Harry Potter and Some Really Bad Luck

Harry was sleeping peacefully that morning. Yellow sunlight streamed through the windows. There was not a cloud in the sky. The perfect day. So peaceful, making it so easy to drop off into a nice, dreamless sleep, until-

"I HAVE TO SEE HIM!" said a very loud voice.

It cause Harry to jump and and sit abruptly upright painfully making him wince. The voice seemed to get louder and angrier, making his ears ring and his head hurt. Harry wondered why it all seemed so loud and then he remembered that werewolves have a highly developed sense of smell, hearing, and sight.

'So that explains why everything looked so clear last night!' Harry thought, it all making sense now.

He then tried out his new sense of smell.

Harry sniffed the air and found that it was Madam Pomfrey and Professor Lupin at the Hospital Wing door. He could tell their scent! He also smelled lilacs next to his bed, along with Bertie Bott's every flavor beans, chocolate frogs, pumpkin pasties, homemade fudge, and... puking pastilles.

'Thanks Fred and George!' he thought. He then made a mental note not to eat anything that the twins gave him EVER.

While thinking about his abilities he didn't realize that the noise had finally settled down.


"Please Poppy, I have to see him. This is all my fault. I have to see him." he whispered.

"Remus, I've already told you, he needs his rest. Nobody is allowed to see him till he's awake." she whispered back.

"Please," He said.

He looked so depressed and broken that Poppy couldn't say no anymore. She nodded and opened the hospital wing doors.


Harry looked up at the doors when two people walked in. One was Madam Pomfrey, who looked in a fowl mood. The other was Remus. He looked horrible. He had stitches all over his face, his hair was wild and everywhere (Much like Harry's), his robes were tatters and shredded, having been repaired for probably the hundredth time, and he looked down right terrified. His face was deathly pale and his eyes were as wide as dinner plates, he was also shivering.

"Harry..." he said, looking strait at the wide awake and alert teenager, wrapped in bandages that were being soaked through with blood. "Oh, I'm so sorry..." he then began to cry. He walked over to Harry and pulled him into a soft hug, and was shocked when Harry hugged back.

Harry could immediately smelled that Remus was a werewolf. And not just any werewolf, but the Alpha. Remus was part of his pack!

Remus pulled away sniffling. "Can you ever forgive me Harry?"

Harry stared at Remus. He was asking for his forgiveness? That was a stupid question! Of course he would forgive him!

"Remus," Harry said, "stop being a git and give me another hug. I need them right now."

Remus smiled sadly and pulled Harry into another hug.

"So, does that answer you idiotic question?" Harry asked, smiling smugly.

Remus nodded as they pulled away. He wasn't smiling anymore.

"But you shouldn't forgive me," he said brokenly.

"Remus," Harry said, "it wasn't your fault so get over it and stop blaming yourself!" This angered Harry. Why did he have to be like this? It wasn't his fault! If he had to put up with guilt Remus forever he would go mad!

"I'm sorry Harry, it's just-" he began.

"Remus, I will deal with what I have to, but no matter what it will never be your fault so please stop apologizing!" he whined.

Remus laughed at this. OK, sorry-"

"Your apologizing!" Harry scolded.

"God, your one Hell of a kid, aren't you?" Remus said, his eyebrows knitting together.

"The one and only!" said Harry smugly.

"How can a child get bitten by a werewolf and then be perfectly cool about it by morning?" Remus said disbelievingly.

"I'm trying to look at the perks." Harry said simply.

"Perks," Remus scoffed, "what perks?"

"Well the smell is pretty cool," said Harry.

"Just don't go near any muggle dumpsters," laughed Remus.

"I think I'll take that advice," said Harry grinning.

"Well all right, I guess I'll let you sleep now, I need to go pack." he sighed.

Pack? Wait, he didn't mean...

"Professor! You didn't get fired did you?" Harry asked panicking.

"No, Harry," Remus said smiling, "I did not get fired. I resigned. And for the last time stop calling me Proffessor unless your in class!"

"Bu... But... But WHY!" he exclaimed.

"Because, well first off I infected you and I do not wish for that to ever happen again," he said, looking grim. "And second someone let slip to the whole Slytherin House about my condition. Parents will start sending their hate letters and letters asking for my resignation before I know it. I don't feel up to any howlers at the moment either. Third of all Dumbledore has already done enough on my behalf and I will not pester him any longer. And fourth of all, if I stay around and your start disappearing the same way I do people will get suspicious."

"But none of that matters!" Harry pleaded. "We can deal with all of that stuff! Dumbledore can think of something-"

"As I have said Dumbledore has already sacrificed enough on my behalf." Remus cut in.

"But your the best Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher we've ever had." Harry said hurt. 'This is all my fault' Harry thought.

"I may have been a good teacher and I'm thrilled that you and your classmates liked me as your teacher, but there will always be a better teacher out there for you." Remus said, and then he left the room without another word.

Harry watched the door slam behind Remus sadly. Then he started to look through his gifts and he found all sweets except one.

He picked it up, and it felt like a book. He found a card that read:

Dear Harry,

I'm truly sorry about what happened last night.

I hope this helps.

Your friend,

Remus Lupin

Harry set the card to the side and ripped into the brown wrapping paper.

Inside was a huge 2,000 page book about werewolves. It was called, The Wolves Guide to Wolves by C. D. W.

He gasped at the book in awe. It was velvety black in color and the edges of the pages were painted a glimmering gold.

He opened the book and read the first page:

INTRO

The werewolf is a commonly misunderstood being. People mistake them for being cold-blooded killers when that is really not the case. Werewolves commonly bond with certain humans who are part of their pack (Pg 78) and make some of the most loyal friends imaginable. Society has made them outsiders, unworthy of normal wizarding rights, making it harder and harder for them to find trustworthy pack members. They are social beings and should be treated as such. Learning about werewolves can be one of the best ways to dismiss old prejudices. So I invite you to read this story and look into the lives of the wolves.

CHAPTER I

When a werewolf is first bitten it can be hard to adjust. The senses are intensified 20 times that of a normal human, making it hard to be around loud noises or rather stinky places. Usually soon after the bite, the man or woman finds themselves slipping out of consciousness as their DNA is changed, and when they wake up around three hours later they would be in immense pain. They will notice no physical changes unless they let their inner wolf have free reign, but if they control it the only physical changes would be a sudden increase in strength.

Being a new werewolf can be a scary experience, especially for those who are very young...

Harry read and read all day long only stopping when Madam Pomfrey came in for her regular checkup. He noticed many things that the book mentioned about new werewolves that had already happened to him and new things to expect, such as after a few days being able to sense people's emotions, and being able to know things that would happen a few seconds before they did. 'I need to thank Remus for the book later,' Harry thought, and then he drifted off into another peaceful slumber.
