long as my last story. Please review and please give this story a chance. I
really hope you like it. Reviews will motivate me so review as much as
possible!! Here it is with a slight introduction!
Disclaimer- Why would I post on fanfiction.net if I was the most famous writer ever? I would seriously need to get a life. I don't own anything but the plot and any other new characters that did not appear in the first 5 books written by J.K Rowling.

Secrets.
They are what make us who we are
Everyone has them
Everyone needs them
Secrets can be your greatest friend
Secrets can be your darkest enemy
But everyone needs them
It doesn't matter how big
It doesn't matter how small
Life changing
Or trivial
Secrets keep us alive
And protected
Safety
And assurance
But sometimes you're secrets can be discovered
Will they care?
Will they understand?
Cast aside into the loneliness?
Or Accepted?
Secrets are your most personal thing
August 30th Harry ran through the fields of Surrey in an unfamiliar form. No.he wasn't an animagus. He was a werewolf and it was the first time he had transformed. The rain came down hard and the bright full moon made Harry glisten. He soaked up the pouring rain and let out a loud howl to the moon.
It happened exactly one month ago the day before Harry's birthday. It was on July 30th. Harry's summer was going just like every other one. He wrote once a week to the order so they didn't come barging in ready to hex the Dursley's. He hated his last living relatives with a passion but that would just make things more hectic. The order was practically ignoring Harry again but he did receive letters from them and his friends. It was very rare when someone came to visit but on July 30th, Moony came.
~~~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~~~
Harry was sitting in his tiny room in Privet Drive in the late afternoon on July 30th. The little mirror that his godfather had given him was shattered in the corner of the room but it was hardly forgotten. Harry wanted so bad to repair it but the threat of expulsion was too strong since the Dudley incident the year before and Harry knew that he would be in lots of trouble if he used any sort of magic, simple or not.
The Dursley's were completely ignoring Harry but the boy didn't mind at all. That was how he liked it, how he preferred it. The only time he ever saw anyone of his wretched family was when he went down to grab something to eat out of the kitchen. He said a quick "thank you" to whoever was in there and he took whatever he had and ate it up in his room giving Hedwig the leftovers.
Now Harry waited for Remus Lupin to come for a visit. They hadn't really talked about Sirius. They didn't even mention him as they went about doing other things. He had gotten a letter two days before saying that his former professor would come and take Harry out for the day. Harry heard something from downstairs and he knew it was probably Lupin. Before Harry knew it the werewolf was knocking on the door and entering.
"Hello Harry," Remus greeted.
"Hello Professor," Harry said grinning. He was surprisingly happy at seeing other life forms besides the piggy Dursley's.
"Haven't I told you to call me Remus? How are you doing?" Remus asked.
"Fine," Harry replied.
It was the truth. Harry was doing fine like every other year. Emotionally he was a little bit confused but it wasn't like he cried in front of anyone or anything. He never did and he wasn't going to start now.
"So, how about we go to Hogsmeade for bit? I'm in the mood for a butterbeer. How about you?"
"More like a firewhisky," Harry muttered.
"What was that Harry?" Remus asked.
"Nothing, I would love to go," Harry smiled but then realized something. "What about the order?"
"Yeah, they will be very close by."
Harry sighed but agreed.
"How are we supposed to get there? Everyone thinks the floo system is too dangerous and I don't know how to apparate yet."
"Well, someone will have to teach you this year but why don't we take the knight bus for now?"
Harry raised his eyebrows when he talked about the apparating bit but agreed on taking the knight bus.
"Okay then, I already told your uncle that we were going out so let's go. I will flag the bus down."
Harry nodded and got up to leave but then he remembered something.
"Remus, wait!" Harry called. "Will you repair that for me please?" Harry asked pointing to the shattered mirror in the corner by Hedwig's cage. Harry missed the look of brief sadness in the werewolf's eyes but the man nodded and a simple repairing charm was cast. Harry smiled and walked out of his uncle's house wishing he didn't ever have to return but of course that would be a wish that wouldn't come true anytime soon. "Thank you," Harry said as the big multiple-decker bus came to a stop at the curb about five feet away from them. Stan opened the door and greeted them. Then they walked into the bus.
"Hello Neville..er..I mean.Harry Potter."
Remus gave them a very confused look but Harry responded with a look that clearly said 'I'll tell you later.'
"So where are y'all headed today?" Stan asked.
"We are going to Hogsmeade," Lupin told him.
"Okay, make yourselves comfortable and we will be there shortly."
They thanked the driver and sat down in a far corner.
"So why did he call you Neville?" Remus asked.
"Oh, well in my third year I ran away and I accidentally called the knight bus. I didn't know what was going on really so I said I was the first name that came in my mind. Stan actually believed me and only found out when Fudge called my name when we got in Diagon Alley."
"Wow," was all that Remus said.
The ride was indeed a short one and they immediately went to the Three Broomsticks and they both got a butterbeer from Madame Rosmerta and sat in a lit up corner table. They conversed about anything they could think of but avoiding the topic of their late friend and godfather. Harry really did need to talk about it but both of them were almost..afraid to confirm out loud that he was dead. They did know of course mentally but it just seemed worse when spoken.
"Harry," Remus spoke softly after he took another gulp of the sweet butterbeer, "I think its time we talk."
Harry wasn't paying much attention when his former professor had said that last thing. He was too busy staring at a man who looked strangely familiar drinking a firewhisky at the opposite side of the building. He was well built and had long dusty blonde hair that flowed in his face every so often. His eyes were a stunning blue and his face was unshaven. There was something so familiar about him but Harry just couldn't think about what it was.
He was brought out of his little trance by Moony calling him.
"Harry!"
Harry looked up suddenly and blushed. "Sorry, what were you saying?"
"I was saying I think we should talk about what we have been avoiding the last three months," Remus said.
"Um.no thanks," Harry said nervously looking back at the man.
"Harry are you okay?" Lupin asked.
"I'm fine and there isn't really anything to talk about."
"Please Harry. We need to talk about Sirius."
"Why?" Harry choked.
"Harry, Sirius wouldn't have wanted us to grieve for so long," Remus sighed.
Just then the man Harry was looking at before came up to them and spoke. He stared directly into Harry's eyes and Harry felt his stomach lurch. He wasn't even sure why.
"Hello, I am Blake Orion. I'm the new DADA professor at Hogwarts and I couldn't help but notice you both. I know you are Harry Potter and you must be Remus Lupin."
Harry was quite shocked at what the Professor was saying. How did he know who Remus was?
"Oh my gods!" Remus suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" both Harry and Orion asked.
Remus shook his head slightly and said it was nothing. The man left after a short farewell and Harry and Remus walked out into Hogsmeade. Moments later Tonks appeared and told them to go back to the Dursley's. Harry wasn't sure why but by the time they were back in surrey it was getting to be sunset. They were walking in a large deserted field in Surrey a little ways away from the house. They still had a little time to be with each other and Harry really didn't want to return to the lonely house. As the sun set further and further the moon started to rise. Harry realized that it was the night of a full moon and an expression of fear soon crept on his face as Remus screamed out in pain.
"Harry! I forgot to take wolfsbane! RUN!" he yelled.
Harry did without question. So many different thoughts ran through his mind as he ran as fast as he could without looking back. He heard a long and ferocious howl and he chanced a look behind him and saw the werewolf form of Moony gaining on him. Harry swore as he was jumped on from behind. He felt a deep bite in his stomach and he blacked out.
Harry opened his eyes hours later and the moon was directly overhead. Moony was no where to be seen and Harry hoped desperately that he was okay. Harry made his way to the Dursley's and stayed in his room recovering the muggle way for the next 2 weeks. He was a werewolf from then on and he knew it.
He ordered the correct ingredients needed for the wolfsbane potion and after several tries he succeeded in making it. He knew that Moony was okay and had forgotten all about it because he got a letter a week later saying how much of a good time he had when they were in Hogsmeade. Harry was glad Remus didn't know what had happened. Now he could keep it a secret.
~~~ End Flashback~~~
So now Harry was a werewolf and there wasn't anything he could really do about it except take the wolfsbane potion. He would have to make it monthly so no one would find out but remembering how people found out about Remus he hoped desperately that he could do a better job in hiding it. He was ashamed. He wasn't sure why but he knew that everyone would probably be horrified that the-boy-who-lived was now a dangerous creature. Everyone would probably cast him aside and if Remus found out then he would surely be guilty. Harry really didn't want that. He could handle it all but he didn't know if he could handle the whole wizarding world finding out.
Harry kept running through the rainy night. It felt really good but the pain of the transformation was hurting so bad. The worst part of it all was he couldn't tell anyone or get healed by the magical way.

A/N- I will update tomorrow if I get reviews! I know Harry or Remus seem to be out of character but I am trying a different approach a little bit. It will all be back to acting on character soon.
