"I wonder who that is." Hermione said, watching the older man walk up the winding path to the school.

Harry and Ron stopped talking about Quirrell and turned their heads to see who their friend was talking about.

"Maybe he's the new DADA teacher." Ron suggested. "I mean there are still a few weeks of school left. Dumbledore wouldn't just cancel the class, would he?" Ron questioned looking at Harry

However, Harry wasn't paying attention. He cocked his head to the side as he studied the familiar man. A small frown appeared on his face as a memory made its way forward of the man lifting Harry into his arms and giving him a hug… Harry vaguely recalled calling the man Mooey? No… Moony, his name was Moony. Harry jumped to his feet and began a quick jog down the slight hill towards the path.

Half way there, more confident that it was the man he remembered, he shouted: "Moony… Moony, wait!"

Remus Lupin was unsure what the headmaster wanted and despite the vague missive and the fact that he hadn't lived in the Wizarding world in more then 8 years he answered it anyway.

Lost in thought he didn't notice the short first year making his way towards him at a near run until he heard the boy shout out a name he hadn't heard in ten years. His head snapped up and he stared as the boy neared. A boy that could only be Harry Potter, so much did he look like his father.

Harry didn't slow his speed as he neared the older man. Instead, he launched himself into the taller mans arms trusting that he would catch him as he had always caught him when he was a baby.

With his arms and legs wrapped tightly around the man's body and his face buried in his neck, Harry continued to mumble Moony over and over again.

Remus clutched Harry against him and let a tear fall from his eye as he felt the hole in his heart fill up just a little bit. His pack, his cub back in his arms again it was a wonderful feeling.

Just then, Harry's two friends came to a skidding halt in front of the embracing pair.

"Harry?" Ron panted as he looked at the two people in front of him.

Harry disentangled himself from Remus and gave his two best friends a huge smile while he cuddled back into Moony's side. "Guy's this is my Moony. Moony these are my friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger."

Remus gave a huge smile when he heard Harry introduce him as his Moony.
