This fanfic is around late January, just so you don't get confused with the book and the movie. This is after Harry finds out about Lupin, but he doesn't leave the school. ENJOY!

Chapter 1

The Howl

A long, ear-piercing howl reached the corridors of Gryffindor tower. The howl caught the attention of a thirteen-year-old boy, staring out his window to look at the full moon. His thoughts were set on a certain teacher he has as he continued staring at the moon. As he heard the loud howl his head twitched away from the sight of the moon and stared at the Forbidden Forest, just a few metres away from Hagrids' hut. His eyes widened behind his glasses he wore as the howler sounded in pain. As he whipped his head around to look around the boys' dorm, his jet-black hair waved in the wind it gave as his head spun to look around.

"That sounded like Professor Lupin" Harry said. "And it sounds like he's in pain."

Harry hopped off the window ledge and walked over to his trunk. It was a red trunk with his initials carved in gold on the lid. Harry opened his trunk and dug through his clothes to try and find his invisibility cloak. His hand, soon, touched something light and silky and he tried to pull it out, as Harry knew it was the invisibility cloak. Harry tried not to make a sound, so he didn't wake the other boys. The invisibility cloak was hidden halfway under all his robes and books, but he got it out by shifting them aside with his free hand. Once he got it out, Harry looked around his dorm once more to see if everyone was asleep.

Ron was snoring quite loudly, Neville was muttering in his sleep; probably about their next potions class with Professor Snape, Seamus and Dean were sleeping peacefully on their beds. Harry smiled and wrapped himself in the cloak, soon covering up his head in the cloak as he headed to the door. Harry didn't bother getting changed or closing his trunk, as he knew he would just help Professor Lupin, then go back to bed.

Before Harry left he grabbed his wand out of his bedside drawer. Harry closed the door and continued creeping down the stairs to the common room. He walked through the common room and towards the portrait hole. Harry climbed out of the portrait hole and started walking over to the grand staircase. Harry walked down the staircases, one time waiting for them to move back into place. Once Harry arrived in the entrance hall, he saw something in front of the castle doors.

"Mrs. Norris" Harry whispered, but she didn't hear him. "How will I get past her?"

Harry turned around and saw a vase near the marble staircase he came from.

"I hope no one will mind if I did this" Harry said. "Besides, Filch will probably think Peeves did it."

Harry took out his wand and moved his hand through the invisibility cloak.

He waved his wand and said in a light whisper, "Flipendo."

The vase exploded and shattered to the floor in a muddle of pieces. Mrs. Norris saw this and ran over to the shattered fragments of the vase and meowed as Harry slipped over to the door and opened it. Harry closed the door and started running towards Hagrids' hut. Harrys' feet trampled along the wet grass as he ran. Hagrids hut was coming into view as Harry stopped behind a tree near his friends' house. The lights were on, yet he couldn't see any movement inside. Harry ran the rest of the way to Hagrids' front doorstep. He reached his hand to open the door, but it was locked.

"I'm guessing he's asleep," Harry said.

Harry aimed his wand at the door and said "Alohomora."

The door clicked and Harry put his wand back in his pocket as he opened the door. Inside was Hagrid, sitting in his armchair, asleep, while Fang was sleeping in his bed. Harry took off the invisibility cloak and put it on Hagrids' table.

"A very useful spell I learnt from Hermione in first year" Harry said, quietly.

Harry looked around the room and then headed back to the door.

"I'll just leave the invisibility cloak here while I check out what's happened" Harry said as he closed the door, leaving it unlocked so he could get back in if Professor Lupin was in trouble.

Soon, as Harry closed the door another howl sounded and Harry turned around and ran into the Forbidden Forest as fast as he could. The dark trees covered most of the sky, but not the full moon that shone down on Harry. Harry squinted around the forest as he took out his wand.

"Lumos" Harry said as the tip of his wand lit up with a golden yellow light.

Harry waved his wand in all directions, trying to find the source of the howl. A sound of leaves getting crushed as well as a growl behind Harry was the answer he needed to know where the howler was. Harry whirled around and saw a brown werewolf coming out of the bushes with its teeth bared. Harry took a few steps away from the werewolf as it progressed towards him.

"You're not Professor Lupin" Harry gasped. "And you not even in pain"

Harry looked over the werewolf as it growled once more. Soon, Harry figured it out.

"You tricked me!" Harry cried.

The werewolf growled loud and threatening at Harry as it started running towards him. Harry quickly whirled around, about to run away, when he felt a searing pain in his right leg, while his left leg caught on a root sticking up from the ground and he fell over. Dropping his wand in the process and making the light at the end go out.

Another burst of searing pain went through Harrys' right leg as he screamed so loud it sounded like it could reach the heavens. The pain was agony to Harry as he grabbed at his leg, the werewolf lifted its left paw-like hand to scrape against Harrys' face, but Harry saw it coming and shielded his face with his free arm. The werewolfs' claws scraped against his arm as Harry screamed louder in pain as blood started coming out of the wounds, but very slowly.

His scream reached an open window where a werewolfs' head looked up from a book when his ears heard the scream. He recognised it and at once got out of his chair and ran out of his office. Running through the secret passage that lead to the entrance hall on all fours as fast as he could. The passage opened just around a corner at the top of the marble staircase. The werewolf ran around the corner and down the marble stairs. Sir Nicholas/Nearly Headless Nick; Gryffindor house ghost saw him.

"Hello, Remus, where are you off to tonight?" Nick asked.

Lupin ignored him and ran to the oak doors, leading to the grounds as he saw it was open a little bit. Sir Nicholas stared in awe at Lupins' reaction and floated up the stairs.

Lupin ran across the grounds to where the screaming was coming from. He looked up to see where he was running. He was running towards the Forbidden Forest to where he heard the screaming was coming from. He continued running, until he saw a brown werewolf on its hind legs about to scratch a boy. Lupin took a closer look at the boy that the werewolf was about to scratch and he noticed it was Harry.

His eyes grew wide as at seeing Harry out here, but ignored that and ran faster and jumped over Harry to land on the werewolf. The werewolf pushed Lupin off as Lupin let a growl come out of his mouth. The brown werewolf snarled and then ran off into the darker part of the Forbidden Forest. Lupin stopped baring his fangs and turned to look at Harry. Harrys' eyes were drooping as he had lost a lot of blood from the bite and scratch.

"Pro…Profess…or" Harry stammered as he fell unconscious.

Lupin walked over to Harry on all fours and sniffed his right leg. A whimper escaped his throat as he finished sniffing it. He looked at the unconscious expression on Harrys' face as Lupin moved around to the back of Harrys' head. Lupin grabbed hold of a loose piece of fabric on Harrys' pyjamas in his closed jaws and started dragging Harry to some place safe.
