Another path for Remus lupin

Yarn's Orphanage for Young Boys and girls

Susan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Bobby Findlestick? Are you sure that's your name dear?"

For a second, Remus was offended, before he realized this was a bold statement to make for someone with the name Susan Clawberry. But, he didn't bring that up.

"Yep," He said, looking at the ground.

"Well dear, I am very sorry for your loss." she paused for a moment, "Do you know any of your parents friends?"

"N-No," Remus told her. He started to calm down on the crying bit.

The woman shook her head. "Well, until we can work out what to do with you, you'll have to come with me,"

Remus jerked his head up, "What?"

"I am one of the owners of Yarn's orphanage for young boys and girls. You can come there and stay there for a bit while we figure out what to do with you," she told him. 

Remus desperately wanted to say no. He knew he would have to stay somewhere and he couldn't live out in the streets forever. But, the orphanage would be filled with muggles. Muggles that hated werewolves, thought they were monsters. And, muggles were stupid and didn't believe in the existence of werewolves. How would he transform? And, the idea of living with people, who yes, didn't know they existed, but if they did know they existed, they would want to kill them, just like the wizards.

However, Remus's body hurt like mad. The idea of a roof over his head that wasn't the hideout and a place where you could get food without having to hunt or steal, outweighed his hatred for muggles.

But, he wasn't to stay there forever of course. He would have to run away before the next full moon came. If he could escape an hideout full with vicious werewolves, he could escape an orphanage. 

"Sure," he told her. Susan beamed a radiant smile at him.

"Excellent! I assure you that the orphanage is filled with the most lovely boys and girls!" she said excitedly, "Just follow me! It's not too far away from here,"

Susan turned around and started walking. Remus followed her and walked for what felt like ages. 

"It's not to far away from here,". Yeah right, Remus thought as he trudged along the footpath. 

"We're finally here!" Susan exclaimed and she pointed towards the orphanage. Remus looked up and saw something that looked like a big house. It was 2 stories tall and was made from brown bricks. A few girls that looked like they were 8 or 9, were playing with a skipping rope on the grass, the grass didn't look like it was taken care of very well. It was so long that it touched the girls knees and it looked brown. 

Clearly these people don't care about the state of their grass

However, this didn't seem like a problem to the girls, who looked happy while they skipped and sang this song about a teddy bear that walked up some stairs. Their white dresses flowing each time they took a jump.

Susan and Remus walked to the front of the red door, with a silver plaque that was rusting, that read: Yarn's orphanage for young boys and girls

Susan pulled out some keys and unlocked to front door. Inside, were 2 girls, who looked about 5 that were sitting cross-legged on the blue carpet that had little red dots on it. The carpet had a few stains on it. To the side, was a door that had a plaque that read: Eating area. There was a few doors on the side that had the bathrooms and showers in it. 

Also off to the side was a flight of stairs, that were in a spiral, the stairs had the same carpet on it.  All the way at the back, was a little brown table that looked heavily polished, it had 2 drawers in the front of it and a man was sitting in a chair, a man in business pants and a fancy coat, eating what looked like a sandwich while reading a newspaper.
