Back In Time

Remus Lupin

"Come in." Dumbledore called out. I took one last deep breath. And turned around. The door opened and in walked Professor McGonagall. Behind her was a tall boy with light brown hair and light brown, almost golden colored eyes. The scars on his face were more noticeable. But he was still extremely good looking.

"Oh God. I did not just call my uncle/father figure good looking. Oh God. But. He is really good looking. And cute. And even hot. I won't deny that. But. It's still wrong to think that way. Stop thinking that way, Aspen. But he is really good looking." I thought to myself. Trying to keep my face normal.

"Ah, Professor McGonagall. Thank you for bring young Lupin here. Mr. Lupin, so nice for you to join us." Dumbledore replied. Acting like he didn't just know they were coming.

"Thank you for having me, Professor Dumbledore. Have I done something wrong, sir? Am I in trouble?" Remus asked quietly. He still had his soft voice. I smiled. He glanced over at me and gave a small, shy, smile back.

"No, no. You are not in trouble. You have done nothing wrong," Remus relaxed somewhat. "I had Professor McGonagall to bring you here to meet a new student of ours." Dumbledore said. Motioning his hand over to me.

"Hi, I'm Aspen." I said. Moving forward. Extending me hand.

"Hey. I'm Remus." He replied. Extending his hand. We shook.

"Yeah, I'm a new transfer student."

"Cool." He said rather awkwardly. Yeah. This was very awkward. Very. Awkward. I will getting used to the idea of seeing Remus as a teenager. And also him not knowing who I was.

"Miss Wolfe here has something else to tell you as well." Dumbledore called out.

Remus's eyes went wide and his eyebrows raised. I blushed. I had forgotten that part. One of the reasons he was brought here. To know I was a Werewolf like him.

"Sorry, Professor. I forgot."

"That's ok Miss Wolfe."

I turned back to Remus. "Sorry. Anyway. Yeah, I'm a new transfer student here. And the thing that I have to tell you. Is that. I am a Werewolf." I said slowly. And awkwardly.

Remus's eyes got even wider. "Really? I'm one too."

"Yeah. Really. Professor Dumbledore thought it best if we met. You know. Two Werewolves living in the same school and all." I showed him the scar on my neck and chuckled.

He chuckled too. "Yeah. That's probably be for the best. You know. You're name kinda fits the whole Werewolf thing. Aspen sounds like a wolf name. And you're last name is Wolfe."

"I could say the same thing about you. Werewolf McWerewolf." I teased.

He laughed. Throwing his head back a little. He had a nice laugh. I like him. Not in a crush sort of way. In a friend, brother kind of way. I smiled.

"Yeah. You could say the same thing about me. If you don't mind me asking. How long have you been a Werewolf?"

"Um. Since June 24th." I guess June 24th was a full moon here. It wasn't where I was from. But. I guess it was here.

"Oh, so not long then. Cool. I was turned at five years old." Remus said kinda sadly. Putting his head down.

"I'm sorry. Let me guess. Greyback?" I asked. Already knowing the answer.

He looked up. "Yeah. You too?"

"Unfortunately." I bit my lip in nervousness.

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

"Well, it seems like you two are getting along well. Now we do have some matters to discuss, but we will save them for when the full moon comes around. Which isn't for three weeks. So we are good for now. McGonagall. I think the First Years will be arriving shortly. Please go and meet them." Dumbledore said. McGonagall nodded her head and left the office. Then he turned back to Remus and I.
