Remus walked to the dog park every morning since he left Hogwarts for the summer. He enjoyed the company of dogs,and it was a nice peaceful place for him to relax. Most of the time he would have a book with him,but other times he just watched the dogs play in the grass.

         Presently he was reading a book on a bench when he felt something wet on his leg.He glanced down to see a fluffy black dog staring up at him. 

 " Hello there, what's your name?".

 He leaned down and placed his hand on the dogs neck,where his collar should've been.

 ' hmm,that's weird,' Remus thought to himself. 

 The black dog nudged the book out Remus' hands and started to pull on his  pants gently. Whining as he did so. 

" Ok, ok. Jeeze you remind me of someone I know back at school,"Remus laughed he swore he saw the dog smile at him when he said that.

        Remus and the dog walked through the park together,the dog always at his side. He never left to chase other dogs,which surprised Remus. The warm summer blew through his sandy brown hair as he thought about his friends at school. They were going into their fourth year after the summer.

 Remus was still shocked that his friends were fine with him being a werewolf. They had confronted him about the last week of school,and Remus was terrified the whole time.  He still thought when he came back from summer they would hate him.  He couldn't bear the thought of Sirius hating him. Remus couldn't figure it out,but there was something about boy that Remus loved.

        Just then he was snapped out of his thoughts when the dog nudged him. He felt something on his cheek.He slowly raised his hand and touched his cheeks. Remus realized he was crying. 

The dog started whimpering and looked up at him with worried eyes. The dog was rubbing itself against Remus' leg. Remus sat down and pet the dog gingerly.He was fighting tears, but eventually gave up and let them flow freely. The dog came up to him and licked his face, getting rid of the tears. He curled up next to Remus and fell asleep.

 Remus watched the dog,petting it subconsciously. Remus fell asleep at the dog park, and didn't wake up until it was 8:00 pm.

 He pat the dog and got up. He slowly walked home with his book in hands. He thought only of the dog and the good times he had with him.

And he was completely oblivious.
