The Journal of Remus Lupin

70

Something weird happened today....

I'm here, in the hospital wing, writing this down. It's late, no one else is here, and I don't want to wake Madame Pomfrey.

I was talking to Zeke while we were waiting for Ralph. Ralph took a while, so we started to go look for him. We found him....in the middle of a cluster of Gryffindors. Gryffindors! they call themselves brave! Dad....I know you weren't like them...but....

Anyway, they were hexing him, and they had his wand, and he was tired. They were calling him AWFUL names, dad. Were you ever called those names?

I don't know what came over me. I have no idea. I stepped up and told them all to stop. Zeke followed too. They started laughing. I would've laughed too....There I was, with slightly pink-ish-grey-ish-weird hair, wand down, really weak, yet I was yelling at them to stop.

Two words. One name.

"Or what, Lupin?"

Lupin. Lupin. Lupin. It seemed to echo. They say it like it's a taunt.

I don't know what happened. He (one of the five Gryffindors...I've dubbed him big-head since his name doesn't even matter) threw a disarming spell at me and the guy beside him knocked Zeke back. Then....how do I explain this??

Uhh.. .The guy (Big head)was about to hex me....I was wandless...I was mad...and the hex...It didn't hit me. It was as if someone had cast a shield spell in front of me....I don't know who.

I felt tired...but I was still mad....maybe my hair turned red? I don't know.

All five of them were about to hex/jinx/curse me....but all five of them were knocked back. I was so tired that I.....I think I fainted?

I don't know.

All I know is that i'm here now, in the hospital wing. This journal was in my messenger bag (I was wearing this earlier)...and It's all i can do....to write this down.

I hope madame Pomfrey can explain it. I suspect someone with an invisibility cloak, like uncle Harry's, was there. Maybe Indigo?

Anyway, even though I know I can't sleep...i'll try, for now.

Bye.
