Sucker(Wolfstar)

Chapter Two: Past

Some children showed their first signs of magic seconds after they were born. Perhaps their hair wouldn't stay one solid colour, or the lights would burst as they cried, that didn't happen to Remus. Remus' parents were almost sure he was a squib until he was ten and a half. See, Remus Lupin had a special, almost undetectable magic, he could disappear. Well, almost...

Remus was always the best at hide and seek, it was like he could blend into his surroundings, like a chameleon against a tree or a wolf in the dark woods. All he was really doing was altering the mind on a very small scale, causing people look at everything but him, simple, really. But his parents never really noticed until the fire incident.

Remus had been seven at the time of the fire, but it was something he would probably remember forever. He had been playing outside when the fire started and he knew much better than to go back inside! So he stayed by the edge of the fence and waited, waited for someone to fetch him and tell him he was safe. But no one seemed to notice him, not the muggle firefighters who were calling his name and looking straight at him!

"Why are you ignoring me?" He asked, but there was no response. Remus thought this was more than a little rude, "why are you ignoring me!" He said, raising his voice, but still, nothing.

"Remus!" His father yelled "Where are you?!" This was too much for him to handle, his own father pretending he didn't exist!

"I'm right HERE!" He yelled clenched his fists. Unbeknownst to him, a tiny cloud had started to form above his ahead and little raindrops started to fall on his shoulders and in his hair. Remus looked up and screamed, causing a bolt of lightning to strike a small part of his head.

"Remus! Baby! Are you okay" Hope Lupin cried as her husband walked around to the front of the house, carrying their son in his arms.

"He'll be fine," Lyall, Remus' father, said in a calm voice "it was like he was invisible... one second he was missing, the ne-"

"Shut up!" Hope said in a frantic whisper as she cradled her son's small face in her hands "Hey sweetie, please wake up... For mummy?"

Remus was under fine, just a bit, in shock. He woke up a few minutes later, missing the great crowd of ministry employees who had to hunt down each and every firefighter and neighbor on site and obliviate their memories of the fire, since Lyall Lupin was a prominent member of the ministry, they even repaired the house.

Remus was startled to say the least, but he had gained two things from the entire ordeal, proof that he was a wizard, and a tiny streak of grey hair behind his left ear.

A few weeks after that, while his father was at work, he was bitten by Fenrir Greyback.
