The Age of a New Werewolf
Chapter 5
The Changes and The Rejections

During the days in St. Mungos Remus and his parents were informed of things that had to be done. Like, Remus needed a place to transform on full moons and all the silver in their home had to be removed. Then there were some warnings that were mentioned to the Lupins, like you couldn’t stick your veins in Remus’ face because then he would get the urge to bite them and suck on it. There were many other things like different potions had to be made for his healing and more. Also, he had new abilities like stronger hearing and smell. He also couldn’t see color, only black and white. All these changes were over whelming for Remus mind, and yet something else was different. Something that was foreign and not normal.

Mrs. Lupin never cast a friendly gaze at her son. Every time she looked at him it was filled with disgust, emptiness, or a fake smile when the doctor came in. Mr. Lupin tried to get his wife to accept Remus for what he was and treat him like her son before the incident but she didn’t budge. It was the most heart-crushing thing ever. Why was this happening? So he was different, he was still her sensitive child. Couldn’t she see that? Many times he wished he could go back in time and start over but he’d remember hat it was impossible and tears betrayed him.

Finally, after a few days of being in St. Mungos Remus finally went home with his dad, his mom left the hospital early. When he got there he tugged on his dad’s shirt so his dad would know he wanted to talk to him. Mr. Lupin bended down to look at his son straight in the eye,” Yes Remus?” He gazed at the lycan heart filled and a positive beat possessed his voice.

Remus shuffled his feet,” Can I please talk to you in my room in private?” His voice was so quiet and scared it was almost hard to hear him.

Mr.Lupin nodded,” Of course.” He stood up and took Remus’ hand as they entered the house, greeted Mrs.Lupin with a friendly hello she only returned to Mr. Lupin, and headed up stairs for Remus’ bedroom. The dad quietly shut the door and sat beside his son on the bed in the corner. “ What was it you wanted t talk about?”

“ I-“ Remus tried but water swelled in his eyes and he threw himself on his father and embraced him. “ Why does Mummy hate me?! Don’t tell me she doesn’t! I know she does!” His tears stained the shirt he clutched to. He was shaking all over, even his own breath was un even.

Mr. Lupin held his sobbing son in his strong arms and rubbed his back soothingly, hoping it might help the crying. “ Remus, it’s not that she hates you it’s that-

“ Yes she does!” Remus howled as if he were in pain.

“ She just doesn’t understand. Everything that is magical is new to her. She’s not used to it still, and I think she might even be afraid of it.” He ruffled the werewolf’s hair a little and kissed it. “ Give her some time, by three days I believe she should be back to her old loving self.” His voice was calm and careful, ignoring his son’s outburst. Remus nodded a little still tearing, sniffling, and shaking.

“ I-I guess.” He stuttered, praying that his dad was right. He looked up to his parent with his glassy and watery eyes to meet watering eyes like his own.

“ I’m sorry, Remus. This is my fault.” His father confessed tears diving off his face one by one.

Remus shook his head rapidly and argued quietly,” No dad. It’s my fault. I ran out there and-

“ No.”, His dad interrupted,” It will never be your fault. I got angry for stupid reasons and made you feel like you had to be some thing more than you were. It wasn’t right. I’m sorry.”

Remus sighed still leaving himself with the blame and nodded,” I forgive you, Daddy.” He dug his face into his dad’s shirt as more tears escaped him. “ I always will.”

Large caring hands searched through Remus’ hair softly and lightly,” I love you, Remus.”

“ I love you too.” He replied watching his dad’s tears drip from his bangs.

Unlike Mr. Lupin predicted, Remus’ mom had not changed at all. She avoided Remus’ eyes and found any reason to leave when Remus was in the room. Every night, after being rejected he’d plop on his bed and wrench the tears from his eyes.

One bright shining day the young lycan was playing by himself climbing the short trees. He was heading down one of them slowly and carefully enjoying the quiet. When he was almost at the last branch when he lost his grip and he fell out of it landing on his wrist. “ Gah!” He cried, water searching down his cheeks. He slowly stood up and ran to his mother in the garden “ Mummy!” His mother looked at Remus with surprise as he came running towards her. “ Mummy, I fell on my arm.” He cried silently showing her where it hurt on his arm. She sighed, obviously annoyed by his presents and took it to make a quick examination.

“ It looks fine.” She explained heartlessly and let go of it to continue watering the plants. At this point Remus was on the edge, he wrapped his small arms around his mother’s legs,” Mum! Talk to me please! I love you!” liquid streamed from Remus’ eyes. Mrs. Lupin didn’t embrace her son, she cocked her eye brow.

“ What are you doing?”

“ Remus looked up to her with shock,” What do you-

“ What are you doing? Why are you touching me?” Remus’ gaze became dark and fierce, tear still escaping him. The furry in his tiny body rose, something he never felt before. Hate, wrath, a need to bite something. He kicked his mother and made a dash for it. He could hear his mother cursing and following him as he ran in the house. He saw his dad and hid behind his leg.

“ Remus, what are you-

“ Dad, I- I don’t know what came over me.” He whimpered as his mother pointed a threatening finger at him.

“ That little-

“ Allison, calm down. I’m sure he didn’t mean-

“ HE KICKED ME THE BRAT!” Mrs. Lupin was shooting a killing gaze at Remus. If looks could kill his mother would have sent silver daggers straight at his disintegrating heart.

“ Calm down, I’m sure we can take care of this with ease, alright?” Mr. Lupin said in a firm voice bending down to Remus stroking his brunette locks and holding him in secure arms.

“ I don’t think so. If we don’t act now he’ll never do what we want him to. First the forest and now this”

Mr. Lupin whispered in Remus’ ear,” Go in your room, I’ll take car of this.” He kissed his cheek as Remus nodded and scrambled away.

As he ran he heard his mother arguing,” You just let him go?”

“ Yes, you need to just chill out!” Remus entered his room and threw himself on his bed and threw the pillow over his head sobbing. He took his stuffed dog and sunk his teeth into it hoping blood would pour out. He could hear his parents arguing. He could hear every word with his new hearing. But he didn’t want to listen, he wanted to be in silence, he wanted to be the only person on earth, he wanted to die.
