Chapter 1: The beginning
Chapter Text
Remus Hope Lupin is a thirty nine year old woman who lives by herself in a small hut, Mr Lyall Lupin, Remus's father had cut contact with her over twenty years ago, and Mrs Hope Lupin nee Howell her mother had died twenty nine years ago. Remus was jobless living off some money left to her by her mother, she was skinny scarred and in pain. Remus was a shewolf, she's been ever since she was four
During her time at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry she tried to hide it as much as she could and she would have succeeded if it wasn't for the marauders exposing her secret to everyone. It has been many years since then now the story was long forgotten and Remus was offered a job at Hogwarts as the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher
Early at down on September first 1993 Remus packed her purse and bag and took a bus to London, it was one the earliest buses, she wore baggy coat to cover her skinny body, she hat on and musk and sunglasses to hide her scars, the scares that made her feel cursed and a reminder of her hell of a condition, of the pain she had been carrying for decades, she was not just ugly in many people's eyes but she was ill and dangerous. She stepped out of the bus carrying her bag which contained everything she owned in her cottage shrunk to fit.
At 9:30 she had finally arrived to the station, she was tired already after 75 minutes of walking. She began walked again trying not to draw attention of the muggles
"Excuse me" but of course she could never be in peace. She turned to see a guard of the station "can I see your suitcase please?"
She quietly clicked muggle mode button before opening it, when the guard checked it had few outfits clearly for a poor woman and a soup can and few personal items
"Show me your face, please"
She lowered her mask with trembling hands she took off her sunglasses. The guard flinched when he saw her "ma'am , what happened?" His eyes scanned her face, it was pale as a sheet, thin and bony and... "your scars.., it looks like you had a gardening fork ran over it or a glass smashed into it"
"It was an accident" she said quietly averting his gaze"
He nodded cautiously "Might see your ticket please?"
"I have yet to buy it"
He nodded then gave her the suitcase "have a safe trip. She nodded a thank you and put on her mask and sunglasses again
She stood next to platform ten waiting for a few minutes when she made sure no muggle was there she ran as fast as she could to the brick barrier and walked through it she opened her eyes to see the platform nine and three quarters
There were only less than a dozen people there. Remus took a breath before walking to the ticket booth. There was a wizard no older than thirty sitting there cutting tickets and put them in envelopes to give them to the owls waiting. He noticed Remus standing he put on a professional friendly smile "good morning, how can I help you?"
"I would like an adult ticket please"
"Regular or first class?"
"Regular"
"Alright" he pulled a stack of regular class tickets and wrote on it Adult, "one galleon please"She paid him and took the ticket thanking him then she turned to the train
The Hogwarts Express is a scarlet, steam-powered train that transports students to and from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It departs from Platform 9 and Three-Quarters at King's Cross Station in London. The train consists of old-style passenger cars with compartments, each can hold up to eight students
Remus walked through the empty train looking for the least desirable compartment, she found one at the end of the tunnel, she used her ticket to open the door then got in it. It was a small compartment it may only fit four, she put her purse and bag on the shelf then sat by the window, it would be a long tiring year, but she has missed Hogwarts , she hadn't seen it for over twenty years
As the minutes went by and the students began to arrive Remus was feeling tiredness eventually and exhaustion took over her she hid her face then drift to sleep
.....
........
............
As the HOGWARTS EXPRESS BLEATS ITS HORN, was beginning to move with his whistle high with the smoke, the milling horde of students. Parents hurry their children onboard, tiny siblings wave goodbyes... and Mr.
Weasley dashes through the throng and up to an open train window. MRS. WEASLEY a short plump middle aged woman with red hair was holding a rat and running the aisle "Ron!l She hands the rat through the open window to her red haired freckled faced son.
The aisle teems with students, Ron and Hermione, a girl with bushy hair big front teeth, work their way down the aisle, looking for an empty compartment. As they slipped inside, they found a woman in shabby oversized coat slumped against the window, asleep. She looked ill, exhausted.
Ron looked at her " Who d'you reckon he is?"
Hermione scanned the surrounding "Professor R. H. Lupin" she said as she sat down
Ron looked at her with disbelief and sat next to her
"You know everything. How is it she knows everything?"
Hermione sighed "It's on his case" She pointed at . Stamped in peeling letters on a Battered case is "Professor R. H. Lupin."
A girl stood by the compartment door with her trunk, she was dressed like a muggle. Plain pink shirt and a short jeans skirt, her hair dark cascaded down her shoulders it was dark, her lips thin, her eyes blue. She had simple makeup on with only a mascara and a red lipstick
"Hey, can I come in?" She asked with a heavy American accent
Ron and Hermione looked at each other then turned to her. "Bloody hell" Ron mumbled scanning her. and nodded "sure come in" Hermione said
"Thanks" the girl said casually she put her trunk up and sat next to Remus "and who is that?" She asked looking at her
"That's our new professor R.H.Lupin" the girl let out an oh. "I'm Hermione Granger" she then pointed at the orange cat in the cage "this is Crookshanks"
"I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley. This is scabbers" he said showing her his rat
"Nice to meet you, I'm Samantha Smith, you can call me Sam"
"Pleasure" Hermione said "so, Sam, I haven't seen you before, are you new?"
"Yeah I am to both this school and to Europe"
"Bloody hell, Where are you from then?" Ron asked
"Oh I'm from New York "
"Where's that?" Ron asked
"She's American, Ron" Hermione rolled her eyes the turned to Sam hearing another bloody hell from Ron "so Sam you're from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? A transfer student?"
"No, I was homeschooled now I get to study at a magic school" she shrugged
Hermione raised her eyebrows "your parents taught you at home rather than sending you to an official magic school"
"Mhmm"
"So why are you here now?"
"Mom got a job at the ministry so she enrolled me at hogwash"
"Hogwarts" Hermione corrected "Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry"
"Yeah that one"
"So you've never gone to school?"
"Well, I was going to a regular high school, it was fun I was a cheerleader obviously" she said with pride waving her nail polished hand
"A regular high school?" Ron asked
"She means a muggle school, Ron, a high school is a muggle school from age 14 to 18" Hermione explained then turned back to Sam who was looking through her backpack "I've only seen American high schools in the movies, are they really like that?"
"Of course" Sam smirked as she took a bubble gum from her bag
"What's it like?" Ron asked looking excited. Sam began describing and they both paid attention both excited and curious
Later Hermione asked "so what year are you gonna attend?"
"Sixth" she said chewing her gum
"Bloody hell!" Ron said
"We're third year students, Did you take your OWLs exams?" Hermione asked
"Yeah "
"How was it?" Hermione asked paying more attention now
Sam shrugged "it was cool I guess"
"How much did you get?" Hermione asked
Sam shrugged "dunno, I don't know your O, E stuff. It would have been much easier if it was the regular A,B but I passed"
.....
........
.........
Few hours later Storm clouds, like dark ghosts, toss sheets of rain onto the scarlet engine as it heads north. Remus was still in deep sleep. Sam was reading a magazine Ron was reading a quidditch paper while having snacks, Hermione took a copy of the daily prophet
"Oh God" she mattered as she read the first headline
"What" they both asked looking at her
"It's Sirius Black"
"Who?" Sam asked
"What's with him again?" Ron said sighed annoyed
Hermione read aloud "Dementors on the Loose: A Call for Vigilance
In a surprising announcement, Head Auror of Azkaban prison heir Sirius Orion Black III revealed that the dementors of Azkaban prison have been unleashed in search of unconvicted criminals. These creatures, renowned for their horrific fearsome reputation, have been given new orders to expand their hunt beyond the prison walls.
Auror Black reassured the public that the dementors are highly trained and will stop at nothing to capture these criminals and bring them before the Aurors."
"I don't get it" Sam said she peaked and looked at the picture there was a tall man with long, curly black hair and grey eyes, he had perfectly trimmed beard, he was dressed in dark red uniform. He was standing with the minister posing for the camera "he's handsome" she said
"He's evil!" Ron said "all his family are!"
"Really?"
"Yes" Hermione said with hatred "his family treats everyone else as if they're beneath them. I met Sirius Black once and he sneered at my parents and called them bundle of filth!"
Just then, the compartment patterns. Lanterns flicker. The train lurches , begins to slow. Hermione slides down the seat, pinning Ron against the window. They exchange an awkward glance, then Hermione carefully slides to the other end of the seat and glances at her watch. Ron and Hermione stare at Sam, faces stricken in the lantern light that now glows in the compartment. Crookshanks slumbers in his cage.
"Why're we stopping? We can't be there yet..." Hermione said
Sam rose, she slid open the door, and peered into the corridor. All along the carriage,the train jerked , they all gasped – the car swayed and the lamps running along the ceiling flickered and...
"Dunno... Maybe we've broken down, it's an old train after all" Sam said trying to calm down
"Ouch!Ron, that was my foot!" Hermione said
SQUEAK-SQUEAK-SQUEAK. Ron, a dark silhouette against the window, wipes a patch of condensation from the "There's something moving out there. I thinkl
Ron mumbled "Bloody hell. What's happening?"
Remus opened her eyes wide realising what was happening she stood tiredly trembling
There was a soft, crackling noise, and a shivering light filled the compartment
"Stay where you are," she said in hoarse voice, she got slowly to her feet with holding her lit wand
But the door slid slowly open before Lupin could reach it.
Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the shivering flames in Lupin's hand, was a cloaked figure that towered to the ceiling.
Its face was completely hidden beneath its hood. Before anything could happen a bundle of light smock came out of Remus' wand pushing the creature away
"What was that!?" Screamed Sam
"A dementor" Remus said "the guards of Azkaban prison"
"The guards Black pulled out!?" Hermione panicked
"Yes, they're moving aimlessly"
"Why?!" Snapped Ron
"It's what dementors do" she snapped a bar of chocolate and gave each one a piece of it "Here,Eat it. It'll help. I will go have a word with the driver"
As Remus was walking through the train, she stopped in her tracks upon seeing a boy with curly black hair and striking grey eyes who closely resembled ....Sirius?. The boy noticed Remus observing him, he approached her with a smirk., "This train is meant for students, you know. What's an old woman doing here, trying to relive her youth?"
Remus, standing there in her muggle clothes, his voice broke her out of her thoughts sue bristled but kept her composure. "I'm not here for a nostalgia trip," she replied evenly. "I have business here at Hogwarts, something you're clearly too young to understand."
His grey eyes scanned her from head to toe, judging her appearance "you don't look like a professor material to me"
Remus crossed her arms, her patience starting to fray. "Just because I'm not in the traditional robes, doesn't mean I'm unqualified or incapable, young man," her voice firm. "The world doesn't revolve around appearances."
The boy sneered a bit. "Spoken like someone trying desperately to cling to youth," he comments derisively. "It's cute, really, this little act you're putting on with your oversized clothes."
Remus grits her teeth, her irritation growing. "It may come as a surprise to you, but there's more to life than designer robes and the newest fashion," she retorted sarcastically. "Age doesn't make me obsolete, it gives me experience you're sorely lacking."
The boy smirks again, clearly not convinced. "Experience, huh? Maybe in outdated spells and dusty books, Professor," he replies tauntingly. "But I'll leave the nostalgia to you old folk. We young ones have the future to shape."
Remus narrowed her eyes, taking in the boy's resemblance to Sirius again and the arrogance in his tone. She composes herself and responds, "Aren't you a little young to be expressing such attitudes?"
The teenage boy, unfazed, leaned casually against the wall, his smirk growing wider. "Age doesn't dictate wisdom, madam," he retorted, his gaze shifting to her scarred face. "But I suppose experience does." He eyed her scars, hinting subtly at his prejudice.
Remus instinctively coverd her scars with her mask , a mix of anger and hurt crossing her face. But she regained her composure, her expression hardening. "Experience can bring both wisdom and empathy, two things you seem sorely lacking in," she replied.
A girl in a starry dress and cloak came, she had long curly black hair perfectly styled and she had green eyes blushy pink cheeky, perfect skin and long lashes "what's going on in here?"
"Nothing, Hades" the boy said "just an old woman thinking she can instruct us" his eyes kept locked on Remus
Remus looked at the girl, she also looked familiar except for her eyes, as the picture began to come in her mind... no! No! "I... I ... I can instruct you" she said barely able to speak
"And why so?" He crock and eyebrow
"Because she's our teacher" Hermione barged in with Ron and Ginny
The girl in cloak raised an eyebrow "is she now?"
"Yes and you better not to disrespect her, you've done enough" Hermione scolded the girl
The girl smirked unaffected by it "wow, the mudblood who befriended the beggars telling me how to respect"
"Stop it!" Ron Weasley
The girl stepped closer "and if don't ? What will you do? Cry for your mommy to help? Bringing more beggars to Hogwarts" she turned to the boy "let's go, Ants, the smell here is unbearable "The boy took the girl's arm and walked away giving a last sneer to Remus

It was lit by thousands and thousands of candles which were floating in mid air. The Great Hall was a large hall with four long tables where some students of each House were sitting and having breakfast . The staff table was at the front, where the entire Hogwarts staff sat. There was a throne-like chair in the centre of the table where the headmaster Dumbledore sat. it was enchanted to look like the sky above which was sunny and in a nice weather. To the left of the table was a door which led to a chamber with portraits.
From the staff table, the House tables were as follows Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin.
Remus sat in the professors' table between Hagrid and Snape. Her brown alerted orbs scanned the students tables starting with Slytherin. After few moments she finally found him. The boy who looked like Sirius. He was sitting in the middle with a bunch of other students chatting, his curls fell on his face and he pushed them off before they fell back
The resemblance between him and Sirius was uncanny same hair same face same eyes even same voice and tone but the way he looked at her was different the boy looked as if he wanted to kill her or he was disgusted by her
The sorting ceremony began. Sam stood at the end of the line by herself feeling embarrassed to be standing with the kids rather than sitting. She was impressed at the same time of. Everything was different and beautiful she was never used to such halls nor cafeterias and why were the teachers in the same room as the students, was it just for a ceremony? Do they do it all the time?
"Lestrange, Ermessende" the old witch with the pointed hat called. A boy with short curly hair and violet eyes walked to the witch, the witch placed the hat on his head and it screamed "Slytherin" the boy's outfit turned silver and green. Her ran to a table where a handsome tall guy with long curly hair stood up and hug him then two younger ones hugged the boy
Sam felt her breathing heavier, the guy was so handsome so tall, looked ever hotter than her ex boyfriend who was the captain of the football team. As the guy sat Sam noticed another guy just as handsome but with thicker eyebrows and sharp jawline he had straight hair and striking eyes. That was where she wanted to be, with the handsome table, the handsome dorms
A while later the professor called another student "Roiser, Collette" a brunette hair girl got sorted into Slytherin, she ran to the other handsome guy who was taller and he hugged her tightly with pure joy
As the ceremony was wrapping up the professor announced Sam as the new student in the sixth year and called her to get sorted. She sat on the ugly stool and the hag put the disgusting hat on her head she insisted on going into Slytherin, the hat at the end just accepted and sorted her into Slytherin announcing loudly
Unlike every time, the students on the slytherin table were quiet and confused they did not even clap. She walked awkwardly there. She was expecting a big cheering crowd after all that was used to happen at her old school but here they seemed unimpressed or uninterested. She swallowed her pride and sat
Dumbledore stood and began his speech "Welcome! Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I have a few things to say, before we become befudaled by our excellent feast. I myself am particularly looking forward to the flaming kiwi cups, which, while somewhat treacherous for those of us with facial hair..." McGonagall cleared her throat pointing at him without moving "Mm. Yes. First, I'm pleased to welcome Professor Remus Hope Lupin, who has kindly consented to fill the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Good luck to you, professor"
The Great Hall was alive with chatter as students were excited the announcement of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. The long tables buzzed with excitement and speculation, candles flickering softly overhead. At the staff table, Professor Lupin stood up, her appearance notably less polished than her colleagues—her robes slightly wrinkled, her hair a bit tousled, and an air of quiet apprehension about her.
Despite her modest attire, her eyes were fixed elsewhere. She stood at her podium, her gaze distant and intense, scanning the sea of students but ultimately drawn across the hall. Her focus settled on a boy sitting at the Slytherin table. He looked remarkably like Sirius Black—his dark hair, sharp features, and the mischievous glint in his eyes. It was as if time had folded in on itself, bringing a ghost from her past into sharp focus.
For a moment, the hall seemed to quiet around her. She seemed unaware of the whispers and the curious glances from her colleagues. Her heart pounded softly in her chest, memories rushing back—those stolen moments, the laughter they shared, the love she thought was lost forever. Her hand trembled slightly as she clasped her hands in front of her, anchoring herself to the present.
The boy at Slytherin looked up, catching her gaze. His expression was unreadable, but something in her eyes must have told him she saw a reflection—something familiar, something long-buried. The hall's noise gradually crept back in—students shifting, whispers resuming—but for Lupin, time had slowed. Her mind was caught between the past and the present, between duty and longing.
As she took a step back from the podium, her eyes lingered on the boy a moment longer, then she turned to face her new students. Her voice, calm but tinged with a hint of vulnerability, rang out: "Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. I look forward to teaching you all."
But inside, she carried the weight of the memories that would never truly fade, forever linked to that boy at the Slytherin table who looked just like Sirius Black.

The ten first-year Slytherin students walked through the entrance of their common room, the heavy wooden door sliding open with a soft creak. Sam with the other students were led by a hot boy called something Black, gazing around the room with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The warm, golden light of the candles within spilled out into the corridor, drawing the eye of the passersby, they were heading to the cold dark dungeons
As they stepped into the common room, the group was immediately struck by its The Slytherin common room was a long, low underground room with rough stone walls and ceiling, from which round, greenish lamps were hanging on chains. A fire was crackling under an elaborately carved mantelpiece ahead of them, and several Slytherins were silhouetted around it in carved chairs.
The hot boy with the curly hair , perched on the throne alike chair, watched the newcomers with a disinterested gaze. "Greetings, newcomers" he said in an authoritative tone "I, Antares Lynx Black, the king of the Slytherin house" he said with pride as he sat back on the throne and gestured for the blonde seventh year girl next to him "miss Mariana Dana Avery, is the queen who is also the Slytherin" he gestured at the blond boy who held his chin up with a smugly face ". The Slytherin prince is heir Draco Abraxes Malfoy. The princess of Slytherin is miss Hydra Venus Black" he gestured at the girl with the piercing green eyes and goddess like beauty like him she had long black curly hair and apparently they're related they both had the same last name so was the boy who led the students there
his gaze sweeping over the first-year students gathered before him. His gaze landed on Sam for a moment then moved
"You have been sorted into the house of the great serpent for a reason. You have the cunning and ambition to achieve greatness. But let me warn you now, we are not a house for the weak or the faint of heart.Our house values secrecy, power, and determination. We are known for producing some of the most powerful and cunning wizards and witches in history. You must not only uphold the reputation of Slytherin, but you must strive to surpass it."
....
.......
.......
Later that night, an owl landed on Antares' bed with a note, he was asleep and didn't feel it. It began tapping on his face, he groaned and opened his eyes "what?!" He yawned
The owl put the note in his mouth he gagged and slapped her off she flew above him, he spat the note out "what the hell is wrong with you?" He whisper yelled he took his wand and casted the lightening charm it was a note from a professor with an unfamiliar handwriting but the professor wanted him now in the defence against the dark arts classroom
He sighed and rubbed his face in his hands trying to understand the statement, he put on his robes on his silk pajama and went there. He knocked on the door and waited. The door opened slightly, and Professor Lupin showed , her expression composed but carrying an air of authority she was determined to maintain.
"Good that you came" she began, voice firm but warm with a hint of urgency, "may I have a moment of your time?"
He looked up cautiously, nodding. "Sure, Professor." He walked in "I apologize for earlier" he said in a forced tone
She closed the door behind her and stepped closer, her tone shifting into a more commanding manner, attempting professionalism. "It is alright, I've been observing you at the Slytherin table. I need to understand—who are you? Tell me your name."
He kept his answers minimal, leaning back slightly. "Just a Slytherin."
Lupin pressed on, trying to sound more authoritative. "I need specifics. Your background. Why are you here? What's your purpose at Hogwarts?"
He shrugged, avoiding eye contact. "Not much to say."
She inhaled sharply, attempting to regain composure. "Listen, I'm asking you—who are you really? There's something about you that I—"
He interrupted quietly, almost dismissively. "Doesn't matter."
She blinked, momentarily thrown off by his bluntness. Her voice faltered slightly, her tone becoming less confident. "I... I need to know if you're connected to anything... dangerous. Or anyone."
He looked at her with a cool, guarded expression. "No one dangerous. Just a student."
Lupin hesitated, trying to sound more commanding but clearly struggling to keep her professionalism. "You're hiding something. I can tell. If you have any information—"
He cut her off again, more firmly this time. "I don't."
She took a breath, her brow furrowing as she tried to assert authority but failed to fully mask her uncertainty. "Very well," she said, voice a little shaky, "but if you think of telling me anything at all—you know where to find me. You are dismissed"
With a quick nod, he turned and left the room, his footsteps still tired . She watched him go, a faint smirk playing on her lips, as her attempt at commanding authority faltered in the face of his guarded silence.

Chapter Text
Sam walked around the dorm, it was cold and dark yet everyone seemed to chat or go in circles, she looked and saw her name craved on the door
S Smith
The dorm doors opened suddenly and some gasps were heard. She took a step back with a look of confusion and startle. She finally took the first step inside and it was magnificent
Five four poster beds with green curtains. The walls were green and there were two main dressers with silver craving on the elegant wood. She found four trunks put in front of beds, as four girls were either unpacking or getting ready for bed, her trunk was aside, she took the handle then spoke with her popular girl accent that she used to use back in New York "hi girls, I'm Samantha Smith, aka Sam. I'm the new student"
The girls pause and looked at her. "A new student? You're the one who got sorted after the first years?" A girl with blonde hair asked, her hand midair with the brush
"Yeah, that's me "
One of the girls nodded then pointed at the only bed without a trunk "you can take that one"
"Cool" she dragged her trunk put it in front of bed and began unpacking. "So where is the closest?"
"We don't have closets , just put your essentials in your nightstand and the rest remains in your trunk"
"What?"
They ignored her and continued with whatever they were doing. Her mouth hang in offence. No one ever ignored queen bee. Maybe the boarding school wasn't as glorious as she expected.

Remus poured Wolfsbane potion into her fire whisky glass. She took it all at once, the burning sensation run down her chest adding to the already hard pain, she opened a small bottle of dreamless sleep potion took off the cover and drank it all. Throwing herself in bed, covering her body and up to head with three heavy blanket, suffocating herself
.,...

RING! RING! RING!
The alarm clock on the wall of Slytherin sixth Year Girls' dormitory let out a loud, shrill ring, echoing through the room as the sun peeked through the windows. The girls, still groggy from their first night of the new year at Hogwarts, slowly came to life.
Sam, was one of the first to stir, throwing off the covers and swinging her legs over the side of her bunk. "Ugh, what time is it?" she groggily asked, rubbing her eyes.
A girl rubbed her eyes and removed a bit of her curtains to peek "it's five and half" she said in her sleepy voice
"WHAT?! Five thirty ?! Are you insane!!?" Sam snapped "why do we have to get up now?!"
"What is wrong with you?" Another girl snapped "this is the first alarm, you don't want it go back to sleep then wake up of the other alarm!"
"So that's not the only alarm? We don't have to be up now?" She asked her eyes had a flicker of hope
"NO!" She turned giving her back to Sam
Sam groaned and got back in bed throwing the covers over her head

The Great Hall was a large hall with four long tables where some students of each House were sitting and having breakfast . The staff table was at the front, where the entire Hogwarts staff sat. There was a throne-like chair in the centre of the table where the headmaster Dumbledore sat. it was enchanted to look like the sky above which was sunny and in a nice weather. To the left of the table was a door which led to a chamber with portraits. From the staff table, the House tables were as follows Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin.
Sam stood in the entrance confident yet displeased , why were they all in uniforms? why weren't there anyone breaking the code, she took a step back then turned and walked to the nearest girl bathroom, she loosened her tie, unbuttoned the first two buttons and pulled out a mascara from her backpack and applied it, then a soft pink blush and lastly a pink lipstick because red is too much for a school day. She did there so those snitches in her dorm would not try to steal her makeup or used it as a community property
She walked into the great hall with her chin up, her blue eyes scanning the hall, why the hell there were only four long tables instead of small exclusive ones, how would she know where to sit? There! She found the one of the two hot boys she met last night sitting on the table near the wall, she strutted there and sat in front of him "morning, guys" she said
He straightened his seating as he was buttering a piece of bread "good morning" he said quietly yet his voice had a hint of arrogance and confidence
"Sorry, I didn't catch your name last night"
"Antares Lynx Black" he said proud and took a sip of his tea
"Antares? Such an unusual name, is it Italian or something ?" She took a piece of toast and put it in her plate acting nonchalantly
"It's Greek, means the rival of Ares, the god of war in the Greek mythology"
"So you're the enemy" she said more interested now, he simply nodded and took a bite of his bread "why'd your parents choose such a name?"
"It's a family tradition to be named after stars" he took another bite
She chuckled and waved her hand dismissively "oh you're so funny" but the blank expression on his face said otherwise, her laughter died "you weren't kidding ?"
"No" he simply said
"Oh.. I thought you British have grandpa names, like William and Matthew" she tried to back track laughing awkwardly
"We are not muggles" he said clearly offended
"Muggles?"
"No-mags"
"Oh" she nodded
On the teachers' table, Remus walked and sat at the end, feeling her heart heavy, she began regretting accepting this teaching position already. She looked down at her plate then at her watch, it was still seven thirty, probably Sirius was still in bed, he had always been late to breakfast , she poured food into her plate, she looked at the slytherin table... he was up already?
Since when did he get up early? Her heartbeat got faster and harder, every few moments her eyes would dart to him.*easy, easy, easy, maybe it's just because it's the first day of the year, easy, you're not a teen anymore* she thought to herself
"Are you nervous, dear?" A soft voice cut through her thoughts, she flinched and turned, it was professor Sprout the Herbology teacher. Remus smiled and shook her head but Sprout only smiled softly "oh dear, it is alright to feel nervous when starting a new chapter in life, oh I remember how shaky I was on my first day forty years ago, but see now how I'm comfortable, you will be too and before you know it, hogwarts will be a part of your life"
Slowly the hall was filled with all students. As the clatter of plates and chatter of excited students filled the Great Hall, an unmistakable calm washed over the room. The four house tables were overflowing with food, the old friends chatting and catching up after the summer without seeing each other and the warm glow of the candlelit ceiling flickered above them, replicating the blue autumn sky outside.
The noise gradually faded, however, as Professor Dumbledore rose from the staff table at the front of the hall. With his long silver beard flowing like a river of light and his half-moon spectacles glinting, he smiled warmly at the students.
"Welcome," he began, his voice echoing with a gentle authority that commanded attention, "to another exciting year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
A ripple of applause and cheers erupted from the returning students, and Dumbledore beamed, allowing the sound to wash over him before raising his hands for silence.
"Today marks not only the beginning of your education at hogwarts but also the start of new adventures, friendships" He glanced around, his eyes twinkling.
With a flourish of his wand, a fluttering array of parchment pages materialized in the air above the tables. Timetables, printed in elegant flowing script, danced around the Great Hall, weaving past the tables and into the hands of eagerly outstretched arms.
"Ah, Your timetables, Each page contains the classes you'll be attending, the wonderful professors you'll meet". Dumbledore called out, his eyes scanning the first-years who were trying to catch the flying papers.
As the pages floated about, some students laughed and called out as they reached for them, while others watched in awe as they zipped past. Each student tried to catch a paper but some continued to other students. The timetables finally settled silently upon the tables, where students hurriedly took a look at their schedules.
Antares snatched his and began reading it

"Thanks, Ants" she turned to the girl next to her "let's go"
"Professor Lupin, this is your schedule" McGonagall said handing her a sheet. With shaky hands, Remus took it

Remus stood in classroom thirty one , she wore a brown dress that covered all her body along with the only set of robes she had, she began organizing the stuff, pushing the black board to the middle, making two sides of rows of desks, she stood in front of the door and began taking deep breathes, she could do this , she could do this. Sirius was not in her timetable to distract her *you can do this, you can this! You have to do this!* she thought
She opened the door and face the third year students, she plasted a big grin"welcome to Defense against the dark arts class! Please come in" she stepped aside to let them in
"Muddy brown dress" the green eyes girl mumbled incredulously as she walked in
"Look at the patches on her robe" the other girl who was tab with brown eyes and soft hair mumbled and they both giggled
Hermione heard them and shook her head sitting on a desk "what is it?" Ron asked sitting next to her
"The year hasn't even started yet, but Black and Lestrange already started" she said looking at the girls angrily
Remus stood in front of the students after they all sat , her smile still on "Hello everyone, and welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. My name is Lupin, and I'll be your teacher for this course. I must say, I'm very excited to be teaching at Hogwarts, and I hope that you are just as eager to learn. Defense Against the Dark Arts is an extremely important subject, and we will be covering a variety of topics and skills that will be useful in the fight against the dark arts. I expect you all to be attentive and to participate actively in class. Do you have any questions?" The green eyes rose her hand "yes, miss..?"
"Black" she said proudly then lowered her hand "what exactly is your qualifications to be our new Defense against the dark arts teacher?" Remus' eyes widened and for a moment and no words came out of her mouth then
"What kind of question is this, Black?" Hermione said in her usual bossy angry tone.
"A sensible one" she flatly said
"Professor Lupin is our teacher!"
"I'm not saying she's not, I only want to know what made her one"
"I had six O's in my NEWTs and eight Os in my OWLs, also I have been learning about DADA for years" Remus finally manged to find her voice "now why don't we start with your introduction and a bit of a background of who you and your parents are" she said and point at the green eyes girl again
She stood up, looking directly at Remus, her eyes were emerald green like her house crest, her hair was dark and curly, half up with a green ribbon from behind, her skin was porcelain and her cheeks and lips were pink, the girl looked oddly familiar to Remus as if they've met but could not remember when now where
"I, Hydra Venus Black, of the most ancient and noble house of Black. daughter of heir Sirius Orion Black the third, he is also the head of Azkaban Prison, my mother is the honorable heiress Juliet Charlotte Black nee Potter, the famous potion mistress" the girl's confident voice echoed through the classroom
Remus felt the ground beneath her feet disappearing, this girl was Sirius' daughter, the thought she looked familiar but not this familiar but the girl did not stop talking
"I am an aristocrat pure blood witch, the princess of Slytherin, and the seeker of the Slytherin quidditch team"
Remus finally nodded then "thank you, Hydra. Who's next?" As the time passed many were introduced, the tan girl girl next to Hydra was Laura Lestrange, the blonde slytherin girl was Daphne Greengrass, the dark hair girl with a big face was Pansy Parkinson, the arrogant blond boy was Malfoy , the dark haired pale skinned boy was lestrange, and the list continued with the others until a gryffindor boy with nice body but baby fat face stood
"Heir Neville Franklin Longbottom, of the most ancient and noble house of Longbottom, my father lord Franklin Harfang Longbottom, the head of department of magical law at the ministry of magic and my mother the most honorable lady Alice Isabella Longbottom née Fortescue, the head auror of southern Britain auror station"
As if having the monster Potter's daughter was not enough for Remus now having the son of that troll Alice. This would be a great year indeed

Antares sat during the study sessions, flipping through one of his new book, Hydra sat in front of him, he looked up and smile "hey, Hades, how's today?" He poured a cup of milk tea with honey and pushed it to her "here, I kept it for you with theses" he placed a snack on the table
"Thanks! It was good" she nodded putting her stuff on the desk "but the new DADA teacher is a joke" she shook her head, as her feet touched the carpet floor
"Really?" He crossed his arms on the table with growing interest "how so?"
"First she was wearing this ugly brown dress, not like cocoa brown but muddy brown, it was disgusting to look at in the morning, it has no shape, the bodice was so lame, the robes was a nightmare, it was sandy brown with many patches like green, red , blue and with stupid muggle patterns, for Merlin's sake she's a professor at hogwarts not a begger , our house elves dress better than her"
"Aww... poor miss fashionable Hydra, scared of bad dressed professor" he said in a fake concerned tone
"Not just that" she took a sip
"Then what?"
"She was so skinny, and flat, her bun was too tight then she loosened it too much and I can tell her hair is already thinning and greying" she put the cup down
"What else, miss analyst?" He rests his face on his hand
"She had ugly scars, not a warrior scar but a claw scar"
He lift up his head and furrowed his eyebrows "she has what now?"
"A scar made by a claw" she repeated slower
"How did you know it was made by a claw not anything else?"
"Remember when Canis fought a troll for fun?"
He let out a snort "yeah?"
"All his wounds were one sided, the direction of the troll's claw, hers are similar" she took a bit chewing while looking down then swallowed "and don't get me started with her callings"
"What callings?" He took a bite of his own snack
"She made us introduce ourselves and when I introduced myself, it was as if she's seen a boggart then she called us all by our first names even though we corrected her"
"What?!" His eyes widened in surprise
"Yes when I said who I am, her already pale face paled more, hers eyes widened as I transformed into a monster"
After a moment silence shock he finally asked "What did she do before coming?"
"Nothing!" She snapped
"Nothing?"
"Yes, nothing, she said she has some OWLs and NEWTs and that hairy mudblood defended her"
Antares laughed heartily making everyone there turned to him, "silence, Black" the cold voice of professor Snape slid through the laugh
"I apologize professor" he tried to surpass his laughter until Snape went to other students, he then turned to her "if a couple of OWLs and NEWTs are all needed, why don't Canis apply for the job?" Hydra laughed more this time with him, her shoulders shaking
