Personality

Remus Lupin can best be described as pragmatic. Always one to think out his actions and their consequences before making a decision, he was what one might call the voice of reason in the former Marauders group. Though, truth be told, he had quite a penchant for mischief in that he did very little to toe the line when it came to James Potter and Sirius Black. To them, he had a very devout sense of loyalty and respect, faltering for Black only once when he suspected him of betraying the very person who brought them all together.

The deaths of his two dear friends have left a forlorn alone to navigate through the world. More depressed than he lets on, he silently mourns and at times wonders why he was spared, allowed to live when his friends could not. His only solace he has found through love, though he does not entirely trust it. All good things, as he has learned, fade into non-being, and he cannot help but anticipate any disaster that may come of allowing himself to be happy.

Detailed History

Life did not start out bright for young Remus Lupin. At an early age, he was attacked and bitten by werewolf Fenrir Grayback and as a result was infected and cursed with Lycanthropy- rendering him in every sense of the word, a werewolf. This fact alone could have prevented him from attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and had it not been for the insistence of Albus Dumbledore who had implemented special measures (such as the Whomping Willow and the Shrieking Shack) he never would have been invited. Despite the tragedy of his early childhood years, Remus' years at Hogwarts were, no doubt, the silver lining in the storm clouds. He met and befriended three fellow Gryffindors: James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. For seven years, the group who affectionately dubbed themselves the marauders wreaked havoc and mischief upon the school.

It wouldn't be long before the three of them, or two of them (James and Sirius being more brilliant than Peter) put two and two together to figure out that Remus was a werewolf. Instead of ostracizing him as he had originally feared, they all worked on and succeeded in becoming unregistered animagus. After graduating from Hogwarts with a specialization in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Lupin would find that the world was not as kind about his ailment as his best friends had been. His only option, and one he took gladly, was to join the Order of the Phoenix.

Tragedy reared its head once again. On a Halloween night, he learned about the betrayal and death of his best friend James Potter and his wife, Lily. The son had survived and it was suspected that Sirius Black had been the one to betray him and when Peter Pettigrew went to confront him about it, Sirius responded by killing him. It made sense to Lupin as Sirius had been the secret keeper. For years, Remus held a bitter resentment for his former friend. It was not until he was hired as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher during Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts that the truth came out. James had switched secret keepers to Peter and Peter framed Sirius for everything going so far as faking his own death. Sirius escaped from Azkaban and the two friends reunited. The second war had begun.

Once again out of a job, Remus put his time and efforts into the newly revived Order of the Phoenix. Yet, it seemed after everything that Sirius had been through, fate just hadn't deemed life to be kind to his dear friend. Remus witnessed Bellatrix Lestrange kill his friend leaving Remus as the last faithful marauder. In his mourning he found solace and comfort in Nymphadora Tonks, Sirius' second cousin. Yet, he constantly tried to deny the feelings he had for her. He was too old for her. It wasn't the time. He was poor. Couldn't support her. All excuses to keep her away. She was having none of it. They eventually married and had a son, but even so, Remus still has his doubts about how long this happiness will last and this has effected how he has acted throughout the marriage.

Y O U R DARK S I D E

Remus walked through the currently empty Grimmauld Place, his hand gently sliding over the dusty wooden banister. Despite Molly's attempts to fashion their impromptu headquarters into a place she thought was suitably clean, Grimmauld was utterly a lost cause. And to think of the waste their work had been. Sirius' death left everything up in the air. The Will left everything to Harry... but the fact remained that it was no longer safe to convene in this place. This place which held so many memories. The place that served as a cage to his best mate. He had hated it so much in his youth and that hatred carried into his adult years. Remembering the resentment of having such a hag for a mother, a loaf for a father... to have gone through so much trouble to escape only to be forced back in his final years. It seemed unfair. How could fate have been so cruel?

He rubbed his fingers together to let the dust fall to the stairs. He knew he'd have to shake out the bottom of his robes when he left. Though he didn't want to leave. That, and there was one last stop. He gingerly touched the door knob of his old room. So strange that they hadn't once gone in since reinstating the Order and naming Grimmauld as the headquarters. He pushed the door open and immediately smiled. Everything Gryffindor and placed with a sticking charm so his hag mother couldn't take them off the walls. Remus walked closer to the bed where nearby a picture of the four of them was pinned. He sat and sadly yet fondly looked at his friends as they all clamored to be the center of attention. His eyes fixed on Peter. The traitor. He's the reason why James had died. The reason why Sirius had been stolen for twelve years and had been forced to return here. That rat traitor...

Remus rose when he heard the door downstairs swing open. His hand immediately went to his wand. These days it was better to assume that the sound you heard or the door that opened was directly caused by a foe rather than a friend.
