Lucius wasn’t mad. No, anger did not help one in their pursuits, causing instead more problems. His pride had been insulted and he had been humiliated. Malfoys did not get humiliated. He hated it, and hated that the younger Gryffindor had shown up and kept him away from the female. He knew it was the Black boy, the one who everyone expected to join Slytherin but ended up in the complete opposite house, a blood traitor. As a younger student Lucius wouldn’t bother with him but he was curious about that girl. He was sure he had never seen her around. Lucius wanted to know who she was, and Malfoys were rarely denied their desires. Lucius was on a mission.
Later as he sat in the dungeon common room attempting to look over his Transfiguration paper, his focus was broken by a group of fourth years. He got up prepared to tell them to quit when he stopped. He didn’t know any of them however one bore a striking resemblance to Black. “You there, what is your name?"
Frightened at being addressed by upperclassmen the child mumbled something under his breath.
“What did you say? Speak up. One does not mumble when asked a question. ”
“Regulus, Regulus Black.” He said, looking anywhere but at the upperclassman’s face.
“Come with me Black, you may have some information I require” Turning he, made his way towards the dorm at a brisk pace, stopping once inside his room. “Your brother is in Gryffindor?"
“Sirius, Yes”
“Is he dating anyone”
The boy laughed causing Lucius to glare at him. He stopped immediately and elaborated .“My brother doesn’t date; his…attention span is short. ”
“Indeed. Tell me; are you close to your brother?”
“Not particularly. But we talk and such. ”
“Good” Lucius was glad at his luck. “I have a job for you, one that will benefit both of us as long as you succeed and keep quiet. I am a private man and would hate if anything happened due to…loose tongues. ” He gently stroked his wand to get the threat across, knowing the boy would do as he wished and keep quiet, whether out of fear or greed, he could hardly care less.

“Hey, Sirius,” The Gryffindor looked up to see his brother coming towards him; he wasn’t running exactly but it was close enough.
“What Reg? I don’t have any time. ” He sighed in exasperation as his little brother fell into step with him and James.
“I was just curious Sirus, about that new girl you were seen with. Everyone’s talking about her but no one knows who she is. ”
“And that’s how I want to keep it. Why do you want to know? Last time I checked you were years younger and a loser. Girls like that wouldn’t be caught dead with you. Or any Slytherin really. ” And with that, Sirius left, oblivious to the whispered insult of wanker and a wall being kicked in anger.
“I don’t get it pads. You’re the one who comes up with the most outrageous ideas, some bordering on stupidity, and I’m not complaining because I enjoy it but why are you being so... cautious. We’ve done worse things, some of which would mean expulsion if caught. And we know Moony can take care of himself so why not?” James asked. He stared at the other boy in confusion.
“It’s just that this time things are different. With Remus being a girl he...he might get hurt.” James was right about Sirius lapse of behavior but Remus had asked him to keep the incident quiet so none of their friends knew what occurred on the way to the infirmary. “Besides he’ll be back in class tomorrow and everyone will know what happened. ” Remus had been excused from classes so Poppy could do some tests and they hadn’t seen him since the morning as they rushed out.
“Hmm you’re right. News like this will travel fast. ” James stared at a portrait in deep thought, not noticing as the wizard in the picture picked his nose. “Still we only have one double class tomorrow so we have most of the day and possibly until the next morning if we play it right. ”
“I don’t know James. I really think this is a bad idea. Besides Remus would have to go along with it and you know he doesn’t like taking a big part in our pranks. ”
“Yeah but I think if you asked him he might. If any of us can convince Moony it would be you. ” Sirius had never realized that before, but now as he thought back James was right. Whenever they were doing something that Remus thought was too risky or stupid, Sirius was always the one who convinces him to relax and go along with the plan. I wonder why? He thought idly, as he agreed .
Remus was sitting quietly on his bed talking to Peter as they walked in. “Hey what’s going on?” James asked noticing that Moony’s area was empty and his trunk absent. He and Sirius moved onto the already occupied bed after casting a quick silencing charm and lock on the door.
“Well Pomphrey wanted to do a few more tests; make sure I’m healthy and such. What she’s really worried about is how it may affect my change and-” He broke off as James cursed and they all avoided looking at him. ” Listen it’s alright. I know you’re sorry and it was an accident. She’s probably just overreacting and the change will be normal. And you guys will be there if something goes wrong. Anyways, seeing as now I’m not a boy, and cannot be put with the girls, Dumbledore has given me rooms of my own to live in for the next little while. He must think one of you will molest me in my sleep if I stay here and I’ll molest a girl if I’m put with them. ” He laughed Knowing both scenarios were as unlikely as Snivillus wearing pink.

“Your perfectly fine Lupin there’s no reason for you not to go to class. ” Madam Pompfrey said, putting away her tools.
“But anything could happen. I might start my period and get cramps. Or menopause: I hear girls get that. What if some guy hits on me? I might get raped or pregnant. It’s dangerous out there. ” Remus protested, trying and failing to sway the medi-witch to his side.
“Don’t be silly, you’re overreacting. And you can’t get pregnant. Now I suggest you hurry off to eat before classes and don’t try skipping. You’ll be fine”
Remus wasn’t so sure but he knew a lost cause when he saw one. Slouched over he dragged his feet out the door, imagining a hundred different scenarios, each worst then the one before as he joined James.
“Don’t worry we got your back”
“I know James but you can’t be with me all the time. And I have arithmancy by myself later. What If I’m attacked?”he sighed. “You may be a female Remus, but thanks to your furry problem and smarts, I doubt there’s anyone in school who could do you much harm” Their conversation stopped abruptly as they reached DADA.
As he walked into class the noise ceased. All eyes were on Remus as he slid into a seat at the back. Moving his books he arranged them all in front, blocking himself from view, the pitiful defense making him feel safe. It helped that Sirius sat beside him and James and Peter in front. He was successfully away from the rest of the class. As professor Labor strolled in, he stopped at the sight of Remus, collecting himself with a small shake he continued to the front to begin their lesson. “Today we will be learning about werewolves. Please open to the chapter in your books. ”
Remus didn’t bother paying attention to Labor’s voice as he droned on about the characteristics of a werewolf. Leaning forward onto his desk in order to further hide, he let out a small sigh. Sirius must have heard him, because a moment later, a piece of parchment slid across the table. It was a scribble of a dog and wolf wrestling on the ground. The dog had a goofy grin on his face as he darted away from the wolf’s paws and shook its rear. He chuckled as the wolf knocked the dog over and their fight began again. But his fear popped back as his thoughts drifted towards the approaching moon and wondered how it would effect his change. He had only ever met one other werewolf before and that one had been a male too. In fact he had never heard of female ones. Curious he raised his hand.
“Yes ms-Mr. Lupin?” gasps and whispers circulated the class but he tried his hardest to ignore them.
“Sir, I was curious. Whenever we think of werewolves we think of men. Are there any females?”
“Ah. Good question, five points to Gryffindor.” Mr. Labor said, looking over the class at Lupin “We typically think of werewolves as male. Female wolves are a lot less common but they do exist, though most who received the bite do not make it through the first year. In Medieval times it was common belief that this was because of a female’s fragile composition, whether or not that is true, and I like to believe it is not, there are a few that do survive. Their changes and behaviour are exactly the same but unlike the male they are incapable of reproduction. There have been a couple reported cases throughout the centuries where pregnancies have occurred but they all result in miscarriages the child is always killed early on due to the mother’s shifting. Males on the other hand not only have children but prove to be more fertile, de to an increase of testosterone during the shift. ”
He turned his attention to the rest of the class, looking troubled as he moved on in the lesson. “Generally the lycanthrope communities prefer to keep themselves apart from us, finding it easier to live in the wilderness or muggle areas. Because of this we don’t know everything, though in recent years there have been more studies and new information discovered. Wolves are very territorial and usually keep any females close in safety. ”
“Majority of the population treat them with fear and disgust. Many in turn have come to hate wizards due to discrimination and oppression. Some of you may have heard of the group known as the ‘Loup Garou’. The group is rumored to be working for Voldemort and are infecting their victims to create a bigger army. ” Labor sighed, It was a common known fact that the were population was on the rise and most willingly joining Voldemort’s ranks.
Remus was sheltered at the school but he could just imagine how he would be viewed if his secret ever got out. Just the fact that his friends willingly accepted him was a miracle. Feeling slightly better, Remus wanted to know if being under a spell could cause any problems. However asking could give away his secret so he decided to research and ask Madame Pompfrey later on.
As class finished, Remus bolted out, eager to avoid unwanted questions from others. He wasn’t completely sure how people would react so he decided to put it off until he could speak to his house and dorm mates first. Unfortunately, despite the two short cuts he took and a back staircase, he still managed to be seen by other people. When he got to the Potions room in the dungeon he found his way blocked by none other than the greasy git Snape along with fellow Slytherins Avery and Mulciber.
