AN: A short one this time, but I think it gets the point across. As for the timeline, Harry is a curious little bugger whose previous teachers have tried to kill him. Do we really believe he wouldn't investigate Lupin and find out about his 'condition'??
Rule 8: My homework was NOT eaten by a werewolf. Especially when my teacher is Professor Lupin.
Do Werewolves Eat Homework?
Harry whimpered silently as he entered the Defense classroom. This could not be happening. He worked so hard on this essay (four feet of parchment), and it was all going to be for nothing.
"Good morning, class," Professor Lupin smiled wearily from the front of the room.
"Good morning, Professor Lupin," the class chorused cheerfully. Lupin was their favorite DADA teacher after all, the best they'd had yet.
"I'm sorry I was ill for your last class, but I'm very glad to see all of you so eager to continue not that I'm back. You had a few extra days to complete the assignment I gave you, so I hope you all have it completed?" His voice lilted questioningly as he raised an eyebrow. "Ms. Patil, if you could go around and collect them?"
Panic swirled in Harry's chest as Parvati stop at their table and collected Ron and Hermione's work. She gave a huff when shook his head, swirling her braids behind her as she moved to the next table.
"Stay after class, Harry," Lupin commanded quietly. Harry was grateful that the man didn't draw anymore attention to him. "Now, open your books to page 256. Today we'll focus on Fwoopers."
Harry's panic had him squirming in his seat all through the tales of people driven mad when the Silencing Charm on their pet Fwoopers failed or were accidentally removed.

The class cleared out quickly, Ron sending him sympathetic looks while Hermione hissed at him the whole way out the door.
Lupin was never going to believe him. The man was going to think he was taking the piss with him, maybe even making fun of him in a malicious sort of way.
Professor Lupin dragged his chair around his desk and settled into the seat facing Harry with a sigh. There was such disappointment contained in that sigh that it made Harry cringe. "Want to tell me why you didn't hand in your homework, Harry? I know you would have had no trouble with the essay."
Harry shifted in his seat, unable to meet Lupin's eyes. "See, the thing is, I was revising it yesterday out by the lake with Ron and Hermione, making sure I didn't miss anything important. Except, Hagrid called us over and I left my bag with my DADA book and my homework lying on top. It was getting dark by the time we were done talking to Hagrid and he sent us inside. I forgot to grab it on the way back," Harry tried to justify.
This got him a raised eyebrow as Lupin's eyes flicked to his bag lying at his feet. "Your bag seems perfectly safe and there was no rain last night to ruin your assignment."
"Yeah, I kind of wish there had been."
"Oh, and why is that?"
Harry took a deep breath and blurted it out. "A werewolf ate my homework." The green eyed boy hated how Lupin's eyes dimmed and his face grew cold.
"That's not funny, Harry."
"I know it's not," Harry cried, "but it's true." He grabbed his bag from the floor, upending the contents onto his desk. A moment of digging through the mess of books, parchment, and quills brought a book to the top.
Harry tossed the book to Lupin whose eyes widened at the ripped and tattered state of the thing.
"You ate my homework and used my Defense book as a chew toy!"
