** A.N Just a little thing that popped into my mind, about Remus Lupin's Christmas after his friends work out his lycanthropy**

"They know!" Sobbed Remus, cuddling into his mothers chest letting the tears escape his eyes and leave a trail down the scar-filled face. She held him tighter whispering comforting words

"Shush baby, it'll be alright. We'll just have to speak to Dumbledore, maybe he'll let me home school you from now on" at this Remus howled; all of the preparation for his and the schools safety for less than two years use.

"They were my only friends!"

"I know baby! I know" she smoothed his fair hair over and over, trying to calm him down. She looked around the shabby room and spotted an eagle owl just outside the window "Remus, isn't that James' owl?" he looked up, over the protective arm of his mother and stared for in fact, it was his owl. He slowly opened the window and allowed the owl to hop in and present his leg, upon which were a squashy feeling parcel and a letter written in James' scrawling handwriting. He opened the letter first and began to read:

Remus

How dare you run off like that? We were worried sick! You really think you'd scare us off? You're stuck with us for life, whether you like it or not. Life would be boring anyway if everything was normal! It's still you Remus; you've just got a furry little problem! Get us, still being funny over a letter! Mail us back straight away so we know you're alright.

James, Sirius and Peter (Your best friends)

P.S Enjoy your present

Remus looked up stunned, and began to unwrap the parcel. He smiled when he saw what it was; a cuddly wolf toy.

**A.N There we go, something to pass the time whilst I'm working on some new stuff**
