   Summary

   “All in all, the build up to Hogwarts just made Remus feel more and more depressed as each day passed until September 1st. Why couldn’t he just be normal? he thought, lying on his bed one night. He just wanted a normal school experience without having to deal with his stupid body and his stupid lycanthropy. Having to hide so much, and having to transform every single month for the rest of his life. Every. Single. Bloody. Month. As well as going through the wrong damn puberty. It was all wrong. Everything was wrong.

   Remus bit into his pillow. The whole situation, every overwhelming emotion pressing against his chest, just made him want to scream.”

   ~~~

   Remus Lupin has more than one secret, and there’s no way of knowing who he can trust. All he has are his parents, but they can’t protect him when he goes off to Hogwarts.

   But then Remus meets a boy and his two other friends, and soon realises that some secrets can’t be kept forever.

   Canon compliant if you want it to be. Personally, this is more self-indulgent than anything.

   Disclaimer: I am writing this as nothing more than a big, long, over-complicated fuck you to jk rowling.

   Summary

   Regulus is not okay; nor is his boyfriend, Barty but they are dying together and that’s all that matters.
   Sirius is trying his best to help - he won’t accept it but Sirius is not going to watch his brother die.
   ☆☆☆
   This is my first longer type fic and also the first one I’ve planned out in full. This is also very dear to me as a few of the things that happen is based off of my own life.
