Remus Lupin

Well.

I suppose my fears seem quite foolish when they're looked at that way. Well, I know my thinking has certainly been muddled.

I didn't suppose I was going to a werewolf enclave, of course. But I didn't really know what was going to happen to me. Everything is so up in the air, all the old laws being thrown out, you see. The fact that I was bit was not a secret about me, either. Lavender has said she knows she owes me a life debt, but I think Mrs Brown wasn't particularly keen at the idea of having someone staying with them might happen to be a werewolf.

Picking up my quill again: I just spoke with Mrs Weasley, who stopped by to see how I was doing. I was a bit teary after reading what you wrote above, and she asked me about it. She was quite shocked, and she said, 'But of course you're not going back to the Browns! Your home is back with us at the Burrow, isn't it?' It was such a lovely feeling: I thought 'well, of course it is'--but I hadn't quite realised it, and no one had said anything.

I suppose it takes an effort to uproot old ways of thinking. I have a real home, and I'm not going to be rejected, I'm not.

It just takes a little while to get used to it.

I imagine a lot of the students have fears about what is going to happen to them.
