A/n-This is my first time writing a fanfiction so I apologies in advance for any errors. I would love to get some reviews and critics on my work to make me a better author. Please comment and let me know what you think of my story so far and if you would like me to improve something. 

PS: I'll update as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------

Remus Lupin entered the private parlor at leaky cauldron on a sunny summer evening. He had received a letter with the Hogwarts crest this morning addressed to him by Albus Dumbledore asking to meet him. Remus had not been so keen on coming to meet him but after all the professor had done for him, the least he could do was to show up. Five minutes later Albus Dumbledore came in and sat on the chair opposite to him.

"Good evening professor."

"Oh Remus call me Albus."

"Of course Albus, what can I do for you?"

"Remus I want to offer you the position of defense against dark arts professor in Hogwarts."

This was not at all what Remus had expected. In fact, he had been sure that this meeting had something to do with his former mate Sirus black breaking out of the most top security prison in the world.

"You cannot make this offer to me slightly Albus what will the parents think of someone of my condition teaching their kids?"

"No one has to know Remus. If you could handle it as an eleven year old boy then I'm sure you can handle it as a grown man with access to wolfsbane."

"You're willing to give me wolfsbane?"

"I'm sure professor Snape wouldn't mind brewing it for you every month."

"But what if I'm a bad teacher?"

"Don't worry about that Remus. We had Glidory Lockhart for defense against dark arts last year. I'm sure you'll do great. None of the other marauders would have passed school if you hadn't been tutoring them."

The memory of his old school friends brought a small smile to Remus's face.

"You know you need the job Remus and with Sirius black on the run nobody is safe anymore especially you and harry. Don't you think you owe it to James to protect him?"

When Dumbledore puts it across like that, there is no way Remus can deny him. He knows that he would do anything for James and lily's son. He was probably endangering harry more by being in Hogwarts so that Sirius can kill them both at the same time and finish what he had started all those years ago. Finish destroying Remus's family.

But if Harry potter was what Sirius was after, Remus would try his best to keep him safe even though he knew that he would never be able to raise his wand against Sirius in a duel. Also, he had been kicked out from his last job tree weeks ago and did not have any money left. A position in Hogwarts meant that he dint have to worry about any of that and just do what he loved.

"I'll do it."

"Then I will see you on September first. Good day professor Lupin." said Dumbledore as he put his hat on and moved towards the fireplace.

"Good day professor Dumbledore."

And with a flash of green Albus Dumbledore vanished into the floo.

As Remus lay on his bed that night, he couldn't help but smile at the way his evening had gone. He closed his eyes knowing exactly what he was going to dream about, those mysterious chocolate brown eyes that he always dreamt about and maybe he would even dream a bit about Sirius and the marauders. But despite his dreams, he fell into the best sleep he had had in months. Tomorrow, he had lesson plans to prepare.
