Fenrir remembers many things. He remembers a tiny child, carefully dressed, picking his way across a freshly mowed lawn. He remembers the surge of disgust in him at the sight. The salacious need to bite and destroy that cleanliness.

A werewolf is the filthiest of creatures.

But after the bite, Lupin was unstained, immaculate, a puritan treasuring books and order.

The lust to annihilate remained in Fenrir. Another grew.

Now Fenrir finds Lupin alone, a boy of twelve, sleeping in the shack after a full moon. He reaches, fingers bent like claws. His hands shake. His heart stops. Remus wakes.
