Prologue

Harry Potter wasn't the only orphan of war

Edward Remus "Teddy" Lupin was used to being different. He knew most kids couldn't hear their friends breathe during hide and seek, or make his legs longer when he could reach cookies on a higher shelf

And, of course, most kids have parents

Having lived a fairly sheltered life with his grandmother, he didn't have much in the way of friends his age. Now he is heading off to Hogwarts, without his best friend Victoire, he finds himself woefully unprepared for the world of friendships, lessons and, in some cases, unfair judgements

Turns out, real life isn't as perfect as his books told him...
