Can't believe this is the first time I've checked out this thread or else I would have practically lived in it from the first time I saw it, not quite sure what's going on to be honest but I like the sound of Lupin Week


That's what I'll get it for then

Hello, becky12!

Right now, we are wondering where everyone is.

Mod Edit: You should know by now that one liners/short posts are not allowed. Thanks

Hey I'm here baz! Its just homecoming week so everything's been pretty crazy...oh, and for the DT story, I was more than mortified, especially since I tripped right next to the DT lookalike when I was running out and fell flat on my face. It was HORRIBLE!

Aloha becky12! Welcome to SPELL, home of the Lupin obsessed people!

Yeah just a matter of curiosity, how old is David Thewlis?

Nothing more to say here so...hasta lavista!

<3 Rachel

I have the flu.... *sniff*


I saw him once... in a coffee shop. It was random.

Anyway moving on. It's been a bit dead here recently So I've thought of a question for us.

As an way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age becuase he's a werewolf?

Like I said. I have the flu

Aw Helen, you poor thing. It seems that a lot of peeps I know are falling prey to the dreaded lurgy!

As an way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age becuase he's a werewolf?

You now I think that the changing process would only weaken his muscles, but then his immune system could have been affected by eating raw meat . There are a lot of blood born viruses out there that attack the immune system and those from eating dodgy dinners! Things like Hepatitis C or B from contaminated blood or hepatitis A from food all affect the immune system.
Obviously if he hadn't had fresh meat (blood) in a while, he could be on the aneamic side and that would make him suseptable to the flu...stay away Helen.

Sounds like just my kind of place


44


We don't know how much raw meat he ate, he tried to hide himself being a werewolf so he may not have ate it as much (although he may not be able to control that.. I wouldn't know.. not being a werewolf myself )

Yeerggh! I usually conveniently forget that he'd do that sort of thing as a werewolf. Remember in PoA when Hagrid was worried at the end that Lupin might have taken a nip at his Thestrals, but then he said that Lupin didn't remember eating anything? Like he knew what it was like to remember? Yeerghh again.

personally I believe he'd have a weaker immune system. It's not like being supernaturally ripped apart then subsequently thrown back together into original form is a way to grow big and strong!

Eww, raw meat grossssss...Poor Lupin. Just imagine how hard it would be if he was a vegetarian!

I agree on him having a lower immune system, but not because of the whole "meat has a lot of illnesses thing", although I guess that could be part of it. Because he didn't seem all that sick and "throw up-y" when he was human, so it didn't sound like he had fresh meat. Plus all of the things he ate were MAGICAL, and I doubt they had hepatitis B or C.



Yeah, thats pretty much the same idea I had of why he would have a lower immune system to me. Constantly ripped apart against your own will and put back together wouldn't exactly be the best way to have a high immune system.

By the way, odd question...

Oh, and thanks for the age thing becky12.

<3 Rachel

heya!!!
i am another lupin obsessed freak and I thought I'd join my fellow nutheads

soooo...lupin...duh I fell in love with him eversince I read the first few lines concerning him in POA...I was like...
i seriously am obsessed and was even jealous of tonks for a while...(totally mad haha)

but what disappoints me is the actor who plays him in the movie..he doesnt look the way I had imagined him...

Heya, After the Burial nudge me this way since I love Lupin! So, Hi! I'm pretty new here so... still having problems to find back to topics lol.

=)

Welcome new lupinites! Welcome to your new home

Just another reminder about LuponWeek that starts on Thursday November 1st! Keep your ideas coming to me visa Owl

Well, I guess I'd better answer my own question eh?

As an way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age becuase he's a werewolf?

Outwith the full moon... week I guess. I reckon that he would have a higher immune system actually contary to your thoughts . He's not human really, and I don't think he would be that suseptable to illnesses such as the flu etc, because they attack human's not werewolves. If that makes sense...

Right... back to making puppyshipper icons

As an way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age becuase he's a werewolf?

Didn't we get a hint of this in PoA? Lupin said something about needed time around the holidays to rest, instead of teaching Harry about patronuses. Wouldn't that indicate that transforming takes quite a lot out of you? So, recovering from his transformations may have left his immune system weaker. (Not to muggle illnesses. Magic should handle those.)

Hey everyone! I just wanted to come by here and check out the Lupin fanclub I adore him sooo much! I would really like ot join SPELL it seems soo wonderful! I'm so happy I got here before Lupin Week! It sounds wicked cool. I'm all excited now Well I just wanted to say hi here!

I do need some help navigating around thuogh, if someone would be so kind as to help me out a little bit that would be great. I would appreciate it soo much!

Oh by the way, my name is megan . Have a great day!

As an way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age becuase he's a werewolf?

Yay! The healthcare worker gets a good question for her first one! I believe that Moony probably has a much weaker immune system than normal. Not only with transforming every month, but also the germ ridden environment he is forced to be in when he transforms. Also the fact that when he bites there is exposure to all kinds of bloodborne pathogens. Yeah I think it is safe to say that our dear Moony has a weakened immune system.

Megan, I sent you a PM. I hope you have seen it.

And our new health care worker is just showing off. Okay, we get it. Lupin's transformations = dirty = bad. There. I, the math teacher, have used equals signs in a post. I, too, can show off my skills.

Yup! That is true, I was. Ok, I have a question for everyone? What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?

Hello all I'm back after a long leave of absense that will probably occur again, but I'm in the process of ifnishing my tafe course which is very full on so bear with me 6 weeks to go then hopefully I'll be back and rearing to go! I have missed you all dearly and constantly keep a Spell reply notification in my email inbox

As an way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age becuase he's a werewolf?
Well to be a werewolf think of what you're putting your body through? And in POA he says he needs to take the wolfsbane potion the week leading up to the full moon, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it would taste very good and I imagine it would drain you a bit, it would alter your system in some way to prepare you for the transformation and that would weaken you a bit? and the transformation itself would be like getting really sick every full moon, I mean the process doesn't look or sound that comfortable so imagine the strain on your internal body? But yes Mrs. Health Care worker I just smile and nod and pretend I understand Well said

What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?
He would have made a loving, caring father, he would have been given chances the dreamed of as a child. buto n the other hand he may have become as reckless as Sirius and James, which wouldn't have been so bad, but his general outlook on life would have altered, but I think his basic being would be the same, he wasn't bitten the day he was born so his time before the bite still would have shaped him as a person. I can only hope that if he hadn't have been bitten he didn't have to suffer as a child, and that his parents were happy, and they were a close lving family, for all we know his dad could have been depressed and isolated after Lupin was bitten, he may have the guilt of being the reason he was bitten. Ah poor Lupin he and his family must have suffered so badly.

Yay woo hoo I'm brewing polyjuice potion!

Yay! People! Sorry for my absence…anyway catch up time…

If you had a werewolf in your family and I mean a very dangerous werewolf in your family could you and would you kill it to save everyone else in the world?
I know I wouldn’t kill them, that is for sure, I mean werewolf or not they would still have the same blood as me flowing the their veins so I could never kill them. I would just buy lots of Wolfsbane

baz
Hi baz

This gives me an idea, if you don't mind me adding to the questions! Like with passerby, create a scenario concerning the proposal. Not just how you think it happened, I mean like as though it's a long lost section from a chapter JK didn't put into the final book. (Er, really tiny one paragraph fanfics?
I’m not that good at writing fan fics type things So I’m not going to answer this, sorry but I love all your scenarios guys


Wow! So close, so near, less then one month away. Wow!

This wee story made me think, have any of you seen a remus/david lookalike anywhere? If so what terrible outlandish and embarrasing things have you done around him?
I have once seen a Lupin look alike and he was standing at the back of the sports hall. It was a presentation evening (where really well-behaved hard-working students get a award like myself ) and the sports hall was filled with chairs which meant the hall was filled with people anyway…I’m sitting down and I turn to look at the back of the hall and their he was! I had to blink several times to realize that it was just the real Lupin, I turned to my sister (k.lupin_werewolf) and asked her:
“Look at the back of the hall, who does he look like?”
After a while she said Lupin because she couldn’t believe it either! His face looked so like Lupin’s and his hair was scruffy like Lupin to and also he was easting something just like Lupin did in his lesson in the third movie when he is eating an apple! It was so scary but amazing at the same time. I didn’t say or do anything embarrassing; I just looked back and forth to him and smiled in amazement.

As a way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age because he's a werewolf?
I good question…and I think that being a werewolf…oh I’, sure…erm. Okay then I think when Lupin is actually in werewolf form his immune system to anything around (disease etc) him is high and that when he is in his Lupin form then his immune system is lower because of being drained by the night before. I hope that made sense.

Aww I hope you get better soon, Ygraine

Welcome to SPELL NymphieDora and Emma_93

What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?
That’s one of the problem’s about the Harry Potter books, they provoke lots of ‘what if’ questions And must I never think about however this one I have thought about. Right so…I too think that he would have made a loving father since her never got too really with his son Teddy. (I can say that right; we don’t need spoilers any more, right?) Well to me, even though he is a werewolf, he is like the image of a perfect father. However, if he wasn’t a werewolf then perhaps he could have turned out like James and Sirius being reckless as someone put it however James and Sirius didn’t turn out that bad in the end both developed kind and warn hearts even though they bullied for all their school years.

That’s about it from me

Okay so first of all, howdy new lupinites! Welcome to SPELL! Just in time for Lupin Week too! (Well, sort of...)

So anyway, to the question!

What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?

I could have SWORN we had this question before, but I'm too lazy to look so I'll answer it anyway. You know, if Lupin wasn't a werewolf, then Sirius, James, and Peter wouldn't have been Animagus! So Peter wouldn't have gotten away, so Voldy would have never came back, so this whole "dying thing" might have never happened...

But I guess he would have eventually come back even if Peter didn't get away...

Confusing. But he might not have married Tonks because there would have been no need for The Order to come back if Voldy never did. So really, him being a wereowolf has made all the difference.

I'm going to stop there because my brain is starting to hurt

<3 Rachel

That we have, but it relly doesn't matter, we get new blood all the time so not everyone here will have answered it.

I'm constantly digging up old questions from thread ago for us to answer again But... shhhh, don't tell anyone!

Welcome Megan and HermioneGyrl! (Do you have a name we can call you? Just that's a bit long, not your real name if you don't feel comfortable with revealing it, maybe just a shortened version of your screen name that you like? ) I hope that you make yourselves at home here! I'm Helen your president here You have any questions give me a buzz!

What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?

Definatley! I really think that he would have been much more confident with him self and around others. I think he still would have been friends with James and Sirius in fact I think he may have been closer because I reckon he would have been much more into mischief!

Of course they woudln't have bonded over becoming Animagi for him, but you know...

So, anyone got any ideas that we could do for Lupin Week? if so Owl me! Please?

Hey guys!!!! OMG, I love Remus!!!! He was so cool!! So before i say anything or ask anything, is everyone ok with spoilers?? Everyone has read the 7th book, right?

Hi. I'm new here too.

What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?

In my opinion, being a werewolf is completely ingrained in every aspect of Lupin's personality. Not having become one would change him immensely. And I'm not sure these changes would be for the better.

I think he would have been a little more aggressive and reckless along with James and Sirius. It was his own insecurities about being different that led him not to participate in their "teasing" of Snape in OoTP. Even as an adult he rarely spoke ill of Snape if he could avoid it, that is, until Dumbledore's death. Whether he liked Snape or not, I imagine Lupin felt some sympathy toward Snape being treated as an awkward outcast. Were Sirius and James not such understanding and noble people they could easily have made Lupin the outcast, as most of society did. I'm sure his fear of rejection and gratitude for their friendship were always motivating factors for him.

What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?
I think it would all be kind of the same if not better...I think that his werewolve being has added a little bit of bitterness and self hatred into his character and that would probably be lack...
moreover if he wasnt a werewolve the others didnt need to become animagi which is a huge proof of friendship and loyality towards him so this would lack also...so maybe in a way it would be different as he wouldnt realise maybe how far they would go for him...isnt it just lovely?

Good points, Gwenog. Go Harpies!

Personally I would miss the "bitterness and self-hatred" you mentioned, I think his vulnerability is what makes him so lovable and relatable. But maybe that's just me? Is it?

oh yeah!!! thank you for correcting it ...I seriously didnt know what to say for bitterness really..buT i think he has a little self hatred though..because he seems to think that he himself has not deserved certain things *cough* Tonks*cough*..he seriously seems to have at least a litte problem with himself...but you are absolutely right about the bitterness..that was not really what I wanted to say...oh well I am sometimes soo lost for words when I speak of Lupin...thank you for helping the harpie out

Oh my god....
i'm back..sort-of.. hi.. helen... i am really sorry... me head has been all over the place and i haven't on VTM since.. August ... sorry...
and here's my peace offering.. two lupin videos made by moi ...with pictures might i add...
Lupin - Falls Away
Lupin Trailer

and now time to answer questions....

If you had a werewolf in your family and I mean a very dangerous werewolf in your family could you and would you kill it to save everyone else in the world?
no... i would try and trap her or him... try to keep them away from every one else but i don't think i could ever kill them not if they were family.. .i wouldn't have the heart. no way would i have the heart. oooo but one life for the rest of the world? no ...i wouldn't have the guts... someone else would have to...

This gives me an idea, if you don't mind me adding to the questions! Like with passerby, create a scenario concerning the proposal. Not just how you think it happened, I mean like as though it's a long lost section from a chapter JK didn't put into the final book. (Er, really tiny one paragraph fanfics?
ooo i would loveto write that!! anything like that only...erm my funeral ball fan fic on a site will have that happen... lupin proposeing i mean.

This wee story made me think, have any of you seen a remus/david lookalike anywhere? If so what terrible outlandish and embarrasing things have you done around him?

well i was with my sister so i remember that ... i just remember being told to look at the back by lauren and then i felt stupid because i felt like saying it looked like lupin but i thought that i'd look stupid... but hey!! laz thought he looked like him too!!

As a way to hide him being a werewolf, Remus lied about being ill. Do you think however that he would have a stronger or lower immune system than a normal wizard his age because he's a werewolf?
i think in a way yes. after a tranformation i guess he'd feel drained... tried and out of him self as it were. so after a transformation i think...
i think he would have had a lower immune system because his transformations would drain him and besides in J.K's eyes it seems she thought that it would make him weaker in a way... as she described him as older then his years or almost dead... well ron said that on the train anyways.

What do you think our Remus would have been like had he not been bitten? Would he still be as meek and kind or might he have changed? Would his relationship wiith James and Sirius have been different had he not been bitten?
i think he... he would have pure of heart anyway. i don't know... hard to explain... i might elaborate on this one at another time when i can find the right words.... lol

again... helen... everybody...
sorry i was gone for so long... erm i was mourning.. yeah... lol
sorry

Welcome to SPELL Ginny&Harryforever and Blue-haired Baby and Gwenog

Ginny&Harryforever

Wow those videos were amazing sis!! Well done!! I love 'Lupin - Falls Away' but you know that Great work!! I'm sure EVERYONE will love them!!

Hi Jade! Welcome back

This gives me an idea, if you don't mind me adding to the questions! Like with passerby, create a scenario concerning the proposal. Not just how you think it happened, I mean like as though it's a long lost section from a chapter JK didn't put into the final book. (Er, really tiny one paragraph fanfics?

Hmm... we did something like this really recently (within the last month or two) HermioneGyrl. I think that it's a really good idea for LupinWeek. (week on thursday people!) I don't know about the proposal though as like I said, we did it not too long ago.... Leave it with me

But good idea, they're always fun!

Finally your're back Jade! I was beginning to get worried!

Ygraine, I JUST PMed you for Lupin Week like, five seconds ago, so I hope you read that! Hope it helps!

Oh jeez we just got more members! So welcome to SPELL Ginny&Harryforever and Blue-haired Baby! Hey, Gwenog, are you new here too? Because I haven't seen you around much. But if you aren't new then sorry bout that and you can ignore me if you want!

So guys, any new questions? I can't really think of any right now...oooh got one!

What song represents Lupin the most to you? It can be any song that comes to mind when you think of our Remus It might be bad but I just thought of it two seconds ago so give me some credit!

<3 Rachel

PS Hey this is my five hundredth post! I just realized that! YAY! Whoopie!

*waves @ Sabrina_Rose_Snape*
thanks for welcoming us

What song represents Lupin the most to you? It can be any song that comes to mind when you think of our Remus
oh what a nice question!! I actually thought about it the other day or well it was recently anyway..lol..
so okay there is a rather unknown song from Korn and Amy Lee - Freak On a Leash
yes I am a Rocker so its rock but rather soft for Korn..and Amy Lee is amazing seriously..I think she would be an awesome Belltrix Lestrange..
so anyway it so fits with him...I mean the lines "Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes its my life I cant taste." or "live's kinda always been messing with me" (at the very beginning) and especially when they sing "Something takes a part of me" (eek) actually the whole song reminds me on Lupin...he is not a freak but he is a werewolve so an outcast in a way...for others kinda freaky...and on a leash...its quite simple..always becoming a werewolve without a chance to escape from it..anyway I really start thinking about Lupin whenever I hear that...and somehow when Amy says "You wanna see the light, so do I." I feel like its Tonks telling this to him..oh well never mind me...
but listen to it really...its really beautiful..seriously..do it..lol

I'll post one where you can only listen to it as Amy and Korn tend to distract from what they are singing about...enjoy..lol

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=s6FgSwqyH1U

Funny you said that Gwenog, because I was thinking of Amy Lee's band Evanescence, and their song "Good Enough."

"I'm still waiting for the rain to fall, pour real life down on me cause I can't hold on to anything this good. Am I good enough for you to love me too?"

But I've always been a sucker for a good love song.

Naturally the 80's songs "Werewolves in London" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" come to mind, but now I'm showing my age.

Yes warm welcomes to the new comers Ginny&Harryforever, Blue-haired Baby! and Gwenog - Gwenog I just love your name good job!

I like having new comers, you come with such new opinions, once you've been here a while sometimes you pre-empt (hmm is that the word I'm looking for?) the next question by answering it in the current one, there's just so much to say about Lupin and the fresh thoughts are good

Jade love the videos (do you know that they're linkedi n the opposite order? The trailer one is actually Lupin Falls away?) not that it matter because I watched them both The falls away one actually made me quite sad, when he was getting bitten as a kid, then if you look at that many clips of Lupin in a row you see that his smile is one of politeness and a little bit forced rather than genuine happiness does anyone else see that? But great vids, we should bring out all of those creative aspects for Lupin week? If anyone has any more??

What song represents Lupin the most to you? It can be any song that comes to mind when you think of our Remus I'm really not very good at these questions unless they're obvious ones so sorry I don't have anything here I think I'd just embarass myself hehe

I do have a short answer question in relation to my newest revelation:

Apart from when Lupin married Tonks and Teddy was born what other moments in Lupin's life made him truly happy?

I'll let a couple of people answer it first then come back...I already have a few ideas...

EDIT An hour later:
Ok so I just read the homepage to see David Thewlis' view on the DD being gay issue and he said that Alfonso thought/described Lupin as gay, now there's one part actually in POA were his hair is swept in the right kind of way, and he tilts his head a little and seems to me to have a mannerism of someone who is gay, there is no offense intended in this saying that gay people have stereoypical movements, I myself have many lovely gay friend - love them to bits actually - but when Harry and Lupin are on the bridge towards Hagrids talking about how Lupin knew his mum, and he recognised him by his eyes. Did anyone else see this or can they now? I've never voiced it before because I didn't want to offend but I think at times Alfonso may have still put that gay edge into his character? Although I presume that if he had alsked JK the truth she would have told him yes or no is is or isn't as he was quite meticulous in getting the details right from what I hear? Hmm just a thought.

thankies for the welcomings..yes it is a really girl power-ish name...

oh and Blue-haired Baby!...you can always get me with Evanescence songs...i am a huge fan...

Apart from when Lupin married Tonks and Teddy was born what other moments in Lupin's life made him truly happy?
I would say that when he was allowed to go to hogwarts was probably one of the happiest moments in his life...if it wasnt for DD it would have been impossible for him but thanks to him he could go which made him definetly veryyy happy...
and then maybe also when he was offered a job in hogwarts by DD again...
and when his mates became Animagi for him although a little bit of gulityness was probably there too...
generally when he was with the rest of the marauders and his entire hogwarts life..

a song that fits Lupin!!??
oh my god... just listen to Glittering Clouds by Imogen Heap. if you type it into youtube you will get a few tonks/lupin vids as well. just look at the lyrics!
please look at them... they so fit....

I'm not always like this
It's something, i become
A terrible weakness
In my nature, in my blood
Save me, oh save me, save me from myself
Before i hurt somebody else again

Domino motion jump starts when we touch
The blackout approaching
Here it comes now, wish me luck
It's all over, it's all over, it's all over in a flash
I can't remember,
What have I done now?

Go go faster wider
More more get it down ya
Dance dance take me over
Glittering Cloudx2

oh, my head hurts
Oh dear oh dear.

It's all over the papers
On the TV, wagging tongues
The artist's impression looks just like me
only... better
Don't blame me, don't maim me, I can't help what I am
Oh, Lord knows i've tried to

Go go faster wider
More more get it down ya
Dance dance take me over
Glittering Cloud x2

Sabrina_Rose_Snape


lol thanks sis... he he knew you liked it.

helen

woooo you didn't shout at me lol

bookworm101

ha ha thanks!

Drinotonks

ooo are they? bah...oh well! thanks for those lovely comments! yeah fall away one was intended to be sad. you know when it says (about the past) "it's following you" i thought it was funnu and i bit clever when i used the bit when Harry was following him thanks again...

Greetings! I have returned!

*silence*

*cough*

~~~~~~~

First thing's first...

A song that fits Lupin? There was a good one by Remus and the Lupins. Which is, er, not surprising...I can't think of any, but I have to say, blue-haired baby, I have also thought that Good Enough is quite Lupiny. (Did someone say Evanescence?! GASP! Argh, fangirl moment!)

Apart from when Lupin married Tonks and Teddy was born what other moments in Lupin's life made him truly happy?
Good question, considering that Lupin's life, er...well, sucked. I agree with what's been said, when he was allowed to go to Hogwarts and when the other Marauders turned themselves into Animagi. That's commitment for you!

Drinotonks, that thing you said about Lupin's mannerisms...I think you may be on to something. It might just be a...I dunno, coincidence and nothing of the sort was ever indended but...you never know! (Personally I always thought Lupin was gay...well, until the end of book 6 was read.)

SPELL Newbies, welcome! I offer you chairs and Moon Pie!

And as for the spoilers, YES!!! No more spoiler requirements! I was getting sick of those.

Just off topic from the top of my head: who's psyched for the 6th movie and all it's Lupinness?

I think parts of the song Moments by Emerson Drive kinda fit our Lupin.

He said, You know, I haven't always been this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do

Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

I'm sure the caring side of his personality wouldn't have changed but he would probably have more self-esteem and be more confident in himself, which would make him all the more adorable I reckon he would still have been friends with James and Sirius, possibly even closer friends because he would probably have been more outgoing and been more involved in James and Sirius' rule breaking.

Lupin Week soon wonderful

There is one moment that we witnessed that I think people have overlooked. I always imagined Lupin having a controlled moment of elation when he realized how much Harry was like James and Lily. They were both good people, and it must have made him happy that Harry was as good a person as his parents.

Helllllllllloooo fellow Lupiners! Welcome any new people I forgot! Yipee kayay! (sorry,I'm just in a good mood)

Okay so to answer my question about what song represents Lupin, whenever I hear the song Hold On by the Jonas Brothers (love love love LOVE Nick!), I always think of Lupin. I really don't know why, I guess its because no matter what hardships he had to go through, he just had to hold on and he'll get through them.

For the other question about what makes Lupin truly happy, I would have to say that when he's with the mauraders, those were some reaaaalllly happy times. Or maybe simple times, like when he's sitting by the fire studying, surrounded by the people he loves. And obviously before he was a werewolf.

<3 Rachel

Eeek! Lupinweek starts on Thursday! Who's excited!? I know I am!

Hmm as a song, I don't really have a song that screams Remus to me, but a line or two in the song Windowsill by the Arcade Fire (I saw them on friday squee!*) kinda reminds me of him..

I don't want to live with my father's debt
You can't forgive what you can't forget
I don't want to live in my father's house no more

Awesome way to kick off Lupin week!

Firstly a late Happy Halloween and secondly…
Its Lupin week!! *Dances around*

I’ll just catch up first and then join the Lupinness of Lupin week

Your welcome Gwenog

I love that song Blue-haired Baby well Evanescence is one of my favourite bands!



That’s a really good song, I can see why you think it fits Lupin, good choice sis!

What song represents Lupin the most to you?
Well so many good songs have been mentioned…erm…the line ‘Can’t fight the moonlight’ from LeAnn Rimes’ song ‘Can’t fight the moonlight’ fits perfectly But as for pretty much a whole song I don’t know because I don’t what to repeat what someone else had said therefore I have to think…think…think…Oh I know…Linkin Park’s song ‘Crawling’ here are the lyrics if you are unsure:
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting how i cant seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing confusing what is real

There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing what is real
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling, confusing what is real

Apart from when Lupin married Tonks and Teddy was born what other moments in Lupin's life made him truly happy?
I agree with some of you who said that when he was accepted to Hogwarts/arrived was a moment when he was truly happy. He must have been ‘over-the moon’ at being accepted even though he was different, he must have felt a huge sense of belonging at that point.

Whose psyched for the 6th movie and all it's Lupinness?
I think the question is…’Who isn’t psyched?’ I think we all are looking forward to the 6th movie and ‘all it’s Lupinness’ I know I am, I know I can’t wait for the moments with him and Tonks, aww.

Now for the Lupinness of Lupin week…

10 Things that Lupin had on his To-Do List but Never Did In no real order:
1. Raise Teddy
2. Celebrate his and Tonks one year marriage anniversary (and more)
3. Have more children?
4. Tell Harry tales of his dad, himself and Sirius
5. Write a book on how to survive being a werewolf
6. Tell J.K that he shouldn’t have died if he was one of her favourite characters
7. Get a job, maybe with Kingsley at the M.O.M
8. Buy loads of chocolate to eat in celebration of the Dementors not existing anymore
9. Start research on a cure for werewolves (it has to be possible right?)
10. Die an old man with his family and friends at his bedside

That’s it from me…for today that is…

OMGGGGGG another fave band of moi!!!!!!!
you have no Idea how much I love that song....but going with LP I would also think that "Somewhere I belong" fits quite good

Just to reinforce what Ygraine said earlier, please stay with the Lupin week activities, there will be time to go back over previous questions once Lupin week is over.

Thanks guys.
