Fan Casting All The Young Dudes

The story is told from the perspective of Harry Potter character Remus Lupin. Nearing his 5th birthday, Lupin was bitten by a werewolf, Fenrir Greyback, and became one himself. Soon after, his father died by suicide due to the knowledge of the pain and agony his son would endure, and his mother placed Lupin in St. Edmund's, a children's home for boys. At St. Edmund's, Lupin is looked after by Matron, who locks him up during the full moon to keep him from hurting any of the other boys, while simultaneously preserving his secret. As Lupin comes of age, Albus Dumbledore visits the home to give Lupin his acceptance letter to Hogwarts and explain his special situation. Since he is a werewolf, he will go into a secret tunnel under the Whomping Willow on full moons which leads to the Shrieking Shack, where he can undergo his transformation in privacy and safety. While attending school, he befriends James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew; the four became known as the Marauders.
