#31DAYSOFHARRY (2020) : Day 13. Tom Jedusor / Tom Riddle

the second week of potter prompts! (day 13 was snape but... i did james and lily instead)

Day 8 of #31daysofharry Remus Lupin!

Lupin is very special to me. I’ve never read of a character in a book that feels so familiar to me.

My Dad is a Doctor, growing up his hours would be late, and long depending on the shift he had to work. I remember as a little girl I would dream he was a werewolf and that was why he was gone at night :P. He introduced me to monster movies, and werewolf lore.

When I was in junior high I wanted him to read Harry Potter. The best way of doing this was listening to the audio books together so we could talk about the story in tandem. 

To this day if my Dad has a hard shift at the hospital and is looking worn out he can turn to me and smile and say “I feel like Lupin”. It’s such a great way to communicate life’s stress, and the hard things we deal with that we don’t always have control over.

Lupin is patient with students, studious, moral, He deals with a stress that is hard for others to understand, and is an incredible role model to Harry.
