Blaze never understood why the sorting hat placed him in Slytherin, he seemed to be nothing like the cruel people he's been forced to associate with. But then again, not all Slytherins are bad, but the ones he is required to be around seem to be. The summer before his 4th year at Hogwarts, he's bitten by a werewolf that his father had once made a deal with. He survives the bite and his first full moon, with new scars. He had always felt like a freak to his family... but now, he truly was, the werewolf amongst the pure bloods, the true freak of the family. When he returns to Hogwarts, he's introduced to a Gryffindor upperclassman, Remus Lupin. He never realized that when he was called a freak by his so-called family, that there were people out there who didn't care that he was a werewolf. He was no freak in their eyes.
