What became of other victims of Fenrir?
Oct. 23rd, 2022 04:51 pmWe are told Fenrir Greyback made a point of attacking children. In April 1997 (Lexicon timeline) Hermione was surprised to learn that he had killed his recent victim (the 5 year old brother of the Montgomery sisters). This was after she had been reading the Daily Prophet for over a year, and as killing by a werewolf is the kind of news the Prophet would be inclined to report there must not have been such events over this time. So what became of all the children that Fenrir turned since the 1960s? My guess is that if Albus learned one thing from Sirius' 'prank' it was that his arrangements for Remus' safety were not quite as great as he had thought (though he had no idea how utterly useless the Marauders had made them to be). So while he let Remus keep attending without strengthening the protections against his transformed form, he avoided enrolling any other werewolf children, and all those children ended up being homeschooled (or not-schooled, as the case may have been). In DH chapter 11 Remus says that while Hogwarts education hadn't been compulsory previously almost all wizarding children in its catchment area attended. If the fan theory that Remus made his living most of his adult life as tutor to homeschooled wizarding children, I'm guessing many of his students were in fact fellow werewolves.
