Chapter Text
Remus knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office and waited for her to answer. He was worried that he might be early or that she was busy or maybe he was late. His anxious thoughts were interrupted when Professor McGonagall opened the door.
"Good morning, Mr Lupin. Please come in." She opened the door and stepped aside to let him in. He hobbled inside with his cane and sat down tentatively.
"You asked to see me, Professor?" He inquired anxiously.
"Ah yes. I was informed by one of the house elves that your name, gender identity and dorm room had changed this year and I was simply wanting to offer my support and help you with anything you may need in this change." Professor McGonagall replied kindly.
Remus was confused.
"What? You're not kicking me out? You're okay with me staying in the boys' dorm even though I was born a girl? I thought I was going to be forced back to the girls' dorm." Remus anxiously rambled.
"Calm down, Mr Lupin. We don't kick students out simply for discovering themselves. We didn't kick Evan Rosier out when we caught him masturbating in the Great Hall when he was meant to be in class, did we? So why would we kick you out for something as basic as your gender identity changing?" Professor McGonagall replied in a kind but firm tone.
"H-how did you know my name had changed, Professor? I didn't tell anyone my chosen name until yesterday evening." Remus said, just wanting to find out how these things worked.
"That's Hogwarts for you, it knows your deepest and darkest desires even when you won't admit them even to yourself" Professor McGonagall replied. "Now, you get off to breakfast before your first lesson. We can't have you fainting because you forgot to eat now, can we?"
Remus chuckled anxiously "no, I suppose not."
"If you need any help with anything or you need to report any students who are giving you a hard time, you know where to find me." Professor McGonagall said as Remus left her office.
