Tiberius Greyback was working late into the night for Astronomy. The new term had just started and life was hectic for the professor newly out of Hogwarts. It came as a shock to him that the Headmaster and school professors let him teach Astronomy. They were at a shortage of professors and Tiberius had always excelled at Astronomy. Of course, not many people knew he was a werewolf. The thing that came as a bigger shock was the fact that his twin brother, Demitri Greyback was chosen to teach History of Magic. Dem was a complete player who cared for nothing but girls. It was the actual reason he chose to teach. And History of Magic?! What a joke!
Tiberius Greyback was perfectly aware of what others thought of him. His close friends praised his deeds. Most girls thought he was a sweet talker to have a onetime fling with. Any other people who were not in those two categories despised him. The majority of school teachers did not like him either. Either because of his cockiness, his talents, or his family history. And the boy was not very proud of what kind of tag his family had written on them. They were outcasts. Being called such things as traitors, evil doers, and the sort. Constant rumors swung around about him, his brother, and his two sisters. Whenever one of them passed a group of students, they were eyed weirdly and whispers filled the halls and ears of everyone there. Former-Professor Jack Lestrange was the only exception to that select group of people. He believed Tiberius had potential to lead and to take charge of the werewolves during the rise of a new Dark Lord. Tiberius had pretty much already made his decision to be a Death Eater...and he was proud of it. But in reality, Jack Lestrange was just another person that he wanted to learn from. To obtain a level of power. And his use was over. Tiberius Leonardo Greyback was already a Death Eater under Bellatrix Lestrange. And not just any old Death Eater. He was third in command. The Astronomy professor restrained an awkward smile from reaching his lips at the thought.
Luckily, it was not a full moon tonight. Otherwise, he would probably find himself waking up exhaustedly in the middle of a forest with scars, bruises, and what not on his body. Well Tiberius did not need to have it be a full moon to transform into a werewolf. This was a quality that he shared with his unique father. But during a full moon, the Slytherin would forcibly be turned into a werewolf. He had forgotten to take his Wolfsbane Potion for this month. It was the one flaw that he had. Sometimes Ty would not remember to take the potion and would end up running in the forest for his monthly evening rampage. Jack Lestrange had arranged that for him and made sure no one other than expressed by him knew about his...problem. Not even the Headmaster of Hogwarts knew, thought he most certainly would not have been accepted as a professor in that case.
It was quite awkward getting up some mornings for Tiberius Greyback. Most times, he would be hung over from drinking the night away. Other times he could be found dead asleep due to a night out as a werewolf. Tonight, he just found himself emerged in endless amounts of boredom. Though it was rare for him to be in that situation, it could not be called refreshing in any way. Snatching a book off of his shelf, he began to slowly skim the contents of it. Nevertheless, laws of space on this particular night did not seem to quench his thirst for excitement and adventure, or cure him of his boredom. Rather, it just seemed to worsen the matter. So much so that his eyes began to feel heavy. Despite his genuine attempt to fight it, drowsiness overcame Tiberius Greyback, and he dozed off into the land of dreams and nightmares...
