After finishing a day's work, Lupin dragged his exhausted body home, made himself some simple food in the kitchen, then threw himself into a battered armchair.
Lupin looked worn out. As he rested with his eyes closed, he recalled the letter he had received some time ago. Headmaster Dumbledore had invited him to Hogwarts as the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.
Although the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor was rather unlucky, Lupin was still grateful for the headmaster's invitation. It was undoubtedly a respectable job for him.

Even though the letter had mentioned how to eliminate the potential danger a Werewolf might pose to students, he still did not want to burden the headmaster. Lupin also knew that Professor Dumbledore could not find a suitable Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.
Lupin was a dangerous Werewolf, shunned and despised by wizards in the wizarding world, making it difficult for him to find suitable work.
