Harry Potter One Shots

Reader LupinXJames Potter Part 1

(Y/n's P.O.V)

Hi, I'm Y/n Y/n Lupin. Yes, my brother is the infamous Remus J Lupin.

Remus is older than me by a year, so he is entering his second year, and I am my first. My brother Remus had told me all about his friends, James, Sirius and Peter. They are all in Gryffindor and are the biggest pranksters ever. Mum would prefer he had other friends, but while he is still involved in his schoolwork and isn't in too much trouble, she can't complain. However, his accomplices could be better students who could boost his academics. Our parents have no say over his friends and, in turn, mine.

Naturally, when I start at Hogwarts today, my brother and I will be beside each other; I hope I'm in Gryffindor.

I finally want to repay the favour this year; Greyback didn't aim for Remus that day. He aimed for me; Remus saved me. He has to live with being a werewolf because he saved me.

"Y/n? Wake up!! We got to get ready to go!" Remus yelled from outside my door.

I walk over to the door and open it to see Remus standing in his Muggle clothes. His trunk sits behind him, his hair messy and unkempt. Deep bags take up their usual place under his eyes. The other night was a full moon, and even though it's been three days since the full moon, he wasn't completely caught up on sleep. Yet, for me, he made sure he was up on time to eat breakfast with me.

"I'm already awake, Remus; I am offended you think I would sleep in!" I laughed.

A smile spread across his face; it grew, and before I could react, I was on the ground as he tickled me. Our laughter blocked out my screams. I kicked and hit him, but he wouldn't get off till our Father walked past.

"Remus, get off your sister. Y/n, get ready. Your Mother will have breakfast ready when you get down." With that, Father left, and Remus let go.

Our faces were red as we calmed down. Remus helped me choose some muggle clothes and packed the last of my stuff while I was in the bathroom, showering and changing. My favourite toy, Moony, was a little Wolf Remus chose for me as a baby. It's funny if you think about it. When Remus was only a year old, he decided to get a little brown wolf for his baby sister, and five years later, he saved said sister from becoming a wolf. It isn't really funny, but Remus always makes it out to be a funny story.

Once I was changed and packed, we raced down the stairs; Remus, older and taller than me, reached the bottom of the stairs first. Mum yelled at us to stop running, so we slowed to a fast walk as we hurried to the kitchen table, where Mum had placed plates of bacon, egg, and a glass of orange juice at our spots. We quickly ate, then rushed off again.

Remus had arranged with his friends that we would meet with them at the train station at 10:30, giving us some time to talk before the train arrived.

We left for the train station at 9:40, giving us just enough time to get from our home to the station by 10:20. Then we would head to Platform 9 and 3/4, giving us time to put our trunks in the pile where all the trunks go before James, Sirius and Peter arrived.

We were running around the empty station when James, the first of the three friends, arrived; he immediately joined in, leaving his parents to put his trunk with ours. His parents then went and stood with our parents, talking to them. Peter arrived next. He followed me around, which was creepy, and James kept making fun of us, saying Peter had a crush on me. Remus, on the other hand, just scowled at his friends.

Remus loved his friends, but when it came to me, he was way overprotective. He was mad at James for even considering it and at Peter for even looking at me. The station became tense, though our parents didn't notice; Remus stood between Peter and me. The tension eased when Sirius arrived.
