Remus pov ~~
The new little first years hovered around like flies trying to find Hagrid, being a prefect i have to help them and tell them where to go which was difficult to say the least. Not because they were naughty or anything but because my mates were so eager to prank them. They seen it as a 'welcome to Hogwarts' thing or a 'if you can stand these pranks then you deserve to be here'. The other new prefects also cause abit of trouble for me as lily hates prongs and padfoot for their pranks. She doesn't mind me and Peter, she says we don't play as much of a part in them but she's very far from the truth. The other troubling prefect is Snape, he hates everyone and everything especially us marauders, I know James and Sirius ain't the nicest to him but he does his fair share back.
The biggest problem i face is my condition, my biggest most feared secret. It stopped me from being normal, i feel like a monster, an outsider. i'm a danger, i'm a problem, i'm uncontrollable, if people found out their sons and daughters went to school with a werewolf they would freak.
My lycanthropy caused me to have scars after being locked up to stop me hurting people so instead i hurt myself. My claws would dig into my fur and drag them across. After my transition big gashes would appear on my pale,soft skin they looked so out of place. The cuts were so deep even magic couldn't heal them so i'm left with these scars which earn me funny looks from ordinary people. It's like i'm a freak. I don't just have physical scares, mental and emotional scars make me who i am. Its why i'm so shy and reserved. My dad despises what i have turned into, My mothers scared of me but at least she tries to love me the same as she used too. She's just a bit frightened i think but i don't blame here look at me i'm a monster. She also has been told all the bad things 'my kind' do from my father. He's a nob he doesn't even try to treat me as a son he's ashamed of me i know it. Many people don't even know i exist, i'm a nobody.
When i first joined Hogwarts i was anxious and timid especially of James and Sirius, they just wouldn't leave me alone. They pestered me about where i went every month and why did i lie about where i went. Obviously, i denied everything they said and acted dumb. Peter was a bit annoying but not as nosey he just tagged along really. After months of lying, it was Sirius that found out by eavesdropping on mine and Professor McGonagall's conversation and hearing the word wolf. James was a bit pissed at Sirius for telling him and Peter before me. Peter however was hesitant but Sirius and James decided that they wanted me to become apart of their gang. It was James that confronted me, well i say confronted but he was actually really sweet, he promised he'd let nothing happen to me and they all solemnly swore to keep it a secret. I had finally found some friends who only cared for me not about my 'furry little problem'"Oi remus, what am u and Sirius staring at?' James asked over all the noise on the platform
"Nothing really, i were just thinking " i replied, then i pointed at Sirius
" i don't know what he's thinking about though, shall i get his attention ?"
"Ye please"
