Chapter 1: the trip to Hogwarts

Remus had never seen anything quite as strange as the way you must board platform nine and three quarters. what if someone got confused and ended up smacking straight into a wall? they could get a concussion, and sue the whole school, and would it not be extremely easy for a muggle to just stumble into the magical world by accident? he wondered why that has ever happed while he himself walked through the barrier between the muggle world and magical world. another thing he wonders at this time is if anyone will want to be his friend, when he arrives at Hogwarts. after all, why would would anyone talk to a boy like him? the main reason for these thoughts is the fact that eleven year-old Remus Lupin was, in fact, a werewolf! and had been dealing with lycanthropy since the age of five. professor Dumbledore had said he worked out how to deal with that issue, but Remus was still worried what if other precautions are put in place? what if the headmaster had to inform everyone about him? tell them that he's dangerous. he flinched at this thought.

 Remus walked over to the crowd outside the train, and spotted a tall jet-black haired boy, wearing glasses, yelling "there you are Sirius!" A boy with black, longer hair yelled back, "hi James!"     

    though there was a sea of people on the platform Remus felt his eyes resting on those two boys "wow, this sure it exiting!" these were the words that slapped Remus back in to the moment, they belonged to his mother, who had her hand resting on his shoulder. "oh! yeah, I'm quite nervous." he responded "you know, I haven't been in the magical world ever since...                 well, you better board the train now I think." said his mother.

Remus's mother kissed him on the forehead and wished him farewell. he walked to the train and looked back at the now much smaller crowed. Among other students and parents he saw the two dark haired boys, James and Sirius, seemingly gossiping about another boy with black, but very greasy, hair who was glancing at them with a scowl. Remus walked down the aisle. He stepped into what he thought was the nearest empty stall, only to find a small sandy haired, and slightly chubby looking boy sitting in the corner. he looked startled at the sight of Remus, so he greeted the boy " um, hi. mind if I sit in here?" Remus asked. the boy responded with "u-um, sure" his voice was high pitched and squeaky, he also talked very quietly as if he were shy. Remus sat down in the farthest corner from the boy. after a few minutes of the only sound being the noisy people talking outside of the compartment, Remus decided to introduce himself, "My name is Remus, this will be my first year at Hogwarts." he stuck out his hand. the other boy reluctantly shook Remus's hand and said that his name was Peter Pettigrew and this would be his first year too. Remus offered Peter some chocolate which he gratefully took.

 Almost immediately after this, the compartment door opened up to reveal the two boys Remus had saw earlier. the one who was wearing glasses, said" heyya, I'm James. this is my mate Sirius and all the other compartments are full so, mind if we sit with you two?" "yeah, you can sit with us, um if that's ok with Peter anyway" responded Remus, glancing at Peter who shook his head in approval. "cool" said Sirius, slouching down next to him. "first year for you two as well?" asked James, sitting next to Remus. they both said yes. "any idea what house you'll be in?" asked Sirius. Remus responded first" well my Dad was a Ravenclaw so I'll probably be one too." I really hope that's not hereditary. my whole family was in Slytherin, but if I'm put in Slytherin house i will throw the sorting hat on the ground and leave" said Sirius. "well come on Sirius, it's not the hat's fault." what about you? Peter right? what house do you think you'll be in?" said James. "um, Hufflepuff, or so everyone tells me. they just say that cause they think I'm soft and can't take a hit. just because they're right doesn't justify being rude. " said Peter. "well there is nothing wrong with Hufflepuff, if you don't want to be a Hufflepuff I doubt you will." replied James.

 whilst the sun falls and the castle approaches, the four students continue to talk, until the train stops, the boys stand up to gather their things, and James says, "you know, I don't mind whatever house I get put in, because you lot seem pretty damn cool, and I'll be content as long as I'm with you all." to witch Sirius pats James's back and responds "come on you tacky oaf, we have a feast to attend."
