My Wolf (Remus Lupin X OC)

Under The Willow

(Nothing belongs to me except Alex and the plot)
The sun rays beat against me, the nearby shore of a lake beat on the sand. The grass tickles the back of my neck, my only shade being my favorite small weeping willow tree, I have sat here since James and I were hardly 6, mum had taken us into the woods and we found this place, this magical place we shared with no one else, just James, Mum, and I.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt James sit next to me, "hey" he whispered

"Hi" I whispered back

When he comes here, he completely calms down, he's no longer loud, obnoxious, and annoying. He's sweet, quiet, and caring.

"Wanna see this years bloom?" He asked, when we were young our mum placed a spell on the flowers, which made them change into different flowers each year, this year we seemed to have...

"White roses and poppies, the only thing better would be-"

"Zinnias?" James asked giving me a bouquet of beautiful Zinnias of Red and Purple, "happy birthday sis"

"Thanks James" James is only 3 months older than me, somehow, mom got pregnant, while pregnant. That only left us with a small problem (pretty big problem), but that's another story.

"So, are you excited for second year?" James asked me, we are both in the same year.

"Yeah, this year I'm joining chorus and music class, mom has always told me my singing is magical" I said

"I think your singing is beautiful" James said

"Thank you" I smiled, since we were still watching the flowers, I sat down. I grab a few flowers and start weaving.

"Whatcha doin'?" He asked

"You'll see" I said, "there we go"

I place purple, red, and white flower crowns on our heads.

"Race you to the swing!" I stood up and ran towards an oak tree on the edge of our area, my blue dress flying behind me, my bare feet crunching the grass below them. I reach the swing milliseconds before him.

"I win you lose now you get a big bruise!" I punch him in the arm

"You win fair and square now I get to pull your-"

"Don't you dare" I warned, he stuck his tongue out at me

"here I'll push you" he offered

"James I'm 12 I can swing myself" I said

"But I want to" he whined

"Ok, fine" I sighed

He pushed me and the wind blew my bright red hair and my blue eyes shimmered in the sun, I looked quite different from James, I got most of my looks from mum and his from father.

"Mom said the marauders were going to visit today" I said

"Wanna go back and see?" He asked

"Sure" I smiled and we walked back

***

I opened the back door to the house and saw them all sitting in our living room. James tried to jump over the back of the couch to land on it but instead ending up rolling onto the floor, "AH MY SIDE" he cried in fake pain

"Get up" I said as I was trying to get passed him

"God dammit Alex I'm trying to be dramatic here" he said

I giggled, rolled my eyes, and stepped over him, I was never graceful or pretty, and I was actually pretty chubby, but I wasn't like obese or overweight, I usually honestly looked like a mess and my only good qualities are my smarts, humor, and my love for pranks, I'm usually the planner and leader for our pranks, I let the boys get the detention though, "hello Remus, Sirius.... Peter" I honestly didn't trust him, there was something off about him, it wasn't normal.

"I think I'm going to try out for seeker this year" said James

"I might try for keeper" I said, "Who am I kidding I'm not cut out for the quiditch team"

"Yeah you're right yo-" Sirius starts but Remus slaps a hand over his mouth

"I think what Sirius is trying to say is that you would make a wonderful keeper and we will all support you"

"Thanks Remus" I gave him a hug, "I'm going to my room if you need me"

I then walked upstairs, curled up on my bed and read, 'Number The Stars' by Lowis Lowry (a/n I think that's how you spell it)
