The Marauders

Remus

Dear Mr. Remus Lupin was a cheerful child, he almost forgot to say goodbye to his parents as he ran with an armful of books onto the train. He was smaller then most of the kids, had a mop of dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. His robe was rolled at his wrists and nearly dragged behind him, but he was happy nonetheless. Throughout his younger years, poor Remus was not allowed to play with other children because of his condition. Thus leaving Remus thinking he was not going to ever have friends, never going to fit in. His parents, Lyall Lupin and Hope Howell were hopeful that little Remus would follow in his father's footsteps of attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Despite being bitten by Fenrir Grey back at five years old and a dreadful childhood of excruciating transformations, Remus grew up clever, loveable, and lonely. Shortly before Remus’s eleventh birthday, no less a person than Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, arrived uninvited on the Lupins’ doorstep. Flustered and frightened, Lyall and Hope tried to block his entrance,(knowing why he had come, they feared for their only child) but somehow, five minutes later, Dumbledore was sitting at the fireside, eating crumpets and playing Gobstones with Remus. He further explained to the Lupins that he saw no reson that remus should not attend school and proposed that once a month he would leave for a secure village of hogsmead where remus would be safe. OF COURSE remus was most excited to attend (to finally have some friends his age) and began packing his bags at once with a giant smile on his face.                As the train took of on its journey, tiny Remus walked excitedly down the corridor of the train, noticing quickly that all of the rooms were full. All of a sudden there was a bump on the tracks and Remus stumbled into one of the rooms, which caused a mess of books and parchments and quills to be scattered all throughout the little room. And reader, I bet you could just about guess which room tiny little Remus stumbled into.
