Afflicted- Remus Lupin

The One Where She Moves.

"Breath deep, close your eyes and get ready

The time has come, brace yourself and stand steady

We all come to this point, this time in our lives

This time to see who makes it, who survives

The gate begins to open revealing those inside

Shadow is parted, light shines illuminating pride"

-Aric Beers

Com'on Daisy. You can do this... It's just another first day of school. You have done this every year. Just do it one more time.

These were the thoughts going through Daisy Mason Zograf's mind as she walked through the large arches into king's cross station. She looked at the smudged words scribbled on her palm. These words were the instructions given to her by her Uncle Láng. These were the instructions as to how to get onto platform 9¾. As she was walking she noticed a boy, who was quite tall, being teased by two boys. She immediately noticed that they were all pushing carts that were the same as hers. She began to follow in excitement, hoping they too were going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Hey Snivellus!" The taller of the two boys yelled. He had dark hair and wore rounded glasses. His skin was a bit tanned and he wore a light green collared shirt with an orange, green, and brown patterned sweater vest over. His slacks were a dark black and were a bit short for him, they were not ironed and unruly. His dark hair was slightly outgrown and quite unruly. Daisy noticed that the curls fell over his face but could not conceal the apparent handsome features that decorated his face. One of the boys hands was in his pocket and the other grabbed into a dark brown satchel on top of the taller boy's cart, Snivellus as they had called him however Daisy got the sense this was more of a nickname. "What do we have here!" The boy with the glasses taunted.

"Stop it James!" Snivellus said, quite angrily.

"Well Snivellus, don't close up so quickly! Let's take a look-sie!" Said the other of the two boys taunting Snivellus. This one had longer hair that was tied up in a half hearted pony tail. He had on a black bomber jacket with patches and a white t-shirt that was ripped on one side. His bell bottom jeans were very out of style but, somehow he made it work. His face was smirking and it was a tad bit scary. But every few seconds he had a sweet smile on his face that showed a damaged personality. Daisy didn't know this at the time but this boy was darker inside than out and had a guilty conscience and a chip on his shoulder that would scare a grown man. This boy reached his hand into the satchel and grabbed out what appeared to be a diary. They all stopped pushing their carts for a second and another boy and two girls caught up. The boy was pushing two carts. This one was a tad bit short and stout. But he was quite "cute" and as Daisy would say, not attractive like James could be described as, but "cute". They called him Peter.

"Sirius! Stop teasing Severus!" A girl with dirty blonde hair, whose cart was being pushed by the other boy, shoved Sirius and tried to grab the diary out of his hands. She wore a grey sweater with white marks on the side, her ripped jeans seemed a bit ahead of their time, but from the way that she looked and carried herself, to Daisy she looked like a popular trendsetter. She played with Sirius like he was an older brother. Daisy watched as Severus stood to the side helpless to the events happening in front of him. His diary was being thrown back and forth from Sirius to James and back again.They all seemed to be having a wonderful time teasing Severus. The other boy and girl stood to the side watching in amusement and fear.

"Dear diary," Sirius started much to the fear of the dirty blonde and Severus himself. " I love Lily Evans more than I can bear! She is the sweetest girl I have ever met. I love her and have loved her since the moment I set eyes on her! I love her more than Dumbledore loves his lemon drops! I wish I could touch her red hair! I wish that I could hold her!"
