Dark Destiny (Remus Lupin)

3: Marauders Meet

Dinner was pretty bad, Bella was insufferable and mother seemed to encourage it. I ate then headed upstairs to go to bed early. I knew it would take a long time to fall asleep so I layed there with my eyes closed. I thought about planning my year at Hogwarts then remembered what Sirius said about over planning. Stupid, stupid me why can't I be normal. Then I remembered what Sirius said about beating yourself up about things and tried to clear my mind. Most times I enjoyed my day dreams that I would experience whilst falling asleep but I really just wanted to fall asleep.
After begging my mind to finally agreed and let me fall asleep.

I woke up to a large weight on my stomach.
"Bloody hell Sirius" I wheezed in shock trying to push him off.
"Get up hurry breakfast was already served"
I didnt bother getting dressed yet because I was basically half asleep still. I realized there were to many stairs and I tried to make my way down them.
"Come on Adri" Cissy said beckoning me to come eat.
I nodded and walked faster into the dining room to eat with my family. We finished breakfast then rushed around to get our stuff before we missed the train. We got our stuff and took the floo to King's Cross Station. It was packed with muggles who had no idea it was even there. Everyone ran at the wall except I just wanted to slowly walk into it. Mother said goodbye to us except Sirius and Father didn't really say goodbye except I think he mumbled it to Bella.
We boarded the Hogwarts Express and me and Sirius sat down together and talked.
"I'm really nervous about the sorting ceremony."
"Me too, I dont really want to be in Syltherin"
"Aren't they all just houses?" I was a little confused
"The four houses represent your personality. Brave is Gryffindor, trustworthy is Hufflepuff, wisdom is Ravenclaw, and ambition is Slytherin."
"What's wrong with having ambition?"
"There hasn't been a single dark wizard that didn't come from Slytherin"
This seemed like a dumb system. We got back to talking about what we were going to do at Hogwarts.

"You can't just pull pranks all the time. You'll get expelled"
"No, that's only if you get caught" he flashed me his signature grin and I just ruffled his hair.
"Hey! Watch the hair!" I grinned back.
"Please tell me you brought other clothes aside from leather jackets"
"We were supposed to?" He said sarcastically.
We were interrupted by a boy with glasses opening the door to our cabin.
"I'm really sorry to bother you it's just of all the seats left you guys seem like you aren't going to hex me into oblivion"
"Hex you into oblivion? Who are these students?"
"One had black frizzy hair. She was the one that looked mostly like she would hex me the other girl had really light blonde hair"
Me and Sirius looked at each other, "Cissy and Bella"
I turned to the boy, "Bella would absolutely hex you so be careful"
"Sure you can sit here" Sirius said loudly speaking over me.
"That's the boy I ran into at Diagon Alley yesterday" I said to Sirius.
"What's your name?"
"James"
"Hello James I'm Sirius and this is Adrienne"
"Call me Adri" I said shaking his hand.
He looked a little uneasy around me. I've gotten used to it by now, I find I just naturally make people uncomfortable. Merlin guess I can't do anything right, you can't even meet a new person without making them tremble in fear. I rubbed my temples Sirius saw the look on my face and snapped. "Thanks"
James watched in confusion. "What just happened?"
"Nothing I think I just have a migrane"
He seemed to believe it enough. After awhile Sirius and James started talking and I realized how hard it would be to survive school with two pranksters. I didnt join in the conversation even when Sirius would go 'right Adri?'
I looked out the window and was lost in thought. I never really needed to read because I could create my own stories in my head instead. Sirius snapped again.
"What," I hissed
He reclinded a bit. Ever since we were kids and he saw me use nonverbal magic to flip a muggle cat and save us he gets a little scared when I'm mad. James just looked at him impressed. When I didn't get a response I went back to day dreaming. Sirius snapped again.
"Bloody hell dude that's the only think that stops my train of thought so can you not?"
I tried to go back to daydreaming but surprisingly I didnt get anything. I just decided on how I would study and planning outfits and other things
"Guys we're here" I said gesturing to the castle in the distance.
James and Sirius looked out the window to see the castle.
The train stopped and everyone hopped out. We boarded the boats and sat beside two boys.
"Hi" I smiled
"Hello" one of them said.
"I'm Adrienne but everyone calls me Adri, who are you guys?"
"I'm Remus"
Remus was the one who actually said hello back.
"I'm Peter"
"Nice to meet you Peter, I'm Sirius and this is James" Sirius said gesturing to James.
The boat rocked a little at one point and Peter squeaked a bit. But we eventually arrived at the castle.
As we were walking in I almost crashed into a small red haired girl.
"Sorry" she said
"No if was my fault"
"Lily come on" I looked to see who the voice came from and it was a greasy black haired boy. I continued walking to catch up to Sirius.
"Bloody hell will you never wait for me when I crash into people"
"Nope"
I playfully punched him in the arm.
