Remus Lupin's PoV
I never expected to be accepted into Hogwarts. Not since that night that changed my life forever. When I first read the letter I thought it must have been a mistake. But when I realized it was for me, I was so excited. When I got my wand, I knew that it was all real, I was going to Hogwarts!
Once I got on the train I started getting nervous. What if everyone found out my secret? What if I bit someone? Dumbledore told me he had everything covered, but how? I sighed; I'll get through this somehow.
The first years were lead off the train by a giant man and we rode boats to get to Hogwarts. It was beautiful. I still can't believe that I'm here.
We entered the castle and met the Deputy Headmistress Professor McGonagall, who told us we would be sorted into one of 4 houses. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. I heard several students talking about what house they what to be in; I don't care what house I get in, I'm just glad to be here.
After a few minutes we were lead into the Great Hall and lined up in front of a hat. Suddenly, the hat came to life and began to sing. I don't even remember what the song was; I was too nervous about the sorting. What if I didn't get sorted into any of the houses? What if they find out I'm a werewolf? They'll probably kick me out and send me back home.
I watched several students get sorted before Professor McGonagall called out "Lupin, Remus." When I heard my name I quickly composed myself, walked up and sat on the stool, and then she put the hat on my head.
It was one of the weirdest feelings I ever had. Like someone was looking through my head. Then I heard a voice.
Hmm this is a tough decision. Very smart and there is courage. And a you're werewolf? Hmm let's, see where shall I put you?
I don't care, I thought, anywhere is fine with me.
Hmmm there's plenty of courage in you I can see that, you just need to find it. Better be…GRYFFINDOR!
I sighed in relief, it was done. I was good enough to be sorted into a house. I was so excited to hear the cheers from the Gryffindor table. I felt so wanted. I ran over to the table and sat down next to a girl with red hair and green eyes. I watched the rest of the sorting much calmer then I was earlier. Maybe, I'll get through this ok after all.
