It was the second year at Hogwarts. Sirius was walking down Kings Cross Station looking for the sign that said '9' on it. He was with his parents and quit frankly, he would like to get away from them as soon as possible. His mother was dressed up as if she was a model. She had her hair in a tight bun and a long black dress with diamond designed waist. She had a silver bracelet on that wrapped around her wrist like a snake. On her neck was a white pearl necklace. Although this, she had a permanent scowl on her face acting as if she was above all. All the muggles were staring at them. In Sirius's opinion, she was a little too uptight.
Sirius finally spotted his destination and ran through the wall with his mother walking behind him. He looked around at his surrounding. He always felt a surge of happiness going back to school. Going back to see his best friends more importantly. Right when he thought of them he spotted a messy mop of black hair. He went to run over to them when someone grabbed his arm.
"Remember to walk. You are a Black who walks with dignity and no hast" his mother lectured. He nodded and walked with the most stuff position he could muster towards his friend. Mrs. Black didn't even seem sad about their separating for a year. She had been like this since she found out he got sorted into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin. It was quite a disappointment to her and now favored Regulus more than before.
"Oy! James!". He was correct on thinking that it was his friend. James whipped around and wore a huge grin on his face. Checking to make sure his mother was out of view, Sirius grabbed onto James and gave him a tight hug. He had missed James tremendously over the summer. Now He wonder where Remus was. He had also missed him very much. He practically couldn't stop thinking about him. "Where is that bookworm, Remus?". James looked at him and then pointed behind Sirius. He turned around and saw spotted Remus moving towards them, pulling his trolley. Following him was Peter Pettigrew trying to catch up.
James and Sirius ran towards them in excitement. Peter saw some kumblerniks, whatever that was, and excused himself to get a closer look. Sirius turned towards Remus and noticed that he looked tired and had some scratches on his hands. "Remus, what happened to your hands?" Remus looked at his hands then tried to put them behind his hands but Sirius was quick to grab them.
"I-I er, I was climbing a tree and then fell and, uh, I tried to catch myself on a branch but ended up hurting my hands"
Sirius wasn't believing it. Remus never like climbing tree's no matter how much James and Sirius tried to convince him to. "Why were you climbing a tree? I thought you didn't like doing things like that. Everything's fine at home, right?" Sirius had to ask. He's seen Remus's parent before and they look like kind people.
Sirius's own parents got physically some times but never left a scar. It was mostly verbal abuse though. He knew it wasn't good but it was his parents, what could he do? But if anyone was putting a hand on his Remus then he would be quick to do something. No one hurts Remus and gets away with it!
Remus cut his thoughts off. "It was just that um... my parents were worried I wasn't getting enough sunshine so they sent me to read outside. I, er, wanted a good spot to read where I could have sum sunlight and shade because it was hot So I climbed up to a branch so yah that's what happened" Remus looked over at James, who was thinking the same thing as Sirius, and met his intense gaze and then James relaxed. He was content with the knowledge that Remus's parents were good ones.
Sirius relented and believed that Mr. And Mrs. Lupin were good parents and probably did make Remus go outside. However, he knew Remus was lying about the cuts. Sirius always knew when Remus was lying because he usually chewed on his bottom lip. No one noticed this except for him. He would stop pestering Remus for now, but now had a goal.
Sirius would find out at some point. He would find out whats wrong with his best friend. What could Remus possibly be hiding from him?
