AN- This is the first chapter, and I um hope people like it. If I can figure out how to get them together, the rest of the story will become slash. Please rate and help me by giving me ideas on how to get them together. (If this seems kinda odd or choppy, it's probly cause I wrote it from 12 am till 2:30 am so I was kinda tired and stuff.)

Disclaimer-none of the characters or names of places are mine they are all J.K. Rowling's. Speaky wishes she was creative enough to create characters and a story.

Eleven year old Remus Lupin had not had any friends since before he had been bitten by a werewolf when he was five years old. He was afraid that if any of his friends found out about him being a werewolf, they would be afraid of him. That was until he met James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew on their first train ride to school.

Remus had found a seat in one of the last empty compartments, on the Hogwarts school train, not wanting to be in contact with anyone, so that they could not find out about his secret. Right before the train started, two tall eleven year olds came hurrying down the train looking in all of the compartments to find room for both of them to sit together. Seeing Remus's nearly empty compartment, they opened the compartment door and the one with the long black hair looked at Remus and asked, "Mind if we sit with you? It is the only compartment with enough room for both of us."

Remus shook his head saying that he did not mind, and the two sat down. 'Just as long as they don't ask much about me,' thought Remus.

"My name is Sirius Black," said the first boy, holding out his hand.

"My name is James Potter," said the boy who had short black hair that never seemed to lie flat, and offered his hand too.

"Remus Lupin," said Remus shaking both boys' hands, noting that Sirius had friendly grey eyes, and James had soft hazel eyes. He realized that he liked both immediately. Remus had shoulder length tawny hair with lighter blond, almost silver, highlights. His eyes were a shimmery gold with silver on the inner rim of the iris. He has always been on the short side, though not as short as the plump, blue watery eyed boy who ran in after a few minutes. He had white blond hair, and was breathing heavily.

"Help... me! He says... he's gonna... hex me!" the boy gasped as he ran to the back of the compartment. Just then the compartment door to the compartment was thrust open by a boy with greasy brown hair holding a wand. All three of the boys who were already in the compartment stepped between the two boys before the greasy haired one could come in.

"Who are you and why does this guy say you are going to hex him?" asked Remus.

"I am Severus Snape, and none of your business. Get out of the way."

"I think not."

"Get out of the way or I will hex you too," the boy growled.

"Get out of the compartment, now," Lupin replied in a more menacing growl than Snape's.

"Make me."

"Alright, I will," Remus muttered something that the other boys didn't understand, and Snape flew across the small hall way and crashed into the wall knocked out for a few minutes. Lupin then closed and locked the compartment. He turned around, and looked at the boy he had just saved. He, Sirius, and James were staring open mouthed at Remus.

"Hello, my name is Remus Lupin," he said holding out his hand to the boy.

"P-Peter Pettigrew. Th-thank you."

"No problem." For the rest of the trip the four boys talked, joked, and ate candy that they bought from the lady who came around with the cart of sweets. From then on they were friends. All four of them were sorted into Gryffindor house, and stayed in the same dorm. They told each other everything, except for Lupin, who left out that he was a werewolf for fear that his friends would hate him. Every month, he would be taken from the dorm, and put in a tunnel leading to the Shrieking Shack by Madam Pomfrey. Eventually Sirius figured it out, and told James and Peter. Contrary to Remus's fears, they all thought it was really cool, and set about trying to become Animagi to run with Remus while he was a werewolf. When they told him they knew, he was afraid that they wouldn't want to be his friends anymore, but was very relieved that they liked him even more than before. From then on, they were closer than ever, though got closer when they finally became Animagi. They were known around the school for all of their tricks, and happened to acquire the name the Marauders.

AN- RATE RATE RATE please! Speaky hopes that the next chapter will be a lot better.
