The Four Marauders: Year One
AN: Hey guys this is my first FanFic, so I don't know it is going to come out. Please excuse the fact that it may be a little messy as I don't know how to set it out. Also, I really don't like Peter Pettigrew so there may be some bashing. :)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter, everything belongs to J.K. Rowling
Chapter 1: Nutcase
"Remus!" Came a voice, jerking Remus John Lupin out of his day dream. His dream of going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Too bad that wasn't possible, because of his... condition. He couldn't go because he has lycanthropy and only a nut case would let him in and risk putting all the other students in danger
"Yes mum!" yelled Remus, he wasn't in a good mood, the full moon was tomorrow night and he got a little snippy around that time. But also it was the anniversary of his attack. today 6 years ago, a werewolf by the name of Fenrir Greyback attacked a 5 year old boy as revenge for his father agreeing to testify against him as an unstable werewolf.
"Come down, your father and I have something very important to tell you!" His mum hollered from down the stairs. Remus sighed and made his way down the stairs into the small comforting kitchen of his house.
"Mum, why did you call me down?" Remus was aware of the fact that his parents were looking excited or in the case of his dad, smug. Mary Lupin simply held out her hand, on it a yellowy letter with emerald green writing on it. Remus gasped and John Lupin grinned. He slowly reached out to take the letter, afraid that it would disappear if he moved to fast.
Mr. R Lupin
The smallest bedroom,
The forest,
WALES
Tears shone in his mothers eyes. "This is it" thought Remus, "I've been accepted, to Hogwarts." He opened the letter and 3 pieces of parchment fell out. he picked the first on which read:

Remus shook himself and tried to calm the thoughts in his mind. "This must be a joke, they don't know about my condition. Then I'll be sent home" he thought.
"Honey, they must know, read the last piece." His mother said kindly. Well he must have spoken out loud.
Remus reached forward and grabbed the last piece of parchment:
Mr. Lupin,
We have been informed of your condition and see no reason why ( as long as the proper precautions are taken) that you should not attend Hogwarts. The finer details will be discussed if you chose to join us here at Hogwarts

"I can't believe it, I'm going to Hogwarts!" said Remus before grabbing a nearby quill to hastily write a reply.
"Remus, we will be going to Diagon Alley as soon as you're ready," informed John. "Oh and son, Happy birthday." As Remus attempted to climb the stairs 10 at a time.
AN: Thats right, he got bitten on his birthday.
