A/N: Hey, this is only my second fan fiction, I know it is really slow, I will probably rewrite it later on, but please R&R, I need constructive criticism
Chapter 1
A young boy with sandy blond hair and auburn eyes looked up toward the woman beside him. Both of them had on shabby clothes, but the woman carried an air about herself that showed her self confidence. She looked down and smiled at the boy before taking his hand, "Come my dear, we don't want to miss the train, now do we?" The boy smiled, and they duo started to walk towards Kings Cross station.
Once on the platform, the boy looked up to his mother, tears shining through his eyes, "I'll miss you mama." He said before turning around and hugging her as hard as he could, as if he let go for a bit, she would disappear. Mrs. Lupin smiled down to her son before she kneeled too see him eye to eye. "Now Remus, you remember what your father and I told you, right dear?" Remus nodded, standing a little straighter. "You must not tell anyone. Do you understand? No one can know about who you are. Now I want you to go on that train, make new friends, and have a great time at Hogwarts, okay?"
The boy nodded hugging his mother one last time before grabbing his trunk and getting on the train. He turned around just in time to see his mother turn around and pass through the barrier.
Forlorn and alone, Remus set off to the back of the train, where he found an empty compartment, pulled out a book and started reading.
All of a sudden, Remus was pulled out of his tranquility by the shriek of a whistle and the sudden movement of the train. They were off, and there was nothing he could do about it now. Tucking a strand of his straw colored hair behind his ear, he once again emerged himself in his book, trying to ignore his ever growing fear of the future coming towards him.
A good hour and two books later, Remus, just about to grab another book, was interrupted by the compartment door being slid open, reveling a girl and a boy. The girl had long red hair and brilliant green eyes while the boy had black hair and cold black eyes. The girl smiled before asking politely, "Do you mind if we join you, the compartment we were in got crowded."
Surprised, Remus put his new book down before nodding. The two kids came in, pulling their trunks behind them. The girl looked over at Remus's pile of books and then at the new one on his lap. Grinning, she sat next him, glowing with excitement. "I never thought I would find someone who likes to read as much as I do!" She exclaimed, gesturing at the many books. "I'm Lily by the way. Lily Evans. And that there is Severus Snape." She pointed toward the boy who sat opposite of them.
"Oh, well I'm Remus. Remus Lupin."
"Eh bien, là, bonjour il Remus, nice to meet you.(Well, then, hello there Remus, nice to meet you.)" Lily stuck out her hand, smiling.
Remus couldn't help but return the smile, shaking her hand, "La mienne est d'autant plesure madame(The pleasure is all mine)"
Lily's eyes turned wide before squealing and hugging him. Shocked, Remus turned to look at the boy, but Severus just smiled.
"She's happy someone else can speak French." He explained, chuckling at the frightened boy.
"Oh, well then, Pouvez-vous me serrer arrêter s'il vous plaît, je suis très mal à l'aise?(can you please stop hugging me, I am very uncomfortable?)"
Lily smiled, before letting go of the frightened boy, and the three children relaxed, and waited for the train ride to end.
A/N: Hey, Please let me know what you think, if you don't like, I can change something or just not go on. But I will not continue without some people telling me they like it. Thanks.
