A/N: I have been reading a lot of SB/RL slash recently and I've decided to try a story of my own. This is my 1st attempt at writing this kind of a fic. Hopefully you like it! Read and Review Please!

1st Year: Day 1- Hogwarts

Remus sat by himself in the last compartment of the train. He was reading one of his textbooks, The Standard Book of Spells- Grade 1, while humming a song quietly. He had been on the train for several hours and no one had bothered him yet.
He heard a group of students walk by his compartment door and looked up in alarm. Remus was a strange boy because he didn't want to make any friends. In fact, he had promised his father he wouldn't get close to anyone while he was at Hogwarts. He sighed in relief as the children passed by his door and relaxed back into his seat as he recalled the conversation he had with his parents on Platform 9 ¾.
"I still don't know about this John," his mother had whispered nervously to his Father as Remus prepared to board the train.
"He has to go Emily. He has to learn to control his magic. You know he is very powerful and if he doesn't go to Hogwarts he can hurt someone else or himself," his father replied tiredly.
"I know John but… he's so young and I just worry… especially during full moons. And what if someone finds out? His life could be ruined," his mother said.
"Mum please be quiet. Someone could hear you," Remus said looking around nervously.
John Lupin sighed and knelt down to face his son. "Remus, listen to me," he said in barely a whisper, "I know you are excited to go school and you are going to do very well. You deserve this Remus, no one should be able to take it away from you. You are one of the smartest wizards your age, one of the most talented wizards I've ever meet. BUT there are people out there who WANT to stop you from going to Hogwarts. And they are not just the people at the Ministry. They are students at this school; people you may one day think are your friends. Most people are ignorant Remus, they hold on to old prejudice and are too scared to look past stereotypes. You can trust no one you meet. You should be suspicious of anyone and everyone. Sadly, you are here to learn and nothing else."
Remus frowned at his father, "I understand Dad. I'm going to try my best in my classes. I'll make sure I listen to my Professors and I will always make sure to get to the Tree in time. Nothing is going to go wrong."
"No Remus, I don't think you completely understand. What I am trying to say is… you can't have any friends Remus. You can't let anyone get close enough to figure out your secret. It's not fair, but you have to promise me that you'll keep your distance from all the students," his father said sadly.
Remus looked at his father with a frown on his face but nodded, "I promise Dad. I understand."

Remus had every intention of keeping his promise to his Father and so far everything was going well. He hadn't seen many students and no one had bothered to talk to him. He sat up straight as the train pulled into King's Cross and sighed. "Well," he said to himself, "only seven more years of this."

"Black, Sirius," McGongall said holding the Sorting Hat above a stool. Sirius grimaced up at the Professor and huffed as he walked forward. He had been dreading this day for months now. He knew what the sorting hat was going to say. It was going to sort him into Slytherin with the rest of his good-for-nothing family. Then he would spend 7 years trying his best to pretend they didn't exist while being courted by dozens of pureblood girls who wanted to marry him for his fortune and good 'breeding.' After he graduated he would go into the family business, whatever that meant, and be expected to marry within two years of leaving Hogwarts. By this point all of the spunk and character would have been beaten out of him and he would actually agree with his family and their ludicrous ideas. He would than spend the rest of his life brainwashing his own children to believe in pureblood perfection and pressuring them to make the same decisions he had.
He inhaled deeply as he sat on the stool and felt the sorting hat drop over his eyes. "Hello Mr. Black," said the hat, "this should be a quick one but let's take a quick look." The hat was quiet for a minute before it said, "Well, well, well Mr. Black, I'm a little surprised at what I find here. A real rebellious attitude, fresh ideas, an open-mind, cunning, brave, loyal and smart, very smart. You are a real pickle. May I ask where you want to be sorted? You'd do well in almost any house."
Sirius sat up straight, "I've never really thought about where I want to be sorted. I just assumed I'd be put in Slytherin like the rest of my family."
"Is that where you want me to put you? I admit I'm a little surprised because I can see you think very differently than the rest of your family, but if that he what you want you will do well there."
"No, no!" Sirius thought, "Anywhere but Slytherin."
"An excellent decision Mr. Black. Well its going to have to be… GRYFFINDOR," the hat yelled.
Sirius smirked as Professor McGongall took the hat off his head and he heard several students gasp in surprise. But he was absolutely grinning when he reached the Gryffindor table and heard his cousin Bellatrix scream, "NO!"
'Yes,' Sirius thought to himself as the sorting continued 'this was going to be an interesting year.'

"This is great," James Potter yelled, "Were going to have the best year! I can't believe you got sorted into Gryffindor with me and ditched those greasy Slytherins."
"I know," Sirius said smiling while laying on his four poster bed, "we need to start planning pranks to play on Snivellus."
James laughed and then turned to look at the other occupants of the first year dormitory. "So what are your names?"
A small boy who looked a lot like a rat glanced up nervously, "Peter, Peter Pettigrew."
"Nice to meet you Peter," James said with a friendly smile and then turned to the other boy who frowned slightly.
"My name is Remus Lupin," he said and turned back to his book.
"What are you reading?" James asked stepping towards the Lupin boy.
Lupin looked up a little alarmed and said, "uh, just a book for Charms class. I thought I should get ahead, just in case."
"Oh well, Sirius and I are going to play Exploding Snaps if you would like to join us," James said.
Remus smiled warmly but shook his head, "I should be getting to bed," he said and hoped off his bed and made his way to the bathroom.
James ruffled his hair and looked at Sirius with a raised eyebrow, "Strange kid huh?"
Sirius nodded quietly but couldn't seem to take his eyes off the bathroom door.

A/N: So this is the end of chapter one. It's going to start speeding up after this point. I only planning on hitting upon important moments or days in Sirius and Remus' relationship, so it should be less than 10 chapters long. I just thought the day when they first meet deserved some special attention. Next up: Sirius gets Remus out of his shell, the Marauders are born and the boys start to figure out Remus secret. PLEASE REVIEW!
