Remus Lupin and The Act of Puppy Love!

Summary: Remus Lupin was always terrified of meeting people. He never got to play with the kids in his street when he was younger because his parents were to scared he'd hurt someone. As he progressed through Hogwarts he made three unlikely friends and one very unlike lover. This is what they call, Puppy Love. RemusXSirius!

It was September 1st 1971. There was a boy. Well not just a boy. He was a Wizard. And not just any Wizard... He was also... A Werewolf. He was dressed in normal Muggle clothes and was walking with his rather over protective parents through Kings Cross Station in London. They stopped at the Platform numbers 9 and 10.

"Now Remus, be a good boy."

"Yes mum."

"Oh and owl us when you get there."

"Yes mum." The boy named Remus said almost irritably to his mother. She placed her hands on her boys slight flushed cheeks and smiled sadly. She placed a kiss on his forehead and pulled him into a hug in which he did gladly accept. He then turned to his father who smiled at him.

"Have a good time son."

He pulled him into a tight hug and then they watched him as he nervously pushed his trolly through the barrier to a whole new world.

A massive scarlet red steam train waited, smoke already puffing up from it, as it waited patiently for the students to board it's large and spacious cars. Remus Lupin pushed his trolly forward his big golden brown eyes staring at the ground and his longish brown hair falling over them and hiding his face as he walked.

He was so nervous. He was so scared. He knew if he did make any friends they'd find out about his condition. Him being a beast... A foul and dangerous beast. A Werewolf. He shook his head feeling all the colour he had in his cheeks disappear in a matter of seconds. He felt sick to his empty stomach just thinking that he'd be alone again.

He shook his head making his hair fly round his neck and face like a lion shaking its mane. He knew he was being stupid and stopped when he decided he should bored the train. He pulled his trunk off his trolly and with great difficulty dragged it towards the train. He growled in frustration when he couldn't seem to haul his trunk over the gap.

"Need a hand there?" Came a voice that was rather soft but was still deeper than his own. Remus froze and slowly raised his eyes. A rather tall 11 year old boy stood in front of him, wearing a rather charming smile. He had light skin, grey eyes that seemed to twinkle with a sense of mischief, and slightly curled raven hair that came to his already broad shoulders.

"I-uh do you mind?" He asked, looking down again, and a nice pink flooded into his cheeks. The other boy seemed to laugh and replied,

"Nah wouldn't have asked otherwise, and anyway can't leave a pretty face like you struggling can we?"

The pink became red and filled his cheeks at an alarming rate. The other boy lifted the other end of his trunk and rested in the train. Remus again met the boys grey eyes again.

"Um... Th-thanks." He said quickly.

"Don't mention it. I've gotta dash but of course I'll see you round at Hogwarts yeah?"

"Yes." He said quietly. The boys charming smile became an overly large grin. Remus smiled for the first time since he crossed the barrier.

"Great, nice meeting ya."

As he watched his retreating back he thought. He didn't actually know the boys name. That's a helpful start for poor Remus. He sighed and slowly wondered through the train.

With in 10 minutes of walking he found an empty compartment and walked in. He grabbed his book he'd taken with him out of the many others and clicked closed his trunk again. He sat on the train seat and crossed his rather long legs, the book falling open at the exact page in his lap. He smiled happily his big brown eyes reading every word at least twice on each page. He licked his thumb and forefinger (a habit he'd picked up from his father) and flicked the page quicker than one could scream Quidditch (a Wizarding sport). He was so engrossed in the book open in his lap he didn't realise two boys walk in.

"Hmm didn't think I'd see you again until we actually got to the castle." Mentioned the boy who'd helped him only about 30 minutes previous. Remus' head snapped up making his hair fly back with him.

"I... Sorry."

"For what?"

Remus just looked down at his book again his hair hiding the flush of embarrassment. He felt stupid. He was always a person for over apologising even if he didn't know what he'd done or even if he'd done nothing at all.

"Don't know..." He said in barely a whisper, his hand that he used to flick the pages started shaking.

"Hey mate? You alright?" Came a new voice. Remus' mind dared him to look up. He gave in and looked up but just a little bit so he could see what this other boy looked like. A messy mop of black hair apon his head that spiked out in all angles and directions. Light skin as well, round glasses that hid behind them big hazel eyes that seemed to hold the same twinkle of mischief as the other boy.

"I... I'm not used to people and I guess nerves don't help much." He whispered. He averted his eyes and looked out of the window as the fields and countryside whizzed passed.

"Surely you've had friends and things? If not we can always be some for you... If ya want?"

Remus' heart gave a great leap. Friends. He'd have friends! Hopefully real friends. Remus smiled slightly still looking out of the window.

"I'd like that." He said quietly.

"Well then. I'm Sirius Black and this here's my best friend James Potter."

"Remus Lupin." He replied and chanced a glance at the two boys.

"Well Remus Lupin, it's nice to meet you properly." Mentioned the boy now registered as Sirius Black in his head.

"Yeah don't know how you have no friends mate. Even just looking at you I can tell your a good person." Mentioned the one called James.

"Thanks. That means a lot. It's nice to meet you two as well." He replied, his heart swelling with a sort of happiness... A warm happiness that clutched his heart so hard he thought it may burst inside his chest. He'd only just met James and Sirius... But this meeting was the start of a very, VERY strong friendship.

Very strong indeed.
