Where It All Began: Marauder Era
A/N: My first try at writing a chapter length-thing-amount story… Please be nice!
Chapter 1: Yes Mum
Remus:
"Remmy dear! We have to leave in an hour for King's Cross Station! You have to get up!" Anna Lupin says as she walks down the hall to her son's room.
"Remmy?" she calls as she walks through his doorway. She looks in his bed and sees its empty.
"Remus!" she calls nervously. A head pokes up from the bed.
"Morning Mum!" he says as he gets off the floor. He is already dressed, wearing jeans and a long-sleeved red tee.
"What were you doing on the floor Remus?" she asks exasperatly.
"Reading," he tells her as he holds up 'Hogwarts A History.' Anna sighs and thinks, 'he is going to go blind from reading so much!'
"Shouldn't you have been sleeping? Full moon is tomorrow."
Remus involuntarily shudders and says, "I was nervous and couldn't sleep."
"Come on, honey. Breakfast is ready." She says with a sigh.
Anna Lupin is a muggle who married John Lupin, a muggle-born. John Lupin is prejudiced against werewolves, vampires, and any other sort of 'dark' creatures. He tried to pass laws against them, tried to get them all arrested, or get them all killed which made Frenrir Greyback very 'upset'. John, not knowing it was a full moon, sent his four-year-old son out to the shed to get his toolbox. Greyback attacked Remus about half-way to the shed.
Remus was taken to St.Mungo's. When the healers informed Anna and John that Remus was now a werewolf, John left. John still works at the ministry and still tries to do the same things to werewolves as he did before his only son became one. Anna and Remus haven't heard from him since he left.
Remus walks downstairs and sits at the table. He takes no more than two bites of porridge before he pushes it away. Full moon will either make werewolves very hungry or makes them lose their appetite. (Along with other things.)
"Remus, we have to leave soon. Can you get your trunk?"
"Yes mum." He says and he goes upstairs.
Peter:
Little Peter Pettigrew walks into the hall of his large house to find his parents door wide open. Both his parents are sound asleep, his father slightly snoring. He looks at his watch and sees that it is 10:30. His eyes grow wide.
"Mum! Dad! I have to be at the train station in an hour!"
His mum, Reanna, jumps out of bed, waves her wand over herself and is suddenly dressed in a navy blue skirt and white blouse.
"Bye Peter." His father says, not looking up or even opening his eyes.
"Come on Peter! Go get in the car, your trunks already there." Reanna tells him as she heads out of the door.
When they are both in the car and had begun driving Reanna finally speaks up.
"I want you to stay out of trouble, Peter. I don't want any letters sent home about you misbehaving. You are to stay away from anyone in the Blck family or the Malfoy family, and anyone below us. I don't want you to be friends with any unworthy people.
Peter rolls his eyes, crosses his fingers, and says "Yes Mum."
"I told Anastasia Potter to tell James to look for you at the station. You will sit with him on the train."
"Yes Mum."
The Pettigrew's are friends with the Potter family. Peter and James always have to act formal around each others parents and never have actually talked as themselves.
Maybe we'll be friends at Hogwarts… Peter thought to himself as the chauffer drove them to King's Cross Station.
"Peter are you listening to me?!"
"Yes Mum."
James:
"James? Are you awake yet sweetie?" Anastasia called through her son James' room.
"Yeah Mum, I'm up!" He calls back to her.
"We have to leave! Your dad can't go, he has an emergency at the ministry. He sends his love though." She tells him as he walks through his door, wearing brown shorts and a blue Tornados t-shirt.
They get in the car and Anastasia starts the car.
"Promise me you won't get in trouble James. I don't want to hear about any pranks."
James sighs and crosses his fingers behind his back.
"Yes Mum."
"I told Reanna that you'd sit with Peter on the train. Is that okay?"
"Yes Mum."
"And watch out for the Black family! They're no good…Except for a couple odd balls in the family…"
"Yes Mum."
Sirius:
"Sirius, dear! It's time for us to leave! It's ten o'clock!" Walburga Black yells up to her son,
"Coming Mum!" he yells happily back to her.
Sirius was elated! He was finally going to Hogwarts today!
He ran out his bedroom door and into the halls of number 12 Grimmauld Place where he met up with his little brother Regulus. Regulus was a year younger than Sirius, but except for height looked exactly like Sirius.
"Hey Reggie!" Sirius says happily to his little "bro".
"Morning Siri'" Regulus said unhappily. Sirius's brow knits together. His brother was never unhappy! He was always…perky!
"What's wrong, Reg?"
"You're leaving today! I'm gonna be here alone! Do you know how boring it is here?!"
Sirius smiles sadly at his little brother.
"I'll owl you at least twice a week, Reg. You're my best friend!"
"You're probably gonna make tons of new friends and forget all about your little brother." Regulus says, keeping his head down so as not to look at Sirius.
"Well…you're probably right. After this year you're just gonna be my pathetic little brother." Sirius says while smirking.
Regulus shot his head up to look at his brother with wide eyes.
Sirius laughs and says, "I'm just kidding Reggie!"
"Boys, hurry up!" Their mother yells to them from the kitchen.
"Yes Mum!" They call together and run into the kitchen.
Walburga and Orion Black are standing together looking proudly at Sirius.
"Today," Orion begins, "Is a grand day. Yet another Black is going to enter Slytherin house. That house is lucky to have you son, very lucky indeed."
"Thank you father." Sirius says holding his head up.
"We had better get to the station, we'll have to weed through all the muggles. Walburga says and frowns.
"Stupid muggles." Orion says glaring into air as if a muggle was standing there.
"Don't you agree Sirius?"
"Yes Mum." Sirius replies as they step out the doors of the kitchen and into the large living room with the huge fire place.
Walburga and Orion go ahead of Regulus and Sirius saying "King's Cross Station, London" as they go.
Regulus and Sirius turn towards each other.
"Stupid muggles." Regulus says impersonating their father's deep voice.
"Waste of space and air if you ask me! Don't you agree?" Sirius says using a very shrill voice that sounds almost exactly like Walburga's.
Sirius and Regulus put their fingers on their noses to make their voices sound nasally and say, "Yes Mum!"
