Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the Harry Potter universe that you, the reader, may recognize.
Many of you may recognize this but then i took it down, and up and down the rollercoaster we went. Point is, i'm revamping it a little and posting it year by year. Thank you for your patience!
In Another Lifetime
-First Year-
A Beginning Like Any Other
They had met in their First-Year, just like any other. Remus Lupin was what he called himself, Accalia Selwyn was what she called herself.
Half-blood with a terrible secret was what he was, Pureblood with Pureblood parents was what she was.
A fine, respectable Pureblood witch married to a fine respectable Pureblood wizard of her parent's choice was what was expected of her. Married to whomever he deemed fit, doing what made him happy was what was expected of him.
They were polar opposites, they had decided. But it was their mutual interests in the Chudley Cannons, Chocolate Frog Cards, Transfiguration and dragons that had brought them to commonplace.
Satisfied, he had extended a hand.
"Friends?"
She had smiled back, taking his hand. "Why not?"
Naturally, they both had been more than a little shattered when he had been sorted into Gryffindor, she into Slytherin. Apart from the obvious House rivalry, it held a bit of another barrier; Accalia's had found friendship with young witches and wizards with Pureblood egos as large as themselves. Remus had found friendship with three boys and three boys only; James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. Three boys who held no prejudice, or grudges against any particular person.
A stark contrast indeed.
Two sides of a coin they were.
Heads and Tails.
Light and Dark
But of course, no amount of radiant energy or pieces of copper would ever stop the two.
