The Marauder Years – Remus' first love

HELLO! This my first fan fiction, I'm an avid writer and this is a story I have wanted to write for so long, so I hope I do it justice! The Marauders is an era I'd love JK to write about but until that day I dream of I'll have to make it up myself! Hehe!
Please review! LOTS OF LOVE!

Chapter1 – A new year a new start

REMUS'S POINT OF VEIW

I smiled to myself as I watched 3 fresh faced, innocent first years run through the barrier for platform 9¾. They reminded me of myself back when I first started Hogwarts, the oversized robes, the excitement, the hustle and the bustle. I'm in my fifth year now, my O.W.L. year.
A loud whistle interrupted my train of thoughts and made me jump. I heard the sounds of soft chuckling from behind me.
"Remus," my Dad still laughing, "I think that's your call to get on the train, do you need a hand with your trunk son?"
"I'm not a first year anymore Dad!" I mockingly joked to my Father giving him a cheeky wink, "I'll be fine, thanks though."
I turned to look at my weeping Mother, her strawberry blonde hair clinging to her tear ridden face.
"Oh Mum, will there ever be a year you don't cry!" I embraced my Mother tightly and kissed her on the forehead, it was once her hugging and kissing me but I tower over her now so it's my turn to comfort her.
"I only cry because I'll miss you, the house is always so empty when you go back to school. Anyway get going, I'll see you at Christmas! Love you and don't get into trouble Remus Lupin especially now you're a prefect! And keep James, Sirius and little Peter out of trouble!"
"Love you Mum and I won't I promise, but I can't promise about the others!" I stuck my tongue out and grinned sheepishly.
"See'ya son!" My Dad said with a quick kiss planted on top of my head.
"Bye Mum, Bye Dad!"
With that I boarded the magnificent scarlet train that was the Hogwarts Express.
I waved to my proud dotting parents as the train left the station as did the hundreds of other students, and soon as my Mums pink cardigan faded into the distance I set off to find the marauders compartment.
After 10 minutes of pushing and shoving I finally slipped into compartment 18.
"MOONY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!"
"REMUS! FINALLY!"
"HEY REMUS, GOOD SUMMER?"
"ALRIGHT YOU 3!" I smiled down to my 3 best friends James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew.

James is the chief mischief maker in the marauders, he has black untameable hair that frames his pale white face, circular framed glasses that he claims are 'stylish' (trust me they aren't!) but James is good looking never the less.
Sirius Black, is the schools rebel. He's caught himself up in the whole muggle punk scene and is always trying to get me into muggle bands like the 'sex pistols' and 'the clash', no I've never heard of them either! He also has jet black hair that falls into his eyes elegantly, in a way James could never achieve. Sirius has girls flocking at his feet, apparently he has 'the face of an angel and the sexy grey eyes of a god' – Alice Prewett's words not mine!
Then there's Peter, he's small and dumpling like. He has a slight stutter and watery blue eyes, he is far from being good looking like James or Sirius, buts he's kind and has a good heart so we adopted him into the Marauders when we saved him from being cursed in his second year by Bellatrix Black, Sirius' fucked up Slytherin cousin.
And I'm Remus Lupin, the quiet bookish one. I'm also the schools resident werewolf bet you weren't expecting that! HAHA! But yes only the Marauders know about my fury little problem... And last year they even became unregistered Animagi so they could stay with me on the full moon! They are good friends regardless of the prankster reputations they have at school. Being the werewolf my nicknames 'Moony', Sirius is a dog in his animal form he's nicknamed 'Padfoot, James is a stag therefore he was christened 'Prongs' and Peter ironically pulled the short straw again and is a rat, 'Wormtail'.

"Fucking hell Moony, what are you wearing!" Jeered Sirius, "what's with the suit!"
"I'm going through a 1960's revival stage get used to it, this was cool to the muggle's back then!"
"EXACTLY! BACK THEN! How about I treat you to some leathers? We could be twins Remmy!" Said Sirius in his mocking sweet voice.
"Piss off I like looking smart you greasy haired git!"
James and Peter burst out laughing.
"It's true Sirius you're starting to remind me of Snivellus!" Chipped in James.
"I DO NOT LOOK LIKE SNIVELLUS!"
And at this the apartment door slid open and James beautiful girlfriend Lily slid in with a girl I did not recognise.
"Morning boys! This is my friend Ivy she's new this year."
"Hellooooo beautiful! I'm the one and only Sirius Black!" Sirius grinned cheekily.
"Hello Sirius Black it's nice to meet you." Ivy said with a wink, I noticed she had a strong Irish accent.
"H-h-hi I-I-I'm Peter Pettigrew."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Peter." She smiled kindly.
"I'm James," James said with a smile.
"Hello, you're Lily's boyfriend then, you're all she talks about these days!" She laughed and James looked sheepish.
"Oh shhhhh, leave me alone!" Lily flicked her fiery red hair off her shoulder and perched herself in James's lap embracing him in a long passionate kiss. "EWWWWW STOP IT! GET A ROOM!" Cried Sirius.
I raised my eyes from my book and laughed at Sirius whilst Lily jokingly hit him across the head, I caught Ivy's eyes and we were locked in a deep gaze for what felt like minutes but could have only been seconds.
"I'm Remus, Remus Lupin." I eventually managed to spit out with a small smile.
"Hello Remus, I really like your suit not many boys could pull that off." She said blushing and took a seat next to me.
"Thank you," I chuckled going red.
'YOU FANCY HER!' Mouthed Sirius.
'SHUT UP YOU PRAT!' I mouthed back.

Ivy had shoulder length wavy deep red hair with full bangs that framed her massive dark brown eyes perfectly. Her skin was the palest and most pure I had ever seen. She wore a long flowing orange skirt with a baggy cream blouse tucked in; around her neck she wore a variety of beads. She was perfect.

"What are you reading?" She asked me.
"Errmmm... How to spot werewolves..." James scoffed and Lily gave him a warning glare.
"How fascinating! There is so much prejudice against lycanthropes in society and it's absolutely disgusting, these poor people have to go through so much pain and when they are in their human form they are out casted, it's horrid." Her cheeks flushed red, "Sorry, I'm going on, it's just me Mam raised me not to judge people who aren't seen as being normal, she's wants to help werewolves see, she's an inventor, and she is working on a potion called wolfsbane. This potion will be revolutionary Remus, it doesn't stop the transformation unfortunately but it does let the person keep their human mind during the full moon."
My eyes widened, could this be for real! Could I really one day keep my mind during the full moon!
Ivy was watching me intensely, as were the other four.
"That's amazing!" I said when I finally spoke, "You're so passionate about the subject. You're so..." I froze for a couple of seconds "...perfect" I murmured under my breath.
She let out a quite laugh and I caught Lily giving us a knowing look whilst James, Peter and Sirius all looked puzzled.
It was then that I knew I was falling in love with Ivy.
