AN: Remus Lupin is now Harry's age and not a teacher.
I sat stiff-backed beside a dark skinned girl with sleek curls of brown trickling down her back.
"I'm Rynee Winchester," She smiled and me and set down the book she had read, "New to Hogwarts- what's the 4-0-1 around here?" I blinked at her blankly before coming up with an answer.
"I-I'm Remus Lupin-"
"Really?" She asked as a strange grin rippled across her face.
"Yes? Have we met?" Light brown strands of hair fell into my eyes but I quickly brushed it away.
"Oh uh-"
"What is this? Loopey Lupin trying to make a friend?" I turned around to see- of course. Ron freakin Wesley. He always had it out from me ever sense I befriend Harry Potter. He was currently in the bathroom. Ron strutt over to me with a sneer plastered over his face.
"What do you want Ronald?" I groaned, "I know you're poor but do you really need to bully others for lunch money?" Ron looked taken aback.
"That's is Loopey!" He lunged at me. I wriggled beneath him to no avail.
"Hey stop it!" Rynee snapped, "Get off of him!"
"Oh shut it!" Ron growled as he spat on my face. Anger flared inside of me. No, I thought, Control the wolf. But some parts of me were just too hard to resists. My fist met Ron's face before I could stop myself.
"Ow you prick!" Ron bellowed as he cradled his bleeding nose.
"Oops," I said quietly.
"Children is what is going on?" Professor McGonagall's face appeared behind Ron. Oh great.
"Ron fell and hit his nose on the table," Rynee said innocently pointing at the table in front of us, "It looks pretty bad,"
"Is this true Ron?" Ron glared at me then Rynee but grumbled in agreement. I guess my getting in trouble wouldn't be worth his getting in trouble. Once everyone disperse back into their own seats I turned to Rynee.
"Thanks for that back there, I really don't need to get detention before school starts," I joked. Rynee nodded knowingly.
"No problem I hate bullies- that's actually why I transferred to Hogwarts. What year are you?" She inquired.
"6th,"
"Me too! I'm in Gryffindor, Dumbledore had be use the Sorting Hat when I enrolled a few weeks ago," She explained. A smile tugged at the corner of my lips.
"Is that so? I too am in Gryffindor,"
"Could we be friends?" She asked. I nearly laughed. It wasn't often someone would ask me that.
"I'd like that,"
Rynee POV
My clothes fit perfectly in the trunk at the end of the beds they had here. Maybe I could make this work- for just a little while. Until I got Remus where I needed him. I flopped onto my bed lazily and enjoyed the moment of peace and quiet. No worries. No problems. That was until my roommate came in. A bushy haired girl with an armful of books and a suitcase behind. She grunted and struggled to get her things past the doorway as I watched in amusement. A huge orange cat with a squashed in face gingerly lept onto my bed and began purring.
"What is that?" I yelped. The girl groaned and snapped her fingers. Everything lifted from her arms and placed itself where it needed to go in a graceful manner.
"I don't know why I didn't just do that," She said to herself, "That is my cat Crookshanks, I'm Hermione Granger. Your roommate,"
"Ryne Winchester," I said pointing to myself.
"Oh! Remus was just talking about-" She cut herself off and opened up a book.
"Remus was talking about me?" A smirk formed itself onto my face. Hermione peeked over her books sheepishly.
"Yes but you can't tell him I told you. He would just kill me,"
"How do you know Remus?" I asked trying to keep it casual. If him and Hermione had something going on between them my whole plan would be at ruins.
"We're old friends. Harry's his best friend and Harry's girlfriend," She explained. Good she's taken.
"I see, I hope I can get in on your little trio," I said silkily. Hermione raised her eyebrows at me.
"Yeah Remus seems to like you well enough," She said slowly.
"Great," I said perkily.
