The platform was magnificent. September 1st, it was his first time arriving. He had no older siblings, nor any younger.
All that was in sight was the rays of light, beaming off the top of many heads, about 700 in total.
The pets flying everywhere, the parents trying to move one way, which the children going the other, t was chaos, something unfamiliar to the boy.
He could see he was different to all the other boys. He knew he had a different quality about him that made him unique.
"Son, You need to try and be careful here, the professors are there to help you every day, and especially at the time of month you need it. I want you to listen to them, do you understand me Remus?" The boy, Remus, aged 11 could fully understand what he was trying to get across. He wanted him safe, and most importantly to not trust anyone with his secret until he gets to know them after a while. He wants him to be safe.
As Remus boarded the train, he noticed he couldn't find a seat, so he preferred to stand, and stood the whole way, until he was stopped by two over-enthusiastic boys, one not much taller, and the other not so much smaller than himself, run as fast as lightning and he saw them run back, as if their lives depended on it.
"You better get changed! Don't wanna be murdered by ghosts on your first day!" The boy who opened his mouth had long hair, it was not black, but not blue. It was in-between. The other boy had glasses that covered his brown eyes, which was very noticeable, unlike the other boy who had very strange coloured hair and eyes, with a large mouth to join.
"Yeah, erm, thanks." Remus didn't have much to say, but followed the two boys to go and get ready for stepping off the train. He noticed a seat, and felt relief as he managed to sit.
"What's your name again?" The boy with the strange hair seemed to get louder and louder, Remus didn't think it was possible, but unfortunately it was.
"You never asked in the first place, But my names Remus. Remus Lupin. And the two of yours may be?" he said it starting with upset, but got pride in himself by the end.
"I'm Sirius, and this is James. Nice to meet you Remus." the boy with the strange hair had been announced as Sirius. The name was familiar, the name of the dog star, and also a child in the Black family, and without a doubt it was him. The other boy, James didn't seem to be comfortable, but that was soon about to change.
