Remus Lupin was sitting on his bed, thinking about his first day of school. He was only 11, and had never been to school before in his life. Neverless, he was prett much excited. He would be making new friends..hopefully. If anyone found out what he was, he might as well not have gone at all. Just then, his mum called him downstairs.
"Remus, dear, we're going to go to Diagon Alley to get your stuff," she said as he entered the kitchen. His dad was there as well. "Maybe you'll meet some kids there."
"I doubt that, mum," Remus sighed.
"Why's that?" his dad asked.
"Oh, I wouldn't know.." Remus said sarcastically, but in a nicer way then some people would(A/N lol). "Maybe being a..you know..will have something to do with it." His parents shook their head and sighed.
"Lets get going, then," his mum said, getting the floo powder out. They shouted "Diagon Alley" and were gone. They landed right outside Gringotts Bank, and they started to look around for his supplies. The first stop was a cauldron shop, where there was already a ton of kids there. Remus was staring at the ground to avoid eye contact with any of them, as if they could see what he truly was. At the end of the shop, where they cheaper cauldrens were, was completely empty, except for two boys.
"Remus, stay here, I'm going to check to see if there are any other ones," his mum said, leaving him alone close by the boys.
"Sirius, you have enough money for a zillion cauldrons, why are we here?" Remus heard one of the kids say.
"Money saving, James, MONEY SAVING," The kid named Sirius said, smacking the other boy over the head slightly.
"Thanks for the concussion, Si," James said, rubbing his head.
"No problem," Sirius said. "Lets just go, we can come back if there isn't anything cheaper."
"Money saving, Sirius, money saving," James said sarcastically under his breath. "I'm going to get one from HERE, cause my mum and dad only gave me a few gallons. It's like they don't trust me with money!"
"Maybe it has to do with that one time where you bought a decade supply of candy from Honeydukes when you were suppose to be getting some new robes," Sirius said. James gave him a look and he smiled innocently. "Listen, I'm going to go look around. If I'm not back, I probably--"
"Lost yourself," James finished.
"Indeed I probably will," Sirius said, heading to the other side of the store. Remus tried not to look at where James was standing, so instead he stared at a cauldron with fake fascination. Suddenly, making Remus go numb, James spoke.
"Hey," he said to Remus, who looked up.
"Hey," Remus said, trying to be polite, yet not talkative.
"My name's James Potter; what's yours?" he asked.
"I'm Remus Lupin," he said.
"Cool name," James said. "So, you're going to Hogwarts for the first time, I assume?" Remus nodded. "Same here. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get into Gryffindor house. Anything's better then Slytherin, really."
"Yeah," Remus said. "My mum and dad were in Gryffindor, but you never know. I wouldn't want Slytherin, either, though. It makes you think of spit." It surprised Remus that he said more then 3 words. Not only that, but he tried to be humorous..scratch that. He WAS humorous. James began to laugh at his last statement.
"You got a point there," he said, smiling. He then checked his watch. "Argh, I better be going. I still have to get my wand and I need to do that in less then 15 minutes. I'll talk to you later, hopefully. Bye!" With a wave, James left into the crowd around the door, most likely looking for his friend.
Remus let out a sigh of relief. He met someone and it wasn't bad at all. Maybe they'll even become friends.
"Woah, hold up there. Don't count on that happening, with what you are and all," Remus quietly said to himself. Just then his mum appeared with a bag, which contained a cauldron.
"Ok, Remus, we got your cauldron. Next stop, robes," his mum said, and they left the store. At the front, James and Sirius were paying for their cauldrons.
"Who was that one kid you were talking to?" Sirius asked, handing some gallons to the person who was checking their cauldrons out for them.
"His name's Remus Lupin. He seems pretty nice," James said, also handing some gallons over.
"Is he--" Sirius started to ask as they left the store.
"A Slytherin hater?" James finished his sentence yet again. "Yes, very much so. As much as you and me, even."
"Excellent," Sirius said. "I want to meet him, then. If he's as much of a Slytherin hater as we are, then he MUST be cool."
"Yeah," James said, and he checked his watch again. "We better go to Ollivander's before my mum comes or she'll make me preform magic with a piece of stick." They both headed off towards the wand shop, as Remus was getting his robes.
'Maybe going to Hogwarts won't be all that bad,' he thought. . . . . . .
