The brown haired werewolf sighed to himself as he trudged through London; head down, on his way to Kings Cross. His heart was beating a mile a minute and his head was full of thoughts, all battling for dominance, however two kept cropping up: "What if they discover I'm a werewolf?" and, "Will I ever be able to have friends and be accepted for who I am?" You see, this werewolf's name was Remus John Lupin and he was currently on his way to the station where he would have to board a train that would take him to his new school, Hogwarts.
Slowly, he started to cross over the many roads in front of the station, cautious of his surroundings. All was well until he looked up and halted in awe at the size of the station; Remus had never seen a train station before due to living in the countryside with only his mother. Mouth hanging wide open, Remus started to feel self conscious of his ragged and worn out clothes.
Suddenly, a bus' horn blared and Remus found himself being forced back onto the pavement by a black, heavy blur. His mind raced, trying desperately to make sense of what had just happened. It all became clear when his eyes readjusted to look up at a raven haired boy who was holding his face in-between his soft palms.
"Are you okay? I was worried you were actually dead for a minute!" The boy said, shocked at the smaller boys reaction to being almost run over.
"F-fine… t-thank you" Remus replied, body shaking slightly. Slowly he gestured to their position as though asking the boy to get off of him
The boy jumped up, pulling Remus to his feet with a gentle elegance. His long black hair swished slightly as he looked around to make anyone who was staring go away before looking down at Remus.
"I'm Sirius" He said, before gesturing to Remus' luggage, "Are you here to go to Hogwarts to?" He asked softly, his silver orbs of eyes sparkling in the sun
"Yep… And I'm Remus. Nice to meet you' He replied, gazing up at Sirius, eyes widen slightly due to the surprise of this boy being so friendly
"Awesome!" Sirius grinned widely, helping Remus get his luggage to the station entrance "I'll see you on the train, Remus" He exclaimed before running off and disappearing form view
Staring after the boy, Remus had only one thought in his mind; "This is going to be a long year". He sighed softly, smiling slightly, before starting to make his way through the crowds to reach his destination
