Of Wolves and riches
Chapter 1: Where beginnings meet ends
Remus Lupin was a well respected Bauxbaton and loved the respect he could force off of people. He strutted through the halls of the school like he owned it and nobody seemed brave enough to argue on that.
The students were gathered up in the beautifully decorated dining room for an announcement.
The headmistress, Amandine Prideaux, glided into the great hall and immediately all the students rose from their seats and fell silent.
Amandine cleared her throat and motioned for the students to sit down.
"We are glad to announce today, Hogwarts accepted our invitation to welcome exchange students. In a few weeks time we will decide which of you will be send to Hogwarts. Let me remind you all that only the best will be chosen to represent our fine school. I expect everyone to work hard and show you are worth going to Hogwarts. As an addition to our plan for exchange students, Hogwarts will send 5 student here themselves for the same reason and purpose. I expect you to be on your best behaviour and make our guests feel like home. This will be all, back to classes everyone."
Amandine clapped her hands and all the students went back to their usual schedule.
Remus was not pleased with this announcement. He loathed the idea that he could be picked to go abroad.
One of his closest friends Fabien Roux walked next to him and thought of a way to start a conversation with Remus. He knew very well Remus hated the idea of going to Hogwarts. The only problem was, Remus was a star student. Never late, always polite and he had the highest grades of the entire school.
Fabien knew Remus was agitated to say the least and he didn't want for him to blow up in his face. He glanced at his face every few paces and with a heavy sigh he decided he was going to risk it.
"Remus", Fabien started hesitant. "Remus, don't be upset. They might not even send you abroad". Remus stopped dead in his tracks while Fabien kept on walking. Fabien closed his eyes briefly, stopped and slowly turned around, waiting for Remus to lecture him. He wasn't one of the brightest kids around but Remus liked him because he would do anything to please him.
"I do not wish to hear anything about this from you", Remus hissed through clenched teeth. "Why don't you make yourself useful instead. Go and get my cloak from my room, it's cold out and we have to walk the grounds for next class."
He loved giving him orders. Besides he was so angry he needed Fabien to go away for a while. He wasn't planning on going to next class. He was thinking of a plan to terrorize the whole exchange student thing.
Fabien sighed, bowed his head and went to get his coat. Remus smiled at the pathetic sight and then started in the opposite direction.
He had it all planned out. He would get into a fight and thus be ruled out as a potential exchange student. Now he just needed to push the right buttons on someone who wasn't afraid to get into a fight. But before he could even think of someone he walked right into Professor Romain. Remus excused himself and when he looked up and realized who he had bumped into he backed up a few steps.
"Professor! I'm sorry I didn't see you comm..." but Remus didn't have a chance to finish his sentence. Professor Romain closed in on him which forced Remus to back up into the wall. His breath hitched.
"I know what you're trying to do Lupin and I'm telling you now that it's not going to work" Professor Romain whispered.
Remus swallowed thickly. He'd forgot all about Romain. Somehow the man always knew what he was up to. He also knew he'd love to see Remus go purely for his own pleasure. He knew what Remus was, where Remus came from, what he did and didn't do. He knew everything and Remus feared that one day he would reveal all of that.
"I... I don't know what you're talking about" Remus said boldly "I was just on my way to classes when I realized I forgot my cloak and.." again he didn't get a chance to finish his excuse because professor Romain came even closer and slipped a slim piece of silvery metal from underneath his robes and Remus sunk even more into the wall.
"No excuses Lupin or I will make one" Romain said. "If you so much as blink at the wrong person I will personally take care that you.."
"Remus! Professor! I uuhm I ah.. Remus I got your cloak. I'm sorry if I interrupted anything important Professor but we have to hurry to class. We're going to be late for.." but Fabien also didn't get a chance to finish his sentence.
"Silence", Romain ordered. He turned his head a little to see which incompetent fool dared to interrupt his little private chat.
"I..I'm sor.." Fabien started again. Romain rolled his eyes. How could this kid be in this school in the first place.
"OUT!NOW!" Romain barked. Fabien was startled by his professors outburst and ran out of the hallway.
Romain turned back to his victim for a final warning.
"Run along now Lupin., I'll be watching you in case you forget", and to sympathize his point he licked Remus's jaw from chin to ear and disappeared.
Remus resisted the urge to wipe his face and took a couple of ragged breaths. He knew he was being watched. He pushed himself off the wall and anything but ran down the hallway to catch up with Fabien.
Hogwarts
Sirius Black yawned. He was bored out of his head as they were currently lectured by a ghost that called himself a professor. He elbowed his friend next to him who had dozed off. James was startled out of his slumber, sprung up out of his seat and shouted "That will be 5 tablespoons of ground horn..."
James's head turned a bright red colour as he realized what he did.
"Yes thank you so much Mr Prottle that will be quite allright" Professor Binns said and returned to his monotone lecture.
James thumped back into his seat and glared at Sirius who couldn't do anything but laugh at his best friend.
"This ain't funny, Black" James hissed angrily.
"No mate it's not, this is hilarious" Sirius laughed.
Later that day
James and Sirius were sitting in the great hall eating dinner when professor Dumbledore rose from his seat for an announcement.
"Ladies and Gentleman, I have a very pleasant announcement to make" Dumbledore started.
"Pigs can finally fly!" Sirius shouted as an answer to Dumbledores statement.
Nearly everyone in the great hall laughed hence some Slytherins. Even Dumbledore smiled at the little joke.
"Yes thank you Mr Black, If you please I'd like to make my announcement" and he semi bowed at Sirius who kindly bowed back at his Headmaster.
"Beauxbaton, the wizardingschool in France send us an invitation to host some exchange students." The room burst out in exited chatter which soon died down when Dumbledore raised his arms.
"In a few weeks from now we will receive 5 students who will participate in our classes. They are curious as to how their magic might differ from ours and, of course, like to know more about our beautiful country. I hope, and wish you all to welcome them with open arms." The great hall applauded to Dumbledores speech.
"However" he started again and the applause died down again. "This also means some of our students will go to Beauxbatons." And the hall grew deadly silent.
"We will send 5 students to Beauxbatons to sniff up a different culture and offer a chance to expand your horizons. We, the teachers, will decide which students will go to Beauxbatons. Please try your very bests. In 2 weeks time we will announce the 5 students who are to go abroad. Please enjoy your meals and off to bed." Dumbledore finished his speech and returned to his seat.
James and Sirius looked at Dumbledore like he just brought them their Christmas gifts early.
So that's 5 people to prank.
"I think I just died and went to prankster heaven" James said with a look of total glee on his face.
"We've got to get planning right away!"Sirius said as he shook James.
James' face suddenly turned from glee to shock as he peered at a spot right over Sirius's shoulder.
Sirius knew what was coming but turned anyway. There was a pretty red headed girl standing right behind him with a very angry look on her face.
"Sorry" the boys spoke simultaneously.
