September 1st, 1978,
The day began like any other, I woke up, I got dressed, I ate. Only this time I was making my final journey to Kings Cross to take the train to school. I was late, as usual and I rushed as ever to ensure I made it onto the train on time.
The normal excuse me's and hurried apologies as I hurtled through the crowd, Hogwarts trunk clattering along in front on a trolley. Then a sudden - and unusual - collision. Head first over the trolley, landing in a heap of school supplies and limbs. I sat up and looked around, dazed. I met the eyes of an equally dazed girl, black hair, brown eyes, can't have been more than 15. "I'm sorry" I said as I scraped all of my things back into my trunk before anyone noticed the unusual contents. "That's ok" came the reply, a slight hint of confusion in her voice. She stood up as I frantically searched my pockets and the immediate area for my wand. She handed it to me, a look of deep wonder in her eyes.
I had five minutes. Enough time for a quick thanks and then I'd have to run. "Diana" she said as I opened my mouth, "My name's Diana" She smiled, of course, it probably would have been polite to tell someone what your name was after you just pelted them with a luggage trolley and your own person."Remus" I replied quietly "I have to get the train now..." I finished lamely; she did too apparently, only not to Hogwarts, to Marylebone College for Orphaned Girls.
She was a muggle. Great...
P.S
Sirius knows, he read my journal, why did I have to write it on the train?
October 31st, 1978,
Sirius sent her a letter. He sent Diana a letter.
"Dear Diana, it is Remus, you know the one who gave you a concussion back in September?
Forgive the unusual method of delivery, it's just how we do things. I am in London next week, would you like to meet me?
Write back, the bird will know what to do,
Remus."
I could have killed him. But, at least I'll get to apologise properly now that I have regained full use of my frontal lobes.
Should be eventful.
Halloween celebrations are somewhat lessened for me this year, had to fall just before a full moon. Oh great, I should be my perfectly normal, human, self when I meet Diana.
