Remus lupin:12 years old

Mum and dad had been acting weird this week.

It was close to the end of summer and they had been leaving to go to meetings and stuff I assumed they went to Hogwarts, but when I would ask they would avoid my questions. Friday dad had been gone most of the day and mum kept going in and out of one of the spare rooms "mum what are you doing?"

"OH!" My mum screeched

"Remus dear you scared me are you alright?"

"Yea….it's just you and Dad have been acting weird this week is something going on?"

"Yes and you're father and I will talk with you about it later ok." I nodded.

"Ok mom I guess I'll wait ." She smiled

"Oh mom may I go out to the lake please"

She leveled me with a Stern look "you may however you will return in an hour your father should be back by then and if your going swimming dry off before coming in Remus lupin Dumbledore because if you don't you won't like the consequences." I nodded

"yes ma'am"

An hour later, Albus had come back to his wife cooking dinner while their son was upstairs taking a shower.

"hello my dear how was your day?"

"Fine Albus but Remus caught me coming out from getting the room ready for next week I know it will be an adjustment but hopefully they will get along even with their differences."

"I believe they will realize they have more in common than they know."

"Then who knows." A voice said from the kitchen arch both adults looked to see their son standing there "Ah Remus just the lad I was looking for we need to talk."

"Whatever it is, I didn't do it!" Albus chuckled.

"No one is saying you did anything but Remus your mum and I have the opportunity to adopt another student who is in a similar situation as you were, So we were wondering if it's ok with you that we adopt them into our family."

"Yea I guess …..who is it?"

"Severus snape" Minerva said .

"SNIVELLUS! ...YOU WANT TO ADOPT HIM NO WAY!"

"REMUS! Lower your voice and watch your tone before we do it for you . Now I know the two of you are a bit dissimilar but that is no reason to name-call or harassing another student . I believe we had this conversation earlier this year or do you need a reminder?"

"No ma'am"

"Alright" she said kneeling down next to her son "Remus could you please give Severus a chance he reminds me slot of you."

"How?" Remus asked softly .

Minerva gently rubbed her Son's hand "a lost little boy with nowhere to turn ."

Remus stayed silent for a moment "alright I guess I'll try and be civil ."

"That's all I ask." she said as she hugged her son.

It hadn't been smooth sailing when Severus had moved in he flinched when anyone moved or if there was any loud noise. Surprisingly though the only person that could calm Sev down during any of this was Remus the two had bonded rather quickly to the surprise of their adoptive parents and for now the two were doing everything together Severus at first had been a bit cruel towards Remus asking him why his friends were so mean to him but Remus explained they just wanted him to come out of his shell so they teased him ... probably not the best idea . Eventually the boys wouldn't just be friends by the end of summer they were brothers.

A/N:now that both Severus and Remus have been introduced you'll see more interaction with the two but I wanted to do sev's intro from Remus perspective first and I may jump around so that's why the age is at the top .
