The Marauders: the truth behind the lies

by HogwartsProudHufflepuff

Sirius Black is in Prison, Peter Pettigrew is assumed dead and Remus Lupin has retreated inside himself. But all is not how it seems. Before the Boy who lived. We will relive the tale of the Mischeivious Marauders and their time at Hogwarts. The first few years will just be a summery and a few key parts. Last few will be longer. Might go into Harrys timeline. Eventually.

4. Sorting: Remus

Notes: Just before I begin this chapter I would like to say something. For the first year I will include everyone's sorting but James. This is because, well, you can imagine what it when like. All that is really needed to be told is that he strode up to the stool, sure as anything and the hat placed him in Gryffindor almost before it touched his head.

Remus stood nervously in the crowd as "Longbottom, Frank" got sorted into Gryffindor. And then McGonagall called out "Lupin, Remus". Peter whispered "Good Luck!" as Remus passed him. When he got to the stool the at nearly covered his eyes. There was silence, but he could feel the hat skimming his brain.

"A werewolf, I see?" Remus almost jumped of the stool. The hat laughed, "Don't worry kid, they can't hear me yet." Remus didn't relax. "You've had a traumatic past, Remus. One that could suit you perfectly for a certain house. However, your vast amount of knowledge at such a young age could make you perfect for Ravenclaw." Remus mulled this over as the hat did. Then, he felt the brim open up and the hat yelled,

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Remus stayed stunned on us seat as the red clad table cheered and stomped their feet. As he was slightly pushed in that direction by McGonagal. Remus heard the hat whisper, "You've got heart kid. Trust me, you'll be fine."

I know this chapter is allot shorter than Sirius' one but all of the extra bits apart from the sorting are listed in his chapter. This means there is no reason for me to go over them again for Remus.
