have to again? Even if we don't, thank

Chapter 4: Remus Lupin
Remus Lupin was a
not to short, not to tall kind of kid. To put it short, he was just average. He had sandy colored hair and bluish-gray colored eyes. He also had a secret, and his biggest fear,
well maybe not the biggest fear compared to his one about there never being
anymore pranksters in the world, was that someone would find out about his
secret, and then he would be treated as a social outcast.
Now Remus lived
on a small farm with a forest, for their fence, in the back yard. It was actually more of an orchard then a
farm for all the Lupin's grew were trees. Of course, for every purpose, such as growing trees, has it reasons.
**********
It was the
morning of September 1st when something good was actually happening to
Remus. Remus had never quite had many
friends, and now he would be going to Hogwarts. To Hogwarts, where no one knew anything about him, nobody could
hear the rumors, and to where he would be given his second chance.
"Are you
ready dear?" Came the voice of
Sylvia Lupin, Remus's Mother.
"Almost
mom." Shouted Remus as he finished
throwing the Filibuster Fireworks into his trunk that was already way to heavy
for him to carry by himself.
His trunk
probably felt like he was carrying an extra person to Hogwarts because of all
his gear for the school year. Now most
people upon hearing this would think that he was some school freak that always
did his homework but why would Remus Lupin turn in his homework? Much less ever visit the Library, unless it
was for something important such as pranks. Nope, only the books that were required were located in that trunk,
then, of course, the trunk also carried a few books (that Remus called
'Pamphlets') that were also not very educational.
Of course all
these 'pamphlets' and extra weight was from his supplies for his pranks. Going to Hogwarts and not bringing pranks? Why that was unthinkable, especially for
someone like him.
His parent's had
both been Gryffindors when they had gone to Hogwarts and Remus was sure that he
would be one. He also hoped against
hope that this McGonagall lady wouldn't be too strict and that he would find
some new friends, who were Gryffindors (who also liked playing jokes on
people.)
Remus, who was
trying to move his trunk towards the car that stood outside waiting for him,
finally gave up, pulled out his wand, and practiced some of the magic that his
mother had taught him already.
"Mobilarbus" Remus whispered at his
trunk, and slowly the trunk began to move where he directed it. He then picked up his owl and began to move
down the stairs and out towards the car.
Upon arriving outside,
with a trunk that still floated by his side, he quickly loaded the trunk into
the back of the car, (if you can call
directing a trunk, that was already floating, loading.)
He then hopped
into the backseat of the car.
"Already
then son?" His father asked, as he
pulled out of the driveway.
"Remus, dear, you
must remember to behave yourself this year. If I get any owls from Dumbledore saying you have been causing trouble I
will do everything that is within my power to do to you." His mother said sounding a bit frustrated,
but all Remus did was smile, as innocently as possible, back at her.
"Really, Mother,
would I do something like that?" Remus
said, and innocent smile still plastered on to his face.
"Of course you
would. I have lived with you eleven
years now. I know you better then
that." His mother said.
"Do you really
think so?" He asked again. Trying to make her change her mind.
"I don't think. I
know." His mother answered.
"Okay! Fine! Be that way." Remus said feigning exasperation.
The family soon
arrived at Kings Cross where Remus said goodbye to his parents. Then he ran through the barrier.
And hit someone
with an almighty crash.
