By: Grey Wolf
Dedicated to: Sirius Black, hope you enjoy this =^-^=
Disclaimer: No, still don't own them, I got Duo, Trowa and Quarte for my B-day (I just love those three)
Note: Yeah new chapter, I have a few days off from school so I'll try to write as much as I can, I'm just a little uninspired lately but we'll work on that. BTW I'm 18 now so some happy birthday's would be nice (just asking I'm not gonna force ye all to say something). In this one Remus meets our dear ones, Sirius Black and James Potter =^-^= yeah our poor wolfy makes some friends. I can't believe I talked that way about a broom .
Part 4- The alley
Everywhere Remus looked the streets where filled with witches and wizards all noisily going about their business with shouts and laughs and shoving. He was thrown from one side to the other and even once fell to the ground and would have been trampled if a kind eyed wizard hadn't pulled him up and set him on his feet. The wizard them ruffled his hair and told him to try and stay out of the main street if he didn't want to die before seeing Hogwarts.
But Remus secretly wanted to die, he had lost his parents and brother in this crowed of students and parents and he was still feeling ill from the full moon. He walked slowly his hand to his head but stubbornly refused to sit down. Somewhere Lucius Malfoy was most probable buying his things for school and he didn't feel up to another encounter with the blond just yet.
He passed a window and his eye caught something that made him stop dead in his tracks. It was a brand new racing broom and he moved closer to have a look. He rested a hand on the glass and stared at it longingly knowing that his family could afford it but want had settled deep in his stomach as he studied the redwood broom handle and the full head of bristles (a/n: I think that's the right word) that had been crafted with precision to ensure optimum control and speed. He heard voices behind him but they where lost in the crowed as his heart and mind craved the broom.
"It's beautiful" he muttered and hear an agreement from behind, whoever was standing behind him also desired to own it. A face that was too cruel and familiar suddenly rushed up to the glass window and he backed up, Lucius Malfoy was in the store and had just scared the reality back into him. He bumped into the person behind him and turned to see a dark haired boy stumble backwards but he didn't fall, much to Remus' relieve.
"I'm sorry" He said in such a choked voice that he was almost sure that the other boy would laugh at him, but he didn't, he just grinned sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head. "No harm done." He said and adjusted the pair of glasses he wore. Another boy, also with black hair rushed the window and Lucius backed away so fast that he tripped on his robe and fell to the floor out of view. The three of them laughed.
"That'll teach him." The boy said as he joined Remus and the other boy. "I'm Sirius Black" he introduced himself "and my friend you almost knocked down is James Potter" he then took hold of Remus hand and shook it "Remus Lupin thanks for scaring Malfoy…" but he didn't get to say anything further because the world started spinning around him and he put a hand to his head
"Are you okay? You're awfully pale." James asked and moments later Remus fainted and would have hit the pavement if Sirius hadn't caught him "Great." He said "We make a new friend and he dies on us." At this James just shook his head "he's not dead, it must have been all the people and the heat that got him" James said and he and Sirius when to find a quiet place to wait for Remus to wake up.
