I quite obviously do not own any of the Harry Potter characters;

The next morning was bright and sunny, Bernadette opened the old stained glass window and look out over Hogwarts beautiful grounds. She felt at home, even though it was only her third day here. There was a knock at the door, embarrassed she pulled her robe around her tighter '...yes?' 'Hello?' '...yes??' the door creaked open and a man stuck his head around the door 'Oh! I'm terrible sorry!' he said and almost hid behind the door. She laughed at his coyness 'It's quite alright, you can come back in' he opened the door and stood there, looking very embarrassed 'I...I was wondering if you knew which room Professor Snape has moved to? I believe I've left some of my belongings in the room when I left, he has the key' 'Oh, no I have the key. That is my Classroom now.' 'Oh!' he exclaimed.

He was a kind looking man with thick tousled dark hair and big brown eyes. He must have been about 30, he was very pale and his clothes were shabby... 'How rude of me...my name is Remus Lupin' he said, holding out his hand 'Bernadette Marvolo' she shook his hand. He didn't freeze or gasp like she'd expected. 'You didn't react' she said quietly 'To what?' 'My name...thank you for that' 'Oh right, yes well...there are many surprising things here. You seem very nice I thought commenting on a name which you must be sick of being ridiculed for would not be very fair' he said kindly, smiling. 'I'm used to being different.' he said looking away. She wanted to ask him what he meant, but felt she should not intrude when he hadn't asked her about her name...'Well, if you give me 10 minutes I'll get the key...I could always get it now of cours...' 'No no! That's no problem, I'll wait downstairs' he smiled and left the room. She was glad she'd met someone who seemed to understand what it's like to feel like an outcast. And he was rather handsome. She suddenly felt a jab of pain in her hand. Of course it was her own fault...
