MWPP: Through Moony's Eyes
The First One
A week went by since Remus's arrival at Hogwarts and as the days were slipping away, the full moon crept closer and closer. His body temperature will start to rise soon, he could feel it coming, and so were the sharp pains that hit his body, this is what the full moon did to him, even before it's out. He was dreading this full moon the most because he was in a new environment. He also didn't know how safe the students would be. Remus had his thoughts scattered when he got hit over the head by a rolled up Daily Prophet.
"HELLO? REMUS!" Sirius bellowed in Remus's ear. He was brought back to the dinner table.
"Huh what?" Remus asked as he snapped back to reality. Sirius, James, and Peter were all staring at him.
"Hey Remus you back from your fantasy world? Sirius and I are planning to let the rest of our supply of fireworks off in Filch's office. Peter's coming, you want to?" James asked.
"Uh no I...um...can't, but if you three do continue with this little prank of yours be careful," Remus said, playing with his mashed potatoes.
"What are you? A wannabee prefect?" Sirius teased, Remus returned it with a scowl.
"Your right about not coming. You look a little sick," James said noticing Remus's pale complexion and sickly look, "You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine it's just," Remus took a breath, "my dad. He's been really sick lately and I'm worried about him. I'm going to go home and see him tonight. Which reminds me, I need to go see Dumbledore, to arrange my leaving this evening," Remus got up and left before they could question him. He didn't feel like having to answer al their questions. His last statement, though, was not a lie, he did have to go see Dumbledore about his leaving, but it wasn't to visit his father.

"Hello Mr. Lupin, come in," Dumbledore said towards Remus after he stepped off the revolving staircase. In Dumbledore's office there were four chairs, one was taken up by Dumbledore, another by Madame Pomfrey (the school nurse), and Professor McGonagall.
"Mr. Lupin you are here so we can arrange things for tonight and tomorrow. Professor McGonagall will make sure you get all your schoolwork and Madame Pomfrey will escort you to and from the Whomping Willow. She will also tend to your cuts and scratches," Dumbledore continued, "You should meet Madame Pomfry at the entrance to Hogwarts at 6 tonight. You and her will walk to the Whomping Willow and she will be back for you in the morning. You have already been excused from all your classes for tomorrow if you aren't able to make it to them," Dumbledore finished. Remus couldn't find anything to say except...
"Thank you. For letting me come to Hogwarts, no other Headmaster would have," Remus said, looking down at the floor.
"Remus, nobody should be deprived of a magical education because of a slight difference from other students," Dumbledore said with his blue eyes twinkling. "You are free to go,"

Remus headed to the gigantic Hogwarts doors, ready for the worst day of the month.
"Mr. Lupin, shall we head out?" Madame Pomfrey greeted him. Remus nodded, shivering. He followed her out onto the Hogwarts grounds and saw a huge tree with it's branches trashing around everywhere. Remus gulped at the thought of having to go inside this raging tree. Madame Pomfrey grabbed a stick that was near to her and touched the trunk of the tree so that it froze.
"I'll see you in the morning Mr. Lupin," Madame Pomfrey said before turning on her heel and walking back to the castle, leaving Remus alone. He started to climb down into the roots, and into complete darkness.

Remus woke up looking into the faces of Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Madame Pomfrey.
"Remus is it always THIS bad?" asked Madame Pomfrey with a worried tone. Remus tried to move to look at his gashes and bruises, but it hurt too much to move.
"Yeah," he muttered, but he lied, this was the worst transformation yet.
"Mr. Lupin, all of your teachers have agreed that you may take two days to finish todays homework, unlike the regular, one," McGonagall said with a tear starting to form in her eye. Of course, who wouldn't get teared up after seeing a students bloody body.
"We better leave and let Mr. Lupin have his rest Minerva," Dumbledore said. McGonagall left the room with Dumbledore. Madame Pomfrey scurried around the hospital wing muttering something about how she couldn't believe this boy went though all this once a month. She opened various cabinets and looked through it's contents. She came back beside Remus's bed and forced him to drink various disgusting liquids before shoving chocolate into his mouth.
"You need rest," Madame Pomfrey stated, even Remus knew that was coming. He looked down at his arms and legs, it wasn't as painful since he drank the many potions. He had one 5 inch gash running down from his left elbow.
"Ugh, that's going to leave a scar," Remus groaned. He laid his head back down on his pillow and drifted to sleep.

Remus staggered down to the Great Hall, eager to get some real food. His pain had greatly reduced since yesterday morning but he still had a splitting headache. He knew he didn't look good, so he was thinking of a story for all his cuts. Remus approached the Gryffindor table knowing that his friends will be on him in a second. Remus spotted Sirius and Peter playing a game of exploding snap, while James was watching, and of what Remus could see, Peter was losing.
"Uh..h...hey guys," Remus stuttered.
"Hey Remus," Sirius said glancing at him but quickly did a double take. James looked up and immediately his mouth fell open.
"REMUS?!?!? WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO YOU??" James shouted.
"Yeah Remus, you look terrible," Sirius commented.
"Oh, my parents just got a new cat and let's just say, it doesn't like me very much," Remus lied.
"Amazing a cat could do that," Peter said gazing at all the scratches on Remus's face.
"Yeah," Remus replied biting his lip. He sat down and helped himself to some food and hurriedly ate it. The food tasted so good to him. The other three just stared at him. "What? I'm hungry," Remus said. The four then started discussing the prank they wanted to pull. James suggested that they pull it on Slytherins, so they agreed on putting dungbombs in their book bags. It would've been a Monster Book of Monsters book, but Remus persuaded them to do a small prank since they hadn't even gone through the first month of school.
A/N: Alrighty! I'm sorry if this first year is boring...don't worry the second year is much better (I've already written it out on paper)
Thanx to all my reviewers!
Marine Aquastar: Yeah the humor and romance come in more in the later years. Humor starts mostly in the marauders second year, and romance doesn't really start until fourth year. But, of course James'll fall for Lily before the fourth year.
writer of fantasy : Yeah I like stories that start off with trailers, that's why I decided to do one!
TomTom21: I hope thats a good Wo! haha
LupinLover99: Nooo this story isn't even near being done...seven years is a lot to write.
anonymous: Yeah I know the chapters are short, they do get longer though! I promise! Yeah there are wayyyyy to many slash stories.
Lady-Marauder18: Thanks! I'm glad this story is not pointless!
