They looked at Remus in amazement, not noticing her. She was glad that she could make myself as small as possible. They eyed him with suspicion, regarding his shabby clothes. Those were partly here fault, as he had been her to buy robes and books for school. She had money, but not much.
One of the kids spoke. He was tall, and had a shock of ginger hair, and a face full of freckles, "Who d'you reckon he is?" he hissed to his two friends, another boy, who was tall and had dark hair and glasses, and a girl, with mousy brown bushy hair.
"Professor R. J. Lupin," she read off the side of his chest. They then settled down and started talking about the boy. She soon discovered that he was Harry Potter, and was so shocked, she nearly revealed herself, catching herself just in time. That had been a close one.
Their conversation proceeded to talk about the recent breakout from Azkaban. The discussed Sirius Black, an old friend of Remus' and my father's. Not that they knew that. They continued talking, and she copied Remus, and fell asleep, rocked by the train.
Next thing she knew, it was lunchtime, and a witch with a food trolley had just bought the others in the compartment some food. But she wasn't hungry. She just sat and watched Harry; curious of this person she had heard so much about.
They became quiet suddenly, and she watched as three more boys entered the compartment. She was strangely amazed from the aura of the smallest of the three…and the other two were obviously his cronies. She remained silent as they began to taunt her "companions", whose names were Harry, Ron and Hermione.
It took a while for these new guys to notice Remus' presence, and she watched in amazement as their taunting became more and more cruel, so much so that she was about to speak out. She moved slowly and quietly, like a cat, standing up, and emerging from the shadows. Doing this, however, she felt a horrible presence in the room, and felt all her happiness sucked out of her, leaving her with only hatred and pain. She felt her world spinning, and fought to keep her consciousness. She sat hurriedly on the chair, and though of a simple smile, willing the pain to go away.
As the world slowly drifted back into colour, she looked around the carriage, to see that Remus was now awake. Harry was lying on the floor, looking half dead, and she would have stood if she had had the energy. She watched, as Remus handed out chocolate, and the kids in the carriage, for there were now more, looked at it, unsure of what to do. As she received a piece, she nibbled off a little bit, letting the taste linger on her tongue.
Remus returned and they soon neared the station in Hogsmeade, and a new chapter in her life.
