Author's Note: Hello. Back to where I started from last summer. I've decided to split up Remus' life in different fics. Why you might ask. I don't know but I feel like it. New fic will be up soon. Hope you all enjoyed this one.
:Flash Back:
John Wexler was in his office at the Ministry, sitting at his desk reading over some papers. He was the head of all the werewolf hunters who worked for the Ministry so his office was a good size and seized a tiny bit of power. One of his friends, who his assistant came into his office with a concerned look on his face.
"John, Greyback is here. He wants to talk to you," the friend said grimly and left immediately. An older man appeared with messy sliver hair and dangerous yellow eyes.
"Wexler," snarled Greyback
"Hello Fenir," John said politely. "What is it that you want?"
"What is the meaning of this? Probation? All those charges?" exclaimed Greyback. "For what?"
"I'm doing what the Registry wants me to," explained John calmly. He was use to outraged werewolves wanting an explanation. "And you bit three innocent children last month. So stop complaining. Filthy monster," John muttered, losing his patience.
"I see you have two adorable kids," Greyback pointed to the picture on John's desk. It was a recent picture. Romulus and Remus were only four. "And a gorgeous wife,"
John registered what Greyback was applying. "You will not touch them, Monster!"
"That one is especially cute," Greyback pointed to Remus. "Imagine your little boy, a werewolf."
"You will not lay a finger on my son!" exclaimed John, who didn't care about being polite or calm. "What you do to children is disgusting a wrong. You damn these kids for life. That will NOT happen to any of my children!"
"Only if you rid of the probation and the charges," the werewolf smirked.
"I can't do that," John replied truthfully, his voice was composed.
"Fine then. I warn you. Your precious son is next," Greyback smiled with showed his sharp teeth, He left in triumph which left a worried John at his desk.
He rushed back home from work to warn Diana. It was night by the time he came home, to find Diana in the living room in her night robe reading a book.
"How was work?" she asked him everyday. They kissed and John sat down next to her on the luxurious sofa.
"Good.I guess.I don't want the kids in the forest. Never. Not even you with them. It isn't a good idea. We have no clue what's in there." John had a serious look on his face. "Where are they?"
"They're all asleep of course," Diana answered. "What's wrong dear," she knew the troubled look on his face and kissed it.
"Nothing," he lied and got up from the sofa. "Nothing. I just don't think it's safe for any of us,"
"Oh, ok," Diana said unsurely and got up and kissed her husband. "I'm going to bed. Good night,"
"Good night," he repeated. When his wife left the room, he sat down on a red velvet armchair staring outside the large glass window looking at the moon which was close to being full.
:end of Flashback:
"Do you have everything?" Diana asked Remus and Romulus at Platform 9 ¾.
"Yes," Romulus replied annoyed.
"Don't worry we have everything," said Remus calmly. Romulus said a quick goodbye to Diana and got on the train.
"Have a great time Remus," Diana said and hugged him.
"Mum…" Remus blushed "I'll be fine. I know," he responded in the embrace. Remus walked away and got on the train, trying NOT to find Romulus.
It seemed like there was no empty compartment. Most of the compartments were filled. He walked to the very end to find one more seat with three other boys.
"Is that seat taken?" Remus asked them, interrupting their conversation. "Everywhere else is full."
"You can sit here," replied the dark haired boy with (1)grey eyes.
"Thanks," Remus sat down next to another boy with messy black hair with glasses.
"Are you a first year?" asked the boy without the glasses
"Yeah are you?" Remus asked.
"Yup. I'm Sirius. Sirius Black,"
"And I'm James Potter. Also first year,"
"Great,"
"What house do you think you'll be in?" asked Sirius curiously, a couple minutes later.
"Probably Gryffindor," replied James. "Most of my family was in Gryffindor,"
"I hope I won't be in Slytherin," said Sirius. "My whole family was in Slytherin and I hate the whole lot of them,"
"My mum was in Gryffindor and I dunno which house my dad was in but I'll probably be in Gryffindor," Lied Remus. He knew which house his father was in, but wasn't in the mood to start explaining.
They continued talking, until a boy who was also in his year with greasy black hair came by. "Hey Snivellus!" called Sirius.
"What do you want Black?" he snarled.
"Oh nothing," said Sirius grinning.
The boy left, looking annoyed. "Who's he?" Remus asked.
"The biggest git in the world," replied Sirius. "Severus Snape,"
000000
"Black Sirius,"
"GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the sorting hat.
"Elmwood, Delia," a pretty girl with brown hair and big dark eyes walked up to the hat.
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Evans, Lily,"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Many names passed until it was Remus' turn to go.
"Lupin, Remus,"
"What a surprise." The hat said to him inside his head. "I never thought someone like you would be here at Hogwarts. Now where to put you will be tricky. You mother was a Gryffindor and your father was a Slytherin. Hufflepuff wouldn't be good. Your kind can't go there. Slytherin maybe. You have intelligence. I could put you in Ravenclaw. But I think…"
"GRYFFINDOR!" announced the hat. Remus sighed happily and sat next to Sirius.
"Lupin, Romulus," said Professor McGonagal.
"SLYTHERIN!" declared the hat.
"Pettigrew, Peter," Professor McGonagal said a while later.
"GRYFFINDOR!" said the hat. A short boy with straw colored hair walked over the Gryffindor table.
"Porter, Seth,"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Porter,David,"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Potter, James,"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Snape, Severus"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"I would have thought so," whispered Sirius at the Gryffindor table, when Snape was walking to his house table.
After the feast Remus, Sirius, James and their new friend Peter who they met at the feast followed the prefects to the Gryffindor common room. They were still slightly mesmerized by their surroundings as they walked through the school. It was something no one could ever imagined.
Remus, Sirius, James and Peter decided to share a dorm together. Remus couldn't believed he made friends, but the thought of hiding his terrible secret from them would be very hard. If they did find out, Remus thought, how would they react? Would they leave me?
It was a new beginning. The adventure, trouble, mischief and pranks waiting to unfold: the story of the Marauders.
