Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

People looking frantically for their platform; luggage, suitcases making different sounds as their owners pulled them around. Four very excited but parentless children were looking for a platform that seemed like it didn't exist. Haha that's us. The four parentless children. We were all walking back and forth to find Platform 9 ¾ . It was no where to be found.

"Where can it be?" I said frustrated lugging a cart with all my possessions.

"I dunno. There are only platforms nine and ten," said Suzanne and sighed.

"Maybe they printed the ticket wrong or something," Jessica said looking at the ticket oddly.

"Hey there's a guy over there," Mark pointed to a man in a uniform. "Maybe he knows." He walked away and asked. He came back with a shrug on his shoulders.

"He called me crazy," Mark said dully.

"Well that's lovely," Jessica said sarcastically. I noticed two boys with the Hogwarts crest on their trunk and it looked liked they knew where they were going.

"Let's follow them," I pointed to the boys. "They look like they know,"

We quickly caught up to them to find where the platform was. At first we couldn't believe what they did.

"You got to be kidding me!" Jessica and Suzanne exclaimed. The boys one at the time went through the wall which was between platform nine and ten and disappeared.

"So you go through the wall?" I said out loud, unsure. It seemed too strange.

"Yeah," I voice said. It belonged to a girl who was older than us with auburn hair and pretty green eyes.

"Um thanks," I said quietly. We went through the wall one at a time. It seemed like we were on another secret platform of some sort. A big train stood before me called The Hogwarts Express. Something told me this was going to be one of the strangest year I will ever have.

"It seems really crowded so I guess we'll have to split up," Jessica said.

"Ok," Suzanne, Mark and I said in unison.

"We'll meet up when we get there,"

"Ok see ya," I watched as my friends went in different directions and I kept walking.

"Ha-ha I beat you James," I heard a voice say. Being the very curious person I was I followed that voice. Their compartment door was open so I peaked in without them noticing.

There was one boy with uncontrollable black hair with glasses over his hazel eyes. He was playing exploding snap with another with jet black hair and these beautiful grey eyes. The other boy in the compartment was reading. His amberish looking color (kinda on the brown side) eyes were stuck in a book and his light brown hair sometimes got in his way.

"Come on Remus. Don't you wanna play?" James who was the boy with the glasses asked.

"No thanks," the boy replied.

"That's Remus. There aren't too many kids with that name. It's an odd name." I thought to myself. I became really anxious and my heart started to race.

I knocked on their compartment door and that was the first time they noticed I was there. "Excuse me," Their faces were looking at me. "Can I sit here please?"

"Well sure," replied the boy with the grey eyes. "I'm Sirius. No seriouly I'm Sirius."

"That joke isn't funny. I'm James Potter," the boy with the crazy hair introduced himself. "And that's Remus Lupin. Hey Remus this is… wait who are you? You aren't in our year,"

"Oh I'm Rachel… Rachel Lupin," Sirius started staring at me and Remus closed his book.

"Did you say you were…" Remus started to say but James cut him off.

"I gotta find Evans," James walked away from us. Sirius got up too.

"I'm going with him. He has a huge crush on this girl Lily Evans and likes to annoy her. So I'll help him," Sirius rambled and left. "Explain to us later ok?" he mumbled to Remus and left quickly.

"Remus is a very unusual name," I said, having no clue what to say after Sirius left. "And so is the last name Lupin,"

"You can't be her," Remus said. "They say you were dead."

"What do you mean by 'they'?" I asked curiously.

"The people who took you," He said and got a little bit paler than he looked before. I just realized that he was very skinny, almost as thin as I was.

"I remember that… sort of," I replied. I started to explain everything that happened. From the orphanage to Alyssa. When I finished telling him I asked, "Tell me what I missed. Please tell me,"

He gave a long sigh and explained everything. Almost everything.

"So those men were our father's friends," It stuck me, the man who gave me the piece of paper wasn't one of those men. "The guy who gave me the piece of paper was our father,"

"But when Mum and I went one time he said you starved yourself," Remus explained. He went into further detail.

"So why would he want me to escape?"

"I don't know. This is all going so quickly. All of a sudden you come back and now you want to know practically everything!" There was silence. "Sorry, around this time of the month I can overreact sometimes," After that comment I was very confused. "Time of the month?" Odd, but after the look I gave him he explained more. He told me about lycanthropy and his transformantions. It was hard to believe he was a werewolf. He didn't act like the one. He wasn't evil, or dangerous (or at least not at that moment). He didn't fit the werewolf descirption. I guess not all werewolves are bad. It's a shame other people don't realize this.

"Just tell me about mum," When I would fall asleep every night I would try so hard to picture her. "Do you remember anything about me when I was little?"

"You'll have to meet her at Christmas," he told me. "I really don't remember anything at all about you," he said sadly. "I forgot what life was like before the bite. I mean I've heard stories and seen pictures."

"Do your friends know about…"

"Yeah they figured it out last year," He answered

"Wait a minute you mention something about Romulus. Where is he?" I asked and Remus gave a bitter laugh.

"That bastard," he said harshly. Even though I met him it seemed liked he never sweared unless it was something very bad. "He's with his Slytherin friends. I still can't believe I have such a self centered cousin like that. He hates me for being what I am."

"Seems like an ass" I commented. The scenery that was outside was so beautiful and calm and everything seemed great. "So you like Hogwarts. When I got my letter I had no clue what it was,"

"It's excellent," He exclaimed. "It's something you would never imagine,"

"Well that was sure amusing," we turned around and heard James' voice and Sirius' laughter.

"Evans will never like you James. Especially for what you did to Snape,"

"I thought I did a very good job," James acted offended.

"I mean the prank was good, but Evans was sure mad," When they reached the compartment there was that strange silence that got really annoying after a while.

"How's Lily?" Remus asked

"Mad at James," Sirius grinned. "We ran into Snivellus,"

"Do we really need to explain," James said and sat right next to me.

"Where's Peter? I thought he would have found us by now," Remus said.

"We didn't see him," replied James trying to fix his hair but failed.

"So Rachel," Sirius said "You're Remmie's little sister huh? How come we never saw or heard about you?"

"You two look like brother and sister… sort of," James said suddenly. "Rachel's hair is just a bit darker than Remus'. And your eyes are different."

"It's a long story why," I replied and crossed my legs like Jessica always does on the seat and I told them my story that was untold for so many years.

"This is so cool!" Suzanne and Jessica exclaimed. We were on a boat in awe of the sight of Hogwarts, this castle that was so old but so amazing and magical.

"Yeah it is," Mark said holding the lantern. "It's huge!"

"It's just like he said it would be. Something that I would never imagine."

"What?"

"You found Remus!" Suzanne said happily. "That's great! What's he like?"

"You have to meet him." I said. I looked at my reflection in the water and lanterns and lights were around me. "This is truly amazing,"

I was still taking in the atmosphere when we were in the Great Hall. Professor McGonagal led us in and all of the first years were in a straight line. The other years were at four long tables. It was decorated beautiful and it was amazing how candles were floating and the night's sky was the ceiling.

"When I call your name come up here and you'll be sorted," said Professor McGonagal. "Adams, Suzanne,"

Jessica elbowed her and Suzanne walked up quickly to the hat. It was obvious that she was nervous. The hat was placed on her head, it seemed like forever.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat exclaimed. Suzanne sighed in relief and walked over to her house.

A couple of names passed and then it was Jessica's turn.

"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted when it was her turn. She walked over to the table where my brother and his friends were sitting.

"Lupin, Rachel,"

I walked up to the stool where the hat was and it was placed on my head.

Well, well, well. I didn't know there was another Lupin. You're not your bother's kind. I wonder which house I should put you in.

Not Slytherin, anything but that please. I don't want to be with Romulus.

You might be good in Slytherin you know. You do have some of your father's traits.

NO I DON'T! I SAID NO SLYTHERIN!

You don't need to get like that. You aren't a Hufflepuff. Loyalty isn't your strength.

I'm very loyal to my friends for your information.

You wouldn't be a good Ravenclaw either. You wouldn't be as smart as the rest of them.

Hey! I happen to be smart. Then where do I belong.

You seem brave. Stubborn but brave.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

I smiled and walked quickly over to the Gryffindor table. Remus saved me a spot and Jessica was across from me.

"Congratulations," Remus whispered

"Thanks," Jessica was smiling, something that was rare.

Little time passed and it was Mark's turn.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Mark's smile was bold and he came over to us.

"This is great!" he said in a quiet tone because the sorting was going on. " But Suzanne isn't with us,"

"I think she'll be fine," I looked over at the Hufflepuff table and saw her with a group of girls. She waved and smiled. I smiled back having a great feeling.

"You're right Remus," I said to him during the feast. "This place is amazing,"

I never saw so much food in my life. Mark took a plateful of chicken with satisfaction and I took more food than I could eat. Jessica had two plates filled with delicious food.

"It will only get better," he told me
