Remus never imagined he'd get to go to Hogwarts, let alone meet people who didn't mind sitting with a complete stranger. He'd scoured the entire train for an empty carriage, finding none, and had ended up asking if he could share the compartment with them. They'd held no complaint, allowing him to shuffle past so he was in a corner by the window and left him to read whilst they discussed Quidditch.
An hour into the train journey, Remus was thoroughly engrossed in his book until the sounds of slurping which were coming from right beside him caught his attention. He peeked over the cover to see one of the two boys (the one with longer, less messy hair) eating some sort of fruit noisily. It looked like a huckleberry and he didn't know anybody that liked them. Then again, he didn't know anyone so that wasn't saying much.
With the slurping getting louder, Remus flopped his hand back onto the cushioned seat behind him. It was going to be a long train journey.
