Title: Living in the shadows
Pairing: SiriusxRemus
Fandom : HP
Summary: Remus is in mourning for Sirius and relieves his past with the man he loved. Will his memories remind him that he is worthy of love? Slight prequel to Undeniable.
Notes: Obviously I don't own HP…if I had…well there would have been Draco and Harry in the end and not Harry and Ginny.
Chapter One
Twenty one years ago…
An eleven year old Remus Lupin stood at Platform 9 ¾ in King's Station, his trunk and owl beside him.
His mother wasn't very affectionate but there were tears in her eyes, she said quietly, "Remus…you don't have to do this. We don't care if you change your mind."
For a werewolf to attend Hogwarts or any magic school was a rare thing. His condition was only known by Headmaster Dumbledore and nurse Pomfrey.
His father was a shy man himself, "You can come home anytime."
His parents only let him come because he had asked…Remus understood. He worried himself, would he have any friends? Did a monster like himself deserve friends?
They pushed him gently towards the train, his wolf had long ago learned to accept such touches. He had random moments where his wolf caused him to lose his temper but he was getting better. He grabbed his trunk, due to being a werewolf he was stronger then he looked and he could have carried his trunk but he wanted to fit in. He entered the train and made his way looking for some place with room for him.
There was a loud slap…
"I don't care who you are. Severus and I are just fine by ourselves. We don't need you…"
A boy about his age had just gotten smacked by a girl with beautiful green eyes and reddish-blond hair, he laughed, "You are the prettiest girl here…" but she was already wandering off, the boy had messy black hair and glasses, he was cute.
Remus bit his lip and looked at the ground.
A few steps were heard, a hand was thrust out beneath his nose, "James Potter…"
Remus looked up, "Oh…" his voice softly, "Remus…Remus Lupin…"
A taller boy was beside him, his eyes danced with laughter, "Sirius Black, I'm his cousin."
Remus slowly shook James' hand, "What happened?"
James laughed, "The most beautiful girl walked passed me…we made a comment she didn't approve of…and well she slapped me. I promise you…before we graduate I'll date her."
Remus didn't understand why the boy thought that…Sirius was staring at him…it unnerved him..
James smiled, "Why don't you both come sit with us and Peter?"
Remus blinked, "Pete?"
James pulled them into the carriage beside them and pointed at the boy sitting there, "Peter Pettigrew, we've known each other forever."
Remus smiled shyly, the boy was tiny…and shy…he went to reach for his trunk but found empty space.
Sirius laughed, "I already put it up, you weren't paying attention. A trunk that heavy…a scrawny thing like you wouldn't be able to lift. What did you put in it rocks?"
Remus blushed, stammering, "No…just lots of books…"
Sirius chuckled, "Bookworm…nice…maybe I have a shot at passing…."
The ride to Hogwarts was better now, he didn't buy any sweets from the cart. After he was attacked he'd had a hard time swallowing them. It was rare that a reddish Bernie Bott's bean was blood flavored; he was actually shocked that such a flavor existed.
Their area was filled with laughter, both James and Sirius were loud and loved to laugh. Peter and himself were shy but they seemed to be able to open them up.
James grinned, "Tell us about yourself?"
James was an only child…his entire family had been in Gryffindor…and he expected to be to.
Sirius had a younger brother was going to be attending in two years. The taller boy had more muscle then he would have expected for an eleven year old. His whole family was in Slytherin but he didn't want to be. He wanted to start a new tradition, he joked about trying to convince the hat to put him in the same House as James.
Peter stammered that the hat made it's own choices…
Remus spoke softly, "I think my mum was a Gryffindor but father was in Hufflepuff…I don't care which I end up in."
Sirius said in a snobby voice, "Don't wish to be in Slytherin. I don't think much of those I know will be in it."
Remus stared at the other, he seemed like a different person when he talked like that and he wasn't sure he liked it.
James punched him, "Don't get all high and mighty Sirius Orion Black"
Sirius snorted, "Good thing I have you around to knock me down a bit when I do cuz."
Remus had a feeling as soon as Sirius stopped acting weird that they were going to be good friends. He just hoped they never found out his secret. Well, he had almost three weeks until the first full moon of the school year. He hoped they weren't smart enough to figure it out. They were all good looking that he felt almost plain and that made him embarrassed…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
