Characters: Young Remus, Young Sirius. Hagrid
Summary: Remus has to go alone on his first time to Hogwarts, but a chance meeting slightly relieves his anxiety.
On His Own
Remus knew that there was quite a bit of danger involved in a young werewolf going on alone. He felt his parents’ worries were justified as he began to set off through the platform of nine and three quarters. As other Hogwarts students bustled around him eager to be free from their parents for the school year, Remus Lupin felt he was the most nervous of them all.
He felt light-headed; sick even, that he was even out of the house! He wished he could be confident enough that he could keep his beast under control, despite the reassurances from the Headmaster that everything would be all right.
Suddenly, as he was about to give his parents one more mournful glance, a shadow towered over him prompting him to look up.
“Say lad, ye mus’ be Remus Lupin.” Remus looked up into the rosy face of the gigantic man grinning down at him.
“Yes, sir,” he stuttered, face paling at the intimidating sight of the man.
“Well, good,” the man responded sighing, almost relieved. “Well…now that I got yer both here, I s’pect we best be goin.’ Dumbledore says I oughts to take care of you two.”
Remus Lupin blinked, and realized that someone else was there with them. Behind him he saw a black-haired boy with a mischievous glint in his eye and a bored look on his face. When he met Remus’s eyes, his expression seemed to change.
Seeing that Remus was terrified, the black-haired boy extended his hand cordially. “I’m Sirius Black, and don’t worry about ole Hagrid here.” Sirius smirked and knelt down to Remus’s ear, making him shiver with his whisper. “He’s harmless as a puppy.”
And suddenly Remus didn’t feel so scared anymore. Even though he was on his own, Sirius’s immediate friendly disposition was enough to give him even a little courage.
Smiling in return, he shook Sirius’s hand, reveling in the warm physical touch.
Yes, going to Hogwarts might not be a bad thing for him after all, and he was certain that he’d be all right on his own.
