The Exploits Of Remus Lupin

Chapter 3

Remus stood in awe, taking in the sight of the enormous castle, and the quidditch pitch beside it. In the light of the torches, Remus could see his his reflection in the shimmery water of the black lake. Behind Sirius stood a kid with greasy looking black hair that made Remus want to buy him some shampoo. He guessed this was "Snivellus Mc Greasy". He was standing with a girl who adorned fiery red hair and an expression that dared you to mess with her.  He could tell that she was a strongly opinionated person By the way stood, and the way she talked to Greasy that held the passion of a million words. Sirius nudged James and pointed his elbow at her. She noticed and gave James a "Come at me bro," look. He looked shocked and stumbled backwards, falling on to Remus, Causing Remus to fall onto greasy. "Watch it potter," Greasy's cold voice said. "I would tell you the same thing but you're so horribly short you pretty much have to," James said.  Sirius snorted, and Peter grinned widely. Remus did and said nothing. He knew what it was to be different, and he would never judge another, no matter what they had done.  "Snape," fiery red hair called.  But he continued running for the closest boat. Fiery red seemed to give up, and shrugged. "Don't worry Lily, there are still 4 fine guys standing right here," James said, and gave her a smirk. Lily punched him in the face, and went to stand by the teacher, who was helping load children into the boats. The line continued forward, and finally, only the four and a boy who looked the size of 1 and a half 11 year olds. Peter climbed in first, then James, followed by Sirius, then the boy, and then a fearful Remus. He was deathly afraid of water.  Which was odd, because his deceased younger brother, Theodore had loved swimming in the lake nearest to their two story house. Remus shook, more from
Memories he wished to avoid than from the already cold September 1st.
