(The picture is Remi)
Remi's POV
I lean back into the bench and let out a breath that I didn't realize I had been holding.
Right now I'm at Kings Cross Station waiting for my friends. My parents left just minutes ago after drowning me in hugs.
My parents are really amazing, honestly. Even with what I am, they still accept me and love me.
"REMO!" A voice yells from behind me. I turn around and see that one of my best friends, Janie, is sprinting towards me.
I can see her parents far behind her holding her trunk and koala (Pichu), laughing.
"JANO!" I respond, opening my arms for a hug. But when she crushed me, I hissed in pain.
Immediately, she lets go in panic.
"Sorry, Remi. You're still healing." She apologizes and lightly pats my shoulder.
I smile and roll up the long sleeve of my navy blue shirt. Blood oozed out and dripped onto my hand. I cringed at the sight and reached into my messenger bag.
I pulled out a muggle first aid kit. I dab the wound with a sterilized rag, and wrap a gauze around it.
Janie ogles at me,"You should be a healer, or even a muggle healer!"
I laugh and shake my head. I put the kit back in my bag and roll my sleeve back down.
"Not really, I actually vant to be a teacher."
She nods and excuses herself. She walks up to her parents and says goodbye, then she grabs her trunk and koala before walking back to me.
"Let's go." She says while sauntering towards the entrance to Platform 9 3/4.
I grab my old trunk, my owl, Gallifrey, and my fox, Foxy.
I got Foxy when I was four, as a peace offering when my family moved to France.
Don't judge his name. Remember, I was four.
Foxy is sweet and lovable. Though, his bites really hurt when you annoy him.
But they aren't as bad as werewolf bites...
Gallifrey is a pitch black owl with white spots and purple and blue swirls.
He is my galaxy owl.
I walk through the magic wall portal thingy.
I smile and weave through the crowd to get to the train.
I soon see a short girl with long, curly brown hair struggling with her trunk and owl.
"Bonjour, my name eez Remi Lupis. Do you need any 'elp?" I ask her, and she nods quickly.
I balance Gallifrey and my trunk, then I pick up her trunk.
It was very heavy.
"I'm Penny Rich." She introduces herself with a shy closed mouth smile.
I grin back and continue making my way to the train.
When suddenly I lose my balance with everything I was carrying, and tumble to the floor.
"Ow." I mumble, sitting up. My back stung, and I could feel the the blood seeping through my shirt. Thank goodness it's a dark color.
I start collecting the stuff with Penny's help. But then a guy, maybe my age, bends down as well and picks up my old trunk.
"Are you okay? You're carrying a lot." He asks me, concern lacing his voice.
I nod and blow a strand of hair out of my face. "Um. Yes. 'Ank you." I stumble for words. I mean, he's pretty attractive.
He smiles at me sincerely. "I'm Remus Lupin." He says with a nod.
I just look up at him and hold out my hand to the best of my ability. My back was killing me.
"Remi Lupis." I say. But he stands shocked for a moment.
"Is that your real name, or are you mocking me?" He asks with a laugh.
I stare at him with a completely serious look, causing him to stop laughing and accept my handshake.
"Well, I like your name. I hope to see you soon." He says confidently before sauntering off.
Hmm...I thought it was only Janie and Lynx who saunters off after a conversation.
Janie's POV
I'd like to say that when I walked on the train everyone stared at me, ogling at my beauty, but unfortunately that wasn't the case...
As soon as we walked on the train, Lynx and I took off racing eachother to the nearest compartment.
About halfway there she tripped me, laughing, and beat me there.
Not the most graceful entrance.
At least I got my wish to have people staring at me.
After paying there for a minute I decide to look for Lynx.
It hardly takes any time for me to find her in an empty compartment.
"You tripped me!"
"I wanted to win." Was her response.
"I hate you." This is how most of our conversations seem to end up. "Do you have any chocolate?"
We said that a lot too.
Our conversation for the next few minutes was one of us saying a word, and then the other said the word(s) that immediately popped into their minds.
"Cat."
"Nip."
"Christmas."
"Weed."
"Refrigerator."
"Shark."
"Shark? How does a shark have anything to do with a refrigerator?" Said a voice I didn't recognize.
Apparently we were so into the game that neither of us noticed the compartment door opening.
Standing in the doorway were five boys. A tall redhead, one with messy black hair and glasses, one with long, luxurious black hair, a tall boy with scars on his arms and face, and a short boy with mousey brown hair (he was probably the least attractive).
And I will admit, the redhead was hot.
Not that I would say that out loud.
When I heard the voice, I jumped so much that my glasses fell off my face.
After I picked them up, I quickly rushed into an explanation.
"When I went home during winter break my dad caught a shark and put it in the freezer without telling me. Around 3am I came down half asleep with only the torch on to see. I opened the freezer and there was a f*cking shark! Scariest thing that ever happened to me."
Everyone in the compartment was silent for a moment, trying to comprehend what I just said.
Eventually the bespectacled boy spoke up. "Why am I not surprised you're Australian?"
My crooked smile was an answer of it's own.
"Sorry, I guess we should introduce ourselves! I'm Remus Lupin." Said the scarred boy.
I looked at Lynx, my eyes open wide, and seeing that her's were too, I knew we were thinking the same thing.
Remi.
Remi has an unusual name to begin with, but for there to be a person with such a similar name is one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard.
"Your name sounds just like-"
He cut Lynx off.
"I'm guessing you're friends with Remi?"
'Noooooooooo! What gave that away?' This was my only thought.
Instead of saying that, we both nodded, hoping the sooner we all introduce ourselves, the sooner they will go.
I'm already getting tired of them.
Just... Go away...
"I'm the hottest person in the world, Sirius Black." Said Mr. I-Have-Big-Hair-And-An-Even-Bigger-Ego.
Upon hearing that, Lynx's eyes narrowed.
"I'm sorry- You know what, I'm actually not- But I, Lynx White, am the hottest person in the whole universe."
And that was their conversation while the rest of us introduced ourselves.
I eventually found out the short one's name was Peter Pettigrew after he finally stopped stuttering.
"I'm Aspen Evans..." The redhead seemed to feel a bit awkward, seemingly wanting to leave this compartment as much as I wanted them to leave.
"Potter, James Potter." The last one said, smirking arrogantly. His name was so familiar... I just can't put my finger on it.
"Hm... Well, I'm the ever so awesome Jane Porter!"
Everyone in the compartment's eye's widened (excluding Lynx) turning their heads to look at me.
"As in Jason Porter? On the Australian Quidditch team?"
I smiled proudly, nodding, happy that they recognize my dad. Just as I was about to say something, Pettigrew seemed to have a nervous breakdown, running out of the compartment.
Lovely.
"Sorry, we have to go get him before he accidentally runs into the Slytherin compartments." James said smiling slightly, although he looked rather distracted. Before I could ask anything they were gone, leaving me with Lynx.
