Chapter Text
It was a cold, dreary evening. It was a cold, drizzly evening, gray clouds covering the sky. This was the kind of weather Remus Lupin liked, standing at the window of his room, looking out.He didn't like sunny days, but what he hated more than the sun was the darkness, the darkness that covered the sky with the coming of night. He hated the moon, and he had a reason for that.He always found comfort in the stars and he didn't even know why.Rainy days were a relief for him, dark but not dark at the same time. He hated the orphanage he was in, seriously who liked that place, He suspected that no one really liked him here, and he didn't even know why they should.
The only friend he had here was Tom, who had been adopted a few weeks ago, and he was left alone again. Remus was used to being alone. He was alone after 9 years. He and Tony weren't really close friends, they were more like allies who felt comfortable together. Earlier, at breakfast, one of the caretakers stopped him and told him to go to the principal's office. The clock showed seven. He grabbed a cane that made it easier for him to walk, it was definitely necessary after the accident, not that Remus liked it.
He knew what they would say, finally, no one could stand him anymore, he was silent, he didn't make a sound to anyone. Some people really suspected that he was mute, Remus hadn't spoken to anyone for years. He found comfort in books. He limped towards the principal's office, having been there six times in his 16-year life.
He assumed that another couple had come to adopt a child. Remus was used to the idea that they wouldn't take him, nor did he want to trust everyone. He didn't talk to any of the prospective adoptive parents, which is why they never adopted him.
He expected the same situation when he knocked on the director's door, But when he entered the office, he was met with a strange sight: instead of a couple, he saw an old man with a white beard. The first thing Remus noticed was his funny cloak, making Remus wonder who this old man was, He cautiously entered the office and nodded to both men.
-Come on, Mr. Lupin, sit down here.
The Headmaster addressed him. Remus raised an eyebrow at his formal tone, but he didn't complain and sat down where he was indicated. The Headmaster addressed him. Remus raised an eyebrow at his formal tone, but he didn't complain and sat down where he was indicated.
-As you can see, we have a guest who is interested in you.
There was a hint of cunning and sarcasm in his voice, which made Remus glance at the other man. There was a hint of cunning and sarcasm in his voice, which was why Remus looked at the other man, who smiled kindly at him.
-Hello, Remus, it's nice to meet you. I'm Albus Dumbledore. You're probably wondering who I am and what I'm doing here
Remus couldn't decide whether he liked the man yet, but he sounded funny. Remus couldn't decide whether he liked the man yet, but he was talking funny, so Remus didn't forget his manners and nodded.
-I am the headmaster of a school called Hogwarts. You see, to tell you the truth, your headmaster wanted to transfer you to our school.
Remus had heard about Hogwarts. It is a question of who didn't know about Hogwarts. Remus had heard about Hogwarts. He was a question mark. Who didn't know about Hogwarts? It was a popular school for troubled children. Remus felt anger. So they were taking him to a boarding school where crazy kids studied. It's just amazing. Remus was silent.
-You've probably heard about our school. I want to tell you that you've already been accepted and I'll take you there at the end of this week. The school year is finally starting. Don't pack too much, everything will be there, just the important things you'll need.
Remus nodded because he had no other choice, he was still a minor, so Remus nodded because he had no other choice. He was still a minor, so he couldn't make a decision for himself.At least that's what the elders say. Finally, Dumbledore turned and headed for the exit. He stopped at the door, turned around, and nodded to Remus. Then he went to the office and silence fell.
-Mr. Lupin...
Before the Headmaster could finish speaking, Remus turned and headed for the door. He left without looking back and went to his room.
