After The Holidays
About a week after Christmas, it was time to return to Hogwarts. Lee was very happy to see the twins, and as soon as the girls saw you they ran and hugged you almost to your death. Everyone was happy to see each other and give thanks for their presents. On the ride to Hogwarts, you all went into great detail in the compartment about what went on during the break. Emma got to visit family in America, Ava got to see her childhood friend in Scotland, Violet got to see her friend that goes to Beauxbatons Academy, and Scarlette stayed pretty silent, other than a few thanks for the gifts. Lee had a wonderful meal with relatives. Everyone was having a good time and so were you, until Castor drifted into your mind. You missed his 1st birthday, and really missed him. You were hoping sometime you could introduce him to your friends, but not mention he was your son. With secrets on your mind, it went back to your lycanthropy. The first moon had not been pleasant, and in a few weeks, you would have to endure it all over again. But for now, you decided to make the most of life and to have fun when you can.
Back at Hogwarts, you got to get back to your classes, which you loved and were really good at. You saw Nymphadora again, and got to have a friendly chat with her which resulted in you two becoming friends. You loved the Astronomy lessons, and would sit and stare at the stars with George after every class. It was kind of your thing to do now. The last Astronomy class before the full moon, you poured your heart out to George. You told him about the Malfoys and your suspicions about them, about castor, about your lycanthropy, and anything you could remember abou when you disappeared. He just hugged you and said that it doesn't matter to him, and he will help you in any way you need. You realized you found the perfect person for you, and there wouldn't be a day for the rest of your life you wouldn't love him with all of your heart. You two had grown closer and had a better bond as friends than the rest of the group.
When the moon came and George noticed something was different about you, he seemed so caring, and even came up with some excuses why you weren't in class. He helped make sure you had your classwork, and made sure you didn't push yourself too hard as the moon was tomorrow. When the moon arrived and you were back in the cell, you felt the pain, the agony, of transforming. How your body ached after the transformation, and Madame Pomfrey brought you back to Hogwarts via fireplace and had tended to you. Your hip was hurting again, a couple bruises, and a long scratch on the side of your left thigh. You knew a few beauty tricks from covering up your birthmark for so long and when George saw it, he just hugged you. “I wish there was something I could do to help you,” he said. You knew that animals were fine for Werewolves to be around and not hurt, but you didn't want him to be an Animagus and you wouldn't have been able to sneak him into the ministry anyways.
