When I close my eyes to go to sleep, I have the nightmares. During the day, I can still feel his teeth ripping through me. The Final Battle might have been over, but for me it never would be. Every month I would go through the change forced upon me. Every time I look in a mirror, I will see my scars that just serve as another reminder.

When Greyback had attacked me, I had accepted my fate. When I had miraculously survived, I had been so relieved. That is, until the next full moon came around. Now I sometimes find myself wishing I had died that night.

As the wizarding world put itself back together and the people began to move on, I found that I couldn't. Everywhere I go, I am looked upon with pity. Pavarti and the others try to act normal around me, but I can see through their fake smiles. They try to, but they just don't understand.

As more time passes by, I find myself growing farther apart from my friends and former classmates. They had all begun to move on with their lives, while I seem to be stuck. I can see it in their eyes that I am an uncomfortable reminder of the past that they are so desperate to forget.

I have found others like me, a pack full of us with the lycanthrope curse. They help me during the full moons. They show me that I am not alone in this world. With them I am beginning to heal.

There is one amongst my pack that is more special. We have connected through our shared experiences. As I grow closer to him each day, I find myself feeling things I had long since thought lost to me. I can see myself having a future with him. My sweet Dante.

After so many long years, I am beginning to feel like myself again. No longer do I feel like an outsider from normal society. When I see myself in the mirror, I begin to see what I once did. A beautiful woman in the prime of her life. I have a successful career and a loving fiancé.

My wedding day has finally arrived and I couldn't be happier. I have the love of my life waiting for me and my best friend by my side. After a rocky road, Pavarti and I have become inseparable again. She is now my maid of honor and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My children have just left on the train off to Hogwarts for another year. I miss them already. I find it grows harder every year to send them off. The house feels empty without them in it. Dante by my side makes it bearable though.

I am so tired. The constant changes every month are catching up with me. The years have been tough and I find myself growing weary. I have lived a full life, full of hardships, pain and love. My children are all grown and married and my dear Dante has long since passed. I think it is time for me to go and join him.
