Easier That Way
You have to deal with it every month, but no-one but Dumbledore knows. If James, Sirius, Peter or anyone else knew, they might leave you, ignore you. You'd be pushed from society like the rest of your kind. So for now it just has to stay secret.
It hurts like fire and burns you up. It twists your mind and steals your soul. But still you deal with it, every month, because you have to – no-one has a choice when it comes to being a werewolf.
Everyone hears the rumours about the Shrieking Shack, but no-one realises it's you. That's all you have – their innocence: the knowledge that they don't know about you. Hopefully they never will.
It's easier that way.
Well, that was pretty depressing. This was done for the:
Word Count Drabble Challenge by Shira Lansys – 121 words
The Diagon Alley Challenge by me – The Leaky Cauldron (a drabble between 100 and 500 words)
Honeydukes Competition by owluvr – Ice Mice (a drabble)
