Pre-face

~Liza's POV~

I was in my blue bedroom back home. My tiny eight year old body, cuddling up to my little kitten. That's when I heard it. A howl. Not just a dog or wolf but a werewolf. I had heard my parents talking about them once, but my little mind couldn't grasp the concept that they could harm you.

I went to my window and looked up to the starry night sky. Sure enough, it was a full moon. I slipped on my fluffy red bunny slippers and crept quietly down to the back door. I poked my head out and saw him. Well, I assumed it was a he.

Anyway, I stepped out onto the lawn and he slowly came up to me. My loving nature for animals took over me and I reached out to pet him. The werewolf obviously didn't want me to touch him because he leaded his head toward my hand. His teeth dug into my arm. I screamed out in pain as he flung me away. I guess I screamed loud enough because my father came running out of the house and into the backyard.

That's when I wake up. It's bad enough that I had to live through that, but no, my mind has to replay it every night. Then on top of that I have to deal with a furry little problem each month. Yeah. Isn't my life just great?

I look around the bedroom I was staying in. It was dark but with my werewolf night vision I could see everything around me. I see the sleeping frames of the twins, they're red hair. Let me explain why I am where I am. When my parents found out I was a werewolf they hardly treated me like a child or a human for that matter. When I was eleven and met the twins, Fred and George, we became best of friends and Molly took pity on me. I now live here full time while my best gal friend, Lexi, lives here part time. Her family is pureblood and she doesn't agree with them. Lexi is like my twin. We do everything together. Everyone always jokes about Lexi and Liza. I looked to the twin bed next to me that is usually Lexi's and saw that it was occupied. Lexi must have gotten here late.

She twitches. She does that a lot. Most people say she's like the third year Loony, I mean, Luna Lovegood. In some ways, yes she is but not always. I kept thinking about memories from the past few years. How I found out my favorite professor, Lupin, was also a werewolf. And a kind one at that. He inspired me to keep moving on when times were hard for me. I get up and sneak down to the kitchen to see a figure rummaging through the cabinets before I get the chance. It is Ronald. Of course. He eats like a pig at school, so why not a home. I walk up behind him and ruffle his hair. He hates when I act like he's a child, so I do it as often as possible anymore. "Is 'ikkle Ronnie getting a midnight snack? Or should I say meal." I look at his arms loaded with food.

He glares at me with his mouth full, but then smiles. "Yup." He has food in his teeth.

"Gross, Ronald close your mouth." I push him out of the way to look for something to eat. I settle on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Ron had gone back up to his room therefore I sit at the table. It is so quiet. It's only quiet at night in the Burrow. Sometimes not even then.
