"Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair."

-Severus Snape

Professor Longbottom carried Albus to Madam Pomfrey, Scorpius not far behind. Everybody was starting at them as they walked by. Rose and Lily ran up to Scorpius, but when they saw him, they went back.

In the Hospital Wing:

"I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do,"said Madam Pomfrey.

"But...but there has to be something, right?" asked Scorpius between sobs.

"Can you owl his parents?" asked Professor Longbottom.

"I guess," replied Scorpius as he made his way out of the room. He went to the Owlery and wrote down what happened to Albus. He cried as he wrote, and he fastened the note around the his owl and told it to go to the Potter's house.

The Next Day:

Albus woke up to find himself in the Hospital Wing. 'How did I get here?' he thought.

"Albus! Do you feel all-right? Are you awake? Can you hear me? Albus? Albus!"asked a too familiar voice.

"What? What!" yelled Albus, he was still half asleep.

"Oh, Albus! Your awake!" Albus realized that Scorpius was talking to him.

"Hey Scorpius, I'm okay. What happened last night?"

"I-I can't tell you right now," whispered Scorpius, tears streaking down his face.

"Scor, what happened?" Albus got no answer.

Scorpius let out a long sigh. "You...you were bitten by a-a werewolf."

"What!?" yelled Albus.

"Yes."

Albus could hardly believe his ears. He was a werewolf. "Do my parents know?"

"Yeah, I owled them last night," replied Scorpius.

A month or so later:

The weeks were awkward for Albus. Everyone kept asking him what happened that night. The only people who knew were Rose, Scorpius, Lily, Professor Longbottom, Madam Pomfrey, James, and his parents. Now, Albus had strange cravings for meat. He, or anybody else that knew about him, didn't know that a full moon was coming.

It was late, and James, Albus, and Scorpius were on the grounds for a trip to Hagrid's. The sun was setting and the moon was rising. But this was no ordinary moon, it was a full moon. When the moon was up to where you could see all of it, Albus stopped dead in his tracks.

"Al, are you okay?" asked James. "Al?"

The transformation started.

"Al? Albus?!" exclaimed Scorpius. Scorpius's eyes got big. He too, (like Albus) was starting at the full moon rising before them. "It's the full moon."

"What?!" asked James.

Now, the transformation was complete. "RUN!" screamed Scorpius. The both boys ran as fast as they could as Albus ran after them. Albus stopped, turned, and ran to the Forbidden Forest.
