The hat started laughing. "You'll do perfect in…GRYFFINDOR!" The whole room was still quite. Then one of the teachers started clapping. The whole room was cheering for him. Chanik sat down by Albus and sunk into his seat. The rest of the first years were sorted and the feast began. During the feast, no one came up to Chanik to ask him about being a werewolf. He felt good about that. He got his hopes up so high he didn't think about after the feast. That's when everything went downhill.

All the Houses surrounded him with questions about being a werewolf. The Prefects had to usher Chanik upstairs to the Gryffindor tower to get away from everyone. Chanik wished he could be alone. Albus sat next to him.

"It's ok. The Heads of Houses will hopefully explain to the students about this." Albus said as Chanik hung his head. Chanik did not want anything to do with this. A werewolf is dangerous and no one would want to be his friend.

The next day was a little better. Most people would look at him and then start talking to their friends. Chanik looked at his schedule for the day.

"Oh great Potions and then double Transfiguration." Chanik said to Albus.

Albus laughed. "At least it's not double Potions." As they headed for the Dungeons, Peeves the Poltergeist threw water balloons at the students. Chanik and Albus ran threw his line of fire and entered the Potions room. They found a table and pulled out their supplies. They waited in there seats for the professor to arrive. A few minutes later Professor Slughorn came in the classroom. His large belly barely fit under the desk as he sat down.

"Well today we will spend the day introducing our selves. I'll start. I am Professor Slughorn. I teach all the finest students that will grow up to be famous. Not all of you will be but you will get some of the best jobs out there. Now who shall we start with?" He looked around the room. His eyes landed on Chanik. "Mr. Wolf, how about you start?"

"I am Chanik Wolf. I'm a werewolf and don't want to be." Chanik said as he sat in his seat. Slughorn came up to him and handed him a letter. Then he looked at Albus handed him a letter also and told him to introduce himself. As the last person finished Slughorn ended the class early and told everyone to head to their House. Chanik and Albus ran up the stairs to get to the Gryffindor tower. As they were running up the stairs they changed right as Chanik had reached the top stair he couldn't stop fast enough. He started falling for what seemed like minutes. Then everything went black.

Chanik woke up in the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey was walking away at that moment. Albus looked down at him. "Madam Pomfrey said you'd be unconscious for awhile but you woke ten minutes after you fell."

"Really, only ten minutes?" Chanik asked.

"Yeah, you fell thirteen floors only ten minutes ago."

"THIRT-TEEN FLOORS!!!"

"Yeah, the next class hasn't started yet."

"Well, we should get going." Chanik said as he stood up. Madam Pomfrey came running.

"You shouldn't even be able to stand yet." She hissed.

"I feel fine Madam Pomfrey." Chanik said. Madam Pomfrey stood there for a while before she moved aside so they could leave. Chanik and Albus ran to Transfiguration as fast as they could. They got to their seats just in time.

"Good morning class. I am Professor Weasley," the teacher said as she started writing her name and the instructions for today. "Turn to page one in your books and start taking notes on transfiguration spells."

They spent both classes taking notes. Chanik was rubbing his hands all the back to the common room. He went up to his bed and threw his stuff down. He sat on his bed and stared at the floor. Albus sat next to him.

"What's the matter Chanik? Do you need to eat something?" Albus asked. Just then there was a knock on the door. Albus went and answered the door. Kyra stood there.

"Um… I was wandering if you guys wanted to come with me to the Great Hall for lunch." Albus looked at Chanik. Chanik got up and nodded. They sat at the Gryffindor table and started to grab food. Owls started flying in threw the windows and dropped letters in front of people. All of a sudden two owls were flying towards Chanik with a big box in their claws. They dropped in front of Chanik and flew off. A soft meow came from the box.

"Oh. I forgot to bring Merlin with me." Chanik said as he ripped open the box. Merlin sat in the corner of the box staring at Chanik. Chanik took him out gave him a chunk of ham from his plate. Then he saw something else in the box. He took out what looked like a calendar. Then Chanik saw it had moons on each day. The letter on it said it was a calendar to tell him when a full moon was and to go get wolfsbane for Professor Slughorn. Chanik sighed as he put the calendar in his robes. Merlin jumped up on his shoulder and started to purr. Chanik laughed as he took Merlin off his shoulder and put him in his lap. Merlin looked up and him and meowed as loud as he could. People looked towards Chanik. Kyra and Albus laughed. Chanik couldn't help but laugh also.
