After some convincing Ramona gets her way of having a magical bonfire to give respect to Samhain. Ramona doesn't hold strong beliefs like her father but it feels like she will be tempting fate if she doesn't give respect to the day. In two nights time it will be the full moon. Sirius, James, Lily, Alice and Ramona are in attendance in this display.

Peter is in the hospital and Mary decides celebrating Samhain goes against her beliefs. Ramona doesn't believe this one bit, Ramona knows Mary didn't join due from her. The purple and green flames burn bright. One by one the attendees throw parchments with their prayer written down. Ramona's prayer being the same since she was five.

Cure for Lycanthropy.

James clears his throat.

"Hail to you, O gods and goddesses,
those of you who guard the underworld
and guide the dead on their final journey.
At this time of cold and dark,
we honour you, and ask that you watch over us,
and protect us when the day arrives
that we take our final journey."

The Wolf howls and rages and attacks, the Wolf is in so much pain. So Bored. Wanting a pack to lead, to run free in the forest.

"There's something wrong with Remy, don't know what it is but I have a feeling it's serious. She .. do you see her read about the dark arts .. what can you tell me Lily?" whispers Black.

Ramona keeps her breathing steady and doesn't move from her hiding spot behind a stack of books.

"She .. well she said that .. that learning everything is important but I wouldn't know what dark arts books look like. I do know that she goes to the hospital a lot."

Ramona is disappointed, Malfoy and now Black. It's getting totally unacceptable. No one will want to know her if they find out the truth and it seems they are already starting to. With the excuse of homework and study Ramona ignores and hides. She needs to get use to being .. a lone Wolf. Being dragged around the castle with the three troublemakers was fun for Ramona, while it lasted.

Self study is unfortunately needed considering Ramona disapproves many of the teachers, the ghost and the Defense teacher are not worthy of being teachers.

Ramona at first finds it hard to ignore everyone in her house but Ramona is so convinced it's the right thing to do, after ignoring everyone for almost a month Black had had enough and cornered her in the library.

"Remy, why are you sick all the time and why are you avoiding us? And don't give me studying as the excuse."

Ramona shrugs her shoulders, "Really, I just like studying, I did tell you I come from a Raven household."

"FINE .. be like that .. you know what this means now. This means war."

Ramona laughs, "You're declaring a prank war on me? .. good luck."

Let the games begin. Sirius spitting bubbles. Ramona skipping continually. Sirius green hair. Ramona having feathers. Gryffindors turning into cats. Slytherins turning into snakes. Lily turning into a deer. Peter turning into a pig. Severus turning into a bat. Ramona blue hair and on and on it went with no one safe.

Ramona still didn't give in to Black's demand of knowing why Ramona is sick. Two horrible full moons later the form to sign to stay over the Yule break is passed around by her head of house. Everyone in Gryffindor first year are going home ... Sirius and Ramona being the exception.

Sirius sulks and ignores Ramona for most of the Yule break. Just a few days after Yule is the full moon.

With shaky legs and pain all over Ramona walks out of the tunnel, she walks through the main corridor and comes face to face with Sirius.

"You look awful. Why ... why won't you tell me what's wrong. Don't you trust me?"

Ramona places her hands on knees to help her stay upright.

A small smile forms on Ramona's face as she looks to Sirius, "Siri, trust me on this, you don't want to know."
