Ron was fed up with his mother's mollycoddling, he wasn't a baby. "just leave it mum I'm fine" he had shouted as she had tried to check his temperature; she had been doing this every day for the last two and a half months, that was when he had started running a high fever, the others could feel it on his skin but he felt fine apart from the burning in his chest when he lost his temper. He was fed up with it and that was why he now sat on the ground in the forest a few miles south of the reservation. He was sat rubbing his chest because the burning was there, stronger than usual and it felt as if there was a huge creature inside him, fighting to get out. He was starting to feel drowsy too, like he was going to pass out, maybe there was something wrong with him, he thought as he lost consciousness.
He woke up later and licked his lips; he was thirsty, luckily there was a small pool of water near by, his mother had told him not to drink water that had been in a puddle but he was gasping for drink. He went over and lowered his head to drink. What he saw made his heart stop. Where his reflection should have been there was and enormous, orangey red wolf. He leapt back and looked down, realising that he was on all fours, and where his hands should have been he saw two gigantic paws. Taking a deep breath Ron looked over his furry red shoulder and saw a tail swishing from side to side. He almost passed out. He had turned into a wolf.
He lay down and squeezed his eyes shut as tears welled up and over flowed, oh god how am I going to explain this to mum, he thought, then he realised, oh god she won't even know it's me, she'll just think I'm some wild animal. He thought, hardly mate came a voice that moment, a voice that he recognised as his mother's cousin Quil's, Quil is that you? Ron asked as a chocolate brown wolf trotted forwards out of the trees uh huh, the wolf thought at him, don't worry though, a few days and you'll be back to normal, Quil thought, but what if I'm not, what if I'm stuck like this forever? Ron asked don't worry a week and you'll be fine, Quil's voice said in Ron's head and all of a sudden the wolf was gone and in it's place sat a completely naked Quil Ateara.
