Sirius throws a chocolate frog Ramona's way, she catches it and takes a bite, "Thanks."

"SO I practiced flying so I can .."

"BLAH BLAH BLAH, yes James we know, you're going to make the team and become a Quidditch star. I'll believe that when I see it. Anyway my brother is starting this year. perfect Slytherin little wannabe. This sucks, you know he even went to the stupid Malfoy gathering. My parents tried and failed on that front with me. HA I rather not see my cousins thanks. HA."

"Regulus was there?" asks Ramona surprised, "I didn't recognise him."

"RECOGNISE him! What do you mean?! You were there Remy and you didn't even tell me?"

James huffs and crosses arms to catch attention, "BLAH BLAH to this conversation! Quidditch is much more interesting to talk about."

Sirius ignores James's comment and gives Ramona a serious look, "Why were you at a Malfoy gathering?"

Peter chuckles at Sirius's outrage then continues reading over his Herb homework.


As the Hogwarts train continues to move along its winding tracks the four pranksters joke and have fun being in each other's company. To Ramona being with her friends is her home.

The four compare notes and ideas on how to prank the school. Ramona suggests turning Malfoy's hair bright purple with blue streaks and perhaps changing his house colours to Hufflepuff colours. Ramona wants to get back at Malfoy for the boring party she had to endure.

Unfortunately later that night the marauders find they have to comfort Black over the 'loss' of his brother. He dramatically acts like his brother is dead to him now that he is in Slytherin.


With the new school year underway there is bitterness within the school. 'Did you hear that the ministry fired Lestrange' 'Which one? Why?' .. 'JUST for stating an opinion, the ministry wants to control us. Stop us from saying certain things' 'What things?'

When Ramona has to get an answer regarding the news she would go to her father but with the way they left things last time she decides that's not the best option. Ramona asks Black what happened to Lestrange. When Ramona asks Black she regrets it almost immediately for Black has a political rant that almost goes for fifteen minutes. Ramona smirks and lets him rant, it is something Black does from time to time. Black may be in Gryffindor but he certainly know his politics. From Black's ranting Ramona is able to work out Lestrange got fired for using the term mudblood and going on an anti muggle rant.

Due from these little fights the marauders start to prank purposefully going after the students who are anti muggle and anti muggleborn. This attitude of the marauders put Lucius right in the firing line, not that Ramona cares. After a particular nasty prank on Malfoy Ramona stays to make sure Lucius isn't hurt too badly.

Lucius with messy hair and dirt mostly on the left side of his face looks to Ramona with hatred.

"You're a part of the pranks that have been put on me? YOU? You of all people shouldn't be a part of that nonsense. Dumbledore lets you get away with so much! So much hatred for traditional magical families. DON'T you know anything about muggle history and dealings, they are disgusting barbarians who risk our world! Such disgusting apes that hold hatred for anything different! They kill each other in the MILLIONS ... They are war loving conquering APES with no magic who don't deserve your sympathies. The last time muggles knew about us they burnt us at the stake .."

"THEY didn't burn us at the stake! We have the freezing charm ..."

"YOU foolish muggle sympathizer. THE ADULTS would use the freezing charm but what of the children! OH lets forget that fact in our history and treat them as innocent teddy bears. You repulse me and I hope the hunters get you."

A blonde girl who Ramona knows is called Black grabs Lucius arm and whispers into his ear. Lucius nods and turns to her with a smile. Both grinning they start to walk off together hand in hand. Envy starts to boil within Ramona then she growls without meaning to.


Ramona sits in the corner of the room again she rocks back and forth with tears falling down her face. This is the monthly nightmare she has to go through but it also represents everything she can't have, due from her condition she can't have someone to love or bring someone into this world.

The image of Lucius so content with his girlfriend angers Ramona for she will never see that look given towards her. Ramona hears her bones crack as she screams in pain.

Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt!

The Wolf is still desperately lonely.

As the sun rises Ramona leaves her shack to go back to Hogwarts, in the common room awaits James sitting on one of the lounges. James pats the seat next to him in a motion for Ramona to sit. Ramona sits next to James but finds she can't stay awake and starts to sleep.

James seeing his friend this way upsets him and he wraps his arm around Ramona's shoulder and allows her to sleep on his shoulder.
