A/N: Hey, lovelies! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I'm not J. K. Rowling.

SKYLER ADALIRA:

"Great. Cleaning creature mess. Best punishment ever." I grumbled, nibbling my breakfast as we got ready for class.

"Don't forget the detention part. And hanging out with Dominic during all of it." Cassie sneered.

It was the next day, and Dumbledore decided it would be good to help Hagrid with his creatures by cleaning up their crap. And being with Dominic during detention. And, also hanging out with him as much as possible.

"At least we don't have to eat together or hang out with him in our free time," Melody suggested hopefully. Destiny glared at her.

"You don't have the punishment. All you have to do is watch us clean up the bloody crap." Destiny snapped.

Melody opened her mouth to argue but just kept quiet. "Well, you heard what Dominic said, we can easily just lie. No teachers are keeping an eye on us, anyway." I said, as Cassie shrugged and Destiny rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. Lies come back to bite you, you know? Anyway, let's just see if they actually are smart enough to notice us for Merlin's sake." Cassie grumbled, grabbing her books as she left the Great Hall. I looked at Destiny who shrugged as we followed her back to the dorm.

We were sitting in the dorm. Destiny was reading a book about Werewolves, Cassie was apparently studying for the Potions exam we had in a week, Melody was also studying while I was sketching. I heard a book close as I saw a flash of Melody's red-hair in front of me.

"I'm gonna be back soon. Just going out." Melody said, heading for the exit of our dorm. She had the expression of nervousness.

Destiny spoke, "Yeah. sure. Be back before lunch," without looking from her book. Cassie didn't say anything, like she didn't care. Oh right, she doesn't.

"But it's raining. And it's probably going to start a storm." I said, looking out the window, seeing the droplets all over the window.

"It's ok. I'm going to stay inside. I'm just going to see my brother." Melody said, smiling at me.

Wait, she has a brother? I shook my head as I nodded fakely. She's not going to go without me coming. She didn't come with us when I was going to have the duel. I'll just follow her without her noticing. I am a criminal, after all.

She left as I heard the common room door slam behind her. I looked over to Destiny and Cassie, who were still mesmerized into their work. I silently got up, leaving my sketchbook and pencil on my bed as I crept out of the dorm. I went downstairs into the common room ,to find no one there. I closed the door gently.

I saw Melody going downstairs as I silently followed. She made it downstairs and made a couple turns around the castle hallway. To my surprise, she opened the door to go out into the courtyard and near the Whomping Willow. Why is she going here? This is the area where we saw the werewolf. Hmm. This is really suspicious.

She passed the Shrieking Shack and went into the woods beyond it. Umm. Ok, this part is really creepy. Again, why is she here? There is no way her brother is here. Melody finally came to a stop in front of a huge dead tree. The roots stuck out of the ground. To my surprise, Melody crawled under a root, as she disappeared from my sight. I sighed and nervously crawled through the same root.

It led into a small, damp tunnel. I crawled as I felt the rain droplets, prickling my robes with water above me. My robes were already a bit wet after following Melody. Where in the bloody hell does this lead to? Finally, after crawling for 2 minutes, I could see a faint light shining on the other side of the tunnel. Melody crawled out and walked towards the light. I crawled out as well, making sure she didn't see me. There was a poorly-lit hallway with stone walls, ceilings and floors. The hallway lead into a brightly-lit room. I hid on one side of the hallway as I peeked over to see.

There was a boy in Hufflepuff robes. He had the same dark brown eyes as Melody but had light brown shaggy hair. He looked like he was the same age as me when Melody came across from him.

"Hello, Tyler." Melody said, wiping the rain droplets off her robes.

"Hi, Melody. Did you transform yesterday? I heard there was a werewolf attack yesterday. Involving three Gryffindors and one Slytherin." Tyler said, smiling at Melody.

Melody's eyes burned in fury. "Very funny, bro. You know, those three Gryffindors were my friends. And that Slytherin was my friend's stupid brother." Melody grumbled. Ok, thank bloody hell she didn't lie about seeing her brother. But what does this transformation mean? Great, more secrets.

Tyler's eyes lit up when he heard the last bit. "Which friend?" He asked, excitedly.

Melody looked at him confusedly as she said, "Skyler. Why?"

Tyler slightly blushed at the sound of my name. "You fancy her, don't you?" Melody asked, smirking at him.

His face turned red as he murmured "No. I don't." Melody raised her eyebrows at him.

"Maybe. Anyway, stop getting in my business. You're a werewolf and I don't ask you who you almost killed!" Tyler snapped, crossing his arms.

What?! A werewolf?! And a Hufflepuff that fancies me?! I have to leave! I ran for the tunnel, making sure no one heard or saw me. I crawled through the tunnel like my life depended on it, which it probably did. I got out as I heard Melody's voice echo through the tunnel. She's getting close.

I ran for my life, not caring about the heavy rain droplets making me wet. I ran through the courtyard and into the castle. I ran upstairs to the common room as I slammed the door of the common room. I ran into my dorm to see Destiny and Cassie looking at me. I was breathing heavily as I was soaking wet.

"What happened?" Destiny asked, opening my trunk and getting a clean robe of mine.

"Melody...were...wolf. Her.. brother...fancies...me." I wheezed, putting on my dry robe as I shoved the wet one into my trunk.

"What do you mean?" Cassie asked, her eyes showed sincere worry.

I told them how I followed Melody, and about the tunnel. I told them everything about their conversation (even about how Tyler fancied me.) When I finished, I heard the door of the common room open. I gave a look at Cassie and Destiny as we ran for our stuff. We sat on our beds. Cassie pretended to study, Destiny pretended to read her book and I sketched a couple simple lines on my sketchbook. Melody came in, with no signs of rain droplets on her robes. I looked at her and smiled at her, faking it. Oh no. I'm friends with a werewolf.

Melody looked over to Destiny and Cassie, who were still pretending. Destiny was gripping her wand a bit tighter than necessary as though ready to attack Melody if she did the slightest harm to us. Then, she looked over at me as I gulped, hoping it didn't show my fear. She frowned and said, "I know you were there, Skyler. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys."

We looked at each other and nodded. She smiled and went to her trunk. She got out a big book with golden lettering, reading "What to do if Bitten by a Werewolf". Melody flopped on her bed as she silently read the book. This is going to be a long year. A werewolf, a criminal, a studier and a fighter. Wow. This isn't going to be a normal year.
