For Teddy, there was always an uneasy anticipation of the full moon. The week leading up to this full moon was worse. For one, he would have to change in that same hospital room as his first horrible changes. Then there was the potential of Hermione actually becoming conscious again. Would she be able to tell them about her attacker? Would he be able to bring Lilith's killer to justice? He didn't seem to have many others ways to achieve this now that he had been pulled from the case. He could barely concentrate as the days counted down.

Harry, on the other hand, seemed cheerier than usual, even with the intermittent presence of Draco. Harry usually didn't bother crossing off dates on his calendar, and definitely wouldn't have circled a full moon before this. However, Teddy had seen both on his work calendar, no less. It gave Teddy an odd pang of jealousy.

Harry seemed to have no qualms about Hermione or the public-ness of her werewolfism.

Finally, the day of the full moon came. Teddy and his Uncles met at St. Mungo's and were escorted to Hermione's room. Although Ron was no longer in the investigative branch of the Aurors, he had insisted on joining them. Their conversations had been very tense, all three men shooting glares around Teddy. When the group arrived at the hospital, Draco split off to vent his frustration on the healers in the room. Ron and Harry hovered over the time-theory specialists who were reviewing charms. Though the questions seemed banal to Teddy, the specialists seemed happy enough to stop and explain them to Ron and Harry.

Meanwhile, Draco had cornered the oldest healer. He was gesturing emphatically towards the potion bottles that he had lined up by Hermione's bed. The old lady looked ready to roll her eyes when she caught sight of Teddy. She winked a wrinkled eye and he realized it was the pack healer. It relaxed Teddy a little, to have a healer here who might know how to deal with Hermione's werewolf side. It also made him wonder how much of the so-called magical creature community could so seamlessly integrate into the wizarding society like they did.

When there were only two hours to the full moon, they released the spell. Teddy wasn't sure what to expect, other than screaming. When he saw her, Hermione always looked like she was about to scream. Except, that didn't happen. Instead, she panted softly, seemingly still unconscious. Harry gripped her hand while Draco carefully poured the antidote potion over her wounds.

A strange smell curled up from where the antidote potion neutralized the white potion. Clean and sharp like a thunderstorm. Draco followed this with the green potion that he had also manufactured. This was the one that countered the potion left in Hermione's wounds by her attacker. Again, came the smell of ozone, erasing the lingering smell of burning.

Lastly, he had to feed one to her internally. Draco dribbled the potion into her mouth while one of the other healers worked Hermione's throat so she would swallow. Finally, all of the potion had disappeared as well.

Draco performed a few spells and then his finally relaxed. "She should be able to transform into a wolf now."

Harry's lips thinned and he stared down at Hermione. He patted the hand of hers that he still held. Then he sighed.

Ron shifted from foot to foot. "If anything happens to her, I'm going to sic Ginny on you, Malfoy."

Draco raised an eyebrow. "Yes. I will risk my professional reputation to resume childhood bullying."

Harry grunted. Teddy wasn't sure if it was an indication of disbelief or some other emotion.

After various tests from both the healers and the time-theory specialists, the room emptied out except for Teddy and his Uncles. They had explained Teddy's presence to the others by stating they were going to use his metamorphmagus powers so Hermione's wolf didn't realize there was a human in the room. They didn't mention that Teddy would be changing into a wolf as well.

Sure, due to his metamorphmagus powers, Teddy could change into a wolf outside of the full moon. However, the one true animal morph of a metamorphmagus tended to reveal a lot about them. It was extremely likely that if someone knew his animal morph was a wolf then they would make the connection between Teddy and his werewolfism. So, they didn't specify which animal he would change into.

No one pressed for further explanation. That left Harry and Draco to lecture Teddy one last time. Yet, all too soon, Teddy was alone with her. The room was darkening now that dusk had arrived and the pull of the full moon was less than an hour away.
