*****************
a|n:thank you reviewers! um..I DON'T own HP...okay?

*****************
The next day Hermione paid more attention to Melanie. She knew something was wrong. She was getting a little agressive lately. At first she dismissed it as PMS. Then again, PMS doesn't make you THAT edgy. There was a glint in her eye, and she had gotten really quiet.

As they were walking to DADA, Melanie bumped into Draco. She stumbled and fell back."Watch where you're going you stupid dirtyblood!"said Draco. Hermione examined her reaction. The gold colour returned.

"Why you!"said Melanie, through gritted teeth. Hermione noticed how her canines seemed longer. Melanie kicked him from her position on the floor.

"OUCH!"cried Draco grabbing the sore spot on his leg. Melaine got up and brushed herself off.

"Why don't you watch who you mess with?"spat Melanie. She kept going. Harry,Ron, and Hermione gaped at her.

"Melanie, are you alright?"asked Harry. Melanie was about to snap at him, but saw the concern in his eyes.

"I'm fine. I've just been distracted,"said Melanie, calming down some. Her eyes returned to their natural silver-blue.

"Okay...Just let us know if you're having any trouble,"said Harry. He could see that she was getting a bit...dangerous when angry.

"Melanie,what are you thinking about?"asked Hermione,during the middle of class.

"Nothing,"said Melanie, still in her dazed faze. The truth is she was thinking about the next full moon. As the class was dismissed to go to lunch, someone pushed Melanie,making her fall flat on her face. She raised herself up,scratches on her face.

A snarl exscaped from her,as she searched for the culprit. She quickly found them too.Draco and his two flunkies were laughing at her,hard! SHe quickly got up and took charge at them, but stopped when Pansy stepped in the way.

"If you think you're going to hit him, then think again! If you try to, then you're going to have to get through me!"said Pansy with a smug smirk on her face. SLASH!! Pansy shrieked in terror. Melanie had slashed her cross her front, tearing her clothes and slightly grazing her skin. Melanie looked up at her. Her gold eyes,slanted. She flexed her fingers,cracking them.

"You were saying?"asked Melanie. Pansy ran behind Draco. Draco looked down at the cat eye 5''5 girl.

"What the hell are you?"he asked in a low whisper.

Melanie blinked, and suddenly got a bewildered look on her face. She looked around and gasped. I've done it now! Now everyone's suspicious of me!,thought Melanie. She grabbed her things and pushed passed dinner. A murmur broke out as she ran, knocking over a few 1st years.

Melanie didn't come to lunch or dinner.

***********************************************************

The next few days Melanie stayed away from everyone and talked to no one. It didn't make sence to anybody. Since the Pansy Slashing incedent she was totally different. Hermione,Ron and Harry tried to get her to talk, but nothing worked. The teachers couldn't get anything out of her either.
Everyone wanted to know what was wrong and what happened to the fun little girl with a playful grin? Everything would unravel the next day. The day of the full moon.
