Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Woman you won't me give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive
Chapter 5:  Beginnings

            Vile walked through the tunnel that led to the Shrieking Shack with Fenrer close on her heels.  She was meeting Remus Lupin at her destination for their first training session.

            When she reached the trap door, she opened it and stepped in.

            "Hello, Professor Lupin.  Come on in, Fenrer."

            "Vile… I want to thank you for doing this for me.  You don't know how much it means to me…"

            "Well I figured I better do one good deed in life.  I don't wanna come back as a cockroach or something when I die."

            Remus laughed and stood up.

            "Nope, sit back down.  This training session will be meditating.  Next time you will be practicing a spell.  This spell will reverse the curse so that you will merely be an Animagus with the form of a wolf.  This spell must be recited after drinking a potion much like Wolfsbane, except it tastes like bubblegum."

            "Thank Merlin for that…" said Remus as he sat down Indian style.

            Vile smiled and took some candles and a jar filled with crushed rubies out of her bag.  She set the candles around them in a circle and scattered the ruby dust randomly about the circle.

            "Okay, now you will have to concentrate on letting the curse go.  The curse has to be separate from you for the spell to work.  Oh, and you have to hum."

            Remus looked up, amusement dancing in his tired amber eyes, and asked, "Hum?"

            "Yes, hum."

            Vile closed her platinum eyes.

            "Ooooooohhhhmmmm…."

            "Ooooohhhhhhmmmmm…."

            After an hour of "ohming," Vile stopped them.

            "Okay, that's it for this session."

            Vile got up and started to leave, but Remus stopped her.

            "Yes, Professor Lupin?"

            "I wanted to say that you may not realize it, but you are quite an admirable girl… You're helping me… you're uniting the houses… and I have a sneaking suspicion that you may have had a part in the recent bout of pranks.  Oh, and call me Remus."

            "So I'm not evil?  Damnit!"

            Remus smirked.

            "Oh, I'm sure you're evil, Vile."

            Vile smiled and sat down next to her Professor.

            "That's so sweet, Professor.  You really think so?"

            Remus' eyes creased with laughter as he said, "I am only your Professor in the classroom.  Otherwise, I'm Remus, and hopefully your friend.  And yes, I do think so."

            Vile pumped her fist in the air and exclaimed, "Boo yeah!"

            "So since we're going to be friends, why don't you tell me about yourself?" asked Remus.

            "Well, my full name is Vile Lucifera Malfoy.  My parents are Lucifer and Persephone Malfoy… you probably knew my dad in school.  He met my mom in America.  I lived in Houston, Texas until last summer, and attended The Merlin Academy for All Things Magical, where I was at the top of my class.  My favorite foods are spaghetti and chocolate chip cookie dough.  I like pulling pranks, having fun, music, and playing Squeedlyspooch.  Squeedlyspooch is the American form of Quidditch.  Most people think we play Quodpot, but that's SOUTH America, not North.  Anyway…

            "My boyfriend is Johnny Davis, son of the lead singer of Korn, though I'm not sure it's working now that I'm living here.  I am seventeen years old and will turn eighteen in two weeks.  Um… that's about all there is to know about me.  You?"

            Remus leaned against the wall and began his story.

            "My full name is Remus Jupiter Lupin.  I attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was one of the top students.  I am thirty-five years old.  I was best friends with James Potter, Sirius Black, and the boy that Peter Pettigrew used to be.  Most people still don't know that he joined forces with Voldemort…  Anyway, we were known as the Marauders, and my nickname is Moony.  I had a twin brother named Romulus Saturn Lupin, whom was killed when we were three, in the werewolf attack that laid the curse on me.  My parents' names were Aeneas and Lavinia Lupin.  Voldemort killed them when I was sixteen.

            "I have been searching for work since I graduated, but Albus Dumbledore is the only wizard that would hire me.  I work for the Light, against the man who took my parents and friends from me.  I love playing Quidditch on the position of Chaser, but could not play in school because of my condition.  I have dated, but have not found my lifemate.  At what age were you bitten?"

            Vile looked up and sadly answered, "Nine.  Our house was surrounded by a forest… it was outside of Houston, of course.  I used to go into the woods for a bit of solitude and peace.  There was this huge hill in the middle, that I called Mount Olympus.  I used to go and sit on the top of it and watch the stream below and the small waterfall.  I would watch all the animals playing, or read a book.  It was so peaceful…

            "Anyway, one night I got so caught up reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, that I forgot to go home.  It grew dark and I couldn't find my way out of the woods.  I was almost to the edge when I saw my dad.  I started to run towards him when something knocked me to the ground and bit me.  My dad killed it and discovered that it was a werewolf."

            Vile's eyes softened to a cloudy gray as she went on.

            "I was so scared.  But my mom knew a werewolf expert who worked at the Academy I later attended.  I don't know what I would have done if Gawain hadn't helped me."

            Remus looked at the girl, surprised that she was actually showing a vulnerable side, and said, "As I don't know what I would do if you weren't helping me."

            Vile's face broke into a big grin and Remus offered her his hand, leading her out of the Shack.
