Taming the Beast
Prologue
Hermione saw it before she realised what it was and froze. As soon as it turned its head in her direction, scenting the air for her scent, she realised that then would be a good time to start running.
She turned around and ran, hoping she could reach home before the monster chasing her could catch up to her. She started to panic, however, when a cramp shot through her side, slowing her down. Still, when she turned onto another street and saw her house not very far away, her parents' car out front, she felt hope well up inside of her.
Running as fast as she possibly could, she made it to the front door before the creature had caught up to her. When she wrenched open the door though, the creature flew at her and bit her arm, before she could get it inside with the rest of her.
Wrestling her arm from the creature's mouth, she got inside and slammed the door, the thud of the big body hitting the door vibrating through the wood door she was now leaning on. She gasped, thinking it was trying to break in, but after a few minutes, she heard it shuffle off.
Slowly she slid down to the floor, a sense of security and safety enveloping her at the thought of getting home safe and sound. When she heard the new baby her mum had given birth to not long after summer break had started, she smiled. Yes, everything was as it was supposed to be.
Hearing noises upstairs, she went into the nursery, where her mum was now feeding Tristan, her baby brother. Smiling at her mum, she entered the room and was surprised to see her mum's face go white.
"Oh my! Hermione, what happened to you?!" Mrs Granger shouted, rising and putting the baby back into its crib. Running to her daughter, she inspected the wound carefully.
As Hermione looked down to see what her mum was making a fuss about, the events of that night suddenly came back to her. She had just been bitten by a werewolf, meaning she was one now too.
Sounding from far away, Hermione was confused to hear someone scream, loud and shrill, before the whole world went black around her.
A/N - Ok, so I have read a couple of stories where Ginny was a werewolf and wanted to write one too, though I decided to use Hermione instead. She is the one to me that has more to lose, especially in what jobs she should be able to get. R/r please.
A/A/N - I liked this story, but with SilverWolf occupied, I e-mailed and was granted permission to continue it. Here's hoping that you will enjoy an Aussie/American collaboration. I'm including the Chapters Silver did for the sake of continuity
