That Friday night, Remus and Sophia headed down to the dungeons in a cell where they would be staying for the next few nights. Severus entered the room 10 minutes afterwards.
"Here is the wolfsbane. Sophia, it's best to hold your nose and swallow it as quick as possible. I hope you two have fun together this evening." Severus turned and walked out without so much as a look towards Remus.
Remus and Sophia swallowed the vials of Wolfsbane and sat together on the ground.
"About half an hour and the full moon will kick in. You'll feel your arms tingling, then your legs.. Then the tingling will turn more intense and it may hurt. The Wolfsbane helps but it still hurts." Remus explained, and put his arm around Sophia. "You should keep your own mind about things, usually I pace around here and wait out the night. I can't sleep in wolf form, but maybe you can. That would help you catch up on sleep." Remus kissed the top of her head and leant back with his eyes closed, and together they waited until the transformation started.
About half an hour later, the dull tingling in Sophia's arms and legs started turning painful. Remus was pacing around the cell, his eyes had turned to a honey yellow colour, and his teeth looked like they were getting larger. Sophia started grimacing as the pain got more intense and she pulled her legs up to her chest. She felt her chest moving, her internal organs shifting, her bones moving and settling in their new positions. She muffled a scream as she felt her skin burning and saw the fur growing, felt her teeth growing, felt her whole BODY growing.
She glanced over at Remus and saw he had almost transformed into a wolf. She knew this because he looked almost identical to the wolf who had bitten her. She assumed she also looked like him, as they were transforming at about the same time. As she felt the pain of the last few bones settling into place she sat on the ground and curled up with her head on her paws, and looked at Remus as he paced up and down the cage. She closed her eyes softly and felt herself fall asleep.
She awoke with a scream, naked, lying on hard cold floor. She looked down and saw she was in full human form, realising that the transformation back must be painless.
She had had that nightmare again. She looked over at Remus and saw him sitting with his head in his hands.
"Morning." She said.
"Hi. You ok?" He asked, not looking up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why aren't you looking at me?" Sophia asked.
"Well, you ARE naked. I'm trying to preserve your dignity." He replied.
"Oh. Hm.. Is there anything around here to cover up with?" Sophia cast a glance around the room.
"Well, actually. Snape usually comes down here and gives me clothes. I hadn't actually thought about clothes yet. Sorry." He apologised.
Sophia got up and walked to the cell door. Within arms reach, she saw two towels. She reached through the bars and picked them up, put one around her and threw the other one to Remus.
At that moment, Severus walked down the stairs to the cell. He stopped at the door and stared at Sophia.
"Can I help you?" Sophia said, nervously covering her exposed body parts.
"Mmm. No. It's fine." He answered. He opened the door of the cell, threw two robes on the floor and walked away.
"Someone lost his self control there for a minute. But, who can blame him. You look very delicious in that towel." Remus smiled a very wolfish smile at Sophia and put the robe around himself.
"Shame he has no idea how to work that out with me. Trust me, I'd be more than willing to make him lose that self control for a very long time." Sophia said, putting the robe on and dropping the towel on the floor.
"That's his problem. He always has to be in control. That's probably why he reversed with you. He was feeling out of control." Remus replied. "He's a control freak. You should go walk into his rooms naked, lie on his bed and say "Oh! Take me NOW Snape!" Remus nudged her. "In fact, I wouldn't be too upset if you accidentally mixed up my rooms with his rooms in that plan really. Feel free to wander around naked in front of me anytime."
"Oh, Remus. You're so cute." Sophia smiled and ran up the stairs from the cell towards her rooms.
