"Fred," moaned Hermione. "Fred!"

"Coming, love!" said Fred, putting down his sketchpad and pencil. He winced slightly as he put pressure on his right leg; it was almost a full moon again. He went as fast as he could without falling over. He quickly got to the room Hermione was in.

"Fred—" Hermione started. She shut her eyes in pain.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" asked Fred. "I should be able to diagnose it."

"Just... Aches... Every—" said Hermione, but stopped as she winced again.

"Hermione," said Fred. "You don't think I attacked you, or George?"

"You couldn't have," said Hermione. "You still had your minds, I gave you wolfsbane potion."

"But I was roughhousing with you, remember?"

"You were basically being a very large dog."

"I could've nipped you accidentally, I was getting out of hand," said Fred. "Or paw."

"Even if you did, I'll always love you," said Hermione, stroking Asher's head.

"Pain died down, I'm guessing?" said Fred as he watched his wife relax.

"A bit," Hermione replied.

"I'm pretty sure one of us nipped you, Hermione," said Fred. "Watch, if I howl, you will. And probably George, now that he's out of the hospital." He howled, and Hermione and George howled back.

"So, my sister-in-law is a werewolf, too," said George, walking into the room his twin and sister-in-law were in. "Nice," he added, smirking. "A werewolf nephew. Or niece."

"But I'm not—" started Hermione.

"I know," said George. "But when you do have a kid, it'll be born a werewolf."

"Great, one more thing to teach my kids other than don't be like Daddy," said Hermione.

"Hey!" shouted Fred, smiling. Hermione threw a pillow at him. He threw another at Hermione, but missed and hit George. George hit it back at Fred, and it kept going until Fred fell onto his bed, his eyes shut.

"Fred? Are you okay?" asked George, sitting down next to him.

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Fred. "Perfectly fine."

"Is it okay if Venus comes in here?" said George; Hermione looked confused.

"Luna and I got George a dog while he was at the hospital," said Fred. "She's a three-month-old pit bull puppy with the same personality as George, just with a little more love towards others."

"Sure," said Hermione, picking up Asher.

"Venus!" shouted George. A small, ginger pit bull came running into the room, saw Hermione and Asher, and cautiously walked towards them. "Hermione, this is Venus."

Hermione looked down at the collar Fred had finally bought, and saw that the name tag was the planet Venus. Despite the fact that the name tag looked exactly like the planet, it had Venus's name engraved into it. She hadn't had much time to think about it, because Venus started licking Hermione's face.

"Okay, Venus!" she said. "Venus, down!"

"Venus," said George. She jumped off of Hermione and ran to Fred's bed, where Fred was still laying down, and jumped onto it. "Good girl, Venus."

Asher had seen Venus and had run for shelter; he slowly walked out of his hiding place and jumped onto Fred's bed to examine her. Venus sniffed him and started licking him.

"They're friends," said George, laughing as Asher started playing with Venus's tail.

"Okay, Ash, come here," said Fred. Asher hesitated before walking slowly to him, then Venus walked over to George.

"I'm going to take Venus for a walk," said George, using a Summoning Charm to get Venus's leash.

"Have a good time," said Fred, grinning. George rolled his eyes, attaching the leash to his dog's collar. "Come on, Venus, let's go for a walk."

O0O0O

By two days to the full moon, Luna had noticed that Fred, George, and Hermione were in pain almost constantly. She started staying at the Burrow so she could help them. Hermione had told her how to make a wolfsbane potion; now that Hermione was a werewolf Fred had said he was going to take it.

"Down, Venus," said Luna as Venus put her front paws on Luna's leg.

"Hey, George, guess what?" said Fred, grinning.

"What?"

"I bet you five Galleons that you'll have a bunch of fur missing from your side when you transform," said Fred. George rolled his eyes, but then nodded.

"Yeah, okay," he replied, smiling.

"Would you like to try pain potions again?" asked Luna, looking at the trio sitting on Fred's bed.

"Sure," said Fred. "Not like it'll help anything."

"Hey, guys!" said Neville, poking his head through the window. "I heard you're werewo—"

"I swear, Nev, if you tell anyone you will be like Nagini!" said George. He dragged his finger across his neck.

"I'm not going to, nor was I," said Neville. "I just wanted to see what a transformation looks like."

"'Kay, come back over on the full moon." Fred was smiling. "Don't worry, we'll have wolfsbane potion. I guess you could say it tames us."

"Thanks, Fred," said Neville. He went over to hug Hermione, then hugged Luna. "See you then!"

"Whoa," said Fred. Just then a Jack Russell terrier walked into the room, causing Venus to go sniff him. The terrier transformed into Ron.

"I see you've mastered being an Animagus," said George.

"Yep," said Ron. He transformed again and started playing with Venus. Soon both were by Luna, looking at her.

"Ron, you could literally just transform into human form and tell her what you two want," said Hermione. Ron transformed back, then turned to Luna.

"Can you bring us separate bowls of water, please? And some food," he said. "I've always wondered what dog food tastes like."

As Luna left, Ron transformed back into his terrier form.

"Really Ron?" said Fred; he smiled. "Hermione, I don't think I'll be able to take the potion again."

"Okay, but what if you attack me? Or Ron?" said Hermione.

"Let's call it an experiment. Don't ask," said Fred as Luna walked in, setting down a bowl of water and a separate bowl of dog food. Venus let Ron eat first, then she ate. "Come on, let's go outside," said Luna. She took the dogs outside, giving the twins and Hermione a break from them.

O0O0O

On the evening of the full moon, George and Hermione took the potion. Neville was at the Burrow to watch the transformation. So was Luna, and Ginny was standing by Neville. Ron had decided he was going to go outside with them, not explaining why. It started like it had last time, and George's ginger tipped white fur glowed in the moonlight. Hermione's fur was brown speckled with lighter brown.

"As long as we look out for each other, we should be fine," said Ginny. "Fred didn't take the potion, he'll lose his mind. Come on."

"But what if Fred comes after us?" asked Neville; he was looking around.

"Wolves, and werewolves, can't climb trees," said Luna. "Ravenclaw logic."

"George— George!" said Ginny as her older brother tackled her to the ground. She giggled as he tilted his head to the side. He nearly toppled over, but broke his fall with his leg. Hermione walked over to him, moving her head toward Fred. His eyes were glowing yellow in the darkness.

"What's wrong?" asked Neville, walking over to Hermione and scratching her behind her ear. She rolled over, and Neville continued to pet her. Ron wandered off, now in his dog form. Nobody noticed until they heard a yelp.

"Where's Ron?" asked Ginny. Hermione got off the ground, and, with George next to her, ran in the direction of Fred.

"This isn't good," said Ginny. They got to where Fred, George, Ron, and Hermione were, and saw Ron unconscious behind George and Hermione as they fought Fred. George was indeed missing the fur on his side. George growled, and Hermione started barking, both trying to protect Ron from further harm. Ginny tried to sneak in behind them and grab Ron, barely being successful. "Does St. Mungo's accept animals? Because he's bleeding bad."

"If not, we can explain," said Luna. "Let's go. Neville, where'd you get the popcorn?"

"Summoned it with a Summoning Charm, duh," answered Neville.

"We need to go, come on," said Ginny, grabbing Neville's arm. They Disapparated.

At sunrise, Fred, George, and Hermione transformed back into their human forms.

"What were you two doing?!" said Fred, frowning at his twin and wife, who had him pinned down.

"Preventing you from killing Ron!"

"I— uh-oh," said Fred.

"Yeah, uh-oh! We were fighting you all night!" shouted George. "Ron's in St. Mungo's, mate!"

"Oh, no," said Fred. "How bad did I get him?"

"Good question," said Hermione, tears pouring down her face. "Not like it's our fault, though. We should tell your mother!"

"Hermione," said Fred as she walked back to the house. "Hermione!"

"Hermione, dear, what's wrong? Where're the twins?" said Mrs. Weasley as she cooked bacon.

"Probably arguing or fighting in the trees." Hermione hid her face in her arms and broke down sobbing. This had apparently alerted Bill, because he came rushing downstairs.

"Hermione, what's wrong?" he asked. "We can always go upstairs to talk about it."

Hermione got up off the chair and followed Bill to the twins' abandoned room.

"Is it something that happened last night?" he asked once the door was closed. Hermione nodded. "What happened, sis?"

Hermione smiled at being called sis by the oldest Weasley brother before answering. "Fred refused to take a wolfsbane potion. He ended up nearly killing Ron. Luna, Neville and Ginny took him to St. Mungo's. Fred and George are probably arguing in the forest."

"It's not exactly Fred's fault, though," said Bill. "Trust me, Charlie studied werewolves and wouldn't shut up for weeks. Yes, it's his fault he didn't take the potion, but it's not his fault he's a werewolf, and werewolves are basically dogs on a sugar high."

"We should go see what the twins are doing," said Hermione. "Make sure Fred's not going on another attacking spree."

"Yeah, then we can check on Ron," said Bill, smiling. "Come on, let's find those two and bring them to justice!"

"Okay, come on," said Hermione, grabbing Bill's arm. "Let's see..." Hermione moved to a large window. "There they are." She pointed to some rocks in front of the Burrow. "They're just talking now. They don't look happy, but they don't look angry either."

"Let's go see what happened," said Bill. They went downstairs, then went outside to see what the twins were upset about. "Hey, guys, what's wrong?"

"Hermione probably told you," said George. He wiped his face free of tears, and so did Fred.

"This looks like you aren't just upset about Ron being attacked," said Bill. Only now did they notice there was a Healer behind Fred.

"Ron—"

"He's—"

"It's not—"

"Just tell us, Godric!" shouted Bill. The twins winced.
