A/N: I'll upload 2 chapters today as a celebration of finishing my exams.

There was a time when I caught Patsy and Draco by the corner of the castle, kissing.

I was around 13.

They are 16.

It was my first time ventured to this part of Hogwarts.

It is a secluded wing, where there is a big and comfortable couch at the corner.

Beyond the corner, there is the platform, and that is where I saw the two of them.

By then, everyone already knows about the two of them. Nobody was surprised. The Malfoy family is immensely rich. But recently due to the Azkaban incident, it's a little blurry. But I heard the Zabini family are merging with the Malfoys, and they are trying to rebuild their economic empire.

Nevertheless, I watched in quite a calm mood as they kissed.

Then I lost interest.

They deserve each other.

I don't particularly like Patsy. In fact, before she teleported me into the forest, I'd seriously feel nothing towards at her at all.

She caught me watching her kissing Malfoy, maybe my reaction was not she expected. Somehow I pissed her off.

It was a sunny afternoon, when Daphne called me to the edge of the school grounds. They were playing a game. It's called, `let's teleport people who cannot teleport to the forest, and leave them there.'

When I was alone in the forest, I was young, I was only 13.

So I did the only thing I could do. I sat down on the forest floor, and wailed my heart out.

But that was a sunny afternoon.

Now, it's completely dark, and there is a little boy who is in the forbidden forest, alone.

As I flew on, searching for the boy, branches and leaves cut and scraped my face and robes, but I kept on flying.

I couldn't stop my tears.

"Astoria! You need to slow down!" Blaise yelled behind me.

"Yes, you're going to hit a tree soon. As fun as that to watch." Malfoy said.

I ignored them both.

It was getting darker and darker, suddenly, I heard the howl again.

I listened as close as possible, trying to calm my nerves.

"1.3 miles west." Blaise said.

I shuddered, quickly turned to west, and fly as fast as I possibly could. I think I may have bumped to some tree stumps on the way and scraped or splintered something. But I didn't care.

It wasn't hard to find. I saw them. I saw the creature that howled, and the boy.

It was the most gruesome scene I have ever encountered.

There it is, a werewolf, it looked up at us, and underneath his claws, was the boy.

I stared at the scene, and the werewolf terrified me to the bones. I could only stare; I even forgot to pull out my wand.

`Stupify!` The two wizard behind me yelled out curses at the werewolf almost at the same time.

The werewolf was stunned and cast aside, we all raced towards the bloody little boy.

"Is he ok, is he alright?" I asked endlessly.

"Draco." Blaise said worriedly. "This werewolf bit his neck."

"I noticed." Malfoy said coldly, then carefully wrapping his robe around the little boy;s neck.

"He`s going to be fine." They reassured me.

I stared at the blood that was still flowing from the little boy, and I wanted to scream.

"Im going to teleport to a hospital wing, there is no time to go to the hospital wing in Hogwarts." Malfoy said,

We watched as he disappeared in a heartbeat.

I stared at the empty space in front of me, and finally collapsed.

Blaise held on to me, and said, "Come on. We need to go."

I couldn't breathe properly. I got on to my broomstick, and attempted to go forward, but was too fearful.

Blaise looked at the disgusting creature lying on the ground, and said, "Astoria, you need to go back to Hogwarts, and inform Longbottom that everything is ok. I need to take this thing back to the Department Regulations of Magical Creatures. Or rather, just to Azkaban."

"Wait." I said, "but he's a werewolf. He couldn't help it."

"No, he can help it." Blaise said, "it's not a full moon today."

I shuddered, urged my broomstick forward, and it wobbles on.

I have never felt more alone in my life. As the wind blew by, leaves shuffling in the dark forest, the moon crawl up above the tree branches and casts shadows that resemble shadows of dementors.

I got back to Hogwarts, where Neville has been waiting by Hagrid's Hut all this time.

"What happened?" he asked urgently.

I replied that Malfoy took the boy to the Hospital, and Blaise is taking care of the werewolf.

Longbottom looked worried. He said its better if he comes to the Headmistresses' with me.

When we walked back to Hogwarts, I saw a boy ran towards us. He has dirty blond hair, and he yelled, "Professor Longbottom! Miss Greengrass! How is Lucas? Is he alright?"

"He`s going to be fine, Teddy." Neville reassured, "now go back to your dorm."

"Where is he right now?"

"Someone took him to a Hospital." Neville said.

Teddy stood on the stair, despite what Neville said, he started following us.

We walked towards the Head Mistresses' office with heavy footsteps. I sincerely Professor McGonagall has lightened up over the few years.

We stood at the giant eagle, and Neville muttered a password, it started spinning.

We all boarded on the stairs, Teddy stayed at the front, refused to leave.

"Is that Lupin's…?" I asked Neville.

He nodded.

I sighed. Just my luck.

McGonagall was writing on her desk, when we came in and Neville briefly explained the whole story.

I sat on the side and listened emotionlessly.

McGonagall didn't blame me for anything. She merely said, "I now know what I must do. First I will go check on the boy, and then I will go to Mr. and Mrs Nott. Astoria, please go back home. I will assign someone else as substitute for Hagrid's class."

I nodded numbly. McGonagall walked out of the office, and I followed her.

We saw Teddy at the footsteps. He said clearly, "I want to see Lucas."

"I'm afraid it's impossibly for now, Mr. Lupin." Mcgonagall said.

The boy just plainly stated, "I want to see Lucas."

"I don't have time for this." Mcgonagall said, "Neville, escort him back to Gryffindor."

I walked after Mcgonagall, while Teddy casts me a look of hatred.

I went back to Three Broomsticks.

Late, late in to the night, almost at 3 or 4 am. When Blaise came back. I waited for him downstairs at the bar. He told me the boy is alive. Barely. He lost a lot of blood, and the bite mark is too deep. He is going to have to live his life as a werewolf.

I went back to my room, and burst into tears.
