Ramona walks into the potion lab for her detention, considering she has only been here for a fortnight her head of house certainly knows how to torture her already. Potions. The theory is simply easy for Ramona, potion brewing though is extremely difficult for Ramona considering the over powerful smells. It ruins her concentration and she can't tell when her potion is wrong or ready. If she brewed by herself she would have no problem but with the whole class brewing, Ramona has no hope.
After shuffling she settles and waits for her potion teacher, he is taking her detention and another student it seems. A Slytherin student steps in and arrogantly takes a seat. He ignores her though and this makes her shift uncomfortably.
He snaps his head to look Ramona's way.
"Ah Miss Lupin. I hope Hogwarts has been to your liking. I am curious though as to why you weren't in my own house considering your .. nature."
Ramona raises her eyebrow in scorn, "Excuse me?"
The boy laughs mockingly, "Oh please, not everyone is so naive. Coincidentally did you you know that Lupin means .. 'of the wolf'."
Ramona is stunned but keeps her face neutral, "You don't happen to be related to the Lovegoods do you?"
Mimicking James's line keeps Ramona calmer, Ramona hopes this makes the boy feel thrown for a loop.
He sighs, "Distantly, Lucius Malfoy .. if you seriously don't know."
Ramona breaks her cold mask and laughs, "I hope that you don't live your life by your namesake."
Unfaithful.
Lucius Malfoy knowing worries Ramona but Malfoy may have been fishing for information and pretending he knew. It isn't unknown about the attack on the Lupin's all those years ago but the rumours of her being a Werewolf should have been curbed with her entry to Hogwarts. No one should believe that Dumbledore would allow a Werewolf here. In the end Ramona gives in and corresponds with her father about Malfoy. Her father replies that he will spend more time in the ministry and find out what he can and he also wants to improve his standing in the magic community so being more involved in the ministry will do that.
Ramona tries to stay angry at her father, but she can't find it in her heart. Not since because she questions herself if it's the right thing for her to be here. She really can hurt and harm people and turning someone into what she is scares her.
Ramona packs her bag with her completed homework and makes her way to madam Pomfrey.
Another Full moon.
As Ramona sits in the corner of the room again she rocks back and forth with tears falling down her face. She hears her bones crack, she screams in pain. The transformation may take seconds but in those seconds every single bone in her body breaks.
Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt! Starving! Eat! Hunt!
The Wolf howls and moans in pain, howls for pack-members to join her. The Wolf is desperately lonely.
"Wingardium Leviosa!"
As everyone is practicing Ramona is finding it hard to concentrate. She really should be in recovery longer but she really doesn't want more suspicion on her. With her distraction Mary takes advantage by using her feather to tickle Ramona's ear.
Ramona's dull green eyes stares daggers at the imbecile.
Mary smirks and raises her shoulder in smugness, "Cant you do such a simple, innocent spell."
"Perhaps I should use this innocent spell to tickle you with a levitated knife," sneers Ramona quietly, so quietly so that Mary doesn't hear.
Ramona lifts her wand and tries the charm but due from exhaustion it only rises just above her head then flops back down.
After the lesson Ramona decides to go for a sleep but she gets stopped by Black.
"Hey Remy come with me James and Peter, we're going to go exploring the castle, first up we're going to see if we can find the kitchens! And you can help with pranks since you mock our lack of imagination."
Black slightly laughs and drags Ramona down the corridor.
Ramona is more tired than ever but this time with a happy reason. The boys are hilarious and distract her from her pain.
The next day she is excited and more carefree than she has been for a while. She slightly sniffs her drink and realises again Black has done something, eye colour changing potion. Ramona rolls her eyes and discreetly swaps her cup with a distracted Lily.
"Not again," mumbles Black in annoyance.
As Lily lifts her cup it's almost knocked out of her hand, by Snape.
"Don't drink that, Lupin has just slipped you something."
Snape turns and gives Ramona a murderous look, "What did you just slip to Lily? .. how dare you."
Ramona raises her hands in surrender, "Just an eye colour changing potion, never damaging or permanent."
"Get lost snivellus!" moans Black.
James gets up angrily, "This is Gryffindor territory, leave!"
Lily gets up and grabs Severus's hand, "Thanks for the advice Potter .. I wish to show you something Sev."
Lily then slightly drags him out. After they leave everything calms down and James sits back down. Black throws an apple at Ramona's head but with her reflexes as a Werewolf she catches it and takes a bite.
"You're annoying Remy," grumbles Black.
Ramona childishly sticks her tongue out at Black, "Just because I don't want to drink your prank potions that doesn't make me annoying."
