Chapter 42: An Unusual Full Moon

After this beautiful evening that took place at the castle, the atmosphere had calmed down and had even become serious again. Of course, some people needed a little time to recover, especially Sirius and Hook. After sharing several dances with Emma and Belle, the two men had discussed over several drinks. The awakening was therefore more difficult for both of them.

As for the witches of the group, the morning was already under the sign of magic. Emma and Hermione were motivated and decided to free Merlin from his prison. The two women had had to do a good fifteen times around the tree, thinking they would have some kind of illumination. However, nothing came. The whole group had finally gathered around the tree, trying to help them. Emma and Hermione then tried for a short time to mix their magic directly on the tree but nothing helped.

- Hermione, are you okay? Robin asked. He had noticed that the young woman looked strangely at her hands.

- I ... Need ... Break ... She stammered.

She then moved away a bit from the rest of her relatives. Hermione felt that she was on the verge of cracking and letting the darkness take over on her own control. Unable to allow it, she made the decision to stop everything before arriving at a point of no return. Regina wanted, of course, to go see her daughter but Sirius and Remus took the front. After all, they had known her longer than the inhabitants of Storybroke.

- Gently but surely, you'll end up learning to keep control, Hermione. Remus said softly.

- That's what I do, all the time, days and nights! She exclaimed angrily.

- But there you force yourself; you consider all this as unnatural. Soon your body and mind will do this naturally and you will not have as much energy to spend in this internal fight.

- You should listen to him, Mione. He knows a lot about inner demons. Sirius said.

- But as she has already pointed out to me, it is only for a certain period of the month.

They were silent for a while before Sirius spoke again. He had learned, after Azkaban, to see the good side of things.

- Tell yourself that against You-Know-Who, it could be a huge advantage to have powers like yours.

The Gryffindor gave him a smile. It was something she had obviously thought of. Still, it was hard to imagine when you noticed that she could barely keep from cracking after barely ten minutes of practice. Remus then let Sirius talk a little more with his former student and returned to the group. He arrived in front of Ruby and wondered if he should really tackle the subject that burned his lips.

- My dear, can I ask you a question?

- Of course.

- How do you plan to handle the next full moon if it takes place in this world?

Ruby realized then that she was right when she felt the similarities between her and Remus. Now, she knew what to do, for him to address this subject, it was inevitably that he also worried for himself. The wizard was beginning to feel the wolf stirring him; he knew perfectly well that it meant that the next full moon was not far off. Yet, in this world, it was obvious that he might fall on people he could hurt in the forest.

- I do not know yet, it is possible that I use my cloak.

- Your cloak?

- Little Red Riding Hood, does this ring a bell?

Remus could not help but smile. It is true that to imagine this tale for children with the little girl in the role of the wolf changed a lot of things. Yet he still did not understand what a cloak was doing in this story.

- How will your cloak help you?

The wolf explained to her that her red cloak allowed her to prevent her becoming a wolf if she did not want to. The former teacher was stunned by the magic that reigned in a simple piece of cloth. Having one in this genre would have made life so much easier. Ruby then asked him what was on his side.

- I wish I could say that it's so simple on my side. Yet my transformation makes me ... Let's say I'm not the most pleasant at this time.

- At this point?

- He nearly tore my throat several times, exclaimed Sirius, who had just joined them.

She understood then that the meaning of the word "Werewolf" was very different depending on the dimension. But it was indeed necessary to worry quite quickly of this affair. Alarmed by Remus's sensations, they asked when the next full moon was. Assuming it was for the evening itself, finding a solution for Remus was urgent. Hermione then proposed to create, magically, a cage that would contain it for the night. Uncertain that any cage would work, Ruby proposed her cloak.

- I prefer to avoid, we do not know what this magic could have effect on me. It could make things worse!

-0-

The night arrived too quickly to the taste of the group. In the end it was the idea of Hermione that was retained because the only one found a little effective. For once, the fact that the new Dark one does not sleep was an advantage, she could watch him tonight. Remus changed as soon as the moonlight hit his body. Ruby decided not to put on her cloak to keep the wolf company under her eyes.

We could then hear some grunts and groans from the tow wolfs. Astonishment Remus was extremely calm, totally focused on Ruby. From Hermione's point of view, both seemed to be talking all night long.
