 Why did the full moon have to come around so early in the school year? Sometimes she got a break and it would come toward end of the first month that they'd been at Hogwarts. But was that the case this year? Nope. Jess couldn't get that lucky. She had finally gotten back together with Kieran and things seemed to be working out. Of course she wouldn't be given time to enjoy that. Instead she was going to shift and end up with cuts and bruises in the first two weeks. She knew it was sort of superficial to think about those sorts of things. She was also well aware that Kieran did think she was less pretty whenever she came back with scrapes and bruises. But she couldn't help but compare herself to the other girls at school when this sort of thing happened. If she was normal, she could be doing anything she wanted right now. But she wasn't normal, so she was outside the castle, just barely inside the forbidden forest.
This was where she was meeting Albus Potter. There were a few animagi at school, and she was lucky enough to be friends with some of them. She had been very nervous (and actually, still was a little) when she had first asked if they would shift with her. She didn't like asking the same person all the time, but Albus didn't seem to mind it, and she trusted him to get out of the way if he needed to. So she was going to meet him here and they would walk a little further into the forest before the moon came out. Thinking about the moon, she couldn't help but look up to the sky. Soon the sun would set and change from the pretty reds and pinks to the dark blues that the night would bring.
Right before coming to the forest she had made her usual trip to the Hospital Wing where they made her Wolfsbane Potion. But that did little good. Jessica always took it without question because a little help with this transformation was better than no help at all. Not everyone knew that the potion didn't have the desired effect on Jess. She had even kept that from the staff at Hogwarts because she was afraid that if they knew she didn't really entirely keep her humanity and that she still couldn't always remember what she had done when she wasn't human, well she was afraid that they would lock her up or something. Maybe they should, though. That was probably the safest thing to do. But she couldn't imagine being locked up for this time. What if they forgot about her?
She stood just barely in the forest and leaned up against a tree to wait for her friend. Jess was still wearing the outfit from earlier: a pair of red short shorts and a pink fitted t-shirt with a pair of white tennis shoes. The worst part of this whole thing (okay, maybe not the worst part, but a very embarrassing part) was that she would have to take it all off before the moon came out or she'd rip her clothes and have nothing to wear back to the castle. She'd left her hair down. It just hurt more during the change if she had it up. The years of getting ready for this had almost gotten her into a routine, but it was still a very nerve wrecking routine.

Albus looked at his wind up watch. It was time. The boy ran a hand through his hair and rubbed it a bit as he looked around his dorm. Where was his jacket? Oh there it was! Albus rushed to the middle of the room and picked up a black leather jacket. He then looked for his shoes. Finding them under his bed, Albus pulled them out and slipped them on. Did he need anything else? His wand. Albus when over to his school bag and dug around before finding it and pocketing it. The boy looked around once more before he made his way out of the dorm and then out into the main hall of the dungeons. Albus took a deep breath before headed on out.
He climbed the stairs onto the main floor and looked around. It was dead quiet, no one was around. Albus moved to the door and inched it open. He slipped out through the doors and made his way down the lawn. It wasn’t like he was going to get in a lot of trouble, he was Head Boy after all, but then again it was after hours and he was outside of the castle. Yet, that didn’t rub Albus the wrong way. He was going somewhere important, he had something to do. The boy looked over his surroundings and continued to head straight towards the Forbidden Forest.
This problem makes you think, what the hell is going on? Albus has somewhere he needs to be, somewhere important. It was enough to make him sneak out of the castle. It was enough to make him head over to the Forbidden Forest, at night, on the day of the full moon… There were going to be werewolves, and that was exactly why he was headed on his way.
There is this a girl, Jessica Greyback, Ravenclaw and good friend of Albus. She was one of the girls who more laughed at him and his attempts than slap him and tell him off. They ended up getting along pretty well and when Albus finally got his ability down, he went to her and offered his company whenever the moon was to come around. Ever since then, Albus tried to be at every full moon. They ended up just being the full moons during Hogwarts, but Albus was usually there, early or on time. Albus soon got close to the forest.
The boy looked around once more before he entered the forest and found Jessica leaning on a tree. “You ready?” Albus gave up a while ago hitting on Jessica. He gave her compliments here and there, but he acted more like a friend than anything else. He was maturing a bit, it was a good thing.

If it hadn't been Albus that she was supposed to meet with, Jessica might have been worried. But she knew he would get to the forest in time for her to change. He was always at least on time. She considered herself very lucky to have a friend like him. It was even luckier that he would have an excuse to be out. She had two excuses, really. She was a prefect, so she could have been doing rounds, but almost everyone had put two and two together. She was the daughter of Fenrir Greyback, who had a sick obsession with turning children into werewolves. Of course Jess would be one. And it was the full moon. This was the time when most students would take their teachers advice and stay out of the forbidden forest. But Jessica didn't feel like she had a choice. The alternative was to be kept in a room somewhere until dawn. She had learned long ago that it was better to be outside somewhere than kept indoors while she was changed.
She was still leaning against the tree when Albus showed up. Jess knew that her friend wouldn't have had any problems getting out here. He was Head Boy. Who was going to stop him? The only person who could would be a teacher. No student was going to try and rat him out. And the teachers took turns walking the halls; they couldn't cover every hall at the same time. It was easy for anyone to sneak out really, and Jessica guessed that that was part of the whole Hogwarts experience. Sure, the teachers would get the students in trouble if they caught one out, but Jess thought that they sort of expected students to sneak around the halls at night.
The blonde girl gave the boy a smile. Was she ready? Well, actually no. But what was the use in telling him that? He didn't need to know that this was always very awkward for her. She wished she was normal. She was very grateful that he had offered to shift with her; it made the experience just a little easier. But it was still weird. She knew that when she changed she was going to be something different. She would be a mostly untamed animal. Sure, she kept a little bit of her humanity because of the Wolfsbane Potion, but the medicine wasn't really enough to keep Jess, well, staying Jess.
“Well, as ready as I'm going to get I guess.” She looked at the sky through the trees. The embarassing part was soon approaching. She could see the sky was getting dark, so she moved behind a tree to take her clothes off. “Thanks again for coming out. You didn't get into any trouble I hope...” Of course she knew the answer to that, but she still thought it was polite to ask.
