It had been a month since the school term had started when October 5th came around. Which made it the second full moon of that academic year.

As soon as lessons finished, Elladora could be found in the potion's room in the dungeons. Being Slughorn's favourite student, and a member of his house, had a lot of privileges for Elladora. 

One being that she was allowed alone in the potion's room whenever she wanted.

So, naturally, she used this to her advantage. She, of course, had her potion to make Remus's transition easier brewing in one cauldron. But in another, she had her first making of her wolfsbane potion brewing. Everything seemed to be going well so far.

Both potions were very hard to brew, let alone at the same time. But Elladora somehow managed. The one that she had been making for the past five years was quicker than her wolfsbane potion, so she focused on getting that done perfectly. She was also brewing a healing potion, which had a faint yellow tint.

The original potion that helped the pain was a faint green colour, very similar to the healing potion colour.

Then, once that had been completed and bottled up, she put her sole focus on her new potion.

She was so engrossed in what she was working on, she didn't hear the door open.

She made sure to read her instructions as she went along, not wanting to mess up the potion which has been four years in the making.

It had been half an hour of intense brewing before the potion was completed. There was a faint blue smoke pouring from the top of the cauldron, signifying that it was complete. It relieved Elladora since, if it had not been successful, the potion would be poisonous because of the aconite.

She bottled it into as many phials as she could, knowing that she made it for Remus to drink it once a day for a week leading up to the full moon. The downsides, especially for Remus, would be that sugar makes it completely ineffective and it would taste rather awful.

Elladora, whilst bottling them, finally saw the duo who had walked in the room. Lily Evans and Remus Lupin. She, of course, had forgotten that Remus would be by the pick up the original potion.

"Rem, Lils? What are you two doing here?" Elladora asked with a furrowed eyebrow.

"We've been here for half an hour." Lily stated with a small smirk.

"We came to pick up the potion." Remus said afterwards with a smile.

Elladora smiled and nodded, "Of course." And she handed him the potion which was a faint yellow colour.

"What's that one?" Lily asked with an inquisitive tone, seeing as it was not one that she could identify.

Elladora cleared her throat, "Well, I've been working on a potion since I learned about your condition - Rem - and I think I've perfected it. It's safe, I know that, but I need you to test it out. If it doesn't work, then no harm done, but if it does-" Elladora stopped herself and looked at the phials.
