4:30 as soon as classes finished, Edith Wheeler heads to the forbidden forest. Saying she heads there early was an understatement, she was there before the sun even set. But if she wants to keep her sane mind on the full moon she has to shift before the moons up not after. She just hopes now the boys have the map that they will not come looking for her.
On full moons they went looking for her before but she always makes the same excuses like she was in the room of requirement and fell asleep or she went to Lily's for a sleepover. Today if the boys check where she is . There will be no hiding it.
Edith walks until she is a fair bit into the forest, her hair messy and her faced grimaced. Her wolf side wanting to break free. She silently puts down her wand in her satchel which stays on her when she shifts.
She then launches herself into the shift and screams as her bones break and mend themselves back together as a wolf. Lower to the ground she sniffs around her surroundings heightened.
She lets a loud howl escape her lips as she follows her natural instincts and sinks into the hunt.

"Hey, Moony have you seen Edith? I wanted to do poisons with her before the full moon. But I cannot seem to find her." The raven haired boy asks the lounging werewolf.
"Umm, no. You know how she is, always disappearing!" Remus says laughing uneasily.
"Right..." Says Sirius. "See you at the shack then." He says going to search the castle.
***
Just before the sun sets. Four Gryffindor boys walk down towards the whomping willow. Before they enter the whomping willow they hear a loud howl from the forest. Sirius watches as Remus face winces at the sound.
"Its okay Moony, just a wolf" James assures the werewolf boy.
"Yeah... just another wolf." Remus says as the boys drag him into the shack.
Edith watches from the wood through her wolf eyes she notices Remus uneasiness about the full moon and wants to comfort him. But she cannot go do that without the boys knowing its her and that is not possible. She won't be abounded again.

The next morning a beaten up Remus and the boys bring him back to the castle. Dropping down into the common room almost falling asleep. Edith enters through the portrait in her clothes from yesterday, her hands scarred from the roots she trod on whilst making her way back to the castle and her arms scratched from where her wolf has walking.
"Where were you?" James croaks tiredly looking up at the battered girl. "What happened?" He asks suddenly wide awake noticing her cuts.
"Nothing, how's Remus?" The young girl asks slipping down on the floor next to where he is asleep on the chair. Muttering incantations to fix his cuts and stich him up.
Remus eyes sleepily open. "Morning Blue," He says peacefully.
"I stitched you up, your looking fine for classes" The girl says smiling at the tiered werewolf.
"Edith, your arms." He sighs looking at the girl.
"I know, fix me up, please?" The girl asks looking into one of her best friends amber eyes.
"Okay" He says muttering spells causing her cuts and bruises to go away.
"Hold on, this seems regular you two stitching each other up?" Asks an annoyed James, Edith is keeping something from the group.
"It is nothing don't worry yourself James," Edith says sighing.
"But... But." James splutters annoyed.
"Its nothing James" Remus assures sending me a small reassuring smile, he has got Edith Wheelers back. Honestly it is the least that he could do, she always stood up for him.
Sirius and Peter and the boys lazily sleep on the sofa. Edith awake worrying, does she tell the boys and risk the rejection or keep it to herself and stay lying to them every full moon.
