During the next few weeks things got better. Reg is eating more, Barty started to joke again, and after that girls night with Pandora we just keep getting closer. Turns out she has a boyfriend, his name is Xenophilius Lovegood and he's a seventh year Ravenclaw. I met him and even though he's kind of a nut job, he's really nice. They compliment each other so well.

Pandora and Xenophilius sit with us sometimes, at first the guys were wary, but now I think they're warming up to them.

Currently, im wandering the halls by myself. Today is a hogsmeade weekend and my excuse of a father didn't bother signing the permission form. So because I can count my friends with a singular hand, I am forced to walk around the castle by myself while I wait for them to get back.

The castle is now decorated with floating talking pumpkins and there's this eerie fog covering the ceilings, the floating candles are lit with a ruby red flame that has made a few first years run to class instead of walk.

A few have crashed with me in the midst of all that running. Fucking idiots.

After an hour of wandering aimlessly I find myself in the second floor girls bathroom, Myrtle was bawling her eyes out as per usual while I did my business. I have to admit, peeing while a dead girl is in hysterics is really uncomfortable. I would have gone to another bathroom, but they were too far and this one was right there.

I hurried out after washing my hands, that girl is insufferable. I decided to walk over to the hospital wing, sometimes I volunteer to help poppy out. That woman has helped me so much, it's only fair I return the favor.

Opening the doors of the Hospital Wing, im met with that peculiar hospital smell that makes me involuntarily scratch my nose.

"Poppy" I call out.

Poppy walks out of her office in a hurry with various potions in her arms. "I'll be with you in a minute, Dear" she said, before hurrying inside a curtain.

I shrug off my robe and my tie and make my way over to the bed hidden behind the bed separator. "No, im here to help. It's been a while since I voluntee-"

My words cut off when I see a mangled and bruised Remus, he has scars covering his body and new cuts overlapping his old ones. Some are still bleeding through the bandages, and the skin around it is bruised.

His eyes widen when he sees me and panic swirls in them. Poppy whips his head to look at me and immediately starts ushering me out but my feet stayed glued in place.

There was a full moon last night.

Staring at his injured body is bringing back memories I do not wish to remember, so I try to shake those thoughts off.
