The Real Wolf Girl {A Harry Potter Fanfic}

"Oh Merlin, are you serious?" I only looked at her like she was insane. "Right, sorry." She said and heaved herself up onto the counter.

"I'm going to bed." I told her and made my way to the stairs.

"Can I stay here tonight? I don't really want to walk home alone." She said and followed me.

"Yeah, sure." It wasn't like I was going to say no. When we got to my room I fell on my bed, leaving room for her and fell asleep rather quickly. I only woke up once in the night because Ashley kicked me in her sleep. We usually do that to each other at some point. We also can't share a blanket peacefully. We often have epic battles in the night...not that we remember what we did to each other.

"Isabella, wake up! You've got work to do." My aunt Lisa said as she walked into my room, pulling the covers off of Ashley and me. I groaned and curled into a tight ball. "No, up." She insisted as if I were a dog.

"Fine." I grumbled and got up.

"Be down in twenty minutes." She said and left the room. I threw the blanket carelessly back over Ashley, who was somehow still sleeping. I grabbed some clothes, took a shower, got dresses, and did whatever else needed to be done. By the time I was finished Ashley was awake.

"You can just hang out up here or whatever. Just don't break anything." I told her and walked out of the room. I had decided not to tell Aunt Lisa about last night. It would only make her worry and I don't want to be a bother to her.

"It's about time." She said as I walked down into the shop.

"Sorry. Long night." I said and looked around at the people around the shop, reading quietly and looking through the shelves.

"Here, put these up will you?" Lisa said and handed me a box of books. I walked to a back corner of the shop and started looking through the books and finding places for them on the shelves. I worked peacefully for a good amount of time, until I heard a knock on the book case. I turned my head and froze. It was him again.

I took half a step back, but I pinned my hand to the table.

"Isabella, just listen to me." He took a step closer to me and as much as I wanted to turn tail and run I stood my ground. You should never be brave and stand your ground around a werewolf, but he would only catch me again if I tried to run away.

"W-what do you want?" I asked in a shaky voice.
