Wild Moonlight

Wolfsbane Potion

Two and a half Years Later

     "Thank you so much Uncle this means a lot to me." I said in my white lab coat while my Uncle Damocles helped me create a new potion. A potion to help werewolves control or even stop their change on the full moon. We kept at work for months on a new potion. We added aconite along with other ingredients until finally got it right. The ingredients weren't very hard to come by. Aconite also known as wolfsbane, boomslang skin, dandelion roots, goosegrass, and a few other ingredients, but the potion was very difficult to make.

     "No problem Mariah. I'm just surprised that you wanted to become a potioneer." Uncle D said.

     " I'm really trying to help Remus... he's been through so much, and he hates putting us in danger every time he changes. So i thought... 'What better way to help the man i love than to cure him.' You know what i mean? He hates being a wolf." I replied.

     "So you love him?" Uncle D smiled.

     "Yea... I always have... its just neither of us knew it until we got older." I sighed.

     If used improperly, aconite can kill someone. There was a puff of faint blue smoke and the potion finally looked done. Something about it felt... right.

     "Don't add anything else!" I just about yell as my Uncle was getting ready to put bats blood in it. He pulled back the vial and looked at me.

     "Is it?" He asked me curiously and i nodded. The very first batch of wolfsbane ever created was complete. "Now to test it... but on who?" Uncle D asked.

     "I don't know. Remus doesn't know about this, and I'm not letting him be a test subject on a potion that could kill him." I said with my head low.

     "I think it's time we go hiking again." Uncle D smirked. I instantly knew he had something planned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Uncle D and I hiked a mountain feared by muggles. It was heard that people go up but never come back down. We left Chrystal with the Potters for the days we were gone. The full moon was approaching quickly and I wanted to be there for Remus when he turned. It took five days to hike the mountain. Three of the days to get to a hidden cave that looked kind of like a den.

     "Damocles. Vat are you doing here? I thought I told you to leave and never come back." A Bulgarian man said quietly.

     "Olaf my old friend... My niece and I have a proposition for you." Uncle D said pulling the big guy into a hug.

     "Vat is it?" Olaf asked with a serious looking face... I think more serious than Lily studying for an exam... and that is next to impossible.

     "What would you say if we were to tell you that we had a way to cure your condition?" Uncle D asked him.

     "I vould say you were off your rocker Damocles. Vat is this about?" Olaf asked cautiously.

     "Mr. Olaf... Sir... have you ever fallen in love but thought it was too dangerous? That you would hurt the one you love because you were a werewolf?" I asked with hope in my eyes.

     "You're not... is she?" He asked Uncle D.

     "No... but the man I love is. He keeps pushing people away because he doesn't want to hurt us. He doesn't want to hurt me, or Jamie, or Siri... or Peter. He's scared that one day he wont be able to control himself and end up killing someone he loves. But I... I want to help him in any way I can... and if that mean making a potion to cure him... i will." I said bringing the Bulgarian man to tears.
