I wasn't meant to happen like this, I was helping out Bill Weasley when we were attacked by a werewolf, Fenrir Greyback. Bill took a claw to the face but I took one to the chest. The difference was, he wasn't full werewolf when he attacked bill but by the time he'd gotten to me... I grabbed Bill and aparated straight to Remus Lupin's house.
Fortunately Bill hadn't been infected with lycanthropy but I wand so lucky. I stayed with Remus for a few months, he showed me how to brew Wolfsbane potion and how to avoid the full moon. "I need to go away." I stated, sitting at the table in the Lupin house. "I can't go back to the Weasleys now. What if I hurt someone? What if I hurt Fred? Bill you'll have to tell him I was killed." I looked across at a healing Bill. He'd come to visit.
"He knows you're alive. I told him you'd made it."
"Then tell him I died from... complications. It's better for him to grieve and get over me than live with knowing I'm some kind of monster... no offence Remus." I was on the verge of crying. "Please Bill. It's the lesser of two evils. If there's even a risk that I could hurt him, hurt any of you then I'm not taking that chance. I love you all too much." He looked down into his lap.
"Fine. But I'm not going to like doing it. You mean the world to him. He's worried sick about you." He sighed, giving in.
"Thanks Bill." I spoke standing up, picking up my bag, "thank you Remus, Tonks, for letting me stay and for taking care of me. I'll make sure to keep up with the potion." I smiled before walking out.
Two years have passed, it's been awful. Thankfully I haven't attacked a single person, I have however kept an eye on the Weasley family. They're doing well, Fred and George even opened a joke shop. I saw that last time I went to Diagon Alley to pick up my potions supplies. I pulled the hood of my robe over my head to hide my face, taking a quick look at the store, the twins running around, selling and promoting numerous products. They looked happy and I was thankful for that. I made my way back to the small flat I rented, it wasn't much but it was somewhere I could sleep and brew my potion, keep myself away from people.
Tonight wasn't least favourite night. Full moon. I was walking home late, I had taken my potion so I would still transform but at least I'd still have my mind. I hadn't anticipated waiting so long to buy a new cauldron. I could feel how close I was to transforming so I quickened my pace. I wasn't going to make it. I found an open window and climbed in. When taking wolfsbane I still have my mind when I transform but usually sleep through it. I curled up in the corner of whatever room I found myself in and slept. When I woke I was still in werewolf form but there were voices. All too familiar voices. "It could be Lupin. They obviously took wolfsbane and climbed in through the open window."
"Yeh. No sign of damaged or forced entry." The other added. "Wait. Look." He stated as I began to change back, curling up into a ball not only to cover my body but my face. I couldn't let him see me.
I could see my reflection in a window, I didn't recognise me anymore so why should he? My hair was longer and unkempt, I was thinner and looked sickly, my eyes were dull and had bags under them and I was covered in scars. Yes I hadn't attacked people but it doesn't mean that people hadn't attacked me. "It's a woman." The first voice spoke. I knew it instantly. Fred. "It's alright. You're safe." I curled away from him as he leant to put his hand on my shoulder. He shed his long outer coat and laid it over me. "Let us help you." He spoke again. I shook my head and disaperated.
When I aperated into my room I curled up, bawling my eyes out, pulling the coat up to my face, a scent I was all to familiar with filled my senses. He wanted to help. If I was anyone else I would've let him but I'm dead to him. I can't.
I managed to pay for the coat to be cleaned and I laid it on the doorstep of the shop early the next morning atop it sat a note.
'Mr Weasley,
Thank you for your offer of help and your kindness. Not many people show me such compassion.
I'm afraid your compassion is misplaced, I would be nothing but a burden and bring you great sorrow but I am thankful none the less.
X'
I watched from the shadows as he retrieved it while opening up the store.
That was the last I'd seen of him for another few months, until he aparated into my room. He just stood staring as I was mixing up my latest brew of wolfsbane. "This isn't possible." He muttered. "This is a trick. You're dead." He was on the verge of tears. How could he recognise me.
"Yeh. I am. I told you I would only bring you sorrow." I turned away but felt a hand on my waist, turning me back to face him.
"You have been alive this whole time? I was broken, I thought you had died."
"Most of me has. I didn't want to put you in danger, or George, or Ginny or anyone else. So I told Bill to tell you all I'd died that way you wouldn't come looking for me. That way you wouldn't be at risk of being hurt or worse, ending up like me." I stepped back. "Please Fred, just go. Don't make this any harder than it needs to be." He walked towards me, his hand outstretched.
"Come home." He spoke cupping my cheek in his hand.
"I've thought of nothing more for the past two years, but I can't. Look at me Fred, I'm nothing any more. That woman Umbridge has made it impossible for me to get a job, I can't buy a house, I'm practically a second class citizen. A rotting place like this is all I deserve. Now go. Please. I'm begging you. Go now."
"Why?"
"Because if you don't, I'll get too attached again. I can't let that happen." I cried. "Go. Find someone. Be happy, please. You and George are so happy, doing so well in your shop, so go or I'm only left with one option and it's my LAST resort."
"And what's that?"
"I'll have to obliviate you. It's not what I want but if you forget about me you won't have to worry about me." I cried harder pulling out my wand. "Or, I obliviate myself, I forget about you. Either way then one of us won't care about the other so I'm giving you the choice now to leave." I placed the tip of my wand to my temple.
"Wait." He raises his hands in surrender. "Please. Let me just do one thing. Then I'll leave. Just a hug." I hesitated, pulling my sleeves down over my hands, placing my wand on the table.
"Okay." He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me. The feeling was instantaneous, home. I hadn't felt this sense of belonging in so long. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his chest. "Damn you Fred Weasley." I mumbled, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Come home. George and I will look after you. If you keep up your potion you'll be okay you won't hurt us. Please. I just got you back I can't lose you again." He whispered, leaning down and kissed the top of my head.
"Okay. But I'm sorry I'm not the same girl I was two years ago. Look at me."
"You're the same as the day you went away with Bill. Get you home to mum and she'll sort you out." He smiled. "You deserve to be treated properly, I saw the scars."
"Not everyone knows that a sleeping werewolf is docile and on wolfsbane, I can't always help where I change and sleep. People just see a werewolf and attack."
"Well you'll have a home, a job, people that love you. You'll be back to yourself before you know it. If Remus and Tonks can have a relationship so can we again. I prayed that bill was wrong that I'd get you back."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves Fred."
"So you don't want to?" He looked down.
"I do. Believe me I've thought about you constantly but this is a big change for the both of us so let's just take it one step at a time eh."
"Okay. I'm just so glad I have you back."
"Me too Fred. Me too."
