Thinking Back

Curtains Crest

Trust

I'm really nervous about beginning my first year at Hogwarts. For me, it'll be significantly harder because of the fact that I'm...well, I'm not like the other students there. I'm a werewolf. But I'm a nice person once you get to know me! It's not like I'm the wolf all the time. It's painful when I am, though. I can't stop myself from doing anything and if I do do something harmful, I remember it, and I have to live with it. Knowing I could do nothing to stop myself doesn't help either. After a time, I figured out why 'wear' is the prefix. Dumbledore said he's going to make it possible for me to go to school no matter what. I haven't been told how exactly he'll be doing this, but he's a brilliant man, Dumbledore. I trust him, which is saying something, because I can't even trust myself.

Truth

We've known him for three months now and Remus just told us that he was a werewolf. That gave me a shock--and yes, it had been necessary to faint! It was a manly faint. That's what James told me. He might've been teasing though...he seems to do that a lot and I can't tell anymore. Sirius has a plan for us to become Animigi so that we can run around on a full moon when Remus turns. Apparently werewolves don't attack animals, but I just heard that from Sirius, so I don't know if it's true. We're planning on starting the project soon. Remus doesn't know and I don't think we want him to. He'd probably say no, so I'm tempted to slip him a hint. I really am scared out of my pants about this whole thing. Especially the part where I have to turn into an animal.

Certainty

I don't know why, but it just feels right. You know how two rights make a wrong or something? Well, this is nothing like that. It's like a wrong and right making a right. Like when a person looks at another person and they just know they're going to have each other's babies. I saw her and I knew. Lily Evans is going to have my babies. It's principal now, because I can tell that she hates my guts. It kind of makes me want her even more. She's like forbidden fruit, harder to get at and has a hell of a lot more consequences, but tastes so much better in your mouth. It's only year three. I still have four more years to make her love me. That's plenty of time.

Pestilence

His name is Severus Snape and we all hate him. He's a little greasy-haired git who thinks he's so much better than everyone else. Thinks he's so intelligent and always puts on a holier-than-thou attitude. That's our thing! We've been at each other's throats for years now--how long have we been in school? Four? Yeah, that's it. Four years and we're still browbeating. I suppose it's just turned into habit. See him, jinx him, move on. Probably get detention for it later because he's a prat who has no dignity and he'll be proud to sick a teacher on your arse. I don't care much. He's just a pest, an annoyance, and I hope he burns his eyebrows off bending over his cauldron...damn, that's a good idea. I think I'll give him a little help with that next period.
