My next classes went by quite quickly. I decided, before going to Dracos dorm, I'll head to the library to try and find out more about the curse. Hopefully, if I look in the restricted section again, it might say more about it. Hopefully.

I scanned the many books in the restricted section and pulled out all the ones about werewolves. If someone saw me with all of these they'd think I'm insane. After a few more minutes of searching, I took a seat in the far corner of the library. I made sure no one was around as I started my research.

*****

Nothing. There was nothing about the curse. No information, no explanation absolutely nothing.

My nerves started to build up. There really wasn't anything I could do about it. My future was already confirmed. I never would of thought that at the beginning of the year I would have lost my parents, transformed again and already been put on my death bed. I thought I would live a long and happy life. With Draco.

I put my head in my hands and gripped my hair out of anger. Everything could have been good if I was like everyone else, a normal witch, not a mudblood, not a werewolf. Things would be so much more simple.

"Leah?" A familiar voice interrupted me from my thoughts. I looked up and met the eyes of a dark haired boy with round glasses. The familiar Harry potter.

I sent him a welcoming smile, trying to hide the disaster in my life. "Hey." I greeted him.

"That sure is a lot of books about werewolves." He laughed, scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh yeah aha I just find them interesting."

"Oh well you could always talk to professor Lupin." He started. I know of Lupin but I have never met him before as he isn't my teacher for any of my classes.

"What would he know about werewolves?" I asked.

"Well, he kinda is one." He chuckled.

"What!" I shouted a bit to loudly as a few heads turned our way. Harry laughed at my reaction and took a seat next to me.

"Yeah, you should talk to him if you wanna know more about it."

"Where is his classroom?" I asked quickly. This could really help me. He might know about the curse and ways I can prevent it.

"Third floor on your left." He smiled. I quickly packed some of the books that I haven't had the chance to read yet and put them swiftly in my bag. It was heavy as fuck now.

"Thank you so much Harry." I yelled as I rushed out of the library and headed to his classroom. This gave me hope. Hope of life.

After a long walk I finally reached Lupins classroom. Before entering I thought about what I'm supposed to say. Could I tell him about myself? He's the same thing as me so I guess I could trust him. I doubt he'd ever do anything to hurt me. One, he's a professor. Two, he will understand me, he's been through what I've been through.

After taking a deep breath I slowly opened the door and peeped my head inside the empty classroom. My eyes set on the middle aged man sat on a dark oak table. "Can I help you?" Professor Lupin asked as he brought his eyes up from his papers to meet my own.

"Oh yes sir." I started as I fully walked into the room. "My names Leah Austin and I was wondering if I could talk to you about something." I asked.

"Of course come take a seat." He said friendly. I moved my body to one of the desks near his and placed my heavy bag on the dusty floor.

"So what could I help you with." He smiled. I fiddled with my fingers as the nerves started to take over my body but I quickly pushed them away. I needed to do this. For my own sake.
