A Night To Howl (Isadora)

[Deleted]

Ben was probably the happiest, most playful werewolf in the world. He now ran about the woods of Hogsmeade in wolf form, howling happily and chasing a rabbit. He wasn't trying to kill the rabbit. He had a big dinner at the Three Broomsticks prior to changing and was quite full. There was the werewolf's blood lust of course, but he had been taking a potion to control that. Being one who was just bitten not too long ago, he had to.

Earlier that day, he had been ordinary Ben Maxwell and tutoring a young boy of six in Hogsmeade. He was happy being a werewolf didn't prevent him from living a normal life during the day. He could still do his job and maintain friendships with those he taught, along with his other friends of course. Because of this and the fact that he had gotten better control of his wolf abilities, he rather enjoyed his new existence. Millie played a big part in that of course. Every minute he had been with her was Heaven.

This was the first time, Ben had been out as a wolf alone, but he felt one night away from his pack wouldn't hurt. And he would be careful not to frighten anyone in the village. He didn't want an angry mob after him.

Sometimes it was hard for Isadora to live a normal life because of who she was. She resented the fact that her father had been a werewolf, which in turn she was one as well. She couldn't stand what she was at times, but then she ventured out of Hogwarts and found herself feeling free. There was nothing like running through the woods, the wind rushing through her hair. She did have to take a potion just for safety reasons, but she knew that she could control herself if she had to. Isadora had ventured farther than normal and ended up right outside the Hogsmeade grounds when she caught a smell. She quickly ducked into hiding and slowly made her way toward the sound of another werewolf.

Isadora had almost given up on finding the fellow werewolf when she caught sight of him. He was... chasing a rabbit. She frowned slightly and moved a little closer to study him more. She had never seen a werewolf be so careless and free. Usually they were all aggressive and looking for some one to start something with. She snorted slightly at the thought of the last time she had run into a werewolf.

"Hello." she stated simply.

Ben heard the voice say hello and being a werewolf, it had first put him on the defensive. He turned for a moment and gave a growl before baring his teeth. However, his expression changed when he saw the other werewolf speaking to him was a young, female one. She didn't seem like she wanted to start trouble, and of course he didn't either. He leaned closer and sniffed her. She wasn't one that Milo or Millie knew, but again she seemed non-hostile.

"Hello there," he said. "Sorry for the growl. Still getting use to this whole werewolf thing. I was just turned not too long ago. I'm Ben."

Ben ran over and sat on a rock, seemingly ready for a long conversation between the two. As the girl would have already seen, despite his transformation, Ben kept a lot of his friendly personality. He gave up chasing the rabbit, and figured he should rest given he always felt so tired in the morning after a night out.

"So you look a bit younger than me," he said. "I'm guessing you go to Hogwarts, right?"
