I was sitting in my dormitory, day dreaming about Alexander. Mike, Charles, and Peter were in the Ravenclaw Common Room. Then I started to feel shy again... It's been three weeks since I've gotten back to Hogwarts and tomorrow night is a full moon... I wasn't prepared... I found myself wearing more hoodies and becoming distance from my friends and not as open as before... Hope, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Fred, George, Percy, and Oliver all understood why but Alexander, Alex for short, didn't. He kept trying to get my attention but I just become more shy and insecure about myself thinking, 'Why would he ever like a monster like me...?' or something. Hope told me that he is starting to seem a little depressed... I told her to tell him that... I'm a little ill right now and all. I didn't want him to know or find out about me being a werewolf... Dad always got me a hoodie for Christmas since I like sleeping in one sometimes. Now I used them everyday... Pa has grown more concerned for me. I told him I was fine. "Casey, Potter and your sister want to talk with you." I rose my head from my arms that were on my knees when Mike, who has glasses, brown hair and brown eyes, and is slightly shorter than me, came and told me this. I nodded and got out of my bed. I went down to Ravenclaw Common Room and went into the Hall beyond the painting. Harry and Hope were there, concerned face expressions. "What's wrong...?" I said in a low voice. I've pretty much lost my cheerful and happy voice by now. "Dumbledore wants to see you and Pa's there..." Hope said. I felt my face grow pale. "He likes lemon drops remember." Harry said, winking but not smiling. I started heading to Professor Dumbledore's office, scared.

I made it to the door. I knocked three times. "Come it!" I heard Dumbledore say. I come in, nervous. "A-am I in t-trouble P-p-professor?" I asked very nervous. "No... Not one bit Casey. But your father has grown to worried that you have changed very much since you've gotten back to Hogwarts. And, seem not to be telling anyone why." I looked over to Pa, he was looking down, I think trying to hide tears... I hugged my adamant, feeling guilty. "Sit down please Casey." Dumbledore said, showing a seat in front of his desk. I took in a shaky breath. I glanced over at Pa and he was looking at me, concerned more than ever, tears in his eyes. "W-well... I-I've been feeling more... Insecure about myself..." I said in a somewhat whisper looking down. "I-i sometimes feel like a... A monster... Even though I've only dealt with two, tomorrow night three, I feel like I'm a monster..." I also said. "Is this the reason you've been wearing more hoodies and kinda been pushing yourself out of your small group of friends?" Dumbledore asked. I nodded slightly. "And your tone in voice... It sounds unhappy and uncheerful..." Dumbledore also said. I looked up at him. His midnight eyes gave a twinkle that would normally make my spirit happier. But not anymore... "I'll leave you too alone for a bit. I know you need it." Dumbledore said, leaving the room. 

I immediately got up and went to hug Pa. "I'm sorry Pa... I'm sorry I never told you... T-that I felt like a monster and that I felt insecure about myself..." I said. Pa hugged back. "I felt the same at your age... I just his it when I was around my three friends... You could have just told me... I would understand anything since I had to deal with the same thing. I, unfortunately, didn't have a parent that was a werewolf, not even part." Pa said, sounding a little disappointed when saying I could have told him about all of this. "I'm sorry Pa... I don't want you to be disappointed..." I mumbled. "You understand now that you can always come to me about anything right?" Pa said. "Yes... No matter what I'll come to you..." I said to him. I knew I was going to be a little more happy after this...
