Secrets of the Full Moon PV Wren Windgazer closed

[font=big caslon]Wren wasn't sure what exactly brought her outside that night. It was getting late, she had an assignment to finish, but still she had wandered out to the courtyard. She had come there a couple times to think, it was peaceful enough, but never at night. It was almost refreshing. Instead of people walking around trying to get wherever they were heading, everything was still and silent. A chill wind blew across the ground, barely stirring a leaf, as it worked its way into the endless space above. There weren't many clouds in sight, and the dark sky contrasted the beautiful full moon.

Wren let out a sigh as she continued walking around. This was her favorite time of day and for reasons she didn't know a wave of homesickness washed over her. Earlier that day she had received a letter from her family. Her brother was visiting her parens and the three of them had sent an owl asking how she was doing. She wasn't usually one to miss home, she didn't have the best family in the world, but that reminder that she was alone must have triggered something.

"Oh god, sorry, completely my fault. Wren!" said a voice as she turned a corner. Wren leaped back slightly so they wouldn't run into each other, and she recognized the smiling girl before her.

"Scarlet? What are you doing here?" she asked out of instinct. Most people generally weren't out this late. But at the sight of her friend all her worries had washed away.[/font]

"I could ask you the same thing," Scarlet replied jokingly, her mind scrambling to think of anything to say other than the truth. Maybe she could tell her friend she was meeting up for some kind of club, Astronomy perhaps, but then what if she became interested and wanted to tag along. Or, she was carrying out an errand for one of the Professors... that was ridiculous, what kind of Professor gets students running errands this close to curfew.

'I'm actually a werewolf and on my way to the Shrieking Shack to be locked up for the night with all the other werewolves from Hogwarts so we don't accidently kill anyone,' she played out telling Wren the truth in her mind, she didn't think it would go down well. Though the thought of telling her friend the truth wasn't inconceivable, Scarlet believed that those closest to her should know, after all it was a part of her. But she questioned whether the night of a full moon would be the best time, although Scarlet knew nothing would happen till later tonight, she didn't expect Wren to be so calm.

"I'm meeting up with some other students and professors," she began, all of it true of course, but where from there, she wondered. Come to think of it, she was sure the idea of some students being werewolves wasn't a big secret, her being one though was, her friend might already jump to conclusions.

"...in Hogsmeade... specifically the Shrieking Shack," she added hesitantly, her expression now more neutral. If Wren made the connection, that was if she was aware of the werewolves in the castle and how they were dealt with, Scarlet hoped she wouldn't be completely freaked out.
