Brigitte didn’t know what was going on with her today. She had bad dreams all of last night that forced her up in the wee hours of the morning. They were the usual nightmares of four-legged creatures, blood and a horrible sense of dread and fear. It didn’t take a psychiatrist to figure out what those dreams were about but Brigitte had never experienced so many in the past few days. She had to wonder if it had anything to do with the moon but the teen hoped not. Everyday Brigitte had taken a dosage of monkshood so surely she didn’t have to worry about changing again, right? When the teen had finally hauled her ass out of bed at 11 am, she had been overcome with a wave of nausea and was lucky to even make to the bathroom before throwing up.

Maybe I have a stomach cold, she thought once her stomach started to settle down. A hot shower made her feel a little better but soon a gnawing feeling developed in her stomach. Hunger or stomach cramps? Brigitte wasn’t sure but figured a cup of tea wouldn’t hurt at the moment. She dressed casually and comfortably in loose, well worn blue jeans and a light, long sleeved red shirt with a graphic design. Light enough for the weather but long enough to hide the scars on Brigitte’s body. Once her clothes were on she grabbed her beaten in black docs and set for outside.

The brunette was in for a shock when she stepped outside and discovered the place had changed yet again. Gone were the sandy beaches and brilliant blue waters to be replaced with green hills with tons of trees and greenery. It kinda reminded Brigitte of how the planet had looked when she first arrived but there were obvious differences. Like the rows and rows of vineyards for example. Brigitte might have been more unnerved If wasn’t for the fact that she had seen such a thing happen before, so she simply looked around briefly before heading to the café inside the resort. There would be time to explore later on.

Once she reached the café, Brigitte’s stomach pulled more tricks on her, sending a sharp pain through her midsection. The teen groaned, slumping over for a moment before the pain passed. She sought out a table close to the door and quickly sat down before her stomach acted up again. What the hell is going on? Whatever it was, it showed on Brigitte’s face as her skin took on a paler hue than normal. It seemed to take forever for a golem to come over though so Brigitte looked around the café. Was she the only one here?

No, there’s someone over there, she realized. “Hi, do you know if there are any golems around or is it self-serve today?”

"Whoa".

Brigitte watched with amazement as Tonks whipped out her wand and made the salt and pepper shakers levitate and then calmly made her own order while the condiments floated in the air. Then Tonks did something even more amazing to Brigitte, she changed her hair colour. Now that doesn't sound very dramatic but to Brigitte it was quite impressive to see a woman shift from pink hair to purple hair and then back to pink within a few seconds. Hogwarts? Brigitte thought, her forehead scrunching up at the odd name but she didn't really give it much thought. For the most part Brigitte simply couldn't get over the fact that Tonks could change her appearance so easily.

"I'm...I'm fine", Brigitte replied. Not the most convincing lie so she added, "I think I have a stomach flu or either that, I'm really, really hungry", she added sardonically. "You run into supernaturals a lot?" she asked curiously. Since Elminster, Edward, and John all knew about werewolves, Brigitte was sure there were others who probably did too and more than likely Tonks was one of those people. "So have you ever met a werewolf?" she asked, her tone light so as to not betray her interest in Tonks answer.

Unlike Ginger who throughly enjoyed being a werewolf, Brigitte was still looking for a way out of her curse. So far, no luck but that Brigitte more open to ways of dealing with her problem. Elminster and Edward had offered the teen their knowledge on werewolves and Elminster had even offered his help for when the full moon came around. Maybe Tonks knew something that could be of use to her.

It would be great if she could teach me how to shapeshift back and forth, Brigitte thought but that was unlikely, seeing that whatever Tonks was, it was clearly different from werewolves. Still, a question formed in Brigitte's mind that she just had to ask. "Have you ever turned into an animal Tonks?"

She grinned, clearly pleased by the teenaged girls surprise. At first, it had been weird, getting used to no one understanding what she could do. Now, it was just sort of neat. Clearly, someone that had brightly colored hair was going to be someone who loved attention, and Tonks was certainly no different. All these Muggles were doing wonders for her entertainment, though not in a malicious way. She was just more than a little delighted by the shock and surprise that most of them seemed to show.

Once the food was ordered and the condiments were safely back on the table, the pink-haired witch turned her attention back to the teenager. She raised an eyebrow as the girl tried to claim she was okay. Though Tonks might not seem it, she was fairly intelligent and perceptive. Had to be, in her line of work. And she was pretty good at telling when people were lying to her, in general. So when Brigitte changed her story slightly, Tonks nodded.

"Yeah, that's not very good, have you tried any potions to help with that?" After all, that's what she would do. Then, the teenager completely changed the subject, and Tonks tilted her bright head to the side and just looked at her for awhile. She didn't respond right away. Which was a good thing, as her conversation and lunch partner continued on pretty quickly. Supernaturals? Interesting enough. Werewolves? She pursed her lips. Very interesting indeed.

"Yeah, I got a friend back home, kinda had a bit of a crush on him for awhile, actually... over a long time ago, of course, but he's a werewolf. Nice bloke, good with kids."

She gave the teenager a searching look, and then leaned her elbows on the table comfortably. She was proud of herself for not falling over in the process. To most, this would have seemed like no big deal, but for her, it was a minor miracle. Making a quick guess, and having no idea if she was even right, she kept going.

"Yeah, so, my changing stuff... it's natural. Can't be taught. I mean, you could use spells, and I think Remus used a potion or something to keep his werewolf nature under control, mostly, but what I do can't be taught."

She, too, spoke in a very casual way, as if they were discussing the weather. She didn't want to make the girl uncomfortable, and if she was guessing wrong, well, it was just easier this way.

“Potions? No but then I never thought about it”, Brigitte admitted although she was thinking about it now. It appeared that Brigitte’s suspicions were right as Tonks confirmed that she did know a werewolf. In fact, she made it sound like it was downright ordinary to know werewolves but what really got the teen was what Tonks said next: Her friend controlled his curse with potions.

“Really?” Brigitte breathed, no longer able to hide her interest. It didn’t seem like there was a need to hide it anymore anyway, as Tonks already knew werewolves existed. “Does it work? This potion your friend makes”, she added to clarify. The teen knew she was being incredibly obvious now so she decided she might was well spill the beans as it were. “To be honest, it’s not a stomach flu that’s bothering me”, Brigitte explained in a low voice. “It’s more of a symptom of the full moon if you catch my drift”.

The girl didn’t elaborate further as the golem finally came out with their food. It smelled heavenly to Brigitte who had already picked up a whiff of it before the golem even came through the door. She said nothing as the creature set the food down in front of the women but eyed the bacon hungrily. It had been a long, long since Brigitte had eaten meat. For a moment she completely forgot about potions, werewolves and witches and focused simply on sated the hungry beast in her stomach. Not that she made a slob of herself but for a while it was easy to see that Brigitte was more interested in eating then talking for a moment. A few bites settled her stomach and Brigitte felt the pain in her stomach ease slightly as she ate some meat.

Maybe it was just hunger Brigitte thought for a moment but another twinge in her stomach corrected that idea. “Sorry, what were we talking about?” Brigitte asked after taking a mouthful of hot tea. “Werewolves, right. So you wouldn’t happen to know how to make that potion, would you?”

Tonks nodded thoughtfully as the teen talked. She'd kind of already figured it out, of course. Despite her clumsiness, which most people seemed to use to discount her, she was very bright. And the teen had made it fairly obvious, at least to an Auror like Tonks. There had just been too much interest for it to be a casual conversation.

"Yeah, I guessed. I saw it enough in Remus." The witch glanced up as her food was brought, her eyes lighting up. She was pretty hungry. As the golem set it down on the table, she once more levitated the salt over, this time to sprinkle some of the condiment on her food. Okay, so she was showing off just a little. It would have been easier to reach over and pick it up.

They ate in silence, and the Auror was just hungry enough to allow this. Normally, of course, she would have been chattering the girl's ears off, but right now, food was much more important. She did, however, notice that the girl spent much more time with the bacon than anything else. Yeah, definately a werewolf. When the girl spoke again, she was ready.

"Yeah, I can make it. I always got top marks in my Potions. But Severus Snape, he's here as well, and he's even better at it than I am. The best Potions wizard ever, really." She paused and wrinkled up her nose. "Kind of grumpy, though, but very talented."
