It occurred to me just now that as of next month, I'll have been a werewolf, in the real world, for a year. It's hard to believe that once a month for the last year, I've transformed into a werewolf. Like in my dreams, I don't think I would have been able to get through this without Sirius' help. Sirius and Severus. Were it not for the Wolfsbane that Severus makes me, I'd be a rabid monster once a months and instead, I'm able to control myself while I'm transformed and having Padfoot with me makes it even easier. Of course, I'm still exhausted and achy the next morning, but there's no way around that.
