I looked into Erised once, when I was young enough not to fear my dreams.
I saw myself as an adult, with friends and a job. Looking happy. Looking normal.
But underneath was another vision. I saw myself running in the forest, my face covered in blood. As I watched I could feel my muscles twitching, wanting to Change even three weeks from full moon. Wanting, just once, to escape the shack and obey my nature.
Every day since then I've felt the presence of the fracture in my mind, and every time I Change it gets harder to return.

I don't like the night any more.
When we were young it was our time, concealing us and making our adventures more exciting.
Then everything changed. James, Peter and twelve years in Azkaban.
Twelve years of darkness.
Even at noon there wasn't much light. At midnight canine vision couldn't help me.
***
Molly was surprised to see how neatly I always make my bed - she said I didn't seem the type. I didn't tell her that I haven't slept in it.
Every night I change into a dog.
I crawl under the bed.
And I wait for the morning.
