He was looking at me wide eyed. He was in his school robes still but his figure so still that he was almost missed by my eyes. I howled and he jumped back and then I ran away, with the painful thought that now Eddie knew my secret as well.

After reaching the top of the hill on the other end of the forest, I rested there for a while, till the time was nearing an end. I got up and reluctantly ran back to my campsite. To my painful shock, Ed laid by my pack, bloody on his forehead and fainted. As soon as i tumbled down to the floor and turned human again, i quickly wore my jeans and jumper and ran over to him. I checked his breathing and it was steady. He'd just fainted.

"Ed?" I shook him slightly, nothing, "Renervate." I spoke with a staggering breath. He gasped awake and coughed sitting up.

"What happened?" I asked, checking his body for anymore scars.

"Malfoy." His jaw clenched, "He attacked me blind."

"Okay. Are you alright? Do you think you can walk?" I asked.

"Yeah." He nodded and i helped him. He stood and looked at me, "You're a..."

I dropped my head.

"Well, thats pretty cool."

I chuckled.

"Not really."

"If I were you, I'd have ripped Malfoy a new one." He shrugged.

"Alright, lets get you in before you kill him."

"I might just." He mumbled. I laughed and led him back in. Madame Pomfrey checked his head and healed him with the healing charm. She told him that he'd taken a hit to his chest, so she gave him a potion and recommended to stay the night till his ribs would heal. Whatever Malfoy'd hit him with was strong.

I wasnt allowed to stay so I thought I'd ask questions when visiting hours would start. I headed back to the common room and when I entered, Harry snored on the couch. I wanted to talk to him but suddenly didn't feel like it. I threw the throw on his body and headed up to my dorm. Showering, I took a nap of couple hours before it struck seven and I snuck out to the Hospital Wing.

Ed was still asleep, so I just sat by his bed and thought about the night. Ed knew. Malfoy hurt him. Merlin, what next?

I was away in my thoughts when...

"Lost in thought?" I heard and looked to find Ed staring at me, laid on bed.

"Nothing special. How are you?"

"Better. The pain is much less so i hope I can get out and kill Malfoy." He grumbled and I chuckled.

"What were you doing there?"

"I followed you."

"Why?"

"I was curious. Nancy had a theory that you might be a werewolf." He sat up and i straightened, "And she was... right." He inhaled a deep breath.

"Sorry." I gulped.

"Whatever for? You didn't kill me." He shrugged.

"Dont tell anyone, Ed. I'm trying to keep this secret a secret for as long as I can."

He nodded.

"Im glad I know." He spoke.

"Really?"
