I hadn't been expecting to die that night, after all, why would your best friend have any reason to kill you? That's exactly what I thought. Sure, I've heard that werewolves tend to forget their life when they turn into a werewolf, but I never thought it was true, I mean, how could Phi forget me?

It had been just an average night, we were being rebellious students by staying out late, I guess we might've wandered a bit too far into the forbidden forest, but that's normal, we had done that so many times I know the place like the back of my hand. there was just one simple problem, I looked over to Phi and noticed her eyes had gone black. It was then when I looked out into the night sky, only to see the gloomy clouds moving away to reveal an extra full moon.

I felt a chill creep up my spine as I turned around to see my best friend tearing away her clothes to reveal a tall, bony, pale white creature with eyes that pierced my heart. I didn't move, just like in class, we had been told not to move if you were to cross paths with a werewolf. I couldn't even breathe, by heart pounding inside my chest must've gave me away, because I saw the creature's ears perk up and it's head whirled to glare at me. She bared her sharp canines and drool dripped out mixed with a thick, bubbling substance that resembled blood.

I did my best to not move suddenly as I slowly started to back away, and then it happened, I heard a small crack from the twig that snapped under my feet and in a whirl of growls and darkness, she lunged.

It was at this point that I decided it might be smart to run, even though I knew I could never outrun her. As I ran I didn't dare look back, but I could still hear her large, jagged claws tearing up the ground as she sprinted towards me. I could feel myself getting faint as I started running out of breath.

"Friends forever?" I had asked her after close to a month through our first year.

"Of course!" Phi had giggled and pulled me into a giant hug. Her embrace was warm, I missed that, it was at this point that I realized there was no escaping her, and when she came out of it in the morning, she would do horrible things to herself, I couldn't let that happen. I had to survive, not just for my sake, but for hers as well.

When I came out of my flashback, I looked around and noticed I where I was, still in the forest. I looked around but saw no sign of Phi, I was safe for now, but I had to get back to the castle.

I started to run again, always checking my surroundings, but then, out of nowhere, she pounced. Suddenly, I was lying on the ground, pinned down by the monster that had taken over my best friend.

"Phi! Phi, it's me!" I cried out to it. Nothing happened.

Phi opened her mouth wide, about to attack when I was able to slip my wand from my pocket and point it at her.

"Locomotor Mortis!" I screamed as a bright purple stream of light shot out of the tip and forced Phi backwards and to the ground.

I stood up and ran away as fast as I could, the spell wouldn't last too long considering that I'm just a fourth year.

As I was running, I glanced behind myself for just a second, I realized what a mistake that was when I slammed headfirst into a giant tree.

"Where are you going Phi?" I had asked as she was being taken away by a teacher.

"Don't worry, just go up to bed, I'll be back before you know it!" she had smiled at me.

"But why?" I had started to cry. "Why are they taking you?!"

"Just go back to bed, Hazel, everything is okay."

"But....."

I opened my eyes to a bright blue sky. I slowly got up but instead of moving my body, it just lay there. I stared at it in disbelief and absolute horror. There my body sat, scratched up, bloody, dismembered. I covered my mouth to keep from screaming, but then I looked at my hands, they were blue and slightly translucent. I was covered in large gashes. I rushed to a small pond and looked in it, I admit I screamed. My eyes had turned black and they were bleeding profusely.

I looked around me and saw Phi laying on the ground, huddled in a fetal position as she whimpered. I got closer to her and noticed she was clutching the locket I had given her, second year. It had a picture of us together in it, snow was falling all around up as we giggled to each other.

I tried to escape it, but I still can't, every night, that scene is replayed in my head, of how she tore my body to shreds simply because we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I still feel the rush of adrenaline, the terror I felt as she stared me down before bounding after me.

I remember the ceremony the whole school had for me, in honor of my life. I never quite understood that, why would they talk about how great I was instead of talking about who won the house cup? I mean, I don't blame them, it was probably Gryffindoor, ever since the famous Harry Potter was at this school, they win every time.

I've had to endure watching after Phi every night she's out, it now my job as an official Hogwarts ghost. I seen so many terrible things, so many unnecessary deaths, just like mine. It makes me shiver to know that there's no controlling the beast that possesses her every full moon.
