"It's a fitting punishment for a monster. To want something so much
-- to hold it in your arms -- and know beyond a doubt
you will never deserve it."

The Curse of the Moon is a curse unlike any other. The person who is burdened with it has no say in the matter, they must change under the light of a full moon. From there, they are blinded by intense rage and hunger with no way to control themselves. When the night is over, the cursed wake up surrounded by blood and bones, most likely belonging to their loved ones. And when Daphne Aldridge turned sixteen, that curse was bestowed upon her.

Before that fateful day, she was just a regular Witch attending Hogwarts. She had friends, she had good grades. But as a werewolf, she could never have any of that again. In all honesty, Daphne believed that she would never see the outside world again. That was, until, her Charms professor, Albus Dumbledore, came up with an idea -- every full moon, she and a Hufflepuff student named Newt Scamander, a boy rather talented in the care of magical creatures, would hide away in the Room of Requirement, suffer through her transformation and wait it out until she once again turned back to normal.

NOTE: If you've been following me for a loooooooong time, you might remember a story very similar to this! I don't even remember what I titled it, only that Lily James was the og faceclaim. The Harry Potter universe has always been a huge part of my life, and so I wanted to bring back this revamped fic, but was hesitant because I don't wanna support the TERF herself, Joanne. BUT I just wanted to write this story again and that bitch won't stop me because the Wizarding World is so much more than just her creation and we as fans can take it back through small things like this. So, that being said, please enjoy!
