hehe um... rewrite?

Well since I read the seventh book... I decided to rewrite the second chapter... hehe

With Dumbledore's help, I was given the opportunity to attend school. An opportunity that I thought I had lost when I was bitten. I would be starting just like every other eleven year old. There were, however, a few things that I had to remember while I was there. My parents explained to me that there would be a secret passageway leading out to a house on the outskirts of the wizarding village just outside of Hogwarts. I was to use that passageway and stay in the house during my entire transformation. I was not to leave the house at all while not in human form.

I realized that these "rules" were for others safety as well as my own. Whenever I changed, I completely lost all sense of reasoning and judgement. I was a raging, bloodthirsty beast that would attack anything that moved and breathed. My father knew all of this, so before Hogwarts, whenever it was time for me to change, he would always take me deep into the forest, away from the village, let me change and come collect me in the morning when I had passed out from exhaustion.

I was so excited to finally be going to school that even the jeers and glares that I received from the other children and their parents couldn't bring me down. I felt like the luckiest person alive to be going to a school where nobody knew me! One thing did bring me down though. I had relied on my parents so much after I was bitten. They were always there to cheer me up after a bad day and they always kept me safe when I changed. I would miss their help and love. I knew that I would be back during the summer and winter holidays, but something inside me was still hesitant to let go of that dependency.
