I wrote these during the last full moon after a conversation with a friend about how the moon can affect people in lots of different ways.
My first attempt at posting fic on LJ please be gentle. No warnings I don't think this needs any.
Full moon drabbles
#1 Staff
ATTENTION ALL STAFF MEMBERS
Please be aware that this month’s Full moon will coincide with Friday the 13th, as you all know this will cause an uprising in the amorous behaviour of our students and will require your utmost attention.
Head of Houses please ensure that all dorm staircase wards are reinforced to prevent unpleasant repercussions
Madam Pomfrey has requested an extra supply of hazel and elderberry be made available to Prof. Snape so he may brew an extra strong batch of contraception potion.
Mr Filch please lock all broom cupboards.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster.
#2 Hermione
Hermione Granger waved a fresh piece of parchment in front of her face, suddenly feeling overly warm. ‘For Godric’s sake girl, calm down’ she chided herself “it’s just Fred and he wasn’t winking at you anyway.’
“It’s probably just the moon” she says aloud.
“What’s just the moon?” asks a familiar voice in her ear. She jumps and spins around to see the grinning face of George Weasley mere inches from her own.
Hermione cannot find her voice as he winks at her and says “Hi there”
“Um...arr...Umm Astronomy homework?” she blurts out looking down at her transfiguration essay.
“Whatever you say Hermione...”
#3 Luna
A bright full moon illuminates the sky, stars shine brightly through a thin canopy of trees. A light breeze lifts the silver strands of the young girl’s hair from her neck as she twirls to a song only she can hear. Her body moves with grace, as she twirls her skin glistens with an otherworldly glow. She rises upward on bare tiptoes as she turns her face toward the impressive orb in the sky. Her eyes are alight with a peace and joy that few could ever match and even though in her heart she knows that a war is coming for this night she will not let it affect her.
#4 Remus/Marauders
“You do realise he could kill us don’t you?” Peter asks shyly.
“Remus would never kill anyone no matter what, “Sirius growls in response before grinning at his friend and saying” Where’s your sense of Adventure anyway, Wormy? Are you a man or a mouse? ” he demands as he burst out laughing.
“He’s right you know,” James insists “Remus wouldn’t actually kill us. He might rip our throats out and turn us into werewolves too but at least we will be together on the full moon forever then.”
“Exactly!” Sirius is practically bouncing with excitement now. The three friends have been researching Animagus transformation for two years now and tonight they will finally join their best friend on his lonely full moon vigil.
#5 Charlie
The very first time Charlie saw a real live Dragon was during the full moon of September 1991. He arrived at the reserve just after dark and after a quick tour of the research centre a young brunet wizard called Henri took him to a viewing area that reminded Charlie of the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch. The dragon was a Scandinavian Silver-tongue, and as soon as he saw the moonlight reflected off the creatures metallic blue scales, he knew he had found his true calling as well as his happy place. For now and forever dragons would be his one to love.
#6 Bill
Bill Weasley may not be a proper werewolf. He may not transform into a dark creature once a month on the full moon. He may have a stunning wife and three equally beautiful children that love him without question but…
Bill is part werewolf. Bill has had very dark thoughts and craving every full moon since his attack. Bill always without fail takes himself away from his loving family for that one night a month when his mind and his natural instincts make war with each other sending him stir crazy. He goes off on his own and mediates from moonrise until morning when the sun returns with his sanity.
