Jerry's whole day had been annoying. Firstly, he had done so badly with Transfiguration, secondly, been told off by Headmistress Oshiro because some annoying sixth years had told a lie to the headmistress about Jerry doing something. And now Jerry had to do his schoolwork for his worst subject, History of Magic. In frustration Jerry stabbed his quill so hard in the parchment, which made a gaping hole. "That's great!" he said sarcastically.
"What?" Someone said.
Jerry looked up and saw Ella standing there.
"Have had such a bad day!" he said grumpily.
"Oh," said Ella. "Well, how about you go outside and get some fresh air? It's a perfect sunny day today."
"Fine fine!" said Jerry.
Soon they were out in the sunny grounds. Jerry stretched out on the grass and closed his eyes.
"I'm just going to go around here," Jerry heard Ella say.
" 'Kay," Jerry said tiredly. He opened his eyes and stared at the blue, blue sky for a minute then he closed his eyes again and then drifted into a peaceful sleep.

He woke suddenly and it was already getting dark. He stumbled to his feet and called for Ella. She appeared quickly. "Oh, you woke!" she said.
"What have you been doing this whole time?" Jerry asked.
"Exploring."
"No - I know where you went, you went to see Flame by yourself!" said Jerry. "It's dangerous in there at night - there could be werewolves - it's full moon."
"Uh... well fine, I did see Flame and besides, I didn't get hurt or anything," said Ella. "Anway, it's about dinner time."
She began to head up back towards Hogwarts castle.
Jerry started towards her but stopped abruptly. He was sure he had heard something behind him. He slowly turned around. He saw... he saw... a werewolf standing there at the edge of the forbidden forest.
"Jerry? What is it?" asked Ella.
Without turning around to face Ella, Jerry whispered. "Run when I tell you to. Okay?"
"Uh... okay..." her voice sounded scared. She had obviously spotted the werewolf.
"Three... two... one... RUN!" yelled Jerry and he bolted away, grabbing Ella's hand as he went.
Ella ran as fast as she could as well, but she wasn't as quite as fast as Jerry. She looked as though she would just collapse on the ground and cry. But she didn't. She kept on running.
The werewolf ran after Jerry and Ella, growling loudly. It sprinted swiftly and it was almost up to Jerry and Ella. Then Jerry suddenly grabbed a tree branch and started climbing up. Ella did the same. The werewolf could not get them up there. If they had kept running, they wouldn't have been able to reach the Hogwarts doors, and the werewolf would have got them.
The two students climbed up to the very top of the tree. Ella sat on a thick branch with Jerry, panting loudly.
"That was really close," whispered Jerry. "Really close."
Ella nodded, shaking.
The werewolf pranced far below them for a while. They were there for ages and finally the werewolf headed back towards the forbidden forest. As soon as it was out of sight, Jerry and Ella started climbing down the tree. Then when they got down, they ran for Hogwarts. When they got inside, they saw the potions teacher right there. "Where have you been? It's past dinner time!" he said.
Jerry explained briefly.
"WHAT? A werewolf? You've been in so much danger!" exclaimed the teacher. "Now don't go out when it's full moon. Haven't I already told you that? Now get to bed!"
Jerry and Ella sprinted up to the Gryffindor common room.
They didn't bother to change into their bed clothes, but instead collapsed onto their bed. It seemed like only seconds before Jerry fell into an uneasy sleep.
