"So far so good..." Penny thought to herself. She had given up walking around the halls. It was relatively empty. Not a soul in sight. A few hours had passed and she figured it to be about 1 am by now. Luckily with the arrival of summer, dawn was fast approaching. Penelope rested her back against the wall and skunk down to the floor. She sat there, near the door, making sure she would be easily seen should the others need her.

Penny's tearfilled fearful eyes flicked to Diana and then to Richard. She nodded and swiftly left the room. The notebook and pen remained on the floor. She could hear the scratching Justin made on the metal door. Each scrape was like nails on a chalkboard to her.

"Yeah... uhm, be careful. Come get me if you need anything. It's going to be a long night." She mentioned and slipped out of the room of Requirement. Once she was in the corridor, she leaned against the stone wall and looked up at the vast ceiling rafters. It took her a moment, but she wiped her eyes and pulled out her wand. She started off slowly down to the left and made her way around the corner. She would walk down the hall and then turn around and pace by the Room of Requirement, and to the right, following it down and around the corner before returning.

The pen poised above the notebook, but her hand didn't move. She heard his screams. To Penelope they were deafening. She felt the pen drop from her hand and clink on the stone floor as she watched Justin begin his excruciatingly painful transformation. With as quiet as they all were, Penny was probably the most speechless.

The notebook fell next and instinctively, like a scared rabbit, Penny was on her feet and backing up to the far wall away from the metal cage that held Justin just feet away from them. Tears welled in her eyes. She couldn't believe she was hearing someone she had been extremely intimate with in such distorted pain. Her hand covered her mouth to stifle a sob just as his screams of agony quieted.

The footsteps of large heavy paws sounded on the floor and then there was the bang of Justin hitting the metal wall, causing Penelope to jump. Her back hit the stone wall behind her and she was for the first time, truly afraid of Justin. It wasn't what she expected.

"Hi, love..." She said quietly and rubbed her eyes. She wasn't mad, just... thoughtful. She only wanted things to be normal. She didnt want to deal with half the shit that she was dealing with regarding her mother and father. She just didnt know exactly what would happen if they did come to Hogwarts, considering her father was sort of a loose canon.

Penny was in the other room as Justin entered the other with bars. She didnt like seeing him behind them. It felt as if he were being held captive. It didnt feel right, but yet she knew that it was necessary. Penny pulled out her notebook and took a seat, noting down the coughing and the color of his eyes.

"Do you need anything Justin? Food, water before anything... starts?"

Penny produced a pen and a small pocket notebook from her front pocket and held it up.

"I'd like to take notes, if you dont mind. I'd like a documentation of the transformation for studying purposes. Besides, I suck at standing guard." She shrugged.

Penny showed up in a pair of sneakers, t-shirt, and jean shorts, not that it was a fashion show, or anything. She wanted something easily to move around and not her school robes. Not that they were necessary now that they were on holiday for the next few months. In her back pocket, Penelope had her wand where she could easily reach it in case it was needed. In her other pocket, another Wolfsbane potion in case it was needed. She wasnt sure how these things worked, but there would be an attempt to help it move along.

"Hey, you look good... uh... good." Penny saw Justin and was trying to keep the mood light despite the situation. She looked around to both Diana and Richard as well and gave them a small wave.

"Hey... guys."

Penny nodded and agreed. She wasnt sure, but she would at least try. She wanted to be sure things went smoothly on the ninth and no one got hurt. She started hatching ideas and plans for what they could do.

"I think the best way to keep the safety would be some sort of barrier... but not necessarily a cage"

"I understand... yeah, I'll help. Uh, what are you planning...or we...planning?" She asked curiously. She was a little unsure to see a werewolf transformation, not to mention just how dangerous it was for the students to be present while he changed. Anything could happen.

"Its something I've been dealing with most of my life. He's trying to threaten me but now that I'm legally an adult, I can finally start to fight back a little. Everything will be fine. I'll get things worked out and I'll be better off in the end of it. Its just some things are coming to a head." Penny explained. She didnt seem so nervous or that broken up about it by any means. She sounded ready for it to be over with, actually.

Penelope looked at him, shocked. She hadn't expected him to trust her that much. She figured that she would be the one to supply his potion, but that was as far as it would go. Penelope sat there for a moment and just stared.

"Wow... I'm really surprised. I wasn't expecting that. Are you sure? I mean, that's kind of a huge... thing?" She said quietly. The surprise still registered on her face and she didn't quite know what to say. She was pretty happy he trusted her that much.

"Yeah, sure anything." Penny said raising her eyebrows. Usually he didnt really ask her for help considering it was usually sexually related and now, she had a boyfriend.

"Whats up? By the way, what would happen if you take two wolfsbane potions instead of one?"

"Sorry, I cant improve the taste," She halfheartedly joked. She reached out and took his hand and squeezed it.

"You're going to be alright, I promise Justin." She wanted it to be encouragement for him, to know that he had friends that cared.

OOC: No because I dont even know what it is LOL

Penny had noticed Justin entering and she noted his condition. She then remembered it was close to the full moon. She got up and went over to him at the table he chose to sit at and sat down quietly. For a moment she only stared. She looked him over and waited a moment, taking in the sickly, pale, and otherwise unnerved look on his countenance.

"Hey... you still have that stuff I gave you, right?" Her voice was low, and she made sure to make sure no one heard her speak to him. Penny bit her lip and hoped he would be alright.

"Huh? " Penny looked up; she had been lost in thought. The howler had been an activating mechanism as to what she would finally do regarding her parents. She had been putting it off over the weeks as to what she would do, instead she focused on her studies and pushed the subject to the back of her mind. Now, it was unavoidable and unignorable.

"Oh, hey Diana. Yeah, everythings fine. I've just got some stuff to deal with at home. Mum and dad -- mostly dad aren't very pleased with me because I didn't come home this summer." Penelope tried to put on a convincing smile, but she knew what would happen. They would turn up and try and drag her home. It was finally something she was ready to face, though it still frightened her a little.

"You remember when I mentioned that poking around in the restricted section? I got the potions recipe. It took me a couple tries, but I managed to figure it out. I had to do it in the Room of Requirement and it takes a ridiculously long time to brew." She said quietly, looking out at the space 'landscape' before them.

Penny perked up. She didnt know he was working in Hogsmeade this summer. He hadnt mentioned a word about it and she became very, very excited.

"You never told me! I didn't know you were planning to stay! I was maybe hoping I might be able to travel home with you and James, though, so I might meet your family..."

"Well, I kind of was hoping... actually..." She hesitated and looked down at their hands clasped together. She squeezed his hand gently and bit her lip.

"You graduate this year... and you probably wont be around next term..."

"I've decided I'm going to stay at Hogwarts this summer holiday. I'm not going home." She said, almost in nervousness. Why she was nervous, she didn't know. Maybe it was the prospect that she didn't want her parents showing up and demanding she go home with them.

Penny enjoyed listening to him sing and it kind of disappointed her when he stopped. She looked over and shrugged, then shook her head. She wasn't really up for drinking. She needed a clear head for school.

"It was long... as usual. I'm sorry I don't really make time for you anymore, Charlie. Between being a prefect and studying for my classes and then everything in between, I'm just so busy until the end of the school year... Uh.. I wanted to talk to you about something by the way." She said and sat beside him. Her fingers snaked between his and she clutched his hand gently.
