"The personality of the werewolf would effect who they were when they were human and able to be themselves. But when they are in wolf form, they have NO control over their behavior. Their instincts are purely dark, regardless of how cruel or kind they are in human form."

"People didn't know how to deal with werewolves in the past and thought to exile them from society. But magic has come a long way in recent years, and a werewolf can have a very normal life and be a wonderful contribution to society. I hope you all will remember that."

"The wolfsbane allows a werewolf to retain his or her sense of self during transformation. Instead of the dark wolf, the person retains their own human mind. They still transform, but the person in wolf-clothing can simply lay low for the night until they change back."

They could just hide out, fighting the urges to kill and dismember. They know they're dark but they don't want to hurt anyone, they just want to be alone." "A werewolf retains no vestige of their former human mind. The kindest, most generous person will still become a creature craving contamination and fresh meat. It has nothing to do with them personally, and everything to do with the dark curse that is connected to being a werewolf. Dark doesn't refer to the bodily curse, but the mental change as well."

I think I've read somewhere that one byt he bame of Fernir Greyback attacked someone while in human form, but the person did not become a werewolf, only features of it, is that true?" She knew that was a kinda stupid question, but oh well... "A sufficiently Dark Wizard who also happens to be a werewolf could do great harm even in human form. They don't have the weapons of their wolf-form, but they are still able to contaminate and hurt in some fashion."
"If there are no more questions regarding werewolves, I'd like for us to move on. Let's begin the more practical portion of this class by discussing several specific creatures and some spells you might use to protect yourself. Does anyone have a creature they'd like to use for demonstration, dark or simply dangerous?"
