S.P.E.W For Werewolves

Abigail Grey x Reader

Can be read as platonic

Ever since the HogsHead became a safe heaven for Abigail’s pack, she’s been busy with trying to help make the place more liveable and better for them. Along with bringing awareness to werewolves as well. As if you would refuse to help her!

Warnings: Werewolfphobia, Renka, disabilities, medical issues, small acts of violence

“Oh! Hey-!” Abigail would adjust her ever present scarf, as to make her words more audible. “I was looking for you. I don’t mean to bother, but do you think you can help me with something?” She asked you, with another fiddle to her scarf.

“Course, what’s up?” You asked, as you looked her over. She seemed to have her messenger bag stuffed with papers, and one was in hand even. Said paper was quick to be handed to you, as if it would explain it all.

The paper itself looked to be an advertisement of sorts. A means to ask the public to donate old books, clothes, what have you, to the likes of The Hogs Head In. A donation to the ‘local pack’ if you will.

“Werewolfism can affect anyone, of any age, as you are well aware of. Not a lot of my pack went to schooling of any kind. Would be nice for them to learn to read and write. More than just their name, ya know?” Abigail explain to you, as you kept looking over the flyer. Such a noble cost it was. How could you refuse?

“Where to first?” You asked her. The way her eyes lit up just had you beaming. It was a noble cause, after all. It’s also her family. Who could say no to family? Well, family you love anyway. As if anyone wanted to dive into that complicated mess.

Onwards you two went. Going through out the halls, and into classrooms that permitted you both to enter. A adventure of simple nature. Hanging up flyers on the hallways, talking to fellow friends to hang them up in their designated hang out spots when they weren’t all busy with whatever adventure the year brought them. Asking teachers if they would be ok with hanging them up. Noble cause. It was all going well. To well, and you both knew it would change. Change, it did.

“Donating to the HogsHead-? For one, why would a student need to donate anything. Second off, why such a place as that?” She scoffed, and that scoff was what you two knew so well. Cassandra.

“Because, not everyone gets an education like us. A lot of witches and wizards can’t read.” Abigail was quick to say, with a spin on her feet. Silvery eyes meeting those hypnotic emerald.

“Sounds like a them problem-“ The blonde scoffed, making Abigail bubble. She took a deep breath, before being more direct with her. Helped that you held her hand, so she could have support.

“Yeah, it’s them who are the issue. Not the fact they were cursed, and can’t do anything about it. Do you know what it’s like to not be seen as human, because of how you were born? How you’ll never be seen as equal, all because your blood isn’t ‘pure’ and is ‘tampered’ with. That you just will never be seen as anything more than inhuman?” Abigail asked, and….Cassandra paused.

You never seen Cassandra think so hard before. Her eyes avoiding both of you. Why was Cassandra not smarting off at you both? Why isn’t she scoffing, and calling you both some insult? What was she thinking?

“…..I’ll talk to Colby about this. He’s the poetry writer. I’m sure he has some old books he has no use for.” And she turned, with a snap of her dress, and left. You two were jaw dropped at the kind gesture. The hell? Cassandra? Kind?

“What was that about?” You whispered, as the two of you begun to head outside. A plan to hang them up around Hogsmeade. “Beats me. Maybe she has inhuman blood in her family as well. Maybe like Veela. Would explain how she seems to escape getting suspended, with all the crap she pulls.” Maybe. Maybe….

You tried not to stress over it, and instead focused on carrying all the flyers for your friend. Letting her skip in-front of you, with such pep in her step. So excited to make that old tavern way more friendly, and enjoyable. She was just so excited, she hardly could hear you call her name. The moment it dawned on her you called her, she crashed into the worse person to bump into. Renka.

Abigail would give a squeak, and was quick to run back to you. She’s no scardy cat, but Renka is the exception. Especially when it dawned on her who had crashed into her pink coat. Had her out right cast a cleaning charm on herself, as if Abigail would infect her. That had you glare, and the woman glared back.

“And what are you two doing here? Shouldn’t you be in that useless school, learning useless things?” She scoffed, as you would hold the flyers closer to your chest. Renka was quick to notice this, however, and was quick to Accio them away from you.

“GIVE THOSE BACK-!” Abigail shouted, throwing her fear aside. For her Pack. “Those are ours!” She added, as she tried to grab one of the papers, only for it to fly higher. Made her slip on the ice, and fall on her butt.

“Let’s see what you two gremlins are doing-“ She huffed, as she adjusted her glasses to read the paper. Meanwhile, you helped Abigail up. Dusting off the snow, and giving her respect and dignity.

“You are trying to scam people! Of course you two would! Trying to scam people out of what they rightfully earned, so you freaks can get a meal ticket!” She gasped, as that had Abigail pink in her face.

“None of that-“ You two gasped, as the papers were now engulfed in flames. “NO-!” Abigail shouted, as she tried to grab said paper. You tried to stop her, but her cry of pain said you were too late. She now held a burn on her hand, and stumbled back. You swore Renka smirked.

“Rabblehauser-! That’s enough-!” The three of you would look over, and see a sight. One being Mr. Weasley, with an older man. Worse for wears, that’s for sure. With a face that was scary to you, but nothing abnormal to Abigail. With his cheek missing, exposing teeth. Scars that cut into his brilliant red hair line, and an eye clearly blinded. The attire made it clear he was a curse breaker. Leather vest, white dress shirt, and a cloak over his shoulders. Fur edging for warmth. Quite the classy attire, compared to Mr. Weasley’s G sweater.

“Deal with her, I’ve got the kids-“ Mr. Weasley said, as he hurried over to you two. “Come here love, let me have a look at your paw-“ He tried to joke, to get her to smile through her tears. Of course, it worked. She smiled, you calmed down, and he worked on applying a palm to her burnt flesh. Something of his own invention, given it smells so sweet.

“Renka, you can’t just keep doing this-!” The curse breaker would shout at her, as he would steal one of the posters from the air. The moment his working eye fell on it, he gasped. Made his scars stretch out even farther. Made your stomach twist.

You had no idea what he said, but it was in a string or another language. One you didn’t know. Seemed Mr. Weasley did, as he snorted. Saying something about how ‘that must have been where Ginny got her potty mouth from-‘ or something.

“Thats Billy. He works at a little ole bank, called Gringotts-“ He explained, before Abigail was soon in his arms. Comforting her, as he would hold your hand as well. Her on his hip, and you close to his side. Comforting you both, while Bill and Renka were screaming at each other.

“He’s normally super calm, but he’s sensitive when it comes to werewolf stuff. That’s the face of someone who was attacked by Greyback. Because of his curse breaking skills, he didn’t get entirely infected. He still has side effects, but he doesn’t transform or infect.” He explained, as that had both of you light up. He was kinda like Abigail, but was still living a successful happy life. Hope. That was hope.

“I’ll bite you-!” Bill warned, and that had Renka run. Let her own stupidity chase her away. The man would shake his head, as he looked so exhausted. Seems it’s not the first time those two fought. With a brush of his cloak, he would return to his brother.

“Everyone ok?” He asked, as you just couldn’t stop staring. You wondered so many questions. How does he eat? How does he still have teeth? Is he actually blind? What happened?

“My posters….” Abigail sniffled, which caused Mr. Weasley to kiss her head. Comforting her. That’s when Bill offered his own arms, and Abigail was handed over. The moment she was handed over, it was like a switch. She seemed to instantly calm, and nuzzled his neck. The bond of wolves.

“Hey, don’t worry. I’ll talk to my pal, Ragnok at Gringotts. See if he can pull any strings on trying to help out the HogsHead. I know Georgie will, by seeing on making wolfsbane to supply the tavern.” That had you both gasp. You were confused. You were told goblins were greedy monsters. Was that a lie? A stereotype?

“They’ll listen to him. Billy is pretty much their kid there. Just a bunch of old men, and their favorite grandkid.” Mr. Weasley laughed, as Abigail had stars in her eyes. There was hope. So much hope for the future.

“Just leave it to us. Now, let’s get you two back to Hogwarts. Hm?” Mr. William said, as you two nodded. That was enough adventure for one day. Even for the likes of Hogwarts kids.

Through a secret passage way, that Mr. Weasley knew, you two were back in the castle walls. Sent away with a few sweets to calm the burns, and show your good deeds deserved compensation.

“He’s like me-!” Abigail couldn’t stop bouncing, as she bit at her Bloodlollipop. “He’s like me-!” Was her chant, as she bounced. He was just like her, and that had you smile.

There was hope for her, and her pack. People who actually cared about them, and wanted them to succeed. To be equal, and have as much of a life as they did. Help did exist, and not everyone thought like Renka. There were people who were even like Abigail, and could still live fulfilling lives.

The future looked bright, and damn. You wanted to keep seeing Abigail smile.

2017-05-28 “A runner that doesn’t know when to stop.” Kubo Shiori Blog #14 [ENG]

The other day, before work, I went with Reno ‘shopping’ for the first time. (We talked about going with the other member the day before, but this was our first time actually going). While ‘shopping’ I saw a store selling a strap that Hazuki would probably have liked, I couldn’t help but want to give it to her and so I ended up buying it. Unfortunately, I ended up wanting it for my self and in the end me and Reno ended up with matching straps.

Hazuki. I’m sorry. Let’s go shopping together next time Hazuki and you can buy the same one. I want Hazuki to be lively again. (I got a message for Hazuki saying “I’m full of energy!”)

Hello everyone. Thank you for your continuous hard work. I am Nogizaka46’s 3rd generation member, 1st year high school student and 15 year old Kubo Shiori. Pleased to meet you.

Well then, I know it’s a little bit quick but, thank you so much for the 3rd generation solo live at Hibiya Open Air Concert Hall that was held on 27th of May!!!! This was our first outdoor concert! It was a lot of fun, the spaciousness felt amazing (´･_･`)！

Personally, the feeling of singing out into the open made me extremely, extremely happy. I haven’t written in any of my previous blogs, but I was given a solo part for “Nandome no Aozora ka?” At first, I was scared, and I couldn’t sing properly, but I thought that it would be disappointing if I sung like that for everyone and so I practiced singing it over and over. I sang it so that my feelings would reach everyone. Yesterday I was able to sing it in the most wonderful environment, under a blue sky. “Wow, this sight is one I’ll never forget.” I thought to myself.

Furthermore, one more thing. Momochan. Well done on your successful piano performance (´･_･`)！!!!! It was positively delightful. After the concert I called out to her “What? Well done on a successful piano performance. Thank you so much 〜♡” she said in a cute and very high energy way. Momochan was toooo cute…so adorable…(´･_･`) From the bottom of my heart I think I’m so lucky to have been able to perform on that stage, at that time, with that view and with these members. I’m also overflowing with gratitude for everyone that came and supported us. Thank you very much.

The time is different, but the scenery changed this much. It was so beautiful that I’m at a loss for words…It was truly a sight to behold. Thank you!!

 Next topic is about our album campaign. Starting on the 24th of May for 3 days the 3rd generation members went to different places and we held a mini talk and handshake event. Thank you very much to everyone that came!

May 24th → Nagoya, Denchan’s hometown.

Our group was Reno, Riria and me. We ate Miso katsu, Chicken wing, Hitsumabushi (eel fillets cooked over charcoal with soy flavored sauce, cut in small pieces and served on rice). We devoured all the delicious food! It was the best! It was so much fun!

I’m the hunter of sleeping faces.. Reno is completely protected. I laughed.

May 25th → Tokyo Akishima city

It was the same members as Nagoya. This time the event was outside! It was fairly hype! Thank you for coming even though it was raining slightly. (´･_･`) Because it was an outdoor event it was probably cold wasn’t it… Please make sure to not catch a cold (´･_･`)

 May 26th → Niigata, first time in Niigata!!

This time I was with Renka and Reno! Thank you so much for coming out even in the pouring rain. This is only for the fans that were able to come out but the three of us sang “Nandome no Aozora ka?” in harmony. Acapella. After that, for only a second, the skies cleared up. Please everyone don’t catch a cold. Thank you so much. Ah, the Tare Katsu was delicious…

And just like that I was able to enjoy going to various places (´･_･`) Thank you very much everyone. Doing three days of handshakes in a row was fun.

There were a lot of people that said “This is my first handshake event!” Hearing this made me think that “I’m so happy that there are people that came to see me even at event like this. It’d be great if I could do it again.”

By the way, for this campaign we were split into groups of 3 people, a total of 3 groups, with each group going to a different prefecture. Renka, Momoppi and Minamin went to my home prefecture, Miyagi. That told me about all the delicious food they ate. I wonder if any of my friends back home went to see them?? But I don’t know.

Oh speaking of which, I’m going to do a short little hoooooometalk (Hometown talk)

When I was in my third year of middle school the schedule for our class trip overlapped with the Tohoku Under Live performance in Miyagi. (´･_･`) I was so shocked I was on the verge of tears… I was truly thinking about skipping the class trip. I talked it over with 5 or 6 other people in my class, but since I didn’t want to cause trouble for anyone I obeyed and went on our class trip to Tokyo. (It was enjoyable), but even still Kubo Shiori isn’t one to give up.

No matter what I wanted to go, and so I timidly asked my trustworthy friend “If you want…Do you want to go by train to Yamagata…with me?” And just like I though they said “sure.” I was extremely lucky, but also unlucky because my seat was 2 rows from the back.” I never would have thought that that day would be the day that my life would change.

The first concert of my life and also the first time seeing Nogizaka46. Somehow there’s not a single feeling I have that can describe it, excitement, happiness, enjoyment, delight…regardless of words for some reason watching them warmed my heart. I would say secretly to myself that “I think I want to be a part of Nogizaka46”

Honestly, if at the time my friend had said that they wouldn’t go I probably wouldn’t have gone either… Thinking about it now, the only reason I’m here now is because they were there.

In addition, the other reason I’m here now is all due to a lot of coincidences. The fact that Nogizaka 46 came to Tohoku, that our class trip overlapped with the Miyagi concert, that I was able to get tickets, that I was in the second to last row, and that the 3rd generation seminar was right after that. Hmm… It’s pretty deep. It’s precisely for this reason that I’m doing the most I can for the present. I want to enjoy the time that I have now. Thank you for the circumstances that I have right now.

The connection between each individual is tied with the changing of another’s fate. I want to be an inspiration on the life of another. I wonder what I’ll leave behind in your lives?

The Tohoku concert changed my life. My first time hearing the song “Futougou” live will be added to the first press limited edition release version of our new album “Umarete Kara Hajimete Mita Yume” on the concert selection DVD. This is the moment where my life changed. Everyone please make sure to check it out〜There are also a lot of other songs that have been added.

That being said, our new album is now on sale. I’m grateful that the two 3rd generation songs that we recorded are also going to be on that album. The first is 「Sanbanme no Kaze」It’s our first song and it’s a song that will cheer you up. The second song is 「Omoide First」I a song that is perfect for summer, it’s both cute and refreshing song. Both songs have good points and are both important and loveable songs to me. 「Umarete Kara Hajimete Mita Yume」Definitely check it out. Thank you very much.

 I still have a lot to talk about…will you let me talk about it(´･_･`)？I’m sorry.

Welll then!

Thank you so much for the handshake event in Kyoto today!! It’s my first time in Kyoto, it’s an amazing place.

During my 3rd slot I wore…a summer blue knit top and short pants with a ponytail.

During my 4th slot I wore… a white short sleeve blouse with navy blue gaucho pants and French braided hair.

I wore the same clothes in the 4th and 5th slot, the only difference is had a tied up French braid.

Anyways the handshake event went something like that. There were a lot of topics that were talked about but the ones probably talked about the most were… “3rd generation solo concert, the outdoor concert, and NOGIBINGO???” Hearing everyone’s honest feelings the day after the concert made me happy! Another thing I feel I heard a lot was “You should do face yoga!” I did it the best I could〜 I’m excited to see everyone again in Kyoto during our album’s individual handshake event. Thank you so much to everyone that came.

 For the first time in a while, it’s a Q&A session!

·         What products do you use in your skin care routine?

I use Curél’s sensitive skin products. When the season’s change, my skin becomes sensitive and as a result I try my best to not change any of my beauty products (´･_･`) However, over the summer I’ve been investigating a more refreshing toner than the one I have now so that I feel less sticky. I’d be glad to talk about it during the handshake meetings as well!

·         Are you someone that bring the sun or brings the rain?

When I was in elementary school, whenever we went on an excursion or whenever there was an event there would be clear skies. However, recently when we did the mini talk in Niigata, I started to doubt my powers a little.

·         What’s a reoccurring problem for you?

Hmmm…….probably waking up with a leg cramp.

·         What dialect do you often use?

This right here. Where I was raised there wasn’t really any dialectal variation. That’s why when people come my handshake and plead to me asking “Say something in your dialect” I can’t say anything….I’m sorry (´･_･`) But the other day, after I said to Minamin “ah, it ain’t pleasant!” she looked confused(´･_･`)！

I know it’s short, but I’m going to end the Q&A here for today!

 I want arm muscles〜.(´･_･`)

Even though I did cheerleading and badminton most of my arm muscles have disappeared(´･_･`) 

Must...Train... .(´･_･`)

Ayatii. I call her Ayanochan. I can say with confidence that she’s a big sister and that I love her. She’s elegant, nice and she always gives me food. She also listens to my serious talks. She always calls me “Tempestii chan” Ayachan is lovely. As a person I respect her. Even though I just saw her I miss her already.

(TL Note: The Japanese translation of ‘Tempestii chan’ is ‘あらしーちゃん’ which is a probably a mix of  嵐 ‘storm’ and しーちゃん ‘Shiichan’ one of Kubo’s nicknames.)

Oh yeah, that’s right. Thank you for the comments on the previous blog about your impressions on the outdoor concert. I also received impressions about the solo live along with other comments that filled me happiness, such as “I wanted to go” or “you gave me energy.” Thank you for truly supporting me. Every time I read each and every word that everyone has put their feelings into I think “wow, I’m such a lucky person.” Thank you. Thank you.

 I’m hungry!!!

“Ahh” munch. “Derichious” are what these pictures represent.

The other day when I went to all you can eat, during that time my hands were consonantly moving for an hour and a half, afterwards I told the other members, “I don’t think I can eat another bite.” Food is the best.

 [Next time]

YodaKubo’s adventures will be released all at once!! Coming soon! Don’t miss it.

 Tomorrow’s blog is Tamamiiiii’s 〜 I’m going to climb Sakaguchi slope. You want to climb it with her sometimes, don’t you? No, no, all the time (´･_･`) lol

(TL Note: Sakaguchi slope is a pun on Tamami’s name which has ‘saka’ in it. Although spelled differently it’s pronunciation is the same as the ‘saka’ used in the kanji used for the ‘zaka’ in Nogizaka)

For me, my next blog update will be on June 9th.

I’ll write again soon.

 Kubo Shiori

 Something I realized recently. A human life, while we are alive, seems to have different chances swirling all around us, but I think “I wonder when I will get those chances” and “I wonder if I haven’t noticed those chances.” There will be many times where you will be confronted with the thought “Of course this is an opportunity,” but of course opportunities come and go without you know anything about them…

This is what I realized recently. That’s why I don’t want to waste even a minute or a second, why I can’t waste it. Even though there may be fears I can’t yet see, it’s especially for that reason that I see these moments as opportunities. Because I can’t see what lies in wait, I need to pierce through them with all my strength. Even within that, up till now there are probably an uncountable number of opportunities I’ve let slip by and as a result I need to make up for them, all of them. NO, I’ll will make up for them and more.
