"You didn't." Not really, not when Ruby is a monster and she knows it.
Don't be upset. Ruby smiles at that, though it's an unhappy thing. "Thing is, Hermione... there's not a day that goes by where I don't remember the people that I hurt when I didn't know I was a wolf. And there are days when I can forgive myself, or tell myself that I should, because that wasn't me. But... sometimes? I wish I was still under the curse, and didn't remember that I'm Red, and that the Wolf was still shut away by dark magic."
Ruby shakes her head, at that. "Messed up, right? I want back the thing that made so many people miserable."
