--Chapter one--

"No you bloody wolf you add the ground tiger fangs before the fire-lizard scale!"

The sneering voice echoed through the dungeons of Hogwarts. However the only one to hear was an irritated werewolf who at this point was very upset with his mate. Severus had been like this since Voldemort's demise four months previous. Remus had no idea how he stayed sane through Severus' rants and mood swings, if the werewolf didn't know better he'd say his mate was pregnant.

But it was impossible for Sev to have children as Voldemort had taken that away from him two hours before the final battle had taken place. Tom had found out about Sev being a spy solely for the light and had acted accordingly. He had taken the thing Sev most desired, a future for the Snape family.

Remus was getting tired of being put down or told off for his advances at night. It was driving him mad, slowly. Werewolves when they find their mate tend to become possessive and often feel driven to show dominance toward their mates. Remus didn't know how long he could keep Moony away from Sev. Every time Sev would come close to him, Moony wanted to claim Severus again just to show he could. He wanted to show their mate that he was theirs to do with what they will and Remus was slowly losing the fight.

Severus on the other hand had no idea what was happening to Remus, all he knew was he didn't love the wolf and he didn't want to stay with him anymore. After the fall of the Dark Lord Remus had once again become the DADA professor much to Severus' chagrin. Four months with the wolf constantly there Hogwarts had become unbearable. That was why he was here in his potions lab at one o'clock in the sodding morning. He was making a potion that would hide his sent as that was what Remus used to identify him as his 'mate'.

Only two more ingredients and he would've been finished but things just wouldn't go his way tonight. Remus walked in and attempted to strike up a conversation and then tried seduction well it didn't work. So when Severus turned his back he tried to sabotage the potion.

It was glaringly obvious that it was important to Sev so he did as the wolf inside him insisted and added the shredded fire-lizard scale, at least that's what it looked like at the time. Who knew a potions master would make the simple mistake of using and unknown scale instead of the one specified for the potion? Not Remus that was for sure but who knows maybe it was fate giving these two deserving men another chance at happiness?

Not long after the scale was added did a screaming match begin in the lab, between what was once a happy couple. As they were both engaged in out yelling each other they failed to notice the potion glow a dazzling deep shade of violet, but they did hear and feel the explosion that rocked the dungeon lab. The only thing either of them will remember of that evening was the pain.

The night of the potions explosion someone else was out and about. A young hero but for the moment we'll call him Harry. Harry was making his way to the dungeons because he could feel something bad was going to happen.

That was something he had never told anyone not even his late godfather. He could feel when bad things were going to happen to others but never to him, which is why he can keep others out of trouble but not himself. It started when he was four and his friend Amanda had been about to scrape her knee, if he hadn't caught her she would've ended up with a huge bruise that wouldn't have gone away. She had had some condition that meant she bruised easily and could die from a paper cut. From there it had gotten progressively stronger until he could see the persons involved and how to stop something but not the outcome of the situation.

Right now all he knew was his last family was involved and he had to help. Remus was all he had he wouldn't lose him because Moony chose Severus Snape of all people to be their mate. It was a common misconception, people getting Moony and Remus mixed up all the time.

You see Remus is the wizard, the host for a spirit of a wolf in this case Moony. Most humans that get bitten often say they are the wolf as well but they get it wrong too. Harry has spoken to the true wolves inside of the vessels or hosts depending on your point of view.

What most don't understand and what Remus never accepted, was that the wolves inside of them were their own persons. They thought and acted as they would normally, which is why a vessel/host will act like a wolf a lot of the time. It's merely the wolf inside them trying to get them to understand how to cope with the transformations. But none of the humans have listened so far, if someone had he'd never heard of them at least.

Hearing a shout from the potions lab he made his way there careful not to be too loud or Remus might hear him and then he'd be in trouble. Standing outside the door to the lab he could hear them arguing about ingredients and then not being mates something about convenience. He ducked into an alcove close to lab know instinctively something bad was about to happen and he was right.

A huge explosion rocked Hogwarts cutting off his once professor and the last of his family. Wanting nothing more then to crawl in a hole and die he started crying softly hearing an echo and another made him stop. Wiping his tears he fumbled through the wreckage and found the sources of the echoes.

Two children who couldn't be more then seven looked up at him with hope and a little fear. One was draped in large black robes and had beetle black eyes, while the other had bright sapphire blue eyes and was draped in light brown robes that seemed to have been patched one time too many.

"Remus? Severus? Do you remember who I am?" Harry called in a soft voice not wanting to scare the kids. Severus seemed to be contemplating something then looked at Remus and smiled. He and Remus both turned to Harry and said in unison.

"Daddy." Then they both promptly passed out. While Harry was wondering, exactly what had happened.
