Author's Notes: Guys, I'm sorry to have been out for so long. I was finishing the J2 Big Bang Story I was writing with my friend Mystik Ivanow. It is a long story and we had to finish until May 1st and I'm glad to announce we did it. Here we come again. Short chapter but I'm already working on next one.
It was late at night and they had slipped outside. It was full moon and Castiel wanted deeply to look at it. He was missing home that night and knowing somewhere his whole family was mobilized to keep Ted out of trouble on the Full Moon made him feel a little bit closer to them. Ted could get nasty on the full moon.
"Why are we here, again?" Scorpius asked, shaking a bit. "It's cold." He complained.
It was early December and the wind was cutting on their skin, the snow covering the fields around the lake which was starting to freeze. By Christmas it would probably be perfect for Hockey.
"We are here to ask the moon to be kind, Sting. Most witches and wizards don't think about her anymore, ignore her in the sky, but she used to be mother to all witches and wizards. The Moon is very powerful. Old magic and all. My brother has werewolf blood. He gets restless and violent in the full moon. Dean and dad usually have to keep him home. When it gets really bad, they have to get him locked up in the panic room." Cas focused his eyes on the bright silver moon that reigned the sky that night.
"What about Wolfsbane Potion?" Scorpius asked, chattering his teeth even if he was wearing a heavy overcoat lined with fur.
"It doesn't work. He's only half wolf. And half metamorphmagus and his body chemistry screws up the effects of the potion. It's not safe to use it on him. My brother's existence is a miracle. The books say that werewolfs can't have kids as a norm at least not kids of their blood after they get bitten."
"Of course," Scorpius snorted. "No one in your family could be remotely normal."
Cas laughed. "Talks the first Malfoy in History to turn on his family and befriend the freaks instead of the high and mighty."
"Must be a freak myself." Scorpius answered lightly and smiled with his best friend. Ever since his fight with Castiel in the beginning of novermber he tried more and more to understand his friend and to enjoy his company. To see the world through his eyes. Castiel was a being of delight and he delighted in being himself. Cas was different from everyone else. His father was also unique. His brother was the only half werewolf/ half metamorphmagus ever. And the Weasleys were always known to be an odd bunch. If Scorpius wanted to be a part of the team he had to try and embrace his freakishness and enjoy it just as much as Cas. The funny thing is just how much he enjoyed, not caring so much what other people might make of him.
"There isn't a rebellious history on my mother's side either. I think they were killed on both sides, you know. And they are only waiting for my father to sire another child to kill me, so that I won't shame them in the future." Scorpius said, still lightly. Cas was getting more and more used to his grim thoughts. They came so easily to Scorpius that Cas made special efforts to keep all that darkness afar. He could bet Scorpius had never seen such a beautiful moon as today.
"Don't be silly. Nobody will lay a hand on you on my watch." Cas said in a light tone, but he meant every word. When he almost lost Scorpius was the moment he most noticed he was important. So important. One of his own and sure as hell Castiel Potter would protect his own it was o his blood to do so.
"You won't be around on Christmas." Scorpius pointed out sadly. He couldn't go home but Castiel would, he loved to be with his family, his huge endless family. Sting was a bit jealous of them. They had so much of Cas and Scorpius… Scoprius only had Cas. He had been depressed by the perspective of a lonely Christmas ever since he first thought at it.
"I will if you come with me. To Boston. You said you were planning on staying in school to avoid your father. We could forge a letter or something. You could meet everyone!" Cas glowed with his sudden idea.
"Cas… McGonnagal is not that stupid."
"Well, if we don't try we will never find out."
"I wonder where this kind of malice comes from, you know… Your father is one of the good guys, but you… You can be evil when put yourself to it."
Cas' eyes clouded. And his voice got stuck. He wasn't evil, Dean had told him that. If he made sure to fight it, he would succeed. Uncle Sam fought the Devil in his mind and won. His mother's blood was nothing.
"Remind me to tell you about my mom sometime."
