After the night in the dog house, literally, Sirius gave Emerald a chance. "You didn't even move when you got me stuck in my animagus form." He had confronted her the next morning. Harry looked over at his grandmother in confusion. Sirius had decided breakfast was a good time for this conversation. Emerald smirked "I am an immortal." She turned to Harry "as my heir you will need to be careful about what you say. Even though you are not an immortal you carry the same blood and magic I do. For instance, last night I told Sirius and Remus if they did not stop yelling they would spend the night in the dog house. If you say something will happen it does. One of the hardest parts to remember as an immortal. Never say a careless word if you can help it. Well if you can control time then it is fine, but not wise to practice." Sirius had his jaw drop and Harry nodded seriously. He would definitely have to be careful. They had two more weeks until the full moon and spent them adjusting to the new addition of Sirius to their family unit. Harry began to become very comfortable around his grandmother and friends with Remus. The relationship with Sirius was tentatively becoming a friendship. However, Harry and Emerald became very frustrated the night of the full moon with Remus.

Remus stated for the tenth time that day "I would have felt more comfortable taking wolfsbane. I feel like I am a danger to everyone when the transformation takes place." Harry rolled his eyes "Grandmother made you into a true wolf there is nothing to worry about. Well unless you chase a black panther because grandmother said that would not end well." Emerald laughed loudly at Harry's statement thinking it did not nearly cover just how bad of an idea it was to mess with Chaos. Sirius just scoffed "a cat would not stand a chance against a dog. I bet I could chase down this fabled black panther and win." Ivy who heard the statement as she cleaned up the dishes spoke "I would nots be doing that Mr. Mutt. Lady Chaos is not one to mess with yous never knows what will happen." Emerald put the statement Black made out of her mind. Remus, however, had picked up on her calling Sirius mutt often. 'She reminds me so much of Snape at times. I wonder why?' They did all sorts of activities hoping to get Remus to calm down until the sun set. Sirius and Remus went out onto the grounds to transform together like old times. Emerald walked them out and gave them one last warning "do not chase a black panther if one appears on the grounds."

Remus began the transformation the moment the moonlight hit his form. Unlike every other transformation in his life, tonight there was no pain as he became the wolf. He heard the wolf in his mind begging to run through the wooded area of the manor grounds. Remus decided to give his wolf the run he desired and loped off towards the wooded section. As he ran a flash of white light appeared and a large black cat stepped through. Remus stopped in his tracks to not even appear to be chasing her. Unlike Remus, Sirius did not notice the black cat until he saw Mooney stop dead in his tracks and sit down. Sirius stood still trying to decide whether to chase the cat or not. The black panther saw the grim and came directly over to him. After rubbing the grim's side and purring it took off. Sirius stood still for a few seconds more. Remus, while watching this exchange, was chanting "Sirius leave the cat alone. Don't chase her, don't chase her..." His inner wolf was chanting something similar "don't chase Chaos Sirius, don't..." Unfortunately, Sirius decided to chase the provoking cat and the mantra of both Remus and his inner wolf ended with 'Fuck!" Remus decided to not follow his friend and head towards the trees his inner wolf told him would be a safe place to hide.

Meanwhile...

Sirius bounded after the cat and attempted to jump on top of the animal. She dropped rolling onto her back to catch him. Using his own momentum to flip them both head over leaving her on top. Sirius wiggled to out from under the taunting feline as she sniffed at his neck and began to purr. Half of his screamed cat and the other half was becoming turned on. That half quickly became three fourths as the panther quickly began to change into a very naked woman. In his shock Sirius began to morph back into human form and found he had a little problem. The panther now woman's eyes went wide as she sniffed the air. Violet eyes trailed down much to Sirius' embarrassment. His cheeks flushed bright red as the sound of tearing met his ears in the cool air of the night as his shirt fell away sliced apart. He opened his mouth to say something only to have a claw tipped finger placed against his lips as a smile slipped across her own. The movement drew his eyes towards her breasts and his last unclouded thought was 'fuck'. To which a purring voice answered "fuck indeed".

The next morning...

Emerald dragged herself towards her front door. The sounds of caterwauling had kept her up most of the night and she had been forced to calm Harry down. He had thought the sounds were dangerous and his grandmother reassured him that nothing could harm him on her property. As she opened the door Remus was just about to head in and he blushed at meeting Emerald. At her raised eyebrow Remus felt the need to explain "I did not chase after the panther... but Sirius did." The calm collected Emerald face palmed and knew exactly what all the noise was about. "It is okay Remus I half expected this outcome with Sirius making the statement of a dog beating a cat any day." Emerald sighed and suddenly the noise stopped. "We had better inform the elves Remus to make a big breakfast. Sirius is going to need to replenish his strength. Well speak of the devil.." Chaos and Sirius made their way up to the front doors and a slight motion from Emerald had them clothed. Before Sirius had his new clothes put on him claw marks were seen all over his body. His back had some particularly prominent marks. Remus blushed an even brighter red. Emerald merely sighed, yet again, and shook her head. "I really need to find another mate" she began. "If I have to listen to that again I just might go dark again on everyone. I mean really you had Harry scared." Chaos perked up "who is Harry?" Emerald lifted an eyebrow elegantly "my heir the son of Lily and James Potter. You know that Harry." Chaos immediately latched onto the James Potter bit "you don't mean Potter as in descended from the Prevelles do you?" Emerald nodded her head "the one and the same."

Before Chaos and Emerald could finish their discussion Harry showed up. "Grandmother who is this?" Emerald gave Chaos a look that meant behave and turned to Harry "this is your Aunt Chaos and Chaos this is Harry." Harry beamed at Chaos since his grandmother had told him many stories about the woman. "So Aunt Chaos do you know what all the noise was about last night?" Chaos pointed to Sirius and explained "the grim chased me and well..." She trailed off leaving the subject implied but out of Harry's grasp for now. "I will fill you in when you are older. It is an adult game we played together." Chaos did not go any further on the subject of last night. They all headed into the family dining room and as they entered Emerald remembered something "Dumbledore's next move is the Weasley family." Chaos looked at her blankly "Dumble who?" Emerald became grim " Dumbledore manipulator trying to control my heir and placing him with abusive disowned blood is who." Chaos began putting ideas out there for dealing with the old coot. Some of her suggestions left Harry confused and Remus blushing. However, with Chaos in the mix Emerald was pretty sure she held the winning hand. "You are not going to ruin my heir's life. I will make sure of it."
