Here you go everyone, it took long because I was trying to write a chapter for my other story but I have a bit of writers block on that one. Hope you all like this one though.

The only characters that are mine are the one's you don't see in the Harry Potter books, the rest are JK Rowlings.

Lucia stared at the letter that she had just received from her son via the owl that they had bought. This was only the second letter that she had gotten from Weylen in the two weeks that he had been gone, but what he said in it shocked her to no ends. He had told one of his teachers about what she was, without even asking her if she wanted him to in the first place.

Even worse, it had been the teacher they had met in Diagon Alley, the one who had caught her buying the book on werewolves, then one that had overheard the conversation she'd had with her son. The one that for some reason she couldn't get out of her mind.

He now knew that she in fact was a werewolf. Which he had suspected to begin with but now he knew that it was true. If her son hadn't confirmed the truth to him, she probably could have gone a long time without seeing him again and having to be questioned.

But even though Lucia was a little disappointed in her son for going behind her back and telling someone about her problem, she was also relieved. Relieved because even though she has told her son and Amelia she was fine, she had always denied to tell them that she really felt alone. If someone in Weylen's new world could help her some way, it would make her that much less lonely. It would make her feel that much less different.

In his letter, Weylen mentioned the potion that she had read about in her book. The book she had yet to finish even though there was only one chapter left in it. For some reason, other than being busy with the reserve, she just hadn't read it yet. Lucia had an idea that it was because the rest of the book had been so morbid or sad that she just didn't want to know what else it had to say. So far she had only read the title of the chapter, and it was about Werewolves mating, which she figured really didn't apply to her since she didn't plan to mate with any other werewolves.

Now that someone at Weylen's school knew about her, maybe she could tell her son about the book she had read and how his potions professor was the one that had developed the potion that could help her.

Lucia sighed, if she really wanted help she would have to write her son back soon. There was only three days before the next full moon on Monday and if she went by the letters her son and she had sent, it takes at least a day by owl for mail to get from home in England to Weylen's school in London.

Getting up from her seat in the living room, she rubbed her tired eyes and went into her study. Sitting at her desk she pulled out stationary and a fountain pen and began her response to her son.

Remus's leg bounced up and down with the impatience running through him. It was the day before the full moon and Mr. Reeds mother had yet to send a letter back to her son. Weylen had told him on Friday during class that he had gotten a letter the night before and had sent one back before breakfast.

"For Merlin's sake man, will you stop your insisted jittering before I stop it for you." Snape said in annoyance beside him.

"Sorry." Remus said, stopping the jumping of his leg with some difficulty. After a moment he noticed that one of his fingers had taken up the rhythm where his leg had stopped, so he grabbed a piece of bacon off the pile he'd put on his plate to give his hand something else to do.

It was already a half-hour into breakfast, yet Mr. Reed still hadn't showed up. Just as Remus was beginning to think that the boy wouldn't arrive, he came in through the Great Hall door and sat at the closest end of the Gryffindor table. He watched as the boy seemed to glare at the food in front of him before grabbing bacon and sausage and putting it one his plate.

Just as Weylen was about to take a bite of his food, owls began coming into the room and one came and sat on his plate, holding out its leg with a letter on it. Weylen heaved a big sigh before taking the letter and feeding the bird a few pieces of his ruined bacon. Once the owl had left he pushed the plate away from him and opened his letter.

When he got to a certain part of his letter he looked up at the staff table in Remus' direction but slightly to his side, where Professor Snape was sitting. Remus glanced over to the dark brooding man and wondered what the letter could say that would involve him.

"Severus?" The annoying werewolf beside him said.

"What is it, Lupin?" Severus Snape asked without looking over at the man.

"What do you think of the Reed boy?"

At this he looked up and towards the Gryffindor table and found that the boy in question was staring at him. He sent his normal glare at the boy but it didn't seem to faze him a bit. Turning towards Remus beside him he lifted an eyebrow in question at him as he responded, "He's a fine student, for a Gryffindor. intriguing family as well. Why do you ask?"

"You've met his family?" Remus asked, shocked.

"Yes, Albus roped me into doing his work for him. I was the one that went to his home and inform him and his family that he had magic." Severus look back at the boy and found him shifting his golden gaze between him and the werewolf beside him. Almost as if he was trying to figure out what they were talking about.

"What did you think of his mother?"

"And why do you think I would tell you what I think?" Severus asked, noticing that Remus' eyes glanced at the boy every once in a while. He wondered what was up with the man, other than his up-coming transformation.

"I just want to know if you noticed anything about her? If something was wrong with her?"

Severus glared sharply at the man who was obviously avoiding telling him something and snarled, "Just spit out whatever drivel that you want to say. It's quite clear that you already know the answer to your question so just tell me already."

Remus had a slightly guilty expression on his face as one of his hands came up to rub at his temple. as though a headache was forming. Which it probably was. "It's not exact my place to say. I was hoping you had figured it out so I could talk to you about it."

It's not your place to say? Funny, that's what Amelia has said. He thought wondering why everyone keep saying that and refusing to tell him anything. "Well, if you couldn't tell him in the first place then you never should have brought it up to begin with." He said as he stood up from his seat and walked around the staff table.

Instead of going through the staff door like he could have, he decided to stride down the aisle between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables. He wanted to test a theory he had. From the looks the Reed boy had been send his way he believe that he must want to speak to him about something.

As Severus walked past the boy, he notice in his peripherals that the boy looked up at him, and as he walked through the Great Hall doors he heard as the boy got up from his seat and walk after him.

He took the corridor that lead to the dungeon staircase and just before he began to descend them, Mr. Reed called out to him, "Professor Snape?!"

Severus stopped and turned around, arching an eyebrow at the boy he enquired, "What is it, Mr. Reed? Coming to tell me why you were staring at me throughout breakfast?"

Without even saying sorry for his blatant rudeness in the Great Hall but answering the question regardless, "My mother mentioned you in her letter."

Not expecting that as an answer, Severus arched his eyebrow at the boy in inquiry. "Is that so? And what exactly did she say?"

"Well," Weylen looked around them before asking. "Can we talk somewhere more private?"

With a quick glare at the boy who finally made him squirm a little unlike in the Great Hall, Severus told him, "Come along then." Turning back towards stairs he walked down them and went to his office. He directed Weylen to sit in the seat in front of his desk while he sat behind it. "Now, care to tell me what it is your mother said about me that made you deem it necessary to stare so blatantly this morning."

"She said that you would be able to help her." Reaching into the pocket of his robe be pulled out the folded letter, unfolded it and took the second page of the letter and handed it across the desk to Severus he said, "Here, she wrote this part for you to read."

Taking the letter from the boy he quickly read it:

Professor Snape,
I'm sorry for my rudeness the last time we met, you caught me on a bad day. When you were in my home you asked if there was anything that you could help me with. At the time I merely assume there was nothing anyone could do to help me but after the information I've found in a book I purchased in Diagon Alley, I know that you can. This book told me that you have invented a potion that helps with symptoms of being a werewolf. I am asking for your help, something that I never do, but I do this for my son. Anything that can make him safer around me would make me happy. So please, if there is anyway that you would help me, I will take anything you will give.
Sincerely,
Lucia Reed

Though stunned by what the letter said, Severus was able to keep a neutral expression on his fac as he looked up from it and into the amber eyes of the young Weylen boy. "So your mother is a werewolf? I see why Lupin was asking if I knew what was wrong with her. It figures he would find it out."

"Why do you say that?" Weylen asked, confused.

"Like tends to know like."

"You mean, Professor Lupin is a werewolf? But he never told me when we talked about my mother."

"Yes, well our esteemed Defense professor doesn't really want his affliction being known to the student body. Though for someone that's been living with a werewolf his whole life one would assume that you'd figure it out eventually."

At this, Weylen seemed to take a moment to think back over the several encounters that he'd had with Remus. After a moment he looked up at the dark potions professor and said, "The first time I met him was a few days after the full moon, I only met him for a moment but he looked to be just as tired as my mom was. And there's the fact that he knew so much about werewolves, it did make me wonder why he knew so much."

"One would wonder." Severus said. He watched the boy for a minute before saying, "Rest assured, Mr. Reed, I'll make sure your mother gets some Wolfsbanes before the full moon tomorrow night. Now, if that will be all, I must go a make your mother's and Lupin's potion."

"Oh, okay sir. thank you so much for helping my mom, you don't know how much it means that she actually asked for help." Weylen said excitedly as he got up from his seat and went to the door.

Once he finally left, Severus sat back in his chair and contemplated what he had learned. When Lupin had asked him if he knew what was wrong with Mr. Reeds mother, it had piqued his interest that he wasn't the only one that had noticed something wrong.

But he had expect some sort of normal Muggle ailment, something that in the Magical world was easy to cure. He never had expected that she was afflicted with lycanthropy. It was very rare to find a Muggle werewolf, they normally never survived long and when they, they were found out sooner or later. Severus wondered how she long she had been a werewolf and how she could have keep it secret for however long she'd been one.

He sighed as he opened up a drawer in his desk and searched through it until he found the little card he'd put there several weeks ago. Maybe after he gave Lucia Reed the potion and told her about it he would stop and have a cup of tea.

Severus got up from his seat, put the card in the robe pocket and went through the door to his private labs. Though he had told Mr. Reed he had to make his mother's potion, he already had enough for both Lupin and Miss Reed. He really just wanted to brew something difficult that will take his mind off of werewolves for the moment.
