When they returned to the school everyone was going on and about the holidays. Kain ventured into the common room where Arrum surprised her with a hug and swung her around. Being set on her feet Kain. She playfully hit him in the chest. "I hate it when Padfoot and Mooney do it and I hate it when you do it." she laughed. "I missed you. The only conversation I had was from my parents and grandparents." He said.
"Lucky. I had to crazy people, Harry and snarky Professor Snape." Kain told said. "Christmas and New Years with that greasy git. That just seems so wrong." He said. "He's part of my wacky family. Ask Alanna, Jenna or Dawn they will tell you. He's part of my insane, rather large, family." they laughed. "You still owe me a snowball fight." Arrum said as Kain was heading back up the stairs. "I already beat you on a broom. Don't you think it's time you gave losing to me a rest?" Arrum stuck his tongue out in a childish way.

The snowball fight was a draw when everyone was dripping wet. The days passed pleasantly and the two groups were now sitting together for breakfast lunch and dinner. Bill and Dawn were a couple and so were Alanna and Raoul. Jenna and Gareth hadn't made it official yet. At Snape's birthday Kain had the usual cake for the man. Valentine's day was slowly on the way.
Kain racked her brain for what to do for the holiday. It would be her first with someone she was interested in and that she liked. Arrum had racked his brain for something to do till he knew what to do at the very last second. Kain had been helping Snape with potions all week so he hadn't seen much of the two. He found her at breakfast that morning looking a bit sluggish. He'd wait till dinner that night.
"You know you should skip a class and take a nap." Raoul said to the werewolf. Her secret was still safe from the boys. As far and Kain knew. "I'll sleep during my forth class. It won't really matter if I fall asleep or not." She yawned again. "Wait that's your study hall." Dawn said. "Sure is." she said. "Your enjoying every second of it." She said. "I have to go first class of the day is McGonagall's." she left.
Later that evening while everyone was headed back to his or her dorms and common rooms after dinner Arrum stopped Kain. "Kain I will understand perfectly if you say no but will you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?" He asked. "Yes!" She threw her arms around his neck. Arrum hugged her back. "She said yes." Arrum cupped her face and kissed her quickly the biggest grin on her face. He swept her off her feet and spun her around in a circle. "Sorry."
"Silly. I'll let it go. This time." She smiled.

Dear Aunt Molly,
Valentine's Day was the best day ever. As we were walking back to our dorms after dinner Arrum stopped me and asked me to be his girlfriend. I never felt my heart beat so fast. We shared our first kiss together. Shh don't tell Padfoot and Moony they'll have a fit. No I don't know when I'll ask him to come have dinner with us. First I have to break the news to two very dramatic males of the canine varity. Wish me luck.
Love
Kain.
Dear Moony and Padfoot
Don't be upset but Arrum asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes. I couldn't be happier at the moment. Orian is jumping for joy so much I've had the urge to climb a tree. Which I did. Looking back those years that I said I wouldn't have anyone to love seems like it never happened when he's around. No I don't know when I'll bring him to meet you. But if I do no scaring him. That means you Padfoot. Write soon.
Xoxo
Kain.

Sirius went in search of Remus after reading the letter again. His cub with a boyfriend this brought out a new bit of protection from him. He heard the door open and Remus enter the home after a long day of teaching students. When he went down stairs to find the man lying on the couch with his eyes closed. "Hello love." He leaned over and gave the man a quick peck to the lips. "Hello to you too." Remus opened his eyes. "I have an Idea." Sirius said.
"Does that idea have anything to do with me against the wall, my legs around your waist, screaming your name with your pants around your ankles?" Sirius looked at the man who now wore a seductive grin. Sirius pounced on the man.
SOME TIME LATER
"Now my real idea was maybe we should at least meet this young man before we try to kill him." Sirius said. "What are you talking about?" Remus looked at his lover. "This." Sirius handed him the letter. Remus quickly read it. "You're sure you want to. It's giving into the fact that she no longer is that little five year old who use to call us Moo-y and Pa-foo." Remus sighed. "I'm sure. We had our little feet time. Now she's a young woman and taking charge of her life. She's sixteen. If I remember we were only in our forth year when we got together." Sirius reminded his lover.
"Your right. We raised her well. Or as well as a werewolf and ex-convict can while living under the same roof as the-boy-who-lived." They laughed. "And you know what makes it better. That we don't feel old, look old and we still shag like when we were seventeen." This sent to two into swirls of laughter. The man had a point. They didn't look a day over 35. Neither were graying and were still in great shape.
"Alright write Kain back tell her she can bring the boy on her own time. When she's ready to unleash us upon him. But that will be after you remind me yet again of how we shagged when we were seventeen." Remus grinned a hint of lust in his eyes.

Dear Kain,
We're happy for you. But he better be treating you right or he'll be answering to Mooney. I doubt he'll want that. Bring him here when you feel it's right we're not going to rush you. Maybe for dinner or something. See you when you come home.
Padfoot
P.s. Tell that boy to put his hands in his pockets and keep them there.
