Chapter 9: Oh My, What Big Teeth You Have

Draco had pulled the extra mattress into Harry's room so that he could be near him when he started having nightmares. Or that was what they had told Severus. After they had awoken Draco from his impromptu nap they explained what all had happened to Harry since they brought him back from his relatives and what was going to happen in the near future.

Draco was really happy that he would be able to be with Harry out in the public with out people saying too much. He couldn't wait to see what he looked like after the charms were totally gone. He still couldn't believe that Severus was Harry's father; he wondered how he was going to be able to handle his son being sorted into Gryffindor.

Harry had told him that he was going to be sorted in front of the school after the first years were done.

He hoped that he would be put in Slytherin, but the Hat had put him in Gryffindor once already and it never changes its mind so he knew that it was hopeless. He could tell that Harry was really nervous about tomorrow night's transformation; he had it stuck in his head that the Wolfsbane potion wasn't going to work. He was just glad that either way he would be able to be there for him. Draco was still kind of mad how Severus had tricked Harry into telling him about their relationship.

But Harry knew how close he was to Severus and how hard it was to keep that from him so he really wasn't mad, he was glad that he knew now.

Draco looked at the clock and seen that it was close to three in the morning. He knew that Harry usually started having nightmares around three thirty so he had a half and hour before Harry started screaming. They were always worse the night before the full moon. He heard Harry start to move around and he glanced back at the clock it was only ten after, he looked back at Harry and he knew that there was something wrong. He got up and ran out of the room he headed for Severus's room and started pounding on the door. With in seconds he was at the door.

"What's wrong?" he asked pulling his shirt on over his head.

Draco looked back at his godfather "There's something wrong with Harry. He's starting to toss and turn like he does when he has a vision but it's different, I don't know how to explain it. I just know that there is something seriously wrong." Draco said hurriedly as they ran back into Harry's room. What they saw when they got in there was horrifying. Harry's face was frozen in a mask of pain and his whole body was convulsing and surrounded in a light blue glow.

"His body is forcing off the charms, and it is causing him to transform. If you can change I would do it now before he has a chance to attack you. Remember he hasn't had any potion so he is not going to be able to stop himself." Draco said and then quickly transformed into his Abraxan form, which was the larger and stronger form.

Severus was in shock, he couldn't move or do anything but stare at the amount of pain his son was going through his body was trying to prevent the transformation and was making it longer and more painful than a normal shift. Harry started screaming again and Severus cringed, Harry's eyes locked on his and then the last scream erupted from his throat before he shifted completely.

"DAD!" he screamed, this snapped Severus out of his trance and he immediately transformed into a black panther. About three seconds later a huge black wolf with piercing green eyes lunged at the panther. The pure white Abraxan threw its body weight into the wolf and pinned him down. The panther then came and did the same.
After two hours of thrashing around trying to get up the wolf finally collapsed. When he was unconscious Harry began to shift back into his human form. Realizing what was happening Draco and Severus released him and transformed back to normal.

"Can you please tell me what exactly happened?" Draco asked shakily, he like Harry and Severus was drenched in sweat. His muscles ached; he felt like had been running at a full speed for the past two hours. He glanced over at Severus and seen that he was in about the same state. He then kneeled down next to Harry's unconscious body; he wiped the sweat off of his head and pushed the hair out of his eyes. Do you want me to put him back to bed?" He asked his Godfather.

"Yeah and then I want you to meet me out in the living room, I am going to go and get Remus maybe he will have some idea of what happened." He said more to himself than to Draco as he walked out of the room.

Draco heard the main dungeon door open and then shut. He bent down and scooped Harry's light body up into his arms and carried him over to the large bed. After tucking him in he went to wait for Severus's return with Professor Lupin.

Meanwhile

Severus ran as fast as he could toward Remus's room. He started banging on the door yelling for Remus to open the door. A few seconds later a very alarmed Remus swung the door open.

"My God Severus it is five in the morning." And then seeing the exhausted and worried look on his face immediately thought of Harry. "What's wrong, has something happened?"

Severus nodded, "You need to come down to my rooms. I don't want anyone to over hear what I need to tell you."

Remus said nothing and followed Severus down to the dungeon.

When they walked into the living room Draco was curled up in a ball asleep. Remus saw him and opened his mouth to say something but Severus held his hand up and motioned for him not to say anything. Severus bent down and shook Draco's shoulder. Draco jumped up and looked around the room frantically, but when he saw his godfather he relaxed instantly.

"Did you find Professor Lupin?" he asked anxiously.

Severus motioned for Remus to have a seat as he sat down next to Draco. Remus saw that Draco looked nothing like he was used to seeing him, his hair was not slicked down to his head and it was a mess. And then he noticed something that he never thought he would see on the young Malfoy's face, fear and worry.

"Where is Harry and I assume that whatever happened it deals with him?" he asked quietly.

Draco pulled his knees up to his chest and started rocking slightly. "He transformed."

Severus saw that Remus was very confused so he started to tell him exactly what had happened. When he finished telling him Remus looked very worried and slightly perplexed.

"The only thing that I can think of is that his body was trying to heal itself as fast as it could and the only way that it could do that would be to expel the charms, and with his heighten emotions the only way that his body could handle it was to change forms, even though it is extremely painful. But there was a good side of this happening tonight and not tomorrow night. If his body had held out until tomorrow the Wolfsbane would not have helped. But you really need to give him some now so that if he does shift again it won't be as bad, and then have him take it tomorrow as well." He said and judging by the way Severus and Draco looked they were very relieved. " Now since you woke me up and drug me down here at five in the morning can someone please tell me why Draco is here, I know that he and Harry do not get along."

Draco turned red and Severus started laughing. " I have been seeing Harry since the beginning of our third year." Draco said turning even redder.

Remus chuckled, "That would explain a lot of things." He said mysteriously.

Draco looked at him confused "What things?"

"Oh just the times last year that I caught Harry coming back inside the castle way passed curfew looking very happy, but your scent was all over him. I could never quite figure that out but now it makes perfect sense." Remus said watching Draco burying his head in a pillow to avoid the look that Severus was giving him. Oh this was definitely going to be an interesting year. He was happy that he would be here this year to teach DADA. Albus had asked him last year but he couldn't do it but he was able to accept the position for this year.

Draco stood up and stretched " I am going to go to bed now, good night." He said as he was walking toward Harry's room.

" Oh and Draco, make sure that it is your bed." Severus said teasingly. Draco just shook his head and closed the door.

Remus looked at Severus, "It looks like you are going to have to keep an eye on those two. When I said that I could smell him all over Harry that wasn't the only thing that I could smell."

Severus laughed, " Remus you probably haven't got laid for so long that you've forgot what sex smells like." He said enjoying the blush that crept up his face.

"Oh, Ha Ha, look who's talking 'I am now a devout celibate'. You know its pretty bad when your son has more of a sex life than what you do." Remus said laughing. " There is one thing that I have never understood, how did you and Lily get together? I mean I thought that you were attracted to strictly the male variety."

"That was something that I never really understood either. She was the only woman that I ever looked at, and even today I could never be with another woman. I guess she was just special. And what the hell are you talking about strictly the male variety, at least I wasn't mooning over an escaped convict who unintentionally broke your heart when he told you of his engagement to Bill Weasley." He said knowing that he hit a nerve. When he saw Remus bow his head he knew he had gone too far "I'm sorry that was low."

Remus looked surprised that he was apologizing "That's alright. It's the truth. Well I am going to go and get some breakfast would you care to join me?" he asked.

"Yeah, just let me check on Harry. All of the charms are off now. I didn't really get to see him, I was too worried about what had happened. I'll go ahead and give him some of the potion too." He stood up and walked to his workroom and grabbed a vial of the Wolfsbane potion. When he opened the door to his son's room he just shook his head there was Draco wrapped up in Harry's arms. Remus had walked up behind him and started laughing. "Well it looks like he really listened to you. My God Severus Harry looks a lot like you did when we went to school, although I can definitely see a lot more of Lily in him now. You and Draco are going to have to be hitting the guys and girls away with a stick." He said laughing at the image.

Severus just shook his head and walked over to Harry gently shaking his shoulder. Remus was right Harry was definitely his and Lily's child, there was no denying that. He felt a sense of awe rush over him when it suddenly hit him that he had a son.

Harry definitely did not look the same. The only thing that he could see that was the same was his scar. His hair, which had been a short cut mop of unruly dark brown waves, was now shoulder length poker straight hair that was black as midnight with the slightest hints of red. His face, which had, had a boyish roundness to it, was now long and thin, much like his. Only Harry's skin had a healthy glow to it not the pale sallow look that was the result from standing too near brewing potions.

His height was a huge difference. Where before he had been about five foot five inches, he was now a respectable six foot. His arms and legs were long and graceful.

He and Lily had a beautiful child.

And Remus was right about having to beat off the girls and guys.

Draco was definitely going to make sure that they knew that him and Harry were together. He stood there for the longest time and it finally started to sink in that he had a son, which that was something that he never thought that he would have in this lifetime. He couldn't wait to see the rest of the staff's reaction to him having a son.

There was only one thing that was worrying him and that was Harry getting resorted. He was afraid that if he were sorted back into Gryffindor he would be harassed because of having an Ex-Deatheater as a father and they in turn would no doubt see him as a spy for Slytherin and future Deatheater. He just hoped that for everyone's sake Harry would be put in either Ravenclaw or Slytherin. But what puzzled him the most was the way that Harry acted when he brought up being resorted. It was like he knew something that no one else did about what house he was going to get in.

Harry opened his eyes and saw his father hovering over him and realized that Draco was on bed with him. "This doesn't look good does it." He said turning a deep red. "I'm sorry that I tried to attack you earlier. I had no control, I couldn't help it." Harry said mournfully.

"Harry its all right. There was nothing that you could have done to prevent it and it's not your fault. I want you to drink some of the potion now and then later this evening you will have to take more. I also have some of the numbing potion for your throat. I can give you a little flask to keep it in so you can carry it around all day with out people asking too many questions. Ok. Now try to get some sleep."

He said and turned to walk out of the room. Severus stopped at the door and turned back around.

" Oh and Harry, try not to make this a habit." He said pointing at Draco's sleeping form next to him. He then closed the door. Harry drank the bitter potion and then snuggled back down against Draco's warm back and fell asleep.

Draco had opened his eyes after he heard the door click shut. He had heard what his godfather had said about him being in Harry's bed. He knew that a long talk was coming for both him and Harry. He just hoped that Severus waited until after Harry's transformation to try and talk to him seriously. He didn't want Harry to have a repeat of tonight. Draco knew that it wouldn't be long before his father was checking in. He hoped that he didn't suspect anything; that would not be a good thing.

Remus had waited until Severus had come back out of Harry's room before he headed toward the main door. He hoped that there weren't any other staff members in the kitchens at this hour. He needed to eat something so that he could keep up his strength for tonight. He still couldn't get over the fact that Harry was a werewolf and had been one since his fourth year. Remus couldn't believe that Harry was able to brew a successful Wolfsbane potion in his fourth year with out any help. He was definitely Severus's son.

" Do you want to just get something to take back to your quarters?" Remus asked as Severus walked up beside him.

Severus looked over at Remus, " Yes, I think that would be a good idea. Also if you wouldn't mind I would really like for you to explain to me what my son goes through every month. I admit that I am very lacking of that sort of knowledge." Severus said smiling when he saw the look on Remus's face when he admitted that he didn't know something.

"So have you decided on what Harry's new name will be?" Remus asked as the walked back toward the dungeons. They had to literally pry a very hyper Dobby off of Severus when he told the little house elf that Harry was not feeling too good and was still asleep.

"Yeah we talked about it earlier, we decided on Lucian Salazar Snape. He really liked it, I think though it was mainly because it was the name that Lily had picked out when we were together." Severus paused and debated on asking Remus a question.

"Did Lily ever tell you or anyone else that we had been together and that Harry was my son?"

Remus stopped walking and turned toward Severus pain evident in his eyes. "She never told anyone about the two of you. She even went as far as to tell James that Harry was his and that he was just premature when he was born a month and a half early. I know that she never told Sirius anything or Peter for that matter." Remus took a deep breath. "The only reason that she told me that Harry was yours was because I had threatened to tell James, at the time I didn't know that you and her had been a couple previous to her marrying James."

Severus nodded in understanding, it hurt that Lily would have had to go so far as she did to keep herself and Harry away from him, but if he would have just went after her and told her what was going on so many things would have and could have been different. Making up his mind, he knew that he needed to talk to Albus soon.

"I think that I will go and talk to Albus today since the charms have worn off completely. I have a feeling that by this afternoon Harry Potter will cease to exist and the Wizarding world will not be too happy that their savior has died." Severus said in a hushed voice.

"The Daily Prophet will probably have a field day with this."

Remus looked over at Severus and saw that he was walking rather stiffly. " Why are you so stiff?" he asked.

"Try pinning down a rather pissed off werewolf for two and a half hours. It was hell. I'm sure that Draco will probably be in the same shape as I am when he wakes up." He said half laughing. They had arrived back at the door to his quarters. As the walked in to the living room they could hear a very loud argument.

Remus looked over at Severus and shook his head he had no idea what was going on either.

When they walked to Harry's doorway what they saw made them almost fall down with laughter. Draco was standing soaking wet with only a pair of green boxers shorts on.

" You know that there are other ways to wake a person up than dumping freezing cold water on them." Draco yelled at Harry.

Harry was doubled over laughing. "But the other ways are not as fun as seeing you dripping wet, and besides you are so cute when you are mad."

Severus glanced back at Remus and then back at his son and godson " I don't think that I want to know." And then he turned around and walked back out the door.
