Chapter Nineteen: Lucian's Transformation

Lucian followed Remus back into the living room still slightly embarrassed by the conversation in the kitchen. It wasn't everyday that you had those kinds of talks with people.

Draco would just take it all in stride and laugh it off. Nothing seemed to bother him, but Lucian knew that wasn't always the case. He just hoped that he would be able to be there for Draco when the death of his mother finally sunk in. A lot had happened today and he imagined that both he and Lucius had just pushed it to the back of their minds for the time being, or at least until they where alone to grieve.

Lucian looked up when he seen that his father was motioning toward him. Walking quickly over to him he looked at him questioningly.

"Is there something wrong?" Lucian asked when he seen the worried look on his father's face.

Severus stood there silently unsure of what the reaction would be to his decision. " I am going to go back to Remus's rooms with him and you and Draco are going to stay here in your room for the transformation."

When he seen the hurt look in Lucian's eyes he continued, "The reason is that I think that it would be safer for the both of you. We don't know how your forced transformation last night is going to affect you tonight and it would be the first time that you will be around Remus in his werewolf state. With your territorial behavior over Draco I don't want to take a chance of you and Remus fighting for dominance."

Lucian pondered what his father was saying and knew that he was right but he still wished that they both could stay with him and Draco.

"What is Lucius going to do?" he asked glancing toward Draco and his father talking on the couch in quiet tones.

"The Headmaster is going to help him get settled into his new quarters. Which means that Draco will be staying with his father and you will be staying with me once the term has started." Severus said softly to his son. Looking up at the mantel clock he knew that it was time to head up to Remus's rooms.

"Time to get going, I'll see you at sunrise." He said taking the young man into a slight hug.

Lucian nodded toward Draco catching his attention. He gestured toward the clock, knowing that he had gotten the hint he turned back to his father just as Remus walked back over to them.

"Alright, I guess I'll see you both in the morning. And don't do anything I wouldn't do." He said grinning evilly as he ran out of the room and toward his own before his father or Remus caught what he had said.

Draco gave his father a quick hug and bade him goodnight and followed Lucian into his room. He heard his father put up a warding charm and a locking spell that would keep Lucian in the room until morning.

Draco watched as Lucian began pacing the room. He watched as the pacing began to slow and it seemed that each step taken was beginning to get painful. Suddenly emerald eyes locked with his silver ones.

"Change, now!" was the only thing that Lucian was able to say before he fell to the floor and began the painful monthly transformation.

Draco didn't hesitate once before he shifted into his smaller animagus form, a pure white ferret. Mere seconds after he had shifted a pain filled howl erupted from the large wolf.

Slinking over to the large wolf slowly Draco kept constant eye contact. He wasn't sure if the wolfsbane had worked and in the back of his mind he was already plotting an escape route incase things got dangerous.

The hazy was slowly lifting from Lucian's mind and he glanced up to where Draco had been standing minutes ago. He was relieved to see that Draco had opted to change into the smaller form. He wagged his tail to let Draco know that he was ok. He watched in amusement as the small white body relaxed and scampered over to him.

Using his rather large paw he swiped playfully at Draco and watched as the ferret went rolling across the floor. This was what they did every time that Draco was with him for the transformation.

The two of them chased each other around the room several times before Lucian began to get tired. His body still hadn't had enough time to heal from the night before transformation along with the charms being forced from his body.

He padded silently over to the blankets that were piled on the floor for them to sleep on and curled up in a comforting ball. He smiled inwardly when Draco still in his ferret form curled up in between his shoulder and head. Not long after that he felt himself beginning to drift off to sleep.

A/N: This was a relatively short chapter but it is the first part of the transformation chapters. Next chapter with be Remus's transformation and how he reacts to Severus in his panther form. Well ta-ta for now. Keep up the reviews.
