Over the next week Kain continued to make potions. Snape was will to talk about more then potions sometimes. But mostly potions. The moon was still a week off.

Kain turned to go get the powered bat bone but instead fell. Snape made a sound that sounded much like a stifled laugh. "Glad you find my pain funny." Kain said her voice dripping in sarcasm. "I have a sense of humor Ms. Lupin." He retorted. "For the last time my name is Kain. K-A-I-N." She was beginning to pick up his usual attitude. Going home with a sneer on her face and starting to look paler.

"I'm turning into you." Kain walked to the window and opened it. "Well it seems that we've had a switch in personality." Kain groaned. This was pure torture. "I know very well that it was you who made those boys dance at dinner that night. Just as bad as Black you are."

"But that prank was funny. Best work ever even by marauder standards." Kain said. "I will admit it was quite amusing." he said. "They got what was coming to them. I put up with them and I got my payback. They haven't done anything to us since."

"My only question is where did you come up with such a thing?" He asked. Snape interested in how the female marauder came up with such a thing. Now this was truly something to hear. "I'm the adopted daughter of two marauders. You think I didn't pick up a few things from them?" Kain had a point. He shrugged.

When she got home it was better. This time there was a smile on her face rather then a grim stern look. While Kain lay down to go to sleep she remembered she had forgotten to talk to Snape about making the wolfsbane potion. If she was going to be making potions she a right to know how to make the one she would need for the rest of her life. She'd have to remember to say something about it tomorrow.

Kain landed in the living room of potions master but he was not in the living room waiting for her, as was the normal. Was she early? She looked at the clock hanging on the mantle. Nope on time. "Professor? Professor Snape?" She opened the door to the lab with the utmost caution. She sensed something was amiss. A curse was said and she dropped to the floor just in time. "Very good." Snape came from his hiding place.

"Are you insane what if I hadn't sensed that in time?" The anger in her rose. "Then you would have simply turned into a potted plant. "Your lucky I can't use magic or you would be a potted plant." She threatened. "Is that a threat?" He turned and watched her. "Possible promise." Her eyes were amber ringed with brown. The wolf came out in times of danger. He'd have to test it again.

"Professor are you going to teach me how to make the wolfsbane. It is of course something Remus and I both need wouldn't it make sense for you to tell how to make it?" Kain said putting her hair back into a ponytail while going to get a cauldron. "I will teach you have to make it next month. I already made it before my little accident." He ground out.

Kain's eyes were both amber again. "Kain how long have you been a werewolf?" Snape asked. Kain stopped at together and looked at her professor. "I was bitten when I was three. Been one ever since." Three. That young to have a wild side wanting to get out every month. A werewolf for 11 years. He remembered when she cried at the sight of him.

"If you've been a werewolf that long then that means when I met you the very first time you had been one for two years. Yet you feared me." Kain shook her had. "No I was bitten just a few weeks before I turned four. Maybe two or three. When I saw you I thought you were going to hurt me. Believe me at that age I thought someone would come and take away the happiness I had." Kain explained.

"So as you've gotten older the wolf has become more in tune with you?" he questioned. As long as he'd been brewing wolfsbane for Remus he never questioned the wolf. "It's a bond between my and the wolf. She is the anger because it's her nature. The day of the full moon she tries to break free early but being what we are she can't. So on the day of the moon I have to keep my hands out of sight, look down and not speak."

Snape had never noticed not that he truly cared before. "What do you remember before Black and Lupin took you in?"

My aren't we chatty today." Kain grinned and looked at the man. He simply glared at her. "Okay, okay. That's the fuzzy part of my memory. Dumbledore decided to rummage through my head and get rid of a few things. I'm kind of grateful for it."

"Well what do you remember?" he pressed. "You've asked enough question about me for a day. The past is just that and it should be left there. Why do you care?" Snape was a bit shocked at the teen. "You're my apprentice I'm entitled to know these things about you Ms. Lupin." Now would be a good time for a bludger to come and put me to sleep for a few hours. Why me? Of all people me. Kain thought.

"All I remember is pain, dampness, being lonely. I heard they kept me in a basement. I started having nightmares and would go a day or two without sleep. I would be withdrawn. Dumbledore decided he would help by taking the memories away leaving bits and pieces. In other words my head is a puzzle with missing pieces." Kain told him.

"Dumbledore enjoys meddling in other peoples lives." Snape told her. "Sometimes it's a good thing." Kain smiled. Snape knew what the smile was for. If it hadn't been for Dumbledore she could well still be in a basement chained up or dead. "How old is he?" she looked at the pale man. "I mean he's got to be 160 give or take a few years." what Snape did next scared her like nothing else ever had. Severus Snape broke into a fit of laughter in front of the student.

"I don't know how old he is. Didn't ask and I wasn't told." he continued to laugh. "Okay scariest moment of my life. This is now number one." That shut Snape up. "Get back to work Ms. Lupin."
