The day of the full moon had come. Dawn and the others would be at the house an hour or two before sun down. Kain had forgotten the wolfsbane potion before leaving the night before. She stepped into the fireplace. The moment she stepped out into the living room she had to dodge a curse or spell of some sort. Snape had begun to surprise her with these things. Today was not a good day. She drew her wand and was very close to hexing him.

So the wolf reacts in anger on the moon and near it. Out of the 3 times he had tried this was the first time Kain drew her wand. "Pull that one more time you greasy git and I'll hex you into your next life time." She pointed it at him. "I'll put the greasy git comment with the full moon. What do you want?" He hopped to his couch watching the student before him. "

Kain had told the truth. He could see the nails on her fingers pointing triangular her eyes were brown. Now all that was left was her teeth. Kain came back from the lab with two large vile of brewed wolfsbane. She stopped at the fireplace. "You can stop starring now. Yes I'm sporting claws, brown eyes and canines she flashed him a toothy grin. "Good bye professor." She was gone a second later. Suddenly what James potter did to him didn't seem to bad.

Kain had been sleeping when she heard Harry call her from down stairs. It was four hours before moonrise. "Be down in a minute." she called walked across the hall to get Remus. He wasn't in the bed. She bummed into Sirius turning around. "He's taking his bath and he's already taken his potion. Go take yours it's in the kitchen." Kain walked down stairs and went into the kitchen before greeting her friends.

She downed the potion not bothering to pour it from the vile to the cup. She stepped into the living room looking the three in the face. "Wow." dawn was the first to speak. "We thought there would be more. Like fur and ears and a tail." Jenna said. "Yeah well there isn't. Just wait until I turn full out wolf. Did you guys bring everything you need for the night?" Kain asked. They nodded. Remus came down stairs wearing jeans and a tee shirt. "Hello girls. Are you sure you want to be here tonight. Not to late to turn away." he asked.

"Yes." they coursed. "Alright. Kain was respecting my privacy by not telling you this but I'm a werewolf also." their mouths hung open. All the times they had meet Remus they hadn't guessed about him being a werewolf. All the scars he had been lumped with that he fought in the second war against Voldemort.

Hours later they were outside waiting. Remus was on the side of the house with Harry and Sirius. "This is it." Kain got up and went to the other side of the house to strip her clothes. A moment later two wolves came trotting from each side of the house. Harry and Sirius still human. "Well girls this is Moony and this is Kain." Sirius said. "How come Kain doesn't have a nickname you three do." Alanna asked. "Well Remus and I have had these nicknames since we were in school. And Prongslet comes from Prongs who was Harry's father.

Harry was in his dog form and so was Sirius. They followed the pack of four into the woods. They sorely wished they could join them in the mock games of tag and chasing. The Sky was beginning to show sings of dawn. Padfoot turned back into Sirius. "We have to head back now and get the living room set up so we can get some sleep. Kain and Remus will sleep till about late afternoon at most. Come one." He said. The girls followed him with Harry bringing up the rear with Moony and Kain on the side.

When it was about time for Remus and Kain to turn back they left the room. Remus in the kitchen and Kain in the broom closet. They slowly walked back into the living room and lay down. "That is the way were spent to full moon every month till I started Hogwarts, good morning." Kain drifted off to sleep. Remus was sleep. The others lie down and fall asleep.

Kain went to Snape's the day after that to mix potions again. But for the day she was a bit sluggish on her feet. It would help her sleep that night she was back on schedule. Now there was just the picnic which was now only a few days off. The professor and his student could be found in the usual place. That place being the lab. Snape sitting in a stool because of his broken leg and Kain standing while making potions.

"Professor?" Kain asked without looking away from her work. "Yes Kain?"

"There's going to be a picnic in a few days. You should come get out of the lab and the house. No offense Professor but you look paler then your normal it's not healthy." Kain said. "I'll be staying right here." He said. "Well if you do that then you will be forced to go and I don't think you want to be forced." Kain said coolly. Snape scoffed.

"Then Molly will have fun bringing you. She asked me to ask you to come I don't think you want to decline." One thing Snape had to fear was Molly Weasley mother of seven. He decided that it would be in his best interest not to piss her off again. Not after she had threaded him and Sirius years ago. "Alright then Aunt Molly will be very happy."

Kain looked pleased. The aunt Molly threat worked. Molly had known her niece would invite the man but she didn't think it would be a yes.

"The twins won't try to pull pranks on you. If they do they know what they have in store for them. We're trying to make it a peaceful day."

Snape was wondering if he would regret doing such a thing. In the weeks past he had found out more about the people stayed away from. Kain had asked Snape many times where his family was. But he never gave an answer.

Kain went home rather happy that night. It was time the professor stopped living like a damn hermit. Now they just had to wait. But till that day they were still mixing potions. Kain didn't need Snape's help most of the time now. She knew what she was doing. Some days he would tell her to make potions from first year or would throw her a potion from seventh year.

A little more training and she could be a master by the time she graduated. Snape wouldn't need to take on an apprentice for the seventh years when she got to that age.
