Harry's birthday came a few days later with much talking into Snape came to and was welcomed. The man that Snape was at school and the man he was around people when not in a school setting were sort of different. Here laughed and spoke without sounding like he wanted to die. That would change when they got back to school Kain was sure of it.

Kain's apprenticeship continued. She let out a frustrated growl at the cauldron and it gave off a puff of black smoke indicating it had gone wrong. "Staying calm is the key to the potion. You stay clam and the potion will come out fine." Snape said. Kain growled again. "Alright we stop here for now. Into the living room." He got up.

"We'll try it again tomorrow. For now something to eat then I'll have you start something different." Snape said. "This a bad idea. I'm not a master if I can't make the one potion that requires calm. The wolf doesn't do calm she is only when this go right." Kain said. "The wolf, the wolf, the wolf. Doesn't it have a name? The others have nicknames, but you don't." Snape said. "There is no name for her. Padfoot, Moony and Prongs have had their nicknames since school. I just never got one. My name is already short I really don't care." Kain said.

~Flashback~

It had been just a few days after Kain told them about her condition. They had asked many questions Kain was able to answer most. "We need to give you a nickname. What are you good at?" Jenna asked. "Well it's obvious I stick at hunting nearly go killed." Kain sulked.

"That's just it you'll get better at hunting. Orion he was a hunter. How bout Orion?" she said rather happy with the idea. "Yeah did we forget the three huge scars running down my side? Leave the name alone. I get one when I get one."

~End flashback~

"Jenna came up with Orion. One that's Sirius middle name. Two he was a hunter which in that department I failed miserably." Kain said. "You'll need a nickname if your joining our little family."

"Now wait a minute Ms. Lupin I didn't join any family." Snape protested. "Why would you want to live alone? Your kinda part of the family whether you like it or not. You have no others so why not just consider you're like a distant cousin for the time being. Come on Sev won't be that bad."

"What did you call me?" Uh oh there was that teacher tone again. "I think I'm ready to try that potion again." she got up and went back into the lab.
