September first came faster then anyone was ready for. Snape had been back on both legs for two weeks by this point. Potions would resume during holidays and summer. But during this school year she was to strictly stay on the sixth year potions. At the welcoming feast Alanna kept looking at four Gryffindor boys. They were well known for getting detention a lot. Mostly from Snape.

"Al what are you looking at them for? Their a bunch of idiots." Kain said. "I've had a crush on him ever since last June when we had to pair up for DADA." she said. "Oh god not the lovey dovey. I was dreading this day. The day you all get crushes and leave me to pursue them." Kain shook her head. "You'll find someone. Maybe you should give Arrum a chance." Dawn said.

"You're bonkers. No man would fall in love with me. Besides he's pure breed he only wants to date me because he thinks he can tame Kain the wolf." Kain said. "Wow your dense." Jenna said. "I'm not dense. Once he finds out that I'm the wolf he'll go running thinking I'll rip his heart out." Kain said.

"You just need to give him a chance." Alanna said. "Nope. Orion doesn't want that. We don't want that. Don't even think about match making."

"Okay you win."

At the teachers table McGonagall was watching all the students when she saw that four were talking rather then eating. Kain was part of that four. "Professor Snape how well did the potions training go?" she asked. "Very well. But I'm sure you didn't need to ask me. Ms. Lupin must have sent letters over the holidays." same old Snape.

McGonagall had indeed gotten a few letters from her adopted niece. The woman liked to make sure she was all right ever since she had met her in the basement. Kain had flourished in the care of black and Lupin. She was indeed happy now. Minerva saw said girl and her friends heading to their dorm. Maybe she would join them for the Christmas dinner at the Weasleys if only to see a laughing Snake/Snape.

Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Where young witches and wizards learn to utilize their magic. WRONG! It was October and everything was weird around the castle. Students were having pranks pulled on them and the ghost had a way of popping up at the worst times. Even moaning Martle was getting on everyone's nerves more them normal. Nearly headless Nick came up from the table, which was covered in food. "Hello Ms. Lupin How are you?" He continued to rise from the table.

"I'm Fine and you?"

"Just fine. Are you ready for the Quidditch game this up coming Friday? I hear that Slytherin house has more sixth and seventh year players this year." He said. Nearly headless Nick always kept up with the Quidditch scores. "I'm not going down easy we'll beat them some how." She said. "Well good luck to you." he went off.

"Really think we're going to win the game?" Alanna asked. "No we don't stand a chance. We'll lose they'll win and Professor Snape will walk around with a smug look on his face while thinking 'they lost and Slytherin is once again the victor.'

The others around her laughed. "Have some faith. They're all over the place with their game. Not to mention its going to rain they don't have a chance." The captain of the team Harold said. "We'll see." Kain said.

~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~

It was late October the first Quidditch game was in a week. The Quidditch team sat near each other. This close to a game that's what happened. Sir Nicolas came through the table coming up through two of the player's plates. "Hello Sir Nick." Kain said watching him continue up. "Why hello there. Getting ready for the game next week?" He asked the group of students. "Yes." Harold the team captain asked.

"Well the best of luck to you. I hear the Slytherin house has sixth and seventh years on their team." Nick said. "Don't worry sir Nick we can take them." Kain said. "That's what I like to hear. Good luck to you all then." He flew off.

"We don't stand a chance. We'll lose they'll win and Snape will walk around with that smug look on his face thinking 'Slytherin house is once again victorious.'" Kain said. The others laughed. "I think we can beat them. They aren't organized like we are. Not to mention it's going to rain for this game. So have some faith Black." Harold always called her Black rather then Lupin.

"He's right you know. Have faith." Alanna said.

Friday came and so did the rain. The day had started cloudy as had the game but half way through everyone had to put on their goggles to see. They all did this without missing a beat. Slytherin was winning by 70 points. It was impossible for any one to see in this weather. The bludgers had already taken out a beater from each team.

Each had been replaced. Danny came up beside her he was on the Gryffindor team as well she always forgot what he played. "You just had to jinx us didn't you?" He yelled over a roar of thunder. "Shut up and fly." she picked up speed to catch a bludger before it could hit anyone. "Slytherin scores again ten points."

"You whelps are going to lose just throw in the towel while you have the chance." He whacked the ball to the girl. Why did there have to be two of those things? He tried to stay close looking for the right chance to knock her off her broom with the bludger. To keep from hitting him she slid further and further into the towers. He was planning something. Kevin Had found the snitch but was now on the chase from hell for the bloody thing. Gryffindor had gotten thirty points back.

Kevin wasn't high nor was he low. Both teams were scoring and the Slytherin house was nothing brawn and they were using it well. He was out of sight chasing the snitch in the damn fog. "He better get that bloody thing before they do." a chaser named Hannah said going after the quaffle.

Kevin was so close to having the snitch. True no one could now see him seeing as he was currently flying over the lake trying to catch the bloody thing. He sped up and began to stand on his broom just a bit like Kain had should him. Almost. Gryffindor scores both teams are even. The snitch changed it's path going back to the field where the game was still taking place.

A bludgers was knocked into Kain's broom sending her and the remaining bits into one of the Ravenclaw watch towers then drop like a sack of potatoes to the wet ground." Kevin caught the snitch. Gryffindor wins!"

The four players who had been hurt during the game were looked over by Madam Pomphrey all of which were now out cold or rather still. Teams mates and friends watched and waited. "All right you all have to go when they wake up you may visit them again." she began to shoo them away.

Kain sat up quickly her eyes fully alert. "Your awake." Jenna smiled she and the other two going back to the bed. "I've been up for a few moments. My head hurts. What happened?" she asked. They looked a bit grim. "Your broom. First the bludger got it then you flew into a Ravenclaw tower and it broke even more. Good thing is we won." Harold said putting the pieces of her broom on the bed. "You can always make another Kain not that bad." Dawn said.

"Guess as long as Snape doesn't have that smug look on his face I'll be fine. But I'm going to miss two games." said man walked in looking just as he always had. He walk right passed the beds and to poppy with a small box in his hand. "This isn't the last game." He said looking at them and then walking out.

Poppy reached into the box and pulled out pulled out what looked to be a potion for headaches. "Drink this. Don't eat anything for a while. Wait till dinner. I've checker you over already you may leave. But don't do anything reckless." the mediwitch warned. "Right." Kain left with her friends. Headache subsiding. They lost the next two games.
