"What?" Kain couldn't believe her ears. Kain would rather stay home.
"You heard us your staying with me for the summer. I have a spare room for you. We won't make potions during the weeks ends and you'll be able to visit every now and again. Until you know how to apparate." Snape said. "It's not like your leaving for good pup. You can still fire call and write to us. And There's the moon and Molly's picnic coming up soon. Really we won't have a chance to miss you." Remus said.
She looked at her parents and then Snape. If she didn't go she didn't make potions. And she had come to far to quit. "Alright. When do we leave?" she asked. "Monday. Its Thursday you have till then to get packed up. Books, clothes, your owl. I'd get started and not put it off." Snape said.

Dear Dawn, Jenna and Alanna,
I'm all better now what was wrong with me was a werewolf thing I'll explain some other time. The picnic is on the night of the moon so I'll explain it then. But if you remember last summer when I told you I was helping Professor Snape because of his broken leg? Well he started my apprenticeship last summer and I'm continuing it this summer. But to do so I have to stay with him for the summer. Using too much floo and I haven't learned to apparate yet so I have to go. I'll still write when I can.
Love,
Kain.

Kain got started packing with the help of Harry she was able to shrink a few things they wouldn't turn back till she opened it Monday. Packing away a good few books to read during weekends. She had everything she would need. Stella sat on her perch looking at Kain. She fluttered over to Kain's out stretched arm. Pretty owl she was. Her face looked much like a moon. "Were you worried about me?" She asked the owl. Stella let out a sound of some sort then nuzzled Kain's head.
"You have to behave while we're at Snape's this summer okay? Now where did I put your owl treats?" Stella sat perched on Kain's shoulder most of the day. Snape had left Saturday to get the room in order for the girl's stay. IT was Sunday. Tomorrow she would be out the fireplace to the Potions master. "You better go say good bye to Hedwig before we go." She told the owl. Opening the window Stella flew out to go find Hedwig.
The next morning with her shrunken trunk in her pocket and Stella in her cage She flooed to Snape's. The professor stood in the living room waiting. "Good now we can get started. Come I'll show you your room." He led her down a hall way to the last door on the right. "This will be your room. I will respect your privacy if you respect mine. Which I know you will do. The wardrobe is empty so feel free to use it. You have free use of the desk. We have to go out so you may unpack later."
He left the door. Not wanting to keep him waiting Kain set Stella's cage down and opened it letting the owl fly to her perch. The window seat was nice and roomy with a cushion. She opened the window. Walking over to the foot of the bed she pulled out her trunk and quickly set it down as it went to it original size. "Be good be back soon." she told the owl.
Kain walked down the hall into the living room. "Good. Now We need to go out to Diagon Alley. We also must stop in a muggle market for food." He said. She followed him out the front door, which was in a hall off the kitchen, into the bright light. "It burns it's so bright." She complained. Snape tsked. "Professor how are we getting to Diagon Alley." she whispered the name as they walked past muggles. "We're take a passage way. There is a tavern that only we can see. Through there is a passage way that will take us." Snape said.
Snape walked with a fast pace being that his legs were longer Kain had to trot to keep up with him. After walking for some time he stopped. "Do you see it?" He asked. The leaky cauldron. Muggles walked passed it as if they never saw it. A witch and wizard entered. "Come on." He walked across he road the with her by his side. "Don't speak to anyone just walk through."
They walked in wizards and witches alike sat at tables some alone some talking. Each with a cup of something cool to drink. She followed Snape out the back door. They came to a brick wall. "Wha-?" He pulled out his wand and touched the stones counter clock wise around four that had been pushed in. They began to fold in on themselves making a passageway. "Wow." Kain exclaimed. "You've never come this way?" He asked walking along. "No. We always floo or apparate, which I hate to do."
"First we have to get a few things for the potions lab we're in need of dragon's blood, bat eyes, ground newt bones, toad hearts, wolfsbane, bezoar, monkshood, belladonna and dragon heart strings." Snape said. They entered a shop that had shelves of boxes and vials. Begin looking for these items." He handed her the list. He went to talk to the shop keep while Kain set to looking for what he said to find. Half an hour later she had everything but the belladonna, and dragon heart strings.
"Professor I found everything but belladonna and dragon heart strings." She handed him the box in which she carried everything. "Who is this?" The old shopkeeper asked. "My apprentice Kain." He said. "Well Ms. Kain belladonna can be found in the front in a labeled box and well and the dragon heart strings." The man said. She looked in the direction then back to the man. "Thank you."
After paying for the items they were placed into a box and the box was charmed to shrink. They two went to an alleyway. "What are we doing?"
"Apparating to Hagrid's he has some hippogriff feathers that I need. Take my arm." She did so. "
"Oh Merlin."
~.o0o.o0o.o0o.~
"Please no more apparating. Let's just walk back." Kain said. She looked paler. They had apparated three times. Kain hated apparating. "We can walk from here." They left out of the leaky cauldron. "We will drop these off then head to the muggle market." Snape said. "This is a long day. Slow down." Kain said running after Snape.
A quick stop in the flat and they were back out the door again. "You shop in a muggle a muggle market for your food?" She questioned. "They're fruits and vegetables taste better. Now I want you to get what's of this list. I'll be across the street at the butcher." He said handing her muggle money and the list. He had everything written down and numbered.
As she picked out what was on the list Snape dealt with the butcher across the street. Kain hand three bags loaded down with food and went across the street into the butcher shop. Bad idea. She could feel Orian sire at the smell of raw meat. Orian was hungry and would try to break out for it. Canines grew in. "Kain all done?" He turned She nodded. "See you around Severus." called the large man from behind the counter.
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
After putting everything away they sat down for lunch. Orian settled again. "Go unpack we'll start tomorrow with potions." He noticed that she hadn't spoken. He wondered if he'd don't anything. If he had he would let it be till tomorrow unless it came to bite him in the rear end. "Kain?" He knocked on the door. "Enter." He did so. She was putting her clothes in the wardrobe.
"Are you upset about something?"
"When I entered the meat shop my canines came out. I haven't have raw meat since two days before we left for school." She turned to Snape.
"Then go eat some. There's more then enough in there. Now I'll be in the Potion's lab whilst you eat." he said. Just two years and she'd be done with school. But she won't aloud to teach till 21. For the three years Ginny and Hermione said that she could work in the sweet shop with them.
The first few days were rather awkward. Trying to figure out who did what and when. One thing never failed the part always came out for something to eat at three o'clock sharp. If they ever eat dinner it was always a late one followed by sleep.

Harry,
Hey if your still alive and he hasn't put you into any of the potions yet write a letter once in a while. Molly's getting worried. She just checked the calendar and saw the when the moon came. Remus wants to know if you're really okay with the picnic being on the full moon. If you are send the letter to Molly. Remus said he'd be fine with it. Believe it or not he gained weight thanks to Molly. He's been helping her this past week.
Love
Prongslet.
P.s. Sirius said say to Snape Red and gold Silver and green. He'll know what it means.
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
"What was the letter about if, you don't mind me asking." Snape said as she came back into the lab. "Harry he said I should write more. I also have to send a letter to aunt Molly regarding the picnic. Also Padfoot said to tell you red and gold, silver and green." She looked at the potions master. Snape chuckled. "What?"
"They are Gryffindor and Slytherin colors. One year while we were still in school there was a big Quidditch game coming up. We had gotten into and argument about who would win. Slytherin or Gryffindor. So we said that we would go around the school with our hair charmed the colors of our houses. The loser would have to wear the colors of the winning house." He said.
"Well who won Sev?"
"Slytherin did. Back then we had more seventh years on the team and they were rather large." He said. Kain broke into a fit of giggles. "What?"
"One picturing Padfoot with silver and green hair. Two I want to make that bet with you." She said. "Dumbledore told me about what happens when there are enough seventh years of all the teams. There will be for my seventh year. If I lose I charm my hair Slytherin colors for a week. And if you lose you do the same only with red and gold." She held out her hand.
"Make it a month." Snape said shaking her hand. "Deal." Kain smiled. "This is gonna be good get to kick Slytherin hide."
"I doubt you'll win Lioness." Sev said in a teasing voice. "That's she-wolf to you." they laughed.
