Dear Dawn, Alanna and Jenna,

I'm alive and well still. Snape hasn't killed me. I'll be seeing you at the picnic you remember when right? I hope so. Remember you can just floo right over on the day of okay. I might sleep most of the day it's a full moon so get ready for it. There's lots of land to run about on. Hope you asked your parents if you could all stay. See you soon.

Love,

Kain.

P.s. I made a bet with Snape for seventh year. I think I just signed my soul away. The bet is that if Gryffindor beats Slytherin house our seventh year he was to charm his hair red and gold for a month. And the same goes for me. We lose I get a new look.

Dear aunt Molly,

Yes it's fine about the moon. Might do us some good to run about breather clean air. Harry told me about Remus nice going. I'm sure he's told you about what happened. Well I'm fine now. Pale but nothing new. I'm a bit thinner then before but please don't try to over feed me. I've been eating. Sev and I will both be there the day of the picnic.

Love

Kain.

The day of the picnic had gotten there. Snape awoke at his normal time that morning. He peeked into the room of the sleeping werewolf. She was curled under the covers. He'd wake her up soon so she could dress then let her go back to sleep. He went to the kitchen for his own breakfast. Half an hour later he woke Kain. She was sluggish on her feet it seemed. What surprised him more was that she walked into the living room and continued her sleep on the couch till one in the afternoon. She had all the signs of what was to come in a few hours. Sev picked up the wolfsbane potions and energy potions for the two wolves. They shouldn't have to sit out the entire day because of something they couldn't help.

They flooed to the Weasley's. Molly fussed just a bit and showed them outside. Kain greeted her friends and proceeded to go use her father as a pillow like he used his husband. "Sirius when do you wake them up?" I asked. "Not for another hour or so." He said. We didn't need to they woke by themselves. After taking the potions the two were up and talking. Eating whatever food there was. Kain explained to her friends what happened to her. Now it was do as little moving as possible. "That's it."

The twins said in unison. "We're going," Fred said. "To the creek." George finished. "Who's coming'?" they said together again. The other Weasley children followed. The rest of them followed. If only to get their feet wet. By the time the other adults got there the teens and young adults were in the water-cooling off.

Sirius felt the prankster in him get the better of him. Sev who had been standing on the edge was a perfect target. He pushed the dark haired man in. At that moment everyone stopped. When he came back up he snatched blacks leg pulling him in a dunking him under. The others all laughed. They had never seen the potions master this playful before. Bout time he lighten up and join the games they played.

They all sat waiting for the moon to come up. It was very close now. Alanna, Jenna, Dawn, Harry, Sirius, and Ron turned into there animgus forms. Remus and Kain were wolves and looking rather pleasant at the moment. "How about a game of find the flag. Fred and I will go up on our brooms and fly about leaving clothe all about the woods. With our furry friends here they can sniff it out. Team back with the most cloth wins." He said.

"Lets do it." they agreed. Everyone was put into teams. Fred and George did their part then everyone set off into the woods. When they got back two and half-hours later. The winning team Sev, Harry, Arthur and Percy.

Dawn was coming soon so everyone went inside to stake claim on a spot or your had the floor. Blankets and pillows were set about. After Kain a Remus has changed back and dressed they collapsed to the floor for a fitful sleep. "Those two. Well they may not be awake but we'll inform them later. Severus Snape you are part of this wacky family. Welcome to it." Arthur said. The others agreed.

Snape smiled. A family. They were an odd bunch but he didn't care he was welcomed into it.

The net morning everyone human was up a little before noon. Kain and Remus didn't awake till some time after two. Everyone had breakfast and was chatting lightly some of the others had left. Remus had gone to lie back down at some point in time. Sirius followed him. If you were under the age of twenty you most likely would have said get a room to the couple as they shared kisses and spoke sweet nothings to each other.

"I claim them but jeez knock it off." Kain grumbled. "See that's why guys are scared of you. Arrum is the only guy with enough guts to try and she wants to kill him." Dawn said. "Traitor." Kain growled through her teeth. "A man in my pup's life. What's he like?" Sirius asked. "He's annoying. He chased Me twice because he wanted to talk to me. He's annoying and a git and I don't like him." Kain said.

"Yes you do. He gave her a rose for valentine's day she burned it up right there. He's crazy about her. So much so that he asked one of his friends to talk to Dawn." Alanna said. "You are the worst best mates."

"Why do you keep pushing him away. You deserve as much a chance to love as the rest of us." Remus said. "Because once he finds out what I truly am he'll drive himself into the black lake. " she said. "Why don't you give him a chance? You like and you know it. You've been denying it so long you think you don't he can't be that bad." Remus said.

"Love is not something to pass up. Believe me I know. And no you will hear no more on the matter. Nothing what's so ever." Severus said. "Look if I give him a chance that's my doing but if I don't he'll just have to be a broken hearted Gryffindor." She said. "I bet if he tried Quidditch you'd give him a chance." Jenna said.

"Fat chance he'll get on a broom and play. But it would be funny to see." She said. She didn't see the look That her three friends shared. "You pup are just like your Aunt Minnie. She pushed away her husband for years before he embarrassed himself she laughed when she was the only one around to help him. She fell for him after that." Molly shared.

"But don't say anything to her about this alright. It wasn't my story to tell and I regret telling it." Molly said. Everyone was gone by that night. Molly was smiling all day after she had found out about her niece's love issue. She knew very well that it would work out. She didn't get high marks in divination for nothing.

~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~

When returning home Dawn got set writing a letter to Bill. The two had been sending letters back and forth all summer.

Dear Bill,

Do you think you could get Arrum to try for Quidditch? Kain loves it as you can see. She may give him a chance. She doesn't care who the person is if they get hurt on the field she helps unless it's Slytherin. If he gets hurt she'll help. Maybe you should try for the team. I'd root for you.

Yours

Dawn.
