The train ride home was loud and pleasant. The eight students crowded into one carriage they were all laughing. It was a trip home to remember. When they go to the train station everyone said their good byes and began looking for their parents. "I'll write you over the holidays." Arrum said. "Then I shall write back. Maybe." She smiled. "Good-bye Ms. Lupin." Arrum kissed her cheek and walked away.

Kain found Harry by the entrance of the train station. He had a smile on his face sure he was aloud to smile but with her family best be on your guard. "Will you knock it off? Nothing is going to happen." Harry said. "This is Sirius Black were talking bout. Marauder from birth till his death he will always be a marauder. Lately I think he and Snape are working together to torment me." She said. They got out of the car. Harry opened the door and walked in first.

Kain looked around. "Pups that you?" Remus called. "We're back." Kain called. Sirius came out of the study and hugged his daughter swinging her around. "I don't like that look on your face what did you do?" She eyed the dark haired man. "I didn't do a thing. But you did pretty good pup." he laughed. "What?" Kain was confused. "These." Sirius held up the picture of her dancing with Arrum and another of the two of them standing there smiling. "Give me those. Padfoot come here you over grown mutt. Severus Snape your a dead man." she chased after her father who was laughing like a madman.

"Give me the pictures." she had cornered the man. "It's no use I've already sent copies to Molly." He said. Kain threw her arms in the air and walked away. "You win." She called. "Where you going?"

"To kill one Severus Snape. Where are you, you greasy-overgrown-bat-git?" She said. Sirius came back in laughing Remus was at the counter cooking with a huge smile on his face. There was a tap at the window. A brown colored owl was on the ledge a letter in it's mouth. "Who's owl is that?" Remus asked. Kain and Sirius shrugged. She opened the window and took the letter. The owl did not fly away even after she gave it a treat. "It wants a reply." Severus came in. "You can't talk for a while. I'm going to kill you for those pictures." The man sat down with a smile.

Dear Kain,

When I arrived home I was greeted with a small envelope on my bed. It had the pictures we had all taken at Winter Solstice. My parents came into the room while I was looking at them and tried to guess which girl you were. They thought Jenna was you. When I corrected them my father couldn't believe how beautiful you were. My mother said you remind her of herself. I had once described you to them. They took the pictures and framed them. I was powerless to stop them sorry. I know you must have your own. Merry Christmas.

Yours,

Arrum.

Dear Arrum,

Are the pictures really hanging up? I have my own set but I'm not hanging them up. Instead when walking through the door my dad surprised me with them. I chased him all about trying to get them back. Snape looks like a satisfied tomcat at what he had done. I'll get the git. Happy holidays.

Kain.

The holiday had been rather nice with Snape present of course and none other then the snow ball fight and destroying of poor snow men. It was the day before New Year's eve when Remus called Kain from her room. She had been talking to Stella no less. "I forgot to tell you we're having a New year's party. Everyone already knows but now I need your wondrous help in this kitchen." Remus had everything laid out. Kain shook her head. "What?"

"You want help making things like cookies and things well it's better to make them tomorrow that way they don't take in so much air and they will still taste good. Besides day old cookies are nasty." She said. "Good point. Shall we start dinner then?" She nodded. As the two worked they made conversation. "So when do you plan on bringing this young man home cub?" Kain froze.

"With you two goofy gits about?" Remus smiled and nodded. "Never." She said. They weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend officially. "You're falling for him." Remus teased. "Oh hush. Isn't this a conversation for aunt Molly? Shouldn't you be telling me to stay away from him? That he's no good for me. Telling me I shouldn't date till I'm 30." She rambled.

That was the end of the conversation. She'd wait till her Aunt Molly got to the house tomorrow to talk to the two about the whole thing. Kain had only ever known the love of her friends and family. Arrum was an outsider in bits and pieces and it was true she had been telling herself for the last week she was falling for him. Would he ask her to be his girlfriend the untamable wolf?

She had written letters to her friends who surprisingly already knew about it. They would be present for the holiday.

~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~

Getting up early they got started with cooking and decorating. Much magic was used and music. "We're here." The voice of one Molly Weasley called. Kain rushed out of the kitchen and into the arms of the plump woman. "You. Me talk now." Kain took the woman's hand and took her to her room. "What's the matter deary?"

"I'm sure you've seen the pictures from the Winter Solstice. Well the young man who I said I don't like. I think I'm falling for him. Snape got here before I did and Showed Padfoot the pictures. When I walked in the door Padfoot said I did well. Remus asked me when I would bring him here. This is stuff you should be asking. They should be saying 'No way in hell are you going to date.' and 'Over my dead body will you date.'" She told the woman in a very much so understandable rant.

"What would you like me to do?" molly asked. "Get them to be fathers and tell me I shouldn't date. Not asking me when I'm going to bring him home." Kain growing up when she was young it was a parent thing. But she was never a bad child. She never had to be yelled at for anything. As she grew older it was more of a pack and friendship that they had. She had always called them Remus/Moony and Sirius/Padfoot because they didn't like the way dad or papa sounded.

Molly had always been there with the motherly things. They would have long talks when Kain was home. If She ever needed to see someone she had Molly as well as Ginny and Hermione. But mostly Molly who after seven kids had a lot of experience. "I'll Talk to them dear." She kissed the girls forehead. "Thank you."

"So when are you bring him to meet us, he's quiet the looking." they giggled. "I don't know. But when I do you'll be the first to know that I'm bringing him. Promise." Kain giggled. They ventured downstairs to find more people around. Molly talked to Remus and Sirius. It seemed that when midnight came about Kain was the only one without the midnight snog. And she was Snape had a quick snog with Tonks. Next year she would be sharing that kiss with Arrum. She hoped any way.
