Kain read the letter and laughed. Needless to say a few people had been shocked to see the two together the notorious wolf and Arrum. It was clear they loved each other but that didn't mean Kain had been tamed. Dragnus had found that out the hard way.

FLASHBACK
"Well it looks like the beast has finally been tamed. Oi! Black how does it feel finally having a leash put on?"
"Shut up Dragnus." Arrum had taken Kain's arm. "Just ignore him he's jealous he couldn't have a great girl like you." Arrum had said. "She'll make the perfect wife for you Wynterwood. All your children will have four legs." Dragnus had taken it to far that time. Kain was quicker then the boy and punched him in the face.
She broke his nose. "Serves you right. Now unless you want to be made into a pretty woman again I suggest you shut your trap." she said before storming off.
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
That had been four days ago. Kain had calmed down about it. But now was ready to beat her head into the wall. They were going home in two days for the Easter holiday and she still hadn't asked Arrum if he would come to dinner.
"Kain?" Arrum walked the brunette for a minute before waving his hand in front of her face. "Huh? Oh hey." She smiled. Didn't matter what kind of day she was having seeing Arrum smiling at her made her feel better even if she was already happy. "What's wrong you've been distracted for a while now? Did I do something to upset you? Was it what Dragnus said because-"
"No it's nothing like that. I've been arguing with myself wondering if I should ask you this." She looked at her hands. "Ask me what?" Arrum was confused now.
"Come on lets go for a walk." The got up and began walking the corridors. "I've been meaning to ask you if you would like to come meet my family and have dinner with us. It's just one night over the break I understand if you say no. You know what ju-"
He put a finger to her lips to quiet her. "I'd love to have dinner with you and your family."
"Really? Yes. Your not allergic to anything are you? Food wise anyway." Arrum shook his head. "Good."
"Didn't know you knew how to cook." Arrum spoke. "I can cook as well as I can make potions. They're kinda like doing the same thing. Only one herbs and hearts the other veggies and meat." She smiled. "Well I'll be looking forward to it then. I have a paper to write see you at dinner." He dashed off down the hall.
~.o0o~o0o~o0o.~
Dear Aunt Molly,
Arrum said yes to dinner. I hope you and Uncle Arthur will be present for it. If not both then just you someone has to keep the two in line. I'll fire call in a few days for when the dinner will be. I'm cooking the meal alone so don't even think about picking up a pot when you come.
Love Kain
"Kain how do I look?" Sirius came into the kicthen the night of the dinner. "Are you color blind? You have on black slacks, a purple vest, midnight blue shirt, brown suit jacket, and a blue tie. You sir are color blind. Come along then." Kain turned the fire to low. She took hold of the mans arm and led him up the stairs and into the room he and Remus shared. Remus was in the shower now. Sirius sat on the bed while Kain rummaged in the closet.
"I was trying to look like a parent. This was a all I had and I'm not good at changing colors to things." Padfoot explained. "Okay here were those slacks and this shirt it's fine." Kain handed him the clothes.
"You know I love you and this is all to mess with you." he smiled. "Yeah I know." Kain laughed. "I'm here!" molly called from the living room. Kain rushed down stairs. "Hi aunt Molly. Harry is getting dressed, Remus is in the shower and Sirius is getting dressed. Dinner is almost ready I was about to set the table." She explained.
"I'll do that dear. I'm going to help somehow. But your helping by just being here."
"I know but I'm helping." They made their way back into the kitchen. Harry, Remus and Sirius were all dressed and in the living room. Molly had gone to join them While Kain finished up the kitchen. The doorbell rang. "I got it nobody move." Kain rushed to the door straighten her clothes before she opened the door. "Hello."
"Hello beautiful." Arrum leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "Come in." Kain stepped aside to let the boy in. he wore a deep red button up shirt with black jeans. His hair was pushed back away from his face. "Come on." She showed him into the living room.
"Everyone this Arrum. Arrum this is my Aunt Molly, that's Harry, This is Remus and of course Sirius." Kain did the introduction. Sirius stood and began to size Arrum up. Sirius was and inch taller. "Pleasure to meet you Mr. Black." Arrum held out his hand. Sirius shook it and was surprised to see that the grip was returned just as firm.
Remus stood. "Mr. Lupin." Arrum shook the werewolf's hand. "No need to be so formal please call me Remus. Mr. Potter he moved to shake Harry's hand. He had about three inches on Harry. He took Molly's hand and kissed it. "You're a charmer you are." She smiled. "Alright come along dinners ready and on the table." Kain said.
"What did you make cub you wouldn't let anyone in the kitchen? Shrimp, chicken and broccoli alfredo with linguini noodles." Kain said sitting down. "Sounds great." Arrum said. "You should cook more when your around." Harry said. "What get sick of my cooking?" Remus teased. "No. But you could use a break." he said. "How can I cook I'm barely home. I'm either here or your shipping me off to stay with Sev for my apprenticeship." Kain said.
"Apprenticeship? But that's not till seventh year." Arrum was confused. "The summer between fourth and fifth year Snape hurt himself and asked Remus if I could help him for he summer. Snape's been giving me seventh year potions to brew this year. Since the second part of first year I've been brewing potions one year up them everyone else but only when were working alone." Kain explained. "Smart and beautiful."
~Some time after dinner~
Dinner had gone very well. Sirius had lightened up on the young man. There were a few laughs mostly from the others as they re-laid stories about Kain as she grew up. Arrum was getting ready to leave all at the door to say good-bye. "Young man you have full permission to date my daughter. But you hurt her I'll hex you." Sirius said.
Molly was next. "It was nice meeting you deary. Be good to her." Molly went into the living room. "Just take care of my sister." Harry said. He wouldn't need to threaten him Remus still hadn't said his good byes. "It was nice meeting you Arrum. You two make a very lovely couple. Arrum I will give this warning but one time. You hurt my cub in any way and you will regret it for the rest of your natural born days. I'm not to be taken lightly understood?" Remus looked at his.
"Y...Yes...Si...Sir...I...understand." Arrum stammered. They stepped outside the door. "Sorry about that. He's protective that way. He and Sirius are animagus both take the form of canines. It's just part of they're nature." She shook her head.
"They care for you a great deal, I do too. I'll try not to mess up." Arrum kissed her quickly. "Good night Kain." He left. The dinner had gone well. Very well.
