A/N: there are large time jumps just so you know. Very large ones it just shows where I was to lazy to type anymore at four in the morning.
On with the show.
Kain had a bit of a time trying to hide her lycanthropy but thanks to a glamour it was hidden. She could look Arrum in the face on the full moon and it couldn't have made her happier. The days grew hot as the year was coming to a close. Everyone was paired up with someone and happy. "So when do I get to see you?" Arrum asked. When they had gotten back to school Kain explained the Snape story better. "I get to see you on weekends. I will meet you at the Leaky Cauldron rather then upset Snape about his students showing up at his home during the weekends. I'll see you for the picnic right?"
Arrum nodded, Kai grinned. "Well I best be going. Next year is a big year for us. We graduate, there's that really big Quidditch game. Why don't you let it go this summer and finish during school next year." Arrum suggested. "No because then I'd have to take the class. If I do all my work and make all the potions right I'll be fine. Snape is going to give me the test but he's going to hold the results from me till the end of the school year. That and I won't need his class after this summer." She smiled.
"Lucky. I see Remus and Sirius waiting for you. Good-bye." He pecked her lips before she turn to go. "I write you." He called after her. She waved one last time before turning to Remus and Sirius. After hugging them they began to exit the train station. "Come on your seventeen now and ready for your first solo ride."
"You two and that motorcycle." Remus shook his head but still smiled at them. "You never complained when I gave you a ride." Sirius grinned at the blonde who blushed slightly. "Can you wait till we get home?" Kain asked. When they arrived home Kain's trunk was put inside and the two motor addicts left out the door again.
"Okay you know what everything is. Remember the gas? Break? Emergency break? Invisibility cover?" Kain nodded. "Now let me go." She said. "Let it go." Kain kick started the motorcycle. It revved to life. She put the helmet on before taking off down the empty street. Sirius watched as she went trying to make the bike fly. It started to take off and she put on the invisibility. "Yes! It works." Sirius shouted. In the kitchen Remus rolled his eyes.
Kain was enjoying every second of it. The wind was in her hair. The sun touched her skin and warmed it. She would have to show Arrum this. It was too much fun not to share it with him. Kain came back in for the landing it was a bit shaky but would get better. "That was wicked." She said. "You did it pup all by yourself." Sirius kissed her forehead.
"Better go get packed for Severus' place. You finish this summer then you'll be a teacher. Your hair's not gonna get greasy and you turn pale like Snape are you?" Sirius asked. "I'll try not." They laughed.

(Warning there's going to be lots of time jumps between now and the time they graduate.)
Two days later Kain was working on a few potions while Snape was out. They had to restock the hospital at Hogwarts and fill other potions orders. Yes most being for Saint Mungo's. Everyone had already owled and given in where they were or what they were doing. Arrum had owled that he was going to visit his grandparents in Scotland till the day of the picnic. So much for visits. The full moon was the day before the picnic. Percy, Charlie, and Bill wouldn't be joining them. Molly had insisted that the girls bring the boys. Only Gareth and Arrum would be there.
"Did you finish the potion?" Snape came into the potions lab. "Few more minutes and it'll be done. Professor are you sure you want to give up potions after next year?" Kain asked. "I'm not giving them up entirely. I'll still brew them but it will be more so your job rather then mine. Keeping me away from a cauldron is like telling you can't eat a raw steak."
"Alright as long as you're sure. Guess Professor Ginfind has finally had enough." She said. "During the war everyone thought the job was jinxed."

The full moon had been spent in doors. Kain had curled up in front of the fireplace for the night only going back to her room just before moonset. They were up and out a few hours later. When they got there everyone had gone outside. "Kain!" Arrum had been talking to Ron when he saw the werewolf, had jumped from his spot and ran to hug her before kissing her. There were catcalls and whistling.
"Your turning out to be just as bad as they are." Snape shook his head as they sat down. "Aw young love." The twins teased. "Shut up. Hi Remy." Remus was lying on the ground drifting in and out of conversation and sleep. Unlike Kain he had a very active night. "Hey cub." Remus was lying on his back his arms under his head. She lay down using Remus' stomach as a pillow.
Arrum and Sirius sat a few feet away looking at the relaxed peaceful faces of the two werewolves. "Are they always like that?" Arrum asked. "Yup. Ever since she was five if it ever came to falling asleep with us she used Remus stomach as the pillow. For me I had to hold her and she always used my chest." Sirius explained.
"At some point or another I think we all became some sort of pillow for her." Harry stated. "Hey I use to use my aunts and uncles as pillows because no one would put me down for the first three years of my life. Everyone felt the need to hold me. My mum was surprised I learned to walk." Alanna said. "Lets get them up so we can get the game started." Fred said. "Don't you two ever sit still for ten minutes?" Snape questioned. Arrum was waiting to see the man start laughing. He was already dressed for the out doors. A few minutes later there were two patch wet werewolves.
Kain although short and smaller then the twins tackled George to the ground. "Fred don't just stand there help."
"If you can't handle a sixteen year old girl then that's just sad." Fred said. "I'm your brother come on." Fred jumped into the pile of limbs. "Someone's going to get hurt. Knock it off now." Molly said. The three broke it up. "That was easy. My aunt can never cant my cousin to stop fighting that easy." Gareth said. "She's the mother of seven. Six boys one girl. Hell she even scares me." Sirius said. "When are you not scared of her?" Snape threw into the air. "Shut up because if I remember correctly she gave you the very same threat making even you look like a scolded five year old."
The sun began to make everything get hotter even under the tree. Everyone could be found down by the creek getting feet wet and slashing water at each other. Gareth had to be pushed into the water to get over the shock of seeing Snape in the water laughing along with the others. "Sev?" Gareth questioned testing to see if the name would work. "That's professor or sir to you two. Five points from Gryffindor." The other five Gryffindors groaned. "Real nice mate." Arrum slashed him in the face.
Hours later after much swimming, joking, laughing and eating it had gotten dark. Gareth and Jenna had gone for a bit of a walk while Arrum sat out side under the tree with Kain tucked under his arm. Together the two watched the stars. "I think seeing the starts as they are now is the only thing I miss when I'm home, you don't see as many." Kain said.
"Today was something else. Your family is insane. I saw Snape laughing. Which I get has something to do on your part." Arrum nudged her. "But of course. The summer I started helping him I made a joke about Dumbledore's age and Snape went into fits of laughter. That summer I brought him here for the picnic surprisingly he enjoyed it." Said the girl. "Well I'm glad I got to join you. Having met the twins and heard the stories about Sirius, Remus and James I no longer need to wonder where you get this stuff from."
"Everything here is perfect to me. I have more love then I ever thought I would before I was adopted. When I was little I use to think, how can they love me and I'm not even related to them. It was back then that I realized you don't have to love someone because of blood. You love them because you just do." It made perfect sense. "Did you or do you have muggle friends?" The two had been sitting in silence for a while when Arrum asked.
"I did. I was six when I met her. We were the best of friends. She died though. We were nine when she passed. I sat right by her bedside in the hospital till her hands were cold. She had been my first friend in a long time. That's why I could see the things that pulled the carriage. Thestrals you only see them if you've seen death." She said.
"Kain it's time to go back come along." Snape called out into the darkened area. "Well I'm sorry about your friend. Guess I should get home as well. I'll write you in a few days." They shared a quick snog before Kain and Snape stepped into the fireplace.
