It was the night of the Winter Solstice. "To think you didn't want to go that first year. But went anyway." Dawn said. "Shut up." She wore a red dress this time. The belt around her hips was gold. This time it was a gold right that sat upon her head. "I still can't believe you called Snape a giant bat to get out of it. He was pissed. Those First years were too chicken to do it." Alanna said.
"Ready?" Jenna walked out of the bedroom dressed and ready to go. The others nodded. In the great hall their men waited for them. "The huntress is on the prowl." a warm voice whispered in her ear. "Don't even try that. Just shut up and dance." They stood near a corner slowly swaying to the music. They watched everyone from their spot. Dumbledor walked up to the stage and everything stopped.
"Dawn Mortimer Bill has a message for you. He wants to know if you'll marry him."
"YES!" The couple quickly spotted the two Dawn and Bill smiling ever so happily. The room was filled with clapping and cheers. "I hope they have a great marriage." Arrum said. "Me too."
"Arrum?" Kain kept her eyes on the ground. "Yes my huntress?" Arrum was hoping she was going to say she would take him back. Since the moon they had become comfortable around each other again. Like friends but with the lingering of something more waiting to come. "Will you take me as you girlfriend again?"
"Yes." They two hugged and shared a passionate kiss. "Shall we dance milady?" Arrum held out his arm. "We shall." they went out onto the dance floor. A simple foxtrot.

SEVEN MONTHS LATER
"I have a few words to say about the bride and groom. Marriage is a three-ring circus. The engagement ring. The wedding ring and the suffering. I'm joking of course. You two are the match made in heaven. May you have many happy years." Gareth said.
"You two will forever be happy. With little mini yous running about in no time. Bill you be good to her or I will be forced to hex you." Alanna said.
"Bill you hurt her know very well what happens." Kain glared at the man then smiled. "To the happy couple."
Few more speeches and toast later Raoul took the stand being the best man it was his turn. "I know you mates remember how when we all meet that day on the train we said that girls were annoying. Then the years went and we four of the best women there have ever been. True they were the best friends of Kain the wolf. But we were willing to take a chance. May you have very happy years together. Alanna I love you like crazy and want to spend the rest of my life with you If you'll have me. "Will you do me the honors of being my bride?"
All eyes went to Alanna. "Yes." the room clapped.
"Another wedding. I'm happy for them. Jenna and Gareth should be getting married soon." Kain said. "What about us? When do we tie that knot?" Arrum laced his fingers with hers. "When you propose and put the ring on my finger. Or in some magical way you think it up." She leaned in and kissed him. "I love you Kain."
"And I love you Arrum."

At the picnic that was held in August at The Burrow Kain and Arrum were making another walk around the house. "If we got married in Spring or Summer I'd like to do it here where there's space." He said. "I've always wanted a winter wedding. I've always enjoyed snow and wanted to get married in it. Rather then putting cake to my husband's lips it would be snow. Come on enough of this chatter you need to get your rest and I need to get Remy's and my potion before tonight. I must also check on your Polyjuice potion. You have to drink all of it or you will change back in the middle of the night." They started back to the house.
The month they had planned for the event hade to be postponed. Bill couldn't make it that night. Nor could Snape or Arthur. It was now being held the full moon in August everyone was present so far. Minerva and Poppy were still needed as well as Dumbledor.
That night they all stood about in a group watching. Remus and Kain in their forms. Severus held a bowl with the Polyjuice potion. The more you drink the longer you last.
State your business here.
Came the voice of Remus. Everyone had used the spell to under stand the wolves for the ceremony. "I've come to prove my worth before the pack for the hand of Kain Lupin-Black. Daughter of Sirius and Remus Lupin-Black. With that said I will drink this potion and fight Sirius" Arrum striped himself to his boxers.
"Drink this potion it has the hairs of a dog for you to take shape. With it you will Prove your worth. The potion will last you to sunrise. Drink." Severus held the bowl to Arrum's lips who drank it down. Arrum's skin started to bubble as he took the new form. HE stood looking out over the others.
Severus stood by the others and Sirius stepped in front of the dog the same size as he. They fought biting at each others throats while the others watched. Whines and cries came from the two as they fought, more so from Arrum then Sirius. The two stopped in front of each other panting, sucking in air. Arrum sat back and bowed his head to the older male.
You put up a good fight. I see no problem here.
Sirius said to the dog in front of him. Arrum stood and walked to sit in front of Remus. Arrum round over and bared his stomach. He then licked the cheeks of Remus and Sirius.
You have been accepted as a member of this pack and your asking of my daughter's hand has been recognized. Welcome to the pack.
A howl rose from the two wolves. Orian stepped forward and looked at Arrum. She took off in a run Arrum following her. When dawn was on the way back Kain left to change back. The others taking human form again. Kain walked back into the room dress the others stood around. Arrum stood in the middle of the room. "Kain I love you and accept the wolf in you. I have proven this to you and everyone else here. On this day I ask: Will you marry me?"
Kain tackled him to the ground in a hug. They sat up. "I'm guessing that's a yes?" He smiled. "Yes."
