A/N: Ack! I didn’t think it was that bad of a cliffhanger! I apologize immensely! I don’t want to post too much because then you all may have to wait a week or so with no updates. We wouldn’t want that now, would we? This is a really short chapter, but so you know the battle is coming soon.
goldhorse: you are so funny! I know I have a slight evil streak…. But I’m also a bit masochistic… which is why I love your stories so much *wink*
Luminari_Lilium: *chuckling* As I said above I didn’t think it was a cliffie! I apologize for that! You want more? You shall have it! *waves wand* See? Like magic!
Hardygirl133: sorry, sorry!! I can’t explain how much it means to me that I can have someone enthralled to my writing. It’s such an amazing feeling. I hope I continue to keep you interested and you continue to enjoy it.

Not a week later Remus was set to go to an Order meeting. Hermione was instructed to stay at the Burrow. She spent the day relaxing, writing, and doing yoga. She found the latter helped keep her muscles loose.
Remus arrived at Grimmauld Place 30 minutes early for the order meeting, but on time for his personal meeting. He headed up the stairs to his old room and knocked twice. He heard a four-knock reply and knocked one more time. The door opened and he stepped inside, closing and warding the door behind him. The room was dark. He could make out Severus’ figure sitting on the edge of the bed.
Closing his eyes, Remus smelled the other occupant in the room. A musky forest scent tied in with sage. Moony pushed a growl through his throat and he pinned the boy to the wall. He heard a whimper and stepped back a few steps before sitting on the bed beside Severus.
“I apologize.” He said simply. “From one wolf to another, I’m sure you understand.” He smirked when he heard Severus gasp beside him.”
“What shall I call you?” he asked.
“Remus is fine. Or Moony. You?”
“I’m sure you recognize me, but the scent is mostly Rubio.”
“Ah. A fine name, very fitting. Alright Rubio. I hope you are okay with this meeting. We have another wolf who will be on the battlefield and I need to make some points. You understand the scent of pack, or at least your wolf does. Your wolf will also recognize those who are a threat and those who are not. You need to use your instincts.
“I’m not sure what Severus has told you about the battle, but I will say, if you plan on being in the battle, stay at the castle until it starts. If you are to leave the grounds, you will not be able to get back in.”
“Yes, sir.” He replied
Remus huffed, but continued on. “I have some questions that may be personal in nature, but are necessary. Have you had any dreams lately? If so, what of?”
“They were normal up until a few weeks ago. From then on I was always a wolf, running alongside a brown wolf. She just showed up one night.” The boy said
“If you were to meet that wolf on a battlefield, what would you do?”
“I’m not sure. Depends on what side she were fighting on I guess. But I’m not sure I could hurt her.”
“That works for me. That’s all I needed to know.” Remus stood up and put his hand out to the young pup in front of him. “Thank you for meeting with me.” He said. When Rubio took his hand he smiled. “I know you don’t know me, Rubio, but if you have any questions please feel free to come to me.” He turned around to face the bed. “Severus, we’ll need enough potion for three wolves.” With that he undid his wards and left the room.
Once down the hall, Remus leaned against the wall and put his head in his hands. Another pup, he thought. He was probably changed just to be used as a weapon. His stomach turned at the thought. They will pay.
With that he headed down to the kitchen to say hi to everyone before heading back to the floo and his own flesh and blood.

Severus remained seated on the bed as the boy walk towards him. He didn’t lift his eyes when he felt the bed shift beside him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Come now uncle” the boy said. “You have been in the wizarding world long enough to understand the prejudices against the werewolves. I’ve seen how you’ve treated Lupin.”
“That was in the past, Draco!” Severus yelled. “The issues between me and Lupin had very little to do with his condition. It had more to do with childhood rivalries from when we were at Hogwarts together.”
Draco looked at his godfather. “I’m sorry for not trusting you enough to tell you the truth. I’m ashamed of this… monster I’ve become.”
“I won’t pretend to know what you are going through, because I don’t” Severus started. “But you need to trust me.”
“I have trusted you! Why else would I be here risking my neck? With a bunch of people I could never stand no less!”
“Why did you come to me Draco?” he asked.
“I don’t know exactly. Its not just one thing, it’s a combination of many. Including wanting to rid everyone of that madman.” Draco paused for a moment, thinking. “That and something about… your scent. I know it sounds weird…”
“Believe it or not, it doesn’t.” Severus looked at Draco sadly. “How did this happen Draco? When did this happen to you?”
“When? A couple of moons ago. I’ve had to go through two changes without wolfsbane. I don’t remember what happened…” Draco shivered. The memory of waking up with blood on his body the morning after each change, shaking him. Clearing his throat he continued “As for how? Well it’s really not hard to figure that out.”
“I understand the who, but not the how or the why.”
Draco closed his eyes, remembering. “I was put in the dungeons. I refused to rape some muggle girl that was brought in. Even with them punishing mother, I couldn’t do it.” Is grey eyes opened and flashed dangerously. “They locked me in the dungeons for days, taking turns torturing me. Greyback especially took a liking to me.” He shivered unconsciously. “It was a week before they released me… just int time for another revel. I once again refused to rape, hoping that they would just kill me for my contempt. But they locked me back up again.” He looked at Severus with pained eyes. “It was the full moon. I was Greyback’s favorite toy before the moon, so you can imagine what it was like with the moon.” Draco swallowed the bile threatening his throat.
Severus put his arm around his godson, seething inside. “Alright Draco, you don’t have to continue.” The older man took a shaky breath. “I’m so sorry you had to go through all that and witness all you had to witness. But I am proud of you for the strength you showed.”
Draco scoffed at that. “Strength? What strength? I am a monster now. Any strength I have is when I am that monster with no humanity. Sure my wolf and I agree when I am in human form, but when I am wolf? It is all Rubio. I have no control. What do I have now? My mother won’t even look at me, won’t even touch me.”
“You have family.” He replied. Draco scoffed. “I’m not talking about your mother and father, I’m talking about pack Draco.” The blonde looked up. “Why do you think you came to me when you did? Was it a conscious decision or something else?”
“I don’t know. It just felt… safe to talk to you about it all. About…” he ran his hands through his hair. “I don’t know, ok?”
“You don’t know now, but you will.”
Draco looked confused at his godfather. They sat in silent contemplation for a bit before a knock on the door brought their attention to where they were. Bill Weasley stood on the other side and nodded once at Draco. The blonde knew there was some wolf in the older Weasley, but not sure how much. His confusion must have shown on his face. “I was bit near the moon, but not one it. I’m not full wolf, but just have some tendencies like short temper and increased strength. I’ve also come to enjoy rare meat.”
Draco chuckled at that info and shook hands with the red head. Shaking hands with a Weasley? Now I know there’s something wrong with me…
