I wanted to take a chance, while I remembered to say thank you for the reviews. I don't say it often and also forget to do so quite a bit.

They encourage me and I appreciate them. I know some authors use the forums to reply to reviews, but I most likely won't. I've tried them before but they always end up confusing me.

Enjoy this chapter.

Severus sat in his chambers downing his fifth shot of fire whisky. Things had rather gone downhill with his mate. He was still angry with her for telling him off, but deep inside, he knew she had been right. He had been immature. He saw a lot of Harry’s father in him, but he also saw quite a bit of his mother. He had the same compassionate, caring attitude. When people were mean to him, he didn’t strike back. He wasn’t the one who started the fights. If Harry was treated badly, he didn’t hold out for a chance to get even. He was unlike his father in that area.

He poured another glass of whisky and frowned. But still, where did his mate, who was only a girl, get the gall to think she could tell an adult how to act? It wasn’t respectful, even if the adult was wrong. She should’ve kept it to herself. He was sure she wouldn’t do that again, at least while she was still underage, and while he was still her Professor.

How to mend the rift? She still had to attend potion classes, but she remained low key now, where before she still was raising her hand all the time, eager to give the answers. When she handed in her assignments she wouldn’t look at him, or say “Thank you professor,” anymore when he took the papers from her.

He had a choice to make. He could continue this way, after all, it wouldn’t affect him. Though Remus had warned him about being nicer to Hermione and gaining her love, trust and friendship, they both know that Hermione really has no choice. The day she turns sixteen will be the day she will be drawn to them, and whether she wants it or not, the day she turns seventeen will be the day they claim her. She will be an adult in the wizarding world then and will be more than capable of being a good mate and a good mother.

His second choice could be a bit more difficult. He could change his attitude toward Harry. He used to love Harry’s mother, and he felt it was his fault that Harry’s parents were dead, though Remus said it wasn’t. He needed closure and he knew just where to find it.

It was the second week of December, and unfortunately the potion was only half finished. They still needed the bicorn horn and the boomslang skin, and the only place they were going to get them was from Snape’s private stores

Hermione volunteered herself to sneak in and get the ingredients, but Harry would need to create a diversion.

So the next day in class, that is exactly what happened.

Hermione quickly gathered the ingredients for the polyjuice potion out of Professor Snape’s storeroom while Harry created his diversion. Her robe stuffed full, she made her way back to her desk successfully with Snape none the wiser.

He was currently threatening a student with expulsion, and that was if he found out who shot the firecracker into Goyle’s potion.

Hermione was a little panicked in all actuality. Snape was angry with her before when she spoke out of turn, but if he ever found out that she stole the potion ingredients, for he was bound to notice them missing later, he might be liable to expel her at the least or maim her at the worst.

It was for a good purpose though. She, Ron, and Harry were bound and determined to know who had opened the Chamber of Secrets. Her life, as well as other muggle magical children’s lives, depended on catching the culprit.

Later that night, before she went to sleep, Hermione decided to read another chapter of her book while she could. She hadn’t had the time to lately due to the fact that she was trying to find out information on the chamber. She wouldn’t have time later either with the potion being almost ready. Settling down in her bed, she opened her book to the second chapter.

Appearance and Attributes

While we will discuss the appearances and attribute of Pantera in this chapter, let us first discuss their emotions.

Pantera are very emotional, but they do not show it. They are very possessive and protective of their mates and children. This may cause problems as Pantera tend to be overprotective at times. The mates and children of Pantera should consider themselves blessed as the Pantera have a great capacity for love and do their utmost to care for their loved ones. Pantera tend to hold grudges for a vast amount of time and find it hard to forgive others.

As far mental attributes, they are very intelligent weres. Even in their animal form, they are able to think clearly and concisely. It as if man and beast have equal bearing, unlike other forms of were, there is no power struggle involved.

The male Pantera are very dominant and expect their mate/s to obey and submit. We will expand on this more in the chapter, mating habits and expectations.

The Pantera in human form are tall, even the females, but still, the males are quite a bit taller. They are lean and muscular with dark eyes, pale skin and ink black hair. They are silent and swift on their feet.

In were form Pantera take on the appearance of a black panther, though much larger. Their fur is thick and silky, their claws and teeth are as white as pearls, and their eyes are as green as emeralds. They are fast and efficient animals, and brilliant hunters and fighters. They are truly fit to be guardians.

The magical attributes of Pantera include an incredible talent to read minds and block others from their minds. This attribute is greatly increased with the knowledge of legilimency and occlumency.

With self-healing powers, Pantera have the ability to eject any poisons or venoms that have been ingested or injected, though it may take a while for them to recover from it.

And finally there is bonding magic. Pantera are able to communicate with their mate/s once they are bonded. They will have the ability instill thoughts and feelings of comfort and love, as well as to know where their mate/s may be located at all times.

Hermione finished off the chapter and set the book down, think on all she had read. There was something about this book, but it was evading her. She would think on it more some other time. Right now she was tired and needed sleep.

Severus lifted a nervous hand and knocked on the door of a small house. Remus stood beside him, offering support and comfort. The door opened to a woman about 65 years of age, she had long graying hair. Her face was a bit weary, and sorrow was in her green eyes.

Severus stood quietly as the woman looked up at him in surprise, her eyes widening.

“Severus?” she asked in a trembling voice.

He felt Remus grab his hand and give it an encouraging squeeze. He swallowed and took a deep breath. “Hello mother.”

“Severus!” his mother exclaimed and wrapped her arms around him, bursting into tears. They stood there for a while, mother and son. For a moment he was unsure of what to do, but soon he slowly placed his arms about her. “It’s okay mom. I here, you’re okay,” he kept assuring here.

She sniffed, “I am so glad you came. Thank you my son. Thank you.” His mother pulled herself out of her son’s arms and saw Remus. “O my goodness! How embarrassing. Here I am blubbering all over my son and in front of a guest too.”

Remus smiled, “It’s fine Mrs. Snape. You haven’t seen your son in a long time.”

“Please, call me Eileen. O, do come in. How long are you staying? Will you stay for Christmas? It’s only three days away. We would love to have you celebrate with us. Severus, your brother will be happy to see you. It will be good to have the family together. I am going to have to do more shopping!”

Severus chuckled in amusement, He forgot how talkative his mother could be. It was good to see her.

She had Remus and Severus sit at the kitchen table as she fixed some tea.

“So, what brought you both to Israel? Taking a tour of the Holy Lands for Christmas? O wait, don’t tell me yet, I am sure your brother will want to know. No use telling the story twice. He should be walking through the door any minute. He and his mate went for a walk. Wait until you meet her! She is very lovely and just perfect for him.” His mother continued on talking and was just about to pour the tea when Severus’ brother and a young woman stepped inside.

Severus and his brother stared at each other for what seemed to be an eternity. He stood up and they both moved toward each other, hugging one another tightly. Finally they moved apart.

“Severus,” his brother greeted.

“Grim”, Severus greeted back.

Remus, Severus’ mother and the young woman all watched the interaction between the two brothers with hopeful hearts.

Grim noticed Remus sitting quietly at the table observing him, nodding toward Remus grim asked, “Your mate?”

Severus replied, “Yes, one of them.”

Grim looked surprised. “You’ll have to tell us all about it, and also, why you’re here in Israel. But first, my mate and I need to clean up a bit. We went for a run. Perhaps you and I can go later tonight and discuss some things.”

“That sounds good,” Severus agreed.

When Grim and his mate returned from their room, Severus’ mom was just pouring tea for them as well. After she made sure everyone cup was full she sat down and waited for Severus to speak.

“Mother, Grim, this is my mate Remus. He is a werewolf. We have another mate, but she is still quite young.”

Grim spoke, “Remus, welcome to our family. We are glad that Severus has found someone to love and one who loves him in return.” He turned his attention to his brother. “But Severus, how young is your other mate?”

“She is thirteen now. She has four years before she is of legal age to claim.”

Syndyl looked confused, “But surely you can mark her. My sister was marked by her mate when she was twelve. There is nothing sexual in it at all, so it’s not illegal.”

Remus spoke up then, “You are correct Syndyl. In most cases we would be able to mark our mate. We would be more in tune to her and be able to protect her better, but you see, she is a muggle born witch. She knows nothing of wizarding relationships letting alone were relationships. I am sure her parents wouldn’t be too happy about it either, if they knew.”

Syndyl looked from Remus to Severus and back to Remus again. “Doesn’t that make it very hard on you both? If you marked her, some of the tension and worry would be taken away. You can’t speak to her and teach her about her future at all, like a where usually would with such a young mate. You can’t seek comfort from her or give comfort to her.”

Severus smiled at Syndyl, “I can tell you are worried for us, and I thank you for that. It will be hard on us, but we have waited this long, I know we have the patience to wait longer. It is true that since we can’t mark her, we won’t have the benefit of knowing she is ours, though we know it in our minds. Damn chemicals anyway. But I am her professor, I get to see her every day, and that calms me somewhat now. I find that amusing, because I was worried about seeing her every day at first. I thought it would make it worse on me, when it has only been better.”

Remus added in, “You were wrong about the mark not being sexual though. I am not talking about the marking of a young mate being sexual, but the marking does ease the need to claim our mate. With many weres having mates younger than they are, the mark helps. I am sure as Hermione ages and grows into a desirable young woman, it will become more difficult for us. Especially when boys start showing an interest in her.”

Severus scowled at Remus, “Did you have to mention that?!”

“Yes, I did. It will happen you know.”

“I know, but I was trying not to think about it, you wolf,” Severus replied in an irate voice.

Eileen, knowing how possessive Pantera could be, and how much more than that, her son could be changed the subject. “Severus, I am sure you weren’t here to discuss your young mate. What has brought you and Remus here?”

Severus took in a deep breath and turned toward his brother, “Grimrin, I need to travel to the 777^th dimension.”

Grimrin studied his brother carefully with knowing eyes. “You are going to finally face your past.”

He nodded.

“What brought this on?” Grim questioned.

Remus about snorted his mouthful of tea out his nose, Syndyl looked at him oddly, and Remus just grinned.

Severus cleared his throat and his eyes shifted.

His mother seeing this raised her eyebrows, curious as what he was about to tell them.

“Our mate happens to be good friends with Harry Potter, James’ and Lily’s son. I was treating him worse than all the other students, because of how his father treated me in the past. He looks so much like his father, though he has his mother’s eyes. She uh.. told me off, said I was being immature and that I shouldn’t take my hate for Harry’s father out on Harry.”

Grim stared at his brother absolutely dumbfounded. “You let your mate disrespect you?!” he inquired in a highly astonishing voice. “Not only your mate, but your mate who is still a child?!”

Remus stared into his half empty cup of tea, still grinning.

Eileen, though showing no expression on her face, was cheering on Hermione in her mind. She also was a bit shocked at the disrespect Hermione had shown her Professor. She didn’t think about the mate part as Hermione didn’t know about this yet. For if she was not a witch born of a muggle family and had been raised in the wizarding world, she would know that her future mates had the right to take her over their knee, no matter what her age. Disrespect was not tolerated. Still, she happened to agree with Hermione about this, and it seemed it was a good thing his and Remus’ mate had spoken out of turn. She held out hope for her son and now Eileen really wanted to meet this mate of theirs.

Syndyl was wide eyed. She would never think of doing something like that to her mate. But then again, Hermione didn’t have a clue about Severus or Remus. So, she could forgive the girl for that mistake.

Grim shook his head. “Wow. I am astonished that you let her get away with it,” he started out, but then became quiet when he saw Severus face. “You didn’t let her get away with it,” he figured out.

Severus looked uncomfortable, “I was rather… cruel. I didn’t discipline her at that point. She actually still has that coming. But what I did was wrong. I yelled at her and told her that I didn’t want to see her face again.”

Grim understood, “It was one thing for her to disrespect you, but that’s not why you yelled at her. You were angry because she spoke the truth, and you knew it.”

Severus remained silent.

Grim began to chuckle quietly, and it grew louder until it became a full blown laugh. He was turning red in the face and his mate just stared at him.

Remus grin only grew wider, he wouldn’t tell Severus this, but their girl made him proud. She was already starting to change Severus for the better, and not because she could make him to change or force him to change, but because Severus wanted to change for her. He couldn’t be happier.

“I must say Severus,” Grim said, tears leaking out of his eyes from laughing. I can’t wait to meet your young mate. It sounds like she is a stubborn little thing and will keep you on your toes.”

Remus commented, “She speaks her mind too, though before she thinks about if it is a good idea or not. I have a feeling she will be getting disciplined quite a bit in the future.”

Severus rolled his eyes. The conversation switched other topics and they enjoyed the rest of the day together.

Later on that night, Syndyl went to go visit her sister while Severus and his brother went for a run in their Pantera forms.

Remus and Severus’ mother stayed at the house and were relaxing in the living room. Eileen was knitting a blanket and Remus was getting ready to open a book when Eileen spoke.

“You are good for him. I can tell he loves you,” she said.

Remus smiled, “He is good for me too. I am glad we’re together. It wasn’t easy at first. I was friends with those he hated. I admit that James and Sirius were bullies, and though I didn’t bully Severus, I didn’t stop it either.”

Eileen studied Remus, “Severus talked about you a lot you know.”

Surprised, Remus looked up, “He did?”

She nodded. “He always described how handsome you were, and that you were loyal and good to your friends. He said you were never mean to him at all, that you weren’t mean to anybody. He noticed your good heart and how different it was from those other boys that you hung out with.”

“If I had a good heart I would have done something. As it was I didn’t do anything until after I was bitten by Greyback and became a werewolf. I didn’t do anything until I knew that we were meant to be mates. Severus knew it also, and every time he looked at me with reproachful eyes my heart would break. I was saddened that I hadn’t looked after him.”

“To be fair,” Eileen informed Remus, “you didn’t know until after you became a werewolf. If you hadn’t been bitten, you still wouldn’t have known. You would have only found out if Severus’ pursued you, and I am not sure that he would have, so it happened just as fate had planned.”

There were a few moments of quiet when Eileen questioned. “Has Severus ever told you about his life growing up?”

“No, but I am sure it wasn’t a good one. I am a patient man and when he is ready to tell me, I will be ready to listen.”

“I don’t think you will have to wait that much longer,” Eileen said knowingly.

The rest of the evening was quiet as Severus’ mother and mate reflected on their thoughts.
