Description
Severus Snape still sat down stairs tending to Draco's severe injuries, he had him bound tightly with some heavy restraints.

Draco still hadn't woken up from Nymphadora's stunning spell, he was quite surprised to that she had managed to effect him with such a simple spell, he came to the conclusion that she had used a lot of force behind it.

Snape was halfway done cleaning Draco's throat when Draco stirred and the chains rattled as he started to wake.

Snape hurried over to the box he had brought with him and pulled out a black colored potion, he had made this potion especially for subduing werewolves, it was a strong sleeping potion mixed with silver powder so it would be effective on Draco since everyone knew werewolves were vulnerable to silver, then he hurried over to the still weakened giant wolf whose eyes had started to open, and held it in front of his muzzle so he'd breathe it in.

Draco caught hold of the scent of the potion and his eyes started to droop as his head snapped downward so his long muzzle was almost touching his collar bone.

Draco let out a long exhale through his nose making the air come out with a rushing sound as he completely fell unconscious, Snape then heard a soft voice from behind him.

"Is mister Malfoy okay? He looks like he may have a few Wrackspurts in his head." Snape jumped slightly as he recognized the voice as Luna Lovegood.

"Yes miss Lovegood...I believe he will be just fine..." Snape said. Then there was a long pause before the potions teacher spoke again. "You shouldn't be down here. Mrs. Weasley would have a fit if she found out I let you down into the basement after I promised not to let any of you down here."

"Oh, well I just wanted to see how Draco was doing." She said as she walked over to Snape and Draco's large, silver, and furry figure.

"Can I touch him?" Luna asked suddenly.

Snape raised an eyebrow at her odd question, before looking at Draco's face to make sure he was really asleep, he appeared to be, but he wasn't sure he waved a hand in front of Draco's eyes and was relieved when he got no response from the large silver wolf, he was convinced now that he was asleep so he gave her a nod to the young blond haired girl.

Luna tucked her blond hair behind her ear and ran her fingers through the silver fur in between Draco's pointed ears that lay on top of his head, since that specific part wasn't stained with his crimson colored blood. She then looked at his teeth which were visible since his mouth was slightly open as he was breathing out of it while he was sleeping.

"His teeth are quite massive." Luna stated.

Snape only nodded in reply before answering her. "Werewolf teeth are very large and sharp so that they can tear away flesh from bones or crack bones with their teeth. That is why most people don't survive werewolf bites, but they can survive the scratches. It's what makes them so dangerous, plus the fact that they can run up to 60 miles per hour if they wanted."

"May I stay down here professor? There's only three more hours til the sun rises. I can help you if you want." Luna asked.

Snape thought for a moment, he had to admit deep inside he had come to adore miss Lovegood and her wacky stories as well as that innocent personality, and he had to agree that she was the right person for Draco.

"I guess that would be alright, but if I have to run upstairs to get something you are to follow me. I don't want him biting anyone if he were to get loose. The outcome might be disastrous." Snape said.

Luna gave a nod in response as Snape pulled out a vial of a blue potion and tilted Draco's head up by grasping hold of his long muzzle and he dripped some of the potion into the deep bite marks in Draco's neck.

Draco's eyes remained close but small howling whimpers came from him as the blue potion stung the inside of the wounds.

Once Snape was done and the wounds started to heal themselves leaving dark scars over the old ones.

Snape looked at Luna and began to speak, "Miss Lovegood...could you hold him forward for me. I need to work on his back."

Luna gave a nod, and with much difficulty managed to push Draco up into a sitting position but enough that the chains would still help prevent him from attacking.

Snape dripped some more of the potion into the injuries on his back and they started to heal as well, once they were done Snape gave Luna the okay to set him back against the wall.

Luna stayed with Snape and Draco for the rest of the night until finely sunlight peaked in from the one window in the basement and Draco's form shrunk down to its regular size and the fur disappeared as his skeleton and muscles retracted back to normal.

Snape grabbed one of the blankets he had bought down and covered Draco's body with it.

"I think its best to let him sleep now professor. " Luna stated.

"I believe you are correct miss Lovegood." Snape responded, the door to the basement opened and Arthur Weasley stood there looking down the steps as he spotted Luna and Snape with Draco.

"Luna? We've been looking for you. I thought Molly said for none of you to come down here? Shes practically throwing a fit." Mr. Weasley said.

"I'm watching her." Snape reassured.

The sound of chains clanking together could be heard as Draco stirred and let out a low moan while he shifted into a different position.

Luna kneeled beside Draco and put a gentle hand on his cheek.

"Well, come down for breakfast when you're ready." Mr. Weasley said.

Snape gave a nod and looked at Luna. "Why don't you go get something to eat miss Lovegood? I'll finish up here."

"Oh, no thank you professor Snape. I'm not hungry. Is it alright if I stay here?" She asked as she watched Snape unchain Draco from the wall.

"That's fine, but could you step out for a second so I can get some clothes on him?" Snape asked.

Luna nodded and skipped her way out of the room before walking up the stairs.

~The Burrow (Basement)~

Snape had gotten done working on Draco an hour ago, and now Luna and Draco lay down on the blankets on the floor both sleeping soundly.

Draco's eyes opened however when he felt movement beside him, he sat up and looked down upon noticing he wasn't wearing a shirt only his pants but he had white bandages wrapped around his whole upper body and neck in two layers, he now noticed the pain in his back and he let out a small hiss.

Draco looked down beside him and to his surprise saw Luna lying beside him sleeping.

Draco decided to lay back down and get a little more sleep before going upstairs. He realized he must be in the Weasley's basement because it smell musky and the dampness of the air proved as much.

He lay back down beside her, his front facing her back slowly with a shaking arm he wrapped it around her shoulders and closed his eyes.

Luna let out a small sigh and Draco smiled, as he opened his eyes and gently laid a kiss to the back of her neck, then he closed his eyes once more and fell asleep.

The door opened and Snape poked his head into the room to check on the his godson and miss Lovegood, he noticed they were sleeping so he let out a sigh and closed the door once again.

. . . . .

Luna woke up with a soft yawn she felt better now that she had finely got some rest, she looked behind her at Draco over her shoulder and saw him close to her his arm stretched out around her shoulders.

'So that's why I didn't get cold.' Luna thought to hserself.

"You okay?" Draco's voice suddenly spoke startling her since she thought he was asleep.

"Yes. What about you though, you got in a pretty good fight with another werewolf last night." She said eying his bandaged neck.

The door opened and Harry looked into the room.

"Hey, Malfoy. You're wanted upstairs its almost lunch time." He said softly.

Draco sent Harry a glare. "Merlin Potter! Don't you know how to knock!"

Harry just rolled his eyes and turned as he walked back up the stairs.

Luna watched as Draco let out a sigh and sat up, letting out a grunt of either pain or discomfort.

"Are you sure you're okay Draco?" She asked.

Draco was getting irritated, he was sore, hungry, and his mood was changing quickly, he looked at her with a scowl before replying in a harsh tone; "I'm fine."

Luna either didn't notice the coldness in his voice or didn't mind because she didn't seem hurt or angry.

Draco slowly got to his feet and stood for a few minutes trying to steady himself, his legs trembled violently and Luna sat up and got to her feet after letting out a small yawn then stretched her arms before walking over to her boyfriend.

She took him by the arm and slowly they walked up the stairs and into the Weasley's dining room, where they found Harry, Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Mad-Eye, Snape, Bill, and to Draco's surprise Dumbledore sitting at the table.

They stopped at the doorway and listened since no one seemed to notice them yet.

Sirius and Snape seemed to be talking and their voices were get louder until finely Snape shot up out of his chair, making the wooden chair scrape on the wood floor and then fall with a loud clatter.

He stared at Sirius with a death glare on his face. "You, do not tell me what to do Black. I am well aware of the situation and I will handle it."

"I am not telling you what to do Snape, I am just simply saying that Draco can not handle being alone anymore. You need to be there for him. It'd be best you didn't leave on this mission at all." Sirius said his voice low and calm as he tried to convince that he wasn't against Snape, but it failed as Severus pulled out his wand and aimed it at the man.

Harry glared at the other black haired wizard and pulled out his wand pointing it at Snape with a look of anger on his face getting ready to defend his godfather if he needed to, but Sirius rested his hand on top of Harry's hand which was holding his wand, and gently pressed down so that Harry's wand was lowered.

"It's alright Harry..." Sirius said and gave his godson a reassuring look, before looking back at Snape and narrowing his eyes and speaking calmly.

"You have something to say Snape?" he questioned.

Snape's eyes flared angrily as his wand glowed slightly at the tip. "You, do not tell me what is best for Draco! You, Black are not mister Malfoy's guardian that is my job. It is your job to be the sniveling coward you are."

Sirius quickly stood up from his chair the table jerking slightly as his legs hit the table, he glared at Snape with not a look of blood-lust but a more defensive look, he was about to speak when Harry beat him to it.

"Do not call him a coward! If anyone's the coward its you! You keep leaving him! I may not like Malfoy but I can clearly see that he is not taking lightly to this. You keep running away from your problems!" he said trying to defend his godfather but Sirius looked at him.

"Quiet Harry." he said softly and looked back at Severus with a hateful glare.

"Do NOT accuse me of such things Snape. Whether you like it or not I am related to Draco and I will try to help him if he needs it." Sirius said, knowing perfectly well that he was pushing Snape's limits.

"I am not letting him stay with you Black, he will be staying with someone other than you. If no one will take him then I will let him live in my home. But he will not be staying with you." Snape said in an irritated tone.

Sirius sent a glare at Snape and stepped forward so he was right in front of the potions master with the man's wand to his throat.

"You, are jealous Snape and you are angry...you are hateful towards me, Remus, and Harry just because of what James, Peter, Remus, and I did you in school. You are scared because you do not know how to handle the situation, so you are running away from it-" Sirius said poking Snape in the chest harshly with his index finger.

"Sirius! That is enough. Don't be a fool!" Lupin snarled, trying to get his old time friend to calm down so he wouldn't raise the other man's short-temper any higher.

"No Remus! He needs to realize the fact that he can't treat people in such ways, he needs to learn that other people have feelings! He needs to learn to get over this hate he feels towards us." Sirius said staring strait into Snape's dark eyes while he said this.

Snape snarled in anger at Sirius and he pressed his wand into the center of Black's throat.

"Black, you best watch your words. I have my limits." he threatened.

"No! I won't watch what I say, you are acting like a scared dog with its tail between its legs, your scared to deal with the problems he is going through, and your anger towards Lucius is getting worse and worse. You keep feeling such anger and hate, and I'm afraid that if you keep it up you are going to either accidentally hurt Draco or badly frighten him!" Sirius yelled.

That was the snapping point for Snape and he lifted his hand before punching Sirius right in the face causing Sirius to fall back, and Bill and Mad-Eye to hurry and aim their wands at him, but Snape lowered his showing that he wasn't going to hurt Sirius further.

"I am nothing like that man! That man has caused that boy so much pain and hurt, he beat Draco with a belt whenever he did something wrong, when he was angry, or if he was just bored, he disowned him! I am not like him! I wouldn't leave Draco alone to fend for himself. I would never hurt him. I would never do anything to try and hurt him. I would give my life to protect him. How dare you even compare him to me!" Snape snarled his voice risen to a higher point than any of them in the room had ever heard before.

Sirius looked up at him wiping the blood from his mouth on the back of his hand.

"There's the proof right there Snape..." He said with a hint of smartness in his tone as he tried to prove his point.

"How dare you!" Severus growled and aimed his wand once again before Dumbledore stepped into the conversation.

"Both of you ENOUGH!" he said. Sirius and Snape looked at the old wizard, who looked at them disapprovingly.

Mad-Eye suddenly caught sight of the two young adolescents in the doorway, before clearing his throat. "I believe this conversation is no longer between our circle."

Draco backed up a little as all eyes turned to him and Luna including Snape's, at this Draco started to tremble and Luna looked at him with her usual daydreaming look but if one looked deeper into those eyes you could tell she was concerned.

Snape's dark eyes met Draco's gray blue orbs and he was horrified when he saw the look of terror on Draco's face.

"Draco?" Luna asked softly as she shook him gently, he seemed to be in some sort of trance.

Draco stared at the black haired wizard, only what he saw horrified him, he didn't see Snape at all he saw his father standing there holding his cane in one hand and a smirk on his pointed face. Draco could feel someone holding him and shaking him slightly and he jerked away as he saw Lucius' mouth move as if he were talking to him. He saw his father move toward him and he froze as his breathing hitched.

Snape eyed Draco with a worried look and he looked down at his hand and saw Sirius' blood around his bruising knuckle.

"Draco?" Luna said again shaking her boyfriend a little harder, but Draco jerked away from her and backed up against the door frame, his body trembling all over.

"Dragon?" Snape said softly as he tried to walk toward Draco but he let out a scream as tears started to come from his eyes.

"Please father...don't hurt me." Draco sobbed hysterically.

Everyone froze at his words and Sirius sent a nasty look over at Snape who looked horrified.

Draco sank to his knees and Tonks was the first one to make the move she walked forward and wrapped her arms around the shaking boy as Luna and the others watched.

"Shh...cous, he's not here...it's just Snape." She whispered then looked up at Severus with a look of slight annoyance and disgust.

Snape turned on his heel still quite horrified that he had brought up memories of Lucius to Draco's mind and walked out the door quickly.
