Description Draco glared at Snape coldly. "I don't want to be here! Let me leave! You don't own me!"

"I know Draco, I know...and I'm sorry we acted as if we thought you were, you are not someone's property Draco, you and me both know that. I don't know what has gotten into your father, I believe he is just scared. Either for his life or your own. He wants to take you with him and move somewhere else. So I have a question. Do you want to leave, you have gone down a rough road and it has been hard for you, so I ask you now. Do you want to leave, I doubt your father would allow miss Lovegood to come with you, and I know how much you care for her Draco." Snape said quietly.

"No! I don't want to leave, but you're treating me like I'm some sort of creature!" Draco cried in disgust.

"I apologize Draco, we never should have said what we did. I promise it won't happen again."

"He threatened to hit me." he whispered.

"Yes...and I will have a talk to him about that. I will be the one to discipline you not him, but I promise never to hit you, or hurt you in any way." Snape said in a firm voice.

"What day is it?" Draco asked suddenly.

"It's the fourteenth. Exactly a week till the full moon." came his reply.

Draco gave a nod and then walked out to go find Luna, Snape wandered out of the room as well and found Lucius in a different room, he turned on his heel quickly and locked the door behind him leaving him and the other man the only adults and people in the room.

"How dare you! How dare you threaten him in my house, if there is going to be one rule in this house it is to be that you are not to discipline him! That will be my job!" Snape snarled pushing Lucius up against the wall.

"Then discipline him Severus! How can you let him talk to me or you!" Lucius stopped when Severus pushed the tip of his wand into his throat.

"He is still scared of you Lucius, if we don't control our anger it will do us no good in progressing forward with Draco. It is prudent that we keep our tempers in check, just to be on the safe side." Snape said in dangerously low voice.

Lucius pushed the black haired man off of him and sneered. "That is the dumbest excuse I have heard of, even Draco thought up better excuses!"

Snape's eyes lowered to a dangerous piercing glare.

"What was that? Was that another threat?" he said aiming his wand at Lucius once again.

"Two can play at this game Severus..." the blond snarled.

"I am not trying to fool or make this a game for no one. I am being quite Lucius. He cannot handle such stress. He can barely keep his own temper in check. I'm surprised that he listens to miss Lovegood like he does, he really does love her." Severus lowered his voice.

"I am no fool Severus I-"

Lucius was interrupted by the door knob turning and trying to open but when it wouldn't open someone knocked.

"Oi, Snape I came for a visit! We promised Luna we would visit every now and then. Harry, Ron, Sirius, and me are here. Though I did promise Draco I would come, hes not too thrilled about Harry and Ron, Sirius...I dunno how he feels about though. But then again that's common Draco for you" Came the chipper voice of Nymphadora Tonks.

Severus flushed slightly but it went away quickly. Lucius smirked upon seeing this.

"Looks like someone's got feeling for someone as well..." Lucius said and walked to the door.

"Snape? Sev? Severus! You in there." Came Tonks' impatient voice, Lucius unlocked the door and opened it and stepped aside so she could walk in.

When she saw Snape standing there and she smiled happily walking over to him and wrapped her arms around him making him roll his eyes without her knowing.

"Come on Sev, let's go outside and see everybody!" She said pulling him by the hand out the door.

"If I may, I do not do well with crowds of people I dislike. Especially one like Black." Snape muttered.

"Yeah well too bad, my cous was asking for you anyways." Severus rolled his eyes once more pulled his hand free and walked out the front door of his house and into the front yard.

He was greeted by two hippogriffs, the people Nymphadora had said had come, and Draco and Luna. Only Draco looked like he wanted to take Potter's head off.

"You...came on those?" Snape said quietly as he looked at the silvery gray hippogriff and then the brown multi-colored one.

"Yes. Harry rode with me and Ron rode with Dora." Sirius said solemnly, he could tell that he wasn't invited here but he was going to keep his promise to Luna, since Harry had asked him to.

Severus rolled his eyes again, and somone else spoke. "Hey its almost time for lunch! Can I cook Sev? Please can I cook?" Nymphadora said, sounding like a little girl getting a kitten for Christmas. Snape raised an eyebrow while Ron and Harry tried to contain their laughter at the look on the ex-potions teacher's face.

"Fine." Snape said a little baffled by the change of mood within the currently dark haired witch.

Nymphadora hurried into the house then poked her head out the door again. "Where's the kitchen?"

At this Harry and Ron couldn't hold in their snickers and giggles anymore so they broke out laughing, earning a dazed look and smile from Luna, a stern look from Sirius, and disgusted and irritated glare, followed by a roll of the eyes from Draco Malfoy.

Snape stood there for a second stunned before pointing to the left. "Through the first doorway on the left." he muttered.

"Harry and Ron...that's enough." Sirius said suddenly.

Harry stopped laughing with a little effort but Ron put more effort into it.

"Blimey, Tonks...she can change moods so quickly, almost as quick as she can change her looks!" Ron said with another snicker.
