Severus sighed deeply as he rose out of the water. He ran both of his hands through his wet hair flipping it back and smoothing it over his head. He exited the bath, half wake he wrapped a towel around his waist and headed out the door, not registering the fact he was not in his room. He stopped when he saw two half open green eyes looking at him over a pillow.

The potions master made sure he had a good grip on his towel as he looked at Harry. "Good morning."

Harry's eyes opened more, and he blushed softly, but didn't pull his gaze away from Severus, watching droplets of water slip down the man's torso, down into the edge of the towel. Realizing where hsi eyes were headed he quickly drew them back up to Sev's face. "M-morning, Sev... Did you sleep well?"

"I did...excuse me for a moment Harry." Severus back into the bathroom, closing the door and reaching for his wand. He cast a quick charm summoning some of his clothing. The potions master shook his head cursing himself. It didn't seem that Harry was too upset by the current predicament.

Severus stood tall adjusting his robes then exited the bathroom again...much more prepared for Harry. "I apologize I did not mean to..." He coughed trying to start again. "I forgot that I was not in my own rooms, I hope that i did not embarrass you Harry." The dark clothed man stood tall clearly uncomfortable with the situation.

"Would you like to freshen up and I will check on..." Severus suddenly realized that Draco was not in the bed. He was annoyed and worried at first, then he realized where the boy must have gone. He sat by Harry's side giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "I need to check on Draco. I'll be right back."

He gave Harry another kiss before leaving the room and heading towards Remus'.
-------
Draco could have purred at how warm and comfortable he was. He was sure his mother had the elves coming to get him in a moment. He buried himself deeper into the warm, then suddenly realized that he wasn't in his regular bed and he wasn't alone. He froze whimpering.

He was still to asleep to process anything and immediately pushed against the arms around him. "No...NO!"

Harry was about to stop Severus from leaving, but the man left before he had the chance to do more than return the kiss. He sat there, pouting for a moment, before getting up and heading to the bathroom, grabbing a change of clothing for the day. He started water for a shower and locked the bathroom door, then stripped off his pajamas and got in, tensing briefly before relaxing under the hot spray.

Remus furrowed his brow slightly when Draco fought against him. Releasing the boy, he scotted back a little to the far edge of the bed. Giving the boy a moment, he slowly reached out to Draco, trailing his fingers along the teens cheek. "Draco, pup... you're safe. I'm not going to hurt you, Draco..." He said, slowly inching closer to the boy again once he'd seemed to calm a little. Pulling Draco close, he sat up, keeping a tight hold on him. "Shh... I won't hurt you, pup." He said, feeling the boy start to struggle again, loosened his hold just slightly so Draco could pull away again if he so wanted. He'd seen those turned by Greyback in such states, after being ... used, by him and the other wolves that served Voldemort. "You are safe now..."

Draco took a deep breath finally having the words sink in. He stopped struggling and leaned into the touch. The blond whimpered clutching the other wolf. He started to sob into Remus' chest holding tightly. "I'm sorry Remus."

It was at that moment Severus came through the door not bothering to knock at the sound of his godson's whimpers. His temper was already ignited when he came through the door, but he stopped when he saw the boy curled up against Remus. The potions master immediately calmed himself. "Draco..."

The blond poked his head up and at the sight of his godfather launched himself out of the bed. "I-I-I...I got scared...I-I didn't want to wake you. I felt that I should go to Remus."

Severus held up a hand to stop the chatter. "It's fine Draco...Remus will understand better than any of us what you are going through. But if you need me at anytime you can come and get me. Remus, It seems that I owe you my thanks. The elves will be bring breakfast shortly, if you would like to join Harry and I."

"Thank you Godfather." Draco nodded and then scooted back into the bed and Remus' arms. Severus returned the nod and exited the room knowing his godson was in good hands. Remus wouldn't take it too far. He returned to the living room and ordered breakfast for the four of them.

Remus smiled a little at the Potion Master's words. "No need to thank me, Severus. I only did what was right..." He said softly, taking Draco back into his arms, rubbing the boy's back softly. "I'll be here for you as long as you need me, Draco. I'm not going to leave you, nor shall I ever hurt you, or allow anyone else to do so, ever again..." He told the boy.

Draco buried his head in Remus' chest. "Thank you Prof. Lupin." He rested his head on the toned chest. The blond took a deep breath, then got up to get dressed. The were made his feel safe and comforted, but he was still dealing with the effects of his situation. "I need to get dressed, excuse me."

He made sure he had his wand then raced out of the room to get dressed.
----------------
Severus had transfigured a table for breakfast having the elves bring more than enough for the four men. Once that was set he looked into his cabinet and pulled out two vials of wolfsbane. He wanted to get Draco started on a low dose, the first change was always the most brutal, and the wolfsbane would help the boy.

The potion's master poured two cups of the strong brew. He looked up to see his flustered godson enter the room. "Draco?"

Draco had rushed out of the room, into the main room of Severus' private quarters, his hair still a mess and still in his pajamas, not having a change of clothes with him. "Morning Sev..." He said softly, a faint blush rising to his cheeks, remembering that just moments ago his godfather had walked in on him and Remus in bed together. Not that they'd been doing anything inappropriate- no, far from it. It was still rather embarrassing for him to have had Sev see him so insecure, despite the man being like a second father to him, one he could be far more open with than his real one. "Um... y-you wouldn't happen to have an extra set of clothing laying about, would you? I feel a little... under dressed, in just my pajamas..."

Severus looked up at his blushing godson. "Good morning Draco" He turned back to fixing the table and food. The potion's master knew that looking at the blond and bring up the state he found the boy and the werewolf in, would only embarrass the boy further. Wiping his hands on a towel, Severus made his way to his bedroom stopping at the door and turning to Draco.

"Follow me I will have to spell some of my clothing to fit you."

Draco nodded and followed the man, fiddling slightly with the hem of his pajama top as he entered Severus' bedroom, watching him as he looked for something for the blond to wear.

Severus pulled out a green t-shirt he had never worn. A gift from one of his students, foolish child. He also found a smaller pair of jeans as well. "These should work." He murmured a few words over the fabric shrinking it to fit his godson.

He handed the garments to the younger man. Stopping he held onto one of the boy's hands. "Is there anything else I can get you Draco, anything at all?"

Draco thought a moment, then shook his head, moving closer to Severus, head resting against the man's shoulder. "Not unless you have a time turner, and a way to defeat Greyback and his wolves, as well as Rabastian and Rodolphus, Burke, and the Prewitt boys... and a handful of his other followers..." He said softly with a small whimper, dropping the clothing to wrap his arms around Severus, needing his godfather's comfort. "I want back everything they stole from me..."

Severus took his god son in his arms, tucking the boy under his chin. "Draco we cannot change the past, believe me. All we can only learn to move forward, to find things in this life to live. Think of Remus, he will love you and care for you, as much as I do. Even more."

He pulled back putting his hands on Draco's shoulders, "One day it will not hurt so much I promise." The potions master cupped his pale cheek. "Until that day and even after I will be here to help you."

Draco nodded slightly, leaning into his godfather's touch. "A-alright, Sev... Thank you..." He said softly.

-

Harry had gotten out of the shower and dressed, coming from his room just in time to see Severus comforting Draco. He smiled softly and leaned against the doorway, watching the two Slytherins. He remained quiet, not wanting to interrupt the moment between the two.

Severus kissed the top of the boy's head smoothing down his hair. "Now go get dressed and then we'll eat." Draco nodded gathering his clothes and heading to the bathroom.

The potions master looked to the doorway and gave a small smile at the sight of his bond mate. "Good Morning Harry." He stood straight arms behind his back. A light filled his heart at the sight of the smiling young man. "Did you sleep well?"

Harry nodded slightly. "Yeah... until someone decided to leave, and I couldn't fall back to sleep..." He said, heading to Severus, and wrapped his arms around the man, leaning up to give him a small kiss. "What about you, love?"

Severus returned the peck on the lips, smiling. "I slept rather well, though my morning routine deemed it time for me to get up whether I wanted to or not." He kissed the top of Harry's head and held him close. His large nose settled on top of Harry's hair, absorbing the wonderful sent warm bond mate.

He pulled back slightly so he could look in the younger man's eyes. Severus was noticing more and more that Harry's green had little characteristics unique to the younger wizard. He loved that he could see small flecks of gold near the center of the iris, or the darker green near the edge. "I wanted to take you and Draco to Diagon Alley today. You both need clothing and a few other things."

Severus wanted to look at rings for his bond mate and himself. Now that they were bound he wanted to make it official. He smiled again before pulling Harry up for a gentle kiss. "Oh would you too get a room...."

The potion's master turned at the sound of his Godson's voice. The blond had a smile on his face and quickly left the room before either man could get another word in edge wise. Severus shook his head and gave Harry another kiss.

"Should we join him for breakfast?" He offered his arm to his bond mate.

"Before he and Remus eat everything? Sure... And I think going shopping is a wonderful idea, Sev... are you sure Draco's ready to be around so many people, though?" He asked quietly, taking Sev's arm as they headed to the dining area, where both Draco and Remus were already situated, and had started serving themselves.

"I don't know, we'll ask him." Severus marveled at the warmth and love in the gesture of Harry taking his arm. The potion's master gave Remus a polite nod of morning, before pulling out Harry's seat for him. He sat down next to the younger man and poured him a tall glass of milk. Harry was still much too skinny and the milk would help with his still growing bones.

He hoped that with the right about of care the younger man would be healthy in no time. His godson would take more time though. The boy was very thin, and was pushing most of his food around his plate. "Draco, I was hoping to take Harry and you shopping today. We could start at Hogsmede today and work up to Diagon Alley when you're ready. Remus is of course more than welcome to come with us." Severus finished serving Harry then himself as he spoke.

Draco looked up for a moment. "I would like a trip to Diagon Alley, but only if Remus is coming too." The blond looked up expectantly at the other wolf.

"I would love to go with you, Draco." Remus said, smiling softly at the blond.

Harry smiled as he was served, rolling his eyes a bit. He was glad that Remus agreed- while he did not doubt that Severus could protect him and Draco, he felt safer with both the older wizards around.

"Good! We'll leave after breakfast. I know a simple spell that will alter our features enough so we won't be recognized. Harry I trust you and Draco both have your keys to your vaults?"

Draco nodded. He had kept his key with Severus at Hogwarts, just encase anything was to happen to him.

Harry nodded as well, and began eating once everyone was served.

((Rue, hey, what's going on? You've failed to post for the last week... are you okay?))

They finished their meal quickly. Severus got rid of all the dirty dishes with a flick of his wand then headed to his room. Grabbing his large robes he came back out to the living room. Draco was standing nervously, but when Remus came back into the room the boy immediately stopped fidgeting looking much better.

Severus smiled to himself, good...the boy need more than just him in his corner. He moved over to the boy handing him the his key. "There you go Draco. We'll have to use the disguises until we reach Gringotts, then when go back out to the shops. I have already messaged Griphook. He was willing to help us protect your anonymity."

Taking his wand he tapped his own head letting the spell wash over him. It ran down his back with a cool burning feeling. Outwardly Severus had changed into a average looking man with cropped brown hair and brown eyes, completely unremarkable. He tapped his wand onto Draco's head next turning the boy into a more plain looking blond. After he tapped Harry's head the boy's shaggy brown hair was the same, but shorter and his glasses and scar were gone.

"Remus? Do you mind?" Severus asked the wolf. Remus shook his head, and after he looked the mirror image of himself without the scars and black hair. "Alright, lets get going." He grabbed a handful of floo powder and stepped through to Diagon Ally.

Once glamoured, Harry followed after Severus through the floo to Diagon Alley, Remus and Draco coming through moments after he regained his footing. He looked around a moment, and spotted Severus just a few steps away, and went over to him.
