Description It had been at least a month since Draco had gotten attacked down by the lake.

Right now Severus was in his office brewing a potion of wolfsbane getting ready for his godson's first transformation. It was only 7:00 in the evening but he was being cautious, since the first full moon for a werewolf was often very painful he was just worried what effect this might have on Draco.

He was told that right now Draco and the rest of the students were at Hogsmead. This somewhat worried him with Draco being so far away from the castle he at least wanted him to be in the castle or somewhere very close to it.

Though Snape had been quite angered today when he had seen Potter's god father, Sirius Black in the castle talking to Lupin.

Evidently Dumbledore had allowed Sirius to visit Harry for the Christmas season. He knew that the Potter boy was really excited to see him again, but Snape had mentally cursed Dumbledore upon seeing Black back in the castle.

None the less Black had tried to be friendly but he and Black just didn't go well together, they almost went together as well as Lupin and himself.

Sirius had learned from Dumbledore about Draco's condition and he had offered help to the potions master if that came down to it, but Severus had snarled viciously, and slammed the door in Black's face.

Severus let out a sigh as he found the potion was halfway only one fourth done, but he kept working on it he wasn't paying attention to the clock and was startled when Lupin and Sirius came into the room dragging a sobbing Draco Malfoy into the room by his arms.

The potions master sent a glare towards Sirius telling him that he was not welcome but tried to keep his temper in check.

"What happened?" He asked the young Malfoy as he kneeled down in front of him.

"I-It hurts! What's wrong with me? Please make it stop Professor...please." Draco sobbed as tears came from his eyes, from the burning pain in his whole body.

Severus walked to the window and looked outside, he frowned when he saw the moon wasn't even out yet, it wouldn't be out for another half hour according to what his clock read.

"Do either of you have any idea what is going on?" He asked as he looked at Draco's eyes which were now dilated.

Lupin was silent but Sirius spoke up.

"I honestly don't know, I was walking with Harry in the middle of Hogsmead when I saw him limping then he let out a loud cry and doubled over clutching his stomach. I told Harry that I'd meet up with him later, and that I needed to see what was wrong. I had walked over to him and he was sweating and panting heavily. Remus then showed up and he said we should take him to you. He believes it might be his transformation starting." Sirius explained as he watched Draco breathe heavily.

"What? But the full moon isn't up yet?" Snape said in slight shock.

"This happened to me on my first transformation. It started early, I've read up on werewolf transformations a while ago and read that three out of five newly bitten werewolves on their first transformation, transform a little earlier then they do later on after their second time transforming. We don't have time to wait for the wolfsbane potion to be finished. We have to get him under control before the transformation completes itself, we don't have much time either. I have to leave in fifteen minutes to take my potion. But I can stay and help you as can Sirius." Lupin explained.

Severus glared at the two men. "Fine, what do you recommend I do then Lupin?" he asked.

Sirius and Lupin looked at each other uncomfortably for a second, both knowing that the potions master wouldn't like the best idea they had, and most of the time worked.

"Secure him to the wall..." Sirius said firmly.

Severus got a look of fury on his face as he bared his teeth into an angry snarl. "You want me to treat him like an animal!" He yelled.

Sirius took a step forward with a sharp cold look on his face. "Would you rather we lock him in a cage? Me, James, and Peter all had to deal with this sort of stuff with Remus when he would transform. I know what to do Severus so don't think you know everything in a situation like this." he snapped angrily.

"Besides it be best we restrain him so he can't hurt anyone or himself." Lupin added.

Professor Snape glared at them both with hate filled eyes, how dare Black try to order him around and now Lupin was doing the same, but he had to admit that wasn't a bad idea and he didn't want to end up hurting his favorite student by accident if he were to attack someone.

He would feel awful if that happened and he would never forgive himself if he hurt Draco severely.

Draco suddenly let out a loud cry and started sobbing hysterically. "Merlin, it hurts! I-I'm dying aren't I?"

Lupin walked over to the kneeling boy and shushed him. "No, you're not dying...and I know it hurts...but hang in there it should be over in a few hours, you can hold on that long...I know you can." Remus said and smiled weakly at him when he saw Draco nod.

Severus looked at Draco and pulled him up by his arms.

"Draco come sit against this wall...it'll be okay...trust me." He said as gently as he could.

Draco stumbled a little but managed to walk over to the wall that was opposite from the bed, where he rested his head against the wall and tried to calm down and ease the pain. After six minutes of listening to Draco's soft whimpers Draco suddenly let out a loud scream of agony.

Severus, Sirius and Remus looked at Draco and watched in surprise as his fingernails turned black and started to grow out into sharp claws.

"Severus quickly its taking effect faster now...go get something that will hold him." Lupin said.

Severus hurried to the cupboard and grabbed two leather belt resembling restraints and then quickly walked back over to Lupin and Black who were holding Draco firmly against the stone wall.

Draco's figure started to double in size and his shirt ripped and fell off his body as did his pants, his clawed feet tore the shoes he had been wearing apart completely. Silver fur started to grow all over Draco's now naked body and his face started to change as well as it started to go outward until it took the shape of a wolf resembling head, and a long tail now hung limply behind him on his lower half.

"Hurry Severus! We can't keep holding him!" Sirius exclaimed.

Snape quickly grabbed one of the large paws and wrapped one of the leather restraints around his wrist and then attached it to a hook on the wall, he did the same with the other wrist and Sirius and Lupin stepped back away from Draco as he suddenly tried to jerk forward and bite them but the restraints pulled him back.

Severus watched this with horror he had known this was going to happen but he had to admit he wasn't ready to see it happen. His eyes were a magnificent blue and his fur was bright silver color.

Draco struggled viciously in his newly transformed state letting out angry snarls and howls as he tried to get to the people who had immobilized him.

There was a knock on the door and suddenly Harry walked in but froze when he saw the restrained werewolf in the room, which he figured was Malfoy.

"Professor Snape...Dumbledore wants to talk to you." He said softly.

Severus glared at Harry and pointed towards the door telling him to get out.

"Black I want you to watch him...Lupin if you have to go then go." Snape said sharply. Lupin nodded and walked out the door with Harry.

"I'll keep an eye on him Severus, go see what the headmaster wants." Sirius said softly.

Snape nodded and quickly walked out the door.
