Authors Note:

Hello! Happy full moon! This is the first addition to my new multi-chapter story. I think the summary is relatively self explanatory. If this does well, then I'm going out for a Beta. I have no ideas how many chapters this story will have but let's power through!

It's going to start out a bit slow, I guess, a bit. More characters will come in as the story progresses. I haven't decided completely as to what part of canon that I'm going to change (relationship wise). This is centered on Draco (obviously), but it will have other points of view added in (Hermione) later.

PLEASE COMMENT AND REVIEW! This has been my brain child for months, so be gentle!

Chapter 1

Draco was sleeping peacefully in his bed. School had just ended. The Chamber of Secrets had been open during his second year, but that prat Harry Potter closed it again. His father had attempted to follow the Dark Lord's orders, given to him by Quirrell for in case the plan of retrieving the Philosophers stone failed.

Draco was having pleasant dreams. He had won the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup. Hoisted on the shoulders of his fellow housemates as Pansy Parkinson shrieked in delight. Even though he loathed to girl, it was still nice to have her infatuated with him.

Then came the sound of broken glass.

And the red.

So much red.

And screaming.

The howling

And the pain.

Draco opened his eyes to the sight of a werewolf digging its teeth into his shoulder. Draco couldn't stop screaming in pain and fear. In response to the noise, a House Elf apparated to his room, followed closely by Draco's parents.

Without a second thought, the House Elf jumped on the werewolf's back, pounding on it while his father and mother shouted curses at the werewolf their wands pointed.

The house elf was thrown against the wall with a loud thud and didn't move again as the werewolf jumped back through the window.

Draco howled in pain as is mother Narcissa ran to his side. She took him into her arms and held him close, crying with him. His blood was spilling from his shoulder onto her white dressing gown. Narcissa eased off his night shirt to get a better view of the wound.

Lucius approached the window and cast strong spells to prevent a second attack. He then went over and nudged the house elf with his foot. The rest of the house elves stood at the door, peering in with fright.

"Prepare Tilly for burial. Give her full honors for her bravery." Lucius instructed, tears brimming his eyes, threatening to fall.

"Lucius, who do we call? The bleeding won't stop!" Narcissa stammered out, breathing heavily. She attempted to make Draco's tattered night shirt as a bandage to stop the bleeding.

Lucius panicked, his mind went blank. Everything in the world had stopped and he couldn't breath. Then the world came rushing back at him, jolting him into the present.

"Severus. I'll call him right now." He stuttered out,walking over to the fire place in a daze. He threw a handful of Floo Powder into the fireplace. "Severus Snape, we need you right now. Draco has been attacked."

A few minutes later, Severus came from the floo. He was still dressed in his night clothes carrying his potions bag. He rushed over to Draco and gently pushed Narcissa out of the way.

"He needs blood replenishing potion," he said "I don't have any on hand. He has to get to St. Mungos or he will die."

Draco had passed out from the pain and blood loss by this point. There would be no use in trying to wake him back up.

Scooping Draco into his arms, Snape went over to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of floo powder "St. Mungos" he called loud and clear.

Lucius and Narcissa followed.

Lucius approached the desk where the welcome witch sat and quietly whispered, "My son has been bitten by a werewolf. We need a private room."

The welcome witch pointed to the sign. "Creature-Induced Injuries. First Floor. Talk to the Welcome Witch there and they'll give you a private room. I express my sympathy Lucius. Best of luck."

Severus carried Draco to the first floor, hiding his face from everyone's view. The Welcome Witch in that ward got them a private room, and a team of 5 healers came in to inspect Draco. Lucius and Narcissa stood helplessly in the corner, unable to assist, leaving their son in the hand of the Healers.

"Why would this happen?" Narcissa whispered to Lucius. She still couldn't breath calmly, pain racketed through her body. Her inability to stop her child from feeling pain weighed heavy on her.

"Because I failed with the Chamber of Secrets and the resurrection of the Dark Lord. When his followers fail, he sends Fenir Greyback after their children to bite and infect them. We have been punished. I'm so sorry. Our son doesn't deserve this." Lucius replied, his voice broken and his eyes admitting defeat. He was still in shock and his voice was hollow.

Narcissa threw herself into his arms sobbing.

Severus was working with the healers discussing how they could prevent Draco from turning into a werewolf with the next full moon. It was impossible to save him from the inevitable. But wolfsbane potion could be brewed so Draco would be able control himself.

Severus approached the Malfoys and in quiet whispers told them the bad news.

"I expected that." Lucius said, holding his wife close.

"They're going to put him in a dreamless sleep while they close up his wounds. There will be scarring. I can brew the wolfsbane potion. We do have to alert Dumbledore, but werewolves have been allowed at Hogwarts before. Trust me, he is not the first. And with them being better controlled, he can just spend the full moons in the hospital wing." He whispered. "I can alert Dumbledore on your behalf if you wish so you can remain here with Draco."

Narcissa nodded and went over to her son's bed side. Draco looked paler than ever. Lucius pulled up two chairs and they sat down. Narcissa stroked Draco's hair, tears falling freely from her eyes.

"My poor boy," she whispered, "You didn't deserve this."

Lucius sat with his face in his hands, muttering to himself. He allowed this to happen. If only he had been more prepared. If he had sent the diary with someone other than a Weasley, everything would have been different. There were plenty of other mudbloods at Hogwarts. And plenty of other blood traitors. But he went after the ones who was associated closely with Potter.

He hated himself for everything that had happened. If only he had actually thought about his actions before he did them.

Severus regarded the couple with remorse and then left the room. He went to the fire and flooed to Dumbledore's office.

"Dumbledore!" He called, walking to the door that lead to his private quarters, and pounded on the door until the quirky headmaster answered.

Severus, who had dealt with Dumbledore for many years, was taken aback by the pink bunny footie pajamas that he was wearing.

"Yes Severus?" Dumbledore asked peering over his halfmoon glasses.

"Draco Malfoy was attacked by a werewolf about an hour ago. He is currently in St. Mungos. I will be making him moonsbanes potion. I will get in touch with Remus Lupin so he can help Draco deal with the first couple of transformations. I just wanted to alert you of the situation as soon as possible." Severus rushed.

"He can spend nights in the infirmary every full moon. I'll let Poppy know about the situation in the morning. No point in waking her up now. What's done is done." Dumbledore said, his face somber.

Severus nodded, "Understandable sir. I am going to go back to the Malfoys. It is crucial that it remains a secret. You know how the purebloods get. Especially those who are followers of You-Know-Who."

"One of these days, I hope that you won't be afraid to say Voldemort's name. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. Remember that Severus. Go back to the Malfoys, and best of luck." He said, his face still somber.

Severus returned to the fireplace and returned to St. Mungos where the Malfoys were waiting for the fate of their son to be revealed.

Okay, PLEASE review. This is my brain child and she needs to be nurtured.
Thank you and I'l post the next one soon! I have PoA next to me and my notebook on the other side of me! I am ready for this!
