*A shorter chapter, but I felt like it ended where it neeeded to*


Lunch was at the Lunar Cafe, a family friendly style restaurant that had a fun nighttime/moon theme to it. Apparently it had been Harry's favorite restaurant as a kid.

"He was obsessed with everything moon related." Henry told him, "Especially Full Moons."

"He was like that as a baby too. He had like a sixth sense for it, we had to have his crib angled just right so he could see the moon at its highest peak from the window in the nursery. His night time feeds had to be by a window so he could look at it." James sat down across from Henry, beside Harry at the booth they were led to.

"You know it's said that babies know they'll be a werewolf before they are one. I don't know if it's true or not, it seems a little farfetch'd in my opinion, but if I ever did believe that, it'd be because of Harry."

"That's because I begged my Papa into insanity to let me camp out on a full moon night until he finally said yes." Harry said.

"Is that how you became a Lycan?" James asked

"Yes, can you believe that? The one time I finally give in just so I don't have to deal with a crying pouting toddler all night is the night he gets attacked. I cursed myself for years after that."

"It was a new wolf's first moon and no one knew they were near the house we were staying at at the time. He attacked the tent I was staying in before anyone realized he was there. My Uncle Frankie had control over the Full Moon and attacked the New Wolf, it lasted maybe three seconds before I was scratched. Frankie killed him instantly so the wolf didn't go into a bloodlust. By that time my Papa was running to me full moon be damned." Harry told him

"Normally a scratch wouldn't change him, but the wolf got his saliva and blood in Harry's open wounds and it was deep and large scratches." Henry said, "I immediately took Harry to the nearest flat surface I found which happened to be the dining table. I started connecting hoses to the wounds and started draining the venom. If you know anything about Lycanthropy venom you know it attacks the bloodstream which means I had to drain his blood from his body. As much as I could without killing him. I kept giving him blood replenishers until I couldn't anymore then finally I had to stop. The next moon we put him in a cage and waited. When he didn't shift, it was such a relief. No one, no matter how supportive you are, wants their child to go through that."

"That's how Lycans are created?" James asked

"Actually most Lycans are created by people trying to kill themselves by bleeding out. Enough of the venom stays in their system however to have a wolf form and traits just not the venom or a few other things that make werewolves different from Lycans." Harry said.

"That's insane."

"It is...speaking of wolves." Harry said, making Henry laugh.

"Here we go. Hope you're ready James."

"I have the right to refuse to answer any question I feel should be answered by them. Understood?"

"Yeah sure whatever. Why were they there if they weren't supposed to be?" Harry asked

"According to Sirius they were there to make sure I wasn't talking to a divorce lawyer without talking to them first. According to Remus they were there to make sure I wasn't cheating on my wife. If that doesn't tell you how great our marriage is right now I don't know what will."

"Are you? Cheating or getting a divorce?"

"Cheating? No. Never. Divorce? I don't know. It's been a thought recently, but I don't want to put Charlie and Ariel through that."
