Harry Potter: The Wolf Heart Saga (a 'Harry Potter' fic)
Disc.: J.K. Rowling is the only one who will ever be able to claim true ownership of this wonderful book/movie series, which means that I'll only ever own fics like this one based around her series.
A/N: Since I finished up 'Jagged Dawn', I can try my hand at this requested series, and it's gonna be with the ever popular HarryxDraco pairing…hope I do a good job, if not then tell me so and I'll try harder/do better if it's not to your liking; I figured I'd do something a little different and have our favorite characters be werewolves instead of witches/wizards and the like…those who are already werewolves like Lupin will stay the same, while Animagus like Sirius will become a rare breed known as 'Shifters'. And now, I present to you this first chapter!
Ch.1- Human Pack
The night air around the small Muggle neighborhood was covered in a thin fog that seemed to glow beneath the light of the full moon, the water droplets in the air giving a silver glow that illuminated the streets in a soft light. As the minutes ticked by slowly, a grey and black tabby cat darted across the dark asphalt and into an alleyway whereupon it transformed into a woman; the woman wore a Victorian era cloak and dress with her dark auburn hair pulled back into a low ponytail that'd been styled into a bun so that no strands would fall into her face.
As she walked through the alleyway, her eyes soon caught sight of a huge white wolf carrying a bag in his jaws…said wolf transforming into an old man with a long, flowing white beard. He placed the bag down onto the ground and changed into the clothes inside, which was a traditional English robe that was made of soft silk interwoven with cotton and wool so that it could retain heat on cold nights like this one.
"Thank you for seeing me at this late hour, Albus. I contacted you as soon as I heard the news…is it true that the Potters were killed by you-know-who?"
"Yes, Minerva…as unfortunate as it sounds, it is indeed true."
"And the pup?"
"Hagrid is bringing him as we speak, Minerva." The old white wolf spoke, his dark hazel eyes surveying the human neighborhood, his lips curling back to reveal sharp fangs as he let out a snort and growl of disgust. The cat shifter didn't miss the actions of her old friend, for she also had a large level of disdain for the one human family they were making their way towards.
"I've seen these people, Albus…they're the absolute worst sort of Human one could ever meet."
"I know, Minerva…but they are the pup's only living family that can take care of him right now."
"But these people are Werewolf Hunters, Albus; they'll force him to hide what he truly is so that he'll never know how great his pack has become…why, this pup has had his name steeped in greatness ever since his pack first came into flourishing, and you want to entrust him to those humans?!"
"We don't really have much choice at the moment, Minerva…I've had no luck in getting ahold of Sirius, and Lupin is in Romania settling pack squabbles at the moment; we really do have no choice but to leave him in the care of these humans."
Before either of them could argue further on the matter, the sound of a motorcycle heading their way drew their attention behind them…a large and somewhat plump man with a midlength black-brown beard pulled up to stop about 6 or so feet away from the wolf and the shifter, his arms holding a small bundle in them as he dismounted the bike and walked towards Albus and Minerva.
"Sorry I'm late, Albus…Minerva. The little pup slept the whole way here, didn't even whimper during the whole ride."
"Thank you, Hagrid…what's wrong?" the white wolf said when he noticed his friend tense up slightly, his body language showing hesitance and sadness.
"It's just that…I'd love to take care of the pup myself, rather than leave him in the clutches of these damned Hunters."
"I know you would, Hagrid, seeing as your own pup Seamus was killed last year by Hunters…but we can't interfere with the final wishes of the Pack Alpha, or those of his mate; you know as well as I do that Lilly specifically asked that her son be given as normal a life as possible."
Hagrid sighed, his eyes taking on a look of despair at the thought of leaving such a young pup with humans that would probably sell him rather than take care of him like they should…his own pup, Seamus, was about Harry's age when he'd been caught in a Werewolf Hunter's trap and killed that same day last year.
The large wolf reluctantly placed the now human Harry on the porch of the Dursley's house, a note attached to his blanket and the pup smiling up at the large wolf in his sleep, Hagrid even more reluctant to let the pup go as he tried his best not to start crying. Albus walked up next to his friend and smiled at him while placing a hand on his shoulder reassuringly, the white wolf also looking distraught but managing to restrain his pack instincts urging him to take the pup away from this dangerous house.
"Don't worry, Hagrid…we'll see him again someday, when he's just a little more grown up; we'll meet again soon…Harry Potter." Albus said before him and Hagrid left the neighborhood followed by Minerva, the woman and white wolf shifting into their animal forms while Hagrid took off on his motorcycle…the large brown-black wolf almost letting a mournful howl burst from his throat as he forced himself not to look back at the young pup they'd all pretty much abandoned to a life of hiding his true heritage and being forced to live as a human for the next however many years they had to wait before seeing him again.

T.B.C.- So, that's pretty much the first chapter…sorry if it's short but I'm going by the movie and if you have a problem with that, then get the hell out of my story and take your rude comments with you on the way out! Other then that, please leave a nice review and I'll see you in the next chapter…which will have a time skip so be ready.
