He glanced over the Great Hall as he entered. Gabriel felt tired and weak. His entire body felt sore, and he had a pounding headache. The sixth year ravenclaw found a spot at his table, glad that it was at least a Saturday. The weekend sported a few late risers, and the ravenclaw house was notorious for sleeping in late whenever possible. It was probably because of the countless debates, late-night homework and study groups, and continuous experiments with spells and potions.
It wasn't a stretch to realize that ravenclaws were night-owls; most of the house thrived under the starry sky, and Astronomy was widely loved in the house of the eagle. Were there exceptions to the rule? Absolutely...and Gabriel was one of them. He despised the night time. To him, it represented everything wrong and dark with the world. It was a cramped bedroom with a locked door, it was a full moon with painful consequences, it was a scarred bite that would never go away, and it was the shame that came along with it.
Regardless, his late entrance to the Great Hall went relatively unnoticed. He quickly realized that only one of his many siblings was in the Hall as well. Tanaquil, a hyper blonde from Slytherin house, was eagerly chowing down on sausage and bacon. He didn't blame her. Meat was the best thing to eat after a transformation. He caught her eye and she nodded to him, smiling. So far, so good. They all took wolfs bane potion, it was required of them if they wanted to stay at Hogwarts...and some of them didn't. It was only the fact of their father's wrath that kept them in the hallowed halls of the school. Tanaquil, while completely loyal to their father and longing to serve him and help him outside the school, loved being at school. She was a complete social butterfly.
However his other siblings had different ideas. Gabriel settled for bacon, bacon, and more bacon, covered in maple syrup and a glass of pumpkin juice to accompany his meal. He was considered the middle child, even though there were eight of them so there could techniquly be no middle child...Two of them, the older twins Nero and Aelina, were already out of Hogwarts. Even though they were twins, they couldn't be any more different. Aelina was deeply devoted, far more than anyone else in the family, to their father. She was often a spy among the children. If any rules were broken she would deal with the rule breaker personally or hand them over to their father without regret.
Nero, however, was venomously against their father. He left the family as quickly as he could. When they went home for Christmas their seventh year, Nero vanished from the train station. Gabriel still stayed in touch with his oldest brother, but no one in the family had seen Nero since. Aelina had been devastated and threw her entire being into serving the pack instead of coming to terms with his betrayal and abandonment. As a result she was very sensitive about it.
Tanaquil was the second oldest, if you counted the twins as one. She was eighteen and in her final year at Hogwarts. She had just turned eighteen recently, and she was very excited about leaving the school even if she was a bit sad. Gabriel got on well with his second oldest sister. She was loyal to their father as well, but she wasn't as crazy about it as Aelina was. She understood the idea of individuality. She was also very funny and light hearted, all things considered.
Gabriel ate some of his bacon as he saw his other older brother enter the Great Hall. Amadeus' eyes were bruised and his lips were swollen. He looked like he had been forced to crawl through hell and back. Well, no one would be wrong, in Gabe's opinion. Amadeus was seventeen and also in his last year at Hogwarts. He was a Hufflepuff, a gentle soul, and rather fair and just. He worked hard and was loyal to his friends and family...except their father. He hated his father's cruelty and blood lust. Gabriel didn't like to think about Amadeus' hypocritical opinions, but it wasn't really his brother's fault, he reasoned. Their father forced them all into being blood-thirsty monsters.
He sipped his orange juice as his best friend found a seat across the table. Albus Severus Potter: Top of the class of their year. He excelled at potions, charms, and transfiguration. He was snarky, rude, and a bit of a prankster. He was loud and obnoxious, and loved attention, but he often latched onto an insignificant detail and fretted over it until it came to pass. He was in ravenclaw, and Gabriel was eternally grateful to whoever had managed to place them together. Gabriel knew that he would've been much worse had Albus not been in his life.
He smiled weakly as Albus, his eyes looking back to the doorway of the Hall to see his more of his family. The second set of twins (what could he say? his father's family had quite a reputation for producing twins. wasn't it more likely in families with twins?) Cicero and Rachel were creepy to say in the least. They kept to each other. They seemed to always know about each other, the location, the status, and the mood of the other twin. They finished each other sentences and laughed at secret jokes together. They were identical as wolves, besides their gender. As humans, it was obvious which was which. They were also both Gryffindors and both loyal to their father.
Gabriel ate another few pieces of bacon. They stayed in the background: they didn't care if you agreed with them or not. They were honorable that way, he supposed. They were insanely brave, as well, unwilling to back down from anything. He supposed that made them stubborn as well. While one could easily see as Nero and Aelina as separate people who just happened to be in the womb at the same time, and born at the same time, it was nearly impossible to see Cicero and Rachel as separate. Gabriel knew for a fact that they shared everything at home: beds, showers, food, partners, prey. The two last ones were often one in the same.
Gabriel swallowed thickly, looking up again and just glimpsing his last, and youngest, sibling sit at hufflepuff table. Varinia was a powerful wolf, witch, and metamorphagus. She was relatively normal, though. Far more normal than anyone else of the group. Nero had an ego complex, Aelina was narcissistic and sadistic, Tanaquil was rude and obnoxious to mental illness levels, Amadeus was a bit of an anti-social freak, except with his three very close hufflepuff friends, with multi-personality syndrome, Gabriel himself suffered from several phobias and bi-polar disorder, Cicero and Rachel were simply crazy and incestuous with a dash of sadistic and masochistic tenancies...They were all a family of fucked up werewolves, that was for sure.
He made eye contact with Varinia and she smiled sadly before going back to her breakfast. He returned to his own plate, looking up at Albus. "Morning," he greeted softly, his voice hoarse as it always was. He had screamed nonstop as a baby, which nearly caused his father to rip his heart out. Instead, Fenrir Greyback had forced his mother to raised him for a while before killing her savagely and pining her head on a spike in the pack's territory.
Oh yes, Fenrir Greyback was their father. He had been condemned for his crimes in the second war, but had gotten out of Azkaban exactly ten months before Nero and Aelina was born. Fenrir hopped from town to town, seducing witches and muggles alike, and impregnating them. He'd take the child once they were born and raise them. Regardless of any of them, though, he would bite the child at some point. They all bore scars on their bodies from a werewolf bite. They were forced into the nightmare of being a lycan.
Some of Gabriel's siblings were loyal to his father, others resented him or didn't care.
He, however, hated the son of a bitch with all of his soul and body. His existence thrived on hating that fucking crazy asshole. And he only found this hate because of his very best friend: Albus Potter.
"Morning," Albus replied, smiling in return even as his eyes expressed concern. He knew about Gabriel's condition, about his family's condition and situations. He helped Gabriel through some of his phobias and he was there when Gabriel had his manic attacks. Gabriel was only alive with a purpose because of Albus Potter...
Gabriel returned the small smile and returned to his meal.
This is the story of a tyranny being overthrown, of a clan of wolves that grew into a family of siblings, and one single wizard who believed in one single werewolf with all of his heart and soul.
This is the story of Gabriel Greyback, and the nightmare that is his life.
This is a rough draft of an epilogue. Do Not expect frequent chapters. I have a lot of things on my plate with little time. I will update as I can. This is not a fic for the faint of heart: there is implied incest, actual incest, rape, gang bang, bdsm, gay scenes, boy/boy, girl/girl, age gaps, cannibalism, human consumption, murder, torture, and other dark, gory, horrible things. Do Not Read if you cannot handle this.
All of the Greybacks, save for Fenrir, are of my own mind however I still take no claim over them. Without JK Rowlings beautiful worlds and characters, they would've never came to be. Following is a key for you to see exactly where each Greyback child was placed, what they practiced, and where their loyalties lie. They are all magical, but some are stronger than others.. You'll learn a lot about each of them as the story progresses, and I hope you like them. I certainly do, or else I wouldn't have bothered writing about them.
I included playbys (celebrity faces) to give you a better idea of how I imagine each Grayback. These playbys are only valid while Gabriel is sixteen and up to his late twenties. I haven't assigned playbys to them when they're younger because, while there will be several chapters devoted to his childhood, it's hard to find proper children playbys. I hope you can imagine these playbys and take what you can from my own descriptions to create a satisfying face for each child.
I really hope you enjoy my fic. This is more of a character study on characters who are placed under horrible situations, and how they react to each thing. Note that, while they are compliant to each of their house's traits, Slytherin does not mean evil and Gryffindor does not mean good. In fact, the more darker characters were placed in Gryffindor. It's all about point of view, in my opinion. Please, R&R!
