Notes
There is a major difference between Elder Werewolves and 'normal' werewolves. Elder Werewolves have the positive side of lycanthropy. It is seen as a blessing are seen as a part of nature and therefore never seen as a dark creatures. In addition, Elder Werewolves can change back and forth between their two forms at will. I am using MTV's Teen Wolf style of werewolf as a starting point thinking of Elder Werewolves. Please note that while in full hybrid form Elder Werewolves looks like a bipedal Siberian Husky. Also note I am going to be setting a quick pace for the early years of Harry's life.
Early Years
I loved the summer holidays as Minerva our next door neighbor comes home from working at a Boarding school in the Scottish highlands. I get to hear more about my parents. As they were her students who went on to be on the board of governors.
For the last three summers, she had taken me on a two week camping trip, a week either side of my birthday. My relatives came as well the last two summers, but not this year. This year was deferent, I changed into a husky the night I turned seven. When I was able to turn back Minerva is having her morning pot of tea.
She told me. "Harry. For as long as your family been magical, they have been a rare kind of light-sided werewolves known as Elder Werewolves. Elder Werewolves personality are strongly tided to the moon they are conceived under. Your dad told me that you were conceived under a full Ivy Moon. It is how the old Druids linked some trees to the full moon they are at it's strongest." She finished the cup and pored one for me and anther for herself.
She smiled before telling me about those of the Ivy moon. "Those under the Ivy Moon are known for their ability to overcome all odds. They have a sharp intellect, but more obvious is their compassion and loyalty to others. You like those he talked about have a giving nature, and are always there to lend a helping hand. Their life sometimes seems unfair because it appears that obstacles are coming at them with no prompting on their part. Nevertheless, they endure troubling times with silent perseverance and soulful grace. Those under the Ivy Moon have a tendency to be deeply spiritual and cling to a deeply rooted faith that typically sees them through adversity. They are often softly spoken, but have a keen wit about them. They're charming, charismatic, and can effectively hold their own in most social settings." She finished her last cup of tea.
It was then that she began teaching me how to control my changes. By the end of summer, I was able to fully enter my full husky form at will. She told me that I would not have the magical strength to enter my hybrid form outside of the full moon. She did carried on saying that I will probably be able to, when my magic grows on my fourteenth birthday.
The summer of my eighth birthday saw the start of my magical tutoring with Bill Weasley. In the morning from eight to eleven, we do potions. After a quick lunch we do Arithmancy from eleven-thirty to two-thirty. We then brake for afternoon tea before studying Magic Runes till quarter to six.
He tells me that he is a part time Curse-Breaker at the moment as there is no full time postings available yet. Therefore, he deiced to housesit for Minerva while tutoring me. He tells me that he takes the shorter expeditions to build up his resume.
Since Bill started tutoring, he had taken me at lest once every month to Diagon Ally. That weekend when we went to the magical shopping district, I went to the tent makers and ordered an elite Curse-Breaker's tent for Bill. While I was at it I ordered a custom made Wizard's tent. The outside of the tent is a heptagon externally covering twenty-one square-meters. It is enchanted to have the internal space of a four hundred and ninety times the footprint. It has a potion field lab, runic enchanter lab, library, storeroom, two barracks, a master bedroom, and a commons.
Thankfully, he was able to deal with my cursed scar. There was a soul fragment in it but he transferred it in to a blackish purple gemstone. That he called a black soul gem. In the process, my magic was released from its eternal battle with the corruption from the black soul. My magic core almost cubed in size. Minerva told me that I like all Potters have a well above average core before hand.
Also she told me that magical Potters are usually raised in an environment that encourages imagination and creativity. This produces prodigies in transfiguration. Those that aren't tend to have tough childhoods and become prodigies in warding, curse-breakering, and combative magic.
