Chapter 2: Aftermath
Disclaimer: nope still don't own
Warnings: wolf scenting, bloody harry
a/n Hello everyone, am so thankful for everyone that has commented so far and I encourage you all to continue to do so as it keeps me interested and makes me update sooner!
Fenrir/harry is probably my favorite pairing, however I had planned for this to be a Draco/harry fic, but Let me know what your guy's opinions are. By the way, I have it all planned out but it could go either way, but neither development will be happening for quite some time, a few chapters at least.
And to reply to an anonymous review: I do plan to fix the grammar and all the other errors eventually, the reason I don't work with a beta as am writing is to insure prompt updates, if it's TOO distracting I will change that however, from experience working with a beta updates chapters won't get released for a few months while this way ill try and update every few weeks granted my schedule doesn't get too full.
When I do revise this story this one will be left how it is errors and all (so I can keep my precious reviews) and a new story will be added to my fiction it will appear something like this…
Harry Potter and the Pack Moon (revised)
Harry Potter and the Pack Moon (original)
Along with my other stories in the same fashion!
NOW TO COMMENCE WITH THE FF!
REMEMBER TO READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
**************
Sirius awoke to the yelling of Mrs. Molly Weasely. He reached for his wand and cast a quick tempus 4:40 Am, he groaned. 'I guess I will get an early start on breakfast and then head out to see how Harry is doing.'
Sirius rolled out of bed and looked to find it empty. He sighed and cast the charms for proper hygiene (something he had been very glad he was able to do now that he was not in Azkaban) he changed his robes and went down stairs to get something to eat and see what all the yelling was about.
"You, inconsiderable, no good, irresponsible, HOW COULD YOU?"
'Molly seems peeved, wonder what could have gotten her in such a mood?'
"Molly? What's the matter?"
"This, this thing, abandoned his post!" she pointed to a cowering Mundungas
"HE DID WHAT?"
"Molly, Sirius, the boy will be a'ight, he ah tuff one if I ever seen one he is" Mundungas said "an b'sides I had other ings I had ter do!"
Sirius growled at the thief
"Am leaving molly"
Sirius ran towards the large hulking door, waved his wand, and the numerous deadbolts began to click and unlock. In to the small foyer that served as their apparition area. Pop! Sirius disappeared from grimwauld place and appeared behind the bushes in the Dursley's yard just as a car pulled into the driveway. He watched as the bulky man drove into the garage and went into the house. He waited a few minute for any alarms to go off.
'Good, nothing hysterical going on' trying to relax Sirius took a deep breath in and froze.
He smelt blood! Harry's blood!
Without thought for his own safety, without calling for back up or making a plan, he burst into the house brandishing his wand.
The Dursley's all stared, horror struck "WHERES HARRY?"
For a long moment no one said anything. Sirius was shaking, furious, and scared shitless. "WHAT HAPPENED, TELL ME!" Sirius's voiced boomed through the house, rattling decorative plate's petunia had hung on the wall.
"H-he he's not here, h-he he left! Yeah he left! Didn't like my rules and just walked out of here!"
Sirius growled "YOUR LIEING!" Without waiting for the Dursley's to answer his questions, he morphed into his animingus form and began sniffing the premises. Vernon whimpered, while petunia feinted at his side, and Dudley clutched at his dad's arm.
Sirius's nose instantly led him to the cupboard under the stairs, the room had been doused in bleach but whoever did the work hadn't been thorough, there on the bed post was Harry's blood dried but only an hour or so bled.
He ran out of the cupboard and up to the Dursley's and began to sniff at the fat boy sobbing and clutching desperately at his fat dad. He was clean. He then began to sniff at petunia and growled at the fact she smelled like bleach. He then went up to Vernon and sniffed him.
Harry's scent and blood was all over his clothes and underneath his fingernails, along with the smell of fresh dirt.
Sirius began to hyperventilate and gagged at the thought of what might have happened.
He morphed again. Leaving him stark naked, wand pointed at Vernon, tears streaming down his face, and his teeth clenched in anger.
"Tell me what happened, now! If you don't start talking now, am going to do worse than kill you!" Sirius said dangerously low.
"I-I t-there's not-nothing to say!" Vernon was sweating and had paled to a chalky white.
"LIAR, LEGILLIMIN!" Sirius shouted and dived into Vernon's mind
Instantly he felt the fear the hulking dog man caused, and the hatred for the boy, the ungrateful boy, harry. He pulled a pressed pillow from his ears and growled in frustration. He had only slept 4 hours, and already that nuisance was whimpering and crying in his sleep.
Deep breaths, count back from 10 doctors said it wasn't good for his health. The more he tried to relax the more he was reminded of why he had to relax, and got wrapped up in his hatred of the boy.
He did nothing but good by him. He took him in when no one else would. Clothed, and fed the boy. He even tried to cleanse the freak out of him, and how does the boy repay him? By joining those freaks, and expect me to care for him when he's crying of the death of another freak, all the while keeping him from getting a decent amount of sleep! He was going to fix the boy yet just wait and see.
He pulled the blanket from his bulbous body, and started pounding his feet down as he walked (let the boy know he was coming and get him worked up while he was at it). This time it was going to be different; he wasn't just going to continue yelling at the boy, which has proven to harvest no results.
He opened the door and Sirius watched the scene unfolded in front of him, aware of his own tears continuing to stream down his face.
He came to the part where Vernon had left him bloody and battered in the woods with wolves. He pulled back from the now unconscious mans mind and apparated from the spot.
The first thing that came from his surroundings, soft grunts and whimpers turned snarls and licks. He turned around and the sight knocked the breath from his lungs.
Fenrir Greyback had his fangs deep into the meat of Harry's shoulder and was humping against Harry's leg; Harry's body was rocked in a sickening fashion.
Sirius vision swayed and returned with a reddened clarity. He pulled out his wand and screams "Expelliarmus!" and Fenrir flew from Harry's mangled body. Without waiting for Fenrir to recover, he began firing every volatile spell he knew. When he was close enough to get to harry he wrapped him in his arms and apparated onto the doorstep of Grimauld manor.
"MOLLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sirius screamed he was shaking tears were streaming down his face as he looked over his godson.
His face was swollen; his eyes were almost shut, and bruising over. He lifted Harry's shirt over his head careful not to hurt him further.
Molly opened the door that moment and gasped "Harry?"
"Pomfrey, Mcgonagall, Lupin, and whoever else might be useful, NOW!!"
"Sirius, Sirius?" Harry murmured, trying to open his eyes.
"It's all right harry, everything's going to be alright." Sirius gripped Harry and pulled his body onto his chest and carried him into the house.
"Sirius, is it really you? I thought it was you in the forest, it wasn't you, Sirius please be real! Please let it be you!" Harry started to sob
Sirius shushed him "harry its really me, am going to take care of you now, am so sorry harry, I'll never let anything bad happen to you again." Sirius didn't even try to control his sobs or the tears that dropped on to Harry's beaten face.
"I was so scared." Sirius began to rock harry trying to sooth him and himself as loud 'pops' sounded all around them, signaling the arrival of the people he called for.
"Oh my god!" Pomfrey whispered "to a bed! Get him to a bed!" she waved her wand and levitated him from Sirius's arms (the man hesitated in letting him go) and up the stairs and into the closest room she could find, as the others followed her
"What happened, Sirius?" Mcgonagall asked clearly shaken.
The door opened, in walked Snape and Lupin as Sirius said, "Fenrir bit him" the room gasped.
"All death eaters have a strict rule to capture and not to harm harry. Fenrir did this? He turned harry?" Snape asked
"No, he can't be!" Lupin shook his head in disbelief
"HE IS!" Sirius barked
"Calm yourself, Sirius! Tell us how Fenrir got past the wards and why in Merlin's name would Fenrir put the boy in such a state!" it was painfully obvious Mcgonagall was struggling to understand, and stay in control of her emotions.
"No, not Fenrir, the Dursley's"
"The Dursley's, you can be serious? They would do no such thing. Harry's waited on hand and foot!" Snape erupted.
Lupin didn't wait for Sirius to explode. He himself had Snape pressed against the wall snarling at him in a matter of seconds. "If only you knew what the boy went through growing up their."
"He's right Severus. Harry's had an upbringing closer to yours, then anyone in this room." Mcgonagall said sadly.
Snape paled, it was obvious that either Dumbledore had been telling her about him, or he had kept some sort of record and she had found it. "h-he, he never corrected me when I said anything. I assumed he was well taken care for, Merlin I swear I didn't know!" Lupin removed his grip from Snape's collar roughly.
Lupin pulled out his wand (making Snape fidget) and pulled his scarf from his neck and transfigured it into a large luxurious blanket, draping it of Sirius shoulders, covering his exposed body.
Sirius tried to tell the nights story and could barely be understood as he was recounting what had happened While Pomfrey cast the charms and spells Harry had needed in the background. They had so much trouble understanding the man, that Mcgonagall insisted on pulling his memories from him and watch them in a pensive.
Hours later; Pomfrey had all of Harry's cuts and bruises healed. As for the cracked ribs and blood loss, Pomfrey gave him potions to fix those but would take a few nights, if the lycanthropy didn't heal him first.
"I've done all that I could have done. The rest will simply need a few nights of rest to let the potions take effect. I've never seen such extensive damage like that before"
"Yes Pomfrey, from what I've accounted from Sirius it seems as though we have harry still with us only due to Fenrir." Mcgonagall sighed
"what I don't understand is why, and why was he doing such an atrocious act towards Harry especially when he was unconscious.
Sirius growled.
"Sirius, as much as I don't like it, it appears as though Fenrir has recognized harry as his mate. You seen what he had been doing when you found him, did you not." Lupin said
"What, molesting him? I'll kill him!"
"You're wrong, he was doing no such thing, Fenrir was scenting him" Lupin looked tired and every year he was plus more. "It's true, I can smell him all over harry." Lupin rubbed Sirius's arm in an attempt to calm and reassure him.
"I know, I can smell him on Harry too, but, but I won't allow harry anywhere near him!"
"None of us will!" Lupin snarled "that man, no! not even a man, a thing; I hate him more than Voldemort" Sirius returned the gentle rubbing of limbs trying to return the comfort.
"Pomfrey, can I move harry without hurting him?" Sirius asked.
"Well I wouldn't recommend it but it can be done if it's done carefully, why?"
"I am going to give Harry a bath, that's why!"
"You will do no such thing! I will cast a few cleaning spells as soon as I recover from treating Harry's more serious injuries"
"You know as well as I do that werewolves are imperious to magic and a werewolf scent is protected from such magic. And besides you have no say in what I do with my godson! You already said it wouldn't hurt him so am giving him a bath"
Pomfrey began to look outraged, at being told she had nothing to do with harry but stopped at the shake of McGonagall's head.
"Lupin, go draw a bath, and I'll get Harry".
Lupin ran out the room to prepare the water. And Sirius followed him out, Harry in arms.
The bathroom was large with a huge tub that Lupin had filled generously with hot and scented water. Once the 3 were in, Lupin locked the door behind them and help Sirius undress Harry. Sirius was about to put Harry in the tub when Lupin pulled the draped blanket off of Sirius and motioned for him to get in with harry.
"you can hold him while I help the both of you wash." Lupin explained and Sirius just nodded getting into the tub while holding Harry's still body against his.
(a/n: this scene is by no means meant to be sexual in any shape or form. I intend it to be nurturing, in a canine touch sort of way, parental even!)
10 minutes passed as Sirius just lay there watching Lupin wash his godson, paying extra attention to Harry's leg where that beast had rubbed his fluids.
"Lupin, what are we going to do?" Sirius said, holding back a sob.
"Were going to continue supporting him, loving him, and being there for him. About Greyback, I don't know. When he changed me he didn't stay around to teach me werewolf ways. I have no idea how mating between us work I know there is a dominate, and a submissive, I know Fenrir is an Alpha, but when Harry comes into play, I just don't know."
"let's keep Fenrir away from Harry!"
"How Sirius, We can't be with him at all times".
"I know McGonagall offered you your old job back, take it. I'll go along as your pet, or Harry's pet. I am sure McGonagall will allow it!"
"okay Sirius we can go to Hogwarts, if, an only if Harry agrees to it!"
"Thank you Lupin, I know he will!" Sirius began to cry again
Lupin leaned forward and kissed Sirius on the lips trying to put all of his reassurance, worry, fears, love, devotion, and hope into the kiss he could. "It will be okay Sirius, he won't be alone in this like I was, he has you, and me."
Sirius nodded, grabbing Lupin's hand squeezing, and with the other pulling Harry tighter against his chest. "thank you"
After a few more minutes of soaking in the warmth of, the comfort of his lover, and the safety of his godson, Lupin helped Sirius with Getting Harry out of the tub, both of them dressed, and up into the master suit of the house.
Sirius was exhausted from crying, and his head was pounding. Lupin assured him harry was safe where he lay, and to go get something to eat and get to bed. Tomorrow night was the first night of the full moon, and harry was going to need both of them in top shape.
Sirius obliged. He walked down with Lupin and came to a frantic Molly, her face was tear streaked, and her eyes were bloodshot. "Is he going to be okay?"
"Physically he will be. I don't know about the rest" Lupin said and molly sobbed
"y-you must both be starving let me get you something" they were about to tell her they could help themselves and for her to get some rest, but she cut them off and explained she needed to do this. They didn't argue, they knew she loved harry just as much as either of them did.
When Sirius walked into the kitchen he was appalled to see Mundungas Fletcher reclined in his chair with his feet propped up on the table, counting a stack of galleons out in front of him.
"You son of a bitch, What are you doing here?" the sight of the man had Sirius's blood boiling with rage.
"Oh hey Sirius, how goes it? I tell yea, ye should consider investing in blast ended skrewt fights! Made a fortune tonight I did! You okay there y'look a lil upset!" he laughed "lady trouble? For a price I could-" he didn't get to finish
"CRUCIO!" Sirius shouted! The dam of tears was brought back gushing along side of his cheeks as Lupin stood behind Sirius with his face pressed into his shoulders while molly looked on in horror as Mundungas screamed and writhed about.
"EXPILLAIRMESS" Mcgonagall shouted and the wand went flying while Mundungas went still, panting.
"t-t-the man is mad e is! Attacked for no reason and with an unforgivable no less! Have him locked up he aint safe he aint." Mundungas choked out cowering behind the table.
"That's enough!"
"But Mcgonagall, you have to do something"
"Yes I do, due to your carelessness shown on your shift, Harry's life has been irrevocably changed, and could very well have ended!" Mundungas still shaking due to the curse paled and began to speak but before he could Mcgonagall continued "I not only think that Sirius was justified doing what he did to you, I feel as though I must add to the punishment."
Mundungas paled even further "w-what are you g-going t-to d-do?"
"As of this moment on, I am retracting the protection given to you from those you crossed in your shady deals and I am removing you from the order, and all your memories of having belonged to it!"
"You wouldn't!" Mundungas was now shaking violently, nothing to do with sore muscles from an unforgivable.
Mcgonagall simply lifted his wand "obliterate!" and Mundungas's world went dark.
Molly Made a large breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and muffins in every flavor you could think of. Unfortunately nobody had any appetite to enjoy it with.
"Tomorrow is the full moon." Snape whispered.
"we know" Sirius replied, gripping Lupin's hand.
"I'll bring you enough potion to get you both through this month tomorrow afternoon."
They only nodded that they heard, to emotionally drained too question why Snape was being so nice, resuming making the potion, having stopped after Dumbledore's death.
After breakfast that no one could manage more than a few bites. Sirius went and curled up behind Harry on the bed, and Lupin doing the same behind Sirius. They fell asleep instantly.
"I think before we left it would be wise if the 4 of us should take a vow not to tell anyone what has happened here tonight." Mcgonagall said indicating Snape, Pomfrey, Molly and herself.
"Not even Ron, or my husband?" Molly asked.
"Am sure Harry will tell them when he's ready, but that is precisely the point. No one should know until he is ready."
Without any further questions, Mcgonagall pulled out her wand and the vows were said.
Mcgonagall, Pomfrey, and Snape went back to Hogwarts Snape taking Mundungas with him to drop him off in diagon alley and Molly went back to the burrow leaving the 3 canines alone to sleep.
