Wolfish Intentions Chapter 3
A/N: Well yes I am back now and yes we are going to continue this story just as we have been. So let's get to the wolfies!-MoonlitShadow
Eight Months Later…
Remus stood proudly at the edge of the tracks that housed the mighty Hogwarts Express and waved fondly to the young wolf that had become much like a son to him. Bill waved back excitedly right as the train gave a loud snort of smoke and began to move. Behind him stood the Weasley's who looked equally as proud as they watched all of their sons go off to their new school year. Once the train had disappeared out of sight, Molly hurried over to Remus who stared out at where he train had just been. "You know he'll be fine won't he, Remus?" She asked nervously as Arthur joined her in front of the older werewolf. Remus paused for a moment before nodding slowly. "I do believe I've trained him well. Seeing as how I've never had a young wolf under my care before, I'm not entirely sure I did a fine job but I sure hope I did because there's no bloody going back now." He said bluntly making Molly and Arthur exchange a withering look. "What aren't you telling us, Remus?" Arthur asked with a curious expression making Molly look between them in confusion. Remus stood still for a moment without saying a word before looking over at them with a heavy sigh. "Bill will be turning seventeen this upcoming Sunday, correct?" He asked them as the Weasley's looked to each other and nodded in confirmation. "Yes he will. Is there something the matter, Remus?" Molly asked as a darkened expression fell onto Remus's features. He sighed again and nodded once making Molly reach out to Arthur for support. Arthur stood stoically holding his wife as they waited for the verdict on their son's condition from the older werewolf. "Come the eve of his seventeenth birthday, his instinct to find his mate will come into full effect. If she is at Hogwarts, which I know for a fact that she is; there could be a whole world of problems once they find each other and begin the mating rituals." He said firmly as Molly and Arthur's eyes grew wide. "He has a mate?! Since when Remus?!" Molly cried as Arthur shook his head in distaste. "He's just a boy, Remus. How could something so huge happen so soon?" Arthur asked as Remus waved them off with his hand. "Every werewolf goes through the same thing. Some wolves never find their mates. Others are lucky enough to find them and complete their mating so they become the other half of their very souls." He said with a wistful look making Molly glance up at Arthur. "So it's a good thing that he's going to find her? You said she was there, didn't you?" Arthur pressed on as Remus nodded once again before looking away. "Yes, she's there alright. I know this for a fact. She's a good girl. She'll be good for him I think." He said with a small smile as he thought of the young girl that would soon become Bill's mate. Molly and Arthur were silent for a moment before they nodded in agreement. "If you say so, Remus." Molly said quietly as Remus nodded once again and turned to leave the empty station and the Weasley's behind.
2 hours later …
Bill smacked Percy's shoulder hard and gestured to outside the window where Hogwarts Castle had just come into view. "Look we're already there." He said excitedly as Percy nodded and turned to Charlie who was carrying on a conversation with one of his Ravenclaw friends. "Oi! Charlie! Who do you suppose is single and ready to bloody mingle this year?" Percy said as he waggled his eyebrows at his older brother. Charlie sighed in exasperation and turned towards him. "Only the usual bunch. I haven't heard of any newbies coming in ages." He said in an annoyed tone making Bill chuckle as Percy's face fell dramatically. "Oh you'll be alright, Perc. You don't need a bloody girlfriend anyways." He reassured Percy who scowled up at him. Percy huffed out a breath before getting up and gesturing towards the door. "Well come on then. The trains already unloading. We're going to miss bloody dinner if you don't hurry up." He said in a matter a fact tone that he knew both his brothers hated. "Ugh, not again." Charlie groaned as Bill mirrored him with the same sentiment. "Time for another fun year of bloody torture in academics." Charlie said with fake enthusiasm making Bill chuckle at his brother's sarcasm. As they both followed Percy off the train, Bill reached a hand up and scratched the back of his neck where he found the hair was standing up making him look confused for a moment before shrugging it off and heading towards the castle.
At the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall…
Kaysie Marie Griffin pulled gently at a loose string that hung from her new and already too big school issued uniform. She looked around at the other students nervously and spied several boys looking in her direction making her duck her head and keep her eyes to the ground. "So much for being invisible…" She muttered to herself as she heard them murmur excitedly to one another. Kaysie was the only new transfer student to Hogwarts this year and it was bad enough that she was rather pretty and the boys already had taken a liking to her. Her long red hair was tied back in a pretty yellow ribbon to match one of the colors on her uniform and she fidgeted in her seat as the other girls shot curious looks at her. Before this year, she had lived with her elderly grandmother on the west side of Scotland and had been tutored privately in their home since she was a small child. A lump formed in her throat when she thought back to the memory of standing at the front at her grandmother's funeral later that year and her finding out that she was being shipped off to a new school. She had been terrified at the prospect of being around other kids her age seeing as how she had been alone for so long. It made her long for the safety of her small room in the cottage that she and her grandmother had lived in right on the coast near the beach.
She let out a shaky breath and crossed her legs over one another as she adjusted the length of her too short school issued skirt. Her eyes stayed firmly planted on the stone floor of the Great Hall as yet another wave of Hogwarts students entered the Hall. The opening ceremony for the school year was about to begin and she was at least relieved that she was able to be sorted in the privacy of the Headmaster's office. She had been sorted into the noble house of Gryffindor which she knew little about but from what she heard, it was a rather good house to be in. She had spied the table that sat directly across from her own house's and noticed that the kids at that one wearing the green and silver looked like they were not the crowd she wanted to hang around. A couple had sneered when they had caught her staring at them making her feel uneasy and a bit sick to her stomach. As she watched the shoes of the other Gryffindor students approach and take a seat at their table, she suddenly felt the urge to look up and was surprised when a boy with bright fiery red hair much like her own and stunning royal blue eyes met her own green ones. He watched her from across the hall and began to start towards her, but was stopped by one of the other boys that he had been talking to who seemed to snap him out of his trancelike state. She watched as he gave her a small smile and then turned back to his friends breaking the moment that they had just shared. Her brows furrowed in confusion but she had no time to think on the matter as the dinner bell rang and everyone took their seats for the start of dinner. She was unsure about what just happened with the boy, and she wasn't quite sure she wanted to know either. But as dinner dragged on, she couldn't wait to get to her dormitories and settle in for the night away from the others and finally be left alone for the first time in a long while. Little did she know, the pair of blue eyes that had only just found hers, were staring straight at her the entire night and vowed that they would find her once again.
