Harry's POV

Remus gave me a bright smile as we went into Flourish and Botts for my school books. While he found my book I went through the store looking at the different wizarding texts. One caught my eye The tales of Beetle and Bard. I grabbed it when Remus motioned that he was done. I put it on the pile noticing Remus' curious I said," I don't get much time to read apart from reports. This would be a start."

I ducked my head shyly instead of berating me like I expected Remus smiled. He said," It's a good story. Normally parents read it to their children when they are young." I reached to put it back but he grabbed my wrist to which I instinctively went for my knives with my free hand.

Remus took a step back letting go of my hand raising his trying to show he meant no harm. I said releasing my hold on my knives," Sorry battle instincts. I don't think I'll ever be rid of them. If you want I'll put the book back." Remus said encouragingly," It's okay. You have been through a lot in your life. Keep the book let it be part of your birthday present." At my lost look he asked," Don't you know your birthday is in a few weeks?"

I shook my head and said," We never really knew when my birthday was so at Scepter 4 and HOMRA we celebrated my escape. Dursley's never celebrated it either." Remus face clouded over with anger his eyes flashing gold. This caused me to step back in fear. It took him a moment to gain control over himself. When he did he said," Your birthday is July 31st Harry."

The surprise must have shown on my face because his showed barely withheld anger. He took me by the shoulder and led me out of the store heading to one of the supply shops. There we got a cauldron, quills, ink pots, and parchment. On our way out I was focused on my burning HOMRA clansmen mark that I walked straight into someone.

The person I walked into growled at me and said," Watch where you're going whelp." I snarled my wolf coming forward before Remus could say anything. The man was quite a bit taller than me with platinum blond hair he looked like he belonged within the judicial system. He had an arrogant air about him. I said," Normally I would apologize for walking into you but I have made a bad impression. I hope you don't plan on making friends with Scepter 4."

The man looked curious now as he said," So rude. What would you know of the Japanese group?" I grinned and said with confidence," I am the second lieutenant of Scepter 4. Advisor to the Captain. Leader of the scent seekers. Who are you?" The man pulled himself up a little straighter as he said," I am Lucius Malfoy advisor to the Minister of Magic. I didn't think your captain would allow you out with a beast such as him."

Malfoy was glaring daggers at Remus causing me to step protectively in front of him. I said," He is no more of a beast than you are. Good day Mr. Malfoy." With that I pushed past him I heard the distinct sound of metal against leather causing me to spin on my heel. I said allowing the seal on my sword to release," Emergency sword release."

My sword came up into a block as his cane came down as if to split my head open. I parried as he came at me with another attack. I allowed my battle instincts to slowly take over. I didn't want to kill them man but he was getting on my last nerves. The man made to slash me across my abdomen instead of trying to block or dodge I used my blue aura to shield myself. His cane didn't even get within a foot and a half of me stopped by the shield. Malfoy stood their in shock looking at the blue shield that surrounded me.

Malfoy snarled," Cant fight for yourself! Ha at least I can fight decently." I grinned and said," Thats what you will never understand. Fighting anyone from the clans of Japan will use aura. Be glad I only used one." He was about to retort back when a yell came and people were pointing at us," The duel is over here. Aurors!"

Men in robes came bustling through to where we were standing. They pointed sticks at us I just gave them a bored expression. One of them said," Put your sword away boy." I shrugged sheathing my sword back at my side dropping my aura shield. The aurors asked once we both had taken a less threatening stance," What the hell happened here?"

I said waving my hand towards Malfoy," I was getting my school supplies with Professor Lupin here when this man attacked me. I defended myself. I thought Englishmen had more manners." Malfoy roared and was about to attack me again when an auror pushed him back. The one that spoke asked," Where are you from boy?"

I said rubbing my still burning clansmen mark," Japan is where I spent the last eight years." The aurors nodded then turned to Malfoy and said," Mr. Malfoy you should just leave whatever argument this is about alone. He is just a student and a young one by the looks of him. Remus do take your charge and finish your business. Good day gentlemen."

Remus sighed in relief while I just stared down Malfoy my hand still on the hilt of my sword. He huffed before billowing back out into the streets. I gave a shy smile to Remus who said thinking about what I had said to Malfoy earlier," You defended me. He knows what I am as do you and when he insulted me you defended me. Why?"

I looked away my face heating with embarrassment," We aren't so different. Insulting you would be the same as insulting me. Besides your not that bad. Moronic humans will never completely understand us." Remus stared at me for a moment then said his voice softer than normal," Even so thank you. I know you don't like me yet you still defended me when you didn't have to."

I snorted and said," I may not like you Remus but out of all the Wizards I've met including that one you have made the best impression on me. If I was to trust anyone it would be you. Do not mistake that I trust you." I stalked off down the street leaving Remus with a full smile on his face.

We were going down the street heading to Olivevander's when I noticed a huge building straight ahead. I asked nodding to it," Remus, what's that?" He looked up to where I was indicating and smiled as he said," That's Gringott's Harry. It's were wizards store their money. You have a vault there as well. Don't worry about money I'm paying for your things."

I felt slightly guilty and he must have seen it because he said," I don't mind paying for it Harry. I have some money now that I'm a professor." My eyes narrowed at this it was suggesting that he wasn't used to having money. He said pointing to the door," In there is Olivervander's. I'll be back I have something I need to get. Besides Olivervander creeps me out."

Before I could argue he disappeared into the crowd. Taking a deep breath I pushed open the door. It looked like an unorganized shoe store. There were boxes everywhere. A latter came rolling towards the desk with a short man with white hair sticking up on ends. He gave me a small smile and said," I was wondering when I would be seeing you Mr. Potter. It seemed only yesterday when your parents were in here buying their first wands."

He gave me a far more curious look once he got a better look at me. He said," Well now you look more like a soldier than a wizard." I shrugged noncommitedly to which he gave me a knowing smile. He pulled out a box opening it he handed me a stick and said," Dragon heart string, Olive wood 10 inches."

I gave him a lost look to which he responded," Well give it a wave." I did and half of the wall of boxes came crashing down. He looked behind him and said," No, no, no definitely not." He handed me another one and when I gave it a wave the glass ornament on the desk shattered. He took it from me heading into the back.

I could see him starring at a box it was different from the others. This one was all black and had a large layer of dust as if it hadn't been moved in years. He said almost too quiet for me to hear," I wonder." He took out the wand and handed it to me. When my hand wrapped around it I felt an immense amount of power.

Olivervander said looking like he had been struck with lightning," Curious very curious." I asked him placing the wand in one of my extra knife holders inside my jacket," What's curious, sir?" He said his voice low so not to be overheard," I remember every wand I've ever sold Mr. Potter. Yours is a Phoenix feather yew wand of 11 inches. The Phoenix that gave the feather for your wand also gave another feather. One other. It's curious that you should be destined for this wand when it's brother gave you that scar."

The old man had my interest now I asked," Who was it that gave me this scar? I was told I got it in a car crash when I was a year old." He was about to say something when a red haired family walked in. There were four teenagers and two adults. One of the three boys looked my age and said looking abashed," Mr. Olivevander I need a new wand. Mine is unusable."

The old man rolled his eyes and said," I heard about what you did Mr. Weasley if it had been up to me you would never get another wand. Thankfully for you it's not up to me but if you ever do something that stupid again I'll make sure you won't get a legal wand in this country. Do I make myself clear?"

The young red head nodded sheepishly while his siblings snickered. I felt eyes upon me looking around I spotted the adult male that had come in with them. He had the red hair like the others but he wasn't listening to a word that was being said. He gave me a look of interest and asked," May I inquire your name?" I said giving a short now as was proper for Scepter 4 members," I am second lieutenant Wolf of Scepter 4. Who are you?"

The man seemed surprised at my formalness but gave me a small smile. He said holding out his hand," Arthur Weasley. This is my wife Molly, the twins Fred and George. My youngest son Ron and our daughter Ginny. We have one more son but he's getting new robes for becoming head boy. Are you going to Hogwarts?" I said scratching the back of my neck," Unfortunately. I was dragged away from my duties to give this school I chance."

Recognition brightened Arthur's face like a lightbulb went off. He said stuttering slightly," Your Harry Potter. I heard Albus had finally found you." I growled and said," I haven't gone by that name since I left Britain. I prefer the name Tatara gave me. Which is as I said earlier Wolf."

In that moment Remus walked in tucking a package into his cloak. He paid Olivevander and was extremely distracted by something for he didn't even acknowledge Arthur when he was greeted. Instead he pulled me down towards the robes shop and said," I'll wait out here for you to be done. Due to my furry little problem I'm not exactly welcome in there." I gave him a small smile before walking in.

The owner on the shop looked up from where she was hemming robes on a red haired boy. Remembering what Arthur said I greeted with a slightly friendly tone," You must be Percy. I met you parents and brothers at Olivevander's." The older boy smiled and said," Yes I'm Percy Weasley Head Boy at Hogwarts." His smile turned into a frown for a moment before saying," You look a little old to be a first year. What house are you in?"

I shook my head and said," I've been out of country most of my life. I only found out I was a wizard a few days ago. I turn 13 in a few weeks." Percy looked like he was trying to decipher a puzzle when he stared at me. Finally he shrugged and said," There are four houses in Hogwarts. They are Gryffindor the brave, Hufflepuff the loyal, Ravenclaw the smart, and Slytherin the cunning. Each house has a different dorm and Head of House. I'm in Gryffindor our head of house is Professor McGonagall."

I sat down listening to his explanations of the houses and there heads. Percy seemed nice enough and willing to share what he knew. Too soon Madame Malkin said," All done Mr. Weasley." Percy thanked her before saying to me," If you have any questions at all or need help send me an owl. Even if your not a Gryffindor I'll lend you a hand."

I smiled and said politely," Thank you Percy. See you at Hogwarts." He smiled genuinely before he left the shop. It didn't take long for Madame Malkin to get me my robes and uniforms. When I left the shop Remus was nowhere in sight. The air felt itself felt electrically charged as if something was going to happen.

Looking around I saw nothing out of the ordinary but the feeling would not go away. I placed my hand on the hilt of my sword expanding my awareness so I could feel the subtle changes in auras around me. There it was subtle but red aura was coming from around the corner. A member of HOMRA was near.

I ran and turned the corner surprised to find more than half the clan cornering Remus. I drew my knives and yelled angrily," By order of the first vanguard of HOMRA leave that man alone." In surprise they all turned to look at me one caught my eye. Izumo what in the hell was he doing here?

Izumo stepped forward looking me over with a critical eyes trying to discern whether I was wounded. He sighed in relief and said," You're okay. When Reisi told us of the unbreakable vow he made we didn't exactly agree with it. He left a loophole that Scepter 4 wouldn't interfere but said nothing about us."

I snorted trying to hold back my laughter and said," Leave it to Reisi to leave a backup plan and get away with it." Looking back at the still cornered Remus I asked my tone turning serious," Why are you here?"

Izumo sighed and said," To kill the kidnapper and bring you home." I felt all the blood drain from my face. They were going to kill Remus! My tone turned deadly and my eyes as cold as ice as I said," You will not lay a finger on him Izumo." Izumo's demeanor changed in an instant from his usual open carefree to his angry form. I could feel the anger radiating off him and sparks of red aura started to jump off of him. I had touched a nerve by refusing him a fight.

He said his eyes flashing between blue and red as his aura fought against his control," It is not you choice Wolf. Orders come straight from Mikoto. The man is to die." I growled feeling my own auras push to the surface," As long as I live you will not harm him. Even if I have to fight all of you. Remember Izumo only a king can kill a King."

Izumo's face betrayed his shock at my words. I was willing to die or kill members of my own clan. He asked his face now showing hurt and confusion," What changed from a few days ago?" I looked back at Remus and said," I did. Reisi is right this opportunity won't come again and I need to put my past behind me. This will allow me to do just that."

Izumo's eyes were still hard but I knew he understood. Every clansmen when they choose to follow a king has to put their past behind them knowing that once they would never return to the world they once knew. Izumo shook his head and said," Its not your decision Wolf. Mikoto has given the order and as a clansmen you must obey." My eyes too grew hard and I said placing my hand on my sword," You forget Izumo. I serve two kings. Emergency sword release."

I drew my blade not taking my eyes off of Izumo. Remus' eyes were upon me he had heard the whole conversation and knew I was risking everything to protect him. Without waiting for them to react I pushed my way to stand in front of Remus forcing my blue aura to make a protective shield around us. I said to him making the shield smaller so that it only protected him," Don't leave the shield. I'll protect you."

I could tell by the look on his face that was the last thing he was expecting. Yata stepped forward glaring at me and said his anger getting the better of him," You choose an outside over your own clan! Why what's so important about him?" I growled and said," Because he can answer questions that no one else can. Including the other kings."

Yata roared bringing out his baseball bat that he used for battling other clans. I blocked his initial swing with my sword before kicking him in the stomach sending him spiraling towards the crowd. The rest of the clan rushed at me. I was not used to fighting HOMRA on my own. Normally I would fight in my wolf form but I couldn't maintain that form and a blue shield at the same time.

I kicked away another member then immediately had to dodge away from fireballs sent at me by Izumo. I growled at him and he just gave me a grin. I thought glaring at the man," One of these days I'll wipe that smug look off your face." In my moment of distraction Yata had jumped for me about to break my head open with his bat. I slipped backwards and hit the ground hard.

Several members chose that moment to grab my arms and legs pinning me to the ground. Yata sat on my chest while I fought the others with all my strength. Izumo said triumphantly," Give it up Wolf. You can't fight us all." I snarled," Watch me." He sighed disappointed that I continued to fight him.

Deep down though I knew he was right I wasn't prepared to face my fellow clansmen. My blue aura alone wasn't enough to save Remus. I tilted my head so that I could see him and the different members trying to break the shield. I knew it would hold for log under their on slot. I focused on my red aura forcing it to the surface causing my skin to heat up and burn those holding me.

They let go with yelps and Yata jumped up off my chest growling. I pushed myself to my feet and was about to say something when I felt a much more powerful jolt of aura. Looking up I saw what I feared the most where HOMRA clansmen were their king wasn't far behind. In the sky there was the Red Sword of Damocles in all of its glory. I looked around trying to spot Mikoto in the crowd but I couldn't see him.

Then I saw a rush of red heading right for my badly damaged shield around Remus. Acting on instinct I rushed through the shield placing myself in front of the attacker.
