So Remus and Helena will be meeting this chapter. Probably long awaited and I'm sorry that it took so long. I was toying with a few ideas on why he is so protective of her and why he might claim Helena as "His cub." I think I finally settled on James being an absent father and not really loving or caring for Helena only for her mother Lilly. We know that Lilly loved her and I always felt that Remus and Lilly would have had a deep and close friendship hence him kind of taking over as a father. However I won't go into that detail till later on. Just hashing out a plan. Never the less Harry Potter doesn't belong to me and never will. As such any Oc's are mine and I will put descriptors of them at the end of the first chapter they first appear in if they will be reoccurring characters. In this chapter the concept if feathers will be brushed over and will be gone into deeper at a later date.

Enjoy the story.

(Remus's point of view)

Goblins were in many ways amazing. After healing me and releasing everything that bound me, something that greatly pleased and relaxed the wolf despite the pain, they carefully took stock of the feathers that were destroyed during the healing and brought me new ones to replace them smiling grimly understanding the meanings of the spotted woodpecker threaded through the hair at the base of my neck. It was deeply appreciated and definitely earned them even more favor from me, that respect was rarely shown by others, only adding to what the healing of my cub brought them.

My Cub. The poor thing was still unconscious three days after her healing and I worried for her. After all I awoke the day after mine. She would probably need a new name. Definitely new clothes and books and hopefully she would accept some soft toys. She looks so thin and sickly compared to the healthy child she once was. Thinking of all she had been through caused rage to flood my body from the wolf and myself.

"My Cub. Wont let anyone hurt you again." I growled softly. Suprised I saw her eyelids flicker at my words. Excitedly I rang the small bell next to her bed to alert the nurses not wanting to leave her side. ~She's waking up! Cub is Waking up!~ The wolf seemed to howl happily. We both purred happily as her eyes flickered open revealing stormy grey and green eyes.

"Cub? You remember me?"

(Helena's pov)

Cub? You remember me?

I heard the man in front of me speck and a warm familiar comfort seemed to fill me at his words. He had pretty mouse brown/red hair and golden eyes. He felt safe. I remembered him somewhat. Siri? No. Uncle Paddy had black hair.

"Moony" I crooned softly voice raspy from disuse and screaming. The M- No. Moony quickly held a straw to my lips letting me drink cool water to sooth my sore throat. I gave a small whine as my stomach rumbled scared I was going to get in trouble only to be surprised as a look of sorrow crossed his face.

"Sweetie? Were you punished for eating at your aunts?" Moony asked. His voice seemed sad and choked. I hesitantly nodded and to my surprise he snarled angry, but, seemingly not at me. I slowly relaxed being around him and drifted off again just as a nurse came in and fell into a restful peaceful sleep finally free of deadly sickly green light and screams.

I seemed to fall in and out of wakefulness for that day and the next. Pain was a near constant companion when awake and so was Moony. He was quick to defend me and protect me. I felt like he truly loved me and he continued to prove that he does. i felt safe because of him. I have vague memories of mommy and father and Moony got mad when the one time I was awake long enough to tell him what I had been told about how mommy and father died. I wish I could have staid awake long enough to learn the truth but I felt happy. He truly cares about me.

the simple words: "Dursleys house isn't home anymore. Can I stay with you Moony?" were my last words before drifting off again much to his evident happiness.

(Dumbledore's POV)

In the last three days the trinkets attuned to Helena and Remus had slowly gone haywire and a few had flat out stopped working not that the old man noticed. Besides not all had worked in the first place even if he didn't know that. On the fourth day everything tied to Helena and Remus suddenly stopped working, shattered then went up in flames much to his dismay. Immediately he called Severus and McGonagal into his office and expressed the need to check in on Helena despite never having done so in the past.

For reference till I put up the list of feather languages along with other stuff Spotted woodpecker is feeling uncomfortable and challenged and stressed.
