The next morning Harry awoke to the sounds of snuffling and quickly opened his eyes and saw that Katie –the light red colored wolf- was sniffing at Harry's sleeping form and Harry quickly raised his head. Katie then quickly withdrew her large head and looked sadly at Harry; but Harry just gave Katie a stern glare and she quickly averted her eyes.

'Good, she still knows who's Alpha' Thought Harry and then he noticed that she was watching his chest rise and fall slowly so he quickly stood and approached her. Harry also noticed that the closer he moved towards her the more she started to shake, and when he was only a few steps away she stepped back.

But Harry, who had longer strides, just took one large step and was standing right up next to her, this just scared Katie though. She began to shake almost violently and Harry noticed that he was almost twice as big as she was. Katie never looked up at Harry and jumped slightly when he began licking her cheek in an almost fatherly way.

So when Harry stopped he looked over at Katie who had finally stopped shaking and was now watching Harry with interest. Harry however just lay down in the spot he had been in previously and looked from Katie to the spot next to him and when she finally understood she slowly walked over and curled up next to Harry's warm body.

Then Harry just laid his head down in front of him and fell asleep again slightly more comfortable then before because the presence next to him. Though he would rather it be Hermione but he couldn't be near her for while, so he gave the newly turned wolf slight comfort. Then the younger female just raised her head and watched Harry before laying her head down and falling asleep.

But to Harry's discomfort the 'nap' didn't last long because he was soon awakened by a slamming of doors and a quiet gasp followed by another scream. So he quickly opened his eyes and looked around seeing the other wolves pressed up against the back wall away from the door and Harry.

Harry quickly stood up and looked around to see Death Eaters bringing Brittany and Hermione into the cell with the other wolves. But they threw the 2 women into the cell and slammed the door shut behind them and walked away laughing. But Harry became suddenly alert when Hermione pulled Brittany back into a corner watching the young wolves.

So Harry quickly stole a glance at the 2 women before turning on the wolves, all whom had gotten up and were growling while slowly approaching the girls. But Harry quickly jumped to stand in front of them and growled back at the cubs, who looked appalled that Harry was protecting them.

Still, several of the wolves took another step forward and Harry snapped towards them which caused them to stop completely and just whine towards Harry then turning away. So Harry turned to look at the women and saw that Brittany had buried her face into Hermione's shoulder and was crying silently.

Harry then cautiously walked towards them and saw Hermione turn to Brittany and whisper to her quietly and Brittany start to nod before pulling her head from Hermione's shoulder and look down at Harry. But when she saw Harry, in his wolf form she gasped quietly and Harry let her calm down slightly before approaching her making Brittany take a step backwards in fear.

Harry just continued forward until he was an arm's length from the young woman and sat down staring at her and whined once at her. So she hesitantly raised a hand out and patted his head and he pushed his head into her hand. Then Harry could feel Brittany relax as she began petting his dense, black fur and soon she slid down the stone wall and began scratching behind his ears.

Harry just walked around to sit on the other side of Brittany, away from Hermione and lay his head on Brittany's lap still allowing her to pet him. But soon Brittany fell asleep, her head on against her chest so Harry slowly stood up and approached Hermione who had gotten up and sat down on the cot.

"Go away Harry..." Hermione whispered but Harry continued to approach before he jumped up on the cot beside her and licked her cheek gently. But Hermione just shoved him away.

"I said 'No' Harry...leave me alone" she said but Harry wasn't taking no for an answer and kept nudging her slightly until finally Hermione stood up off the cot and stared at him.

"Harry, you don't get it do you?! You did something that is irreversible! You can't...you can't just do that and expect me to be OK with it..." Hermione yelled at him before smacking him across the face. But Harry knew he deserved it and just slowly turned his head back to look at her and jumped off the cot and faced the wall giving her a clear shot.

But while Harry wasn't looking Hermione turned into her animagus form and before he ever ready she bit hard into his shoulder making his front leg collapse as he fell to the floor. And immediately the young wolves stood up, ready to protect their alpha when Harry sent them a warning growl and they sat back down unsurely and watched.

Hermione continued to bite, scratch, and do anything she possibly could to Harry for at least 20 minutes before Harry lie on the ground bleeding slightly when he felt, and heard her change back to human. Harry just continued to lay there and he felt several tears spill out of his eyes as he heard his wife sobbing as she weakly pounded her fists against his side as she laid her head into his fur still sobbing.

So Harry slowly stood up, whining at his injuries and lay his head on Hermione's shoulder and pressed his body against her as best as possible. But she just wrapped her arms around his body and buried her head into his shoulder and cried more, but Harry's large body towered over Hermione's small, frail human form; so, as Hermione continued to cry and Harry stood up and walked around Hermione before maneuvering himself under her and picking her up on his back and wincing slightly at the weight on his back.

However he ignored it and continued walking forward slowly, and carefully as to keep Hermione on his back and not fall off onto the cold hard stone. So after a minute of careful movement and made it to the cot and placed Hermione onto it and she slid herself from his back to the cot and curled up still crying slightly. Harry just frowned slightly and reached over and licked her on the cheek before turning back and walking towards the other wolves; but at the sound of his nails clicking on the stone Hermione reached out and grabbed his tail to hold him back.

"Please stay" she whispered and Harry turned back and gave a wolfy smile and licked her on the cheek in reassurance and she let go and Harry looked from her to the other wolves then back at her and she nodded.

"Please, just please hurry back" she said and Harry just nodded, showing that he understood and walked back to the other wolves. But when he finally approached them again there was something different about them, he could somehow 'feel' them. Feel their emotions, but that wasn't what stopped Harry; what stopped him was that he could hear their thoughts; at least he could hear them when they are in wolf form.

Though what Harry heard was still mostly shocked thoughts from all of them but he didn't blame them. Their lives had just been permanently changed forever. But he continued to approach them slowly and they looked up at him as he approached most of them however climbed over each other trying to get away from him. He finally protected his thoughts out to touch their conscious's.

"Leave them be…" he told them and they all stopped moving and stared at him scared. "That is what they want, they want you to make your first kill and kill them. But believe me you don't want that on your soul, now I promise you all; we WILL get out of here and you can go back to normal lives, or as normal as you can be."

Then Harry went silent and looked at them, waiting on them and then one of the larger males slowly nodded his elongated head in clear understanding. And he nodded once back once before thinking out to them once more.

"Now I am going back to them, you are to stay with each other until I tell you otherwise..." the wolf cubs again just nodded, and he turned his back and approached Hermione again who had fallen asleep on the cot and was snoring ever so softly. Harry just smiled to himself inside slightly and lay down beside the cot so as not to wake her. And like that they all fell asleep, even the young wolf Pups.

A couple hours later when he awoke he found that the sun was gone, leaving them in dim, flickering torch light. But he soon jumped to his feet after scanning the room; his cubs were gone. Voldemort must have sent his death eaters down while they were sleeping to collect them.

Harry's heart immediately began to race and he paced around the room his nose to the floor trying to determine where it was they had been taken and why he hadn't woken. Soon he began to whimper quietly his nails clicking and skidding on the stone which woke up Hermione.

His wife saw Harry's distress and got up as quickly as she could and went over to Harry. She started to calm him down as best as she could, after seeing that the whites of his eyes where showing and his eyes were also darting around the room franticly.

Hermione knew what was wrong and did her best to help, but Harry's mind was elsewhere, and soon he began barking and howling; jumping up on the door. Causing his barks to echo over the stone wall, and Brittany to wake.

Though Brittany was suddenly scared and pressed her back against the wall staring at Harry.

"Is he okay?" she asked Hermione in a worried tone.

"I really don't know, dear" Hermione said her eyes sad.

But after 20 minutes on non-stop barking they were both starting to get headaches and Hermione walked up to Harry holding shut his muzzle. Harry however just shook his head violently enough to release it and continue with his barking.

And soon it was apparent that it was hear throughout the castle where they were, because after 30 minutes 2 death eaters came down glaring into the cell at him. Harry, lept at the door again snarling fiercly at the sight of the 2 masked men causing them to jump back.

But one withdrew a want and shot a red spell at Harry to fall back to the stone floor, stunned, with a whine. Hermione jumped up about to run over to his side but the death eaters started to open the door.

"Stay where you are mud-blood" one of them barked at her and she froze. And while he was keeping Hermione and Brittany where they were the other death eater approached the stunned wolf with a wicked grin.

The man once again withdrew his wand on Harry before he shot out another spell that was gold only this one solidified and wrapped itself over Harry's nose and head forming a muzzle with a leash. Hermione just sat down with Brittany on the cot and looked at her husband worried.

When the Death Eater grabbed the leash end and pulled hard on it, after reviving him from the stunning spell he kicked Harry once.

"Get up Wolf...your Master wants to see you" he said with a snarl and Harry stood up shakily and looked around and when his eyes fell onto the death eater he growled and lunged at the man.

But the second death eater quickly heard the growling and turned away from Hermione and shot Harry with a white jet of light that caused him to fall to the ground again.

Harry just continued to growl but didn't jump at the men again, instead the man started pulling him from the cell while the other walked out the door.

"Come on Wolf...time to go" one said tugging at the leash with all his might, but Harry was still trying to walk against it towards Hermione, whimpering.

Hermione, however, didn't move too scared but she wanted to reach out to her husband. Finally though, the second death eater grabbed onto the leash and began to pull with the first and soon they got Harry out of the cell which the door then was quickly shut and locked.

And with that they started to drag Harry up the small flight of stairs and over the marble floor of the main hall. But seeing a small opening, Harry began running in all different directions trying to break free of their grasps. It seemed as though it was working until the second death eater became annoyed and summoned a second leash off the muzzle and began directing him towards a door off to the left.

Harry was too used to being pulled into a separate door that he began struggling more but the more he struggled the harder and quicker the pulled him to the door. And within moments they had reached it.

But what was inside caused Harry to stop struggling momentarily before he resumed 3 times as fierce.

His pups were laying on the floor, bloody and mangled and only 2 remained...Voldemort had turned the pups against each other...
