Chapter 11. . " Hopes and Misery"

A week after chapter 10…

Harri sat in the dining room by herself. Lucius and Remus were still sulking. She had hoped that they would react but they hadn't and it was getting on her nerves. She finished breakfast and picked up some owls that had arrived that morning and went outside to read. She passed Lucius along the way but ignored him.

Harri sat in the garden with a wrap around her and opened the owls.

The first one was from Hermione.

Dear Harri,

I hope things are going well with you and your husbands…can't believe I just wrote that. So are you pregnant…you should be, right? When will you know? I have been researching the multi-spouse topic and have found very little information written on it. So I was hoping you'd be able to shed some light on some things…they can be of a very private nature so you don't have to answer my questions. I hope you will though.

I tried to get a hold of the healer that diagnosed you but he seems to have disappeared because I've sent him several owls and they have all come back… I haven't given up though.

We'll be getting a three day weekend but I'll be staying in Hogwarts since my parents won't be home. That's all for now, take care and write back.

Hermonie.

The second letter was from Ronald.

Hi Harri,

How are things? I'm sorry about the mess at the Manor but those snobby bastards had it coming talking about you and the Professor the way they did! Anyway just wanted to say sorry. I know the Professor is probably taking great care of you so I'm not worried about Malfoy wanting to make your life miserable.

Your Friend,

Ron.

The Professor taking care of me? Not bloody likely! She whispered wiping her eyes roughly.

The third letter was from Hogwarts school of Wizardry

Lady Malfoy-Lupin

We received your request concerning information on possible school books that can be used in home schooling your children before their enrollment to Hogwarts. We can not fulfill your request for such information because it is school policy not to allow the enrollment of half breeds such as werewolves to Hogwarts. As you know werewolves have an extremely violent nature and they may be dangerous to the well being of other students.

We wish to inform you now so that you can make other arrangements for your children's education.

Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster.

Harri crupled the last owl in her hand. She wasn't going to cry! She wasn't going to cry! She murmured walking to the hill. She wouldn't think of it! Her children didn't need Hogwarts!

an hour later….

"Well I'll be damned!" Greyback half shouted startling Harri.

"Oh Gosh it's you!" Harri smiled wrapping her arms around herself. It was starting to get cold. Soon it'd start snowing.

"Yup the one and only!" Greyback smiled walking over to the petite girl.

"I swear I don't know what'll happen to me when you and the pack leave."

"I'M SURE YOU'LL BE GLAD TO SEE US GO!"

"NO, I WON'T." Harri said mournfully.

"What's wrong Harriet?" Greyback asked worriedly. The girl was not looking good.

"It's not working Fenrir…" Harri whispered sadly.

"They're still being pig headed."

"Very much."

"Stupid Gits!"

"I'm, so lonely…I…I…" Harri blushed slightly.

"You what Harri?"

"I need them Fenrir." She murmured looking embarrassed.

Uh uh! "Need them as in …need them?" he looked down at her.

"Yup that need them." She admitted blushing.

"You feel it?"

"A lot."

"Then they feel it too…and more I'm sure."

"You think so?"

"I know so!"

"So what do I do?"

"You hold off till they break. I'm thinking Moony might give in first."

"Why?"

"He's a werewolf. We have very little will power when it comes to our mates."

"Really?"

"Yeah it' a curse." He whispered in mock secrecy.

"Don't worry I won't tell." She whispered back, "but how do I go about it…"

"First, you need to get your mind of things…you're pregnant right?"

"Yes, twins."

"A litter! Excellent! You have to think about the pups…get things ready for them. Have someone help you!"

"Yes I see what you mean. I guess I've been dwelling on things to much. Maybe Hermione can come and stay the weekends with me?"

"Her- who?"

"Hermione…she's a great friend…you might remember her from the wedding, brown hair, really smart came with her father."

"Can't say I do but there were so many people!"

"I think I'll invite Luna too!"

"Luna, lovely name it means Moon …the name of the Goddess."

…………………..

Hours later….

Harri sat down feeling much better and began writing to her friends. She'd have them over and they would have a great time decorating the nursery. They'd go shopping and dine out. It would be so much fun!

…………..

Lucius was going over some papers from his attorneys when he noticed Harri standing by the door.

"Are you busy?"

"The usual." He answered shifting in his seat.

"I wanted to have some friends over this weekend."

"Is that so?"

"Yes…Hermione and Luna…Luna Lovegood." Harri felt slightly dizzy, she hadn't been in Lucius' presence for about a week and it was making her feel odd. Probably the bond, she thought.

Lucius tried breathing, counting backwards, tapping his quill, biting his lip to control his emotions but it wasn't working and he knew he'd lose it if Harri did not give in soon.

"They'll be staying in my wing."

"Oh." Lucius mumbled looking down. He felt his hands staring to shake.

"Anyway I just wanted to let you know."

"And so you have," in his need to keep his emotions controlled Lucius spoke a little harsher than he had meant to. Harri simply nodded and walked away hurt by her husband's brusque manner.

000000000000000000000000

Minutes later….

Harri found Remus working on a potion in his wing of the Manor.

Remus had smelled Harri coming towards him long before he heard her…her scent teasing the werewolf inside him.

"Remus?" Harri called entering the room Moony had turned into a Potions lab.

"Yes Harri?" he asked without looking up. Her scent was intoxicating; he started mixing the potion for the simple reason that he had to give his hands something to do. Oh Goddess she was coming into the room. He mixed faster.

Harri cleared her throat and walked into the room. "I just wanted to tell you that Hermione and Luna are going to be staying with me for the weekend."

"Good!" Remus murmured still not looking at her.

Harri swallowed feeling a warmth spread throughout her body. Great Lucius made her dizzy and Remus made her hot. Couldn't something in her life be normal? Harri put her hand over his arm lightly. She wanted to talk to him…she wanted him to kiss her… "I wanted-"

The slight touch sent shivers through him. Goddess did she know what her touch was doing to him? "Was that all Harri? I need to concentrate." He murmured walking away from her.

Harri pulled her arm back and watched Remus turn his back on her and gather some ingredients from an adjoining table. "No. That was…sorry to have interrupted you, won't happen again." She whispered walking out of the room quickly.

0000000000000000000000

Days later….

Hermione and Luna were able to make it that weekend and listened to poor Harri. Luna advised her to cast a get along spell on the pair, while Hermione made a list of the facts and promised to do a study on the pair to come up with a strategy that would better help Harri deal with her husbands' attitudes. Harri smiled at their different takes on her problem.

"So this is where you're staying?" Luna asked rubbing the fabric of the curtains on her cheek while she smiled dreamily.

"Yes…"

"It's pretty. The grounds look beautiful." Hermione exclaimed looking out the window.

"They are. Hey! Would you like to meet Fenrir Greyback?"

"The Alpha?" Luna asked looking at her oddly.

"Yeah. Lets' go." Hermione exclaimed excitedly.

00000000000000000000

They stood at the top of the hill looking down at the cottage. Greyback was outside talking to two other werewolves when he suddenly looked up Luna couldn't help but look at him in wonder. Just like her dream, she thought dazedly.

Greyback felt a shiver run down his back and looked up to see Harriet and two others. One of the girls was a tall brown haired girl…has to Hermione, he thought. The other was a willowy blonde with a dreamy face, a white almost translucent complexion and grey eyes. Luna the Goddess, he thought.

"We'll be having guests tonight alert the pack."

"Yes Greybcak. What about Snape?"

"Hold him in the dungeon until our guests are gone." The werewolf ordered over his back.

"Of course." The werewolves nodded and walked away but not before they stole one a glance at the willowy blonde.

00000000000000000000

Dinner was a gallant affair for the Pack. Everyone kept their feet of the table, hands out of each other plates, and growling to a minimum. But it was the least they could do; packs were rarely graced with a visit from the Goddess herself.

Hermione and Harri were baffled by the Pack's reaction towards Luna they seemed to be captivated by her. Greyback seemed to be going out his way to be attentive to the young girl. Luna would nod and smile at the pack. She seemed to be completely at ease with the group of werewolves. When dinner ended the trio was led to a medium sized hall where they were treated to some singing, dancing and of course some mock fighting. It was a great night for the three girls and they were sad to see it end.

"Greyback and Sunfire escorted them back. Sunfire was the Alpha's second and was chatting with Harri and Hermione pleasantly while Greyback and Luna trailed a little behind.

"You enjoyed the evening Little Goddess."

Luna smiled and nodded.

"You carry her mark." He said touching her almost platinum hair and her face lightly.

"She clouds my mind…I can't control what she says...the Goddess has a very unique nature and personality...I get lost inside."

"What a blessing to be so close!"

"My mother was a Priestess dedicated to her service… I was born on a full moon. Hence my name…the order wants me to join like my mother did but I don't want to."

"Why?"

"Things have changed since my mother died…you can't get married if you join the Order of the Moon anymore."

"Ah and you wish to marry?"

"One day…" She began but was suddenly overcome by a slight dizziness. Seconds later Luna blinked and looked at Greyback with a dreamy look on her face, "Did you know that Moonbeams can give you rashes?"

Fenrir smiled and nodded in understanding.

0000000000000000000000

The next day…

The trio left for Diagon Alley to buy some things for the nursery. Lucius and Remus had both left notes giving their permission. Harri traced Lucius' elegant swirls and Remus plain but graceful ones with her fingers. The action was not lost on Harri's companions who looked at their friend sadly.

"Come on Harri where should we go first?" Hermione asked.

"Well how about Blotts? I want to get some books on raising wizard and werewolf children." Harri suggested tucking the notes in her pocket.

"Good idea!"

0000000000000000000000000

at Blotts….

The trio entered the busy book shop and began browsing quietly. Hermione noticed the stares and hushed whispers first. Words like werewolf, Death Eater, half breeds reached Luna's ears seconds before they reached Harri.

Harri was holding a book on healing potions for babies when someone brushed by murmuring, "Werewolf bitch!" She turned around to see who would dare to insult her but the Wizard was out the door already. Ignorant bastard! She thought and slammed the book shut.

Hermione and Luna went to their friend's side. "Why don't we go somewhere else?"

Harri nodded knowing her friends had heard the comment.

"Sure. Let me just pay for this…I'd like to buy this book." Harri mumbled placing the book in front of the clerk.

The clerk looked at her rudely, "I'm sorry but we don't deal with Death Eaters."

"I'M NOT A DEATH EATER!"

"If you lie with dirt ..." The clerk sneered.

"How dare you!" Luna shouted at the clerk.

"Leave her alone!" A wizard who had been listening to the clerk called out putting the book he was reading down.

"A murderer is out because of her!" A witch called out from one of the aisles.

"Mother of half breeds!" Another witch shouted. "Little monsters!" Harri simply stared at the witch angryly, How dare she! How dare they!

"Harri let's go!" Hermione said grabbing her friend.

Harri's friends were pushing her out of the shop when she felt a cold sweat come over her and her rage slowly overwhelm her…

"Harri! Harri! Don't!" Hermione screamed as she shook her friend. Luna whimpered feeling Harri's magic begin lashing about. Hermione grabbed both her friends and concentrated trying to apparate them back to the Manor before a tragedy occurred.

0000000000000000000000000000

back at the Malfoy Manor...

Harri barely made it back before she collapsed between her friends.

"Harri!" Luna shrieked kneeling next to the petite girl.

"Stay with her! I'm getting the Professor and Lord Malfoy." Hermione ran and was half relieved to see Malfoy and the Professor running to meet her.

"HELP ME! HARRI! SHE COLLAPSED." She shouted running head of them.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" Lucius had felt a surge of anger and magic through their bond and knew somehting terrible had happened.

"SHE GOT ANGRY!"

"Angry?" Remus asked confused.

"I apparated the three of us back before something happened. They were awful to her!" Hermione whispered opening the door to Harri's chambers.

Luna sat in the middle of the floor singing to Harri who was biting her fist as she sobbed quietly. Luna looked up worried "I didn't know what to do."

"You did fine Ms. Lovegood. Please leave us." Malfoy reassured the girl and moved close to Harri.

Luna bit her lip and looked at Hermione who nodded. Careful so as not to disturb Harri she moved away leaving the distraught girl in the care of her husbands.

Harri was oblivious to her husbands and continued sobbing; she had wanted to kill them! To kill them all! She had murdered for them and they hated her! They hated her children! She wanted them dead! She thought curling up.

Let's move her to the bed." Lucius picked Harri up and deposited her in the middle of the bed. Harri immediately curled up and continued sobbing more violently

The wards in the house shook. And Malfoy looked up alarmed. He had recast the wards since Moody, no one would be getting in any time soon.

The wards shook more violently seconds later. "I'll go check. Stay with her."

Lupin nodded, he had felt Harri's anguish and had grabbed a pair of calming potions for which he felt grateful. The girl was in pretty bad shape.

Malfoy walked out of the room and saw Luna and Hermione standing nervously by.

"Come with me ladies." The wards shook again.

"Someone is anxious to enter the Manor."

"It's the Ministry!"

"What happened? I want details."

Hermione took a deep breath and told him everything! The blonde wizard did not say anything but both girls could tell that furious did not begin to describe the Lord's feelings.

000000000000000000000000

Minutes later...

"Mr. Moody back so soon!"

"Where is she?" The Auror demanded looking around the room.

"Who?"

"Luna go get Greyback." Hermione whispered. Luna froze and then smiled before she slipped out unnoticed.

"The Potter Girl!"

"My wife, Lady Malfoy is resting!"

"She's under arrest!" Hermione gasped, Arrest! Oh Merlin no! Not Harri!

"Arrest! Not bloody likely!" Lucius thundered at the Auror.
