Disclaimer: You know the drill. Don't own never will.
Sorry about the lack of update but moving from the dorms all the back home is a total bitch. But I have decided to change my update dates. To what i'm not sure but I still will be updating twice a week.

Chapter 11: Werewolves and Bonds Part 1
"Remus!"
"May I come in Severus?"
Severus got out of the way and let him in. He made his self comfortable on the chair across the fire. Severus closed the portrait and sat on the couch. Severus could do nothing but stare at the man. 11 years. Where has he been? Severus called his elf and he brought some tea for them. He fixed both of their teas in silence and handed one over to Remus. They kept silent for a few minutes until one of them decided to talk.
"I got an owl from Minerva a few hours ago. She mentions that you rescued Harry from his relatives and that tonight Albus tried to put the Imperious Curse on the Sorting Hat." He stopped to sip his tea. He looked over to Severus. "Care to explain why?" he said calmly.
Severus stayed silent for awhile. Should he tell the werewolf and risk him losing his mind. But he has the right to know Severus. He is his second godfather. Severus sighed. Here we go. Severus recounted the tale to Remus leaving nothing out. Even about what happened tonite. Surprisingly the werewolf sat there calmed. This worried Severus.
"Excuse me Severus, I have some business to attend to." Remus got up from the chair and left slowly and calmly just as he came in. Severus narrowed his eyes. He took that well. Then he replayed Remus' words over again. I have some business to attend to. Then he realized just what business Remus had to attend to.
"Oh shit!" He ran over to his fireplace and fire called Minerva. After a few seconds her head appeared in the flames. "Remus is headed to the Headmaster's office." She didn't need anymore information and quickly put on her robe and left her rooms. Severus did the same. They met up by the Gargoyle in front of the headmaster's office as it was closing.
"Lemon drops." Minerva said and both Severus and she quickly ran up the stars two at a time. They opened the door to his office but there was no sign of Remus or the headmaster. "Bedroom!" Minerva said. They went to the back of the office and up the stars until they saw the door they were looking for.
Opening the door they saw Remus standing over the sleeping smiling Headmaster's body with his wand pointed at his heart.
"Cru.."
"Expelliarmus!" Severus whispered. Remus' wand was thrown over to the other side of the room. Remus turned around looking at Severus and Minerva, shock written all over his face.
"Accio Remus Lupin's wand." The wand flew from the floor the Severus waiting hands. Minerva took a few steps forward towards the werewolf. "Come Remus." she said calmly. "We need to talk." He nodded his head and Minerva led him out of the room. Severus took one last look at the headmaster. A sneer crossed his face. If only he could do the same thing, but then while rotting in Azkaban for life Harry would be unprotected. He left the room swiftly and shut the door behind him. He went back to his room to find Minerva and Remus waiting on him. He sat on the couch next to Minerva and waited for Remus to react.
Remus sat in the chair and stared at the fire. He then fixed himself another cup of tea. And with one swift motion of his arm everything on the table was thrown on the floor. Both Severus and Minerva gasped but did nothing. Remus went back to drinking his tea.
"We got to get him out of here. If the Deatheaters don't get to him then surely Albus Dumbledore will." Remus said.
"It's best that he stays here under my protection Remus. Harry already knows not to trust him. I told him to never be alone with him. Plus he won't hurt Harry. He needs his weapon. The only thing he could do is to try to force Harry into Gryffindor and Harry has already made his choice that he wants to stay in Slytherin. No offense Minerva."
"None taken Severus. I just want him to be safe and if Slytherin is the safest place for him then so be it." she said.
He nodded and looked to Remus. "Right now we are trying to find a way for Harry not go back to those muggles, but I doubt Albus would let him go with me and with your condition Remus I doubt he'll let you have Harry as well. Even with the Wolvesbane." Remus took his tea cup and threw it against the wall. This made both Minerva and Severus jump at the unexpected reaction.
There was soft knock at the portrait that startled even Remus. "If that's who I think it is then I won't hesitate to blow him through a wall." Severus rolled his eyes and went to the portrait. Opening it revealed a worried looking Harry Potter.

"Harry?" he whispered. At that Minerva stood up and she and Remus walked to the portrait opening. "Harry what's the matter,
did you have a bad dream?" He shook his head and looked at Minerva and Remus...especially at Remus.
"You seemed upset, scared. I came down to check on you to see if you are alright." Severus looked at Remus and Minerva confused.
"Harry how did you know I was upset."
"I felt it."
Severus, Remus, and Minerva could only stare at him. "Come on Harry." and Severus took his hand and led Harry in the living room. Minerva and Remus followed. Harry sat beside him on the couch while Remus and Minerva took the took chairs.
"Remus does empathic abilities run in his family."
Remus shook his head. "As far as I know James nor Lily were empaths."
Severus nodded and tried for another explanation. "Harry can you feel any emotions of Professor McGonagall or Mr. Lupin?"
Harry shook his head. "No, only yours."
Uh oh. "Harry what am I feeling now?"
"You're feeling shock, amazement, and a little fear." Remus and Minerva's jaw hit the floor. Severus could only stare at Harry.
Harry turned to look at Remus Lupin. "You look familiar."
Taken back all Remus could do was blink.
"Are you a werewolf?" he asked. Then he look horrified. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that. I know you must think i'm delusional."
Remus took a deep breath. "You're right Harry I am a werewolf. I was bitten by a werewolf and infected with lycanthropy."
Harry nodded his head. "Oh..who's the dog?" At this Remus turned away with a pained look in his eyes. Severus bowed his head down. "Ah Harry, Severus started, why don't we tell you about that later. Right now it's time for bed. Since it's too late to go back to the dorms then you will stay here tonight." He led Harry from the living room to his bedroom and tucked him in his bed and gave him a kiss on his forehead. Harry was out like a light. He returned to the living room to see Remus pouring Firewiskey into three glasses. "I think we all need this." He handed a glass to Severus and Minerva. Each went to sit down in their seats.
"How? How did Harry bond himself to you?" Remus said starting the conversation.
Severus took a sip of his drink. "I have no idea. I didn't think it was possible without a ritual.
"It is impossible without a ritual unless you and Harry are..."
"No! This is not possible Remus!"
"Then what's another reason Severus. Either you or Harry did a ritual to bound yourselves to each other or..."
"Shut it Wolf!"
"Or you and Harry are in fact soulmates." he finished.

I didn't expect Harry to be in this chapter nor about the bond being revealed. It was only suppose to be about Remus reaction to the news. But I guess my fingers have a life of their own.
Next Chapter: Continuation of Werewolves and Bonds.
