This is an idea I had when I remembered my love of the RPG series 'Werewolf: The Apocalypse'. Specifically the many different 'Changing Breeds' beyond those of Werewolves. So without further a due on to the Chapter.

Chapter 1

Harry was running through the forest trying to get away from Professor Lupin who had changed into his Werewolf form due to the Full Moon. He was also dragging Hermione along by the hand so that they wouldn't get caught and mauled by the Professor.

As they were running, they could hear the Professor's howls as he got closer and closer to them. At that moment Harry felt Hermione's hand slip from his.

He stumbled a few feet, before he turned around and saw her on the ground. As she struggled to get up, they heard Professor Lupin howl again, but this time it was closer than ever.

When they looked in the direction they heard it from, they saw the Professor about a hundred yards away and closing in on them fast.

Harry looked on in horror realizing that if he didn't do anything Hermione would be mauled and possibly killed. Before he could even really think he ran towards Hermione to try and protect her while yelling as loud as he could.

He got to her at the same time as Professor Lupin and yelled at him so loudly that it sounded like a roar.

The Professor actually skidded to a stop when Harry did this. He then turned around and ran away faster than they thought possible.

Harry stepped back and turned to Hermione who was looking up at him with awe on her face. It was then that he realized that he was looking down at her. That shouldn't have been possible, because he had always been shorter than everyone else. He then lifted his one of his hands in front of his face and what he saw frightened him. His hand had turned into a that of a bears' crossed with his own.

"Harry, you are so magnificent looking," Hermione said as she walked towards him.

Harry looked at her and started to back away, "Don't come near me. I don't want to infect you," he said in a very gravelly voice.

"You wont infect me, Harry. This isn't the same thing as Professor Lupin's lycanthropy. You were born like this. It's in your DNA and not a disease," she told him in as reassuring a tone as she could.

"How do you even know that?" he asked her in confusion.

Hermione took a deep breath before she answered, "It's because my family are what is known as Kinfolk. We are Humans who know of the Fera."

"What are the Fera?" Harry asked still confused.

"Fera are what we call those of the Natural born Changing Breeds. They are not the same as what Professor Lupin is, before you ask. There are many different kinds. You are a Gurahl, a Werebear, and you are so handsome," she told him as she reached out and stroked his upper arm.

All he could do was stare at her in shock as she petted him without fear, but with affection. He then asked, "Do you know how I can turn back?"

"Yes, my parents told me if I ever meet a Fera who went through their first change. All you have to do is concentrate on what you looked like before and you should be able to change back," she answered him.

Harry closed his eyes and started to concentrate on what he could remember he looked like. After a few seconds he felt himself start to shrink. When he opened his eyes, he was looking at Hermione. He then smiled at her, "Thanks Hermione. Can you tell me more about all of this?" he asked her while motioning to himself.

"I will when we have more time. Though my parents would be able to tell you more. Right now we need to save you and Sirius," she told him as they headed off towards the direction that they had last seen them.
