Authors Notes: Finally back at Harry, let me know your thoughts.
"Honorable, trustworthy, bonded." the three words relayed over in Harry's head as they marched towards Winterfell with its huge castle complex spanning several acres and protected by two massive walls Harry admired as he ran next to the dire wolf who stopped abruptly.
"What is it girl" Harry barked to the dire wolf in his Animagus form which stopped and turned to face her, when he noticed her tummy bulging rather oddly, and that water had melted away the snow from behind her he knew the babies were coming.
Harry run off quickly towards Eddard who had stopped further up the track when the others turned Harry shifted back into his human form landing on his two feet sending gravel every where as he skidded up to Eddards horse.
"Lord Eddard, the dire wolf won't make it back in time to Winterfell, she is about to have them now," Harry breathlessly said as Eddard dismounted off his horse the dire wolf approached them and collapsed on her side.
Eddard and Harry ran over to the dire wolf as the others quickly reared their horse back over to them " What going on, is she hurt Bran said as looked over Harry cradling her massive head in his tiny arms.
She whimpered in pain as Eddard checked the bulging belly making Harry scared of the fact he didn't want these pups without a mother so speaking with steel in his voice.
"Lord Stark with your permission I can Aperate to Winterfell with you and the dire wolf, and we can save her " Harry locked eyes with Eddard as he looked oddly at Harry, " Aperate? what is that Ser Potter" as he walked up next to Harry who was calming the dire wolf down.
"We disappear from this place and reappear almost instantly in your castle but before I do" 'Legilimens," Harry said as he saw the fragments of Eddards memories float around inside his head.
Harry was overlooking a massive courtyard, Eddard and a Red headed women were watching their children training amongst his people filling our their daily routines.
When Harry looked at his eyes which were looking at Jon training against Robb, a faint whisper of women's voice filled his head " Promise me Ned" she said as the memory faded and another appeared as they were in a bedroom filled with blood.
When Harry walked out of the doorway and into the room, his nostrils smelt the rust giving blood that was coming from a women that had the hand of Eddards grasped in her right, and the other had a baby nestled into her as she wept.
"Promise me... Ned that you will keep him safe," She said as tears filled her eyes kissing the boy in her arms, Eddards body shifted and held her tight when tears fell from his eyes he spoke " Lyanna don't talk like that, you will be raising him yourself just hold on dear sister" his head fell closer to hers as she beckons him closer.
"His Name is Jon Targaryen, Promise me... Ned that you will protect him" her last words were a whisper as her last breath fell from her lips as Eddard cried for his sister steel came from his voice " I will protect him with everything I have Lyanna" his hands covered her now closed eyes.
"Jon Targaryen" Harry whispered as he looked at the baby cradled in Eddard's arms " whos there..." Eddard said as the memory twisted away and Harry felt himself back next to the dire wolf.
"Merlin, " Harry said as he looked at Eddard with a bewildered look as his eyes regathered sight and Ned felt to his knees " What did you do to me." he coughed and rubbed his head looking back over to Jon.
"No time to explain, I'm sorry Ned." he grabbed his arm and the dire wolf paw as they all twisted on the spot vanishing with the pop of black mist between them all and appearing in the courtyard of Winterfell.
Harry regained his composure at the immediate surrounding of swordsmen and the people of Winterfell who some cried out in terror at the great dire-wolf next to him and the coughing and wheezing Eddard next to him.
Harry had his wand out and point it at the dire wolf who now cried out in pain at Harry "Wingardium Leviosa" Harry said as she raised off the ground and floated in front of them.
"Lord Stark do you have any kennels so we can lay her down in a warm area so she can give birth," Harry said to the now upright Eddard who had told the guards to stand down " This way Ser Potter" Ned replied grimly leading them off past the crowd that followed them.
Eddard turned and strode over to a building that housed the kennels, with them following he gestured for Harry to enter first they noticed that every one of the dogs stared at the dire wolf as if she was the most important thing in the world, bar none. The Houndsmaster merely stared at Harry in what looked like awe and shocked fearfulness as he lifted the dire wolf in mid air.
Harry lead her over to a massive kennel at the back of the housing and lay her on top of straw carefully trying not aggravate her belly as she was put on her side, whimpering as she touches the soft straw " Sorry girl, I hope this will help" he patted her head as she licked his chin then cried in pain.
That gates of Winterfell opened up as Harry Darted out of the kennels to find Ned, and Bran, Robb, and Jon all dismounted from their horse and ran up to Harry and the dire " Is she going to be okay " Bran asked Harry, "How in the old gods did you vanish from that spot and end up here" Robb said as he and Jon walked next to Harry.
Harry could see that some notable additions had joined the crowd. The Lady of Lord Stark looked as if she had seen a ghost and was standing there with her hands clutching each other by her belly. Her hair was loose, and she looked terrified. Next to her stood a younger looking Lady of Winterfell, who looked at him with awe with her beautiful eyes.
To to Lady Starks' right was young Robb Stark and a younger man he had never seen before. They looked as if he had never seen a floating body as they watched Harry with worry. Bran was to one side, as was Jon Targaryen.
Harry looked at them; he could see a younger girl the splitting image of Jon in a girls body pulling on his arm than an older man dressed in a robe Dumbledore would be wearing talking to Eddard.
"Lord Stark " Harry rushed up to him and the older gentleman " do you have a nurses or doctors around to help I fear this out of my magic capabilities, " he said as the air began to swirl around them until the whole castle grounds shook and ancient magic sprung from the broken tower to its point as did the inner castle to their right.
When the air began to materialize the two points pulsated then struck the magic that began to appear in front of them with a deafening cracking sound of lightning hitting it, it stopped something from apparating into the castle.
"Merlin," Harry said as the atmosphere began to calm down " I never knew you practice this kind of magic, it's mighty and very ancient I could feel its power." Harry put away his wand and watch the two red headed women approach them.
"Ser Harry, I have never practice magic yet alone seen the castle do anything like that," Ned said as looked at older gentleman with bewilderment " Lord Husband what is going on, you appear from thin air into the castle with this massive beast and this... this Lord who can do magic I hear." folding her arms Ned kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry Lady of Winterfell there is no time to explain the dire wolf is about to birth her pups, and I feel something bad will happen if we don't help her," Harry said as she frowned at Ned who nodded at him.
"Master Luwin we need your expertise, and I shall help out since she is my house symbol of course" Lord Eddard gesture for them both to return inside and as they made it through the kennels Ned spoke in his gruff voice, " Ser Harry Potter this is Maester Luwin." holding out his hand he shoke the maesters hand and walked inside her kennel.
"By the old gods" Luwin whispered in awe when he approached the dire wolf licking her new addition, Harry fell next to her and gestured to her if he could pick it up when she licked his face she whimpered in pain and then went back to cleaning herself for what looked like another pup.
Harry handed the little pup to Eddard who looked like he was holding an expensive piece of fine china he could break as Harry laughed Eddard shot him a look " I still hadn't forgotten what you saw when you said that word to me and watch those memories" he put the pup in a wooden casket with wool.
" I'm sorry Ned, but I fear that your house symbol wouldn't have made it in time in those temperatures" as he watched the third pup be carried from the dire wolf and put in its wool coat with its brothers and sisters.
"Your secret will haunt you forever Eddard plus he needs to know who he is, why is it so important to protect him when he doesn't know whats hunting him," Harry said to Ned who sighed and rubbed his eyes watching Harry carry the sith pup to the coat.
" I shall think this over Ser Potter, and you will tell me how you did that, we cannot risk this getting out if King Robert knew there would be a war" he rubbed his chin as a loud bang came against the door followed by shouting.
" Children I know you out there, enough bickering and open that door now, " Eddard said as the door swung open and they all converged inside followed by the lady of Winterfell carrying an infant looking in dissaprovement.
" How many has she had Father" the little girl who looked like Jon had said as she hugged him he smiled " She truly is something else, this is her eighth one" he watched as the maester carryed it towards the coat full of dire wolf pups.
Harry had a brilliant idea come to his mind as he watched the family's joy over the young dire wolfs happily sleeping in their coat, he kissed the dire wolf head and told her how much he was proud of her, when their connection sparked in his mind he asked if this family was worthy of her puppies "Honorable, trustworthy, bonded' repeated in his head she licked his chin and fell to her side asleep.
"Lord Eddard, with your permission, I think each dire wolf pup should go to you, and your lady and all of your children since your house symbol is a dire wolf " he smiled at Eddard who looked at his children all pleading with him to say yes.
