Chapter 2: Dog Pound
I stayed with him until he fell asleep. He looked so angelic in his sleep, the gentle movement of his chest slowly rising and lowering with each breath. His black hair contrasting with his still pale skin made him seem so unnatural to this world, almost like some higher being. He was peaceful now, so peaceful. It was hard to imagine, that this same boy would turn into such a monster every full moon.
I sighed getting up out of a chair that I had used to sit by him, what was I going to do? I had fallen in love with the kid, I wanted him to be my own.. I wanted to be able to protect him from the cruel world, give him a wonderful life. But I just meet him how could I be affected by him this fast. Maybe I was just lonely.
I left the room to walk aimlessly down the halls my hand trailing up against the wall. I didn't even know how I was supposed to adopt him. Would they even let me adopt him? I stopped and frowned, what if they didn't? What if they said one werewolf could not adopt another werewolf? But that would just be plain ridiculous! How could they prevent me from adopting him?
I scowled, all these rules were her fault, I hated her. I had thought that after Umbridge had fallen from rule, things would get better. Then she came, a woman even worse then Umbridge. Her name was Agnus Efferus, and she was firm in the belief anything not human should be treated as such, as an inhuman, monster. She made laws about everything. It was awful. Being a werewolf was hard enough then she had to come along. But she didn't stop at werewolves, or at giants. But went on to pester the vampires, the veelas, the centaurs and any other magical creature she could think that may look at least vaguely human.
"Excuse me sir?" I jumped as the quiet voice cut through my thoughts.
"Yes?" I turned around to face a small meek girl.
"Well, the boy in there Alex recently abandoned by his parents, told me that you would like to adopt him, is this true?"
"Well yes, I know what he is going trough and I thought it best that I take him in." God I sounded like such a stiff, but I had to impress them if I wanted to take him in.
" Yes, well I really see no problem in one werewolf adopting another so know if you just come with me there some papers you must sign and then in a few days you can take him home." I was very surprised how easy it was going to be to adopt him, I thought it was going to be somehow harder.
"This is much easier than I though it would be." I said not really talking to her but expressing my thoughts out loud.
"Well the current adoption laws do not extend to the adoptions of things that are not human, it's more like buying an animal then adopting." I winced at what she said, we, we bring werewolves. We're only "not human" when there was a full moon, which really only happens once a month.
She led me into a small room, much like a typical office, there was a desk, a book filled bookshelf and two chairs. I took a seat in one of the chairs, which was exactly across from her.
"Well the boy looks quite healthy and strong, so I think about five hundred galleons five sickles and four bronze knuts." She said as if she was selling some breed of dog. But the price bothered me, at this time I had exactly one thousand galleons, that would set me back a lot, and I didn't feel like asking my friends for another loan. But there where certain jobs now being offered to werewolves. Although they were all degrading, I would have to take one. I took the money out of my pocket; I always carried it in case of an emergency.
"Well okay I don't have any change so here's six hundred galleons." I handed her the money and waited for my change but instead she took it and went back to her work. "Um I believe you forgot to give me my change."
"Hmm what change?" She said in a fake innocence waving me out. God, I have had enough of this, I hope she gets bitten one day. But I didn't want to risk the chance of losing Alex so I left the room in a huff.
I walked down the hallway and back into Alex's room. There he was still sleeping peacefully. The sight of him so calm, calmed me too. So I quietly walked back to my chair and took a seat.
I started to watch him sleep again. My eyes grew heavy, my head dropped, and then I fell into darkness.
I found my self in a dark room. The room really had no special features to it, the wallpaper was pealing, old beat up furniture scattered the room. It reminded me much of my small one roomed apartment, only with more furniture.
I didn't know how I got there so I walked trough the room the room trying to decide where I was.
Moony..I turned around trying to see who spoke, but I already new before I turned around it was him, Sirius.
I knew know where I was, in a dream. I had a dream like this millions of times; I never could get to him. I would run and run but never get to him, and I could never get out of the dream when I wanted to. But this time was different, this time I was shaken awake.
"Are you okay." I woke up to see a very worried looking Alex.
"Yeah I'm fine, so I guess, you're my son, if you don't mind me saying that." I knew he was happy to be adopted by me but I still wasn't sure weather or not he wanted to be known as my son.
"Of coarse not.although I'm not really prepared to call you father or something." his voice trailed off at the mention of father.
"Don't worry its okay, I wasn't expecting you too. Well I just have to tell you that living with me will not be that easy, I'm pretty poor and don't have much, so it won't be what you used to."
"I don't care! I know that when I'm with you I won't be treated like a freak." I smiled.
We talked for a long time about the subject of werewolves, he even told me how he had been bitten. It turned out one of his friends had been acting strange lately. He lost a lot of weight was always tired, and collapsed often. Alex became worried that his friend was hanging with the wrong crowd, so on the night of the full moon he followed his friend. Well Alex was right behind his friend when he changed and was bitten.
"W-well that's it." His voice was really quiet.
"Hey, don't worry, its not that bad really. The first time can be painful, okay and the time after that," I paused really not knowing what to say, each time was painful, and I could see him already get scared "okay each time is painful, but when someone else is there with you, its really not as bad. In fact when I was a kid, I remember that my friend made those nights just fine."
"Really, so me and you, it will almost be like we're in pack." He smiled up at me, and I nodded my head.
"Well you cannot officially come home with me until tomorrow, so I better go. I need to find a job." I reached up and ruffled his hair.
"Bye, see you." He said smiling up at me waving good-bye.
A/N: Okay there is chapter 2 yeah! Okay in the next chapter Moony shall get a job, and take Alex home. You will also find more about Agnus Efferus.
