Thanks to:
Beenieweenie: Lol aye bless Hermione, she's a smart girl.
Arigazi: No, no it was just the transformation hitting the dream don't worry. Aye this chappy is the full moon and you'll just have to wait and see (grin).
Sykostalker27: Lol I'll try and make the Death Eaters suffer my dear, don't worry. Enjoy torturing the dolls for now though.
RilieAnnPotter5569: Lol I'll try to make it happier in future, and don't worry I had no evil surprises for the proposal.
Jenna: Aye I don't think anyone deserves that but like you said, Harry's there for him.
AJ: Right well I left that review alongside yours last night but now I've been able to sleep and calm myself into a more logical state of mind. I do appreciate that you informed me in the title but I think you should've left it there. You don't tell someone you generally avoid stories with mistakes in the title because they're probably crap, you just move on, read something else to fit your criteria. It was the characterisation bit that upset me because I've given myself extra work, which yes is my own fault but I was doing this for FUN, by studying Celtic lore and slipping in Modern day Wicca here and there. You want to bitch, fine, but take it somewhere else.
Elrohir Lover: Oh Aye, Wicca is very important to me and I'm glad your friend is in to it. I hope they take it seriously though.

Chapter 19 – Peppermint and Packs
The sheets felt heavier then usual as Cara lay under then. His head was throbbing and he felt like his body was filled with lead. He tried swallowing but the movement just scratched his throat...obviously it meant it was Full Moon.
He opened his sleep-induced eyes, blinking a little in the light, until the room began to come into view.
He found Harry on top of the sheets, fast asleep as he rested one hand on the blonde's hip. He looked worn out although sleeping made the lines on his face a little less prominent. He reached up with a heavy hand to stroke a piece of ebony hair out of his lover's face but the movement made the animagi's eyes spring open.
"Cara?" Harry croaked as he cleared his throat.
"Hey." The blonde whispered and quickly his mate began to scan his body with his sharp eyes.
"How are you feeling, are you still sore from last night?" He said as he rested the cool tips of his fingers against Cara's temples causing the werewolf to close his eyes blissfully at the soothing feeling.
"I'm fine, just good old regular transformation pains now." He smiled a little, which made Harry relax a little and smile back.
A knock sounded at the door and they both looked over at it before the darker man called them in. Remus stuck his head round the door, looking just a little tired with the upcoming day.
"Morning, I just wanted to see if Cara was better." He said as he came in, his tatty dressing gown billowing slightly around his bare feet.
"Better but no much better then you are." The young blonde said with a small smirk and Remus gave a little chuckle, winking slightly at him.
"Remus what's happening tonight? With the transformations and everything?" Harry said suddenly as he slowly stroked a hand over Cara's.
"Oh that well you have a choice really. There's a room in here, big enough to accommodate three large wolfs, or you can visit the area near by...but I would strongly suggest the room."
The animagi nodded as he looked back down at Cara who had falling back to sleep. He smirked and shook his head.
~*~
Harry came back into the bedroom just as Cara propped himself up on the head of the bed stirring a cup.
"Here. I've got you some Peppermint tea, I wasn't sure if you'd like the Eucalyptus." He handed the steaming cup over to his mate before he went about searching all the draws. Finally he pulled out two sets of blue and yellow candles, some oils and what looked like blue powder.
He set about sprinkling the blue talc by all the entrances such as the door and windows. Then he sat himself on the bed as he dipped a part of his shirt in the citron oil and began to anoint the candles with it.
"What are you doing?" Cara asked as he finished the drink slowly.
"I'm performing a basic health spell, just a little something to help with your meditation." He finished with the candles and began placing them around the room where he would wave his hand in front of them causing them to jump into life with little flickering flames.
"Should help a little I think." The dark-haired man muttered more to himself then the werewolf.
"Right, ready to meditate?" He said smiling as he turned to look over at his boyfriend. Cara grinned and pushed the covers off where he then crossed his legs into his traditional indian-stlye.
Harry made his way back over to the bed where he mirrored the blonde, facing him and shuffled forwards until their knees touched. They raised their hands and slipped them into one another's, palms flat against the others. They leant forwards a little until their foreheads touched and then they were ready to start.
The animagi focused all his energy into the weakening body of his mates, the Green Flame within him helping to strengthen Cara's own healing charms as they closed their eyes, falling into the trance until nothing was left but each other.
~*~
"Remus do you want a cuppa?" Bill called as the older werewolf entered into the kitchen with his sheets wrapped around his shoulders.
"Yes please I...what's that smell?" He said taking a little sniff of the mint in the air.
"Oh that's just Harry's Peppermint drink for Cara, they're upstairs meditating right now." The longhaired Weasley said as he stirred the tea gently, sneakily slipping in a third teaspoon of sugar into his own tea.
"Your teeth will fall out." The tawny-haired man said as he came over to help.
"Ah well, least of my worries." The red head said smirking cheekily.
"Did you day that Harry and Cara are meditating?" Remus asked as he finished making his drink.
"Oh yeah, they have this trippy power-sharing thing going on where Harry separates a little energy from himself to help Cara throughout the day, very cool."
The older werewolf raised his eyebrows a little as he nodded. Sirius had tried it once but unfortunately he just didn't have the same reserves of magick like Harry so he'd been to exhausted to change with Remus that night. Luckily this was after Harry's third year so he was able to keep the over-active werewolf company in human form.
"Right well, I'm going back to bed. Call me when the sun begins to set." With that said he started making his way back upstairs to crawl under the comfy covers of his bed.
~*~
Harry carried Cara downstairs, his arms under the werewolf's knees and back, into the little room for the wolves changes tonight. He set the tired man down on top of some sheets Mrs Weasley had obviously left in the room and stroked his face lovingly. Then he left again to go get Remus.
He entered the dark room to find a lump of duvets on the bed...Remus. Smiling he walked over but not before catching a glimpse of a picture on the man's bedside cabinet. Looking closer he noticed it was one taken during his fifth year at Christmas but he'd never known anyone had took it. It was Remus sat on Sirius's right, both smiling widely and they sneakily held one another's hands by Sirius's thigh. On the older animagi's left was Harry himself, leant into his Godfather's one-armed hug as he laughed a little.
"Harry?" He heard a hoarse voice croak as he looked up. Remus was watching him slightly and he suddenly felt a little guilty for intruding.
"Sorry, I came to get you but I saw this." He said a little weakly as he moved over to the bed. Remus smiled gently at the photograph.
"I like that one, very family like." He explained simply and Harry found himself smiling as he nodded.
"Very true. Come on then, better get you downstairs." He helped the man sit up before slinging one of his own arm's around Remus's waist and placed the werewolf's arm around his neck. They began making their way out of the room but Remus was sagging a little heavily, exhausted just from this walk.
"Ah fuck it." The Animagi said suddenly as he slipped his arm behind the man and hoisting him up so he could carry him like he did Cara.
"Harry, you don't have to do that." The older male protested but Harry was almost into the room anyway.
"Na, it's good." He said smirking as he lay the man down. Then they all waited as the moon began to rise.
~*~
Moony snuffled against the bed linen slightly picking up on so many different scents. His ears twitched in question until he picked up on two very familiar scents...Caerleon and Inari!
He jumped up and turned to find the blonde wolf and white wolf watching him happily, tongues lolling out as they wagged their tails in greeting. The all moved forward to give a little nuzzle to one another.
Inari and Moony began to have a little paw-bating game as Caerleon watched them, amused at the childish behaviour of his Dragga before joining in himself.
Eventually the older Moony curled up on the palette on blankets as he watched the two juveniles run and leap at one another, nipping and nuzzling when they could as they played.
He looked at the empty space next to him and whined too low for the pups to hear. It was times like this when he missed Padfoot the most with Caerleon, so SIMIALR to him, near by. The large wolf turned back to watch the playful white wolf as he crouched low, tail wagging furiously as he jumped on the joyfully barking Inari.
Padfoot would've relished in this new pack. Of course he'd still miss Prongs but he'd learn to love this one just as much as the Marauder pack. He then looked over to watch Inari, the younger version of him in so many ways. Inari rubbed his head under Caerleon's strong jaw as he whined his love for the wolf. The two then began to bound about the place again until several hours later they had exhausted themselves and they came over to jump on Moony where they curled around each other and him.
Yes he missed Padfoot, Moony thought as he watched the two sleeping pups, he wouldn't exchange theses two for anything in the world.
He gave little licks to each snout, Caerleon giving a little twitch of his ear as he did so before he lowered his own head and decided to sleep with them.
