First I need to state that I don't own any Harry Potter characters. I don't own the Wolf Lords (only my ideas for them). I have taken concepts that I have enjoyed from several different fanfic authors and tweaked them to my own end. I make no money off of this and I write for my own enjoyment only.

I've based how my wolves will be able to change, kind of from True Blood, so they will be able to change whenever they want but will be compelled to change at the full moon to run or whatever. I don't own True Blood either.

I'm from Kansas and unfortunately I don't know British swear words or insults, so I will use the ones I know. That being said there will be cussing in this fic and I will rate it accordingly. There will not be smut I'm not that type of writer.

There will be Dumbledore and Voldemort bashing, along with Several Death Eaters being bashed as well. The Weasleys are kind of non entities in this story. I may place Fred and George in the story at some point but I am not entirely sure on that at this point. I'm not a Ron/GInny/ or Molly fan but I'm not going to go out of my way to bash them, they really aren't worth my time for that. However I retain the right to bash them if the muse calls for it.

This will be an alt universe story. Familiar characters will be ooc. Main pairings will be HP/HG/LL/Pad P/ DG and NL/SB/HA/Pav P/TD. These won't be harems, they will be packs with an Alpha and his Mates as the heads. This will be a super Harry/Neville story but don't worry it won't be super easy for them.

If none of this is your particular type of beverage feel free to hit the back button and find another story.

Quoting Uncle from the Jackie Chan adventures one more thing" I know I am a dry writer, this is not my first time writing a story, this is just the first time I have submitted it. I would appreciate any courteous critics or reviews, but there is no reason to flame and just bitch about things. That's honestly just rude. I'm an adult and can take it and I know I will never be a professional writer, I gave up that dream long ago. There are a lot of kids that write fanfiction that are trying to gain experience and confidence in their writing that should be encouraged not torn down, just because some of you want to bitch and belittle them by being internet tough guys.

Ok rant over, onto the story.

Prologue

The final battle was over at last. Voldemort was dead.

Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom, the two Boys-who-lived, looked around the carnage that was the battlefield, or as they would prefer to call it Hogwarts Castle and Grounds.

The castle was in ruins from the combined attacks from the giants and trolls that Voldemort brought with him. The grounds including Hogsmeade were scorched black and barren from the onslaught of magic released from the dark forces. Worst of all, out of the six hundred people that were involved in the battle only ten survived, luckily all from the side of the light.

Those ten are Hermione Granger, one of the smartest people around and one of Harry's best friends. Luna Lovegood, partial seer and Hermiones best female friend. The Patil twins, Padma and Parvati. Daphne Greengrass and Tracey Davis, the only Slytherines to be friends with Harry and Neville. Susan Bones and Hannah Abbott, the two fiercest females in the group. And finally Neville and Harry themselves.

Neville inclined his head at his brother in all but blood ( after that dreadful Halloween when his Godparents James and Lily Potter sacrificed themselves to save the two boys) Harry and him grew up together since Harry's guardian Sirius Black was thrown into prison for betrayal. Harry ended up being raised by Frank and Alice.

"What do you think Harry? How many do you think are still around?"

" I don't know Nev. According to the map it's just you, me and the girls still here."

"Isn't the map tied to the wards? How is it still working?"

"It is. With the wards feeding off the ley lines around here they never break per say, they just get overloaded. Even right now they are recharging."

Harry looked at the map again and saw that all the girls were heading in their direction. Once the last of their friends hobbled up to them, the ten adults all in their mid twenty's split into two groups hugging each other. With Neville in the center of one group, surrounded by Susan, Hannah, Parvati and Tracey and Harry in the middle of Hermione, Luna, Padma and Daphne. The girls all started talking at once.

"How did you both overcome him?" Hermione

"Wow, mass destruction has swarmed this place with Nargles!" Luna

"I can't believe it's finally over." Hannah

"Do you think it really is?" Susan

"Would you look at this Place" Daphne

"All this death and destruction…" Tracey

"I thought we were going to die...How did we survive?" Parvati and Padma

The hugs continued for several minutes until two howls pierced through the night. The group of tired warriors looked up toward where the castle used to be and froze. Standing at what used to be the entrance were two massive wolves standing as tall as Neville at six foot two, head and shoulders. One wolf was Dark Gray and the other was a deep red.

A crack of lightning blinded the group, when their eyes cleared the wolves were gone and in their place stood two men one covered in woad and the other wearing Norse armor.

"Greeting my friends" The woad covered man said as the group warily approached

"We are two of the Wolf Lords' ' The Norseman stated " I am called Freki and my companion is Filtiarn. Please lower your weapons, we mean you no harm."

Neville and Harry approached them, their wands still pointed at the newcomers.

"What do you want?" asked Neville

"We want to help you." responded Filtiarn

"How? How can you help? The battle is over, everyone is Dead. Almost six hundred people died over the last day, not counting those that didn't fight that died as well!" Harry Shouted.

"Peace young one." Answered Filtiarn Let us explain. As my friend mentioned, we are two of the Wolf Lords''... at this everybody looked confused…" We are Deities or gods. I am the Celtic wolf Lord and Freki is a Norse Wolf Lord. We come with a proposition.

"Gods yeah right!" Yelled Neville " Why would gods come here after the fact huh? If you're here to help, why didn't you come before? Why come ten years after Riddle was resurrected in our Fourth year?"

"Simple answer we couldn't, this was a human struggle." Answered Freki

"Even gods have to obey a grand design" add Filtiarn

"What do you mean?"

"There is a design for everything. We couldn't interfere until that design was screwed up."

"What do you mean screwed up?" asked Luna, speaking for the first time.

"Allow us to continue our explanation and all will be answered by my child." responded Filtiarn. " The design was that two boys of prophecy would come together, be brothers in all but blood, and banish the dark lord on October 31st 1981. They would banish him to a prison dimension using a hidden power. The evil one would still live but be out of the way for the next decade or so. He would eventually escape and return with help from a follower. In that decade or two the boys would be trained in all magic and gather allies of all beings. When the dark one returned the two no longer boys would face him and kill him once and for all."

"Now here is where things went south," added Freki. " The one know as Voldemort attacked the boys as planned but when the banishment happened his soul was separated from his body and stayed on the plain and only an empty shell was imprisoned. I'm sure you can guess why that happened?"

"The Horcruxes?"

"Correct, that wasn't in the design. Then after that the head bastard Dumbles…"

"Dumbledore was a great man…"

"Was he, well not from our perspective. He was told the design as the leader of the light. He was told that you two needed training and not only did he not do that, he magically convinced your parents and guardians not to either. He compelled Bellatrix to attack Augusta Longbottom, so she would be out of the way. He made laws that forbade Remus Lupin from being able to help you. He then told Greyback where to find Lupin so he could get killed in your fifth year. He made your parents switch their secret keeper to Pettigrew knowing that he was a death eater.."

"Wait he knew that and let Harry's Godfather Sirius Black go to prison for betraying the Potters?" Yelled Neville.

"Yes he knew. So the Head bastard didn't follow the design. We will admit he didn't know about the horcruxes but he didn't do his part like he was supposed to."

"As Freki mentioned the design went south with the dark one having horcruxes. That is a magic that no mortal was supposed to have. And yes we know that knowledge goes back thousands of years. It wasn't supposed to. A Deity released this knowledge to his followers just to mess with your design. Once you killed Voldemort once and for all, an era of peace was to be ushered in lasting several millennia. This era was to see magical and non magical come closer than ever, it was to see to the end of poverty and disease, and be a time of renewal for everything. This peace was to last until the next phase of evolution was to kick in." said Filtiarn " And I know what you're thinking, but no this wasn't going to be directly you doing this, but a child of one that you would indirectly save would be the one to usher this in. But as it was His Ancestry was wiped out before he or she could even be a twinkle in their great grandparents eyes."

"This is all fascinating and all but what can we do about it? You said it has already went wrong?" asked Harry

"That's true it has, but all is not lost." responded Freki. " We are here to offer you a unique choice. You can either stay here and now and try to fix things with how they stand now. Or we can move you to a different time, an earlier time one where you can do the most good, and work on completing the design that was set to you in the way it was supposed to go. If you do this you will have the opportunity to save countless souls in the process."

Hermione started to speak at this point. " If you can send us back in time, why don't the gods just go back and stop the knowledge of Horcruxes from being revealed. From what I understand, that would fix everything?"

"That is an excellent question Ms. Granger, however, too much time has passed for that to be feasible. To go back that far would alter existence to the point that it would break. That is the reason this particular god chose when he did to release that information." Freki stated

"Oh…"

"Let me get this straight, we can either keep all these people dead or you send us back and we can save them. Is that what I'm understanding about this deal?" asked Harry

"Essentially that is correct." replied Filtiarn

"Ok say we agree, what is this going to cost us?" asked Tracey

"Short answer nothing, or at least nothing of consequence."

"Ok so there is a catch. Let's hear it then." Neville stated

"Very well. You all know what werewolves are correct?" the group nodded. " Well Weres weren't supposed to exist as they are. This particular god cursed the gift that was bestowed and we would like your help in fixing it."

"What we are offering is we send you back and we change you to wolves like us. Not Weres. Think of it as an advanced animagus transformation"

"You would be able to change whenever and wherever you wanted. You would be able to change others if you chose to. The alphas of each pack, ie: Harry and Neville would be able to get rid of the curse of Lycanthropy. You would be your own packs. Freki and I would be the alpha primes and you two would be the alphas of your own packs. You wouldn't be completely human anymore but you wouldn't be all creatures either."

"Also" added Freki " You will go back with all your knowledge, so you will know how to beat the Dark Bastard."

"You keep saying Harry and I. What about the girls?" asked Neville

"You would all go, you are a team."

"When would we go back to?" asked Harry

"Well no earlier than the end of your third year. That way you would all already be hanging out and be friends. I would suggest towards the beginning of your fourth year." responded Freki. " The reason for that time is it's far enough back to save the Hogwarts champion and several others, but not so far back that it would destroy life as we all know it."

The group of friends looked at each other and held a silent conversation for several minutes before nodding to each other, they then turned back to the wolf lords.

"Alright…" said Harry

"We'll do it.." added Neville

"Under several…" stated Harry

"Conditions…" said Neville

The group talked for several more minutes and the wolf lords agreed with them and with another bolt of lightning the twelve disappeared leaving the barren grounds empty once again.
