Disclaimer: As much as I would love too, I don't own anything that has been previously mentioned in the Harry Potter Books.

Author's Note(s): This chapter has a lot of Katherine Fable in because I thought she should be a bit more involved. Read The 2nd A/N.

"'Wolf speak"'

The Tale of a Dragon
Ch15: Expect The Unexpected

Kath walked in between the trees with Severus following close behind. She sniffed the air and picked up on the sent of blood.

"This way!" she shouted to Severus over the storm. Unsure of wether he heard her or not, she waved her hand in the general direction the smell was coming from.

As the smell got stronger Kath's gums stared to ache. She felt her teeth lengthen into fangs. She stopped as her senses were overcome. Severus came up beside her and grabbed her arm to let her know he was there to help, and to stop her from being blown away.

She pulled her arm away just enough for his hand to slide down her arm and into her hand. Their fingers intertwined.

"How far away is he?"

"Not that far now!"

They continued on. Every now and again they would almost run into a tree that they couldn't see through the snow, or slip and almost bring the other one down on top of them. Eventually Kath stopped and let go of Severus's hand.

She got down on her knees and brushed away some snow that had piled up against the trunk of one of the trees.

She uncovered Draco, who was either unconscious or asleep. It was hard to tell which. There was blood frozen over his body and his skin was whiter then the snow, but his lips were blue, as were his fingers.

Severus took off his robe and wrapped it around Draco. Kath lifted him up a bit and rested his head on her chest. She grabbed a rim of her own cloak in each hand and wrapped her arms around the frozen Slytherin.

Severus took out his wand and pointed it in a random direction. A silver mist shot out of it, barely visible in the snow. It had a grey, smoky figure in the centre of it. It looked like a giant spider. Then it took off like a… flying spider.

"They'll be here soon!"

Kath nodded at him, her teeth (and fangs) chattering. Severus crossed his arms and stuck a hand under each armpit. His soaking wet black shirt clung to his body and strands of hair had stuck to his face. Kath's ponytail dripped icy water down the back of her neck.

It was times like these they both really wished Voldemort would let them wear jackets and scarves with their Death Eater robes. Sweaters, at the very least. They had gloves, but they were just for show, not warmth, so they were useless.

Severus took a vile of a potion out of his pocket and gave it to Kath, who forced it down Draco's throat without bothering to ask what it was.

The smoky spider came back from rounding up the Order members, and four figures followed behind it.

Severus sneered when he saw they were all wearing thick jackets, and looked very snug with their scarves and thick gloves.

"You found him!" One of them yelled.

Severus just nodded. His throat hurt from yelling, he suspected Kath's was too.

The figure that was clearly Mad-Eye went through his pockets and found a long wooden spoon. They all reached out and touched it.


Harry paced the Living room while Ron read a Quidditch magazine in one of the armchairs. Molly had pulled Hermione aside on one of the couches.

"Hermione, Dear." Molly said in a kindly tone. "What I'm about to ask you is a bit personal. But," She paused to find the right words. "Are you sexually active?"

"Mrs Weasley." Gasped Hermione. She blushed. "When you said it was personal. I didn't think…"

"You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

Hermione's blush deepened and she looked at the ground and nodded.

"You look regretful, dear."

"Oh, no, I'm not." She looked up. "But it was kind of a mistake. If you follow me. A spur of the moment kind of thing."

"I don't know how to tell you this. I have a sixth sense for these types of things. But, I think you're pregnant."

Hermione's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. "What." She whispered in a high-pitched voice.

"I have a test if you want to double check, but I'm ninety percent sure you are."

"It was only a week ago. How can you be so sure?"

Molly just smiled and tapped the side of her nose. She got up, went into another room and came back with a small vial and a set on instructions, which were written in Snape's handwriting.

"I always keep a bottle with me, just in case. It's a habit for Weasley men to get women pregnant. If you are the Morning Sickness should kick in soon. Just a warning, dear"

"I have been feeling a bit off colour."

"There you go then, it's starting already."

Hermione stood up and went into the bathroom at the same time six people came in the room by portkey.

"Where's Draco?" Harry almost shouted at them. Kath opened her robe and Draco was revealed leaning against her wet, plum coloured top.

'At least she's wearing a bra' thought Ron as he looked at his Professors shirt, which clung to her slightly rounded frame.

McGonagall, Remus, Moody and Arthur took off their outer layers of clothing and piled them on the floor. Molly stood up and walked over to Snape and Kath.

"Go upstairs now and put some dry cloths on before you both catch chills. I've prepared the fifth bedroom on the third floor for you, Katherine. There are clothes for you both there. And give me your wet clothes when you come back down, I'll wash and dry them for you. Bring some down for Draco too."

"Wait! What? She's a Death Eater. Why is she staying here?" asked Ron.

"I'm a s-spy, R-Ron." Kath said through chattering teeth.

"Go." Scolded Molly, and Kath followed Snape out.

Draco had been moved in front of the fire and Harry had his arms around him. They were getting strange looks from Moody and McGonagall, but Remus was smiling at them both. Arthur was temporary healing Draco and bandaging him up, he put a bandage over the Dark Mark too, he did it with a dark frown on his face.

Snape and Kath came down the stairs. Kath was wearing light blue and Snape, dark green. Arthur used a replacing charm, which morphed the clothes Draco was wearing into the ones he was holding, and vice versa.

The pile of wet clothes was sent down to the laundry.

"We should get him up to the main bedroom. I hope you don't mind sharing, Harry, but yours is the only one with a fireplace."

"No, I don't mind."

Hermione came back in the room and had to flatten herself against the wall to let Draco pass (he was being levitated by Harry). She gave a small nod to Molly, who smiled in return and continued on her way to where Ron was sitting.

"Ron?"

He looked up "Are you alright, Mia? You look pale."

She smiled "I'm fine Ronald." She hesitated. Ron noticed and his eyebrows met in confusion. "I need to tell you something."

"Yeah?"

"I'm just going to come out and say it, ok?"

"Yeah."

"No beating around the bush."

"Yeah."

"I'm just gonna give it to you straight."

"Just tell me what it is Hermione!"

"I'm pregnant!" Everyone that was left in the room turned to look at the two. Kath and Remus had to get out of the room as fast as they could to stop from laughing at the look on Ron's face.


Harry tucked Draco into his bed and kissed his forehead. It was cold, so at least Harry knew he didn't have a fever. It took a lot to get a Werewolf sick anyway. He lit the fire and sat on the end of the bed cross-legged. With his hand on his fist, he watched the blonde until someone knocked on the door.

Harry opened it to see Remus there. "Come in." He whispered.

Remus sat in one of the chairs in the corner and Harry joined him.

"You said this morning you wanted to speak to me."

"Yeah. I wanted to ask you what the transformation feels like."

There was a sharp intake of breath. "That's a personal question, don't you think?"

"Sorry. I just wanted to know what you and Draco go through. That's all."

"You really care about him."

Harry nodded. "I don't know why though."

Remus looked thoughtfully at Draco.

"I want to become a Werewolf."

Remus's head snapped back to Harry. "WHAT?"

Draco stirred. "Shh. Keep it down. You'll wake Draco up."

"Did you just say you wanted to be a Werewolf?"

"Yeah."

Remus grabbed Harry shoulders tightly and looked him straight in the eye. "Don't ever say that. Ever. If I ever hear you say that again. I'll kill you. Understand?"

Harry looked into his now bright yellow eyes. "I want to do it for Draco. I don't want him to go through being one alone. I mean, I know he has you but…"

"You love him. And you want to be there for him."

Harry thought about it. He looked at the floor. "You're right. I do love him."

Sighing heavily, Remus looked back at Draco. "Alright… When do you want to do it?"

"Don't we have to wait 'till the full moon?"

"No."

"Now then."

"You don't want time to think about it?"

"I already have thought about it."

Remus muttered something under his breath then stood up with a groan. "Come on then. Let's get this over with."

There was a quiet knock on the door and Kath came in. "Hello? Am I disturbing something?"

"No we were just leaving. Come on Remus, let's do this thing."

Remus followed Harry out, grumbling as he went. Kath crossed the room and sat sideways on the bed.

"You were listening."

Draco opened his eyes "How'd you know?"

"I could smell it."

Draco chuckled weakly. "Care to explain how?"

"I'm half Vampire. I was born one. I get it from my father's side."

"Do you think he'll do it?"

"Become a Werewolf? He seemed fairly determined. You can stop him if you want… Do you love him?"

Draco closed his eyes. "Yes. More then I thought I could ever love anyone. When I was lying there, slowly being covered in snow, I thought I was going to die, but I wasn't thinking about myself, or what was going to happen, all I could think about was Harry."

"Sounds like love to me."

"But now. I want him to go through with it and become a Werewolf, so we can be together on full moons. I'm thinking about myself, not him. I'm being selfish." His body gave a violent shudder and he wrapped the blankets around himself more.

Kath pulled a vial of potion out of her pocket and gave it to Draco. He drank it without question.

"Thanks Professor. For everything."

"It's alright Draco. But call me Kath or Katherine… Not Kathy though. Only Sev is allowed to call me that."

The smell of blood made it's way into the room. Draco's body tensed as he fought the wolf and Kath's fangs grew again.

"Remus must be using blood to make himself transform." Draco just nodded in response. "The blood will make Harry transform too." Again, Draco nodded his head. "Do you feel up to going down there and helping him through it?"

"No. I'd like to sleep. Suddenly, I'm just so tired." As if to prove a point, he yawned. Then Kath yawned too.

"I hate it when people yawn. I can't help but doing it too." She pouted and Draco chuckled.

"Nice fangs."

"Thankyou." She smiled to show them off.

"Any differences between being a full Vampire and a half Vampire?"

"Yeah. I can eat garlic, but it make's me feel sick. I can smell garlic, but it gives me a headache. I can go out in the sun, but not for long. All my body fluids have been replaced by blood and…"

She trailed off. Draco had fallen asleep cuddling his pillow, so she went to find Severus to annoy him. It was her favourite thing to do when she was bored.


Moony shook the blood out of his coat. He had won the fight with the new werewolf who called himself Eclipse. That established himself as second in command, with Lycan as first.

He gave a celebratory howl at the roof. Now, if he could just get out to tell the Alpha that there was another addition to the pack. Another howl should be enough to alert him.

Eclipse stirred. He opened his eyes, which could be considered either green or yellow, depending on how you looked at them. His black fur was matted with blood.

"'Welcome to the pack, Eclipse. We shall wait for the lunar cycle to reach the full moon before I present you to the Alpha-Male. I can tell by your sent that he will accept you.'"

"'Our human forms, Draco and Harry I believe they call themselves, have already become close. I can recognize his scent from even down here, in this…'" Eclipse sniffed disapprovingly at the enclosed place. "'Basement. He is my life mate, and I must protect him.'"


Ways of the Werewolf: Everything You Need to Know - Chapter 7: Mates and Bonds

Mates: Many Werewolves spend their entire lives searching for their life partner in their human forms. Truth be told, they will never be able to find one this way, for there is always the question 'are they the right one?'
It is in the Werewolf form that they will be able to tell the scent of their life mate.
Once they have picked up the scent of their life mate, they will gladly lay their live down on the line for him/her.
In most cases both mates will be Werewolves, though there have been rare occurrences where one is not. When this happens, it means the love between them is especially strong. The human of the relationship will do anything they can to be with the Werewolf during the full moon, and with a love that strong, there is nothing anyone can do to talk them out of it. The Werewolf will automatically know not to get in the way, and will support them being together during the full moon, despite their better judgement. And if anyone else gets in the way of the couple being together, there will be bloodshed.
Two life mates will be able to recognise each other in human forms.

Bonds: When two life mates have found each other they will seal their love by the act of sexual intimacy (to put it nicely). Though the act will not be pretty, as both partners will fight for control and will often be rough, it is a most romantic ritual.
Afterwards they will be able to read each other's emotions, heal each other and they will share their abilities and magical power level (MPL), until the day one of them dies. The relationship will also mean a lot to both partners and betrayal, deceitfulness or any kind of fight between the two, will inflict physical pain on them both.
If the two were to be sexually intimate the same night as the full moon, but before it rises, the transformation will be a lot less painful, and the werewolf(s) will be able to keep their minds until the full moon ends.
The bond must be sealed before the closest full moon, or both will live a painfully loveless life.



2nd Author's Note:
I've made my decision. I am going to write a sequel. And it will be time travel. I think Harry and Draco should go back to teach their parents. I know it's been done, but I wanna try and do one for myself.
It might not be as good as this one (cause I'm using all my brilliant ideas for this one) but I'll do my best.
It'll also (hopefully) explain the Sev and Kath romance a bit more.
If you don't like time travel fics, then you don't have to read it. It's a sequel so it'll follow on from this but I will not finish this one off in a way were you have to read it. It'll be your choice.I've made my decision. I going to write a sequel. And it be time travel. I think Harry and Draco should go back to teach their parents.

P.S. I wouldn't mind some suggestions for a title because I'm really bad at thinking them up. I want one that fits with this one… kinda.
I was thinking 'The Tales of Werewolves.' What do you guys think?
