Chapter 27:

Harry took them to the outside of the gates to the manor so he could test the ward for the first time, he had opened up all the other wards to allow in anyone unless he forced them out, however, this would be the first time he would be testing to see if his ward worked on a wolf not connected to the main wards. He opened the gate and motioned for the pair to enter and he saw them both shudder when they walked through the ward and Harry couldn't help but smirk when he saw it worked as it was supposed to. He stepped through and felt the ward surround him too.

"Welcome, Fenrir Greyback, to the Werewolf sanctuary." Harry said and grinned when the werewolf looked around blinking.

"This is an ancient family home." Was the first thing out of his mouth, and Harry rolled his eyes.

"I know, it used to be the Peverell Family Manor," Harry said, "It's mine."

"You used one of your own family manors?"

"It's my money and food too. Trust me when I say I've got enough of it." Harry shrugged, "Do you want to see all the lands?"

"Yes, there are many wolves." Greyback agreed,

"Ok, Moony, you haven't seen this either." Harry said and then shadowed to the south point that Nip had taken him. "Does this count as enough land?"

"What's your territory?" Greyback asked, looking around and Harry snorted.

"Everything you can see comes with the manor." Harry told him and both their heads snapped around to look at him.

"Excuse me?" Remus yelped in shock and Harry laughed,

"Yeah, I know, it's completely excessive." Harry said,

"This is much more than we would need." Greyback muttered, "The forest alone would cover my pack and then some."

"There are outbuildings within the forest for those who wish as well as ones that are scattered about in the open." Harry said,

"What about the lake."

"Mine too, you would be free to use it as much as you want. I do not know what dwells there, however." Harry tilted his head, "And I've been told that there are other animals within the forest."

"That is nothing we would not expect."

"Let's go to the manor next, we have a lot to go through." Harry moved them to the entrance hall and began yet another tour of that day. He knew that his other self was currently giving a tour to his friends and so he decided to take a different rout so they didn't cross paths. He took them down to the infirmary and showed it to Greyback,

"This would be where healing will take place, of course, if there are wolves who are not comfortable within enclosed spaces then I am sure that, as long as no harm comes to her, Raven will come to the injured party." Harry said and Greyback nodded.

"This seems expensive."

"According to my elves, this is the best that they were able to purchase." Harry confirmed, "Do you want to see the potion labs?"

"No, that is Moonrise' station."

"I am not sure how you conduct the education within the packs, but the potion labs have been warded to only allow access to adults and if there are apprentices then they will have to be keyed in to the wards. Moony knows how to do all of that, so there is no confusion." Harry said,

"We have wolves who learn certain subjects like healing and potions who shadow their masters, other things are taught in groups."

"Good, because we created a classroom and another room that could also be used as a classroom, and all the wards can be edited by Moony." Harry said. He took them up and showed them the common room, the time out room and the classroom which Greyback was extremely pleased with.

"Many cubs miss out, but this will allow them to learn."

"You'll have two teachers at least that will teach the cubs things that those within your pack have been unable to learn. Both Moony and Paws are full of knowledge and both make great teachers." Harry said, "Now, I changed the dining room to make it less formal and let it be more sociable." He showed Greyback the smaller tables and the werewolf nodded,

"There are those who miss small comforts such as eating at a table. It has been a long time since they have, and some have never been able to do such a thing." He murmured and Harry's eyes flashed in fury, the ministry and the wizarding world would be in for a huge awakening when he ripped apart every magical creature rule and built them in his view. He took a deep breath and led them away.

"Now, I know that many wolves who may come here will be used to living outside, but they'll need to check in and for that I've sectioned of this room and this will be the room the portkey will drop them." Harry said showing the ball room and he chuckled when Greyback's eyes widened in shock.

"This makes the Malfoy room look poor." He stated and Remus was overcome with coughs as he tried to hide his laughter, Harry openly laughed at that.

"I thought it was open and light enough not to scare anyone as they'd be coming somewhere unknown."

"Yes, the windows bring in much light and there would be no crowding as some may react badly to anyone approaching their packs." Greyback agreed,

"Ok, next up is the training room. I don't know how useful this would be, but its been warded not to allow those under 8 entrance without an adult." Harry said leading them up, Greyback whistled in appreciation when he seen the room.

"Wolves who have survived without magic or those who don't know how to use it have trained with weapons, this will teach those who want to learn." He said and Harry nodded. He showed the den, the multipurpose room and the ritual room where he warned his against entering due to the twins. Harry pointed out the toilets and shower rooms which were open to anyone and everyone.

"You have them specifically made?"

"Yes, because, while most of the rooms have en suits, what if there was a cub who was playing and needed the bathroom? They'd need to run all they way back to their room just to go." Harry shook his head. "Ok, the master study is where the 'staff' wards are based, these stop anyone going up to the top floor and in to any of the studies as they'll only be open to those who work there. Moony is keyed in obviously, and those who are working here and staying on the top floor will have to be keyed in. Just a drop of blood on to the ward stone will do." He moved around to the library and laughed at his reaction.

"Why so many books?" Greyback questioned when he found his voice.

"No idea, it's the biggest library in the wizarding world according to the elves. Now, everyone has access to this, accept those under 5 who need to be brought in with an adult. The children books are in the den and the multipurpose rooms and can be accessed by anyone." Harry explained. They went up and Harry showed them the room which went on to the balcony and explained about the wards stopping anyone from falling off when playing, before going round and showing the guest rooms.

"They are huge. Families could live in one of these." Greyback exclaimed.

"Really?" Harry asked, looking around, "There are individual rooms."

"You mean you didn't have these made bigger?"

"No…" Harry looked at his astonished look and shrugged sheepishly, "Well this place can fit many more than I thought, there are like 32 rooms this size."

"Gaea," He breathed and Harry grinned.

"The floor above this is just the same except the staff rooms are there, and some of those are taken by my trusted." Harry said shrugging, "So yeah, that's the manor."

"And you want to open this place to a pack of werewolves that you have never met?" Greyback confirmed incredulously,

"Yes,"

"Surely you must want something in return, an alliance, a binding?" Greyback couldn't seem to grasp that Harry wanted nothing from him.

"I want nothing, I've told you, Ellen came to me, and Moony is a wolf, that is enough for me to do this. I only ask that you promise no malicious damage to the property or my trusted." Harry told him firmly, "And I ask that you look after Moony, if anything happens to him then I will do everything in my power to end the one responsible."

"You know, you are entirely too protective." Moony rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything else, Harry smiled slightly.

"I know."

"How will I get the wolves here?" Greyback questioned and Harry grinned,

"I have made portkeys,"

"I just can't believe it." He shook his head, "This is everything we could ever want and need and you are just giving it to us. Why?"

"I know what it is like to be hated for something you cannot control, and if there is one thing that I abhor more than anything else in the world it is when people attack children; any children." Harry stated,

"You know, if this gets out what you have done, you will be persecuted."

"By the time the ministry find out who this sanctuary belongs to, I'll be running the wizengamot." Harry waved him off.

"You are really giving this to us, aren't you?"

"Yes, and it is already fully funded. Moony will be in charge here in the running of the manor and the things that he'll need to sort out like how food will be distributed, but the elves will be available for people to call anyway." Harry said to him,

"How many elves?"

"150+," Harry answered and grinned at the shock looked, "Yeah, I know,"

"I can do nothing but thank you," Greyback said, his voice full of sincerity and Harry smiled softly.

"I am only doing what I can and I can promise you, when I step in to power within the wizengamot I will destroy every restriction on your kind and build them back up again." Harry returned. They shook hands and Harry breathed in relief, the wolves would be safe when Greyback got out and spread the portkeys; he would go and collect Ellen next.

"I need to plan on where I am going to spread the word." Remus reminded Harry, "I have it worked out, but I'll need to finalise it and you said there was a forest that you knew held some wolves."

"Oh yeah," Harry remembered, "Come on, lets go outside, I know other me will be around here somewhere and I don't want to run in to me."

"What?"

"Timeturner." Harry led them back out in to the grounds, he grinned at Moony and punched him in the arm, "Tag, your it." He bolted away, changing in to his wolf form mid run and headed for the trees. Of course, the other two were werewolves and it wasn't long before Harry felt them snapping at his heels so he pushed himself further and used his agile frame to swerve in and out of the trees. Moony pounced on him sending them rolling across the ground and he yipped in amusement before bounding off, Harry barked and followed, snapping at his tail, and Greyback was running on the side of them. Harry managed to tag Moony just before they reached one of the hidden outbuildings and he changed back laughing and out of breath.

"You're fast, cub." Remus noted, walking in to the building.

"Thanks, I work out."

"You have managed to accept your wolf." Greyback said to Remus, his voice lined in surprise.

"It sort of just happened." Remus shrugged, "I only managed it when Harry got me out."

"He was being kept dosed with potions by Dumbledore." Harry added at the Alpha's confused look, his expression darkened and he growled.

"How dare he?"

"My sentiments exactly," Harry agreed, "Ok, wolves?"

"Well, as I've told you, Cub, I've spread rumours and they were picking up heat-,"

"That was you?" Greyback interrupted shocked, "The whispers of safety had reached the outer of my pack."

"Yes, I have contacts within some packs." Remus confirmed,

"I will confirm the rumours, and spread word that myself and another have the power to take any wolf seeking sanctuary to safety." Greyback said, "My first priority will be bringing my own pack here, but if I spread the word that there are portkeys being given out then they can be passed around."

"How quickly do you think the word will spread?" Harry asked,

"If I confirm the rumours which have already spread then you should have arrivals by the day after tomorrow." Greyback stated and Harry grinned.

"Wonderful, I need to go and seen Ellen tomorrow. Now that this is set up she can be brought in." Harry said pleased,

"Moonrise will be happy, she worries about all of us." Greyback said and Harry nodded,

"I know, and I am glad that I can help." Harry cast a tempus and blinked, "Damn it, its approaching 9 again."

"We've been here that long?" Remus said surprised and Harry nodded,

"I have to go and seen Narcissa yet." Harry grumbled, "Ok, we're going to need to go back and pick up from 7," he pulled out the turner and threw it over Moony and Greyback's necks, he turned the hourglass back twice and allowed the disconcerting feeling to stop before removing the chain and tucking it back in to his shirt.

"What was that?" Greyback demanded, shaking his head to clear it."

"Well, it is now approaching 7pm." Harry said brightly, "We'll go back to the manor, collect the portkeys and you two can be on your way."

"We've gone back in time." Greyback confirmed,

"Yep,"

"Oh,"

"Don't think about it, you'll get a head ache. I've already lived this day multiple times." Harry said and Greyback wisely nodded. Harry took them back to Malfoy Manor via the shadows and Tom didn't even blink when they appeared next to him, he merely held out the finished back of galleons and continued his conversation. Harry grinned at the Malfoys' surprised expression, Harry handed over the galleons to Greyback,

"There isn't a limit on each portkey, but anyone who is not a werewolf will find themselves thrown far away from the property so if one gets lost you needn't worry. The key word is sanctuary and, as I've said, it will take you to the ball room." Harry said and Greyback nodded,

"You are welcome within my pack whenever you wish." He said sincerely before turning and leaving,

"I'll use my timeturner so I can be at the manor in case anyone arrives earlier than expected. I've already set up an inventory and a check in system." Remus told Harry before following the Alpha wolf out.

"Any problems?"

"Only convincing him that I didn't want any payment for the sanctuary." Harry rolled his eyes,

"You know the reason why." Tom pointed out and Harry nodded,

"Of course, and I hate that the suspicion is there in the first place, but there is nothing I can do about it currently." Harry sighed, he was started to feel extremely light headed but he still had things he needed to do so he shoved it back and pulled himself together. "May I speak with Narcissa while you continue with Lucius?"

"By all means," Tom allowed and Harry nodded, he walked over to Cissa and threw up a silencer so they didn't interrupt each other.

"What can I do for you, Harry?" She asked warmly, and Harry smiled.

"I have it on good authority that you may be interested in working with some young children." Harry told her and she brightened.

"I do so love little ones. They are most adorable." She said and Harry grinned,

"I said that, but someone doesn't agree with me." He rolled his eyes and Cissa laughed,

"I do not doubt." She said, "What are you proposing?"

"I was going to suggest that I add you to the wards of the sanctuary so you would be able to go over and help with the cubs. Now that Greyback is going to spreading the word there will be many seeing refuge, and the cubs are the ones I am most worried about. There could be injuries and if they are anything as bad as what have been previous then your talents at healing would be greatly appreciated." Harry explained and she looked extremely interested.

"I believe that sounds like a delightful thing I could be doing." She stated, "But I would need to know what injuries have been seen in case I need to re-

practice certain things." Harry looked wary at that but understood her request,

"I do not wish to cause you any distress, but I agree that you need to see what has been coming in to Ellen." He said slowly,

"Is it so bad?"

"Unfortunately, it is much worse." Harry sighed, "Winky,"

"Master is calling?"

"Bring me the wolf file please." He asked and she popped away, returning with the file that had pushed him in to action. "Thanks, that will be all." He dismissed her before turning back to Narcissa, "All I can say is that the ones responsible are being dealt with as we speak." She raised an eyebrow and accepted the file, Harry watched has her pale skin lost more of its colour and her previous relaxed expression hardened in to a cold mask of fury. Her knuckles went white as she gripped the file and her eyes resembled chips of ice as she turned her attention back to Harry.

"They suffered,"

"As much as we could possibly make them." Harry assured,

"Good. You have my full commitment." She said and Harry grinned,

"Wonderful. I just need a drop of blood and I swear upon my magic that it is only for the wards and I shall not use it for anything other." Harry said and his magic flashed, Narcissa conjured a phial and allowed herself to bleed. Harry took the phial and vanished in to the shadows and in to the corridor of the ward stone, he entered the room and added Narcissa to the wards before leaving and heading back to the manor.

"There, all keyed in. Would you like to see it?" Harry asked,

"That would be lovely, Harry. I will have my cloak fetched." She agreed enthusiastically.

"We just have to be careful, I am currently walking around that manor twice." He said and then laughed at the bizarreness of that statement.

"Will you not see yourself?" She asked concerned,

"No, the manor is big enough that as long as I change my rout then we will not be seen. Besides, you need not see everything, only the first three floors."

"How many floors are there?" She questioned surprised,

"5 above ground," Harry asked and nodded in answer to her raised eyebrow, "Excessive." He politely held out his arm and she took it lightly, they vanished within the shadows and Harry took her to the front door.

"It is beautiful,"

"Welcome to the former Peverell Manor," Harry said and held the door open for her,

"This is very nice, Harry."

"Yes, it is." He agreed, "Now, I know that one of me is currently within the infirmary and another me is showing my friends the guest rooms. That means we should see the library, the training room and the multipurpose room before heading back down to see the ball room, the class room, the common room, the time out room and then heading down to see the infirmary."

"Lead the way," She said and they headed off. Harry didn't think he would ever get bored of the reactions to the library, he might even bring more people just for his personal enjoyment and he allowed Narcissa a few minutes to compose herself before leading to the multipurpose room, the den and the training room.

"I have to say I am highly impressed." Narcissa told him,

"Thank you, I have to admit I was stunned when I first walked around the building." He said leading her down the opposite staircase to which his other self was walking up, he knew that he was also walking up the same staircase on to the top floor and it was so weird to know where he was while going somewhere else. They went through to the ball room where Harry conveniently ignored Narcissa's squeal of excitement when she saw it, and he mentally apologised to Lucius because he had a feeling that Malfoy Manor would soon be under renovation. They went on to the class room and then the common room and the timeout room before going down stairs to the infirmary,

"Oh, this is very nice." Narcissa murmured looking around, "I think I could make myself very at home here."

"I know that Luna and Ellen will be here too, Luna is self taught and Ellen is a specialist on werewolves so I am sure that the three of you will work very well together." Harry said and Narcissa nodded,

"What of the potions we will be needing?"

"Ellen is capable, and I do believe your son has already taken a lab for himself. He is incredibly talented." Harry told her and she beamed at the praise towards Draco.

"He has come a long way."

"You are now free to come and go here whenever you wish, and I will alert you when the wolves start coming in."

"That will be lovely, Harry." Narcissa said, "Is there anything else?"

"No, we can be off." They left through the shadows and walked back in to the room where Lucius and Tom were still discussing the ministry.

"Is everything in order?" Tom asked him,

"Yes, everyone has been given a tour, and the plans have been put in to action." Harry confirmed.

"I do not doubt that Greyback will move quickly." Tom mused, Harry nodded and then he stumbled when he was hit with a wave of nausea and dizziness, his vision went blurry and started to go black around the edges.

"Cissa, would you mind so much if I spent the night?" Harry asked, and his voice slurred in places.

"Are you ok?" She questioned worried,

"Yeah, I'm fine," He waved her off, holding his arms out for balance, "I'm just going to pass out now, so don't mind me." And with that his eyes rolled back and he collapsed, it was only the fact that Tom was waiting for him to drop that he didn't hit the floor.

"Honestly, he does not listen to anyone's advice." Tom muttered, rolling his eyes as he conjured a couch and led Harry on it.

"Is he ok, My Lord?"

"It is merely because he had overtaxed himself. He has recently suffered two bouts of magical exhaustion within a number of days and today he has used the timeturner at least 3 times and he hasn't slept in between. He thought it best to flush his system with pepper up." Tom explained, shaking his head.

"Oh my," Narcissa murmured, "That is not good for his system."

"Try explaining that fact to him." Tom said, "He has absolutely no regard for his personal safety or health whatsoever, and yet he throws his entire attentions in to protecting others."

"He is a mystery, My Lord," Lucius said, "He knows he is dangerous and he is as dark as they come, and yet he is… different."

"His entire group reminds me of the elite, the way in which they coordinate together and their power and talents, and yet Harry still protects them all. He is a puzzle."

"And what he has done for the wolves, Lucius, if you could see it." Narcissa shook her head, "I cannot put it in to words."

"I swear he enjoys making questions." Tom sighed, "Now, Lucius, you were speaking about Hadrian Greengrass."

"He is like a man possessed, My Lord. He received a tip off and he has been tearing in to court transcripts ever since, he completely dropped his inquiry in to Dumbledore's latest legislation to put his efforts in to this." Lucius explained, "There was no warning either."

"What year is he looking in to?" Tom asked, his mind working quickly.

"The year of your disappearance, My Lord."

"He is investigating the missing trial of one Sirius Black." Tom stated, not doubting his words. It made sense, if Harry was communicating with Hadrian Greengrass there would be no one better than he to be put on the trail of Sirius Black's missing trial.

"That did not occur to me, My Lord," Lucius admitted, "But now you have said it, it makes sense as Mr Potter-Black is in communication with Hadrian."

"I will ask him about it tomorrow to confirm it." Tom said, "However, I am sure that is what Hadrian is searching for."

"Is there anything you wish of me, My Lord?" Lucius asked and Tom shook his head,

"Nothing as of yet, but continue your work within the ministry as per usual." Tom said rising to his feet, "Do not worry about housing him, I shall take him back to the castle so he does not have to relive the day before he even starts it again." Tom flicked his wand and levitated Harry over to him, he took hold of the teen and apperated away. He smirked at Harry's aversion to apperation even while unconscious, he went to put Harry down but the teen did not want to let go of him and Tom rolled his eyes. His business was finished for the day so he wasn't opposed to some extra hours of sleep, not that he had much of a choice by the vice like grip Harry had him in.

"Impossible," He muttered, flicking his wand to change them both and with difficulty got in to bed.

---

"How the hell did I end up here?" Harry murmured, his voice muffled as he had not moved from where he was curled in to Tom.

"It may have something to do with you refusing to let go of me while unconscious." Tom told him amused and his amusement only grew when he saw Harry's cheeks flush.

"I did no such thing." He denied while internally cursing himself.

"Is that so? And what, do you suppose, happened instead?" Tom drawled,

"You got lonely and decided to steal lil ol' me." Harry stated with a sure nod, Tom raised an eyebrow.

"Really?"

"Uhuh,"

"I decided to steal you, did I?"

"Yep. Sounds like something an evil Dark Lord would do." Harry said surely.

"Indeed,"

"What time is it? I feel like I have slept for hours."

"You have, it is approaching 8am." Tom told him,

"Huh, well at least I'm fully recovered now." Harry said, sitting up and stretching.

"You should have rested yourself fully yesterday." Tom said and Harry shrugged,

"Meh, I'm alive."

Tom rolled his eyes and refrained from physically hitting Harry across the head, instead, he got up and headed for the shower.

"I'm not catching you the next time you collapse." Tom informed him,

"Awh what? That's a bit unfair." Harry cried, grinning.

"Get ready golden boy, you have things to do." Tom called and Harry scowled at the door.

"I hate you."

Harry called his elf for his clothes and books while the castle provided another shower for him to freshen up, he felt tons better than he did before and he reminded himself not to take too many pepper ups in one day. Harry cast his glamour and headed out, he picked up his bag and waved to Tom as he went to live a joyous day as Harry Potter: the golden boy of Gryffindor. It was tiring, going through the same boring things day in when he knew he could do so much better than what he was allowed. The confrontation with Dumbledore was approaching if they kept to their timeline and that was the only thing stopping Harry completely losing his mind, that and he had Tom to vent his frustrations on. He was happy to see Luna already in his rooms when he returned and he dropped down in to his chair.

"Hey Ray," He greeted,

"You should have rested yesterday." She stated and Harry rolled his eyes.

"I am aware."

"Just so you know." She quipped and Harry shook his head with a slight smile.

"Yeah yeah. I'm sure you want to know how everything went." Harry said,

"He accepted,"

"Of course he accepted, but before that we had a conversation and I introduced him to Moony." Harry said and her eyes widened.

"How did he take it?"

"There was a bit of a revelation actually." Harry said to her, "Turns out that John Lupin wasn't as wonderful as he was made out to be, and Remus took it hard. I've left him with Greyback because they needed to bond or whatever packmates do."

"Did it take much to convince Greyback?"

"Quite a lot actually, he couldn't seem to understand that I didn't want anything in return. And it was only after we had been through the entire manor did he understand that I wanted nothing." Harry told her, "After that, I was welcomed in to his pack."

"You really pulled it off."

"And I have Narcissa on board for the infirmary, you and Ellen will meet her and she will be available."

"Brilliant. Are you intending to go to Ellen today?" Luna asked,

"Yes, I am going to change and leave. I merely wished to check in with you." Harry answered,

"Thank you,"

"Did everything go ok within the manor yesterday?"

"Snake, I know you told us that it big and that you had it done, but it was immense." She gushed, "It was more than I could have ever imagined."

"It will be good for the wolves, I am hoping that Greyback would have already began spreading the word."

"No doubt he would have." Luna said surely, "He wants his pack safe."

"Are you going to go over to the manor?"

"Yes, I'm already there." Luna said, "I'm going to be living there with Paws."

"Make sure you sleep enough, and please be careful." Harry said and she nodded,

"Don't worry about me. You need to work on looking after yourself." Luna stated looking at him sternly, Harry rolled his eyes.

"I will be fine," Harry got up and stretched, "Honestly, you should stop worrying."

"I'll stop worrying when this is over."

"Yeah, me too." He sighed. Harry went up to his room and changed his clothes, he grabbed a black cloak and went back down to the living room. "I'm going, I'm hoping to get Ellen at the manor tonight."

"Be careful." She warned, Harry kissed her cheek and vanished in to the shadows, landing in Knockturn Alley. He kept to the shadows and observed, there was something off about the alley, more so than usual, and his eyes darted around. He moved silently toward Ellen's store when he saw them, there was a group of people that stood out to him. They were heading in the same direction as he was and Harry used his shadows to get closer to them and listen to their hushed whispering.

"It's been marked," One of them hissed, "It's the one on the corner, and it can't be shut down."

"It's getting its funding from somewhere." Another said, "We haven't been able to track the investor, and the clearance that Madam Umbridge gave us has been wiped since Greengrass took the job." Harry felt his blood run cold when he heard Umbridge's name, these were part of the WPP, and the only place they would be interested in down in Knockturn would be Ellen's, and there was no way they were going to get her. Harry vanished and appeared directly in to Ellen's store and rushed through to the back, he followed the sounds down to her potions lab and Ellen span around in shock to face him.

"Harry!"

"Hey," He greeted, "We need to leave."

"What?" She exclaimed in shock, "What do you mean, leave?"

"Exactly what it sounds like." Harry said, "They're about to hit your shop, the scum from the WPP." Her eyes widened in horror.

"What am I going to do? Everything is here, the wolves rely on me to heal them. I can't leave them."

"Ellen, you have to come with me. They will kill you if you stay here, and I know the wards are strong, Merlin knows I paid for the best, but they will get in eventually. There are just too many of them." Harry implored,

"But I am the only one that can help them, without me the wolves would be left untreated and the death rate will go up so high." She shook her head furiously, "If only the rumours were true."

"You need to shut down the wards now, they're nearly here."

"Right," She went in to a dark room and splashed blood on the ward stone and the wards flared to life, Harry had to admit that he was very impressed with their strength, and it might buy them some extra time to pack all of the needed stuff.

"Rumours?" Harry asked,

"There is talk among the wolves about some 'sanctuary' which is being open for wolves only, a safe haven for all of us to go." She explained rolling her eyes, her voice was filled with derision as she spoke and she completely missed Harry's huge grin.

"You've heard them, then? I didn't think they would move this quickly." He questioned lightly, already packing her ingredients away in conjured cases.

"What do you mean?" She looked at him and Harry smiled.

"What did I swear to do when you handed me the wolf cases?" Harry said with a raised eyebrow and Ellen gaped.

"You can't mean-,"

"That this sanctuary is the real deal? That is exactly what I mean."

"But the amount of money and land you would need…" She shook her head, "That shouldn't be possible."

"It's already done and I have people who will be working with you if you agree to run it." Harry said looking at her pointedly,

"Wait, you mean you didn't come to stop the attack?"

"No, I only noticed them when I got here. I would have been coming for you anyway. I swore I would fix this, and this is what I have." Harry said softly, and then winced when he felt the wards shake, "And right now we have to get all of your things packed because the wards are going to be coming down soon." Ellen went around in a mad rush packing everything in to the trunks Harry was conjuring for her to use, the main thing was her books where she had created potions to help and heal the wolves, and Harry made sure to protect that trunk more than anything as he shrunk them all down and put them in his pockets. He felt the wards begin to a fray and cursed, Ellen was about to rush to pack her own clothes but the wards snapped and Harry grabbed her and shadowed them out just as he heard multiple screams of Bombarda Maxima. He fell out of the shadows in the entrance hall of the manor, a shard of glass sticking out of his collar and he groaned.

"Ow!"

"You just saved my life." Ellen gasped, shocked, "They weren't even going to take me it."

"I told you, they're scum." Harry stated.

"What is this place?" Ellen asked, looking around in awe.

"This, my dear Ellen, is the Werewolf sanctuary." Harry told her,

"You've used a pureblood manor as a sanctuary?" She murmured, stunned.

"Yep, my pureblood manor actually. Come on, let's get to the infirmary and you can watch as my sister, who will be helping with the healing and looking after the cubs, yells at me." Harry said brightly.

"People have already volunteered to help?"

"Yes, you have two in the infirmary. An upcoming potions master who will be at your disposal, along with two who know their potions and will also be helping in anything that you need. I have two here to help teach the cubs and general running of the place, one running the greenhouse and two more for anything they're needed in. And of course, me!" Harry explained,

"But how are the wolves going to get here?"

"Greyback is already spreading the word and Moony was the one who started the rumours. They've got portkeys that will bring the wolves to the ball room, I'll show it to you in a minute, it's the check in room and I think Moony is there to check in any wolves that have arrived earlier than expected." Harry told her,

"I thought you said that Moony was out spreading the word."

"Yes, he is. However, he has a timeturner, so he is currently doing both." Harry said and Ellen blinked.

"So you have Alpha on board?"

"Yes, can you not smell him? He was here yesterday." Harry said and Ellen inhaled deeply,

"I can." She realised, "That must be why Drew was called. Alpha said it was crucial to Pack survival."

"Probably," Harry agreed. They arrived in the infirmary and Harry was surprised to see both Luna and Narcissa there, and they were working over books on werewolf anatomy. They looked around at his entry and both of them seemed to zero in on his injury, it might have something to do with the fact that there was a piece of glass sticking out of his shoulder, he knew better than take it out.

"What happened?" Luna demanded, "I am pretty sure I would have told you to be careful before you left this evening."

"I was careful!" Harry defended, "The thing that the Eaters has heard rumours about, you know, that thing building in Knockturn? Turns out that the WPP was hitting Ellen's shop tonight and they were on the move when I got there. We were lucky, I had already commissioned wards for the place or it wouldn't only have been this injury. We got out just as they blew the place." Harry shrugged and then cursed viciously.

"Stand still," Narcissa ordered. She carefully extracted the shard as Luna siphoned off the excess blood, and then with a wave of her wand the wound healed over without a scar, leaving the area merely red. "There,"

"I thank you, my Lady." He swiftly kissed her hand, and she smiled slightly,

"You and your charm." She muttered,

"But of course. Now, where are my manners?" He straightened up and brought Ellen over, who seemed to be too shocked to speak.

"Ladies, allow me to introduce the wonderful Ellen. Ellen, please let me introduce the beautiful Lady Narcissa Malfoy and my wonderful sister, Luna Lovegood."

"Very nice to meet you." Ellen said, finding her voice.

"And you, Harry has spoken highly of you." Narcissa said graciously,

"These are the two who I said would be helping in the infirmary," Harry said, "Narcissa is the best healer around, and Luna is an upcoming healer."

"You broke impossible, didn't you?" Ellen asked Harry rhetorically, she turned to the two ladies, "I cannot thank you enough for this."

"Now, we got everything out didn't we?"

"Everything except my clothes, I didn't have time to get them." Ellen said and Harry blinked,

"Oh! Well, that won't do. Mippy?" He called, trying to remember the name of the elf he wanted. An unfamiliar elf popped in and bowed to him,

"What cans Mippy bes doing for Master Harry?"

"Do you take care of tailoring?" He asked and she nodded her head.

"Mippy is being in charge of everything for serving, master." She answered and Harry smiled.

"Wonderful. As I am sure you have been told by Nip, things are set to become very busy here soon. And this lovely lady here is going to be in charge with Moony. Now, I want her to have a personal elf, possibly one who has been working within the infirmary before as that will be her main place. I also want you to make sure that all of her sizes have been taken and I want a full wardrobe to be commissioned, everything that she wants done I want made and it will be taken out of the Peverell vault. Can you see to that?" Harry completely ignored Ellen's spluttering and her insisting that it was too much by focussing on the elf who was looking delighted and nodding happily.

"Mippy cans be doing that, sir."

"Good, now can you make sure that all of her things are taken and set up within the Queen suit please?"

"Right away, master." Mippy popped out, taking the shrunken trunks that Harry handed to her and he finally turned back to a gaping Ellen.

"What did you just do?" She whispered and Harry blinked,

"Nothing,"

"But – you – I," She stuttered and Harry smiled brightly,

"Come, let me show you around so you know where everything is and then you can settle in to your room before getting acquainted with everything. We'll start with the labs as they're closest, before moving on to the lands and then back in to the manor." Harry said, leading her out, "I will see you both soon." He called to Narcissa and Luna, and left. He took Ellen down to the labs and pointed out the one Draco had claimed as his own,

"I'll send Bleach over to help you stock up on all of the potions you'll need and you can have whatever space you need." Harry said,

"Ok, I'm going to be here for a while. If this place is open to all wolves then I'm going to need loads of potions."

"Don't worry about that. With you, Bleach, Manic and Panic it shouldn't take too long. And if needed, Bleach, Manic and Panic can be here twice."

"That is going to be strange." Ellen muttered and Harry grinned,

"You'll get used to it." He assured her, "Now, I'm only going to take you to the south point so you can see the overview of the lands."

"Right,"

Harry vanished them within the shadows and they appeared outside, Ellen gasped as she looked out to the stretches of land.

"What's yours?"

"Everything you see comes with the manor, which means everything you see is now part of the Sanctuary. The entire perimeter is warded only to allow wolves in, and those I have personally selected." He explained, "That means you all will be perfectly safe because even on the off change they find this place they will never get in, and then, if they do, which I doubt highly, me and mine will be here and we are enough to hold them off so I can slam up the main wards again."

"You have outdone yourself." She murmured, "This is beyond anything I could have ever hoped for."

"This is the best I could offer. Everything you and your people could need will be given to you here, the elves are under instructions to obey you and Moony and to give those staying here anything they want as long it doesn't harm me or mine, of course. The manor, as you will see in a moment, has 32 guest suits, which, according to Greyback, could fit families and not just individual people like I had intended. There are also 18 outbuildings scattered around the lands to hold those who are used to or have missed living inside. Everything has been warded and is cub proof meaning they can run wild and not be in fear of falling of a balcony or getting in to places they shouldn't. You'll have to be keyed in to the 'staff' wards and you'll have your own study to work in, and I know Moony wants to go through things with you, because he has had more time to plan things and if you are both running this then you'll need to work together." Harry told her and then added, "You will help run this, right?"

"What? Of course I will!" She exclaimed, "Harry, I don't think you understand what you have done. This – this is something I cannot even put in to words. This will save the werewolf population within this country and if the word spreads then you may have foreign wolves coming to seek safety. I can't believe this." She threw her arms around him and Harry stumbled slightly, her repeated thank you's muffled in his cloak.

"You are completely welcome." Ha said, "Wanna see the rest?" she nodded in to his shoulder and he laughed slightly, they moved through the shadows and Harry started with the master study where he took a bit of her blood to key her in to the wards, the only reason she got in was because she was him and he was a walking override. He walked her around to the queen study where Mippy had set her journals on the book cases along with a few of the books, and Harry smiled.

"Well, this one is yours." He said, "You have to invite anyone in if they want access, unless they are keyed in to the staff wards." Ellen nodded to show she understood and they moved on to the training room, where Swift and Venom were duelling furiously, and Harry laughed.

"This is Swift and Venom, they'll be available to help when needed, and, as you can see, they are very apt in the art of duelling so they could teach fighting. I know that they are trained in hand to hand too, I made sure Swift was and Venom is an assassin." Harry said,

"Wow, they look really good."

"They are," Harry agreed. He showed her the bathrooms, the multipurpose room and she fell in love with the den.

"Awe, this is perfect." She cooed and Harry grinned,

"I have my moments," He joked. He showed her the library and dragged her away when she stopped gaping, they only seen one of the guest rooms because they were practically the same and she agreed with Greyback.

"Alpha was right, these are huge." She exclaimed, looking at them wide eyed.

"They came like them, so I left them." Harry shrugged, "Come on," He showed her the 'staff' floor and what rooms had already been taken, and then he led her to her room. "Tah dah,"

"This is my room."

"Yep, what do you think?"

"I think that you are out of your mind." She stated, walking in to the huge room. Just like the rest of the manor, it was decked in the Peverell colours and this room was done in shades of purple with spats of black within it. The carpet was a fluffy, rich, royal purple, while the walls were a deep plum. There were two huge windows that framed the massive four poster bed, the drapes surrounding the bed were a purple mesh artistically twisted around the ebony frame. All the wood furniture was ebony and the two doors leading to the bath room and the dressing room matched that, the sofa, which was placed in front of the black marble fireplace, was of a deep purple. The bathroom was done in black tile and clear glass and there was a large mirror on the opposite wall making it look larger.

"So, do you like it?" Harry asked when they were back in the bedroom.

"This is fantastic." She said, "I think I'm in shock."

"Well, we haven't quite finished just yet. We have to see the main floor and I think Moony is in the ball room, which is where we'll finish." Harry said. Harry showed her the opposite staircase and then led her around the main floor. He showed her the class room, the common room, the time out room and then the dining room.

"As you can see, there are many littler tables for people to come and eat. I am not sure how Moony intends to run the food, but I do know that there will be food available for everyone." Harry said and Ellen smiled.

"I think that will be the biggest shock, being able to eat a meal, a proper meal." She murmured looking around, and, unnoticed to her, Harry's fist clenched at that simple thought.

"Final room is the ball room, it's the check in room." Harry said, pushing back his anger. He led her around and found the ball room doors open, Moony was bustling about organising things and he had chosen a long table at the very end to set up a book and a basket.

"Hey Moony," Harry called as he walked in.

"Hey Cub," He returned and then smiled at Ellen. "You are Moonrise,"

"Yes, I assume that you are Harry's uncle, he speaks highly of you." Ellen said, "You are also the lost cub that has been found,"

"Huh, that's a popular rumour." Remus chuckled, "I think Alpha has been spreading that around as much as the sanctuary."

"Can I leave you two to get on with it? I have to get back and inform Tom and the others of today's outcome." Harry said and the pair nodded,

"We'll be fine, Cub. You go." Moony waved him off and Harry grinned,

"Thanks, see you soon." Harry used the shadows and vanished before them. Ellen was still looking around the room in shock and Moony smiled slightly.

"It is pretty unbelievable, isn't it?" He said quietly, and she released a shout of laughter.

"Unbelievable?" She repeated, "He doesn't understand, he doesn't know just what he has done."

"No, Harry has a very different outlook on the world. Things that most would consider too much or too extravagant do not register to him, and it shows with this. This, to him, is what needed to be done, not more that could have been done." Remus told her and she snorted,

"Why am I not surprised? I mean, when he came to me and said he was going to invest, I expected a start up of a couple of galleons. What did I get? 10,000 galleons every month, which he doubled since the last time I saw him." Ellen shook her head and Remus grinned,

"Did he replace your wardrobe too?" He asked and Ellen nodded,

"Full wardrobe, no arguments," She confirmed,

"Yeah, that's Harry." Remus shrugged, "Right, want to get down to business? No one has arrived yet, but Alpha did tell them to pack up and wait the night if they could before coming."

"So tomorrow we should expect some wolves?"

"Yes, now, what I've done here-," He led her over to the table, "Is, I have got a book which will log all wolves that we check in alphabetically so we can find them if its needed. It will also link those who are in smaller family packs together so we know which cubs belong which which family. So, one of us will write them in and the book with sort and order it."

"Impressive," She nodded, "Have you got a rota on where the wolves will be going?"

"I was thinking that we could ask what they would prefer and once we've worked out if they're indoor or outdoor we could work around that."

"Ok, and there is much more inside space as the rooms here are big enough to hold family packs." Ellen said, "I think there will be quite a few packs that want to stay outside."

"Yes, and they can set up wherever they want. I think there is enough land." He joked.

"Definitely,"

"Now, I've sorted the food with the elves and the best way I can organise it would be in Hogwarts style. I've had another large table bought and the food will be brought up and everyone can help themselves, that way, the food can stay up for a few hours and it doesn't matter if people miss the 'breakfast' times. We'll do breakfast 6:30 till 11, then from 11:30 until 2 we'll do sandwiches and lunch, from 2:30 until 4 we'll do snacks such as cakes, biscuits and other such things, from 4:30 until 7 we'll do dinner, from 7:30 until 11 we'll do light snacks such as biscuits and hot drinks. All through the day they'll be drinks available, milk, water, juices, hot drinks and other things that the elves can come up with. We'll do special menus on certain days, and we'll have a 4 week menu that we'll rotate." Remus told her and Ellen looked impressed.

"You've really thought this out."

"I know what I have missed when I've been staying with some packs and this was the best I could come up with so that no one goes hungry." Remus shrugged, "Of course, there are going to be those who are not comfortable in this setting, so I was going to set up something outside where they could still get food."

"Eventually, everyone will be comfortable being inside again."

"That's the plan."

"Do you know everyone who is going to be helping?" Ellen asked,

"Yes, the book was given to me by Paws. I gave her the idea and she made it, all I have to do a tap my want on the book and it will find what I want."

"They are good people then?" She inquired, biting her lip in worry.

"The best you will ever meet." Remus stated,

"I still can't believe what he has done, this entire thing, I'm overwhelmed."

"I know, its more than anything you would have ever imagined." Remus said, " I know I felt the same way when he showed it to me."

"It is. Ok, so I have potions to make as an outline for tomorrow, I think I shall be getting on with that." Ellen decided,

"Bleach and the twins arrived about 10 minutes ago, so they will be able to help you make the potions. That way, we can have a stock going."

"Right, how advanced can they brew?"

"I am pretty sure that Bleach, at least, will be able to tackle anything you throw at him."

"Ok, this is good, I'll just go get my things."

"Call an elf, they'll bring it to you."

"I'll have to remember that." She muttered and left the room, Remus laughed,

"You have definitely outdone yourself, Cub."

Tah dahhh! Ellen is safe and the Sanctuary should be up and running soon! I do hope you like it, and I would be very pleased if you would drop a review!

Thanks,

Jess*
