A/N Thanks for your reviews and support.
Wolf11: Thanks for your review my friend. Things are rarely as they seem. I cannot say who currently killed her. As for his reaction to Harry being a wolf. He suspected it for at least deep down. All the clues were there he just had to piece it together. Yes the search be even more intensive than before.
WhiteElfElder: Thanks for your review my friend. I laughed way to hard at this. It's so true. People are morons that's all I can say. Blind to what's right in front of them because they dont like what they see.
Remus' POV
The meeting ground was high in the Scottish mountains. If it wasn't for the pull in his heart Remus would have never found it. There was little wonder why the wolf stronghold was never found by the humans who hunted them. Even for a wolf getting to the meeting was difficult.
By the time he reached the top he could feel his age showing. Remus was not as young as he used to be. He wasn't as accepting of his wolf side as others were either. It made the changes difficult and painful. Still he pushed through it to make his way to the meeting.
Wolves of all ages and colors were scattered across the grounds. Some had tents pitched. Others simply built fires and lay next to them. The northern side of the grounds was cordoned off however. That was where the main part of the meeting would take place. Where the high council would decide what needed to happen from here on.
As a lunar wolf Remus knew he wouldn't be accepted into the camps that were already made. Those were mainly for clans and major packs. He would have to set up his own camp on the outskirts.
As he walked towards an open spot of snowy ground he scented a familiar scent. One that sparked anger in his heart. The scent of the dark forest, Fenrir Greyback. It took all of his self control not to turn around and attack the other. It was because of that lunar wolf that he was a werewolf.
Remus kept walking knowing if he stopped he would attack the older wolf. He was without a wolf pack and the closest he had was Sirius. James was too busy to do anything on the full moon any longer. Peter turned out to be a traitor. It was only good fortune that they found out before anything terrible happened. This would make him claiming a spot here difficult. He would not be able to fight off even a pack of young wolves by himself.
Remus was thankful when a few hours later he was still undisturbed. He had built a fire and put up the tent he brought with him. There was no telling how long he would be here for. Some meetings lasted a few hours. While others lasted several days to even a week or two. It all depended on what they were debating.
Given who's birthday was just a few weeks priors, it could take awhile. The Heir of the Okami clan lived and would be taking his journey by now. There wasn't a single wolf alive who didn't know the story of their downfall. It was passed down as a reminder and a warning. One did not disobey Inuzaka clan. It would only bring death and destruction down upon them.
Two days passed since his arrival to the mountain. Wolves came and went like the strays they were. Remus for his part stuck around. He couldn't risk not hearing what the council had to say. If the wolves were going back to war he had to know. He was likely the only wolf that would alert regular humans to what was happening.
There was movement on the northern side of the grounds. It drew the attention of many weary wolves. The full moon had been the night before. Many of them wanted nothing more than to sleep the day away. Despite this they wanted to hear what was going on.
Five men and one woman came into the middle of the grounds. The six current members of the high council. This was the first time he had seen the council in its entirety.
A lead man with brown hair and hazel eyes lead them. It was the Head of the Inuzaka clan. All wolves despite their sleepiness was now on their feet. Head bowed respectively to the most dangerous wolf in their world.
The man said in a deep baritone voice, "Wolves I, welcome you all back to the meeting grounds. Some of you are new to the grounds. While others I have known for many years. Whether new or old I welcome you back. I am Tarren, leader of the Inuzaka clan. I am one of the six heads of the High Wolf Council."
That brought some mummurings out of the other wolves. Most of it came from the younger wolves. All it took was an angery look from the olders for them to quiet again.
Tarren said once it was quiet again, "You are all wondering why you are here. Why after so long a council meeting has been called. I am here to answer those questions."
He paused before continuing, "The last time we all gathered like this it was a dark time. One of our own betrayed us to the the humans. They went so far as to mate with the one the humans call the Dark Lord Voldemort."
Those who had ties to the human world made their outrage known. Remus held back. There was only one who fell in love with the Dark Lord. Lillian but she had also worked as a spy for Dumbledore. So what was the truth?
Tarren said in a colder tone, "Another human came to us. A Noble, "roars of outrage sounded louder now. Wolves young and old sounded their displeasure.
A human Noble. Even Remus hated them for forcing wolves into hiding. It was because of the Nobles, wolves like Greyback existed. The same people kept him from living a normal life.
Another leader far older than Tarren roared in anger, "Silence! Hold your tongues until he is finished."
It was no normal command. It was a command of an alpha wolf. A command felt by every wolf not on the council. Silence quickly followed many of them looking like chastised children.
Tarren continued as if he was never interrupted, "This Noble left behind his weapon and came alone. He came knowing that his life was forfeit the moment he stepped on these sacred grounds. Despite this he showed us the trechary of the Okami Clan Head. It was with that information and an investigation of our own that we uncovered the truth. The Okami Clan would rather live amongst the humans than their own kind. That they were willing to kill fellow wolves to achieve their own goals. Wolves who did nothing wrong! So it was with this we made the attack on the clan grounds."
Anger rose up once more among the wolves. However this time they were able to keep it nearly silent. No one wanted to be reprimanded a second time. It made one feel smaller than an untried puppy.
Another took over for Tarren this time it was the old woman. She said her grey eyes looking out over them, "To preserve the blood but not the line we allowed one pup to live. A young wolf by the name of Kiba. He was a protector's heir. Until two weeks ago he was learning from Black Forest clan. Two weeks ago he escaped and we believe he is now on a journey. During this time another journey was begun. A black spirit raven was seen flying north with a black wolf chasing it."
Gasps sounded. There was only one clan that would have an heir old or young enough to make a journey. The Okami Clan heir lived. Lillian's son was still alive.
Remus had thought that Harrison had died. Dumbledore also thought the younger twin died. He searched for the boy as promised but there was no sign of him. Eventually Remus had given up hope on ever finding Harrison.
Now he knew that the boy was alive and the general direction of travel. Following a black spirit raven. It seemed he would need to get a move on if he wanted to catch up. Wolves as a whole would be making their move. What was said next however made his blood run glacier cold.
Tarren spoke this time, "We believe a legend of old has been activated. If you all remember the Legend of the Book of the Moon, "that wasn't just any legend. It was every bedtime story told to wolves since the beginning of time.
Legend of the Book of the Moon was better known as the Legend of Paradise. It was said if one followed the directions of the Book of the Moon they could find paradise. Even Remus who grew up with humans had heard of it.
It was said there was a book given to each of the clans by the moon . The books however had been burned by humans during the war. The war killed more than half of the living wolves at the time. Both lunar and spirit wolves went in hiding after the war. Not a single Book of the Moon was recovered or saved after the war.
No one had seen the legend in more than a hundred years. Remus knew that if they followed the legend things could get dicey. A new war would start between the wolves and humans. Remus was going to need to warn the Order of the Phoenix before going after Harrison.
Harrison's POV
Three weeks passed since he was given a job as a janitor. Harrison and Kiba switched back and forth between day and night shift. Working daily they learned the guards rotations. With that information they worked out a plan to break in.
The plan would only work until they reached the lower levels. From there it would be a matter of avoiding detection. There was only so much one could do without having clearance to the lower levels.
That night they waited until two o'clock in the morning before they made their move. It was twenty minutes before the next guard rotation and using the air vents they could enter the building unseen. From there they would make their way to the stairs.
Kiba had swiped a set of keys from one of the guards the night before. No one would be looking for a set of astray teenagers. Or for someone who stole a set of keys.
Harrison asked pulling a pair of warm gloves on, "Are you ready, Kiba?"
The brown haired boy answered calmly, "As ready as I can be. If we get caught they won't let us go again, Lukas. Are we sure we should be doing this tonight?"
Harrison answered looking up at the second full moon, "If we don't do it tonight we will continue to make excuses. Then we will be stuck here for God knows how long. We cannot move on with our journies until this is done."
Kiba sighed, "You're right. Let's go."
