A/N: Hello all and welcome to another chapter of wolf as promised I would post it in a week's time sense I posted that note.

A/A/N: Sorry about that before folks I just realised I posted the unbetaed chapter before and my new beta pointed it out to me just this morning so sorry about that everyone and here's the real chapter… sorry again.

Chapter 9: His Past.

Over the next month no one really saw Shadow Fang and Tonks save Mad-eye Moody and the day of the second Quidditch match and also a Hogsmeade weekend. There time being spent teaching SF how to talk again as after so long where the only way he could communicate by written or barking and such it was clear he had nearly forgotten how.

It was the first week of December when Tonks walked up to Albus' office and had a quick talk with him before returning to her quarters not long after delivering her message to the aged man to get Madam Bones and come to her quarters as they had a story to tell.

An hour later Amelia walked into their quarters SF seating calmly in a seat to one side while Tonks was leaning against the back of the chair one hand rubbing the back of his head while she rested her chin against her other hand just watching the two people before them.

"Hello, Madam Bones, Professor Dumbledore, it's nice to finally be able to greet you like one human to another." Shadow Fang said in a deep guttural voice as his jaw was proving to be a very big problem for shaping some of his words and it seemed to both guests that some of his words were only just understandable for now but only time would tell if he would improve.

"I'm impressed you have come this far in such a short amount of time my boy, good work on adapting to talking with that shaped jaw and such." Albus says a little surprised really at how well SF was talking as he thought it would take a year to get this far but then again given how long they had been working on this and the lack of sightings of the pair over the past month or more it shouldn't be that surprising.

"I have a very good teacher," He growled out turning his head enough to look up at Tonks and even lick her cheek suddenly Tonks making a face and wiping her cheek at the sudden attack by his tongue. "I have asked for both of you here so that I can tell you both how I ended up like this, so get conformable and I'll tell my tale that started five years ago, a day I was still called Harry Potter."

Flashback

It was a cold December morning that found one Harry Potter walking slowly away from school, silently wondering and working out what chores he had to deal with the moment he got back home if he wanted to eat dinner that night.

The thought of the overweight Uncle Vernon bearing down on him making him shake a little the same with the equally fat son didn't help the image either, the image always having the two yelling or punching him for failing to do something fast enough or just for the fun of it.

Harry didn't really know why his Uncle hated him so much; he couldn't see why he had to be half starved and beaten all the time just because he was a little different. Okay he did view things different to normal people, as it was almost wolfish the way he viewed things, him the loyal runt of the litter and Dudley the pick of said litter.

Giving another sigh Harry walked in the house that would never be called home to him; he had only just entered the house when his Aunt thrust a list into his hand and ordered him to work. Harry just gave yet another sigh and went off to do his chores.

Harry worked hard over the next hour or so but he know that no matter how fast or hard he worked there was no chances of getting anything to eat this night after crossing off only the second item on the ten item long list.

Getting ready to go and start on dinner as it was the last thing on the list but if it was late by so much as a minute he would be beaten Harry had only just taken a few steps when his Uncle's hand reached out and took him by the neck. His cousin laughing off from the side as Harry started to kick wildly to get out of the iron grip of his Uncle.

"Boy you are late for making dinner so guess what that means." Vernon snarled out throwing Harry into the wall and bringing his hand around a moment later to slap him in the face Harry's head turning with the blow.

"You're nothing but a unless brat just like your bitch of a mother and father, why we should keep looking after you is beyond me but I think tonight we'll try and beat everything out of you." Vernon says, bringing his hand around for another punch Harry just taking the blow and falling back into the wall sliding down it to his knees.

Petunia calmly walked by while her husband continued to punch and even start to kick Harry saying as she goes with her nose up in the air. "Try not to get any blood on the carpet dear I just had it cleaned, also I'll start on dinner."

"Of course, dear." Vernon says before going back to beating on the defenceless eight year old that was now in a tight ball and not moving while shielding himself as best he could from the oncoming attack Dudley joining his father in the attack a moment later.

Vernon stopped after a few minutes when he heard something crack on the last kick his son gave Harry laying there gasping for breath now that the attack had stopped, "Look at you boy like a dog that should have been drowned at birth just like that bitch that was your mother." Vernon spat out moving to head away when suddenly a large aura of energy seemed to come from Harry's still form.

"Don't talk about my mother that way."Harry gridded out the side of him that had always viewed things the way of a wolf or other canine did rise up a howl of a wolf echoing inside his head as he slowly rose to his feet, his eyes looking to be that of an animal about to attack, as they now looked up at Vernon.

Vernon didn't even blink as he punched Harry in the stomach sending the boy to the ground again, "How dare you talk back to me boy," Vernon snarled going for another punch when suddenly Harry jaw seemed to clinch as if he was in pain that wasn't caused by him.

Deciding to not pay this any mind Vernon went to hit Harry again only for his fist to pass right through the boy as if he was made up of nothing but smoke and shadows, Harry's head rising once again to look at his uncle as his face seemed to shift and change.

'They dare to insult my mother and father to my face, these animals deserve whatever fate deals them.' Harry thought to himself as he felt something deep down snap fully and his body start to change all over, the pain he had been feeling a moment ago vanishing as a whole new type of pain entered his body something pushing forward and start to fight him for control over his body.

'What is this other being here?' Harry thought to himself as he felt his body hunch over and his bones started to reshape themselves falling to all fours a moment later as the fur started to grow out all over his body the cloths on him ripping all over as the whole body changed form.

'They insulted our pack while they are unable to defend themselves in the Great Plains, where they now hunt, they must be punished.' Another voice or instinct seemed to say to him as a moment later where an under feed and recently beaten boy was laid out was now a largish wolf with messy black fur and emerald green eyes.

Vernon just looked in shock at the wolf before him but quickly shock his head and went for the small island table standing in the hallway bringing it around and slamming it down into Harry's back forcing him back down to the ground with a yelp of pain.

Before he could bring the little table down on Harry's back again Harry seemed to think on something before sinking into Vernon's shadow he was casting over him the table turning into splinters on impact with the floor and not his back.

"Petunia, the boys a freak just like his mother and father; he just vanished after turning into the mongrel he is." Vernon called out looking around wildly for any sign of the new Harry wolf.

Harry mean while was looking around wildly himself at the world of gray he was now in, he could see his Uncle standing in the hallway looking around for him but for some reason he couldn't see him standing right in front of him or hear him despite the fact that he could hear the man yell about him being a freak like his parents.

Petunia came into the hallway just then saying sharply to Vernon while Harry just stood there looking up at the pair Dudley still looking at him or more to the point the location he had been standing in shock, "He's got to be one of those Freaks like my sister, some can turn into an animal or something, then as far as I'm concerned then good riddance, now come along both of you and get your dinner."

Harry just watched on as the family left the room not even worried about what might have happened to him, giving a whimper he slowly got up and walked towards the door only to find that he could see beyond the door and into the street and also all of the other houses in the area as if the walls and such weren't in the way.

'Maybe this life would be better this way, a ghost to all save myself, and I'll just vanish into the night and be forgotten.' Harry thought to himself feeling the other half of him the animal side start to attach itself to his mind more firmly.

End Flashback

Albus and Amelia just looked at Shadow Fang who Albus now know to be the missing Harry Potter Amelia just nodding at the story that he had just finished telling them, Tonks had moved in this time to seat down next to the chair Harry's head resting on the arm of the chair near hers letting her rub just behind his ears to help settle him down after telling of the day he lost a part of his humanity.

Before anyone could say anything Tonks spoke suddenly just looking at her boss and former Headmaster, "Harry had only told me that story a few hours before he told you two, he has also stated that he will always be Shadow Fang in public for now and only Harry Potter between the three of us in private."

Amelia just nodded at this and said, without looking at Albus who had been about to open his mouth to argue with Harry's and Tonks decision, "I approve as you are in the Auror Academy after all Harry, although if you like you can join the Hogwarts Students once you are human again but for now you're still an Auror in training, understood Trainee."

Harry just nodded his head moving his jaw a little before saying. "Understood, Director Bones."

"But Harry I'm sure your parents would have wanted you to come to Hogwarts and join your fellow students, I can arrange for special classes for you to catch up with the others in your year and have Minerva double the number of lessens on changing you back so that you can join them all the sooner." Albus says looking at Amelia like she was crazy having someone who was only just thirteen join the Auror Academy without even a basic education in Magic under the belt first.

"They may have but I'm an Auror Trainee now and must follow the orders of my boss, besides I'm learning a lot in the Academy just fine with Tonks here to help." Harry growled out jumping down from his seat and laying himself across Tonks lap now to show where he was happy to stay and who with despite Albus' objection.

"Now Harry I know your parents very well and know that both your father and mother wanted you to come to Hogwarts when you turned eleven, surely you would want to honour their memory, also I'm sure Madam Bones' here would be willing to take you back into the Auror Academy when you finish your magical education."

"Albus, stop trying to talk him into doing something he might not want to do, Trainee Tonks is teaching him everything he would be learning here in Hogwarts on their off time and also knows when to have fun and take him along as well so he doesn't become a bookworm." Amelia said sharply to Albus who looked like he was about to say something back when she raised a hand to stop him.

"I also have a say in what happens to me as I have done some research into how I ended up with my Aunt and Uncle and the files stated that you were the one to take me after the death of my parents and that you said I was in a safe place, nothing else." Harry snapped out sharply sitting next to Tonks now one paw resting on her thigh while the other was on the floor Tonks rubbing the back of his head gently with one hand the other one just cupping his paw on her thigh.

Albus looked up at this and was about to say something when Tonks spoke up for the first time in a little while, "I also did some research into the Potters and found I couldn't access their files as the Chief Warlock had sealed the file and only his signature can unseal it."

"Albus I want those files unsealed by the end of the day and you are to leave Harry alone to decide where he wants to go next or what he plans on doing." Amelia says sharply to the Headmaster, who just nodded at this and quickly leaves the room as he had only sealed the files anyway to stop people from learning about Petunia and working out were Harry had been placed.

"Harry I want you to do a lot of research on Animagus transformations in witches as I have a feeling your mother might have played a small part in your current form and the way you view the world, Trainee Tonks you're to help him where ever possible and also you two… leave any romantic feelings until you are changed back Harry." Amelia finishes with a small smile looking at how Tonks was patting Harry's head and holding his other paw while Harry was just leaning into her side a little more than just friends would.

The way the pair suddenly looked away from each other was all the answer Amelia needed to her statement about their relationship getting to her feet she calmly left the room to go make sure Albus did unseal the file and also check up on the other Auror's stationed in Hogwarts.

Amelia over the next few days spent her time looking over the Potter's files a raised eyebrow being the biggest surprise over the file of one James Potter as it stated that James had payed a fine for being an unregistered Animagus out of Hogwarts the paperwork stating that he had successfully performed his first change in his fourth year, and that he just didn't want to register until Lily had talked him into it not long after finishing Hogwarts and marrying.

It was when she was reading Lily's file that she got a big surprise as it stated that Lily was a Timber Wolf Animagus and that she had successfully performed her first change a month into her pregnancy with Harry, her file also stated that a month later she vanished off the map for three months being found at the end of this time in her Animagus form half dead from injures in one of the Tube station in London. The file even stated that she had lost some of her mind to the Animal within and to her dying day had acted more wolf-like then human ever since she had vanished.

Turning the page of the report Amelia looked up when her fireplace flared up and Tonks came tumbling out, watching the young woman dust herself off Amelia sat back and asks calmly putting Lily's file down so that Tonks could see what she had been reading. "Any reason for this visits Trainee and shouldn't you be getting ready for your big Christmas present give away like you did last year?"

Tonks nods at this and says taking a seat looking Amelia right in the eyes, "I have all the presents payed for and even a few donated to me by some of the stores in my room in Hogwarts so that is taken care of but I have something you should know, in one of the older books on Animagus transformations me and Harry found in the Library it stated that no witch should transform for long periods of time while pregnant or it may affect the baby although it didn't say anything about what might happen."

"Then Harry's change is also due in part to something his mother did when she was pregnant with him as I had just read in her file that she spent upwards of three months in her Animagus form of a Timber Wolf and that she was dodging Death Eaters that whole time meaning she couldn't chance changing back without them spotting her, we only got luckily in the fact that some Auror's found her hiding in the Tubes and brought her in to recover. The healers said though that there was no long lasting damage to her baby… clearly they were wrong."

There was silence in the room for a few minutes after this as they both know that Lily and James had had a hard life ever sense they got out of Hogwarts both being on the run nearly all the time and only really settling down in Godric's Hollow after Harry was born.

Tonks could almost recall a time when she was young that Sirius had brought her to visit them and spending a good hour playing with baby Harry, the baby just so care free and without a worry in the world, she was brought out of her thoughts when Amelia says softly all of a sudden. "Trainee I want you to take a copy of these files to Harry and be with him while he reads about his parents' lives and what they went through to protect him from those dark days… take the rest of the year off and enjoy your holidays."

Amelia looked away before Tonks could say anything to the over two weeks' worth of holidays she had just been given, just listening as Tonks says the copying charm on the files before her before leaving Amelia leaning her head back against her chair the moment the young Auror had left whispering softly that she would do what she could in memory of his parents to help Harry any way she could.

Information

Although it was a sad day that Lily Potter left for the next great adventure within the Auror Academy as she had taken up teaching one of the classes on field healing not long after she gave birth to Harry, Lily's spirit is carried on by every one of her students and friends, all of them fighting to make sure that those who had hunted her and other innocents wouldn't be able to carry on their evil ways.

Lily was a proud mother and hard worker in her teaching days and was willing to help anyone in need regardless of the cost to herself, although she did seem to display a very canine view on the world after her three months running game of hide and seek with a large force of You-Know-Who's forces and had only survived that thanks to a random patrol of Auror's in the Tube stations of London happening to find her.

A rumor that had been going around a few weeks before her death was that Lily had been working on some kind of spell to help protect her son from all harm although these reports would never be verified because of her death and the destruction of Godric's Hollow along with all of her research notes.
