Chapter 11 – Little Wolf

NOTE: Hey Guys, its been while since my last upload, believe it or not I am actually ahead with this fan fic, I just keep forgetting to upload a chapter, not today though! Be prepared for fluff in upcoming chapters. P.S. I am following something my old primary school would do, I am not religious nor want to cause any cultural discrepancy its just a story :)

Two weeks had past after the homework incident and the three were getting closer and closer. Harry was still very quiet he didn't talk much about school, but he went and came home in a good mood. School for Harry was okay, it was much better than the school from back at the Dursleys, he wasn't the best in his class, but he wasn't the worst either. Harry used to be able to concentrate but the sounds and everything made it so hard, he was trying, he hoped they could see that.

It was the week starting the 30th of November and Harry was starting to feel in the mood for Christmas. December was about to start and in school his teacher, Mrs Owens brought them into the school assembly hall with the other 3 classes in the juniors and said "Alright boys and girls, like every year we are going to put on a play for your parents on the last week of school, today we are going to choose parts after I tell you the story"

"But Mrs!" Exclaimed a brown-haired boy at the back of the group "We always do the same thing!"

"Yes Robert, but this year because you have all grown up since you were in the infants, we are going to put a little twist on the tale, now listen closely"

All 40 children looked in the direction of Mrs Owens anticipating the tale that was about to be told. Not one of them spoke and they just listened.

"Once upon a time in a little stable a king was born, now he was a very special baby, he was sent from God to help every living being to coexist in harmony, the baby's name was Jesus. There was also another king of the land who was harsh, cruel and when he heard of the young baby, he sent warriors out to kill him before he could rule the land, the kings name was King Jerald. The shepherds who went to visit baby Jesus went past the castle when the warriors were released and were careful not to lead them straight to the baby. Once the word was out, the donkey and horse that was in the stable went out into the wild to find creatures that could help defend the baby. They first ran into a family of 6 foxes on their nightly hunt and convinced them to come along. Secondly, they found a pack of 3 wolves, who were immediately at their side. Many creatures joined them that night after the wolves, 3 snakes and 2 eagles. They all made their way back to the stable to re-join the 6 sheep. Once everyone was there, there was a knock on the door, it was the warriors ready to take the child, the animals jumped into action, scaring off the warriors, making the baby safe. Once Mary was ready the animals lead her back to he home and away from the danger of Jerald. The end."

Everyone clapped, Harry thought this sounded a lot of fun, at least it wasn't welsh or English or maths he thought. Mrs Owens then read out a list of names followed by a part. He waited nervously to see what he would be. It seemed like a long time before he heard his name. Maybe it was something to do with his surname being Potter. Soon enough his name was called.

"Harry Potter you will be a Wolf!" said Mrs Owens. What are the chances he thought, I am already a wolf, he giggled to himself? Once they had finished calling out the names, they started to learn the songs. Harry was rather shy to sing so he hummed along until he got the hang of things.

The afternoon went quickly and soon he was able to tell Remus and Sirius all about his wolf part. It was the most Harry had talked after school; the two marauders were pleased but also knew that they would have to tell him about the full moon on Saturday.

"Its as if they could tell I'm a werewolf!" Harry exclaimed as he walked through the front door, running upstairs to change into something more comfortable. When he came down Harry kept on going. "Aroooo!" howled Harry transforming and jumping onto Sirius.

"Now Harry you must understand that you cannot go and shout that about, muggles can't know about your condition, which reminds me that it is the full moon on Saturday. Its when you will turn into wolf Harry for the night" Harry transformed back to human and said

"Oh, okay that's cool"

"I don't think you understand Harry, I just want you to be prepared, the wolf inside you will take over and change you"

"Ok" Harry replied more worried. "It's easier to transform at the moment"

"I know, that's because its nearing the full moon, please try to keep human for this week only" Harry nodded telling them he understood.

It was the following day is when he found out what Remus meant, the wolves were asked to leave class to practice their bit of the play and with all the howling and the anxiety with being with people he didn't know. They were all in the class above and were much taller and stronger than he was.

Mrs Owens placed him at the front of the stage and had the older boys to dance around him with Harry trying to keep up. He was rubbish he thought, you can't do this, you are a freak, freaks don't have fun, freaks don't deserve to be part of the play. Now you are being stupid Harry, you are being selfish and not doing It right. Harry must have stopped dancing because the music had stopped, and he was struggling to breathe, then it happened, he couldn't control his transformation again, so he ran. No explanation no nothing, leaving everyone shocked.

Again, his hands and feet were turning into paws, his heart beating fast, the wolf taking over, he just about made it to the boy's toilet and into his stall when he made his full transformation. Growling to himself because he let it happen again, and he couldn't get back into human form until his head stopped shouting at him. Getting more and more frustrated he howled and couldn't help it. He tried to change back but it was unsuccessful. Now he knew what Moony meant, he started to get upset and angry. He knew he had to calm down but how. It wasn't long until he heard Mr Bevans voice outside the door again

"Harry, this is Mr Bevan are you okay?" … all Harry could manage was a little whimper. "Okay Harry, I know you are upset but you have got this, and you are not in trouble, we just want you to be okay" That reassured Harry and slowly but surely, he was in control of his head again and could transform back into a human. He then slowly opened the door. "Good lad Harry how are you doing?"

"Oo-kay" Harry managed to reply

"Did you get scared and upset?" Harry nodded he was now rather embarrassed about the whole situation.

"I'm sorry Sir, I didn't mean to get upset"

"No reason to be sorry, we are just a little worried" Harry thought that he couldn't let anyone be worried about him, it wasn't allowed. Last time someone was worried about him, his uncle hit him around the head with the remote control he was holding. The images of that incident flew across his mind and he didn't realise he was whimpering gain. "Its okay Harry, do you want 5 minutes to calm down?" Harry shook his head "Alright, I'll bring you back to Mrs Owens.

They walked back to the assembly hall, Mr Bevan talking to Mrs Owens before he left them. Mrs Owens then turned to Harry.

"Harry, it is okay not to get it first time around, no one expects you to be perfect"

"Yeah little wolf, you were doing better than any of us," said one of the other boys. Harry nodded his thanks, getting very embarrassed about the whole situation.

"Right let's practice one more time before we go back to class okay" this time Harry felt a little better it went rather well, and he enjoyed it.

"Hey little wolf, fancy a game of footie at play?" Harry nodded his thanks and went back to class and called the next group the foxes into the hall. He then took his seat next to Michael. Soon enough it was play time and as promised the older boy to let him and Michael play football with them. Harry hadn't played much before but soon found out that he was very quick and could see the ball coming from a while away like it was coming in slow motion, he was in goal.

"Brilliant Little wolf" said the boy named Tim, and so all the year threes and year fours were calling him little wolf by the end of play. The rest of the day went quickly and soon he was on Sirius' shoulders on his was home. Tim ran up beside him and said "Little wolf, same thing tomorrow? You were epic!"

When they were making their way back to the cottage Sirius asked

"What was that all about? Made new friends?" Harry nodded "Ah good, and I think Little wolf might stick here too"

"Sirius don't do the thing! We ae in public!" said Remus half heartedly

"MESSUS MOONY! LITTLE WOLF! AND PADFOOT! PROUDLY PRESENTS THE MARAUDERS!" Remus shook his head in disapproval, but Harry was smiling and laughing, glad that they didn't know what had happened today.
