Chapter two:

I followed the two people and wolves through a dense forest. We had just gone through this weird portal thing and now we were here. They stopped and I looked around in curiosity just as I heard a group of footsteps matched by paw steps. People and wolves walked out of the forest. Wolves of all sizes and shapes stood side by side with their humans. They whispered just as an old man with an equally old wolf walked forward. The old man had hair the color of newly fallen snow and eyes the color of the sky. His wolf was as black as the night with pure white fur in places. The old man walked with the help of a large rowan staff. He wore a dark blue tunic with grey slacks. His eyes held both kindness and wisdom. Both he and the wolf at his side wore a necklace. The necklaces were a deep black with a sapphire stone shaped like a fang. They stopped right before us and the old man spoke, "You have finally returned Kara, Jack and have brought with you the child of Lily...I wish for a report, but for now I believe it is time for introductions...isn't that right my old friend?"

The wolf at his side rolled its eyes as it spoke in a male voice, "I swear Divin your an idiot sometimes...but I suppose we should greet the pup before he becomes to nervous."

I snicker and they turn to me. I bit my lip just as the old man pouted, "That's mean of you Gira! Why are you so mean to me?"

The wolf, Gira snorted, "Because you act like an idiotic pup sometimes...wait you act like that all the time!"

I couldn't help, but laugh at them. They both paused before the old man said, "I'm glad to amuse you young one. My name is Divin Magester. I am the oldest Protectors and this is my Guardian and partner Gira. We have been waiting for you."

"Me?" I ask in confusion, "Why me?"

Divin blinked before asking, "Didn't your mother ever tell you of us? Of the promise she made to us so long ago?"

I shook my head, "No sir. I don't even know who my mother is. I've been living with my relatives since I was a year old...though I do remember somethings from before I lived with them."

"What do you remember little one?" Gira asked.

"I remember a large wolf. He would always play with me and keep me safe," I answer as memories of that time flashed through my mind, "He was the one to keep me safe after...after...the green light. I don't know what happened to him sir...but he is one of the only things I can remember,"

Divin sighed as he nodded sadly, "So it is as Lily feared," He shook his head, "You'll be safe here. Your going to learn to become a Protector...learn what it means to be an Evans's blood."

"Evans?" I question the name as it rolled off my tongue, "I'm a Potter...so how can I be an Evans?"

"Your mothers blood, but perhaps it's time for you to begin to learn and heal," Divin said before turning to Kara and Jack, "We'll be talking later. For now, Take the boy to his new home...do be sure to show him around...remember that you have a year before he goes to the forest..."

Both nod and do a weird salute...their right hand becomes a fist which goes over their heart and their left crosses to the right with their palm face up, "Yes Senior Patronus."

I followed them past the gathered people and onto a well kept path. We started passing statues of wolves and people. Kara spoke, "This is the path of the Valde Lupus...It ends in two places. You will only be going to one of them today."

"What's the other one?" I ask as we reach a fork in the rode.

One path was well kept while the other was just a beaten path. The statues of people and wolves went down the well kept one. Statues of wolves that seemed older the farther you went...went down the beaten path. We took the well kept one as Kara said, "The beaten path is known as the Expertus of animus or the test of soul...you will not be going down that path until it's time for you to gain your guardian."

"When will that be?" I ask as the path started to widen.

"Next year," Jack answered before he grinned, "Welcome to the city of the Valde Lupus...Pectus pectoris of lupus or the heart of the wolf,"

I turned to stare at the city below. People of all shapes and sizes walked with wolves. Children ran through the streets as they played with pups under the watchful eyes of both wolf and human. The city was of brownish grey stone, but trees and other plants seemed to grow just fine. We walked through the area until we came upon a large building. We walked inside and passed area full of kids and teens training with and without wolves. We passed many people who wore armour among other things. We soon reached an area where not many were and passed door upon door until we reached a bright red door. Kara was about to open it when the one across the hall opened. A large man stepped out with an equally large wolf. He had grizzly brown hair and sharp black eyes. His wolf was huge about two times the size of a grey wolf. It's fur was a bright ashy grey and it's eyes were a dark blackish yellow. Both paused upon seeing us and the man, who looked kind of like a bear billowed, "Jack and Kara You've finally returned! Didja fine the pup?!"

Kara laughed while Bellator snorted, "Dutchess your partner is as loud as always."

"Bellator Beren is allowed to do as he wishes," The giant wolf retorted in a feminine voice, "After all he is still a pup at heart...It's one of the reasons why we're partners after all,"

"Don't listen to Bell Dutch," Kanna said with a grin on her face, "After all he is just a grumpy old wolf...how many winters old was it again?"

Bellator snorted and said, "I'm just two winters older than you brat. How have you been Dutchess? Did the hunt go well?"

"I've been fine," Dutchess answered, "We tracked down the idiots and punished them accordingly. You wouldn't believe what they were going to do to those pups," She shook her head, "I wouldn't have minded doing more than giving them to Senior Patronus...but alas it seems that I won't get my wish granted ...now is this the pup?"

I suddenly felt all eyes on me and stiffened. Dutchess seemed to notice and chuckled lightly before she approached me. I forced myself to stay where I was just as Bellator said, "Dutchess..."

She ignored him and nuzzled my chest with her large head, almost sending me to the ground. I stood still for a few moment before I hesitantly reached up and scratched behind her ear. She let out a soft growl before saying, "My names Dutchess pup. It's nice to finally meet Sun's little one."

I blink before asking, "You knew my mom's Guardian?"

She nodded with a chuckle, "Yeah. He always bragged to us when Lily came for a mission. He really loved you pup. I swear if he wasn't already Lily's guardian I swear he would have been yours."

I felt a smile appear on my face until I yawned. I heard Jack chuckle as he said, "Alright it's time for the pup to get some sleep. We'll see you later Beran."

The bear like man nodded as he and Dutchess left. Kara opened the door and revealed a large room with a couch, a fireplace, a few bookcases, and three doors. The room was done up in nice reds and greens and blues. I yawned again and Jack steered me toward the middle door while saying, "This will be your room Pup. We didn't do much to it because we wanted you to pick out the colors and stuff."

He opened the mahogany door and I walked in. The room had blank white walls with a large four poster bed. The bed had a thick black comforter and a pile of pillows. There was a desk and two bookshelves as well as a dresser. A second door sat between the two bookcases that I think leads to the bathroom. There was a large window on one side of the room that showed a great view of the forest outside. I yawned and got into bed before falling asleep.

Time Skip 1 year

I jump to the side as my opponent tried to hit me with his practice sword. I smirked and easily parried the next blow before I disarmed him. He fell onto his back as I held my sword to his neck. He panted just as a cheer came from the side. I said, "Looks like I win again Dome."

He rolled his eyes as I took my sword away and held out my hand, "It's not my fault you're better at almost everything..."

I rolled my eyes as I retorted, "You forget I always lose when it comes to using blunt force. You much better at using a hammer unless it comes to blacksmithing."

"Alright you two we don't need another pissing contest," A feminine voice came from the side.

I grin as I dropped his hand and walked over to the girl. She had black hair and greenish blue eyes. Her skin was almond colored. I smile at her and asked, "So Andy did you get your partner?"

She sighed and said, "Yes Harry I did. Your next aren't you?"

I nod before looking around, "Where's your partner?"

I heard a deep growl and jumped back as a large black wolf jumped out of the shadows. It had bright blue eyes that glared at me as it stood in front of Andromeda. I glare at it as Domeino smirked and said, "I think I like that wolf already...what's it's name?"

"His name is Blade," Andromeda said with a sigh, "Blade Harry is my friend so please don't do that,"

"But Andy," The wolf protested, "Your mine-"

"Wow Morningstar your into Beastality now?" A snide voice came from the side, "I knew your family lived with dogs, but still-"

"Shut up Valance!" I growl glaring at the blond boy.

Talon Valance was as rude as they come. He had bright blond hair and green eyes...he's also my cousin on my great grandmothers side. I glare at the idiot as he approached. His wolf was a dirty brown little shit that always nipped at other people and wolves. He was as wild as they came. Andromeda snorted and said, "I suggest you back away Valance before Blade decides to make you his new chew toy."

The wolf seemed to be pleased with that idea as he licked his lips. I snorted and said, "I wouldn't do that. He probably tastes like manure...come to think of it aren't you supposed to be on stable duty?"

Talon glared at me and was about to say something when a soothing voice came from the door, "Yes he is. Talon why are you in here when Master Corvis has asked you to clean up the stables?"

Talon paled as his mentor walked in. She was Clara Bain...She has sleek long black hair and catlike green eyes. Her wolf was a sleek looking grey wolf. Her eyes were a bright gold. Clara was a gentle woman, but in seconds she could turn into a pissed off she-wolf. She was the one instructing us on the magical aspect of our bonds with our partners. I smile at her as Talon stuttered out an excuse and ran off with his wolf following with his tail between his legs. She smiled at us as she approached and we all said, "Good morning Clara how are you?"

"I'm well," She answered, "Dana wished to meet your partner Andy,"

Dana walked over to Blade and I noticed how he was just a bit smaller than her. She sniffed him before walking back over to Clara. Clara smiled while she stroked the silent wolf's head. Dana had lost her ability to speak years ago due to an accident with some poachers. Clara was able to understand her due to the mental bond all protectors shared with their guardians. I smiled until the door opened again and Kara walked inside. Kara smiled before looking at me. I got the message and put away the practice sword before I grabbed my pack. I shivered slightly as we stepped into the snowy outside. We walked up the path silently until we reached the fork in the road where Jack was waiting. I looked down the path nervously before looking at my Mentors. Kara dropped to the snowy ground and gave me a hug, "You'll do fine pup. Just be yourself and your wolf will come to you."

Jack nodded as he gave me a warm smile, "If your wolf doesn't come by the end of the week you'll get another chance in a year. You know it sometimes takes time to find your partner. Even if you don't you'll still have a place here."

I gave him a soft smile as I nodded, "I'll do my best...I can't wait to meet my wolf."

"Go pup and be brave," Kanna said as she nuzzled me, "Remember that training will only get harder when you have your wolf,"

"I know and I'm ready," I say just as Bellator butted his head against my stomach.

I grin at the wolf as he said, "I'm not one for sappy things, but..." He nuzzled me before looking at me with pride, "You've grown pup. Listen to Kara and be yourself. You'll find your wolf...I know you will."

"Thanks Bell," I hug him around the neck, "You're right. I'll be back with my partner soon,"

I smile and turn to the path. I began to walk down the Expertus of animus. As I walked the trees began to grow closer together and the path began to go up. I took a deep breath and steadied myself as I walked. I soon made it to a large field where a wolf larger and older than any other sat. I knew it was the lord of the guardian wolves, Kristopher. I bow deeply as he spoke, "Harry Potter-Evans. Son of Lily Evans you have come for your destined partner have you not?"

"Yes," I stated as I stared him in the eyes, "I wish to take the path of past guardian's and go through the trial to find my partner. I beseech of you lord Kristopher to allow this,"

His eyes bore into mine like suns and it took everything I had to stop myself from glancing away. He let out a billowing laugh causing me to sigh in relief, "I will allow this," He moved and I saw a path behind him, "You have a week to find your partner. If you fail you may try again in one year, but remember this. You only have three tries...use them well young pup...use them well."

I bow again before I took off towards the path. I took a deep breath as I slowly made my way deeper into the forested mountain. My heart raced with excitement as I slowly trecked through the maze like forest. Soon I would have my partner, Soon I would have someone to watch my back when all others abandoned me and soon I would have someone who would be by my side as I made my way through life. I can't wait.

Well this is the next chapter...soon Harry will have his wolf...
