SPOTTED:
1991
"Hey! Wait up! Don't leave me behind." Harry heard a voice call from somewhere behind him. He can guess the owner of the voice anywhere. It was his best friend Ethan.
They became friends three years ago and have not left each other's company since then.
It was difficult in the beginning. It always is with a new fledgling. They are always scared in the beginning. They often turn angry after a while. Angry and vengeful. This is where Uncle Moony tries to help them most. He says that the purpose of this pack is to stay together like a family and try to live a life as normal as possible. Uncle says that vengeance is not something the pack was formed for and therefore he tries to subdue as many new victims as he can. Some do go astray and leave the pack but most of them follow what Uncle Moony says.
The ones who leave cant betray the pack's secrets because they make an unbreakable vow before meeting with the other members. Also, the house is under fidelius charm with Uncle Moony as their secret keeper. He had explained Harry about the safety precautions few years ago when yet another member and left the pack after having a huge fight between himself and Uncle Moony, and Harry was worried about the safety of the others.
Uncle had also explained that they have a couple of other safe houses. Two of the eldest pack members; Stewart, 23 and Otto, 21; who inherited their house offered them to become safe houses. Only Moony and one other oldest member; Amanda, 20; know where they are.
"It will be your fault if you are left behind. Who told you to get into a fight with Brevis?" Harry turned around and glared at his best friend.
"Hurry up you kids. We need to finish our errands before Diagon Alley starts getting crowded," Uncle Moony spoke from a few feet away, checking his pocket watch.
Harry, Ethan, Uncle Moony and another girl named Gina who joined the pack last year were going to Diagon Alley. Harry was extremely excited. Not because he was going to Diagon Alley, because he has been there a few times now. His hair covers his scar on his forehead so people do not recognize him as Harry Potter. If he has to introduce himself, he usually does it as Harry Evans. No, the reason he was excited was that he was about to get a wand. His first wand.
Gina had turned eleven, three months ago; Harry's eleventh birthday was tomorrow and Ethan would turn eleven next month. Although the kids in the pack do not go to Hogwarts, Uncle Moony home-schools them. All the kids between the ages 9 and 11 learn theory aspects of magic including history of magic and muggle studies.
When they turn 11, they receive their wands and start with the practical training. Uncle Moony teaches them Defence against Dark Arts and Transfiguration. Stewart, who works for a potions master in exchange of wolfsbane, teaches Potions. The house has a small potions lab. Otto works in a greenhouse and hence teaches Herbology. Amanda has always had a knack for Charms; hence, she is the one teaching that particular class. Since none of them have any advance knowledge in any subject, except for Uncle Moony, who is the only one who has studied at Hogwarts, these classes end around the time the kids turn 15.
All members who have come to age work in the Wizarding world, since none of them are aware of the fact that they are werewolves. However, because they do not have their N.E.W.T.s, they usually work as assistants in shops and gain experience. Kids between the age of 15 and 17 generally work part-time in muggle shops and take advance defence classes from Uncle Moony.
At his comment, a chorus of "Yes Remus" and "Yes Uncle Moony" were uttered.
All four reached the fireplace and one by one, they started flooing themselves to Diagon Alley. The place was exactly as it was when Harry had visited last time. There were not many people on the street yet, but Harry knew this would change in a couple of hours. They need to be out of here before that happens. Harry might be able to go in public without recognition, but it is not safe to be in a crowded area for too long.
"We have to go to Gringotts first. Let's get some money from the family vault. Even Harry needs to get some money out of his vault. I'll do the annual transfer today itself instead of tomorrow. Then we can go and buy your wands," said Uncle Moony.
They reached Gringotts and Uncle Moony asked for a goblin called Griphook.
"What can I do for you sir?" asked Griphook when he reached the waiting crowd.
Uncle Moony removed two keys and replied, "Harry here would like to go to vault 687 and I would like to visit the vault 1410."
Griphook took the keys and examined them. "That seems to be in order. You can follow Zeelex and I will take Mr. Harry to his vault," he said, motioning the said goblin to come forward.
There was an account for the pack members, which Uncle Moony referred to as 'family vault'. Along with the money made by the older members, some parents still send money, books or cloths to Uncle Moony in order to help him raise their children. All the resources are distributed among the pack members according to their needs. They do not live in luxury, but they do not live in poverty either.
Harry, on the other hand, had his own Potters' vault where his parents had left him lots of gold.
"Very well. Ethan you can accompany Harry and Gina you can come with me. Meet me back here. Don't go anywhere else." With that, Uncle Moony started following Zeelex.
Harry and Ethan were back before the other two. Ethan had been amazed by the mounds of gold, columns of silver and heaps of bronze in Harry's vault. Harry would gladly share all his gold with the family but Uncle Remus would not agree.
However, when a few years ago, Harry had insisted that he contribute to the family vault, Uncle Mooney started taking minimum amount of contribution from Potters' vault and transfer it to the family vault every year on his birthday.
While they were waiting, a tall, thin man with silver hair and beard so long that they could be tucked into his belt, entered Gringotts. He had a very long and crooked nose that looked as if it had been broken before. Harry knew who this man was. He had seen him in his history textbooks and chocolate frog cards. He also knew that Uncle Moony did not trust him.
Dumbledore walked up to the main desk and said, "I would like to visit vault 713 please."
"Someone will be right with you sir," replied the goblin.
Just when Harry was about to whisper to Ethan, suggesting that they go and wait outside, Dumbledore turned around and his gaze fell directly upon Harry.
The brilliant blue eyes twinkled with recognition and Harry knew he was in deep trouble.
