Chapter 2
When Harry woke up he didn't open his eyes. He heard the headmaster, talking to Poppy. He could barley make out what they where saying but still got the message.
"Albus, what are we to do? Do you really thing the Wizarding World will stand by him, once they find out that their 'Chosen One' is a werewolf?" Poppy whispered harshly.
" Who says that they need to find out?" Dumbledore stated. At that point Harry had heard enough and sat up wincing as the sunlight hit his eyes. He looked to the direction of the voices. Dumbledore smiled warmly at the youth, before speaking.
"Harry my dear boy, how do you feel?" he asked. "How would you feel if you had bitten by a werewolf?" he stated rather calmly. This practically dumbfounded the headmaster, "Harry it will all be ok" The headmaster stated trying to calm the golden boy "Bull shit" the Gryffindor shouted. "Enough!" yelled the nurse "now Potter can you tell us what the werewolf that bit you looked like?" Before Harry could answer a cold voice spoke in the shadows.
"Potter I guess was to arrogant then to notice that he was being approached let alone recognize his attacker" Snape walked out of the corner, and sneered at Potter. Harry rolled his eyes "Greyback" was all he said, Dumbledore looked grave "are you sure my boy are you absolutely sure it was Greyback?" Harry nodded.
"W-why would he go after Harry?" asked Madam Pomfrey. "Mating" was all Harry had to say, "what do you mean Harry" asked the headmaster. "Having a werewolf for a friend helps you with the subject, every year werewolves have to find a mate, if theirs is dead or they don't have one." He said.
"Apparently the wolf thought me a prefect submissive, he'll come for me, he won't stop till he has me, unless of coarse claimed by another." He finished. Dumbledore nodded the headmaster stood and left. Harry slumped against the headboard of the bed as the nurse did more test, Snape stayed taking a list of potions that need to be restocked. Toward the end of the end of the day Harry had two pain and one potent sleeping potion.
They entire time Harry slept he dreamed of nothing but red eyes that held him. Harry felt warmth and security, for once in his life
Harry felt loved.
Dumbledore walked to his office after talking to Potter. He had to find someone to be his mate before Greyback. Thankfully he had his own werewolf on hand; Lupin would be the right person for the job. He Flooed him at the head quarters. "Yes Albus?" asked Remus, "something has happened I need you her as soon as possible" said the old man. Nodding Remus left to gather things. Less then twenty things had passed when the Lupin arrived. "What's the matter?" he asked.
"Its Harry my dear boy" the head master walked to his fireplace and fire called Pomfry in the hospital wing, telling her that he was on his way with Remus. "Come, lets go see Harry" he said and led the way.
When they got their Lupin rushed to the boy's side, "what happened?" he asked as he took Harry's hand. " Greyback" came Harry's voice. "Harry" exclaimed Remus. "How did this happen" he asked the boy" Harry's only answer was dumb luck. Harry fell asleep once more. "Remus I need you to mate with Harry" said the headmaster. "What! I cant he's to young and he's like family I cant" said the werewolf. " You must because if you don't Greyback will.
That's why Harry was turned." Replied the headmaster.
Remus nodded and left the room, along with the older man. Unknown by them that the raven-haired werewolf heard them. Harry stood up and walked to the closet to get his cloths, Harry knew the laws of the wolf and he was already clamed, not in body but in soul.
He had to get to the Alfa, his mate. In the closet he found his trunk, he opened it and got out his invisibility cloak, along with a few other things and closed it. Harry rapped the cloak around himself and left the hospital wing, and then the school all together.
Once Harry had made to the Forbidden forest it was getting dark, he stood there getting his barring straight, trying to think of the best way to get to Greyback.
From the left Harry heard something in the bushes; he crouched down and put his wand In front of him. "Potter?" called a voice, Harry recognized as Snape's, the older man emerged from the bushes and walked towered the boy.
Harry crouched lower trying to get away from the potion master. "Do you want to go to Greyback?" asked Snape, Harry nodded and slowly crept out of his hiding place. "Come on Potter" Snape picked the smaller one up and headed off in the direction of the castle. Once Harry saw this he started straggling and crying. Have never seen the boy cry, this of course shocked Snape.
"Po-Harry I am truly sorry about lying. I will get word to Greyback that you're here, I cant take you, Albus will know it was me… I will get you to your mate little one I promises." Harry nodded and layed his head on the professor's shoulder, "sleep I'll protect you little one, I'll protect you till Greyback is here, and even then I'll protect you."
With that Harry fell asleep again rapped in the red eyes that before haunted his dreams with warmth and love.
