Howl, Harry

Epilogue-5 Years Later

Draco opened silver eyes, looking around at the grounds of Hogwarts.

"It's changed hasn't it."

The King walked to sit beside him. Emerald eyes taking in the first years that had been sorted the night before, looking cautiously at the wolves that spread across the landscape.

"It has. It grew back beautifully."

Harry nuzzled his mate, drawing his attention.

"It had our help. And Kiba's."

Draco smirked.

"I take it they found her than."

Harry looked up, eyes catching a staring first year, who was approaching them nervously.

The air shimmered and the Boy-Who-Lived took a momentary human illusion, to help ease the child's fears.

"Can we help you, David?"

David flushed nervously. "Um…I need help."

Draco rolled his eyes and took on his own illusion, although he did not rise from the ground.

"What did you need?" Harry asked, shooting his mate a warning, yet amused glare.

"I-"

Draco's eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"Forgive me, my King." David whispered. Dropping his own illusion, the black and silver wolf cub that cowered before the two rulers.

Draco stood gracefully. "HOw old are you?"

"Only 7."

Harry smirked. "You were sorted into Slytherin."

David bowed his head, bashfully.

"You manipulated quite a bit to get here." Draco muttered.

"I'm sorry if I have displeased you, My King."

Harry ran a finger down the wolf's spine. "You have not displeased me, David. But why has it taken your parents seven years to send you to us?"

"My parents are dead. My mother was killed when I was two. The rumor around the village was that she knew the King of Wolves. My guardian died last year and the villagers kicked me out."

Claw marks appeared beneath Draco's feet.

"You are welcome here, David." Harry whispered. "Excused from all classes for this week. Draco and I will find you a nice couple to stay with for a while."

"You are too kind, My King."

David's muzzle touched the ground at Harry's side, reverent.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Of you go." he muttered, dropping his illusion to lounge in the sun once more.

Harry gently nudged the cub down the hill, towards a group of romping Abandons. The group readily excepted one of their own.

"You know. Dumbledore should have kicked us out for what we did to the castle." Draco said.

"What you did to the castle." Harry corrected. "And he had no reason to. You weren't yourself, Draconis. And don't dwell on the past. Hogwarts is our domain now. We finally have a home to come to."

Draco looked down at the multiple colors that dotted the green landscape. "Run with me, Harry."

Beside him, the silver wolf grinned. "Always, Dragon."

Draco stood and the two took off down the hill.

The Forbidden Forest was looking all too tempting now.

Cerberus-To clear this up. Everything before the Epilogue, takes place in the years before the life that Kiba and the others live in Wolf's Rain. The story is a bit off, seeing as how the wolves life for like 200 years or so before they're reborn, but the Epilogue is only 5 years after the rest of the story.

The point in time where Draco and Harry were talking about Kiba and that 'they'd found her' was the entire series of Wolf's Rain. Harry, being the King of Wolves, is not reborn with the rest of his kind, because he and his mate never die with the rest.

Any further confusion (as I'm sure there's some because its confusing me) David is Krista's son. Krista was willing to die to be with her mate again, even though it meant leaving her son. She knew that he'd be in good hands (paws).
