It had been a month since she'd seen Evee, this was Hermione's chance...the hearing had to set it right! Blaise never wanted anything to do with Evee, why now?
The Night
"Aurelia Zabini, a pleasure" Arceo Avery greeted, taking her hand, and kissing it.
Arceo had grey eyes, which appear black...dark black short hair, and pale skin. His two sons, Argo & Demetri are twins, each were slightly different.
Aurelia had dark brown eyes, dark black wavy hair, and dark skin. She stood beside Blaise, her elder brother, and looked over the prophecy; which Sybil Trelawney had written down for her.
"Everything is prepared for the dark lord's arrival" questioned Arceo, to his son Argo.
"None is out of place, father" answered Argo.
Argo's hair is shoulder length, jet black...his eyes appear black, while he is also pale. The family is of Death Eaters, and are also one of the few known werewolf leader packs.
"Will we be sending for the Malfoys" Demetri questioned.
Demetri's dark black hair rested only slightly above his ears, and was mainly slicked back...his eyes also appeared black, and he as well is pale.
"Perhaps...but only Draco, Lucius will get in the way" stated Arceo.
Argo's eyes turned to to look at Fenrir Greyback and Scabior, he was the second head of the pack. His father didn't set out on many missions, Demetri chose to be more civil about everything. Demetri normally healed to assist in helping the change going easily.
"You have your orders, do you not" questioned Arceo to Argo, and Argo smirked.
"What of I" questioned Aurelia to Arceo.
Arceo's eyes turned sharply to Aurelia.
"You...to the Potters by apparition, I'm sure young Draco will be there" stated Arceo.
"I believe you have a hearing, Blaise" stated Demetri, after taking the prophecy from Aurelia.
Blaise smriked, and he rose his wand...the sky filled with the dark mark, having an eery green glow to it. Which then Blaise and Aurelia both apparated seperately, in large clouds of black smoke.
Argo transfigured into a large black wolf, and made a loud growl towards Scabior and his snatchers. Scabior transfigured into a wolf as well, his a reddish brown, and the others transfigured as well. The snatchers followed behind Argo, them moving quickly through the darkness.
"Come my son, we are to wait for his arrival" Arceo spoke, touching Demetri's shoulder.
Demetri transfigured into a white wolf, following his father, who'd transfigured into a grey wolf. They then too ran off quickly. Nearby muggles were terrified, by seeing the two large wolves running through their town.
Hermione could have shrunk into a tiny ball, and cried. She'd received word that she'd be keeping Evee, but she couldn't believe it! Just like that, everything had gone according to plan...but she wouldn't see Evee until her two week evaluation was over.
"Care for a victory drink" questioned Lucius, from the kitchen.
"We are not going to sleep together Mr. Malfoy" stated Hermione.
"I only asked if you'd wanted a drink, but...if you do insist-" Hermione swatted Lucius playfully on the shoulder, and he chuckled toward her.
Hermione began to walk down the hall towards her bedroom, and Lucius was very tempted to follow.
"By the end of the night, you will be begging me for sex...being the merciful man I am, I will have no choice; but to give in!" Lucius addressed.
"Perhaps in your dreams Mister Malfoy" Hermione responded.
"Mmmm, do say Mister Malfoy again" Lucius stated, and saw Hermione roll her eyes.
Lucius did enjoy a challenge, and at the moment...Hermione was rising to the occasion as well.
Draco walked outside of the burrow, he could have sworn he'd heard something. He glanced around, there was absolutly..
"FUCK" shouted Draco, as a large wolf had tackled him.
It was much larger than an average wolf, this was a werewolf, but of a different kind. One of the Avery's pack, no doubt. Draco kept a hold of it's mouth, until he saw someone coming from the burrow.
"STUPEFY" shouted Harry, but the red colored wolf, was too quick...the spell flew off somewhere inside of the wheat fields.
Draco hurriedly got to his feet, and took out his wand. Saliva from the wolf's mouth had fallen onto his shoulder.
"How many of them do you think there are" asked Harry, signaling Ron to come from the house.
"At least twenty, every pack travels with at least twenty...none fall behind" Draco stated.
Just then Draco saw something flash out of the wheat field, and begin to circle him and Harry quickly. Along with a few others, Draco took a step forward, and he was lunged at by a large black wolf. It missed biting his arm, and accidentally flung off his shoe. Draco was thrown back to the ground, but he go back up once again.
'Argo Avery' Draco told himself...he should have been dead.
The Ministry had gone hunting for the wolf pack, hadn't they?
"MALFOY LOOK OUT" shouted Ron.
Draco vision stopped shifting, and he bolted out of the way. As a bluish wolf with grey fur peaking out on it's back, charged him...
"Greyback" Draco said.
Another went to attack him, but missed. He noticed the red fur, and the eyes directed him to the owner...Scabior.
"Potter" Draco stated, getting in the way of Argo attacking Harry.
Argo bit Draco's arm, and Draco keeled over in pain. The black wolf backed off for a moment, seeming to check if Draco were still alive. Draco could hear his heart thumping in his ears, the wolf venom was coursing through his veins.
"Don't touch him" shouted Bill from the door.
Ginny went to help Draco, but was stopped by a growling Fenrir Greyback.
"Away from her" shouted Ron, going toward Ginny.
Harry was moving away from Argo's large wolf form, and then he looked back to Draco.
"Greyback-" barked Argo.
Fenrir's eyes shifted to Argo.
"Your hunger gets taken care of later! WE TAKE THE PACKAGE" Argo growled.
Fenrir growled towards Ginny and Ron.
"THE PACKAGE FENRIR" growled Scabior.
Fenrir turned, before Bill could come to attack him with a flaming branch. Greyback held the front Draco's shirt in between his teeth, and flung him onto his back. Which then the wolves took off as a pack, Harry saw the fields move, realizing it had been more than just the three wolves. It sound as though the wolves were galloping, like wild horses.
"Ah, ah, ah...oh" Hermione moaned, as Lucius finished his thrusting.
Lucius kissed her neck, and pulled out of her.
"Oh, Lucius" Hermione said, lying against his bare chest.
She had needed that, truly...there was nothing that could ruin this moment.
"HERMIONE" came Ginny's voice from the hall.
"Damn" Hermione stated.
Lucius gave a slight chuckle, she got out of the bed, and grabbed her white robe. He was observing her as she slid her arms inside of it, and then tied it.
"I'll return shortly" Hermione huffed.
She did hope she wasn't walking strangely, Lucius had just had his way with her. When he'd slept with her in his office, she couldn't remember a day she'd been more sore.
"What is so important? I have company" Hermione stated.
"Draco was attacked" said Ginny.
Hermione covered her mouth, not having expected that. She heard a shuffling from the bedroom, and Lucius came out fully clothed.
"What is it you've said about Draco" questioned Lucius.
Ginny couldn't respond, but she just looked between Hermione and Lucius.
"Well...Draco's been attacked, by wolves" Ginny said.
"Werewolves? Bearlike wolves? Massive, strange coloring...led by a black wolf" questioned Lucius.
"Yes, but I wasn't sure of the leader, how did you know" Ginny questioned.
"I've dealt with these wolves before, I happen to know whom the pack leader is...but why he's gone after Draco is beyond me" Lucius stated.
Wolves? This all was news to Hermione...was her daughter safe? Why had these wolves even come for Draco? What has happened to the sanity in the Wizarding World. Nothing had gone wrong, since the Battle Of Hogwarts...maybe the occasional muggle disappearance, but the captors were always apprehended.
"I'm calling Kingsley" Hermione said, rushing towards the phone before Lucius could stop her.
She dialed the numbers she needed to get quick access to Kingsley's office phone.
"Hello" sighed Kingsley, apparently tired...being the Minister of Magic tends to do that...
"Draco...wolves" was all Hermione could say.
"You'll have to be much more detailed Hermione" stated Kingsley's voice.
"Good god, woman! Give me the phone" said Lucius, taking the phone from Hermione.
"As I'm sure the Ministry is keeping this well under wraps, as I seemed to catch a glance at a slipped article of how the A-V-E-R-Y pack seems to be at large once more. Though I would hate to pry, it seems as though they've found a interest in my son" Lucius stated, rather bluntly.
Avery? Hermione had never heard that name before, Ron's brother, Bill talked about a man named Avery once...Argo, she believed it to be...
"Who was it that made it so easy for this Greyback character to go after you" questioned Percy.
Bill gave Percy a narrow eyed look, not appreciating his brother's tone.
"Well Perce, if you must know! It was Argo Avery, you know, escaped convict from Azkaban Prison! Someone your precious Minister can't seem to find the time to capture" retorted Bill.
"What did he look like" asked Harry.
"Never saw his face, just saw a giant blue cold wolf with a grey back coming at me, larger than any bear! It came at me, and a large black wolf growled towards it, then next thing I know I've got a scratch on my face...leaving a scar, I could understand them after that-" "What were they saying" asked Ron, now clearly interested in what Bill was saying.
"The black wolf was angry at him, telling him 'don't kill him! Don't kill em Greyback' ...Greyback got angry, and started arguing. Heard him say 'Avery', I knew it wasn't Demetri...Demetri isn't as noble to the cause as his brother, shame he's in alliance with the Death Eaters. He'd be better suited with the Order" Bill said.
Hermione snapped back into reality, after Lucius had slammed down her telephone.
"I'm assuming they aren't doing anything" questioned Hermione.
"'Wait for the Ministry' the bloody Ministry doesn't want this getting out...they would never risk finding Avery's pack, for damned good reason too! He knows what Avery will do, send the Auras back in pieces...disgusting bunch, they are. Always changing others, glad none of them have engraved! A woman who's stuck with one of them, is better off dead" stated Lucius, leaving with the slam of the front door.
"Please Ginny, do make yourself at home" said Hermione, and Ginny went into the kitchen.
Hermione hurriedly went to her bookshelf, she knew she had a book on werewolves! She'd kept it for so long!
Draco jerked against his confines, his arm burned with pain. It was as though his skin was sizzling, set aflame, and then he was left to rot.
"Quit your struggling boy" hissed Arceo.
He stopped momentarily, taking heavy breaths. Draco couldn't help, but struggle...the pain was too great.
"Demetri" called Arceo, and Demetri entered the room.
"Yes, Father" addressed Demetri.
"Young Draco is going through a difficult change...too much struggle, I'd rather him survive. I have plans for him! If he dies, you will suffer the consequences" Arceo ordered, then leaving the room.
Draco vision was too blurred with the pain to be aware of what Demetri was doing, all he heard was a door lock.
"I'm surprised father didn't assure you engraved first...he'd realize the pain was too strong for you, but you can survive Draco. You are much stronger willed, than your own father-" said Demetri then injecting a pain reducer into his knee cap, cause Draco nearly to bellow out in pain.
"Arceo won't be pleased when you don't follow his orders, he'll probably have you run with the pack for awhile...before he gives you a real task" stated Demetri.
Draco looked to Demetri, he could feel the wolf venom trailing through his veins, pumping throughout him.
"Once the venom reaches your brain, it won't matter how unwilling you are Draco-" said Demetri stopping at the open bedroom door.
"The venom is stronger than any Imperious Curse bestowed upon you, you will obey...even when you do not wish it" stated Demetri, then exiting out of the bedroom.
