"So that tattoo under your eye is like some kind of phone to a goddess?" Harry questioned the Chinese wolf next to him. As the scholar of the pack, Wufei was given the task of educating the young wolf to their ways. In the past week, after Heero had announced that they would be moving within the month, he had been introduced to the way the pack lived and ran.

"In simpler terms, that is correct." He relaxed as the curious pup examined the tattoo under his eye of a Melanistic jaguar that was examining him right back.

Harry had been at first astonished at the way the pack was run. He learned his place in the pack as a pup. One who had to be carefully cared for and brought up to their ways, protected at all times, and most importantly, Loved. It was just something every pack did for their young. What had also surprised him was that in the hundreds of years in the world the pack had yet to take on a pup. He was their first new addition to the pack since it had been formed.

"You should have one yourself, but as Quatre diagnosed it seems yours is under a dark curse. We'll soon be working on that once we are settled at our next den." Their Alpha had decided that the woods in France were prefect this time of year. The thought of France made Harry ponder over the thought of bumping into Fleur from the Triwizard Tournament.

"Most pack's recently are made up of family with the Wolf Demon gene passed down. Those tend to have guardians of the same species. Like ours, we are a large cat pack." Harry had spotted the great cats under the other's eyes. Each was fierce and powerful like their Demons.

"Does that mean I'll have a large cat too?" Wufei shook his head causing the staring contest between the tattoo and Harry to break.

"No, since you were born out of our pack your guardian could be anything." He nodded as the older wolf continued on. "There are cases of family Wolf Demon's whose child be born with a different species guardian. Those have been known to become mate to another Wolf from a different pack with a matching species. Though, it is rare."

He watched as Wufei pulled a scroll from a pile Duo had brought out in the morning for them.

"Look here." The scroll was huge, spread over four feet long and two feet wide.

"This is a family tree we gathered from other packs around the world." There had to be hundreds of names, many started from small groups and spread out to go on forever. Then there were rare dots of names not connected to any pack here and there. Harry pointed them out.

"Why aren't these part of a pack?" The Chinese wolf smiled at him. "They are like you. Born into this world and blessed while in the womb." The pup looking curiously at the other names; then he saw a name quite familiar.

"Malfoy!" Sure enough there was a large tree of a pack of the family name 'Malfoy'. Wufei looked at the name and the long chain, they had met that pack a century ago in England's market. It had been weird to encounter another pack in a place full of regular humans. They had learned that the other pack had been losing its fertility and slowly starting to age at a faster pace; much like regular wizards. Examining the self-updating scroll he saw that their fertility had dropped much since their last encounter with the pack. They had only one direct heir from the first Malfoy's they had met. That pup's name was Draco.

"You know them somehow? It's rare for any type of Demon to interact with the human population. Besides the Dementors of course." His pup nodded pointing to the last name along the tree.

"We go to Hogwarts together. I can't say we get along that great." He must have been holding back since his glare said a lot more then what he said.

"It's strange…" Wufei started, Harry looked up at him in interest. "His Guardian is different from his parents…" Under the name Lucious Malfoy and Narcissia Black-Malfoy was Draco Malfoy's but unlike his parents whom both had ferret Guardians, his was different. The area of where his Guardians species would be was fuzzed out.

From the look Harry was making Wufei could tell what he was thinking. "It indicates that he has a species different from his parents, but unknown to us. We have not encountered that family in ages, which could explain the lack of knowledge we have on them."

"You know another wolf your age?" Duo came over to they're mats and plopped down next to his mate. Looking at his pup with question. "One with an unknown species as well?" He asked again after looking at the scroll.

"He is a classmate of mine at Hogwarts, a nasty Slythrin. He always seems to live to make my life miserable." The young wizard spit out, it was the first spark they had seen out of him. His two parent's exchanged looks.

"Quatre?" The blond came from his packing to the Alpha mate's side.

"Watch him for a bit we needa have a chat with Hee-chan." The beta nodded and beckoned Harry to him. The pup went with him in confusion watching as the two picked up the scroll and dashed into the woods.

"Let's see how your healing shall we?" The kind wolf led him into the den and sat him down on some soft pelts. Quatre sat in front of him and closed his eyes, a glow settled over them. A few seconds later he opened them and muttered out names of plants; some of which Harry knew.

"It's going well, but your growth seems to be stunted from your past treatment. We'll need to get more food and nutrition into you. I know just the mix." The wizard sat silently as he watched the blond seem to blur before his eyes. His hands moving quickly and efficiently; gathering and mixing different herbs or roots. In no time he was done and brought the concoction to him.

"I added honey to lessen the taste of the herbs, I hope it helps." Quatre said with a smile. Harry accepted the bowl given to him; carefully he brought it to his lips. His eye twitched as the smell hit his nose.

'They would never poison me. I trust them.' He told himself, trust was something he had trouble with since he was younger. But something inside compelled him to trust these wolves.

Surprisingly to him it hadn't taste as bad as it had smelt. The taste of honey covered most of the bad flavor from herbs. Much better then potions from the healer's wing at Hogwarts.

The blond took the bowl back and set it aside.

"You'll have to take that at least a dozen more times until we see improvement." Quatre's words were firm and kind, so the wizard succumbed to the weeks of drinking the odd mixture.

"Now let's see how your wounds are healing." He leant over Harry as he spoke a hand outstretched. Quatre frowned as he saw the young pup flinch away before letting him examine his back. The welts and bruises were healing fast with the help from Quatre and Harry's own magic. The mere sight of them still raised a deep anger in the blond but he quickly dismissed it.

"Very good. It should clear up within the week. Make sure not to bump into anything though." As the words left his mouth a shout came from outside. Quatre jumped to his feet at once and dashed for the entrance. Harry quickly got himself together and followed slowly behind the older one.

" Quatre! We need a concealment shield! Now!" Heero and his mates came flying into the camp. Trowa who had been out gathering wood dashed in from another side hearing his Alpha's voice.

The beta wolf nodded at once and went to the middle of their camp raising his hands above his head. What came next shocked the wizard in Harry. A blue sphere formed in his hands and quickly expanded down his arms, over his body, then the entire camp. His Alpha moved to his pup and hugged him from behind ignoring the flinch his pup made at their contact. Wufei and Duo stood in front of the two grim expressions on their faces.

"What's going on?" Harry's confused voice broke the tense silence. Heero merely held him tighter and shushed him.

Then he heard the sound of shouts. It took him a second to realize it was his name they were calling out. A slight pain jabbed through him knowing people were worried about him. But he remained still in his Alpha's arms.

The shouts got closer and figures of robed bodies closed in towards the blue shield. Harry could hardly hold his shock as he watched three wizards walk straight through their camp. Not even taking notice of the six watching them, five with glares in their eyes.

It was almost an hour before the shouts died out and Quatre let his arms fall with a sigh. His mate took him up in his arms whispering into his ear.

"They should be gone." Heero gave his pup a reassuring hug before releasing him. Wufei still glared at the way the wizards had gone muttering words of another language under his breath.

"Good riddance, why they keep searching the same place over again is dumb." Duo put in, his arms crossed and tail wagging in irritation. Harry let his head fall feeling guilty.

"Are you alright pup?" Wufei let his anger drop and put an arm around his pup in concern.

"I'm alright. Sorry to be such a bother." Duo sneered in the direction of the wizards.

"Your not the bother pup, it's them that are the bothers." Wufei glared at his mate for such bad grammar(a/n: my own fault, sorry Duo). Duo ignored the glare and turned smiling brightly at Harry, anger forgotten.

"But we have better news!" A grin also formed on the Chinese wolf. It made Harry a little nervous. Duo bounded over and threw an arm over Wufei's on his pup's shoulders.

"Ya know your Draco friend?" Harry made an affirmative grunt a slight scowl on his face from thinking about him. Duo went on.

"Weeell me and the mates did some brainstorming." Duo's smile turned into a Cheshire's grin. "Your gonna take him as your mate!"

Harry stared at him then to Wufei, who smiled. Then to his Alpha who nodded and also grinned at his pup. He felt his eye twitch.

"WHAT?"
