"You're an absolute idiot! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't turn you into a little dog-shaped rug!" Both Sirius and Remus went down in a flying tackle. Sirius was caught by surprise and was therefore the receiver of being strangled and Remus was the one doing the strangling. Unfortunately, this was not unusual so Sirius wasn't too surprised.

At Remus' sudden movement, Fenrir stood in surprise and instinctually put himself between Remus and Harry. The fire from the previous night had gone out and the three were eating any of the leftover rabbit from the day before. Aspen was on the other side of the fire and thus was too slow to stop Remus from strangling Sirius. She then froze from uncertainty.

"Remy! It is so good to see you." Sirius didn't seem bothered that Remus was trying to strangle him and lay limp in his grasp.

Remus sighed and shook Sirius a bit, seeing that he was just lying limp, he let go. Sirius fell to the ground with a slight oof. "Don't act all casual like you didn't just disappear for days and didn't tell me anything. If it wasn't for Harry and his friends would I have gotten any update?"

Sirius was suspiciously silent and looking away like a scolded child.

"Of course not." Remus paused in his scolding and looked around. He flushed bright red when he realized that the other three were staring at Sirius and him. "Oh...hey, Harry. How's it going?"

Harry started laughing, "I told you Siri that he wasn't going to be happy that you ignored him!"

Remus shook himself and took a deep breath in and froze. Remus smelled Fenrir. He started to let out a canine-like whine and stared wide-eyed at Fenrir. He shook himself and then let out a growl. Watching this happen, Fenrir just stared.

Harry realized what was happening and then moved in front of Fenrir. "Wait, Remus! You don't know what's happened."

Remus' growl cut off at the sight of Harry and he let out a sigh. "Harry, do you know who that is? He's the most notorious werewolf in the entire wizarding world."

This time it was Fenrir's turn to growl, "And you believe that? You know what it is like to be a werewolf surrounded by wizards and you still believe that!?"

Harry let out a whine and Fenrir stopped growling. Remus took a step towards Harry, "Oh, Harry. Pup, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset."

Fenrir growled at Remus' step and Harry snapped out of his fear. He flicked Fenrir's nose and glared at Remus.
"NO! No more growling or yelling from either of you!"

Fenrir let out a whine and Remus seemed embarrassed about his own actions.

"Now you are both going to sit down and we are going to take turns talking."

Fenrir instantly sat down on the nearest log while Remus hesitated.
"But pup!"

"No, Remus! You both had your chance to talk it out like reasonable adults and neither of you took it. So now we are doing it my way since you are apparently overgrown toddlers."

Remus then took a seat on a log opposite Fenrir. Sirius let out a breath in relief and Aspen was staring at Harry like he was an alien.

"Wow, pup. You sure put them in their places." Harry glared at Sirius and Sirius shut up.

"Great. Now that we have all calmed down, I will start. Remus, I know that you are going to have a hard time listening and believing Fenrir but I want you to give this a chance for my sake. Fenrir, you will be courteous and patient with Remus because he is only saying things that he believes because of a lifetime of living with wizards. Sirius you will shut up and not speak unless spoken to. Thank you Aspen for being the only reasonable adult here." Fenrir and Sirius glared a bit at Aspen for having the audacity for being the only one praised.

"Now let's begin. Remus I was bitten on the last full moon and was turned into a werewolf. I was with Dumbledore getting something for a chance to destroy Voldemort. That night there was an attack by Death Eaters and Fenrir and I even ended up fighting Bellatrix Lestrange... Snape killed Dumbledore..." Harry felt choked up at the memory of his death. There was a pressure in his chest and all Harry could think about was the spell heading to Dumbledore and Harry's inability to do anything even scream out a warning. He took a deep breath and tried to continue his explanation, "... and I woke up the next day here in the forest." Harry's last sentence was played off as an attempt at being casual but the others could feel the grief from his remembrance.

Then Harry's words hit Fenrir and he stared at him in shock, "You're the one that he wants to kill?"

Harry nodded and then tilted his head in a way that melted Fenrir's heart, "Yeah, I thought that you knew that. I told you some of my school year adventures."

Fenrir snorted, "For some reason, I thought that you were just unfortunate not that you are being targeted by a dark lord!"

Remus and Sirius looked amused at his shock and they knew that they had a new club member. Their club was called, "People Who Care About Harry and Are Going Gray Because of It". It was a long name but they haven't found a better name yet.

Harry looked a bit sheepish, "oops, I thought you knew. My bad. Now moving on, Fenrir would you like to use this chance to explain things to Remus."

Fenrir snorted, "You will not be able to avoid that conversation forever." Fenrir then proceeded to tell Remus about why he bit him as a child and told the story about Fenrir going back to raise him as his own. He talked about losing his pack but he skirted around the reason why he bit Harry. He knew that Harry wanted him to tell Remus his history but he was still a bit nervous about being so vulnerable around others.

Aspen felt downright uncomfortable. Her alpha had never been so open in front of her and she knew that he probably didn't want her here to hear it. Remus was originally skeptical about Fenrir's story but he could smell no lie. He could smell a lot of discomfort from both Fenrir and Aspen though. Sirius was internally cackling. Not about what Fenrir was saying because that shit was sad but at the fact that they were having a confessional circle with some of the most badass werewolves in all of Europe. Only Harry could convince the big bad werewolf to talk about his feelings instead of eating little red riding hood.

When Fenrir finished, Harry turned to Remus, "Your turn now."

Remus sighed. After the two of them, he wasn't too sure what to make of this situation. "...I think I understand what you are saying. It is a bit hard to believe though. You are telling me that everything I believed to be true for my entire life has been a lie from one person or another...I believe that my father lied, he had an extreme hatred for all things non-human. However, you are also claiming that almost the entire wizarding world has had one misunderstanding after another."

Remus stood and walked to the tree line facing away from the rest of the group. The werewolves and even Harry could tell how conflicted Remus felt about the information that he received. However, Harry was confident that Remus would understand. Remus turned back towards them and nodded at Harry. "Don't worry, pup. I believe you and... Greyback, but this is going to take some adjustment." Turning towards Fenrir, "So when are you going to talk about the fact that you intend to be the mate of my godson."

Fenrir quickly looked at Harry as if to plead for him to save him from this situation but Harry ignored him to stare at Remus. Fenrir huffed, "Well I wanted to make sure that you were fine with the first bits of information before I added too much."

"...sure. I don't think I believe that but I do believe that Harry doesn't mind. That is if you are sure, Harry, that this is what you want?"

"Honestly, I don't know if that is what I want. I have told Fenrir that but I have also promised to give him a chance to reassure me."

Fenrir's frown was incredibly deep and let everyone know that he wasn't pleased by Harry's indecisiveness but he also didn't say anything to counter Harry's words.

Sirius jumped onto Harry in his dog form causing everyone to jerk to attention.

"Sirius! Ew! What are you doing?"

Fenrir grabbed Harry from his scruff and snarled.

Sirius quickly shifted back into a human and burst out laughing, "You guys should see all of your faces! This was getting far too serious and I thought I could lighten the mood."

Remus sighed and Harry laughed along with Sirius.

"Well, life will always be interesting with you as my mate."

Aspen was very excited to see what life would look like with these three new additions to the pack.
