Here's another chapter for you guys! Sorry it was a bit of a wait :P Thanks again to Ambo for betaing and a special shout out KingofLoosePages/Taku! Get typing Taku! XD

A few hours later, Harry had gone through all his presents (books from Hermione, Quidditch stuff from Ron, a large chocolate cake from Mrs. Weasley, which all the children squealed over and begged Harry for a slice), all the letters (mainly consisting of 'Where are you Harry!?'s and a 'My Dear boy, why have you left the safety of your relatives' home' from Dumbledore which he promptly ripped to shreds) and was now watching his pups attempt to cook him a 'special birthday breakfast'.

After being fed make shift 'pancakes' by his flour covered children, Harry settled down to write his letter back his godparents.

Dear Sirius and Remus,

I wasn't taken from my relatives! Well not really… I wasn't planning on leaving, per se, but I'm not planning to go back either. I'm perfectly happy where I am and who I'm with. And I certainly haven't been captured by Voldemort!

To tell the truth I've become the "father" of seven kids. You'd like them, they're a great bunch, even if they did give me the same furry little virus they have.

You have it too, Moony.

Reading all this might be a bit of a shock (it was to me when I woke up!) but I'm really happy here, and I'd like for you to come and meet all the kids sometime. There's seven of them, Tasha (9), Michael (8), Kimmy (7), Mark and Chelsea (6), Jason (4), and Henry and Clarabelle (4 and 3). The little ones can be a handful but I'm getting used to this older sibling thing!

It's really nice, to have a family now. You two are the best almost-parents I could ever ask for, but having a bunch to look after myself is really great.

You should come visit us sometime, if you like; I'll mail you the address once I figure out what it actually is…This place doesn't have a mailbox anymore - the house is pretty rundown. I'm not going to give too much away since this letter might be intercepted, even with Hedwig carrying it.

I really hope my…current condition doesn't change anything between us. I don't really want anyone else to know about this yet though, so if anyone asks can you tell them I'm staying with a friend? Say he's a muggle, that'll explain me leaving all my magical things behind.

Love,

Harry.

Harry, hoping that this would be enough to reassure Remus and Sirius that he was all right, attached the letter to Hedwig's leg and sent her off out the window to Grimmauld Place.

Lunch was being served by Mrs Weasley when a tapping was heard at the window. All the Weasleys, plus Hermione, as well as many Order members were staying at Sirius' house for most of the summer, especially since Harry had gone 'missing'.

Sirius' chair clattered to the floor in his rush to the window. "It's Hedwig!"

"Harry wrote back?!" Remus gasped.

Quickly opening the window and relieving Hedwig of her letter, he quickly read over Harry's letter.

And his eyes promptly rolled into the back of his head and he fell to the ground in a dead faint.

"Sirius!" Remus cried, rushing to his friend's side and picking up the fallen letter. His face quickly turned pale. "Oh Dear Merlin…"

"What is it?" Hermione asked, standing up from her place on the opposite side of the table. "Has You-Know-Who got Harry?"

"Er…" Remus hastily stuffed the letter in his pocket. "No, he left of his own accord apparently. Uh, he's staying with a muggle friend of his apparently, which is why he left his wand and things behind."

"Oh, that boy!" Molly huffed. "Always worrying me in some way or another. You'll write him back and tell him to come home right away, won't you Remus?"

"Yes, yes of course," Remus said distractedly, hurrying out of the room and dragging the still unconscious Sirius behind him.

Harry was getting rather tired of this whole 'Happy Birthday' thing.

"Happy biwfday, happy biwfday, happy biwfday!" Clarabelle sang as she skipped around her Alpha.

Harry had to admit; she was rather cute. Tasha had just braided flowers into her hair, but the chanting wouldn't stop!

The summer heat had really hit hard today, forcing the children out into the shade of the forest, sprawled onto the grass in various states of undress with their tongues lolling out of the sides of their mouths. Sometimes they really looked like the puppies they were.

All except Clarabelle, of course, who was content in her singing.

"Happy biwfday, happy bi- Oooh the pweety birdy's back!" she squealed and jumped up and down, waiving her little arms at Hedwig, who had just perched in one of the trees singing the clearing they had gathered in.

Hedwig cooed down at the small girl, before leaving the safety of the tree to sit on her master's outstretched arm. She stuck out her leg so Harry could take the attached letter.

"Hey there girl," Harry murmured to her as she pushed her head against his hand for a pat. Unfurling the letter, Harry saw, as he had assumed, that is was from Remus and Sirius.

Dear Pup,

It's kind of ironic that I've always called you that now, isn't it? Well, after reading your letter Sirius passed out cold, but don't worry! His head is thick enough to protect what little brain he has left.

Aw, Moony you're starting to sound like Snivelus!

See? He's up already.

Who're you talking t- YOU'RE WRTING A LETTER TO HARRY!! Harry! Where are you!? Don't worry, Paddy's coming for you, kiddo! We'll take care of your little furry problem and everything'll be ok!

Oh calm down, Padfoot.

Haaarrrreeeehheeeeheeeeheeeee!!

SIRIUS! Stop crying for Merlin's sake! I'll admit this is a bit of a shock, but Harry seems to be fine. He's happy and we can get through this. Now get out of my letter!

Dear Merlin I'm starting to rethink using dicto-quills.

Anyway Harry, as you can see Padfoot and I are willing to help you in what ever way we can (though you may be bombarded by a suffocating Sirius hug as soon as we see you). Meeting up as soon as possible is probably the best action we can take at the moment, so you tell us when and where and we'll be there!

Make sure it's soon!

Love Remus and Sirius!

By now all the pups had crowded around and were listening to Harry reading his letter.

Mark scrunched his nose cutely. "These grown ups sounds weird." He said, and Chelsea nodded her agreement while clinging to her brother's arm.

Jacob grinned, "I like them! They're silly!"

Harry laughed, "Well, I'd better mail them back, you kids stay out here a bit and I'll be right back." He quickly went back to the house and came back with a muggle ballpoint and some paper.

"Right," he said, sitting back down amongst the pups, "Ideas for meeting places?"

"Ummm…the house?" Henry suggested.

"Maybe," Harry said gently, "But if someone bad finds the letter then they'd know where we lived."

"Oh…" Henry murmured, looking a bit disappointed.

"It was a good try though," Harry said, ruffling Henry's hair, which caused him to brighten a bit from his Alpha's praise.

"How about somewhere in the forest?" Michael piped up. "We know most of the forest!"

"Yeah!" Tasha added. "We can sniff them out if they can't find us!"

Harry thought this over, "Sounds like a good idea to me," he said and caused the two eldest children to grin and high five each other. He laughed and quickly penned out a reply letter.

Dear Sirius and Remus,

Wow, Sirius has gotten really emotional lately hasn't he?

Okay, I talked it over with my pack and we're decided that you two should come to the Surrey Wood (it's about 5km west of Privet Drive - right under your noses the whole time!) and we'll come find you.

Come anytime, we'll know when you're in our territory.

Love, Harry.

Attaching the letter to Hedwig's leg, Harry sent her off once more.
