A/N: This chapter was a bit of a struggle for some reason… Ah well I got 12 weeks summer vacation now (minus a day or two for exams and the like) so I've got lotsa time for this! There's a bit of random werewolf term-y stuff here that I guess(?) I made up. If I'm accidentally stealing it from somewhere; my bad!

Barely two days had passed since Harry had sent out his letter, but already he was worrying whether or not Remus and Sirius would show up. 'What if they changed their minds?' He thought. 'What if they don't want a werewolf for a godson? What if-'

"Alpha! Alpha!" his inner ramblings came to a halt as Kimmy came skidding into his bedroom. "I smell a Beta and a human on the north side of the forest!"

Harry was on his feet immediately and walking out the door with Kimmy on his heals. "A Beta?"

Kimmy nodded. "Yeah; not quite an Alpha like you are, but higher than a Gamma or Delta like us cubs."

Pack hierarchy rather confused Harry. There seemed to be three or so ranks from what the cubs had explained to him. Deltas, the citizens of the pack he supposed, who were unable to defend themselves and relied on the rest of the pack; Gammas, who protected the Deltas; Betas who were the right hand and advisors of the Alpha; and the Alpha who protected and provided for all.

His pack consisted of Deltas (Mark, Chelsea, Jacob, Clarabelle and Henry) and Gammas (Michael, Tasha and Kimmy.) Though, with his leadership skills, Harry could see Michael becoming a strong Beta when he was older.

Down in the kitchen, all the cubs had gathered when Kimmy had run up to inform their Alpha of what her keen nose had picked up.

"Alright, pack," Harry addressed them. "I'm hoping the two trespassers in our territory are my godfathers, but just in case we're treating this as an invasion of a foreign werewolf and human. I want you five," he nodded at the twins, Jacob, Clara and Henry, "to stay behind."

"What?!"

"But Alpha!"

"This sucks!"

"Hawweeee!"

"Awww…"

"Enough! I have made my decision as Alpha, you dare challenge it?" They all looked down at their feet, not used to their Alpha being so strict. They shook their heads, and Chelsea even sniffled a bit. "Good. Now who wants to say goodbye before we go?" Harry's arms were immediately filled with wiggling pups, all wanting a bit of their big brother before he went off into the unknown.

"They're coming closer," Kimmy piped up, her face pressed against the slightly open window as she scented the air.

"Alright," extracting himself from the little ones, Harry turned to Tasha. "Let's get going."

They were twenty minutes deep into the forest when Harry called his small convoy of pups to a halt, sniffing the air. He turned around and grinned to Michael, Kimmy and Tasha.

"Definitely Sirius and Remus," he said, and the pups relaxed visibly, though they knew their Alpha would have protected them no matter who it was.

Through the thick trees ahead, two figures came into view and voices could be heard.

"Sirius, I told you we were meant to go in the other direction!"

"How do you know it was that way?!"

"The scent of Harry is stronger that way!"

"Oh… Well why didn't you say so!"

"I did–"

"Ahem." Harry cleared his throat in an attempt to break up his quarrelling godfathers (seriously, they were like an old married couple!).

"Harry!" Sirius practically squealed, before attempting to launch himself at his godson.

"Sirius, wait –" but Remus' warning came too late and Sirius quickly found himself pinned to the ground by three young werewolves, all determined to protect their Alpha.

Remus could feel the wolf inside him, buried deep by years of Wolfsbane potion which caged his inner beast. Now though, Remus could feel it beneath his skin, reacting to the Alpha's presence. Confused, Remus whined in the back of his throat and fell to his knees.

"Tasha, Michael, Kimmy!" Harry barked. "Release him at once! He meant us no harm." The Gammas nodded and let go of Sirius, who fell to the ground looking at Remus in worry.

"Moony..?"

Harry stalked over to Remus and - on his knees as he was - Harry seemed to tower over him, which made the older werewolf shrink back.

"Moony," Harry said softly, placing both hands on either side of the man's face and tilting it up, "You don't need to cringe before me."

"But Alpha –"

"Hush, Remus. I am your pup, your godson, before I am your Alpha." He knelt before Remus, allowing him to gather Harry in his harms.

"Ah, pup," Remus murmured into his unruly hair. "You've become such a strong, young man, a strong Alpha…"

This tender moment was, of course, ruined by Sirius.

"Moooooonyyyyyyyy," he whined. "You're hoggin' all the Harry! And this kid won't let me go; he's got quite a grip! He looked up at Michael, impressed. Seems he had grabbed the older man by the shoulder when Harry had approached Remus.

Harry chuckled and stood up, "Alright Michael, let him go." Harry braced himself, well prepared for the tackle Sirius graced him with once he had been released.

Introductions of Remus and Sirius to the rest of the pack had been… Interesting to say the least. Though wary at first, the younger cubs soon found themselves crowding around the two Marauders, listening to the tales of magic and Hogwarts they so enjoyed.

Once bedtime arrived, Harry shepherded the protesting cubs up to their bedroom and finally got some one-on-one time with his godfathers.

Sitting between them on the couch, Harry sighed, "They're cute kids, aye?" he gave a sad smile. "Life's been pretty rough for them, but I think they've turned out pretty well, considering."

"Where are their sires?" Remus questioned.

Harry shrugged. "Gone, Azkaban, dead; numerous places. Their parent's weren't too thrilled with their condition, so without their sires they've been pretty much on their own."

Sirius slung his arm over Harry's shoulder. "You seem to have been doing a bang-up job of caring for them, Pronglet."

Harry grinned. "Thanks, Siri. Though they were really they ones caring for me those first few days," he laughed.

"How did this happen, Harry? Who was it that infected you?" Moony questioned.

"It was actually Jacob."

Sirius looked surprised, "That little one? Who clung to you?"

Harry chuckled. "Yup, that's the one. It was completely by accident, of course. Well the Wolf did it on purpose, obviously, looking for an Alpha. But Jacob was very apologetic."

Remus rubbed a hand over his face with a sigh, "You always manage to get yourself into the strangest of situations!"

"Well it's what I do best!"
