Chapter Twelve
THE DAY BEFORE HOGSMEADE WEEKEND
Fenrir's POV:
"But mom!" Damion whined from the couch with Harry.
"No buts young man! You are to finish your homework before you can play with Eric!" Harry said sternly making Damion groan in annoyance and making me laugh. Damion looked at me with pleading eyes.
"I seem to recall a certain someone telling me stories of them doing their homework during breakfast the day it was due because they were to busy having fun with friends and causing trouble." I said smirking at Harry who turned and glared at me.
"Well that certain someone wants his son to do better in school than me, so he can have a good future. I didn't want him to know of my lack of studying so that he wouldn't think it didn't matter!" he growled out and I held my hand in front of me and Dame laughed.
"Come on mom, please! I promise the second I get in I'll start on it! It's nine in the morning now and since classes are closed so the professor's can have meetings today I'll come in about one and start my homework. I promise! PLEASE!" Dame asked giving Harry his best puppy dogs eyes, which were pretty good since he changed his eyes to his wolf eyes. Harry looked at him for a second before sighing and answering him.
"Alright! Alright! But only if you promise to be in by one! Not only did you promise to do your homework, but it's going to rain today and I don't want you getting sick." he said and Dame's eyes brightened and he hugged Harry tightly.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I promise to be in by one!" he said before sprinting to me and sprinting through the door yelling for Eric. I laughed and shook my head and turned to see that Harry had moved to stand in front of the window with his arms crossed. I walked up behind me and wrapped him in a protective embrace and breathed in his scent and smiled when he leaned into me.
"Care to share your thoughts Love!" I asked softly and he just stood there in silence for a few minutes before he sighed and we looked out the window to see that the boys had wasted no time getting outside and turning into their wolves and racing towards the forest, most likely to play with the rest of the pack.
"I'm just so scared babe. I had hoped Damion wouldn't have the childhood I had where a psycho is trying to kill him every year. Now there's a possibility of a raid happening soon and he'll most likely see the after affects of it. I didn't want my child to grow up knowing what war was, what fighting for your life meant, but it looks like it's going to happen. Now Voldemort's not only coming after me, but after my child as well. All because he came from me! I don't know want what happened to Cedric happen to him Love. I don't think I'll survive if it does! I honestly think I should go to Voldemort and beg him to take me and leave Damion alone." he finished in a whisper. By the end of his speech I was tense and holding him so tight that he probably couldn't breath.
I quickly spun him around and grabbed both his shoulders and locked eyes with him. "I don't EVER want to hear you say something like that ever again! I wouldn't be able to survive losing you again and it would break Damion apart! He just got his mother back and you're thinking of taking that away from him! I know you want to protect him, I do too, but getting yourself killed isn't the answer. We'll find a way to keep Dame out of the war so he never has to think about it nor see the affect it has. He won't have to fight for his life because you and I will do it for him. And he didn't have a childhood like yours. He grew up with other kids and had fun, even if he missed his mother, he was able to smile and be a normal kid, just like you wanted him to. I made sure that's how he grew up. Now with war on the horizon, Damion needs to be prepared for the worst. Which might very well mean losing either one of us or both. He's a strong kid hon, he'll be OK. Us and the rest of the pack will make sure of it." I said and he looked at me with tears in his eyes.
I pulled him into my arms and held him as he cried into my chest. Giving as much love, support, and comfort as I could. He pulled back after a while and leaned up and kissed me roughly yet passionately. Shocked for only a second, I quickly kissed back. We stayed there for a few moments before I picked him up and headed for the stairs to the seventh year boys dorm room.
When we got there I quickly shut the door and used my wandless magic to lock it and place a silencing charm on it and laid Harry down on the bed so I could show him how much I love and need him.
FEW HOURS LATER
Fenrir's POV:
After our very hot love making we had cuddled for a few minutes before getting up to clean ourselves and headed back to the common room to cuddle some more by the fire. Harry had laid down and I laid behind him to spoon him. I heard him sigh when I laid beside him and he snuggled closer to me making me smile lovingly at the back of his head.
I laid my head on the arm rest and breathed in Harry's beautiful scent, 'Merlin he smells more amazing every time he's near me!' I thought to myself and pulled my mate closer to me and gave a content sigh myself. After a few minutes of just laying there in silence I was beginning to fall asleep when I heard Harry's voice.
"Do you really think everything's going to be OK?" he whispered and I leaned up to where I could see his face and he turned a little to look at me. I leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss and pulled up a bit and smiled at him.
"I don't think everything will be OK. I KNOW everything will be OK." I told him and he smiled at me and kissed my cheek before turning back around and I laid back down beside him pulling him even closer to me.
We both fell asleep right after that.
Damion's POV:
"Man it's almost one! I have to go." I said sadly and turned back to the castle and started the hike back up to it from the Quidditch field. Eric came up beside me and groaned a little.
"Why do you have to go in! It's only one in the afternoon!" he whined and I laughed a little at him and smiled.
"Because I promised mom that I'd be in before one to start my homework and because it's supposed to rain any minute." I said and he looked up and noticed the gray clouds everywhere.
"Man that means we can't come back out at all today! This sucks!" he said kicking the dirt like a baby and pouted and I just sighed and shook my head and kept walking, not bothering to see if he was following me.
When we got back into the castle we headed straight for the common room to start on our homework. When we got there I smiled at the sight before me.
Mom and dad were on the couch as close as they could get to one another and were both sound asleep. 'Good, they both deserve a little nap.' I thought to myself and signaled to Eric to be quiet and we went up to the dorms and started on our homework.
A few hours later we both had our homework and down I was very tired. I looked outside to see that it had indeed started to rain, pretty heavily actually. I yawned and looked at Eric.
"I know we were planning on going to annoy Uncle Ron after our homework was done but I'm pretty tired so you go on ahead. I'm going to stay here and take a nap." I told him and he nodded and waved bye before running through the door in search of Uncle Ron. I walked over to my bed and laid down and pulled the covers over me and snuggled into the comforter and fell asleep.
Only it wasn't a dreamless sleep...
I looked around at all the burning buildings and people running for their lives. The air smelled of smoke, blood, and death and I hated the smell of it. Looking around more closely I saw that the whole pack was here as well, and it looked like some were fighting people in black robes while the others helped people to safety.
'We must be in Hogsmeade, I can see the school from here and it looks like the pack is leading people there to be safe from the attack. Am I seeing the raid?' I thought to myself and looked around and was correct about it being the raid. The black robed people had creepy masks on and mom said that the ones with masks worked for Voldemort.
"We need to get out of here!" Eric yelled from beside me. I looked at him in shock not remember seeing him beside me before, but then again I was more focused on the psychos in masks to really notice. Shortly after Eric yelled that Uncle Alex came running up to us with blood on his head and breathing hard.
"You boys need to get out of here now! Follow me I'll take you to the path that leads to Hogwarts, after that find your Aunts Luna and Ginny and stay by them and do everything they tell you boys to do OK." he said and we both nodded and ran after Uncle Alex. When we got to the path he turned and knelt down to us and pulled us both into a tight hug which we both gave back just as tightly. "Please stay safe you two." he whispered as he stood up. We nodded at him and watched him run back into the chaos.
"Let's go find Aunts Luna and Ginny. Dad said that they'd be just up here." Eric said and I nodded at him and went to follow. Only to be stopped by a familiar voice screaming in pain.
"MOM!" I said and instantly turned and ran to where I thought the scream came from, completely ignoring Eric's pleas for me to come back. I ran as fast as I could before deciding it was too slow and shifted into my wolf and continued to run.
The scream came again and I whimpered a little before speeding up and ran towards the scream. When I finally reached mom I made it just in time to see a snakelike man standing over mom who was panting hard on the ground at his feet. I looked over when I heard dad growling and saw that he was in his half wolf state trying to fight off the ten masked people holding him back. "Did you really think you'd beat me Potter." the snakeman said laughing at mom who was struggling to get up.
When he finally got up he looked at snakeman with such hatred that it made me take a step back. I had never seen that look on mom before and it scared me. "I don't have to beat you, I just need to make sure you stay away from my son!" mom said growling at snakeman. Snakeman laughed again and snapped his fingers. Before anyone could do anything mom was pinned to the ground with Dawn on top of him.
"Well, well, seems like I get to finish you off after all." Dawn said smirking at mom who growled and pushed up making Dawn fall off him and mom landed on top of him and scratched him from his left shoulder all the way to his right hip. Dawn screamed in pain and fell unconscious.
"Actually I got to take your sorry arse out." mom said smirking a little before standing up and faced snakeman again. Only this time he caught sight of me and all color in his face drained as he continued to look at me. Dad started to fight harder when he saw me but the masked people wouldn't budge. Snakeman turned to see what mom was looking at and smiled evilly at me.
"Well since your son decided to join us why not make some introductions hmm?" Snakeman said and slowly made his way to me. I whimpered and started to back up only to hit an invisible wall. I looked back confused but turned when I heard snakeman laugh. "My boy I've created a force field around us, no ones getting in or out unless I die or I feel like taking it down." he said and continued to laugh.
I whimpered again and turned human and looked at mom. Mom seemed to snap out of it when he heard me whimper. "NO!" mom yelled and ran full speed at snakeman, only to be tackled down by ten masked people. Mom fought the masked people as hard as he could but, just like the ones holding dad, they wouldn't budge. Dad was growling even louder and had turned into his wolf and was trying to bite and scratch the ones hold him but they somehow evaded his attacks and one hit him in the head knocking him out.
"Fenrir!" mom yelled and continued to fight the ones holding him back but nothing worked. By this time snakeman was pretty close to me and I turned away from the field and began to slowly back up. Snakeman waved his hand and all of the sudden my legs wouldn't move.
'Why won't my legs move?! The rest of my body works just fine but I can't get my legs to move!' I thought and continued to try and get my legs to move. Snakeman laughed and I looked up at him to see that he had started to circle me.
"That won't work child. I placed a spell that locks your legs up and you won't be able to move for a few minutes, which is more than enough time." he laughed and smiled at me and continued to circle me.
"Who are you?!" I asked trying to hide my fear. Snakeman stopped and looked at mom with mock hurt eyes.
"Why Potter, you never told Damion here about me? I'm hurt really. How can the child of the famous Boy-Who-Lived not recognized his own mother's enemy that killed his parents all those years ago." he said and smirked at me when my eyes widened.
"Voldemort!" I whispered and his smirked grew.
"That's right child. Now that we all know each other." he paused and looked at mom who was currently trying to rip the arms off the masked figure, who is actually a death eater now that I know who this guy is, the was holding him from the waist and growled at Voldemort. Voldemort smiled and walked up behind me and wrapped an arm around my throat and I flinched at his touch and instinctively reached my hands up to try and remove his arm but it only tightened. He smiled at mom and continued. "Why don't we decided who gets to die first hmm?" he said and laughed and let go of me and walked to stand between me and mom.
I looked at mom who looked back at me and smiled a little at me. "Don't worry sweetheart, I'll get you out of here. I won't let this snake harm you!" mom said through the link and I looked at him confused.
"What about you? Aren't you going to try and get away from him too?" I asked and he smiled at me and nodded slightly.
"I promised I wouldn't leave again didn't I? I just want to get you out of here and away from him. He won't hesitate to hurt you honey and I won't let that happen!" mom said and I smiled at him before looking back at Voldemort who had started to laugh again.
"I know who to start with!" he said and looked at me and my eyes widened in fear. Mom growled deeper and turned into his wolf form like dad did, only he was having more luck with it than dad.
'You really don't want to piss off a mama-werewolf.' I thought to myself and turned back to Voldemort who had taken his wand out.
"Why don't we start with you child? I'm sure your mommy over here would love to see you bleed." he laughed and sent a curse towards me that I never heard before.
'I'm so sorry I'll die like Cedric mom.' I thought and closed my eyes and waited for the pain.
Only it never came.
I opened my eyes slowly to see mom standing in front of me shielding me with his body which had taken the spell full on. "MOM! NO!" I yelled as mom coughed up blood and started to fall. I caught him as best as I could and gently laid him on the ground as his breathing became labored.
The last thing I heard was Voldemort's crazed laugh.
I woke up screaming at the top of my lungs. A few seconds later after I was done screaming, mom and dad came bursting into the room looking very worried.
"What is it son, what's wrong?" dad asked sitting beside me and mom on the other. I didn't answer dad, instead I kept my eyes on mom and launched into his arms the second he had sat down. The moment I was in his arms I started to bawl my eyes out completely missing mom and dad's worried looks they exchange above me.
Mom wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled closer and sobbed into his chest. I felt mom's hand on my head as he started to speak, "Damion sweetie you're scaring us. What's wrong honey, talk to us please." mom begged and I looked up into his worried eyes and snuggled closer if it was even possible at this point.
"I-I had a n-nightmare." I whispered and felt mom tense up and knew dad had done the same thing.
"What was is about son?" dad asked gently and I looked at him then up at mom then back at him. He seemed to understand because he turned his worried eyes to mom and more fear crossed his face.
I looked at mom who placed a hand on my cheek and dad had moved closer and started to rub my arm in comfort. I sighed and looked at my lap. "I saw the raid when it happens." I said and heard them both take in a breath.
"Tell us what you saw baby boy." mom said gently and I leaned into my parents touches for support and began to retell what I just saw. By the end of it, I was sobbing again and mom had me in a tight embrace with his head resting on the top of my head as he rocked me back and forth while dad kept rubbing my arm.
"Please don't go to Hogsmeade mom, you too dad. Please don't go." I whispered and clung to the front of mom's shirt as if my life depended on it. Mom started to rub my back soothingly and whispered comforting words to me while I sobbed. I completely missed the tears in my parents eyes and the way their free hands clung to each other giving each other strength as they tried to give me strength.
After a few minutes I pulled back and mom wiped the tears from my face and lifted my face to look at him. He smiled and kissed my forehead and looked at me again. "I can't tell you that we won't go to Hogsmeade honey because we are. Not only do we want to be there with you, but we have to in case the raid happens tomorrow. For all we know your vision could've been what's to come next weekend and this one will be raid free. How about this, your father and I will go to this one and the three of us will stay home next weekend and make it a family weekend. That sound good?" mom asked and I smiled and nodded and leaned into both my parents when they hugged me tightly between them.
'Mom's right, for all I know that could've been next weekend. We'll go together as a pack tomorrow and have a lot of fun and next weekend my parents will stay completely away from Hogsmeade.' I thought and snuggled closely to them both when they laid me down and laid beside me on both sides and had their arms wrapped around my waist in a protective way.
I sighed happily and the three of us fell into dreamless sleeps.
HOGSMEADE TRIP
Harry's POV:
"Whoa mom check out that broom!" Dame yelled and grabbed my arm and pulled me to the window with the latest broom model in it. "The Nimbus 2002! It's supposed to be just as fast if not faster than the Firebolt!" he said jumping up and down with his face pressed to the glass. I laughed and shook my head and smiled when arms wrapped around my waist.
"Your son here has found a sport he likes." I said and laughed when Fenrir groaned.
"Not another Quidditch player! It's bad enough my mate gives me heart attacks each game, but now I'll have to worry about my son too!" He whined and I laughed at him as Damion pulled us into the store begging us to get it for him. A few minutes later we came out with Damion's first broom and headed towards the Weasley's Joke Shop.
This time it was Fenrir's turn to act like a child and pull me and Damion to anything he thought was cool and/or funny. In the end Fenrir had used all his spending money for the day at the shop. "I better not hear you asking me for more money after you just spent it all at that store." I lectured and he just waved me off as he and Damion looked in his bag at everything he had bought and I sighed and shook my head in both amusement and slight annoyance.
Around two in the afternoon we met up with the rest of the pack for lunch at the Leaky Cauldron and showed each other what they had gotten. After the meal we all went separate ways again to look around more and Eric joined us since his parents wanted to go look in a store Eric had no interest in, though he would go back with them when they were done.
"You boys stay right here where we can see you while we go in and get the ice cream OK." I told them and they both nodded and sat on the bench in front of the window as me and Fenrir went into the ice cream parlor. Just as we were checking out a huge explosion came from the back of the store making us all leave quickly. Fenrir and I grabbed the boys and ran as far from the building as possible before it exploded completely.
"You two go find a place to hide now and wait for a pack member to come and bring you to safety!" Fenrir told them and Eric nodded but Damion looked scared. I knelt down and hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear.
"Everything will be OK baby boy, I promise." I whispered in his ear and he just nodded and went after Eric to hide, but not before looking back once more to look at us. When he was out of sight I turned to Fenrir who nodded and we turned to the nearest death eaters and started to fight back.
'I won't let you destroy my family again Voldemort!' I thought to myself as I ripped a death eaters throat out.
Damion's POV:
I was terrified. The whole thing was my dream in live action. 'Here comes the curse soon,' I thought to myself.
"Why don't we start with you child? I'm sure your mommy over here would love to see you bleed." he laughed and sent a curse towards me that I never heard before.
'I'm so sorry I'll die like Cedric mom.' I thought and closed my eyes and waited for the pain.
Only it never came.
I opened my eyes slowly to see mom standing in front of me shielding me with his body which had taken the spell full on. "MOM! NO!" I yelled as mom coughed up blood and started to fall. I caught him as best as I could and gently laid him on the ground as his breathing became labored.
I heard Voldemort laughing crazy just like I did in my vision but I didn't look up at him, I just keep looking at mom who was getting paler by the second. "You're mother should've let you take that curse. It's a curse of my own making, see, when a person gets hit with this curse, he or she will slowly die from the inside out. Meaning all their organs will slowly start to shut down and it's a very slow, painful process. He has a little more than five minutes before he will most likely slip into a coma, and when that happens he won't ever wake up and within two weeks he'll be die! Haha, I win either way today! Though I do wish he hadn't torn all of my death eaters that were holding him a part." Voldemort said looking over to where there was a huge pool of blood with body parts scattered everywhere.
I looked at him with hatred and stood in front of mom ready to protect him at any moment. "You monster! What did mom ever do to you?! What did I do to you?! Nothing that's what! You killed Grandma and Grandpa and tried to kill mom over some stupid prophecy! And since mom had me that makes me a target too! You're just a monster!" I yelled and he gave me an evil smile.
"Thank you for that complement." he said still smiling and I growled in anger. "I do admire your courage child, unlike your mother you seem to be strong and brave. Your mother was weak and afraid to do anything. I'd very much like you to join me. What do you say hmm? Together I'm sure we could rule both the Wizarding World and the Muggle World!" He started to laugh but before any noise came out I had him pinned to the ground and growled at him while in my half wolf state.
"Don't you ever call my mom weak and afraid! He's one of the bravest, strongest people I've ever met! He's also loving and caring and the best mother anyone could ask for! You took him from me once and I'll find away to not let it happen again!" I growled and he just smirked at me.
"You're mother's very weak my child. If he were stronger then maybe that poor Diggory boy would still be alive and I probably wouldn't be here right now." he said and I growled deeper.
"I'm not YOUR child and I NEVER will be! I'm the son of Fenrir and Harry Potter- Greyback! Mom couldn't have done anything that night because he was in pain from that stupid scar you gave him and the only reason you're here right now is because your the coward who had to tie mom up so he couldn't defend himself because you know he would've won!" I yelled and he glared at me.
"You're walking a thin line child" he hissed and I growled.
"And you won't live to see another day!" I growled and turned into my wolf form and was about to bite down when his words stopped me.
"I'm the only one that know where and what the cure is. Kill me now and your mother will die within two weeks." he said and I hesitated for a second before looking into his eyes and saw both truth and lie in them. I growled and turned half human again and used wandless magic to petrify him. He was shocked and it was my turn to smirk.
"Told you mom's not as weak as you say." I told and scratched his arm deeply, but not deeply enough to kill him. He screamed and passed out from the pain and I kicked the side of his head for good measure before running back to mom. "Mom? Mom! Please wake up mom!" I yelled and gently shook him. He groaned and rolled his head over to me and opened his eyes. He smiled at me and I smiled back with tears in my eyes.
I heard dad start to wake up then and looked up at him to see him human again. "Dad, come quick! Mom's hurt badly!" I yelled and he was up in an instant and at mom's side checking for injuries. He jumped back though when mom screamed in pain when he touched his chest lightly and a cringed at the sound and more tears came.
"W-what happened son?" dad asked in fear and I sniffed and told him everything after he had passed out while never taking my eyes off mom. Dad was crying now and carefully picked mom up and held him in his lap and we both flinched whenever he screamed or moaned in pain. Dad looked over at Voldemort then at me and I shrugged a little.
"He was calling mom weak and a coward. I would've killed him but he claimed to be the only one who knew where and what the cure was. We only have two weeks dad, I didn't want to risk it if he was telling the truth." I said and more tears came. I felt dad's hand on my shoulder and looked at him to see him smiling a watery smile at me.
"You did good son, I'm so proud of you." he said and I just cried harder.
'If it wasn't for me mom wouldn't be like this!' I thought and my eyes widened when I saw mom's eyes begin to close. "Dad hurry and get mom to the infirmary! He's starting to slip into the coma! I'll get Grandpa Albus to deal with Voldemort! Please get mom to the infirmary!" I yelled and dad nodded before apparating straight there and I went to find Grandpa.
'Please hold on mom, please.'
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I know it was both long and had it's shocker and suspenseful moments but this is a VERY important chapter! again PLEASE DON'T KILL ME FOR THE CLIFFY! Especially since I won't be able to update until most likely tomorrow or Saturday morning! Please review though!:)
