A/N: ALLLLLRIGHT! This is the start of the second half of Pet, and it begins half a year after the last part left off. Which places us somewhere near July 25th….with no year date because I suck at following the dates in the books! This chapter though, is just more explaining than anything.

New warnings: Mpreg(In the end of this part, there are gonna be probably 4 parts to the story.) blood, gore, evilness, goodness Ect. Ect.

Harry's eyes darted around the small nursery that Tom had added onto Riddle Manor. The Dark Lord didn't realize he would need a nursery until he saw the full extent to who and what was brought back from the raid six months ago. A wolf pup, found by Remus, was curled up in a litter of puppies near their mother. The kittens, a total of 12, were busy playing and crawling over Harry's wings. Their mothers either sleeping or out hunting while their prince watched the kits. One mother, a small cat named Sasha, stayed behind though. She watched amusedly as one kit poked her stomach, leaping up when a small front paw poked back. There were larger babies though, a little filly by the name of Alice seemed to take after two of her three new 'Daddies' now. Fred and George finally got around to adopting the little girl, and Draco couldn't say no after that. He actually had taken a liking to the girl- and the twins after some pushing from Harry- and grew to see her as a daughter. What had caught Harry's eye though, was the little leopard cub playing with a werewolf. Pure white wings with black tips spread out from the cat's back.

"Calix!" The leopard looked at Harry, his teeth attached to the pup's ear. "Don't play so rough!" He nodded. For a 1 and a half year old, in his animagus form Calix could understand things fairly well.

"Oh let him be Harry. Teddy's durable." Sirius grinned as he shut the door to the nursery before any wandering paws could lead out of there. "Besides, how else is that little one gonna be able to play? With you and Snape always babying him."

Harry flicked one ear before slowly getting up, the kittens sliding off of his back and wings. One little one, a dark tabby with fire red eyes, stayed on. Harry had wanted to name him Mini-Tom because of his grouchiness. Finally settling on Marvolo. It was rare to see the kit in the nursery, considering Tom had taken he and his mother to live in the study. They were natural fire-elementals, something rare but not heard of. The inner circle had known that sometimes magic attached itself to animals, who mere more in tune with mother nature. This cat was lucky enough to even pass it onto her only son.

The large leopard let out a small mewling purr, catching the attention of the babies. Alice, Teddy, and Calix ran over to his side. "It's time for bed little ones. Be kind for Sasha tonight and I'll bring you all a very special treat tomorrow." He said. It calmed them down as Harry transformed with Calix and Alice, picking up his son. Teddy was picked up by Sirius, who cuddled the small wolf. "I take it Sev sent you?" He asked his godfather.

"And Remus, and the twins. They want their kids back." Sirius said as they walked, Alice between them. "Ya know, I never thought of Snivellus as a parent sort of guy."

"Yes well once you see him with Calix, you wonder how he didn't manage before without a kid." Harry smiled softly. They walked in silence the rest of the way, the only sounds coming from Calix and Teddy in the form of mewls and growls. It amazed and shocked Harry and Severus the first time Calix meowed, shocked them even more when his magic snapped, revealing his animagus form with two small wings. It did explain to them why Harry wanted to protect the baby though.

As the two men reached the study, where everyone else was for a meeting, they stopped at the sound of a crash. "Well that's either Lily throwing a fit or Severus blowing up a potion." Sirius joked. Teddy rolled his eyes.

"Or dad chasing Aunt Lily." He growled. Calix nodded, although he did wonder if his father blew up a potion. Harry sighed and opened the door, dodging a book as it came flying past.

"Or choice d. Hermione's frustrated with trying to look things up on Winged Cats and doesn't know how to look for the book that's in cat speak." Harry chose, walking over to a shelf and picking the right book up, setting on his best friend's lap. "Honestly 'Mione, there are kids here, be more gentle."

The rest of the death eaters watched in wonder as Harry scolded Hermione. They knew her temper could get as bad as Bella's at times, and tended to stay out of her way. Blaise chuckled affectionately at his girlfriend's frustration, turning into a full laugh as Alice leapt onto Draco's lap, a small noise of protest coming from the blonde. It went unheard as the brunette snuggled closer to him.

"Papa I'm sleepy." She said.

Draco sighed. "Sleep then love." He said, hugging his daughter. Sirius set Teddy down and the pup ran over to the much larger wolf curled up near the fireplace. Moony flicked one of his ears as Sirius sat on his back.

"So, Tom, how was the newest raid?" The dog-animagus asked.

"A success. We're getting closer to our goal and the Order's none the wiser." He turned his scarlet gaze to Harry. "You do know that you have a small attachment to your back?"

"Who? Marvolo?" Harry looked over his shoulder at the stripped ears. "He didn't want to let go. Him and Calix. Hermione, what all have you found so far?" He caught the notebook as Hermione tossed it at him, keeping Calix on his hip and using one hand to open the book.

Winged Cats: Rare and dying out, the odd combination of Wind Elemental and Cat Animagi makes for a powerful foe. You never want to meet one in one-on-one combat though. They first appeared when a powerful witch, Fira, was able to receive her animagus form, a right of passage when she was alive. Her jet black wings contrasted blindingly with pure white fur. A tigress of pure silk if one was to ever meet her. Their power comes from the wind they control in their wings, their meow more commanding than even a lions. It is said that it was her magic that made the Winged Cats great. She ruled over all cat animagi, and most of the Wind Elementals. Although, as time went on, the Wind Elementals branched off, and her rule began over only Cat Animagi.

The more curious part, was her mate. He wasn't a Wind Element, nor Cat Animagi. But he was powerful. Their mates tend to hold more power, leading along side the winged cat.

As part of a treaty with the ministry, they are not held under the same laws as witches or wizards.

Newer info: most recent information contains traces of the traits being passed down through bloodlines, even those unrelated to Fira. It is rare though.

"So basically, me and Calix are related, even slightly?" Harry asked, shutting the book. "Is this all you could find?"

"Without this new book, yes." Hermione answered. "And yes to the you and Calix question too. Now let me see your animagus form really quick so I can take a few notes about that too."

Harry handed Calix, who was fast asleep, over to Luna before transforming, spreading his wings out wide. The six months after his last raid did him well. The scars from the fight against Dean and Seamus still visible as two red spots of fur. Concealed between each scar though, were gleaming green eyes. Full of mischief and power, and much more. The dark gray spots that were on his belly and back were gone, the kitten softness it once held when he first turned 17 was gone as well. His fur was now an inky black, it had a sleek shine to it, a sign of a powerful fisher and swimmer. He had a lithe build, no longer scrawny from lack of food and water, now just burning through whatever he ate as quick as he ate it. What drew Hermione's attention though, were his wings. The once concealed downy feathers were replaced with full flight feathers. Each feather black with a red tip. They looked as if dipped in blood before placed carefully on the wing structure. His wing span was nothing to laugh at either. 16 feet from one end to the other, only half a foot separating the base of each wing on Harry's back.

"Amazing…You either had a growth spurt or you've been hiding from us." Hermione said.

Harry purred. "It's a growth spurt. And finally growing out of the awkward kit stage. Sev noticed the down-feathers disappearing a while ago, same with the spots."

"And when did Calix start transforming?" Hermione wrote down what Harry wrote in the notebook. It seemed to only take half a year for Harry's wings to gain full length and feathers. She quickly wrote down the time that he had in his animagus form before the wings as well. "And when did he get wings?"

"He started….around May I think." Harry thought for a second. "The wings came a few weeks ago. They're all down though. And his fur still has the spots. His accidental magic's amazing."

"Alright…it seems like the wings down make themselves known until the owner's used to their animagus form then." Hermione decided, telling everyone in the room. "And the flying doesn't start until around their 17th birthday, when more feathers come in… The spots seem to go away too. It still doesn't explain why Harry's animagus form changed though…And why his wings didn't appear until a little while before his birthday."

"It's because he was the last one." Everyone turned their head to the door, Harry transforming back and leaping into his mate's arms as he walked in. "He was the last winged cat, so his magic wanted to make sure the bloodline stayed strong, even if through blood adoption. To do that, he needed a stronger animagus form. And the form he had wasn't all that strong."

"Strong enough to beat you though." Harry purred, kissing him softly.

"Who was the one who had to hunt for who though?" Severus retorted, returning the kiss. "As for his wings, it was probably protection once again. I asked an old friend of mine, and he said that the feathers of winged cats used to be used in wands. To keep that from happening to Harry, his magic waited until he was safe." Hermione wrote that down as Harry kissed Severus again.

"Ok, ew. Do not need to see my godson kissing Snivellus." Sirius covered his eyes, using his other hand to cover Teddy's. Lily laughed at them, not really caring so long as her son and best friend were happy. "Lils how can you allow this? He's like…our age!"

"And Harry's my age." Hermione retorted. "But I don't have a problem with it. Professor Snape seems to be good for him."

Luna nodded in agreement. She knew that they were good for each other, and Calix too. The Ravenclaw was the first one to accept Calix as part of their small group, falling right into her role of Godmother. It took the rest of them a while to get used to seeing Calix trailing behind Harry or attached to his hip, even longer to get used to seeing him with Severus. It was odd for everyone to see the usually mean and grouchy potion's master playing with the baby.

"Does anyone else have a problem with me and Sev?" Sirius and Tom's hands shot up. "…What Tom?"

"You two are too loud that's what. And no kissing in my study!" Harry laughed at Tom's argument.

"Tom, that's not us you're hearing. It might be Draco and the wonder twins." Said twins grinned. "Or maybe Remy and Siri." Remus blushed. "Or it could've been 'Mione and Blaise or Luna and Neville, though I doubt either of my sisters would forget silencing charms." The girls laughed. "Are you sure it's not yourself you're hearing though? Who are you with at night?" Harry asked.

"That is none of your business." Tom grumbled. "And how should I know to believe you?"

Harry shrugged. "We just haven't done anything like that yet. It's complicated to explain but…we just haven't. It doesn't seem…right yet." He didn't know how to explain it, because Harry didn't understand it himself. It had been 7 months since they started dating, yet things hadn't progressed. Something told him in the back of his mind that it wasn't time yet.

"Oh! I know the reason for that! I saw a chapter of it in here somewhere…I think…" Hermione grabbed the book, flipping it open and handing it to Luna to confirm it.

"Winged Cat Courtships." Luna read. "With Winged Cats becoming less and less common, they started to develop different courtships than a simple relationship. They chose a mate, or mates depending on the person, and that's where courting begins. They chose a powerful mate, either male or female, who must also accept them. Not much is known about how long it will last or what will happen during the courting though."

"Well that's helpful." Severus' tone was full of sarcasm. He took Calix from Luna and looked at everyone else in the room. "It is well past midnight now. The raid was a success. I believe it is time to get some sleep." Harry yawned in agreement.

"Yea. Even just watching the kids is tough…I feel bad for Sasha." He took the sleeping Marvolo off of his back, handing him to Tom before following Severus out of the room and into the hallway. Calix curled closer in the potion's master's arms, his hands holding onto Severus' robes gently as they walked. Harry followed closely, never taking his gaze off of Calix. He relied on his magic to keep him from running into something or tripping down the flight of stairs they had to take to their room. Severus finally gave in, handing their son over to his younger mate.

"You've grown really attached to him, haven't you?" Severus asked. The hall was unusually quiet.

"Yes. Just as I've grown attached to you." Harry answered, leaning against Severus. The older wrapped one arm around Harry's waist, leading the half-asleep teen and their son into the room. Harry set Calix down in his crib before Severus transfigured their robes into sleep-wear. They got into bed, Harry instantly curling into his side. Severus turned over and wrapped his arms around Harry. "I love you." Harry whispered softly.

"I love you too." Severus echoed, resting his chin on top of Harry's head. "And, I believe I know why the courtship is lasting so long."

"Why?" Harry's tired reply came following a small yawn.

"Instincts. And a bit of magic." Severus explained. Harry nodded.

"Enough talk now…I just want to sleep." Harry snuggled closer to Severus, loving nothing more than to just drift off to sleep with his mate. "Good night Sev…"

"Goodnight Harry."

"….Hey Sev?"

"What?"

"Back when all this first started…Siri said something…did you really sleep with Remy?"

"….Goodnight Mr. Potter." Harry hid a purr of laughter behind a cough. They both were in their dreams in a matter of minutes.

Sunlight streamed into the mansion as morning came, waking up few and keeping others asleep. The werewolves though, a small pack consisting of only Fenrir, Remus, and Teddy, were awake before the sun even rose. Padfoot was curled up against Remus, his tail wagging lazily as his dream went on. Teddy was somewhere lost in the thick fur of his daddy. Fenrir was in one of the chairs in the study, reading what seemed to be a fairly advanced defense book. The younger werewolf stretched before standing up, going over to sit on the other chair nearby.

"You seem tense." Fenrir said without looking up form his book. Remus looked at him.

"I'm just worried about my pups." The pups being not only Teddy, but Harry as well. Even with Lily back in the picture, he couldn't just give Harry up to her after he was the one to practically raise him from thirteen on. It was him that Harry came to with questions about puberty, him that Harry first told of his sexuality. Of course he went to Sirius about becoming an animagus, but he still sent the first owl about it to Remus. "Being trapped in here isn't good for them. I was thinking about taking them out soon."

"Seems like a good plan. Be sure to get it cleared with Tom though, and with Snape. Don't think he's gonna let Harry or Calix out of his sight for long."

"They'll be fine." Remus said. "I just think being outside will be good for them."

Harry stood in the large room he shared with Severus and Calix. He spread the wings on his back out fully, his claws flexing once. It was the first time he actually thought about his leopard form. He was huge, probably able to rival Moony in height now. The muscles that he could tense and flex without even thinking about it. The power they hold, he could just tell that he could easily clear a stream in one large leap if he wanted. He didn't doubt that he could leap and touch the top of the bed posts either, no matter how high they were. He craned his neck to rest his head on his shoulder, noticing that, even with all the black on him, two spots of lighter gray were concealed here, on his shoulder blades. He guessed they were to throw off anyone trying to attack from behind or above. His wings were still the same black with red, but they were sleeker, like someone dipped them in oil to repel water. He nodded in satisfaction, seeing that all the fish he ate over the months had given him the result he wanted. Up next under his inspection was his eyesight. He focus his gaze on the moving lump on the bed. He chuckled silently, knowing that if Severus knew he was being used as a test subject for Harry's eyes he would end up always moving just to frustrate his little mate. Harry watched every breath the man took, his gaze traveling to Severus' hair. He could tell, even from his distance away, that it wasn't greasy like everyone believed, but sleek like Harry's fur. He couldn't blame the man for keeping it sleek, it probably protected better against the potions. It was soft to the touch too.

'Focus Harry…nose is next.' He though as his nose twitched. From his spot in the room, he could smell the shampoo and body wash in the bathroom. He could smell the lavender they kept near Calix to keep the baby calm, the scent calming him down as well. Then there was Severus and Calix themselves. Severus smelled like potions, mostly like a few ingredients though. He knew a few. Dragon's blood was one of them, then there was monkshood. Calix smelled of baby powder, formula, and family. A scent that was saved for just winged cats.

"Harry?" The leopard's ears flicked at the potion's master's sleepy voice. He was glad his ears were working. The voice was so soft, probably to keep Calix asleep. Harry transformed, crawling back into the bed and into his mate's waiting arms. "What were you doing?"

"Just studying my animagus form. Did you know I have two gray spots on my shoulder blades?" Harry asked. Severus shook his head. It wasn't something that he focus on most of the time.

"I'm not usually flying above you." Severus pointed out. "And they might be really new too."

"Maybe." Harry pondered for a second. Were they new? Or did he just have no one noticing them? He was pulled out of his thoughts from a quiet mewling coming from the crib. He laughed as Severus sighed. The man got up and walked sleepily over to the crib, being attacked with a flying puff ball of fur and feathers. Severus staggered back a bit with Calix's weight before readjusting the small leopard cub and carrying him back over to the bed.

"Our son is awake." Harry purred in agreement with the statement, holding his hands out to take the baby.

"Our cute son." He cooed as Severus handed Calix over. The small kit mewled again, showing small milk teeth to his father. "I can see Calix, you seem very scary." The boy purred, his magic reeling back in as he transformed back. "His magic's very active."

Severus nodded as he laid back down next to Harry and Calix, glad for the chance to just stay in bed with his mate and son. It was rare now that they could do this, with the war being a large part in their lives and more raids keeping Severus busy while Harry stayed with Calix. "Better his magic then him right now."

"Yea." Harry cuddled their son close, the little boy grabbing at the blanket he was resting on. Harry knew that to him and Severus, it was just a blanket. But to Calix, it was something new and different. His eyes always filled with wonder whenever they showed him something new. And the blanket was different form the one they had the last time the little one was on the bed. His sea-green gaze traveled over the whole bed. Everyday it seemed to get smaller to the growing child. "I wonder what his first word'll be."

First word? But he could talk! His daddies just didn't listen. Meowing and mewling was talking wasn't it? Calix pouted.

"Probably something we say all the time." Harry paled at that.

"Keep him away from the twins. Knowing them…they'll try to get his first word to be something bad." Severus nodded in agreement. Keeping the twins away was priority number one… Or was, until Calix's stomach growled. The older two smiled at the baby.

"I knew you had a reason for waking up." Severus said, taking him from Harry and standing back up. "Guess we have to get out here sometime."

"We could always accio the bottle. Knowing mom it's already made." Harry suggested before sitting up. He knew Severus was right. They did have to get up sooner or later. And with Calix being hungry, it seemed that sooner was now.

"Look who finally joined the living!" Blaise joked as Harry and Severus walked into the large kitchen with Calix. "Thought you two had died or something. It's almost noon!"

"We just decided to take some time to ourselves for once." Harry said, setting Calix in the highchair next to Teddy's. The pup was already eating, a small plate of eggs, sausage, and ham in front of him. Severus worked on getting Calix's bottle as Harry started to cook more breakfast food. Turing on the oven and cracking a few eggs before starting on a few strips of bacon. "Has everyone else eaten?"

"Yea. You two and Calix are the last. Teddy woke up late too so 'Mione cooked him that." Blaise grinned. "She's brilliant with kids."

"Just don't get any ideas Zabini. She's my sister and if I find her pregnant before she's 20 I will kill you worse than I did Ginny." Harry was glad that he didn't have to threaten Neville as well. The boy at least had standards and knew that 17 was way to young for kids, for the most part anyway. Harry laughed inwardly at the irony of the situation. Threatening Blaise about kids when he had one himself.

"No worries there Potter. I don't want kids yet." Blaise told him. "Hey, Calix talking yet?"

"Nope. He still prefers to show rather then tell." Calix was a natural at using his magic to give people his memories. He couldn't quite grasp the thought that he could create false ones yet though, but the fact that he could still do it was fascinating to quite a few of them. None more so then Luna though. "Luna thinks he has seer blood in him."

"How does he do that anyway?" Blaise glanced to the boy in Severus' arms. Calix took the bottle, holding it in his own hands as well as his father's. "It's like he knows mind magic better than anyone."

"How does Tom visit my dreams and send me things? It's like a mind link. Mine is from being a horcrux, except me and Nagini haven't figured out how to talk like that yet, and Calix…well Luna thinks it's because he's so far advanced in his magic. How many 1 and a half year olds do you know that can transform willingly into their animagus forms? Hermione thinks it's from being a winged kit though, because we haven't found another yet and don't know if they're different from grown cats."

"Nothing in your life can ever be normal can it?" Blaise asked. "Not even adopted kids…hate to see what your biological kids'll be capable of." The Slytherin shook his head. "Anyway, after you two are done eating, Tom wants the both of you for a mission. Lily said she'll take Calix while you're out."

Harry nodded. It had been a while since he was able to go out for a mission. He had risen in the ranks to Tom's second-in-command, and being a horcrux as well meant that he was under more protection spells than even the children. Tom had he and Nagini under close watch when they went out, never sending them both to the same place either. Harry figured it was a good idea, and he always had Vipera with him as well. Her glare wasn't as killing as other basilisk's due to her diluted blood, but it would still paralyze and petrify.

They finished breakfast quickly, making sure Calix was done too before picking up the boy. Harry grabbed Teddy as well, keeping them close but far enough apart that Calix's wandering hands didn't find Teddy's ever changing hair. Harry smiled softly. It was a small reminder of Tonks, and a welcomed one. He missed the woman's sense of humor and how she would use her powers to calm everyone. Calix instead focused on the hallway that they were in. He recognized it well and knew they were going to go see Tom.

"I wonder what the mission is." Harry said, shifting Teddy to his other hip and bouncing his godson slightly. The boy giggled at the movement.

"Something important if he's sending both of us. Wouldn't be surprised if he sends the whole New War Group." The New War Group was what the Death Eaters were calling the younger ones, including Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, Luna, Neville, Blaise, Draco, Hermione, and Harry. The ones who weren't around during the old war. They were a dangerous group when put together, even more so apart though. They were an elite group lead by Harry and fairly skilled at everything.

"He would never send us all out unless it was a final battle." Harry argued. "He'll probably have Draco and Blaise come and that's it. The others are too predictable to the Light Side for something like this." He thought for a second about it. 'If he's bringing both of us…it's not a rescue mission. Can't be a huge battle either, or there would be more people around now. Maybe it's going to the states to get allies from there. He did say that we had to do that soon.'

"Harry. Severus." Tom greeted them as they walked into the room. Harry gave him a small smile before passing Teddy over to Remus, Fenrir taking Calix from Severus and bouncing him on his lap, gaining a laugh from the baby. "So, figured out what the mission is yet?"

"No." Harry pouted. "What is it?" Severus looked at Tom, the wild glint in the Dark Lord's eyes told more than what could be said.

"You found them, didn't you?" Severus asked.

"Of course."

"What? Found who?" Harry looked from his mate to Tom. "Found who?"

"You will be taking Lily and Luna with you. It'll be a few day's flight." Tom thought for a second. "Bring Calix as well. He may be able to help you."

Harry tensed. Bring Calix on a mission? "No! Not until you tell me who you found!" He snarled, being ignored once again.

"It's in the states, apparation's too risky and the floo network's being watched. Just get to the coast and I'll have a boat there to take you across most of the way, but you will have to fly." Tom handed Severus the coordinates for where he was sending them. Harry growled again before transforming, shocking everyone with the magic outburst. He stood snarling in front of Tom, his teeth gleaming in the low light of the room.

"Who. Did. You. Find." Harry growled out the words, sounding more like a feral meowing noise.

Tom looked calmly up at the winged cat, unfazed by the ferocious look. "An old friend of mine seems to have been holding out on me. I found her again, and she is just as you are. Another winged cat. One who can teach you more than anyone ever could."
