An awkward moment later he held his hand out to her.

" Time for those people I mentioned...remember what I said about getting me run out...I'll take it out on your ass."

Diana nodded her humor effectively gone. When she took his hand she suddenly had a strange sense of not being there. Her head was whirling when her feet touched the ground and she blinked surprised to see a door in front of her.

Fenrir knocked angrily and the door opened. He strode in and paused to glare at the people inside. A large man who had been reading what appeared to be a letter looked up and held up a quizzing glass. He frowned and gained his feet.

Diana glanced around at the other people in the room and was surprised to see three white faced children in some kind of formal robe huddled close to the fire place. They looked relieved to see her. A tall severe looking woman stood next to them. Three grim looking men stood around the room and in a chair next to her a squat dapper looking man had paused in the act of sipping tea.

Fenrir glared at the were-tiger who was taking Diana's hand and patting it.

" Nice howler Angus. You gonna put me in time out too? " Fenrir asked sarcastically.

" Straight to Askaban would be perfect!" Angus snapped at him. He turned to Diana " My dear, I'm so sorry you've been brought into this mess! Please be assured we will do whatever we need to in order to get you home safe and sound! Would you like some tea?"

Diana nodded gratefully. Finally someone who sounded willing and able to help her. She snuck a glance at Fenrir who had adopted a bored look and was studying his clawed hand. Angus led her to a chair and set her down. A cup of tea floated to the table next to her and settled down. She seized it eagerly. The large man sat back in the chair he had occupied and leaned forward. He had, she saw with amazement, yellow eyes.

" Diana My name is Angus. I'm the speaker for the town of Low Hollow which is where you are in case you havn't been told. The man sitting in the chair is John Syntonet Claire, he's one of our ministers of magic. These three children are from a rather prestigious school called Hogwarts. That's Charlie Den, Al Potter, and the lovely girl hiding behind them is Rose Weasley. This is their teacher Professor Abba. They are the reason you're here."

Diana glanced at the children surprised. they were giving her sheepish looks. Angus held a hand out prepared to introduce the Aurers but Fenrir interrupted him.

" Can we get on with this? "

" What's your rush? " One of the Aurers said glaring at Fenrir. He had been on the werewolf capture team for several years and it disgusted him to have to stand in the same room with a man as savage and low as Fenrir. They had caught him several times and almost every time he had escaped usually taking a life or two with him.

Fenrir leaned back against the large table next to him and met the Aurors angry gaze. " Full moon tonight. As I'm sure you remember...you don't want to be in the same room as me. Course looks like you came prepared.." This was said with a sneer in the direction of the children and produced instant uproar.

The kids gasped shocked. The professor stepped in front of them pulling out her wand. Angus and Aurors reacted with outrage while the minister stared at Fenrir truly amazed he would so casually refer to his crimes.

Fenrir stepped back pulling his own wand out. He hoped they would attack him. It would give him an excuse to kill someone. Angus however had not gotten to his present position through foolishness. The only reason Fenrir would try to cause such a reaction was to get exactly what he wanted.

" Enough!" He snapped before the Aurors could react against the werewolf. He took a deep breath and his eyes fell on Diana who sat looking scared at the sudden almost violet reaction around her.

Deciding that the more information the better Angus grimly explained " Forgive us my dear but Fenrir here is known killer of innocent children. He's been known to forcefully turn young children into werewolves against their will and though I have no proof the ministry and the Aurors have told me he is also known to indulge in cannibalism whether it's a full moon or not."

Diana felt the blood drain from her face and her eyes flew up to where Fenrir was standing. His blue eyes were cool with amusement and his lips had stretched up into a mocking grin that did little more than expose his deadly teeth.

" Is..is that true?" She asked hoping that they were wrong. To her dismay Fenrir raised his brows and nodded his head.

" I'll do anything to make my pack bigger. Children...much easier to train them when their young to hate the very people you see around you." His grin twisted into a snarl " Since they will also tell you I and my kind have no right to live. Rather uppity of them don't you think? "

" You're not a race you're a virus!" One of the Aurer snapped angrily. Fenrir turned towards him anger briefly taking control.

" We have every right to indulge in our nature and live as we wish! If we weren't meant to be we wouldn't be here! We're a natural part of you're world!"

" You're a damn Abomination! Brought about by evil spells! That's nothing to be proud of ! How can you stand being what you are?!"

Before the two could cast spells their wands were knocked out of their hands.

" Enough! We are not here to debate shape shifters! We have a very frightened muggle here and this is not helping and it's wasting time." Angus roared. He glared briefly at the Aurors. " If you wish to pursue Fenrir to place him back in prison you must go through the town council as per our agreement with the ministry. The shape shifters have a right to decide another's fate."

Fenrir smugly called his wand back to him. Angus didn't know it but he had enough pack members to skew any decision the council made.

The minister spoke up softly " Fenrir has been a wanted man for a long time Angus since before this town was given over to your people."

"..and now you must abide by the treaties you made." Angus said sitting down. He sighed and picked up his glass unhappily. There were shifters who would defend Fenrir not because they cared about him but simply because he was shifter. Allowing magic folk to come in and simply arrest him without going with the council would cause an uproar. Peace was so fragile here. He was loathe to risk it if he could avoid it.

" Now. please tell me what happened. Why is she here? "

Charlie flushed and stepped forward towards the were tiger. he had never seen a were-tiger and all kinds of questions where bubbling up but he tamped them down. Trying not to embellish he explained that he had been looking for his father. That he felt the ministry had given up. He produced the paper with the spell on it and handed it to Angus who had looked grimmer and grimmer the longer he spoke.

Angus glanced at Fenrir who pitched in his part in all of it making sure to stress he gave Charlie all the information he had while also omitting his attempt to nab the three children. When he was done Angus had leaned forward rubbing his head.

" This is grave...grave indeed..."

" I would like to say Hogwarts is willing to help however we can and we are even now looking for answers...in the meant time we offer up sanctuary for this muggle where she can be safe..."

" No!" Everyone turned startled to Fenrir. He angrily pointed at the them to emphasis his point.

" I've been bonded against my wish or knowledge! How do I know it isn't a trap to avoid the council? You just admitted this woman might be used against me and you expect me to let her out of my sight? No way!"

" I'm sure the children weren't engaging in..."

" The damn school could of sent them!" Fenrir sneered " You and the ministry could have known all along! Hell! She might even have agreed to it!" This was directed at Diana who had huddled in the chair horrified with what was being implied.

" Perhaps if Hogwarts could allow Fenrir to..."

" No!"
"Absolutely not!"
" Are you mad?!" The chorus cut off the minister before he could finish.

" I and my colleagues will NEVER allow Fenrir to have access to our students!" Professor Abba declared.

Angus who had been studying the paper looking for anything that might indicate a way out of the spell looked up at the minister.

" I'm afraid I have to agree with Fenrir on with this. The muggle should stay here as a good gesture to ensure she isn't being used as a weapon against Fenrir. Not to mention separating them by force might cause her harm."

Fenrir started to angrily point out it might cause him harm but he bit back his retort. Let the great pussy cat stand up for his cause. It would save Fenrir the headache.

" My dear, I can make you welcome," Angus said meeting Diana's eyes " If you'll permit me you can stay here under my protection..."

" Not going to happen!" Fenrir snarled. He was starting to look more bestial as anger coursed through him.

" You don't expect us to entrust her to you? " One of the Aurors asked incredulously.

" She's been with me for two days now and as you can see she isn't harmed!" Fenrir snapped. Pinpoints of red had appeared in the center of his eyes " She'll be perfectly safe with me since it's in my own best interest to make sure she is! If you keep her here I promise you I'll come looking for her because i won't be able to help it and there will be blood shed!"

" I'll stay with Fenrir!" Diana said jumping up. She had seen what was happening to him was afraid that he would convert into a monster right there and start ripping people apart. Sure they had magic but they had also as good as admitted that they couldn't touch the werewolf. Even a drop of blood spilled was too much if she could prevent it. She walked over to him and stood near him eyes to the ground.

Fenrir reached out and placed his clawed hand on her shoulder pulling her back until she was snuggled up against his side while he glared at them daring them to challenge him.

Angus sighed and stood up. " I believe this conversation is over. Please find a way to undo what's been done as soon as possible. My dear if you need anything...allow me to give you this..."

A quill appeared in the air in front of her. " This quill needs no ink. It will call up parchment wherever you're at and no spell will prevent you from using it to contact me."

" Thank you." Diana said taking the quill with awe. It disappeared but she could feel it pressing up comfortably against her hand.

Fenrir flushed angrily. Professor Abba stepped forward catching his attention.

" Will you perform the unbreakable vow to keep this woman safe? "

" No." Fenrir said curtly. " You've already hogtied me against my will you aren't getting a chance to do more."

Professor Abba's lips thinned out angrily " Then will you at least assure us you won't in any way make the bond stronger? That she will remain...uh...unmolested? "

Fenrir was confused and then he realized what he was being asked and his smile looked truly evil. " Why Professor! You're acting like this woman wouldn't be interested in a bit of fun with me! what's the matter? Don't you think my handsome charming self could be resisted? "

" I think all we need to worry about is your self control Fenrir which in the past has not served you that well. The full moon rises again tonight for the last time this month. Thankfully a double hunter's moon is only once every seven years. We don't want to see her harmed."

" I won't eat her unless she asks me too. That's the best you're going to get." Fenrir purred he dropped a wink which immediately caused outrage again. The kids looked confused but Abba's face had gone so red she truly looked for a moment like she would explode. Angus glared at Fenrir.

" That's enough of that kind of talk in front of these children! I think we're all going to have to make do with things as they are but I want the ministry to stay in touch with your progress."

He had just finished speaking when Fenrir took off taking Diana with him in a cloud of black smoke.
