"Let's take this from the Top… We are here to see Justice Done. Fact One; Magic was cast at #4 Privet Dr." Bones pulled a folder from her pocket, dropping it on the table that was now there for her to drop her folder on. "This is a fact. It was registered and filed with the DMLE. Being a Muggle Zone, two Obliviators joined the Squad."
Bones opened her Folder, picked up a sheet of Parchment, copying it and passing it to the Scribe. "Four Aurors, two Obliviators, and a Trainee were dispatched. Other than a bit of frost-bite on the trees, nothing seemed out of place. The residents of #4 Privet Dr, one V. Dursuly, Muggle, and his wife, P. Dursuly nee Evens, a Squib, and their sprog, also a Squib, were not pleased to see seven Magus at the Door. The Squibs were showing signs of Dementor contact, and were treated with chocolate, and the whole evening suppressed with a [Confundus]. No one had seen Lord Potter that Summer." Turning the sheet over, "a Scan of the Neighborhood showed a high number of Kneazle half breeds, and the team was led to a House around the corner, where a Squib Beastmaster, a licenced class two breeder, was entertaining a Wizard friend. It was this Wizard that drove off two Dementors that were in the area hunting."
Another sheet, copied and entered into the record, "DMCR listed two Dementors seeking a target in the Surrey Area, Target was listed as; Classified, M-Prime." Bones scanned the sheet for a count of Five. "The Only Reason it was stamped, filed, and processed was that it was signed and witnessed by one Senior Undersecretary Deloris Umbridge!"
The Court went wild, as Deloris went pale.

Harry dreamed.
He was Hunting something.
Hunting from above…
Hunting from below…
… the Night Sky…
… a dark stone hallway…
He dropped from the Sky…
He struck from the Shadows…
...grasping his prey in his coils. The scent of her fear, her excitement… her heart beating as she struggled against him.
Harry exploded into an upright position.
Lizzy had returned earlier that night. She danced about the room, a diva… a fractured glass prima… all the while knowing that hungry eyes trailed her about the room. She thought it was just MG and a few wolves that were back early. She smiled at Jo as she cuddled with 'Frodo'. The one boy that would not hurt her sister…
She did not know that the 'boy' from England was watching her. He saw her for what she was… and knew that he was her complete opposite.
Someone else had arrived from Europe, just as the Night had gathered.
Hedwig shifted from her perch to the head of his bed... Bark!
"Hey Girl. Just a dream." he thumped his pillow, pulled the blanket over his shoulders, and snuggled down. "I should not have downed that potion Sirius gave me. It is giving me weird dreams."
(Stupid Chick. Of course, you should never drink anything [Death Dog] offers you.)
Harry nods, before bolting upright. "Hedwig! I can hear you!"
(Stupid Chick. Wand-wavers can not hear [Snowfall Death]!)
"Snowfall Death?" Harry turned his naked face to the owl, "I have heard worse things to call you."
The Bird froze in her 'self grooming', before locking eyes with the 'boy'. (One hears [Snowfall Death]?)
"Snowfall Death?" Harry frowned, as he repeated her 'name'. "Sounds cold. You are anything but cold, my beloved."
Harry cradled his owl in his arms, as he thought about the witches in his life.
[Flashback]
That night, after a quick trip to the Bathroom to rinse his mouth out… twice, before he could talk. "No. The sick-up is from the taste of that thing." Harry struggled to his feet. "Let's just say… I love magic!" He spit again. "I would just prefer that potions tasted better."
Padfoot sitting on the foot of the bed, perked up as Moony and the Pup returned to the room. " So… what did you get?"
"Nothing. Either the potion was tainted or expired."
Moony was standing behind the lad, shook his head but remained silent.
"Now either shift to Snuffles or get out, but I am going to bed."
[Flashback ends]
Lizzy in her shattered glory, a perfect sphere of burning ice. She could not see the pain of others through the flare of her own brilliance.
Hermione, the sister he was forced to leave behind London. She was supposed to join them in a few weeks, but …
And then there was Pansy. He was in talks with the Lord of House Parkinson.
The Goblins had rented him a mailbox. Hedwig had hissed at it, before he told her that she was in charge of the box. He would have her take the letter to the box, and then collect anything in the box. He had her show him that she knew how to use the box. She humored him and he fed her the last of his bacon twice.
Dobby found out the size of the School, and that he was the only Elf… he hugged the legs of His Wizard and then bolted off to find something to clean.

The weekend after they arrived, something attacked the school. Harry tried to fight it, but his wand was knocked from his hand. It flew to the left as he flew to the right. He rolled and used the throw to rise to his feet. Then the cuff on his wrist morphed.
A silver flanged diamond flew from his right wrist to strike the beast in the face. A thin, thread-like, chain tethered the flanged head to his wrist. The chain retracted, drawing the head closer to his hand. He then dropped the flanged head and watched as the size of the head and chain thickened. He failed at the beast as it charged him.
Standing between the monster and the Wolf Raf, Harry lowered his center of gravity. He tasted the air…
The creature was identified as a Shunka. It looked like a Hyena crossed with a grizzly bear. A beast that dined only on werewolves. As It was not a full moon, not for another week, only Raf was endangered.
Harry had skipped the school game of Football. He was sitting out in the woods trying to find his inner animal. While he thought that the potion was a dud, Moony had confessed that his scent had changed overnight, meaning that the potion had worked, it just was slowed by something in his blood.
Raf had found him sitting in a full lotus position, focusing inward. The teen turned wolf approached the human, curious about him as his scent had changed since he arrived.
When the Shunka had announced its presence, Harry had rolled to his feet, with his wand in hand. His new wand. When he was caught by a backhand and thrown into the air.
The Shunka tried to tackle Harry to get at the Wolf behind him. Only when it made contact, it was not a human it hit but a cobra the size of an Anaconda. Harry buried his fangs into the Shunka's neck as his coils looped about the fire legs and chest of the bear-like beast.
From the direction of the school, a golden Auburn teen ran into the clearing. She looked about seeing a snake, three times her height long, crushing the creature she was seeking to kill and the Wolf she was looking for watching everything. Seeing as the snake was busy as was the Shunka… The girl instead focused on the black wolf.
The Wolf howled as his black fur retracted and a naked teen knelt at her feet.
She turned to look at the Shunka and the snake, but saw a Black haired boy with green eyes and a scar over his right brow. He shucked his cloak, passing it to the naked boy.
Raf flashed him a smile as he wrapped it about his muscled waist.
Harry prodded the corpse with his toe, "What do we do about this thing?
Raf, standing at his side, snorted. "Given time it will either turn to slime and enrich the soil or dry out to ash and blow away."
"Cool." Harry smiled. He turned to look at the witch… and stuck his tongue out at her.
"Rude!" She snarked sniffing at him.
"My nose is only sensitive as my human nose normally is, but tasting the air about us… " Harry grinned at her, "Finding my snake form allows me to taste the air like you and your wolf nose." He made a funny face as he tried to work the taste of the Shunka from his mouth. "So… one question. Why do you taste like mud and Landon? "

Landon and Jo were returning to the School house, after winning the game, arm in arm. Then they both spotted the new kid, Potter talking with the starting QB from the Wolves team. Then Raf was behind them, having just changed into a set of sweats.
The strange girl stiffened at the sight of Landon and Jo. Potter shook his head, and looping his arm through hers, drug her up to the two. "We need to talk."
The five of them, Jo, Hope, Landon, and Raf ended up in the library.
Harry pulled his wand from sleeve, and twirling it in the air [Muffliato] and all sound dropped away. "Okay, I found something out today. Among my people, there are those who adjust memories of the People. It turns out Malavore does something similar. This Hope. She threw herself into Malavore after Landon died in the room with the pit. It seems that Hope is not to Malavore's taste. There is a reason these two were hunting Malavore. They were dating at the time."
Jo squeaked.
"Jo. Forgive me. But these last few weeks here, I noticed that your scent flares whenever certain people pass through your line of sight. You flash lust when six people cross your path two I noticed were Landon and Hope here. I caught it when three other witches sauntered by. And only two of the jocks." Harry reached out and lifted the girl's chin. "You like girls as well as boys, correct?"
Jo struggled for a second before steeling herself. "Yes."
Harry nodded as he looked at Hope. "I do Believe that you are not tied up with the morality of sexes. You like them for who they are, not what they were born as. Considering that Bird-boy here has no combat skills other than his fire trick, he still is half a step behind Hope when is charging into the fray, And only because he takes his cues from her. Jo needs a power source for her magic to blossom. So a triad would be best for you three. Jo needs someone to care for. Hope needs someone to fight for, and to nurse her back to health. Landon just needs to see two sexy girls kiss while he holds them in his arms. Talk it over, while I take the Alpha for a walk."
" What gives you the Right to…"
"It has to do with your Pack." Harry led the muscle bound teen towards the gym. "They do not recognize me as an Alpha because I am not a wolf. But my Uncle is, and a member of my Pack. You either bring your pups into line, or they will get hurt."
" And you think that They will just roll over and play dead? "
" No. But you saw what I did to that wolf eater." Harry shifted his eyes to a snake's eyes. "What happens when one of them tries to challenge me? What about when they try to force me to submit to their Pack. Jed is holding them in place, but until something happens with you, one way or another, he is only your Beta. And the only reason He is in that position is because no one else is willing to challenge him."
" You are not a wolf, but yet you hold the rank of Alpha." The black youth looked at the younger boy. "How is that possible?"
"It has to do with several things coming to a head. One, our Werewolf is not like you and your pack. You guys are descendants of the First Alpha and a killing triggers your first change. My Uncle was infected by a Lycan Arcanum. If you bite a normal, they have a nasty dog bite. If he bites a normal, he can infect them. Your curse, for a simple term, prepared your body from birth. His curse brought the change during the full moon after he was bitten. His curse will cause him to attack any humans in the area. Now my Father and Godfather are Animagus. A black dog and a stag. As long as they were in these forms, they could run with Moony. And he was at peace. Then My Father was killed. Padfoot was sent to jail for their murder. And I was stolen away. Moony lost his Pack in one night. When Padfoot escaped Jail to try to save me from a murdering wizard, Moony was brought in to protect me from my Godfather. As I welcomed my Uncles back into my life, Black was in no condition to be an Alpha and Lupin needed an Alpha for his mental health. When I was preparing for my journey to this side of the Pond, Moony accepted me as his Alpha."
As they entered the gym the Pack had their dander up. They were circling around Jed and a redhead male.
"Just chill before I cool you!" Jed sneered.
"And what are you doing about that stray?" The redhead snapped back.
"We are doing Nothing about Mr. Lupin!" Raf barked out. Instantly the Pack spun to see who spoke, before they took a knee, their heads bowed. Onle Jed and the Redhead remained standing, but both were quaking in the knees. "Stay standing." Raf moved among the kneeling members of the Pack, touching their heads. "Everyone kneeling, to the sidelines."
The kneeling Wolves scrambled to the sidelines where they stood in their positions according to their rank in the pack. Only Jed, the Redhead and Raf stood in the center of the Gym.
" The stray as you called him, is not a stray. He has a Pack. His Shift is different then ours. He is here to teach the Witches his craft, and teach us how to form a deeper bond with the Wolf. He is passing through our territory." Raf stepped forward to get in the Face of the redhead. "He is not a stray, he has a Pack. And challenge that Pack at your own risk. Harry is the Pack's Alpha. You don't want to have to face him."
Harry stepped forward. "Yes, I am not a Wolf. I inherited my position from my Father. Of My group of Wizards, one of our highest art form is to embrace our inner animal. Raf, make sure no one panics and no one attacks me." Harry jumps into the air…
… and lands as a twenty foot snake. He rared up and flared his hood.
The Redhead scrambled to the rest of the pack.
Jed took a step back.
Raf just looked the snake in the eye. He offered his hand. The snake flickered his tongue at the hand and then collapsing his hood, rubbed the scaly head along the palm. He then laid himself along the Alphas arm and climbed to the shoulder. Once he was completely off the floor, he rolled to the side and landed on his feet.
"Now. Everyone who needs to change their shorts, we will meet you in the dining hall in 45." Raf called out. As one the, Pack turned and exited the gym.
Everyone but Jed.
"You good?" Raf clapped his second in command on the shoulder.
Jed shook his head to clear it, "Ahh… you said something about changing shorts?"
"Yeah." Raf smiled at the former Alpha. "give me a minute and I'll join ya." He turned to look at Harry, who smiled.
"Go. I have a couple of witches to track down." He crouched, spreading his arms and jumped into the air and shifted into a Great Horned Owl and quickly winged out of the gym and towards the Library.
"Tell me… " Raf looked at his Beta. "Is that normal?"
Jed shook his head, before turning to look after the owl. "No, but all three are weird. The Wolf is the normal one of all four."
"Four?"
"Yeah" Jed clapped Raf''s shoulder. "The three guys arrived in mid July. The Witch arrived the first week of August. The New Headmaster plays fetch with the younger years."
"So he throws a ball and they go get it?" Raf frowned.
" No, they throw the ball, and he fetches. When I first saw him, I thought he was you. But once you get past the Big Black Canine, you can tell he is no Wolf. One of the Pups tried to dominate him, and he just pinned the kid down and washed his face." As they climbed the back stairs to their floor, " If you know that the dog is around, distract Harry. Their games are hilarious. The big black dog trying to sneak up and pounce on the boy is a hoot."
Then Jed frowned. "Always save a big bite of bacon from breakfast. The white Owl loves bacon. A tidbit now and again, and she will do little favors for you. Like deliver notes or dive bomb the Jocks of the Timberwolves. Both fly by and full bomb."
"You mean for a bit of bacon, she will shit on a target of my choice?"
"Unless they have bribed her not to bomb them." They turned onto their floor. "Last Full Moon, the Wolves were allowed to run, with Black and Lupin there to watch us. Black had brought a dozen rabbits and released them in the woods at lunch. When the sun went down, we went hunting."
