Gringotts

It was approaching 1000 when Katie and Harry walked into the bank to meet with Rockclaw and Lady Greengrass. The young couple were shown directly to Rockclaw's office and they discussed some minor Potter House business and investments while they waited for Lady Greengrass and her daughters.

At 1000 Lady Greengrass was shown into the office by Griphook and she was accompanied by her daughters Daphne and Astoria.

"Greetings Lord and Lady Potter. Manager Rockclaw, may your accounts every grow while your opponents fail," greeted Kynthia Greengrass.

"Welcome Lady Greengrass, Heiress Greengrass, and Ms. Greengrass," replied Katie and Harry.

"Lady Greengrass, may your enemies tremble in your presence," replied Rockclaw. With the introductions finished Rockclaw motioned the Greengrass to the open seats.

Harry waited until Lady Greengrass and her daughters were seated before sitting and beginning the discussion.

"Lady Greengrass, my wife and I know that you are the true Head of House Greengrass and that your husband only caries the name by marriage." Kynthia nodded to this. "We have verified that the gift discussed would heal your daughter and end the malediction within her," stated Harry.

"What would have to happen for this to occur?" inquired Kynthia, fighting to remain composed when hearing that there was a way to heal her little Aster.

"Miss Greengrass would have to accept the gift and this would heal only her. To remove the malediction from the Greengrass family, then she must become part of the Potter family," answered Harry. "The gift is partially family magic. So a family connection must be made to lift the full curse."

"Also, Miss Greengrass must be understanding what the gift means and willing to accept the gift and all the changes and challenges it will bring," continued Katie.

Kynthia looked at and studied the young couple before her and wondered what they were not telling her and her daughters. She could not detect any hostilities or lies in what they were saying and actions. "What are you not telling us about this gift?" inquired Kynthia.

Harry and Katie exchanges looks. [How much do we say?] asked Harry.

[Only the truth and the minimum for now,] answered Katie.

"Lady Greengrass, the gift that my wife and I offer will forever change Miss Greengrass," stated Harry. "She will become part of something new and wonderful. As the gift works its way through her it will heal her and remove any presence of the malediction, from her. There will be a cost as she will most likely be shunned and ridiculed if her/our true nature was ever to become known. This is why she would join part of our larger family."

"To let you know any more will require oaths from each of you," added Katie.

Kynthia looked at her daughters and saw the hope in Astoria's eyes and a similar look in Daphne that her little sister could be healthy.

"Before we go any further in this. I would like to know if there are any contracts currently in existence?" asked Harry.

Daphne and Kynthia quickly exchanged looks, as they knew Matthew Greengrass was working on a contract with Lucius Malfoy. Harry and Katie picked up on the look and knew that some form of contract existed.

"Lord Potter, currently there is no contract for either of my daughters," stated Kynthia. "Lord Malfoy is in talks with my husband for a contract between his son Draco and Daphne."

Harry and Katie saw the look of disgust flash across Daphne's face, along with her mother and sister, with the mentioning of the contract.

Harry nods hearing about the pending contract. "I do not mean to pry, but do you know what the status is on the contract?" asked Harry. [If it is early in negotiations, then we may be able to activate the line continuation contract if we can finish ours first, and pass the gift to Astoria.]

[That is why you asked,] answered Katie, know understanding. [This thought comes from Luna's comment about being able to save two sisters.] Harry nods to that.

"What are you two talking about?" asks Daphne, catching the facial changes and body language of Harry and Katie as they talk. The two bonded blush, at being caught.

"Sorry. It is part of our bond that allows us to talk privately," answered Katie. Daphne now stares gapping at her school mates, as she quickly processes what was said into they are magically married.

Seeing the shock on her daughters face, Kynthia takes in the look of Daphne and determines that they will make the oath and learn the rest of the story.

"Lord Potter we will make the oath, as I suspect that what we will learn could help save and protect my House and family from predation. I do not trust that Lord Malfoy and my husband's negotiations are doing what is best for House Greengrass, but for themselves," stated Kynthia, both Potters nod in understanding.

The oaths were given and accepted. Harry and Katie then proceeded to inform Kynthia that the gift would cause Astoria to become part of something new, part of the Lycan pack, and that Harry and Katie were the Alpha pair, and how that all came to be.

"I will become a dark creature?" yelled Astoria, understanding lycanthropy is a werewolf.

"Miss Greengrass, how many werewolves do you know that can change form without a full moon?" asked Harry as he assumed his wolf form. "That is one of our forms, and we are not dark creatures," said Katie as Harry returned to his human form. The three Greengrass ladies look at the two Alphas with astonishment at seeing someone with a form of lycanthropy change without a full moon.

"How are you able to do that?" inquired Kynthia.

"It is part of who we are and know that we are not driven by the full moon or the blood lust," answered Harry. "The moon does affect us in other ways. Another difference is that we never loose control to the beast when changed. We are Lycan, never confuse us with werewolves."

"What would happen if Astoria or one of you bit us during the full moon?" asked Daphne, getting over her surprise.

"It would only be like a large dog bite," answered Katie. "We cannot transmit the gift, as we call it, as an infected/cursed bite. The person that we are biting has to have been offered the gift and willing accept the gift for us to pass on the change when we bite them, it is part of the magic that changed us. Our bite is only dangerous to one group of people, werewolves, in any form."

"But how is a Lycan not classified as a dark creature?" asked Kynthia.

"If you were to cast any of the spells used to identify a dark creature on either of us the spell result would be normal," answered Harry. "We are a light/grey being, really more grey. Part of the powers used to change the lycanthropy disease/curse into what it is to be Lycan gives us the ability to destroy dark creatures such as: lethifold, Dementors, werewolves and others."

"Where does this power come from?" inquired Kynthia, trying to understand what her youngest would become.

"When we were changed the two of us met six goddesses, who explained what happened to us," replied Katie. "They were Mórrigan, Bastet, Freyja, Hecate, Diwija, and Selene. Since then we have been receiving training from a Medjay, a follower of Bastet and Sekhmet, in how to combat these entities."

"My little Astoria would become part of a new species, and possibly join the House of Potter," started Kynthia, in summary, "In doing so, she would be cured from the malediction and the curse lifted from the Greengrass family, only if she joins the Potter family." She received head nods from Harry and Katie as she moved through her summary. "What becomes of House Greengrass? With Daphne being contracted to Draco Malfoy there will be no one to carry on the name of Greengrass."

"What we are about to say cannot be repeated, as we are not completely sure it would happen," began Harry. "There is an very old alliance, that was lost to recent memory. House Potter was the centre of this alliance and the founders of the alliance had made perpetual line continuation contract to ensure the survival of the alliance and its houses. House Greengrass is part of this alliance."

"House Greengrass is not part of the Great Alliance," commented Kynthia, knowing only of this alliance.

"You are correct. The alliance I am talking about is about 300 years + older and included several grey houses and many light-grey houses from the past and is older than the Great Alliance formed by my great-grandfather and grandfather," replied Harry. "If a house with only a single female heir left and there is a house in the alliance with an appropriate age married male, then the renewing line continuation contract will activate."

Surprise flashed across Kynthia's face as she realized what was being said. "How do you know of this alliance and who was included?" asked Kynthia, suspecting the answer.

"The houses in the old Potter Alliance include; Potter, Bones, Lovegood, Abbott, Greengrass, Davis, Fawcett, Mina, Podmore, Fleamont, and Shafiq," answer Harry. "Since Katie and I formed our bond two other line continuation contracts have become active from this old alliance. In these line continuation contracts the male party only carries the title Lord 'House', and has no ability or power to control the business of the house unless given by the true power and Lady of the house."

Kynthia and Daphne both gasped at hearing who was in this alliance and what the contracts permitted. If this contracted was to activate before her husband and Lucius Malfoy completed negotiations on their contract, House Greengrass would be protected and her daughters would not be sold off to the highest bidder, as Matthew wants.

"It could be possible for Daphne and Astoria to both be married to you?" inquired Kynthia.

"Yes. One part of House Potter and the other as Lady Greengrass of the Ancient and Noble House Greengrass," responded Harry. "We have looked and currently there are no other eligible males in the old alliance families. There are males in some of the other families, but they are too young or old to meet the requirements. The goblins and our solicitor are still looking into the age range that currently triggers the contract. We think it has to do with attendance at Hogwarts or a equal school."

"Mother please work to arrange this? I have no wish to be tied to the pompous arse Malfoy," stated Daphne. Seeing the distressed look in her eldest daughter's face, Kynthia nodded.

"Astoria, what are your feelings and thoughts on this?" asked Kynthia.

"I am scared of being called a creature, but I want free of this sickness and I want to see Daphne happy," replied Astoria. Kynthia nodded to her two daughters statements.

"What are your feelings towards Lord Potter?" questioned Kynthia. Both girls looked at the young Lord across from them.

"Astoria has a crush on the boy-who-lived," stated Daphne, teasingly.

"I do not," retorted Astoria, turning beet red in the face and down into her chest. All chuckled at Astoria's discomfort at being called out.

"Lord Potter is quiet and I do not know him well," started Daphne. "I know he does not like those of us in Slytherin, and that he is picked on viciously by Professor Snape and Draco Malfoy."

"I do not dislike Slytherins, as a whole. I do not like Draco," stated Harry. "The sorting hat wanted to place me in Slytherin, I asked for any other house. I had no interest in being in a house with Draco." Daphne quickly looked Harry in the eye and saw no deceit with some surprise in her own eyes at hearing this.

"Daphne, why do you feel Lord Potter does not like people in Slytherin?" asked Kynthia.

"Anytime Tracey or I have tried to approach, we are verbally attacked by Ronald Weasley, being told that Harry does not associate with slimy snakes," replied Daphne.

"I have never said that," replied Harry. "When did or has this occurred?"

"When we tried to talk with you in the Great Hall and on the express," responded Daphne.

"I know Harry does not like several members of your house, based on their actions and attitudes,"commented Katie. "But I have never heard Harry blatantly say he dislikes Slytherin's."

[Another reason to distant and evaluated Ron's friendship,] answered Harry.

[Yes, but why?] asked Katie.

"Aside from today, I know Lord Potter appeared to not know anything about being a head of house, about his family or of our traditions," added Daphne.

"You are right. I did not know anything about my family and what it meant to be part of House Potter, until this summer," responded Harry. "Until I started at Hogwarts I was told that my parents were drunks, mum a whore, and they were killed in a car crash, by my magic hating mundane relatives." All three Greengrass's facial expression went from surprise to anger and back to calm at hearing how Harry was raised and lied to.

The meeting between Harry, Katie and Lady Greengrass and her daughters lasted another half hour or so before the broke for the day with plans to review the proposed marriage contract and the gift for Astoria. Harry and Katie also explained how they would pass on the gift to Astoria.

Blackmoore Manor

Harry, Katie and Bella were meeting with Lord Black and Sirius. Bella had thought over what Katie and Harry were offering her and the new protective status she would have with all records showing the death of Bellatrix Lyra Black. When she asked how she would look, they could not tell her as they did not know how her looks would change. Bella had come to a decision and asked for this meeting with Lord Black and her new small family, to let them know of her decision.

"Lord Black, thank you..." started Bella, before getting cut off.

"Here today we are family. Please Grandfather or Great-uncle," stated Arcturus, all present nodded to his statement/request.

"Grandfather, thank you for breaking the marriage contract and for considering and allowing me to evaluate Lord Potter's gift offered," stated Bella. "I have spent the last few days going over what I have learned and reflecting on the memories of Bellatrix and what we have done over the past ten+ years. Also I have thought about my lost child and how it may have contributed to my fate."

Arcturus, Sirius, Katie and Harry nodded to what Bella was telling them and non were judging her and she could see this in their faces.

"I want to be whole again, have children and be able to live a life of my choosing," continued Bella. "I know that I have my freedom back from the voided contract, but my life has been ruined by that same contract and what those bastards did to me. I..." Bella trails off, as she tries to put her final thoughts into words.

"Bella, if you accept the gift we are offering it will heal you and give you back some of your life," stated Katie. "Do not focus on the title or your status. We will never force you to do anything against your will. You will become part of our family and will be allowed to pursue what your passion wants."

Hearing and seeing the look in Katie's and Harry's faces, relieved Bella. As she looked at the bonded, she got lost in their eyes and finally could feel the caring and sincerity that they had for her well being. This allowed her to make her decision and to accept the offer.

"Grandfather, I accept the gift, the status, and protection that Lord and Lady Potter are offering," proclaimed Bella.

Arcturus could not be prouder of his great-niece, as she showed that missing determination of her youth and the resolve to become something greater that she was.

"Bella, I am proud of you and support your decision," responded Arcturus. "Lord Potter, what will be Bella's status?"

"Katie and I have talked long over this and we have decided that Bella will be wife consort to Lady Potter," replied Harry. "This will give her the protection and freedom she needs or wants and we have resolved that it is a better title than Potter Concubine. Concubine infers that Bella is a slave to me/us and that is not what she is, but at the same time she is not my second wife as a consort would imply."

"Harry, I think Katie and your decision on what Bella will be would make both James and Lily proud of you," remarked Sirius.

"Bella with the approaching new moon, Katie and I will offer you the gift again and we will bring you into the family on the 18th." stated Harry. "Now lets all visit as family and enjoy ourselves."

Potter Farms

Katie and Harry had dinner at the farm with Bella and all three enjoyed the company during dinner. Bella was anxious about what would happen later. While Katie and Harry worked to keep Bella thoughts off of the pending discussion and happenings of later. The three discussed the difference in what Hogwarts classes and professors were like and how the classes offered have changed. Katie and Harry were disappointed to learn that Bella had a much larger selection of electives to choose from than they had at the start of third year. Learning this Bella offered to tutor them in the electives she took that are no longer offered at school.

Soon dinner was finished and the three of them moved to the sitting area in the garden to discuss the events for the evening.

"Bella, what questions do you have for us?" asked Katie.

"How painful was your transformation, and do you have any regrets accepting this?" asked Bella.

"The transformation at the full moon was uncomfortable," replied Harry, with Katie nodding.

"I have no regrets accepting the gift I was given," answered Katie. "I was happy to be alive, retained my maidenhead and found my mate."

"Maiden?" inquired Bella.

"I was a virgin that night, and Greyback started to try and rape me, to make me his bitch, during the attack," replied Katie, her voice quiet with anger and steel edge layering it. Harry moved and wrapped his arms around his wife as she discussed the events with Bella. "Harry attacked him before he could complete his task and Greyback did not get another chance." Bella could see that fire in both sets of eyes looking at her. She could see that there was painful retribution in store for Greyback if they ever meet up again.

"The same for me, in that I have no regrets in accepting the gift. My concern that night was for Katie and getting her back to her parents," added Harry.

Bella was quiet for awhile as she reflected over the new information she had learned and what she had observed in the young couple before her. She was scared some what over the prejudice there are for non pure-bloods, and she was going to loose that status and will most likely be seen as a creature and no longer a witch. But at the same time she will be more free than she has been since her early years at Hogwarts. She will become part of something better and allowed to pursue her interests and passions.

"I am ready," responded Bella, as she came to a decision on what she wanted. Katie and Harry looked at Bella and nodded their heads in understanding.

"Bellatrix Lyra Black, of your own free will, do you accept the gift we offer to join us as Lycan and recognise Katie and myself as your Alpha's?" asked Harry.

"Lord Potter, I willing accept the gift I am offered," replied Bella.

"Let us move to more appropriate accommodations set up for us by the elves," stated Katie. The three moved across the garden to the sleeping area set up in a more private corner of the gardens. Entering the area Bella, Katie, and Harry saw the large bed sitting out under the open sky with sheer curtains hanging off of the cross beams obscuring clear view of the bed.

All three slowly move towards the bed, with each hesitant in loosing their clothes, as they move. Katie slightly afraid of being out done by an older women, while Bella was unsettled of being seen in her semi-emaciated body, and being hairless. Harry was embarrassed by the still new experience of seeing them naked and being starkers at the same time.

"Bella tonight we will in still the gift we have to offer, and as part of freeing you, you must embody our essence," stated Katie. Listening to Katie and looking at their surroundings, Bella understood what was to happen tonight. It had been along time since she has been amorous with anyone. The forced participation by her ex and his brother did not count. She gladly moved towards the bed taking the hand of her soon to be mistress, and leading her there. The two Lycans pheromones had been floating about since before dinner, but now with out hindrance their presence was more pronounce and the affects on Bella were quickly becoming apparent.

The two witches moved to the centre of the bed. Both a little awkward in their movements. For Bella it has been many years since she has been with another witch, and for Katie she had only explored a little with Angelina and Alicia at school. Katie was also afraid Harry would be offended if she enjoyed this.

Bella pulled/pushed Katie down onto the bed with her and the two slowly started to investigate the other. They shared some tentative kisses, and each explored the lips, and jaw line of the other. As they learned the likes and dislikes of the other, hands started to explore on their own. While her hand where exploring Bella, Katie parted her legs some to allow more of her pheromones and scent out. She looked at the face of Bella at time and saw the desire rising in the older witches eyes. Leaving Katie's lips, Bella trailed kisses down to her breasts and erect nipples. Bella quickly latched onto Katie's right nipple and suckled on the erect nub, inhaling the aroma and scents of her mistress, she was surprised when she felt something squirt into her mouth from her efforts, she quickly swallowed the gift. The aromas and pheromones from below were affecting Bella, along with those from Harry and the desire to follow her Alpha's. Bella quickly moved to the left nipple and after some suckling and attention to the nipple she was again given a small gift for her efforts.

Unknown to both witches these small gifts Bella received with both magical and pheromones essence. They were to help increase Bella's desire, readiness and needs. Bella moved more quickly down Katie's smooth abdomen, teasing her naval and the strip of sensitive skin running down from there to the top of her Mons and cleft. Katie moved further up the bed and opened her legs as Bella movement stopped. Bella followed Katie's movement and help her mistress open her legs and moved in between them and lost herself in the centre of her mistress. The aroma and taste of the juices flowing from Katie spurred Bella on as did the small whimpers and moans coming from the young witch.

As Bella was pleasuring her mistress Harry moved onto the bed and slowly moved up to and under Bella. So lost in her efforts, she gave a squeak of surprise when Harry licked and kissed her left breast and nipple. Harry quickly latched onto her nipple and Bella let out a loud moan of pleasure, as she tried to focus on her task. They continued in their ministrations for some time with Katie moving closer to her release, and Bella fighting to maintain focus on what she was doing from the pleasure Harry was giving her, as he had moved from her breasts to her exposed opening of her core and pleasure nub. Harry continued to tease Bella as he heard Katie reach her peak and bath Bella's mouth and face in her juices. As Bella continued to clean and pleasure her mistress, Katie had a hold of the back of her head, Harry moved up behind Bella and started to run he swollen head along Bella's core. Hearing her whimpers he slowly pushed inside and claimed her. Looking into his mate eyes, [I love you.]

When Harry saw that Katie had recovered and staring into the eyes of their mate, the two Lycans transformed into their hybrid form, preparing to bite Bella at the right time. Bella noted the physical change in her mistress, but missed the change in the release of pheromones that came with the change. Bella did not miss the change in size of the appendage inside her core, as she now felt fuller and stretched in ways she had never been, bringing new pleasure. Soon she felt a new sensation and pressure at the top of her tunnel as Harry's tip started to work it's way into and through her cervix. This was soon followed by increase fullness at her opening as his knot started to enlarge and slide through.

Harry was panting as he continued his attempt to breed the new pack female under him. He could feel the tightness around the tip of his penis as it moved through her cervix and the tightness around the base as his knot started to swell. He increased his pace and penetration as the sensations drove him closer to his release. He wanted to be deep inside Bella as he could get before loosing control. Soon they both felt the enlarging knot slide in fully on a deep thrust and Harry just rested when the opening closed around the back of the knot holding it in. Bella could not believe how good it felt, having the growing knot locked in her tunnel and the tip pushed into her womb. The pleasure she was getting from both was mind numbing and reinforcing her need for this to happen. As soon as Harry started to move again with short rapid thrust, she returned to her job of pleasuring her mistress.

Soon Harry's movements became more erratic as he approached his climax and he called out to Katie. This pushed Katie over the edge for the second time, and pulling on Bella's head she forced the older witch to swallow all of her juices. Just as Katie was releasing her hold on Bella, Harry reached forward and pull Bella towards him exposing her breasts to Katie. Katie loved the look of those round breast with their swollen, hard nipples, but the site of the dark mark on Bella's left forearm caught her attention. As Bella was pulled back onto Harry, he exposed her left nape and as he reached his climax and started to release himself into Bella, he bit down onto Bells neck. At the same time Harry was biting Bella's neck, Katie sank her fangs into Bella's left forearm across the dark mark.

The pain of the two bites and the pleasure feeling the release of Harry deep inside of her caused Bella to reach an incredible pleasure level, and then disbelief and frustration, she could not reach her peak and crash over the other side into a wonderful bliss, but was left teetering on the edge. She felt a sense of contentment mixed with the pent up sensation as her first step in healing started.

The three slowly came down from their sexual high and Bella pulled Katie into her chest as Harry cuddled up against her back as he was still locked deep inside of her tunnel, and she could still feel slow pulses coming from him. Katie changed back to her human form as she snuggle up against Bella and drifted off to sleep. Bella soon followed Katie into the land of nod, enjoying the feeling of the continue presence of Harry deep inside of her. Something she never felt from her ex. Hearing the two witches in front of him sleeping as their breathing changed. Harry slowly transformed back, but was surprised to find himself still knotted deep inside Bella. He enjoyed the sensation and just snuggled into her back pushing himself a little deeper. Two of the house-elves came out and covered their sleeping forms and put up an elf barrier to keep any weather and insects from bothering them until morning.

20 August

Potter Manor

It was approaching 0845 when the floo, in the manor reception hall, flashed green and Madame Bones and her niece Susan stepped out of the flames. The last remaining members of House Bones were there for a meeting with Harry and Katie along with the last members of House Lovegood. Shortly the floo flared again as Luna and Mr. Lovegood arrived.

"Thank you all for coming. Lets move to the sitting room for out discussion," greeted Harry. The group moved to the sitting room when the elves had left a tea and coffee service on the side table. "Please help your selves to tea."

Once everyone had their drinks and were sitting down, Harry started to explain why he had asked them to come over and that what Katie and he were going to share with the group. "I do not want to keep secrets from the four of you, and felt that you needed to know what has transpired this summer," stated Harry.

"We ask for an oath from each of you not to talk about or reveal anything you learn about Katie or myself without our express permission," stated Harry. Now the intrigue of both Amelia and Xeno was peaked, with a little concern for Amelia, as being the head of DMLE.

"Lord Potter, I cannot give an oath that will break or counter the oath I have taken as the Director of DMLE," stated Amelia.

[How do we address this?] asked Harry of Katie, while looking at this wife.

[We need these oaths for our own protection,] replied Katie.

[Can we share with her and then ask for the oath after she hears what we have to say, and help work the oath so it does not cause conflict?] countered Harry.

[We can, but get a promise from her to listen to everything before reacting,] agreed Katie.

"Harry, you two need to learn how too private talk and not ignore the people in the room," commented Luna.

"I did not hear anything Moonbeam," stated Xeno.

"It is part of their gift, that they want to share," replied Luna.

"Luna is correct and we do loose track of where we are at times when talking," answered Katie. "But we are working on it."

"Madame Bones, for now can we get a promise from you not to react until you have heard everything we have to say, and then give your oath?" asked Katie. Amelia thought over what was being asked and gave her promise to hold her reaction until she has heard all of their story. Susan, Luna and Xeno all gave their oaths not to discuss what they were about to learn without express permission form Katie or Harry.

"Thank you all for agreeing to our request," started Harry. "Luna and Susan are in a marriage contract with myself and the two of us felt it would be best not to keep any secrets from you. The events that lead to Katie's and my soul bond occurred on July 4th. I was visiting Katie and we were walking around the village of Whitchurch, before I had to leave for the night, when we started to hear howling. We started to head back towards Katie's house when we were attacked. There was a full moon and the creature attacking us was a werewolf. We later learned that it was Greyback himself who attack us."

"I read a report on a unknown magical out burst during the night the next morning. The response team did not find anything when they investigated," commented Amelia. Harry and Katie nodded to Amelia's comment.

"We were both injured and bitten by Greyback, but he did not walk away unscathed," stated Harry. "I believe I have caused severe damage to his left shoulder using accidental magic to make a silver dagger from a metal pipe."

"I know he had left eye damage from two fist sized rock I had thrown at him, hitting him in head," added Katie. "Our injuries consisted of broken bones, mild head injuries, lung injury, lacerations and the bite wounds. Much of my clothes were ripped off by Greyback as he attempted to rape me." Katie started to shake as she relieved that part of the attack. Harry moved quickly to wrap her in an embrace pushing as much love for her into the hug and kiss. "I think he was going to rape me and leave me pregnant before turning me."

"After some more accidental magic, we fell together against one of the walls and called for Dobby," continued Harry. "We both would not listen to the other so Dobby took both of us to my tent and started to heal our wounds. It was while he left to get us a sleep potions that we initiated the bond."

"As a dark creature you must report to the ministry and are not allowed to own a wand," stated Amelia.

"Amelia, were are not dark creatures," rebutted Katie. "Cast what ever detection spell you have for dark creatures and see what is revealed."

Amelia cast several spells and Xeno added one or two and both adults looked confused at the results of the spells and what they were telling them. Even Amelia's monocle could not identify any traces of dark creature essence in the teens.

"How is this possible?" asked Amelia.

"It was during the formation of our bond that several factors contributed to the mutation of the curse that infected us," replied Katie. "It was explained to us later that night through a dreamscape meeting between us and six goddesses. They were Mórrigan, Bastet, Freyja, Hecate, Diwija, and Selene. From them we learned that we are the alpha pair of Lycans. Our bite is only dangerous to a werewolf in any form. If Harry right now transformed and bit your arm you would only have a nice dog bite mark for a scar."

"Transform without a full moon?" asked Susan.

"Yes," answered Harry. "As Lycan we only answered to the full moon on our first transformation to allow for the gift to finalize and settle. From then on the full moon only makes us moody."

"Luv, we are more than just moody around a full moon," corrected Katie. "Harry is right we are moody, but also very amorous."

"Why tell us this? You could have kept this secret," commented Xeno.

"Yes we could. But then our relation with you all as a family would be built on lies and deceit. We do not want that," replied Katie. The four looked at the Potters and nodded their understanding for honesty.

"With this soul bond with Katie, how are you to love Susan or Luna in these marriages?" inquired Amelia.

"I was concerned of the same thing when I learned of the marriage contracts," stated Harry. "During one of our visits, we asked the goddesses about this and they explained our soul-bond was changed to something totally new and never seen before. This new form allows me to share the great amount of love I have with all of the females who joint the pack and family. To include any lady I take as a wife by line-continuation contract or for one of my many titles."

"How many titles are you in line for?" asked Amelia.

"I have eight titles in seven houses, if I bring them all back," answered Harry. Amelia nodded, as she recalled how he would have control of so many votes in the Wizengamot.

The new family talked for some time discussing several more topics to include returning to Hogwarts and taking up their titles for the founders. Amelia was also able to give a oath to protect the information she learned.

It was decided that just before leaving for Hogwarts on the express the three would pick up their house rings for the founders and talk with Rockclaw to keep the information suppressed, as long as possible. They also discussed who to appoint as proxy for the Wizengamot and Board of Governors. The Board of Governors would be replaced by the proxy and had final say and could override the headmaster, where the governors could not, without a majority vote.

Potter Farms

Sitting room

Bella was sitting in one of the high wing back chairs reflecting on what has happen to her over the past few months. 'I have escaped from Azkaban with Sirius, in our Animagus forms. We have both been captured by his godson and his house-elves and allowed to stay at his farm. I am allowed to read anything in the small library here and I am treated well by the elves. Sirius and I have met with Lord Black and he cancelled my marriage contract for violations on the part of Rodolphus and Rabastan. Sirius is the next Lord Black and Harry will be his heir once grandfather steps down,' thought Bella. 'Katie and Harry have not been unkind to me and they insisted that I be included in what should happen to me with Lord Black. I was told what my options were and I was allowed time to reflect on what I wanted to become. I was given my freedom back, but because of what Voldemort and Rodolphus had done to me along with mother, father and Aunt Walburga, I was now a wanted fugitive. I was offered a gift that would free me from that life and I took it. I want to have children and care for them. The loss of my child at the hands of Rodolphus and Rabastan and the abuse from them allowed protective psychotic Bellatrix to surface to protect me Bella. Now I sit here frustrated to all ends at not be allowed my release when I accepted the gift. The pleasure from that night was untold, but this desire for release is frustrating. I will demand Katie and Harry tell me why.'

'I do not regret the gift, and chance of a new life I was given, even with this frustrating wanting and pent up sexual urge. I am a pure-blood Lycan the third member of a new species and the bound wife of the Alpha pair and I will be a mother in time,' reflected Bella. "Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned."

Out across Magical England and Europe many followers of Voldemort and a shade shivered as a cold chill ran down their backs.
