23July

Harry and Katie were finishing breakfast at Potter Manor, Elvina and Philip had already left for the day, when Hedwig arrived with an official looking letter. She landed by Harry and while he was removing the letter she grabbed a piece of bacon off his plate and hopped to the other side of Katie before eating her nicked treat. Katie just smiled at Harry as he realized he had lost his last piece of bacon.

"What's in the letter?" asked Katie.

"It's from Rockclaw. It seems there is an Egyptian envoy at the bank asking for us," answered Harry. "It looks like a trip to Diagon Alley this morning in place of studies." The teens quickly finished their breakfast before heading up to get changed for the meeting at Gringotts. Once they were ready Harry called Dobby to take them to the bank.

It was about 10 min to 0900 when they arrived at a secluded spot by the bank. Katie told Dobby that they would call him when ready to head home. Once seeing that they were safe, Dobby popped back to the manor. Katie and Harry left their arrival spot and walked to the entrance of Gringotts Bank and proceeded into the Bank. They waited in line for one of the tellers to complete what he was doing. Once he was completed counting and documenting the last transaction did he ask what he could do for the two teens.

"Honoured Teller, we received a letter form Account Manager Rockclaw," answered Harry, presenting his letter.

"Yes, let me close my line and I will take you to his office," responded Teller Furgott. Teller Furgott, hopped down off of his stool and proceeded around the counter of tellers until he met up with Harry and Katie. "This way please," he stated as he was off through one of the doors on the right side. Furgott knocked on the doors when they arrived and announced Harry and Katie.

Inside the office were two individuals, one goblin and an older dark skin man. "Lord and Lady Potter allow me to introduce Bahadur Hakim," stated Rockclaw. " Medjay Hakim, received a calling to seek out children of Bastet, while he was meditating in one of the sacred temples in Thebes." Harry and Katie approached the two, and as they got closer Medjay Hakim dropped to his knees and bowed before them.

"It is the blessed children," said Hakim, with reverence, and refusing to look at them.

"Medjay Hakim, please stand?" requested Harry. "How do you know we are the blessed children you seek?"

"While meditating at the sacred temple of Bastet and Sekhmet, I saw two children that were blessed by Bastet but were floundering in their fight with creatures most foul," stated Hakim. "The boy with glowing emerald green eyes touched by basilisk and phoenix, and his soul-bonded mate with glowing brown eyes."

Harry and Katie look at one another and then at the two in front of them and then how the children were described, in Hakim's tale. They agree that the vision description is them and move to thank Rockclaw.

"Medjay Hakim, is there anything that you need before we depart the alley?" inquired Harry. Seeing nothing was needed Harry thanked Manager Rockclaw for his assistance and the three departed Gringotts and the alley for Potter Manor.

Once they had arrived by house-elf, Harry asked Hakim how best to address him.

"You can address me as Medjay, as I am the only one here," stated Hakim. "We only use full titles when there is more than one present. The people call us only by Medjay when amongst them."

"As you are our teacher, calling you Medjay shows respect for who you are," answer Harry. "Jalpey will show you to your room. We will show you around the manor after you have rested and lunch." Jalpey, popped in when called, and left with Hakim for his room to rest from his travels. Harry and Katie headed off to study and work on their summer assignments.

After finishing lunch Harry, Katie and Hakim began the tour of the manor and grounds to see where Hakim would prefer to teach. It was decided that most of the training would be outdoors and they would use the training room in bad weather.

"The goddess instructed me that I am to teach you the Patronus charm, help you to find your animal and transform into your Animagus form and how to use both to fight foul creatures," stated Hakim. The two teens looked at their teacher with slightly confused looks.

"Medjay, what are foul creatures?" asked Katie.

"Those would be the ones you call Dementor and others such creatures, inferi, or undead," answered Hakim. "The goddess said that you animal will be able to damage or kill these creatures." With the explanations complete the teacher and two students sat down in the grass and started their first lesson, and the path towards Animagi and finding their Patronus.

29July

Katie and Harry had just crawled into bed for the night after a hard day of training with Medjay Hakim. They both had located their animal's home today, but had not been able to find or see their forms. They had also started to see progress in their Patronus charm. They each had made some mist each, but nothing more and both of them were exhausted with that. Seeing the two teens exhaustion from their efforts Hakim called an end of training and sent them off to work on their summer assignments and to study.

The two teens snuggled into one another and shared some kisses before the land of dreams arrived. Katie woke up in the sunny meadow with the garden. She did not see Harry any where, near by, and headed to see if he was already in the garden. She was just about to the water falls when she heard the goddesses talking, and turned towards the noise.

"Welcome child?" greeted Freyja.

"Welcome Reverend Mistresses," greeted Katie. "Have you seen Harry?"

"Not this time our child. It is only you who was brought over tonight," replied Mórrigan. "Tonight we will teach you how to block your ovulation, use your pheromones to affect Harry, other males & females and to control the females in the pack."

"We also need you to hold on your plan for Harry's birthday and allow our magic to influence the completion of the bond during your first transformation on the full moon," added Hecate. Katie blushed deeply hearing that the goddesses knew what she was planning for Harry's birthday.

"With both of you being virgins, and giving this gift during completion of the bond during your first transformation will make both the bond and the future pack bonds stronger and enhance your new traits," stated Selene.

"Affect the pack bond in what way?" asked Katie.

"It will allow for better relations between Harry and you, and the other pack wives. It will also help with the select males brought in and pack females," answered Mórrigan.

So for the rest of the night the goddesses taught Katie how to manipulate her ovulation in human form, as that is the only form it can be adjusted in, enhance and manipulate her pheromones and use her Alpha aura/psyche to control or affect others associated with the pack and control of the other lower females in the pack. Her pheromones and aura could be slightly compared to the Veela allure, in their effects. The goddesses said that they would bring both of them over on Harry's birthday to start the training for the full moon. When Katie woke up the next morning she was well rested and ready to start a new day. It was already a good day by waking up with Harry, snuggled into his chest with his arms wrapped around her.

The two teens spent the day working on their Animagus form and Patronus in the morning and finished their summer assignments. Their goal was to have all summer homework completed by Harry's birthday, which was Tomorrow. Both of the teens could now form a mist when casting their Patronus spell and Hakim's goal was to have full corporal forms when they left for school on the first of September.

31July

It was an older Katie with her hair hanging down her back, crawling into bed wearing a loose, sheer pink top that showed off her lower toned abdomen and did not hide her pale pink, skimpy, lace knickers and her long legs. She had this mischievous smile on her face that could compete with the Cheshire cat. Before the dream could go any further Harry was roused from his wonderful slumber by a tight hug followed by a couple of sensual pecks at the base of his neck.

"Just another five minutes," mumbled Harry as he was forced to wake up, leaving the land of dreams.

"Hey birthday boy, time to get up," stated Katie. "If you are a good boy today you will get an extra special gift tonight."

Seeing that he was not going to get any more rest, Harry pulled Katie into a loving embrace before he go up and made his was to the loo and got ready for the day. When he arrived in the kitchen the elves had breakfast waiting for him with balloons and signs across the room. He plated up some eggs, bacon, baubles&squeaks, toast and fruit. Harry joined the rest of the family at the table and they had pleasant conversation and Harry opened his gifts from the pile sitting on the end of the table, once he was finished eating. He received two books from Hermione, a rune carving set form Luna, a book from Daphne, Neville sent him two books on plants, Ron sent a box of assorted chocolate items, the twins sent a box of new products they have made. The two chasers got him a new set of goggles for bad weather and Katie gave him new gauntlets that went up the forearm further. The family was talking about the gifts until Philip told the teens they needed to get a move on or they would be late.

Philip and Elvina had a day trip for Harry's birthday to Thorpe Park. "Make sure you have good shoes, we will be walking, and pack a change of clothes to keep in the boot," said Elvina as the teens left the kitchen.

The family got on the road heading towards London making good time for the unknown location. It was not until they were pulling off of M3 that Katie recognised where they were going and started to bounce with anticipation. She suspected her parents were planing to act as distant chaperones and allow Harry and her to have this a special birthday date. Harry had never been to a theme park before, his mouth hung open as they got out of the car and he saw where they were at.

Philip made sure the teens had a watch and that they would meet up at the dome for lunch at 12pm, and to stay out of the water rides until after lunch. Once through the gates the teens were off to explore the park and enjoy themselves. Katie lead Harry around the park to the different rides starting with her favourite ones, never letting go of his hand. Harry was just awestruck with everything he saw. He enjoyed the rides and many of the other attractions, he really savoured the dark indoor ones that were slightly spooky as Katie held onto him and hid her face in his chest. The two found many obscured little places to share kisses with each other and not be seen. That was another reason Harry liked the indoor attractions where he and Katie could share more kisses and cuddles.

The two teens met up with the adults for lunch and they talked about what they had seen and the different rides and shows. The temperature had climbed enough that getting soaked on the water rides would not be a concern. So the teens left their parents and headed off for their afternoon ride fest to include a ride down Thunder river and Hudson River Rafters. They also wanted to go through Phantom Fantasia again, along with another ride on the railway. In the games area Harry was able to win Katie a giant bear. Harry enjoyed himself immensely and had a wonderful day with Katie sharing hugs, cuddles, and kisses.

It was getting close to 2000 and it was time to meet up with Philip and Elvina at the Dome to head out. The family made their way to the car and the adults listen to the teens chatter away about the day. They had just past Frimley when Elvina turned to ask Katie a question and found both teens sleeping with Katie leaning into Harry holding onto her new bear with Harry's arm around her. About 30min later they pulled into the parking space of their house in Whitchurch. Elvina woke the two teens and the family headed into the house, before calling the elves to take them to Potter Manor.

Once they had arrived at the Manor the teens bid their parents a good night and head off to their suite, where Katie tosses the bear on the bed before gathering her sleepwear and heading to the shower. Harry starts to read through one of his new books while waiting for Katie to get done. He hears the water turn off in the shower, so he puts the book down and starts to gather his night shorts and prepares for his shower, once Katie is done. It is about 20min later that Harry is done and returns to their room where he finds Katie already in bed.

After he puts his dirty clothes away and starts to crawl into bed does he notice that Katie's arms and shoulders are bare. "Katie, where is your shirt?"

"I told you, if you were good I would have a special gift for you," answered Katie. With this Katie pulled Harry into bed and the action causes the bedding to fall down and exposing Katie's wonderful breasts. Harry falls next to Katie blushing deep red as he looks at her breasts. This is the first time Harry has seen them and felt embarrassed from staring. Katie smirks at the reaction from Harry at seeing her breast.

Katie lets him flounder for a bit before leaning in and giving him a kiss. Harry pulls back a bit at the sudden contact on his lips, but then moves back into the kiss with Katie and soon deepens the kiss. Soon the young lovers are force to separate for air.

Katie now blushing as she stares into Harry's eye and starts. "I planned on giving myself to you tonight, allowing you to claim me as your wife, lover, mate and bonded." stated Katie, softly. "I was in the dreamscape two nights ago with the goddess and they taught me how to control my pheromones, Alpha aura/psyche, and my cycle. They saw my plans for tonight and advised that I do not carry through. According to them our bond will be so much stronger when we freely give ourselves to one another during our transformation." Katie slowly gets out of bed and removes her knickers before talking, "So starting tonight and forever I want us to explore each other and learn what makes the other excited, comfortable and loved." Finishing Katie crawls back onto the bed next to Harry kissing him, starting with soft pecks until he recovers, pushing her feelings of love into the bond.

Seeing Katie starkers and hearing what she desired, Harry's mind stopped for a moment until he felt Katie's lips kissing him. He fell back onto the bed and reached out his right hand to gently caress Katie's face and neck as he returned her gaze. He pushed his love for his bonded into the bond as he continued to share the soulful look with her. He gently pulled Katie down to him and returned the kiss and soon it was mutually deepened by the two of them.

Harry's tongue brushed gently at Katie's lips seeking permission, while their hands started to caress and roam each others bodies. Slowly Harry's arms pull Katie to him and wrap protectively around his mate causing her breasts to press up against his chest and side. His left hand slow moves up and down her back and her side, while his right slowly strokes her neck and scalp. While this is going on Katie's right hand begins to rub Harry's chest, trailing down to his tone abs making small circles as they go.

His finger tips lightly brush across the side of Katie's breast during one stroke along her side before running across her soft, tone bum. Harry slowly releases his hold on Katie, allowing her to slide more on her side and giving Harry more access to her breasts and front. Katie's hand traces down to Harry's shorts and slowly work their way under the waistband as she slides onto her side. She lightly grazes back up his abs with her nails to the junction of his neck and jaw, before moving back down to his waistband pushing then down. Harry quickly lifts his butt off the bed and to help get his shorts off. After this the two lovers continue to explore each other taking turns with their mouths and hands learning what makes their partner happy.

These activities continue for a while before the weariness from the fun filled day at the park caught up with them and they just curled up into one another with Harry spooning Katie pulling her tight against his body with his penis nestled against her bum and his hand cupping her breast with Katie's hand resting over his. They both had contented smiles on their faces as they slept, neither noticing the soft golden glow that surrounded their bodies and covered them during the night.

The two young lovers wake up in the sunny meadow of their dreamscape and walk towards the gardens wanting to talk with their mentors. The goddesses greeted the young Alphas and discussed what would happen in three nights with the full moon. Freyja, Mórrigan, Selene, and Bastet were happy to see the children and that they had not lost their sexual purity for the upcoming full moon. Tonight was more work on controlling their pheromones, and their Alpha aura/psyche along with more detail in what will happen to them and talents/abilities they will have after the change. The goddesses also talked with the teens about their bond and how it will change after their first mating and what the pack bond will add to their bond.

"Who will we add as part of the pack bond?" asked Harry.

"All of the females who join you as wife, rather they are Lycan or not. They will have the strongest pack bond, except for the Alpha bond," responded Selene. "The pack females will all have a similar bond, but not as strong and then there will be the minor male pack bond. This will be more of a protector bond for the pack."

"These other females will be part of the pack and protected by the pack," added Mórrigan. "Any female you two decide to be friends with, intimate with will slowly join the pack. You are limited in the number of male friends that can join the pack as some will try and challenge. This said you will need some other males to diversify the genetics of the larger pack, to keep it healthy as it grows. In time the pack will become several smaller packs all answering to the Alpha pack. In years to come the packs will cover many countries and mingle in both worlds."

"So we will need to choose wisely on males that we offer the gift to," noted Harry. He received approving nods from the goddesses.

The goddesses educated the two Alphas on what all the gift can provide, to one who willing accepts the gift, and more on the difference between them and werewolves. Part of the gift is the ability to heal forced damage or injury on the willing receiver.

"What do you mean?" asked Katie, after learning this part of the gift.

"We mean that if the person accepting the gift has been injured, subjugated, cursed, or bound (spirit/magic/mental) then when they transform at their first full moon they will be healed and the offending damage removed," answered Freyja. Both teens nod in understanding of this special gift.

"This was done to keep the pack healthy and free of curses, magical limitations and health issues?" summarized/questioned Harry.

"Yes," Freyja answered.

The two teens studied with the goddesses for several hours before being released to their dreams for the night. Harry woke up with his head resting of a very soft pillow and a slight rhythmic breeze to his hair. As he opened his eyes he sees Katie's left bare breast in front of him. He realizes that he is laying on Katie's chest and the faint breeze is Katie breathing. He just lays there listening to her heart beat and breathing as he watches the breast and nipple move rhythmically with each breath. He is mesmerized with the site and does not want to disturb Katie from her sleep.

Slowly Katie starts to stir and she feels a pleasant weight on her chest. After slowly opening her eyes and remembering what had occurred last night with Harry she was pleased to see him resting his head on her chest.

"Morning love," greets Katie.

Hearing her voice Harry lifts his head to meet her eyes. "Morning beautiful," replied Harry.

"I'm happy that you did not over react when you woke up with your head on my chest," noted Katie.

"It was very comfortable and after last night and seeing the natural you, I'm not embarrassed by it," Harry replied. "It may be different with our friends in discussion."

"I do not plan to tell anyone," responded Katie.

"No one? What about the other 2/3 of the flying foxes?" questioned Harry.

"Okay, almost no one. You know those two will not leave me alone, without some small morsel on you," responded Katie. Harry grinned to her response as he knew those three were like sisters.

Harry moved his head down and gave the right breast he had been laying on a soft kiss and a quick suckle of the nipple before getting up and heading to the en suite for his morning ablution. Katie squeaked/moaned in surprise of Harry's actions, and how nice it felt.

Katie quickly followed Harry into the bathroom and joined him in the shower after using the loo. They gently washed each other and Harry enjoyed washing Katie's hair for her. While they were drying off, Dobby popped in and right out, seeing were the two were. They both broke out in laughter at the poor elf's reaction to seeing them in the bathroom only wrapped in towels, knowing the scolding he would get from Heesy for popping into the bathroom like he did.

"Dobby, what is it you need?" called Harry.

"Master Harry sir, there are two magicals sniffing around your tent," answered Dobby from the bedroom.

"Can you and another elf subdue them and take them to Potter Farms?" asked Harry.

"Yes. We be there shortly with the witch and wizard," stated Dobby, followed by a pop.

"Looks like breakfast will wait a little longer, love. We need to visit the farm first and I will adjust the wards for our two guests," commented Harry.

"Tobkey, can you come here please?" called Harry. Tobkey arrival was noted by a soft pop.

"How may Tobkey be of service?" asked the head elf.

"Can you take Katie and I to the farm?" asked Harry. "Dobby found a witch and wizard snooping around my tent near Katie's house. I asked him to subdue the pair and to take them to the farm."

"Take my hand and we will be off," answered Tobkey. Harry and Katie each took a hold of Tobkey's hand and they left for the farm with a quiet pop.

The three arrived in the farm yard just off of the porch surrounding the farm house. Shortly after their arrival Pops arrived to meet his Master and Mistress.

"How may I serve Master Harry?" asked Pops on seeing Harry.

"Pops, I need to adjust the wards around the house and yard for two magicals that Dobby will be bringing here shortly," stated Harry. "He found them snooping around my tent. I want to secure the library, study, master suite and have the elves secure all weapons and wands. They will be allowed to use the house and walk through the gardens. They go beyond that and the wards are to disable or incapacitate them."

"Yous can be doing that at the ward stone," replied Pops. "Do you know who they are?"

"No. That is why I am having them brought here," answered Harry. "If they are a threat then we will call Madam Bones."

While the four were talking Dobby, along with, Jalpey and Fadby arrived with a large scruffy looking black dog and a worn black cat with greyish socks.

"Dobby, I thought you said that a witch and wizard were snooping around the tent?" asked Harry seeing the two animals in front of him.

"Harry, they maybe," stated Katie. "Remember Professor McGonagall's first class in first year?"

"Right she was sitting on her desk in cat form," responded Harry. "So they are Animagus like her?"

"Most likely for Dobby to call them magical," answered Katie. "Besides House-elves can sense the magic of the wizard or witch even if they are in animal form." Dobby, Pops, Tobkey, Jalpey, and Fadby were all nodding rapidly to Katie's statement about their ability to detect magic.

"Can you force them back to their human form?" inquired Harry.

"Wes can, but is better if they change," responded Pops. Harry nodded his understanding.

"Okay put them in a bed room and remove any wand or weapon they may have on them," directed Harry. "Now lets go adjust the wards."

Harry, Katie and Pops go down to the ward stone and see that there is a secondary set of ward stones for just the farm house and yard. He adds the new visitors to these wards and informs Pops to place their names when he learns them. The outer wards are set to disable the two if they leave the house or gardens, regardless of form. Also looking at the stones and the wards he finds the ward to prevent Animagus form and activates it. This should keep them from shifting back.

With the wards adjusted and the two guest settled in rooms Katie and Harry head back to the manor for breakfast with Katie's parents before starting their studies. They continued to work with Hakim on their own Animagus forms and their Patronus spells. Harry and Katie were also reviewing their etiquette for their upcoming meeting with King Ragnok after their transformation.

It was about 1000 when Whimsy came to the manor to let Harry know that the two quests were awake. Harry and Katie both thanked her for informing them and asked her to let Pops know that they will be over shortly.

Potter farms

About the same time Whimsy was informing Harry and Katie the two guests were awake, our two guests in question were waking up and both were inspecting the rooms that they found themselves in. They both were still in their animal forms and they both noted the heavy magic. Soon a house-elf popped into each of their rooms and informed them that the Master will meet them in the sitting room. They were also informed that any threat made towards Master will treated most harshly.

Harry and Katie arrived in the farm yard thanks to Dobby. "Dobby thank you for bringing us to the farm ," stated Harry. "Can you please quickly gather the other farm elves and have them in the house. They are to remain hidden until they are needed."

"Yes Master Harry. Dobby can be doing this," replied Dobby, and left with a pop.

After watching the excited house elf leave, Harry and Katie made their way into the farm house and the sitting room. When they arrived they saw that Floo had left a tea service on the side table for them and their quests. Harry and Katie were sitting in the settee enjoying a cup of tea when they head foot steps on the stairs. Coming down quietly was a cleaned up large black dog and dark grey/black feline about the size of a large Jaguarundi.

"Who are you and why were you two sneaking around my tent?" asked Harry, once the two animals were in the sitting room.

The dog sat on his haunches and stared at the boy addressing him, with a lost look on it face as if it cannot believe what it was seeing. The feline was standing defensively by the wall and near one of the doorways, looking at the boy.

"You can either change into your human form or I will have the house-elves do it. Your choice," stated Harry.

The dog looked at the cat and then back to the teens, nodding his head and quickly morphed into a ragged looking man with long unkept black hair, gaunt frame in tattered filthy grey clothes. The cat look at the man and its body language was more defensive at seeing who was standing near it. Slowly the cat moved itself into one of the corners and kept its back to the corner, near an open doorway and then morphed into a emaciated, worn female with tangled, long black hair, violet-blue eyes dressed in tattered rags, barely held together, or covering part of her anatomy.

The man quickly turned on the woman, but before he could act both of them were frozen by one of the house-elves, who were still unseen.

"Both of you will be civil in this house and towards each other," instructed Harry, with an authoritative tone. "I will have the elves free you to speak, but you will not be able to move, and you will keep a polite tongue when talking. Now who are you?"

Looking at the teens and then the witch the wizard turned his head back to the teens and addressed the boy. His voice breaking the first two times he tries to speak.

"Harry, I'm Sirius Black, your god-father," stated Sirius.

Harry stopped and looked at the man before him, studying the face in detail. Slowly the faint memories of a young toddler found some points of recognition in the hallowed face before him. "Pafoo," he whispered.

Hearing his old name as the toddler back then could only get out those syllables caused the older man to breakdown. Harry moved over to the restrained man and pulled him into a hug. Katie watched the interaction of the two males, but kept an eye on what the witch was doing. Slowly the two separated and Harry moved back to Katie's side. Every one looked to the adult witch in the room, waiting for an introduction.

Looking at everyone in the room as the watched her, and seeing that Sirius now recognised her, she decided to speak.

"I am Bellatrix Lestrange nee Black," stated Bellatrix. "I ask for sanctuary?"

"Are you mad? Asking for sanctuary after all of the people you kill," questioned Sirius.

"Siri, it is me Bella," stated Bellatrix, pleading with her eyes and a quiver in her voice. "I do not know how long I can stay, before the other comes back."

Sirius heard the old nick name Bella and Andi used for him when they were children and when looking in Bella's eyes he say the young innocent teen he knew from Hogwarts as a first year. "Does she know of the cat?" he asked. Bella shook her head no. "What happen to you Bella?"

"Mother, father and aunt Walburga forced some potions and cast spells on me before signing the contract with Lestrange," answered Bella. "Siri, please help me?" There was a quick flash across the eyes of Bella and she was gone replaced by the psychopathic murder and follower of Voldemort. "My master will be so pleased when I bring him yours and Potters heads," she screeched at them. "I will have so much fun making the little hussy scream begging for me to kill her." Before she could make any more threats she was stunned by three of the house-elves in the room.

"Sirius, who is that?" asked Harry.

"Harry, that is my cousin Bellatrix," answered Sirius. "She is the oldest of three sisters, Andromeda and Narcissa, are the younger two."

"Why did it sound like two different people?" inquired Katie, still looking at the stunned witch on the floor.

"I do not know?" replied Sirius. "The first one to speak sounded like the Bella from childhood, innocent and caring and full of life. The second is the psychopath that I know from fighting he-who-must-not-be-named."

"Voldemort," stated Harry.

Sirius shivered, even bound, hearing Harry saying Voldemort's name. Harry looked in some disbelief at the reaction of his god-father upon hearing the name.

"Why is it everybody flinches when they hear Voldemort's name?" he asked, Sirius flinches again.

"Harry, during the last war he placed a taboo on his name that would alert him and his followers to who said it, allowing them to apparate to the speakers location," answered Sirius. "Many witches and wizards were killed by this, so the other two hyphenated name came about."

"But it's a made up name from his real name," countered Harry, receiving a puzzled look from Sirius and Katie. "His real name is Tom Riddle. I know this from my interaction with his spirit in the chamber of secrets, at the end of the school year."

"What do you mean?" asked Sirius.

"It's an anagram," replied Harry. "He spelled his name in fire letters and then rearranged them to spell his fake name. His full name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, it rearranged to 'I am Lord Voldemort'."

Once Sirius was released the three visited for the next several hours, with the teens learning more about Sirius and Harry's parents and Sirius learning more of what has happen to Harry. Sirius was very angry when he learned that Harry had been left with Petunia and Vernon. He knew that Harry was never to have been left there from discussions with both James and Lily. "Harry, have you read your parents wills?" inquired Sirius after what he had heard.

"Yes." answered Harry. "We, along with Katie's mum, we read the wills shortly after the attack on 4 July."

"What attack?" questioned Sirius.

Harry and Katie shared looks and looked back at Sirius. [How much do we tell him?] questioned Harry.

[Do you trust him?] asked Katie.

[I do not know.] answered Harry. [I have a little more trust with him than I do with Dumbledore right now.] Katie nodded in agreement.

[I suggest we tell him some but not all,] responded Katie. Harry nodded to this.

During this short exchange Sirius watched the two teens in front of him, look at him and then to each other, before Harry nodded.

"I was visiting Katie on 4 July and before leaving for the night, Katie and I took a walk around Whitchurch. On the way back we heard howling and just before getting back to her house we were attack by some creature," stated Harry. "We were both injured during the attack and the creature attempted to rape Katie. It was during this part of the attack my magic flared in an unknown type of accidental magic and tossed the creature into some walls before throwing it out into the river."

"Dobby took us to Harry's tent, the one you were snooping around, and started healing our injuries," continued Katie. "After some healing and the crash of the adrenaline we both passed out and the next morning we found out that we had a soul-bond." [We can fill in more details later.]

"Okay, so what are you not telling me?" inquired Sirius.

"Sirius, for now that is all we will say," replied Harry, with a tone saying do not push.

Sirius held his hand up, in surrender, at the tone of Harry's response. He knew he had no right to push further at this time. He also saw the conflict in Harry's eye and face of can they trust him.

"Okay. In the future when I have your trust, maybe you will tell me the rest," answered Sirius. Harry nodded to this request.

Sirius was released and instructed about where he and Bella could go and what would happen if they left the house or gardens. Bella was moved back to her room to wake up. Clothing was provided for both so they could shower and feel more human than animal. There was not set meal time, so they could eat when they wanted. A letter on the rules were left for Bella to read when she woke up, and Sirius was tasked to explain them when she was awake.

Back at Potter Manor, Harry quickly drafted a letter to Lord Black requesting a meeting to discuss a highly sensitive issues with him. He explained in the letter that he could not go into details of the issues of discussion.

AN2:

Reviews are read. One reviewer commented I should be more mysterious. I will work on this, still attempting to see how.

Reviewer commented on grammar. Grammar and spelling not strongest skill in Comp while in college. I reread chapters several times with days between reading to help catch mistakes, but I will still miss them.

Last I write as my muse lets me when I have time to write. The muse directs what I write, today it is working on Lycan, tomorrow it may be Lycan again or another rough. To that my muse has gone to sleep on The Bond and Ritual. I do plan to finish, just do not know which direction to go, start fresh or back up some and forge ahead.

Thanks for reading
