November 1981
He was in shock at what the Potter Family Lawyer had just told him about what he was given after the deaths of his lover, Lily Potter and her twin brother, James. Jeremy Danvers had 100 percent full custody of his 15 month old daughter, Holly, who had her mother's red hair and green eyes. On top of having full custody of Holly, Jeremy was also given all the muggle non liquid and liquid assets so he could be set for life. They did this as magical beings can't really give "creatures" of any type anything in the magical world like buildings or money.
And since Jeremy was a type of werewolf that actually looked like a wolf and could change at any time and not just on the full moon, he was considered a creature. Sirius Black had promised to look after the Potter Vaults in Gringotts to make sure Dumbledore would not and could not touch it. When Jeremy went back to Stonehaven, he was greeted by only Antonio "Toni" Sorrentino, his best friend and pack brother.
"What's all this?" Antonio asked as he looked to the child in his best friend's arms.
Sure wolves would have love affairs long enough to result in kids, but something was not right about this.
"Remember that woman from England that I had a love affair with during my year abroad that ended about 2 years ago?" Jeremy asked
Every wolf had a year abroad, on a different continent, so they would appreciate pack life, sometimes they even had affairs during that time.
"The one with the brother who told you not to break her heart?" Antonio asked
Antonio remembered Lily fondly as when he went to visit, she made him feel welcome and like he had lived with her and in that house all his life. She would have made a great pack mother if Dominic would have just approved it when Jeremy had come home and Antonio and Jeremy had asked.
"Yeah. Well she had a daughter almost 16 months ago. She had put me on the birth certificate. And since she was murdered not that long ago, I have custody over our daughter." Jeremy said
"Well the rules do state that a wolf can have custody of a daughter if there is no other choice in the matter. Was there no other choice?" Antonio asked
"The only couple on the list has 7 kids of their own to feed and put through school. The 2 single men who Lily trusted with her life had given proof that they were unfit to take her 100 percent of the time. They said that she'd come out worse than them when they were growing up. And because of when the will was made, there were a few names that belonged to dead people." Jeremy said
"What was happening over there to make the will have dead people on the list of people to take care of a child?" Antonio asked
"There was a terrorist who mysteriously disappeared and was killing people who stood in his way." Jeremy said
Unknown to Antonio and Jeremy, Dominic had been listening in on the whole conversation and knew what was going on with Jeremy.
"Hello Jeremy. Have a nice trip?" Dominic asked as he descended the stairs.
Jeremy's heart pounded in his chest as he looked to his alpha and wondering what would happen to him or Holly if he didn't want her around.
"Yes sir." Jeremy said
"And who is this?" Dominic asked
"This is my daughter Holly." Jeremy said
"I heard your conversation with Antonio." Dominic said
"You did?" Jeremy asked in a panic
"Yes I did and I understand where you are coming from." Dominic said
"You do?" Jeremy asked
"I do. And as a pack, we will take care of her." Dominic said
"Are you sure?" Jeremy asked
Werewolves were a very patriarchal group and very few women born to werewolf fathers had ever changed into a wolf of their own. Though there was only one woman in all of the history of werewolves who was bitten by her lover or someone in the pack to ever survive.
"Of course. She's pack so she will be protected like any other member." Dominic said
"Thank you Dominic." Jeremy said
"You're welcome Jeremy." Dominic said

August 1991
After 10 years of being in the custody of her father, Holly was now 11 years old and she was on her way to Hogwarts like her mother. Over the past 10 years, Jeremy had become Alpha of the pack and he had adopted a young bitten boy named Clayton who was 2 years older than Holly. Clay had been abused by basically everyone in his hometown from his birth and step family to the kids at school who hated his intelligence. Holly liked her new brother since the two had met when Jeremy had finally come home with him after a month of waiting patiently for Clay to trust him.
Clay was still iffy about Holly, even after 5 years, but he still protected her from the people who picked on her at school like any good big brother would.
"Daddy. I'm nervous about going to Hogwarts. I don't think I should go." Holly said
Jeremy and Holly were in Jeremy's art studio as it was the only place that they could be truly alone together and no one besides them liked going in there. Clay found it boring, Nick would only cause disruption and everyone else knew that that the space was only Jeremy and Holly's space. Jeremy was painting reasonable sized pictures of landscapes to sell at the farmers market so he and his family wouldn't be considered hermits. Holly did watercolor prints and cards of the same landscapes so there would be choices.
"Its going to be fine sweetheart. You're going to be fine. You'll learn the things you need to so you could control your powers and then you'll come back." Jeremy said
"But to them, I'm a child of a creature." Holly said
"You're going to be fine. But if they do torment you, try to ignore them and find a teacher if they don't calm down, okay." Jeremy said
"I wish that Nick and Clay would be coming with me." Holly grumbled in a soft tone of voice, almost a whisper, as she sat in her chair with her arms crossed.
Antonio had a son named Nicolas, but liked to go by Nick, who was born 2 weeks after Holly and he was also protective of Holly just like Clay was. Whenever an adult looked to how Holly and Nick acted around each other, they knew that they had a crush on each other and didn't want to tell the other. Antonio and Jeremy liked the idea of their children getting together like this so they could actually be related and not lie about it. They each took their child and tried to make them confess to the other, but they were way too stubborn to listen to their fathers about the matter.
"You know Clay is too old to be a first year and Nick didn't get a letter." Jeremy said only hearing what his daughter had said because of his super wolf hearing.
"A girl can wish can't she?" Holly asked
"Of course she can. But some wishes can come true and some can't come true." Jeremy said
"What's the difference?" Holly asked
"On how realistic a wish can be. Like if I could visit you at Hogwarts." Jeremy said
"You can?" Holly asked in a hopeful tone
"I've talked to McGonagall after you received your acceptance letter and she said since of who and what I am, I can come and see you." Jeremy said
"Will you bring Clay with you when you come?" Holly asked with a hopeful glint in her eye
"I can see what I can do with him." Jeremy said smirking
Jeremy knew that Clay did anything Holly asked him to do with no question and if she asked for him to visit her at Hogwarts, he would do it. And because of this action, Jeremy has a picture of Clay sleeping next to Holly when the younger of the two had a nightmare and Clay came to the rescue. Jeremy had soon took Holly to the New York alley to get all her school things, but when it came to taking Holly to Kings Cross, it was Antonio was the one who took her. When Antonio and Holly touched down on English soil, Antonio took Holly to the Alpha of the English pack, Aaron Embers, and explained what was going on.
Aaron understood where Antonio was coming from and promised to look out for Holly and would help whenever she needed it. Aaron gave Holly his address so she could send SOS letters and Holly gratefully took it knowing that having an ally like this would be very helpful.
September 1991
Holly was now on the train going to Hogwarts and she nervous about what will happen to her, she didn't know what was going to happen. All she could do was hope that everything will go smoothly and she would be discriminated against due to who her father was. Then there was a knock at the door, Holly looked to the door and saw that it was a nervous looking boy who had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. He looked like he wasn't sure that he was supposed to be here, like he was constantly told that he had no magic and had no place in Hogwarts.
"Do you mind if I sit in here with you? Everywhere else is full or the people there won't let me in." He asked in all hopes that Holly will be nice to him.
"Of course you can." Holly said being the type of nice her father raised her to be.
The boy was shocked on Holly's American accent as everyone from the country usually went to Ilvermorny and not Hogwarts. Though there were were a few American students who had come to Hogwarts on an exchange program, but they were all older students, like fifth years and up.
"I'm Neville Longbottom." Neville said
"I'm Holly Potter-Danvers." Holly said
Neville was shocked as his grandmother had told him that the Potter family was allies to their family but the last Potter was in America and not coming back. And Holly only had Potter in her last name as her uncle James didn't have any known children to claim his titles and inheritance.
"You're American right?" Neville asked
"I have duel citizenship between America and England. But I was raised in the state of New York." Holly said
"Is that why you are coming to Hogwarts and not the American school?" Neville asked
"Yep." Holly said popping the 'p'
When her Hogwarts letter arrived, it also came with a teacher and the same thing happened with the Ilvermorny letter and both teachers showed up on the same day. Neville and Holly continued to talk about anything and everything, excluding secrets, the rest of the train ride to Hogwarts. And soon the train got to Hogsmead Station and the first years went one way and second years and up went another way. While waiting for the sorting, Holly made conversation with Daphne Greengrass and Draco Malfoy.
Holly could tell that all they wanted was love and friendship and Holly wanted to be their friend and when they went into the great hall, they were all nervous. Holly, Daphne and Draco all were sorted into Hufflepuff House while Neville was sorted into Gryffindor house like every other Longbottom. When Draco got back to the combo room, he wrote to his father about his house placement and Lucious didn't care as long as it wasn't Gryffindor House.
June 1991
The whole year went by without fail and Holly was lucky that no one found out about her being a daughter of a creature. Her friendship with Daphne and Draco flourished without fail and they were the only ones to know that Holly's father and brother were werewolves. They found out when Jeremy and Clay had come for a visit for the first time and Clay transformed when he got irritated by all the moving stairs.
June 1998
It was happening, Holly and all her friends were graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and on time. Luckily Voldemort was defeated the year after he came back due to Regulus Black saying that he had been alive all along and telling everyone about the horcruxes. Holly was made prefect in her fifth year and head girl in her seventh just like her mother when she was at Hogwarts herself. And here's another thing, in the summer of 1995, just after her 15th birthday, Holly went through the transformation process and became a wolf like her father and brother.
Luckily Nick had helped her through the process of changing as he had to go through it just months before himself. And a few weeks later, after getting her footing with the whole wolf thing, Holly became Nick's girlfriend which made her really happy. And now she's sitting through her graduation ceremony and the pack she's very close with is there supporting her from the family section. Holly felt loved and cared for and nothing could take that away from her.
May 2004
Holly smiled as she had finally got married to the love of her life, Nick Sorrentino, on the property of Stonehaven and with all their friends and family watching. The wedding was officiated by Draco's mother Narcissa who had asked Holly to call her Cissa upon their first meeting back in 1991 during winter break.
2010
Holly was not very happy with her brother right about now because of what he did to the woman he was having an affair with. Clay had bitten her on the hand just because Jeremy thought that she had seen him change back into a human from his wolf form. Holly wanted to make sure the woman Clay brought home knew nothing the magical way so she wouldn't die, but Jeremy wanted to do it his way. After fully transforming, the woman, Elena, became a full member of the pack and continued her relationship with Clay
2013
After three years of being a wolf, Elena had run off after she had killed a werewolf hunter and had broken off he relationship with Clay. She wanted nothing to do with being a wolf or the pack, but out of respect of Elena, Jeremy never kicked her out of the pack so she could stay in one place. Holly would often check up on Elena in Toronto and watched her make friends with a human woman and start dating her brother.
