The two had a quiet week. Remus taught Hermione how to focus on specific sounds and smells so that the battlefield wouldn’t be too overwhelming for her.

A few days later was the day of the battle. Severus came by to portkey them to the castle. They were silent for a moment, reflecting on the day ahead.

“Alright you two. Got everything you need?” They nodded and grabbed their satchels. “Okay the portkey will take you directly to he headmistress’ office. Ready?” They nodded and he held an old tattered book out to them.

They felt the familiar uncomfortable tug behind their navels and were pulled towards Hogwarts. Hermione landed on her bottom while the two men landed on their feet. She scowled up at them and put her hands out. Each one grabbed a hand and pulled her to her feet. “Thanks” she said with a huff.

The office was empty of life, including all the portraits. Severus grabbed Hermione’s elbow and led her from the room. Once in the corridor she could feel the change in the building and gave an involuntary shudder. There was a build up of magic, energy, and emotions.

“You feel it too, don’t you?” Remus asked her. Severus looked confused, but watched as Hermione’s eyes changed.

She nodded. “Fear. Nervous energy. Magic.” She growled in her chest.

“Loba.” Remus growled out.

“Moony” she replied, her eyes glowing amber.

“Severus. Get us those potions. This energy may set us off early.” The dark man, who had backed away at the girl’s growl, stepped forward again and offered his arm. Hermione readily grabbed it and held onto Remus’ hand as well in an attempt to ground herself.

They arrived at the dungeons in record time. Hermione froze in the corridor, her pupils contracting. “Remus” she whispered.

“Hermione” He stood in front of her, close enough so his scent would overwhelm another. He smelled the other wolf as well.

“That’s…”

“Someone on our side. Don’t worry about it right now. Once this is all over we’ll figure things out. For now, as cliché as it sounds, we have to save the world.”

She nodded stiffly and turned into the door Severus held open for them. He walked them through into his private laboratory where he poured two glasses of potion.

“Gods that smells awful!” Hermione coughed at the glass held before her.

“Tastes even better.” Remus said as Severus smirked. “Bottoms up.” He drank the glass in one go and shuddered.

Hermione followed suit. “Shite tastes better than this.”

“How would you know?” Severus asked, unable to hide his grin. He ducked her playful slap.

“I wouldn’t, it was a hypothetical observation.” She huffed. Suddenly Hermione felt a shudder run through her body. She held her stomach and fell to her knees. The two men looked out the window. It was just getting dark.

Severus paled. “Shield her, I’ll ward the doors.” The older wolf nodded, hoping they got to the potion in time. He picked the pup up and walked her into Severus’ quarters. He pushed the furniture against the walls with his wand and placed her down in the center of the room. Stepping back just as the cracking began. This time would be only slightly less painful than the first.

Hermione was aware of everything. She felt Remus pick her up and place her in the room. She began whimpering as she felt her body begin to shift. When the first bones cracked, she grunted with the pain, tears flowing down her face. Remus, looked helplessly on.

She rolled onto her hands and knees and relaxed her body like she did with her Yoga. She didn’t want to see the pain in Remus’ face. She was focused on not fighting the change this time. Once relaxed, her body began shifting at a faster pace. Without the fight it still hurt, but it was for a lesser span of time.

Her father watched helplessly as curled into herself focusing her mind on relaxing. She screamed in pain as each bone broke and reset, whimpering when the pain shot through her head as her jaw lengthened and teeth sharpened.

When the pain finally stopped, Hermione lay panting for a few moments before standing on weak legs. She shook herself out and looked around the room. The potion didn’t have much time to get through her system before the shift, so she wasn’t in complete control.

She smelled something familiar. Something like home. Like Pack.

Turning towards the door, the newly transformed wolf viewed a man standing. She growled lightly and earned a growl in response. “Loba”. She stalked towards him slowly and butted his leg with her head. He released a breath. Hermione nodded her head, but shook it no again. “Dual control? As long as Loba recognizes good and bad you will be ok. Mainly you need to focus on Harry in your mind as someone friendly. You need to remember him should you lose control. Remember that.” She nodded.

A bang on the door made them both jump. The brown wolf growled loudly at the figure in the doorway. She made her way forward as he stepped back. The wolf looked at Remus in question.

“Stay still Severus” he said. The dark man nodded. The wolf once again stepped forward, sniffing the man standing. She bumped her head against his leg, just as she had done to the older wolf. This man was also pack, but not wolf.

Hermione wasn’t in complete control, but the wolf in her understood what the night was about. Although wolf, Loba was not vicious or homicidal. She understood that without a win for the light this evening, she would be hunted by wizards wishing to harm her. Her pack would also be hunted. That in itself was unacceptable.

“The children and Slytherins are out.” Came the deep voice of the Professor.

“Good” Remus panted out. “I need to get outside before I change. Make sure the children know not to attack the wolves. I don’t want to scare them by being in the castle.”

“Go, Remus. I’ll take Hermione to the Great Hall.”

“The potion didn’t take completely Severus” Remus replied. “Talk to her as much as you can. Make sure no one makes any violent movements towards her.” Severus nodded as Remus ran out of the dungeons.

Hermione whimpered as Remus ran out. She could hear his cries from inside the castle. She looked up at the potions master, waiting for what to do.

“Follow me Loba” he said. She did as asked and watched as he closed the door behind them, putting up his wards. He led them out into the hallway and she watched as students pointed her out. Hermione fought the growl threatening to escape her throat as she explained to Loba. Friends, pups.

They walked into the great hall, Hermione temporarily hidden by the billow of the Professor in front of her. When the cape settled, there was a large intake of breath heard through the hall. Then complete silence. Hermione trotted up to Harry and bumped his hand with her muzzle. Ron tried to pet her side, but she snapped at him. Harry laughed as Ron jumped on the table.

“She nearly bit me!” he screamed.

“She wouldn’t bite you, you prat! You don’t touch her until she recognizes you. Plus you went for her flank first. Really Ron?” Harry was still laughing.

Hermione stood with her front paws against the seat as Ron leaned his hand down. She sniffed him and turned back towards the professor. She tugged on his robes until he was on his knees. She poked his temple with her cold nose. He jumped at the contact and looked at her quizzically. She poked him again, but his mouth first, then his temple.

“Speak through mind?” she nodded. “I’ve never tried it with a wolf…”

Quickly he performed leglimens, being gentle as to not aggravate the wolf.

“Hello Professor” he found her. He could hear the gentle growl in the back of her mind. “First I wanted to make sure this worked. Second, I need you to make sure the shield is up. There is no way a werewolf is going to get through that silver shield. It will keep the others out, but will also let us leave should we need to get away from the students.”

“Hermione, shields are up. Wizards will pass through unharmed and won’t even register it.” The wolf nodded.

“Be careful out there Professor.”

“You as well, dear one.”

He broke the link before she could reply to him. She licked his hand anyway, letting him know she heard.

They knew the time was upon them when the explosions began. They could hear and feel the shields buzzing around the castle as the Death Eaters tried to break through. A howl through the castle let them know Remus was out and on his way. Hermione met him at the door making sure it was Remus and not Moony.

Again, the crowd in the hall gasped. Hermione sniffed and walked around Remus. They rubbed muzzles quickly before she nodded at Severus.

Harry… green eyes… stood at the front of the Hall. “This is it. What we’ve been waiting for. To end this war. I have faith in each and every one of you. Let us end the innocent deaths and the rule of a tyrannical maniac!” A few chuckles accompanied the applause. “We all know he’s crazy.” More laughs. “Okay, remember students need to stay in groups of at least three. Try not to get separated. If you do, join another group. I need to ask you all not to attack the wolves.” A loud shout erupted and Harry had to yell over them. “I promise you they are on our side. Enemy wolves will not be able to get on the grounds and our wolves have taken precautions to ensure your safety.”

“Harry Potter Shhhow Yoursssself!” they heard Voldemort hissing. Hermione and Remus leaned forward, growling at the sound of the man’s voice.

Severus walked to Harry and put out his hand, which Harry accepted. “May the Gods watch over you.” He said and Harry replied in kind. They walked out together, Ron walking behind with the wolves following. Together they stepped into battle.

Hermione hit the grounds and immediately realized how quick her reflexes were. She could hear the crackle of magic as it was released from a wand, allowing her time to dive and avoid being hit. It was tiring work for the human mind and soon she felt Loba pushing at her trying to get complete control. Mentally exhausted from fighting the battle and the wolf, Hermione gave in, allowing the wolf to take over while Hermione kept herself in the background and made sure no innocents were attacked. She would throw images and scents of friends and family forward so Loba knew who to attack and who to protect. It was surprisingly efficient.

Not long after entering the battle Hermione was separated from Harry, Ron, Remus and Severus. Once she realized this, she dove into a bush to get her bearings and try to scent out her family. Her fur stood on end when she heard the hissing voice again.

“Ah, Harry Potter has given up and has come to die.” Voldemort cackled.

The wolf inside bristled at that. Harry Potter was green eyes. She needed to protect him.
