Chapter 4

Harry woke up slowly from the sleeping potion and felt comforted to hear Dorian humming again, the man had a nice voice from what he could tell and it was soothing. Harry sat up, surprised that he didn’t feel any pain. Dorian turned from the desk he was working at, “good evening Harry, I’m sorry did I wake you?”

Harry shook his head, “no, the potion must have worn off.”

The healer laughed softly, “that potion wore off about twenty minutes after you took it. It’s not dreamless sleep, it is a simple concoction meant to enable the sleeping process. Your own body let you sleep this long.”

Harry rubbed his eyes, after the clarity spell they figured out that the veiling spell and his glasses caused him a double whammy and when he was given the spell he no longer needed the glasses. He apparently had his mother’s eyesight too, which he would forever be grateful for. “How long have I been out?”

“About six hours, Fenrir, Remus, and Sirius have been building the three of you a hut, I believe it’s finished now and they are resting before the vampires rise.” Dorian chuckled at some joke that was lost on Harry. “I came in here to work; I found something interesting last year on my trip to southern Germany and it has been sticking in my mind more and more.” He turned and pulled a bag from under his desk and held it out to Harry, “here, these should fit you just fine. A simple pair of jeans and a T-shirt and over shirt, I don’t know if you want to wear the over shirt outside, but inside that Manor it does get a little chilly.”

Harry took the bag and opened it his eyes wide with wonder, “you didn’t have to go throu-”

“I swear if you tell me it was trouble I will not hesitate to hex you with something mild but effective. It was no trouble Harry. You very well can’t go walking around the Manor naked now can you? Well I mean you could, but I don’t think you would want to do that.”

Harry blushed deeply but smiled his thank you at the man as he pulled the clothing out. Dorian dutifully turned his back as Harry dressed, his quill scratching at the paper again. Harry pulled a simple pair of black boxers over his hips then the jeans that were fitted to his size and a T-shirt that wasn’t overly baggy but clung to his shoulders and was a soft black cotton and the over shirt was a deep green and black flannel. He set that aside and stood up walking over to Dorian and looking over his shoulder. “So what are you working on?”

“When I was in Germany I spent a great deal of time in the Black Forest, ran into a group of werewolves, but they don’t call themselves that. They call themselves Mann-Hund which-”

“Man dog…”

Dorian’s eyebrows shot up, “very good, abet a little bit of an insult if you ask me, we are more than dogs. But the name was given and it stuck. Anyway, they fallowed a very old way, sticking to rituals instead of wand magic. It was all very fascinating; I stayed there for well over six months. Their Alpha was a woman by the name of Gretl Silverstar, in her wolf form she held a silver star in the middle of her forehead.” He shrugged, “but she was knowledgeable. She was well over 100 years old, strongest Alpha I had ever seen next to Fenrir, I would hate to see them fight, it would be a blood bath. She showed me some very interesting things; they were using complete natural remedies to counter effect the Wolvesbane potion. I-” The door opened and Remus stuck his head in.

“Sorry, I hope I’m not disturbing you, I came to check on Harry.”

“I’m awake Remus, I was just asking Dorian about his trip to Germany, but since you’re here I’m going to guess we have to go see Snape and Voldemort.”

Remus nodded, “yes, are you sure you are up for it Harry?”

Harry nodded and offered his Griffindor Grin, “yeah, I feel fantastic thanks to Dorian and honestly things are starting to make a lot of sense, I want to see if they can maybe offer up some kind of insight to everything. I promise to keep my temper in check.”

Remus snorted and hugged his pup, “I would believe that, only if you were anyone else’s son besides James. I am proud of you Harry, you are being very level headed about this, and you have grown up so much.” He cupped the boy’s face in his hands, “Lily and James would be proud of you, you are everything they hoped you would be, strong, independent, kind, caring, and even a star quidditch player. Now let’s go, from what I understand there is a dinner waiting for us at the Manor.”

Dorian smiled and pushed them to the door, “go on you two, Harry we can talk more tomorrow morning, and I will show you and Remus and Sirius around the Pack and you can get to know everyone.”

Harry smiled before fallowing Remus out to where Sirius was talking with Fenrir. Harry had been a little worried seeing the male werewolf, mostly from all the stories about just how crazy he was. Now with the veil of his eyes lifted he looked at the wolf. Fenrir Greyback was still huge, well over six foot and built like a weight lifter. His bicep alone had to be as big as Harry’s whole torso, and his hair, that Harry had always thought was just grey was actually silvery blond and fell to his shoulders in wind swept waves. His skin was lightly tanned and pulled tightly over the bulging muscles of his whole upper body that was bared to them. He had a dusting of hair across his chest that fallowed down his body. Harry snapped his eyes back up to his face and felt himself floored. The face he had known was nothing like what he was looking at now. Fenrir had dark blue eyes set beneath a strong brow, a sloping strong nose, and a strong jaw. Harry felt his eyes drawn to the Alpha’s lips and they were pulled into a smile, and Harry caught the barest hint of fangs, that made his stomach clench but not in fear. Harry felt confused by his reaction to the wolf as he was led closer to him.

Fenrir smiled down at his intended mate, “it’s good to see you up and about Harry, Sirius and Remus were practically distraught with worry. Had to put them to work to get them to stop checking up on you every five minutes.”

Harry actually laughed, surprising himself and the other men around him. “Sirius actually did manual labor? Now that I am sorry I was asleep to see.”

Sirius pouted, “you act like I am some delicate pureblood-”

“Which you are.” Remus quipped with a grin.

Fenrir and Harry chuckled at the look on Sirius’s face before Fenrir sobered up, “we should get moving. It looks like life is returning to the Manor as the vampires wake up. Dinner will be served shortly.” He laid his hand on Harry’s shoulder, smiling as the boy didn’t pull away.

Harry felt comforted by the hand on his shoulder and found himself wanting to step closer and take in more of the warmth that radiated from the older wolfs skin. His brow knitted at he glanced up from under his bangs trying to figure out what it was about the older wolf that made him want to be close to him. He watched as Fenrir talked with Remus and he felt his heart flutter at the dark blue eyes that danced in the sunlight. He felt Fenrir’s thumb brush against his neck idly, and it sent shivers running through his body and he had to bite back the small sound that wanted to escape from his throat.

Fenrir bit back the moan that threatened to slip from his mouth as he caught the sharp scent of need from his little intended. His eyes caught the small curious looks Harry gave him and he viciously beat back his wolf who wanted him to pick little Harry up and take him to a nice quiet place to stake his claim as his mate. He blew out a long breath and rubbed his thumb against Harry’s neck lightly. “We better get going.” He pushed Harry lightly to get him walking as the four of them up to the Manor. He opened the door to the Manor and smiled at Harry.

Harry hesitated on the doorstep trying to calm his racing heart. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up at Sirius. “You don’t have to come Harry, we can talk to them while you stay with Dorian.” His godfather said softly.

Harry took a deep breath, “I need to go in Siri…I need…need to see with my own eyes what is happening. I never truly believe anything until I can look for myself. Besides you won’t let anything happen to me, as long as I have you and Remus I know I’ll be safe.”

Sirius smiled and nodded, “I’m always going to be here for you pup.” He leaned down and kissed his forehead, “I love you kid.”

Harry smiled as his heart swelled, knowing that it was true, that someone did love and care for him. “Love you too Siri.” He said softly as he squeezed his godfather’s hand and walked into the Manor.

Fenrir walked in after them and lead them down the long hallway to a door where light flickered out from the crack in the door. He opened the door, walking in first before holding it open for Harry, Sirius, and Remus. His gaze swept the room taking in who was all there. He saw four seats open, two between Severus and Bellatrix and the other two across from the empty chairs between Peter and Lucius Malfoy. He saw Tom sitting at the head of the table, who shakily got to his feet with the help of Severus.

Tom attempted a shaky smile as he held his hands wide. “Thank you for coming, please sit down. Dinner should be served shortly, drinks were just poured.” His dark eyes were trained on Harry who stood stiff and close to Sirius’s side. Movement caught his eye as he saw Bellatrix stand up, and he held his breath to watch what would happen.

Sirius stepped slightly forward blocking Harry and Remus with his body as he watched his cousin get up from her chair. He watched her through his now clear eyes and swore under his breath. She was still tall and thin, from her time in Azkaban, her hair was still wild around her head, but instead of looking unkempt it was in tight black curls that gave her a classy messy look. She was still beautiful like any of the Black women, his gaze then lifted to her eyes but instead of her madness he was used to seeing he saw caution, intelligence, and hope in those dark eyes.

Bellatrix moved to her cousin slowly, unsure as to how he would react. She remembered how sweet of a little boy he had been, always tailing after her and Narcissa trying to learn all the spells he could from them before going off to Hogwarts. Once there that all changed, he became a Griffindor and was burned from the family tree which broke her aunts heart to no end. Looking at him now she couldn’t help but appreciate the man he grew into. He was tall and strong like all the Black men, his hair was pulled back and fell to his upper back, his grey eyes shaded lightly with blue, and his face holding all that pure blood handsomeness that made women pine over him, he even looked healthier than he had in Azkaban and for that she was glad he regained his youthful look. She stepped forward and embraced him, not caring if he would hex her, but praying he would embrace her back. “Siri…you’ve come home.” She whispered, tears filling her eyes.

Without thinking his arms wrapped around her, he sighed and rested his hands on her shoulders and pushed her back to arm’s length to look at her. “You’ve got some color back Bella, though you do need to spend a little more time in the sun.” He offered a shaky smile to her.

Bellatrix laughed and hugged him again, “you always said the same thing when we were children. You hated being pale so you spent all your time outside, built up a good tan. Does…Does this mean you remember how much we loved you? How much you loved the family back?” Her dark eyes flared with hope.

Sirius shook his head, “no…not really. I caught a few hours of sleep earlier and saw a few flashes, nothing like I originally remember. But seeing you now…it makes a lot of sense, yeah I know that the Blacks have a bit of a crazy streak, but that’s still family. Thinking back now, the fight with Mum and Dad, the fall out with you Cissa and everyone else just doesn’t make sense, neither does me going into Griffindor.”

“You’re right to trust your instincts Sirius.” Tom said from the head of the table. “Bella is a dear friend, she mourned the loss of your companionship and your love, I admit it did drive her insane, but with Albus being the one to pull all the strings at the Ministry he turned a perfect case of self-defense into a case where they could throw her into Azkaban. Come sit please, we can discuss these things further.” He motioned to the empty chairs.

Bellatrix took Sirius’s hand with a smile and led him over to the chair next to hers. Remus sat down next to Sirius and Fenrir led Harry to the opposite two chairs, only to stop when the boy did not moving closer to where Peter sat. Fenrir leaned down, “what is it precious one?” He growled softly, keeping his voice low.

“I-I don’t know if I can face him…I know what Remus and Sirius said and showed me. I’ve been told for the last four years that he betrayed my parents, he also sliced my arm open by carving the Dark Mark into my skin to bring back Voldemort…Tom…whoever…it’s…it’s a little overwhelming.”

Fenrir nodded pressing his nose into Harry’s hair, nuzzling him and growling soothingly. “I’m right here precious one, Remus and Sirius are right across the table to you. I swear on my pack that no one will harm you.”

Harry shivered and found himself leaning and trusting the voice in his ear. Everything in him wanted him to crawl into his lap and cuddle into the bulk of the wolf. Harry pulled himself back looking at Fenrir before turning and bolting out of the room. Sirius and Remus were on their feet yelling after him, Sirius glared at Fenrir. “What did you tell him?” He barked.

“I told him I would keep him safe, that no one would hurt him, he was overwhelmed by what was going on! Can you blame the poor boy?” The wolf snarled.

“You must have said something to make him run like that.” Sirius started to go when Tom’s cool voice stopped him.

“Let him go Sirius…give him a moment to think with his own thoughts, I agree with him that this is overwhelming, but having you, his godfather, chase after him it could do more damage than good. Not because you love him and want to protect him, but because you are in the same boat as him. Before yesterday you thought all of us sitting at this table were vile evil beings and Albus Dumbledore was helping build a world safe for everyone with Harry standing on that pillar of light and justice. Fenrir don’t you go chasing after him either, he knows you as a monster, painted by the Ministry as a crazed beast who likes the taste of children’s blood on your tongue. No better than say a pedophile in the Muggle world.” Tom said, his breathing going labored as Peter got up for something from a cabinet.

Severus slowly stood up and helped Tom back into his chair, “sit love, Peter will get you some blood. I will go find the boy.”

Tom’s dark eyes looked up at him, “Severus, he views you-”

“As his professor, I have taught the boy for four years, I have not been overly kind to him nor have I been truly harsh with him. I have taught him and I have also protected him. I treated him as fairly as I would any student…well any student that wasn’t in Slytherin House, I am aloud to show favoritism to my own house after all, Head of House prerogative.” He heard a few laughs from the ex Slytherin’s and even saw Draco Malfoy stand up. “Something you want to say Draco?”

“I’m going with you Uncle Severus, Potter views me as his rival but we are honest ones. He knows I have no reason to lie or proclaim my love for him or his Griffindor friends, so he might view me in the same light as you.”

Severus shook his head, “not this time Draco. While he might not view you as a friend, he still views you as a Slytherin. You are peers, while my relationship with Mr. Potter is purely Professor/Student.”

Tom nodded, “you make a valid point Severus, go. Draco will stay here, and we will begin serving dinner. But please Severus, bring him back. He is very thin, he needs to eat.”

Severus nodded as he swept out of the room, outside of the doors. Once out of the room he relaxed himself and let himself fallow the scent of Harry, a strangely sickly sweet smell like a honeysuckle. He fallowed it to one of the parlors where Tom kept his art things, Severus himself found it quite amusing that the great Dark Lord Voldemort liked to spend some evenings with a paintbrush in hand and a blank canvas set up before him. He stopped in the doorway to see Harry examining Tom’s latest work, a simple landscape piece that was a picture of the last full moon when the Pack did their natural change and run. “Tom painted that, he say’s it’s not finished yet, he wants it perfect before he gifts it to Fenrir.”

Harry whipped around, his green eyes large. “What do you want?”

“Simply to talk Mr. Potter. I want to know your feelings on things and see how you are adjusting.”

Harry snorted. “I’m surprised you even care, you hated my dad and you hate me. Hell you even said the only thing I got from my mum was her eyes, all you ever see is James Potter…even though I have no idea who that man is beyond the stories and what people boast about him…I get stuck in his shadow.”

Severus weighed every word carefully, he saw the point Harry made, at first he was angry, saying things only because he was James’ son. Yet the more he looked at Harry, the more he saw Lily than his tormentor. While Severus and James never got along like friends they held a mutual understanding that Lily was not going to give up either of them. “You are right Harry.” The older man agreed.

“Can you run that by me again?” Harry asked his eyes drawn in confusion.

“Don’t get cheeky Mr. Potter. I said you are right, you got stuck in his shadow. In everything from how people viewed you to how you were treated at the school. I regret my actions to you, I never allowed you to be just you…never got to know Harry, instead I saw you only as the son of James Potter. While your father and I were not friends, we did agree, that for your mother’s sake, we would attempt to be civil. Your father and I rarely spoke, and I kept up correspondence with your mother probably once a month? General updates, things like that. I tried to find you when Albus took you, every time I tried he just brushed me off saying you were safe with family. I knew it had to be Lily’s family, but I didn’t know who. I had no idea Petunia had married, or that she had moved. I saw what happened to you, while I was healing you and all I could think was that Lily would have my hide then go tearing through Hogwarts to get a piece of Albus. Your mother was terrifying when she was rightfully angry, knew some very nasty spells too.”

“You really did love my mum.”

“Purely as a friend Harry, your mother was my best friend. We were close through childhood, she gave me an escape from my abusive father. She never viewed me as more than a friend either. I’m gay Harry, I have been in a relationship with Tom since I was…oh I think 18.” Severus waved his hand in front of his face, “I doubt you want to hear about that, I wanted to see how you were doing. I know you probably think me a git, but I push you because I know you can be more. I have never treated you any differently than any student in my class, except for Draco, but he is as you Griffindors put it, one of my Snakes. I am Head of Slytherin House after all.”

Harry couldn’t help but laugh, “yeah, same can probably be said about Professor McGonagall.” Harry’s laughter faded as he looked up at Severus, “I’m scared Professor…I feel like my world is turned upside down.” Tears fell from his eyes as he lowered his face, his shoulders shaking. “Everything I have ever been told is a lie. What about my friends? Ron and Hermione? The Twins, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley? Did they all lie to me too? Did Dumbledore know that I was being raped and beaten within an inch of my life? Why did he let it happen?” Harry’s hands came up to his face as he sobbed into his hands.

Severus walked over and knelt down pulling the boy to him and holding him tight. “I wish I could answer that for you Harry, I truly do. The only thing I can offer you is a safe haven. You never have to go back to that horrid home, you will have Sirius and Remus here for you.”

“What about school? Or hell even the Tracer that is on my wand?”

“None of that can be traced here, as for schooling each one of the people living here are well versed in many different areas of expertise, Bellatrix is a talented Charms caster, Lucius is well versed in Arithmacy and History of Magic, Narcissa is a talented dullest and Tom can fling spells around as well as anyone else, even better. You will have me to teach you Potions, even though I do know that you lack very highly in that area. And of course you have Sirius who is talented it seems in both Transfiguration and healing spells and Remus who is a talented in Defensive Spells. I believe that you will gain a better education from the people under this roof than you ever would in that castle. That is if you feel comfortable enough to trust us in teaching you.”

Harry sighed, “What will happen when people find out I’m gone?”

“That is not an issue, while they tear up the world looking for you you will have everything you have ever desired.”

Harry cut him a sharp look, “and what do you know that I want?”

“You want a family, people to love and care for you. A place you can feel safe in and call home, you also want to be yourself. Not The Golden Boy or the Boy-Who-Lived. You want to be just Harry.” Severus said smoothly.

Harry blinked at the vampire, “how did you know?”

Severus sighed, “because I was in the same place as you. My father was abusive, my mother distant I may as well have been an orphan. Hogwarts was my safe haven, my home. The teachers, my friends, they were everything to me. Albus seemed like the kind grandfather I never had, then I learned the truth and it shook my world. I felt like the world was turned on its ear, I didn’t know which way was up. It was like drowning in the ocean, looking up and seeing the sunlight through the waves but never being able to break the surface except to take a quick breath before being sucked back down.”

Harry nodded, “yeah, that’s just right. But there’s something else.” Harry shuffled his feet uncomfortably, “I think…I think I might be gay.”

Severus quirked an eyebrow, “you think?”

“Ever since I woke up, when I’m around Fenrir I feel…strange. I find myself wanting to crawl into his lap, or…or leaning into his touch. His touch sends these little shocks down my spine and I get lightheaded or butterflies…I don’t understand. I mean I thought I liked girls, I had a crush on Cho Chang.”

Severus contemplated for a moment, “Harry, do you know anything about werewolves and their mates?”

“A little, I know that Remus and Sirius are mates, Remus is the submissive where Sirius is the Dominate. Remus said he knew that Sirius was his mate because of his compulsion to do anything for him, and he liked even the smallest touch, like their hands touching or something like that.”

“A very simple summery yes, seems like they aren’t entirely comfortable with talking about being intimate with you yet. My suggestion, should you take it, is to talk to Fenrir. Don’t be a Griffindor on this one Harry, just talk with him. I can assure you Fenrir would rather die than hurt you.”

Harry regarded his professor, but he did notice that his mind was considerably lighter. “Professor?”

“I think in these walls Harry you can call me Severus, I want us to try to relearn how to deal with each other. If you can get to know the man few know I can get to know the boy that no one knows.”

Harry nodded and smiled, “I think I can do that.”

Severus nodded as he slowly got to his feet again, “I have to admit, you are taking all of this rather well.”

He shrugged, “I learned a long time ago that my life is always going to be insane, I learned to take everything step by step, my questions are being answered and no one is forcing me into anything. I can think and go at things my own way, as quickly or as slowly as I wish. Having Sirius and Remus here help a lot, they are really the only people who offered anything up besides my family name and my father’s legacy. The fact that you aren’t barking at me or sneering makes it easier too.”

Severus chuckled and patted his shoulder, “are you ready to eat now Harry? You don’t have to sit next to Peter if you don’t wish, but I do believe that Fenrir was telling the truth when he said that no one would hurt you on his watch. You are pack now, being Remus’s pup, you have a family now.”

Harry looked up at him in wonderment as he thought about the prospect. He had a family now, and a place he could feel safe. Granted it was a little weird with the people he was around, but with Sirius and Remus around, he felt like he could do anything and handle anything thrown at him. “Food sounds great.” He smiled fallowing Severus back into the dining room.
