Fenir was standing at the far side of the healer's hut when Maya found him, arms crossed in front of him, staring dangerously down at the sleeping wizard. Maya hung at the doorway watching him as his brow furrowed, struggling with his thoughts, silent and motionless.
"Maybe Ram is right," Maya came in further though Fenir remained still, his eyes not moving from Harry on the bed. "Maybe I am just looking for an excuse to keep him."
"Maybe doesn't mean your wrong though." Maya said as he walked over to check on the sleeping child. His fever was down and some colour was returning to his cheeks. The children's potions seemed to be doing the trick.
"I could've ripped his throat out right then, over an enemy wizard. Even now I am struggling to keep myself away."
"You said it yourself there is some sort of power he has, something that isn't wizard. Lupin said the same too. Maybe this is how it is meant to be." Maya left the invalid's beside and joined Fenir against the wall. "Excuse or no excuse he has suffered at the hands of wizards and I, for one, believe that he deserves a chance.
"We can't hide this from The Dark Lord. If we even attempt it he will destroy us."
"At least give him a chance to recover. He is responding well to my treatments, if we wait a few days he will at least be well enough to answer questions. If you contact the wizards now I doubt he will survive the transfer to Hogwarts."
"If would give us a little time to decide what to do, at any rate." Fenir pushed himself from the wall and came closer to the bed. "Now all I have to do is sell it to them." He motioned his head towards the door and the pack outside.
"Lupin should be an easy sell, he is our lost son, after all. El won't hear a bad word said against him."
"And what about Potter? There is no way they are going to support this unless we bring them into see him but if we bring the doms in it will most likely cause a riot."
"Leave Potter to me. I can get it across to them."
Fenir nodded. The small healer was very persuasive we he put his mind to it plus he knew more about Potter's injuries. "Okay then, we will gather everyone together as soon as possible."
Maya nodded. "I will just make sure he isn't in pain then I will be out."
Fenir ran his hand over the sleeping boy's forehead.
"You need to leave him, Fenir. He will be fine, I will take good care of him."
"Why do I feel like this, Maya? It is like he is in my blood. I could've killed Ram earlier, just for speaking badly of him. I don't under…"
Maya lay a calming hand on his arm. "We don't know much about anything at the moment. All we can do at the moment is try to make him safe so we can discover what he is."
"Yes, you're right." Fenir withdrew his hand and stepped backwards. "I will go and gather the pack. Finish up here and come to the circle." Fenir didn't wait for a response, turning and striding out of the hut.
**~~**
The entire pack was assembled in the circle when Maya emerged from the hut. There was a low hum of excitement permeating through the group but they remained silent. Even the pups, who could barely contain their enthusiasm, remained silent as they struggled to release themselves from their mother's grip. Well all except Pelim who was trying to wrestle free from his father. Maya gave a soft smile and made her way over to the pack to sit beside her mate and child.
Fenir stood up and all eyes turned to him.
"I know you all have been waiting to find out about our late night visitors." Fenir took a breath. He had no clue how to start, let alone how to finish. "The dom we discovered was Remus Lupin." It was probably a little blunt, judging from the pained look Maya was giving him, but he was not a man who minced his words. The gasp from the pack was more than audible. Saf pulled young Rich up to her lap, holding him close to her whilst Evan pulled his mate close to him to comfort her.
"My little Remmy?" Elouise sniffed, small tears making their way slowly down her cheeks. "He's come back to us?"
Fenir nodded. This was exactly what Maya had predicted would happen. Elouise had been almost a surrogate mother to Lupin when he had been with the pack and her defense of him since had always been resolute.
"Yes, he is weak and injured and suffering from Wolfsbain withdrawal."
Elouise gave another choked sob and buried her face into her mate's shoulder.
"But he is strong and is already recovering well."
"What does he want?" The question came from the far side of the circle, Han.
Fenir took another deep breath. This was it, maybe he should've practiced this with Maya before he had called them all together.
"He has come to us to ask for protection."
"Why would he need our protection? Auror friends loosing their power?" Han's eyebrow went up and his voice lowered into a growl. "Last time we saw him he seemed perfectly fine on the opposite side of the battle field."
"Bite your tongue!" Elouise shouted. She tried to stand by Evan held her back. "You know nothing! Nothing! He is one of ours, taken from us!"
"El, El, shhhh." Evan hushed, once again bringing his crying mate into his shoulder.
Fenir was angry but tried to keep his temper. Most of his pack had never met Lupin, only Elouise, Evan, Ram and Namile remained from the original pack his father had left him all those years ago. He was just a legend to most of them, a vision in the battlefield, but to the rest of them he was that scared little boy Fenir had bought back to their campsite.
"What he was doesn't matter we have always tried to help those who were led astray by the wizards. If he succumbs to the Wolfsbain then so be it but we will try. That is not the reason he has returned. He has asked for our protection for the boy he bought with him."
"The young sub?" Nero asked. He remember his shock at seeing the pup wrapped caked in mud two evening's ago.
Fenir hung his head. "He is no wolf. He is a human, a wizard, he is…"
Maya stood and interrupted him. "He has been badly beaten and abused from a very young age, probably starved as well, by the wizards. He is in a bad way. I would guess that he has become some kind of surrogate pack for Lupin which is why he has gone to such lengths to secure his safety."
Fenir looked around the pack. All their faces were blank, not really sure what to make of what was going on, he barely knew what to make of it. Maya seemed to be playing it right though, making him as much of a victim of the wizards as they had been before telling them who he was. He was missing out a chunk of their argument though. "He is special as well, there is something about him which makes him smell like a sub, like he's a wolf. I don't know what he is but it isn't something we can discount."
Ram snorted and drew the pack's attention towards him but remained quiet.
"There's something you're not telling us." Claw said, turning from Ram back to his Alpha.
Fenir hung his head as the rest of the pack turned their attention back to him. "The boy is Harry Potter."
A/N dum dum dum. What will the pack do? Tune in for our next instalment when I have time to write it.
