AN: Sorry that this has taken so long. A lot of things have led up to me not writing anything for a while. But the big one was a nasty case of writers block brought on by the depression I have been feeling since I was laid off. I am doing better though and hope to get onto a more regular writing schedule. Please be patient with me. I am trying to do better at updating.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry awoke from a sound, peaceful sleep. It surprised him every morning that he hadn't yet had a nightmare. After so many years of nightmares and terrifying visions of the Dark Lord if was an unsettling thing almost. Still, Harry couldn't help but smile.

Voldemort was dead, he had escaped the most recent ministry plot, he had a place that he could call home and most importantly he had family. Everything he had ever dreamed of since he was a child, and it was all right here. His.

Harry laughed, rolling across the bed. The blankets wrapping in a tangled net about him. The bed slid beneath him and with a thud Harry found himself on the floor.

A knock at the door sounded and Harry looked towards the door trying to decide how best to get out of the mass of blankets before any of his new family saw him. Unfortunately luck wasn't with Harry this morning and Charlotte walked in.

"Umm...Good morning..." Harry blushed Gryffindor red all the way to the tips of his ears.

"Good morning, Harry." Charlotte smiled down at him. "A bit tangled up aren't you? Well budge over a bit and I'll help get you free." Charlotte moved towards him and Harry began frantically trying to free himself.

"It's okay, really! I can get myself out."

Charlotte smiled down at him,but didn't stop trying to help Harry free himself. Within a few quick tugs and rolls Charlotte had him free from the tangled bed-sheets. She patted his head affectionally, "Don't take too long. Breakfast is waiting for you downstairs," before heading out of the room.

Harry stood up and brushed himself off. Today was going to be a big day. It would be his first day seeing Richard since they had first met. He was overly excited to see his cousin again, he admitted. Mostly because he still hadn't decided how to approach the whole werewolf issue. Do I admit I know? Or do I wait for Richard to bring it up? What if Richard's family doesn't know that he is a werewolf? Harry ran his hands through his already messy hair. Damn, but this is sooo f-ing confusing. I think just waiting is probably the safest bet. But I want him to know that I know. That I won't think any less of him or Jamil because of what they are.

Harry pulled the green jumper over his head and practically shoved himself into his jeans before heading down the stairs to the kitchen. Perhaps the issue would resolve itself for him and make his life just a tiny bit easier.

~*~*~*~2 hours later~*~*~*~

Harry could hardly sit still. Richard would be here any minute now. It was all very exciting and new for Harry. He now had a family that welcomed him with love, who didn't try to hide him away whenever anyone came by the house. They gladly took him out with them whenever they had to go somewhere, even if it was just down the street to the grocery. And now Richard was taking him to the zoo! He was getting to go to the zoo and then off to lunch with Richard and he wasn't just a tag along who was only going because no-one else could take him. He was going because someone WANTED to take him!

There was a small sound of breaking glass and Harry whipped his head around. The small glass candy dish that had been sitting on the coffee table next to Harry had shattered. Bloody Hell! Thank Merlin no one else is in here with me. I must be seriously leaking magic! Alright, Harry, calm and center...calm and center. Little by little Harry's magic pulled itself back into his core, his shields drawing closed around it. It wouldn't do for any of the dark witches and wizards of Saint Louise to sense his presence. A quick Reparo fixed the dish with no-one the wiser. The sound of a car alarm beeping brought Harry out of his reverie.

Richard had arrived.

Harry was out of the chair and at the door before anyone else in the house was able to get out of their seats in the kitchen. Harry flung open the door, obviously startling Richard. The taller man looked down at him in shock, before his face was split wide in a grin. "A bit excited are we?"

Harry was practically jumping. He didn't even care if Richard was making fun of him. "Can we go now? Will it take long to get there? What kind of animals do they have?"

Richard quickly put his hand over Harry's mouth stopping the babble of questions spewing fourth from his young cousin. He could feel Harry smile beneath his hand. His green eyes were sparkling up at him and Richard couldn't help the warmth that filled him as he looked into those eyes. Something about his young cousin pulled at every protective instinct he had, even the wolfs. It had scared him that first night when Harry had arrived. But now...now he found it almost comforting knowing that his wolf could feel something so incredibly gentle towards another. "If you don't calm down, I'll have to leave you here. Can't have you running around scaring the animals, now can we?"

Harry pulled Richard's hand from his face. "I can do calm, really. I'm just excited. I've only ever been to the zoo once and we didn't get to stay very long."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Dudley got into one of the snake cages and my uncle got really mad."

Richard just nodded, not sure what to make of the story. Something told him that wasn't even close to the whole story. "Well then, we had best get in the car before Jamil comes looking for us."

"Mr. Jamil is coming too?"

Richard nodded and lead Harry towards his car. He could see Jamil through the window obviously getting ready to come out after them. The dark wolf had also shown signs of the protective instinct that Richard had been feeling. The fact that Jamil was feeling protective of Harry please Richard in ways he didn't quite understand yet.

Harry greeted Jamil with the same enthusiasm that he had Richard. He couldn't help it. These two men had been nothing but kind to him, they didn't ask Harry anything that he didn't want to answer and they talked with him as if he was truly a member of the Zeeman family and their friend. the only other people to ever do that for him were the Weasleys. It was heart-warming knowing that his family was growing.

~*~*~*~St Louis Zoo~*~*~*~

Jamil watched the young man that was his Ulfric's cousin. Jamil was still trying to figure out what that strange electrical surge up his arm had been the first time he had met Harry Potter. He did not think the boy was a lycanthrope, but he wasn't positive. Something about him kept screaming 'animal'! It made him a bit wary. He liked the boy, felt protective of him even, and that made him even warier. The boy seemed so innocent and yet there were brief glimpse of a damaged child that showed up in his eyes every now and then.

"Mr. Jamil!" Jamil looked down at his hand startled. The boy, Harry, was holding it, tugging him forward. "Come on! We're almost at the Reptile house!"

Jamil internally sighed and let himself be pulled forward into the Reptile House, past a smirking Ulfric. It was going to be a long day, he was sure.

"So Harry," Richard asked calmly,"You mentioned that you got to go to the zoo in London?"

"Yeah, with the Dursley's. They were taking Dudley to the zoo for his birthday. Ms. Figg, she lived down the way from the Dursley's, couldn't watch me for them so they had to take me with them."

Richard looked saddened at what his young cousin was saying and Jamil could understand why. What the boy said and what he didn't say kept painting a bad picture of his other relatives. Jamil turned back to look at Harry who was now standing in front of one of the cages watching a rather attractive blue-gray snake. He was smiling and making 'hissing' noises at the snake who was raised up in what looked like an attacked position. THe snake was swaying and seemed to be 'hissing' back at Harry.

"The snake seems to like you, Harry."

Harry smiled back at Richard and Jamil. "Yeah. She seems like a nice snake."

Jamil cocked his head to the side. "Do you like snakes?"

"Yes. I was thinking about maybe getting a degree for Herpetology at some point. There are a lot of snakes that are going extinct and no-one really cares because snakes are seen as 'evil' creatures by so many people just because of some stupid religion that was written centuries ago."

Richard watched his cousin carefully. "You aren't very religious are you?"

"I have nothing against religion. I just think that people make too much of it. They forget that what they praise as the 'Word of God' was written by men. Men aren't infallible. What they would personally or culturally consider as 'bad' or 'evil' could easily have been added in by them. And they could have easily done so saying that God thought that this was a sin and that made you evil and no-one would question it." Harry ran his hand through his hair and moved away from the Bolkar Viper cage. "This doesn't mean I don't believe that there is a God. It just means that I am not willing to simply take the words of men long dead as being the Word of God."

"That's quite an adult view. I don't think that I have ever heard someone speak of religion quite in that way."

Harry shrugged and moved in front of the cage holding the Northern Death Adder. "I think that as long as we treat each other with respect and love and that we help those who need it God would still see us as good people." Harry again smiled and paused to hiss at the snake that had quickly moved to the front of the cage. "Someone once told me that when they looked at religion closely they could see only one true message and that it could easily be found in almost every religion on the planet. But because of everything that men had built up the message that God first gave us and the message that people now hold as truth aren't the same. The Message and the Word are not the same."

Jamil was more than surprised by the boy. He sometimes seemed like two people the way he could go from innocent, naive boy to an intelligent and insightful young man. And standing before them, seeming to be talking to a rather venomous snake, was that intelligent and insightful young man.

Harry looked up at the two of them, his eyes intense and rather sad. "Can we not talk about this anymore."

"Of course." Richard wrapped his arm over the younger man shoulders. "Why don't we finished looking through the house and then stop for lunch before finishing looking around the zoo?"

Harry smiled a small but real smile. "Lets."

~*~*~*~2 Hours Later~*~*~*~

The three were back in the car happily exhausted after half a day of walking all over the zoo. Richard had to admit he had never enjoyed the zoo quite as much as he had today. Harry had opened up and shared more of himself with him and even with Jamil. That really made him smile. Harry seemed to be able to get the stoic wolf to open up a bit as well. A month ago he never would have allowed a stranger grab ahold of him as he let Harry do. All and all Harry seemed to be easing into life with his family in such a manner that people weren't always aware that they were growing more fond of him by the minute. Of course had loved the boy the moment she saw him.

He chuckled fondly at the memory. Every time he saw the two of them together his mother was smiling and hugging Harry. Harry had quickly become the youngest Zeeman boy in his mothers eyes. He wouldn't want to be anyone threatening Harry if his mother was around. Of course he had noticed the same loving and protective look in Harry's eyes. It was obvious the boy wouldn't let anyone hurt Charlotte Zeeman.

Things were definitely going good in his life for once.

AN:Well thigs seem to be going well. Harry is trying to show a little of his magical abilities to Richard and Jamil without it being to obvious. So we shall have to see if the two wolves realize exactly what Harry was doing t the zoo.
