(U)Chapter Six(U)
Even though Bella hadn't admitted it out loud Draco could see how worried she was about Jacob and his mystery illness. Draco was worried for a different reason, could this mystery illness be something to do with Teddy's odd prediction…Draco really hope not. Please, please just be a bad case of the flu Draco silently begged whoever was listening.
"Do you feel it?" Harry asked as he stood, holding a drowsy Teddy in his arms, on the back porch of the house, watching a storm cloud build over head. Draco lowered himself into one of the comfortable chairs Narcissa had bought for the porch, letting his school bag drop by his feet.
"What?" he asked.
"The magic in the air," Harry said, "Like that storm cloud, growing and growing. It's what I used to feel coming from Voldemort." Draco shuddered at the name and his hand moved up to rub the back of his neck, for the first time noticing the soft of aching tingle there.
"Yes," he said softly, "I hadn't noticed but now you've said…well yes."
"Something's happening," Harry muttered softly.
"Something good or something bad?" Draco asked softly.
"I can't tell," Harry said sadly. Teddy squirmed in his arms, stretching out before curling up tighter in Harry's arms and actually falling asleep. "But I get the feeling this isn't going to end well."
The week ended quickly, time seeing the fly by and the two young wizards spent Saturday trying to entertain a grumbling Teddy. It was the day of the full moon and as Harry had warned nothing could please the little half-werewolf and many times he'd snapped at them with his teeth as they tried to comfort him. Draco was bouncing him on his lap as if he'd been doing it for years when the doorbell rang loudly. Narcissa, who had been reading a book in the front room answered the door.
"Oh hello Bella, here to see Draco?" she asked loudly, "He's in the kitchen with Harry and Teddy." Both teenage wizards looked up as a very pale Bella rushed in. Her hair was a mess like she'd been running and her jeans covered in dirt.
"Bella? Are you all right?" Draco asked worriedly.
"Yes, Draco I need to talk to you," she said quickly, "Alone."
"You can say anything in front of Harry," Draco said softly.
"No I can't," she shook her head.
"Yes, you can," Draco repeated, "He knows."
"You told him?" she asked, shocked.
"I can keep a secret," Harry smiled at her.
"What is it?" Draco asked, nodding to one of the empty seat. Bella let out a loud sigh as she dropped into it.
"Have you heard about the bear sightings and the missing hiker?" Bella asked quickly. They shook their heads. They hadn't heard anything of the sorts. "I went hiking today and…well I found Laurent."
"Laurent!" Draco gasped, stiffening. Teddy made a sound of annoyance but whether it was from his seat suddenly becoming uncomfortable or just the approaching moon Draco didn't know.
"We talked," Bella continued softly.
"You talked with the vampire who was with James and Victoria?" Draco asked shocked, "You do remember that James tried to kill you, right?"
"Yes but it was all right, he didn't hurt me. He wanted to, had it all planned and I now because he told me but…" Bella protested, "Well that doesn't matter. It wasn't so much my bumping into him that I wanted to tell you about. It was what caused him to leave."
"What?" Draco asked.
"A pack of giant wolves chased him away."
Draco and Harry glanced sharply at each other. Wolves?
"They left me alone and…well this is going to sound odd but one of the wolves felt almost…familiar," Bella continued.
"Familiar?" Harry asked, "You've met a wolf before?"
"No," Bella shook her head, "It sounds silly now but at the time he reminded me of…well of Jacob."
Once again the wizards eyes met, both of there hearts beginning to beat faster with fear and worry. Jacobs name in the same conversation as giant wolves…this was not looking good.
"What?" Draco asked.
"Just something in its eyes made me think of him and how I was glad I went alone after all. I wouldn't have his death on my conscience…not that I died anyway but still…" Bella mumbled, trailing off at the end.
"So…there's a pack of giant wolves in Forks," Harry murmured, "What next? Flying monkeys and the wicked witch of the west?"
"Huh?" Draco asked.
"Wizard of Oz," Harry explained shortly, "You've never seen it?"
"No," Draco said calmly.
"Oh, we'll have to rent it," Harry said calmly.
"So…what do we do about these wolves?" Draco asked softly.
"I don't know but I do know that I have to get home and…well explain to Charlie. I have to tell him what I saw but he is so going to kill me," Bella grumbled.
"Good luck," Harry said softly.
"We'll make your funeral pretty," Draco promised.
"Funny," Bella glared at him as she rose form the table, "See you later."
"Bye Bella!"
They waited for the front door to open and close before looking at each other, ignoring Teddy and his whinging for a moment as they both took in what they had just been told. Giant wolves to them meant werewolves.
"What are we going to do about the werewolves?" Draco repeated his earlier question. Harry sighed sadly, pulling out his wand. "Take them out?"
"No!" Harry gasped, "That's not the way the world should work. Punish first, ask questions later. That's the sort of thinking that got you thrown in Azkaban, the sort of thinking that I've been fighting to get rid of!" Harry snapped.
"Right," Draco mumbled, biting his lip. "But what do we do then?"
"We protect ourselves, we find the werewolves, wait for them to transform back and then we will talk to them."
"Talk?"
"Talk."
Draco followed a few paces behind Harry, wand clenched tightly in his hand at his side. Damn Gryffindor bravery! Draco wanted nothing more than to do the traditional thing when dealing with werewolves…run away! But no, Harry wanted to find them and confront them even though they were currently in their wolf forms and were more than likely to eat them.
"Harry, they aren't going to want to talk with us," Draco said, tripping on a tree root and stumbling a little, "We wont be able to wait for them to become human again, they'll kill us first. Werewolves are uncontrollable."
"Not all," Harry shook his head, Remus' kind face appearing in his mind.
"Yes, all!" Draco snapped, Fenrir's snarling face appearing in his mind.
"Not with wolfsbane…"
"Do you really think this pack will have taken a magical potion which requires an advanced skill in potions to make?" Draco asked incredulously.
"Well no but…Bella said they didn't attack her, only the vampire so they must have been thinking rationally or…" Harry protested.
"Or they were acting purely on instinct and went after their natural enemy before going after their meal," Draco said seriously.
"Well…yes. That is the other option," Harry admitted unwillingly, "But we have these!" He held up his wand as he spoke firmly.
"Yes we do but tell me do you intend to fight off a pack of murderous werewolves until dawn just so that we can have a little chat?" Draco asked.
"It doesn't sound as good when you say it like that," Harry grumbled. Draco wanted to answer but a loud growl startled both of them. They jumped and turned to face the growling with their wands raised at the ready. They found themselves facing a giant black wolf, possibly the biggest wolf either of them had ever seen. And then more giant wolves were stepping out to face them in a long line, six giant wolves facing two terrified wizards.
"Oh-My-God," Draco gasped, his eyes looking down the line of wolves, each one as menacing as the first one which was, Draco noticed, the biggest of the lot but not by all that much. "Well this was your idea Harry, you deal with them."
"O-Ok," Harry mumbled, taking a step forwards, causing the wolves to growl.
"Harry…" Draco mumbled fearfully, resisting the urge to take a step back.
"Um," Harry mumbled, gulping awkwardly, "Hi."
"Hi?" Draco asked loudly, "That's all you can think of? Well here's something to consider adding on…please don't eat us!"
The big black one took a step forwards, towards Harry who immediately froze on the spot. Loud sniffing sounds came from the wolf as it's nose moved up Harry's arm, sneezing sharply once before continuing. Harry flinched as the fowl breath was blown in his face and the wolf growled, baring its sharp teeth…
"Harry…" Draco warned softly, his body trembling with fear. A huge black paw lifted off the ground slowly and a loud growl came from the beast. Suddenly the black wolf was thrown aside by the rusty brown one slamming into it's side, the snapping jaw of the black one closing on thin air instead of the arm it had been aiming for. They growled at each other for long moments before eventually silence fell, all of the wolves watching the two and almost holding their breaths.
The rusty brown wolf turned back to face them and it's beautiful dark eyes met Harry's green one's, a sad look in them and instantly Harry knew that this was the one that had made Bella think of Jacob. The eyes were almost exactly the same…
"J-Jacob?" Harry asked softly. The wolf jumped back a step in obvious surprise and the other wolves stiffened. "Jacob?" Harry asked again, his voice more confident the second time. "Is that you?"
Draco and Harry watched, their wands held very much at the ready as the growling between the black wolf and the rusty brown wolf began again before the rust coloured one disappeared into a large bush. The other wolves growled even louder as that one disappeared and slowly formed a circle around the wizards. Harry and Draco moved so that they were stood with their backs pressed together.
"Harry, this isn't going well…" Draco mumbled back over his shoulder.
"When I say so…run," Harry said softly.
"I told you this was a bad idea," Draco said softly.
"Draco, is this really the time for I told you so's?" Harry asked sharply.
"No, perhaps not," Draco mumbled as the growling of the wolves increased.
"Ok on three. One…two…"
"Stop!"
The shout had come from the bush that the wolf had disappeared into and the two wizards turned to watch with wide eyes as a very human and very naked stepped out into the little clearing.
"Hi Harry."
A/N I am so sorry that this is so short but this is where I wanted to end it, such a perfect little chapter ending. More will be on the way soon.
