#2 of Izzy Potter and the Wolf's Line

A look at the wizarding world, some battles between wizards, mentions of rape, the death of an antagonist, and the main character expands his pack.


I woke up in a cold sweat with my blankets pooled around my waist and a sense of foreboding. I shook my head as the dreams quickly faded leaving me with nothing but the sense of foreboding and a memory of an explosion. I slowly got up and prepared for the day. It was November second 1975, giving me two months before Dumbledore would induct me into the order of the phoenix. In that time I planned on becoming very dangerous, and very knowledgeable about magic. The two went hand in hand so most could probably see why I was a force to be reckoned with. I could already cast non-verbally and without a wand, though both took some effort on my part.

I walked into the kitchen where Illia was reading the daily prophet and the elves were bustling about. I walked up and sat down, then within minutes I had a plate of food set before me and a glass of orange juice. I sipped the juice and ate slowly watching as Illia set down the paper then picked it up and started reading. It appeared that several firstborn witches had vanished from their homes and that there were several muggle families that had been murdered in the night. I swore and continued looking through the paper as I ate grumbling to myself. I sighed as I finished a story by expert reporter Amanda Bryan and lowered the prophet then tossed it on the table and said "I have a lot to learn, and little time to do it if I'm going to be facing vulturewart and his goons."

Illia chuckled at the nickname I gave Voldemort and said "So what do you want to work on today?" I shrugged and asked "How much longer before I'll get elf magic at the pace we're going?" She thought about it then said "You should have it down by the end of the month if you keep giving it your all and we work on it every day. Also if you practice your other magics between sessions, without draining your core, you should have everything mastered by next year. That's if you're diligent and want it enough."

I nodded in understanding and said "Let's get started." She nodded and the two of us walked outside to where we usually worked on magic then she started instructing me. I listened with rapt attention and silently wondered if every day was going to be like this. Hours passed and still we worked, though we took a few breaks where I worked on my normal magic and spells from the books I'd picked up at Flourish and Blots.

The rest of the month passed by rather quickly and by the end of it I was a master of my magic. I could cast summoning, banishing, conjuring, and vanishing spells in my sleep. I was a master at the way elves did magic and was completely in tune with nature which just worked with something inside of me. I was resting from Illia and I's last session when an owl flew up and landed on my shoulder. I noticed it belonged to either the ministry or someone who worked for them, as it was a top dollar owl and I took the letter off its leg then it flew off to roost in the owlery before heading home.

I opened the letter walking inside to the study and grabbing a glass of fire whiskey on my way. I smiled at the house elf who gave it to me causing him to blink in surprise but otherwise not react as they were getting used to my unusual tendencies for a wizard. I pulled the letter out of the envelope as I sat down in my favorite chair in the study, which was right by the fire, and started scanning the letter. I sighed as I got halfway through it and said aloud "So the ministry thinks I need auror training. They also want to test me on my O.W.Ls and N.E.W.Ts. I guess that means I'm heading to the ministry shortly." I finished reading the letter and incinerated it with the tip of my wand then got up. Illia and the house elves walked and looked at me questioningly.

I smiled at them and said "Gotta go to the ministry for some tests, should be back in a few hours. Have fun while I'm gone and contact me via Illia if you need me to get anything on my way home." I flooed to the ministry and walked up to the front desk. The guard glanced up from his daily prophet and I said "Lord Wolf, here for his ordinary wizarding levels, and his nastily exhausting wizarding tests as well as his masteries in many subjects so he can get the ability to teach." The guard weighed my wand then directed me where to go and I followed his directions to the testing chamber that the ministry used when students couldn't test at Hogwarts.

I was greeted by Professor Marchbanks, head of the testers first then she directed me to my first tester Professor Giselda. I walked over and saw she had a large cauldron in front of her then she said "I want you to make me the drought of living death." I nodded and got to work. It took me about an hour to make the potion then I filled my vile with it and cleaned out the cauldron. She studied the potion then asked me a few questions that every witch and wizard should know including where to find a bezoar, difference between monkshood and wolfsbane, things like that. Afterward she gave me an O and I moved on. The rest of the tests were just as easy, albeit taking a little over an hour each. The only ones that really gave me any trouble was history of magic and divination.

I instantly took my N.E.W.Ts and past them all with Outstanding's after spending time working on them. I wondered if this had to do with the library in my mind that the wolf seemed to be guarding and I told myself I'd have to enter a trance to find out how to touch that area again. I was really curious about what was hidden in there, and I wanted to know what that wolf represented. I shook my head and went home stretching and popping my back as I went then stopped midway there and turned back to ask about apparating. I found a man who taught apparition and listened to him then said "Think you can test me?" He nodded and watched as I apparated across the atrium. When I was back to him he commended me and said I'd passed basic apparition and could now apparate freely.

I apparated back to the house. The wards, recognizing me, let me apparate into my usual spot in the sitting room. I sat down in my usual chair and closed my eyes stretching out and popping my back. I closed my eyes and relaxed starting to enter a trance when it was interrupted by someone sitting on my lap. I opened my eyes to see Illia looking at me seductively and shivered slightly. She smirked and said "Problems master?" I growled softly feeling off guard and said "Yes, you aren't acting like you usually do. What's up?"

Illia smiled and said "I just wanted to make my master feel good." I stared in her eyes and saw lust, and lots of it. I blinked and started to say I was fine when she reached into my pants, which she'd conveniently unzipped while we were talking, and started stroking my member. I shivered and growled again feeling something rise in me and said "If you don't stop you're not going to like where this goes." She just smiled lustfully at me and continued to stroke my rapidly hardening member. I growled again and Illia just shivered staring into my eyes. I grabbed her head and pulled her into a heated kiss then apparated us to the bedroom and pinned her to my mattress.

She shivered and continued jerking my now swollen cock until I pinned her arms above her head before sliding off her shirt. She had a lacy blue bra on underneath and shivered as I studied her chest. I growled after a bit finding that I enjoyed the sight but wanted to see what her bust looked like without the clothing covering it and yanked her bra off then started lavishing her chest with attention. She moaned and her hand finally stopped pulling on my cock to instead grab my hair and pull my head closer. I growled deep in my throat and nipped her chest causing her to arch her back. I nipped and licked at her chest causing her to moan loudly then put up a silencing charm realizing this might cause a problem if the elves heard it while walking the halls.

I tossed off my shirt and unbuttoned then slid down my pants and boxers, which had already been unzipped by Illia. I growled and grabbed her pants then pulled them down her legs along with her blue underwear and mercilessly attacked her sex with my tongue. I don't know what came over me, but I just couldn't resist the thought of tasting Illia and making her beg for me to fuck her. I started lapping and licking at Illia's slit burying my face in her snatch and driving her wild. She moaned and pulled on my hair pulling me closer trying to get me to go faster. Instead I suckled on her clit and nipped her lower lips growling dominantly. She shivered and released my hair instead petting it like she would a wild animal.

I growled softly and kissed my way up her body then said softly in her ear "I'm going to take you and use you like a wild beast would." I could feel something inside me stirring with every word I said and with every one of my actions. I growled softly and pinned Illia's arms together over her head then bit her neck hard drawing blood amazingly. She moaned at the pain and pleasure mixing together then I thrust into her slowly, until I hit a barrier. I stared into her eyes and she shivered. I growled then thrust forward hard piercing her hymen and burying myself to the hilt.

Illia moaned loudly at the feeling of being stretched then winced as the pain hit her and knocked her out of her lust induced state. She shivered and said "What are you doing Lord Wolf?" I smirked at her and said "Giving you pleasure like no other." She blinked and started to protest then moaned as I started to pull out and push back in. She started to ask me to pull out completely but I just thrust into her to stop her protests and finally she submitted to my will. I felt something in me howl at the thought of dominating the strong willed female and started thrusting into her harder and faster causing her to moan as I played with her breasts and reached between us to tweak her clit.

Illia moaned and bucked her hips in time with my thrusts thanks to what I was doing between her legs. Eventually I felt myself getting close and whispered in Illia's ear "I'm going to mark you as mine." Illia shivered at the thought of me marking her as mine as I bit her neck hard sinking my teeth in not realizing that they'd lengthened into fangs, or at least my canines had, and that her blood was now flowing into my mouth as I thrust into her one last time and released into her molten core. She moaned then passed out from the pleasure and pain mixing together.

I growled and pulled out of her then tucked her in and got dressed releasing the silencing and privacy wards before heading back to the sitting room. I sat down in my chair and felt my instincts fighting with my conscious mind until finally I closed my eyes and entered my head. I found myself on a hill between a forest and a castle. I looked at the forest and sensed my memories hidden within, then looked at the castle and realized it must have been a mental decoy. I walked up to the castle and passed right through it into the sitting room where the wolf from before was sitting yawning softly to himself.

I looked at him and he said "Oh you're back, well come to read up some more or to throw me out?" I stared him dead in the eye and said "Why would I throw you out?" He smirked and said "Because I'm one of three parts of you. You have me, your reasoning and development, the silver wolf who is your honor, courage, loyalty, and cunning, and the chained one who is your instincts and your base mentality." I blinked and tried to take that in, then after a bit said "So you're me?" He nodded with a yawn and said "Basically. I'm part of you at least, the three of us together make the real you. You'll eventually have to accept all three of us to truly touch your untapped potential and find out who you really are." I sighed and nodded in understanding then sat back in the wingback which the wolf happily hopped onto my lap looking for a scratch.

I chuckled and started scratching behind his ears and said "So why were you asleep last time I visited?" He chuckled and said "Not much to hunt in this damn castle, so I choose to sleep rather than waste my time. Now if you'd make a damn door I could come and go as I please retaining my guardianship of said castle, even if all your memories and other things are in the woods and this is just your base knowledge. You do realize you can access the books up here whenever you want just by thinking of them, right? If not maybe I should have mentioned that before you left last time."

I glared at him and said "You think you should have mentioned it before I left? Nah it never hurts to keep things from yourself when they could be important." The wolf blinked and wilted a bit under my glare. He spread his wings and said "Anything you'd like to know?" I nodded and said "Yes, where the fuck are we?" He smirked and said "We are in your head, but to be more specific this is old Wolf Castle. It's a place hidden even to the goblins. The only one who can access it is you and those in your pack." I raised an eyebrow and said "My pack?" He nodded and said "Those tied to your magic, which strengthens them and you. You are the alpha of your pack, which right now is empty, part of why you feel so lonely all the time. Well that and the fact you're new to this world anyway."

I sighed and said "Right, well I guess I better head back. I'll look for Wolf Castle when I have the time, since you seem to think it'll just reveal itself to me." The wolf nodded and spread its wings then followed me as I made a door outside before waking up in my chair with Illia cuddled up to my chest wearing a bathrobe. I glanced at the elf, who mumbled in her sleep and cuddled against me tighter, then stroked her hair and sighed.

I continued to gently stroke her hair till she woke up noticing the bite mark in her neck and muttering "Oh bollocks." She slowly stirred and nuzzled me gently then opened her eyes which had a golden tint to them. I blinked and she licked at my throat submissively causing me to murr in pleasure closing my eyes and tilting my head back. I don't know why I did it; I just know it felt right. After that she bared her throat as I opened my eyes and gently bit down on it, causing her to shiver and whimper in submission. I released the bite and licked at her neck then said "Why do your eyes have a gold tint?" She stared at me confused so I conjured a mirror and let her look at her reflection. She gasped and touched it to make sure it was real then whined in fear. I stroked her hair gently hushing her and said "What's wrong?"

She mumbled "I don't know, I just don't know. I feel more submissive toward you; I'm worried I may be a lycan." I stroked her head and said "If you were you'd have already turned, tonight is the full moon." She glanced up through the glass roof of the sitting room to see the moon hanging in the sky and sighed in relief then said "What do you think happened to my eyes master?" I shrugged and said "I have no idea." She stared at me then said "Your eyes are pure gold right now, minus the pupils which are slits." I raised an eyebrow and she turned the mirror so I could see my reflection. I blinked at the golden eyed beast looking back at me.

I chuckled slightly and said "Some wizards have their eyes change colors with spells; mine turn gold and change colors naturally." Illia snickered at that then said "But why did mine change color?" I shrugged and said "Maybe it's because I dominated you." She nodded thoughtfully then got off my lap before walking to her room. I walked back to my room and collapsed on my bed after pulling off my robe then slipped under the covers and fell into a deep sleep.

The rest of the month passed uneventfully with me and Illia occasionally coupling together. Finally January first rolled around and I went to visit Dumbledore and his order of the phoenix. I apparated outside the school grounds then walked up them toward the door along the way I saw students playing around, joking around, and just enjoying being children. I smiled to myself thinking that dark times were the last thing on these people's minds. I smiled politely at Mcgonagle as I passed her on my way to the headmaster's then stopped and asked her the password. She gave it to me and I walked up the gargoyle then said "Chocolate frogs." The gargoyle moved out of the way and the staircase started ascending. I let it carry me up to Dumbledore's office and knocked on the door.

He answered "Enter." I walked in and saw him studying me curiously. I smirked and said "Take a portrait old man it'll last longer and not be as willing to walk away." He laughed at that and the two of us started discussing the order. After a while he said he'd take me to headquarters and threw a pinch of floo powder in the fireplace. He said "The burrow." He entered the fireplace and flooed away then I followed him. When I got there I had six wands pointing at me. One belonged to Alastor Moody who I'd seen at the auror offices, two belonged to a pair of red heads who looked to be like they were married, and the other three belonged to Amelia bones, Aberforth Dumbledore, and Edgar Bones. I held up my hands, my wand hidden up my sleeve and said "Ladies, Gentlemen, what a pleasure. What can I do to take away the edge?"

Moody barked with laughter and I looked him in the eye. He studied me and said "Who the hell are you lad." I raised an eyebrow and said "Guess Albus didn't mention me." Moody shook his head and I said "Wolf, Lord Wolf, to be exact, one of Voldemort's enemies and one of the most powerful wizards in Britain." Moody laughed again and said "If you're really Wolf, what was the last thing I told you before you and I left the Ministry several weeks ago?" I smirked and yelled "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" Causing a few to jump allowing me to slip my wand into my hand and disarm them. Moody was the only one who didn't jump nor let me disarm him. He smirked at me and said "Aye lads, lasses, this be the one and only wolf." I reholstered my wand and said "How've you been mad eyes?"

Moody chuckled and clasped my hand in a shake then said "I've been good lad, I've been good. Although the enemy took a nice chunk out of me last time we fought." He pointed at his nose which was missing part of it and I nodded. I said "They'll probably take more pieces off you if the minister doesn't let you guys use unforgivables." Mad eyes nodded and said "Aye that be true lad that be true. What about you, finally joining the fight?" I nodded and said "I'm joining the fray starting tonight. I plan on being at the next place Voldemort attacks then tracking him to his hideout and releasing those he has held captive. I'll be hiding them at Wolf Manor."

Alastor stared at me and said "Why Wolf Manor?" I shrugged and said "Nowhere safer. I mean if I thought I could return them to their old homes I would, but the death eaters will be expecting that." Alastor thought about it a while then nodded and said "You'll need someone to watch your back." I shrugged slightly and said "I'll need at least one person to watch my back, preferably two or three." Moody smirked and said "Constant Vigilance, eh? I can see that my lessons rubbed off on at least one of you. Why do you want members of the order to back you up?" I shrugged and said "The order, Aurors, doesn't matter to me who helps me, so long as I can strike a blow to vulturewart and free his captives. They've already been through hell if my dreams are any indication." Moody raised an eyebrow and I sighed then said "I've been having dreams about those taken by the death eaters. They kill the men and use the women as pleasure slaves at best, toys at worst."

Amelia growled deep in her throat and said "I'll help you." Edgar Bones nodded and agreed to help as well. I smiled at the two of them and said "Knew I could count on the Bones family. What about you mad eyes?" Alastor grinned, which with his scarred visage was pretty terrifying, and said "Oh I'll help you lad, anyone who can insult Voldemort and is willing to risk his life for others has spirit. I think you're an idiot, but I'll help you." I noticed Aberforth and Albus watching us and said "Yes?" Aberforth studied me and said "You're different from most lords. Where they're pompous bastards, you're a beast in the skin of a man."

I smirked darkly and said "I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing Aberforth." He nodded and the two of us laughed then he said "I'll help you Wolf, but I doubt we'll be able to get in what with the wards around the death eater's homes." I grinned feraly my canines sticking out and said "I'll deal with the wards. You guys just keep the Death Eaters off my back as I free the girls they have captive. If Moldy Shorts shows up I'll deal with him personally." Aberforth and the others nodded, accepting I was in charge then I showed them the location and told them to give me ten minutes. I apparated outside of the wards and started reworking them, I used a combination of wandless magic, elf magic, and what little dragon magic I knew.

By the time I was through with the wards they were keyed so only the dark mark was blocked from working then the Order members who were going to back me up apparated into the dungeons with me. We quickly started apparating out the girls we found there. By the time we'd gotten twenty of the fifty girls out, a few death eaters started coming downstairs to take their playthings. Alastor and Aberforth stunned them and locked them in their own dungeon.

Amelia, Edgar, and I continued apparating girls out until finally Vulturewart showed up and came after us. I blocked his first couple of spells then pulled out my wand and proceeded to duel with him while the other four continued to get the girls out, or deal with death eaters who tried to interfere. I had to summon things to block several Avada Kedavra curses, but other than that I was easily matching Vulturewart. We started walking up the stairs as our fight continued and the others continued to transport the girls to Wolf Manor.

Finally after about two hours we'd gotten all the girls out and the order members apparated back to headquarters. I managed to get Voldemort with a cutting curse only to be hit by six different Crucios from six different directions before Voldemort threw in a seventh holding his bleeding wand arm with his free hand. I managed to hold back my screams for about five minutes before finally my will broke and I let them out tearing my throat raw.

Eventually they stopped long enough for me to apparate back to the burrow and fall on my ass coughing up blood from my raw and swollen throat. Alastor grabbed my arm and side along apparated me to St. Mungos. I tuned out most of what was said around me as I tried to keep myself from slipping into insanity from the pain. It was hard, very hard, between the pain, which the curse prevented madness during it due to its power, and the feeling that I'd failed I didn't know which was worse. That is until Alastor said "You did good lad. We got all the girl's out and no one from the order was injured. How you put up with the cruciatus alone only god knows."

I shrugged as a mediwitch grabbed my arm and took me up to the fourth floor where they started checking me over for spell damage. Eventually they told me to strip and I did so slowly. When I was down to my boxers they said that was enough and started checking my chest and back as well as my arms and legs. Eventually they found spider webbing cracks all across my back which were busted blood vessels. They healed these easily enough then they noticed the tattoos. They asked me how long I'd had them, and I said "I have no idea, they just appeared one day."

The doctor looking me over just nodded and jotted that down on his clipboard then we both noticed the scarring on my stomach. There was a color changing flame that was pulsating in time with my heartbeat on it. He tried to heal it, as well as the tattoos, but nothing worked. Eventually he said "Looks like you have a curse scar. I don't know how to remove it because nothing worked. I'm sorry." I just shrugged and muttered that it was ok. They released me from the hospital about two hours later and I met Alastor down on the first floor where he'd waited for me.

Alastor studied me and asked "What was the damage lad?" I shrugged and answered "Exposure to seven Crucios, ended up with a cursed scar on my stomach from the damage. They had to repair multiple busted blood vessels, and said they're amazed I'm sane." Moody chuckled at that and said "Lad I'd say you're anything but sane. Taking in fifty witches who are all muggleborns, have been abused repeatedly, and don't know who to trust as well as fighting Voldemort and surviving the cruciatus curse. I can't wait to see what you do if we ever induct you into the aurors."

I burst out laughing then winced and held my stomach before punching Moody in the shoulder and saying "Don't make me laugh it hurts! Anyway to answer your question I won't be joining the Aurors, I can't stand anyone being in charge of me. I have to have my freedom to do things my way. The aurors wouldn't let me do that. I may become a teacher though; depending on if there is room for me at Hogwarts or one of the other schools come September." I stretched before Moody and I parted ways then went home where the elves were consoling the girls who were all looking around suspiciously.

When I walked in I had fifty wands pointed at me at first then they realized I was the one directing the operation to free them and they slowly lowered their wands. I stretched and said "Good evening ladies, if you're hungry please let the elves know, if you're thirsty let the elves know, if you want to rest let the elves know. If all that is taken care of, the elves will show you to your rooms where you can stay as long as you wish, I'm Lord Wolf and I will be happy to have you as long as you wish to stay here. I offer you all a place in my pack which is a special form of magic only my family has. I've been reading up on it lately and it's very strange. I'll explain more in the morning, if you'll excuse me I'm retiring to my room." The ladies nodded at me and smiled slightly at my kindness then let the elves lead them to their rooms while I walked to my own room resisting the urge to wince with every step.

I walked into my room and stripped then crawled into bed muttering to myself. I curled up under the covers and passed out. As soon as I entered the realm of dreams I found myself staring at Voldemort who was crucioing one of his followers. The man screamed and screamed then Voldemort lifted the curse and said "Who was the one who fought me Rockwood." Rockwood looked up and said "They call him Lord Wolf. He's known at the ministry as one of the men the minister trusts and is friends with Unspeakable Foster. He's been seen in the department of mysteries multiple times usually checking out the veil of death. We don't know why only that he studies it and mumbles under his breath a lot. That's all I know my lord I swear."

He glared at Rockwood and said "How did he know about our playthings, let alone where they were kept?" Rockwood shook his head and said "I have no idea master, I also don't know how he changed the wards but I have all of your loyal followers repairing them. Are we still going to go after The Bones family?" Voldemort nodded slowly and said "Yes, Edgar Bones and his family will face the wrath of Lord Voldemort. I will deal with the personally after what he did tonight. However for now we rest. That foolish Wolf will be in no shape to face me again for months if not years after the power of the cruciatus curse was used on him from so many." Rockwood nodded and said "Of Course Master, even if he's healed he wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge you again."

I smirked to myself as I thought "You sure about that? I mean I obviously have a death wish since I'm willingly challenging Voldemort head on, but I'm not afraid of anyone. They should be afraid of me; after all I am the big bad wolf." I popped my neck and growled softly even in the dream it seemed what I did affected them as they looked around. I shook my head and slowly the dream faded as Voldemort said "We attack on the twenty third. That should give us enough time to muster our forces and attack multiple fronts while I focus on the Bones family. The other attack can fail for all I care, as long as my targets do not escape."

I grinned to myself as I appeared in a forest full of life. There were creatures flying through the air, animals walking through the underbrush and studying me as they passed, and most importantly there was a wolf sitting on a rock watching me. I raised an eyebrow at him and he said "Hello, Wolf." I grinned and said "Sup?" He barked with laughter and said "I am Shanuo and I am a guardian wolf." I raised an eyebrow questioningly and he just smirked.

I sighed realizing he was going to make me ask out loud and asked "A guardian wolf is what exactly?" He smirked and said "A guard to the royal wolves of old. They were the wolves that were truly in tune with magic, the wild, and mortals. They branched off but one family chose to marry a group of humans and left this world. That family is the last of the royal wolves. All the others have moved on to the great beyond." I raised an eyebrow and said "What's that got to do with me?" He smirked and said "You are a descendant of that family, and the last Royal Wolf. A mix of man and beast as they would say, the closest thing to you is the lycans or werewolves."

I blinked at that and said quite brilliantly "Oh." The wolf burst out laughing and said "This is why your mates all have gold in their eyes. They will always have that as they are now part wolf from your essence entering them." I blinked and mumbled "My essence?" I blushed as I realized what he meant and said "Ok...what else is there that you need to tell me?"

The wolf laughed and said "This old magic that you spoke of, well it will affect the women you saved, if they accept it. It will make them more wolf like, make you more powerful, and bring more of your inner beast out. This may not be a bad thing, though eventually you will have to reconcile between the human and the beast within." I nodded and he continued "Eventually you can choose to change them as you see fit, though only your mates will become royal wolves and gain the gold in your eyes. You may be able to turn them into Guardian Wolves." I blinked and said "Which I'm guessing will correct an imbalance in the world." He laughed and said "Yes, there is actually a prophecy about the return of your kind. The humans should have their own prophecy about you in particular soon enough."

Suddenly everything started to grow hazy and Shanuo said "I will see you again young pup, and when I will teach you more. Until then fight on, and follow your heart for it will never guide you astray. Find more mates, and spread you're clan's essence." Suddenly I woke up in bed holding my head and groaning. I pulled out my wand and cast "Tempus." Instantly I was shown that it was January 4th 1976. I grumbled realizing I only had nineteen days to prepare the Bones family for Voldemort's attack.

I sighed and got out of bed only to find myself staring at Tilly one of the house elves who was eye level with my boxer clad crotch, making me realize I must have grown taller. I glanced at him and asked "Yes Tilly?" He smiled up at me staring at my eyes and said "Master Wolf the ladies be wanting to talks with yous." I sighed and said "Of course they do, they can't wait until I'm fully awake and have had my cocoa." The elf smiled and popped away then came back bearing a tray of hot cocoa. I sat on my bed sipping it and said "Tilly, what would I ever do without you elves?" He smiled and said "Master Wolf would probably be lost without his house elves sir."

I sighed and mumbled "To true, though I remember a time when I relied on no one but myself." The elf gasped and said "Master Wolf that's not good no, no, you has house elves for a reason. Master wolf should never have to rely on himself." I smiled to myself at the house elf's reasoning and said "I was alone at the time Tilly no house elves, just me."

Tilly stared at me wide eyed and I smiled at him saying "But now I have house elves so that's not a problem." He nodded his head rapidly his bat wing like ears flapping around. I chuckled and patted his head then said "Why don't you guys prepare breakfast for everyone while I finish my cocoa and take a shower. Tell the ladies I will be with them shortly." Tilly nodded and popped away making me smile. I got to my feet and started walking to the shower where I stripped out of my boxers and quickly got cleaned up.

I smiled to myself as the water ran over my body and thought_"Life seems to be going pretty good, it could be better, but it could also be worse. I hope the ladies are ready for my explanation and can handle what I have to say."_ I sighed softly realizing they'd been through a lot and knowing that I knew exactly what they'd been through would be hard on them. I walked out to the dining room where some of the ladies were gathered and listed off their names from a clipboard that Ivy, another of the house elves, gave me. I said "Muriel Alexander, Andrea Brown, Nina Andrews, Marisia Hemmingway, and Alexa Worrall."

Each girl looked up as her name was called and I smiled at them then said "You guys will be the first ones going through therapy, my friend Illia will be here shortly to take you to a private room so you can vent. However first I'll explain everything I know so you don't miss out on anything, let's head to the foyer where all the girls can hear." They nodded and followed me to the foyer then I rang a bell and the elves appeared with the other forty something girls. They all looked at me and I said "You all must be wondering a few things, mainly, how I found you, who brought you here, and why I saved you when all hope was lost."

The girls all nodded and I said "Let's start with who brought you here. The ones who you all met, however briefly were aurors Amelia Bones and Alastor Moody, Amelia's brother Edgar, and Aberforth Dumbledore. All of them are members of the Order of the Phoenix." The girls gasped and let out other sounds of surprise. I waited for them to finish then said "Next, why did I save you when all hope seemed lost, because you needed to be saved. I had no other interest, well besides pissing off vulturewart." A few of the ladies laughed at the nickname I gave Voldemort then they started talking amongst themselves. Eventually Illia appeared and I said "For the last one I'm going to show you a memory of the last time I saw one of you in their hands before freeing you."

The girls shivered and slowly I took my wand and touched it to my temple then drew out of a memory and placed it in the pensieve. The girls walked up and dived into the pensieve then I followed them landing by the place they'd left. Instantly the girls looked around wearily and I said "We are in Riddle Manor. Where I freed you all from, the occupants can neither see nor hear us. Even the past versions of yourselves can't see or hear us." They nodded their heads as the memory took us inside the manor to the dining room where one of the girls was spread eagle on the table being violated in the ass, sex, and mouth. She was crying soft tears but not making a sound for fear of being hit by a torture curse.

I growled at the sight and the girls blinked noticing my eyes had turned pure gold. I watched it all carefully and growled louder as a fourth man walked up and started using the poor girl's breasts. I punched the image causing no effect but gaining the women's respect somewhat for what I did. I muttered and the memory changed to the dungeons where the girl was being dragged by her hair before being thrown in a cell with six other women none of them clean. I said softly "After seeing your living conditions and what was happening to you I couldn't help but lose myself in rage and plan on attacking Voldemort's strong hold."

The girls nodded warily watching me as the dream version of me entered each cell taking count of who was inside and how to help them all. Finally the memory ended and we returned to the foyer where the elves were holding the pensieve and watching us carefully. A few of the girls broke down; the rest just had hardened expressions on their faces. Illia walked in and took a few of the girls away to help them get over their trauma while the elves took me and the rest to the kitchen table where breakfast was served.

I let the girls talk and enjoy themselves as I ate quietly deep in thought. I looked up when Allia, one of the older girls, cleared her throat. I looked at her questioningly and she said "Mr. Wolf we were wondering what we owe you for all of this?" I blinked and said "Absolutely nothing. I just want you girls to rest and recover and stay as long as you want. I won't force you to stay longer, nor will I force you to leave. This is a safe haven." They smiled in thanks then we all got up and went our separate ways.

I walked to my study where I started drafting a letter to Albus about having the order watch over the Bones family. It wouldn't be right to tell him everything I knew, but it would be fine if I let him know enough that it seemed like I had a little insight to Voldy's plans. I threw away the first four or five however on the sixth I felt I worded it right and called in Xenia my personal owl who flew over. I handed her the letter and said "Take that to Albus and wait to see if he has a reply, if not come back here for your usual rewards lovely." She hooted once then flew off with the letter tied to her leg.

I leaned back in my chair thinking as the door opened and one of the house elves walked in with a plate of biscuits. I took one and munched on it staring into my inkwell deep in thought. The house elf, whose name was Ani, walked out with the food knowing not to disturb me when I got like this. I sighed after a bit as I finished the biscuit and leaned back in my chair humming softly. I wondered what to do besides wait for Xenia to return; finally I decided to head outside and just cast a bit of magic to practice. I walked out and started casting bombardas and stupefys at targets that appeared and looked like rogue wizards.

After a few I started casting reductor curses. I stretched after I finished and blinked as a few of the girls walked up and dragged me back inside then threw me in a chair. I stretched and watched the girls as they talked among themselves then the apparent leader, Amelia Thorn, walked up and sat on my lap. I blinked few times to be sure this was real then she leaned against me contently and nuzzled my neck. I figured they'd never be comfortable around men again, which was why this was so confusing.

I blinked as Amelia kissed me slowly almost scared of how I'd react. I gently kissed her back running my fingers through her hair and treating her gently. The other girls stared in shock at the way I treated, which was as if she was one of the most important people in the world rather than a piece of meat as the death eaters had. I broke the kiss and kissed her nose then said "I told you I expect nothing from you or any of the girls. I'd much rather you all feel safe than think that you need to pleasure me." They smiled and Amelia nuzzled my shoulder then got up and walked off with the others.

This trend continued for the next couple of weeks. I'd get comfortable and one of the women would surprise me. Whether it be by sitting on my lap, kissing me, or in one case walking in just after I showered and causing me to blush red as a tomato. Until finally January twentieth arrived and I approached the Bones family with my news, they were shocked because Albus apparently hadn't told them, and then asked how I knew. I told them about my dreams and how they'd been accurate so far and that I would be staying with them for the next few days to prepare for the attack of Voldemort. They thanked me and welcomed me into their home where I met their children and their extended family. There was Edgar, patriarch of the family, Amelia top class auror, his daughter Amanda Bones, and his son Arthur as well as his wife Maria and his brother Alexander who was getting married by the end of the year.

I realized this would just be the first attempt on the Bones family since they were both powerful magically and politically. Voldemort would want anyone who fought him destroyed. If they all survived they would be attacked again. I knew Voldemort wouldn't stop until either the Bones family or he was dead. I growled softly as I helped the Boneses train for when Voldemort attacked. Finally on the twenty third our training was put to the test. Voldemort and seven others appeared and attacked Bones Manor. I was the first on the field blasting Voldemort with a reductor curse that sent him flying. I then turned my wand on one of the men with him and cast "Feminus Fenum." Which amazingly turned him into a female with a demure attitude who hid behind me as the intense fighting got under way.

I growled and lashed out at Voldemort with a stunning hex which one of his goons intercepted then the battle between the two of us truly began. He summoned a snake which I turned to smoke. I summoned a wolf that lunged at him and he turned it into a puppy. The now female death eater saved the puppy from a wall of fire summoned by Voldemort which I countered with a wave of water. Back and forth like this it went for the next twenty minutes while the Boneses waited for the aurors to arrive and were blasting the death eaters with stunners and the occasional bone breaker hex, as well as disarming curses. I sighed realizing that they wouldn't break ministry regulations, not sure how many I'd already broken and cast bone breakers, reductors, and other potentially lethal curses.

I figured if the death eaters weren't going to hold back neither was I. Finally Voldemort and his goons who could, apparated away, leaving me and the Bones family to gather up the remainder. The one who I'd turned into a girl was curled up behind me holding onto the puppy and petting it. I sighed and stroked her hair noticing she no longer bore the dark mark then started pulling the death eaters into a pile and casting a spell to bind them with ropes as the aurors appeared. The aurors took them away but I thought of casting the Praedia Bellica on a few of them.

When the aurors weren't paying attention I cast the spell causing all the holdings of the death eaters in question to pass into my hands, including their family as spoils of war. I didn't expect the drain on my magic from casting the spell but just grinned at the outcome. I stretched and popped my back letting the aurors lead the prisoners away. The Bones family thanked me again then I apparated back to the house where I got fifty different ass chewings and one long kiss. I figured it was worth it since lives had been saved and even said so causing the girls to get even angrier. They met the girl I brought home and cautiously welcomed her. However they were still pissed at me so I knew I'd be lucky to get out with my hide intact. The only ones who didn't seem ready to tear me limb from limb were the new girl and Illia.

Illia seemed like she was slightly proud of me and my wolf said something about that's how a mate should feel about their alpha doing his duty. The new girl was rather subservient and hid behind me every chance she could. To my enhanced senses she smelled afraid that the girls would go after her after what she did as a man. She hadn't raped any of them, but she definitely helped keep them captive. The girls were surprised by this behavior and finally asked "Alright Wolf, who is she?" I blinked and said "A former male turned female." They waited for me to explain so I sighed and got into teacher mode as I called it. I started explaining about the spells I'd created including the ones to swap a person's gender. I explained I hadn't expected them to work, but work they did.

I went on to explain about the Bones family and my letter to Dumbledore then checking up on them. This led to the explanation of the fight and our new guest. When they found out she was a former death eater they asked my plans for her and I said "I'm going to enjoy my conquest." I raised an eyebrow waiting for an argument however when none came I took the former death eater by the arm and led her to the master suite. She knew what was coming and shivered expecting me to be cruel. I gently guided her into the room and shut the door then passionately kissed her causing her knees to go weak.

I gently pushed her back toward the bed as I deepened the kiss putting up privacy and silencing wards as we walked. I took both her wand and mine then put them on the nightstand not feeling like pointing out that I could use magic without a wand. I continued kissing her until her knees hit the back of the bed then pushed her back onto it and lay beside her stroking her hair. She shivered and said "Why are you being so gentle when you're going to rape me?" I sighed and said "I have never raped anyone. I don't plan to start now. If you want me to stop at any time say so." She nodded and I asked "So what was your name and what's your new name?" She thought about it a second then said "My name was Alexis Antonio. I think my new name will be Anastasia Andrews." I simply nodded and played with her hair.

She sighed and said "Why are you so gentle when you know what I was?" I stroked her cheek and replied "Because that's not who you are anymore and you never participated in the raping of the girls. From what I've seen in your mind it made you sick to know that they were being treated the way they were. I know for a fact you tried to make their lives better and wanted to defect from Voldemort's camp." Anastasia blinked then hugged me tightly thanking me and I said "Can't...Breath....nee...air." She let go looking abashed then I kissed her saying "You look cute when you seem slightly worried." She punched me, which probably would have hurt a lot worse if she was still a guy then glanced down at her chest and asked "Why are they so big?"

I shrugged and pulled off her shirt making her gasp then started trailing kisses all over her neck and jawline. She shivered in pleasure and mumbled "No fair." I just laughed and said softly "I never play fair dear lady, never." I kissed all over her neck causing her to slightly melt into a pile of goo then kissed along her uncovered breasts since they had only been covered by her robes seeing as she didn't have a bra. I then kissed down her stomach while massaging her breasts and undid her pants/trousers.

I pulled them off her revealing the boxers underneath then kissed down her legs before taking her shoes and socks off to kiss up her body again. I eventually came to her boxer clad crotch and slid those down her legs as I drove my tongue into her virgin core. She moaned loudly at the stimulation and grabbed my hair forcing my head closer. I gladly obliged nibbling on her clit, sucking on her labia, and twirling my tongue within her folds seeking her g spot. Finally she came all over my face and I greedily licked it up as she let go of my hair and allowed me to sit up. I started stripping down and she stared at my nine inch member which was still slightly soft. All told when it was hard it would be eleven inches long and two or three inches thick at least.

What I didn't realize at the time, or for a while afterward, was my body was optimizing itself for mating. I rubbed the head of my cock against her sopping wet entrance. She moaned and said "Tease!" I smirked and said "So you want me to take you?" she growled and bit my shoulder in response activating my instincts and causing me to bite her neck dominantly causing her to yelp and let go then lick at the spot in apology not knowing what came over her. I thrust into her slowly, an inch at a time to let her get used to being stretched till I hit her hymen. I looked at her questioningly and she nodded a bit fearfully so I pulled all the way out thrust all the way in.

She let out a very canine yelped and motioned for me to be still. I did so worried about her until she nodded for me to continue and thrust into her slowly and steadily. She moaned as her body adjust to what I was doing then her vaginal walls started clamping down on my cock in a vice like grip and started milking me for all I was worth causing me to thrust harder and faster growling as I held the bite on her neck and raked my fingernails down her back not realizing they'd turned into claws and left deep scratches.

She moaned at the combination of pleasure and pain then whined at me to keep going. I noticed the longer we went the more canine she acted, but where Illia was at least a beta, she seemed to be at most a delta. I continued thrusting till I got close to my peak and started hitting her cervix before thrusting forward one last time and releasing into her holding her close. We both howled out our orgasms, which looked slightly scary with the blood on my face and the bite in Anastasia's shoulder.

I licked at the bite and it started to close then nuzzled her and the two of us fell into a contented sleep with her clinging to me and mumbling "My alpha." As I slipped asleep I dreamed of turning into a large black wolf with black wings with silver tips and blood red on my muzzle as well as blood red markings on my fur. The rest of the night passed in the dream with me running, hunting, and eating prey animals. Knowing I had a pack to protect in the real world my dream self-seemed to be trying to help teach me how to do just that.
