Chapter 5: Chapter 5 -[Pups]
Just a day later a vote was held in the Wizengamot.
When it was time to vote, there were some surprises.
Albus Dumbledore saw how the votes he had cast were less. He wasn't the only one who was surprised. Several members of the ministry were surprised that their votes were not reflected.
" I'm sorry to interrupt! " the old man began " but it seems that something is happening to the vote counter " Everyone focused on what the old man said.
" My vote is not included! " said a member of the ministry.
" Not even mine! " Said a woman with a toad face. " This is a shame!"
" Order! " said the old man. " Can someone check what is happening?"
A wizard pulled out his wand and cast a couple of diagnostic spells. The covered face and the shield identified him as an Unspeakable. When he finished he looked at the Minister.
" The device works correctly! " he announced so that everyone could hear him.
" Don't talk nonsense! " The toad woman began. " It is evident that this is not the case!"
"Madam, I have carried out the verification three times." said the Unspeakable." The votes are those legally present."
"What seats are failing?" Amelia Bones asked. The unspeakable cast another pair of spells. Shortly after, several seats lit up and two shields stood out on the wall.
" Of those that still have living members, Daemont, Sefield, Potter, and Black families," he answered. Immediately a protest broke out.
"It can't be, I am the representative for the Potter family," Albus said calmly. Then the knowledge came to him.
" We know who is the head of the Potter family! " Someone said. " But who is Mr. Black? " Many looked at Lucius.
"The Potter family cannot vote!" Dolores Umbridge shouted." Their last member is a dark creature and cannot be among respectable wizards!"
" What nonsense is that? " said Augusta Longbottom.
" He's a lycanthrope! " The woman responded. " He has no right to…!"
" Being undersecretary of our minister, I thought you would be better informed! " Widow Longbottom silenced her. " Harry Potter may be bitten by a werewolf! But that doesn't take away his rights!"
" Of course! " shouted the toad witch.
" If that were the case, part of this body would be out of its seat! " The woman added, annoyed. " I know at least four families that have suffered the same situation and are still in this room! " She looked to the side. " The Odien, their grandfather was bitten, he could not be present but his representative was! The Emersons are the same! " She looked at the witch. " I would like to know who would dare to take away the rights of an ancient family?!"
" But... but... the boy is a half-blood and...! " Murmurs were heard throughout the room.
" Are you an idiot?! " Augusta asked without quite believing it. " What would your blood status matter?! Harry Potter is the last of his family! One of those who founded our world! A Potter has sat among us forever! " Some members of ancient families nodded in agreement. " Minister Fudge! " The wizard looked at her. " I advise you to keep a better eye on your employees! That comment was not very accurate! " Several laughed when they saw the wizard's face. " Regardless of what Mrs. Umbridge thinks! " She added. " It is evident that several people have lost their place since their the legitimate owner has changed representatives! " When she said it, she looked at Dumbledore with amusement.
" Yes, but who is the head of the Black family! " said a wizard. " Many of us believed he was the son of Lucius! " Some nodded.
"Mr. Malfoy!" Dumbledore began. The blonde stood up." Has your son received any news?!"
" I'm afraid... I can't answer! " Said the blonde, confused and hopeful about the situation. " I have no knowledge about that topic! I would need to contact my home to check if the news has arrived!"
" I propose that you look at the founding document of the Ministry of Magic! " said a magician. " All the families with the right to vote and their current owners are registered there! " Many nodded in agreement.
" Proceed! " Albus said looking at the Unspeakable. The wizard nodded and shortly after he approached a corner and cast a couple of spells on a book.
Everyone looked at him with interest. The most Lucius Malfoy.
" The four Black seats! " the Unspeakable began once he had verified. " They belong to... Harry Potter! " There was great confusion upon hearing it.
In the stands, a magician came out quickly. Beside him, Filius Flitwick was enjoying the situation.
From the side, an Auror entered and approached Dumbledore. He handed him a parchment and whispered something in his ear. Several watched him with interest.
" Order! Order! " the old man began. " It seems that Mr. Potter's representative is requesting to come in and take his place among us! " He said annoyed. Many protested when they heard it. " Order! " He looked at the entrance. " Let it happen!"
Everyone watched with interest as the door opened and a woman entered through it. Some recognized her when they saw her.
Andromeda Tonks entered with an air of majesty that only the Blacks possessed.
" Mom? " asked a surprised auror. The woman looked at her for only a second before continuing.
" Good morning everyone! " said the woman. " Members of the Wizengamot, I am here to take the place of my lord Harry Potter as his representative in the seven seats he controls! To look after their interests and vote in their name! " Many murmurs and protests were heard.
"I'm not going to give you my seat!" Umbridge said.
" Do what you want, it's not my problem! " The Black witch responded. " But I assure you that the vote you represent will fall to me! " She took out a scroll. " This document authorizes me to represent my Lord! " When she said it She looked at her daughter who tensed when she understood what that meant. " As his representative in this body! By ancient laws, I demand your compliance!"
From that moment on, little else could be done. To the annoyance of many at the end of the session, Andromeda Tonks was the representative of the seven seats that the Potter and Black families had.
Albus Dumbledore quickly left to contact Harry Potter. In his head, he began to prepare plans. If it went the way he wanted, he would not only win those seven seats for his cause, but he would also get three of his best teachers back.
{SCENE BREAK}
In a castle, a very funny group laughed at what happened thanks to a pensieve and the memories of one of the tutors.
On the contrary, in an old castle in Scotland, Albus Dumbledore cursed that it was impossible for him to locate the boy or his guardians. His only way to contact him would be his new agent Andromeda Tonks. Maybe he could use her daughter to influence her.
Little did he know about the meeting that the mother and daughter had had at the end of the Wizengamot session.
Not only could he not influence Andromeda, but he had also lost her daughter as a member of the order of the phoenix.
He finished writing a letter in which he offered the young man to return to Hogwarts to finish his studies, arguing that he had been able to obtain his readmission.
He added some apologies and regretted not having been able to do more given the situation.
To finish, he appealed to the young man, arguing that his parents would be very proud if he finished his studies at the castle.
As soon as he finished it, he put it in an envelope and wrote a small note for Andromeda Tonks, with the request to give it to Harry Potter. On this occasion, and knowing who was with the boy, he decided not to add a couple of spells that would stimulate the young man's cooperation.
{SCENE BREAK}
One day later, on Black Island, everyone was finishing breakfast laughing. Andromeda Tonks walked through the door, right in front of her frightened daughter.
Without saying anything she handed a letter to Harry.
" My lord! It's a letter from Albus Dumbledore. I and Nymphadora have already checked if he had placed spells on it." Andromeda said, looking at her daughter who looked upset when she named her.
" What are you doing here? " Minerva asked, annoyed. " You are part of the old goat's group. " The young auror thought for a moment before realizing that she was referring to Dumbledore.
" HA HA HA! Very good! " She started laughing. " HA, HA, HA! That fits you perfectly!"
" Ahem! " Her mother cut her off.
" Ha...! " Tonks sighed to calm down. " I'm sorry. " She smiled. " But admit that it is a very good comparison."
" Nymphadora…!"
" Yes, okay! " She looked at Harry. " I come to offer my oath of loyalty to the head of my family."
Everyone looked at her without understanding.
" It is customary that when a head of the family is proclaimed, the rest of the members take an oath of obedience. " Andromeda clarified. " I thought it would be better if we all did it at the same time. " Sigh. " I contacted Narcissa. " Minerva and the rest of the adult wizards tensed. " She did not accept. She said she's a Malfoy. That's why I thought it would be better for my daughter and I to come finish our obligations as soon as possible. " She looked at Minerva. " When Nymphadora told me that she was not completely satisfied with how Dumbledore and his order are behaving. I had suggested that She accompany me. The oath would ensure my daughter's loyalty and keep her away from that… old goat." Behind her, her daughter held back a laugh.
Everyone looked at Harry.
" From what I understand, this is a family topic. " The green-eyed man said, looking at everyone. " How about you all get ready while we finish this in the library?"
Many of the young people nodded and left the dining room. No matter how much trust they had and being considered almost family. They knew that some things regarding magic were only for those who shared the same blood.
" Do I need to prepare something? " asked the green-eyed man.
" Nothing." Andromeda responded." We just have to recite the family oath and have the lord accept it." She looked at everyone." I'm sorry, but only those within the family can attend."
"Okay, let's go," Harry said when Minerva, Filius, and Pomona nodded in agreement.
When the boy stood up Hermione did the same.
" Sorry! Only family members," said Tonks.
"Hermione is my wife," he said. "Therefore she is Mrs. Black." The young woman looked at him surprised.
" When...? " Her mother silenced her.
" I told you to shut up! " She said annoyed to her daughter. She hanged her head in shame.
They only took three steps before the young auror saw the forms rise. She had no problem recognizing what was in front of her. She had heard too much about those beings.
" AHHHH! GRIMS! " She said, taking out her wand. Andromeda took it away quickly.
" NO! Quiet!
" Mother, those beasts...! " She was left speechless.
The two formidable animals stood next to the couple. They ran their hands along their flanks, caressing them.
"Shadow and Night won't do anything to you," said Hermione. "They are our familiars."
"It's not possible," the young woman said in a low voice. "It's final. Either I'm drunk or I took a bad hit in my last fall."
"No. You're fine," Minerva added. "They are Harry and Hermione's relatives." The young woman looked at her former teacher.
"Family? Two Grims? " She asked without quite believing what she had seen. Minerva nodded.
"I think they're leaving you behind," said Dan Granger, pointing to the door where Andromeda was looking at her daughter with an angry face. The young woman reacted when she saw her mother's face.
"I'm coming!" She said, quickly approaching the door.
"We will prepare today's classes while they finish," said Pomona.
" potions! " Enma Granger said happily.
" Since they discovered that they are Squibs they haven't stopped," Filius said to himself.
" It's one of the little magic we can perform! " Dan added in protest.
{SCENE BREAK}
Inside the library, the couple received the oath of mother and daughter.
When the event was over, Harry asked everyone to come in and explained the real situation to the two women. Andromeda was furious. But Nymphadora had her mouth open, unable to react. Such was her surprise that her appearance changed to its natural state. The resemblance between mother and daughter was irrefutable.
At the end, an awkward silence arose in the room.
"Now what are you planning to do, my lord?" Andromeda asked when she reacted.
" Please, I prefer Harry. " He asked. " If you need to give me that treatment, let it be when you think it will be necessary. " He looked at everyone. " We are all family here."
"Okay, Harry," the woman responded, smiling.
" What do you suggest we do, Andromeda? " Minerva asked. " We would appreciate it if you could tell us if we have neglected something."
"The first thing would be to see what the old man wants," the woman said, pointing to the forgotten letter she had brought to Harry.
The boy opened it. At his side, Hermione was reading with him.
" How dare he come with this?! " said a furious Hermione. " And on top of that, playing the victim! " everyone could notice how the magic began to run through everything.
"What is this?! " Tonks asked nervously. Everyone understood that it was Harry's doing.
"Harry, calm down!" Hermione said, massaging her husband's shoulders.
"He let them kill them and now...!" He couldn't continue.
" I know! But now we can't do anything." she said." Calm down and we will make him pay."
The boy took a few breaths, calming down little by little. Tonks looked at the boy with wide eyes. If the display of wild magic was the young man in front of her, his controlled and trained power… it was terrifying.
"His power is…" the Metamorphmagus could not continue.
"That's why we are training him," said Filius Flitwich. "They have to learn to control their new powers."
"How new?" Andromeda asked. Everyone understood that they had said too much.
"There is something else that we have not told you." Minerva said." but only those who reside on the island can know it. It is very dangerous for anyone to find out about this."
Before continuing the two Grims stood up grunting.
"Someone is approaching the house," said Harry, sniffing the air. "Damn, it's a Grim! Surely it's from the farm!" When he said it, he and the others went towards the door.
" Farm? What farm? " Tonks asked. " And how is there another Grim in this place?"
" Why do you think the family crest has a Grim on it? " Enma Granger asked, amused, next to the two women, as they followed the others.
" Impossible! " Andromeda said. " It's a legend! A story for children!"
" What mother?"
"When I was little, they threatened to leave me in the center of a cemetery full of Grims," the woman said, remembering. "My grandmother called it..." she looked at Pomona. "The farm from hell."
" You already know the secret of the Black fortune. " The plant lover responded. " BlackRock is the only Grims breeding farm in the world. " The woman looked at her surprised.
" That's why no one could know! " Tonks thought out loud. " If they knew there were Grims here...! Many hunters would kill to find out how to get there. Damn, an adult male is worth a fortune!"
At the entrance, the teachers threw red sparks into the air. Soon all the children began to appear thanks to an elf.
" What's wrong? " asked a blonde girl.
"There's a Grim nearby," Harry answered. "He's probably smelled Shadow and Night and wants to challenge them for territory."
" You know how to act! " Minerva said. " Everyone inside and wait!"
" Nobody leaves the castle! " Pomona added. " And if anyone sees something strange, let an elf know!"
The twelve children entered the mansion without hesitation.
"Who are they? " Tonks asked. She had already noticed the children at breakfast.
"They were all bitten by a werewolf," Flitwich responded. "Harry and Hermione founded The School for Magical Apprentices, Sirius Black," he finished amusingly.
" But... Why did they do that? " Nymphadora asked.
"Those children will never be able to go to Hogwarts." Pomona responded." What awaits them? Here they will have a magical education and an opportunity in the future."
"Harry and Hermione plan to create the first sanctuary for werewolves." Enma added." In the future, they will be able to live on the island."
Suddenly the two Grims and the two young men came forward.
"Harry...!"
" Stay here." he said." It seems like it's a female and… It's injured."
"Then it will be more dangerous," Dan protested. The boy turned around smiling.
" Really? " he asked enigmatically before the four of them began to run towards the side, towards the forest.
" Are you going to let them go alone?! " Tonks asked without believing it.
" The first thing the two of you have to learn " Minerva began " is that those four are the most powerful beings on the island. Nothing can stop them here."
" We will wait for them to return to the dining room with the children," Enma added.
As they walked back inside Tonks approached her mother.
" Where have we gone? " She asked.
" I don't know. " She responded. " But whatever happens, it is our obligation as part of this family."
{SCENE BREAK}
The couple and their families had no problems finding the intruder. She remained lying on a tree at the edge of the forest. The little they could see proved without a doubt that it was an adult Grim.
Half hidden, lying down, and with its size, it looked like a big bear, half hidden by the darkness. Without knowing what it was, many would flee in terror from this large animal. But not the quartet.
The animal seemed to be in bad shape. When she felt them approaching, She growled threateningly.
"We don't want to hurt you," Hermione said. "But I think you should go."
The Grim felt the power emanating from the two humans and how their species brothers oozed power. Without a doubt alphas. Pack leaders the four.
She knew she couldn't win, even if she was bigger. With her injuries and fatigue, she would only last a moment.
She tried to get up without success. With just one glance Hermione noticed a couple of things.
" Harry! She's very bad and it seems like she's pregnant," said Hermione, approaching. "We have to help her."
Instantly both humans transformed into large wolves. The wounded Grim understood why her instincts marked the four as alphas.
When the female approached, her first impulse was to attack. But she noticed that she was approaching with her ears down and moaning. That was not done by someone who had the advantage and wanted to kill you.
When she was next to her, she licked the wound on her paw. The Grim took it back a little. The female wolf took another step and placed her head on her neck. The injured grim sensed that there was no hostile intent and lay down.
The wolf changed back into a human. For a second the Grim tensed before feeling them caress her. She liked the sensation and besides, she had little strength left to resist even if she wanted to.
"How is she?" Harry asked.
"I don't know," she answered. "But these wounds look bad," she said, carefully touching the cuts on the hindquarters. "If we don't heal them, she won't last long. We have to take her home."
" How do you expect us to take her? " The green-eyed man asked. " If we cast a spell other than doing nothing to her, she will surely be furious."
Hermione noticed that the creature was on some thin branches that were decaying on the ground.
" I already have it! " She took out her wand and murmured a spell with some effort.
Her husband looked at her when she finished. The twigs had transformed into a large sheet of wood. Then she placed some stones in the corners and cast another spell. The dark-haired man recognized the wheels that had been stuck to the wood.
" A board with wheels? " He asked.
" It's the closest thing to a stretcher that I have ever thought of. " She responded. " We can move it to one of the sheds to cure her."
"I hope she leaves us healthy," he replied. The girl noticed the large animal and became worried.
"She has fainted. I don't think I can comment," She replied. "We have to hurry!"
With the help of their relatives, they took the large animal to one of the huts next to the stables. The rest of the animals didn't like it very much, but being used to Shadow and Night, they soon calmed down to the new predatory smell.
"Dipsy!" said Hermione. An elf appeared.
"What does the mistress want?!" the elf asked.
" Tell Mrs. McGonagall and the rest that we have a badly injured and pregnant Grim. We need help or she will die." the elf disappeared with a bow.
Ten minutes later the adults of the house appeared in the shed.
" You didn't have enough with Shadow and Night! " Minerva said seriously. " I hope this creature doesn't kill you. " As she said so, she and Pomona began to move the wand over the animal.
"How is she?" Hermione asked.
" Bad. " Pomona responded. " She has several deep wounds and internal bleeding. " The former head of Hufflepuff sighed. " But we have time, she can be saved."
"She and her cubs," Minerva added. "They have not suffered any damage." The young couple sighed.
"I just hope the potions can overcome her natural resistance quickly enough," Pomona finished.
The two women helped by Enma, Andromeda, and a scared Tonks, began to treat the animal. It was fortunate that Enma suggested the non-magical method. With a syringe that her husband brought from a case, they were able to inject the potions into her, thus avoiding the creature's natural resistance. Enma herself stitched the wounds before the astonished Witches.
The improvement was visible just one hour after the last injection.
" That's all. " Pomona finally said. "She'll sleep until tomorrow. " A noise was heard at the entrance.
" What are you doing here? " Minerva asked when she saw Lavinia's head and another girl next to her.
"We wanted to see how she was," the young woman responded.
" She will be fine. " Pomona responded. " But it is important that you remember that she is not like Shadow and Night. " She told her seriously. " She is a wild and dangerous Grim. When she wakes up she will be in a place she doesn't know and she can attack the first one she sees. " She raised a finger in a threatening manner. " I don't want anyone near this place! " The young women tried to protest. " I don't care about your lycanthropic powers! " the girls tensed as they went. Referring to her former condition could only mean that there were people who did not know the secret and had to control what they said. They looked and saw the two women who had arrived in the morning. They nodded when they understood. "It is still a much larger creature than both of you combined," the witch continued.
" But…!"
" There is no discussion about this! " Harry said, making the two girls shut up. " Minerva and Pomona are right and you know it. " As he spoke, he stood next to them. " Tell everyone and explain the new rule. " The two girls nodded before going towards the house somewhat sadly. " What's wrong with them? " the green-eyed boy asked himself.
" They have played with Shadow and Night. " Dan Granger responded. " I'm sure they think another playmate would be great. " He smiled. " Imagine if they know that...! " Harry silenced him.
"Super-developed ear," he said in a low voice. The adult nodded, watching as the girls turned around and continued walking.
"I understand," he said gratefully. "We are saved!"
"Let's let her rest," said Pomona, summoning a large basin with water and some food in another. "When she wakes up she will be hungry." Everyone began to leave.
"I will leave the door open," said Minerva. "If she wakes up and sees herself trapped, she will destroy everything and could hurt herself."
With this done the group entered the castle, leaving the creature to recover.
{SCENE BREAK}
The Grim woke up two days later. The potions had cured her almost completely. She felt some pulling in her hind legs, but nothing compared to the agony before.
She realized that she was in a place she didn't know. Suddenly several smells reached her brain and she became alert. She recognized two of them and looked everywhere for their origin. She saw the water and the food and her instinct did the rest.
Once she was satisfied, she saw the exit outside and carefully approached.
The outside did not appear to be dangerous. There were a lot of different yet similar smells.
She saw Grims's partner from the day before appear. She put himself on guard but the rivals did not seem to want a fight.
When they were in front of her they smelled her as close as they could. Then each one went in one direction. The female went towards where she had woken up and the male towards the forest. The animal looked at the behavior of the young Grims without fully understanding it. Although she finally understood it when the female took out where the food had been and placed it on the ground. Immediately a large piece of meat appeared and she ate it. Then she picked it up again and put it inside that strange cave.
For his part, the male approached a tree and marked it with his urine.
Being a magical animal it had more consciousness than any other non-magical animal, and than some magical ones.
She understood that she had two options, she could stay where she was where they would give her food or she could go to the forest and return to her land since this place had an owner.
She didn't make a decision since nature did it for her. Her instinct told her that the time for the birth of her babies had arrived. If she left she would have trouble surviving after being expelled from her group. Inside the cave she could protect her young and food would not be a problem.
With a groan, she turned and entered the strange cave again.
Night, she looked at the Grim who seemed to move very carefully and not because of her injuries. Through their union, his sister saw it all. Hermione understood what was happening and let the Grim know. Shortly after, the young woman explained what was happening to her husband and the rest of the adults. From the door Lavinia, thanks to her powers, heard a word that made her smile, puppies!
The next day Hermione approached the shed making noise to warn of her presence. The Grim shook her head before snorting and returning inside.
The young woman took it as an invitation although she continued with caution. Behind at some distance Harry and the two familiar Grims waited.
The brunette looked inside and smiled. The Grim had made a hole in the ground that somewhat resembled a nest. Although living in swamps and cemeteries, it might as well be a shallow grave. On what could only be the remains of some sacks and dirt removed from the ground, the young woman saw the large creature looking at her. She could hear moans and small attempts at something resembling small barks.
Little by little she approached excitedly and crouched down.
The vision was incredible. The large creature was nursing about seven cubs, all of pure black.
"How beautiful!" said the young woman. She heard the creature's growl. "I'm not going to touch them," she said, taking a step away. She stayed for a while looking at the little ones. Then she carefully got up and stepped back. "I'm happy for you," She said before leaving. The Grim looked at her from the side, surprised by this creature.
"How is she?" Harry asked.
" Very good." she responded smiling." She has seven puppies! They are beautiful!" A half-moan was heard. "You are still beautiful Night," said the brunette, caressing her relative.
" We have to tell everyone." the boy said sighing." The others will find out soon."
"If they haven't already," Hermione added.
The couple went towards the castle caressing their relatives who followed them happily.
{SCENE BREAK}
Hermione wasn't wrong as soon as she gathered everyone together to explain something about the injured Grim, Lavinia couldn't contain herself any longer.
"How many puppies?! " She asked anxiously. Other girls moaned excitedly when they heard it. The couple looked at each other. Behind Minerva covered her face, guessing there would be problems.
"Seven," Harry answered. All the girls and a couple of little ones began to celebrate. "But no one should go near that shed!" he said as an order. "Hermione is the only one she lets get close and she still growled at her when she was very close to the babies." H looked at Lavinia, Imagining what smell would do to a curious girl.
"But with our powers...!" She tried to protest.
" Can you always escape from Shadow and Night? " Hermione asked. " She is older and has more hunting experience. " All the children fell silent. They had devised a game in which they tested their skills by running away from the two Grims. In addition to helping the two animals perfect their natural gifts. The beings proved to be very fast and powerful. Few had always been able to escape them.
"Then the issue is settled," Harry continued. "When she's better, she'll leave here with her babies and that's it." Shadow already made it clear that it is our territory and that we only let her stay.
" Is she that smart? " asked an astonished child.
" All magical animals are, regardless of their instinct, " Flitwich responded. " They have a higher consciousness than other animals. We could say that they have a certain intelligence. " He continued looking at everyone. " Shadow and Night are two very good examples."
" But they are family! " answered a girl.
"Yes, but even so the link only increased what was already there," the little professor finished.
" We will leave our visitor alone. " Minerva said. " Until she decides to leave us. " She clarified. " I hope everyone is aware of the rules and complies with them."
{SCENE BREAK}
The young Lupinids and the rest of the adults adapted well to the Grim's presence at the back of the castle. They avoided it and the being did not mess with them.
The being would leave the shed from time to time and take a short walk near the place, without losing sight of it. She relieved herself and returned inside with her puppies.
The only one she allowed near the place was Hermione. And she never let her touch her puppies.
Harry could stay close to the place but at a distance. If he approached she would growl and he didn't want to start a fight.
The Grim let another person approach to everyone's surprise.
One day Enma Granger took a walk in the nearby area. While looking at a set of flowers in a flowerbed, she felt someone watching her. When she turned around, she held her breath when she saw the creature less than five meters away, looking at her with its red eyes.
After sniffing the air a couple of times, the Grim returned with her kits.
The woman told everyone what happened and from time to time she approached the place with her daughter or Harry.
Although she never tried to enter the shed with her daughter. The warning growl was enough for her not to force the issue.
