Chapter Eight
Riddle Manor October 15th, 2000 7 A.M.
The meeting room in the manor was very interesting. The Round table had ten black leather chairs and three silver chairs. On the marble table the Alphas crest rested. The background was green with a texture of snake skin, in the middle a gold snake moving in a circle and in the middle of that there were two wolves one white and the other black.
Tom sat in the middle of the round table with Loren to his left and Hermione to his right. Lucius, Narcissa, Severus, and Regulus sat at the round table like always. The only thing that made this meeting different was the guest seated with them. It wasn’t uncommon to have other magical leaders in their meeting but this time, the meeting wasn’t due to political gain in their own land. But about one single man that had hurt every single person on this table, Albus Dumbledore.
Remus, Sirius, and Luna sit with them alongside Draco, Blaise and Fred who were members of the pack but never called to the pack leader meeting. “Very well friends, I hope you are all not too hungover.” Tom said with a smile on his lips teasing them all. Sirius glares at the tall dark hair wizard and flips him off. “Fuck off Riddle and hand over the pepper up potion. Only a bastard like you has a meeting to introduce your daughter to the entire pack and not expect for us to drink.” Sirius grunts.
“Sirius! Watching your mouth is not our fault that you can’t handle your alcohol. Now down your potion and shut up.” Regulus tells his brother to push a potion down to him. Sirius glares at his baby brother and flips him off too. “Do remember little brother, who is the oldest here. Now why did you call us in such a fucken early Riddle?” Tom shakes his head in amusement.
Taking a sit after he makes sure everyone has a pepper up potion and downing it. “Well all of us here have one similar enemy, Albus Dumbledore. You all know what he did to us and our daughter, the Malfoys were also hurt when Narcissa was torture to the point where she wasn’t able to bare children again. Severus and Regulus had to run away with us because as you all remember Dumbledore has a hate for same sex marriages. Here they are able to be a married couple and respected for their power. Fred Johnson, was kicked out of the pack when all he was doing was protecting an omega. Now he had to take his wife’s family name due to him been banished from his family tree. Miss Luna Lovegood’s family have been mocked and pushed to the side when she is a very talented witch… And of course we can’t forget what happened to Regulus and Sirius. They were as hurt as us, blamed for a crime they didn't commit and having their godson taken away from them.” Tom informed them all.
Luna is the first one to look behind her “I knew you couldn't have done it. My mother told me how good friends you all were. I told Harry he needed to find out the truth but Dumbledore has brainwashed his head. He thinks he is all alone in the world. That is why he does everything Dumbledore tells him to do because he has promised him a family… Which he will get when he marries Ginevra.” Luna tells them and then looks down. Hermione wants to go over and hold her friend. But Fred is there holding her hand tight.
Regulus looks at the young blonde witch. “You’re in love with Harry aren’t you?” he asked softly. Luna wipes a tear away and nods. “But he is to marry her in March in the Spring Solstice.” Luna informed them. Fred shook his head. “The worst part of all this is that Ginny used you to get closer to the Chosen One. She knew that you two were friends and my, our mother told her to find a way to get closer to him. She knew that Dumbldore would want an omega one day for his golden boy so my mother made it easier.” Fred told them all.
Regulus, the head of the pack's security, looked at the young man. “My Lord, I have a thought that if I may deliver it, it has something to do with your daughter.” the dark hair wizard asked. Tom nods and crosses his fingers across his stomach. Regulus sits up and looks at everyone before talking. “I think I know why Dumbldroe took our pack princess. Our Luna is an omega meaning her daughter would most likely also be one. If he had always wanted to give the young Potter boy an omega. Which one better than taking the daughter of his enemy to then have her marry his chosen one As we all know an Alpha can control an omega especially a weakened omega.” Regulus started to explain.
“But Dumbledore couldn't have her living with him and Potter. One would have noticed a new adopted daughter right after we lost our leader's daughter, So he gave her to the one family who had many children and followed his every word. What he didn’t expect was for Mrs. Weasley to be so selfish. To want her daughter to be their next Luna and suppress Hermione’s gift not knowing who Hermione really was. I wonder what will happen when he finds out they ruined his plan.” Regulus finished with a smile that was all too much family Black.
Tom’s eyes had gone red in anger as Draco’s eyes turned silver gray. “I think this is a good time as ever to thank Fred for having sex with Hermione right before her heat came.” Luna tells them calmly, making everyone turn around and look at her. “What? Did I say something wrong?” Luna asked, her eyes not blinking. Hermione bursted out laughing.
“This is not fucken funny Hermione!” Draco said his eyes were still silver. “Do not yell at my daughter Malfoy!” Tom yelled back at the furious man. “Will you two calm down, sit down and come out of it Tom Marvolo Riddle.” Loren scolded her husband. Tom let out a deep breath, murmured something in parseltongue, and sat back down.
“That is so cool. I have heard Lunas can calm down their Alphas too. But why are they so upset about what I said?” Luna asked. “Because you just reminded Hermione’s father and mate that I slept with her.” Fred said with eyes looking at the men who wanted to kill him with a stare. But thankfully the deep voice of Severus broke the silence and made Luna’s statement make sense .
“What Miss. Lovegood was trying to say was if Mr. Weasley… I mean Johnson wouldn't have slept with Miss. Riddle Dumbledore would have figured out she was an omega and had made them get married. We would have lost her forever then.” Severus said, Luna nodded “I knew you liked me professor. But how are we going to make everyone see what Dumbledore did? Also I am sorry to ask but Harry is my friend and I want to know who did kill them.” Luna asked them.
Remus and Sirius looked down on the table. “We are gathering intel but we are almost one hundred percent sure that it was Dumbledore himself. While he might not have been the man who pointed the wand and killed them. He was the one who opened the door for their murderer.” Regulus said, holding Severus' hand. Regulus knew that his husband was bisexual and that Severus' first love was Lily Evans Potter. They had disconnected when Lily found out James Potter was his mate, and when Severus found out Lily had died he had broken. Because Regulus loved Severus he wanted to get revenge for his husband's first love.
“Poor Harry, can't we tell him about Dumbledore before? What if he marries her, marries Ginevra who doesn't love him and becomes Alpha with the rules Dumbledore will make him vow to.” Luna asked with tears starting to come out from her eyes. Tom’s lips started to roll into a wicked smile as he looked at the young blonde witch. “I think we found our trojan horse. What do you say, Miss. Lovegood, willing to help us?” Tom asked, sitting forward and locking eyes with the witch.
“Dad? What do you mean using Luna? She is not a pack, you can’t ask her to do something like that. To be a double spy?” Hermione told her father. “Is okay Hermione. Your father knows I don’t want to be part of his pack but if I can help Harry I am willing to do it. What do you need me to do Mr. Riddle?” Luna asked. Tom smiled and nodded. “I am glad Miss. Lovegood and if all goes as planned not only will the young Mr. Potter be free from the clutches of Dumbledore but that other witch too.” Tom informed her.
Luna blushes slightly as she nods. “But before I tell you how I want you to be of help to us. I want to tell you and my daughter how we assumed Dumbledore was able to take her away. Because if I don’t I am sure she will shift into her wolf and bite my head off and I am still too handsome for that to happen.” Tom winked at Hermione who only rolled her eyes. ‘From intel and intelligence Regulus has come up with there was only one person who could have helped Dumbledore. He had his own trojan horse come into our land, a blonde wizard by the name of Gilderoy Lockhart. We found him in the woods beat up about a year after Hermione was born. He stayed in the pack as a professor but strangely enough after Hermione was taken he mysteriously disappeared. Of course when we did find him well he wasn’t himself anymore. He had been completely obliviated, he doesn’t even remember that he is a wizard.” Tom informed both witches.
“Tom, if I may continue to explain to Miss. Lovegood her mission.” Loren asked, Tom just smiled and kissed her hand. “You see dear while I might not have gotten the gift of magic from Morgana. Life has given me intelligence, I know you are a seer which means your mind and magic is very protected. Which means you can’t be harmed.” Loren told her first to assure her she was safe.
“We want you to go back home and reconnect with Mr. Potter. You will leave in two days in does days Severus will put a falls memory of your stay here, making sure Dumbledore doesn't catch on to our plan. We want you to bring Mr. Potter back here no later than December the 18th. Do you understand your mission Miss. Lovegood?” Loren asked more serious than ever.
Hermione couldn't even blink at the sight of her mother and Luna. For the first time since she knew Luna did Hermione actually see the power her friend held. If Potter didn’t see how Luna could be his LUNA in the definition of pack leader, he would be an idiot. Both his mother and Luna had the same stare in control and powerful.
“Dang if I wasn’t happily and fully in love with my wife. I would be in love with both of you right now. With all do respect boss.” Fred told them with a wide smile. Tom only huffs and nods his head. “Miss Lovegood your answer.” Loren asked again ignoring the young man. Luna nods softly without disconnecting her eyes to does of Loren Riddle.
They say you do stupid things for love, well looks like she is about to do one. That was accepting a deal with the people her whole life was told were Death Eaters and with the wife of the man who should not be named. But in the weeks she had stayed with them, her eyes were opened and she realized everything she was told was a lie.

Dumbledore Pack Land October 17th 2000
Two days later Luna hugged Hermione goodbye and was taken to the edge of the Riddle land. She was instructed to make a patronus to call for help. Harry was the first one to arrive on horseback, Hedwig bumped his nose to her as his owner came off him. Harry ordered his men to look around for ‘Death Eaters’ as he walked over to Luna. Harry froze when he saw her and quickly pulled her into his arms.
“Thank Merlin. Fuck Luna I…we were so worried about you. Look at you, have they even fed you? Did they hurt you? Did they dare touch you?” Harry asked, cupping her face. Luna had only drank liquids since the meeting to give the impression she hadn't eaten in days or ate very little. She had also only slept for four hours a day to look ghostly.
“I am okay Harry, I was fed but not that much, but no, they didn’t hurt me or touch me. But they did keep Jane, the Weasleys stuck a deal and left us behind so they could get their son. Did they even tell my dad?” Luna said the script she had remembered.
Harry found and looked at her blue eyes. “The Weasleys knew where you were all this time? I have been looking for you since the ball. You never showed up and I got worried. I even got in a fight with Ginny because of it and her family knew… I can't believe it. Come on since your father is still away on his creature mission you can stay at my place.” Harry told her picking her up and sat her on his horse. Sitting behind her and pulling her close to his chest he rode off telling his men to follow.
“I am so happy you are okay Luna. I don't know what I would do if I lost you too.” Harry whispered, kissing the top of her hair. Luna took a deep breath and let her eyes close. The first steps into the grand plan had started. Now she just had to figure out how to get Harry to the Riddle Pack land.

Riddle Pack November 14th 2000
It had been a month since Hermione found out who she really was. In the last month she had said goodbye to Luna and seen Draco go off on a mission. Thankfully her father had kept her busy with training and preparing to take over the pack. While blood magic made her body change into what it should have been. It didn’t changer body internally which meant her body was weak and had to be build up. The first night out in the woods had ended with Hermione with a fever in bed. Loren had glared at him but he told her he needed to straighten their daughter core and wolf.
Then there was the training with Snape to keep on learning all the years she had missed without magical education. From what Snape had seen when he had asked her to show him how much magic she had learned. He came up with the conclusion that she was in a third year level. While she had read all the books Fred had left her, she just knew the theory of seventh year student. But then there was the fact she hadn’t been practice no points. Which him been a potion master was the biggest slap in the face. Snape made sure Hermione learned all the potions she could, while Naricissa helped her in charms and transfiguration.
“Come on honey, you have to keep your guard up.” Tom said as he watched Hermione spare with Pansy. The two girls had on protective gear and were pointing their wands. But Tom also showed their pack members how to fight with their bodies. Telling them that sometimes they wouldn't have their wands and would have to fight with their hands. Two hours later Pansy and Hermione were on the floor of the training floor sweaty.
“Well, well, well look at we have here. Our little princess and her popper.” Astoria said as she started to walk in to the training room with her older sister and Marcus’s sister next to her. Pansy stood up next to Hermione and crossed her arms. “Watch it Greengrass you know who you are talking to now. She is not the witch you thought she was.” Pansy reminded them.
But the three other girls just laugh. “Shut it Parkinson go heal a rat or something and stay out of it.” Daphne, Astoria’s sister said. Astoria calmed her sister down and walked to stand in front of Hermione. “You must be loving aren’t you. Finding out your father is our Alpha. That the council voted you in to lead us. Bunch of fools all of them, you are not strong enough a fourth year Durmstrange can win in a duel with you. You are pathetic and weak.” Astoria said and then laughed. “But remember Draco is still mine. You might be Riddle’s daughter but Draco is mine, he was promised to me and you will not take him away from me or you will see who I really am. Remember you might be wearing a crown on your head now, might have an actual body, but you are still a pathetic witch.” Astoria said getting so closed to Hermione their noses touched.
Hermione just stood their and heard the words Astoria said. She had been talked down to for years and back then she thought she didn’t have anyone other then Luna. But now she had a family and more friends who had liked her even before they knew who she was and she had her magic. Astoria had another thing coming if she thought she would just let her keep Draco. He was her mate and no one would take him away from her.
“Very brave of you Greengrass talking down to Hermione after Alpha Riddle has left. But i dare you speak to her like that in front of him or Luna Loren and I am sure you will shit yourself first and then be force to eat it before you spoke to Hermione like that.” Pansy said. Astoria just looked down on Pansy and laughed. “You think you are so much because Blaise is going marry you but remember your place, your just another dog in this pack. Blaise is just another soldier. while I will marry Draco one of the heads of this pack.” Astoria said and then walked away with her sister and friend behind her.
Pansy wanted to go after them but Hermione stopped her. When Pansy turned she saw Hermione’s eyes had turned yellow another sign of her power. “We do not go down to their level. Astoria greengrass can bark all she wants. I will be the one who gives the final bite that will finish her. She think she can have Draco well she be in for a rude awakening when I marry my mate.” Hermione said
December 2nd 2000
Hermione was moaning in her sleep, her body hurt and she thought she was coming down with a cold. Her body shivered in pain and she felt warm, but there was something not quiet right. Hermione felt like something was missing and she was wet. “Fuck!” she screamed she was in heat and Draco was not here. Didn’t the healer say it wouldn't be till next month. “Winky!” Hermione moans in pain.
Not even ten second later the warm hearted house elf pops up. As soon as Winky makes contact with Hermione the house elf’s go wide. “Oh my my misses is in heat. Winky will get my madam.” Winky said quickly popping out again. Hermione moaned in pain, she could feel her Omega and wolf fighting each other. Her omega demanded for her alpha’s cock, while her wolf was trying to protect her human from the pain. But her wolf and her were one and they both felt the pain.
☆☆☆
“Madam, madam Winky’s misses has just got into heat. She is suffering, she is in so much pain!” Winky yells in worry as she pops into the library. Loren closes her book loud and yells for her husband. “TOM!!! TOM RIDDLE GET OUT HERE!!!” Loren yelled down the hall. She started to walk back and forth worried. What will they going to do? Draco was not due to next week and her daughter had already suffered enough. Fuck they needed to help Hermione.
Tom came in four minutes later into the library with two of his men behind him wands out in the ready. “What is wrong? Where is the attacker?” Tom asked looking around the library as there was someone hiding behind long 10 feet window curtains. “GET OUT! You two get out and make sure no one get close to the left wing!” Loren screamed her eyes going gold as they did when she was angered. Tom looked at his wife in worry and nodded at his men. The two wizards ran out scared. While Loren Riddle was a sweet and caring Luna you did not want to anger the woman unless you wanted to be severely injured. She might not have magic or be a shifter but she had a beautiful left hook, a stunning round house and a deadly kick in the balls.
As soon as his men had left Tom looked over to his wife who was still in anger. “Love? Are you okay? What is wrong?” Tom asked carefully. “Hermione. Hermione has gone into heat. What are we going to do?” Loren asked her eyes going back to normal. Tom swore and kicked a chair, “Fuck! Let’s go see her and let’s try to get her to the hospital wing. They can give her one of does potions.” Tom said making his wife huff.
When they finally arrived in front of Hermione’s door thirty minuets after Winky had enformed Loren about the situation. They had first gone to get the potion Hermione would need as well as some food. But when they got to their dauther’s door there was a huge shield around her bedroom door. Winky was on the other side. When she saw her masters, she walked threw the shield folding her ears in half and walking out threw the other side.
“Winky misses is not suffering anymore, she won’t be needing that potion but the food I will take. Don’t you worry Winky will take care of them. But Winky will need more food, water, and potion to recover.” the female house elf said with a wide smile. Loren tried to hide her laugh as her husband looked at his daughter’s bedroom on horror. “Who is in there?” he asked.
Winky just smiled and sighed. “Well misses mate young Mr. Draco.” Winky said suing. Fuck his daughter had gone into heat and was about to be mated.
