Chapter 2
Harry could hear the fighting going on around him, feel the chill of the dementors dissipating, but for the first time he could remember he felt safe. The black and gold wings surrounding him were grounding him in a way he had never felt before and the two sets of wings, one black and cream and and the other cream and orange that he could see standing in front of him were so warm and inviting, especially now that they were no longer trying to take him from his papa.
Encased in that safe feeling within his own mind, and following his instincts, which hadn’t led him astray in years, he snuggled into the dark form attached to those wonderful wings and bit into his neck. The twist, shift feeling inside him told him that this was the correct thing to have done and that this person belonged to him.
After a few moments he felt someone try to pry his mouth off the neck of his safe person, whoever they were, and without releasing them, he growled. A light chuckle followed his growl, along with the soft words, “He is yours little one, no one will take him from you.” With a nod of understanding, Harry finally gave into the call of unconsciousness.
Bill
Bill knew that once he became a dragel there was a chance that he would be called by a soul-scream. Part of his training that he went through each year with Malachi was so that he could be the best Alpha he could to his submissive and to his circle as he could. He had started networking with people, although Charlie being mentored by Princess Ebony put him in a very good spot politically, and he felt he was ready to start hunting. Although the next Hunt wasn’t for another 6 years in Nevarrah, he was hoping to have a working triad before that.
He had even purchased a piece of land that was perfect for all elements, something that his instincts said was needed, which confused him greatly, but he had started building on the area already.
What he wasn’t prepared for, even in the case of a soul scream was first, appearing on the edge of Hogwarts grounds. He knew that there were others there hiding their inheritance, just like his brothers, but he never thought that a submissive would be on the grounds. The second thing he was not prepared for with his circle was that any of his brothers would be in it, let alone the twins, he knew they had inherited but not what their ranks were. The third thing that he was not prepared for was the sheer size of the circle, and based on the fact that it appeared that there was half of a suite missing, some of the circle must have blocks on them, he had counted 23 people so far, not including his submissive.
The final blow to his system however was when the fighting finally stopped and the Pareya who had their wings wrapped around who he assumed was his submissive moved them. There lay Harry Potter. The Boy-Who-Lived was apparently a dragel, and not only that, he was also Bill’s new submissive.
The only female among the whole group walked over to his brothers, who relaxed upon seeing her and the other boy with her, and started talking to Fred and George. One of them, he thought it was George, ran over to another boy, this one obviously a Gheyo, and they headed off into the woods a short way, coming back with a third person between them. From her looks, she was not a part of the soul scream and was very confused but at the same time very worried about Harry as well.
Walking over to his passed out submissive, he was immediately flanked on both sides, this was good he thought to himself, a circle this big, which was obviously going to end up as a military circle, would need a Rheyo. Seeing his submissive passed out on top of Sirius Black of all people made his instincts rise up, and his hair catch fire.
The two consorts, for he now recognized the girl to be Luna Lovegood, who lived near the Burrow and was friends with Ginny until her mother died, and the other Neville Longbottom, who he knew from his Aunt Muriel, who tried to teach all of his mothers children the things they would need to know in the future, including those who hold seats in the Wizengamot, quickly stepped in front of him, stopping him in his tracks and taking his focus off of the escaped mass murderer in front of him.
“Harry would never forgive you if you attacked his third,” Luna said with a dreamy voice. “After all, they have only just found each other.” While that didn’t explain much, it did assuage some of Bill’s fears at least.
He glanced around at the large circle Harry had called to him, and let out a whistle to get everyone together and to circle up.
“We will need to leave soon Alpha,” said a tall white haired man, holding a staff. “I can feel the torvak magic in the air, it is not safe here.” Several others nodded along with the man.
“I have a place we can go that would be safe for all of us and has a nice water area for our Merrow,” said one of his Beta’s, the one who was doing a very good job at grounding him right now, and was very obviously an Earth element. “My mentor should be here soon and will direct everyone who follows on where to go as well.”
As the group circled up, Bill could see a slight bit of awe as well as trepidation in the beta’s eyes. It was understandable, he had probably never portaled a group this large. Luckily someone stepped up behind him to help guide and ground him. For some reason this person looked very familiar to Bill, but he couldn’t place where he had seen him before. Before he could ponder it too much he heard, “Temptrificus Portgas, Nott Manor Courtyard.”
The portal landed them softly, and the mage who had mentioned the torvak magic, as well as the blonde hair teal eye man were hovering over Harry casting on him, as well as Sirius, who was being guarded by two of the Gheyo.
It didn’t take long for people to start arriving in the courtyard, including his uncles, their alpha, and it looked like their joker as well. Everyone who had someone show up for them quickly headed their way, letting everyone know that they were ok. It was also at this time that Bill put a name to the familiar looking Earth Dragel. He had only seen him up close twice, but there was also no mistaking the royal Gheyos that had arrived either. Harry had called the Earth Crown Prince Raspen to him in his soul scream. Charlie and Ebony were never going to let him live this down.
Bill also recognized the Cunningham submissive, which in hindsight now made sense as looking around he saw that one of the Ace’s was the Blood Raven. Well, Fred and George had told him in one of their letters that Harry was very powerful despite his age and his classroom performance.
Trying to gather everyone back up near Harry, Bill took a seat next to his little submissive, who was now being held by Fred, while the mage, and apparently healer, talked amongst themselves. Meanwhile George and the other Pareya hovered over Harry and around the rest of the circle trying to see if anyone needed anything.
“Let's all introduce ourselves while we wait for Harry, our little submissive to wake up,” Bill said.
