Harry Potter November Challenge

In his third year Harry was bitten by Remus Lupin. That summer he went through the change before his fourteenth birthday and killed his relatives. Dumbledore, his friends, and the Order never knew about the Dursleys' deaths or Harry being a werewolf. Not even when he was at Hogwarts.

It was with Dobby's help that Harry had a golem for the three days of the full moon. Harry stayed in the Forbidden Forest during those days. The centaurs made sure he had food and water. No one suspected a thing.

During the Triwizard Tournament Harry knew something was going on. Something Dumbledore manipulated and Voldemort related. For Dumbledore it was keeping him in the tournament and his friends deserting him. For Voldemort it was the Defense professor smelling like Polyjuice potion.

Becoming one with his wolf, something he knew Remus would never do, made him stronger and more aware of everything around him. Harry was able to smell all the lies and deceit coming from Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. He knew Snape didn't hate him like the man let on, knew Fred, George, Luna and Neville were true friends.

So during the third task Harry quickly made it through the maze. He could feel the portkey on the Cup and touched it. Thanks to his enhanced reflexes he killed Pettigrew.

"Are you going to kill me now, Harry Potter?" The Voldemort creature asked.

"No. What was your plan tonight?" Harry picked up the childlike Dark Lord, settling him on his hip.

"Bone of the father, flesh of the servant, blood of the enemy."

"That wouldn't have worked the way you wanted it to." Harry told him. "I'm a werewolf now, my blood is tainted."

Voldemort hissed his displeasure. "No one informed me."

"No one knows. Not even Lupin who bit me." Harry explained. "A house-elf made a golem for my full moon days. Dumbledore doesn't even know that I killed my relatives the night I transformed for the first time."

"You pulled one over Dumbledore. I'm impressed, Harry Potter. Do you have a plan?"

"I'll transfigure this cloak into a mobi wrap then put a notice-me-not on it and you. We'll go to Snape. He is still loyal to you. I can sense it whenever he talks to Dumbledore and the old coot brings up your name." Harry explained to the Dark Lord, wanting the man to know that he trusted Snape.

"Okay. We'll go with your plan. Not like I have much of a choice."

"You always have a choice. You can use Pettigrew's Mark to summon a follower to help you." Harry spoke softly, calmly.

"No, we'll go with your plan. The others...I'm not positive on who I can trust yet."

"Alright. We need to leave now." Harry put the Dark Lord down carefully. He transfigured the cloak, then wrapped it around him like he had seen a mother do at the park once. He picked up the Lord and placed him in the wrap. Lastly he put the notice-me-not on the two.

Harry used the Cup to take them back to Hogwarts. It put him in front of everyone. He could hear Voldemort hissing in discomfort. But couldn't do anything to help as Dumbledore had made his way over.

"My boy, is everything alright?"

Harry clenched his teeth to stop from snapping at the old goat. "Everything is fine, Headmaster."

"Where did you go, Harry?"

"Nowhere but the Lake. The portkey took me to the Black Lake, I touched it again to come back here. Whoever set the portkey doesn't know what they are doing." Harry smiled. He heard Voldemort grumble lowly about interfering old men. "Can I go see Madam Pomfrey now, the Acromantula venom is getting worse."

"Yes, of course." Dumbledore said absentmindedly as he walked away lost in thought.

"Potter." The Polyjuiced man grabbed him.

"Barty, unhand him this instant." Voldemort ordered.

Harry watched the man step away quickly as if Harry had been on fire.

"Barty, I need to get to Snape." Harry spoke lowly. "Where is he?"

"The edge of the crowd. He's keeping his eye on Karkaroff while keeping track of you."

"Let's go before the crowd gets closer or Dumbledore turns around."

Barty pushed through everyone beelining towards Snape. Everyone could hear him say Infirmary as he got people out of the way.

"Professor, we...I need antivenin for an Acromantula bite." Harry informed the imposing man.

"Come along, Potter. Pomfrey doesn't have any in the hospital wing."

"Thank you, sir."

They silently and quickly made their way to the dungeons. Harry whispered to Barty to ward the room. Once the wards were in place Harry downed the potion when Snape handed to him. Then he removed the notice-me-not on Voldemort. He took him out the wrap and held on his hip again once he was covered with the cloak.

"Professor, he needs help. I saved him from using my blood, its tainted, So he needs another ritual."

"Tainted?" Severus raised an eyebrow then let out an animalistic growl. "That mangy wolf bit you, didn't he?"

"Yes, sir. I accepted it and became one with my wolf, its why I didn't come to you for that poisonous Wolfsbane." Harry answered.

"I'm going to kill that wolf." Severus said it like a promise.

"Later. Voldemort needs help now."

"We'll do the first ritual. I have a vial of your blood. I took it from Pomfrey after Dumbledore told her to take it and keep it until he needs it. I learned he wants to use it for several things including binding you to him."

"I would kill him first." Harry's eyes flashed amber.

"Where is the ritual set up?" Severus asked his Lord.

"Cemetery in Little Hangleton. Pettigrew's body is still there."

"Harry, you and Barty take the Lord, I'll meet you there after telling everyone you are sleeping off the effects of the potion."

"I know how to help. Dobby." Harry called out.

"Yous call for Dobby." The house-elf bowed to Harry.

"Dobby, put the Harry golem in the hospital wing asleep. It needs an Acromantula bite on it's leg and have antivenin in it's body."

"Dobby, can do that. Master Harry, Dobby needs your help with Winky."

"Winky." Barty called out after removing the Moody look.

"Master Barty!" Winky threw herself at her master.

"Winky, no more drinking." Barty ordered. "Also Harry is to be your second master. You are to help Dobby with anything Harry might need."

"Winky can do that. Winky likes Master Harry Potter." Winky bowed then popped out with Dobby.

"You need to do that to Kreacher." Severus whispered to Harry.

"Kreacher?"

"I'll explain later. We need to go."

An hour later a human looking Dark Lord was standing in front of them. Severus had to fix the potion that Pettigrew botched.

"Severus, who is still loyal?" Voldemort asked outright.

"I can tell you who isn't. After thirteen years of listening to Slytherin children."

"Very well, Severus. Who?"

"Avery's brother Christian. McNair is on the fence, he quite likes his job at the Ministry. Karkaroff needs to be killed. He named some of us during his trial. Its how Barty ended up in Azkaban. Bellatrix disobeyed and went after the Longbottoms. Her actions put Rabastan and Rodolphus in Azkaban with her. Dolohov is in Azkaban for killing the Prewett twins, still loyal though. Pettigrew, I learned last year was a traitor. He lived under Molly Weasley's protection via Dumbledore's orders. Parkinson defected so his daughter could have a marriage contract with a Grey family. Goyle and Crabbe defected for the same reason. Bulstrode is on the fence until his wife gives birth. And Regulus is dead. He went missing after you disappeared, no one had seen him since." Severus finished with a sad look.

"Parkinson, Goyle, Crabbe, Bulstrode, and McNair are going to face consequences for their actions. Bellatrix can enjoy her stay in Azkaban. Pettigrew is dead thanks to Harry. Severus, you can kill Karkaroff. Barty, you can have the pleasure of killing the youngest Avery brother. Harry, how did your godfather escape Azkaban?"

"His animagus form, my Lord. The dementors doesn't have need to go near animals. He formed a plan after he learned that information. The cell doors open magically to let the dementors in. He changed and escaped. He attacked the outside guard, took his wand, and apparated once he was passed the wards." Harry responded respectfully.

"Thank you, Harry. Severus is there a way to send a message to Azkaban?"

"Dawlish. Or a house-elf, my Lord."

"An elf can get someone out, leave a golem behind." Harry replied thoughtfully.

"An easy plan. Can your elf do it?"

Harry smirked. "Dobby. Winky."

"Master Harry." They bowed.

"I have an important mission for you. I need you two to retrieve Rabastan and Rodolphus Lestrange from Azkaban and leave golems behind. Can you do it?"

"We do it, Master Harry." Winky replied then popped out with Dobby.

"Barty, I'll need your arm." Voldemort turned to the younger man.

"Of course, my Lord." Barty held out his marked arm. Voldemort pressed his wand to it.

"Why is it on the arm?" Harry asked looked confused. "The back, shoulder, or chest would have been more ideal. No one else would have known it was there. Would have made it easier to hide from the Ministry."

"You know I do not know why I put them on the arm. You bring up a good point. I'll move them later." Voldemort turned his head when someone arrived. "Ah, Fenrir, thank you for joining us."

"Its good to see you back, my Lord. Why have I been called." The older wolf bowed.

"Fenrir meet Harry Potter. Harry, Fenrir Greyback. Fenrir, Harry has recently been turned by Remus Lupin. He'll need an Alpha."

"Remus." Fenrir spat out. "The one I regret turning. Should have let him die."

"He thinks Dumbledore is his Alpha because he got to attend Hogwarts and Dumbledore pays for the poison he drinks." Harry scowled. "It is nice to meet you, Alpha Greyback." He held out his hand after stepping closer to the wolf.

Fenrir clasped his hand around the smaller one. A breeze blew the young wolf's sense in his direction. He inhaled deeply then growled as he pulled the young wolf close.

"Mine. My mate." Fenrir growled as he nuzzled his nose against his mate's neck.

"Unhand him, wolf." Severus snarled, pressing his wand into Fenrir's neck. "He is only fourteen. You will not touch him."

"Fenrir, Severus is right. You will wait until Harry is of age." Voldemort's voice was hard and held the 'or else' warning in it.

Fenrir unnoticeably licked his mate's neck, Harry shivered. Then lifted his head. "Very well." The wolf didn't release his mate, just held him closer and tighter.

"My Lord, Harry and I need to get back. Barty as well." Severus spoke keeping his eye on the wolf.

"Yes, must not let the old fool think something is going on. I owe you a great debt, Harry. And before you leave, where have you been staying since you killed your relatives?"

"You what?!" Severus shouted.

"I'm living alone. Dobby makes a Vernon golem to send him to work or get money for me. I tell the neighbors and Vernon's sister that Petunia and Dudley moved to another country. Vernon's sister isn't going to come around after my magical display on her. The Ministry was suppose to obliviate her but instead made sure she couldn't tell anyone. So I don't have to worry about her anymore."

"Well no more." Severus stated firmly. "You are going to be living with me from now on."

"Sir, with all due respect, I like living alone. I spent thirteen years in hell. Thirteen years of Petunia telling me I will never amount to anything, that I'm only good for cooking and cleaning, that freaks like me won't ever have love or family. Thirteen years of feeling Vernon's fists, feet, belt, knives, and any other object he could use as a weapon. Thirteen years of getting teased, laughed at, shoved, hit, pushed down the stairs, pushed into walls, doorjambs, counters, and cleaning up after Dudley. Not to mention thirteen years of putting up with Dudley's friends, their bullying and beatings. I want to be alone until I want to start a family." Harry hated that there was tears blurring his vision.

Severus pulled the young boy into his arms and held him tight. He felt the small body start shaking against him. He looked at the other men, each one looked how he felt. Angry, so angry that this child had to endure the same life they lived through.

"Severus, let him stay where is. We will each take a shift. Stay with him for a couple weeks until he needs to return to Hogwarts." Voldemort didn't bother to hide the fury in his voice.

"I want to take him to the pack. They will help heal him, give him a sense of family and belonging. He'll need it, especially since he's the Alpha Omega." Fenrir replied. "Maybe he can come after leaving Hogwarts. Just so his muggle neighbors don't question anything. Or he can join the pack two weeks before Hogwarts starts again."

"A better idea would be to let him be with the pack the week of the moon." Barty responded.

Before anyone could continue Dobby and Winky appeared with Rodolphus and Rabastan. The two wizards looked confused and bewildered.

"Master Harry. Dobby and Winky is back."

Harry stepped out of Severus' arms and wiped his face before facing the elves. "Thank you. Please return to Hogwarts. Keep an eye on Dumbledore and the traitors."

"Yes, Master Harry." They bowed before popping out.

"Rodolphus, Rabastan, how are you faring?" Voldemort asked his followers.

Both bowed to their Lord.

"We're good, my Lord. We learned that Dementors will leave you alone if you feel extremely angry. Rab and I lived with that anger for ten years." Rodolphus replied.

"Good. Also you do not have to worry about Bellatrix. She is staying where she is."

"My Lord, Bellatrix and I were no longer bonded. I broke the bond before she defied your orders." Rodolphus informed the man.

"Good thinking." Voldemort smirked.

"My Lord, why did you want the Longbottoms left alone?" Rabastan asked respectfully.

"Two reasons. One Augusta Longbottom was going to move the votes from Grey to Light. Frank had one more year before he could take the seats from her. And two, Alice is my cousin from an off branch Gaunt. She had been adopted by the McMillan family, who are unmarked supporters. Bellatrix cost me several Grey votes." Voldemort explained.

"My Lord, I am taking Harry back now." Severus injected as he wrapped an arm around the teen.

Voldemort turned to face the two. "Very well. I'll see you both in a few weeks."

Harry and Severus nodded and bowed before Severus apparated them both back to Hogwarts.

Harry spent the remaining time at Hogwarts ignoring everyone. He spent his weekends and most nights in the dungeons. A week before the end of term Snape informed him of Dumbledore wanting Sirius to open the Black home to be used as Headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. Snape explained everything right down to Hermione and the Weasleys moving into the house. Harry was furious so he called Kreacher, whom Severus had met with Dumbledore when they found where Black was hiding. It didn't take long to get the elf on his side. Once he had the elf's sworn loyalty he ordered Kreacher to lock the house and ward it against anyone who dares to enter. Kreacher was happy to do it for his new master.

When he stepped through the barrier onto the muggle world he was surprised to see Barty. Harry hadn't seen the man since the graveyard. He did hear from Neville that the real Moody had been found inside a trunk. Harry stepped up to the man, grasped his sleeve and got them moving before the Weasleys showed up. Barty pulled him into an alley and apparated them directly into number four.

"How did you get past the wards?"

"My Lord transferred them to the Squib's house. Along with the monitoring charms the old man had tied to you. Neither he nor the Ministry can detect any magic usage in this house." Barty explained with a crazed grin.

"And the neighbors?"

"All spelled to not see anything. A modified confundus spell, they will see nothing out of the ordinary. Don't worry about anything. Next week you are going to spend time with the Greyback pack. Fenrir will bring you back here. Severus will stay that week, he is also going to take you to Gringotts. The Lord wants you to take control of everything under the Potter name." Barty explained everything as they sat on the couch.

"And the Black name too I suppose." Harry added. "Kreacher, the Black elf, informed me that I'm the Heir to everything the Blacks own. I was able to stop Dumbledore and the Order from taking control over the house." Harry told the man. Then he remembered what they talked about at the graveyard. "So you and the others need to be warned that Dumbledore might show up if he thinks I'm behind the lock down."

"Don't worry everything is all handled." Barty patted Harry's cheek. "Now lets get some food. What do you recommend?"

Harry enjoyed his week with Barty, even though he had told the older men he wanted to be alone. He liked the man's twisted sense of humor. Barty was like the crazy uncle your mother tells you to stay away from because he's a bad influence. It was with that thinking that Harry laughs because he knows Snape will make that comment. He even bet Barty twenty galleons on it.

Then his week with the pack arrived. Barty apparated him to Fenrir's cabin. Fenrir let him get settled in before meeting everyone.

Harry loved the pack right away, and he didn't mind that they all referred him as Alpha Luna. Harry could feel his wolf preening every time someone said it. When he told Fenrir the older wolf just laughed as he shook his head. Within hours the Omegas were deferring to him. And Harry slipped into his role seamlessly. Even the pack Elders accepted him.

Running under the moon with his Alpha and their pack was heady and joyful. Harry felt the connections between him and the others snap into place. He knew then that he would always know when they needed him. Harry also felt his connection to Fenrir's form. There was no hesitation when he bared his neck and let Fenrir bite him, marking him as the Alpha's mate. That night and each night after Harry slept curled into Fenrir's body as the Alpha protected him.

Harry didn't want to leave. The pack didn't want to let him go, but they understood his situation. Harry promised to return every full moon. He also told them that they could owl him for anything. Harry was going to spend his remaining summers with them. Once Hogwarts was over and Dumbledore was handled Harry was going to come back and never leave. The pack is his family now, he was going to protect them and love them.

Between Harry and Severus they almost leveled Gringotts in with their rage. Dumbledore was the reason. It seems the old man was not above stealing. To make matters worse he was using Harry's money to pay other people including Molly, Ron, Ginny and Hermione. What spiked their anger was the blocks Dumbledore put on Harry along with leeching his magic.

Harry happily allowed Gringotts to handle everything, from getting his money and property back to filing reports against everyone and sending it to the Ministry. Though the goblins were going to mete out their own punishment. Harry couldn't keep a smile off his face after that.

The week before he was due back to the pack, Harry had a run in with the dementors. Luckily he had Barty with him. The older man had quickly apparated them out and back to the house. He left Harry to floo call Voldemort and Severus. Just after the two men arrived a howler from the Ministry appeared. It informed Harry that he was going to get his wand snapped and he was expelled from Hogwarts. Voldemort floo'd Lucius right away. The letter that came from Molly stated that Dumbledore was going to handle everything and to not leave the house.

Harry looked at Severus. "How would he know this fast?"

"One of his pets at the Ministry informed him." Severus sneered.

Voldemort came back into the room. "Its a power play between the old coot and the bumbling fool. Lucius informed me of everything. Fudge heard a rumor of Dumbledore building an army and you're the poster boy for recruits. Dumbledore is using your name to tell people that I'm returning. I told Lucius to remind the two fools that thanks to the tournament you are an adult. Lucius will also mention off hand how you can sue the Ministry for the Dementor attack because they are under the Ministry's control." Voldemort deviously smirked.

Harry matched it with his own. "Good. I think I'll sue them for this. And for the incident my second year. Sending me a warning for underage magic when a house-elf was the one responsible."

"Do so quickly before someone turns this situation into a trial." Severus warned.

Harry wrote a quick letter and told Hedwig to take it to the Head of the DMLE. Within an hour Harry received a response from Madam Bones stating that all charges have been filed. Lucius arrived shortly after to tell them that Fudge is besides himself and getting his undersecretary to make everything go away, to dismiss everything against Harry. It seems that the idiot man didn't waste any time building a case against Harry. Lucius also told them that Dumbledore looked furious when he was reminded of Harry's status as an adult. The fury doubled when he was told that he was facing charges for stealing from vaults that did not belong to him. Everyone at the Ministry heard it.

The next day Harry was sent to the pack early. Neither Severus nor Voldemort wanted Dumbledore to get to Harry. They had the golem Vernon stay at the house to let Dumbledore know that Harry left to stay with Petunia and Dudley for the rest of the summer. Golem Vernon was going to say that Petunia needed a slave while Dudley was home from school.

Either way Harry didn't care. He was happy to be with his pack again. And his Alpha for that matter. During the moon he and Fenrir took part in the chase. Where the Omega wolf gives chase and the dominant has to catch them and prove they are strong enough to be the Omega's mate. The chase is generally for the unmated wolves who are ready to have cubs. Harry found it thrilling to run through the trees with Fenrir chasing after him. Fenrir caught him a few hours later, Harry didn't make it easy. The large grey wolf tackled him and held him down with his jaw clamped around Harry's neck. Harry whined submissively both as a surrender and because he felt Fenrir's erection pressed against his belly. Fenrir released his neck and licked his muzzle. Harry whined again and wiggled his body against the erection. He went still when Fenrir let out a warning growl. Once again they laid curled around each other.

Harry celebrated his fifteenth birthday with his pack. His new family both wizards and wolves made it a joyous occasion. It was the first birthday he truly enjoyed. His mate gifted him with a gold necklace with a flat rounded moon pendent. The moon was a purple/grey in color. Fenrir informed him that it will protect him against spells and potions, especially mind magic and love potions. And it was also an open ended portkey.

"Whenever you want to be here just say 'Alpha's mate' it will bring you to the cabin."

Harry hugged his mate and after making sure Voldemort and Severus was not looking he kissed the older man. After some slight hesitation Fenrir kissed him back. They pulled apart when Harry got hit with a stinging hex. When he looked around he spotted Barty smirking at him. Harry hit the man with a stinging hex of his own. Of course it started a war between them, at least until Severus and Voldemort took their wands away. The two older men had a look of exasperated annoyance, but Harry saw the relief and humor in their eyes.

When Harry boarded the train to return to Hogwarts he hid in the Slytherin compartment. He and Draco had had a chance to talk and make amends. One of the other Slytherins, Nott, made a mention of re-sorting when Harry brought up that he wasn't looking forward to returning to Gryffindor. The re-sorting idea had its merits, the only downside was Dumbledore and Ron making his life hell. Harry decided to go forward with the idea. Severus could protect him better and it would make it easier to see Voldemort and the pack.

So after the first years were sorted, Harry stood up and declared a re-sort. Dumbledore couldn't oppose because the new Defense teacher was the Undersecretary for the Minister. then right in front of the whole school Harry went from Gryffindor to Slytherin. After he sat down next to Draco the whole school erupted into an uproar. It took several loud fireworks from Dumbledore to settle the three houses down. Harry could see that the Undersecretary was displeased by it all.

It didn't take long to get rid of the woman. In fact all it took was one unnecessary detention for Harry. The following week Harry learned that both she and Fudge earned a trip to Azkaban.

Harry's remaining three years were in fact not that bad. Voldemort deceived Dumbledore and taught Defense for those years. His ex-friends left him alone when they each got suspended for hexing Harry while his back was turned. And Dumbledore...well he left Harry alone when both Severus and Voldemort got the School Board involved when Dumbledore tried to overturn the suspensions.

Harry portkeyed to his pack as soon as he stepped off the train for the last time. He wasn't going back unless he absolutely had to.

The day of the full moon the pack Elders bonded he and Fenrir. Severus, Voldemort, Barty, the Lestrange brothers, and the Malfoy family stood for Harry. That night he and his husband participated in another chase. This time Fenrir claimed him completely. Harry loved the knot and the fierce way Fenrir took him. What he loved the most was the feeling of a new life forming inside him.

The Alpha and Alpha Omega spent many happy years together. Their pack flourished and expanded, making it the largest pack in the world. Harry never once regretted being a werewolf.
