13. Into Fire, A New Cub and Healing. Pt 2.

It was with that, that 30 minutes later Fenrir Greyback and Tom Riddle entered the room "Father" Jackson spoke "Cub, you remembered the lessons" Greyback replied

"I do, and I understand you snuck into my life regularly after I was taken back to the Dursleys, I thank you"

"it was and remains my duty to maintain your safety child, as with all Cubs, especially with my only Cub for 20 years"

"an honour I keep I see, thankyou for coming, for helping, helping my Cub" Jackson spoke

"I would always have come, arrested or no, helping a Cub of my Cub, a child, saving someone from a similar situation to your own, nothing would have made me deny it, I have a competent Beta to Run the Pack, by all respect he is as looked upon as I am, nothing would jeopardise our Pack"

"our Pack father? but I have not lived there, met no one, never been apart of it"

"and yet it as yours as it is mine, is does not matter your location, you remain a member, all others know you by name if nothing else, they know the place you hold child, and you've met some members, secretive they may be, you know Finley and Porter Jones do you not? they are the sons of fairly high up members of the pack, to be turned at 14"

"this summer, in 3 days, I'll need to get them a present, and I do, they're practically brothers"

"see child, you know them, and yes you should, Tom will remain outside for my protection, if agreeable?" Jackson looked to the man and smiled

"oh protecting a room with me in it, how the mighty fall" he snorted at the dark look Riddle possessed "I'll make this up to you Tom, if I recall New Year is your birthday, I'll get you something nice, maybe buy Wool's Orphanages building so you can destroy it, that'd be fun, fireworks for new year" Jackson smirked at the delight that took over Toms features for a moment before he turned and left, Fenrir sat beside Jackson silently observing, the healer left after setting the spells to heal Jackson when Madam Bones turned to Tonks "now for the explanation of what happened earlier, and your place in it Officer Tonks" she began, the turned to Jackson "you can start Mr. Peverell, in any detail you can, what happened?" and so Jackson did.

Over the next few hours until he could physically move with no pain or discomfort he spoke, of the timeless void he'd awoken in, of the questions, of the people involved, off the level of involvement Dumbledore or someone similar most have had, a detailed list of spells given by colour, feel, effect despite most being non verbal, of physical injury and of the Black Robed healer, he spoke of everything he could, he concluded with the list of Laws, Ministry guidelines and Auror protocols the group had violated, this floored Madam Bones "my Vaults had my fathers old handbooks for Auror training and Ministry employment, and Percy Weasley let me have his to compare them, so I had the International Relations guides too, interesting reads, took my mind of things when I needed it, but if you want a true opinion on Tonks, get Moody here when she explains, the best there is still hasn't been beaten" Jackson hummed, Amelia nodded

"it would likely be better, and it'd give another experienced voice to the case, I'll summon him" she uttered.

Soon the familiar clunk was heard outside the room and Alastor Moody entered the room "I don't take to bein' summoned Bones, you know that as much as the rest of them" the man grunted

"Given Tonks here is about 20 minutes from being fired I wanted your input" Bones bit

"you what?" Moody uttered "Explain. Tonks. Now" he growled, Jackson smiled at the grizzled man in respect as Tonks began her explanation "Kingsley, he just told me we had a special assignment that required a covert presence and that I'd be guarding him whenever he came here, that's all I did, I didn't have any hints it was Jackson, or what was happening to him, if it's for the Ministry or the Order I have no idea, whatever it's for I don't know, all I know is I was tasked with standing guard at the door, that's it" the woman stated, Jackson sensed the spike in her emotions
