I hadn't seen Bella in months, and I wasn't too worried because I could feel her through our bond, but I missed her. Just being able to touch her even though it wasn't her in the flesh made me happier however, she had been facing a lot more dementors than usual and couldn't escape them. It was hard but I focused on training and researching, learning about Mythics to help keep myself distracted. Lucian was proud of my progress. Lucian and I had to go to the Centaurs to sort out their treaties and they didn't believe me, so I had to transform as they didn't trust any witch or wizard. Even though they knew Lucian, they could feel that something big was going to happen this year and they were scared. So, I did.
Flashback
I followed, without struggle, Lucian deeper into the enchanted forest. No one was on the grounds as the school was closed. I smelt them before I heard them. I could hear their hooves hitting the ground fast and soon enough they slowed and emerged from the trees. They were majestic and I knew if I was like my old self, I would be terrified. "What brings you to the forest old friend?" Lucian grinned and replied. "The new Alpha has returned. She is even more powerful than Troy was." It was then they noticed me. "We must see proof Lucian." Lucian looked shocked at that request and said. "Ugh, you know me. I never lie." His voice had become firm, though the centaur still refused and said. "I know my old friend, but the forest speaks. Something dark is coming." I let out a sigh and took off my clothes, not bothered by my nakedness and transformed. It was effortless, quick and no longer hurt. I heard them gasp. Where my human body used to be now stood a nearly 7ft black furred werewolf. I shook out my fur and stood tall, alert. I had no idea what to do but followed my instincts which told me to release my magic and roar. And I did. The forest seemed to tremble. My roar echoed around the forest and then silence. They unfroze from their shock and bowed. I could see the proudness in Lucians eyes and grinned wolfishly to him and he returned the grin with his own. I transformed back and we discussed the treaties and made sure there was no problems.
Flashback end
Dumbledore has set up, in secret, a society made up of the order of Phoenix at 12 Grimmauld Place based in muggle London. To enter, you have to use the Fidelius charm, which split the seemingly normal muggle building in half as 12 Grimmauld place appeared. The place, even though it had been in the Blacks family for generations, it was under Sirius Black ownership. The house elf was named Kreacher and he was old. And enslaved! I had talked to Bella about the enslavement of elves. She had remained thoughtful and answered "You know I never thought of it like that before. But you know muddy, they like working. They love having something to do." Since then I have calmed down slightly as I know that they love working and pleasing their masters with work. Dumbledore has brought about the Order of Phoenix again; new and old members which consisted of Sirius Black, Alister Moody, Nymphadora Tonks, Molly Weasley and Remus Lupin. Lupin tensed when I walked in and stared at me and I nodded in greeting and in confirmation. The amount sadness in his made me roll my eyes. I was thankful because of it wasn't for him, I would be blindly following Dumbledore and would never have met Bella. Well I would have, but I would have been too blinded to see the real her. That though saddened me, so I quickly pushed it out of my mind since it didn't matter. I could tell that Lupin wasn't a hundred percent in this cause against Tom. Interesting. After the useless meeting was over, about rescuing Harry from the Dursley's, Remus pulled me aside into a storage room. Thankfully it was big enough that we weren't nose to nose. I had a feeling that he wanted to speak to me and had already silenced the room.
I gestured for him to talk. He spoke. "I am so sorry Hermione. What have I done? I am a monster! I have past the gene onto another!" I rolled my eyes and said. "For starters, you are not a monster. Secondly, do I look upset Lupin? No? That because I am thankful. Because of you, I know the truth." He looked confused and he said, "The truth?" I rolled my eyes. I knew I could trust him as I felt an almost pack bond with him. He was the one to turn me after all so I know I could repay him in a 'thank you.' I let my facade drop and the air of Alpha authority surrounded me. His eyes widened and his head tilted in submission. He seemed to almost bow, his neck straining, in submission, so I released the pressure. "Alpha. Merlin." I grinned and then said. "Can I trust you Remus?" He nodded quickly. I almost laughed at his gleeful face. "I want to show you everything. I will protect your mind, but you should automatically be protected since you're in my pack now." He eyes seem to tear up a little, but I just rolled my eyes and thrusted the memories into his mind. I won't take weaklings in my pack. I knew I could also trust Tonks as she had been part of the protectors since she was a Metamorphmagus. She can change her appearance at will. She was a funny person and teased me endlessly about Bella. Though we spoke in code when around others and called her 'Beck.' I never done so many death glares in one day. She found it hilarious with Dumbledore near. He gave us confused looks but was never suspicious. I was surprised that I was even told about this place to be honest.
I was currently in my room. It was in the basement and I was conveniently kept separate from the others, not that Fred or George cared as they were currently sat on my bed with me. Neither did Tonks but I knew she was off flirting with poor Lupin. We were discussing the plan, not only in general but the plan for the rest of the Weasley's excluding Bill. The twins no longer considered themselves as part of the Weasley's, and I did let the boys know that I had felt off this year and it's not being unable to see or talk to my mate while we were here. I had been here for about five months and I was going crazy. Soon we will be returning to Hogwarts. I was dreading it as I had a feeling it would be the worst year yet. And I was right.
