blood bound

chapter 28: Greyback's Move

Their arrival at Voldemort's manor was met with a minor amount of chaos and confusion with the Weasley clan immediately trying to mix with a lingering group of lower level Death Eaters. Less than five minutes had passed before someone tried to curse them and an all out battle ensued. Harry growled in irritation before releasing his magic only to use it to slam everyone flat to the ground except for his mates who were holding shields around the three of them. Everyone watched as the living vampire stalked forward glowering at them.

"If this is what happens when I bring someone home than maybe I shouldn't trust any of you with my children when I finally have them," Harry spat as he glowered at the now cringing group of miscreants. He sent one more scathing glare at the entire room before stalking off in the direction of their rooms, releasing them from his magic.

"Did... did you know he could do that?" Severus asked clearing his throat in a combination of nervousness and uncomfortable arousal.

"No, I didn't," Voldemort growled lustfully before practically dragging Severus behind him as they followed Harry out of the entry hall.

Everyone watched them leave before Charlie finally snorted as the Weasley men broke down in laughter. The laughter eventually died down but had successfully broken the tension between both groups and Harry's stalking off in a snit showing to one and all that the Weasleys were not to be harmed.

"So which one of you picked up his wand?" Arthur asked looking at his boys, having seen Harry drop it during the intense duel at Grimmauld place but not having been able to find it afterwards.

"I have it," Ron admitted. "I wasn't going to leave it behind but I think he might need a new one with how he's changed and all.

"Just make sure to return it to him," Arthur said sternly, earning an emphatic nod of agreement from his son.

"Do you think Aunt Muriel will try to kill us when she finds out she's got to keep Ginny for a while longer?" Charlie asked out of the blue. "I mean Ginny was practically devastated when Mum and Dad adopted Harry."

"She was obsessed with marrying the Boy-Who-Lived. I don't think she ever really saw Harry," Bill agreed with a frown, sitting up properly on the floor.

"Which is why Muriel is watching her at the moment," Arthur said sadly. "I had a talk with your aunt and she agrees that Ginny needs time away, time to realize that she will never be Lady Potter. If she stays obsessed with Harry we'll have to find some way to pay for a mind healer. He has his mate now and seems to be happy."

"We'll see about that," Greyback muttered quietly before leaving his hiding place in the nearby shadows to see about seducing a little green-eyed vampire.

The feral werewolf stalked through the manor halls reviewing what he had learned about his delicious looking prey. It was clear to the were that Lucius had failed with his gamble though knowing how slippery the man could be he had also survived the gamble with only a minor punishment, if he hadn't been killed outright. Fenrir knew that if he was going to have a chance to play with Remus he would first have to obtain the blood sucker that the soft spoken man probably even now still called his cub. Of course the man would have to be punished for running away for so long and being forced to watch as Greyback enjoyed himself with the succulent little vampire would be a good start.

Greyback ignored the sight of Narcissa Malfoy and Molly Weasley finalizing the wedding with a number of lesser female Death Eaters as he wandered, mentally mapping the Manor for when he made off with Harry. When he next saw Harry a few days later he thanked the Morrigan that the little devil was alone reading in one of the sitting rooms and apparently still wandless. The vampire sensed something was wrong but didn't move fast enough to keep Greyback from snatching him up and stifling his cries of shock with a hand over his mouth.
