The Lost Cub

I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR REVEIWS AND ALL THE SUGGESTINS AS TO WHAT TO NAME THE WOLF CUB. I DECIDED TO GO WITH DELINKA’S SUGGESTION OF YAMI, WHICH IS SAID TO MEAN SHADOW IN JAPANESE.

Things went back to normal after the birthday party and Elena eventually came up with a name for the cub. Her father was actually the one who suggested she name it Yami and she did like the name. Ginny had become almost a permanent fixture in their household as she was constantly there spending time with Elena. The two had quickly become better friends than Ron and Hermione had ever been with Harry.

Draco was something that puzzled her though. He had continued to write her and had told her that he knew who she was before and that he didn’t mind. She seriously wondered if the boy was mental. Had she been in his place she would have had a problem finding out that her girlfriend/boyfriend/person she was interested inhad at one time been the same gender as her. She was even more surprised when she would get butterflies in her stomach whenever she would get a letter from him. She was beginning to like him.

She was startled out of her musings when Ginny’s head appeared in the fire. “Mum wanted to know if you wanted to come here for a while. It is probably boring there with just the teachers for company.”

“Yeah that would be great. Let me find one of my parents and make sure it is ok, then I will floo on over.” She said smiling at her friend.

“Great.” Ginny said with a smile. She couldn’t wait for Elena to get back.

Elena jumped up and took off for her fathers office as it was the closest. She could hear Yami following her and turned to pick him up as he was having trouble keeping up with his small legs. Coming to her destinations she softly knocked on the door. “You may enter Elena.”

She opened the door and walked in. “How did you know it was me?” she asked the man.

“Magic.” Was the reply she got and she rolled her eyes when the man smirked at her.

“Can I go to the burrow? Ginny already asked her mum and she said it was ok.” She really hoped her father said yes as she was bored here.

“Do you have your homework done?” He asked.

She smiled and nodded, “Not that it matters as there are still three weeks left of summer, but yes I do.”

He thought about it a little longer, but finally gave into her.

Elena had flooed straight from her father’s office into the kitchen of the burrow surprised when she managed to stay standing. She looked and saw Mrs. Weasley in the corner doing dishes and looked up when she heard someone coming down the stairs.

Thinking it was Ginny she was just about to say hi when Percy came into view. Instantly Yami began to growl and Percy just looked at her and walked right on by.

“Mum I am going in to the Ministry for a while.” Percy had been promoted up to being Fudge’s personal assistant and was always talking about how important he was to the wizarding world now.

Molly turned and smiled at her son, “Alright Percy dear.” She then saw Elena, “Ginny is in her room if you want to head on up there.”

“Thanks Mrs. Weasley.” She said as she took off up the stairs. She made it to Ginny’s room and knocked on the door.

“Come in.” She heard come from inside and smiled at her friend.

“So how are things going here?” She asked as she set Yami down on the bed.

Ginny instantly began petting the cub and smiled at her friend. “Great, Bill is still here, but he keeps disappearing somewhere, he is now working at Gringotts in Diagon Alley. Ron has a crush on someone, but won’t say whom. Percy is walking around as though he is the most important person in the family. Fred and George or Forge and Gred are constantly pulling pranks, though they won’t prank me and I am grateful for that. Their main targets are Percy and Ron.”

Elena laughed when she heard her friend talk about her family. Just then she looked out the window and saw Bill leave from the side of the house. “Hey, where is Bill going?” She asked her friend.

“I don’t know. Lets follow and see what we can find out. Who knows maybe we can get some information to use against him.” Ginny said with a mischievous glint in her eye.

“Come on, let’s go.” Elena said as she grabbed her friend by the hand.

With that the two girls ran from the house with the wolf cub following at their heels.

Draco was bored. He and Blaise were sitting in his room trying to come up with something to do. They had both gotten letters today from Ginny and Elena and wanted to go and see them, but didn’t know where they were. Usually the two girls were at Hogwarts, but when Draco had tried to floo call his godfather’s rooms no one answered.

Then he was hit with a brilliant idea. “Why don’t I just call his office.” Blaise looked at him as if he had grown an extra head so he elaborated. “I can call Sev’s office and see if he is there. Maybe then he can tell us if the girls are at Hogwarts or not.”

Blaise quickly agreed to the idea and Draco called his godfather. He was not expecting to see his godfather pinning Remus to the wall snogging the life out of him. “Guess I called at a bad time.” He said getting their attention.

The two quickly turned to the fireplace and Remus blushed at being caught.

“What can we do for you Draco?” Severus asked his godson, frustrated that the boy had interrupted him.

“I was just wondering if Elena was at Hogwarts.” He said and watched as Remus was about to answer.

“No.” Severus said before his husband could answer. He knew there was something he forgot to tell the werewolf.

“What do you mean no?” Remus asked glaring at his husband.

“She went to the Burrow to spend some time with Ginny. It isn’t like there is much for her to do here.” Severus said trying to placate the angry werewolf.

Remus’s glare softened, but he still said “Next time tell me when she leaves.” He still had to fight the urge to go off and bring his cub back home where he knew she would be safe.

“Thanks Sev.” Draco said slightly disappointed that the two would not be able to see the girls that day.

“Draco, why don’t you just floo call Molly at the Burrow? I don’t think she would mind you and Blaise going over there and keeping the girls company.” Remus said, if he knew Molly she would love having the extra mouths to force food down.

“Are you sure she wouldn’t mind?” Draco asked, he wanted to go spend time with the girls, but didn’t think Mrs. Weasley would let them enter the house. He was still a Malfoy.

“I am sure Molly wouldn’t mind” Severus said, “but Draco, keep your hands off my daughter.” He said as a warning to the boy.

Draco promised to be good and pulled his head from the fire. He then turned to Blaise and asked, “Now how do we invite ourselves over without inviting ourselves over?”

Molly Weasley was surprised when she heard the fire spring to life and looked to see who was there. She was surprised to see the boy who had been writing to Ginny, Blaise she thought his name was.

“Hello Mrs. Weasley, I was wondering if Ginny was home.” The boy thought he was fooling her, but she had seen this many times with her boys so decided to play along.

“I’m sorry her and Elena just went outside, but you and Mr. Malfoy can come over if you like.” She knew that was what the boys really wanted anyway. She hadn’t raised six boys and not pick up on the tricks they would pull to get the parents of the girls they liked to invite them over. Plus she liked Blaise, sure the boy was a Slytherin, but she had found some of his letters while ‘cleaning’ Ginny’s room. They boy had been nothing but sweet and proper to her daughter.

“Thank you, but we wouldn’t want to impose.” Blaise said.

“It’s no imposition.” She said smiling, this boy really knew what he was doing.

“Then I believe we shall. Thank you.” Blaise said as he pulled back from the fire. A couple of minutes later the two teen boys were standing in the kitchen of the burrow with the matriarch of the Weasley family.

“If you boys will excuse me I must get back to my work. I believe the girls headed off in the direction of the woods.” She knew what the girls were up to and hoped they would be able to figure out where her oldest was sneaking off to.

88888888888888888888

Blaise and Draco had instantly set off for the woods and were glad they didn’t have to go far as they found the girls hiding behind two trees watching something that was going on in the clearing. They snuck quietly up behind the two girls and quickly covered their mouths so they wouldn’t scream. Draco then leant in close to Elena’s ear and whispered, “Calm down. I didn’t want you to scream and get caught spying on Ginny’s brother.”

He felt her stop struggling and move so she would be able to see who had her. He felt her relax when she realized she wasn’t in any danger. “Promise not to scream if I let go of you now?” He asked while smirking at her, smiling when she nodded her head.

He wasn’t expecting her to hit him. Granted it was only on the arm and not very hard, but still. “You git, you almost scared me half to death.” She whispered glaring at him.

“Sorry, but I didn’t want you to scream and give yourself and Ginny away.” He told her in hushed tones. “Hey isn’t that your godfather?” He asked when he saw another person come into the clearing.

Elena looked up when he said that and sure enough there was Sirius walking over to Bill. She looked at Ginny and saw that she and Blaise were just as stunned as she and Draco. That is until Bill grabbed the back of Sirius’s head and pulled him down into a kiss.

“What is it with adult and me happening to catch them kissing?” Draco asked while looking at Blaise and Ginny who were too stunned to move. He then looked at Elena and saw she was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. “I happened to floo call your father when he was having a little catch up time with your dad.”

“Sorry I asked.” Elena said while making a face. “Come on we better get these two out of here before those two catch us spying.” She said as she grabbed a stunned Ginny by the hand and pulled her away.

888888888888888888888888

“Well that was disturbing.” Ginny said when she had found the ability to talk again. Seeing that she had offended her friend she corrected herself, “not Bill kissing your godfather, but my older brother kissing anyone.” She had never thought she would see Bill being so aggressive.

“At least it was only kissing.” Blaise said as he looked at the rest of them.

“I wonder what my father would do to get this information.” Elena said causing the others to laugh.

“Your father? What about my mother? She knows he is sneaking off to meet someone and has been trying to figure out who since the day after your party.” Ginny said when they had all controlled their laughing. Needless to say the laughing wasn’t controlled for long.

“I wonder what those two would do to keep this information quiet.” Draco said.

Just then an owl flew up to them with a special edition of the Daily Prophet. They were all shocked when they saw the headline.

BOY-WHO-LIVED KILLED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT By: Mark Thomas

We have heard today that the boy who lived, Mr. Harry Potter was killed with his cousin in an automobile accident. It appears his cousin was driving under the influence of alcohol and lost control of the car. The two had been going around 90 miles-per-hour when they had swerved into on coming traffic hitting a semi-trailer head on. Mr. Potter had died instantly due to injuries he suffered and is going to be buried in a private ceremony Saturday August 9th.

We here at this paper send out condolences out to the friends and family of Mr. Potter and hope he is happy where he is.

88888888888888888888

The three teens had been shocked when they had read that. Draco wrapped an arm around Elena incase she needed to be comforted. It was then he saw her parents and godfather walking up to them.

“Elena?” Remus asked when he saw his daughter. They had just found out a little while ago about Dudley’s accident and figured it was a better way to have Harry killed than suicide. They just weren’t sure how their daughter/goddaughter was dealing with the death of her past self.

Elena looked up when she heard her name called and instantly ran to her dad and threw herself into his arms. She knew they were going to kill off her past self, but wasn’t expecting it to feel like she had lost a friend. Once safe in her dad’s arms she let all the emotions she had kept inside as Harry Potter out and cried in his arms. She cried for all the times he went to bed hungry or feeling unloved, all the times Dudley would hit him or make fun of him at school for not having parents, she cried for all the loneliness he felt. She cried because he hadn’t been able to.

Remus just held his daughter as she cried. He knew this had been building up and was glad she was finally letting it all out. She cried for almost fifteen minutes straight before she calmed down. “Feel Better?” He asked when she had calmed.

She nodded and wiped her eyes saying a quiet thanks to him for the comfort. “Is that what really happened? To Dudley I mean?” She asked her parents. She may not have liked her cousin, but didn’t want him dead.

“Yeah he went out drinking and decided to take a car for a joyride. We had to modify some of the muggle’s memories, but they all believe he forced Harry into the car when Harry tried to get him to go home. To them Harry was just an innocent victim.” Severus said as he rubbed her back.

The funeral had been sad, but it had also pissed Elena off severely as she watched Ron and Hermione suck up all the attention for having their best friend die. Oh well, they would get theirs at the reading of the will.

When everyone was seated the will was read. It was obvious that Ron and Hermione thought they would be getting something out of Harry’s death, but they were in for a surprise.

Elena had written the will right after ‘Harry’s death’ was published. She had everything planned out and couldn’t wait to see the other’s reactions. There were only a couple of things she wanted to keep and had figured out how to do this.

‘Harry’ left all his money and the Potter estates with the exception of the trust vault to Molly and Arthur Weasley, “For being the closest thing he ever got to having parents.” The two were shocked when they found out just how much they had. There was one stipulation though. Ron and Percy weren’t to have a sickle of if unless it was life or death. Those two had to live as they always had. Molly was glad for this as maybe this would humble the two.

Hermione thought she would be the one to get the trust vault and was shocked when that and Hedwig were left to Ginny. Ginny was also shocked as she had seen how much was left in the vault.

Then came the time to give a way the marauders map and Ron got a smug look on his face. Which was wiped clean when it went to Remus to give to the generation of marauders? AKA Elena, Ginny, Blaise, and Draco as the four had already asked Sirius to teach them to become animagus and were planning pranks for the year with the twins.

Sirius, much to Ron and Hermione’s shock, got the invisibility cloak and Harry’s Firebolt to give to the goddaughter he had spoken about to Harry.

Sirius was also given Harry’s wand and was told to keep it. They had gone and gotten Elena a new one, which was willow with a tail feather from a phoenix she had never met before as its core.

In the end Ron and Hermione got nothing from Harry and wondered what they had done wrong.
