Fallen From Grace

Okay, so they didn’t go and do their essays; they’d already finished them. Right now, they were in the Slytherin common room talking about Christmas plans. Though Christmas was a few months away, they wanted to go ahead a figure out what they were going to do.

“So… want to come to my house for Christmas? I’m sure dad would love to meet his son,” Ali said cheerfully.

Harry blushed. Sure, he would love to meet his dad but… he was the dark lord for goodness sake! What if he didn’t want him and killed him the moment he saw him. He was snapped out of his thoughts by Ali putting her hand on his shoulder.

“He’ll love you. C’mon. The Potters probably won’t care and if they do… well who cares?” Ali insisted.

“Fine,” Harry said after a moment.

“Yay!” Ali squealed and hugged her brother tightly. Very tightly.

“C-can’t b-b-breathe!” Harry gasped.

Ali immediately let go. “Oops,” Ali said, giggling.

Harry rolled his eyes. Despite what she acted like in front of everybody else, she really was just a kid. Just an eleven year old kid who just so happened to have the Dark Lord as a dad and who happened to be the twin sister of the boy-who-lived. Thinking about it, it was very ironic.

Just then Blaise walked into the common room and sat down next to his girlfriend. He glared at Harry.

“What did I do?” Harry asked, frowning.

“Nothing,” Blaise grumbled and turned away.

Ali shrugged. Harry didn’t think much of it and shrugged it off.


It was nearly Christmas and Ali was practically jumping up and down in excitement. They would be leaving tomorrow to head to Slytherin Manor. Little did they know there would be an unexpected change in plans…

They were at breakfast in the Great Hall. They were laughing and joking while Blaise glared at Harry just as he had for the last few months. Loads of owls flew in; mail time! A light brown barn owl landed in front of Ali. Odd, she wasn’t expecting any mail.

She opened it and read it silently with Harry reading over her shoulder.

Dear Ali,
I know you were planning to go home for Christmas but we’re coming to get you. I’ll let you visit your dad but I want to spend the days up until Christmas with you here. I know this wasn’t the Christmas you envisioned but you are to stay with your pack. Meet us in the Forbidden Forest.

Fenrir Greyback

“Crap. Maybe I can ask if you can come. I’m sure they won’t mind if you’re with me,” Ali said. “So, you wanna spend Christmas with me and Alpha Greyback’s pack? Don’t worry, no full moon during Christmas break.”

“I guess…” Harry trailed off.

“Okay. I’ll write back later. For now, we have classes,” Ali said and gathered up her books before leaving for Charms.

A few days later Ali got the respond to the letter she sent. After reading it she showed Harry, who was still wary of staying with werewolves.

Dear Ali,
I guess you could bring the kid along. Shouldn’t hurt. You might want to explain a few things to him first though.

Fenrir

“I’m so excited! Aren’t you?” Ali asked, hopping up and down.

“Explain what?” Harry asked, eyeing his twin warily; the girl was mischievous.

“The rules of a pack,” Ali said, sitting down in her favorite chair in the common room.

Harry waited politely for a moment, expecting Ali to continue. She didn’t. She just sat there staring back and smiling. Finally, Harry got impatient.

“And what are the rules of the pack?” Harry asked impatiently.

“You don’t eat until the Alpha, Fenrir Greyback, says you can. We usually eat raw meat except for those who prefer it cooked. You’ll have yours cooked of course. We’ll be sleeping with the other pups. I have to sleep with the other pups until I reach maturity, which for a werewolf is fifteen. And a warning; never get Greyback angry. As an alpha werewolf, he can change into a wolf at will but has to change like everybody else during the full moon. He could change you into a werewolf if he wanted to,” Ali explained. “Other then that it’s just like a family.”

“Seems simple enough,” Harry shrugged.

Ali nodded.


The next day it was time to leave for Christmas break. The two had just finished packing when that letter came. And now it was time for lunch so, well, they went to lunch. But then a rather large snake appeared.

“Zar! Where have you been lately? I haven’t seen you in a week, you bad, bad snake!” Ali scolded.

“I’m sssorry Ali, but I wasss visssiting a friend of mine. Of courssse, I came back to ssspend Chrissstmasss with you,” the snake replied.

Ali shrugged. “Good enough for me.”

Harry smiled at his sister. “C’mon, we need to get to lunch before Alex and Blaise think we’re up to something.”

Ali smirked. “And we’re not?”

“C’mon, let’s go,” Harry laughed.


After saying goodbye to their friends, the twins snuck off to the Forbidden Forest. Of course, they didn’t realize they were being watched by another pair of twins from a window… But what they don’t know won’t hurt them, right?

Anyway, they reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest without being seen (or so they thought) and were waiting patiently within the confines of said forest. Harry sat on his trunk while Ali started climbing a tree. Looking over the grounds after getting high up in the tree, Ali could see something move from one of the third story windows. Strange.

“Get your arse down here before I make you get down! We don’t have all day you know,” called a gruff voice Ali knew so well.

Going down as fast as she could, Ali jumped when she was about ten feet off the ground and landed in her Alpha’s arms.

“Hi Alpha Greyback!” Ali said cheerily, smiling.

But he wasn’t paying attention to her. No, he was to busy concentrating on that wonderful smell that seemed to be coming off his pack mate’s friend. It smelled like rain and something earthy. And it smelled so good.

Putting Ali down, he went over to Harry and started to sniff him, making Harry very nervous. That wonderful scent was coming off the boy, though the scent was now tainted by the smell of fear.

Fenrir’s eyes widened. This boy was his mate! But damn; the boy was so young! He wouldn’t be able to mate with him until he was fifteen. He sighed.

“Alpha Greyback, what’s wrong?” Ali asked. “Why are you sniffing Harry like that?”

“Everything’s fine. It’s nothing, really. Let’s go,” Fenrir said as he grabbed both of their trunks and dragged them behind them.

Ali and Harry looked at each other in confusion. Something told them this would be a very… odd Christmas.

They shrugged it off and followed Fenrir to where the pack was staying that Christmas. Yeah, this would be one very odd Christmas indeed. But it would be so much fun!

A/N: I know, I know; not very long. I don’t think I wrote this one out to well but I’m trying to get through a bad case of writer’s block. Hopefully the next chapter won’t be so terrible. But on the bright side, there’s the Fenrir part you’ve all been asking for! I was going to wait until second or third year but ya’ll are so impatient so I went ahead and put him in. Like it, love it, hate it? Plz review!
