"Rhea," his mother addressed her, "this is Severus Snape, he is a friend of ours."

She politely looked up from her toys and smiled, though it seemed a bit off to him. Over the last few days, he'd become quite acclimated with her facial expressions, tics, and nuances. "Hello, Mr. Severus."

"See, isn't she darling?" Narcissa crooned. "While I'm saddened by her loss I'm happy that her mother seemed to instill manners in her."

The dark haired man snapped his head up at her words. "Her...mother?"

"Yes. Eileen Dubois. It was dreadful really," She began reciting the cover story she had come up with. "To be taken by a fever. So young and so much life ahead of her. It was truly tragic. I'm just grateful her living relative knew to contact Draco after her passing. Who knows what would have happened to the poor girl. The Dubois, while still a pureblood line, have nearly died out, you know."

He didn't look like he believed her but replied slowly, "Then she is certainly lucky to have been reunited with her father."

"As you can see, it has changed the family dynamic somewhat," Lucius said with a roll of his eyes.

Instead of replying he turned his attention to Draco. "Draco, I'd like a word if you have a moment?"

The look on his godfather's face confirmed that his earlier fears just might be true. He followed him down the hall and into the library where he promptly leveled Draco with perhaps the sternest look he could muster.

Bones clicking and fur receding, Harry stood to his full height, careful not to seem hostile as he entered Alpha Abner’s territory.

He’d sensed a scout a few miles back so it didn’t surprise him when half the pack surrounded him the moment his bare feet passed the invisible line. A few bolder ones, already shifted into wolves, growled lowly in their chests but most knew that despite him being outnumbered, it was unwise to provoke an Alpha.

A dark-haired man pushed through the small circle and cocked his head to the side. “Auror Potter?”

Harry recognized the pack’s second in command and nodded to him. “Brice.”

“We weren’t expecting you.”

“I know, and I apologize, but it’s urgent.”

The two of them assessed each other for a moment before Brice motioned for someone to head back the way they came. They returned a couple of awkward minutes later, a shirt and shorts in hand.

“Thank you,” Harry said, accepting the clothes and slipping them on while the wolf spoke with Brice.

“Alpha will be here momentarily.” he told him.  

Harry nodded and waited, ignoring the fidgeting pack around him.

He heard the Alpha before he saw him, swaggering his way through the trees. Wesley certainly gave Malfoy a run for his money when it came to cocky and dramatic entrances.

“Ah, Auror Potter, “Abner spoke in a light tone as he came to a stop in front of him, “Or are you actually going by Alpha Potter now?“

Harry rolled his eyes. “Why would I start going by that?”

A dark smile spread across his face. “That’s normally what one does when one starts their own pack.”

A growl rumbled deep in Draco’s throat at the gesture and where the fuck had that come from? Wesley eyed him curiously before letting go of Hermione’s hand. “I apologize Ms.Granger, it seems I’ve crossed a line.”

“What do you mea-”  she started to ask before her words cut off abruptly.

“Draco. It’s time to stop lying!” Narcissa suddenly snapped, ripping the paper out of his hands. “Those rumors, they were true, weren’t they? That child is yours. I kno-” Her voice cut off, muted by a silent spell.

She stared at her son, her blue eyes ablaze with confusion. His own silver orbs were glaring at her, his jaw clenched. “I’d keep that to yourself if I were you.” He said his tone threatening. “You never know who could be listening.”
