Harry and the rest of his group were among the last clans to arrive at the meeting point.
In the center, Greyback was waiting for them, looking at everyone as if he were already the absolute leader.
A werewolf in his 50s approached the center. He stared at the insane werewolf.
With a growl, Greyback left with his men.
The veteran werewolf looked around.
" I never thought I'd see in my life what I see before me!" he began." The first meeting of the longest moon in almost two centuries! My name is Agnus O'Brian! And I am the leader of the Emerald Moon clan!" a couple of clans gave a slight bow of their heads out of respect." On top of that, I am the oldest alpha of all the clans!" he looked at everyone." So, as tradition dictates, I will be the "oldest canis" of this meeting!" he looked at everyone." Is anyone against it?!" In Greyback's group, there were growls but no one said anything. Greyback smiled in front of them satisfied." Then, I think I should explain the meaning of this meeting to those younger ones who have not even heard of it!"
The veteran werewolf spent more than an hour explaining what they were trying to recover with this meeting, its importance, and the rules that governed the entire event.
After explaining the rules, he gave some examples of what they could do before the arrival of the full moon and how, after it, each person would return to their place of origin.
Many were reassured that they would be protected while this meeting was taking place. More than one gave a slightly serious look to Greyback's group, known for breaking the rules, knowing that they might try to break them if it brought them any benefit.
As the veteran Irish werewolf explained some of the functions for which they met, Hermione learned the real reason why Voldemort's dog had prepared everything and demanded their presence.
" I know why he was so insistent on us being here." She said quietly to her partner. Harry looked at her." I'm sure Greyback will challenge you for the leadership of our clan."
" It won't help him..."
" In front of all the clans you can't refuse." she cut him off." You've already heard what he said." she said pointing to the Irish wizard in the center." If you refuse the challenge they can force us to separate and they will kill you." the green-eyed man let out a sigh.
" It is very appropriate that he specifically explain that rule, " he replied.
" Surely you know that Greyback will try to challenge someone? " Hermione added. He had to nod in agreement.
" Now we just have to see how long it will take him to challenge me," he added.
" From the look on his face, I'd say as soon as our distinguished stage manager finishes speaking," Dan Granger added. Everyone could see the hateful look Greyback was giving him.
At that moment the Irish Wizard called everyone's intention.
" It's time for all the clans to introduce themselves!" he said looking at everyone around him." I'll start! As I said, my name is Agnus O'Brian and I'm the alpha of the Emerald Moon clan!" as he said this he pointed to a part where his pack was. In response, they raised a banner in which a full green moon shone over its shadow of a much lighter and more diffuse green.
The next to step forward was Greyback.
" My name is Fenrir Greyback!" he said looking at everyone defiantly." And I am the alpha of the clans, Blood Claw, Blood Moon, and Fangs of Fenrir!" As he said it he pointed to his men who were raising three banners. One with a full moon torn by what would undoubtedly be a claw. Another with a red full moon dripping what represented blood and finally a full moon between what looked like a wolf's jaws with the main fangs biting it. When he finished he looked at Harry with hatred.
From there the rest made their presentation. It seemed that the Irish clans would be the last.
" I am Charles Dumbar!" said a tall man with dark hair." I am the alpha of the Blue Moon clan!" As he said this he pointed to his group who raised a banner. A blue moon with a bright border over its white shadow was its symbol.
" I am Mike Macnamara!" a red-haired man spoke up." Alpha of the Storm Moon clan!" behind him his banner rose with a full moon among the clouds.
" Edmund O'Toules!" said a dark-haired baron with a serious face." Alpha of the Lone Wolf Clan!" His men raised their banner on which the head of a howling wolf could be seen within a full moon.
Everyone looked at the small group. Harry sighed and walked forward.
" My name is Harry Potter! " he began. As expected, there were many murmurs when they recognized the name. " And I represent the Orion Cubs! " some laughter could be heard in Greyback's group.
Dan Granger raised the banner depicting the constellations within the moon.
The presentation together with the unusual members of the group called the intention.
It was the turn of the Irish clans.
" Talus Fitspatrich!" said a red-haired male." Alpha of the Lunar Grove clan!" The clan's banner rose showing a full moon between three trees.
" I am Marcus Linch!" said a wizard with brown hair and a scar on his face." I am the leader and Alpha of the Stone Lair clan!" behind him the banner of a full moon over a wolf with cubs inside a cave became visible.
" Peter Noegt!" said a smiling blond-haired baron." I am the alpha of the Glade clan!" he pointed behind him as his banner rose. Everyone saw a full moon over a circle of trees.
[T/N: Ah, I get it. Ireland has that law where land owners are lords or something like that.]
" And I am Eveniser Morrison!" said a gigantic and undoubtedly tremendously strong male." Alpha of the Giant's Moon clan!" his companions raised the banner in which the full moon could be seen over a well-known image of the Giant's Causeway. He looked at everyone." I think I'm the last one!"
" With the presentation, the celebration of the longest moon begins!" added Agnus O'Brian." Starting from…!"
" I have a complaint!" Greyback shouted." Those... puppies have brought their pets!" he finished pointing at the Grims.
" They are our familiars! " Harry replied. " I haven't heard of any prohibitions that say we can't bring them!"
" Well, I think they should leave!" added the crazy werewolf." Who's with me?!" behind him his men shouted their support." You see! The majority has spoken!"
Hermione approached Harry and whispered in his ear.
" In case you didn't understand! Only alphas can vote! " said Harry.
" Well, let's vote! " shouted the werewolf. " I say either you leave or we eat you! " he finished, looking at them with a sadistic smile.
" They're staying! " Harry replied.
Everyone voted, although almost everyone abstained, claiming that they did not care.
In the end, only Greyback voted against them. Harry and the Isle of Man clan voted in favor.
" We won! " said Harry.
" Learn to count, pup! " said Greyback. " I win three to two!
" Three?!" said the green-eyed man, surprised." Only you have voted for them to leave!"
" But I vote for my three clans!"
" It was said that only the alphas vote!" the dark-haired man replied amused." Not the clans! So since there is only one alpha in your clans, it only counts as one vote!" he smiled." Our familiars stay!"
Greyback realized that he had been tricked. He had not thought that he was the one who had limited the power of his group by uniting it.
" The alpha of the pups is right!" Agnus O'brian finished, happy to silence the monster." His familiars stay!"
" Then! I want to challenge...!" he began pointing at Harry.
" Yeah, okay! " the green-eyed man mockingly silenced him. " But we'll leave it for tomorrow! Let's let everyone enjoy a quiet day! " he finished, looking at the rest.
" Sounds good to me! " Greyback replied. " Tomorrow at noon we will have an alpha battle for the right to lead both clans!"
" Very well! " Harry replied. When Greyback turned around satisfied, he could hear the boy's last comment. " At least we'll let the old dog of Voldemort rest for a night."
Even though he said it in a low voice, the werewolf's developed hearing allowed almost everyone to hear him. Many smiled at the young werewolf's insult. Others were frightened to learn that Greyback served the dark hand.
But the one who took it the worst was Greyback himself. He had to hold back from jumping on the boy, not being prepared for the fight at that moment. And that did not go unnoticed by some.
After the strange introduction, the different clans began to mingle, except for the three Greyback clans who stayed together and the rest avoided each other.
They quickly began browsing through the improvised stalls. There were plenty of interesting objects.
The alphas of the five Irish clans had gathered after watching the confrontation between the feared British werewolf and the young, barely converted pup.
Whether he liked it or not, Harry had managed to gather the interest of many people.
Although everyone assumed that the young man would lose to the experienced and cruel Greyback.
The young lupinids tried to relate to the rest of the clans.
A couple of members of other clans even tried to convince them to join them and thus avoid the fate they would have by losing and being part of Greyback's packs.
Everyone was surprised at how confident they were that their alpha would defeat the crazy werewolf.
{SCENE BREAK}
Except for the rough start, the rest went well. The stalls did well. Even the pups took advantage of the opportunity to sell some Grim fur at a low cost to the other clans, except the three from Greyback, who could benefit from it if they later sold it at its real price.
It was the small contribution they would make to help others.
Hermione and her mother had done some activities for the younger ones.
Others spent a few hours teaching spells and potions to those who asked. This, in itself, was far more than some could achieve in the wizarding world.
Dan spent a good while sharing drinks with other werewolves and talking about his experiences in the non-magical world.
Ironically, he discovered that he had a common acquaintance with an Irish werewolf. His brother had served in the same regiment in the army as him. Before the day was over, more than one clan had received some kind of help from Orion's pups. Either in the form of knowledge or possible employment opportunities in the non-magical world.
That night, most of the clans mourned the fate of the small, young clan of lycanthropes.
On the contrary, in Greyback's camp, everyone celebrated the certain victory of their leader.
Everyone was certain of victory. Everyone, except Greyback himself.
Inside his tent, he went over the different plans he had prepared. He knew he would have to do something or that damn Potter would defeat him.
He looked at his hands and was surprised to see that they were shaking slightly. It was the first time he had ever been scared.
He could still remember what he felt when the young man had humiliated him in the Forbidden Forest. He was sure that the damn Potter had the wolf completely under his control.
He could boast that he had embraced his instincts more than any other werewolf. But he had no doubt that the pup surpassed him in that aspect.
He could still feel the look the boy gave him when he threw him to the ground. The look was the same one he gave to the most insignificant of his servants. Or worse yet, to one of his victims.
It was the look of a true predator, who knew he had no rival.
He looked at the table where a closed box remained. That was his best plan for the fight.
It would hurt. But if he played his cards right, he would win and no one would be able to blame him.
He would only have one chance and his men could not help him.
Repeating what he did in the Forbidden Forest was doubtful that it would work. It would only get the rest of the clans to finish them off.
Still, it was his last resort. If he lost, he would have to approach Potter and use the special portkey his lord had provided him.
It would be the end of all three of his clans, but his lord's orders came first.
He could always infect more people and create a new clan.
Obviously, this was not known to any of his followers. He had some hope of not having to cover up this final ruse.
Tired of thinking, he lay down on the bed, knowing that he would not be able to sleep.
[T/N: F*CKING coward...I hate these kind of people.]
On the rest of the island, the other clans were not very relaxed either.
It was their first meeting in over two centuries. But being forced to attend didn't give them much confidence. Add to that the fact that Greyback had already challenged the weakest clan at the start. Few doubted that the mad werewolf would use the event as a way to increase his power.
All the alphas in Ireland, and the one from the Isle of Man, had gathered to try to find a solution to a fight in which everyone would lose. They knew it was unlikely that Greyback was only interested in taking control of the Potter boy's pack.
{SCENE BREAK}
The next morning there was a smell of blood coming from the place where the Orion cubs were camping.
Many believed that Greyback had killed the young man before the fight, aided by the rest of his men.
Leaving the younger ones behind, they went to check out what had happened.
Nobody expected what they saw.
Five adult males with their necks torn near the small camp.
Everyone could recognize the bloody claw symbol on their clothes.
When Greyback was informed he was furious. In his mind, he searched for a way to take advantage of the stupidity of his men.
" I want the blood of whoever did this! " he shouted upon arriving.
" What were your men doing here?!" Harry asked.
" That doesn't matter." he replied." What does matter is the fact that someone killed my men under the protection of the meeting!" he added trying to take control of the situation.
" It matters, since they tried to sneak into our camp!" Harry added." And that's why we defended ourselves!" Greyback pointed at the boy.
" It was you! " he shouted. " I want you punished!"
" When the presentation was made yesterday." the green-eyed man began, looking at O'brian." it was explained to us that the security of each camp is exclusive to the clan that set it up!" he scratched his chin." I think that includes defense!" he looked at Greyback." Why else would all the clans have organized guard shifts?!" Greyback smiled.
" So you were in other camps!" He almost shouted." I'm sure that this way you finished off my men and left them here to incriminate my clan!"
" You boast of being the one who has bonded the most with his wolf!" said Harry." Use your nose and you will realize that there is only blood," he looked at the bodies." and what remains of your... men, in the place where they fell! That proves that it was them who came, not the other way around!"
" Last night many people were complaining about having to keep watch! " Hermione added. " We all heard them in the meeting area! That's how we know that each clan stood guard at night! They even recommended us to do so, because of the reputation that you and your men have for attacking in the dark! " as she said this she pointed at Greyback. Others in the crowd nodded knowing it was all true. " We didn't even leave here!"
" Shut up bitch!" Greyback shouted." I'll show you later who's boss!"
" If you come near my partner, I'll rip your heart out of your ass before making you eat it! " Harry said smiling.
Everyone was surprised by the boy's courage. Especially when Greyback took a step back unconsciously.
For the first time, some thought that the boy could beat the crazy werewolf.
The fight no longer seemed so clear.
" The Alpha of the Orion Cubs is right!" Agnus O'Brian sentenced." It is true that the meeting protects everyone! But if you enter the territory of another clan without permission... be prepared for the consequences!" another nodded. But there was someone who did not like the verdict.
" You just want everyone to turn against me before our fight!" said Greyback." But you won't get out of fighting this time!" He hadn't wanted to say that last part.
" I don't care!" the dark-haired man replied, shrugging his shoulders." Before noon, everything will be solved!" he pointed at the corpses." Now you should take what's left of your men and let us all have breakfast!" saying this he turned towards one of the tents in his camp, leaving everyone behind him in surprise.
Greyback's men gathered up the remains of their comrades. From the wounds, it was undoubtedly a hand-to-hand attack. The lack of blood, unrelated to the fallen, only confirmed that they were unable to defend themselves from their attackers. Many looked at Greyback with an internal question. How strong were the cubs?
When the rest of the clans left, they all had a doubt, Would it be possible for the pup to bite as much as he barked?
{SCENE BREAK}
The time had come. In the same place where the assembly had begun the day before, the main part began today.
All the alphas would discuss the situation of their respective clans and any other problems they had. The rest would try to give advice and help if they could. Or they would take note of possible problems or threats, in case they might suffer something similar in the future.
The tension was palpable.
While each clan took the floor, none of them took their eyes off the two main characters in the duel that would take place right after this part of the meeting ended.
They would begin a non-mandatory part that, in a way, no clan liked, the alpha challenges.
What had happened that morning had redoubled everyone's interest in that confrontation.
More so, when Orion's pups had such confidence in their alpha, that a couple even dared to propose bets in favor of Harry Potter.
Several adults had taken them. All members of Greyback's clan.
If Potter won, the youngsters would undoubtedly pocket a very considerable amount.
Finally, the last clan finished speaking.
" Does anyone else have anything to say?!" Agnus O'Brian asked as he looked at all the clans around him." No one?!" Not getting an answer he sighed." Then... I end this part of the meeting! Now...! Is there any clan that wants to challenge someone?!
" You know very well that I do!" Greyback stepped forward." I challenge Harry Potter to an alpha battle!" murmurs were heard.
" Are you sure?!" the boy asked." Remember that, according to the rules, the winner takes it all!" he finished with a calm and almost reluctant tone.
" Yes!" he said in a growl." And it will be a pleasure to subdue your bitch in front of you!" as one all of Orion's cubs took a step back, moving away from their alpha.
" Why did you have to piss him off more? " said a voice among the young lupinids.
No one could think of this as an incredible magical aura made everyone present feel the urge to submit to a superior predator.
" By the mother moon! " said Edmund O'Toules, the alpha of the Isle of Man. " What is that pup?"
" What rules?!" Harry asked.
" No rules! And all for the winner! " Greyback responded, nervous about this display of power. " One minute to prepare!"
" Whenever you want! " Harry replied with a growl.
" O'Brian!" said Greyback." finish this"
" A challenge has been issued and accepted! " the Irish werewolf began. " The rules, Anything goes! The winner takes it all! Does anyone have anything else to say?!
" My clan offers refuge to the Orion Cubs who want it!" said the alpha of the Blue Moon clan, Charles Dumbar.
" I appreciate the offer! " Harry replied. " And if any of mine want to accept, I give them my support! "
" Are you giving up already?!" Greyback said mockingly.
" Wipe your pants, old man! " Harry replied. " I can smell your urine from here! " some smiled at the young pup's audacity. Greyback, on the other hand, turned to go with his men.
" Put them on me! " he almost shouted to his servant.
Those present could see how the hated werewolf approached his men and they covered him while two others placed something on him. When he left the circle of his men many recognized the object.
" Silver claws! " someone almost shouted.
" That's illegal! " another projected. " They are deadly to us!"
Many called for Greyback to be disqualified for using an instrument created to torture and kill werewolves. Some shouted for him to take them away, accusing him of being a coward.
In the end, it was Harry himself who calmed them down.
" We both agreed that there are no rules!" many looked at him in disbelief." He'll need them anyway!" he said jokingly." It's the only way he can have claws after his master cut them off!" it was a full-blown insult." I hope that's the only thing he cut off!" another insult.
" Come on! Come and fight! " Greyback shouted, foaming at the mouth.
" Just a moment." Harry replied." I need to get." One of his companions approached with a leather bag." Ah, here it is!" The boy took out a piece of wood that looked like a seal, with something shiny on the end." Ready!"
" What is that?!" Greyback asked.
" A gift for your master." the green-eyed man replied, while with his free hand, he invited him to attack.
" Begin! " shouted Agnus O'Brian.
" Graaaaa!" With a scream, the crazy werewolf attacked.
Harry simply took a step to the left, avoiding him.
With a strong stomp, Greyback turned and attacked again.
With silver claws out front, he went straight to the boy's chest.
Harry simply crouched down and let the frustrated werewolf tumble over him, trying to catch him with its claws.
" Two! You have one attack left before it's my turn! " the dark-haired man replied smiling.
Without thinking and even more furious, Fenrir Greyback launched himself at the boy.
It seemed that this time he would be able to hit him, but once again the boy avoided him, moving towards the werewolf at the last moment. Harry remained in the arms of the mad werewolf.
" What...?"
Fenrir pulled his claws towards him to try to hurt him.
The green-eyed man made a powerful leap and landed on Greyback's back.
The werewolf couldn't stop the claws fast enough and managed to injure himself.
" AHHH!" smoke could be seen coming out of the slight wounds.
" My turn! " Upon hearing this, Greyback turned around, leaving himself at the mercy of the green-eyed boy. The boy hit him on the forehead with the wooden stamp.
" Gaahhhhhh!" Greyback felt the blow and then the familiar sensation of the silver burn.
" Since your master likes my scar so much! " said the young man, lifting the seal so that he could see it " I thought that giving you one just like it would please him!"
When Greyback lowered his hand, everyone could see a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead similar to the one Harry Potter had.
" You've marked me!" Greyback shouted." I'll kill you!" With madness in his eyes, the werewolf lunged at the boy.
Before he could reach him, the green-eyed boy crouched down and, taking a step, placed himself under the furious and crazy werewolf. He raised his fist and struck him with the seal on the chin, undoubtedly leaving another mark, throwing him backwards.
" Of course if you want more...!" Harry smiled." Who am I to deny you?! But be careful! When they see you, they might call you the little dog who lived!"
The pain brought Greyback to his senses. It didn't take a genius to see what kind of game the boy was playing with him. If he didn't do something, he would end up losing.
He called upon his inner wolf. His eyes took on the typical yellow color of the transformation. Being just a few hours away from the full moon, it was much easier for him.
Fangs protruded from his mouth and his claws tore through his gloves, leaving silver nails embedded in his own claws. He felt the pain of contact with the silver. But it was a small price to pay to get rid of the pesky pup.
He leapt with three times his previous speed and managed to graze the pup with one of his claws before he completely avoided him.
For a second he smiled with satisfaction. Until he realized that something was not as it should be.
{SCENE BREAK}
The rest watched in disbelief as Harry Potter completely dominated and humiliated the man they all considered the most dangerous werewolf known. It seemed that someone would finally stop his madness.
At that moment Greyback began the partial transformation that made him so feared.
With a leap, everyone saw how Greyback managed to surprise the young man and cut his forearm with his silver claws.
But after the initial fear, knowing the pain the young man could feel, everyone noticed something strange. The wound did not give off the characteristic smoke that accompanied contact with silver.
What was happening?
{SCENE BREAK}
Greyback noticed this too.
" What 's wrong ?!" he said looking at the young man." Why hasn't the silver burned you ?!" the dark-skinned young man looked at the wound and smiled.
" This?!" He pointed at the cut, looking at his rival smiling." Do you want to know something fun?! I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SILVER DOESN'T AFFECT ME!" Everyone looked at him with wide eyes." Surprise!"
Among her clansmen, Hermione rolled her eyes at her husband's nonsense. As if he understood, Shadow covered his eyes with his paw, anyone would say he looked embarrassed.
But the idiotic face that the half-transformed werewolf had gave more than one person the courage to create a patronus.
" That's... impossible." Greyback finally managed to say.
In response, Harry lifted the seal and placed it against his hand. He then held it up so that everyone could see that there was no scar.
" See, little dog!" he said seriously." I'm the first one who isn't affected by silver!" and the truth was that he wasn't lying, being the first lupin.
Greyback gave a growl before launching himself at him. He managed to make a small cut again, this time on his shoulder.
" I don't care, I'll kill you anyway !" he replied." Now I'm more powerful than you !" he launched himself at him again.
This time Harry stood still, head down, and grabbed the werewolf's two claws without looking.
" Do you think you're the only one who can do that? " he said in a hoarse voice. When he raised his head, fear paralyzed Greyback.
" How ...?." He didn't finish, as Harry jumped into the air, still holding Greyback's two claws, and gave him a double kick to the chest that launched him backwards.
Upon landing, he rose quickly only to freeze completely.
In front of him, Harry Potter had taken his partial transformation to a new level.
In front of Greyback, the boy had suffered very visible changes. His ears had lengthened slightly and were covered in black fur. His claws came out of his fingers that also showed traces of black fur. The most shocking thing was that his eyes had not changed, they were still green but with a glow that got into his mind paralyzing him with fear. To top it off, his snout had grown a few centimeters, remaining between human and werewolf. Showing white fangs that only promised pain.
" Come dog !" said Harry. " Now you will know what a wolf really is ! " the boy accompanied this with a new blow of his magical aura.
Immediately, most of the werewolves knelt, submitting to an extremely powerful alpha. Even many of Greyback's packs.
All the alphas realized that a unique werewolf had been born. An alpha among alphas.
Greyback's mind was at its limit. He couldn't understand how that pup could be more powerful than him. Never! Not even when he was just converted, had he felt something like this. The boy was already far superior to him. He could only think of two things, the punishment his master would give him if he didn't fulfill his mission. And that he had to kill the boy before he fully developed his power."
Thinking of his lord, he thought that the latter could fully understand the reason why he wanted to kill the boy. In a few years, even his master would have trouble fighting this whelp.
Greyback knew he couldn't beat the damn Potter. He looked at his trusted men who nodded knowing what he expected of them.
At the same time, he lightly touched the pocket in which he had his master's portkey.
He was already thinking of escaping with the corpse of the damned pup. A couple of curses from his master might be bearable in order to complete his mission.
But before he could take a single step, all of his men fell to the ground unconscious. Quickly everyone around them retreated. A member of Greyback's followers could be seen on the ground and next to him one of Potter's companions.
Seeing him, the werewolf knew that this time he couldn't be helped by his own people. Maybe he could use this to get closer to the damned kid.
" Why are you attacking my men ?!" he shouted trying to make them see the boy as the one responsible." That goes against the fight of alphas !" he looked at Angus O'Brian." I demand that he be disqualified !"
" What a pathetic way to try to win !" the boy mocked." My friends have only made sure that you don't use the same trick as in the forbidden forest !" he smiled." Anyway, you said yourself that there are no rules ! I think that means that anything goes!" he finished tilting his head. It looked very good as one of his ears shrank slightly.
Hearing this, many could only assume that this wasn't the first time these two had fought. And by the way, the fight was going, the boy had the adult werewolf on the ropes.
From what his companions had done, Greyback had undoubtedly used some dirty trick to try to beat the young alpha.
Only this time the pups were more than ready to act.
The alphas all looked at each other and denied the mad werewolf's request. Angus O'Brian nodded in agreement with the decision.
" It's true!" O'Brian answered." What happened hasn't affected the fight of alphas! And even if it had, both agreed that this fight would happen without rules! You can continue." he finished happy because they could finally get rid of the person responsible for most of the laws and problems that all the werewolves suffered in this part of the magical world.
" Of course, you can surrender !" Harry added smiling." I'm sure your master would like his little dog to come back alive! He'll let you curl up at his feet to warm them up!" At that comment, some of them couldn't contain their laughter and this ended up sending the werewolf out of his mind.
" I 'll kill you ! " he shouted. " I'll be the one who wins !"
Greyback launched himself straight at the boy. But before he could reach him, Harry grabbed his claw and threw him over him, to the ground. When he crashed, he lost all the air in his lungs.
" No way " the dark-haired man replied " I'm the one who's going to win! " After saying this he lifted the werewolf up again and threw him over and over again, ending up painfully on the ground.
When Greyback tried to grab his portkey he saw it fly away, taking away his chance to escape.
All his options were gone.
At the fourth blow, everyone could hear Greyback's pitiful moan of pain. No one knew that he was moaning so much from pain, as from seeing his master's portkey fly away, taking away his chance to escape.
Some even cheered every time the werewolf hit the ground.
There was no doubt that Harry Potter had easily defeated the feared werewolf Fenrir Greyback.
Among the three packs that the mad werewolf controlled until then, feelings were divided. Those closest to Greyback feared the loss of their leader.
Others were hopeful, as they would finally be free from the tyranny imposed by their alpha.
The only thing they agreed on was that everything would change from that moment on.
In the end, Harry decided to stop before killing Greyback. On the last throw, he let go and crashed in front of the place where his three clans were. Ironically he ended up with the rest of his men already defeated by the lupinids.
The green-eyed man reversed the partial transformation and looked at Agnus O'Brian.
" I think I won! " he said smiling.
" No doubt about it," added O'Brian nodding. Then he looked at all the alphas who nodded." The fight is over! Harry Potter of the Orion Cubs clan has defeated Fenrir Greyback of the Blood Claw, Blood Moon, and Fenrir Fangs clans!" he looked towards where the three named clans were." From now on, he is your alpha!"
Those who were happiest with the new change in leadership wasted no time in kneeling down and showing the back of their necks. An unmistakable symbol of submission to their new alpha. Others were undecided and the green-eyed man saw it.
" Those who do not want to accept my domain are free to leave the clan!" he said seriously." But let it be clear to them that they will never again be able to approach the lands that these clans now occupy! Nor use their name as if they were still members!" He again let out his magical aura." If they do it, I myself will take care of hunting them, like the beasts that they are!" some approached Greyback and grabbed him as well as the others who were on the ground. After that, they walked away to avoid problems with the rest.
" Let it be clear for everyone!" Agnus O'Brian began." From now on and until the closing of the council of the longest moon, the loser and those who follow him will be considered without a clan! They will not be able to make challenges, nor be among the alphas!" everyone understood that in this way they had prevented Greyback, when he wakes up, from trying to take over another clan by defeating their leader." Furthermore! The winner will not be able to launch another challenge either! In this way they will avoid problems from the past when, upon losing the fight, the alpha tried to recover his clan arguing that he was tired and his rival took advantage of it!" many nodded in agreement.
Harry, Hermione, and the others realized that the alphas had found a way to prevent Greyback from taking control of all the clans. They had undoubtedly thought of this idea, and others, thinking that only one clan would be defeated. It was understandable, since no one could think that Harry Potter, a pup in the eyes of other werewolves, would defeat the feared and hated Fenrir Greyback.
The rest of the three clans that had accepted the boy as their alpha waited for him to speak to them.
Hermione approached her husband and whispered something in his ear. He made the connection by looking at them.
" While the council lasts, I think I will be the one to represent you!" some nodded, others simply knelt showing their necks." I want you to think about what you want to do when you return! I am not as conceited as your former alpha! I may have won and be your new boss! But it does not seem fair to me that a single wolf is the alpha of all!" this impressed many who heard it." You have several options, Disband the clans and join others!" he raised a finger." I would advise outside the influence of the British Ministry of Magic!" this surprised many both inside and outside the clans." Another option is to choose a new alpha and continue with your life! This option carries the condition that if you return with Greyback or continue with the ideology you had, you will be like those who left with him and you will receive the same treatment! The third option is something new!" He looked at everyone." You will choose three of you who will lead the clan! I will continue to be your alpha, if you want, and if necessary I will protect you! But under no circumstances will I accept some of the current members!" that surprised and did not please many." I know it may seem like I am going against the way of life of a werewolf! But I firmly believe that if we do not change it is impossible for us to achieve a better way of life!" He raised his hand." It is a lot that I ask! I know! That is why I think it would be better if you discussed it among yourselves! You know where my camp is! I would be happy to meet you this afternoon, before the moon rises!"
With a gesture, all the alphas decided to join in. What the young alpha had shown everyone was something never seen before. He had easily surpassed Greyback both as a human and a werewolf. None of them had any doubt that in this transformed state, Potter would tear Greyback into a thousand pieces.
In a way, they feared what could happen that night. It was known that each werewolf recognized its own and during the transformation, they usually stayed together. Avoiding open fights with other packs if there were any nearby, if they were not provoked.
Since he was still almost a pup, it was very possible that his inner wolf would try to impose itself on others.
Without wasting time they went to the nearest place to discuss calmly.
[T/N: I can't wait for Monday! This was a really good chapter that I hope you all enjoyed!

If you can't wait for the next chapter then check out my Patreon for the rest of the chapters. The last chapter of this book is scheduled to come out in March, but for just $10, you can get access to over 300+ posts. Which includes the rest of the book. I changed the pricing of tiers to be cheaper overall after a vote over on Patreon, now there is only one tier but instead of paying $10 for like 13 chapters a month, I only just realised how ridiculous that was, you can pay $10 for 50+ chapters a month. You could also just join the free membership, we still need like 7 people for you guys to get another bonus chapter. (*/ω＼*) ]
