AN: So another new story for me in a few ways. This is a creature fic, which are my favorite fanfics to read, but not a veela story. It's also a new couple for me to write including a male character I haven't ever written. I hope it goes well.

Now, as for The River, it will still be written but I can't work on it on a schedule because it's a matter of when my psyche will allow it and in the meantime I keep having and losing other ideas so I am going to allow myself 2 w.i.p. Stories. This first chapter is told through another's eyes, the rest of the story will be about the couple and this character will not make another appearance, or if he does it won't be in a normal fashion as he has very little to do with the actual story.

Please leave me your thoughts as my muse is nervous over this rare couple.

Without further ado…

2nd May, 1998

The man had lost all color to his face as he crumpled up the missive in his hand while turning and running for the Great Hall at the same time. He must make it before plans were set for the battle and the crowd broke up to head for their missions, their whole world could depend on it.

Remus could feel his heart race and feel the beat of his footfalls as he turned the corner around which was the main stairway of Hogwarts Castle luckily the Hall was just at the bottom.

With no more time left he threw open the doors and halted anyone leaving.

"Wait! Everyone, wait. Nobody leave this room! Professor Flitwick, please seal the door and let nobody out until after I have spoken to Harry and the Order, please." Remus puffed out between breaths. The diminutive Professor Flitwick gave a nod and raised his wand in a flicking motion.

Remus quickly moved to the front of the room. "I need to speak with Head Order of the Phoenix members, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and any adult witch or wizard with any experience with my kind and magical creatures as a whole.

He then opened the door Harry and the other champions had walked through after their names were pulled out of the Goblet of Fire so many years ago and waited until every gathered witch and wizard had come forward that was going to and entered himself, locking and silencing the room as he did so.

"Thanks everyone, we don't have much time, they are on their way so please let me get through the explanation before you ask questions." Remus said then raised the parchment in his hand. "I just received word from a contact of mine warning me of one of Voldemort's plans for this coming night, one of his more evil plans."

Shaking his head he continued on, "He has been working on this plan with Greyback for quite a while. They have been stealing or making many, many time turners for months and months. As they did that, Greyback and his pack have spent the last 14 months attacking and making as many new werewolves as possible, a virtual army of werewolves alone! We didn't realize the extent because they've been spreading them around the globe while they train and gain control."

The gathered group was beginning to look nauseous.

"As I am telling you this there are 200 werewolves transforming 9 days into the future, once transformed they will travel back to our current time and attack at the head of Voldemort's forces. In exchange for their service Voldemort has promised them any Muggleborn, Half Blood, or Blood traitor of their choosing as a prize to do with whatever they choose as well as land of their own to live free of wizarding laws." He finished to many gasps.

"I have only been able to find 15 current werewolves to aid us and none of us will be transformed so we won't be as strong as they will be."

Harry Potter and Hermione Granger stepped forward hands held in friendship and her eyes leaking tears. "What can we help you do Remus? Harry and Ron can finish what they need to without me, I'm not needed for the last step so I can stay and help you." Hermione offered.

"She's right Remus, while it would be nice to finish this with all three of us together as we started, I know she'll be much more of a help to you." Harry said sadly. "Just please keep a watch over my sister." He whispered so only Remus and Hermione could hear.

"I'm not a werewolf but I have become an unregistered Animagi during our time on the run. Lot's of downtime with little to do meant I had time to study." Hermione said before stepping back away from the pair.

She closed her eyes and Remus watched her change from a petite young woman, to a very large pure white Arctic Wolf and found himself smiling at the young witch.

"Oh my cub, that transformation while not saving your life will protect you from the infection of a bite. You really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met. " He said to her in fond remembrance from years before. Hermione smiled at him once she transformed again.

"Harry, go back out to the main room, call for all registered and unregistered Animagi to join our group. Then you and Ron head back out there with the order members not staying with us and start getting everything going. Once you and Ron are done with the last step of your mission, send 'Mione a patronus. She will let us know." Remus instructed, shooing the boys out of the room after a last group hug between the Golden Trio and whispered promises to all three stay safe.

Remus, Hermione, Charlie, and Bill Weasley took command of the Light Wolves. The group with possibly the most dangerous task outside of what Harry had to do facing Voldemort.

After much debate they were able to divide into two groups. Honestly the brothers Weasley wanted to remain together to watch over each other, and Remus and Hermione wished to remain together due to the same familial connection they shared along with Harry. Not by genetic blood, but Marauder spirit!

However, this would have been a mistake. Looking at it from a purely logical standpoint their emotions could endanger each other. So Hermione and Bill lead their two groups out to the forest along the edge near Hagrid's Hut and Remus and Charlie lead their groups down near the front gates.

Just before the first sounds of the oncoming werewolves were heard Remus approached Charlie.

"My friend, if anything happens to me, please watch out for Hermione and Harry for me. Those two, Dora, and Teddy are the only family I have left, they're my life and I can't stand the thought of leaving them behind alone."

"Remus, you know we take care of our own, they won't be alone. Now, enough maudlin, let's do this!" Charlie clapped him on the shoulder and smiled that crinkly eyed grin only he could and jogged back to meet his group.

An hour later as Remus fell to Greyback his last vision was Charlie Weasley being mauled and a great white wolf jump on top of his attacker.

He saw no more…

AN2: That is the first chapter of my new story. Now, this is the ONLY battle scene of the story, the next update will begin in the days after the war ends. Please leave me your thoughts because as I said, this is a new pairing for me. There just aren't a whole lot of Hermione/Charlie stories out there so I am throwing myself into that arena.
