Basic Wants - Chapter 32: Confirmation

unneeded: This story is such fun. I always look for it on the latest list. ^^

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!

shellyfish: so, auch von mir mal wieder eine review! aber ich schwöre, dass ich jeden samstag schon ganz gespannt bin, ob denn wieder ein neues kapitel raus ist!.

ha, ich bin ja froh, dass sie sich ausgesprochen haben und alles auf dem weg der besserung ist. obwohl du bestimmt noch ein paar steine im petto hast, die du ihnen in den weg legen kannst. und es wird ein junge! ich bin immer froh, wenn sowas nich geheimgehalten wird, da werd ich immer ganz kribbelig vor neugier. achja, eine bitte: kannst du das kind bitte nich aiden nennen? der name is total ausgelutscht. irgendwie benutzt den jeder autor.

Na, dann ist ja gut ... Hab noch ne ganze Geröllhalde - Zu einfach darf man's ihnen ja auch nicht machen, oder? Immer diese Extrawünsche, aber Aiden ist mir ehrlich gesagt, auch noch nicht in den Sinn gekommen, also stehen die Chancen ganz gut für dich...

Althydia: Aww, the nicknames are not really back... But great chapter all the same! I liked the pack in the Healer's office, the latter's relationship with his traumatised brother, and basically all of Harry and Fenrir's interactions. I'd really love to see Harry and Fenrir in antenatal classes and at the Ministry inauguration, because I'd like to see how they interact with people they are not familiar with, outside of their comfort zone. Also, Fenrir in antenatal class sounds rather like a funny sight... Plus, these situations would let us know how people react to Harry now that he's 'allied' with Voldemort, since we haven't seen him make a public appearance since Azkaban (if I remember correctly).

As for the baby's sex, I liked how Harry knew it before being told, and I didn't have a preference, but a boy might be easier since they are in rather 'male' environments all the time. Will they be discussing baby names soon?

I also was a bit frightened that Harry would reminisce the 'incident' when Fenrir almost raped him in the corridor, and they would be back to square one... Voldemort's appearance kind of distracted them, though, and was he a bit protective of Harry when he remarked on his clinging to abusive friends...?

And nice to know that Harry can be possessive and jalous too.

So next chapter: confrontation with David, right? I guess it will be some kind of test for Fenrir, to show Harry that he can control his temper and trust him. Another test might be when Harry spends the night in Fenrir's hut again...

Thank you for the new chapter, and see you next chapter!

Well, good news is that you will see all of that, and you're right that Harry hasn't really been out in public since the War ended. Hope you'll like it... Baby names will be discussed eventually, but not for a few more chapters... Definitely, Voldemort was protective of Harry and I don't think, he's too thrilled about Harry's decision to give Fenrir a second chance. If that is only because of protectiveness or also because Voldemort would much prefer it if Harry stayed at the castle and was always within easy reach, is another question, though...

Kera-Izaki: Yeah, it a boy! ;D Can you name it Nathan James? Please? (Unless you already have a name picked out for him ^^) I can't wait to see what happen with David, it been a while since we've seen him. And the class too! I expect a lot of lolz, lol XD

Happy Valentines Day!

Thank you. Hope you had a happy Valentine's Day as well... Sorry, I already have a name picked, but I like Nathan ... The antenatal class won't be in the next chapter yet, but David will, so I hope you'll like it!

Basic Wants - Chapter 31: Solidarity

Kera-Izaki: Hey, guess what, the review are working now! I can move up and down and see the writing and It loads so much faster! Do you think mabye it's because I have Firefox now, and the sight is making it's new programing byist to that? Sorta like Y-Gallery? IDK, but I'm Happy! And I'm happy about the new chapter! Yea! xD I think the nursery is sooo cute, and I love the carpets, I'm sure Harry does too, lol ;3 Can't wait for next week!

Wow, congratulations! I have no idea what caused it, I'm really not that good with computers... That's why I have a brother ... Thank you! I'm happy that you liked the nursery...

dominique: okat that good they made up yeah

Thank you! Wanna bet how long it last before they get into another fight?

Althydia: Aww, Harry seems to be almost back to himself now... being snarky with Fenrir and all. Although he still has some stigmas. I guess when he lets Fenrir touch his neck will be when most of his issues with him are resolved? But the nicknames are back!

Also, he finally saw the nursery (lovely scene) and showed the baby's ultrasonic image to the pack! Yay! I don't know how Healer Lestrange will react to the whole pack accompanying Harry, though... Could he do something for Bryan's health problems too? And we'll get the castle's inhabitants' reactions to Harry being back with Fenrir in the next chapter? I'm a bit afraid of Fenrir's confrontation with Travers, though, because if he loses his temper Harry will definitely get angry with him again...

There were many things in your chapter as usual, so I can't say all the things I liked in detail, but is there going to be a shopping trip soon? And of course I loved the fatherly moment with Remus (I'm always craving for those!), Chetan's enthusiastic self and his continuing reading lessons with Harry, the complicity between different members of the pack and Harry, and everyone making Harry understand that it's okay to ask for help sometimes and that they want to take care of him... and of course Fenrir's tenderness and protectiveness with Harry, as well as his sexual innuendos which make Harry blush!

In a nutshell: I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter and am very much looking forward to the next one!

Hm, about the nicknames. I think I might have raised some false hopes with that, sorry... Bryan's health problems are another issue, maybe Rudolphus would be able to help him, but for that he would have to know that something is wrong... David is not yet in the next chapter, but Voldemort will be. Hope you'll like it ... Shopping trip, hadn't thought about that yet, but Fenrir and Harry will definitely spend some time away from the pack... Thank you very much!

Basic Needs + Basic Wants up to Chapter 27: All the Facts

Basic Needs

purefaith91: Your story has so many emotions running, that it keeps one reading to see what will happen next. Unusual for a setting that never changes (like their jail cell). I have always disliked Fenrir and so avoided reading stories about him. I am really glad that I decided to give this a chance as it is a very enjoyable read. p

Thank you. I'm glad I could convert you ...

So sad, but then it is parr for the course for Harry it seems. I find it amusing that people more often than not see Ron as a mouthy thug. That is also the impression that comes through in the movies as he gets older, but I am really disappointed in Hermione (thought she was smarter than that). Excellent chapter. p

I never really liked Ron, to be honest, he always seemed a bit unstable in his friendship to Harry and though I can understand his frustration at always being pushed in the background, it isn't exactly fair to lash out at Harry... I generally like Hermione better, but then again, she too can be a little obsessive at times...

Excellent! Very enjoyable read. I am definitely moving on to read the next part. Thanks for sharing your stories. p

Thank you!

Basic Wants

purefaith91: Yay! I could understand why Harry never said anything about the continued attacks by the weres, but I could not understand why Fen did not see it. And when "accidents" that caused him damage happened, why did that not make him pay attention to what was going on around him. I think that he figured that they would be afraid to do anything to Harry because he was supposed to be under his protection. Still think he is letting the attackers off too lightly if all he expects them to do is apologize. It is too sad that Harry feels as though he has no one that is concerned or cared enough to protect him. He didn't even have Remus anymore as Harry saw him as being happy where he was and also oblivious to what was happening to Harry. I am hopeful that Fen's eyes opening mean a different life for Harry in the long run. p

I think Fenrir, despite being an Alpha and everything, was a little overwhelmed with being back with his pack and he was happy to believe everything was just peachy. He's been in Azkaban for a long time and I think it was quite an adjustment for him to get out and take responsibility for so many werewolves... I don't think he ignored what happened to Harry out of malicious intent, but because he had so many other things to take care of and thought that his pack would follow his example in regards to Harry...

hmmm. Sirius, huh? Since I am the eternal optimist, I am thinking that he killed the relatives for what they had done to Harry over the years, or maybe a curse, or "the order wanted him to kill them". Anyway (and this may have been part of his own motivation), maybe he wanted Harry in Azkaban to protect him from the Order and/or LV. Or the Order could have threatened him or Harry should he come forward, etc. Harry has to have someone that he can feel is taking care of his best interests without getting anything in return. And I don't know about anyone else, but I would be tempted to take up LV's cause (especially with the condition that he did not have to kill) after what the order, ministry, "friends" did to him. At the very least, I would not be so nasty to him, even if I did not join him. Excellent chapter. p

I like your theory about Sirius wanting Harry in Azkaban for his own protection. It's not what happened, but it's a great idea... Harry, I think, doesn't want to take anyone's side anymore, not the ministry's or the orders or Voldemort, because he's just tired of fighting...

It is a little bizarre that Harry can espouse forgiveness to David while telling him that they probably deserve to die, and then will not forgive Sirius for protecting him. The one thing he has always complained that he never had and really wanted. And what is the deal with him all of a sudden not wanting anything to happen to the Dursleys. He may have blocked it out of his memory, but he did not block it out of who he is. Maybe that exacerbates his bad attitude, because he often sounds like an immature teen and not what you would expect from someone that has seen what he has in his life.

And after times when he is out of the loop and knows nothing, how can he not understand that Sirius might not have been oblivious as he said he was. And finally, people do not take almost being raped as normal "when he is drunk" unless it has happened before. As you do so well, I know that you will clear all of this up before it is done. Excellent story and love your LV...he is evil, but reasonable about some things so is totally believable. p

I think preaching forgiveness and actually forgiving someone who has wronged you are two very different things. David's case doesn't hit as close to home as what Sirius has done and certainly, Harry didn't really like the Dursleys, but that doesn't mean that he wanted to come home and find them tortured to death. Fanfiction is big on vengeance and making the Dursleys (and others) pay for what they did to Harry, but I just don't see him as appreciating such acts of kindness...

I can't speak for everyone, but I cannot review every chapter when reading multiple chapters at one time. The website puts up a notice that says that I cannot make more than one review and it does it after I've typed out these long reviews. And I cannot figure out where this will occur so skip chapters. I would be really surprised if your fans are no longer reading your story as it is excellent! p

Thank you! I didn't know that... and anyway, I'm over that bout of insecurity

Very interesting. Why can't they drug the baby right before the full moon if it would keep it from changing "back", it should keep it from changing to start with also. Maybe Snape and the twins can get on a new potion. Happy that Harry is being nice to SB and love David (he might be really good for Draco). reading on... p

I'm no expert on werewolves, but I see it like this: The rise of the full moon forces a werewolf to shift into his wolf form (even with the Wolfsbane Potion, Remus turned into a wolf), but the turning back into human is a more conscious decision because come morning the human part of their nature takes over again. They can allow their wolfish sides to surface partially (lengthening incisors, yellow eyes, claws, etc.) even without the light of the full moon, so I think it's only fair that they have to be conscious to turn back into human form... Does that make sense? Have I explained that to your satisfaction?

If that is the way Harry treats people that he cares about, it would be more pleasant to be a casual friend, I think. I think he was better, kinder and more understanding when he was in Azkaban. Maybe SS can make him a potion to improve his attitude . p

I'm not sure what chapter you're referring to, but I think in Azkaban, Harry wasn't under nearly as much pressure as he is now. He didn't have to deal with Voldemort and the aftermath of the war, or with a jealous pack of werewolves, or a returned-from-the-dead godfather; he didn't even have to deal with himself because he never expected to have a future...

I find myself liking your LV. I know he is evil, but he seems to have a reverence for Harry that others do not...he sees his strength and ability to be necessary. It seems that everyone else looks at him as needing taking care of and not independent. He kind of needs both and LV is the only one that it seems understands that. Chetan's remarks though should make Harry think because I much agree with him. p

I like to think of Voldemort and Harry as kindred spirits. They both made some of the same experiences, they are both exceptionally powerful and they both have their fair share of issues...

See? I knew you would answer earlier questions. Harry is afraid of his feelings toward the baby and is taking them out on Fen. Still think he is being a little creep to him, but maybe the healer can help him deal better with them. I'm kind of liking your LeStrange also (I'm getting worried because I prefer the bad guys here). And maybe Fen reminding Harry about the things that his relatives did to him will actually help him "forgive and forget" what Sirius did. Great chapter. p

Lestrange isn't really a bad guy, he made some mistakes, but he's not evil... Thank you!

If Harry wakes up a whiny, apologizing idiot, I am going to have to take a break from this story. I did not catch him telling Fen that he actually slept with David, but either way, his life is ruined...for the rest of his life and Harry has now seen what will happen if he makes Fen mad at him. He would have no hope of protecting himself or his child, which had been his greatest or one of his greatest fears. He should leave and take Remus and Sirius with him. They can take care of him through the changes. p

Well, that would be a valuable option, but you should know me better than that... I can't resist a challenge

Thank you!!! Still loving your LV AND his remaining Death Eaters. Letting Harry use his body is just proof that he has a soft spot for him. I hope Harry stays there at the castle for awhile. Fen's superior attitude calls for Harry to refuse to be around him for a very, very long time. And I hope that his pack is pissed and let him know it. Excellent chapter! p

Thank you! I hope you liked the reaction of the pack and the next few chapter in general! And thank you for all your reviews!

Basic Wants - Chapter 30: Passion

Kera-Izaki: At first I was like Yea! And then I was like D'aww. And then It got a little steamy (Q nosebleed). And then I giggled. And then I was like Yea again. And now I'm a very happy camper :3

Sounds like you enjoyed the chapter! Thank you!

Gwen: A review for ch 29, before I read the 30th; somehow, it kinda makes sense that something like what happened had to happen to make Harry realize he loves him back. Lovely chapter. Now I'm off to read ch 30. This is a good thing about being away for awhile, you have more chapters awaiting you when you return!

Yeah, I thought so too... Thank you! Hope you enjoyed chapter 30 as well...

Althydia: Aww... What a sweet chapter! And hot too. Nice way for Harry and Fenrir to speak more about their feelings and understand each other. I'm glad Fenrir demanded a real relationship this time, so that they can start again on a safer basis. Also, trust is not completely restored yet so it's not too suddenly back too normal. And Harry raised a good point about the Alpha supposed to support but not always supported himself.

- About what you said about Sirius: yes, I can see how he would know what Fenrir is going through since he went through a similar experience. So Harry is good at giving second chances, isn't he?

- And about the pack starting to like Harry because of the baby: yes, it's true, but it can also be seen as them being naturally wary of Harry as a wizard (and them being no too fond of wizards), but Harry having Fenrir's baby proving that he is not prejudiced against werewolves (as per their stereotypes of wizards) and can be trusted. I'm sure they'll also like Harry for himself, if they don't already (which I think they do too, since Harry has created bonds with almost each of them). I do hope that Fenrir will be able to soothe at least some of Harry's insecurities, though...

Now, how will the others think about Harry and Fenrir's reconciliation? And will Fenrir be able to face Travers again without attacking him (at least for Harry's sake)?

Thank you! Yes, I think Harry's forgiving nature is one of his more loveable attributes ... Certainly the pack also likes Harry for himself, but I just wanted to point out that Harry might not see it that way... The next chapter will be all about the pack and their reaction to Fenrir and Harry making up... Travers will be in the chapter after that, I think...

dominique: I really like i guess i just want harry happy and safe as well as his baby

Thank you. You'd get along well with Fenrir, I guess

griffonsperch: What a wonderful lemon! I love the way you write. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much!

noabi: a really interesting story, I was wondering what about the former presoners (light side)' how are they faring?

Thank you. The Death Eaters-in-training are still around and we'll see two of them again soon...

Basic Wants - Chapter 29: Communication

Kera-Izaki: FINALY! (i shout from the roof-tops) lol XD I'm so glad they're accutaly talking to each other! I've been waiting and conplaining about thing for how long!?! But yea, I wouldn't worry to much about it being spontantinse, with the talk to Siruis and just all the time it's taken. it feels more like they're tired of fighting. :3 Also, I figured out that I can stay on teh review page as long as I like, but I can't move up or down beacuse I won't show me any of the writing >,< Oh well~ I'll just have to be the first review, ne? lol XD

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, either, was it? I think they just needed to realise how much they stand to lose if they don't work on their attitudes towards each other... That sucks, I'll try to remember that so that I can answer your review first. I can't promise anything since my memory is like a sieve sometimes, but I'll try...

dominique: am happy their back together again i love it

Thank you! Hope you'll like the next chapter as well...

unnneeded: they're finally getting their act together. Kudos.

About time, isn't it? Thanks for reviewing!

tamikolee: I loved it. It wasn't too soon, you have to keep the story moving:)

Thank you! I'll see what I can do...

Jade: Awww yay I'm glad they made up and confessed their feels for each other it's about time.

I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and their little heart-to-heart...

PG: Imagine this review in the voice of comicbook guy from the Simpsons; best chapter, EVER.

Thank you!

Althydia: Aha! They finally admitted their feelings for each other! Yay! And Harry started it too... I wouldn't have bet on that. I do hope, though, that it was not just the hormones talking and he'll change his mind the next day, depending on his mood swings. It's a great step for Harry because he also admitted some of his own insecurities and shortcomings to Fenrir. He was indeed the one always rejecting any deeper feelings and goading Fenrir's temper...

I was glad about how you resolved the situation, because the moment sounded right and it doesn't mean it will suddenly become like before either; they'll still both have to work on rebuilding their trust in each other and to work on creating an intimacy which was destroyed by Fenrir's attack.

Also, isn't it a bit ironical that Sirius played the voice of reason with Fenrir? And it was cute how Fenrir felt that he had to comfort him too; it meant he kind of saw Sirius as one of his pack and had a responsibility to him as Alpha. Or am I overanalysing this?

Oh and I didn't even think about how Harry would feel about the baby and how people were more interested in it than him. Very good point, though! But Fenrir himself looks - to me - as if Harry comes first to him, actually. And apart from Remus (his relationship with Harry still gives me the fluffies) and Sirius, I think other people are more interested in Harry's well being than his baby's - like Voldemort or Travers (both for more selfish reasons, though).

Anyway, I loved the ending scene again, and I look forward to seeing how the fragile peace is restored and strengthened between our 2 favourite stubborn men...

I think Harry will need more time to really open up to Fenrir and stop being so defensive, even if he does realise that he isn't helping their relationship with this attitude...

I agree that they still have a lot of work ahead of them, even though I decided to give them a bit intimacy in the next chapter. It just felt right, you know, also because Harry felt that Fenrir wasn't interested in him anymore...

I figured that Sirius would understand Fenrir's situation better than most because he also betrayed Harry and was forgiven. And I rewrote that actually. In the first draft, Fenrir wasn't at all inclined to comfort Sirius, but it didn't seem like something he would do. Also, I think it was important for Fenrir to feel like an Alpha again...

There're a lot of people to whom Harry is more important than his baby, but fact is that the pack only started being nice to Harry after they learned of his pregnancy. To someone as insecure as Harry, that's rather telling....

Thank you! Hope you'll like the next chapter!

Basic Wants - Chapter 28: Advice

Myniephoenix: Harry did forgive Sirius. And Fen has been trying so hard.

Good point... Thanks for reviewing!

dominique: yeah i do think he has want more

Good to know ... Hope you'll like the next chapter!

doxiesmom14: love your story...i think he has suffered enough.

Thank you! I'm glad you think so!

chris7100: "Has Fenrir suffered enough?" Um, no. Not only no, but HELL NO! You may have written yourself into a corner here. No matter how forgiving your Harry is and how much he may love Fenrir, it's going to take real time and work for any reconciliation to be remotely believable. Fenrir's actions weren't the straw that broke the camel's back, but rather the 1000 lb. anvil. Some scenes of Fenrir actively combating his own prejudice against wizards who aren't Harry, as well as F ensuring and encouraging the education of his pack would go a long way toward resolving this issue. There has to be real, visible internally driven change in Fenrir before the Harry you created can start to heal.

Hm, you think so? And what about Harry? Don't you think he contributed to that anvil as well? I mean, he did provoke Fenrir and he wasn't exactly innocent. And the pack is on Harry's side, with the exception of Lin, they don't see Harry as inferior because he's only a wizard... I agree that there has to be some change, but I think Harry needs to change as well and as much as I would like Fenrir to suffer a bit more, I think that would only destroy the pack... I hope I'll be able to convince you and thank you for reviewing

unneeded: *wow. in the doghouse hard core. I hope he'll be let out some time soon and is able to earn Harry's trust once more.

You could say that... I hope you'll enjoy the next chapter...

Althydia: I didn't expect Harry to be already back in the pack with no more scenes at the castle, but I'm not complaining either way.

I loved Remus's overprotective reaction and Harry's response to him (so sweet!), and the pack's reactions to the 'incident'. Actually, you said that they were not taking sides, but their attitudes to Fenrir suggested otherwise... didn't they?

This is a very painful chapter for Fenrir, but he does have to show his remorse for what he did. And Harry is quite nice to not cut him off from their child, since what Fenrir did endangered their baby too. I guess too many chapters with this tense situation between Fenrir and Harry would become rather depressing, but I honestly still don't see how you're going to make things better between them and make Harry forget this traumatic experience (he still has nightmares after all - and yet Fenrir still expected Harry to come back to their hut?!). Well, Fenrir is at least trying to re-establish his role as protector instead of aggressor with Harry...

By the way, did Harry see the nursery built by the pack or not?

And very nice ending scene with the pack as werewolves welcoming Harry into their midst, as one of them.

I think the pack is taking sides as much as they can, but since Fenrir is their Alpha they can't openly declare their loyalty to Harry... Well, Fenrir has shown Harry nothing but is good side for almost a month now, he's been patient and helpful and passive. For someone like Fenrir, that isn't easy and I'm sure that Harry appreciates that as well... Fact is, I'm not going to make Harry forget what happened, but this non-communication between them isn't good for either of them... And no, Harry hasn't seen nursery yet... Thank you!

mrequecky: Wow, loved the updates!

Thank you, hope you'll like the next one as well...

Basic Wants - Chapter 27: All the Facts

dominique: i think harry should not forgive greybeck i like that vodly was kind of sweet to harry i find that they make a better couple happy the baby is okay

You're not the only one who suggested that solution, but I hope you'll forgive me if I still want to give the Fenrir/Harry pairing another go...

unneeded: good grief what a mess. Fen really screwed it this time. I wonder how he'll make it up.

I'm still wondering about that as well Thanks for your review!

Marcus: Now that ALMOST made up for the crap in the previous chapter :-P but you're still not excused for putting me through that. I wasn't even able to review without cursing, so I decided to forgo it. But now that you fixed it, mostly at least, you get one. I admit I really wanted Fenrir to kill David and Draco, even going as far as going 'kill,kill,kill! Good doggie!' all through most of the chapter. I still dislike David immensly, but he got a LITTLE excused when he said sorry to Harry and explained why. Still would have cheered Fenrir on if he had killed him though. Only Fenrir wouldn't have had any chance with Harry then... Ah well. Really loved Voldemort in This chapter and Harry's escape to his body More voldy är fatherfigure to harry to the people, Please! He feels slightly like a protective father/uncle really like him here!

And david's explanation was rather believable as to How a real Rapevictim would react. Bad Draco. Still like neither of them and think they take TOO much space though.

Now, what will remus do when if finds out what happened? Can't wait for that

I'm sorry to hear that . And I'm surprised that you don't seem overly upset with Fenrir, but I can work with that, don't worry... There'll definitely be more of Voldemort in future chapters (he won't be ignored), and sadly for you, Draco and David will also play major roles... Still, I hope you'll like the next chapter...

qwerty: Damn Fenrir. Just... damn.

Good chapter!

Hm, yes, he kind of messed up, didn't he? Thank you!

shellyfish: also ich denke, dass ich grade sehr gerne ein tasse kaffee trinken würde und dazu etwas eierlikörkuchen wäre sicher auch nicht schlecht. und danach abendessen kochen. hört sich doch toll an, oder?

ansonten denke ich darüber nach, dass ich dein neuestes kapitel toll finde! ein leidender harry, ein besessener voldemort (hat man in der konstellation auch eher selten), fenrir soo klein mit hut. super! leider war ich wieder viel zu schnell durch das kapitel durch. erstes kriterium bei mir ist immer, wie klein dieses scrollverschieberteil ist. desto kleiner, desto glücklicher macht es mich

allerdings fand ich etwas aus dem letzten kapitel ein wenig seltsam: erst hat fenrir nix seltsames gemerkt, und dann als er denk, harry hätte mit den beiden geschlafen, sagt er aufeinmal das er david und draco auf harry riecht. pure einbildung im eifer des gefechts? oder wollte er damit nur harry beleidigen?

bis nächste woche, schreib schön fleißig!

ps: der schnee ist weg! stattdessen haben wir grad richtig schönes hochwasser!

Oh ja, sehr lecker! Hab gestern meine letzten Plätzchen gegessen, aber weil ich vor Weihnachten eh nicht zum Backen gekommen bin, back ich vielleicht bald mal neue... Ach, dann fürchte ich, das neue Kapitel wird dich so ganz und gar nicht glücklich machen. 3000 Wörter. Ich hatte schon Kapitel, die waren doppelt so lang...

Yep, Einbildung und Eifersucht, und besonders nett war das, was er gesagt hat, ja auch nicht... Wahrscheinlich hat er durchaus David und Draco an Harry gerochen (schließlich haben sie ja zusammen gegessen) und dann hat seine Eifersucht den Geruch multipliziert...

Ja, Hochwasser, wenigstens wirkst so, als hätten sie in Deutschland soweit alles unter Kontrolle. Ist doch schon mal was... Aber ich fand den Schnee trotzdem schöner...

Althydia: I loved this chapter; thank you for not making us wait too long for an explanation of what really happened! I feel more hope now that you've said that you like happy endings, but I must say I really don't know how Fenrir can make it up to Harry and make Harry forgive and trust him... Maybe they should both start with some overdue counselling as a first step towards a potential reconciliation? Some type of therapy for Fenrir's prejudices and anger management, and Harry's trust issues? The latter is again very easily forgiving of David too, much more than he ever was of Fenrir, even though David was (and still is) a ruthless Death Eater (and even though David is a rape victim which makes Harry more indulgent with him, Fenrir has some good points for himself - like his caring of his pack - which David didn't seem to have before Azkaban), as you mentioned before. An explanation of what happened at that dinner in the next chapter will indeed be useful in this respect, because at the moment I kind of feel that the ones who started this mess (Draco and David) are let off hook the easiest...

Harry's rightful anger and punishment of Fenrir, and his fear for his baby were very well done, and would it be weird to say that I found Harry holding Voldemort's hand cute? Because I did. Harry's time away from the pack will probably benefit Voldemort too, who can continue Harry's 'education' as his heir. By the way, will we see some scenes outside the pack or castle soon? Harry might like a change of air to try and forget about a certain werewolf... Also, wouldn't Remus and Sirius be very worried for Harry by now? And will Harry resent that they didn't help him with Fenrir (like the rest of the pack, for that matter)? After all, Harry might still need someone who is a werewolf at his side to help him, since his baby will be half-werewolf.

Your story keeps entertaining and intriguing me... I very much look forward to the next chapter!

I think one of the reasons why Harry more readily forgives David is that he feels protective of the Death Eater while he (deep, deep, deep down) was counting on Fenrir to protect him. David's mistake is therefore only another point that proves how much he needs Harry's help while Fenrir's is seen as a betrayal...

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the Voldemort-Harry-interaction . There will some scenes outside of the pack and castle, but not quite yet because I want to fix things between Fenrir and Harry first... Hope you'll like the next chapter and as always, thanks for your super-long review!

Audrei: Fenrir is so stupid, it was right to take hasty conclusion. And Voldemort so cute, holding Harry's hand.

Please uptade soon.

Well, it wasn't the first time Fenrir jumped to the wrong conclusion and I'm afraid it won't be the last time either. Thank you!

sutekh_nubt: Mhm, well... I have to say that this back and forth and being nice and not being nice to each other is kind of getting on my nerves. Sometimes I have the feeling that they don't get closer to each other, not really. You can't really call it (whatever it is that these two have) a relationship because their issues have issues and before these aren't cleared up, HP and FG won't be comfortable around each other - and I don't really see that coming at this point in the story. Will it get better (for them)?

I quite agree. I think it's time to move forward, that they talked about their issues and made a definite decision what they want from the other....

Kera-Izaki: Man, I really feel bad for Fen! Though Harry is justified in his anger, I still have to wonder why he lied. And, if I was them, I would be looking at their relationship and just desiding to split the parent-hood, Fen taking the kid sometimes (Around the full and new moon) and Harry the other. It's ovious that they want different things, and have different ways of getting it. I mean, Harry even seems to be trying to break them up! When Fen whats them to get along and be happy. I'm not trying to break them up, I'm just not piticulay fond of train recks, lol XD So mabye you could throw in some happy times? Just for me? *puppy dog eyes*

Also, it's good to be reviewing again! Sorry I wan't for a while, when they switched over to the new forum, I could use it without my computer freezing, and even still I can only be on for a couple seconds, lol XD I hope it keeps getting better!

Can't Wait For MORE!

Thanks,

~Kera

Harry certainly isn't blameless in that whole mess, yes, and though I'm not in favour of breaking them up, I think they need to make up their mind and be honest with each other if they want to have a future together... Happy times? Of course, I can do that, but first I'll have to make them suffer a bit more as you'll understand ...

I had problems with this site as well when I was at home and using the internet connection there... I keep my fingers crossed that you'll figure something out...

InsularFLY: why doesn't harry know Sirius :S He met him in third year. If sirius is his mate I thought the fact he was dead in Harry's time deleted it. What's going on? and if not, shouldn't he know his godfather if he knows remus?

I guess you'll have to read the rest of the story, but the simple answer is that this is an AU and that Sirius never escaped from Azkaban (I hope I didn't spoil anything). I hope you're still enjoying the story...

Basic Wants - Chapter 26: Fidelity

Althydia: O.O ... Talk about a change in the game! I do hope the next chapter will be up soon...

To be perfectly honest, I'm not a big fan of angst, so I'll hope for a happy ending, even though it seems quite far - and potentially hypothetical - in coming now. Still a bit shaken by this. I think I need to get it out of my system, so sorry and I still love your story.

I'm quite frustrated with Harry's attitude and disapprove of his behaviour. But did he really have sex with David? It's not clear yet. And I also think that David was very selfish - Draco too but I'm less surprised - didn't he think of the consequences for Harry if he's his friend? He couldn't have ignored that Harry was with very-possessive-werewolf-Fenrir, who WOULDN'T be pleased with this situation. Right? So I'm not too much in a hurry to see them again in the story for now.

It was even more painful when you showed the efforts of the whole pack to make a nice surprise for Harry, while Harry himself was maybe cheating on Fenrir at the same time.

Now what will happen to Harry and the baby? And to Harry and Fenrir's relationship? Is it even possible to salvage it after such a betrayal on both parts?

Oh the angst...

I'm afraid I like angst far too much to write a story without a fair dose of it, but I'm also ridiculously fond of happy endings, so I wouldn't despair just yet... David and Harry's motivations will be revealed in the next chapter (so yes, that means, David will be in it as well) and since I don't want to spoil anything, I'll leave it at that for now... But thanks for reviewing

dominique: i think harry should stay away from fin until the baby born and fin should really pay for being a ass hole

I'm not sure avoiding the problem (aka Fenrir) is the solution...

Kera-Izaki: Wow... Just, wow. I was not expecting that. And though I'm mad at Fen for indangering the baby, I sorta think he was in his rights. I mean, Harry just keeps trying to fck up their relationship, and Fen is just reacting like anyone who'd been hut would. I really congratlate you for having the guts to go there though! Please write more soon! ^^

Thanks,

~Kera

Good, I'm glad I could surprise you... And I'm also glad that you feel for Fenrir as well because I think Harry isn't completely innocent in this whole mess, either....Thank you!

NickyNakole: Wait a second...okay Im good. Had to hold in tears for this chapter. Wow I really hope that Harry didnt go all the way with David. I have a thing about Harry always remaining true to his men. Just hoping it was some frottage. Anyways let me just say that I am in love with this story and hope this cliffhanger comes to an end soon.

Wow, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to make you cry... And what Harry did or didn't do with David will be in the next chapter, so I hope you won't be disappointed...

unneeded: oh damn, and they were doing so wel.

Maybe on the surface, but I think underneath they still had their fair share of problems...

le-chan: How could he!!! biting harry! omg, what will happen now. And what about the cheating??? omg, I so love and hate you right now!

I guess you'll have to read on to find that out... Thanks, maybe...

Ginger: Well, I had a long review written out for you, but my internet died down, deleting my writing and forcing me to start over. So I'll settle with NO, this doesn't work with you plotline and here's why:

- If David can't have sex with Draco, why would he be able to have sex with 2 people? even if he's comfortable with Harry, he's not even fully comfortable with him. He's a rapevictim and even Harry would see that it'd be a bad idea to agree to this stupid thought. (and really, your story WAS amazing, you don't need this CRAPPY plotline that has no way of working, for ANYONE. Especially not David, as this could just make it worse for him. Harry should say that they should explore on their own, but that he can sit guard, outside or inside, and help david by just being close by, should he feel too panicked and need to be calmed. it's absurd to think having Harry along with them would help any. Please, trust me on this. I know you love drama and angst, but I've been studying psychology for ten years and been a therapist for five, so believe me when I say that this wouldn't even be on the option list of things to do to help a rapevictim be more secure in their own sexuality again.)

And how could Harry turn into a person again? You've said he was biter cause he lost his animagus form on all nights but on the fullmoon. Was it the fullmoon? Was Fenrir a werewolf here? How come he could talk then? I mean, it would explain the anger burst (that even for him was OOC, considering everything), but nothing else.

Read your story, from the beginning. Do you see how ill this fits with the rest of the story and the characters developement? I mean, not even Harry with his helpfullness and habit of rushing into things would miss the fact that this was a BAD/HORRIBLE idea. And Draco.... as nice as he is to David, he would not drag Harry into this. Both Draco and Harry should help David by TALKING to him, not rush into something like this.

You can make the story brilliant again. Either this was all a bad dream, or Harry went home to TALK to Fenrir about it. It's OOC even for Harry to just have sex with them like that. Seriously. This doesn't work in any way for any one. Trust me. Do you want a story with an amazing plot and continuency, or do you want a story that got destroyed by a ill-fitting plotline that wouldn't even work? Come on. You're better than this and you know it.

Aw, I hate when that happens. I always try to save my messages first so that I can copy and paste them back in if that happens - but of course, one day I'll forget, and that will be exactly the day when the internet crashes... Unfair. And considering that you had to write your comment twice, I'm impressed at its length...

Anyway, to the actual content of your review: I guess you expect me to protest? But I don't feel the need to since I mostly agree with you. Just a few clarifications (everything else will be explained in the coming chapter):

- There was never talk of David sleeping with both Draco and Harry.

- Harry was warned off using his Animagus form since a human baby in a wolf's body doesn't seem like such a great mix. It doesn't mean, however, that he can't turn into his wolf form in emergencies. Thus, no, it wasn't the full moon.

- I do think Fenrir has quite a temper and a very possessive side. Harry cheating on him certainly didn't make him a very happy person.

- I'm not sure if you're suggesting that I rework the last chapter because that's something I don't plan to do. My last chapter fits into the plot (at least in my opinion) and I hope the next chapter will convince you as well...

Bev: Can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks for sharing this great story.

Thank you for reading it!

PG: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, that was clear

shellyfish: ich muss ehrlich zugeben, dass ich den einen, relevanten satz nicht richtig verstanden habe: "He asked me to go it with him" meintest du DO it with him? und hat harry es getan? oder hatte er es nur in zukunft vor? und was ist mit dem kind, wenn harry sich einfach in einen wolf verwandelt? hm, gutes kapitel, sehr gemein. ich liebe es, wenn harry ein wenig leiden muss. oder auch ein wenig mehr. gott, bin ich fies... schön brav am samstag updaten! wehe nich!

Jaa, meinte ich... Wegen der anderen Fragen musst du jedoch auf das nächste Kapitel warten. Da wird dann alles (oder zumindest einiges) erklärt... Ach, ich bin auch manchmal recht fies - aber nicht so fies, dass ich euch länger als eine Woche hängen lassen würde...

Basic Wants - Chapter 25: Clarity

Bev: I am really enjoying this story, thanks for sharing it

Thank you, I'm glad you are. Hope you'll like the next chapter!

Altyhdia: Yay, a new chapter! Great gift for the new year!

I loved it, as usual. So, make-up sex in the next chapter, I presume? Which could also be Harry's way of thanking Fenrir for his gracious help in healing Rudolphus's brother...? I do think that Fenrir was actually a bit right in analysing Lestrange's motives (which are also understandable) but he shouldn't have called Harry weak... When will he learn? How will he survive a few more months of mood swings like this?

Once again I liked the interaction between Voldemort and Harry: Voldemort seems to be more human with Harry but keeps his personality at the same time. Will he take precautions and alert the healer himself about Harry's magic and keep an eye on him when he goes to Diagon Alley, in case Harry chooses to ignore his advice? I hope you will show his trip too; that should be interesting. And the dinner with Draco and David! Will Harry go with Fenrir as a couple?

On a completely unrelated note: will Remus be in the next chapter? He should be quite worried by now...

And nice cameo by Snape: I like that he stays in character, particularly with Harry. It would be too weird if they suddenly started to like each other for no reason.

Anyway, thank you for this and Happy New Year to you too! And good luck for your resolutions. Snow made things a bit tricky where I live and in my homeland, so I hope you didn't have any problems.

Can't wait for the next chapter...

No, no make-up sex. There'll be a little time leap... The trip to Diagon Alley, if it takes place, will be later on in the story, but Harry will have dinner with David and Draco in the next chapter... Remus will be in the next chapter, yes... Oh, we had quite a few problems with the snow (particularly in public transport), but by now everything has turned back to normal... Hope you'll like the next chapter, even though I have a feeling you'll be a little disappointed...

mdevries08: I started reading this story last night before bed and I finished it right after I woke up. It's just amazing! I love how much depth your characters have and how they interact with each other. I can't wait for the next update and I look forward to reading more of this story. I'll probably also check out your other stories because I really like your style of writing. Happy New Year!

Wow, I'm impressed! Thank you! I'm glad you liked the story and happy new year to you too

Crepererum

mishap: No offense, but at this point I was almost hoping for SS/HP instead of SB/HP. Beside the fact that it was incredibly sad that Severus thought that there was no hope for him to have someone in his life Sirius was being an utter ass and the whole Godfather thing is a bit creepy especially as that is how Harry gets to know him first. Also considering how much trouble Harry gets into he needs someone to put a leash on him rather than someone who personality wise would get him into even worse trouble.

Ah well I knew it was SB/HP from the start.

None taken. I considered having a SS/HP pairing instead - not seriously, but the thought did cross my mind. But I'm just not really into that ship... And you think the godfather thing is creepy, but the whole teacher thing isn't ? Besides, in this story, Harry never got to know Sirius as his godfather... Hope you're not too disappointed in any case... Thanks for reviewing!

Thank you! I hope so, too...

mrequecky: Yay, loved again

Happy to hear/ read that...

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: *sniggering* That last line had me cracking up. Good thing the rest of the house are deep sleepers... Well done, and I look forward to seeing the next part when you get back.

Thanks, I had fun imagining Fenrir's face... Hope you'll like the next chapter!

Althydia: Very interesting chapter. We learn more about the characters' psyche and doubts. Also, it was nice that Harry tried to know more about Fenrir - nice bonding device. Too bad Fenrir was not very cooperative. He did show some patience and self-control, though, when dealing with a hormonal Harry. Who doesn't seem to realise that the mood swings are already there...

Thank you for raising those new issues, like the portal, etc. Next time we get the conversation between Harry and Voldemort? Do we also get the conversation between Healer Lestrange and Fenrir in Harry's absence? I can imagine it would be quite awkward...

I'm looking forward to the next chapter, but it will be okay to wait a bit if we know something good is at the end of the waiting period. That, and I completely understand the problem of procrastination. Good luck with your work!

Thanks... I think Fenrir would have loved to bond with Harry in another way ... Hm, yes, there'll be conversations between Harry and Voldemort and Fenrir and Rudolphus. Hope you'll like them... Thanks, guess, what my new year's resolution will be?

Werewolf Mistress: Please update chapter 25 soon

Basic Wants - Chapter 23: Understanding

I finally got around to answering your reviews - sorry for the delay! The review replies to chapter 24 should be up soon as well and then I'll update the story asap. I had planned to upload chapter 25 the day after Christmas, but my internet at home did not like this site . Anyway, to your reviews...

Althydia: Thank you for not letting us wait too long for Fenrir and Harry's reconciliation! And finishing with some hotness... I guess it will still be a bit complicated between the two of them (particularly with Harry's hormones involved), but at least some steps have been taken in the right direction (although I'm still not sure Fenrir fully understands the problem). Oh and Fenrir's letter was so sweet - I'm glad Harry remembered it and was moved!

Also, Harry and Sirius keep on bonding more and more, without Remus present this time. Too bad it was interrupted by the 'morning' sickness. The dinner looked good too - I feel for Harry. Hopefully it won't last for the whole pregnancy?

David and Draco are also taking steps in the right direction, and I must say I'm amazed by Draco's patience in your story. They still have a long way to go, though. Did David also mention how he met Harry as an Animagus in Azkaban? And isn't it funny that Harry protests when Draco scoops him up, but doesn't when it's Fenrir doing the carrying?

Quick but cute appearance from Hedwig too. Nice (although slightly yucky too).

No snow here yet, but I hear it's coming very soon.

Oh, it certainly will be difficult and complicated between those two also in future, don’t worry . I’m having too much fun with them…. I think Draco, like Harry, grew up and I think Malfoys are nothing if not persistent, so now that he has a goal (winning David over), he does everything to reach it… Yeah, Draco knows about Harry’s Animagus form, too. It wasn’t really a secret, seeing as Voldemort already knew and would not refrain from showing off with Harry’s, his heir’s, powers and abilities… Lol, I guess Harry’s willing to make some exceptions for Fenrir… Have you had any snow by now?

FruitCat: I love this story. Sometimes I get annoyed with how moody Harry can be, but I figure he has the right to be a little off, considering how much he's been through. Anyways, update soon, because this story is amazing.

Thank you, though I have to admit that I never really had the ambition to keep Harry absolutely in character. I like him moody (though I, too, sometimes get annoyed with him) and a bit bitchy…

Madam Coffee Kitty: Yay, I am happy that David is learning trust and gaining confidence in Draco. I am also happy that David finally told Draco about his experiences and fears. I can't wait to read what you make Harry's cravings out to be; it would be hilarious if he ended up craving chocolate covered rare stake or something like that, I would so crack up. I enjoyed Fenrir and Harry's reunion very much. I'm glad that Headwig is back, she is my favorite owl and I missed her.

Aww, you got snow fall where you are? I hope and wish for snow, but alas, I live in Sacramento California so no snow for me. *sigh* Anyway, I can't wait to read the next chapter. I wish you good luck, good health, and happy writing!

I haven’t really thought about Harry’s cravings yet, though as I am a firm vegetarian myself, I doubt I’ll make him eat rare steak (although the little werewolf would probably like that…). Yes, we have lots of snow. It’s fantastic, at least if you don’t have to go somewhere… Thank you and thanks for your review…

mrequecky: yay for snow and right on for Thanksgiving, too^^

loved the chapter, too

Thanksgiving, right. I had forgotten about that until I read it on my calendar… Thank you…

shellyfish: oje, du bist ja eine richtige heilige! (oder ein heiliger?? ich tippe mal auf ersteres, sorry, falls das dein ego ankratzt). wie auch immer: du musst heilig sein, wo du uns doch die möglichkeit gibst, durch reviews unser eingenes wohlbefinden zu steigern und uns auch noch in christlicher nächstenliebe zu üben! wie lange hast du gebraucht diese liste aufzustellen?

nun zur story: ich wiederhole mich zwar, aber die zwei machen mich wahnsinnig! dieses ständige hin und her, immer ist einer beleidigt. zieh das nicht mehr so lange raus, sonst wird es irgendwann langweilig und . harry und fenrir können sich ja nie länger als 5 minuten unterhalten, ohne dass sie sich wieder streiten.

und noch was allgemein: ich habe mittlerweile so ziemlich alle von deinen anderen stories gelesen und bin begeistert! was ich besonders bemerkenswert finde, ist, dass deine charaktere immer... anders bewertet werden? also, mal ist draco gut (winter and ice), mal schlecht (crepererum). das gleiche mit narcissa. die meisten autoren lassen ihre lieblingscharaktere immer ähnlich handeln, was auf die dauer langweilig wird. bei dir ist das nicht so. obwohl ich mich frage, woher deine vorliebe für rabastan und rudolphus kommt. sie werden ja in den büchern eigentlich nie näher beschrieben.

lg und bis zur nächsten review!

Heilige stimmt schon, also auch kein verletztes Ego . Ja, ich bin schon sehr nett und für die Liste hab ich, glaub ich, so zwanzig Minuten gebraucht? Weiß nicht mehr genau und meine Arbeitsmoral ist auch derart, dass ich immer wieder gerne Pausen einlege, um was anderes zu machen...

Also dieses Hin-und-Her und die ewige Streiterei wird sich wohl noch etwas fortsetzen, erstens weil ich es sehr lustig zum Schreiben finde, zweitens weil die beiden einfach zu stur sind und nicht wirklich auf einander eingehen, und drittens weil sie selbst dann anfangen zu streiten, wenn ich das gar nicht vorhatte…

Mit der anderen Bewertung hast du schon Recht und ich glaub, dass liegt einfach daran, dass ich immer mit einer groben Idee anfang und mir dann überleg in welche Richtung sie sich entwickelt, wenn der eine Charakter freundlich bzw. feindlich ist. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich wirklich einen Lieblingscharakter hab (außer Harry) und ich finde, man kann ja auch die „bösen“ Charaktere durchaus mögen. Ich find Draco in Crepererum zum Beispiel toll, und Snape und Voldemort mag ich auch, wenn sie auf der falschen Seite stehen… Und Rudolphus und Rabastan sind einfach sehr praktisch, weil sie in den Büchern keine großen Rollen spielen, so dass ich sie mir praktisch selbst erfinden konnte. Das macht Spaß…

Aber jetzt hab ich ziemlich lang gelabert, tut mir leid, eigentlich wollt ich dir nur für deinen Kommentar danken… Danke!

jaaa, schnee! wir hatten auch welchen! aber er is schon wieder fast weg... schade... juhuu, make-up sex! sie mögen sich wieder! mal schauen, wie lange... ob gleich am anfang des nächsten kapitels fenrir wieder iwas unüberlegtes sagt und harry es in den falschen hals kriegt... ich bin gespannt... updaten! schneller! länger! mehr! los! bitte?

Bei uns wars auch ein ziemliches Hin-und-Her mit dem Schnee, aber am Ende hatten wir dann doch weiße Weihnachten, also bin ich zufrieden… Hoffe du hattest auch frohe Weihnachten…

Jenova625: Yay~ another awesome chapter~!

I love the way Draco is growing and how hard he's trying to win David ^.^

I really wish Harry would bitch a little less and acknowledge the vast support system he's got, heck even big, bad, Voldy lets him do whatever he wants and tries to make sure Harry's got the best pre-natal care possible. Some of Harry's snarky outbursts are understandable with the level of stress he's under with the baby and the way he's had self-suficiency drilled into him but really...some times they seem unwarranted, so they can get annoying. XP But other than that--this story is great! Keep up the awesome work~!

Thank you! I’m glad you like Draco… I can understand your frustration with Harry, sometimes he also annoys me. I realise that he’s rather bitchy and tends to fly off the handle rather quickly. I’m not sure all of it can be explained by the stress he’s under, his childhood, his past with the Order and Dumbledore – all I’m saying is that I can understand why he reacts the way he does, because that’s what I imagine such circumstances would provoke… I’m not sure I explained that well, but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say… Thank you!

Audrei: I love your fic, please up soon.

Thank you. I’ll update as soon as possible…

LadyGrelka: I am a bit confused. In this chapter Harry dose not seem to know about James, Sirius and Peter being animagi. Also in a previous chapter it seemed that Harry had never met Sirius in his own time.

Yes, that's true. But when I put AU as a warning, I actually meant it ... I'm sure, if you read on, you'll find out why Harry doesn't know some things...

Basic Wants - Chapter 22: Impartiality

dominique1: i so want harry to keep and have his baby and i want the the rude to help his bro love it

Well, I don't promise anything, but that might just happen...

anarkangel: I have been enjoying your stories. The pairing is a seldom used one and works well. I am always amazed at how one series could spark so many different alternate worlds/stories. Keep up the good work:) I look forward to the next chapter. ~anarkangel

Thank you! I think that's the great thing about the Harry Potter books, that there so many interesting characters and so many possibilities to let loose your imagination...

mithrilandtj: Is someone in a review deficit? ;D --It doesn't surprise me that Bellatrix is a bitch (what else is new?). Fenrir, I think, needs a few calming potions to chill the hell out and stop snarling at the "mother" of his child.

Yes, constantly! I'm not sure if calming potions would do the trick, but a fair dose of self-awareness would be nice...

Althydia: Fenrir really did it this time, hitting Harry just where it hurts, but Harry does raise a valid point that Fenrir has to work on. Poor baby won't have it very easy with both parents having issues. What a rollercoaster of emotions between them in this chapter! I do hope they make up soon, after Fenrir has had some serious thinking, though. He still seems to put his needs before Harry's, whereas Harry seems to think of the baby's needs first (which is quite endearing too - who would have thought he would have such strong maternal instincts already?).

Thank you for showing more of Remus/Harry fatherly goodness too, and for bringing back Hedwig! But poor Hagrid... That's one character I really can't imagine would think Harry a killer and betray him actually.

And about Rabastan: did Bellatrix curse him because her husband was more interested in his brother than her? I hope she gets punished. She's a total nutcase and probably too uncontrollable anyway. And Fenrir was actually helpful in this case (even though unwillingly).

Chetan was nice too, and his reaction is very relevant and reflective of the way he was raised by Fenrir. Fenrir really has a lot of things to learn if he wants to participate in his child's raising...

Will they start looking for a name for the baby soon (after the current issues are dealt with)?

Last note: Voldemort's relationship with Harry definitely seems to be evolving if he can admit personal things like he did to Harry (albeit in parseltongue)...

Thank you for the chapter and see you next time! (will you also write new reasons we should review next time? That was fun:) )

I'm not sure if Fenrir puts his needs first (that wouldn't be very Alpha-worthy behaviour), but I think he assumes that he knows what Harry needs and wants when really he doesn't...

Hagrid is certainly a very gentle and trusting soul, but he is also unwaveringly loyal to Dumbledore, which might not have worked in Harry's favour when he was accused of having killed his relatives...

Bellatrix' motives will come to light eventually, though you do raise a fair point...

I think for Chetan, this situation with Harry is particularly difficult because he has no real experience of life outside of the pack and now Fenrir wants him to care for a human, even though Fenrir always told him that humans can't be trusted. I think if Fenrir were to talk with Chetan, he would realise how hypocritical his behaviour really is...

The baby's name will be discussed, but not for a while (Fenrir already knows that he'll be calling the baby cub, so I doubt he has much interest in that particular topic)...

No, no new reasons. I can't think of any more right now, but I'm glad you liked them...

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: I think I kinda love your Voldemort. Snarky and evil, but still kinda cool. And learning, which I think was a problem with the original - he never seemed to learn, just fixated on one idea and wouldn't let go. Yours is much more adaptable, making him much more likely to take over the world eventually.

Love the story, and love all the characters. Keep up the good work.

ECL

I think Voldemort is remembering his life as Tom Riddle. You know, powerful, cunning, manipulative, ambitious, but also charismatic and charming... And he realised that the wizarding world is much more likely to accept him if he has Harry on his side... Thank you, I'll try!

dragonstar01: love it! Can't wait for more!!

Thank you. Hope you'll like the next chapter!

Raven: Reviews or not I have enjoyed the first installment of this story and was pleased that you chose to continue on with it. I actually have your stories bookmarked.

Thank you! I didn't know you could bookmark stories on affnet...

Linika: I liked the list though I'm havng trouble writing because I just painted my nails *pout*

this is one of my favourite stories and I always get so happy when I see a new chapter I like how Harry and Fenrir blow up at eachother all thetime, and how they solve their problems. I don't know what I'd do if they didn't. I'm hoping for that happy loving end :3

Oh, I know how that is. I'm always to impatient, though... Thank you! I think fighting, making up and fighting again is just part of who Fenrir and Harry are...

Madam Coffee Kitty: Hello again! Wow I can't believe I allowed myself to get so behind in reading your story! Well, I want you to know that I enjoyed all...what was it, like four chapters that I had to catch up to your updates. I am very pleased that Harry's magic is protecting him and his baby and that Fenrir is 'trying' to be more understanding of Harry's feelings. I also think that Fenrir being ticklish is absolutely cute and hilarious! I like that David is getting better and his relationship with Draco is improving, but I would like a more in-depth look at their progress. Since Harry is taking another break for Fenrir and staying at the castle, it should be easier for you to give us a more in-depth look at the dynamics of David and Draco's relationship. Well, I can't wait to read the next chapter! I wish you good luck, good health, and happy writing! Oh and happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you! You'll get a closer look at Draco and David's relationship in the next chapter, so I hope you'll like it.. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, so it's a bit belated...

mrequecky: I guess I'm a very boring reviwer, but I loved the chap

Fenrir and Harry just are a constant communication problem

Ah, no, you're not that bad At least you're a faithful reviewer so that always gives me a good feeling to read your comment... That they are, that they are...

tsukinatora: Ok, you made it, I'm reviewing. Now let's get into bussiness.... NOOOOOOOOO, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE THAT I'VE ALREADY FINISHED WITH THIS FIIIIIICCCCC!!!!!!!!! ;_; I WANT MORE!!!!! Sorry about my hysteria attack. Seriously, the story is great. You hooked me up and I didn't review before because I like to review when I finish to read the stories and since I started to read this one on Monday......But now I'm here to tell you that eventhough I enjoy the bickering among Harry and Fen I think Fen deserves more respect from Harry. I hope you think about it. Thanks for writting. ( I'd like another chap soon, please )

Yay! I'm good!... But don't you think that Harry deserves a bit more respect from Fenrir as well? Another chap is on it's way, hope you'll like it and thank you!

Basic Wants- Chapter 21: Normality

mithrilandtj: Good chapter

Thank you!

dominique: oh how sweet i do hope that harry is able to keep his baby and help with rudolphers brother like he help david yeah love it

Thank you! And I'm sure Harry will help any way he can...

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: Hee, poor Harry. Once again his magic does something weird - but at least this time it's beneficial to him, right? There's times when he doesn't seem emotionally ready to have a kid, but then he makes the decisions that will benefit the child the most. Kid's gonna have an interesting childhood.

And yay for the pack starting to accept/resign themselves to Harry - I'm guessing that's why Chetan's there, showing his support.

You know, it's a great feeling when I read something in a review that foreshadows something that will happen later because it means that I somehow managed to convey exactly what I was meaning to convey . Thank you for that...

Althydia: Cool, we got to see the second full moon (and the end of some suspense)! Harry is special indeed, and in full mood swings mode... Fenrir will have some nice fun for the next few months. But I guess he will also have to admit that magic can be good too (at least Harry's). And did it look like Voldemort cared a bit more than he let on?

So Rudolphus' mysterious patient is revealed; will Harry also have an influence on his health, as with David? Harry and his saviour complex couldn't really leave it alone, right? But it's not true that Fenrir doesn't need him, if the werewolf sees him as his mate! Well, that's Harry and his stubborn insecurities, I guess. Speaking of which, David is slowly getting over his own with Draco (but also adding others?). Good for him.

Not much of Remus and Fenrir in this chapter, but Hedwig returns! Also, will Harry and Fenrir be able to keep a picture of their baby's ultrasound? (I just had a very adorable image of Fenrir coveting it and showing it proudly to the other wolves ) And will we know the sex of the baby in the next chapter? I'd imagine a boy would be less puzzling for them, but I don't have a preference. And will Harry be lactating? (I also had an image of Harry feeding his baby in his wolf form - because how will he feed the baby on full moon nights?)

I really can't wait for the next chapter...

Voldemort certainly cares about Harry, in his own way, if only because Harry has proven to be his equal, but I think he really doesn't know how to deal with that... Harry's hero complex will not allow him to not help Rabastan so the question isn't really if he will, but how... About Harry lactating, I really hadn't thought about that yet, but you raise a valid question. I'll have to figure something out :)Thanks for your review!

mrequecky: Oi,what a lovely chapter!!!

Lol, thanks.

Jess: You, without a doubt, have made me love this pairing so much. This story twists into a world that is so different and out of the norm of what I usually read in this fandom. I have to say, as much as I started reading this Fenrir and Harry, I am so loving the relationship between Voldemort and Harry in this, it's killing me! In a good way of course.

Thank you, I'm glad I could convert you... I reallly like Voldemort in the next chapter, so I hope you will, too...

Be My Yaoi: OMG It's flipping brilliant! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you! Hope you'll enjoy the next chapter as well...

AgainAndAgain: I can't tell you how amazing this story is. It's just awesome. I love the interactions betweeen Fenrir and Harry and between Harry and Voldemort and I just love David. And now after your last chapters I fell in love with Lestrange. God he is great. Please write more about him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Write more at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WRITE!!!!!!!!!! WRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did a pretty good job, though ... Rudolphus will be a constant in the story, and I'll also include some more information about his brother and his recovery, so I hope you'll like that... Guess, I'd better post the next chapter soon before you destroy the !-key on your keyboard...

rose: Great story! I really like the interaction between Harry and Fenrir. I love when Harry is spirited and stubborn, and I think it is so funny when he talks back to Voldermort. I have also always had a soft spot for MPreg, especially when it isn't completely silly. I hope that Harry's baby will be born healthy, and I really look forward to the next chapter. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you... I hope you'll like the next chapter, too. Enjoy!

Basic Wants - Chapter 20: More

cynaga: Quite romantic! And surprisingly satisfying...

I guess it is ... Thank you!

lonelyreverance: i can't thank you enough for updating during this trialing time of nano. when all you want is a break you emerge to find that the fanfiction that is worth reading has ground to a hault... this was wonderful. i love this pairing and very few ever try it. can't wait for more

Well, I'm glad you enjoy the story and I hope that I'll be able to update on time from now on... Thank you!

dominique: i so want harry to beable to have his baby that will be sweet it appears that harry needs to change into a wolf before the full moon so the baby can feel back beside in real wolfies they don't hurt their mums

No, but real wolves have a pregnancy time of barely two months and when the little cubs are born they are blind, deaf and toothless. Harry's baby will continue to grow inside his belly like it would on the outside and it will only grow more dangerous...

Jenova625: GAH--I'm loving this a lot!

Geez--can Harry be any more stubborn? >_

I could try to make him even more stubborn, if you'd like

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: Despite the Drama Llamas wandering around, this chapter made me laugh. It's a good balance of the serious discussion that they needed to have, and some lighter moments to keep people reading. Well done.

And yes, you were missed. Good to have you back.

Thank you, that's good to know! And I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I always appreciate laughter...

Althydia: Yay, another chapter! Which I really liked, thank you. Lin got punished and Fenrir's way of making up with Harry was great. He finally had his serious talk with Harry! Harry is still stubborn and insecure, but I think that living and having a baby together, plus sharing this level of intimacy is already more than just sex and friendship... in my opinion anyway. And Fenrir showed an impressive level of maturity while dealing with Harry (he even suggested he use magic!), he seems to be better at controlling his temper too, whereas Harry's hormones seem to be acting up: he seemed to change moods very quickly in this chapter (but maybe I'm seeing too much in this?). By the way, wasn't he supposed to tell his healer about any pains? Bad boy... I guess his next appointment is soon, though (and the others will probably be abe to tell the healer about it if he doesn't)? I also hope that Harry's nausea doesn't stay for the whole pregnancy; he's already not eating much even though he has to feed another body now... (poor Harry - he's going to get thinner instead of fatter!)

I might be tempted to agree with you, but I think Harry's reasoning is that defining their relationship as "sex and friendship" is a whole lot safer than the alternative... Hm, yes, Fenrir suggested magic, but his word choice still reveals his prejudices against wizards... Harry's mood swings, I'm afraid they're only going to get worse, which of course has to do with the pregnancy but also with his own insecurities and fears.... Thanks for the review!

Dark Illusions: i think it was absence that makes the heart grows fonder... but being absent too long isn't good either (so picky! lol) great chapter! so we finally look into Harry's trust issues, was wondering when that might come up. Good lord Fenrir, you and your anger management issues, but i have to say, he is getting better at it.

I just hope that this baby isn't going to be the death of Harry, i don't think that he can have another kid after this one though, with the damage it seems to be doing to his system. (although i don't think he would want another kid anyways, think of all the things he'd have to go through... morning sickness, mood swings, cravings, though the last two will probably be more fenrir's problem than harry's lol) anyways! looking forward to the next chapter^^ update soon!

Hm, you might be right... About time, wasn't it? Though, I was still quite unsure if them actually talking about their issues fit with their personalities...

shellyfish: wow, ich hab grad die story inklusive prequel durch und bin begeistert! nagut, vllt auch in bisschen frustriert, weil harrys und fenrirs beziehung nur sehr schleppend voran geht, aber damit muss ich leben. und grad hab ich gemerkt, dass dein letztes update erst gestern war und ich noch fast ne woche bis zum nächstn kapitel warten muss... verdammt! schreib schön fleißig! und bis bald!

Danke schön! Freut mich, dass dir die Geschichten gefallen und ich kann dich beruhigen, ich find die beiden Sturköpfe manchmal auch recht frustrierend Mal schauen, ob sich das irgendwann legt...

Cathartes: This is a really interesting story, you do a good job of keeping the characters off-balance. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I'm glad you like the story...

Basic Wants - Chapter 19: Education

Althydia: Yay, another chapter!

It was nice to see the pack accept Harry, but damn Harry's misplaced pride, Lin needs to be punished! I do hope that Fenrir will find out and deal with it, also because Harry keeps scolding him about being honest with him, but Harry himself is not really honest with Fenrir - and with a very important thing too. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but I get the feeling that werewolves work on very strict rules and hierarchy (like wolves), and Harry is kinda like the Alpha's mate - his pregnant mate too - so Lin's offense is even bigger and if she's not punished it would go against their rules and disrupt the hierarchy: Lin could think she can get away with it and Fenrir's power would be undermined if he can't deal out a fitting punishment against his mate's aggressor (which is also an offense to him)... Don't know if you agree, but that's how it felt for me. Plus, I don't know how Harry would hide the bruises and pains, and I suppose Lin would have left her scent on Harry, and the pack's hostile reactions to Lin (those who know) would be very big clues... right?

Okay, now that the rant is out of the way: I really liked how Harry was still not ready to completely forgive what Sirius did - it woud have looked very unlogical if he suddenly started to act with Sirius as if nothing happened... And it gives more time to Harry to spend with Remus: their father-son relationship makes me feel all warm and mushy inside!

Also, Fenrir's secret is finally revealed to Harry! And Fenrir's reaction to learning to read and write was just so in character for him - would Harry be more successful in teaching him if he always promised sexual intercourse as a prize? They might both benefit from it too... The other pack members' will to read and write was nice too, and it made Fenrir show his possessive side again! He's even jealous of Remus, what is Harry going to do with him?... But Harry also showed his need for Fenrir's attention at the beginning of the chapter!

Oh and last time I also forgot to mention that I find your take on Harry's pregnancy from Fenrir very original: I don't think I've ever read a story dealing with the negative effects of a werewolf pregnancy like yours does.

Now will the next chapter be back at the castle or still among the pack - or both?...

No, I agree with you that Lin's misdemeanour has consequences for the pack dynamics as well, but Harry isn't used to relying on others and in his mind, what happened between him and Lin should stay between them... But if he'll really be able to keep that a secret is another question...

Oh, I'm sure, Fenrir will find a way to combine his studying with sexual favours

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate my idea of a werewolf pregnancy... Hope you'll like the next chapter!

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: Hee, Harry's mood swings are amusing. As is the dynamic between Fenrir and Harry - instead of the usual D/s relationship, it's constantly changing. I don't think Fen will ever be submissive exactly, but he's learning to do as Harry says. Sometimes.

I've noticed that you do a very good job with the continuity, making sure that the little details add up. So well done - too many good stories are ruined by the details being off.

I don't think Harry will learn to be submissive, either... Thank you, I'll try to connect all the dots...

mrequecky: Wow, loved this update! Teaching Fenrir how to read must be hard enough, bur writing? oh oh

Thanks... Harry certainly has his hands full with his new student...

le: As allways I love it.

I love Fenrirs whole 'growl, Im the big, bad werewolf'

keep up the good work

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy Fenrir's attitude...

Kera-Izaki: Yea~ It' good to see Fen and Harry getting along again! I was begining to worry, with all the fights that've been going on lately! :/ Hope yo able to get up another capter next week.

Thanks,

~Kera

Oh, there'll be more fights to come. That's just the way they work... Sorry, for the long wait!

bloodravyn: gah!

Lin needs to DIE!

But... Don't you think that's a bit drastic?

ShadowCat13: I don't normally read this pairing (unless it's a harry Voldemorts prisoner/slave fic). I'm really glad I took the time to read this though. It was really well done and creative. I never got bored even once with it. I was sad when Harry lost his first child but I understood why it had to happen. I was glad that in the end he's pregnant again

Anyway I really liked it and will likely read all your other's too.

I'm glad too that you gave the story a chance . Thank you for taking the time to review and I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

Winter and Ice

S&M: I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this fic. Not only was it heatwarming and a little heartbreaking but it was also realistic and (surprise!) somewhat canonical. No one was hideously out of character or completely flanderized to the point of being unrecognizable. Their relationship feels real. Like if the books ever followed these sequence of events, this has a strong possibility of being the outcome. I say this because that's what I appreciate about good fanfiction - the ability to still think of something new for the characters without derailing their basic personalities for the plot. I've recently gotten into the Lucius/Harry pairing and your work was a fresh breeze on a still hot day. I truly enjoyed it and I look forward to reading other things you have written.

--S&M--

P.S. I also liked the realistic depiction of the rape of Harry and what that does to your perception of sex and relationships. I liked how it completely unsettled Harry and fractured his sense of self and his already tenuous hold on the world around him, personified by his blindness. Sex is one of the most intimate acts for humans and to have it defiled by the loss of choice screws with your head for more than writers, or just about anyone else who isn't a victim, give it credit. As somewhat of a victim myself, it lifts my spirits to see someone else get it right for once.

Well, I don't know about the characters being in character. Sometimes, I think I lost the red line, but I still appreciate your review! I'm also not sure what to say about your P.S. only that I'm sorry and that I'm glad you enjoyed the story, nonetheless...

jujukitty: very good story, i've thoroughly enjoyed it. and the characters with all their flaws and positives, you did a great job!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Basic Wants - Chapter 18: Knowledge

dominique: love it i still want hary to at least live and have his baby that cool

Thank you. I'm really not a fan of unhappy endings so I don't think that I'll let Harry die...

Killare Bet: Harry should cut Fenrir some slack. He can't seem to do anything right, poor wolfie.

So, are they going to be mates or something? It seems quite more serious than just lovers by now. It'd be Awesome if they were soulmates ;D

Lovely chapter!

Well, I think Harry is a bit on edge right now so he might snap at Fenrir even if Fenrir didn't do anything wrong... I think there's a mention of "mates" in the next chapter, but I think that's just the werewolf equivalent of "partners", just as "pack" is a synonym for "family". It doesn't refer to soulmates... Thank you!

mrequecky: Loved the chap! I wonder, if Harry uses his own magic to do the bubble, he should be fine, right? But the child might see the healer's magic as a foreign danger?

Thank you! Harry's magic will definitely come into play, but Rudolphus will still make himself useful...

Shigure-san: Loving this I look forward to every new chapter and cant wait to see where you take this X3 that sex scene was very steamy I must say! I enjoyed it immensely. And i love the mention of Draco and David again teehee. As well as Harry/fenrir time Just love it all!!!! Cant wait for more

Shigure-san

x chuu x

Thank you! Seems I have you hooked ...

Althydia: Really great chapter! I loved having everyone's reactions on the pregnancy's dangers, and Harry going for it. I really really hope that Harry can keep his baby, so that we can see him and Fenrir as parents (I loved Fenrir's "goodnight stories" to Chetan, by the way - not sure Harry would approve for their baby, though). After all, Harry is quite special and his magic has always protected him so far, so it should help here too, right? And shouldn't Snape and Rodolphus be looking for ways to help (besides the bubble - which made me wonder how they are going to do it, since Fenrir and Remus will probably want to be with Harry at that time)? I can't wait to see the next full moon... And the pregnancy should also have an effect on the pack's reactions to Harry too, as we already saw with Maya.

The sex scene was great too, with feelings showing a bit more between the two lovers... I love Fenrir's protectiveness! Also, well done for managing to include David's date with Draco; will Dobby make an appearance next? (maybe his magic can also help Harry?)

Thank you! Harry's magic will definitely give the solution its only little twist, but Snape and especially Rudolphus will help as well... The pack's reactions will be in the next chapter, hope you'll like... Dobby, hm, I'm not sure. I don't think he'll be in the next few chapters...

DTDY: I really like this story.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear that...

Basic Wants - Chapter 17: Sanity

Kera-Izaki: Nother chapter *do do do dodi do* *happy dance* lol XD And is the paient Rabistion?

I'm glad my updates make you so happy... Good guess.

mithrilandtj: Regulas Black. Sirius' brother

No, not really, but I like the suggestion...

Schan: I'm voting for Frank Longbottom

Thanks, but it's not Frank Longbottom, though that option would have had a lot of potential as well...

Althydia: Just to hazard a guess: is the other patient Regulus Black? And is he going to be important for the plot?

The odds seem to be stacked against Harry keeping the baby... But I'm glad he's waiting to have more information before taking a decision, and that he wants Fenrir's opinion too. In the meantime, Harry's pregnancy seems to make Fenrir even more protective and possessive of him - what does Harry think of that? (although in this chapter he seemed to have a positive reaction to it) And you're right: Harry is rather moody - pregnant or not. And rude with Voldemort (that's funny too). Also, I hadn't expected a Lestrange as the healer chosen for Harry, but it seemed logical to involve Severus. His interactions with Harry's 'crew' should be interesting too...

Thank you for the fast coming chapters, and I can't wait to read the next one!

No, it isn't. And important for the plot? I'm not really sure yet, but I don't think it will develop into more than a little side-story... Yes, Harry wants Fenrir's opinion, but what he will do with it is quite another question... I think a part of Harry will always be happy about Fenrir's protectiveness and even his possessiveness because it means that Fenrir cares (even if Harry finds that hard to accept), but I also think that he won't be able to tolerate it for long before his wish for independence and self-reliance gets in the way... Thank you for reviewing!

Evil Cliffhanger Lady: Woot, more!

Not gonna guess who the patient is, since I haven't actually finished the sixth book or read the seventh. *shrug* I didn't like 'em, so stopped reading. Liking this fic more than the actual canon from around book five.

I'm guessing that Harry's gonna keep the kid. His family instincts are just too strong to choose to kill it. And now I'm thinking of a teenage girl bringing her boyfriend home:

"This is my Dad, Harry Potter, the Saviour and all that. This is my other Dad, Fenrir Greyback, werewolf alpha and all-round monster. This is my Grandfather, Dark Lord Voldemort. And this... wait, where'd he go?"

"Your boyfriend ran away in terror, sweetie."

"Damn. Lost another one."

Hee. At any rate, still enjoying immensely.

I didn't much like the sixth book, but the seventh book, while not my favourite, wasn't bad. Still, I only read them once so I don't know them all that well and tend to ignore them :-). This story is AU after the fifth book as well... Thanks for reviewing and that nice little scene...

dragonstar01: Totally looking forward to see how Rudolphus develops

Thank you, hope you'll like it...

mrequecky: Hm, I'd guess it's Rabastan, I could see Rudolphus taking care of his little brother Hence, the specialisation into mind illnesses.

I loved the chapter, like totally looooved!

Good guess, very good indeed... Thank you!

Shigure-san: Another great chapter I'm so intrigued, I'm lost in your story to the point where when I get to the end of the chapter I'm like nuuuuuuu lol. More more! encore! XD

Cant wait to see the Henrir puppy lol XD xxx

Thank you! :-D Hope you'll like the next chapter, but you'll have to wait a bit longer until you get to meet Fenrir and Harry's child...

Quik2Anger: Ooh Ooh Ooh! I bet it's his brother Rabastran. Ha! slash-y incest! Yay!

Yes, it's Rabastan, though I didn't really mean to imply an incestous relationship... Oops...

NickyNakole: My guess is that it is Regulus Black! Sirius' little brother! I might be wrong but lets see. I am in love with this story! Poor Harry having to deal with having a little Were growing in him and all the drama surrounding him.

Nope, it's not... Thank you! But drama makes the story more interesting, don't you think?
