Chapter 1: The Dying Wolf, the Headmaster, and the Minister

Hello and welcome to the official start of the story! These first few chapters will deal with Ichigo having to move to either Privet Drive and have him introduce Harry to the wizarding world, becoming like a confidant to Harry, or next to Hermione and have him take her to Diagon Alley. I'll probably go with Harry since I can have Ichigo deal with the Dursley's and Dobby in Year 2.

Also Ichigo will complete the first year of class work and take the finals before winter break and then take the second year finals when he was supposed to have taken the first year ones. This will repeat for the third and fourth year finals. He will take two sets of O.W.L.s at the same points in time during what would be Harry's third year. He will take two sets of N.E.W.T.s the first in his fourth year and the second in his fifth. After that he will graduate. As for after that I got no idea yet.

This will likely be the last chapter with a title since I suck at those. Now to the story.

================================================================

"So, you really plan for him to attend that school from all those years ago, huh," asked a woman. This woman was beautiful. She looked to be in her early twenties, has long raven-black hair, a lean and fit build, and odd but enchanting silver eyes. She is the Wolf Queen, the Mother Wolf, Lupa.

"Yes, I do Lupa. We both know I don't have long to live and he is the hope for our peoples future. The Ministry may not have been willing to publicize the truth all those years ago but, with our numbers soon to drop to two, I believe we can force them to accept the truth. Luckily we have Dumbledore's support and the current Minister, Fudge, is a coward. At most all I'll have to do is pay a little money and make a couple threats," said a man who looked to be in his mid twenties. He has shoulder-length black hair with streaks of gray, a large muscular frame, and black eyes. He would have been very handsome if not for his pale and sickly complexion. This man is the Wolf King, the Hell Wolf, Lycaon.

"I still don't like this. I don't trust the Ministry, especially since they are still recovering from their war. The Minister is a coward like you said, but he is also incompetent and corrupt. And it's not just him, the previous Minister was as well. He let people who were guilty of some serious crimes like mass murder, torture, and terrorism go for a tiny bit of money and information on some of their low level allies. To make things worse some of them now hold positions of power like that Lucius slime ball. Then there is the Pink Terror, Dolores Umbridge. Honestly I bet the only reason she didn't become a Death Eater during the war was because they wouldn't let her turn her outfit pink since it would give away her identity and make her easier to spot and kill. With her despising all magical creatures you have to make sure she isn't in the room with you when you and Dumbledore go see that paranoid fool."

"Yes, I know. It was her ancestors that made the Ministry deny that lycans are different than lycanthropes along with the Malfoy's, Black's, and Lestrange's. I'm not stupid enough to trust any of those families. That's why I had Dumbledore arrange the meeting with Fudge. You stay here to help Ichigo train and get ready to move to London."

"Fine I'll trust you on this matter. By the way, where in London will Ichigo be living? You know I plan to travel around the world. I hate staying in one spot for too long and Ichigo is more than capable of taking care of himself since lycans mature faster than humans. Though I will return for his coming of age hunt, though he will need to take three or four days off school during his second year. Luckily the Wolf Moon in '93 will be on a Friday but the hunt is a three day ceremony and he will need to return on Sunday or Monday."

"I don't know yet. Dumbledore said he would help arrange things. I also have to go to Gringotts to arrange a trust vault for Ichigo and set down the conditions for inheritance while I'm in London."

"Oh? What are the conditions you plan to set?"

"I'm going to set it so that he needs to achieve a balance of his two natures, become a true alpha, and graduate from Hogwarts. The first condition should be achieved pretty soon at the rate he is going, all he really needs is a catalyst that will trigger the change. As for becoming a true alpha, we have both seen the flashes of red in his eyes during training. He is just far too young and hasn't experienced a dangerous enough situation to make the change permanent. He should have no trouble graduating from Hogwarts, the boy is too smart for his own good."

"Okay that seems good. Now remind me why do you have to go through Fudge to get Ichigo into the school, shouldn't that fall under Dumbledore?"

"Because of his position. He may be a shity Minister, but he does have his uses. By demonstrating and explaining the difference between the two types of werewolves, giving the partial cure for lycanthropy we recently discovered, and probably paying a bit of money, we can get recognized as a type of natural animagus or something like a metamorphmagus and lycanthropes as ill instead of monsters. At least that's what I hope will happen."

"…"

================================================================

In the Minister's office

Lycaon and Dumbledore are there waiting for Fudge to return. Lycaon just spent an hour explaining the history of werewolves and another explaining the difference between the two types. He even demonstrated that he can control the transformation. When he did it scared the Minister into pissing himself, so he excused himself to go change. Fudge returns and sits down in a new chair he brought with him.

"So what is it that you would like Mr. Lyacaon? I doubt you just came here to give me a lesson on the History of Magic and Care for magical creatures."

"True. I will be having one the last lycan to be born, one of three still alive, including myself, attend Hogwarts and don't want any trouble with the less honorable members of your society. So I came here to help this boy and, in a way, help you." Lycaon makes his offer and the potion for lycanthropy intrigues him.

"About this potion for lycanthropy you mentioned, why did you say it was only a partial cure?"

"It is only a partial cure since it can only cure those who have yet to shift for the first time. But it does have an affect on those who have as well. For those who have shifted before the potion has two affects. The first is basically the same as the wolfsbane potion that lets a lycanthrope maintain their sanity when transformed, but this is permanent thus only requiring a single dose rather than one a month. The second effect is that it makes it so their bites and scratches no longer infect others with the disease so it can't be spread."

"And you have confirmed these findings?"

"I did so personally," interrupted Dumbledore. "I volunteered and allowed a lycanthrope friend of mine bite me then I consumed the potion. He also took the potion. I didn't transform and he remained in control of himself and even felt like he had more control than when he used the wolfsbane potion. About five minuets before the sun rose I had him bite me again and I didn't start to transform. To be sure I waited till the next full moon without taking the potion. The result was that I didn't transform. Of course I had several people watch this experiment and this contains all the evidence that you need to confirm since several of them are from the Ministry," he says while handing Fudge several thick files.

"Hmm"

"I know what your thinking Fudge. You believe this is an attempt for Dumbledore to take your position and thus you want to cover this up. However if you do I will take it to the Magical Congress back in the states and have them publicize that you tried to cover this up out of fear that Dumbledore, who has shown no interest in your position, would force you out. If I do that the there is no way you would be able to keep your position and would be forced out anyways," Lycaon says. "Plus I'm the only one with the formula. So if you want it to be released and keep your position you will agree to my terms. Hell you will even get some money and since Dumbledore will only be credited with helping in verifying the potions effects he can't use it to take your position anyways. As for me, I only have a few weeks left to live and even if I wasn't dying I wouldn't want your position. I can't sit still as long as you and I would probably kill many of the arrogant morons you have to deal with."

"Haaah, your right. This is something I can't afford to cover up. So let's get down to the negotiations."

After another three hours the negotiations finished and a week later certain changes were approved by the Ministry. These changes are as follows:

1. Lycans were recognized as a type of witch or wizard with the ability to take on wolf-like traits and features. They are forced to transform during the full moon but maintain their reason and are not monster. In rare cases they can turn into actual wolves and are unaffected by the moon. People can become lycans through a secret method not revealed to the Ministry.

2. Lycanthropes are now considered ill unless treated while lycanthropy is treated in a way similar to rabies. The potion Lycaon gave the Ministry was spread throughout the magical world.

================================================================

Diagon Alley

One month after these changes Lupa could be seen walking into Ollivander's with two boxes.

"Hello miss, how can I help you?"

"Are you Ollivander?"

"Yes I am."

"I'm here to have a wand made for someone. While a normal wand would be fine, I believe one made with these materials will be best for him."

"Oh? What are the materials?"

Lupa puts the two boxes on the table and opens them. One has a bone and the other a lock of raven-black hair.

"The bone is my late husbands femur and the hair is my own. As for the reason why I want you to use these materials, it is because my husband was the first lycan and I the first to be capable of actually turning into a wolf. Because of this a wand made from these will be very powerful in the hands of a lycan. Lycans have made wands like this before, taking a bone from an ancestor on their father's side and hair from one on their mother's side. Only a lycan can use these wands and only they can bring out a lycans true power."

"Hmm, I don't like it but I will take the request. It will be 21 Galleons since this is a custom job instead of a normal purchase though. It should take about two weeks to make the wand."

"That is understandable. I will return in two weeks to pick it up," she says while putting 10 Galleons on the counter. "I'll pay the rest when I return."

"That's fine."

Lupa walks away. "Now time to get back and help Ichigo get his stuff moved."
