He knew his father and his uncles were up to something the entire summer. They've been quiet and going appearing somewhere, Remus often taking Percy with him, and whenever they came back his father had been in a bad mood, often leaving for the training room as soon as they were back and the one time Harry peaked, saw that most of the machines there were destroyed and there was water dripping all over the place.

It wasn't often that Percy has ever gotten mad, especially enough to lose control over his powers like that, so Harry was worried for his father and couldn't figure out the right time to ever talk to Remus or Sirius about what has his father so pissed off.

Instead, he had taken the solitude of flying for what it was worth through the cold brisk morning to the slightly hotter mid-day back to the brisk that was nightfall. Spade loved it, he loved flying for hours with no seeming destination. His sister, Selene, who was born nearly two and a half years ago, was right there beside him.

Her catch was just like her mother's. All white and seemed to sparkle under the moonlight. Which is how she got the name, Selene, after the titan of the moon and the friend of Percy's who sacrificed her life for the Ares Cabin to fight in the Titan War.

Also right beside them was Lunar, who was enjoying flying in her natural large length. Since their house was so far from the population, anytime Harry was home was one of the few times Lunar could really enjoy her proper length. Regina often follows suit and generally hunts in the forest behind the Werewolf camp before returning home to watch over Harry.

"We should head back," Regina said through the familiar bond that they have.

"I don't want to," Harry said out loud as he calmly petted Spade's neck and leaned his head forward to rest against Spade's hair that draped along his neck and flowed behind him as the wind glided through his winged feathers.

"Something doesn't feel right," Regina warned through their bond and formed on his forearm. Unlike Lunar and Harry, Regina absolutely hated heights. Something about snakes not having ever been supposed to be off the ground.

Now concerned since Regina willingly formed herself, Harry sighed. "Alright, Spade, come on, let's go back home," Harry said as he stiffed the anger inside his chest.

Ever since the return of Grindelwald, no one seemed to be telling him anything. His father was always angry and always looked like he wanted to say something but it was like something or someone was willing him not to. Remus always seemed to have that apologetic guilt on his face and Sirius seemed like he was in the middle of a fight he didn't want to be in. No one was telling him anything and Draco isn't remotely part of whatever is going on because apparently the place that his father and uncles are going, they don't trust him. Neville wasn't even invited though his friend did admit in a letter that it was because his grandmother didn't wish to join whatever the place they're going.

Luna didn't even know where they were going but admitted her father had taken to muttering to himself in his office about some type of pros and cons but wouldn't tell her anything. All in all, no one was telling him or his friends anything useful. The one person that might is somehow bewitched and he's not supposed to do magic outside of Hogwarts.

Ever since the tournament where Ollivander outed his second wand, Harry's been feeling stifled with his magic as it had no natural way of release. It was one of the reasons he got a second wand from Knockturn Alley, so he could use magic outside of Hogwarts. And since the Ministry has gotten their panties in a twist, they didn't believe him about Grindelwald and has been keeping a closer eye on the magic at the household. Any magic that wasn't Sirius' or Remus' and he got a notice for underage magic. Which meant Lou wasn't even coming over because she didn't want the Ministry knowing about her.
