Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Twilight.

AN: I've redone this chapter and will be redoing the story as a whole, because I read through what I wrote before, and I've matured at least a little as a writer since then, and I didn't quite like how I did some of the things. So here it is, Merry Almost Christmas! 12/21/2011

Harry POV

Harry stared down at the graves in front of him. It seemed like just a short time ago that his friends had been with him in the Gryffindor Common Room, studying for exams or playing exploding snap. Now though they lay buried in the cold earth in front of him. Nothing left to remember them by, but his memories, a few measly pictures, and a headstone.

He would be turning seventeen this summer, but there wouldn't be the usual celebration with the Weasley family. The war had taken their lives, every single last one, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna, the list of the dead seemed endless. He was just lucky that Sirius and Remus had survived, though Remus still had a slight limp courtesy of a cutting curse sent his way by Lucius Malfoy.

The last year seemed almost unreal. Dumbledore had died at the end of Harry's fifth year, protecting the school from a Death Eater attack. From there the school was given over to the Death Eaters, the Ministry had been taken soon after. Harry and his friends had spent the last year looking for the Horcruxes, spread out as they were throughout Britain. Remus and Sirius had trained them on the run, They could all have probably passed their Mastery tests in Defense and Transfiguration, and taken the N.E.W.T.'s and passed with flying colors for most of the other subjects.

After Neville and Luna had died when a group of Snatchers found their hiding place, they started to learn physical defense as well, so that they could protect themselves even without their wands. They missed Bill and Fleur's wedding, but the Death Eaters had not, kidnapping and torturing all the attendees that didn't die in the cross-fire of the initial fight. The British Wizarding World was devastated after the Final Battle on the Grounds of Hogwarts, not even 2 months ago.

The people rejoiced over the death of Voldemort by Harry's hands but were so fearful of another Dark Lord rising in his place and gaining followers that they'd re-inacted all the old Magical Creature restrictions. Made them even worse if that was possible. The sway he might have had as the Boy-Who-Lived-to-Defeat-He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, was nearly gone as people decided that they didn't need a hero after the evil was gone.

That was why the three of them: Remus, Sirius, and Harry himself, were going to move out of the country as soon as they could. They'd decided on Forks Washington, a small town in America where hopefully nothing interesting would happen for a while allowing them all to recover. Sirius was already there fixing up an old Black property in the forest near the town. They would hopefully be moving in, in the next few days. Harry had managed to get caught up with his Muggle education in the past month, with a lot of help from Pepper-Up Potions and Learning Aide spells, He had decided to finish Muggle High School once they knew that they would be leaving the magical world as much as the feasibly could with Remus's condition.

Harry's head snapped up and he looked behind him as he heard the soft footfalls of someone approaching the cemetery. Remus held up his hands placatingly,

"Relax Pup it's just me, Are you ready to go?" he asked quietly.

Harry stole one last look at the snow-covered graves, Spring was right around the corner. It was late January and the final battle had been fought towards the end of November. Maybe he would come back in the spring, bring some flowers to place on the graves when they wouldn't freeze.

"Goodbye." He whispered sadly, before turning and looking at Remus,

"Yeah I think I'm ready. Let's just go." Remus nodded and the two made their way out of the snowy cemetery and past the church before Remus apparated them back to the Leaky Cauldron.

Edward POV

Edward looked up curiously as Alice practically danced into the room.

"School is going to be sooo much fun on Monday!" she announced gaining curious looks from the whole family.

"And why would that be Alice dear?" Asked Esme from her position on the couch by Carlisle. Alice grinned,

"Because we're getting a new student! They're moving in Saturday, they'll be living in that old mansion near the La Push border." Rosalie looked at her,

"And a new student is fun how?" She asked sarcastically, "All the human's will just fawn over them and be even more annoying than usual." She muttered. Alice rolled her eyes,

"Trust me Rose. You'll like him. And not in that way!" She added hastily when she saw Emmett narrowing his eyes dangerously at the possible threat.

Edward just shook his head amusedly and turned back to his piano. He'd been trying to write a song for a few months now but the write notes and sounds just wouldn't come to him. It was like he was missing something. He snorted mentally at himself, yeah he was missing a mate. He knew that one day he would find him or her, and everything would be great, but until then? Well sometimes it was rather depressing to see what his family all had, the happiness and completeness that he could never attain without his mate.

He didn't see the rest of the family looking at him with pity, though he heard it in their thoughts. He also didn't see Alice's hopeful smile as she looked at him. "It'll be alright Edward, don't worry." She thought to herself, only smirking when he turned to look at her questioningly.

AN: The next chapter should follow this pretty soon, and I'll be reworking it a bit over break, after that though I can't promise at all frequent updates. Next chapter: The move, and Harry meets the pack.
