This is a Herculean Thing

Italic means thinking

Chapter 3

Jacob looked around the cafeteria impatiently. His brown eyes were searching for a familiar cute black-haired boy. He tapped his foot on the floor, earning an annoyed look from his friends. He couldn't wait to grab Harry and forced him to sit next to him at lunch. He knew Harry didn't promise him that but who knew?

"Stop it, Jacob! What's wrong with you? You look anxious" Paul said, annoyed. Jacob ignored him and continued looking around. Where is he? Harry, where are you?

"He's waiting for someone" Embry said cheekily.

"Who is it?" Paul asked interested.

"It's one of the new students. Harry Potter, his imprint" Quil answered while Embry nodded his head. Paul blinked.

"Harry Potter? You imprinted on a boy, Jake? How?" He asked, making a face. Jacob srugghed. He also had no idea why he imprinted on a boy.

Embry and Quil laughed at his reaction before slapped Jacob hard on his back, telling him to ignore him. Suddenly the usually crowded cafeteria went silent. The students' eyes were set on the doorway. A tall blonde haired boy was walking gracefully into the silent cafeteria. He was dressed in all black formal clothes. He pompously sneered as his sharp grey eyes scanned the cafeteria. He walked to an empty table, put his black bag on the table and pulled out a small book.

Jacob looked at the boy in awe. Never in his life had he seen someone like him. Sure, the Cullen was beautiful and graceful because they were vampire but this HUMAN boy wasn't only beautiful and graceful. He had an aristocrat aura like around him that made everyone around him felt a pull toward him in many different ways. If the Cullen attracted awe and jealousy, the boy attracted more. Jacob could see dreamy looks on the girls' face, jealousy on popular boys' face, curiosity on the nerds' face and fear on outcasts' face.

"Wow, is that another new student?" Quil asked.

"Jake, look that's Harry" Embry said, nudging the larger boy who still staring at the newcomer.

Jacob's head turned from the blonde haired boy and he saw Harry and Hermione walked into the room, conversing softly yet rapidly in their English accent; they also muttered some Latin words Jacob didn't know. Harry was holding a thick book in his hand, obviously not one of school book since Jacob didn't remember they used that kind of book. Jacob watched as they walked to where the blonde boy sat. Hermione sat beside the boy while Harry sat across him. The boy looked up when Hermione put the book in front of him and opened a certain page for him, obviously asking him to read it.

"What do you think they're talking about? And which one is your imprint, Jake?" Paul asked, eyeing the new students.

"My imprint is the black haired one"

"He's cute for a guy. I'm just saying, Jake!" Paul said and threw up his hands when Jacob growled and glared at him.

Harry sighed as he took out a thermos of tea from his bag. He looked at Draco who was reading a book Hermione had brought from home. It was a tick book full with mythical creatures. Hermione had found out that according to the book, there was an old magic in America.

"Look here Draco. A wizard, Dolphin Nolan, did a research in America many years ago. He was walking through the wood in a certain place in Washington and found something. For some reason, he didn't say the name of place or town but he said that he met some important people, like some elders, and he figured something unusual about them. He casted some verbal spell and felt they had magic in their blood yet they weren't a wizard. His suspicious was proven when he, with his own eyes, saw they performed some ancient magic in the middle of forest. He didn't say what kind of magic it was since he said that he didn't want to tell the whole wizard society about a secret that wasn't his place to tell. Many wizards or witches didn't believe him, even the Ministry of Magic said himself, because they thought that Mr. Nolan jus trying to gain some popularity by saying those thing. The way he didn't tell what kind of magic it was, proved that he lied." Hermione said, reading the book in front of Draco.

"What are going to do with this?" Draco asked uninterested.

"Draco, we're in Washington right now. What if what Dolphin said was true? That there is some kind of magic here. Magic doesn't have to be a wizard or witch." Hermione said.

"Washington isn't a small town and wood is everywhere here, Hermione. Even if the book was true, what are we going to do with this? Magic is every where; even some wizards don't realize it. So, what's the problem?" Draco asked. Hermione huffed.

"Yes, magic is everywhere, Draco, that means the ancient magic Dolphin means can be here. What we don't know is, is this ancient magic will harm us or not! Does this ancient magic has something that we, wizard and witches, shouldn't cross it? If it does, what will happen if we cross it? Hell, how do we know what kind of ancient magic it is?" Hermione asked panicked. Both Draco and Harry rolled their eyes. Hermione was always been the first one to panic in everything.

"Why don't we use the verbal spell those Dolphin guy used? Do you know any?" Draco asked. Hermione pulled out a book from her back. Harry leaning down to take a good look of the book 'Powerful Ancient Spells'

"How did you get that?" Harry asked, amazed. It was a rare book, Even Harry, who didn't like reading, knew that, and one hundred percent you wouldn't find it in Hogwarts library.

"Malfoy Library" She stated simply before turning some pages of the book.

"What?" Both young wizards exclaimed in surprised. Harry looked at Draco who shrugged his shoulders, telling him that he didn't know how Hermione got that book. There was high percentage that Narcissa Malfoy was behind it. She adored Hermione's brain and temper. Harry shook his head.

Harry looked around the cafeteria, trying to ignore Hermione and Draco who were bickering about some spells in the book. Harry didn't really know some kinds of ancient spell so it was pointless to listen to them. Once they found something, they woul tell him anyway. Harry turned his attention to his new school cafeteria. Harry's green eyes swept the rather large room. He noticed many students were glancing at their table once a while, especially the girls. They were either glancing in awe of Draco or glaring at Hermione, obviously in jealousy. His eyes found Jacob and his friends. Jacob was staring at him while his friends were eating like a pig; they awfully reminded him of Ron.

Jacob smiled when Harry's eyes found his table. He waved at him and grinned when he saw Harry waved back. Both of them were staring at each other with a stupid smile on their face for minutes. Jacob chuckled when Harry was wacked on the head by his blonde friend. He watched in amusement when Harry turned to his friend and gave him a death glare that didn't affect the blonde one bit.

"Potter, I asked you a question! Where did you give your attention to?" Draco hissed. Harry glared at him, rubbing his head.

"I was just observing the cafeteria." Harry said, trying to defend him self. Draco snorted.

"Really? Observing the cafeteria or staring at some student" Draco said, grabbing Harry's bottle and drink its content. Draco raised an eyebrow when Harry's pale face flushed.

"Who were you staring at, Potter?" Harry glanced at Jacob secretly but he quickly shook his head. Too bad, Draco noticed it.

"The big tan skinned guy, I assume. The one who was staring at you right now, well from the start you sat here actually. Who is he? Your new crush?" Draco asked teasingly. Hermione rolled her eyes and slapped his arm.

"Who is he, Harry?"

"Um, his name is Jacob Black. He sat beside me in English and actually he and his friend invited me to sit with them at lunch" Harry said.

"That's so kind of him" Hermione said with a smile on her face. Draco smirked at him.

"What?" Harry snapped. Draco's smirked got wider but he didn't say anything. He turned his grey eyes to the boy named Jacob Black. Bblack, huh? Hoped he wasn't a distant relative of him.

Jacob saw the blonde guy suddenly stared at him. He felt uncomfortable. He felt like those eyes were looking right into his soul. He tore his gaze to his untouched lunch and began to eat some, trying to ignore the gaze. He occasionally looked up and found the boy still looking at him with his stoic face and harp eyes.

"That boy's gaze is frightening" Jacob head Embry muttered.

"Tell me about it"

Harry was leaning on Draco's car as he waited for his friends. He didn't have a class with them for the last periods. He looked at his watch and noticed it had been ten minutes since the bell rang but Draco and Hermione didn't show their nose.

"Hey" Harry looked up and met a handsome face that belonged to Jacob Black. Harry felt his heart beat went faster when Jacob smiled at him. 'Think of Ginny, Harry. Besides he's a guy and you're a guy too! You CAN'T have a crush on him! Come on! Focus!'

"Hi, Jacob"

"What are you doing here?" Jacob asked, trying not to look excited for being able to talk to him.

"I am waiting for my friends. Only God knows why they took so long." Harry said. Jacob nodded his head. His eyes moved to the silver expensive car when Harry leaned on.

"Some car you have there."

"Oh, this isn't my car. This is Draco's"

"Draco? Is he the one with blonde hair and grey eyes? He was staring at me coldly during lunch. It's, um, quiet uncomfortable." Jacob said nervously. Harry laughed.

"Yes, he is. Don't worry, Draco's like that. He has a habit to make people uncomfortable with his stare and of course his tongue. He has very sharp tongue so if he said something hurtful, just ignore him." Harry said.

"Where're your friends?" Jacob shrughed.

"Don't know. I don't have the last period with them." 'And I'm glad cause I can talk to you now... Yyeessss!'

"Jake!" 'Shit!' Jaco turned his head and sent a death glare to his friends who were grinning madly at them.

Embry, Quil, Jared and Paul were walking and talking about Jacob and his imprint when they spotted both of them in parking lot. Embry gave his friends a mischievous smile before skipping to the obvious couple-to-be. He grinned when Jacob sent his famouse Beta glare when Quil called his name. Embry slunged his arm around Jacob's shoulder and grinned at the British boy.

"Hi, remember me?" Embry wriggled his eyebrows. Harry gave him a small smile.

"Yes, you're Embry and that's Quil" he said, recalling the two familiar almost Weasley twins like.

"You're right, buddy. This is Paul." Paul smirked at him. Harry nodded at him.

"Harry!" Hermione ran happily to her friend. Once she got the she shove a paper into him. Harry looked confused before he took a good look at it. His eyes widen when he saw it. It was Hermione's essay and a big A was on it.

"My teacher give us fifteen minutes to make an essay and while he read them we had to read some page in the book. When the doorbell rang, she gave me back my paper and said that it was the best essay." Hermione said happily.

"Congrats Mione, that's good." Hermione continued to beam at him before she noticed some unfamiliar boys.

"Oh hello, My name's Hermione Granger" She greeted and offered her hand.

"Jacob Black. These are Embry, Quil, and Paul" Jacob shook her hand and pointed the other three behind him. Embry and Quil gave her a polite wave while Paul stept forward and gave her a flirtatious smile.

"I am Paul" Harry raised an eyebrow when he saw Hermione smiled flirtatiously back. She bit her lips and nodded at him.

"If you need some tour, you can call me anytime. For a pretty girl like you, it's free" Paul said. He was about to slung his arm around Hermione's shoulder when a hand grabbed his wrist. Paul turned around and his brown eyes met a pair of cold blue-grey eyes. Harry pressed his lips together when he saw Draco stood behind Paul.

"She doesn't need one, thank you" Draco said, walking to Hermione and wrapped his arm around her waist, telling the boys that she was mine. Paul did a step back when Draco glared at him. Harry shook his head in amusement when Hermione winked at him. 'That witch!'

"..Umm Draco, this is Jacob Black and his friends. That's Embry, Quil and Paul" Harry introduced. Draco glared at Paul before looked at Quil and Embry before set his eyes on Jacob.

"Black, huh? Any British relative?"

"Uh, No. I don't have any relative in Britain." Jacob said, confused. Draco nodded at him and looked at Jacob from head to toe before turned to his car.

"Let's go" Draco said, opening the door for Hermione before walked to the side of the car and sat on driver seat. Harry looked at the car for a moment before turned to Jacob and gave him an apologic smile.

"Bye Jacob" He said before opened the passager door.

"Harry!"Jacob called. Harry turned around. Jacob clear his throath and shove his hands into his pocket. Harry raised an eyebrow as he looked at the nervous boy in front of him.

"You're new here so... I thought um.. it will be good idea if I can give you, you know, a tour. You know, there's a beach in La Push." Jacob said dumbly. He glared at Embry and co who were snickering behind him.

"Well?"

Harry bit his lip and glanced at the car. Hermione had the window down and staring up at him with a smile on her face. Harry glanced at Draco who was smirking. Although he didn't looked at Harry directly, Harry knew that smirk was for him, well maybe for Jacob's invitation.

"I can't go anywhere today." Harry said. He suddenly fell guilty when he saw Jacob's face fell.

"But I think I can tomorrow" Harry added. He smiled when Jacob's face changed like a kid who had given a bunch of candy.

"Good. We can go together after school finishes." Jacob said excitedly.

"Cool. Well, bye then" Harry got into the car.

"Bye" Jacob smiled, watching the silver car left the parking lot and disssapeared at the corner.

"Ron!" Harry threw his bag onto the sofa when he spotted his best friend was sitting in living room with Teddy, whose hair was red, on his lap. Ron smiled, putting Teddy on the sofa before pulled his best friend into a hug. He moved to Hermione, who was smiling widely, before gave Draco a hand shake.

"Hawwy" a small voice said excitedly. Harry turned to Teddy, whose his hair now was black like him, and lift him up. He kissed both of his cheek and smiled when Teddy giggled.

"Harry!"Andromeda appeared into the living room, walked to him and gave him a big hug before moved to her nephew and his girlfriend.

"I just finished cooking for lunch. Come on" She said. The young wizads and witch followed the woman into the dinning table. Harry sat beside Ron with Teddy on his laps while Draco, Hermione and Andromeda sat across them.

"Hary, are you sure you can handle Teddy?" Andromeda asked, worried. Harry smiled.

"Yes, I am. I ant to take care of him. He's my Godson after all, it's my responsibility to take care of him after Dora and Lupin passed away" he said.

"If you sure, but I will visit you once a week okay." Harry nodded and smiled.

"So, how's Muggle school?" Ron asked. Like his father, he began to fond of Muggle.

"It's nice. I managed to gain some friends too." Harry said. Ron looked at him and raised an eyebrow, expecting Harry to tell who his new friends were.

"Yes, a very nice friend. Jacob and friends." Hermione said slyly.

"Jacob?"

"Yeah. You know, Ron? Harry has a date with him tomorrow" Draco said, smirking. Andromeda almost choked on her food.

"WHAT?" Ron mouth hang opened and he turned to Harry, whose face as red as tomato and red apple combined. He was glaring at Draco who was smirking annoyedly at him.

"Hawwy deit?"
