and stephen dante strange!
You guys were a big help, and though I still am having a bit of writers block, I posted this chapter for y'all!
Please review and let me know what you think! Just do it nicely! My momma always says, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say it at all. So while I respect nice, constructive criticism, if you're going to be rude then just please save your words! I've seen so many rude comments on the site and its sad. This is a site where you can let your own imagination run wild in the worlds that we love. We right what we truly feel and it is such a let down when someone gets on and just rips your hopes for your story into pieces. So remember, even though we are on the internet your words can still hurt people!
Sorry about that ramble! But I truly do hope y'all enjoy this! Have an awesome day!
Hermione smiled at Esme opened the door to their house and let her and Teddy inside.
"Hermione it is lovely to see you. I'm the only one home right now. Carlisle is at work and once Edward mentioned that you and Teddy were coming over everyone seemed to decide that a grocery trip was needed."
Hermione laughed as she adjusted Teddy on her hip and walked into the Cullen home. "They didn't need to do that. I brought a few snacks for Teddy and I'm not particularly hungry."
Esme smiled, "Well Edward just wants to make sure you both are taken care of."
Hermione shook her head with a small smile, "And I appreciate it, truly."
Esme guided Hermione and Teddy into the living room, "How was school today? Is Charlie doing well? And your friend? George?"
Hermione sat Teddy onto the floor and pulled out a few of his toys, "Charlie is doing great. He and George both have been spending a lot of time at the Clearwater house. Of course George is keeping up with witch-sitting me, but he has been spending a lot of time with the wolves when he can. I think he likes the she-wolf, Leah?"
Esme smiled and sat beside Hermione on the couch and watched Teddy play with his toys. "I'm so happy that you still bring him around. It's is nice watching Teddy. He is an amazing child."
"He is a special child, and very smart too. I think a few people back home thought he would have a hard time blending in with the muggles, but he does so well. He still loves to change himself, but it's mostly in the privacy of Charlie's house. He seems to know that he's not supposed to let anyone see him."
"You know, you can let your glamours down here. No one visits so you will be fine."
Hermione sighed and took her glamours and took her ring off, "Thank you Esme." Hermiones accent coming through. "I didn't want to just assume that you would be okay with it. I know it's been a few months but you were all used to me looking like Isabella."
Esme leaned over and gave her a hug, "You don't have to hide who you are from us. You're family and we would never want you to hold yourself back in the privacy of our home."
Hermione sighed happily and leaned back in the seat, "It feels like to be able to be myself." Hermione laughed, "Sometimes I wonder if I'll forget what I actually look like."
Esme laughed, "You would never forget your own appearance."
"I know, it's just harder than I thought. We were on the run before, but we were cut off from other people. No need to hide what we looked like to try to blend in. It's been a new experience and I'm about ready for it to be over."
Esme patted her shoulder, "I'm sure that they will find Bellatrix and Greyback soon. Then you can go back to looking like the beautiful young woman that you are."
Hermione blushed but was cut off from saying anything when the front door opened and the Cullen 'children' walked in. Hermione shot Esme an amused look, but she just shrugged with a smile.
"Hermione!" Alice squealed, dancing into the living room.
"Hello Alice," Hermione said as Alice gave her a big hug, well as big as she could without harming her. Hermione laughed as Emmett, Jasper and Edward walked through the door, arms filled with bags, with Rosalie walking behind them. "Who did you think you would be feeding? The wolves?"
Esme laughed and followed the boys into the kitchen as Rosalie grimaced, "Of course we wouldn't be feeding the wolves. But we bought a wide range of foods so you can have anything you want for dinner."
"Thank you, Rosalie."
Rosalie rolled her eyes and gave Hermione a small hug, "How many times will I have to tell you that you can call me Rose."
"Fine. Rose."
Rosalie smiled and picked up Teddy from the floor. He giggled, "Rose!"
Her smile only seemed to widen and she carefully spun him around.
Hermione watched them with a soft smile from the couch as Edward walked over and sat on the couch next to her, "You seem to brighten up when you're watching him play."
Hermione leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed, "After the war, when Andromeda got sick, we all knew that Harry would be getting custody of Teddy and that he would be coming to stay with us. Harry and I stayed at the Burrow with Ron and his family and Mrs. Weasley quickly welcomed Teddy into the family. The war had just ended three months previously and I had just found out my parents had been murdered. I mostly shut myself into Ginnys room during the day, only talking her, Mrs. Weasley, Harry or Ron. But then one day, Harry and Ron had to go to Auror training and everyone else was to busy to watch Teddy for him, so I volunteered. That was the first day I had laughed after hearing about my parents.
"Teddy became my beacon of hope and when Harry saw what a positive influence Teddy was on me he asked if I would like custody of him, me being named godmother. At first I was frightened, babysitting a child was one thing, but him being my own? I was terrified. But Mrs. Weasley sat me down one morning before anyone had woken up for the day and we just talked. A week later I had full custody of him. And I don't regret it for a moment."
Edward smiled and kissed the side of her head, "He is an amazing kid, I'm glad I got to meet him. Though I am still curious about what you two do during the full moon."
Hermione laughed, "We just go out into the woods and I let him run around. The next full moon I have asked the pack if they would like to come with us. Teddy likes to play and I admit, he wears me out before the night is up."
Edward frowned when she mentioned the wolves, "Is that safe?"
"Of course it is. If it wasn't then I wouldn't have asked them. I am a witch and I am more than capable of stopping them if they become to rowdy, which I doubt will happen. There is no need to worry, none at all. Maybe next month you all could come. Teddy loves you all, especially you and Rose. He would enjoy getting to spend a full moon just playing around with you."
Edward wrapped one of his cold hands around Hermiones and smiled, "I would love to, as I'm sure everyone who is listening would love to as well."
"Hell yeah!" Emmett yelled loudly from the kitchen, followed by Esmes, "Language! There is a child in the house!"
Emmett just laughed and ran into the living room with a large smile on his face, "Would you transform into that lioness again? I will admit, that through me off, but ti was sweet! Who knew our little witch could transform into a little lioness!"
Hermione laughed, "Yes I will, I always do. It's more fun for Teddy when I do."
"Yeah! I can't wait!" Emmett raised his hand for a high five and with a roll of her eyes, Hermione complied.
Edward chuckled, "No Emmett, you cannot ride on her back."
"Aw! Why not?" He pouted.
Hermione laughed, "Sorry Emmett, the only allowed on my back will be Teddy." Emmett grumbled about life not being fair and walked out of the room. Hermione smiled and looked at Rosalie, "I believe I have just denied your husband from possibly breaking my back with to much excitement and now he is upset."
She laughed and handed Teddy to Hermione and then followed Emmett up to their bedroom.
Teddy laid his head against Hermiones chest and began playing with her long hair. She ran her fingers through his and laughed as his hair started to turn into a copper color.
Edward noticed and laughed, "I really like your hair Teddy."
Teddy just giggled and climb off of Hermione and into Edwards lap. Her cuddled up to Edward, not minding the cold temperature, "Eddy!"
We could all hear Emmetts booming laugh echo around the house.
