I'm once again sorry at the long wait for this chapter! I was considering putting this story on Hiatus to work on my other stories but I ultimately decided against it. This chapter will contain a lot of Paul and some of the pack too so be excited.

Disclaimer: Twilight and Harry Potter do not belong to me but Ill offer ten bucks to whoever thinks they can get me the rights to HP!

Lunch

Bloody hell, I thought disbelievingly. Hogwarts had been known for the speed that gossip will travel but I was thoroughly surprised that this school seemed to beat Hogwarts in that aspect. It had barely been two periods since the homeroom disaster, yet as I sat at my lunch table I could hear the rumours spreading around me quite clearly.

It seemed that everyone knew of the wanker, Paul's, outburst and even worse it seemed that Paul was quite popular AND this was unusual behaviour for him! If sticking his nose in other people's business was something Paul did regularly then I don't think it would have been such a big deal, but apparently this was new for him.

I tried my best to ignore the sound of my name being passed around but it was quite difficult. The Americans were even worse at being sneaky about their gossiping then even the most obnoxious Gryffindors!

"Hey Lisa!"

I turned to the voice calling me and I found myself face to face with Kaitlin from my homeroom class. The dark haired girl had sat herself right beside me and because I hadn't noticed her, decided to take a few years of my life.

Once I had recovered from my fright, I replied, "Hello Kaitlin, is there something I can help you with?"

I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just genuinely curious as to what Kaitlin was doing. Was she trying to become friends with me?

"Not really," started Kaitlin with a bubbly smile, "I thought you looked lonely, so I decided to come keep you company!"

I gave her an O for her acting but I had a feeling I knew what she really wanted…

"Oh and, I felt obligated to give you the 411 on Pauly boy since he seems to be interested," Kaitlin added with a suggestive wiggle of her eyebrows.

I smiled inwardly at the girl's bluntness, reminded strongly of my friend Kendra. Outwardly, I gave her a deadpan look and replied haughtily, "I have no idea what you talking about. The only thing this Paul boy is interested in is playing the knight in shining armour."

"You're funny, especially with that funny accent of yours," replied Kaitlin giggling behind her hand.

I just rolled my eyes at her, feeling wonderful at the sense of normality the banter was inspiring.

"Anyways, Paul and the rest of the "protectors" are pretty much the hottest, most sought after boys in the school," said Kaitlin, discreetly pointing at a table on the other side of the cafeteria.

I followed her finger and found myself staring at a table full of Paul clones. Okay, they weren't clones but I bet my old Cleansweep that they were related in some way. There was at least a half dozen of them and they were all extremely tall, muscular boys with dark, brown, cropped hair. I couldn't spot Paul's face but I assumed he was the one that the others were all surrounding and laughing at with his back to me. Thank Merlin he's not turned to me! If he sees me he'll probably come harass me again…

"I definitely see chemistry between you two. When he looked at you in class, when he had his arms around you, it was so cute I almost died!" squealed Kaitlin.

I gave her a raised eyebrow but didn't answer since I was too busy inspecting Paul's table. There was something about it, a feeling that sort of surrounded them. It felt familiar, not really magic per say, but I couldn't put my finger on it…

"Hello, earth to Lisa! I know they're some fine pieces of ass but your staring is starting to attraction attention."

That snapped me out of my trance and I quickly turned back to Kaitlin. The whispers seemed to become louder than ever but I expertly ignored them. Ravenclaws were used to other houses spreading nasty rumors about them since they all seemed to think we were stuck up know it alls that did nothing but study all day, especially the Gryffindors.

"I wasn't staring like some love-struck kitten," I snapped, "I was simply familiarizing myself with the enemy so I won't be unprepared for any possible future confrontation."

"You're really weird Lisa," said Kaitlin with a fond smile that made it clear she didn't mean it in a bad way.

I huffed and looked away trying to conceal my now watery eyes from her. At that moment, she had reminded me so much of Kendra I was unable to look at her. I couldn't save Kendra, she was crucioed right in front of me, but even then she died smiling…

Unaware of the depressing mood Lisa had put herself in, Kaitlin grinned mischievously and beckoned to Embry who was conveniently glancing at their table.

Embry gave her a confused look; after all they barely knew each other, so Kaitlin pointed to Paul then back to the girl beside her and mouthed 'This is her' at him. Embry seemed to understand as he turned back to his table and moments later the whole table uprooted themselves and started to walk over.

Kaitlin squealed in excitement causing Lisa, who had regained control over herself, to look curiously at the girl.

"Your favourite person is coming over~" sang Kaitlin.

I looked at the girl, wondering what exactly she was playing at. I opened my mouth to tell her that she had been a hypocrite to call me weird but the words got stuck in my throat when several people joined us at our table.

I recognized their clonish features instantly and sent a withering glare to the girl I presumed responsible. Kaitlin simply winked at me.

"Hey, you must be Lisa! Do you mind if we join you guys?" asked one of the clones.

"Since you've already made yourself comfortable it seems rather redundant to ask my permission, does it not?" I responded, purposely rude.

The clone I spoke to just smiled off my words and the rest of the, now full, table just seemed to think I was hilarious and started laughing. Gits.

"I'll take that as a yes then," I scowled, "I'm Embry, this is Jared, his girlfriend Kim, Jacob, Colin, Brady, and of course you've already met Paul."

I glanced over the faces of the people clo-Embry had introduced and was glad to note that their features weren't as clonish up close, so distinguishing them would be a cinch. I gave a nod to Kim but ignored the rest of them, especially Paul.

"So Lisa, sorry 'bout this morning. I uhh… just really don't like Martinez" said a familiar voice.

He just can't take a hint, this one I thought irritably.

"It's perfectly alright, dunderheads such as yourself can't help but make a spectacle of themselves," I replied curtly, reminding myself of Professor McGonagall. I shuddered slightly at the thought.

Paul wasn't put off in the slightest though; he just laughed like I had told some great joke. His eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked at me and I hated it. I had barely just met the boy and he was acting like a love struck puppy.

"So Lisa, I know this is kind of forward of me to ask but… wouldyougooneadatewithme?"

It took me a second to decipher what he had asked, but when my mind caught up I felt pushed into a long buried memory.

His blue eyes were darting all around looking anywhere but my face. I was curious as to what he had stopped me for, but I wasn't going to wait forever for him to spit it out. Just as I was going to turn and leave, he opened his mouth and let out a spew of word vomit that I couldn't understand for the life of me.

"What? You'll have to repeat that…"

He let out a puff of air before repeating slowly, "Lisa, I know it's weird for me of all people to ask but… will you accompany me to Hogsmeade this weekend?"

I gave a smile and gently whacked him on the head.

"Of course I will you idiot."

For a second, Paul's dark features were replaced by shaggy blond hair and big blue eyes. I felt my carefully locked away tears start to emerge and I knew I had to get out of there.

I gave Paul the nastiest, most disgusted glare I could muster and snapped, "Never."

I didn't stick around to watch his reaction, instead getting up and walking purposefully to the cafeteria door. I didn't hear Kaitlin or any of Paul's friends protest to my leaving so I deducted that they would probably hate me for my cruel words but it didn't matter.

What I did hear though, was Paul coming after me. Too fearful of the memories he brought up, I subtly slipped my wand from my pocket and cast a wordless Jelly Legs jinx at him.

I heard him fall to the floor and prayed to Merlin that no one saw the wand and it looked as if Paul had simply tripped.

Moments later Lisa slipped out the door, leaving a shocked table and a violently shaking Paul behind.

Done! You may have noticed a few POV changes in the story, if you get confused, my apologies. Also Lisa was very bitchy and that was done on purpose. I believe only a Mary sue would forgive Paul for humiliating her on her first day like that. Paul was also slightly OOC but his love-struck attitude is only for this chapter since he has just experienced imprinting and it messed with his personality. Future chapters will have a more angsty, angry Paul. Please REVIEW.
