I've decided that this is going to be one full of action and suspense! Here is chapter four!
~! #%^&*()_+~! #%^&*()_+~! #%^&*()_+~! %^&*()_+~! %^&*()_+~! #%^&*()_+! #%^&*()_+
Severus watched Jacob as he cooed Harry, while he dragged a pissed of Leah into the kitchen. He thought the whole introducing new born Harry to everyone was going well until Leah came back down and Jacob got his first look at him…
30 MINUTES EARLIER…
Severus nodded to the pack and dismissed them back into the party. Severus smiled when he noticed Leah making a slow trek down the stairs. Her eyes turned to horror and he turned quickly, seeing Jacob staring straight at Harry with the imprint eyes. Before he could turn around to stop her Leah was slamming Jacob into the wall.
"No! I won't let you have him before he's barely six hours old!" she screamed, making Harry start wailing. Severus and friends took the good part of the 30 minutes prying her fingers from Jacob's throat and Severus dragged her into the kitchen.
PRESENT…
Severus held Leah tight while she ranted and raved about the unfairness of it.
"I wanted him to fall in love on his own!" Leah started sobbing loudly into his chest.
"Jacob is strong and you know he will love him with his entire being." Severus promised, kissing her forehead. Leah just closed her eyes and leaned against him as silent tears ran down her face.
"Leah?" the tiny voice of Jacob asked. Leah looked at him with a hateful glare that softened when she saw a peacefully sleeping Harry in his arms.
"I didn't mean to imprint on him, but now that I have I swear with all my being that Harry will know nothing but happiness as long as I am alive." Jacob promised. Leah took a deep breath.
"I think I might have over reacted… from the left over hormones…" Leah said, taking Harry from Jacob's arms.
"It's ok. I'd be the same way." Jacob said with a soft smile.
FEW WEEKS LATER…
Leah looked out the window while feeding Harry. Her chest clutched painfully and she sat down when soft white snow started falling from the sky. Severus came down the stairs and looked at her as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Tomorrow they are coming…" Leah whispered. Severus sat next to her and pulled her close, hugging her tight against his hard body.
"We are ready for them. Tonight we'll spread Bella's blood to make them go into a frenzy and we'll take you and Bella to the top of a mountain to keep you safe. Seth, the twins, and Edward will be protecting you."
"What about you?" Leah asked, clutching his shirt.
"I have to lead the pack…" Severus whispered.
"No you don't! You weren't born the leader and I need you! Harry needs you!" Leah sobbed out.
"I swear I will do all in my power to return to you and Harry. But if this isn't taken care of they will just keep coming and I won't have you or Harry afraid the rest of your lives." Severus said, cupping her cheek. Leah closed her eyes against the onslaught of more tears. Severus kissed Harry on top of his head and took him from Leah's arm, drinking in the sight of his young son while he could.
That night Leah stood in a small cabin Severus and the twins had made for their safety from the huge blizzard that raged outside. She looked outside with fearful eyes while Harry slept peacefully in a bassinet next to a roaring fire. Seth was in wolf form by the door watching her, while Edward acted as a translator.
"Severus said they are hunkered down and will be ready tomorrow morning when they arrive." Edward said, looking at Seth. The twins looked over at him.
"That's a little"
"Creepy dude. Stop with the"
"Mind reading crap" the twins said, playing exploding snap on the couch.
"Only when you stop finishing each other's sentences." Edward said back, looking at them with an annoyed look while Bella sat freezing in front of the fire.
"Enough… we need to sleep…" Leah said, turning away to lay next to Harry in a thick sleeping bag.
"Why couldn't your magical boyfriend make rooms? Or at least a heater…" Bella complained, already huddled in her sleeping bag as close to the fire as she dared.
"Because he was saving his energy for the huge fight tomorrow to save your sorry ass you ungrateful…" Leah growled, but became quite when Harry stirred. Bella glared, but didn't dare risk Leah's anger if Harry woke.
Seth lifted his head and let out a snicker that made Edward laugh softly into his hand.
"What?" Leah asked annoyed.
"Jacob said to give Harry a good night kiss for him." Edward said, settling down next to Bella.
"Seth tell him to go blow himself." Leah hissed, curling up in her sleeping back.
"He said in wolf form he can reach so he just might." Edward said. Everyone in the cabin burst into laughter but went deadly silent when Harry woke up with a wail.
SOMEWHERE ELSE… DAWN
Severus stood on a huge rock looking over the meadow, as new borns started rushing in, blinded by the Bella's blood spattered on the trees. The Cullens started quickly taking them out and the pack stepped in when it became too much. Severus felt that this was too easy, and dread filled his chest. Where was Victoria?
Leah's eyes snapped open and she shot up, looking around as Seth snarled at the door and the twins stood with wands at the ready. Edward was in front of Bella who had backed herself into a corner. Leah put Harry in the bassinet and stood protectively in front of it.
The door blew off the hinges and Riley launched himself at Seth with lightning fast speed. The twins launched spells as other new borns ran into the cabin, almost taking out the twins with their speed. Victoria ran in and tackled Edward, going right through the wall of the cabin. Leah grabbed Harry and ran from the cabin, running into the forest towards where she knew Severus was.
Victoria launched Edward into some trees and ran towards Leah until Seth slammed into her from the side.
On the battlefield Severus turned his head and howled, when he saw that Victoria had tricked them all and found the two people she was after so easily. Seth was fighting off Victoria but was thrown painfully into a tree and Victoria was once again after Leah.
Leah panted and screamed as she fell into the soft snow. Harry wailed in fear and Leah held him closer, turning as Victoria appeared and grinned hatefully.
"I think I will drain you baby dry first, before I bite you. I heard vampire venom was poisonous to doggies." Victoria hissed. Leah held Harry tighter and felt a single tear roll down her face. The world suddenly became colder, and the snow whipped violently around as a figure in black appeared with a huge scythe in boney fingers.
"You will not kill this little brat! Otherwise I have to deal with his mopey shit again!" a thousand angry voices wailed, making Victoria cover her ears. She tried to rush the figure but was lifted into the air easily.
"You dare try to fight death?" the voices hissed. She screamed as her skin became soft and pink and her hair started to turn grey. Her face withered and her scream became dried until she was an old frail woman and death dropped her into the snow, shaking and weak.
Death disappeared without even looking back at Leah, leaving the young woman in a quiet shock. Severus skidded to a stop and turned human all in one smooth moment and gathered the woman into his arms.
"Leah, my love, are you alright?" Severus asked, cupping her cheeks and looking into her eyes.
"Yeah… I'm fine…" Leah whispered, shaking herself out of her shock.
"The new borns are dead." Severus said, looking over at the old Victoria trying to crawl away. A smile graced Leah's lips.
"It's over…" Leah whispered.
"Yeah, it's over." Severus said with a grin, capturing Leah's lips in a passionate kiss.
FOUR YEARS LATER…
Leah cheered and clapped when 19 year old Seth kissed his two new husbands and everyone broke into tears or cheers. Her extended belly did not keep her from pushing everyone out of her way to hug her brother tight in his handsome white tux.
"Oh Seth… I'm so proud of you." Leah said, wiping her tears away.
"Thank you Leah." Seth said with a teary grin. It was the happiest and the saddest day of their lives. After the wedding Seth would be leaving with the Weasley twins to go live full time in the English Wizarding World, where their love was legal.
"You have to promise to visit every American holiday and English holiday. I don't want you pulling away." Leah said, gripping his hands.
"I won't I swear." Seth said, hugging her tight "I have to get to know my new niece." Seth said with a smile, patting her belly. Severus walked over with a sleepy Harry who was rubbing his eyes.
"I'm so happy you have decided to keep the red headed terrors in England and far from me." Severus said, shaking Seth's hand.
"Daddy I'm sleepy!" Harry whined, pulling on Severus's tux. Severus turned calmly and called out to Jacob. Jacob walked over and took his imprint, kissing his cheek and rocking him.
"I'll take him home and put him to bed." Jacob said, letting Harry rest his head on his shoulder.
"Thank you, I don't think Leah is ready to leave yet." Severus said, looking at his teary wife.
"It's no problem, I'm lucky Leah didn't kick me out of his life for good." Jacob said, heading back to the village.
Severus lead Leah and Sue to the reception area, where the party was in full swing.
Jacob settled Harry in his bed and kissed his temple softly. He went back down the stairs and yawned loudly, sitting on the couch to just shut his eyes for a minute.
Jacob woke up to cool lips on his and jerked awake, seeing a ghostly figure of a man in front of him. Robes covered him neck to toe and he wore ugly wire rimmed glasses. His wild hair was moved to show a small lightning bolt scar on his forehead.
"Who are you?" Jacob asked his entire body on edge.
"I am Harry Potter, Harry's old memories… for how much longer I'm not sure." A small smile graced his lips.
"There is something dark around you; I don't want you near Harry." Jacob hissed.
"I don't want him cursed with these memories… of a dark war and betrayal… that's why I need your help." The ghost answered.
"How can I help?" Jacob asked, standing up. The ghost held up three items: a wand, a cloak, and a stone.
"Hide these three items, in separate places and never tell anyone where you've hidden them." The ghost instructed.
"That's all?"
"That's all."
"And Harry will be safe?" Jacob asked, finally taking the items.
"Your Harry will be safe." The ghost said. Jacob took off into the forest in his wolf form, the items clutched tight in his jaws. He broke the wand into three pieces and scattered them around different parts of the forest. The stone he threw as hard as he could over their cliff into the softly moving ocean below. The cloak was a little harder. He found the heaviest stone in the forest and lifted it up to stuff the cloak under it before letting it fall.
Rushing back to the house he checked to make sure Harry was still asleep before he silently looked to see if the ghost was still there. There he was in the living room still floating.
"What… are you…" Jacob whispered.
"I am the memories of another life, becoming solid. While Harry holds my soul… I hold everything he once was. The memories, the pain, the happiness… and if it is up to me he will never remember who he was. I will be the guardian of what he was until he dies and reclaims me. Just like you have a guardian of the memories of who you once were. Every soul that is reborn has a vessel left behind, so that their past life doesn't interfere with who they will become now." The ghost turned to leave when Jacob tried to stop him.
"Wait! I was someone else? Who was I?"
"You'll have to die to find out." He said, disappearing once and for all. Jacob slumped onto the couch and closed his eyes.
When he opened them it was dark outside, and Harry had climbed his way to rest his head on his lap. He groaned and stretched just as Leah and Severus entered, shaking Harry awake.
"Did you two have a good nap?" Leah asked with a chuckle, picking up her little Harry.
"Yeah… I just had a weird dream." Jacob mumbled, rubbing his face.
"Well the party is over and the two little grey hair makers are on their way back to England." Severus said gleefully, taking off his tux jacket. Jacob laughed and kissed Harry's cheek again, waving to Leah and Severus, and took off for his house.
Jacob found Charlie and Billy sitting on the couch snoring away, propped up against each other like old tools and an unwatched game playing on the TV. He turned off the TV and shifted his dad enough to make it seem like he was leaning on Charlie's shoulder, and put an old blanket over them. Chuckling darkly he snuck back to his room and hopped he would be awake when they woke up to their position.
Stretching out on the bed he turned on his video game system to kill some aliens when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He let out a groan and dug it out, opening it and putting it to his ear.
"Hello?" He answered, not recognizing the number.
"Jacob? It's me Bella." A voice whispered.
"Bella? What are you doing whispering?" Jacob asked pausing his game.
"I have a huge problem Jacob…" she choked out.
"What is it? Are you hurt?" he asked like a dutiful friend, sitting up quickly.
"I…I'm pregnant…"
