Well here we are Chapter 7. A lot later than I intended but oh Well. On a side note for those of you who haven't seen it yet there's a poll on my profile for which of the wolves Hermione should end up with. I already have her planned to end up with one person but whether or not she also ends up with a wolf is up to you the readers. Anyway with that said you should no by now I neither own Twilight or Harry Potter so I'm not going to quote that. With all that said I guess we can get onto chapter 7 and you guys can be happy.

Chapter 7: Alliance, Gathering Allies, Joining the Quileutes,

Jasper POV:

Life is complicated. I say this because of the fact that I thought Alice and I were meant to be together when she found her mate in a new, well he's not exactly human, but he's not a vampire or shape shifter. I don't honestly know what he is. I do however know that he has interested Carlisle and the Quileutes. Anyway enough about my thoughts, before I digress further. I stretched and walked downstairs where Emmet was playing a videogame and Rose was doing her hair. Esme was in the kitchen sorting things and Carlisle was at the hospital.

I don't know where Alice is because she took her car and drove off. I stretched and asked Rose "You know where Alice went in such a hurry?" Rose shook her head and I sighed. I walked into the kitchen and asked Esme "Do you know where Alice went Esme, Rose and Emmett aren't sure and I can't ask Carlisle since he's at work."

Esme turned and looked at me knowingly. I looked at her questioningly and she said "Alice is going shopping in Port Angeles with Bella and Hermione, the girl Harry brought with him. Speaking of Harry, you know Carlisle wants to have our meeting tonight and see what everyone decided on. We all know Alice has sided with Harry, for reasons only she is sure about, so that just leaves you, me, Rose, Emmet, and Carlisle to pick what we plan on doing." I nodded and kissed her cheek then walked back into the living room before heading into the garage.

I sighed and thought "Harry sure has surprised my family. I know he says he wants to face the Volturi, but why would he want to fight with vampires? It's just not something a human would do; then again that boy may not be human. Depending on what the family decides I may just start contacting old friends like Charlotte and Peter. He'll need all the help he can get, and they have no love of the Volturi." I sighed and shook my head then decided to go hunting.

I ran out into the woods and started tracking a mountain lion. I knew if I was going to be in close proximity to humans at school tomorrow I had to remove the temptation while I could. I glanced up and saw that it was a nice cloudy day, one of the things I loved about Forks. I continued tracking the mountain lion until I finally found him drinking from a river. I tackled him and snapped his neck then drained him over the course of a half hour.

After that I followed the trail of a few deer still feeling slightly hungry. I followed the trail until I saw the herd then tackled one of them and dug in after snapping its neck. I drank until the deer was drained then started back toward the house. It was a short hunt, but I wasn't extremely hungry and it was more to keep the edge of hunger off than anything else. I walked back to the house and saw Rose working in the garage.

She was feeling confused and I silently wondered why. I walked inside only to feel Emmett's irritation at something. I glanced at the game he was playing and saw it was why he was so irritated. I sat down next to him and said "Up for a game against me, or going to keep playing on your own?"

Emmett said "Let me finish what I'm doing and save then we can play something." I nodded and watched as he slowly figured out what was bothering him and completed the level. He saved the game and shut it off then popped out the disk and put it away before putting in Call of Duty. I smirked and the two of us faced off against each other with a team of bots each. As we started Emmett said "You alright Jas? I mean you've been moping ever since we got back until you saw that guy Harry's friend Hermione."

I blinked and protested "I haven't been moping; I just haven't been able to decide what to do. Now that Harry's given us this ultimatum I'm even less sure than I used to be." Emmett nodded and the two of us continued playing then I asked him "So you think we should help him, or should we let him fight the Volturi on his own?" Emmett shrugged and shot me with a sniper rifle on the game causing me to swear as my character died.

When I respawned I tracked him down and knifed him in the back. He glared at me and said "It's on." I smirked at him and the two of us started killing everything in our path while trying to avoid being killed by the other's bots and each other. We kept trying to one up each other and I found myself enjoying things for the first time in days. I just relaxed and let myself get lost in the game.

Finally Rose interrupted us as time ran out and said "Carlisle called. He said he'd be home in about ten minutes and we'd have a family meeting when he gets here so you two should stop playing your silly game." Emmett stood up and kissed Rose then the two of them went upstairs to their room for a bit of alone time until Carlisle got in. I sprawled out on the couch sighing and thought "Maybe I have been in a funk. If so it's probably because I'm around people who actually have mates and I'm alone. I guess I got so used to being with Alice I never thought she'd find her mate in someone else. Ah well, I'll just have to move on."

I yawned and closed my eyes just relaxing even though I couldn't fall asleep, I could at least relax. Esme walked in and sat down in one of the chairs, I could tell who it was by the sound of their footsteps, she asked me "Everything alright Jasper?" I nodded. She smiled slightly and said "I hate to say this, but I think that Carlisle's going to rely on your opinion a bit more than the others since you've actually fought other vampires before." I opened one eye to see the sad smile on her face and sighed.

I sat up and asked "You sure he's going to rely on my opinion more than the others? What about Alice?" She raised an eyebrow as if asking me 'Would you really rely on Alice when her feelings are all she's thinking about?' I sighed and said "Alright so Alice is ruled out because of her feelings for Harry. Emmet and Rose aren't exactly the best of fighters, but they're opinions should still matter. I mean Emmett's bested me in sparring matches before."

Esme nodded and said "One on one Emmett has a chance to beat you. However in groups you know battle tactics. You've fought in a war before, and have no doubt that is what Harry wants. A war with the Volturi will be bloody and dangerous. The only way we could possibly win without their numbers harming more of us than we can handle is if we could find a way to evolve beyond normal vampires. Which since that is impossible, we'll need someone who's good with tactics."

I sighed and started to speak as Carlisle walked inside and yelled "EMMETT, ROSE, COME DOWN HERE, IT'S TIME FOR THE FAMILY MEETING!" I nodded at Carlisle who smiled sadly at me as Rose and Emmett walked downstairs. They sat down beside me on the couch, after I moved over to give them room, then we all looked at Carlisle. He sighed and said "This idea of war on the Volturi has been weighing on my mind pretty heavily. What do all of you think before I make any decisions?"

I sighed and said "The more I think on it, the more I'm sure Harry knows something he's not telling us. I think whatever he knows will help immensely if we do fight the Volturi, but without allies we can't do anything. I can start calling old contacts, but until I know the entire family is committed I would rather not risk their lives. I know Alice trusts Harry, but we don't really know him. Though I know he can block out my abilities. So I'm currently undecided."

Emmet spoke next saying "I think we should side with Harry. I mean yeah he has secrets, but so do we. He knows we're vegetarian vampires and has never shown us anything but respect. That's got to count for something, plus I don't want my little sister to go at this alone. I don't think Alice has a clue what she's getting into, however if she does shouldn't we trust her and stand by her as a family should? I mean we all stood with Edward when he wanted to leave Bella even though Alice tried to vote against it."

Rose sighed and said "As much as I have trouble trusting Alice's new friend, I have to agree with Emmett. Alice needs us, and if we don't help her she may get herself killed." Emmett kissed the side of her head and I glanced at Esme to see her thoughts. She looked slightly conflicted but after a few minutes she sighed softly and straightened in her chair.

She must have come to a conclusion because she sighed and said "I have to agree with the children Carlisle, Alice needs us. Plus what if Harry wasn't lying about the Volturi wanting to get rid of all vegetarian vampires? It would mean that we are in a dangerous situation and he may be the only one who can help us." She looked Carlisle in the eyes beseechingly and I felt her worry as if I was drowning in it. I released waves of reassurance and calm at her causing her to relax slightly.

Carlisle sighed and said "Then I have no choice but to tell Harry we will be his allies. I guess we should call in everyone we can and see who is with us and who wants to stay out of things as well as who is siding with the Volturi. The sooner we know our enemies the better." Everyone nodded and I figured that that was all there was to say until Carlisle asked "Has anyone heard anything about Alice? I haven't had a chance to ask Alice what he's up to but I was hoping maybe he had dropped by the house." We all shook our heads in the negative and Carlisle sighed before saying softly "What has become of you my son."

Carlisle walked upstairs to his office with Esme in tow then I said "I guess I'll go tell Harry about your decision Carlisle." He nodded at me and I walked out to my Ducati 848 and climbed on then pulled on my helmet since Charlie would have a fit if he pulled me over because I didn't have a helmet on, especially with Bella having her own bike.

I drove for about twenty minutes then pulled up to Harry's place and parked next to his Ford Focus. I noticed it was jet black, just like his real hair and shook my head wondering why everyone liked the color black so much. I walked up and knocked on the door. Harry answered it about three minutes later and said "Oh Hey Jasper, can I help you with something? I mean Alice took Hermione and Bella shopping so I haven't seen hide nor hair of the three of the since this morning if you're looking for her."

I shook my head and said "No Carlisle's decided an alliance with you is what he wants to do." Harry raised an eyebrow and motioned for me to come inside after looking around and holding open the door. I walked in wondering why he was being so cautious. He shut the door behind me and I said "Afraid of someone seeing us talking?" He shook his head then waved his hand a few times and sat down in a chair in his living room. I sat down on his couch and watched him.

He said "It's great to hear that your family is agreeing to the alliance. Tell Carlisle I'll ask the Quileutes when they want to meet and we can formalize the Alliance between us. Sorry about not talking on the porch, but I wanted to put up some wards I couldn't do outside. Anyway, What made you guys decide to side with me?"

I shrugged and replied "Alice." He nodded at that and I continued "When you say wards, what do you mean exactly?" Harry just smiled and waved his hand showing glowing hieroglyphs that made a strange pattern I realized was what he meant by wards. He waved his hand and the ward faded out of existence. I looked at him and asked "What are you? You're obviously not a human, but at the same time you're not a werewolf, shifter, or vampire."

He shrugged and said "I don't rightly know. I was once a wizard which was just an evolved human able to cast magic, but as time went on I changed. I can honestly say I'm not human anymore, but Hermione technically is human even if she's a witch. So I can't rightly answer your question Jasper, sorry." I nodded in understanding wondering what he meant by he had changed but deciding it was none of my business.

I stretched and he broke the wards down then said "So if that's everything I guess we can call the day done." I shook my head as I tried to think of everything I needed to tell him and ask him. He saw the look on my face and said "Ah you have more to talk about, alright; I'm always willing to listen." I smiled slightly in thanks, it probably looked pretty weird with all my scars but Harry just grinned back lopsidedly.

I sighed and said "What are your plans for Alice, your plans for gaining more allies? Do you even have the slightest idea how to wage a war, or kill a vampire?" In answer to my last two questions he nodded his head, to everything else he looked thoughtful as he mulled over how much to tell me now, and how much he should wait on. It was the look I'd seen in the mirror multiple times when talking to my subordinates in the army.

He sighed and said "My only plans for Alice are to make her happy. I plan on asking her to use her abilities to give us an edge, but she said they currently can't see the wolves of La-push. I may be able to help her get past that block, but I'm not sure. I waged one war before but it was more of a resistance than a real war. I have killed a vampire before, without her getting a chance to fight back. Thus I think I can kill vampires in answer to your question."

I blinked at the fire in Harry's voice and decided I like the kid, no young man. He wasn't a kid, I could tell that just from how he carried himself and how he acted. He'd had to grow up fast, just like me. I realized that Harry and I were a lot alike; both forced to fight in a war when younger, though I'd chosen to fight for the confederates and he'd chosen to fight for a resistance force that promoted equality. I studied Harry and said "Alright, as long as you're not planning on just using Alice or getting my family killed I can readily support you commander."

Harry nodded and I smirked knowing he was trying to place my accent then said "So, what's the plan to start off this war of yours?" Harry shrugged and seemed to space out as he thought over at least three different options for how to start our engagement. I thought about telling him he should stick with gathering allies but I wanted to see if he would do that or like some generals would run off halfcocked with a smaller force and get himself into trouble.

Harry sighed and said "First we need as many allies as we can get. I think we need to get natural enemies of vampires and offer them amnesty if we take charge. I also think we have to find a way to evolve the vampires who work with us to the next step in their possible evolutionary chain." I blinked and stared at him. He smirked slightly and said "Yes there's a way for vampires to evolve, it just takes a bit of magic." I slowly nodded then Harry stretched and said "I guess you better go tell Carlisle I'll contact him when I know the elders want to meet with you guys. Also see if you can contact anyone who's willing to join us."

I nodded and stood up then headed out to my Ducati. I hopped on and drove back to the house then pulled into the garage and walked inside after seeing Alice still wasn't back yet. I walked inside to see Emmett back to playing games on the couch with Rose laying her head on his shoulder. I walked over and sat down then stretched my arms over my head and nudged Emmett. He looked at me and I said "Harry thinks we can evolve."

He stared at me slack jawed and Rose sighed then glanced over his shoulder at me and asked "So what if the kid thinks we can evolve, it's not like he knows a way to make it happen." I sighed and thought "Classic Rosalie doesn't care about an idea unless it can be implemented. Then again, maybe Harry can implement it if whatever he is has that kind of power. I'll have to bring it up to Alice when I see her next." I showed Rose my irritation with her and she raised an eyebrow questioningly asking "What's got you on his side all of a sudden. I mean I'm supporting him because of Alice, but you seemed the most reserved next to Esme and Carlisle."

I shrugged and said "I actually talked to him and he changed my opinion Rose. You might be surprised what kind of man he is if you talked with him." She huffed and I sensed her aggravation that I wasn't siding with her about Harry being a little boy anymore. I shrugged and closed my eyes slipping into my thoughts, though instead of focusing on Harry my mind latched onto his friend Hermione and how she acted when she first met us. She hadn't acted like it was a big deal meeting vampires, I almost expected her to chew Harry out for not respecting us when he was a bit flippant but she held back for some reason.

I sighed and got up then headed up to my room still thinking. I plopped down on my bed and pulled my pillow over my head muttering "Why the heck does this girl hold such an impact on my mind?" I growled and tossed the pillow across the room and just laid there grumbling to myself. I couldn't get her out of my head, nor could I figure out why she was in my head in the first place. It was just a nagging feeling that she was somehow very important, even more important than Alice used to be.

I sighed and closed my eyes after retrieving my pillow and lying back down. I shook my head and said aloud "Obviously my mind is infatuated with a girl who can't even be nineteen yet I can't figure out why. What is so important about this girl that she makes me stop being able to concentrate on anything else even when she's not around?" I gave up on trying to figure it out as I heard the sound of a car pulling into the garage.

Jacob POV:

I sat in the garage talking with Quil and Embry and joking around about the past few weeks and how Leah had been acting. Ever since Harry had come to Forks she'd been acting differently. She wasn't quite as bitchy to everyone, she and Seth got along better, and she seemed to be over Sam. I mean I'd even brought up Sam and Emily accidentally and she just ignored it seemingly lost in her own little world.

I wondered if she had imprinted with how she acted toward the stranger who the Quileute people were now accepting as one of our own. It wasn't normal, then again neither was Harry. The elders seemed to know something the rest of us didn't, though they hadn't let Sam in on it either which was surprising. It was almost as if they saw him as a reincarnation of Taha-Aki. I snorted at that thought and shook my head.

I stretched and looked at Quil then said "You and Embry up for a run before patrol?" They nodded and the three of us went off into the woods and stripped then tied our clothing to our legs and phased. We met up in a clearing not far from my house and started running. We didn't say anything to each other through our link, each of us trying to close our thoughts off from the others. It wasn't really working out to well, however we managed to keep our innermost thoughts secret.

Though I noticed we had all seen how Bella treated Harry. I knew she wasn't my imprint, but she was still my friend so I planned on making sure that he treated her right. If she chose him to be her boyfriend, who were we to stop her. I also planned on giving him the talk about Leah, if Seth or Sam didn't beat me to it. Sam may not have been in love with Leah anymore, however he still cared about her as a friend and member of his pack.

The entire pack had trouble reading Leah's mind and she said she'd been taught how to better control her thoughts by Harry. The fact that he taught her and not the rest of us kind of bothered Sam, but he seemed to understand. Suddenly Sam said in my mind "Jacob you're on patrol in five. Switch with Paul." I replied in the affirmative and ran to the border where I knew Paul was waiting for me to switch with him.

As soon as he saw me Paul ran off saying "Thanks Jake, I needed a break. I'm going to Sam's place, he wants to meet everyone between the next patrols, and he said that Harry would be here to tell us what the Cullen's said. Leah said he talked with Jasper who gave him the rest of the Cullens answer. I still can't believe that even Sam won't let us call them leeches anymore."

I snorted thinking that the only one who should be called a leech was that bastard Edward. He'd left Bella to die, and if it weren't for Harry she would have died. Hell Harry said she'd been in critical condition when he found her. It really bothered me. I mean I hadn't imprinted on the girl, but she was one of my oldest friends. I growled and shook my head as the thought of Harry's other friend came to the forefront of my mind. The entire pack had been surprised by her, and at least one member of the pack was likely to imprint on her.

I knew she was Harry's friend, but she seemed so different from the black haired hard eyed soldier. That was the best way to describe him at least; he had the eyes and demeanor of a soldier as if he'd been a war veteran of some type. I shook my head and continued to patrol catching the scents of different people but no vamps. Man it was hard to think of them as anything other than leeches alpha order or no. I shook my head and continued along the border wondering how things would change once the treaty became an alliance with the Cullens and what Harry had planned.

I shook my head and patrolled for the next two hours then ran to Sam's and phased pulling on my shirt as I walked in. The others were all gathered around his kitchen table. Sam looked at me and said "So Jake how was your patrol?" I shrugged to let him know it was as usual. There hadn't been any signs of vamps since Leah and Harry took out the red headed bitch. Sam glanced at me and started to ask more when Leah walked in looking pretty happy.

Everyone smirked slightly at that knowing she was so happy because she'd just been seeing Harry. Sam asked her "So is Harry coming to the res tonight?" She nodded and he smirked slightly then asked "That why you're so happy Leah?" She shook her head and glared at him as if daring him to contradict her. He laughed and said "Easy Leah, just asking. Do you know what he's going to talk to the pack about?"

She nodded and said "Yeah, he's going to bring Alice and Jasper. Before you get mad though he said he'd only bring them to the boundary and meet one of us there. I volunteered Jake and Seth saying they'd both be happy to do it." I glared at her and she smiled at me then said "What you both want to see that girl Hermione again, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity." I growled at her but didn't say anything while Seth just sighed and muttered about evil older sisters.

Sam studied her and said "Alright since Harry's expecting Jacob and Seth I guess those two will go. I'll go along with them, you coming Leah?" She nodded and Sam said "Alright, since we'll be meeting them at the border, no point in having a patrol at that time. You do know when it is, right Leah?"

She nodded and glanced at the clock then said "Six o' clock. Unless you have a problem with that Sam in which case I can call Harry and let him know to come earlier or later." I blinked amazed. It seemed like Harry was trying to keep things easy on us wolves. I looked at the clock and saw it was already five, which meant we had an hour to get to the border. Leah noticed me looking at the clock and said "Yeah I told him later would be better, but he said he wanted to meet earlier if possible because he said we'd be talking a while."

Sam just nodded and motioned for the three of us to head outside then we walked out and each phased before heading toward the boundary line where we'd meet up with Harry and the Cullens. I wondered who all would be there and if he'd bring Bella or leave her at her house this time. We smelled the Cullens before we saw them. It was just Harry, Jasper, Alice, and Hermione thankfully. I couldn't see a reason for Bella to be here after all. Sam walked into the woods a ways then phased back before walking up and saying "Hello Harry, Cullens, and Miss?"

Hermione said "Hello I'm Hermione I didn't get to introduce myself last time we met. I'm an old friend of Harry's." I studied her and noticed that Seth was doing the same if Leah's huff of irritation was anything to go by. She was about five feet seven inches tall, had bushy brown hair than went down to her shoulder blades, brown eyes, and was wearing a grey t shirt and blue jeans. They looked good on her, though she seemed slightly uncomfortable.

Sam nodded and said "Thanks for introducing yourself Hermione. I know it's a bit odd, but it is better I know you since you are friends with one of my pack brothers." Hermione raised an eyebrow and Sam explained "Leah told us about Harry turning into a wolf, and since he's becoming one of us, that makes him a pack brother." Hermione nodded in acknowledgement then stretched and motioned for Harry to start talking to let Sam know what he needs to know. I liked how she skipped the pleasantries and was making the two get straight to the point.

Harrys sighed and said "Well good news is Carlisle is willing to meet with the Elders and Pack as long as they're willing to meet with him. Bad news I don't know where to gather our allies from but the Cullens are working on that. I figure we could send some of the pack to meet with other shifters and see if they'll join with us, then I'm going to have to skip school and do my own research."

Sam raised an eyebrow and asked "Research?" Harry nodded and Sam asked "What kind of research?" Harry glanced around then shook his head as if to say 'Not here.' Sam nodded and the two of them headed off on their own to talk leaving Leah, Seth, Hermione, Jasper, and Alice with me. We just sat there staring at each other waiting for them to come back. I personally didn't have a problem with most of the Cullens so for me this wasn't a big deal, same for Seth and Leah it appeared.

Finally Hermione seemed to get fed up with the silence and said "Do any of you have any idea what Harry's research is about?" We all shook our heads and she turned to Jasper and Alice who were doing the same. She growled and said "He's so secretive lately. The only thing he tells me is it will help with the war effort and might just cure vampirism if his theory is correct. He won't explain anything more than that and it's irritating me to no end."

Jasper sighed and everyone felt calmer. Leah and I looked at him and he said "Relax Hermione. Harry's obviously keeping secrets to make our lives easier. I have a feeling he'll tell you everything eventually. He may even ask for your input." She slowly nodded relaxing more and sighed closing her eyes. I glanced at Seth who seemed to have the same thoughts as me, which were that this girl was definitely different.

Leah walked up and nuzzled her hand causing Hermione to smile and say "Thanks Leah, your comfort and support is really helpful." Hermione opened her eyes then studied us and said "So I know the sandy one is Seth, since I saw him phase at Harry's but who is the other one?" I felt slightly offended she didn't know who I was, and then I realized she'd never seen me in my wolf form and felt marginally better.

Suddenly Sam and Harry walked back. Harry said "So, we meet with the elders the day after tomorrow at eight at the bonfire?" Sam nodded and Harry shook his hand then the two started to go their separate ways everyone going with them. Sam phased after we were a ways away and started running back to his place. We followed him and I silently wondered what the plan was now that he knew what Harry was researching and what the two of them had talked about.

Harry POV:

I dropped Alice and Jasper off at their home then I drove to my place and parked in my usual spot. I stretched and got out of the vehicle after shutting it off and glanced at Hermione. I knew her hearing about my research would drive her mad so I planned on telling her about it tonight. I walked inside with her following then made us both a cup of tea. Hermione watched me as I made the tea and asked "Do you plan on telling me your plan now that it's just the two of us?"

I nodded as I let the water boil then turned to her and said "I'll explain once we're both settled in the living room." She nodded finding this acceptable then walked into the living room to wait for me. The kettle whistled and I quickly poured the water into two cups then put tea bags in each cup and walked into the living room with a tray holding the kettle, cups, sugar, and some honey. I added some sugar to my cup and stirred it then pulled out the tea bag and sipped it slowly watching Hermione as she prepared her tea the way she liked it.

Hermione looked at me and motioned for me to explain as she sipped her tea. I sighed and said "Alright let's begin with vampires and what they are. Vampires are basically living corpses because they're body has no beating heart or working organs." Hermione nodded and I said "Well I'm working on a special thing that can allow me to restart their organs and allow blood to flow through their body again, but mix with their venom." She raised an eyebrow and motioned for me to go on.

I sighed and scratched my neck then said "IF it works they'll become true immortals, their venom giving them a lengthened life span, but their blood allowing their organs to properly function and them to be almost human just stronger, faster, and all around better I guess. It'll take a mix of magic and science, but after being here a while I understand enough of science to start a serum that I can use on them, however I also need to add in blood for their body to assimilate it, and I think I'll need potion ingredients which is where magic comes in."

Hermione raised an eyebrow and said "So you're basically trying to create a potion that uses a mixture of science and magic to restart the heart, get blood flowing, and fuse that blood with the venom in a vampire's veins allowing them to keep their superior abilities but allowing them to reproduce and be alive again. You do realize how crazy that sounds, correct?" I nodded and she continued "Good. As long as you know I'll try to help you. I just hope you realize what you're doing."

I snorted and said "I already have some of the paperwork drawn up. Let me go get it and you can take a look then we can start discussing how to take it from theoretical to practical." She nodded and I got up then headed upstairs only for my phone to ring as I got to my office. I answered it saying "Hello?" I grabbed the papers and headed downstairs tossing them before Hermione on the coffee table before walking outside to take the call.

Alice was on the other end of the line. She said "Hey Harry, I was just wondering how you were doing."

I replied "I'm doing fine Alice, thanks for asking. Hermione and I were just about to start working on a project I have planned."

She laughed and said "In the time I've known you you've never talked about a project. What are you planning?"

I just smiled and said "That would be telling, which is not something I plan to do until we've got it past the theoretical stage, sorry." She grumbled and I asked "Anything else you needed Alice, or is this just a social call?"

She smiled, I could hear it in her voice, and said "Just a social call. Why, can't a girl call her male friends without something being up? Or is there some law in Britain saying all social calls have to be between males or females not between both genders?"

I laughed at that and said "No, nothing like that. I'm just not used to pretty girls giving me social calls. Then again I'm not used to social calls period. I've gotten more calls since moving to the states than I ever had back in Britain." Alice gasped and I sighed realizing the social faux paus I just made. I swallowed and said "Now Alice don't get any ideas. I was perfectly fine contacting my friends by owl." She gasped again and I realized I wasn't going to be getting out of this one.

Alice said "I'll be over tomorrow then you and I are going clubbing after school. It'll be to celebrate our exams." I sighed and mumbled a reply then said I had to go and hung up. I walked inside to see Hermione going over my notes muttering to herself. I sat down in my chair and she said "Well Harry, you're notes are much more detailed than they ever were in Hogwarts. You must have put a lot of thought into this. Is there any particular reason why?"

I shrugged and said "Rose is desperate to have a kid. I don't know why, but she wants the experience of what it was like to be a mother, as does Esme. If I can perfect the serum, with some rules attached, I can give them both the biological ability to become a mother again. However I don't know if their children will be vampire, human, some hybrid, or immortals. It will really depend on the serum."

She nodded and we started to go in depth about the pros and cons of what I'd written so far. After about three hours we decided to call it a night and get some sleep. I walked upstairs to my room then collapsed face first onto my bed and fell into a deep slumber. As soon as I was asleep Death appeared and smiled then hugged me. I blinked and she said "Look at you the champion of death trying to create life. I'm so proud. Also if you and Hermione work together you should have nothing to worry about with your Serum. You may even be able to add the requirements that it can only be taken by those who feed on animal blood if you tweak it right."

I blinked and said "Great Death, but if that's the only reason you're here it's a bit of a waste of your powers." She smiled mischievously and kissed my cheek making me wonder what she had planned or what she needed me to do. Death smiled seeing that I wasn't buying that she had no reason for being here and patted my head making me grumble.

After a bit she said "I have three reasons for visiting you tonight. First and Foremost, you will have four people besides Hermione who want to help you in everything you do. Don't push them away; they're all loyal to you first and foremost even though they come from four different backgrounds. Second the demon hunter I told you about will be arriving in three weeks. Show him your plans and he'll probably have the piece to complete your formula that neither you nor Hermione will see until he points it out. Lastly, don't worry about the allies you've gathered or the Volturi. The allies you are gaining will help finish off the Volturi and the friends you make will help you when the next danger comes. You'll have a year of rest, so expect your senior year to be dull, and then the signs of what you need to stop will start showing themselves."

I blinked and said "So basically you're telling me that I wasn't just brought here to defeat the Volturi." She nodded and I sighed then said "I knew there was more to it than stopping a group of vampires intent on ruling the world. Next you be saying you have a friend named life and you're both planning on incarnating to fuck me." She just smiled which didn't bode well for me then motioned at her wrist as if to say look at the time before I woke up to my alarm clock screeching.

I sighed and shut it off mentally swearing at Death for keeping things in the dark then swore at myself for letting her get away with it. I sighed and took a much needed shower to clear my head realizing I had exams to take, and so did Hermione. I walked downstairs and made breakfast as Hermione came down wearing sweats. I raised an eyebrow and said "Going to school in that?" She nodded and I just shrugged deciding she obviously didn't want to make any of the boys curious about her during an important time in their education.

We got in my car and drove to school Hermione complaining about not having her own car. I told her we'd get her one as soon as the year was over and things worked out. If she aced the exams despite not studying most of these subjects at Hogwarts then I'd let her pick out her car. If not I was just going to get her something like my focus. Though I may just give her my focus and buy myself a mustang or viper. We arrived at school and saw the Cullens arrive in Emmett's jeep, Bella arrive in her truck, and everyone else arriving. We headed to our first class then I didn't see Hermione until it was time to leave.

We met up at the car after school and drove to the Cullens because Jasper and Alice said they wanted to hang out with us after school. I'd agreed and so had Hermione. When we got there Emmett pulled me into a bear hug making my spine crack and Hermione giggled at the look on my face. I glared at her and said "Laugh it up Mione, laugh it up. I bet Alice will love to give you one of her hugs as soon as she realizes you're here." True to my words Alice came out and hugged Mione then the two of us headed inside.

We hung with the Cullens for the rest of the day till Bella arrived and dragged me off to dinner with her dad. I left my keys with Hermione since Bella said Charlie wanted me to stay the night and the rest of the day passed rather uneventfully.

The next day we repeated things although this time I rode to school with Bella instead of driving myself and Hermione. When we arrived I was tackled by Alice who said she couldn't believe I left without saying bye. I went through my classes then told everyone me and Hermione would be busy with the Quiluetes today so they all agreed we'd hang out after classes were over. They also all agreed to come to the ceremony making me an official member of the Quileute tribe. Bella was excited, so was Hermione, the Cullens much less so.

Hermione and I drove down to the Res with Bella then spent the day hanging out with Jacob, Seth, Leah, and Quil. Seth stayed close to Hermione so did Jacob. I smirked realizing both were smitten with my little bookworm roommate. I wondered what she'd say if I told her about this and realized she'd probably blow it off like she did most guys liking her. The only reason she and Ron had gotten together was because the git had coerced her into it by saying he loved her when really he just wanted to get into her nickers.

After our day with the Quileutes we headed home and crashed on the couch working on the serum. I was counting the days till the demon hunter came through town, knowing that Death had been right and Hermione and I were missing something that seemed obvious but I just couldn't tell what. We had all the potion ingredients we'd need, since I'd brought a trunk full of them with me, and I'd found substitutes for many of them here in Forks.

After the study session we went upstairs and passed out in our own rooms. I didn't even manage to strip to my boxers this time with how tired I was. I didn't dream of death anymore instead I dreamed of someone else. A girl with mysterious eyes who watched as her home burned and her people were decimated. I wondered who she was and if that's what would happen to the Quileutes if I didn't stop the Volturi.

The rest of the week passed by quickly until finally it was Saturday the day of my joining the tribe and the pack. I blinked as the day passed quickly with me being measured for my ceremonial gear. Hanging out with the boys and the girls hanging out amongst themselves, even the Cullens were there. Carlisle was talking with the elders, and the younger boys, like Jasper and Emmett, were hanging out with me and the Quileute boys. Eventually the day drew to a close and the ceremony started.

Old Quil passed a peace pipe around which we all inhaled from then breathed out. I enjoyed the feeling of the weed filling my lungs and the visions of people past filling my mind. I noticed Hermione and most of the girls didn't partake of the weed, nor did the Cullens since they didn't have to breathe but I noticed a marked effect on the boys as we continued passing it along. Eventually everyone was high off their rocker and the spirits were dancing around the fire. Slowly old Quil started chanting in the old language of his people which I realized I would have to learn as they were becoming my people, more so than the wizards had ever been.

Finally he finished and said "Now I call Harry Potter to stand before the council and the spirits. I ask him to give his reason for becoming a member of this tribe then ask for those that will stand with him as a brother." I stood up and slowly explained how I would protect the tribe with my life. I explained how I'd already negotiated an alliance between the tribe's protectors and those who would be their allies who were once their enemies known as the cold ones. Afterward all the tribe stood with me, all except Leah who whispered something to Quil who nodded and said "So you will stand as this man's brother. You will bring him honor so long as he honors the tribe. You will defend him and he will defend you. Do you accept this man as your family and choose to defend him with your lives as he would you with his?"

They all said aye and I smiled then bowed as Old Quil put the ceremonial headdress over my shoulders and onto my head then accepted me into the tribe. After that the night devolved into the older people going off to talk amongst themselves leaving the younger of us to party. I smiled and accepted everything as a part of my life then as the night ended I went home with Mione driving and crawled into bed wondering what would happen tomorrow when I had a clear head and I found out why Leah wouldn't stand with me. It was obviously something important, but I just couldn't figure out what. As I fell asleep I dreamed of the girl who watched her world burn yet again, never knowing she was getting closer every day.

There we go, Chapter 7. While I'm working on this since I get moments where inspiration dies I've decided to start another story that some of you may have noticed. That said a few notes on this chapter, this is the longest it took me to write because I just could not decide how I wanted Herimone to act toward Harry's idea to change the vampires using Magic and Science. Yes that's write if you read all the way through Harry plans on changing the vampires, why because he feels bad for those that want a somewhat normal life. Examples Rose and Esme who both seemed to want children when you think about it. All that said I know there's going to be people who hate the idea but all I can say is "LET ME WORK IT OUT BEFORE YOU START HATING!" I know Meyers never intended for the vampires to be more than sparkly toys, but really I'm just turning them into non sparkly vampires that can reproduce, is that so bad? Some of you are probably screaming yes, well to bad *sticks out tongue* my muse and I have argued long and hard about this and she won. We will be turning some of the vampires into Immortals as Harry will see them, who are really jut like the vampires from the harry potter world and some fiction. Anyway all that said I'm out talk to you next time Later.
P.S. Like or Hate it I don't know what you think without your reviews.
