Hey Readers,
Here is the next chapter. A big thanks to everyone who added this story as a favourite. Please feel free to review and let me know what you think.
Harry Potter
Harry stropped down into the lounge room in a pair of faded jeans and a red jacket, where the twins were waiting with smug expressions.
"Well, are you ready muggle?" Fred giggled holding out a black backpack.
Harry eyed the plain bag suspiciously; it looked like an average bag, it had two large zips with two straps for his arms – otherwise that was it. Even though he trusted the two men in front of him, they were also the ranking pranksters while Harry was at Hogwarts. He learned early on that if you don't want to be a walking laughing stock you'd better keep your eyes open.
"What is that?" Harry sighed, quirking an eyebrow at the troublesome duo.
"…it's a backpack Harry..." George remarked sarcastically, as though it should have been rather obvious what Fred was giving him.
Harry rolled his eyes at the twins waiting for them to continue.
"Okay, calm down Mr Saviour. We knew that you wouldn't have a backpack to take for classes so we took the liberty." Fred grinned as Harry awkwardly reached out for it.
"Did you do anything to it? Cause I feel I should remind you that you're dragging me into a muggle school. The last thing we would want is to get noticed by the town because you turned the school headmaster into…an emu or something."
"…Emu?" George muttered looking perplexed for a second.
"What an interesting idea, young Harry." Fred cheered happily, his face lighting up like a Christmas tree at the possibilities as George nodded in agreement.
"A whole new range of Weasley Wheezes…" George grinned.
"...bag weaponry…perhaps an explodable bag that could transfigure victims in its radius into emus…" Fred added with glee
"…or even partial transfiguration – feathers, beaks or just the legs would be interesting…"
Harry watched the twins go backwards and forwards as they furthered their impromptu brainstorming session, each getting more and more excited. When they added the idea of emu eggs into their prank, Harry cleared his throat loudly in hopes of distracting them for the moment.
"So are you two going in that?" Harry pointed at their chosen clothing, not quite sure what to make of it. Fred and George while never getting high marks in academics were exceptionally intelligent when they were able to focus that into something they were passionate about. It was because of this that Harry found himself confused at their chosen getup; the twins were wearing a set of dragonhide boots and matching dragonhide coats with dark blue jeans and yellow shirts that clashed horribly with their bright red hair.
"Of course Harry. Wearing dragonhide helps keep us protected against some curses, hexes and even general harm. We'd be pathetic guardians if we weren't able to protect you because we were easily taken out."
"George is right mate. You know, mum wanted us to put you into dragonhide armour but considering you have to blend in more than us, McGonagall shot that idea down."
Harry was secretly glad that McGonagall decided to step in for him. While the dark red, scaly armour did look impressive it also looked rather uncomfortable and would be a complete eyesore in muggle society; one of the big reasons Harry was concerned that the twins were about to walk him to school in it.
"…err…right." Harry groaned as he realised that he wouldn't be able to talk them out of their wizarding attire.
"Right well let's go." Fred declared as he spun around and headed out the door leaving George and Harry to follow after him.
Harry swung his heavy schoolbag onto his shoulder and shuffled after the two Weasley twins. Instead of following the road nearest their house towards town and the school, the twins lead him further into the forest. When he asked where they were going all he got in reply was a deep chuckle from one of them. Reluctantly he gave into his fate and followed behind them while they discussed the negative side effects of undiluted bubotuber pus. The forest wasn't anything like the one at Hogwarts but perhaps that was probably for the best; the Forbidden Forest was massive and filled with creatures most of which were dangerous and it was almost pitch black inside requiring the use of a lumos spell. This forest was lit well enough given the high canopy above their heads and the most dangerous thing Harry came across was a boulder and a fallen tree.
After fifteen minutes of trudging through the forest they finally emerged at the other end of it opposite a set of large white buildings with a faded brown sign out the front.
FORKS HIGH SCHOOL
HOME OF THE SPARTANS
"What is a Spartan?" George asked
Harry couldn't help giggling at the two who had launched into a debate of the possibilities of a Spartan either being a form of fungus or a deadly creature. While their ideas got more outrageous Harry watched students jump out of cars and walk in; judging from the size of the school and the amount of students heading in, it wasn't a big school especially in comparison to Hogwarts.
"…if it can't breathe fire or something then why do they feel the need to have a warning out the front?" George argued brandishing his arm lazily towards the sign.
"Anyway… Harry everything you need is in your bag and McGonagall organised everything at the school so don't worry. You've been admitted under the name James Evans so just head to the front office and get yourself fixed up." Fred explained giving Harry a warm smile.
"OH! I almost forgot…" George exclaimed as he pulled a large bundle of leather from his jacket pocket and gave it to Harry.
"This is a birthday present from us…" Fred gave Harry a warm smile their previous talk on Spartans gone.
"…yeah, we wanted to get you something useful…"
"…so we bought you a wand holster." Fred finished.
"We just got you the normal one that you know goes around your hips but it's been enchanted with several disillusionment charms so nobody will be able to notice it and you'll be able to protect yourself better." George proclaimed smirking as Harry inspected his gift.
Harry unfurled it and felt the leathery belt in his hand; it seemed warm to the touch almost as if it radiated heat from its core. He secured the belt around his waist and repositioned his wand from its hidden place into its new home.
"How's it feel Harry?" Fred asked.
"Great actually. It's almost like I can't feel I'm wearing it at all." Harry answered before reaching out and hugging his friends for their gift.
"It may have been upgraded a couple of times with some bonus…features." Fred winked as he struggled to find the right word, making Harry laugh.
"You'd better hurry Harry. We'll be waiting here to escort ya back…so see you soon mate." George said as he started to push Harry towards the school.
George Weasley
George watched as Harry crossed the road and joined the small crowd of students that swarmed up to the building. Once Harry was out of sight George let out a large sigh of relief.
"Okay we should get going I spose." George said clapping his hands together.
"Yeah, so did you remember to bring the potion?" Fred asked as he went behind a nearby bush to retrieve a bright pink bag they had stashed there earlier.
"I won't even dignify that with a response." George huffed as he pulled a small black thermos from his pocket and handed it to his brother. "Remember to keep drinking or it won't last..." George warned although they both knew the benefits and limitations of their plan.
"I'll be fine but you'd better be going yourself. We'll see ya here later." Fred promised as he gave his brother a one armed hug. They had always been close but since the war got more serious and more of their friends and family were added to the victims list, they'd become more grateful for each other. George watched as Fred put the small neon pink bag on and strode across the road after Harry.
Jasper Cullen
Finally the day was upon them, the first day at school and their first chance to get intelligence on Harry. Jasper had feared this day immensely for several reasons but the biggest seemed to be contained in the angry form of his blonde sister. Rosalie had been furious that they were considering a small human child a threat, especially one who proved unable to protect himself from a mangy wolf; judging by the emotions rolling off Rosalie and the look on Edward's face this morning, Jasper knew that today was going to be interesting.
Thankfully the previous night they had worked on a basic plan, which involved Rosalie and Alice working together and the boys to themselves. Without a doubt Jasper would have preferred to be working with his little seer however he was just happy to be away from Rosalie and her temperamental emotions.
After saying a quick farewell to Esme and Carlisle the girls jumped into Alice's Volvo C30 and took off towards school; watching the silver car swerve wildly around the corner made Jasper promise himself that if Rosalie hurt Alice or a human with her crazy driving he would make her regret it. Jasper jumped into the back of Edwards black Volvo XC60 where Emmett and Edward where waiting for him and took off on the trail of Alice's car.
"Any reason why Alice let Rose drive?" Emmett chuckled looking back at Jasper.
"Rosalie asked to." Jasper shrugged, knowing it was a poor reason.
"She better be careful, Alice's nice personality is gonna get her in trouble…" He muttered as he dazed out the window.
Jasper knew all too well how Alice's heart seems to continuously get her in tough situations; over a century ago, while she was still human she warned her friend and cousin of an upcoming danger and when it came true she was blamed for cursing them and was punished cruelly. While Alice never went into detail about the event he knew enough that made him fly into a rage when he thought too much on it, she was a beautiful person inside and out and didn't deserve what she got for trying to save her loved ones.
A bump in the road drew his attention back to the car and out of his head; Jasper looked out the window to see they were slowing down as they had finally arrived in town.
"So what's the plan with four eyes?" Emmett said excitedly. "I was thinking that..." He started before being cut off.
"No." Edward smirked.
"Oh come on Eddy, it could be awesome!" Emmett bellowed pumping his fist into the air
"Emmett for the last time it's illegal" Edward chuckled at the child-like pout on Emmett's face, Jasper just smiled seeing the humour in the situation; to him he kind of resembled the large seven year old Jasper had seen last week at the local store, who was told by their mother that they weren't going to buy him any chocolates because of his diet.
"I've said it once and I'll say it again…your mind reading can really suck the fun out of things." Emmett crossed his large arms over his chest causing Jasper to mimic Edward's chuckle as his brother unwittingly strengthened the image in Jasper's mind.
"How about we just wing it, then?" Emmett suggested as they drove into the school's carpark.
Jasper wasn't sure about that, after his last interaction with the green eyed teen he didn't think that improvising was the best idea but was overruled by Edward's uncaring shrug.
"I spose so, that allows us to just go along with the situation. If he acts defensively towards us we'll be better off without trying to stick to a failing plan." Edward said as he drove into a park and shut off the engine.
They left the car and joined the girls that were waiting for them by the school entrance. Walking to home room was filled with the normal stares from the student and even staff body; Jasper hated it immensely not only was he still fairly new with being a vegan vampire but the hormone enraged emotions coming from his fellow students always left him reeling. He had to remember to thank Alice in private for convincing him to bring a water bottle filled with bear blood with him today; it would curb his hunger if anything got to bad and help keep the influx of emotions under acceptable limits.
With Alice and Emmett by his side Jasper slide into his home room early and took a seat at the very back of the class. Even though his wife and brother didn't enjoy coming to classes early it was important for him; dealing with the students coming in one at a time rather than dealing with their scents and emotions all at once was safer for everyone.
Harry Potter
Harry read his new timetable repeatedly as he grinded his teeth in frustration; it appeared that McGonagall had signed him up for Trigonometry, English, Chemistry, Gym, Government and Spanish classes. These subjects he had either zero or little understanding of and if pressured by his teacher he would have to come up with a convincing reason as to why.
Checking out his first class he discovered that he was expected in his home room five minutes ago. He swore under his breath and started jogging towards building two, after all Hermione would kill him if he was late for his first class. He wouldn't have been late at all if the school secretary, Miss Cope, hadn't kept him in her small waiting room for so long while she completed his enrolment. Even though it was probably only about half an hour that she kept him waiting, he almost fell asleep; the small room was rather dull, filled only with a couple of folding chairs and a bulletin board and coupled with the droning ticking clock on the wall, Harry had to pinch himself to keep awake.
He finally reached the room and opened the door, sticking his head in. The room was filled with three rows of desks each filled with a slumbering or distracted student, with multi-coloured posters clinging to the walls around the room.
"Can I help you?" A tall, balding man at the front of the class asked looking bewildered at Harry.
"Err…yep." Harry simply replied as he walked into the room and presented the teacher with his new timetable.
"Well hello Mr Evans. My name is Mr Mason." He smiled as he handed back Harry's timetable.
As Harry moved through the sea of desks and intrigued faces staring at him a slight cough drew his attention back to Mr Mason.
"Just wait a second if you please. This is our new student Mr James Evans, I'm sure you'll all welcome him warmly to our school." Mr Mason gestured towards a spare desk in the front of the class for Harry to take.
While Mr Mason started reviewing the school rules and guidelines for the new year, Harry could feel several pairs of eyes on him. Harry had hoped that the only benefit to going to a muggle school would be no attention for being 'the saviour', now it turns out he'll get attention for being 'the new kid'. As a shiver ran across his body Harry turned around and gasped at the boy sitting at the back of the class. It was that boy Jasper, from before the wolf attack. He glared warningly into the strange boy's golden eyes before turning back around to face the board. There was no way that he was human, his memory wasn't perfect yet but it was slowly coming back to him and from what he could remember and judging from the boy's eyes he was magical in some way.
Harry spent the rest of home room and his first few classes, keeping his head down and trying to ignore the stares that were fixed to him. Unluckily for Harry it seemed that Jasper was in every single one of his classes so far and wouldn't stop staring at him, it made Harry feel like the last donut in a packed police department. As soon as the bell sounded for the end of fourth period Harry quickly stuffed his still blank notebook into his bag and practically ran out of the class.
He slung his bag on and headed for the cafeteria. Being one of the first to arrive he was able to quickly collect his food and take his seat in the back corner of the room where he hoped to be less conspicuous. Harry grabbed his fork and began moving the food around on his plate as he let his mind wander; he considered the news the twins had brought him about Hagrid and Fleur. Hagrid was his first friend in both the muggle and wizarding worlds mainly due to the Dursleys influence. Nobody in school or the neighbourhood wanted to even talk to him let alone be his friend, then on his eleventh birthday Hagrid strode into his life and treated him as if he was worth something. For the first time ever he wasn't a freak, house slave or trash. The half giant wanted to get to know Harry and spent time with him and over the years become a member of Harry's mixed family. Now though, Hagrid was gone. Yet another member of his family had died because of this stupid war and without Harry getting the chance to tell him what he had meant to him. Harry could feel his eyes well up and considered faking sick and walking home when a short girl with messy brown piggy tails skipped over to his table.
"Heya Harry." The small girl said in a deep husky voice while giving Harry a rather mischievous grin.
Harry did a double take by the manly voice emanating from the tiny girl in front of him, until it struck him where he'd heard that voice before.
"George? Fred?" Harry whispered eyeing the girl closely.
"It's Fred." The twin squeaked indignity putting on his best girly voice, her hand clutching her heart as if to keep it from breaking. "Honestly Harry your worse than Mum, she could never tell us apart either."
Harry felt the need to point out that he was generally good at knowing which twin was which; after all he hardly could be faulted for not knowing now. As Fred took a seat next to him a worry bubbled up into Harry's mind about the twins plan.
"Umm…dare I ask what happened too...the real muggle?" Harry couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern for the girl. The twins would never injure an innocent person…at least not deliberately however they weren't always the best judge of safety.
"Oh well, her…or should I say my name is Megan Richardson and she's fine. We borrowed some muggle hairs this morning from students and teachers at the school so we could keep a better eye on you during the week days." Fred said as he pushed his rectangular glasses up his new bulbous nose that really seemed out of place on the poor girls face.
"Which one is George then?" Harry looked around at the students who had come dribbling in for food trying to see a hint of any strange behaviour as his eyes settled on the old lunch lady who was balancing four trays of food in her hands.
"Not at all. Although I can see why you thought that, George does like delve into his polyjuice characters a bit." Fred laughed heartedly causing the girl's entire body to shake. "But he isn't here today, he's busy setting up. Perhaps I should suggest…" Fred trailed off as he took a huge bite of his burger causing ketchup to cover Megan's face.
"I don't spose you'll willingly tell me what he is setting up?" Harry was hopeful that whatever it was would either get him out of school or at least give him a laugh.
"Bloody hell! How can anyone get used to these metal things on their face, they dig painfully into my nose." Fred complained as he rubbed his nose, effectively changed the subject.
Harry just smirked at Fred as they returned to their food. He used this time to take a good look at Fred's new appearance; the girl was short and skinny with a dark brown eyes and a smattering of pimples under her large glasses and a few on her chin. She was wearing a short green skirt and a pink shirt.
"So, how does it feel to be wearing a skirt?" Harry smiled innocently as he shoved some pasta into his mouth enjoying the brief startled look on Fred/Megan's face.
"Harry you make it sound like this is the first time I've worn one." Fred winked. "Too be honest we used polyjuice potion at lot at school for reconnaissance, it would kinda give things away if a girl was suddenly walking around in Fred Weasley's clothes don't you think."
He had to agree but giggled at the thought to the twins walking around like that without anyone being the wiser. Harry was too distracted to notice that a large bulky teen had walked up to them and until he cleared this throat didn't realise that he was standing behind them.
"Hey. Do you mind if I take a seat?" The hulk of a student took a seat at their table anyway without waiting for their response. Going from the off look in Fred's now brown eyes, he was also surprised by the new addition to their group.
"My names Emmett and your Harry right?" He flung his paw like hand out as he introduced himself but Harry didn't take it. Instead he looked closer at Emmett; his pale skin and golden eyes were enough for Harry to make the jump, after all there was no way he could know his real name.
"Let me guess your Jasper's brother?" Harry kept his tone cold and rigid.
"Err…how'd you know that?" Emmett eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously shocked that Harry knew that already.
"It's the eyes. Humans do not have yellow or golden eyes. Yet both you and Jasper do…strange wouldn't you say Megan?" Harry turned to Fred but he didn't respond he was just staring at Emmett. While they didn't move Emmett had other plans, he put his hands on the table and pushed himself up as if he was trying to intimidate them.
"You need to keep your voice down." Emmett growled. Harry could feel a twinge of magic ripple through the air but quickly dismissed it, it wasn't coming from Emmett or directed at them so right now it wasn't important.
"I think it's time to leave, don't you James?" Fred said interrupting their staring contest and moving up from the table.
Instead of answering Fred's question, Harry slowly rose from the table and stood next to his friend. He was expecting Emmett to say something or at least attempt to stop them however instead he was staring intently at the table trying to lift his hands from its surface. Harry could hear footsteps echo around the cafeteria spurring him into action. Grabbing Fred's hand, Harry took off towards the back of the room and out through one of the side doors. The last thing Harry heard from the cafeteria other than the whispering of students was a frustrated growl and a loud crash.
As they ran down the hill towards the front of the school, a girl appeared in front of them practically out of thin air as if she apparated. The girl was beautiful with long blonde hair and the same golden eyes as Emmett sent daggers at him.
"You're not getting past me." She whispered the venom clear in her voice.
Harry quickly reached for his wand with a stunning spell in his mind however Fred was faster. A flask flew through the air and landed at growling blonde's feet. From the second the glass shattered green smoke covered the angry girl and successfully blinding her. As Harry and Fred made their escape the only sound that followed them was a horrified scream. They sped up and continued towards the forest where they had originally bid farewell.
"What...w-as that?" Harry panted, holding onto his side.
"A little epoximise charm on the guy inside and I tried out a new potion." Fred huffed with a massive grin.
Harry looked in shock at Fred; the epoximise charm or otherwise known as the permanent sticking charm was powerful although as Fred had probably casted it wandlessly it wouldn't last long. Whereas the potion could have been anything knowing Fred, but the one thing he was sure of was that he doubted he made many friends at Forks High.
"You don't think it would be dangerous to use a spell like that in a room full of muggles?"
"Nar, besides did you look back at him?" Fred giggled at Harry but continued when Harry shook his head. "The big oaf looked at the table and his hands with huge bulging eyes…as though someone asked him a maths problem…" Fred cackled falling to the ground when his knees gave way.
Once Fred had calmed down enough to string more than three syllables together he stood up and dusted the dirt off his skirt.
"Come on, we should probably get back and work out our next move. It's not safe to linger out here, those two weren't alone." He said as they headed back into the safety of the forest.
"What do you mean?" Harry stuttered. The last thing he wanted was add to the number of people after him.
"Before I caught up with you for lunch I spent most of the day casting confundus charms at anyone who started to approach you. Some were just clueless muggles but the other 'gold eyes' were different. Your right Harry there is no chance they are muggle or even human."
They continued walking in silence as they worked through the events of the last few hours. He had been hoping that Jasper was the only one and after their disagreement he would have backed off…apparently not.
"You know what Harry I feel as though I should thank you." Fred grinned as he jumped over a moss covered tree stump.
"Why is that exactly?"
"One day here and we've already got epic plans for two new pranks…just wait until a month has passed." Fred beamed at him.
Hey All,
Next chapter is going to focus on the pack against Harry and the Weasley twins. I hope you all liked the story and feel free to review.
Thanks!
