Chapter Ten- The New Arrivals

It was the day of Terry's and Blaise's arrival and Harry and Luna were sitting on the couch, side by side, reading. Harry was reading Luna's book on Vampires but had skipped all the way to the back where he found a section on Vampire's ability to become an animagus.

"Luna, did you know that magical vampires can change into two different animagus forms?"

"No I didn't… Wait. Did you skip chapters? Cause that is the very last one."

Harry looked guiltily around himself and heard Luna sigh.

"Let me guess. You were reading from the beginning but then got bored. Then you looked at the table of contents and saw Vampire Animagus. Now that you've seen it, you go to that chapter and start reading where you see the instructions on how to discover the forms and now… You want to try it. Am I right?"

"…Maybe."

"What does it say to do?" Luna couldn't help but be curious too.

They practiced the spell without their wands and reading over the instructions. It was complex but was supposed to be easier than when human wizards attempt it, as they always had to make a potion as well as do the spell. The spell had complex words twisted around together and had a lot of wand movements. They practiced each separately and after three hours, they finally perfected it and Luna was to go first.

She started the wand movements and while continuing them, she started repeating the phrase,

"Mutare ad bestias, mutare ad bestias, mutare ad bestias"

A glow appeared around her before she disappeared and a white hare was in her place. It had the same eye color and a little marking above her nose. The hare tentatively began to hop and, once she got used to it, began to hop faster and faster around the yard. The hare went back to Harry and twitched its nose causing Harry's face to break into a smile, emerald eyes twinkling. A small glow appeared before it switched back to a human Luna. She took a few minutes of breathing before she concentrated again and turned into another different animal that was a bald eagle. Her two forms were completely different but they both fit her personality. After a bit of flying around, Luna changed back into her human form.

"That was so cool. When I was in the air and the wind was flowing with my wings, I felt like I was coming home. It was incredible."

Now it was Harry's turn.

He did the same steps as Luna and his first transformation was a completely black leopard with the same emerald green eyes as his own. He spent a little time in this form before he changed into his last.

Harry concentrated real hard and the glow appeared, nearly blinding this time. Luna stared in awe at the beautiful animal that took his place. The animal has pure white fur with brown eyes that have a bit of Harry's green in them. He was an arctic wolf and Luna thought that he was the most beautiful animal ever. She changed into a hare and for the rest of time they had, they ran around in the yard. It was a good thing that there was no one around to see two flashes of white dash around the yard, playing happily together.

They got out of their forms and both were a little bit breathless but had big grins on their faces. They went inside and Harry just happened to glance at the clock and cursed.

"LUNA! We have to go! We have thirty minutes to get to the airport!"

The twins tumbled into Luna's car and drove to airport, completely disregarding the speed limits. Strangely, no one noticed the car hastily passing them.

When the two arrived, they walked to the terminal where Blaise and Terry were coming from. Harry and Luna stood in the same spot in the airport as Sam had when he had picked them up, waiting for the other two to arrive. They had arrived just in time and soon enough, they saw two guys; one with brown hair, green eyes and pale skin and the other had a chocolate toned skin, hazel eyes and angled ears. They walked towards the siblings, side by side. One had a friendly smile on and the other had a small quirk of the lips before his face went blank and a little dog in a carrier by his side. They all greeted each other and Luna cooed over Ari before Harry led them to his car and the new arrivals put their luggage in the trunk. The ride to the house was filled with small talk and small silences. They discussed everything: from the new house to the twin's animagus forms to the new school to the new people to new discoveries. Luna poked fun at Blaise's ears causing him to glare at her and absently pat Ari on the head. Harry told the two about the Cullen's with a small wistful smile on his face. Blaise snorted and looked out the window with a tiny smile when he saw Harry glare at him half-heartedly. It seemed Blaise was over him a bit.

"Which one caught your attention, Harry?" Asked Terry, after sending Blaise a look.

"The only single one out of the five. Edward. He has the nicest eyes, hair… Body…" Harry trailed of gazing dreamily in front of him and despite his lack of attention on the road, he managed to stay on route.

"Have you tried anything yet?"

"Well, I did kiss him. Once. Now the ball is in his court. He needs to make the next move. I showed how I felt towards him and now, he should tell how he feels about me." Harry stated sadly, not noticing the confused glances that the other three gave each other. Luna, Terry and Blaise all stared at him with questioning gazes. Feeling the weight of the looks, Harry turned to them and saw that the three faces had the same expression. He snorted and turned back to face the road.

"Muggle expression."

Small talk was made for the rest of the trip and two people kept thinking about how that muggle expression was relevant to the conversation but then they finally realized it.

About ten minutes later, they arrived and Blaise and Terry stared at the house and its surroundings. The first one to get out of the car once the doors were opened was Ari and she just ran to the grass and promptly did her business. The four still in the car just laughed as they stepped out of the car and onto the pavement of the driveway. The dog rushed to Blaise's side and he smiled fondly down at her.

Harry opened the front door and ushered the three inside. Blaise grinned approvingly at the surroundings, noticing quite a bit of green in the color scheme. He just ignored the blue. The twins gave Blaise and Terry the grand tour and finally showed them their own rooms. Harry told them everything that he remembered and Luna told them everything that he left out. The two left them and they could hear the others argue over who was going to have which bedroom. Harry and Luna both smirked when they heard a thump.

They decided to make dinner although Harry made most of it, as Luna wanted to make freshwater plimpy soup. Harry didn't know what a plimpy was and he most certainly didn't want to eat one. He called the others to the table where they enjoyed Harry's Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. Terry took a small bite and almost moaned aloud as the taste of blood filled his mouth. He closed his eyes and simply enjoyed the taste. He eyes opened to see the three other people looking at him with amusement rolling off of them.

"What? It's delicious." He said defensively

"Thank you Terry. Glad you enjoyed it." Harry assumed

Blaise interrupted.

"So, I was thinking I might go back to school with you guys. It would be interesting to see what muggles are teaching these days. Do you know how I can register?"

"Well, we're going there Monday. You can come with us and ask the office. I'll send a letter to Dumbledore so that he can send a transcript to the school," Answered Luna. "What are you going to do, Terry?"

He thought for a bit.

"I think I'm just going to get a full-time job somewhere. I really don't want to deal with homework."

Harry rolled his eyes

"It's not that bad. Most of the stuff we learn is actually quite interesting."

Terry gave him a blank look and continued to eat. Luna looked at him.

"Aren't you a Ravenclaw? And isn't Blaise a Slytherin? Shouldn't your two roles be reversed? Blaise should be the one wanting to go to work, not you."

"I already know what I need to know." Terry simply said which stated clearly that he didn't want to discuss this.

A small whine was heard and the group all turned around to see Ari looking at them with begging eyes. Blaise thumped his head at remembering that he forgot to feed her and he quickly got the food dish from his room and put it beside the end of the counter where he filled the dish. He went back to sit at the table to finish the meal as if nothing had interrupted.

Harry suddenly straightened his back, having realized something.

"By the way, we've been invited to a friends house for a small party tomorrow. You guys are able to come right? It's at eight."

Terry looked at Blaise who just shrugged.

"Sure we'd love to."

With that, dishes were placed into the dishwasher which the two new arrivals had trouble figuring out. Harry kindly took the plates away from them and put them in himself while Luna just looked at them smugly. The two snorted and walked to their rooms to change into something more comfortable.

The rest of the evening was spent with the group playing games and watching a movie. Blaise was going to go to sleep when he decided to ask Harry a question.

"I'm just wondering… Where is the party being held?"

"The La Push Reservation."

AN: This chapter… It is absolutely horrible. It's definitely not one of my best. It just didn't want to come, at al… It took longer than I would've liked but at least it's done. Sorry it sucks and also kind of rushed and really short. I think I might do two or three more chapters. Haven't decided how I'm going to end this yet. Please review. It would be greatly appreciated…
