I am sorry that I did not update last night. I was simply too tired. I hate work…lol
Animagus mind reading: how else would they be able to communicate? The muraders did it all through Hogwarts so my twist is, if you are or have magical blood in any shape or form an Animagus will be able to read your thoughts in Animagus form
Chapter 10 a book with a few visitors"I got to make Charlie dinner do you want to join us?" Bella asked as we walked to our cars.
I was still stuck with my rental that stood out like a shiny sore thumb.
"Not tonight. I still have some unpacking to do and I promised I would talk to Hermione and everyone today so I'll be busy for a while. Maybe tomorrow." I added with a smile as I opened my car door the annoying dinging filled the background.
"Sure… tomorrow." She said with a little sad smile as she climbed into her truck.
"I'll see you in the morning?" I asked through the window.
"Yeah." She sounded deflated as she sat in the drivers seat with her legs dangling.
"I'll see if I can still make it to dinner but I'm not going to make any promises." I said walking around my car to her truck.
"Oh you don't have to do that…" she said not really sounding like she meant it.
"I'll try." I said with a smile before kissing her cheek, making her blush a deep tomato red.
I laughed as I walked back to my car.
"What time should Charlie be home?" I asked.
"Between seven and eight." She said swinging her legs into the truck.
"I'll try my best to get everything done by then." I said climbing into the rental.
She looked away but I could see a smile on her face. Yes, I would try my damndest.
She followed me until she reached her house I honked my horn and waved at her before continuing to my house.
Once inside my kitchen I fixed a bowl of mac and cheese. I wasn't really that hungry but in case I was still going to Bella's I was going to eat light.
Grabbing a can of soda I made my way upstairs. I really did have unpacking I still had to do. I entered the old study where I had placed the single box of books. It looked innocent enough but I knew that every book in the box had been shrunk and packed by Hermione herself.
I sat at the oak desk and ate my mac and cheese before daring to try it. After I was finished I pulled my wand out and flicked it. Hundreds of miniature books flew to the shelves. The walls had inset shelves and they were full with a stack of about twenty books that had not been able to fit on the shelves.
"Merlin's mistress… Hermione went mental…" I muttered as I sat the stack of books next to the oak desk.
"Accio Vampire Cultures Through the Ages." I said with a swish of my wand. Sure enough a small book came flying from one of the top shelves and landed on the desk with a soft thud.
About that time I heard a whistle of wind. Without looking around I smiles.
"Hey Edward."
"How'd you know I was here?" he asked skeptically.
I had to roll my eyes. "Wizard remember?"
"Oh… yeah… sorry. Not being able to hear you ought to remind me of that but… Bella isn't a witch so… I think it throws me off." He was rambling.
Every girl in school would kill to be me now. Ha!
"Here's the book." I said enlarging the book to it's normal size.
"Thanks… and I see what you meant by the smell. The combination is really… odd."
"Do I need to cast a scent blocking charm here too?" I asked with a smile as I leaned on the oak desk.
"You don't have to but I'm not sure how your wolf will feel if he can smell me here…" he smiled. My wolf… it sent shivers down my back.
I leaned back to grab my wand and flicked it softly before leaning back forward. Edward looked really relaxed.
"You know. I could cast one on Bella for you…" I offered offhandedly.
"That's nice of you but I need to smell her. It's like a drug to me." He said sheepishly.
"Okay but if you have black eyes in school I am with or without you telling me to. No need to test your restraint in a school full of innocent kids right?"
"Right. Er… well thank you for the book. I'll get it back to you tomorrow morning." He said.
"No need to return it. Hermione has like twelve copies. We had to have them last year for one of our classes and well… no one wanted to keep them and you don't throw away books with Hermione around and live to tell the tell."
"If your sure…" he started.
"I am. And feel free to prowl through my other books any time. Just let me know which ones you took to read." I said with a smile.
"Okay. Well I need to get back Carlisle wants to speak to me about something."
"Okay see you in the morning." I said and with a breeze he was gone through the picture window.
I walked to my room and pulled out a large case from under my bed. I hadn't played in a while and my fingers were itching for me to. I walked back to the study and sat on the desk Indian style. Hehehe Indian style… Jacob…
I strummed the stings on the guitar for a while before picking a random song. I sang quietly along with my strumming.
I smiled when I heard the flames of the fireplace roar to life. I knew that I couldn't stay for very long without a visit.
I sat the guitar down before looking up at my godfathers.
"Hey Sirius, Remus. Feeling better?" I asked with such innocence even Remus snorted at me.
Sirius was steaming. I could see it. His neck was red so was his ears.
"Let me explain before you give me the third degree…" I waited for him to nod. He did so reluctantly with his eyes turned to slits. "I needed to get away. The same as you guys did. Only mine needed to be longer then two weeks. I couldn't leave the house without being attacked. Girls, press, and deatheaters, you name it. I needed to get away. And this is one of the least suspecting places. It is a magical cold spot to Wizard Loudon. I am happy." I knew ending with that was low but Merlin's balls I am.
I visibly saw the irritation fade from Sirius when I said I was happy.
"You could have at least owled us. We got back last night to an empty house. All of your stuff was gone. I… I was scared shitless." Sirius said.
"Your scent blocking charm is up… why?" trust Remus to notice that.
"Too many grumpy wolves and vampires around here." I said with a smirk lecture here we come…
"VAMPIRES? BLOODY VAMPIRES! HOW COULD YOU LET YOURSELF BE IN THAT KIND OF DANGER!" it went on for a while before I placed my hand over Remus' ranting mouth.
"They are vegetarians. Only animal. They have sodding goldy topaz eyes." I felt like I was begging.
Remus' anger seemed to deflate. "Topaz eyes?" he asked confused.
"yes." I breathed.
Sirius didn't say a word. I feared he was upset with me but when he saw me looking at him he flashed me a smile and a wink.
Remus was silent for a while before he collapsed into one of the chairs by the fire.
Sirius smiled at Remus before looking back at me.
"so… wolves? As in werewolves?" he asked making Remus jump up on his hackles once more.
"I don't think so. He said he was born that way. Not bitten."
"Not bitten… I've never…" he muttered before falling back into the chair. Sirius seemed quite amused by his mate but said nothing.
"A person who is born a child of the moon and not bitten is something Remus has never come across…" Sirius explained as he sat across from his worrying mate.
"You'll like him." I said confidently this seemed to peak his interest once more.
"You intend on letting us meet him?" Remus asked softly.
"Why wouldn't I? He's a friend and you two are family." I answered incredulously. "I mean you'll meet him wont you?" I asked suddenly wary.
"If you want us to then yes we will meet him." Sirius answered for the two of them.
"How long will you be here?"
"As long as you need or want us here."
I looked at the clock. Bella was cooking; Charlie would be home in about half an hour.
"Would you mind joining me at a friends for dinner?" I asked with a smile.
"The vampires or the wolves?"
"The muggle."
"Merlin's queer uncle…" Remus muttered with a sigh as Sirius snorted.
"let me call her…" I said smiling before running to the kitchen.
I dialed Bella's house number.
She answered on the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bella."
"Harry! Are you coming?"
"If you can spare some food for my godfather's."
"Sure, sure. Jake is coming too, with Billy. So there's more then enough food. Charlie got off early to go pick them up."
"Okay. We'll be over in a few."
"Alright see you then."
The line went dead.
I turned to yell at them and was face to face with them.
"holy shit. Don't do that."
"sorry cub." Remus said smiling now.
"you get to meet the wolf at dinner. Just please behave." I said looking at the two matching smirks. "This will be Jacob and Billy Black and Bella and Charlie Swan."
"Black?!" Sirius squeaked in a voice that sounded nothing like him.
"family of yours?" Remus asked curious now.
"I haven't the foggiest but if they are I don't know how they became wolves…"
