Hey people, sorry it has taken so long to update. I have been busy with... life I guess. Lots of things have been coming up and I hope that now I will be able to get more of the plot going. Also I have very few pairing requests so I want to remind you that I have no plans for these people and I would really like at least Fred and George decided because I want to bring them in.

Disclaimer: you know I don't own it, so I don't think I need to say it

Warnings: depressing alone Harry/Alex :( and angsty Draco who is totally not helping. Finally hearing from people in the WW

Chapter 11:

I don't go home after running from the Cullen's house. I don't feel up to it. I can see them together and know what that they are together with their mates. It feels strange that it bothers me so much, but to know that I am the only one alone... I mean even though Draco's mate is dating that bint of a human girl, at least he still has a chance. that girl is human and worst comes to worst at least she won't live as long as they will and I have heard Edward telling her in whispers that he refuses to change her. I make myself go faster not really caring where I am headed, only that I get away from there. It's hard for me seeing what I could have, but is denied me. The broken fragmented space where my bond with my mate should be only remains as the frayed and broken thread that connects to nowhere... My thoughts could have continued down that depressing path, but I was distracted by a wolf.

An unnaturally large sandy coloured wolf looking remarkably like moony, only obviously not a werewolf and a full week before the full moon. We stand staring at each other not really sure what to do, this is no normal wolf and I have no idea how it will act... even a werewolf is predictable when you know that's what you are dealing with. Cautiously I move closer and let the wolf sniff me. The heavy breaths tickle my fingers and I smile for the first time in a while. I carefully stroke the wolfs fur ready for an attack at any second, but the animal is intelligent and seems to enjoy the attentions. We sit in the quiet comfortably against a tree and I tell the wolf about random things, mainly my childhood with the Dursleys and how they are dead now. He growls when I mention how they treated me, but I manage to leave out that I killed them, or that they killed me. I also didn't mention anything about magic, this may not be a normal wolf, but that doesn't mean that I can trust it with that information.

Once I am finished talking I feel better, even though the wolf hasn't said anything I feel a big weight lifted from me. For some time since we just sit in companionable silence. However I am surprised when I am suddenly set upon by an owl carrying letters for me.

The first surprised me. It was from Gringotts asking to arrange a time to come and view the vaults. There was a barely concealed anticipation in the letter leaving me curious as to what I would find in there. I'm not sure if that should be a good thing, because the Goblins sense of humour rarely means anything good for other people.

The next letter was from Andromeda. She explained how it was getting more and more difficult to keep up with Teddy, especially near the full moon... she wants me to take him... Pocketing the letter I say goodbye to the wolf and make my way home to make the arrangements.

It doesn't take long to set up a space for him, being able to move faster than humans. Although I don't have anything really for a baby Andy will be brining most of his things with her so I merely need to find the space for those things. I also take several days off school without telling anyone, they still don't know that Teddy is coming, it's not really their fault when they are shocked to see me with the boy when Andy drops him off. She couldn't hang about and was gone before any of the others got home and I was feeding him.

Draco stood staring in obvious shock mouth hanging wide open, while Lucius and Narcissa were as shocked they managed to keep their faces neutral. Lily and Sev didn't look that surprised, but it was hard to tell with them most of the time anyway.

"Who's the baby?" eventually Draco broke the silence.

"This is my godson, Teddy Remus Lupin."

"Remus had a son?" Lily asked shocked and I remember that she has been asleep for many years and hadn't heard much other than who had died.

"Yeah, actually he is related to Narcissa and Draco too, Andromeda's daughter Nymphadora (although she would kill me for saying her name) Tonks was his mother." I explain to the group who politely ignored Narcissas gasp and tear-filled eyes. No matter what she made the public think of her family was important and she hated that one of her sisters was shamed for marrying a man she loved. Bella was never the same when Andy left and drifted into insanity.

The family soon came to accept the little boy as one of their own, even though they were still unsure around each other, they managed to all help and care for Teddy.

Over the next few days most of my time was getting Teddy settled. I was grateful to the fact that I don't need sleep (at least not very often) because it was really close to the full moon and the wolf blood in Teddy is making him agitated and restless. He stays up most of the night and sleeps a lot during the day while he is awake though he fusses and gets bitey he also likes to change his looks more than usual. His hair changes to almost any colour he can see in the span of several minutes, and although it seems a good way for him to get a handle on his abilities at a young age it is also a sign that he is stressed. Unexpectedly the answer came from the vampires. They had been concerned that I hadn't been to school in a while so they had arrived at the door one day after school.

I opened the door to see Emmett, Rosalie and Edward (trailed by the human).

"Hey little guy!" Emmett greeted when he saw I wasn't hurt or anything. I get the feeling that although he is mostly laid back and care free that he can become fiercely protective of those that he believes he needs to protect.

"Hey guys, sorry I've not spoken for a while, I have been busy." I say and just at that moment Teddy starts crying. The four others eyes widen at the sound. I mean it's hard to mistake a sound like that. Letting them inside I go to my godson and the others follow. Instantly seeing me in the room he calms a little and I pick the boy up and rock him soothingly.

"Is he yours?" Bella sneered and I must say that it took a lot of my patients not to snap her neck then and there.

"No he is my godson."

"Then why do you have him?"

"Because his parents died. They fought for the lives of others and died heroes' deaths and now his grandmother is struggling and I have taken on the role of looking after him." I growl at the girl.

Rosalie is transfixed on the little person I hold in my arms staring sadly and hope shining in her eyes.

"Can I hold him?" she asked almost a whisper.

"Sure, he is restless since it is a full moon tonight." They all stare.

"Is he a werewolf? Is that even possible in a baby?" Edward asked.

"It's possible, painful but possible, but thankfully he doesn't have the curse. His father did, he was a good friend of my adopted father. His mother's... abilities seem to be more dominant though." I smirk thinking of what would happen in a matter of minutes.

"What does that mean?" Rosalie asked curious.

"I think it is easier to explain when you see it. Take him, he won't break that easy." I say softly to the cautious Vampire.

As soon as Teddy looked into her face they saw it happen, the black hair and amber eyes he had were gone as they bled away replaced by wavy blond and golden eyes. There were a light dusting of freckles on his nose and dimples that matched Emmett's. If Vampires could cry Rose would have been in tears as she watched the child change into almost the exact image of what she imagined her children would have looked like. Questioning she returned her eyes to me long enough for me to see the question.

"His mother was a metamorphmagus, a person with the ability to change their appearance. He inherited her gift instead of his father's curse.

Most of the visit involved Rosalie cooing at Teddy and playing with him. He seemed to love the attention and made the most of it almost forgetting that the moon had any control over the child it was as though he was as calm as could be. He was worn out by the time the Cullen's and their shadow had to leave Rose said she would be back often to help look after Teddy and when he slept through the night I figured it couldn't hurt anyone.

Nearly a month passed and between Rosalie's visits to keep Teddy occupied and making sure I was keeping up with my homework which was extremely boring I had forgotten completely about the third letter that I received on that day that seemed so long ago. Heading out back into the woods I decided to find some space to be alone and read. Only as usual things didn't go to plan. When I thought I was deep enough into the woods I was about to get the letter when I heard a growl. Turning I notice a wolf, another large wolf, bigger than the one before. This one was darker and crouched low in preparation for attack.

"I don't want to fight. I promise I will not hurt you." I say looking into the eye of the wolf. It can sense I am not human, but seems confused... maybe it's trying to figure out what I am? Before I get a chance to say anything else the smaller sandy wolf appeared and came between me and the bigger darker one.

"Hey pup, you shouldn't be there, you'll get hurt if he attacks." I say patting the fur of his back.

The two wolves' growl at each other and when the bigger one seems to back down he attacks while 'pup' relaxes. Using my speed I take the hit earning a few scratches on my side, but wrecking my clothes. Damn I liked this shirt.

"Paul stop it!" a boy's voice shouted from behind me. Turning my head a little I saw that a boy replaced the wolf that had been there. A now very naked boy. The darker wolf hesitated for a moment before changing into another naked human.

"Why protect him? He is an outsider! He could be a Vampire." he growled stalking off only to return moments later in a pair of jeans.

"But he doesn't smell like one." the boy countered.

"Okay I don't like people talking about me like I am not there." I growl at the pair making them turn to me, but I remain unfazed. "I am not a vampire."

"Then what are you? No human could have survived that attack with barely a scratch."

I briefly explain that I am an elf and after a while of disbelief they finally agree and determine that I am not a threat. We talk for a while on plain things before I have to go, but have agreed to meet the pack so that no more mistakes are made. In a few days I will go down to La Push and meet the other shifter wolves. Finally able to read my letter is a surprise.

Heyya Harry!

I want you to know that we are ashamed of our mother, she has seen you as her son for so long and after being told you could turn evil just because you are strong by Dumbledore she turns her back on you! We want you to know that we and Bill and Charlie all support you for better or worse, I mean Percy hasn't really said anything about it, but he isn't talking to mum again and he even supported you in an argument against Hermione. She is living here you know, she thinks just because she was dating Ron before he died that she earned her place here, doesn't even try to help around the house or anything. Really it's disgusting. She tried to ask us for money the other day, just because the shop is doing so well.

Fred & George

P.S. Thought you should know we added a little trick to this letter. It works like a portkey only the other way around. When you finish the letter... well I think you can work it out.

I could almost hear their smug voices at that last bit and sure enough...

Hahahahahahahaha I really am evil. You know the drill reviews make me all warm and fuzzy inside, they are also fuel to my fingers for typing ;)

PS/AN) I have been going through the pairing suggestions and think I have a couple of ideas, but I am not sure so I will start a bit of a poll going, also tell me which characters you would like me to bring into the story (come to Forks even if just for a visit)

POLL:

Luna/Neville: 2

Luna/Caius (I think this idea was interesting so anyone who wants to give me an idea on how to make it work it would be welcome :)): 2

Neville?

Luna/Leah: 1
