Hermione's POV:
We stayed at the Cullen's for an hour longer before Edward took us back home.
"We still have awhile before Dad gets home, what do you want to do?" Bella wondered.
"I wanna see the boys." I told her.
"You mean Jake and them? Those boys?" She questioned.
"Who else?" I returned.
"I don't know. Edward doesn't like it when I go there." Bella told me.
"Is Edward the boss of you?" I asked.
"No." She answered.
"Come on than, it's been forever since I've seen Sam, Jacob, Paul, Quill and the others." I pleaded, using the full force of my puppy eyes against her.
"Fine." She conceded. "You just had to bring out the puppy eyes didn't you." She added.
"You can drive since I don't have a car yet." I said.
"Come on than, let's go make you happy." She sighed.
Because Bella drives an old truck it took us double the time to get to the reservation than it would in a more recent car. We drove straight to Jacob and Billy Black's place. Before we managed to park, they were already outside, because you can hear the truck coming from a mile away. As soon as the car stopped I jumped out and ran up to Jake crushing him into a hug.
"Hey Hermione." Jake greeted.
"Hey Jake." I returned. I let go and turned to Billy.
"Hey Billy." I said as I bent down and wrapped him in a hug.
"Hey Hermione." He responded.
"How have you been?" Jake asked.
"Up and down. A lot of down recently, starting to go up." I answered.
"What happened?" Billy worried.
"My mum and dad died." I told them.
"I'm so sorry." They both murmured.
"I'm alright now." I whispered.
"What brings you round to America than?" Jake wondered.
"I missed my family and friends. I'm also considering move here permanently." I stated.
"What about the people in England?" Bella inquired.
"I can visit them there or they can come here." I responded
"So we're gonna have to deal with you every day than?" Billy asked in an exasperated tone.
"Unfortunately yes." I answered.
"He's kidding, we'd be glad to have you here permanently." Jake said.
"That's what I like to hear. Now I want to see the others." I said.
"Who are the others?" Billy quizzed.
"Sam, Paul, Jared, Quil, those boy's and the elders of course." I stated.
"There's a barbeque tonight on the cliff's, if you wanna see everyone that's the thing to be at." Jake told me.
"I will definitely be there. What time does it start?" I replied.
"We're gonna head over in half an hour to help set up, your welcome to join us Mione." Billy announced.
"You too Bella, if you want." Jake added.
"I'm gonna head home, I have dinner plans tonight. Mione I'll let dad know where you are, so he doesn't worry about where you are." Bella responded.
"Okay, have fun." I said.
"I will, see you later Jake, Billy and Mione." She replied.
"And now there was three." I murmured creepily.
"Don't say stuff like that, it creeps me out." Jake scolded me.
"No promises." I commented.
Billy, Jacob and I spent the time catching up inside before we had to leave. I helped Jake get his dad in the truck and once we got in, we were off. It didn't take long to get as close as we could by car and from there it was a five minuet walk or roll for Billy. We reached our destination and I saw quite a few familiar faces.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sam Uley, Paul Lahote, Jared Cameron, Embry Call and Quil Ateara. It's been a while." I breathed. The boy's turned to face me.
"Well, if it isn't Hermione Granger. It has been a while." Paul returned.
"It's good to see you guys." I stated.
"It's good to see you too." Quil replied.
"Are you guys gonna keep standing there or are you gonna come here and hug me?" I questioned.
They all ran over to me and pulled me into the middle if a giant group hug, squashing the oxygen from my lungs.
"I still need to breath." I grasped.
They quickly let go and I could breathe again. I than hugged each one of them individually, starting with Embry and ending with Sam.
"Hey Sam." I whispered.
"Hey Mione." He replied.
I let go of him and stepped back from the hug, looking into his eyes. A strange goofy smile enveloped his face.
"It's good to see you all again." I said to everyone.
"Yeah it is. Now tell us, what has our favourite British girl been up too?" Embry asked.
"Learning as always and trying to have fun with my friends, just the usual." I answered.
"That's good and it's nice to see you haven't forgotten about us." Quil stated.
"I could never forget about you guys." I declared.
"That's nice to here." Jared remarked.
"Sam, why are you looking at me like that?" I wondered because he was still looking at me with that goofy smile on his face. "Sam?" I asked.
"Sorry, it's just good to see you again." He finally replied.
"I feel the exact same way." I agreed.
"Can I steal the boys for a minuet? I have to take to them really quick with the Elders." Sam questioned.
"Of course, I will be right here when you get back." I replied.
"Thanks." He said. Sam with Paul, Jared, Embry, Jake and Quil went over to the Elders to talk with them.
I walked near to the edge off the cliff, far enough away so as not to fall over the edge. I breathed in the fresh ocean air. I missed this when I was away at Hogwarts. I mean yes I loved it there, but I always wanted to live here permanently because I always fitted in here.
"Hermione?" Billy asked, breaking me from my thoughts.
"Yes Billy?" I returned.
"Sam and the boys talked with me and the other Elders and there are things we need to tell you. We have legends in our tribe that only certain people get to know and today you became one of them." He informed me.
"What have I done to deserve such an honour?" I wondered.
"That will be explained because it is a apart of one of the legends." He answered.
"Alright than." I said. "Lead the way."
Sam's POV:
Today we were having a bonfire/barbecue with the pack, elders and Jared's imprint. We were going to be telling Kim of the stories of the Tribe because she needed to know. The boys and I started to help Sue set everything up, when I smelt the most beautiful scent of rose's and vanilla.
Then I heard a female voice say, "Well, well, well, if it isn't Sam Uley, Paul Lahote, Jared Cameron, Embry Call and Quil Ateara. It's been a while."
I turned around like the rest of the boys and found a familiar face we hadn't seen in almost two years.
"Well, if it isn't Hermione Granger. It has been a while." Paul returned.
"It's good to see you guys." She stated.
"It's good to see you too." Quil replied.
"Are you guys gonna keep standing there or are you gonna come here and hug me?" Hermione questioned.
The we all ran at her and pulled her into a massive group hug.
We ended up hugging her to hard because she said, "I still need to breath."
We backed away and watched as she caught her breath. Hermione hugged each off us individually and ended with me.
"Hey Sam." She murmured.
"Hey Mione." I whispered.
She backed away from our hug and looked into my eyes when I felt everything shift. It was like she was the only reason I was on Earth. My only reason for breathing and everything to do with life. A goofy smile enveloped my face and then I realised what happened. I had imprinted on her. I had imprinted on my childhood best friend, the niece of Forks police chief, the girl I had a crush on since we were thirteen.
"It's good to see you all again." Mione said to everyone.
"Yeah it is. Now tell us, what has our favourite British girl been up too?" Embry asked.
"Learning as always and trying to have fun with my friends, just the usual." She answered.
"That's good and it's nice to see you haven't forgotten about us." Quil stated.
"I could never forget about you guys." She declared.
"That's nice to here." Jared remarked.
"Sam, why are you looking at me like that?" Hermione wondered, because I was still looking at her with a stupid goofy smile on my face. "Sam?" She asked.
"Sorry, it's just good to see you again." I finally replied.
"I feel the exact same way." She agreed.
"Can I steal the boys for a minuet? I have to take to them really quick with the Elders." I questioned.
"Of course, I will be right here when you get back." She replied.
"Thanks." I said. Paul, Jared, Embry, Jake, Quil and I went over to the Elders so I could inform them of my latest discovery.
"Old Quil, Harry, Billy, I have news." I stated.
"What is it Sam?" Harry asked.
"I may have imprinted." I murmured.
"Congratulations." They said
"You imprinted on Hermione didn't you?" Jake questioned.
"Maybe." I whispered.
"You know she's Charlie's niece and that if you hurt he will shoot you right?" Embry wondered.
"I know and I am now terrified of him." I told them.
"Who knew our alpha could be terrified of someone." Paul commented.
"You would be terrified to if you were in my position." I remarked, hitting him on the head. He just shrugged in response.
"Well it looks like two people are finding out about more of the deeper tribal legends that happen to be very true." Old Quil stated.
"Should we start soon, the sun is beginning to set?" Jared quizzed.
"We will begin shortly, I'll get Hermione and you can eat while to stories are being told. Just remember ladies first and save some for us." Billy said.
"Yes, sir." We saluted.
We walked over to where the fire was roaring and sat ourselves on the logs surrounding it. Billy went over to where Hermione was. I noticed she was looking at the water and I felt a wave of calmness wash over me. Billy was on his way over to us with Mione following closely behind. I moved over on the log I was sitting on so she could sit next to me.
"Let's get food and then we'll begin." Harry breathed.
Like we promised the boys and I waited for the ladies' to get theirs before we got ours and leave some for the elders.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Hermione asked them.
"We will eat after." Old Quil answered.
"Are you sure? Because by the looks of the amount of food on the boys plates they are going to clean out the rest for it." She responded.
"We have promised to leave the rest for them, so don't worry." I told her.
"Alright." She conceded.
"Start eating and we'll begin." Billy stated.
Billy, Harry and Old Quil told us the stories of the cold ones, the spirit warriors, how we became werewolves and the third wife. The whole time Hermione looked so enraptured, and I got the feeling she wanted to write everything down, it was quite adorable. She even stopped eating she, was that interested.
"The Tribe is associated with magic." She mumbled, so low I could barely hear what she said.
"Pardon?" I asked.
"It's nothing." She replied.
"These legends are very true." Harry breathed.
"How can they be?" Kim wondered.
"It's associated with magic." Hermione stated.
"But magic is not really real." Kim argued.
"Quite the opposite and you guys aren't really werewolves, your shapeshifters." Mione returned.
"What do you mean by that?" Old Quil questioned.
"I've met werewolves and from your stories you are quite different from a real wolf. A real wolf can't change at will, it only happens on a fully moon and causes them a great deal of pain. They also don't keep their human mind, when they change they will attack their friends, family, anyone because all that's there is the monster that has taken over." She told them.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Billy, do you remember your cousin Sirius?" She quizzed.
"I was devastated when he died, he was wrongly accused. Did you know him?" He responded.
"He was my best friends godfather, of course I knew him. When I met him he explained everything and he was falsely accused, but you would be happy to know the real culprit was caught and killed." Mione announced.
"Your like him. I knew there was something different about you, I just could never tell what." Billy whispered.
"Either of you want to tell us what you are talking about?" Jacob inquired.
"It's only fair I tell you my secret as you have so graciously told me yours. I am a witch, Billy's cousin was a wizard." She stated.
"A what?" Quil asked.
"A witch. I'll show you some of my tricks." She declared.
Hermione pulled out a stick and said something in another language, resulting in a blue wolf bursting from the tip. She looked confused when she saw it though.
"That's odd, my patronus is usually an otter." She murmured.
"Why is that odd?" Paul wondered.
"A patronus changes only when something life changing happens to the caster. The only life changing thing I've done is decide to move from England to here." She shared.
"I think I know why it's changed." I stated.
"Why?" Mione inquired.
"Come for a walk and I'll tell you." I told her.
"Alright." She whispered.
I stood up and offered her my hand and when she took it, I noticed a faint blush rise to her cheeks.
