Hermione's POV:
It had been a week since the boys and I were messing around in the forest. At one point we decided to have a race and the boys including Sam were annoyed when I beat them quite easily. But I may have made it worse when I said 'I thought you guys were supposed to be fast.'
Later that same day Sam and I had our first date. He took me to one of the restaurants in Forks and was the perfect gentleman. We spent the night talking and just having fun. After dinner he drove us to La Push and we walked along the beach, enjoying the night air. At the end of the night, he drove me back to Charlie's and when we arrived he walked me to the door and kissed me before he left.
The following days after that I spent time catching up with Bella and Charlie. I spent some time with boys on the rez and kissing Sam. In the last week since I've moved here, I've felt more at home than I thought possible. I mean, yes I miss England and my friends, but being here feels completely and totally right. And that brings us to today.
I was sitting on the lounge with Sam at Charlie's place when the phone rang. I reluctantly pulled his arms away from my waist and got off the lounge to answer the phone.
"Swan residence Hermione speaking." I greeted.
"Hey Hermione, it's Billy." He returned.
"Hey Billy, what's up?" I asked.
"I called the owners of the house and they finally got back to me with an answer." He replied.
"And what did they say?" I questioned.
"They accepted your offer. As soon as I get the papers from the solicitor and you've signed them you will official be a home owner." He told me.
"Oh my god, that's amazing!" I exclaimed.
"I'll let you know when I have the papers." Billy stated.
"Thank you so much." I said.
"It's no problem, bye Hermione." He responded.
"Bye Billy." I farewelled.
I went back into the living room with a smile on my face. I walked straight over to Sam, sat in his lap and pressed a kiss to his lips.
"What was that for?" He wondered.
"I got the house." I murmured.
"You got it?" He asked.
"I got it." I answered.
"That's amazing, soon I won't need Charlie's permission to stay the night." He announced.
"That is very true." I agreed.
Sam brought our lips together again and I happily excepted. His hands slid down to my waist and pulled me even closer if possible. I tangled my hands in his hair, pulling and tugging at it as we continued to make out. He ran his tongue across my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I parted them, letting him in. He elicited a moan from me when he lips started attacking my neck.
"Well, now we know why we haven't heard from you." A female voice said that certainly wasn't Bella.
"Dam, heyyyyy." I strained as I turned to see the faces of my best friends.
"You comfy there?" Harry questioned.
"I'm not answering that." I replied.
"We all heard her moaning, so I think she is." Draco remarked.
"Why am I friends with you again?" I wondered.
"Because you somehow love him like the rest of us." Pansy commented.
"Are you gonna get off you boyfriend to greet us or not?" Blaise inquired.
I pushed myself off of Sam and the couch all together, groaning in the process. When I turned back to my friends, I looked at them like I was shooting daggers towards their hearts.
"Don't give us that look, we were worried about you." Ron stated.
"So call or write a letter!" I shouted.
"We wanted to see you in person." Ginny told me.
"So let me know ahead of time, you know I hate it when you turn up without telling me." I scolded them.
"There is no need for all this anger." Harry said.
"Easy for you to say, you weren't just interrupted by your friends. How would you feel if I did that with you and Ginny?" I returned.
"The same as you." He mumbled.
"What was that?" I wondered.
"The same as you." He repeated.
"Exactly, so forgive me if I'm frustrated." I commented.
"Fine, now can you please introduce us to your man?" Pansy asked.
"Fine, Sam this is Harry, Ron, Ginny, Draco, Blaise and Pansy my annoying friends from England. Guys, this is Sam, my oldest friend and boyfriend." I introduced.
"Hello." Sam greeted.
"Hi." The others replied.
"Are you on steroids?" Draco wondered.
"Draco!" Blaise shouted.
"Dude you don't ask that." Ron added.
"It's fine. No I'm not on steroids, I'm actually a shape shifter. I can turn into a wolf and I'm the alpha of my pack." Sam answered Draco's question.
"So, you're a werewolf?" Harry asked.
"No he's not, he's a shape shifter. The magic that runs through his veins goes back hundred of years, it's just different a different type of compared to ours. It's like how Harry and I can turn into animals, only he's apart of a pack and the leader of said pack." I tried to explain.
"And due to old magic I imprinted on Hermione." Sam shared.
"What does that mean?" Ginny inquired.
"It an old legend of the tribe. In simple terms it means he found his soulmate." I clarified.
"And in not so simple terms?" Blaise questioned.
"It's like gravity shifts and it's no longer gravity that holds you to earth, she does. You'd do anything and be anything for her. A friend, brother, shoulder to cry on or a lover." Sam answered.
"That's sweet." Pansy murmured.
"And very true because it happened." I breathed.
"Sam, can we have a word outside?" Ginny asked calmly.
"Sure." Sam responded.
"Don't anger her, she may be tiny but she is deadly." I warned.
"I'll be fine." He assured me.
"You may think that now." Draco started.
"But one day you'll regret those words." Harry finished.
"Please don't hurt his pretty face." I said.
"I'll try not to." Gin stated.
With that she started walking towards the door without another word and Sam followed after her.
During the fifteen minuets Sam and Gin were gone, I was catching up with the others. I found out that Harry and Ginny moved in together, Draco was training to become a healer and Ron was working with George full time at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Blaise and Pansy told me that they were finally engaged, I was so happy for them and when I saw the ring I was absolutely speechless. When I was finally able to speak again I said, 'Holy shit, he does love you.'
Eventually my boyfriend and best girl friend came back, I was glad to see Sam in one piece without any visible marks on his skin.
"I'm glad to see your okay." I told him.
"You've got one scary friend." Sam stated.
"Yeah, she's worse than Charlie with a shot gun." I shared.
"So, we're guessing you like the States." Harry commented.
"I've always liked the States." I returned.
"Probably even more now." Draco returned.
"I'd stop acting like that or you may need a hospital." I threatened him.
"I thought you learnt to stop doing that, you remember last time right?" Pansy chastised Draco.
"What happened last time?" Sam wondered.
"Have you ever met 'I'm gonna kill you Hermione' Sam?" Ginny asked.
"Why does that sound bad?" He questioned.
"Because the last time Draco was patronizing her like this, well let's just say that a week in hospital was needed." Blaise informed him.
"He's lucky it wasn't longer." I mumbled.
"Anyway, we are staying for a week." Ron said.
"Where are you staying?" I asked suspiciously.
"Here, we called Charlie yesterday while he was at work cause we wanted to surprise you when we arrived and he said we could stay here." Harry informed me.
"I'm gonna kill him, he knows I hate surprises." I breathed.
"Don't be too hard on him, he loves you and you know it's hard for him to show his emotions sometimes." Sam whispered in my ear.
"Fine, I won't be too hard on him." I caved.
"How did you do that?" Harry wondered.
"Do what?" Sam replied.
"Calm Hermione down." Pansy clarified.
"He's always had that effect on me, sometimes I really hate it." I informed them.
"When she comes to England can you come with her please?" Blaise inquired.
"Depends on if she wants to bring me or not." Sam answered.
"Moving on, let's go for a walk, we'll show you around and you can come to the reservation with us later and met the guys." I told them.
"Lead us on the grand tour of Forks than." Draco commented.
After two hours of walking around Forks, showing my friends around, we headed back to Charlie's so we could apparate to the rez. As the house came into view, I noticed the drive way held two cars. When we reached the house I heard distant sounds of the TV inside.
"Charlie's defiantly home, Bella may or may not be, depends on if she's with Edward or not." I said.
"Who's Edward?" Harry wondered.
"Bella's boyfriend." Sam answered.
I walked into the house and found Charlie on the lounge as usual and Bells in the kitchen with Edward.
"Hello everyone." I greeted.
"Sam with you?" Bella questioned
"Yeah, why?" I returned.
"Dad you owe me ten bucks!" She shouted.
"How do you put up with her Edward?" I inquired.
"I love her." He replied.
"At least someone does." I teased.
"Hey!" She exclaimed.
I just smiled at her, before we both broke out laughing.
"Who are these people?" Charlie asked.
"The people you let surprise me, also known as my England friends." I informed him.
"I'm Harry, this is Ginny, her brother Ron, Draco, Blaise and Pansy." Harry introduced everyone.
"I'm Bella, this my Dad, Hermione's uncle Charlie and my boyfriend Edward." Bella greeted.
"Nice to meet you." They all said in unison.
"We're gonna head down to the reservation, to finish off the tour and so they can meet the others." I informed my uncle.
"Your welcome to join us." Sam added.
"I'm gonna stay in tonight." Charlie said.
"Me too." Bella agreed.
"I gotta get home." Edward stated.
"Alright, you mind if we apparate from in here?" I inquired.
"Is that the thing that made me sick the other day?" Sam wondered.
"Yeah, but it's the quickest way to get there and you'll get used to it the more we do it." I answered.
"Fine." He groaned.
"Already wrapped her finger." Draco murmured.
"Darling, he's been wrapped around my finger for years." I breathed.
"He did follow you around like a puppy when you visited over the years." Bella admitted.
"Oh the irony in that sentence." I muttered.
"Let's go, before I regret my decision to apparate." Sam said.
"Okay, either hold onto Sam or I and I'll apparate us all over." I instructed.
I grabbed Sam's hand, as the others held onto us. I imagined the edge of the forest, right next to the beach and turned on the spot, disapparating us all away. When we reappeared in the forest my boyfriend immediately leaned forward and started to dry heave before vomiting.
"Oh honey, your gonna be okay." I whispered to him, as I rubbed his back soothingly.
"I hate that feeling." Sam mumbled.
"We were all like that in the beginning, well except of golden boy." Blaise stated.
"You'll get used to it, it just takes a few try's." Ron added.
"Where are we?" Ginny questioned.
"Edge of the forest, right next to the beach." I responded.
"I'll change and call the boys to meet us here." Sam told me.
"Maybe just walk out of our line of vision." I murmured.
"Why does he have to do that?" Pansy wondered.
"I kinda needs to be naked otherwise I'll rip my clothes to shreds." He answered.
"Yea, out of our eyeline please." Harry muttered.
"I'll be right back." Sam announced.
"Why don't we wait on the beach?" Blaise suggested.
"Follow me." I responded.
After a quick ten minuet walk, turns out I apparated a little further in than I thought, we exited the forest and reached First Beach. I breathed in the ocean scented air and instantly felt peace wash over me.
"I see why you like it here." Harry stated.
"Yeah, it's so beautiful." Pansy agreed.
"This is the one place I have always felt like I belong. No one judges me here like in the Wizarding World or other Muggle communities. Here I'm just me, not a war heroine, not a freak, just me." I murmured.
"This place is your home isn't it?" Ron inquired.
"I always hated leaving this place behind, even if it was to go back to Hogwarts." I told them.
"I remember the great tantrum of the summer of 1989. You were ten years old and…" A new voice began.
"And if you finish that story I'll I'm gonna skin you alive." I threatened, turning around to face Jared.
He held his hands up in surrender, knowing not to piss me off. I saw the rest of the boys heading our way and shaking their heads at their friend.
"Don't piss her off dude." Quil groaned.
"It may be Draco who does that." Blaise said.
"Who are you?" Paul growled, getting a bit overprotective of me.
"These are my British friends, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Blaise, Draco and Pansy." I started to introduce.
"Hello." They all greeted.
"Guys, this is Paul, Jared, Embry, Quil and Jacob." I finished introducing.
"Hey." The boys replied.
"Where's Sam?" Embry wondered.
"In the woods somewhere." I responded. "Can one of you please find him we left him in there a while ago."
"No need I'm here." Sam announced coming out of the forest.
"You took your time." I stated.
"Sorry." He appoligised, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me on the cheek.
"Forgiven." I breathed.
"What's up?" Jake asked.
"I wanted you to meet my friends, there gonna be here for the week and probably pop up all the time without my prior knowledge, like today for example." I explained.
"You didn't write, so we didn't tell you." Draco commented.
"Do you want another trip to the hospital?" I inquired, turning a death glare on him.
"I'm good." He mumbled.
"Why are you so scared of Hermione?" Embry wondered.
"In our third year she punched him in the face and broke his nose." Harry informed them.
"I actually had to go to the hospital wing." Draco added.
"He deserved it. He were being a righteous git and I really hated him back then." I explained.
"I'm going swimming, anyone want to join?" Quil wondered.
"Why not." Everyone responded.
