Lunar Love Chapter 14

He could finally see that after seven hours of just staying inside and talking getting to know one another, stood and made his way over to the door. But was shocked when Hermione stood as well to greet him goodbye.
He really didn't remember much of the small talk by the door, but what he did remember was some force which he was definitely grateful for, took over his body and was only spurred on as when he bent down Hermione did not move away. He then gently yet lingering for a few extra moments kissed her on her cheek and whispered a hushed goodnight.
Jacob was so elated that he quickly stripped of his clothes, transformed and headed into the forest that connected their backyard to the Rez.
He didn't remember much other than it was the first night in a long time he skipped out on a night of sleep.
…
Now:
…
Hermione knew that when she would wake up she would feel like shit. I mean the only time she didn't was when she was around either Charlie or the pack. Her new found plan of ignoring the pain so Bella wouldn't have to suffer was really taking its toll on her as well. When she wasn't her thoughts tended to drift and that wasn't exactly the best idea to let happen.
So she figured instead of waking her now pregnant cousin she would do the next best thing and write her a note while disaparatting to Harry and Ginny's.
…
When Bella woke up she didn't even realize she was already leaning against the bathtub with her head resting against the toilet bowl to cool her flushed skin.
'I swear if Edward ever shows his face around here again I'll set a blowtorch on his ass.' (AN: I told that to my friend when we were re-watching Eclipse; when it got to the part where Edward jumps into Bella's truck and admits he fucked with the engine I turned over and told her that if I was her I would've set his sparkly ass on fire with a blowtorch. Mess with my truck.)
She finally managed to regain herself and make her way into the shower and let the hot water cascade down her body. It was a very vast contrast to the cold that Edward would emanate from his concrete body. And with that realization the water turned cold and she had to finish rinsing her body quickly to finish her bathing. She entered her room after grabbing a towel and as she was drying out her hair she found a note from Hermione saying she would be out of town for a shopping trip.
"Well I wonder if Angela is up for a day of hanging out." mumbled Bella to herself heading towards the kitchen to make a quick call.
…
"Alice what is it?" questioned Jasper softly from his wife's side
"I can't see." mumbled Alice quietly standing abruptly and frantically pacing the room.
"Of course you can darling-"
"No Jazz I can't Bella and Hermione are- All I see is black. Bella and Hermione don't have a future anymore. They're gone." said Alice dropping to her knees as dry sobs began to wrack her body.
"They're gone." were the only words that left her lips over and over again as Jasper wrapped his arms around his wife in hopes of calming her down.
The only words on his lips were the curses directed at Edward's name.
…
Hermione entered Harry and Ginny's home with a resounding crack that echoed off of the walls of the manor.
"Misses Mione. Mistress Ginny is awaiting yous in the library." spoke Kreacher stepping into the room
"Thank you Kreacher. Is Harry here?" asked Hermione walking towards the library where the elf said her friend was.
"Master Harry in the study he is. Shackles and Bolts called hims using the floo. And Master's been in there for two hours now." spoke the elf as they were in front of the door leading to the small library.
"If that is all misses is needing from Kreacher?" bowed the house elf who after seeing a small nod from Hermione disappeared with a crack and a cloud of smoke.
Ginny was sitting down at a table a gossip stone placed gently in her hands as her magic roamed the map laid before her.
"Need any help?" Hermione asked as Ginny jumped and looked at the older witch with wide eyes.
"Merlin Hermione! You scared the crap out of me!" she shrieked walking around the table with her still rather large belly and pulling the other witch into a hug.
"Sorry. Sorry. I just needed some time away from … you know … everything." she finished lamely as Ginny pulled her into another hug.
"It's all right, honey. You know you're always welcome here."
"Yeah thanks. Ginny I was wondering if that invitation might be extended to Bella?" asked Hermione as Ginny rose a brow in her direction
"You mean you're older cousin? Does she know?" asked Ginny skeptically as Hermione merely nodded in her direction.
"I had to tell her Gin. She got involved with a vampire. He left her. Pregnant." said Hermione collapsing in a chair as Ginny began consoling her.
"Well I think it's time for Bella to make a new friend then huh?" asked Ginny calling Kreacher to her
"Tell Harry to meet us by Hermione's uncle's once he's finished speaking with Shacklebolt." and with a nod from Kreacher the two headed out the library and to the CR-V.
…
'Damn it Paul. Watch where the hell you go!' (Embry)
'Maybe you should try not getting in my way.' (Paul)
'Paul knock it off. Watch what you're doing.' (Sam)
Just as Sam finished that thought he was thrown into a tree and broke threw six others. A flash of red all he saw before the other wolves were surrounding him.
'Don't just stand there. Go after that bitch!' (Sam)
Only Jacob hesitated silently asking Sam for permission. And with a nod he headed off towards the red head. As soon as he finished her off the sooner he could see his Hermione.
…
Ginny and Hermione managed to make it to Charlie's house with little to no trouble, but parked on the road in front of the house due to Bella's truck and a blue PT cruiser parked in the driveway. At Ginny's confused look Hermione merely rolled her shoulders in an I don't know way.
As soon as the two witch's made their way into the house the were met with immediate giggles from the kitchen followed by Bella's voice, "…and then he actually pouted and mumbled "s'not funny." another round of giggles from the story telling girl, "Hermione then beautifully informed him "But Jacob, you thought my cat was feeling you up." and with that the laughter of Bella and her friend reached the ears of them both as they walked through the passing leading to the kitchen.
"Are we interrupting a good story?" asked Hermione with a smile as Ginny waddled in behind her.
"Oh no sorry. Hermione this is my friend Angela, Ang this is my younger cousin who decided she would graduate before me Hermione." spoke Bella
"Are you really going to introduce me as that to all your friends?" asked Hermione with a smile. It's nice to meet you Angela. This is my special friend, Ginny. She came all the way out here with my other friend Harry to visit." she spoke putting definite emphasis on special.
Bella catching on quickly very (which in reality wasn't really a lot) subtlety nodded which thankfully was missed by Angela.
"So this is why you were up at such an ungodly hour." said Bella with a shake of her head.
"Ungodly? Think you two have been spending enough time together?" asked Ginny with a laugh. "Hi Angela. Bella. It's good to meet you both."
"You too." the two humans answered at the same time
"Gin why don't you sit and I can fix us a snack and some drinks." said Hermione
"Merlin you too then?" asked Ginny annoyed
"Well I figured I might as well considering Harry isn't here to coddle you." laughed Hermione putting the drinks on the table before moving to fix sandwiches.
"So what did you get?" asked Bella to either Hermione or Ginny and later looked up with a confused brow as Hermione quickly caught on and answered. She might have told Bella the whole witch thing but that didn't mean telling of the crazies that were trying to kill them.
"Nothing. I mean we went browsing but got caught up in talking and just catching up." she said setting down the sandwiches and taking a seat.
"Yeah. Hermione's my best girl friend. It was nice having an intelligent conversation. One not involving Quidditch. It's great when you can play but I can't really in my condition." said Ginny with a laugh.
"Quidditch?" asked Angela as Bella raised an eyebrow in agreement to her friend's bafflement.
"It's kind of like a mix between basketball, American football, and rugby." answered Hermione close enough to an answer they would get from her.
"Wow. And your school actually let you play?" asked Angela "Have you ever gotten injured? It sounds completely brutal."
"Loads. One time I fell of- on my arm. Damn near shattered my wrist." the witch quickly amended. Not before receiving a glare from Hermione first.
"So Angela how do you and Bella know each other?" asked Hermione obviously not liking the subject of Quidditch.
"We were in English last year when Bella first moved down. This year we have Chemistry II Honors, Record Keeping, and PE." at this Bella and Hermione shuddered at the same time.
"Wow. You two really are related." whistled Angela as Ginny merely laughed her agreement.
"So Bella. Who's this Jacob Black that Hermione has been dying not to tell me about?" asked Ginny as Bella completely turned with her evil little smirk and all.
"He's from the Quileute tribe. And he lives further down from here on the Rez-"
Hermione merely let out a sigh and blushed when appropriate.
'I swear a pregnant Bella is an evil Bella.' were her last thought as Bella spoke of them getting lost in each others' eyes for at least a full five minutes before she broke them up.
'A very evil Bella indeed.'
…
"You two are my top aurors. I have been informed that Potter is already there along with his wife. Now I know the both of you have personal ties to the three of our own there but you are there strictly on business if I get so much as a complaint from either Hermione or Harry I'll have your arses back here before you can say crap. Do you understand?" asked Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic.
"Yes, sir." answered a deep voice, the next took longer but eventually came as well.
"Perfectly." smiled the red head, "Is that all you need of us Minister?" the same voice asked.
"Yes, the two of you can leave now. But I don't want you departing any later than noon tomorrow."
"Yes, sir." the two answered at the same time this time.
"So Forks should be fun." stated the blonde turning to look at his partner who merely humphed and walked into the fireplace flooing away.
"Yep real fun." said Draco Malfoy following after Ron into the green flames.
…
Summary: Hermione could not believe how she got conned into going to visit her relatives in the states after the war. There were only three things she knew for sure. First she was a very tired and exhausted warrior from war not yet ready to move on like her parents were forcing her to do. Second she was not allowed to use any of her magic. And third Hermione knew irrevocably and without a doubt that if nothing interesting would happen in Forks, Washington something or someone is going to get blown up.
