A/N: Hello all! Hope your summer is going awesome =). Sorry for not updating as soon as I wanted this story to be updated...its mostly due to my google+ taking a mind of its own and duplicating a second youtube account -_-. All in all what ended up happening was that I ended up accidentally deleting my personal account -_-'. But despite my resent nightmarish moments with my youtube I have been doing my best to keep most of my stories up to date. And for those that have not read my story "What Does It Mean To Have A Happily Ever After" I changed my name from Starriver92 to Iris-Reid92. So, if there are any updates with this new screen name don't freak out. Thank You =)
WARNING: If there are Bella haters out there, there will be a little appearance of Bella.

Leah POV
I just ran and ran deeper and deeper into the woods not really seeing where I was actually going...I didn't care. It could be the fact that I could still be in shock from the expressions on Remus, Severus, and Hermione's faces. It could be the pain of their (especially Remus') reactions to my being a she-wolf, in the end I think that it's all of the damn above.
I stopped in front of the cottage that Bella, Edward and Nessie resided in and managed to change back. The house has changed since the stand off with the Volturi, both the main house and the cottage have had extra bedrooms and bathrooms added since Jake and Nessie bonded. I chuckled ruefully at myself thinking about all the times I was jealous of the wolves and their mates, and how I wanted someone like they did even if nothing romantic ever occurred. I finished getting dressed and knocked on the door hoping against hope that Bella would be at home. I was surprised to see Blondie open the door.
"Hello Leah," She said kindly.
I mustered a semi-strained 'hi' before she noticed that I had no fight in me for banter of any type.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" She asked opening the door for me indicating that I could come in.
I wrapped my arms around myself and asked, "Is Bella home?"
"Yes she is, in fact all the girls are here. We're sort of having a girls night in and left the main house in the hands of our men to have their own little 'Men Only' party," She said with a small smile.
I nodded and sat in the farthest corner of the large sofa facing the lit fireplace.
I pulled my knees to my chest and hopped that this ache in my chest would go away, stupid of me really but hey a girl can hope right? I stared at the dancing flames and let the pain consume me. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt someone cover me up with a blanket, I look up to see Esme sitting on a cushion next to me (on the floor) and Bella sitting in front of me. Alice and Rose sat on the opposite sofa waiting for something.
"Are you alright Leah?" Esme asked as she took my hand into her freezing one.
I shook my head and considered telling them what had happened. Maybe I should just get it out and maybe I'll feel better.
"I went by the bookstore Remus owns," I started cringing at the sound of his name, "and had come to the conclusion that in order for our relationship to grow further I needed to comic clean to and his family about what I really am. So, I ran up to the forest behind the house kinda waging war against myself running the pros and cons of what I was about to do. Out of nowhere I was hit with an unfamiliar vampire scent near the edge of the forest," I stopped to take a deep breath and get my breathing and heart under control (or as under control as you can when you're a shapeshifter).
"There was a vampire on the rez!?" Asked a stunned Bella.
I looked around to see the rest of the Cullen women with the same astonish looks on their faces.
"Later, if it isn't any trouble I would like Edward to take a sweep at what I saw to make sure kit wasn't anyone that your family knows," I said looking away from the fireplace.
Everyone nodded. And it was obvious that no one needed to be a mind reader to read the not so subtle message running through everyone's minds. We don't need a 'Victori(a)ous' replay.
"Teddy, Remus' son was on the homp made swing. She was about to pounce on him I shifted and was able to give Teddy a gentle push off of the swing the before the vamp could do anything to him. Next thing I know Remus, Hermoine and Severus are out side,to say they were stunned is an I had the bitch's neck in my mouth by then, but before I froze at the looks on their faces. I didn't take it personally because they had yet to know who was under the fur, so to speak," I said finishing the last sentence with a mirthless chuckle.
I pulled my legs tighter to me and took a deep breath. To my surprise Rosalie the Blondsicle of the Cullen household was sitting on the armrest behind me in the blink off an eye and put her hand on my blanket clad shoulder offering support.
"The vamp took my moment of weakness as a chanto to escape and started to thrash around, that ended up with me getting a broken shoulder. I managed to bite her neck in half. The next thing I know I blackout, it only must have been a short moment because the next thing I know I wake up to see Teddy looking at me, as if he knew it was me inside the wolf," I said curiously.
The expressions around of all the women are fleeting. And I don't blame them, hoes many times in your life do shift into a wolf, fain then wake up to find a small boy looking at you as you were nothing?
"And that is not the boggling thing. What had and still has me thrown for a loop is that when I had finished gaining my bareigns, he had walked up to me rabbis hand lightly over my broken arm and in a moment it was healed iLife magic!" I said astonishedly.
"Did you just say like magic?" Bella asked curiously.
I nodded.
"Well, I should not be telling you this but by what little you have said about Teddy I think that Forks' supernatural population has hit a new level," she said as if she was deep in thought.
"How do you mean?" Asked Esme.
Bella looked skeptical at first but then smiled and said, "I think Forks has received it's first wizard or wizards."
"What!?" Everyone said at the same time.
"Yup, they must be wizards, and powerful ones at that if you say that little Teddy was able to heal you by just touching you," she said kindly.
That made some sense to things I saw in the upper level of the bookstore. Like how the second floor has more room than humanly possible while there type or sign of any renovations being done.
"Hey, could it be a possibility that they will not have a problem with me being a wolf?" I asked trying and possibly failing to hide the fear in my voice.
Bella gave me a sympathetic look and said, "I don't knot Leah. It depends on whether or not they are open minded used in a way used to such ideas."
I nodded and decided to go and see Remus and see where we stand after he saw my more...wolf-ish personality.
"Just give them time and if you need to see them tomorrow then you can just be cautious of their reactions," Bella said with a kind smile.
Everyone nodded and smiled. any moat matter what happens we'll always be here for you," Rosalie said giving my shoulder a light squeeze.
I nodded thankfully and told them that I would be slipping into the main house to get some sleep. A little after the confrontation with the Volturi Esme gave Seth and I a roI'm each in the main house. Our mother had nothing against us moving in with the Cullen's especially since Jake and Nessie are mates and since she moved in with Bella's father Charlie.
A/N: Don't forget to review! Should we have a re-introduction of the folks living Grimmaulds and the Weasleys?
