Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Harry Potter or Twilight – such a depressing thought.
Chapter 2
I smiled as I looked around my new bedroom, which at the moment held no details of what I liked other than my favourite colour scheme, which consisted of neutral tones with some red and some blues mixed in.
I had a large bed with a night stand on either side of it and a large bay window. There was a red brick fireplace across from the bay window with two arm chairs front and facing it and a desk on the far side of the room from my bed.
"so?" Sirius asked me, "do you like it?" he asked, a touch of worry seeping into his voice.
"like it? I love it!" I said sat as I sat down my desk, running my fingers over the polished wood.
"good." Sirius sighed. "Remus thought about putting you in the bedrooms beside teddy and making you suffer through 3 am wake up calls." I shot Sirius a horrified look. "anyway, I'll leave you to it. call if you need anything." Sirius said as he exited my room.
I looked around at the blank space and sighed, picking my suitcase back up and setting it onto the storage trunk at the end of my bed, clicking it open.
Inside sat my laptop, carefully wrapped up in a few of my Weasley sweaters for safe keeping. I wrapped it again and brang it to my desk, its official new home. I set it down on the desk and pulled it open. Luckily Sirius had wireless internet here. I sat down in the plush black spinning chair.
"you have three new messages." A woman's auto voice said. I pulled up my Inbox and clicked receive messages.
The three messages were from Ron, Hermione and Neville respectively. The Neville one surprised me, he'd moved away some years ago. I couldn't recall for the life of me where he'd moved to.
I clicked on Ron's message first.
'Hey Harry,
How forks? You're probably still on the plane, but I thought I'd email anyways. Everyone keeps asking where you are, I keep telling them to mind their own business and Mione keeps smacking me for being rude. Rubbish.
Does it rain there as much as it rains here? I heard Remus say it does.
Mum is worrying about you, but that's nothing unusual. She says hi, and so does Ginny, the twins, Bill and Charlie – even Percy says hi. He's home this weekend, taking some time off from the ministry.
I of course say hi too.
Did you hear? The canons lost their latest game, I still say that one shot was a foul. They aren't going on to the tournament, maybe next year though.
I smiled slightly as I glanced over the rest of his email, which basically went over everything happening in England at the moment. It also covered the seven or so fights Hermione and Ron had since I'd left.
"wonder how long it'll take for them to get together?" I mused as he closed his email and went on to Hermione's.
'Dear Harry
Hows America? I've heard its amazing. I couldn't find much on forks, but I'll keep looking. I found some fascinating legends about the Quileute tribe that lives in La push that I think you'd enjoy. I'll forward you the links.
Oh! The main reason I'm emailing is because I spoke to Neville, you remember, Neville Longbottom, he used to live down the street from you? Well, you remember.
Anyways he got in contact with me and after I told him what all was happening and where you were moving to he mentioned he'd moved to forks as well, so you'll at least know someone!
I gave Neville you're email address, I hope you don't mind.
I have to go though, I have a history project due next week that I need to get started.
Bye Harry!
Love, Hermione.
I smiled, shaking my head. Hermione and homework. I couldn't believe she went through the trouble of looking things up about forks. I sighed as I sat back in my chair, looking up at the ceiling.
So Neville moved to forks. I could easily remember Neville, he'd been my closest friend as a child and remained one of my best friends through elementary school, until he had to move in grade eight.
I wondered if we could meet up before school, maybe I could get to know the town a bit? Even if we couldn't meet I'd at least know someone there, which would all in all be a nice change.
I was also supposed to meet Sirius cousins soon. They're from la push, aren't they. I sat forward again and clicked on Neville's message.
'Hi Harry.
See you at school
Nev.'
I grinned, snickering softly. I'd have to hunt him down on Monday. I decided to write them back tomorrow when i heard Remus call me down, saying the pizza had arrived.

"when do we need to go to Seattle?" I asked again as I sat in the back seat with teddy, looking at Remus who sat in the drivers seat and a sulking Sirius sat in the passenger seat.
"I need to go get some more things for Teddy, he's growing too quickly." Remus said, "and Sirius said something about getting a few things for your bedroom and some new clothes." Remus told him.
"new clothes? I have plenty of clothes." I frowned.
"oh no, mostly the clothes shopping is for Sirius here. He destroys his too quickly, working on those motorcycles of his." Remus said in a mild scolding tone.
"ah." I nodded, glancing at the sulking Sirius in the front seat.
"is there anything you'd like to pick up while at the mall? Or do you want to go off on your own to look around?"
"there's this great store full of shirts with funny sayings." Sirius turned in his seat to look at me, grinning mischievously. "it's brilliant." Sirius said enthusiastically. "they've got signs, stickers, bumper stickers, coffee cups, magnets, t-shirts, shoes, and hats with sayings on them. They've also got wicked earrings." Sirius sighed dreamily. "but Remus won't let me pierce my ears." He pouted.
I couldn't help but make the whipping sound and hand movement. Sirius mock growled at me as I smirked back at him, making the sound again.
"it's not like you've got your ears pierced either." Sirius sulked.
"actually, yes I do." I stated.
"what!?" Remus and Sirius both turned back to look at me.
"Remus eyes on the road!" I cried out. Remus quickly turned back around, steadying the car as he did so.
"when the bloody hell did you get your ears pierced?" Sirius asked, scandalized.
"on my sixteenth birthday." I answered.
"do you're parents know?"
"think they'd care?" I shot back.
"touche." Sirius said. after a few minutes of silence Remus cleared his throat.
"so, is there anything you'd like to pick up?" he asked.
"could we stop by a music store?" I asked. "I've been learning to play the guitar since I was fourteen." I told them.
"who taught you?" Sirius asked curiously.
"well, I learned some at school, but I more learned piano there, and a bit of violin, but mostly I learned guitar from Severus and Charlie." I answered.
"Severus plays the guitar?" Remus asked.
"he used to, but he hasn't in a while." Harry said, "not enough spare time anymore, he said." I shrugged.
"well, we'll have to get you a guitar then." Sirius said with a grin. "we have a piano already, but it's been in the celler for a while. I guess I'll pull it back out for you." He said.
"you don't have to." I started to complain.
"I want to." Sirius stated with a grin. His grin only grew as Remus pulled into the mall parking lot. I turned in my seat, starting to unbuckle teddy as Remus parked, carrying teddy as I got out of the car and into the chilly air. I tucked the blanket tighter around teddy who lay in his carrier before standing up, picking teddy up with me. Remus smiled as he came over, taking teddy from me and leading the way inside.
Inside I smiled at the blast of warm as the doors opened. The mall itself wasn't actually all that busy, which was kind of a relief. I didn't find the idea of being trampled all that great.
Inside Remus turned to Sirius and I.
"alright you two, I need to go pick up some things for teddy, why don't you two go and look around. We'll meet up in two hours in -" Remus looked at the map of the mall, "-the the food court, first floor." Remus finally said.
"aye' aye Captain." Sirius mock saluted, dancing away as Remus attempted to swat him on the head.
"behave, Harry you're in charge." Remus stated. Sirius' jaw dropped.
"what? But I'm the adult!" Sirius whined, stomping his foot and pouting childishly.
"in body yes, in mind, you're three."
"four." I disagreed. "three year old's are evil I'll admit, but four year old's have better pronunciation." I told him wisely. Remus nodded seriously.
"true." Sirius pouted, glaring moodily at the two of us.
"I hate you both." He sulked.
"love you too." I chirped back. I watched fr a moment as Remus and teddy disappeared down another hallway before turning to Sirius. "now, wheres this shop full of t-shirts with sayings?" Sirius eyes brightened.
Oh no, I've created a monster!
It was a little while before I could convince Sirius to leave the store called 'knickknacks' and go to the music store with me. Sirius really loved that store, maybe I'd get him a few t-shirts one day.
The music store, I soon found out, was huge! It took up three different stores, and was brimming with instruments, some I hadn't even heard of. I walked with Sirius to the string instrument area. On the walls there was a rack of Acoustic guitars. I chose just a plain light brown one and brought it down.
While I was looking Sirius seemed to have gravitated towards the drums exhibit. I came up behind him. "thinking of getting a drum set Siri?" I asked.
"I'm all for noise, but Remmy would have my head." Sirius sighed. "I can just hear his reaction now." Sirius muttered, pouting.
"yes well, with teddy and all." Sirius only pouted further.
"I know, that's exactly what Remus would point out too." He sulked. "when that kid gets older, he's going to play the drums!" he said wth finality.
"good luck with that." I said, patting his shoulder.
"I'm going to need it." he said with a nod. "knowing the genes, he'll be a bookworm." Sirius sighed dramatically.
The shopping trip took a while, mainly because Sirius decided to try every instrument he found interesting, and I was helpless to stop him until I pointed out that is he didn't stop, Remus would kill us both for being late.
That was apparently more than enough motivation to get Sirius to the food court, where we found Remus and teddy sitting at a table with a girl that looked to be a little older than me. we made our way over to where Remus was sitting.
"I was wondering if you'd gotten swallowed up by the instruments." Remus said with no small amount of exasperation.
"nope, Sirius just wanted to test his musical talent for the duration of our time there." I stated.
"and?"
"utterly talentless." I answered with a small grin while Sirius pouted, cuffing me of the side of the head and glaring at Remus, who was chuckling. The girl beside Remus just smiled in amusement.
"Alice, this is my nephew, Harry potter, Harry, this is Alice Cullen, she'll be going to school with you once you start." Remus told me.
"hello." I greeted.
"hi!" she chirped. "I like you accent. Mr. Black and Mr. Lupins accents aren't near as strong." She said.
"yeah, they have faded a bit since they left England haven't they?" I mused, "I barely noticed their twang." I said with mirth.
"I do not have a twang. I am a proper English men."
"who rides a motorcycle."
"who rides a motorcycle." Sirius added.
"who defies his mother whenever opportune."
"who defies his mother whenever opportune." Sirius conceded.
"who pranks often, dates everyone – well - used to, hates social parties–"
"okay I get it, not so much a proper gentlemen." Sirius pouted. "Must you burst my bubble?"
"yes." Remus and I replied seriously. Alice just giggled at the bickering.
"why do I put up with you two?" Sirius said dramatically. "atleast teddy is adorable."
"because if you didn't, you'd be eating you charcoal la chicken again." I answered wisely. Remus snickered softly as Sirius jutted out his upper lip and turned his head away, arms folded over his chest, looking very much like a child.
"ignoring the three –"
"four" I corrected.
" – four year old, how are you Alice? Here with your family?" Remus asked.
"just Emmett and Rosalie. Their off somewhere being all couple like." She said, wrinkling her nose with a smile.
"I hate it when they do that. You should hear Remus and Sirius in the morning –" I was cut off by Remus and Sirius.
"Harry!" they said, Remus bright red and Sirius barely flushed but his head ducked slightly. Alice and I exchange one look before we both burst into laughter at their embarrassment.
When the shopping trip ended I had to admit I was glad, if I never went shopping with Alice Cullen again, it'd be too soon. She can go for hours! Although it was amusing to see her fuss over Sirius as she helped Remus pick out clothes for Sirius.
I sprawled out on my bed, my laptop perched infront of me as I started to type my replies to my friends emails from the day before.
"Harry?" I groaned loudly as Remus entered.
"no more shopping!" I groaned my complaint half heartedly. Remus chuckled.
"no, no more shopping." Remus chuckled. "but we do have a surprise for you. So either you get up and follow me, or I can throw you over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes and carry you to it." I quickly climbed off the bed and motioned for him to lead the way. "good choice." Remus said.
Remus smiled as he led me back to the main house and then, much to my confusion, out into the garage.
"hey kiddo." Sirius said. "I see Remus didn't need to use more drastic measures." He said conversationally.
"no, no. I'm certain I wouldn't have liked said drastic measures." I told them evenly. Sirius gave an almost ferocious grin.
"why ever would you think that?" Sirius said, blinking at me innocently. I narrowed my eyes at him even as Remus coughed loudly to catch our attention.
"Sirius, I believe you wanted to show him." and Sirius was suddenly jumping up and down, looking very much like a four year old after getting a new toy. He grabbed Remus and I'd wrists, tugging us into his sectioned off and rarely useed portion of the garage.
"TADA!" Sirius chirped. I blinked rapidly at what I saw.
There sat a 4wd Lexus RX 350. It wasn't a huge attention grabber, but was good for the roads. a 4wd Lexus RX 350 wasn't Sirius style of car, he wanted extravagant and big, shiny and attention grabbing. This wasn't his kind of car, maybe Remus' but not his.
"Sirius, why did you buy another car? You have a mustang." I pointed out.
"well, I figured I couldn't force to you drive the motorcycle during the winter, it's too icy and cold for that. Remus would have my head, so tada!" I stared at him for a moment before looking back at the car.
"Sirius, please don't tell me you just bought me a car." I asked him softly.
"I can do no such thing." Sirius stated. "all I'll say is it is a good thing you have your license." I groaned.
"you bought me a car Sirius." I whined. "normal people don't have urges to go out and buy someone a car – they have urges to eat junk food or go shopping excessively." I bemoaned.
"well I never said I was normal." Sirius said with a wicked grin. "the cars great for back roads, and when you're not using it for school Remus could probably use it too. He's always complaining that the mustang isn't safe for driving." Sirius said with a snort. It's perfectly safe, and fast too…" I tuned Sirius rant about the wonders of mustangs out and turned to Remus.
"certainly you didn't condone him buying me a bloody car, right moony?" I asked.
"I'm sorry cub. But you need a way around, I won't always be able to drive you in and pick you up. This is just easier for everyone." Remus said unapologetic. "I know you don't want us spending a lot of money on you, but let Sirius do this one thing, he feels terrible for missing all those birthdays and christmas'."
"but you both sent presents and cards." I argued.
"but we weren't there, and a Christmas at your parents house doesn't sound much like Christmas at all." Remus soothed. "once he gets this out of his system, I'm sure he'll stop. Until then I'll put a limit on his spend, okay cub?" Remus asked, watching Sirius with mild amusement.
"alright." I conceded. "but try and get him over whatever unneeded guilt he's feeling fast okay? I don't want him going through his fortune on me." I stated, frowning at Sirius.
"will do cub." Remus promised.
The next few days passed as a blur for me, I was dreading school. Sirius wasn't really helping either, with his suggestions on how to survive. Such as the suggestion yesterday that I wear my steal toe work bots to school so I can kick the people that approach me and make a break for it.
His other suggestions weren't much better, though they were amusing.
When the first day of school came I got myself ready and went out to the car, where Remus Sirius and teddy were waiting. When Remus was distracted with teddy Sirius attempted to hand me a small spray can of something.
"take it." Sirius whispered.
"Sirius I said no!" Remus said as he walked over, grabbing the spray can. "Harry can not and will not spend the day spraying everyone with pepper spray." He snapped. Sirius pouted, crossing his arms and stuck out his tongue childishly. Remus rolled his eyes.
"fine." Sirius pouted. "have a good day at school cub." Sirius told me, pressing a quick kiss to my forehead. Why did he have to do that?
"not likely." I mutter as he turn to Remus. "bye moony." I said.
"have fun cub."
"again, not likely. I have trigonometry second period." I told him mournfully. I looked down at teddy wagging the tip of my index figner in his face. "you be good and don't spit up on Remus – aim for Sirius." I said with a wink. Sirius mock scowled at me while teddy giggled, grasping my finger and shaking it. I puklled away, prying my finger loose.
"see you after school." I said as I walked to my car, my bag in hand.
"have fun!"
"I said not likely!" I shot right back. I climbed into my car and set out for the evilest thing in the life of a teenager – highschool.
Thank you reviews for you're input.
I have added the disclaimer as it was pointed out that it was missing, thanks for pointing it out.
I know the story still has a few mistakes each chapter, but at the moment I do not have a Beta, so I am trying my best to catch any mistakes that I make. I apologise if I've missed some.
I've decided to keep harrys gift a bit of a secret for now, so you'll all see.
The other blacks, billy and jacob will be in this fanfic, as Sirius cousins, but as you can see Harry Remus and Sirius will still reside in Forks.
Jasper is still a vampire, and is still living with the Cullens.
James potter will be entering the story again later, but I won't go too much further into that, as it won't be happening for a little while. Let's just say James realizes the errors of his ways.
I know this post doesn't include when he begins school but at this very moment, writing has become difficult. My niece and nephew both have been staying at my house this week and probably will be here into next week as well and unfortunately my nephew has grown attached to pressing buttons – especially computer power buttons.
I've had to keep writing everything over, so for now I will post this, and try and post something again soon.
Truly,
Devils-Divide.
