CHAPTER 1

It was Harry's first day of his last year at Forks high school.
In Britain, he went to a boarding school (courtesy of Sirius and his deceased parents) and that's how he and Draco met, along with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who were also their best friends.
Ron and Hermione had to finish their education in Britain to get their dream jobs. It didn't matter to Harry since he did not have any dream job as of yet.

Harry got up, showered, dressed, and came down the stairs where Draco stood, drinking his coffee.

"Excited, aren't we?"

"Shut up, Draco"

Harry groaned as Draco handed him a cup of coffee.
Draco was already dressed in a dress shirt and a black pants like always, although he allowed himself to get lazy on the weekends.

"Do you want me to drop you off?"

"I guess. My car didn't arrive yet."

Sirius sent his car and other not-so-urgent-things by ship, which took some times. In contrast, Draco already had his car and all of his belongings in the house.

Harry groaned and let Draco lead him out to the garage. Although Teddy would be alone, he shouldn't wake up for about another hour. Fortunately, he was a heavy sleeper just like his mother.

Two men hopped in to a black Bentley Continental. As Draco pulled out of the drive way, Harry watched the trees and multiples of houses passing by. Forks was a foggy place with not a lot of stuff. There were forests and occasionally cabins that are supposed to be restaurants or small convenient stores
Indeed, Draco phrased it as a boring old village that's too small to be a town.

"Don't wet yourself, Harry. Don't want to make a bad first impression"

"For your information, I'm better at socializing than you are at."

"Yet you're still stuck with me"

They continued their bantering until they've reached a small but nice looking high school's parking lot. They must have come early since not a lot of students were at the parking lot. Despite that, everyone was looking at their directions.
Draco laid back on his seat and Harry checked his bag for the last time.

"Teddy would be upset when he wakes up"

Draco mindlessly spoke and Harry sent him a weary smile.

"I told him yesterday. Let's hope not"

Without much thought to it, Harry looked up and suddenly froze in his place. Despite the distance, he was able to stare at the honey golden eyes that stared intently back at him.
Harry sucked up his air and stared back, but before Harry could react, the other man turned away.
He was leaning on to a shiny silver Volvo. His pale skin was almost abnormal and his slightly muscular figure was visible despite the clothes he was wearing.

"Time to go, Harry. Try not to cause hyperventilation"

Draco spoke out loud and Harry teared his gaze away from that mysterious yet handsome guy to the digital clock. It was 7:50 am and a lot of people started to drive in. With a word of goodbye, Harry got off from Draco's car, hearing Draco's half-hearted wishes of luck at the same time.

Of course, all the eyes were on Harry and he had to walk through those eyes and was able to reach to the main office where he got his schedule and a map of the small school.

"Welcome to Forks high school, Mr. Potter"

The nice woman, who sat behind a counter desk, gave Harry's schedule with greetings and Harry politely thanked her back. As Harry walked out, he was able to ask the woman what direction should he walk towards his first class.

Walking on the hall ways was nerve-racking because all the students stared at Harry and whispered at themselves. This wasn't very new to Harry in Britain but that didn't mean he appreciated it. Harry sighed and figured this would be the norm until he settles in completely.

"You're the new transfer student, right?"

Suddenly, an Asian student came up to him and asked in curiosity.

"Yes, I am. Harry Potter."

Harry handed his hand for a hand shake and the boy seemed a little startled by Harry's approach but finally shook hands with him.

"Um.. Eric! Eric Yorkie. I overheard you in the office, well I didn't mean to but I did. And I found out that we have the same first period class!"

Harry politely smiled and let Eric lead him to the class although he already knew where it was. He seemed like a decent kid. Eric talked on and on until they've reached the class.
Apparently, there were only 200 students in this small school and most of them knew each other very well, since their families knew each other's. He also said that they don't get many new students so people might stare at him a lot.
Like he haven't noticed that already.

The first class was not so bad since Harry already knew this back at home. American high school was different from he school he went in Britain. He missed his friends and families. It was one thing that Harry had to sacrifice when he decided to move to America.
Although he had Draco and Teddy, it wouldn't be the same without all of his friends and families together.

After few classes, Eric led Harry to the cafeteria. That's when Harry got to meet everyone.
Upon Introduction, Jessica Stanley must have been the most obnoxious and gossiping girl Harry knew if not for lavender Brown at his old school.
To explain briefly, Lavender was Ron's ex-girlfriend and it is said that she is still pissed at Ron for breaking up with her. The last thing Harry saw in Lavender was the creepy vindictive side of her.
Angela Weber was a shy and polite girl who would only curiously stare at Harry as if to figure out who he was.
Mike Newton seemed like a hot-shot whose family is well-known for wealth. Harry secretively hoped that he wouldn't turn out to be like Draco, although Harry has gotten used to him and could tolerate him. Also, he turned out to be a great friend (believe it or not).
There were few other kids on the table but none of them seemed very interesting than the pale and beautiful people who sat not far away from them and didn't touch the food on their tray.
Unbelievable. Are they seriously going to throw those out without even having a bite? What a complete waste!

Harry innately shouted and stared at them until Jessica snapped him back.

"They are the Cullens"

"Quite extraordinary, they are. And I'm guessing they are related?"

"Oh! How did you know? Well, actually. They aren't technically related. They are all adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife."

"That's nice to hear"

The brolic, tall, and short-haired guy was Emmett. The beautiful blonde next to him was Rosalie Hales. The Pixie was Alice, and the blonde boy who needed sleep was Jasper Hales. And finally, there was Edward Cullen.
He was the one who stared at Harry this morning with a shiny silver Volvo behind him.

They all look so bored and indifferent. They definitely stood out among these students and Harry just wondered what their story for coming here was.

When Harry overheard something about Edward that he doesn't date because none of the girls here were pretty enough for him, Harry swore that he saw Edward Cullen's lip twitch.

"Dr. Culllen and his wife are very beautiful also."

"I've figured that out since they adopted so many kids"

Adopting 5 kids is a very trivial task for a couple and Harry admired the generosity that came from their heart.

"I think they can't have kids"

At that Harry looked away from them and stared at Jessica as if he couldn't believe what she just said.

"Not only was that rude, that was very uncalled for! You can't just say that out loud!"

"Alright- calm down, sheesh. Sooner or later, you would've found out"

"That's not my business nor should it be yours."

Harry snapped and concentrated on eating.

Harry was a man who respected people's privacy and if it got too personal, he backed away. He didn't want to disturb others and he didn't like to hear about them anyways. He couldn't stand anyone who obnoxiously stuck their nose around other people's business.

After lunch, Jessica stayed behind probably to bad-mouth Harry but he didn't really care.

At Biology class, Harry was surprised to see Edward Cullen sitting there, looking bored.

"Ah, Mr. Potter. "

He was introduced to Mr. Molina and let him pick out his new seat.
Apparently, the only empty seat was next to Edward Cullen. Despite that Edward Cullen was sitting in the middle of the class, the seat was strangely unoccupied.

When Harry sat down, Mike Newton came around and tried to make conversations with Harry. Harry occasionally answered and smiled politely until Mike was called to go back to his seat.

Then Harry noticed Edward Cullen staring at him.

"Hello. My name is Harry Potter"

Harry smiled and handed out his hand but Cullen only stared at it and gazed back to Harry's features. Harry only huffed in slight annoyance at the rudeness and tore his gaze away.

"My hands are rather cold. Edward Cullen"

He fluently spoke in a husky voice. Upon hearing the husky voice next to him, Harry looked back at him but found the other looking at the board. Awkward silence went on between the two and Harry awkwardly managed to say 'nice to meet you'.

The class discussed of something that Harry already covered and he twiddled around with a pencil even after he finished the group work with Edward Cullen with ease.

"What happened to your scar?"

Cullen suddenly spoke and Harry automatically pulled his hand up toward the scar, feeling the faded but visible scar with his finger pads.

"Oh. Nothing. I fell down and hit my head somewhere"

Harry felt queasy while saying this, but kept up with his appearance. Cullen didn't seem to buy it.
Well, it's none of his business anyways.

After class, Cullen muttered bye and left the class room before Harry could even say anything to him.
Were all Americans strange like that?

The next class was gym and Harry was much eager to take part. The only thing was that Harry had absolutely no luck in playing sports.
Playing sports was not something that came naturally to Harry, but Harry insisted on playing.

He managed to get a big bruise on the arm by a basketball and a big bump on the head in which he ended up in the nurse to receive an ice packs by the end of the day.

Draco will have a fit, he guessed.

As Harry was leaving the building, he could feel all the stares he was getting from others who were either too shy or awkward to say anything to him.
Harry was a little moody because of his bruised arm and a bumpy head, but all that melted when he heard an angelic voice calling out for him.

"Harwy!"

Harry immediately brightened up at the sight of Teddy bouncing towards him with open arms. It was the brightest smile Harry had ever given to anyone since this morning.

"Teddy!"

He picked up his godson and snuggled him with his arm, possibly smothering the kid.

"Potter!"

Then he heard Draco's voice not far away and saw Draco walking towards them without giving any glance at anyone who was looking at him. Well, looking at them, he supposed.

"What did you do with Uncle Draco?"

"We played,read and ate! It was really fun but I missed Harwy!"

While Harry was cooing at his irresistibly adorable godson, Draco took away the ice pack that Harry was holding and raised one of his eyebrows.

"Harry. What's this rubbish?"

Harry nervously looked up at Draco and placed Teddy down. It wouldn't do good if people spotted them arguing, so Harry managed to smirk at Draco.

"It's called an Ice pack, Draco. Even Teddy knows it"

"You know that's not what I meant. Why do-.. What the hell happened to your arm?"

Draco eyed one of Harry's bruised arm and grabbed it to observe more closely before Harry took it away. Harry cursed inwardly for not wearing an outer jacket before coming out to the parking lot.

"Can't you see I bruised it, Malfoy? Teddy, is Uncle Draco drunk?"

Harry tried to change the topic and led Teddy away to Draco's Bentley. They were not having this conversation so openly where everyone was eyeing and listening to them with amusement and curiosity.

"This conversation is not over, Potter! Can you NOT hurt yourself for more than one day? It's like I'm raising another child!"

Draco exasperatedly muttered so Harry can hear them.

"Well, Technically, I'm still an under-aged child, you ja...erk!"

Before Harry spat out 'Jackass', he quickly filtered it with jerk for the sake of Teddy who was curiously and at the same time confusedly listening and looking at them back and forth.

Draco smirked and Harry suppressed the urge to smack Draco on the head.

"Well, you better get in the back seat and fasten your seat belts. Don't want to get a ticket for letting a child sit in the front seat"

After Harry placed Teddy in his toddler safety seat and shut the door, Draco sarcastically spoke. Harry narrowed his eyes but soon, smiled before spitting out.

"Well, I'm sure you'll manage, you twat"

Harry quickly got in the seat. Draco shook his head as he followed in, took the wheel and drove away.

At the same time, a pair of golden eyes never left from Harry before disappearing in a silver Volvo.

Alright! This is the end of chapter 1 which portrayed Harry's first day at Forks High School. The next chapter will mainly be about Harry, Teddy, and Draco.

To answer one of the reviews I got, no. Harry and Draco do not hate each other. They used to, but not anymore. Insults and surname calling is one of their perks of being 'best friends'. And yes, they did move in to Forks recently. Very recent. Thank you for the reviews!

Again, please watch out for my mistakes and let me know if anyone has any suggestions about anything at all. All of them will be put under my consideration. And Please Review!

Next chapter will be coming up very shortly(:
