After Lily and James and then Seth and Caly got married everything settled down. Jake and I only left the cabin for the weddings but after that we stayed put for the next weeks until we had to leave for school. Eating, sleeping, making love, and hunting took up our time in the unforgettable cabin.
It was the weekend now and on Monday we were leaving for school. Lily and James had been made Head Boy and Girl which they were ecstatic about because they got their own dorm. Jake and I always shared a bed at school so there wasn't a big problem with us but Seth and Leah were really upset. They were leaving their imprints and wouldn't see them until Christmas.
I understand their pain, I hate it when Jake and I are separated even for just a few minuets. Sirius and Caly were also dreading school for the same reason as their mates, it hurts to leave the one you love. James and I were captains of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and Remus was a prefect again. Sirius wasn't good enough to get a special title.
I was packing now along with Jake. My Quidditch stuff was in my athletic bag while my clothes, cloaks, shoes, toiletries, cauldrons, books, notebooks, pens, and other school supplies went into my large cedar trunk that I take every year with me.
I hadn't been feeling well lately, I was extremely tired, dizzy almost and this morning I got sick. I've never been sick before. I'm sure it's just a cold though, Sirius went for a twelve mile run with me yesterday morning in the pouring down rain.
So that's probably where I got it, I just hope it goes away soon. I noticed Caly wasn't feeling either, she had the same symptoms as me, plus she's drinking water constantly. Her bladder must be huge, if I drank the amount of water she drinks in an hour I would pee a pond. I bet she goes when she's in the water, poor Seth, at least he cant feel the heat.
Apollo, my black and white owl, was sleeping in his cage while I packed everything away. I grabbed a duffle bag placing my uniform, black cloak and ballet flats into the bag along with a brush, my ipod, and a few books. I would need those for the train ride, and when we got to Hogwarts we had to be in uniform. I hated our uniforms, I thought they were ugly.
The girls wore long white button up shirts with a gray vest over top. The vest had the girls house crest on the left breast along with the appropriate tie. We were to wear a black pleated skirt with black knee high socks and close toed shoes.
The guys wore black pants, a white button up shirt, vest, tie and we all were to wear cloaks. Only after school hours and during the weekends could we wear normal clothing. James, Sirius, Jake and I always got in trouble because we rolled our sleeves up and loosened our ties all the time.
I don't see what the problem is as long as I'm wearing it they should be thankful, there are many days I want to burn my outfit and do a dance of happiness around the fire.
Walking downstairs I saw my family and Jakes pack sitting around the living room. Poor Rosalie looked like she was going to pass out if she could, obviously the smell was getting to her. They smiled in greeting but went back to talking. I stood next to Jake touching his hand. 'What's going on?' He leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Dumbledore sent Carlisle a letter asking him, your family and the pack to come with us on Monday to Hogwarts. He wants to talk with us, says it's important.
I've already told the pack they're going, your family is going too. They're deciding on travel options." He said and I nodded, I wonder Dumbledore wanted to tell us. 'They could Floo with us to the Leaky Cauldron and then ride the train. That way we wont get separated.' I thought knowing he would hear as we held hands.
"That's true, that would be better too actually. We wouldn't have to worry about people finding platform nine and three quarters." I smiled, yes the pack is smart but I don't think would know that they had to run through a wall to get to the train.
My father was obviously listening to our conversation and brought up our ideas. "Nessie and Jacob brought up a good point, why don't we Floo over with them and then ride the train, it would be the only way that we would get there safely and together."
The wolves nodded obviously excited but looked to their alpha for commands. "You will be coming with me to Hogwarts on Monday. Pack and overnight bag with extra clothes in case we need to phase. The train leaves at eleven so we will be leaving at eight.
Be here, at the Cullen's, at seven. We'll probably leave around eight oh and wear a shirt and shoes."
Jake said in his alpha voice, the others nodded in acknowledgement. "Will there be enough room and food?" Alice asked obviously curious. My family had never been to Hogwarts before.
"Oh yeah, Hogwarts is huge and its magically bigger on the inside so there is more than enough room." I said. "Leah you can sleep in my bed." Sirius said while Leah giggled.
"Sirius if you forget to put up a silence charm on your bed I'm going to hurt you!"
I said rolling my eyes while James laughed.
"I forget one time and you wont let me forget it!"
"Sirius your silence charms suck! I always redo them. My god you are so loud and obnoxious it sounds like a dieing cat."
"I second that motion!" James and Remus said together, the boys shared a dorm.
"Bloody hell Ness, I think your just jealous that I'm getting good sex and you're not!"
"Yep, that's it, defiantly. All Blacks suck in bed, you know the reason those girls are so damn loud is probably because they're doing all the work."
"If I suck in bed so much why did they keep on coming back?"
"Oh shut up Sirius, if it weren't for me you wouldn't have gotten half of the girls you fucked, hell you wouldn't have gotten Leah if I hadn't introduced you."
"You know Nessie you are such a bitch sometimes."
"Coming from the guy who's motto is live life, get paid, get laid. Yep I'm defiantly crying over that comeback."
"Well at least I can do whatever I want and my parents wont care."
"Your parents kicked you out dumbass!"
"That's beside the point, the point is I can get as many tattoos, drink as much as I want, get laid as much as I want and still have a shit load of money to back me up!"
"Your parents kicked you out for hanging out with half breeds and blood traitors."
"Yeah Ness, I chose you over my family."
"You chose me over your family because you went into Gryffindor when we were sorted our first year, your parents wanted you to be in Slytherin like every other person in your family. You weren't their perfect little pureblood boy anymore so they moved on to Regulas."
"Wait…what are we talking about again?"
"Hmm…I don't know?"
"Oh, lets get something to drink."
"Okay, I think the fire whiskey is up in my trunk though."
Everyone was quiet and just stared at us, "No comment." Jasper said shaking his head, I laughed. Sirius and I had fights like these all the time, it was always over something stupid and we go through four, five different topics and then forget what we even started fighting about. Defiantly time to check to into a mental hospital.
All of our trunks, and owls, were downstairs in front of the fireplace. I was still tired, Jake and I were up late last night and then I got sick again this morning when Jake went to kiss me. He's worried about me, I can tell by the way he is acting.
I told him I was fine, it's just a cold and nerves about going to school. The pack was here and we were counting off to make sure everyone was here and ready to go. Remus was explaining how Floo powder worked.
"Okay, well what your going to do is take about half a handful of Floo powder and throw it into the fire. Then you're going to step into the fire and say, very clearly, where you want to go. You're not going to catch fire, if you were obviously we would be going there a different way.
We're going to the Leaky Cauldron, when you get there stay there, don't go anywhere. Lily, and Remus are going first for demonstration. Ness, Jake, Sirius and myself will be going last and we will take your bags so leave them here. It's really easy, it feels weird the first time but you'll be okay."
They nodded and Lily went to take her handful. "The Leaky Cauldron." She said throwing it in as the fire turned green swallowing her whole and making her disappear. Remus followed in suit saying the location.
Caly, Leah, Seth, Embry, Quil, Brady, Paul, Jared, the twins, Austin and Derik, Dan, Matt, the other twins, Finny and Aaron, Tony, Alice, Jasper, Bella, Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Rose, and Emmet. Now it was just me, Jake, James and Sirius.
We shrunk the trunks and bags putting them into our pockets and then took the birds. I was the last to Floo, and was soon stepping into the familiar oak mead smell of the Leaky Cauldron.
Thank god everyone made it to the bar okay, I saw Sam, the owner, cleaning some glasses while people read the Daily Prophet. I smiled in hello before we all headed out towards the train station down the street. "Now when we get there we'll have to go in groups, we can't all run through the wall it would be to much and the muggles would notice." I told Jake and he nodded. All of us were leading a group. In my group I had Embry, Quil, Brady, Austin and Derik.
We were going first, so I quickly explained what to do, "The train is in a secret location, the platform is nine and three quarters so we are going to pass through that wall between platforms nine and ten. It's best to take a running start, don't worry you wont run into the wall."
I said smiling when they looked at me crazy. We stood in a group, I was in the front and when the coast was clear for ran threw the wall and onto the other side where the beautiful red Hogwarts Express steam engine stood waiting. I smiled as they looked in wonder.
"Magic is pretty cool, wait until you see the castle." I said leading them away from the wall. The others soon joined us, everyone was in awe while the rest of us just walked around, this was normal to us.
Turns out Dumbledore had known we were coming by train and how big the group was so he had reserved an entire train car for my family.
At eleven o'clock the train started moving, pulling out of the station and into the countryside towards Hogwarts. Jake had his arm around me while I looked out the window, Lily, James, and Remus were at the prefects meeting so it was just me, Jake, Caly, Sirius, Leah and Seth in a compartment, my family was in the other one across the aisle. Caly was asking me questions about school,
"What classes are there?"
"Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, Astrology, Ancient Runes, Divination, and Herbology, and Magical History."
"Are the teachers nice?"
"Yeah, they're really nice, they seem tough with the class work but they're really nice."
"Is the food any good?"
"Oh yes! Even I like it, and I don't eat that much human food as it is."
"How are the classes split up?"
"Classes are split up based on year but since we're all in the same house, I'm going to assume you're going to be in Gryffindor, then all of our classes will be together. We get paired with another house in classes and activities."
"When do we have to wear our uniform?"
"During the school hours, other than that they don't care."
"When's curfew?"
"Well technically it's ten with fifth years and up, anything below that is nine but since you hang around us we have no curfew, the teachers just don't know it."
She laughed, "Good to know, is there any water sources near by?"
"Yeah, the Black Lake, it's not the best lake though, it's kind of scary but the waters black and I cant see anything, obviously you would be able too." I hated the Black Lake, it was black and creepy, a giant squid lives in there and always ends up beaching itself going after a student. It creeps me out, I hate that lake and don't want Caly in it.
"Yeah, I'll be able to tell what's in the lake, if its dangerous and what's in the water. I'm sure it's fine, it's just deep making the water look dark." I nodded, I still not going near that lake and the beaching squid. I heard my father chuckle under his breath, I shot him a glare.
The whole ride there we spent talking, some people came to say hello like Alice and Frank Longbottom who were also in our year and sometimes sat with us at meals. They had gotten married over the summer because of the marriage law but they had been dating since fourth year. I think it's adorable.
Frank was also on the Quidditch team, he was the keeper so the guys talked Quidditch while I introduced Alice to my family. Alice, my aunt, loved her instantly. This is going to be confusing, and my poor mother looked ready to have a heart attack at the sight of two Alice's'.
The scenery started to change into a more woodsy landscape meaning we were close, Lily said it would be about an hour now so we all changed into our uniforms. I think Alice was going to have a fit when she saw us in our uniforms. Pulling on the cloaks we arrived leaving our trunks, the guys followed along with my family but Caly had to go with the first years to be sorted, I hugged her telling her they were going in boats and to be careful. She nodded, kissed Seth and took off towards Hagrid, the grounds keeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher.
He was fun to talk to, I always enjoyed his company. He was half giant so he was huge, much bigger than Jake. Dumbledore was waiting at the Castle doors for us, "Hello, you boys are more than welcome to come to the welcoming feast, there will be plenty of food, and as for the Cullen's you may join us or explore the castle."
He said smiling, the familiar mischievous twinkle in his blue eyes. Everyone wanted to come to the welcoming feast and see Caly be sorted so we all filled in and sat in our usual seat. Everyone was staring at the wolves, who wouldn't with their tall, dark, muscular builds. Plus they were big boys too and weren't in uniform but in cut off sweats, flip flops, and t-shirts.
My family was dressed to impress. They defiantly stood out as we walked down the middle aisle to the Gryffindor table. We took our normal seats in the middle of the table, the wolves took up a great deal. Malfoy and his group was staring at us from across the room. I glared at him from across the room which he smirked at but when Jake, Jasper, and my father glared at him from across the room he instantly cowered. "Stupid Slytherin."
I whispered while Dumbledore said his speech. "Welcome students, and guests. We will start with the sorting and then the feast." He said and Professor McGonagall led Caly and the first years towards the sorting hat which was placed on the old stool in the front of the room. Caly seemed nervous as she walked towards the stool. McGonagall stood behind the stool with the list of students.
"Calypso Jones." Caly walked towards her and sat on the stool, Minnie placed the hat on her head, "Interesting, you're very smart so you would do well in Ravenclaw, but clever and sneaky as well, Slytherin would do that well but I see a lot of bravery and loyalty…GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted and our table cheered. I hugged her as she sat beside Seth who kissed her cheek.
"That hat can talk?" Jasper said in awe, I nodded, "Jasper, we have moving stairs, fake skies, ghosts, talking pictures, and other cool stuff. Look up at the ceiling." Everyone looked up at the starry sky that filled the Great Hall. Clouds were scattered covering the crescent moon, the blues and dark purples were swirled together making it look just like outside. The candles floating above reflected off of each other giving the Hall a golden glow.
We only got about ten first years who were sorted into Gryffindor, we all greeted them warmly and then Dumbledore stood to finish his speech.
"I would like to remind everyone that Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students along with the third corridor. Quidditch practice must be scheduled with your head of house at the beginning of each week. Now I'm sure you all are hungry so tuck in and stay out of trouble." I swear to god he was looking right at me and Sirius when he said that, we grinned which he instantly returned. Like I said that old man is pretty damn cool.
The food appeared and I think Embry and Quil were going to cry because the food was so good, and unlimited. I thought the boys ate a lot at home, I guess I was wrong because they had about seven servings each. Sirius, James and Remus were right up there with them with all the food they consumed. This is in ridiculous that they eat that much.
The house elves are defiantly getting a good run for their money. They always more than enough food for the students but today there wasn't enough. Of course the Slytherins looked at us like the "pigs" we are as we all stuffed our faces. "Prefects will take you to your houses and give you the passwords. Have a goodnight and I must say lemon drops are my favorite." Dumbledore said winking in our direction. "Lemon drops in the password to his office, we'll take you there." I said standing up. Remus, Lily and James went to help students go to their houses.
We walked down the halls, everyone staring at us as they were in the Great Hall. "Cullen, I see you officially became Blacks whore." Malfoy said as his group laughed behind him. "I see you married your cousin, last time I checked that was called incest." The Malfoys and Blacks were related through marriage, they strongly believed in pure blood so a lot of their family was "inbred". Lucisious Malfoy had married Sirius's sister Narcissa Black.
"Filthy half-breed." He said in disgust staring me down. My father growled obviously hearing his thoughts. "You have a lot of nerve saying that to me Malfoy, you better watch yourself." I said as Jake pulled me closer. "Is that a threat?" He said obviously thinking he could take this to Dumbledore as a threat. "No…that's a promise." I said in my most scariest voice.
In truth as tough as Malfoy liked to act he was a huge fruitcake. I walked past him glaring them all down, especially Jakes cousin, Bellatrix. She was Sirius's twin sister and she was crazy. They looked a lot alike but personality wise complete opposites. She seemed to think that I was a freak because their family somehow knew all about my family and what we are. I think she needs to be put into a mental hospital but who am I to judge.
We came to the phoenix statue and I said the password, the statue jumped aside revealing the stairs to his office. I knocked, "Come in." I opened the door and everyone filled in, Jake stayed, he was alpha, but I turned to leave. "Nessie, this concerns you, Caly you are to stay as well." Dumbledore said, I stopped closing the door and took my place beside Jake.
"I'm sure you are all wondering why I asked you to come here." Dumbledore said, we nodded. "I have some good news…and bad news. The good news is-"
"Are-are you serious?!" My father said suddenly obviously reading Dumbledore's thoughts. Whatever the good news was, was obviously shocking.
"Yes, Nessie, Caly, you're pregnant." Jakes hand gripped my waist, I heard his heart rate speed up along with mine. My breath was gone, I was shocked. Pregnant?
There was a baby growing inside of me, Jakes baby. My hand moved down to my stomach automatically, Jakes covered mine with his own. I looked up at him and he was smiling. His eyes caught mine and he beamed, he was proud. "I'm going to have a baby!" He said grinning, I think that was directed towards my father. "Oh it was." He answered but smiled, daddy was happy too. I looked at Caly as she was smiling along with Seth, that kid looked like he was going to explode with giddiness.
"Wait, how do you know we're pregnant?" I asked as the thought crossed my mind. "A prophecy was made. Which brings me to the bad news. There was a reason the marriage law was confirmed and made official. Voldemort is the reason for all the major catastrophes in the world that have happened lately. Nearly twelve million muggles and seven million muggleborns and half-breeds have died in the last four months, including your friend Nahuel and his sisters.
Voldemort plans to kill all muggles and muggleborns so the entire world is just purebloods and half-breeds or people who are half and half. Obviously not all people are going to be pureblood. Voldemort plans on asking the wolves to join him in his attempt to take over the world. In the process of his research about the wolves he discovered Nessie.
Nessie you're very powerful, your special talent is incredible, you are capable of many things. Jacob you are also very powerful, the Alpha of a very large pack of wolves and an extremely talented wizard. Your children will be incredible, and Voldemort knows that, not only does he want the pack but he wants your children as well. Caly, you are the heiress to the Flying Dutchmen, you share the same powers as your mother, who was princess of Atlantis, and your father. Seth is the beta of Jacob ranking him in power as well, Seth you are linked to Caly through imprintation which will make your children extremely powerful as well. He wants your children and he will do everything he can to get them. Do not under estimate him, you are safe here at the castle but not on your own. You must come here, bring your families and belongings. I want you here by Wednesday, the castle is heavily warded, no one can get in or get out without my knowing or permission.
The Cullens, I also expect you here as well, you don't have to live in the castle but among the grounds. Carlisle you can stay in the castle of build a house on the grounds. I understand that this is difficult for you to take in all at the same time but please understand when I say you are in danger." Dumbledore said, I was in shock. No one was going to take my kids away if I had anything to say about it. I could see Carlisle and Edward talking, Jake was talking with Seth. I looked at Caly, she smiled. "My pack will stay here, they go home with Seth and return with their families on Wednesday. Embry, Aaron, you're in charge of informing Sam. I want him with you on Wednesday. He's to have his kids and Emily, tell Billy to stay with Charlie. If they ask questions tell them it's a need to know basis. I assume they will be traveling through the Cullens by Floo?"
Jake told the pack and they nodded, not being able to refuse their orders. A lot of the guys were single, only Quil, Jared and Paul had imprinted and they would be bringing their imprints. Dumbledore nodded. My family agreed soon enough, but they wanted a house of their own so they could have privacy. Jake decided to have a patrol going as well around the borders of the school just to keep an eye out for suspicious stuff.
My parents had decided to leave tonight through Dumbledore's fireplace. They decided to take his offer and build a house on the grounds. It was far away from the castle but still close enough, about a five mile trail to the house from the school. The house would be finished by Friday. The wolves were staying in a tower in the castle. The west tower was on the opposite side of the school so they were secluded but Gryffindor was the closest dorm.
The tower was huge, and on the inside it was magically bigger giving every wolf their own room and bathroom. The common room was big too with leather couches and big plasma TV's. The boys were settling right in as everyone made there way to their rooms. Caly was staying with Seth and Leah was coming back to Gryffindor with Sirius. I left directions to the Gryffindor tower along with the password so they were able to get in if needed before we left. It was midnight when Jake finally pulled me against his warm chest, I sighed throwing my leg over his and placing his hand on my stomach we drifted off.
