Hello people!

For the record, the basics of this story line do not belong to me. It is a re-write of amypop's story "New Wolf in Town".

The characters rightfully belong to J.K. Rowling (The Harry Potter universe) and Stephenie Meyer (The Twilight Saga). The storyline up until the previous (fifth) chapter belongs to the user 'amypop' here on fanfiction (yes, I have permission^^), anything after that is more or less all mine. I have/am going to kidnap a few ideas from at least two different stories here on ff,net, but there will be a while before these come into play so I'll wait with mentioning which ones for quite a while longer.

"Speaking normally"

'Thinking'

(Author's note)

"Telepathy/Pack talking"

"Animals talking"

Following the directions of the magical map (which apparently could function as a GPS route finder thingie if one tapped their wand on where they wanted to go) Haley made it to the parking lot of Forks High in half an hour. The lot was fairly full as the clock was two and Monday classes were in full swing, but the Buick definitely stuck out like a sore thumb as she parked in one of the three available spots. Cars were apparently more adapted for sturdiness than speed or looks in this area, but hey, who needs four wheel drive when magic can get you the same manoeuvrability and power?

The school itself was fairly small, and it couldn't have been further from the towers and turrets of Hogwarts even if it tried. A collection of maroon brick buildings with a sign by the entrance saying "FORKS HIGH SCHOOL, HOME OF THE SPARTANS" on it, situated in the middle of town and surrounded by shrubs and the occasional tree. All in all, an exceedingly normal and fairly boring school the Dursleys probably wouldn't have minded all too much.

'Oh dear Morgana, please don't let them have moved here when they left Privet Drive.' Haley sincerely hoped she didn't jinx it with that, but at the same time their reactions would be very interesting... Hmm, might be worth it to find them and say hi just for the sake of that.

The interior of the school was as normal as the inside and Haley quickly found her way to the secretary's office and knocked. After a faint 'come in' she entered a small waiting room and stepped up to the desk of one Ms. Cope, Secretary, according to her name tag.

"Hello, can I help you? I am sorry, but I don't recognize you miss...?" Ms. Cope trailed off at the end and looked at Haley questioningly. "Rey. My name is Haley Rey, my cousins and I have just moved to town and we are intending to enrol here. I apologize for not letting you know earlier, we've had a few issues along the way and it slipped our minds."

"Ah, it should be alright as long as you give me three to five days to process the paperwork. What are your cousins' names? And what are your birth dates? Do you have your school records from your previous school?"

"My cousins are Hermione Jean Rey, born 13th of February 1986, and Luna Pandora Rey, born 19th of September 1986. My birthday is 31st of July 1986 and my full name is Haley Lily Rey. We moved here from Britain and just finalized the move yesterday. The three of us are mainly home-schooled, we have been since we were eleven, family tradition..."

"Okay, if you are home-schooled I am afraid we will have to test your knowledge to see what year you will end up in. Would it be possible for the three of you to come in tomorrow at four pm for the testing? I would also like to speak to your parents."

"We can come tomorrow, no problem, but I'm afraid our parents won't be there. The three of us are orphans. Myself since I was one, I've been living with my cousins since then, Hermione's parents died in a plane accident eight months ago when they were going to Australia for vacation, you may remember the missing plane last October, Luna's mother died when she was nine and her father passed away a month ago in the London terrorist attacks. After that we just wanted to get away from the memories of it all really. Our family has had an estate not too far from here since forever so we decided to come live here. We are all emaciated in the UK, so technically we shouldn't need our parents."

"Oh, I am sorry, I did not mean to bring up any bad memories for you. It will be alright as long as the three of you show up. Just remember to bring your identification papers with you." The red-haired woman sent her a look that could only be described as pitying, something Haley well and truly hated.

"Okay. Could you do us a favour and not tell anyone about our parents? We've had enough of pity back home..."

"Of course miss Rey, but I am afraid I will have to tell Professor Greene, the headmaster. I will also require your address."

"That would be acceptable. We live up by Thunder creek, not far from Thunder lake, twelve miles north-east of town. Our family may be known as the Reys now, but we still own the old family manor out there. I'm afraid we don't really have an address, the road doesn't have a name to be honest, so the mail has some troubles reaching us there... We have a post box set up here in town and check it every day." In truth the post box was charmed to link to a mail box in the family dining room, but there was no need for the muggles to know that.

"I see, that should work out fine. Am I correct in assuming then that you are talking about the old Peverell manor? I have heard about it but never actually been there, not many have." Haley was a bit surprised people still remembered the name of the Peverells. She wasn't entirely sure of how the wards worked and what muggle repelling properties they had, that was something to put Hermione on researching.

"Yes, that would be the one. Thankfully it's been maintained over the years, I wouldn't fancy cleaning up at least 18 years of dust..."

"No I doubt anyone would find that amusing. Do you know what courses the three of you are going to select or do you want a pamphlet to look through what we offer? Depending on how well the tests go tomorrow you may end up taking different classes with different years." Ms. Cope waved her hand towards the rainbow of pamphlets on the desk next to her.

"A pamphlet would be appreciated. We have a basic idea, but as we haven't taken proper classes for quite a while it would be good to know what you offer."

"Of course. The ones you are looking for are the blue ones." Haley reached for the blue papers closest to her. "No, the light blue ones, the dark blue are the drugs and alcohol guidelines. Take three of the white ones with green border as well, those are the school maps."

"Oh, thank you. Is that all?"

"In a minute, I'll print the course requirements for you first. Just don't forget to be here tomorrow at four and bring your ID's and a list of what courses you wish to take. We have a few mandatory classes that you are required to take although if you have done everything they cover and the tests go well enough you could get a passing grade without taking the full class here. There you go, the basic outlines and requirements for the classes we provide."

Haley took the offered pile of papers, thanked the secretary and headed back to her car. The clock had reached three by then and some of the classes had just ended. More than one student had noticed the unexpected addition to the parking lot and speculated on who on earth would be driving a car like that so far from civilisation. Unnoticed by Haley the car had even attracted the attention of a few car interested, very pale and very very beautiful students who chose to stay away from the crowd.

"Hey Alice, do you think that the next time we move maybe we should go for vintage cars instead? That one looks awesome!" The biggest one asked a small, pixie-like girl. She got a faraway look on her face before declaring that it was possible but she didn't know anything about it yet.

When she approached every head snapped up to watch her, the unknown beauty who most likely was connected to the car, but no one was able to muster the courage to speak to her. A few turned their heads towards the Cullens, thinking there may be some connection to the wealthy and undeniably beautiful family who arrived a year and a half earlier, but turned back when they found the five pale students looked just as puzzled as them, if not more. Haley decided to largely ignore the mass of people and got into her car after shooting them a quick smile.

The drive home was eventless and soon she was back in the library to dump all the papers before heading out to the grounds to find Luna. Hermione barely noticed her arrival, only glancing up at the door when the younger girl softly closed it, before noting the new papers in the table and quickly reading them through and going back to her previous book.

A large pale wolf was laying in a meadow together with an even larger three headed dog when a black wolf, slightly bigger than the pale one, broke through the tree line and playfully threw itself on the resting canines. After a few minutes of playing around in which all three ended up equally muddy and wet (It's Forks, of course it was raining) the two smaller ones got up and started heading towards the direction the black one came from. The Cerberus half rose but a soft whine from one of the others had him laying down again to sleep.

Luna and Haley shifted back to human form and ran the rest of the way to the library to meet with Hermione. The girl in question looked up when they arrived and possessively pulled her book closer.

"Relax Mione, as long as you pay attention we won't kidnap your book again. Probably."

"Oh shut it Hales. How did it go?"

"It went well, I told them we have been home-schooled since we were eleven so we'll have to go there tomorrow at four to take some tests and see in what classes we will be. And I told her about our parents, although I said your dad died a month ago in the London terrors. And I am so sorry Luna, I saw what he did, I just wasn't quick enough to stop his fall. At least he died knowing he saved someone else. He was a good man." Haley pulled Luna in for a hug. "If you want I can write down the facts of what I told her for you. Anyway, those papers are what courses the school provides, course requirements and three school maps. Read them through and we'll see what classes we'll be taking."

Twenty minutes later they had gone through all the papers and more or less memorized the maps. The concept of several small buildings was unfamiliar to them after almost seven years of schooling in a gigantic castle, but at least there were no moving staircases that would send you to the wrong floor half the time, no doors pretending to be walls (or worse – the opposite) and hopefully no random petrifying snakes in the basement.

Dinner was a calm affair and afterwards they went for a short run before going to bed. Even Hermione had been pulled from the library with only a token of protest and enjoyed the impromptu three-way wrestling match in the mud on the forest's edge. She was also formally introduced to Fluffy and got somewhat frustrated by her inability to properly understand him beyond basic body language. Atoria and Misty had been less than impressed upon their return and all but ordered them to the nearest bathroom to clean up before even thinking about going to bed.

I know I wrote in the last chapter this would include the entire first week, but it kind of snowballed and if I had I'm not sure it would've been out this year so please forgive me for that... On the other hand what started out as a simple case of fudge-I-need-to-write-down-dates-and-so-on-or-I'll-be-completely-lost now has evolved into 27 A5 pages worth of notes on a little bit of everything on who is paired with whom (original pairings for amypop's version of this story has been officially thrown out the window by the way), what to do about the Volturi (or rather I have a fairly detailed account of how to destroy the entire Volturi by only adding one factor, nope, not telling, it's waaay in the future^^), the Flamel family (not very involved), spectrespecs (in a fairly roundabout way related to the pairings), school placements (coming up in the next chapter), Fluffy and snidgets (there is a reason for both of them, promise), which house elf is what etc... I need a new notebook, only have around ten blank pages left.

You may have noticed that I pushed up the HP timelines six years to match Twilight, putting this fic in the year 2004. I also had to change Hermione and Luna's birthdates because I wanted them all in the same year. Since Hogwarts separates years depending on what side of September 1st you are born on (I think) I can legitimately say all three are born the same year and put them in the same year in Forks even if Luna was originally a year lower. And since Hermione and Luna are supposed to be born -79 and -81 originally (19th of September 1979 for Hermione and 13th of February 1981 for Luna) I decided to simply switch their birthdays around and make it the same year (1986).

And yes, I killed off Hermione's parents on their way to Australia, it's not just an explanation provided to the school. And like I mentioned earlier Xenophilius fought and was killed in the Battle of Hogwarts, he died after taking Lavender's place in the tumble out a window and subsequent attack from Fenrir Greyback. So Lav-Lav lives and crazy yellow-robed guy dies, okay?

For the sake of the timeline (I had to make one, I really confused myself first...) I'll provide a list of what happened which day and so on.
