AN: This chapter we won't get Hermione's POV at all. This chapter will come from the POV of two different people. It's time to start seeing some of the plans Percy has in mind and also Jake is calling in a favor from the Cullen's. With that said I hope you enjoy this new chapter and please review! Clumsy!

Percy Weasley POV
He'd found a way into the woods using magic to disguise his scent so the stupid creatures couldn't detect him. He'd been watching this shifting wolf pack and the girl with Hermione. He'd decided that she would be the easiest to use if he could find an opportunity to get her alone.
He'd had to go back to Port Angeles and hole up while his brother and Potter were here along with Malfoy. He couldn't put his plans into action if they were there, Potter and Malfoy being Aurors would catch on too quickly for him to accomplish what he'd travelled all this way to do!
They were gone now with a promise to return, so that meant he needed to begin quickly. That bitch killed his brother and niece and she had to pay!
The wolves were gone now and she was hanging laundry on a line outside. He was wary of hexing her while Hermione was unaccounted for but time was running out and he needed someone on the inside. So he cautiously approached her from behind and raised his wand.
"Imperio!" He whispered. When she turned to look at him with blank eyes he was satisfied. Now to get her into the forest and out of the open yard.
"Follow me now." Percy said, and Emily turned and followed him without a care in the world. She felt at peace.
"Now tell me your name and then have a seat on that log."
"Emily Young." She answered as she sat down.
"Alright Emily I want you to listen very closely. After dinner two nights from now you will ask Hermione Granger to come for a walk with you, say whatever you must to get her to go and tell nobody where you are headed or where you've been when you return without Hermione. You will bring her to the creek with the waterfall. Do you know the place I mean or do I need to show you where it is?" Percy asked her.
"I know already."
"Perfect. Now remember; you will tell no-one that I've spoken with you or that anything has happened. If Granger seems to question your behavior just tell her you're not feeling well."
"Alright." Emily agreed.
"Now, tell me what your duties are so that we're sure nothing goes wrong." He ordered.
"Bring Hermione to the waterfall in two days after dinner and don't speak to anyone about you." She repeated her orders back to him.
"Very good Emily." He reached out and ran a finger from her hairline all the way down her cheek. "It's a shame I have to remain unseen or we could take the time to have some fun together. Instead you have to hurry back so you're not missed." He fisted her hair and got right in her face. "Remember nobody better find out!"
She turned and left the forest and returned to the wet clothes just as Hermione had come out of the house to help with some of the chores.

Jacob POV
Jacob pulled out his cell phone after he woke up and dialed a number from memory. For the first time in a very long time seeing her name on the phone brought a smile instead of sadness or pain.
"Hello?" A girl answered.
"Hey Bells! How is my favorite Vamp girl?" Jake joked.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! You're so funny I forgot to laugh. What's up Jake?" Bella asked her best friend.
"I need help Bells. I need help from all of the Cullen's, is it alright if I come over now?" Jake inquired with a clenching of his gut; he hated having to ask the leeches for anything even though he'd made peace with them. He and Edward were even friends of a sort, but it just went against the grain to ask a vampire for anything! But he would do whatever he had to, to keep his girl safe!
"Sure Jake you're always welcome here, you know that. Besides Renesmee learned a new song on the piano that she wants to play for you, after all you are her favorite godfather! Are you alright Jake?"
"Heading that way now and no I'm not alright but I will tell you all about it when I get there. Plus, of course I'm her favorite because I'm awesome Bells!" He laughed as he hung up the phone.
Fifteen minutes later he emerged from the woods in cut off shorts and that's all. Barefoot and shirtless he made his way to the front door that was opening already and then he saw a blur racing at him.
He smiled as he caught Nessie when she threw herself in his arms.
"Jacob! I got a new dress, and a computer game, and I learned a new song and wrote a poem all by myself! I learned to ride a bike because mama said I should but I don't like it at all; it's very slow." Nessie said all this very quickly.
"Slow down squirt! After I talk to your mama and dad I want to hear that new song and poem and I don't blame you for not liking the bike, it is slow." He told his favorite Cullen other than Bella.
As they reached the porch Bella and Edward came through the door shaking their heads and laughing. "She wouldn't sit still once she knew her Jacob was coming. She had to tell you everything she's done since you were here last week." Edward said.
Jake kissed her little nose and said, "That's cause she's my girl aren't you Nessie?"
"Yep!" She said perkily.
"Alright kiddo, will you go play for a little while so I can talk to your family before you read me that poem?" Jake asked sending her off.
When Nessie had disappeared into the house he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Bella. She may stink like a vamp but she's still the best friend he'd ever had and it felt good to feel friendship without the mixed up love story. Imprinting had settled the left over feelings that had kept him in a state of depression after she chose Cullen.
"I have a lot to tell you Bells; so much has happened and this time it's me coming for help instead of to help." Jake told her seriously.
"Come in Jake, we're all here for you." Edward offered.
"Thanks. I wouldn't even ask if it wasn't so important." Jacob said as he walked through the door.
Greetings passed with Jake and all the Cullen's except for Rosalie who remained stubbornly in an intense and mutual dislike with Jake. When everyone was greeted and present Jake began to talk about what had happened.
He told them about imprinting on 'Mione and her friends showing up. He kept what had happened to her to himself but said that some bad things had happened to her and her friends said this guy might be coming after her. He needed help with patrolling and keeping her safe because he couldn't lose her now!
"Can we meet her Jake? I'm curious about the girl my best friend is in love with." Bella asked excitedly. "Of course we'll help you. God knows you've done it for me enough!"
"Thanks Bells, you don't know how much this means. I will bring her to meet you as soon as she agrees. Don't worry about anything either because she already knows about Vampires as she's a witch." He told the group. "Apparently she went to a Christmas party one year when she was in school and met one there. But she already knew about them at that point, she'll probably be fascinated by your whole family if I know her at all." He laughed.
After they all agreed that they would gather again tomorrow and Jake would bring 'Mione with him he did his duty as Godfather. He listened to Nessie play Edward's piano and then praised her poem and told her it was the best poem he'd ever heard. He spent two hours with Nessie and then said his farewells and headed home to his girl.

When he got to the treaty line Sam was there waiting for him. He stayed in the tree line and phased back to human so they could walk while they talked.
"I think we have a problem Jake." Sam started. At Jake's raised eyebrow he continued. "I got home and everything seemed okay but I got a strange sense that something was off. When I hugged Em there was a male scent around her face and hair. I asked her who she'd seen today and she told me it was just the pack and Hermione."
"That's certainly strange." Jake agreed.
"It gets weirder. I did a circuit of the land at home and she never left the area, so that means someone was here. But when I tried to find the scent of the male it disappeared in the trees. As if he just disappeared out of nowhere which leads me to believe it may be that man Harry and Draco told us to look out for. I only know of witches and wizards having that ability." Sam suggested.
"Let's send a letter to Harry and Draco and we'll keep close to home until we hear back." Jake said and they quickly made their way to the house to send that letter.

AN2: I wanted to write this a certain way to address the whole Renesmee issue. Obviously in this AU story Jake didn't imprint on her and I have her OOC a bit from the Twilight series. So for the purposes of this story just assume that her maturity is the age of a 5 or 6 year old.
Again I will say I don't own the rights to Harry Potter or Twilight series, those belong to J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyers respectively.
