Thicker Than Blood
The Cullens
Forks, Washington was not wholly different than England. The sun hardly made an appearance in the inconsequential little town, the rain weaped down to the earth almost constantly and everything was a lively, vibrant annoying green. The grass was green, the trees covered in green moss, green ivy climbed the walls of buildings, it was all just green.
The four self titled Masens went to the magical side of Seattle first to get their bearings, and somewhere in the visit, Draco had procured a Jarvey. He fell in love with it the first moment it shouted out that the passing witch's robes would make a troll vomit and bought it. It then continued to tell him that his mother was a cockroach, Luna was the backside of a Blast End Skrewt, Teddy was a half brained tongue of a newt and Harry was a stupid gillyweed licker. Despite it's spouting random nasty phrases, it was growing on Harry, much like Draco had himself.
They went to the car dealership in Seattle where Luna got a dark blue little '98 Saturn coupe and Draco bought a stunning but unsurprising sleek black Aston Martin Vanquish.
"Just because you are willing to have such a plebeian vehicle doesn't mean we all do, Potter." When Harry told Draco he wasn't even going to get a car, it just added onto the fact that Harry was a lazy wanker who made everyone else chauffeur him around everywhere. Draco had kidnapped Teddy into the Vanquish and tore out of the parking lot towards their new home while Harry and Luna sensibly left, taking their time to get to Forks. It wasn't going to leave any time soon, so they saw no rush to get there.
The house was brilliant, two stories with pillars on either side of the door and dotted around the outside of the house. It looked like a shrunken manor, much to the pleasure of Draco who was accustomed to those types of houses. It was hidden behind trees and overgrown hedges, the driveway only visible if you knew where to turn. The inside was a marble wonderland, switching between white and black marble with deep brown accents for the curtains and the rug in the living room.
Their rooms were impersonal and white, much like a hospital bedroom, but the second they stepped into the chosen room, it morphed into their liking. Harry's room looked like he chopped his section of the Gryffindor dorm room out of Hogwarts, red and gold everywhere with a four poster bed with crimson hangings. Luna's looked like her room at home, dark blue walls with silver accents, a twin bed pressed against the wall and a desk on the opposite side from the bed. There was a picture of herself, Harry, Teddy and Draco separately on the wall, each grinning and waving, smirking or messing around in their magical portraits. Teddy's room looked like a bee exploded, the walls were light yellow, the queen sized bed with black sheets. Draco's room was the same as Harry's, except the Slytherin version, the walls looked like someone used stones instead of walling, the low four poster had black velvet hangings with emerald green walls.
Luna had signed the four of them up for school before leaving England. They would all be seniors as Lexi, Trevor, Hayden and Damian Masen. Draco and Luna would be twins seeing as they looked relatively similar even without the glamours that they decided to forgo, Harry and Teddy would be adopted siblings. The story they would use to escape any questions were that their parents were murdered by a gang, not untrue for either Harry or Teddy, and that they'd been emancipated, since they were technically still all minors. They'd start school the following Monday.
"Hey Harry, did you ever learn to be an Animagi?" Teddy and Harry were playing Wizard's Chess in the living room when Teddy asked that question, and Harry looked up at his godson like he'd grown another head before replying.
"Well of course. What sort of wizard would I be if I didn't try, and what sort of Marauder's son would I be if I wasn't?" Harry grinned at Teddy and stood up, walking outside with Teddy in tow, Draco basking in the sun, giving off the sparkles that hit the house brightly and Luna was tending a garden that was there when they arrived. She looked up, a smudge of dirt on her cheek and wordlessly asked what they were doing and Draco lowered his sunglasses slightly to look at them before returning them over his eyes and smirking, having heard the conversation in the house. All three of them had found their Animagus form, and they weren't what anyone expected of them. Harry wasn't some sort of lion, Draco wasn't a snake or dragon and Luna wasn't something off the wall like a spider monkey or a raven in the case of her house. The two blondes stood and walked over to Harry and Teddy to show off their animals as well.
With a smile, Luna started shrinking into a kitten, long hair receding into her head and sprouting out all over her body, tail stretching past her backbone. Her fur was light blonde like her hair, and she had ears tipped with ginger hair, the colour of her radish earrings and the only distinguishing mark on her. Her eyes were still a light blue and she pressed her head into Teddy's relaxed hand, meowing softly. Draco changed next, his body shifting even with the utterly bored expression on his face until a small arctic fox with silver eyes was standing where Draco was, licking it's paw with a superior air to itself before meandering over to the bench and curling up on it, the end of his tail covering his head, making it look like a little white fluff was sitting on the bench. Harry, when he shifted, went the opposite direction. Instead of shrinking down, he grew until a large black wolf was there at Teddy's side, reaching his shoulders and Teddy was at least a good 6'0. Teddy laughed and shifted, too, when he saw Harry's Animagus form, since they had the same one except Teddy had light brown fur that was nearly identical to Remus. He growled and knocked his head into Harry's shoulder playfully and he leaped away, a growl rumbling through the darker wolf's chest.
With a jerk of his head, he motioned to go out into the surrounding forest. Draco and Luna jumped down from the bench and streaked over to the two wolves, Draco jumping onto Harry's back and digging his claws into Harry's fur, Luna doing the same with Teddy seeing as a fox and cat are no where near as fast as a wolf. Harry sat back on his haunches, then sprung and leaped over the high hedges surrounding their house easily, running through the trees without effort, hearing Teddy close behind him.
'Only you would be a vampire with a wolf Animagus, Harry!' Teddy laughed that sounded like barks that reminded him of Sirius and he stopped, letting Draco fall from his back and glare up at him for trying to kill him. Luna bounded over and swiped her paw at Draco's head and he bit back at her, snapping at the air. Luna took off, disappearing under the brush and long grass, Draco streaking off after her, the two of them occasionally visible with their light fur.
Harry grinned lazily at Teddy before pressing his ears back against his head and lowering closer to the ground, he was on the hunt for fox and cat. The two of them seemed to realize that and nothing moved, they were still wherever they were. Harry gave a sniff and saw a light flash to his left and he growled softly before pouncing and capturing the little cat. He had both his paws over her, entirely hidden under his dark fur when she poked her little head out and gave Harry a look, letting her claws out and jabbing the soft palm covering her, eliciting a yelp from Harry and laughing barks from Teddy and shaking grass where Draco was hidden. He suddenly streaked out and away, further into the woods and the three chased after him, though both Harry and Teddy were holding back, having fun.
Luna had climbed onto Teddy because the two wolves were much quicker than her and she didn't want to be left behind. They would lose Draco for a minute, then one of them would see a flash of white before they'd be off after him again. He was very sneaky and surprisingly fast for being so small, but it helped because he could hide under the overgrown brush of the forest.
Draco appeared and Harry growled lowly like he was really about to attack Draco and lunged, only to have a pale streak run in and scoop the little fox up, and a sudden heavy...thing...attacked him like a boulder, sending both of them tumbling with a loud, thunderous crack.
When Harry righted himself, he saw a blonde woman with soft golden waves curling down her back holding a struggling Draco in her strong arms, muttering softly to it in attempts to calm him down.
"Cute little thing, what are you doing down in Forks? Arctic Foxes are rare here, must be lost, huh?" She smiled and Draco stopped squirming, only to give her a look that amused her because she laughed. "Don't look at me like that! I saved you from that nasty wolf, Emmett should tear him apart, he's definitely not a pack wolf, we know them all." She eyed Harry a moment before Teddy sprang up beside Harry with Luna clinging to his back. The thing that ran into Harry, Emmett, obviously, walked over to the blonde and looked at the fox in her hands and grinned.
"You think Esme will let us keep it, Rosalie? I mean we could keep him cold, after all." He laughed and Rosalie gave her husband a dry look. Harry gave a roar like growl and Draco bit Rosalie in an attempt to free himself but he only managed to nick the skin. Rosalie and Emmett whirled around, bending their knees into a defensive crouch, Rosalie twisting slightly at the waist to protect the little fox even though the two of them were in more danger than Draco was. Luna saw Draco go limp, realizing he wouldn't be able to get himself out of this mess and glared at everyone.
"Emmett, look! They've got a kitten! Go get her!" Rosalie nudged her husband and he nodded and inched up to the wolves with Luna and the two of them bared their teeth and growled, hackles raised. Luna hissed then, scooting back but Emmett was faster, snatching Luna in a pale blur, standing at Rosalie's side a minute later, eyeing the two wolves in case they attacked. Luna was making horrible yowling noises and struggling against Emmett, butt his hold was strong yet gentle so she wouldn't get hurt.
Harry and Teddy were both growling and baring their teeth to get the blondes back but Rosalie only glared and gave a roar that was very much like a lion's and it stunned the two. It gave her the second of time she needed and she, along with her husband, turned and sprinted off in the direction of the house.
'Harry!'
'I'm going to murder you, Potter. In the most painful and torturous way possible.'
'Such a cute little fox, I can't believe those wolves!'
'Alice is gonna love this kitten! I'll be the favourite, take that Edward!'
Harry snorted at Emmett's thoughts before racing off after them, intent on rescuing his friends from the vampires. Harry stumbled over himself when he realized the two of them were vampires and he hadn't noticed right away and immediately amped up his speed, not quite as fast as he was as a vampire, but faster than Teddy.
A house loomed into view and the two vampires had already gone inside, but their thoughts and voices were loud and clear as if they were standing in the room with them. They stayed out of sight, making sure that they didn't try to eat Draco or Luna.
"Guys? Look what we found in the forest. There were these two wolves and they were chasing this little guy here and had this cat, too." Even though Harry couldn't see through the walls, he could tell Emmett was showing everyone the two small animals.
"Oh my gosh! A cute little kitten! Are we keeping them, can we Esme?" A voice Harry didn't recognize squealed in delight and another woman's voice replied back, obviously Esme.
"Oh, I don't know, Alice. What if they belong to someone?"
"There's no collar on the cat, and who had a pet fox?"
"Oh, I suppose. It's your responsibility, Alice! I'm not going to clean up after them." Alice squealed and Harry and Teddy morphed back into humans, transfiguring leaves into clothing. That was one thing about being an Animagus Harry didn't like, not having his clothes change with him.
He and Teddy decided it was time to rescue their friends and they marched straight up to the door and knocked twice. Harry had his contacts in and the scent spell in place since that morning, as did Draco so thankfully they weren't suspicious of what he really was. A boy – no, man – with bronze hair and deep topaz eyes opened the door, looking at Teddy first with his turquoise hair before looking at Harry and seemingly freezing in time.
"Hello, we're the new neighbours. Hayden and Trevor." That seemed to snap him out of his little trance and he blinked humanly before stepping aside and motioning for them to come in. "We just moved in, and our pets are missing, we were wondering if maybe you've seen them?" Immediately, the thoughts of everyone deflated about possibly having to give the two back.
"What do they look like?" The short, pixie – like girl on the couch asked as the bronze haired vampire sat down.
"Well, one's a white kitten with gingery ear tips. Snowflake." Teddy touched his own ears absently, looking at the vampires around him and Harry nodded.
"The other, is rarer, an Arctic Fox. He responds to Winter." Rosalie and Alice nearly pouted and held out their arms, Luna and Draco in them. Luna eagerly jumped from Alice's hands into Teddy's and Draco was still limp and unmoving, cursing Harry the whole time as he took him back from the vampire. The bronze haired boy who answered the door cocked his head to the side, confusion on his face but it was wiped clean a second later.
"Why don't you stay a while, at least allow us to properly introduce ourselves!" Alice looked to Harry with wide eyes and her lips curved into a small pout and Draco snickered at how Harry was suckered into it with her puppy dog look.
"Sure. Sorry we're not all here, but Damian and Lexi are...unable to help us search for Winter and Snowflake. If you like, we can take our pets home and collect our siblings, then we can all be properly introduced." Alice eagerly nodded and Harry and Teddy left with the promise to return in fifteen minutes. They got far enough away and apparated to the house, letting Draco and Luna go and they immediately changed back to human form, the three boys shutting their eyes while Luna transfigured herself clothes quickly.
The four of them went inside the house to change into real clothing instead of transfigured leaves, and were ready in less than ten minutes. They apparated, the three immortals remembering to teach Teddy silent apparition later, and knocked on the door to the house once more. Alice opened the door that time and ushered them in, appreciating their clothing, especially Draco's. He was in white jeans, a blue oxford shirt rolled up at the sleeves to his elbows with a white vest and completely white converses. She loved Luna's eccentric yellow t shirt, green long sleeve top under, black knee length skirt, blue leggings and pink galoshes. Teddy and Harry went simple with jeans and long sleeved shirts, red for Harry and blue for Teddy and both wore black converses.
"Welcome, welcome!" She brought them into the living room where the others were situated. She had a glint in her eye that Harry didn't understand and when he lowered the shield to stop everyone's thoughts to only hear hers, she was reciting the American Pledge of Allegiance in Latin, backwards. He mentally shrugged and raised the shield again, her voice cutting off. "I am Alice Cullen!" She smiled widely, her bubbly happiness was very contagious. She motioned to Rosalie and Emmett with one hand, turning slightly to face them. "This is Rosalie Hale and Emmett Cullen. The broody one is Edward Cullen." Rosalie snickered and Emmett laughed as Edward glared at her. "Our parents, Esme and Carlisle Cullen." The woman with the heart shaped face surrounded by soft, chocolate waves of hair smiled warmly, making Harry's stopped heart stutter at how motherly she felt to him even though he just met her. Carlisle nodded his head with a warm smile and Alice looked around the room in confusion for a second. "There's also Jasper Hale, Rosalie's twin brother. He should be around here somewhere." The other Cullens shrugged their shoulders humanly, none of them knew where Jasper had gone either.
"Well, I'm Hayden Masen." Edward's head shot up, showing his surprised and then frustrated face before he continued. "This is Trevor." He motioned to Teddy, and the younger wizard gave a relaxed salute, " Damian," Draco smirked, earning a raised eyebrow from Rosalie, "and his twin sister, Alexandria. Lexi for short." Luna smiled dreamily at them all and Emmett snickered under his breath and Rosalie smacked him in the ribs quickly. "It's a pleasure to meet you all." Harry decided to let down the shields stopping their thoughts and was blasted with them.
'That Damian is good looking, for a human. Almost is good as me. Almost.'
'Lexi is a piece of work, I can tell.'
'Where's Jazz? It's not like him to disappear without telling us.'
'Why can't I hear him?'
