A/N: I forget to mention when the timeline is in the Twilight verse. It is during Breaking Dawn after Nessie is discovered by the vampire who rushes to the Volturi. Also the first couple of chapters will be a bit slow but it will pick up in the next two chapters.

Chapter 2: First Meetings

Fork WA

LPOV

Leah was running as fast as she could the forest an indistinct blur, she was running on instinct and her greatest instinct told her to turn around and run straight back to her imprint. Crossing the boundary between Forks and the reservation she slowed her pace and tried to think of someone to talk to. Thank god this happened when everyone were too distracted by the volturi and Nessie as Lead had come to know her that she had been the only one of her pack that had been phased at the time. Stopping briefly, Leah tried to catch her breath and focus her raising mind but it always lead back to the same thing: her imprint.

Who was he? Where was he from? Was he married? Whose child was that? And then suddenly a crystal clear of him from in her eye. His wind torn back hair and his eyes sparkled with some kind of hidden power. All of a sudden a sense of euphoria came over her when she was the pain was gone. The heartbreaking pain she felt at seeing Emily and Sam together sometimes hurt so much she wished she could tear her heart out of her chest. Now she couldn't even recall why she was mad at all, all that mattered to her was her imprint.

Her heart swelled with affection, it felt like it was bursting out of her chest until finally she raised her head and howled. This howl was heard all through Forks and the reservation, all those who heard it didn't feel fear or terror at such a howl, rather it was uplifting raising the spirits of all those who heard. Finishing Leah turned and headed in the direction of the Cullen's family house. Halfway back she felt the minds of her pack members. When they heard the howl they instantly transformed fearing the Volturi had come, however as soon as they had, they understood what happened that Leah had imprinted.

Leah came the voice the pack leader Jacob black, cutting through her mind. I don't know what to say and she knew he was telling the truth. There had only ever been a single female shifter from the tribe, and not much was known about her. There was fear that Leah would never be able to imprint, as there was no previous record that the one before her had. I'll meet you all at the Cullen's Leah thought to her pack, her thoughts consumed by her imprint not noticing the others had phased back into their human forms.

Nearing the tree line that separated the forest from the Cullen's land she shifted back and quickly changed into clothes carried in the knapsack tied around her ankle. Walking out of the forest she was met by her brother just outside the front of the house, the others all looking at her from the porch. Her brother was looking at her as if he didn't know what to say. Leah solved that for him running up to him and jumping onto him sending them both tumbling into the ground. Leah was laughing like she hadn't in years she was just so happy.

"So you imprinted huh" her brother asked with a smile. Her smile widened even more as she responded "Yeah I have". Jacob walked down the porch putting a hand on her shoulder softly smiling at her. Impulsively she hugged him, the first time the pair had ever shared a hug. Of all the people who would understand it was Jake, after all he went through with Bella and finally getting his own imprint, he understand the torment of watching the person you love with someone else.

"I never did thank you" Leah said softly into his shoulder. Shifting a bit so he could look at her he replied "Thank me for what?" Smiling Leah said "For letting for join your pack, for putting up with me." Chuckling Jake turned leading Leah up towards the porch towards the others. "Come on I know how much you're bursting to share this with everyone even the leaches" Jake said causing Leah because of how right he was. "But then we have to go speak with the elders, he's an outsider we don't know much about him other than what he look like" Jake continued but Leah had already tuned him out thinking of her imprint.

Harry stopped putting his clothes away when hear the howl. This close to the forest he was sure that it was a sound hear all the time. But it wasn't the howl that had stopped him, it had been the feelings the howl had evoked. It brought him peace, making the word drop away from all around him until all there was the howl. He had the sudden urge to go seek out this wolf that made the most beautiful noise he had ever heard.

"Uncle Harry what's that noise?" came Teddy's voice from the doorway.

Shaking his head of the ridiculous thoughts that had been plaguing him he turned and answered "Just a wolf Teddy, nothing more, have you unpacked yet?" Harry asked his ward putting the last of his clothes in the draw.

"Not yet Uncle Harry" Teddy replied "Can you help me hook up my PlayStation please?"

Shaking his head at his young godson's love of mundane technology he grabbed him by his shoulders and led him out of his room and towards the staircase. The home Harry had bought was a small two story house. A porch wrap around the front of the house, a bay window overlooking the forest. As you walked in to the left was an open combined kitchen/dining room.

A modern kitchen had been installed as per his instructions with small table that seated four. The living room was contained a large TV, a PS4 box strewn out in from two couches and arm chair dominated the room, with a fireplace tucked away in the corner. To the right of the entry lead to third which contained a master bedroom, Teddy's room and a spare bedroom Harry hadn't decided what to do with.

Sitting down with his nephew, thinking back to the origins of Teddy's love of the mundane world. When Harry had taken him in he had been living in downtown London, in the heart of the city. Teddy had been raised by the Lupin's mostly in the magical world. Teddy fell in love with the city and as he grew older his love extended to the people that inhabited it. He loved playing in the local playgrounds (after Harry applied a charm so his appearance wouldn't change) and he even went so far as to ask to be enrolled in pre-school.

Harry had been contemplating moving Teddy so he could enrol him in school when the case had happened. It had started out like every other case, single dead female killed by unknown dark wizard. The cause of death had been ruled as a killing curse which kicked the investigation into high gear and forcing Harry to take lead and operate in the field. The young woman was the first of fifteen victims spread out over three week period causing panic not seen since the end of Second War.

They had been able to track the wizard through a portkey he'd left at a previous scene, but it had all been a trap. A squad of highly trained SAS soldiers had been lying in wait, they had been Imperised and were under the control of the Dark wizard. Of the six Auror's that had walked into the warehouse only Harry had survived. But he didn't escape unscathed, captured by the squad of soldiers and the dark wizard. He had spent the month being interrogated by the Dark wizard but he never broke. One day his captor didn't return and he'd thought he was going to die. He had numerous cuts and broken bones that he usually set by the unnamed torturer but he hadn't returned leaving Harry in excoriating pain for six hours to deal with his injuries. Auror had been able to track the location of Harry in time to save his left but barely.

Unable to cope with field work any longer he had considered leaving law enforcement and that was when the job offer from the states came. It was one of many he received on a weekly basis but something about it had caught his eye. It was an offer for the new position of Head Auror in their Seattle branch. There had been a string of vampire attacks recently and the already over worked Salem branch couldn't spare any to investigate which lead to the opening of the Seattle branch.

They offered a flexible schedule, his choice of if and when he would operate in the field again and command of an entire Auror department. They even offered him a house in a quiet little town that Harry fell in love with from the pictures. It was these sequence of events that lead to Harry plugging the PS4 into the TV.

"Thank you Uncle Harry" Teddy said jumping into his lap before scurrying off and finding his favourite game Minecraft. As he popped it in Harry walked into the kitchen, beginning to take out the ingredients for dinner as Teddy settled himself in on the couch playing his game. Shaking his head he still couldn't believe the impact the young boy would have on him. At first Harry had been scared, afraid he would do something wrong having no real basis to work from (as if the Dursley's counted) but he found he had nothing to worry about. All Teddy wanted was love and affection, Harry gave everything he could and in return the young boy had come to look to him as a father.

Shaking his head out of his thoughts he started dinner, moving around the kitchen with the skills of an expert.

"What's for dinner?" Teddy yelled from the lounge room.

"Steak, mashed potato and vegies you're favourite" Harry replied.

"Yay" came the exuberant reply from the lounge room.

"Dinner's ready" Harry called out fifteen minutes late. The patter of feet was heard before Harry turned around and spotted his Godson trying to get into his booster seat. Putting the plates of food on the table he lifted his Godson up before settling in to dinner himself. Dinner was quiet for a few moments before Harry broke the silence.

"Excited about starting school tomorrow?" Harry asked. Teddy nodded happily but had a slight look of sadness on his face.

"What's up bud?" Harry asked.

"I have to hide my magic while I'm at school don't I?" Teddy replied.

Sighing Harry replied "Yeah bud you do, are you want to go to mundane school?"

Teddy nodded his head "Yeah I really do, I wish I could use my special powers" Teddy sulked starting to eat again. Teddy had inherited his mother metamorphic powers, able to change his body to anything he wanted.

"Look Teddy you'll make lots of friends ok and even though you can't show them your magic you can still do everything else a kid your age can do, have sleep overs go on field trips isn't that what you wanted?" Harry questioned.

"Yeah it is" Teddy ate for a few more moments for brightening up.

"It's a full moon on Thursday, can we go exploring in the woods?" Teddy asked jumping excitedly. "Yeah bud we will, you all done?" Harry asked pointing his plate. Teddy nodded happily and went back to playing his game.

"Fifteen minutes then your bathing and bedding" Harry told him as he scrambled off in the direction of the couch with an "Aww Dad" coming from him. Harry sighed and turned back to clean the kitchen.

Unfortunately Teddy had also inherited his father's curse of lycanthropy, it was the most painful thing having to put Teddy into the cell at first but after a year of study Harry was able to become an animagus. He figured even his magical form wouldn't be normal and it turned out to be correct transforming into what is a Shadow wolf. His form was twice the size of the largest wolf, also having the ability fade into shadows and appear at other places.

Having mastered this Harry had taken Teddy when he was transformed on the full moon to remote wooded areas. Giving him the wolfs bane so teddy would keep his mind he found when Teddy transformed he was often confused at first until he saw Harry who would transform and they would spent the night playing, it was his proudest accomplishment, doing what his father did for Remus he was doing for his son.

Finishing the dishes for the night Harry walked into the lounge room and plopped down next to his godson on the sofa.

"I still don't understand this game at all" Harry said pointing at the TV.

Rolling his eyes Teddy paused the game and said "The object of the game is to build stuff, and find stuff it's really fun."

Harry thought on this for a moment before he shook his head. "Still don't get it Teddy" he replied.

"Whatever dad you're just old" Teddy said before going back to his game. He looked at his godson for a moment before springing into action, tickling the boy sending him into hysterics of laughter. "Stop" could be heard from Teddy between laughs before Harry finally stopped.

"Still think I'm old?" Harry said smiling cheekily at him. "Come on kid time for bath and bed, first days for the both of us tomorrow. Harry picked the boy up and threw him over his shoulder the boy laughing pounding, his back happiness radiating off them.

Seattle WA

HPOV

Harry pulled up to the building double checking the address just to make sure. In front of him stood a twenty story building, a sign to the left signifying it was headquarters to the FBI. Straitening his tie and grabbing his briefcase he climbed out of the car. The lobby was plane with a secretary behind the desk, two metal detectors that lead to a set of lifts on either side. There were several armed security mulling about checking everyone coming and going. Walking up to the secretary he cleared his throat and pulled out his credentials.

"Hi Special Agent Harry Potter reporting for my new posting" Harry said sliding his ID across the desk who took it, looked at him and the ID doubtfully not believing someone of his age would be working for MI6. Checking her screen and the ID led to her making a phone call, which ended after a brief conversation.

"Agent Gellel will be down shortly" the secretary said sliding the ID back across to him. Nodding he picked his briefcase. While he was waiting he thought back to Teddy's first day at school. He had been so excited until he had actually gotten to the school. Teddy had gotten scared and refused to get out of the car until he had Harry's pinkie promise he would be there when the bell went.

"Special Agent Harry Potter?" a voice asked breaking him out of his thoughts. Looking up he saw a young attractive red-head dressed in a business suit.

"Yes and you are?" Harry asked putting his hand out to shake which the young woman took.

"I'm Special Agent Bloominus Gellel" she replied before indicating they should head for the elevators. Stepping in one she pushed the button for the basement twice before holding down for a third time. The elevator doors slid shut and they started to descent.

"Now we're free to talk whilst we're in the magical world I'm Deputy Auror Bloominus Gellel" she said leaning back against the elevator "I'll be your second in command", just then the elevator dinged and she led the way out.

"Welcome to the bullpen "Auror Gellel said. For all intent and purposes it looked like your standard squad at a police station. Fifteen desks were spread out around the room all already occupied. At the back of the room was a door, which had the Deputy Auror name on it. Beside it a staircase lead up to another office, Harry's name on it below stating Head Auror.

"Do you want to say something to everyone Head Auror Potter?" Auror Gellel asked. Smiling he walked so he was clear to see to the whole.

"Hi I'm Harry Potter, some of you know who I am, and some of you hopefully don't for the love of merlin" Harry said causing chuckles from around the room, waiting for them to die down he continued "You all know what the job is, what we're here to do. I'm an easy going boss you need anything my door is always open and please don't call me Head Auror Potter most of you are older than so Harry is fine, now people we have a job to do let's get it done." The Auror realising this was the end of the speech went back to work.

"Auror Gellel my office please" Harry said to the young red head. Making his way up the stairs and through the door he was quite shocked at the inside. A leather couch stood against the far side, a desk stood before a window with a large desk with a leather back chair sitting behind it and in front of the desk stood five chairs arrayed around desk. Placing his briefcase down he sat down and he looked at his deputy who had taken a seat across from him

"Will my age be an issue for you or the other Auror's when following my orders?" Harry asked. She looked taken aback for a second before smiling and laughing bit.

"To be honest none of us could believe it at first, the great Harry Potter moving to America, Seattle of all places" she said still smiling "we heard about what you did during the Second, but not only that you've proved yourself as a capable Auror in England plus all the rumours surrounding your week with unspeakable's…well I rambled a bit but the Auror down there and up here respect you, your age doesn't matter to us" she finished looking a little embarrassed.

Chuckling Harry had taken already liking to his second in command. On the outside she seemed a bit neurotic but she wouldn't have made the position she had. "Any active cases that require my immediate attention?" Harry asked getting down to business.

"The main case and the reason why office was open has gone cold. There hasn't been reported missing persons and we've been sweeping the air and found no vampires. It's like they just disappeared" Gellel replied looking quite baffled himself. That did raise his eyebrow a bit, there had been over twenty five persons over a 5 month period. What the mundane had failed to see at each of the crimes, the Auror's could easily picking up the traces of a vampire. Unfortunately resources weren't until now and they had stopped.

"That's unusual any leads at all?" Harry asked leaning back a bit in his chair.

"None sir, we have two teams digging up everything we can so we will find out" Gellel replied confidently. Harry didn't share her confidence, if all twenty five missing persons were killed there would have been a body, so that meant they were being turned, and in a hurry.

"Someone's building a newborn army" Harry told her. She nodded her head in agreement.

"Our teams reached the same conclusion, but why stop the attacks, wouldn't they want more?" Gellel spoke with a hint of confusion in her voice. Harry nodded and thought to himself for a moment; ok why would you stop making your army? Because you had enough soldiers to take out whoever the army was intended for.

"Are there any vampire covens in the area?" Harry asked breaking the silence after reaching the conclusion.

"We don't know, there's not a large magical population in Seattle hence only 15 Auror's instead of the usual 60 for a city. We just don't know enough about the area yet to know what magical creatures if any at all even inhabit this area" Gellel said.

"We need more information, make contact with whatever coven that is aware of our world, ask them if there any covens in the area. We find the army's intended target, we find the army and we find the vampire who started all this" Harry said putting his hands under his chin.

"What do we do when we find them?" Gellel asked. Harry looked up at her for a moment a grim expression crossing his face.

"We kill them" Harry replied looking directly into her eyes.

Leah stood in the lounge room of Billy Black, waiting for him to finish on the phone with another tribe who shared their ability. "Ok then thank you bye" Billy said hanging up the before rolling into the lounge room.

"They've had a female wolf before and she imprinted as well. As the records say it was a normal imprint no different than a male imprinting" Billy spoke putting a hand on her knee.

"What about the scent, did her imprint have a very distinct smell to him?" Leah asked. It had been bugging her all day. All the others who had imprinted had never heard of sniffing their way to their imprint.

"Well actually that one we haven't heard of before I'm sorry Leah" Billy replied. Leah nodded to herself, just one of the many mysteries she wanted to find out about her imprint. "What did the other elders say when they found out I imprinted on an outsider?" Leah asked slightly worried about the answer.

"He is your Imprint Leah, he is no outsider" Billy replied in a firm voice. She had never been more grateful for Billy than she had been in last couple of weeks. After the death of her father Billy had taken to coming over and just talking with her, telling her stories of her father when he was a child and just being there for her. She didn't blame her mother or her brother at all but they her mother had grown closer with Charlie Swann and Seth had the pack.

"Thank you Billy" Leah said softly before hugging the man tightly aware of how fragile he was. "Your welcome child now why don't you go home, you like you haven't slept all night" Billy said with a knowing smile. Leah giggled in response then stopped herself. She just giggled, giggled like a girl; she wasn't sure whether to laugh more or be horrified with herself. Less than twenty four hours of being imprinted and she was acting like a love-sick girl.

"Child you have suffered greatly for this tribe" Billy spoke in a voice that commanded it be listened to. "You have lost love, been forced to endure much pain in the name of this tribe. Child I believe this is a gift from the ancestors for your sacrifices you have made for this tribe, you are entitled to be happy and all the acts of happiness that follow when a wolf finds her imprint". Overwhelmed with emotion she hugged him again, some tears escaping from her eyes.

"Thank you" she said in a choked voice too overcome with emotion. "Your welcome child now head home rest, you must find a way to invite your imprint to the next council meeting in two weeks" Billy said releasing.

"Why so long?" Leah asked, usually when someone imprinted an Elder council meeting was called immediately, so as to bring the Imprinted into the tribe as soon as possible. "Given the situation with the vampire the packs are co-ordinating to keep the reservation and the town safe" here Billy paused "Also we must elect a new elder given your father's…passing." She understand, the entire elder council must be present for the bonfire initiation ceremony. It usually took a month to elect, so two weeks gave her plenty of time.

"If there is danger we will tell him immediately and protect him as we do all the imprinted, until then get to know your imprinted and in two weeks invite him to the bonfire" Billy said smiling. Leah nodded hugging Billy one more time said her goodbyes and left. Walking slowly down the street she thought back to the last twenty four hours. After things had calmed down at the Cullen's Jake had left to inform Sam's pack of the latest. Leah had left quickly he had, racing into the forest following the heavenly scent of her imprint.

She had arrived in time to see him leading his…she wasn't sure what the young boy was to him. She stayed there watching the young family prepare for bed. Bath time was followed by story time, from her viewpoint on the branch she watched as the young boy drifted off. The entire time she witnessed this there was an unbearable ache inside her. She wanted to be curled next to her imprint cuddling with the young boy sharing in the family activities. After the boy fell asleep Harry, even her imprints name sounded perfect, had walked downstairs. She had despaired not being able to see him until the front door opened and out he walked hold a bottle of whiskey and a glass.

Sighing he sat down on the swinging chair, poured a drink and sat there looking into the forest. This gave Leah the opportunity to drink in the sight of him. He was perfect to her from his black wind blow hair, to his emerald eyes. But she also caught sight of numerous scars some wouldn't have been visible unless you were a wolf but others stood out.

One was a lightning shaped bolt just under his fringe. The one that caused her the most anger was the angry scar that travelled down from his chin disappearing into his shirt. It was jagged as if made by a knife, making Leah growl softly. Someone had harmed her imprint, when she found out who did it she would rip them apart.

After several hours Harry disappeared into the house. She heard him wash his glass up, lock the house up and head to bed. It took him a while, too long in her opinion. The longing from before came back stronger, she wanted to be in that bed holding her imprint lulling him to sleep. After he had fallen asleep she had simply laid down and listened to him breathe.

Around dawn Jake's voice broke through her thoughts, saying he understood the need to be close to her imprint, she still had patrols to run. After her patrol had ended she'd made her way to Billie's house hoping for answers. Suddenly the scent of her imprint came her thoughts and movements to a crashing halt. Suddenly she heard the roar of the engine from yesterday and felt a car shoot by heading for La Push beach. Grinning she took off after car hoping their destination was the beach.

HPOV

La Push Beach WA

Harry opened the door listening to Teddy talk a mile away minute, he had been beyond excited about his first day of school when Harry picked him up. The thing that had excited Teddy the most was there was a beach on the Local Indian Reservation. After some begging and pleading from Teddy Harry had agreed to head straight there. Teddy had lived most of his life in the city, he had never really seen the ocean before and he was excited to see it for the first time.

"Wow" Harry heard Teddy breathe out from the other side of the car. Closing his door he walked around and stood behind Teddy.

"What do you think Teddy, does it look as awesome as you thought it would?" Harry asked his godson. Teddy looked up at his godfather nodding his head before dragging him down towards the beach. Teddy had first run near the ocean, laughing as the waves came crashing down near the shore. Suddenly Teddy wanted to see the rock pools just a bit of the ways down the beach. Harry was sitting on a tree stump a few metres from the rock pool when suddenly he had the feeling he was being watched.

Looking around the beach he spotted what a couple of the locals building a fire down on the beach, they had been glancing at him all day but he assumed that was because out of curiosity. No this felt like someone was watching him. Glancing behind him he heart nearly stopped in his chest. There was a girl standing about a metre behind him.

She was the most gorgeous creature Harry had ever seen in his life. Her skin was light bronze colour, with brown tresses flowing shorter than most girl wear but looked perfect on her. Her eyes were a beautiful hazel colour and her mouth was turned up into the cutest little smile he had ever seen. For a moment Harry was speechless before he caught himself. "Hi" Harry breathed.

The girl smiled at him before walked around and sitting beside him. Harry was still a little stunned which sent the mystery girl laughing briefly. "Hi I'm Leah Clearwater" she said holding her hand out for him to take. The moment he touched her hand he felt his magic swell across his skin sending a heat through his body, as if his magical core was reacting to her mere physical touch. Looking into her eyes he knew that she had felt it too.

"Harry Potter" he replied still slightly in shock from the experience that had just occurred. Snapping himself out of his thoughts he smiled and checked Teddy briefly making sure he was still in the rock pools.

"So what made you come over here and talk to a complete stranger, didn't your parents ever warn you of stranger danger?" Harry asked looking back from his check on Teddy. The girl laughed and responded "Why, are you a serial killer?' she asked sarcastically with a cute smile on her face. That smile just made Harry want to kiss her and never stop.

"No, no I just catch them" he said chuckling a bit at her joke. This made her raise an eyebrow at him.

"You catch serial killer's?" she asked in disbelief.

Nodding Harry responded "Well not always serial killer but it I work in the FBI Violent Crimes Unit, we deal mostly with serial murders."

"You're an FBI Agent?" she asked even more shocked. Harry nodded in response to her question. It was the truth, however the "Violent Crimes Unit" in the Seattle was the Auror department and they often dealt with wizards who had committed multiple murders.

"Yeah I am actually" he said smiling at her.

"But your British aren't you?" she asked.

Harry laughed at her before replying "Congratulations Sherlock your power of deduction serve you well."

She laughed at him shoving gently, neither noticing that there was no space left between them on the stump. Settling down again she asked "So what is an FBI agent doing in La Push?"

"He's the reason" Harry said pointing at Teddy who was getting an up close view of the rock pool, keeping an eye on Teddy continue "He's never been to the beach, when he found out there was one close to Forks he had to see it"

"So you just moved to Forks?" Leah asked laying the head on his shoulder and wrapping her arms around one of his, sending the thrill through Harry again. Harry nodded not even caring a woman he had met five minutes' ago was cuddling into his side. It felt right, as if that part of his shoulder was catered just for her.

"Yep" Harry replied giving into temptation and laying his cheek on her head. Over the next fifteen they talked about little things, where they group up, their friends (Harry quickly changed the topic when it came to his friends. They talked of where they went to school, their families (Harry gave a rather bare story of how Teddy came into his car) but mostly he was just content to sit there with her on his shoulder forever.

"Uncle Harry who's this?" Teddy asked breaking the Harry and Leah out of their conversation. "Teddy this is Leah, Leah this is Teddy Lupin-Potter" Harry said. Leah stuck her hand out shake and the young boy took.

"Wow you're really warm you know that?" Teddy asked before turning back to Harry "Can we go now Harry I'm tired and hungry." Harry laughed at him before standing up off the log taking Leah with him.

"Sure bud, let's go get you fed" he said taking the boy by the shoulders leading him towards the car. "It was nice meeting you Leah" Harry said before Teddy point at him to come down so he could whisper in his ear. Harry nodded once and stood back up.

"Teddy and I were wondering if you wanted to come over tomorrow for dinner? It would be great to get know the area from the locals perspective" Harry asked. Leah smiled at him again before she reached into his pocket to take out his phone. What the hell was going on he never allowed people other than Teddy to hug him and in the last hour this girl had cuddled into him and was no reaching into his pocket as if she had every right. That was freaking him out the most, the way it felt right and natural for her to do those things.

"My number's in the phone, text me your address" she said sidling up to him, putting the phone back into jacket pocket, her hand lingered a little on his chest and he took the chance to take in her fragrance. She smelt of pine and fresh rain, it was an intoxicating mix and Harry's new favourite smell.

She looked up at him barely any space between them. "Call me if you need any help with local knowledge" she whispered at him. Taking the hand that was on his chest he held her hand to his heart, again trying understand the reasons behind his actions.

"I'll do that" he murmured back. A few moments later the frustrated calls of a six year old drew them out of their own little bubble. Smiling Harry released her hand and slowly made his way to his car. Stopping briefly he looked back after opening the passenger door and gazed at her. The look she was giving him was the most exhilarating and terrifying look he had ever seen directed at him.

She was looking at him as if he was the most important person in the world. The part that scared him the most he thought all the way home as he spoke with his nephew was that he liked the feelings she was evoking in him.
