A/N: Here is the new chapter, thank my brand new beta Ogremen on any improvements, he worked hard on my rough draft so thank you. Also I have a bit of University work over the next week that I have to focus on so it might take me a little longer to get the next chapter done. As usual I own nothing but the story, the characters belong and their worlds belong to their owners. Now on with the story…

Chapter 5: Second Chances, Disruptions and a Second Date

HPOV

After Harry had told the young vampire what he was the information stunned her into silence. "You're a-a what?" she asked in disbelief. Harry just laughed at her turning and making his way toward the campsite.

"I'm a wizard…now are you coming, or what?" he asked starting to walk into the forests, towards his campsite. The sun was starting to rise however unlike the previous day there was a heavy cloud cover, masking the early dawn in an earie light often associated with twilight. As Harry walked closer to the camp site he felt Bree catch up and walk into step with him.

"I thought vampires and werewolf's were the only supernatural things out there…Reilly never mentioned wizards," she said to him an inquisitive tone to her voice. Harry smiled down at her, letting her know her questions were welcome and open to be answered.

"Not a lot of vampires are aware of our world," Harry replied to her as the campsite came into view. What shocked Bree first was the small figure tied to the post bound in chains. She had seen the creature as Harry tied it up and to find out it was a mere child, she would have guessed he was around six or seven from his appearance. As she watched Harry, he moved around the chains with an ease that made her think he had done this a lot, her curiosity was starting to burst from her.

Who was this 'wizard' and what did he mean by 'our world'. The thoughts were starting to race through her mind making her dizzy. As she watched him pick the small boy up, disappearing into the tent for the moment before returning with a potion.

"Here, drink this it will help you," Harry murmured to her. Bree eyed the bottle, looking warily at the bottle for a moment causing him to stop for a moment and put the bottle down on the ground for the moment.

"I know you've been used…by your father…by Reilly but I promise I will never do that to you," Harry said to her holding the potion back up to her. It was his eyes that made her reach up and take the bottle from his hands. She looked at it before taking a unneeded breath and downing the bottle. It tasted delicious Bree thought, better then human blood even, once she had finished the bottle, her hunger disappeared almost immediately sating her as good as a fresh human better even.

"What was that?" she asked Harry in disbelief causing him to chuckle at her. "It's called a blood-replenishing potion, if a human took it does as it name entails" he said pausing rubbing his glasses on his shirt for a moment before he continued.

"When vampires drink it…it's the same as drinking six litres of blood…enough to sate even a newborn, well, for a while anyway," he said smiling at her. Now that her bloodlust was under control they could have a talk about what happens next without worries.

"So I'm going to give you a brief rundown of how the magical world works," he said before launching into a lecture like mode. He spoke of a world that existed both within and separate from the 'Mundane' world she heard him refer to what he called 'non-magical people.' He went on to explain that there were magical governments in almost every country in the world with schools, hospitals, a whole world of more stuff.

As Harry finished off a brief rundown of the magical world to the stunned vampire, he noticed the sun started to raise and was barely visible. After a few moments Bree seemed to come to life, wanting to learn more of this world that he came from.

"So, wizards have like normal nine-to-five jobs?" she asked with a smile, getting a nod in return. "So what do you do?" she questioned towards Harry. Here Harry went serious for a moment. "That's actually what I want to talk to you about," he stated, pausing for a moment, "I swore I would never use you so I'll tell you upfront…I'm an Auror…a dark wizard catcher."

"Specifically the branch I work for is the Seattle branch that was opened in response to both a growing magical population in Seattle and…a string of missing person's in Seattle that were found to be the cause of a vampire," Harry said to her in gentle voice. She was instantly alert and on the defensive making Harry stand up and walk around to sit beside her, a small distance separating the two.

"Don't worry, I'm not after you," Harry said to her "I need to know who crea-I mean changed, you and the others? What happened to all the newborns, and why and how did you survive?" Harry questioned her, causing the small vampire to look down reminding him that whilst she was a vampire she was still a newborn, essentially she was a fifteen year old girl a few months into her vampire life. And from what she had seen of her life, both her vampire and her human life, she remembered how much she had been used in the past.

"His name was Reilly…he found me when I was living on the streets in Seattle," she lowered her head in shame here "He came and bought me a burger…and then he offered me a 'better' life but all he did was use me-use us for that bitch!" Bree said, spitting the last word out venomously.

"Reilly eventually told us what we were really turned for…Victoria, the woman who created Reilly and started the newborn army told us of a coven in the area," she said turning her head away in sadness.

"They just used us as cannon fodder, while Reilly and her ran after a vampire and a human…Edward and Bella, I think their names were," she spoke softly, the pain evident in her voice.

"They never told us about the wolfs that helped them…they all died…all of the other newborns that Reilly and Victoria had made. And Carlisle-the leader of the coven I think overpowered me…but he didn't kill me," she spoke to him in a soft voice.

"When the human and the vampire came back down the mountain the vampire, Edward, told them the Volturi were on their way…so Carlisle...the leader, I think, h-he let me go…told me to run as fast as I can and hide…and I did, I found a cave up here in the mountains, until I saw you and your son running through the forest," she said finished smiling at him getting one in return. As Harry took this all in as he stood up and started to put dirt on the fire.

"So now we've had that conversation," Harry said to her, "Now comes the conversation on what happens next," he finished looked down at her.

"The way I look at it you have three real options at the moment," Harry said to her raising a finger "Option one, you stay here up in these mountains starving and hiding in a cave."

"The second," he stated holding up two fingers, "Is for you to the leave the area…try to make your own way in the world." Bree looked up at him, neither of those options were all that appealing to her.

"What's the third?" Bree asked softly looking down instead of at Harry.

"You come home with me," these words causing her head to shoot up to him in shock. "Now, before you get ahead of yourself, there's going to be some conditions to this," Harry said indicating him and Bree "If it's going to work, you're going to have follow some rules, don't worry its nothing too bad."

"What are the conditions?" Bree asked Harry.

"First we have to change your appearance, and your scent…if certain people were to find out...well it's going to lead to some awkward questions," Harry said chuckling, then he suddenly hit himself in the head "Shit I forgot to call!" he said running for the tent, sending Bree into laughter at the site of him running for his tent.

As Harry went into the tent Bree realised there was something off about the tent. It was still early morning but Bree couldn't make out Harry's shadow through the fabric at all. Walking over to the tent, looking at the entry flap for a moment before lifting it and walking in, a gasp of shock escaping from her as she did. It was huge, at least the size of a small apartment, it had two double bunks, one of which held the sleeping boy, a table, a door she thought would lead to a bathroom.

She spotted Harry near the two ruck sacks on the ground with a phone up to his ear, talking quietly, a soft smile on his face. For some reason she couldn't really make out his conversation, it sounded to her as if there was a buzzing blocking out her ability to hear. He suddenly looked over and smiled as if to say 'Gotcha,' which made her give him a sheepish look. Harry apologised to Leah for not calling her sooner, and assuring her that both him and Teddy were fine, and would be on their way home soon, which seemed to placate her and calm her down.

Once Harry was finished on the phone, he walked over to Bree who was looking around the tent in shock. "Magic…this one, well, to quote an infamous Doctor, 'it's bigger on the inside,'" Harry said as he started to laugh at his own joke, getting nothing but a confused look from the girl. Harry stopped when he realised he was the only one laughing.

"You know…Doctor Who…nothing...really?" Harry said to her a slight look of embarrassment on his face as he rubbed the back of his head before finishing "Well, must be a British thing then."

"Anyway, back to the topic at hand," Harry said taking a seat at the table, Bree taking the one opposite him at the table "Where were we?" he questioned her.

"Well, before you started going on about some random TV show I've never heard off," Bree said, causing Harry splutter in mock outrage, causing Bree to smile at him.

"You were explaining how, if I wanted to come live with you there were conditions?" Bree said, a cheeky smile on her face. Harry shook his head at her before he started to speak.

"Right, you know the first…the second is, you have to go back to school," Harry said already putting his hand up to stop her from talking, "You're a fifteen year old girl…and while hanging out with me and Teddy is fine with us…maybe it would be good to have some friends your own age."

"How am I supposed to do that…I can barely control myself around one or two people, and you want me to go to a place where there are hundreds of people…I don't think I can do that," Bree whispered to him slightly ashamed at her perceived weakness. Bree felt a warm hand softly grasp her shoulder, causing her to look up at him.

"Don't worry I can help with that," he said murmuring to her while directing a warm smile towards her, "But now that you know the conditions you have a choice to make…three options to choose from."

"You have until I've pack the campsite up…which won't take too long" he said to her walking over to the small boy and grabbing the two rucksacks that lay on the ground next to him. As he walked her towards the flap leading out to the forest Bree's thoughts raged in different directions. Once they were outside Harry pulled a thin stick out of his pocket, 'That must be his wand,' Bree thought. He waved it once and the tent starting to fold itself up. As this was happening Bree thought hard on what she wanted, and the options that Harry had laid out for her.

Her first instinct had been distrust of him…after all, everyone she had known had used her in her life up until this point in her life. "Why are you doing this…offering to help me…take me in?" she questioned him. This made Harry pause in his inspections of the young boy and caused him to look at her. "

"Because...I know what it's like, to be alone and lost," he stated softly, looking back down at the young child in his arms. He took a moment to collect his thoughts before he continued.

"To be used and discarded…to be seen as expendable, but Teddy," here he paused, nodding down at the little boy, "He reminded me that even if a person is surrounded by the darkness…that all it takes is for a single flame to guide you out of that dark abyss…do you understand what I'm saying?" he said looking over at her and getting an emotional nod in return. Harry looked over, noticing the tent had finished packing itself up.

He walked over to it, waving his wand and the tent along with the two rucksacks packed themselves into a smaller pouch that looked too small to hold all of its contents. Putting it over his shoulder, tightening his grip on Teddy, he looked at Bree.

"Decision time Bree, what option are you going to take?" Harry questioned the young vampire. She looked at him for a moment before a resolute look came over her face as she reached her decision.

"I'll take option three," she murmured to him getting a smile for her answer. As he walked over to her he gently laid his hand on her shoulder.

"Good choice…now this might feel a bit strange," Harry said, and before giving Bree a chance to answer all three had disappeared with a resounding crack from the clearing, leaving no evidence of their campsite behind.

HPOV

After Harry had apparated with Teddy and Bree, who looked a little pale, well paler for a vampire, from the trip, he had taken Teddy upstairs and deposited him in his bed, tucking him in before silently leaving the room and going back downstairs. He found Bree sitting on the couch watching a random TV show.

"So what happens now?" Bree asked not shifting her focus from TV. Taking a seat next to her he took the remote out of her hands and changing it to the news causing her to glare lightly at him in response.

"Now…I will explain to Teddy that he's going to have a new house guest," he said smiling at her before shifting his attention back to the TV. "Is it going to be a problem…I heard the other wolfs say that my smell was quite horrible to them," Bree replied to him.

"Don't worry, I'm going to put some basic charms and transfigurations spells on you," he said to her, "Basically, I'm going to change your eye colour and your scent so you look and smell human to other magical creatures," he finished raising his wand from his pocket.

"May I?" Harry asked her, getting a nod in response from her. Muttering under his breath he raised his wand and ran it over her murmuring what she thought was Latin and before she knew it, it was over as fast as it had begun.

"Well," Bree said looking at her arms to see if there was a visible change, "I don't feel any different," she said causing Harry to laugh.

"Go look at your reflection and then tell me," Harry said her. As Bree got up to look at her reflection, Harry walked into the kitchen and checked the time. When he saw what time it was he started to gather the ingredients for lunch, Teddy would be waking soon, he started to cook his favourite meal for after a full moon, a very bloody and rare steak, with mashed potatoes and veggies.

He felt a whoosh and suddenly his arms were full of a newborn. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she kept saying before looking at him in the eye, where there was once the red of a vampire's eyes, it had turned to softer light brown colour. Not knowing what else to do, he simply laughed and hugged the young vampire back. After a few moments Bree released him, allowing to back away a bit keeping his hands on her shoulders.

"If I'd known I'd get this reaction, I would have changed your hair colour too," he said to the smiling vampire.

"I'm sorry it's just…the one thing I got from my mother was her eyes, and when I turned I lost that…thank you for giving them back to me," Bree said in choked voice. Harry smiled at her again, rubbing her shoulders lightly before turning back to the task he was doing before he was 'attacked' by the newborn. A she sat down at the island in the kitchen, Bree's head shot up slightly, hearing a noise he obviously couldn't.

"Your son's up," Bree murmured to him.

"He's not my son…he's my nephew, but I guess I am the closest thing to a father he has," Harry said standing over the stove and starting to dish up the food. Small sleepy footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs before Teddy's sleepy form appeared. He was wiping his eyes and yawning when he entered the kitchen. Harry picked him up and placed him on the stool next to Bree, the boy still unaware that there was a third person in the kitchen with them.

"How you feeling Teddy?" Harry asked placing a plate of food in front of him. Harry got a sleepy mumble in response causing Harry to laugh and ruffle his hair.

"Well, while you sleeping last night we had a guest the camp site," Harry said indicating Bree who was still sitting next to Teddy, smiling at him and his innocence. Teddy's head suddenly shot up in her direction, and before she knew it she was being hugged by the young Lycan. As Teddy settled back into his chair he started talking to her a mile a minute, happy to have another person to talk with now.

"Hi, I'm Teddy, what's your name? Did you see me as a wolf, I can run so fast! How did you find us, we were in the mountains, Harry said there was no-one else around," Teddy questioned in quick succession. Harry simply laughed at his godson's response, his loving nature already showing itself to Bree.

"Teddy, there is something I need to talk to you about," Harry said interrupting Teddy's interrogation of Bree.

"She's a vampire Teddy…and as long as you don't have a problem with it she was going to be staying with us for a while," Harry spoke hesitantly, unsure of his nephew's reaction. His fears were for nothing when he squelled and hugged Bree almost jumping into her lap.

"You're going to be my big sister, I just know it!" he said in a firm voice for a six year old. Bree was obviously quite shocked, not understanding how she was getting this reaction when he knew she was a vampire.

"You did hear him say that I'm a vampire right?" Bree asked Teddy, making sure he understood. Teddy nodded his head at her as if she was a little slow.

"So? I'm a werewolf, and so what if you're a vampire, that doesn't matter to me," came Teddy's innocent response making Harry's heart swell in pride for his young cub. Teddy could thaw even the coldest of hearts, just as he did with Harry, he was accepting Bree for who she was, what she was never even coming into his mind. As he finished his meal he hopped off the stool and started to drag Bree towards the stairs.

"Come on you, since you're going to be my big sister I have to show you all my toys!" Teddy said enthusiastically to Bree. She looked at Harry, getting a nod in return, and disappeared up the stairs with Teddy talking to her a mile a minute. Sighing Harry realised that whilst the easy parts where done, now came the hard part and the thing he detested most in his life, paperwork demons.

Sighing he hit the speed dial number 3, his Deputy Auror number, "Gellel," came her voice after a few moments of ringing.

"Gellel, its Harry, I have some news. I know what happened to the newborn army..." Harry spoke down to the phone.

"But before we go into that, can you start putting paperwork together…I think I just adopted a vampire as my daughter..." Harry said in disbelief, the reality of the morning finally sinking in. 'Oh shit what did I just get myself into?' was the only thought running through his mind.

Leah knew she was dreaming, the place in which she found herself was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. It looked to be a corridor in an abandoned factory, the hallway was extremely dirty with several pipes that ran above the ceiling, leaking, and the only light came from a bulb hanging over a door at the end of the corridor. It wasn't the surroundings that bothered her, it was the emotions they invoked in her; pain, despair, and guilt crashed into her like waves making her breathless.

The sound of footsteps behind her alerted her that she was no longer alone in the hallway. A man dressed in black, with the mask of serpent covering the upper half of his face and he was dressed in what Leah could only describe as black robes. His appearance sent a wave of dread and anticipation into her as he walked closer and then passed right through her, Leah, realising she wasn't his target, turned to the doorway where the source of light was coming from.

Leah found herself following him both unaware and knowing perfectly what lay beyond the door. As the masked man reached the door Leah noticed there were several latches on the door. With a jolt she realised what it was; a prison cell. The figure reached into his pocket withdrawing what appeared to be a thin stick to her. He waved it in a circular pattern when suddenly the door flashed and all the doors unlocked of their own accord and the door opened Leah followed the dark figure into the new room.

The first thing she noticed was the stench, it was overpowering to her senses. It smelled to Leah of rotting flesh, feces, blood, and piss. Blocking her nose she was able to take stock of the room, it was dimly lit from a bulb hanging from the ceiling. It was covered in what Leah realised in horror was blood. It clung to the walls and ceiling some of it was fresh perhaps a day old, but others were weeks old. Whatever horrors had been committed in this room, the level of bloodshed she was witnessing was unlike anything she had seen in her short life.

She finally noticed the masked figure and herself were no longer the only occupants of the room. As she took in the third person she was quite horrified. He was covered in fresh blood though, so she could see no actual wounds on his body, but there were numerous scars across his body and they were fresh. How could anything survive that sort of punishment and appear to have no cuts on his body? Leah thought horrified.

From her angle only she noticed his feet and hands were both tied together and to the chair making his hands bunch, as near to his feet as possible, behind his back, and his back was towards her, all that was visible was black hair with congealed blood sticking to it. He was filthy, dressed in cloth that was once cloth, but had been cut until only pieces of the pants remained, and she realised the smell in the room was originating from the figure in the chair.

"Have you had enough?" the figure asked its voice distorted and unrecognisable from either as a female or male.

"I'm…not…telling…you…anything..." the figure in the chair was barely able to whisper out, it was course and rough, as if it had only been used to scream. With a horrified realisation that she recognised the voice, she started the walk around coming to stand by the robbed figure, the person on the chair as she realised who it was.

"Well you had your chance…shall we begin, for today you seem nicely healed up from yesterday, eh Harry?" the figure asked laughing evilly at her imprint before he started raising the stick he used to unlock the door and pointed it directly at Harry.

"Crucio!" it said and that's when she and Harry started to scream.

"Leah...Leah wake up!" she heard Jakes voice. She vaguely started to take in the Cullen's living room, realising she had fallen asleep. She realised that Jake and her weren't the only occupants of the room. Bella and Edward, just behind Jake, whom was kneeling in front of where she was laying, with

Seth giving her concerned look from just behind Jake, that was when she started to feel the calming presence of Jasper making her realise he was standing in the doorway with Alice. Carlisle and Esme filled the other sofa, in the room.

She realised it early evening, she must have fallen asleep after talking with Harry, after spending the night worrying about him, and that thing that made the howl. She had heard from him earlier that morning saying he was on his way back, but he would be busy with a family emergency for the next couple of days. After hanging up with him she had laid her head down intending to rest for a couple of minutes, and she ended up sleeping all day.

"Sorry…I was dreaming...well it was more like a nightmare, about Harry, none of it made any sense..." Leah murmured sitting up and putting her head in her hands, realising she was covered in a cold sweat and had a racing heart even for a member of the pack.

"It must have of been one hell of a nightmare…you were screaming like you being tortured!" her little brother said to her, as he took a seat on the couch a concerned note in his voice. She realised everyone in the room was looking at her with the same worried look on Seth's face.

"I'm sorry…I'm good now," she said "So, what are pixie and solider boy doing here?" she tried to finish with her usual heat but failed miserably. She hated to admit it but Jasper's empathic abilities were soothing her and she was afraid that if he left she would break down from emotions she still felt from the dream. She sent what she hoped was a discrete grateful look in his direction as she spoke addressing Alice and Jasper.

"I had a vision yesterday…it was a long shot, but I thought that it might help, but something changed everything last night, I was just starting to explain early this morning I had another vision, a completely different vision, and every time I try to see a different path all I can see is the same vision," Alice responded with despair. Her psychic abilities were failing her just when her family needed them the most and it made the caring vampress visibly upset.

"What do you mean Alice?" Carlisle asked "You've always been able to see alternate versions based on the choices…your saying that this vision is basically saying there are no other way's it can turn out?"

"I think so, and what's worse is it doesn't make any sense," Alice replied to Carlisle.

"What happened in the dream?" Bella asked her new vampire sibling. Alice took a deep breath focusing on the vision, Edward closing his eye's, seeing it in Alice's mind with his telepathy.

"The start does make sense…the packs and other vampire's, friends who replied to our pleas for witnesses, are standing in a field, the entire Volturi guard with Marcus, Aro, and Caius," Alice spoke causing everything to freeze in fear. 'The entire guard were coming,' Leah thought in horror and as she realised all the other's had the same realization; their minds were made up on Renesmee origins, and they intended to punish the Cullen's and everyone who stood with them.

"The next part of the vision doesn't make sense though…just as they're about to attack, there's a loud crack and suddenly a figure appears, dressed in red and gold robes holding a stick," Alice said, the confusion evident in her voice. The description of the robes and the stick matched portions of Leah's dream perfectly.

"He say's something…Protego which is Latin for protection i think. Then a wall of blue energy appears, halting the Volturi guards attack and that's where my vision ends," Alice finished describing the vision. Leah realised she had to share portions of her dream with everyone…the coincidence's between Alice's vision and her dream were too close to ignore.

"Umm you guys aren't going to believe me," she said as everyone looked at her "But I just had a dream…in it there was a figure in black robes using a stick and mumbling Latin making things happen as if...as if by magic..." she finished to the shocked faces of everyone in the room.

After Leah had dropped the bombshell of her dream Alice had sprung on her demanding to know every aspect of the dream. As Leah described the dream to the Cullen's her composure started to break and the pain she felt from the dream shone through. Jake took a seat on her other side wrapping an arm around her in support. A week ago she would have shrugged him off, but now, she drew strength from her alpha knowing her pack was supporting her and understanding the distress of seeing her imprint in such conditions, and then to see him being tortured like that, she knew her dreams would be haunted by his screams.

As the room once again fell into shock as Leah finished her story, she took the precious few moments to gather her composure.

"What do you think Carlisle?" Edward murmured breaking the silence of the room. As the eldest vampire, he had the most knowledge of the world and creature's that inhabited it. Carlisle had at one point lived with the Volturi, and it was the description of the stick that brought back a memory from over a century before he had started to form his family, when had been a lonely nomadic vampire

"I don't know of anything specifically that does what you described…but I do remember something. It was during a conversation with a vampire that found me after a few decades. We travelled together for several months but he tired of my company and choice of diet and left," the blonde vampire said leaning forward putting his chin in his hands.

"I remember we were staying in an Inn in Scotland and I asked him if there was anything else out there other than vampires. He told me of the 'children of the moon,' humans who turned into monstrous wolfs by moonlight," he said. This shocked Leah and her pack, there were other types of werewolf's out there.

"He mentioned something then…what was it?" Carlisle thought before remembering what he'd said.

"He said that if I saw someone draw what looked like a stick on me…I should run as fast as I can and he laughed…when I asked, he just said to trust him and he changed the topic," Carlisle said finishing his tale from centuries ago.

"Do you remember the vampire's name?" Leah asked getting a nod in response.

"Yes his name was Sanguini," Carlisle murmured in response.

LPOV/HPOV

After the revelation that a mysterious vampire Carlisle travelled with might have answers. The pack and the Cullen's agreed that there were too many coincidences. There were too many similarities, for there not to be. However they didn't know enough about Harry, they didn't know if he was a friend, or a foe. And that had been where the argument started, Jake had tried to tell his beta that she should try to put some distance between herself and Harry. The right hook he got in response from her, showed that whilst the imprint had softened her she was still Leah Clearwater, and she was not to be fucked with.

After that Leah had told Jake that she had been to his house for dinner and all she saw was a loving family, nothing sinister. Jake had told her, her imprint was clouding her better judgements, and that's when Leah had really snapped. She had started screaming about everything she had sacrificed for her tribe and even Jake.

And now, when she had finally found him, Jake was attempting to keep him from her and the argument had ended swiftly when Leah reminded Jake that if she hadn't helped protect Renesmee when she and Jake had broken, off he wouldn't have his imprint at all. Jake had finally conceded to his alpha agreeing that she should be free to see her imprint but with the promise to be careful and to report if she saw anything that resembled that stick she had seen.

Harry meanwhile had spent the better half of Friday afternoon on the on the phone with his Deputy, filling her in on what Bree had told him on the newborns, the army, and the local coven of vampires. After revealing that the Army had been wiped out, they agreed to mark the case as solved, document the relevant names, and add it to the list of cases that they had closed.

When Harry had requested documents be prepared for Bree, Gellel had simply started to laugh over his phone. Harry's luck was infamous in the magical world, even in the American magical world; where he went, trouble often followed. After his deputy stopped laughing at him, "Only you Potter, would adopt a lycan and a vampire," she had said, still laughing slightly, Harry called Bree down from where she and Teddy had been playing in his room to snap some quick photos. After that, Harry told her to contact to Mundane Government and get the records they were creating for Bree into their system.

After that he had prepared dinner for Teddy and another blood potion for Bree. As they ate diner, Harry would discuss what would happen once the documents came through. Her name would be changed from Bree Tanner, to Bree Evans, and the cover story they were setting up for her. Bree's father had passed away, and with no other close family, Harry was taking legal guardianship of her until her 'eighteenth' birthday.

When Teddy had started to get sleepy after dinner, Harry had put Teddy to bed who was still recovering from his transformation. After that Harry had led Bree to the spare room, telling her it was hers for as long as she was with him, making her hug him in thanks. It had been years since Bree had lived in a house, and even the spartan room with a single bed, a TV, and a bedside table. After telling her he was turning in for the night he said she could go anywhere in the house, bar his study, and he requested she be quiet, so that Teddy could rest peacefully.

The next morning when Harry had been going into the meeting, 'Bree better be grateful for this, work on a Saturday,' Harry had thought to himself at one point after Bree had assured him that Teddy and her would be a phone call away. The pair had quickly bonded together despite the supposed animosity between their two races.

Whilst the Cullen's and the pack meanwhile were welcoming their first arrivals who heard their plea for help. Leah, the Cullens, and the new arrivals started to train and learn how to work together, even better and with the new arrivals. Harry had called her late that afternoon, telling her that one of his cousins had died and he was taking custody of a young girl, he had sounded slightly fearful of her response, but Leah's heart only swelled with love.

She assured him that was a part of him she liked the most. Harry had, on impulse, asked if she was still up for that second date. After quickly saying yes, Harry had invited her over for dinner for the following night, quickly making sure she didn't mind a teenager and a child being there as well. She had laughed and said she was looking forward to seeing Teddy again and also meeting Bree. After she had hung up with him, she had gone back to training, looking forward to her date the following evening.

Harry had left the office to return home to a very heated game going on between Bree and Teddy on the PS4. Harry had called Bree into the kitchen, giving Bree her new birth records, ID, she was only fifteen, and a phony family history, complete with school records. Harry told her she would settle in first, and then they would start to build up her tolerance with an agreed tentative date of returning to school on Monday next week.

Sunday passed uneventfully for both Harry and Leah, Harry simply lounging around the house getting to know his new housemate. Before either Harry or Leah realised it evening had fallen, and it was time for their second date.

HPOV

It was twenty minutes before Leah was due to arrive and Harry, accompanied by an amused pair of lycan and vampire, stood in the bathroom. Harry was attempting to do something about his hair, his nerves were a nervous wreck, and he was quite frustrated whilst Bree and Teddy looked on, amused whispering happening between the pair.

"You would think that, with I've learned about the magical and mundane worlds, I still haven't found a way to calm this rat's nest," Harry said with frustrated movements as his hands attempted to flatten his untameable hair. His statement caused Bree and Teddy to break out into laughter, Bree walked up and pulled his hands from his head.

"Relax, from what you've told me, Leah likes you already, and with your weird bond thingy, all you have to do is be yourself," Bree assured him causing him to laugh.

"Right, honest," Harry mumbled to himself before wincing slightly and turning to her "How pissed do you think she's going to be when finds out I'm a wizard?" This caused Bree herself to wince, and Teddy to look confused.

"Not well…but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it...unless you want to tell her tonight?" Bree questioned with an innocent smile on her face, whilst Teddy nodded on.

"Yeah, then I can show her my cool powers," Teddy said, his hair quickly shifting to green, causing Bree to smile at him before it returned to its normal black.

"Look, I've barely known her a week…I'm not ready for her to find out yet…about everything," Harry said turning away from the pair. Teddy looked concerned at his Uncle, whilst Bree whispered something to the small boy causing him to smile at her and shortly after he left the room.

"I know I've only known you a few days, but if she cares about you half as much as you care about her, she'll accept you Harry," Bree murmured softly to him. It was another reminder to Harry of how she been had forced to mature far beyond her mere fifteen years. Harry smiled at her in the mirror before looking down.

"I will tell her when the time is right," Harry said to her, feeling better from the simple statement delivered by the young girl. Suddenly there was a knock at the front door, causing Teddy to scream out "She's here!" and running excitedly to the front door. As Bree gathered Teddy away from front door, Harry took a deep breathe before opening the door. As always when he first saw her his heart skipped a beat and his magical core let out a hum as if it knew she was near.

"Hi," Leah said, a smile on her lips. Unable to control himself, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, lingering to smell her perfume.

"Hi," Harry murmured, taking a couple of steps back indicating she could come in. He noticed a slight flush on her face from his kiss as she passed him causing him to smirk. Bree and Teddy chose this moment to come down the stairs. Harry held his breathe hoping the spell he cast on Bree would be enough to fool Leah, feeling guilty for having to deceive her.

"Hi, I'm Bree," she said Leah "And you already know Teddy," she finished as the boy in question ran over hugging Leah's legs.

"Hi Leah," Teddy said as Leah kneeled down to Teddy, hugging the boy back, a soft spot for him already firmly developed.

"Hey Teddy, I heard you guys have had a rough couple of days," Leah murmured looking at Bree in sympathy, having lost her own father recently.

"I'm ok," Bree said smiling at her as Teddy went back over to her, "I got Teddy and my Uncle Harry now, as I understand it you and Harry have a date, so Teddy and I are going to watch Frozen in his room," she finished, leading the young boy away leaving a shocked pair in the kitchen.

"I take it you didn't ask her to do that?" Leah questioned him as the pair disappeared up the stairs. "No, I didn't," Harry replied to her shaking himself out his shock "You hungry?" he asked, walking around and taking two meals out of the oven.

"Starved," she replied smiling at him walking over to table taking a seat. Harry took the seat opposite her placing a meal of chicken schnitzel with chips and vegies. "Oh my god, you're going to spoil me," she murmured taking a bite out her schnitzel. If she hadn't had her extra abilities she wouldn't have heard his "You're damn right I am," causing her smile to grow.

Whilst they ate dinner they kept the conversation light, not straying into anything too emotional. Harry told her of his boarding school he had attended and some of his friends he'd made there. His description of the Weasley twins and their infamy for pranking, heavily edited, hard to explain their escape from Hogwarts if he didn't. Leah laughed at him and shared more stories of her own childhood. She told him of a fishing trip she had taken with her father and Charlie Swan, "It rained the whole time," she exclaimed to him, throwing chips when he laughed in response.

After dinner Harry realised he hadn't heard from Teddy and Bree in quite a while. "Give me a second, I just want to check on Teddy," Harry said getting a happy nod. "I'll clear the table, least I can do while you do that," Leah replied to him. Saying a quiet thanks, he went up the stairs and peeked into the room. Teddy was asleep, curled into Bree's side as she watched the end of the movie. She turned and smiled at him in reassurance before Harry turned back down the stairs to return to the kitchen as Leah was finishing up with loading the dishwasher.

"They're out," Harry said to her, causing her to laugh softly, "Want to come out to the front and have a glass of wine?" Harry asked her, getting a nod in response. Gathering a wine bottle and two glasses, Harry lead the way out the front door, sitting down on the swing on the porch stretching out his arm along the back.

"Smooth Potter," Leah said to him as she took a seat next to him, happily snuggling into his side. Harry poured them a glass of wine each, handing one to her the pair fell silent, content with gently swaying on the swing and the silent sounds of the forest for company. They sipped their wine, each lost in their own thoughts, content to sit with each other for company and the warmth they drew from the closeness of their bodies.

"You're not telling me everything…are you Harry?" Leah asked, breaking the silence. Harry tensed for a moment before she patted his stomach, reassuring him it was fine. If the dream had been real, then Harry had suffered horrific things in the past, and as she sat there she remembered the promise she gave to him; to be patient.

"No I'm not," he admitted, turning down to look her in the eyes "But I will, I promise," he murmured to her, getting a nod in response. They were slowly drawn to each other, closing their eyes and gently kissing for the first time. Harry's magic gave off another hum, and unnoticed by pair kissing on the porch, a light mist gently appeared like an aura for a moment, pulsing before disappearing unnoticed by the wizard and shape shifter, who were too lost in each other to notice anything but the feel of the others lips.
