Hey guys, here is Chapter 2 since some people didn't like the way I was writing Harry's response to his parents being alive.
I have to admit that they were probably right about it. I would be so pissed to find out my parents were alive after being told constantly that they were dead. SO I hope those that weren't too thrill with it will be a little bit happier with what I've done.
Thank you for all of your reviews and I hope that you like what I continue to write.
For the month that was still the school holidays before the start of the semester, Ron, Hermione and Harry had been frequenting the town library when they found that the house library did not hold any Muggle schoolbooks but did hold history books.
Hermione has asked the librarian where the schoolbooks were and explained that they had just moved from London and that the schooling system was different to the American schooling system and would like to look over the books that the local school was using. The librarian was more then willing to help the teens and gathered all of the books that they would need, even setting them up with a library card so that they could check out the school books that they would need.
It was not easy for Ron and Harry to grasp the curriculum cause Ron had never been to Muggle school and Harry hadn't been since he was 10yrs old and that was just primary school. Hermione was a little better off then the others as she had kept up with her schooling when she went home during the summers. A part of a deal that she had with her parents for letting her go to Hogwarts.
There were times during the month that Harry had raged and lost control of his magic about his parents and the unfairness of it all. Everything had to happen to him, it didn't matter what is was or what it involved but it ended up always being him that had to be strong about it and he was sick of it.
To try and control the angered outbursts, Remus had began teaching the teen how to become an Animagus so that he may channel his anger in to the transformation and not unleash it or his angered words on the other occupants of the house. Though Teddy never incurred his wrath and was actually the one to start calming Harry down some.
Harry doted on his godson during the time that Remus was holed up in the basement with his transformation. Hermione had requested Snape's notes on the wolfsbane potion and was making it for Remus, being the better one at potions. Harry would disappear for hours during that time with Teddy, heading to the nearest town with a zoo so that he could do with Teddy what no one had ever done with him, well not willingly anyway. He brought an abundance of toys for the tot and played with him for hours on end and was the one to tuck him in at night when Remus was otherwise howling… Occupied.
Harry and Remus had talked at lengths about what they were going to do when they were ready to face James and Lily. What they were going to say to them, what they wanted to hear from them and the exact questions that they would ask to reaffirm that they were really who they said they were, with the help of a little bit of truth serum.
Monday morning dawned bright and early for the occupants of Moonys' Den a month later when the holiday break ended, some rising a little earlier then others, mainly Hermione who was packing every ones bags with everything that they would need for their first day of school.
"Morning 'Mione." Harry said through a yawn as he moved through the kitchen cupboards to make breakfast for the occupants.
"Morning Harry. You ready for our first day of school?" She asked.
"No not really." Harry responded as he fired up the stove to start on the pancakes and bacon.
"Don't worry Harry, everything will be fine. You'll see." Hermione told his as she gave him a hug.
"As long as I have you there to help me everything will be fine." Harry told her with a smile.
"Good Morning Harry, Hermione." Remus called as he walked in from the back yard with Teddy in a harness attached to his front.
"Morning Remus. Morning Teddy." Harry said and gave the toddler a kiss.
"Ready for school Harry?" Remus asked, knowing that the teen was still a little, okay a lot, nervous about attending.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Harry responded, "Hermione's ready."
"Hermione is a very bright young woman and will always be ready for school." Remus laughed giving the girl a hug as he sat down at the table, "Is Ron still asleep?"
"Where else would he be this time of the morning? He won't be up until I finish breakfast." Harry laughed.
"That is true." Remus nodded.
Silence reigned through the kitchen with only the clang of pots and pans and the twang of cutlery as Hermione helped set the table for the breakfast Harry was just about finished when Ron stumbled into the kitchen and fell into one of the chairs.
"Morning Ron." Hermione said as she set a cup of coffee down in front of her boyfriend.
Ron just glared at Hermione and took a large gulp of his coffee and nearly drained it dry before he was anywhere near coherent enough it say anything to those sitting around the table. He got up and grabbed another coffee before his vocal cords decided to work.
"Morning All." He said once down to half of his second coffee.
"Welcome to the land of the living Ron." Harry said as he pulled the cover off of the food and dug in.
An hour later the three teens were ready to head out the door, Remus and Teddy watched them from the veranda.
"Alright you lot. Be careful; don't mention anything about your magic. And drive safely." Remus said the last thing to Hermione as she was the only one that had her licence, Ron and Harry still needed to pass the test.
"We will Remus. But don't you stay at home all day all right. Go and see the town, you haven't done much of the since we arrived." Harry told him
Remus nodded, "I will Harry, but this morning I just want to have some bonding time with Teddy-bear, then we'll head out in to town and have a look around." He responded.
"Alright Remmy. See you later then." Harry called as Hermione peeled out of the driveway and headed for Forks High School.
Harry sat in the back with Ron in the front with Hermione, both chewing their thumbnails in nervousness while Hermione was cool, calm and collected. Though Harry did do Dudley's summer homework. But that was the British school system, not the American.
"I don't know if I can do this Hermione." Harry spoke up as they pulled up in one of the school car parks.
"Of course you can Harry." Hermione said as she turned off the car, "We're in all the same classes, I made sure of that when I enrolled us. So I'll be there to help you both every step of the way."
Harry nervously bounced his leg while he sat down at one of the tables outside while Hermione went in to get a map of the school and their timetables. Ron was sitting next to him eating a pastry wholly ignoring the looks that they were getting from the rest of the school population.
Harry knew that he should be used to the looks that he was getting, but when it came to Wizards, he knew why there were staring at him and that was because he was the boy-who-lived, he was famous to them. But now, here in this town, he was a no one, nothing more than a new student and they were still bloody staring at him.
"Don't worry yourself too much Harry." Ron said as he licked the sugar off of his fingers, "We'll be fine. We've got 'Mione and Remus to help us out if we need it."
Harry sighed and put his chin in the palm of his hand, "I guess you're right. But in don't like all this staring as though I'm a shiny new toy." He mumbled.
"I know what you mean mate. All this staring is making me feel uncomfortable, I guess now I know how you really feel back home." Ron responded patting his friends' shoulder in sympathy.
"Yeah, thanks Ron." Harry responded with an eye roll and was jolted out of his musings when a girl sat down in front of him and Ron with a bright smile on her face. Harry looked at the girl; she had large, topaz coloured, eyes and long, thin, delicate eyebrows. Her hair was cropped short, spiky, and a deep black. Harry blinked at her startled at her sudden appearance in front of him and Ron. "Ah, hello."
"Hi." She responded her giant smile seemed to grow larger, flashing her perfect white teeth at them, "You're Ron and Harry right?" She asked knowing that is exactly who they were.
"Yes we are. Who are you?" Ron asked moving himself slightly so that he was kinda in front of where Harry was sitting.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm being rude. My name is Alice Cullen." She greeted brightly, "How are you finding Forks so far?" she asked brushing off all the looks that she was getting from the rest of the school population for sitting and talking with the new students.
Harry sighed, "We come from London, England. So it's not really much of a change."
Alice let out a girlie squeal causing Harry to blush, "I love you're accent."
"Alice what the hell do you think you're doing." A voice hissed from behind Alice. Ron and Harry turned their attention to who was behind Alice and noticed a tall statuesque blonde standing behind her with a feral look on what would normally be a beautiful face and her arms crossed over her chest.
"I'm introducing myself to the new students. The redhead is Ron and the ebony haired is Harry. They're going to be my new friends." She explained with a bright smile at the blonde, "Guys, this is my sister Rosalie Hale."
"Hello, nice to meet you." Harry smiled at the blonde.
Rosalie just sneered at Harry, "Come on Alice. We need to leave." Rosalie said grabbing her sister by the arm.
"Draco Malfoy eat your heart out." Ron whispered to Harry.
Harry let out a snort of laughter and both of them ended up leaning against the other busting a gut laughing. "What so funny you two?" Hermione asked as she came up behind them with their timetables in her hands.
Ron and Harry hurriedly stifled their laughter and turned to the brunette, "Nothing 'Mione." They chimed blinking innocently at her.
Hermione raised a brow at the pair not believing them for a second when they told her that they weren't laughing at anything.
"'Mione, meet Alice and her sister Rosalie." Ron quickly butted in introducing the two girls that were at their table.
"Hello. I'm Hermione Granger, nice to meet you Alice, Rosalie."
"Nice to meet you too Hermione." Alice responded extending a gloved hand for Hermione so shake, Rosalie just turned her nose up at the offered hand and headed away to the parking lot. Alice sighed as she watched her sister go, "Please excuse her. She tends to be rather obnoxious sometimes." She explained, "Well I'll see you in classes then." Alice said as she got up and waved as she left to join Rosalie.
"She was nice." Hermione said as she sat down in the spot Alice vacated.
"I thought so too." Harry smiled, "She's really bubbly."
"Rosalie reminds us of Malfoy with her attitude, that was why we were laughing." Ron explained.
Hermione shook her head, "Oh Ron. That isn't very nice." She scolded.
"Well you should have heard her when she came up to us. She was darn right rude and full of herself. She said ' What the hell do you think you're doing.' To Alice when all she was doing was introducing herself. Which is a lot more then I can say about the rest of the school. Just staring at us." Harry explained with a pout.
"Oh alright. Now come on, let's go and find our first classes."
