Chapter 6

Remus threw his arm around Harry's shoulders, and once they had entered the cover of the forest, and disapparated them into a secluded part of the Forks township. Harry looked up at his friend and father figure curiously.

"What's up Moony?" He questioned.

Remus shook his head, "Nothing Cub, I just thought that it would be nice for us to do something together, despite the weather."

Harry let out a laugh, "Of course Moony, what would you like to do?"

Remus frowned in thought, "I heard something of a legend about a Native American tribe that lives on the outskirts of Forks. I thought that we could go to the Reservation and see what kind of things they have about."

"I'm in. But what about Teddy?"

"Do you know what, I think that we should head home and get said Teddy-Bear and Ron and Hermione can do what they wish while we're out." Remus said turning back to the direction of their little homestead to pick up his son.

Harry rolled his eyes and chased after Remus with a smile on his face that widened when Remus started to run from the teen.

A pair of sad hazel and green eyes watched from the inside of the local grocery store as the teen ran happily after his guardian, their gaze's only turning from the pair when the baby in the basinet cried out in joy when he pulled his booty and sock off and played with his toes.

Harry huffed harshly as he stopped on the veranda of the house. Remus beating by a mile with his werewolf speed and was already in the house gathering up Teddy and his things when Harry entered and headed up to his room to change out of Edwards clothes and throw his others in the wash basket.

Feeling refreshed once again Harry grabbed his wand and cast a water repelling charm on his clothes and a warmth charm before grabbing his school bag and emptying it out and grabbed his phone when it bounced on the bed, grabbed his wallet and headed back downstairs.

"You ready to go Moony?" Harry asked as he joined Remus and Teddy at the front door.

"Yes Cub, I'm ready and so is Teddy. Ron and 'Mione are going to do something around the house while we explore the Reservation." Remus explained.

Harry nodded, "All right then lets go. I don't want to know what those two are going to do while we're gone." He gave a shudder, and elicited a laugh from Remus and they left the house.

"We are really going to buy another car. For me, 'Mione and Ron to drive to school." Harry said as they climbed into the car and started down the road toward the Reservation.

"When and if the three of you pass your test, then we will see about getting you a car all right." Remus offered.

Harry smiled brightly at the werewolf, "Deal Moony." He said as they pulled into the Reservation and stopped at the post office that they had on the land.

Exiting the car, Harry took a cleansing breath as the wind ruffled his hair as he looked around the Reservation. Remus was pulling out the baby bag awkwardly while juggling Teddy. Harry laughed and made his way around the car and pushed Remus gently out of the way before grabbing the baby bag with a roll of his eyes.

"You get the baby bag out first Moony." Harry chided, "Then you grab the baby."

Remus laughed and ruffled Harry's hair, "I know cub, that's what you're here for, to do all the heavy lifting."

"Then I should be holding Teddy. He's much too heavy for an old man like you." Harry responded grabbing the toddler from Remus' hold and took off laughing into the Reservation.

Remus shook his head, grabbed the baby bag from the ground and went off after Harry, setting the alarm on the car. In a few swift strides Remus caught up with Harry and slung an arm around the teens shoulder and tickled Teddy's feet.

Remus and Harry came to a stop as a man in a wheelchair and a group of teens entered their field of sight causing the wolf and teen to come to a stop.

"Hello. I am Billy Black, the Chief of this Reservation, you must be the Lupin's." Billy greeted, "Welcome to Forks and La Push."

Harry grimaced, "Damn small towns." he grumbled getting a laugh from those present.

"I am Remus Lupin and these are my sons Harry and Teddy, my daughter, Hermione, and her boyfriend, Ron, are at home. We hadn't come down here yet and thought that we would have a look around." Remus introduced.

"Welcome. This is my son Jacob and some of his friends, Embry, Quill and Sam." The teens waved as they were introduced.

"Nice to meet you all." Harry responded and grabbed Teddy's little wrist and waved it at them for him, Teddy let out a squeal of excitement and ended up waving hard at them, finding something new to do with his hands.

"Is there anything in particular that you would like to see?" Billy asked.

Remus shook his head, "No, just here to look around really."

"Then you should head to the beach, not always the best weather but it's still a nice view from on top of the cliffs." Jacob spoke up.

Harry blinked, "A beach? Never been to a beach before." He spoke up and looked over at Remus, "Could we check it out?"

Remus ruffled Harry's hair, "Of course we can."

"The boys could show you the way if you like." Billy spoke up.

"That would be wonderful, thank you. Though I think that I'll stick around here and have a look about. That alright Harry?" Remus spoke up.

Harry nodded, "Fine by me. But what about Teddy?" He asked.

"Take him with you. I'll meet you down there in about an hour okay." Remus explained to him.

"Okay Remmy. See you in about an hour then." Harry said and started to follow after the teens, once he took the baby bag from Remus.

"So what brings you out here?" Billy asked turning his chair so that he and Remus were side by side as the other man walked.

"Harry, Teddy and I haven't had a day together for a while and this is the only thing we had left to do in Forks." Remus explained, "Well for now anyway."

"Well I'll show you around then if you like." Billy offered.

"That would be nice of you, thanks." Remus responded to the man with a smile, "I do have to ask though, is it safe down at the beach?" He asked.

"Perfectly. The boys will look after Harry and Teddy and make sure that they come to no harm." Billy responded.

Harry looked out at the swirling waves, hoisting Teddy up on his hip a little more so that he had a better grip on the toddler. Jacob, Sam, Embry and Quill were at the waters edge tossing sticks and stones into the waves, seeing who could throw the furthest. Moving over to a large piece of drift wood Harry sat down and grabbed out one of Teddy's blankets and wrapped it around the toddler so that the cold wouldn't bother him so much while they sat there by the beach.

"Perhaps, one day when the sun does the rare thing of shining, we can down here and enjoy ourselves." Harry said to Teddy as the child snuggled back against his chest looking out at something new.

"That won't come around very often." Jacob spoke up coming over to them, "Usually when it does happen it's a school day."

"Well then I'll just have to talk Remus into giving me the day off of school should that happen." Harry responded with a smile.

"Well should that happen then I'll take the day off as well and show you the thrill of cliff diving."

"Cliff diving?"

The La Push teens each gave a bark of laughter, reminding Harry painfully of Sirius, "See that cliff over there?" Embry asked Harry pointing out the cliff he was talking about.

Harry nodded, "Yeah. What about it?"

"We go up to the top of that cliff and jump into the ocean below." He explained.

Harry paled slightly at the thought, some dangerous things had happened to him but he never was the leading cause of it, "Isn't that dangerous?" He asked.

"That's the whole thrill about it Harry." Jacob responded.

Emmett sat uncharacteristically quiet while his family cheered for their favourite team playing football, not that his family noticed, even though he was usually the loudest of them all. Something had been bugging him since Harry had left earlier in the afternoon but he couldn't put his finger of what it was. And Carlisle was still stressing over how he knew Remus.

Remus, that was it. That's what the problem was; it was what Remus had called Harry the entire few minutes that he had been here to pick Harry up. Remus had called Harry cub, but why? Why that term of affection for the teen.

"Uh, hey. Did anyone else notice something when Remus came to pick up Harry?" Emmett asked at halftime.

"What do you mean dear?" Esme asked.

Emmett looked down at the shag carpet with a thoughtful look, a furrow in his brow, "Well it's just that Remus called Harry 'cub' more then he called him by his name." He explained as he looked up at his family gaining 4 confused looks and one angry one. "Uh you know what, never mind."

Suddenly Carlisle jumped up from his chair, "That's it Emmett." He crowed and gave the confused bear wrestler a hug and hurried off to his office.

Emmett looked over at his family, confused, "Huh?"

Esme giggled, "I think you just gave the clue that Carlisle was looking for."

"What clue?" Alice asked, for once confused about the whole thing.

"The one of how he knows Remus." Edward responded with a thoughtful look of his face.

"Wish he'd share then." Emmett grumbled, "Cause I'm confused."

"Well that's not hard." Jasper piped up and had to duck out of the way quickly as Emmett came after him and both vampires raced out of the house leaving their significant others and mother to shake their heads in exasperation at their actions.

Charlie swan bounced on his feet, trying to see over the heads of the small group that piled in from the plane, trying to see where his daughter was. Upon spotting her, his eyes went wide with glee and he hurried through the people to get to her.

"Hey ya Bella." He greeted coming to a stop in front of her.

Bella looked up at Charlie, her eyes blank, clearly showing that she wanted to be anywhere but in Forks with her dad, "Hi dad." She replied as he grabbed her larger bag and headed out to the police cruiser and winced at the thought of rocking up at school in that.

"We'll dump your stuff at home and then go out to eat. I haven't gone shopping yet." He explained to her as they started for Forks.

"Yeah alright." Bella responded as she turned her attention to the world outside the car.

Both Remus and Harry left the Reservation happy, a content Teddy now sleeping in his carrier in the back seat of the car. Harry felt that he had made a few new friends out of Jacob, Quill, Embry and Sam, though Sam was still a little cold towards him. But being the new guy around he felt it was warranted, as he would do the same thing with someone new joining him and his friends.

"We received a long distance owl today with a request from the Ministry today. Asking if we, or more specifically, you, would do them a favour." Remus explained as they pulled into the driveway.

"What kind of favour?"

"One that both Hermione and Ron hope you say no to." Remus said hopping out, "The letter should still be on the kitchen table, go ahead and head inside to give it a read, Teddy and I'll be right behind you."

"Alright Remmy." Harry said and headed inside to the kitchen where said letter was waiting for him to read. Picking it up Harry flicked it open and started to read the contents of the rather long-winded letter.

Dear Mr. Potter,

It is with a request that I write to you. Knowing that in some way you will either help with our dilemma or give us another alternative as to what can be achieved with the request I have to ask.

It has come to our attention through sever testing with magic and potions that one Draco Malfoy was drugged with several different suggestion potions and was under the Imperious curse during his time with The Dark Lord. With the help of St. Mungos Draco has made a full recovery though with some lingering side effects that come with the use of the potions and Imperious curse for so long. Such as memory loss and emotional outbursts.

So this begs the answer to the question that I have to ask you.

Would you, Mr. Potter take Mr. Malfoy into your care and re-educate him on the Wizarding world, spells and potions included, and integrate him into Muggle society when you feel that he is ready?

I understand your past with Mr. Malfoy and know that it is quite a thing to ask of our Saviour even after everything that you have already done for us. It should also be known to you that you would be in charge of Mr. Malfoy's vaults and properties until we see fit that he is able to stand on his own two feet with in our society once again.

I ask that you talk this over with your guardian and friends before coming to a conclusion. But I must also ask that you make up your mind rather quickly, we would like a response by Friday .By writing on the back of this letter we will receive your immediate response and send Mr. Malfoy to you on the Saturday.

I thank you for thinking this over and hope you enjoy your time in your new home.

Minister of Magic,
Rufus Scrimgeour.

Harry put the letter down on the table and took a deep breath as he braced his hands against the edge of the bench, his head bowed between his extended arms as he thought about what was being asked of him by the Minister.

"Want to vent about it cub?" Remus questioned coming up behind the teen after he had put Teddy to bed.

Harry sighed, "I don't know Remus. I just don't know what to do." He responded.

Remus walked over to Harry and brought the teen into a hug, "It's nothing that I can help you with Cub. It's not something that is being asked of me. Though I do have a choice as to whether or not he should stay here as does Hermione and Ron, in the end it is not our choice, but yours." Remus explained to him, "So how's this? We go back over the pond and see Mr. Malfoy for ourselves at St. Mungos?"

Harry nodded against Remus' chest, "That would be good. I don't think that I could make a decision otherwise." He agreed, "But what about Ron and 'Mione?"

"Ron made his decision quite clear earlier when we read the letter. He does not want Mr. Malfoy to stay with us at all. Hermione always responds logically about every kind of situation."

Harry snorted, "Of course she does."

"So for now how about we head both get dinner started and we'll head up stairs to bed early and head out first thing in the morning to St. Mungos." Remus told him and moved over to the fridge to pull out the meat for dinner.

"Ok Moony, I'll chop the veggies and you can get the meat started out on the barbeque. I think a nice potatoes salad and coleslaw would be nice tonight." Harry muttered to himself as he pulled out the ingredients to start on the salads.

Remus smiled as his cub moved swiftly around the kitchen and gathered the needed ingredients and started to chop them up. Knowing that Harry wouldn't be long in making the salads he headed out and fired up the barbeque and started on the meat.

Carlisle flicked through the pages of one of his many journals searching for a particular entry. Having written everything that he had done in his undead life and about all of the people that he had treated during their many travels as a family, England being one of those places.

January 1966

I was called in the middle of the night, being the only on call doctor at the time, to a small cottage housing a family of three. I raced there hearing the urgency in the tone of the woman that had called asking for help.
Coming to the house I could smell wolf around the whole place and it took all of my will power not to turn around and leave the family to their fate. Upon seeing me coming up the side walk the woman came racing out of the house, tears coursing down pale cheeks. I could see the shock settling in over the woman as she quickly ushered me into her cottage.
'Please, you must do something.' She begged me, showing me to back yard.
There lying in the grass was a young boy, covered in only what could have been his own blood and not far from him was what I assumed was his father, dead. His throat ripped out.
Bracing myself I went right over to the child and began to look him over, I could already smell the venom of the wolf over taking the child, there was nothing that I could do to save him from that fate, other then letting him die.
But with the sobbing that was coming from the mother I knew that I couldn't let her loose her son as well as her husband, so as carefully as I could I picked the child up from the grass and asked for the woman to lead me to his room so that I could at least clean, suture and bandage the gaping wound.
'Did you happen to see what caused this?' I asked her.
The mother nodded, 'I… You'll think me crazy.' She responded, her chin wobbling as she tried to control herself.
'I would never think that. And anything that you tell me will be in the strictest of confidence.' I explained to her.
'Little Remus was outside playing. His father had just gone out to get him for his bath before bed when this wolf jumped out of the tree line and went straight for Remus, Jonathon tried his best to fight it off but in the end it was no good, the wolf ripped out his throat and then turned on Remus.' She explained to me.
I nodded as I took care of the wound, 'Could I please have some warm water?'
'Of course.' She responded and rushed off, only to return seconds later with the requested water.
'Would I be right in assuming that it was a werewolf that attacked your husband and son?' I asked, not looking up from what I was doing but I heard the slight gasp emit from the woman.
'I… Yes it was. How do you know that?' In no more then a whisper.
I looked over at her, 'I can smell it all over him. The venom is already working its' way through your sons system. There is nothing that I can do about that, all you can hope for is that your son pulls through his first full moon.'
'I will have to see about what can be done to reinforce the basement.' She whispered, "But please tell me, how do you know?'
I sighed and looked up from my work on her son, 'I am trusting you to keep this just between the two of us.' She nodded, 'I am a vampire.'
She just started at me with this stunned type of shock, I'm sure that she is unsure about how to take the news, especially with me taking care of her son and not going in to a blood frenzy.
'Thank you.' She finally responded with and gave me a small smile.
I smile back, 'You're welcome.' I responded and finished up the bandage, 'It's all up to your son now. Though I will be back before moonrise tomorrow, he will need some kind of help during his change. Even though a vampire and wolf are natural enemies, having someone there would be better then having no one at all.'
I watched as she walked over to her sons bed and sit down on it and ran a hand through the light blonde hair, 'I must alert the Ministry. It is best that you are not here when I make that call. They do not take to kindly to dark creatures.' She explained to me.
I nodded and gathered my things, 'My name is Dr. Carlisle Cullen.' I tell her and hand her my card with my numbers on, 'If you need anything before I come, give me a call and I will do my best to get here.'
'I am Rebecca Lupin, thank you very much for all of your help.' Rebecca responded giving me a watery smile and I left swiftly so that she could make her calls.

Carlisle flicked the journal closed and lent back in his chair, brushing a hand through his hair and then scrubbing it over his face, only to be disturbed from his thoughts by his study door opening. Looking up his topaz eyes met those of the love of his immortal life.

"Are you alright dear?" Esme asked coming in to the study.

Carlisle smiled at her, "I am dear heart." He responded holding out a hand for her to take. Taking the hand, Esme let him lead her around to him and she settled in his lap, brushing her fingers soothingly through his hair.

"Have you found what you have been looking for?" She asked.

Carlisle hummed, "I have."

"And?"

Carlisle chuckled, "Do you remember, in the mid 60's when we were in England?" He asked, and at her nod he continued, "I received a call one night, during the middle of the night?" Esme nodded, indicating him to continue, "It was a mother, her son and husband had just been attacked. When I had arrived the father was already dead, his throat ripped out and the son was bleeding from a bite to his hip. That young boy that I treated was Remus Lupin. It was that night that he was attacked by a werewolf and forever cursed." He explained.

"I remember that. You had gone back to see the boy for the next few months while we were there. You were helping him with the change and making sure that he wasn't hurting too much."

Carlisle nodded, "Yes. The boy may have been cursed to be a wolf, but he was still a child in need of care."

Esme smiled brightly at Carlisle and pulled him into a deep and loving kiss, "I am so proud to call you my husband and mate." She told him giving him another kiss. Seconds later they were in their room.
