Hi guys. I'm sorry for the delay but I was away on summer vacation. Thanks for the reviews. I love them!
Lesliebobo – I know, the chapter went there. I don't think I'm going to use Teddy at all. I'm safe in saying that now.
mattcun – Thank you for the props.
LaurenSaint – I know, I KNEW that would happen, that I would get that reaction. Everyone was expecting some Bella news, but a loot of people were asking "what's going in the Wizarding World?" I was curious and I found that this horror thing was happening and I felt it was time to share it. I had to share it, it was so baad, it was far worse than anything Bella is going through so. Bella will have to wait.
The Beauty – I know, lol, it was very bad.
AnimeBook's – I hope the comment of my mind was meant as a complement because of the fun and surprising twists and turns I'm doing to the story… lol … Thanks for the tips. Luv you!
GeaMari – Gea, Gea Gea… lol…Even I was surprised by what's happening up in England, it's really a horror movie up there. That's what I like about writing fanfiction, it's your own world with the characters you know and love from your favorite movies and books where you have the chance to make up your versions and your own stories going off on these new adventures not knowing what to expect! I can tell you right now, I can't promise that all of the Quileute wolves will survive, there is one who might not make it. But it's still brewing in my head. But don't worry it's definitely not Jake or Paul.
Elfin69 – Yes they will. They're smart kids so I with everything that's happened in England, they were gonna do everything they could to protect their loved ones.
*** Update… I took down my story LOVE IN WINTER because it wasn't going the way it was supposed to so I am reworking and rewriting it to get it back on track. I'll be up soon again. So please hang in there. ***
This is a looong & sweet chapter, but Jacob and Paul get a first hand look at the Wizarding World for the first time. There will be a BIIIIG surprise for the two couples here. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
Harry arrived at Forks High School and met Rosalie and Jasper. He saw Edward and Bella snuggling together. "What's with those two?"
"We don't know." said Rosalie.
"Jasper?" asked Harry.
"It's weird, Bella seems to have some huge female pheromone invasion in her body it's calling in Jacob." said Jasper. "Like a loooot of hormones."
"How odd…" said Harry. "Is she totally human?"
"Yes definitely." said Jasper.
"We're still keeping a look out though." said Rosalie. "Edward is exhausted, even for a vampire. All Bella wants to do is have sex, like she's on fire."
"Wow…" said Harry.
"So how are you?" asked Rosalie.
"Good." said Harry. They passed Edward and Bella who got up to go to class. Edward in haled Harrys scent, it drove him crazy, he still desired it more than anything. In ht eback of his head there's a small glimmer of hope for him and Harry even though it's fading quickly. "I'm going out of town for a week."
"Oh?" asked Rosalie.
"Yeah." Said Harry. "Something's happened back home, in the Wizarding World and I need to go help."
"Are you going alone?" asked Rosalie.
"No." said Harry. "I'm going with Caleb, Jacob and Paul." He smiled. "This will be their first time in the Wizarding World." He didn't hear Edwards jealous growl.
At the door they were met by Rita Skeeter. She was dressed in dark red, her pointed glasses were black that matched her long nails and black crocodile pumps. "Ah Harry."
"Hi Miss. Skeeter." said Harry.
"The principal will see us now." said Rita, briefly eyeing Bella and Edward with a disapproving eye.
"Ok." said Harry. He turned to the vampires. "I'll see you all later. Say hi to Alice, Carlsile, Esme and Emmett."
Rosalie smiled. "We will."
Harry and Rita walked into Principal Thomas office. The principal smiled. "Miss. Skeeter." And kissed her hand.
"Principal Thomas." Smiled Rita. "How nice to see you again."
"Please sit down." said Thomas. "Harry." he welcomed shaking Harrys hand. "What can I do for you?"
"You see the firm has asked me to come on their behalf to allow Harry a week off from school." Said Rita. Thomas was listening carefully. "He has important legal matters which can only be attended back in England and his presence is required, it concerns his parents will." "Well I don't see why not." Said Thomas. "Despite his absence, he has not fallen back on his studies and all his homeworks, tests and exams are top in his class. So I don't see why not." He turned to Harry. "Harry, your teachers have already given me your assignments." He handed the papers to Harry. "I expect you to continue maintaining your grades and your school work."
"Yes sir." said Harry.
"Then it's settled Miss. Skeeter." said Thomas.
Rita smiled. "Oh Mr. Thomas. Thank you." She got up with Harry as Thomas escorted them out. "Let me again congratulate you on your efficiency." Thomas blushed proudly. Rita got a envelope out of her messenger bag. "Here is an official congratulatory letter from Haw Eye Associates personally congratulating the school for it's professionalism and efficiency to support students with their private legal issues and for your services the school will receive a special commission." She handed him another envelope.
Principal Thomas opened the envelope and smiled proudly, Harry could only imagine the amount of muggle money they'd given the school. "It is our job to cooperate with the authorities in any matter concerning our students and we will continue to do so."
"I'm sure you will." said Rita. "Good day, Principal Thomas."
"Good day." smiled Thomas.
"Come along Harry." said Rita. She smiled back at the principal and led Harry out of school. The Cullens watched as Harry walked down the street with Rita and vanish in a puff of red smoke.
The following morning Harry, Caleb packed their bags. Luna, who had spent the night with Seth, had already left around dawn back to England on her Thestral. Jacob and Billy arrived first, the doors opened individually. "I love how the doors open like that." said Billy.
"Magic dad!" said Harry. Jacob loved how Billy and Harry had gotten so close.
"Hey son." said Billy. "How are you?"
"I'm good, slept quite well considering what were going to deal with." said Harry. "But I'm grateful."
"Where are you going to stay?" said Billy.
"We're staying at a little inn in Diagon Alley." said Harry. "It's pretty safe."
Jacob walked over. "Hey babe." He greeted and kissed his wizard boyfriend.
"Good morning Jake." said Harry kissing him back. He then looked around. "Where's Paul?"
"I texted him, he's coming over with Sam and Victor." said Jacob.
Caleb came down. "Hi Jake."
"Hey bro." said Jacob. He gave Caleb a hug and kissed him on the cheek. Their relationship was literally like brothers and kissing was definitely allowed to express brotherly love. Just like Paul and Harry. All four were inseparable now, they went everywhere together.
"We're here." said Paul walking in with Sam and Victor, his dad. They said hellos.
Paul hugged Caleb. "Hi babe."
Caleb kissed back. "Good morning love." He turned to Victor. "Hi Victor."
"Hi son." said Victor.
Harry hugged Sam. "Sam I need a favor."
"Sure." said Sam. "Tell me."
"I need you to keep an eye on the house, the grounds and of course keep everyone in the reservation safe while we're gone." said Harry. "Caleb and I casted a protection spell around the reservation to protect everyone but just keep an eye out."
Sam smiled. He felt touched of Harry's protection and caring feelings for the reservation and everyone in it. If he were a wolf, instead of a werecat, he'd be an alpha. "We and the pack will take care of it Harry, don't worry."
"Thanks." said Harry, he checked his watch. "Ok…It's time to go." He turned to Victor and Billy. "We'll take care of your two boys gentlemen." Paul and Jacob blushed. "We promise."
Billy and Victor laughed. "I like him." said Billy.
"Dad… " said Jacob between his teeth.
"Anyone who can embarrass Jacob like that…is winner in my book." said Billy.
"Ok!" said Jacob. "Time to go."
"I'll take you home." said Sam. "That way I park your car there and walk home."
"Be safe kids." said Billy.
"Good luck guys." said Victor. He hugged the four boys and walked off after Sam and Billy."
"Ok Harry." said Jacob. "How do we do this?"
"It's very simple." said Harry. He shrank their luggage, two suitcases, to the size of a toy car. He put his and Jacob's luggage in his pocket. Caleb did the same thing with his and Pauls and slipped into his pocket for safe keeping. "You get into the fireplace, hang on to me tight…" he takes out some floo powder.
"What is that?" asked Jacob.
"This is floo powder." said Harry. "You take it in your hand, say the place you want to go out loud, make sure you say it clearly and then throw the floo powder at the floor." Jacob was excited but a little scared.
"Demonstrate Harry." said Caleb.
Harry got in. "Come in and hang on to me tight."
"Ok!" said Jacob with a smile. Anything to get his arms around Harry.
Harry grabbed some floo powder in his hand and said. "Diagon Alley." He threw the powder to the floor and they were both engulfed in a big swirl of green flames and in one second later vanished from the room.
"Shit…" said Paul.
Caleb took his hand. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah…" said Paul. "As ready as I'll ever be."
They got into the fire. "Grab on to me." said Caleb. Paul didn't need to be told twice, Caleb grabbed some floo powder and said. "Diagon Alley." And threw the powder to the floor and like Jacob and Harry, they were engulfed in a big swirl of green flames and in one second later vanished from the room.
The two couples arrived in Diagon Alley at the same time. They stepped out and saw they were in a wide street which was lines on all sides by big brick fireplaces going up and down.
"That was amaaazing!" said Jacob.
Paul was gawking. "We have to do that again!" They both looked around. "Where are we?"
"We're in FLOO STREET." said Caleb. "People who floo in to Diagon Alley arrive here."
They started walking down the street after about twenty fireplaces, ten on each side of the street, they arrived at a big brick wall. Harry took out his wand and tapped the tip on certain bricks, three up and two across. "Ok… Stand back." Said Harry. The wolves stood back, their eyes never leaving the wall.
The brick wall quivered, it wriggled, in the middle, a small hole appeared, it grew wider and wider and a few seconds later they were facing an archway enough to fit three grown people, an archway onto a cobble street that twisted and turned out of sight.
"Welcome boys, to Diagon Alley." said Caleb.
Harry led them in, none of the Quileutes talked as they stepped though the the archway, the looked back as they saw it shrink instantly back to a solid wall. The sun shone brightly on the stack of cauldrons outside the nearest cauldron shop. They turned their heads in all directions was they walked up the street, trying to look at everything at once: the shops, the things outside them and the people.
A low soft hoot came from a shop called Eeylops Owl Emporium. They saw a broom shop with kids peeking in at the well polished brooms. One kid said "Look it's the Nimbus 2000, it was Harry Potters first broom at Hogwarts." He turned to his dad who laughed and said. "Alright son we'll get one."
They kept on walking, every shop was one they wanted to go into. The book stores, the robe shops, the divination stores, potion stores, everything. Turning at a corner they walked up to a snowy white building which seemed to be slanted just a little and towered over all the shops. Over the white column doorway there was a sign that said GRINGOTTS.
"Harry is that…?" asked Jacob.
"Yes Jake." said Harry. "That's Gringotts, the Wizard Bank."
"We'll be going there shortly." said Caleb.
They kept on walking and reached the corner where there was a sign that read THE SLEEPING WOLF INN, kind of ironic, but none the less thrilling. They walked in up to the counter. "Good morning, I'm Ester Day." Said the hostess.
"Good morning we have a reservation." said Harry.
"Name…" said Ester.
"Harry Potter." said Harry.
Ester looked up and got all excited. "Oh…Mr. Potter, forgive me."
"It's alright." said Harry.
"Yes. Here it is… Suite for four people…for five days and four nights." said Ester.
"Yes that's right." said Harry. Ester rang and in walked two bellboys. Harry and Caleb took out the four suitcases from their pockets regrew them to their normal size. The bell boys took them and walked off and up the stairs. "Please don't tell anyone that we're here." Ester nodded. "And could you please send this note to the Ministry as soon as possible.
"Of course, Mr. Potter." said Ester. She rushed off to do his bidding.
Harry turned to Jacob, Caleb and Paul. "Ok… Now how about we go to Gringotts. We'll need some money."
"Money?" asked Jacob.
"Of course guys." said Caleb. "We need to get you some new clothes."
"What wrong with what we have?" asked Paul.
"To us nothing, we prefer you naked if we could." said Caleb. Paul and Jacob grinned while blushing and Harry nodded. "But you're wearing muggle clothes, which again we don't mind but tomorrow we're going to the Ministry of Magic where formal clothes are required and muggle clothes are out of the question."
Paul turned to Harry. "Really?"
"Really…" said Harry.
Jacob nodded to Paul, who nodded back, and sighed. "OK! …" He smiled. "Lead the way."
Gringotts – Paul and Jacob were surprised and slightly creeped out by the goblins. They were scary creatures, they were about two heads, maybe three, shorter than they all were. Inside they walked down a large marble hall, dozens of goblin sat on high stools with long counters scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins in brass scales, examining precious stones and jewels. They walked up to the main counter which was up about six feet high.
"Good day." said Harry. "We've come to withdraw some money and open two accounts please."
"Of course Lord Potter." said the goblin. He turned to Caleb. "Lord Cromwell. Please follow me." He led them through a door on the left down a long hallway with shimmering candle sconces on the walls, and into a private consulting wing. "I'm Knothook, please sit down."
Grimly, another goblin came in with some papers. "Under what names will these accounds be under?"
"Jacob Black." said Harry.
"and Paul Lahote." Finished Caleb.
"Very well." said Grimly.
Harry took over again. "I'd like to put all the all the money of the Black Family vault in Jacob Black's vault please."
"Is he of any relation to Sirius Black?" asked Grimly.
"Yes." said Harry. "Sirius Black was Jacob's uncle. As a blood relative he has the right to the vault."
"Harry, I can't." said Jacob. "Uncle Sirius left it to you."
"I will not have it Jake." said Harry. "You're a Black, it belongs to you. Plus I have more than enough money in the Potter vault." He saw Jacob was going to argue. "If it makes you feel better you can grant me permission and I can take money from there anytime I want. He'd like us to share if you desperately insist on it."
"Perfect." said Jacob.
"And I'd like the galleons from my grandmothers vault, Maria Cromwell, in Paul's vault please."
"Caleb, that's your grandmother's money…" said Paul.
"Paul I never use that vault, I've never had to." said Caleb. "I might as well give it to you who I know will benefit from it, and I know it's not going to waste. I know she'd love you to have it."
Paul smiled. "Ok."
"Very well." Knothook. "Give us few minutes to transfer the money." They all nodded, Paul and Jacob nodded not really knowing what to say or do. "We'll come back with your keys."
Caleb looked the werewolves. "Consider it your seed money. Your smart guys, I'm sure soon you'll have a good business sense, you'll know where and what and how to invest and soon you'll start multiplying it."
"I suggest you invest in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes." said Harry. "I did and it's been great. But we'll have time for that. For now just feel safe that here in our world you are economically secure."
They were about to argue but Caleb interrupted. "Remember when I said no questions asked…" They nodded and shut up about it.
The goblins returned. Knothook gave Jacob his key. "Please sign here Mr. Black." Jacob signed the paper admiring the quill. "Congratulations, Mr. Black, your vault number is 686." He gave the skeleton key to Jacob.
Jacob saw the key was made out of pure gold. "Thank you." The goblin bowed and walked back to the table.
Harry turned to Jacob. "My vault is 687. You're right next to me." Jacob smiled and kissed his forehead.
Grimly walked in with papers and a key. "Please sign here Mr. Lahote." Paul did so admiring the parchements and the quill too. "Congratulations, Mr. Lahote, your vault number is 689." He gave Paul his skeleton key which was also gold.
"Thank you." said Paul. The goblin nodded walked back to the table with Knothook. "What's your vault Caleb?"
"Vault 688." said Caleb. Paul looked at him. He took the werewolfs hand. "Side by side, as it'll always be."
"686, 687, 688 and 689… " said Harry. "We're all side by side, all four of us, together forever."
Knothook walked over. "The transfers are complete. Is there anything else you desire Lord Potter."
"Yes. We'd like to go and make a withdrawal." said Caleb. "Now if possible."
"Certainly Lord Cromwell… This way." said Knothook. He led them back to the main hall of the bank. "Griphook will take you down." He pointed to the door on the other side of the hall. A goblin opened it and led them in.
Jacob and Paul expected more marble but as they walked downward the hall changed it was now a narrow stone passageway with flaming torches, soon the floor sloped deep down toward up to a huge opening. They saw railway tracks on the floor. Griphook whistled and two small cart came hurtling up the tracks stopping in front of them. Caleb smiled. "Climb in guys…" Harry got in the front cart with Jacob and he got in the back cart with Paul. "and hang on tight."
The cart took off, they hurtled through the maze of twisting passages, it was literally impossible to keep track. The carts seemed to know their own ways. They eyes stung as cold air rushed passed them bit they all kept them open regardless. They saw a burst of fire come at them but couldn't see. Jacob made a note to ask Harry later. They plunged deeper into the darkness, passing and underground lake. Soon the carts came to stop in front of a platform of a wide hall torch lit hallway that led deep into the stonewall. "Vaults 686, 687, 688 and 689." said Griphook.
"Thank you." said Harry. All four got off the carts and onto the platform. The carts took off again. "I'll call them when we're done. Goblins respect privacy."
"Ok…" said Jacob. "Now what?"
"Open your vault Jake." said Harry.
Jacob put his key inside and turned it. He heard the sound of countless locks clicking open, a faint trail of green smoke came out as the door opened up. He stepped in and almost fell. The room was filled with tall mounds of gold coins, one column of silver and a shelf with rare stones and jewels. "This is all mine?"
"Lets say you and your father can retire if you like." said Harry. " With this you won't need to work ever again. It's been through three generations and not a sole has emptied it. You can even open up your own business."
"I'd like that…some day." said Jacob.
"Ok! Now pick up all the money you want. Cause we're going shopping." said Harry. "Feel free to look around. I'm going to my vault." Jacob looked at him. "I'll be next door Jake. Don't worry, we're safe here."
Pauls face was also in shock when he opened his vault. The room was filled with two tall mounds of gold coins, two columns of silver and a shelf with rare stones and jewels and a shelf with bronze nuggets. "I…I can't…"
"Yes you can babe." said Caleb. "Grandma would want you to have it. I'm sure of it."
"What can I take?" asked Paul.
"Whatever you want, as much as you want." said Caleb. "You won't live to empty this place. It's been seven generations of Cromwells and now a Lahote and the place is still loaded."
Paul picke dup a velvet bag and gabbed some gold. "What are these called?"
"Galleons." said Caleb. "It's our wizard currency." Paul grabbed a big handful and filled up the bag. Caleb casted a weightless spell on it and shrank it down so it fit into Pauls pocket. With that Paul led him out, closed the vault, turned the key making all the endless locks clasp shut.
Caleb walked into his vault. It was similar to Pauls but his had more jewels and stones rather than bronze nuggets.
"Why do wizards wear their wedding rings on their right hand ring finger?" asked Paul.
"Just a way to differentiate ourselves from muggle custom." said Caleb. "It's been that way for centuries." He got a green velvet box from one of the tables. "Now that were here, I want to give you this."
Paul took the box and opened it. The ring was similar to Caleb's ring. Inside was an 8 carat, radiant cut, glacier blue aquamarine ring, the blue stone was surrounded by white diamond clusters with a silver band. "Caleb…"
Caleb took the ring out. "Just as I opened the doors of the vault I remembered this being here…This ring is very special to me, the stone which the soul of the ocean, came from deep in the Norwegian Sea. This ring is very special; it belonged to my grandfather Duke Henry Cromwell…" he took a breath. "Paul, ever since you gave my engagement ring, I've been trying to find just the perfect ring to do you justice, a ring that is worthy of you. My grandfather said this ring was to give to the one I picked for his husband, it must only be given to someone I love it's magic will bind them to me forever…" He took another deep breath. "Now here in this vault, in the presence of his spirit I feel ready to say…" Paul breathed in as Caleb kneeled down on one knee "Paul Lahote, wolf of my heart and love of my life… Will you marry me?"
Paul was pouring tears, the icy blue reminded him of the sea, which reminded him always of Caleb. It was perfect. "Yes." he cried. "Yes I'll marry you!"
Caleb smiled as he slipped on the ring onto Paul's right hand ring finger, as tradition dictates, which fit perfectly. Paul took Caleb's hand and helped him up and went on to devour his lips with his, how he wanted so much to lie him down on top of the mountain of gold and fuck him he was so happy.
"Ehemmm…" said Harry. Caleb and Paul turned to see him and Jacob standing at the door. "Are we interrupting something?"
"No." said Paul with a smile. He got up and helped Caleb off the cold mountain on the floor.
"Actually that's good." said Harry. "I don't think anyone has had sex inside Gringotts in…well…ever. I don't think the goblins would like it." he grinned.
"So what's all the commotion?" asked Jacob.
Paul smiled. "Caleb just proposed to me."
Harry was so surprised. "What?"
"Yes!" said Jacob with a big jump in the air. He and Harry ran over. "Lets see it!" Paul showed them the ring.
"Niiiice job Caleb. "said Harry.
"It was grandfather Cromwells ring." said Caleb. "The only ring perfect enough for Paul."
Harry looked at Paul's ring then looked at Calebs. Caleb's ring was a large asscher cut, 10 carat chocolate diamond clusters with a silver band. They were almost identical, except for the central stones which differed; Pauls was ice blue and Calebs was chocolate brown. Yet the brown and the blue complemented each other well. Just like Harry's and Jacobs red and green rings complemented them as a couple. Both his and Jacobs rings were different styles from Pauls and Calebs but all were equally beautiful.
"Before we leave. I want to do something." said Harry. "Today is all peace and love and happiness. But tomorrow we're going work, danger will be near us and I don't want to risk losing any of you." He took a breath. "So I have decided to cast a protraction spell."
Caleb, Paul and Jacob asked unanimously. "A what?"
"A protraction spell, I made it up." said Harry. "It's a powerful protection and tracking spell. I'm gonna cast it on all four rings. The spell will repel and protect us all from danger of any kind. It'll also allow us to find each other."
"Good." said Caleb.
"Also it's also charmed so no one can take the rings off but you." added Harry. "Now…Everyone hold out your ring hand." They did so linking all their hands together in front of them. "Now think of each other, each other as a individual couples and each other as a family. Think of how much we love each other and how much we want to safe and together." They all followed his instructions. Harry breathed in and chanted. "PROTECTO TRACICUS AMORE MAXIMORUM " Opening their eyes they as the ring stones lit up, shining bright reds, greens, bright brown and bright blue. Without letting go of each other, Harry added. "We are a family."
"And we love and protect each other." said Caleb.
"Forever." said Jacob and Paul.
The rings shinned bright one more time before fading back to normal. Caleb takes some money in a velvet bag, escorts the group out of his vault, locks it closed with his key. They call down the cart and ride up tracked passageways and back up to the bank.
***Hi guys. Again, sorry for the delay, but I was away on vacation. 1) I changed the design of Caleb's ring to make it similar to Paul's ring at Gringotts. I wanted the two couples to have particular style of ring that goes with their own individual relationship. Caleb and Paul have one style which is different from Jacob and Harrys. 2) This was a very fun chapter because I got to back to then I was a kid and remember reading abd going to Diagon Alley for the first time in my head. It was such fun to go back to that feeling with Paul and Jacob. I love these two couples. I love that their having fun. 3) things are gonna get serious in the next few chapters, I can say that now. But along with the tough times I can hint that there will be a BIIIIIIG surprise happening for both couples a GOOD ONE don't worry, before they return to Forks. I promise, now that I'm back from vacation, I promise more chapters are coming up this week. Please leave your reviews. ***
