The icy-cold rain drops began to fall once the sun disappeared in the horizon. It was completely dark and the full moon had risen but was hidden behind the storm clouds. The rain fell with a vengeance creating large pools of water on the ground. Beyond the flooding forest, in the Cullen home, the golden eyed vampires stayed indoors keeping dry. While some watched T.V. others read or worked in their home office. Edward on the other hand let out an unneeded breath of frustration. He and Bella were arguing, again, in his room. The two had argued more in the past week than they have known each other. This time, Bella was arguing that Edward wanted to spend more time with Draco just like Jacob, just because he had suggested they go and visit them. He wanted to know more about Draco's world, but Bella was being unreasonable. She even accused him of being in love with Draco too and that he was going to leave her. She started blaming the blond for trying to take everyone from her. Edward sighed and stayed silent, waiting until she was done, he was getting tired of her jealousy towards the blond wizard.
In the opposite direction, in La Push, the Quileute shifters were switching patrol shifts. Paul, Embry and Seth were to patrol. Sam was home having dinner with Emily while Leah, Jared and Quil were headed home, done with their shift, to dry off. The shifters on patrol growled under the cold sting of the rain. They had no desire to be out at the moment. Their fur was almost instantly soaked and matted down under the heavy downpour and their hot breath became visible in the cold air.
Somewhere between the Quileute territory and the Cullen territory laid Draco's house in silence. There were no lights on until Winky turned the chimney on knowing her master would want its warmth. She then headed to finish preparing dinner.
Draco and Jacob slept in each other's arms. Draco slowly awoke and smiled as he remembered what they did earlier that day. He couldn't believe his situation. He was in utter fear of Bellatrix' arrival but he also felt happier than he's felt in a very long time. He looked up at the shifters sleeping face and smiled. He didn't know why he felt the way he did about Jacob because he's never felt like that for another guy or any girl for that matter. He didn't care, though. He knew now that he loved the shifter and felt peaceful warmth every time he was with the Quileute. He was happy that his feelings were reciprocated.
Draco reluctantly moved away from Jacobs' warm body, wincing a little as he slid off of the shifters member. He was sore and limped slightly as he headed for the bathroom. He could feel the shifters fluid slide out of him as he used the bathroom and he blushed at the memory of when he was filled. He was no longer a virgin. He had never before gone this far with any girl and especially not with any guy, but he was glad to know that Jacob was his first and he couldn't help but hope that he would be his only.
When he finished his shower, he pulled on a pair of his black silk pajamas and a black t-shirt. He dried his hair with the towel, leaving it damp and tussled. He then went back to the room and found that Jacob was already awake.
"Hey."
"Hey." The two said to each other awkwardly. Draco headed to the bed and sat on the edge. He pulled out his magically charmed medicated cream and applied it to his stitched up arm.
"How are your ribs? Are they completely healed now?" Jacob asked as he sat up and helped Draco bandage his arm.
"Yes, they're just a bit sore, that's all." Jacob finished with the bandage and surprised the blond as he pulled him into his arms and lay back down with him.
"I love you." Jacob whispered in the blond's ear. Draco shuddered and held the shifter close.
"I love you too."
The two stayed there a few minutes until they heard the doorbell ring. They sighed knowing that they had to get up.
"Who would be here this late?" Jacob asked a bit annoyed. "It better not be Seth…oh wait, no, he's out on patrol."
Draco chuckled at the shifter. They both heard Winky open the door bell, and a familiar voice rang out, cutting through the silence of the house.
"Bloody hell, is it pouring cats and dogs out here!" The voice said and Draco was confused. They're not supposed to be here for another two days! Why are they already here?
Draco practically ran out his room and leaned over the top of the stairs to verify that it was really them.
"What are you doing here?" Draco asked out loud surprising Harry, Ron and Hermione who were pulling off their wet jackets and handing them to Winky.
"Is that the way you greet all your guests? Very rude, Malfoy." Ron said.
"Sorry, it's just; I wasn't expecting you to arrive for another two days, according to your letter, Harry." Draco said and began to make his way downstairs.
"Sorry about that," Harry said, "We had a bit of a problem. The minister was starting to regret his choice about sending you protection, so we figured if we came before he could change his mind, he'd have to send the aurors at least for my protection. He wouldn't allow me to fight the death eaters without their help."
Draco nodded in understanding. He was a bit bummed though that he wouldn't be able to be alone with Jacob like he'd wanted to but then he was also angry at the minister for not wanting to send him protection.
They stood in silence then, feeling a bit awkward. This was the first time they were together since the war, not as rivals or enemies.
"Thank you." The blond finally said. "I owe you, all of you, my freedom…my life." He looked down.
No one said anything and then a hand came into his gaze. He looked up and saw that Harry had extended out a hand to him.
"Friends?" the dark haired boy asked.
Draco smiled and took his hand. They shook hands and smiled at each other. The blond then turned to Hermione and Ron.
"I would like to apologize for any and all things I've said and done to you two. I was wrong…Can you ever forgive me?"
"You called me a moodblood so many times—" Hermione said.
"And you made me throw up slugs—" Ron cut in
"Ron that was your fault." Harry corrected.
"Whatever," The red head said.
"Like I was saying, " Hermione continued, "I really hated you back then, but after everything that's happened to us, to you, I think it's time for us to start over." She smiled at him, "I forgive you."
"I, well," Ron said embarrassed, "I do too."
Draco smiled at them both. "Thank you."
Just then they all turned as they heard a creak in the stairs. Jacob was coming down the stairs. Draco noticed that the shifter had pulled on his shorts but left his torso exposed.
"This is Jacob, Jacob these are my friends, Harry, Ron and Hermione." He introduced them.
Draco noticed their mouths were open in a small 'o' as they saw the tall, tan and muscular Quileute. He noticed Ron pull Hermione a bit possessively. He must feel insecure. Of course, he should, Jacob is a whole lot more to look at than Ron.
"Draco who is that?" Ron whispered trying to be discreet.
"I'm his boyfriend." Jacob answered the red head, not ashamed at all. Draco on the other hand blushed crimson red and felt more than saw three pairs of eyes on him.
"I um…" Draco stuttered.
"Wow, I never would have guessed that Draco Malfoy, a Malfoy leaned that way." Ron teased.
"I don't, it's just this one time. Jacob is…" he looked at the shifter, "…he's special." The blond said and blushed dropping his gaze. He felt the shifter pull him into his arms.
Harry, Hermione and Ron were dumbstruck. They had never thought to see the day when Draco would show his emotions as clearly as he was. The look in his eyes as well as the crimson red blush that colored his cheeks practically yelled out how strongly he felt for the tall guy.
Ron was about to make another teasing remark but stopped when Hermione jabbed him in the side with her elbow.
"And Draco's mine, so don't even think about trying to steal him away." Jacob warned.
"He's all yours." Ron said trying to hide a smile.
"So, um, would you like to sit down?" Draco said changing the subject and motioning to the living room. "Winky please bring some tea."
They all sat in the living room couches warming themselves with the fire from the chimney.
"Ok, the first thing you guys need to know is what's going on here in Forks." Draco began. He explained about the Quileute shifters and made it clear that they were not werewolves but more of a form of animagus. He said that Jacob was one of them and Ron immediately wanted to see him phase. Hermione made sure to stop Ron's persistence. Draco then explained that the Cullens were vampires, but quickly made it clear that they weren't like the ones that had sided with Voldemort.
"How can you be sure they won't attack? They're vampires." Hermione said getting alarmed to know that there were vampires nearby.
"They won't. Mainly because they're vegetarian vampires—"
"And because they have a treaty with my tribe, not to attack." Jacob cut in.
"How can a vampire be vegetarian and for what purpose?" Harry asked.
"They only feed on animal blood. They chose to live this way because they don't want to harm people." Draco said.
"But isn't your kind," Hermione asked Jacob, "their enemy, yet you have a peace treaty with them?"
"The treaty was made only because the Cullen's swore they wouldn't harm anyone. So as long as they don't bite another human being, we tolerate their presence and allow them to live here."
Draco then went on to explain the difference between these vampires from the vampires they knew. He explained how they could be out under the sun but refrained from doing so under the human eye because it would reveal them as being something else. They didn't sleep in coffins or sleep at all and they weren't affected by garlic or crosses.
Hermione was very interested because it could possibly be that the magical world was about to uncover a new type of vampire species that they didn't know about but apparently have existed for a long time.
Draco then had everyone move to the kitchen table to have dinner, where he proceeded to explain the situation with Victoria and her quest for revenge. He explained Bella's relationship with Edward and why Victoria wanted to kill her to make Edward suffer and he explained how the red head wanted to kill him to make Jacob suffer.
"You said she's bringing an army of newborn vampires here at the end of this week, when the first snowstorm will arrive?" Harry asked.
"Isn't that around the time we assume Bellatrix and the death eaters will arrive?" Ron asked in shock.
"Yes. Alice had a vision and saw snow when the death eaters arrive, but she wasn't sure if it was the same day Victoria will be here or any day after. What she did see was that it was night time." Draco said. He had also explained how some of these types of vampires had special abilities such as Edward, Alice, and Jasper.
"What exactly did she see in her vision?" Hermione asked.
Draco stayed silent for a moment and then explained Alice' vision, the death eaters, the dark mark in the night sky and Bellatrix who was about to kill him.
"Great, it seems we're in for an even bigger battle than what we had assumed." Ron said as he stuffed his mouth with spaghetti. None argued with his comment.
After they finished dinner they headed back to the living room and had some more tea by the chimney. It was already 10pm and the rain continued to pour down outside.
"The other 4 aurors should be arriving the day after tomorrow." Harry said.
"Do you think they'll help us fight Victoria and her newborns?" Draco asked.
"We don't know," Hermione answered, "They were sent by the minister mainly to capture the death eaters, and hopefully they'll have a conscious and help us."
"I'm pretty sure that with the Cullens, my pack and you 3, we'll be able to take care of the newborns, even if they don't help us." Jacob said and Draco stared at him with a raised eyebrow.
"You mean, 'you 4' right Jacob?" Draco said realizing Jacob excluded him from the list of those who would be fighting.
"No, you're not fighting. Victoria wants you dead so it would be best if you stay away as I'm sure Edward will have Bella stay away." Jacob stated.
"Jacob, I'm not going to hide and cower while everyone risks their lives for me. I won't have you risk your life for me if I can't fight for myself."
They had a staring competition to make their point. They broke eye contact when they heard someone clear their throat.
"We'll talk about it later." Jacob said knowing it was going to be hard to convince Draco to not fight against the newborns.
"So where can we set up our tent?" Hermione intervened before Draco could argue back, "We were going to set it up outside but I'd rather not, under the current weather."
"You're setting up a tent inside the house? Why not just sleeping without it?" Jacob asked confused.
"It's a magically charmed tent. It's a lot bigger inside and it accommodates all of our needs without hogging too much room." Harry said.
"There's a second bedroom upstairs. You can set it up there, that way you don't have to take it down until you leave. The aurors can set theirs up next to yours when they arrive." Draco said still upset at Jacob.
"Well then I think we'll head to sleep, we're a bit tired from the trip."Harry said standing up, Ron and Hermione following his lead.
Draco nodded and showed them up to the room, where he quickly cast a spell to shrink the bad and make room for their tent. Hermione cast a charm that unshrunk and set up their tent in a matter of seconds. It was a small tent, about the same size as the one the Weasley's owned. Jacob had followed them upstairs and raised an eyebrow at the small size that looked barely big enough for one person.
"You're joking right? That doesn't look magically charmed to be bigger." The shifter said unconvinced.
"It's bigger inside than it is outside." Ron said and walked inside. Harry and Hermione followed Ron in and Jacob was surprised they all fit.
"Take a look inside." Draco said before walking into the tent himself.
When Jacob entered he stopped and had a disbelieving and confused look on his face. He walked back outside and looked carefully at how small the tent was. He walked back in and tried to figure out how it was bigger inside. Magic, duh. He thought.
"That's cool." Jacob said. There were three beds inside as well as a door which he assumed might possibly be the bathroom. It was pretty spacious too.
After a few more minutes, Draco and Jacob said goodnight to the three guests and left to Draco's room. Even though they weren't too tired, thanks to their nap, they both got ready for bed. They didn't say anything to each other and Jacob hated the silence. He knew Draco was probably mad at him for telling him that he wasn't going to fight against the vampires.
He didn't want the blond angry at him so he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy from behind just as Draco was about to get into bed.
"I'm sorry." Jacob said wanting Draco to forgive him.
"How could you ask me to cower from a fight that involves me?" Draco finally asked in frustration.
"Because I don't want to lose you." Jacob whispered into his ear. Draco turned in his arms to look at him.
"Did you think I would just stay away while you risked your life? I don't want to lose you either." Draco said his eyes getting watery. "I finally found you, the one person that makes me feel alive, cherished, loved… you are…you're everything to me now, I wouldn't be able to survive if you were killed." His tears broke free and fell down his cheeks.
Jacob caressed the blonds' cheek and wiped away his tears. "You're not going to lose me, Draco," He kissed the blond on his forehead. "Believe me when I say I wouldn't survive if you died, either." He picked up the blond and went to lay on the bed where he pulled Draco into his arms. Draco held on tightly to the shifter, taking in his warmth.
"What if we stay away together?" Draco whispered. "Since you don't want me to fight and I don't want you to fight, let's stay away."
"I can't just let my pack fight alone."
"It's either we both fight or we both stay away." Draco said looking up into the shifters deep brown eyes.
"You're very stubborn, Draco." Jacob chuckled.
Draco smiled and Jacob leaned down and kissed him.
"Why don't we think on it a bit longer because right now we're both being too difficult?" Jacob said as they broke their kiss.
"It doesn't matter whether it's now or later. I'm not changing my mind." Draco said and began to pull away from Jacobs embrace but Jacob held him in place.
"What if I persuade you…?" Jacob whispered into the blonds' ear and then sucked on his earlobe. Draco gasped in surprise.
"Jacob…stop…they'll hear us…" the blonds breath hitched as the shifter began sucking on the side of his neck. Jacob rolled them until he was on top of the blond and continued to sensually suck on his neck.
"You're a wizard…do some magic and make the room sound proof." Jacob said against the boys' creamy pale neck.
"…I just showered…" Draco said trying in vain to come up with an excuse to stop, when he really didn't want to stop.
"You can take another shower." Jacob mouth moved up and began to trail hot kisses up the blonds' sharp jaw line. Draco's gasped in pleasure and quickly turned his face to meet the shifters lips with his own. He immediately let the shifters tongue into his mouth. Their tongues dashed together in a heated kiss as Jacob ran his right hand down the side of the boys' body, making Draco shiver. They broke their kiss and Draco took the moment and cast a silencing charm on the room.
"Am I persuading you?" Jacob asked in a smirk.
"Not at all." Draco returned the smirk with a seductive look.
"Shit…I think I'm just persuading myself." Jacob said and re-attacked Draco's mouth. They rolled again and this time Draco lay on top of Jacob. He arched his back so that his groin pushed into Jacobs and they both groaned in pleasure. They kept the heated kiss going as Draco kept on rubbing their groins together. Even through their clothes the two felt each other stiffening.
There was a quick knock on the door before it opened, "Hey Malfoy, Hermione wants to know if…" Ron's eyes nearly bulged out of his eyes.
Both shifter and the blond tried to disentangle themselves from each other as fast as they could and Draco ended up falling to the floor on the opposite side of the bed from the door, face red as an apple. Ron had seen exactly what they were doing.
"Bloody hell! I'm traumatized for life!" Ron yelled before rushing back to his temporary room.
Draco stayed on the floor in embarrassment. He heard Jacob chuckling. "Are you ok?" the shifter asked leaning over the side of the bed to look at his imprint.
Draco looked up at the amused shifter and couldn't help but begin to laugh lightly.
"Perhaps next time you should lock the door." Jacob said and continued laughing as well and helped the blond back onto the bed.
"Can I come in?" Hermione asked standing in the door way. Ron had left the door open in his hurry to get away.
"Sure, apparently permission isn't needed." Jacob answered for the blond.
"I'm sorry about Ron, he's doesn't have good manners and just barges in without waiting for the OK." Hermione said.
"I'm sure he'll finally learn after this." Draco smiled at her.
"Yes well, I had originally asked Ron to come and ask you if you have put up enough protective spells around the house. If not I could set some up for you."
"Oh, no I set them up after that Red headed leech broke in and tried to kill me." The blond said.
"Oh ok, well good night and again, sorry about Ron." She said before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
"You should take a shower." Draco told the shifter soon after.
"I think I'll do that."
Draco watched Jacob leave the room and buried himself deep in his blankets as he shook from the slight giggles he suddenly got. He couldn't forget the stupid horror look on the Weasley's face when he caught them in such an intimate position.
He slowly drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face. He could only recall when he felt Jacob return to bed and pull him into his arms.

AN: Thank you again to those of you who have reviewed and to answer a few questions: as of right now, it is not an mpreg story, but if enough of you want it to be then I'll do it. Also, Bella will not get over it and I am pairing Edward and Harry, but Jacob and Draco will be the main focus.
Also I got a review asking me if I've read Harry Potter, and the answer is no, I haven't. I am writing this story from the knowledge I've acquired from the movies, friends who have told me what happens in the books and from my own research. I know I haven't used words like 'healer' or that he was suddenly flying on planes and driving a car, but this is my story and I'm writing it as best as I can, I'm not really focused on such precise details but more on the love between Draco and Jacob. I will eventually read the books but I can't find the time to at the moment. Sorry to anyone who likes the precise details but sometimes I forget how they are.
Thanks again to all of you, please R&R.
