As for the inquiries about Jacob's lineage… I am not telling. It will be in one of the next few chapters when a surprise visit from a certain godfather…

Chapter 8 animal attack and the Quellette wolf Rez

I heard a knock at the front door.

"I'll get it." Jacob said still smiling as he made his way through the living room to the front door. "Charlie!" I heard him say with joy. Bella rolled her eyes and groaned.

A moment later I heard Jacob's soft footfalls mixed with those of heavy working boots.

"Hey kids." Charlie boomed with a grin as a soft 'hey' came from Bella and me. "I just wanted to tell Bella that I'd be out late. There was some kind of animal attack over in Mason County and they've asked for assistance."

"Animal attack?" Bella asked.

"Your not in Phoenix anymore Bells. Well I need to get going; I just thought I would let you guys know. And to ask you to stay out of the woods." He said making Jacob roll his eyes at Charlie's back. "I wont be back till late Bella and I'd feel much more comfortable with you with the boys…" he trailed off looking at me and Jacob.

"We hadn't made any plans yet but we were planning on making plans."

"We go to the Rez." Jacob said earning him a smile from Charlie.

"Perfect."

"I need to get started on your car anyway." Jacob added with a grin in my direction.

"Yes. Pease." I said with a matching grin.

"And there's tons of stuff to do at the Rez." Jacob added for Bella.

"Well I really need to get going. I'll see you kids later. Bella make sure you keep your cell on you."

"Yes dad." She said rolling her eyes making him flip her on her forehead. "Ouch… meanie." She said with a mock glare.

He rolled his eyes and made his way back through my house with Bella following.

I turned to Jacob. He wasn't smiling. He was tense.

"I need to get to the Rez to find out what is going on." He said looking up at me.

"Alright." I said pulling off my shirt as I walked out of the kitchen. I could feel his eyes on me, which was what I wanted, to distract him. I didn't like him looking so tense.

Once I was changed into a pair of red track pants and a random Gryffindor shirt I grabbed my trainers and made my way back down the stairs.

Bella and Jacob were sitting at the kitchen table talking it sounded like but when I touched the bottom step they stopped which made me think it was about me.

"Ready to go?" I asked as I sat to put on my trainers.

"Yeah. Listen I need a shower and a change of clothes that are mine. I'll meet you guys down there in about an hour or so. Do you mind dropping me off at my house?" she asked softly suddenly cautious as we walked to the front door.

"Like I would make you walk." I said sarcastically as I grabbed my keys and wallet from the banister.

"Shot gun!" Jacob said racing Bella to the car. Holding back a lot he still beat her. I rolled my eyes. I liked them.

After dropping Bella off Jacob gave me directions passed the little used auto shop.

We pulled to a stop just outside of a red building.

"This is my house." Jacob said with a smile as he climbed out of the car and walked me to the front door.

When he opened the screen door it squeaked softly making me smile. He'd never get to sneak out this way…

There was a note on the TV screen.

Jake Gone to Harry Clearwater's for more fishing…

Billy

"Swe-eet house all to ourselves!" Jacob said pumping a fist into the air before he turned more serious. "dad will tell us what is going on with the animal attacks when he gets back…"

"what happened to working on my car?" I asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"I was getting to that. Come on, grab what ever you want." Jacob said grabbing what looked like a shopping basket.

I rolled my eyes before grabbing a bag of crisps and a few cans of soda.

Once we got to the garage Jacob pulled of a few old comfy chairs with the help of my wand. They were huge recliners.

"You are really handy to have around you know." He said teasing as he pulled out a very collective tool box.

"I know I am. I can destroy anything and I can conjure anything." I said positively before flopping down in one of the chairs.

He took his shirt off and hung it from his back pocket. Dear Merlin… he was gorgeous. I muttered something before opening the bag of crisps and eyeing the wall next to me.

He rolled his eyes before grabbing an old skateboard that was propped up against the wall and going under my car.

To me it looked like he was literally taking it apart, but I trusted him.

Jacob talked for an hour or so before pulling out from under the car and whipping his hands off.

"Bella's almost here." He said walking back to the door of the garage and waited for her truck.

After a minute or so I heard it. The loud truck suddenly stopped and I knew she had parked.

"Bella! WERE IN THE GARAGE!" Jacob yelled before walking back to me. He smiled as he opened his can of Dr. Pepper.

I didn't have to ask what because Bella came limping into the garage a moment later dressed in a pair of old worn jeans and a Pheonix, Arizona shirt.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her clumsiness.

"Hey Bella." I said pulling the bag of crisps out of the other recliner.

"Hey Harry…" she muttered as she collapsed into the chair.

Jacob opened the hood of the car then and began dismembering from the top this time.

I ogled his upper body. I loved the way the russet skin was stretched over hard muscles beneath it. He was perfect.

Bella pulled a ball of string out of her purse and what looked like a pouch of beads.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Hemp…" she said concentrating on the length of the string- hemp. "Want one?" she asked looking at me out of the corner of her eyes to look at me.

"Sure…" I said rather unsure.

"It's just a necklace or a bracelet. It's not like it'll bite you, ya know." She said with a smile.

So as she adjusted the length of the hemp before braiding the top and started doing some kind of weird knotting thing, placing beads randomly. I took turns watching her hands and Jacob.

An hour or so later Jacob shot up so quickly from under the hood of the car he nearly clonked his head on the hood.

He wiped his hands on the shirt in his back pocket before taking a long swig of his Dr. Pepper.

His torso was drenched in slick sweat. He looked good enough to eat. While I was salivating I missed the two guys that walked into the garage.

"Hey Quil, Embory… you know Bella, and this is Harry." Jacob said with a lazy smile as he grabbed an Oreo from Bella's lap.

"Man it's quiet in here…" one of the guys said looking around.

"Yeah, I didn't feel the need for the radio with Harry here keeping me company." Jacob said sheepishly as he turned back to the car to place the hood down before walking to the work desk where he turned the radio on the same old country station that Bella had turned the other day. Something told me that it was all that played in this little town.

I smiled when I heard another song I recognized but didn't know the name of.

The same one who said it was quiet turned to me and eyed me up and down as if assessing me. I was powerless to the 'Bella blush' that attacked my face as I pulled the soda can to my mouth to take a sip.

"Name's Quil, Harry." He said after a moment extending his hand to me, as if he accepted whatever he saw in me.

I took it without hesitation, "Harry Potter. Glad to meet a friend of Jacob's." I added with a smile.

"The Harry Potter?" he asked his voice laced with awe.

"Yep. Wand and all." I said taking it out of my pocket. His eyes went big with wonder, like a kid seeing holiday lights for the first time of the season.

It got awkwardly silent as Bella worked on a new hemp thing.

"I know about the elephant in the room the two are you are trying to ignore and I don't care. Not really. I find it neat." She said not looking up from her hands.

I saw a look pass between Embory and Quil before they looked back a Jacob.

"I didn't tell…" he said as he sat on the work desk.

"I found out with this." She said nudging the fuzzy thing with her finger before going back to her knots.

"it's magic." I said with a wicked smile to the two guys.

"well we just came by to say that Sam is holding a meeting later. He told us to pass it on when we saw you. We'd stay but my mom wants us home for a while. She says she misses us." Embory said rolling his eyes.

I didn't know it but three sets of eyes turned to him with a harsh glare. Mine was being one of them. He flinched at the power of them.

"I guess that I'm lucky I got a mom to miss me." He said softly as he turned to Quil.

"Come on." He said softly before turning to Jacob. "See you later Jake." And with a nod to Bella and me they were gone.

When a loud howl came a few hours later Jacob smiled sadly at Bella and me as we got up to leave. It was getting late anyway.

So with a heavy heart I led the way out to the cars and was met by rain.

"Ew…" I heard Bella complain from behind me.

When we reached the shelter of the cars Bella rolled down her squeaky window and I followed her movement to be tossed something. It was a necklace and bracelet made out of hemp and black beads with little red flecks on them.

"THANKS!" I yelled over a rather loud clash of thunder.

With a smile she waved and made her way up the road. I sat for a moment before I saw a big russet colored wolf come out of the garage. Even as a wolf he was beautiful…

A/n this chapter is dedicated to all of you amazing readers…^.^

A sneak peak…

I could see questions in his eyes.

"How…" he started but shook his head. "What…" he tried again looking at me expectantly but seemed disappointed before demanding. "Explain."

"I don't really have to but since you seem so confused about it I will. I am a wizard and I went to Hogwarts. I know of your kind and of the wolves on the reservation. And I will not tell anyone what you are. Not even Bella, even though she knows of the wolves and me. That is something you must tell her." I said moving to walk away.

"Wait. Harry Potter correct?" I nodded and was shocked when he looked to my forehead. "Carlisle talks very highly of you. He knew Albus very well. I was in fact taught by Albus after I was turned."

"How long have you been?"

"Since 1918. I believe that Albus still had red hair then…" he said with a wistful smile before looking back at me with a hard face, "why cant I read your mind?"

"Occlumency. A magical mind barrier." I answered with a smile, it had taken me forever to get them up but once they were up the barriers to my mind stayed without much thought to them.

"Yes… I forgot about those…" he said with such… remorse that I had to laugh.
