Family First

by Lyz135

After learning about where a certain few of a family's loyalties lay, Harry and Hermione leave country with Luna and Neville. All of them being War Heroes. The family of ten go to Sirius Black's cousins house, Billy Black. A squib and a father to the Shapeshifter, Jacob Black. With a new family in town, things get hectic. The world they knew has just been enlarged. Incomplete.

2. Chapter 1

Chapter 1.)

The Burrow

It's never really a surprise when your "friends" betray you; but when your "family" does, it's like your heart is ripped out and stomped on. This is what our two War Heroes are feeling at this present moment. Let's start from the beginning shall we?

Flashback

It's lunch time here at the burrow, the families and their children have been brought to the home. Ginevra Potter with the twins, Lily Luna and James Sirius, and Harry's surrogate son, Edward Remus; Ronald Weasley with his daughter, Rose Lavender. Fluer and Bill Weasley with their daughter Victoire Gabrielle; Angelina and Fred Weasley with their twins, Andre Lee and Roxanne Serenity; Katie and George Weasley with their son Jacob Collin. It's one big family for Molly and Arthur. One that's supposed to be full with real, undeniable love and loyalty. But in reality there is none except the falsehood of it. Love and Loyalty potions, such an artificial way of living.

"KIDS! Go outside and play. While we have a discussion. Harry and Hermione will be home from work soon!" Molly shouted out into the house. The children knew not to ignore the demand so instantly went outside, their ages ranging from two years old to eleven years old.

You see Hermione now works right along side the Minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and that has her working all over the world with all the different Ministries. She's made a living out of her "famous" name, and using it to sway people to seeing things her way. While Harry, her best friend, works alongside Luna and Neville in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Harry and Neville being Head Auror and Auror, respectively; and Luna being the Head of the DMLE. It's been four years since the Final Battle, where Harry gave himself up willingly to save Hermione, from Bellatrix, and everyone else, from Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Where Neville's lion came to its surface, and Luna's dreaminess had disappeared. No more were they innocent little kids, but war hardened Adults-filled with a grieving hole in their chest for everyone who they lost in the wars. But back to present day, and the worst betrayal that has happened to Harry.

Fred and George were in the garage helping their father work on making the motorcycle "child-safe" for Harry, while Angelina and Katie were talking to Bill, Fleur, and Charlie, about Hermione's celebratory present. They all knew they didn't want anything to celebrate the horrors they went through, but it was their way of showing their appreciation. And inside the house, Molly, Ginevra and Ronald were having a whispered conversation about the "family" and we're putting in specific amounts of Love and Loyalty potions in the food.

"He doesn't even know mum. Like I've been finding him up late and picking fights for the last few days about it! He just doesn't care anymore.. I think he is thinking of leaving. He needs more of these!" Ginevra was whining to her mum. She was used to getting what she wanted from everyone, but not getting the attention from her husband had her whining all the time.

Her mum sighed, "You know we can't give him to much Ginevra. He's going to become immune to it!" She was nervous. That was their source of money. If he left, so did the money! "What should I do..?"

"Well we could always imper-" Ronald was starting to say before they heard the kitchen door slam open. They never knew what it was like to piss Harry Potter off. To see him look like the "Boy-Who-Lived-Vanquisher-Of-Voldemort-Lord-Potter-And-Youngest-Head-Auror-Ever!", scared them beyond sense. They were scared into place.

The Head Auror was now walking towards the food while the Minister's Pet walked outside to get the family and tell the kids to stay outside. They were happy the "Mudblood bitch" was putting her time to good use. But she interfered with their plans! They were furious, and she was going to hear it. Ron had asked her to keep Harry occupied for a little while after work. "Seems like Harry no longer wants to be carted and chaperoned." Ron thought while fearfully watching his "best friend" look angrily at his baby sister.

"Love and Loyalty potions?" He asked incredulously, as Hermione ran into the house after collecting their family. They looked shocked, at least the kids weren't here to watch this go down. "'Mione, where are the kids?"

"Oh Harry.. I had them stay down at the Quidditch Pitch. What were you saying about potions?" She was speaking as she always did, quickly and in one breathe. She was worried. "Was my love for Ron made up? All artificial? Our daughter was born from... Rape? I didn't consent to the dosage of Love Potion!"

The unknowing part of the family glanced between Hermione, Harry and the troubled trio, all thinking variations of "Bloody Hell! They messed up! Merlin save them from the wrath of these two.."

"Hermione. These three are knowingly drugging us, and everyone else at the table with love and loyalty. At least those who would fall apart from the family. Guess who the two most vulnerable to attacks are? Us. We treated them like family, gave them everything! And it's all so they can use us!" Harry stated so calmly, everyone knew he was pissed. It's that eerie kind of anger, the one that has a fire burning behind your colored orbs and magic crackling at your fingertips and alongside your fringe. He was so angry he could blow the house up with one push.

What does Molly do? She gives him that one little itty bity push over the line. "You ungrateful brat! We brought upon ourselves a lot of grieving by bringing you into this family! Just as ungrateful as your father and your Mudblood of a mother too!" Arthur looked outraged. To think that he lived in a house with someone or a couple someones who didn't like muggles as they lead him to believe, nearly broke his heart.

"MOLLY BRIANNA WEASLEY! How dare you speak of the dead so horribly?! Our son should look down upon you with shame! But knowing the goodness in his heart, he'll be upset, but understand." Arthur, acting as head of house, just enacted the Shame Act on a family member of the house. It was powerful, and made her think of everything shameful she did. "Mr. Potter, please accept my apologies on behalf of these three in the family. If you wish, I will allow a questioning under Veritaserum, or a legilimancy to get answers you may need."

Hermione had turned her attention towards Ron, and while Harry had accepted the menial task of figuring it out through legilimancy, it was Hermione who was the natural Legilimens. While inside his mind she learned many things. Good and bad. But what really irked her was that he didn't even love their child together! He used Harry for his money and her for the "fun". He was secretly best friends with the Ferret, Draco Malfoy. The pure-blood elitist! Before Ginevra could attempt to bring her barriers up, Hermione ripped into her memories so ferociously that her barriers were shredded and and her thoughts were destroyed afterward. She'd end up right beside Alice and Frank Longbottom. Mentally incapacitated, and there will be no cure for her. She didn't know, in the beginning, that her family was using her to get to Harry and his money; but when she found out, she didn't put an end to it, she just carried out the charade. Last but not least, she lithely pushed into Molly's mind, going unnoticed and scanned everything! The devious fucking bitch! She destroyed their lives. Made Harry's mind go slightly mushy. And had her son practically rape Hermione, after everything Hermione had already gone through! But this wasn't the time nor place to think about that!

Now it was Hermione's turn to look the part of a War Heroine instead of the "sweet best friend of Harry Potter". She turned towards Arthur and Harry, indicating she wanted to speak to them, and them alone. So they took a step outside. Far enough so nobody in the house could here, but close enough to keep an eye on them. "Arthur. As Head of Minor House Weasley, I ask you to enact the Termination Act. I want the house to see the divorce. Seeing as no one was made privy to the information. Harry, as Head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House Potter, I suggest you do the same to Ginevra Molly Potter. They have been scheming against you since Ginevra was born, and me since I became your best friend on Halloween."

Arthur nodded his consent and then spoke his House's Termination Act, "I, Arthur Weasley, Head of Minor House Weasley, hereby terminate your Marriage to my son, Ronald Bilius Weasley. You must take your Daughter with you, seeing as she is not a heir, to the next Head. So I say it, So mote it be!" Hermione's wedding band had liquidated and fell from her finger.

Her eyes widened as she suddenly started puking up the excess potions from her system. "Is that what will happen to me? Once this happens." Harry whispers with a slightly disgusted tone. She shrugged her shoulders and cleaned herself up. Harry soon said his termination act, keeping his children and purging his own system of the artificial love and loyalty.

"It's time to collect your children and go now. Lord Potter you will always be welcome in my family. I suggest you make Hermione a Vassal of your house. She needn't do anything. It's just for her protection." Arthur turned on his heel and walked into his household. Hellbent on setting his wife and two youngest back on track. And he did just that, with the Head of House arresting them to their birth home, the Burrow.

Hermione and Harry went to the home made Quidditch pitch and called for the four children. "Rose!" "Lily! James! Teddy!" When the children came to their respective parents, Teddy grabbed hold of Lily and James' hands and looked at his godfather, and godmother. "We are going to Grimmauld Place. You too, 'Mione. Grab a hold of my arms you five."

Grimmauld Place- Old Headquarters

After they arrived at the old Headquarters, Harry immediately took everyone upstairs. And set Lily and Rose into the room that Ginny and Hermione once shared, and James and Teddy into his and Ron's old room. "We'll call you down for dinner in a few hours. Don't leave this room." Harry said sternly before closing their bedroom doors.

"Harry what'll we do?" Hermione whimpered as she followed him upstairs. To where Sirius' and Regulus' rooms were. When Harry pointed to Regulus' door, "No Harry! I can't."

"Regulus is no longer of this earth, so you will. Besides, I need you to come up with a spell so we can keep all of the Black and Potter library inside our brains. And where to start, except in their rooms. Research project, 'Mione. Knock yourself out." He says chuckling. He pushes her to the door before heading over to Sirius' room.

As he opened the door, he was suddenly hit with the crippling pain always associated with the loss of his dogfather-an inside joke between the Order of the Phoenix, seeing as Sirius was also known as Padfoot, a grim-like dog. A sob left his mouth and he collapsed to his knees. This was his first time being back after the war, and its effects were so crippling. "So many deaths.. So many losses.. My true family are all gone.." He didn't hear Hermione walk up behind him, or kneel beside him, nor did he feel her pull him to her. What he did remember was Hermione holding as he sobbed, and watching her silently cry with him. "I wasn't the only one hurt when he died.. Hermione loved him.. In a different way than I did." He pulled her into his lap and cried. He cried for his loss and he cried for her loss, he cried because his children will never know his parents or grandparents, he cried because 'Mione couldn't fix her parents memories, he cried for Rose's loss of grandparents, he cried because Teddy never knew his parents, he cried because the children missed the best pranks the world had to offer-from Nymph and Remy, and Siri. They will always miss it.. Never knowing what life used to be like, and it had him grieving all over again.

"Oh Harry.. It'll get better. We should start searching for things, we may need-or find interesting. Then maybe we can leave the country. Go to the states? I have a cousin there. We need to get things settled though. You need to go to Gringotts, and I need to find or make that spell you asked for." Hermione was rambling, and she now had that look in her eyes that could only mean she was determined. Harry nodded and slowly stood back up, helping her to a standing position. "You'll be okay, right? I'm headed to Gringotts now. Then you can. I'll be back." She then turned towards the fire place and stepped inside it, throwing down some of the powder.

Harry stood there, he was in shock. They had a semi-formulated plan to start all over with their children. That's the best thing he could ask for. He walked over to the desk and started to pull rolled parchments out of the drawers. He was curious, so he opened the first one.

Dear Harry,

Right now, if you are reading this, I likely died. I hope I died the way I always wanted to. With a laugh on my face, and fighting for my friends and family. You are not James, and I know that. When I first saw you, I saw him though. Lily would be so proud of you, and James would be smiling down on his brilliant child, and heir.

That's an important word there. Heir. It's the first born son, or last living child. I hope you have plenty of children Prongslet. You are the Heir Presumptive of The Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter, as well as the Heir Presumptive of The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. Now this means you are now the richest man on the planet. My dear boy.. My godson, my child. I will never be able to fill the gap left with your parents' death, but I tried my best to fill any other place. Did I do my best, with the ever interfering Weasley Trio? Yes. There was only so much I could do. They had me under the Secrecy Vow, so I couldn't tell my son, and Mya. Please tell Mya I did love her.. I wish it was enough to break the vow..

Now. If I'm dead and you are reading this, that means you survived the war. That Voldemort is dead. And that you are finally stepping foot back into Headquarters. It probably tore your heart open with the grief you were never allowed to show. Never hide it from Mya. She loves you like a brother. Wherever you go, she'll follow.

You both probably have children. I only hope they know of me. In any way shape and form. I hope you told them the truths. I hope Remy survived, along with Nymphadora. I hope they have a family now as well. Another thing you need to know Harry. I have family in the states. The Quileutes. They are Shapeshifters. They are born with magic in their blood. It's just a different kind of magic. I believe Mya once said she had family in Forks, Washington. And uncle and cousin. They live right beside the Reservation there.

I believe it would be best for you, if you got into contact with my Cousin. William Black, he goes by Billy. And he is the Quileutes Tribe Chief. Ask him for permission to lay claim to the Black farm house there. It's so you two can heal, if you ever found out the secrets of the Weasley Trio. Do not fret, there is enough time to get yourselves sorted. And enough room for your children. He will love you Harry, as well as Mya. Please take care of my true love. Please make sure she no longer hurts. I beg you.

There is a letter below this parchment, for Mya. And one in an envelop. Please give Mya hers, and send my Hawk Owl, Circe, to Billy with the other.

With all my love,

Lord Sirius Orion Black

Aka Padfoot

Reading the letter made Harry silently start crying. But he pushed his letter off, and quickly found the two letters he was talking about. He picked them up, wiped his face clear of tears, and walked down the stairs. He opened the doors to the children's rooms. "Hey daddy, where's momma?" Lily asked. She was the spitting image of his mother, while James was the spitting image of his father. They were gorgeous children and they were his. "Flower, momma and Uncle Ron will no longer be part of our family," He said quietly, "you may write to them but they will not be around us, until I consent it darling. Dinner will be done in an hour. James, Teddy. Clean up the rooms. Rose, Lily. Go clean up."

As the kids moved to follow instructions he walked down the stairs into the kitchen. The kitchen looked as good as new, so that meant Kreacher knew they were in the house. "Kreacher! Cook up a simple dinner for six!" Making sure he was following that order and walking over to the window, he opened it, "Circe!" The magnificent bird flew down and rested on the sill. "Take this to Billy Black. And wait for a response." The bird hooted nipped his finger and then took flight towards the Atlantic Ocean.

The fire place lit up green and Hermione walked through the flames, her hair wind blown as if she ran to the fireplace. When she took a seat at the table she was muttering about stupid redheads and closing her banking account. Without asking what was wrong, he handed her the letter and pointed up the stairs. She took one look at the handwriting and sprinted up the steps. "Rose! Lily! James! Teddy! Dinner is almost ready! Come down here!" It was a stampede, and thankfully Kreacher already took down Walburgha Black. "Kreacher put it on the table. And then go clean the house." As Harry and the children were sitting down eating, and Kreacher was cleaning the house, Hermione was up in Regulus' room hugging a pillow to her chest as she read the letter written by Sirius.

My sweet love,

Mya.. My sweet, beautiful soul mate. My stubborn, bookworm. Don't block off how you are feeling. If I know the death eaters in my family, they tortured you, to get information on me. I'm sorry love.. I'm so sorry. Harry needs you. And you need him. Don't push him away.

You probably have a kid or kids. I do not fault you on that. I just hope they are not fathered by Ronald Weasley. Same as I hope Harry's brood isn't mothered by Ginevra Weasley.

I love you. I always will, Mya. But you need to move on. You need to grieve and be the best parent and sister you could be. I'm not saying forget me. Because that is impossible. I'm saying move out of the country. I'm saying start over. My beautiful Gryffindor. Be brave. Fall in love again. And learn to love with all your heart again.

Harry has already sent a letter to my cousin, William. Do you remember us talking about our family in the States? They live near each other. Your uncle and cousin. And my cousins. You guys will stay on the border of La Push and Forks. In the old Black Farm House. It's big enough for you both and it is also not known to the wizarding populace. Don't forget. They have their own blood magic, they're Shapeshifters.

I will forever love you, Mya. And they will love you too. You are meant to do so much good. So please. Do everything that your instincts tell you too. Trust me, Mya. Nothing, except your constant state of grieving, will make my soul uneasy.

My soul mate that was stolen from me by potions.. By artificial means. And I could do nothing but watch due to the Secrecy Vow. Now I know what it's like to know your soul mate but never act upon it. I'm so sorry beautiful. I regret it. I regret finding out and agreeing to the vow.

Now.. Smile. Go and eat. Search the library and take what you need. It's all yours and Harry's.

Goodbye my sweet love,

Lord Sirius Orion Black

Aka Padfoot

Her heart broke more than she thought possible. The pain of losing her soul mate and the forced relationship with Ronald finally pushing its way forward, and she screamed into the pillow. Rocking forward and backward, she curled around the pillow, and fell asleep hours later. Letter still in hand and tear streaks down her cheeks, is how Harry found her later that night. The sight of his best friend like that, shattered what was left of his heart. After seeing that he climbed into bed and fell asleep holding his sister close to him. They both needed it. The house was sure to destroy what little progress they started, in the moving on past the loss.

The Cullen Manor

It was silent. Isabella was an extraordinary newborn. But her personality changed, horribly. She used to be sweet and generous and looked so cheerful. Now. Now she's worse than Rosalie. It was like an automatic switch. When Isabella woke up, she was so demanding. She wanted nothing to do with the child she birthed. But Edward loved his little miracle. Loved seeing her beauty, and seeing what her mother used to be. Rosalie filled that gap that Isabella left wide open. She had instantly demanded on being called Isa instead of Bella, told her best friend that she wanted nothing to do with him and her daughter, and also told Edward she no longer wanted to be apart of the "Cullen" Family. She wanted his human last name. And so he gave both his beautiful women his last name. This was eleven years ago.

"Renesmee and Jacob will be here with their children, Isa."

"I don't care Edward. Her and those terrors can stay away for all I care!" Isa turned her face towards the window, facing the woods, with a disdainful look on her face. This has been her attitude since Renesmee got all the attention from everyone in the house hold. Edward shook his head at his family's thoughts about his mate and her reactions to her child.

"Avianna is going to be wearing something from the new wardrobe I bought her!" Alice came sprinting into the room with Rosalie on her trail. They were both beaming with happy thoughts to go along with it. They were upset that they could no longer bear children, but were content with the half-immortal children that keep popping up in the family. "EJ and Sarabella are going to run in and dog pile on top of Emmett! Esme and Carlisle get the cameras ready!" She was bouncing in spot. Watching as Emmett whipped into the room and got tackled to the ground by Sarabella and jumped onto by EJ.

You could hear Rosalie's tinkling laugh as she watched the children and her husband. You could feel the love radiating, which means that Jasper is projecting the love. To everyone. But Isa has his gift blocked at all times. At least from his projection. He still felt her emotions. And right now he was calling her a "stupid bitch." While thinking, "if I had the chance to give my mate children, and we had 'em, I would cherish 'em. Not hate 'em!" Before he whirled towards his wife and held her to him. He must have sensed an emotion coming from her and immediately went to her.

We spent the day, with the Olympian Coven. Jacob and EJ were play fighting in their wolf forms, while Renesmee and Avianna were talking fashion with Alice, and Sarabella was learning to play the piano whilst reading a medical book. No body was expecting the owl to stoop in low towards Isa. But it seemed Isa was interested in it. But not to feed, just to grab the parchment it held. "Rocco what does Mio want?" She said absently whilst stroking his feathers. The family watched in shock. They were all thinking, "Who the fuck is Mio? And why is she so emotional about her?" This was the first time since her change that she was showing any care or emotion towards someone other than Edward.

Dear Izzy,

I know it's been eighteen years since we've talked.. This war I've been going through has been eventful. They were tracking down every relative I had, and killing them. I erased Mum and Dad's memories of me.. I can't restore their memories. They don't remember me. I ignored the owl posts from you and Uncle Charlie to protect you guys. I remember eleven years ago, you told me you were dating a vampire. Vampires don't date humans unless they are mated to said human. So if this got to you, I am in the believe you are a vampire. And therefore still in the land of the living.

I'm writing to you now. Four years after the war ended because I've been needing the time to heal. You see.. I lost my soul mate in this war... And I was raped and tortured. And then when it finally ended.. I had a trio from the family I thought was truly my family, and friends, give me love and loyalty potions. I have a daughter, Rose Lavender. She was a child through an artificial relationship-does this mean she was born from rape..? You'll meet her soon. Along with my best friend Harry and his twins, Lily Luna and James Sirius, and surrogate son, Edward Remus(Teddy).

Going back into the reason I'm writing, we are vacationing on the borderline of La Push and Forks in a few months to a year. We just have to get things sorted out. You see, we just went back to Headquarters; which is my soul mate's old house.. Harry was his Godson and he inherited everything... It's hard being here. It's like a wound that was healing being ripped wide open just by looking at his name.

He knew he was going to die, Izzy! He wrote a letter to me, Harry, and his cousin, William Black. The Chief of the Quileutes Tribe. I don't know what was in the other two letters.. But to me? He told me to never change.. To never let the loss and grief change me. To be brave and love again. To open up about what happened.. To move on from him. From my soul mate. It's difficult seeing someone in his place, but maybe that is because I haven't healed from his death just yet.

Izzy.. I need my cousin. My best friend. I don't need the demanding, unwanted person you have surely become. I need you to comfort me.. When I get there. You are literally going to be my back bone through this all.

To do a three sixty on everyone you know.. It destroys what image they have of you. I know this because I've done it multiple times. Especially when my 'home' was in a constant state of war for fourteen years. Please open up your heart to the wonderful family who had welcomed you from the start.. Because your betrayal, though it may not seem, has scarred them for all eternity. And you have lost so much respect for it.

Of course that is if you have become the complete opposite of who you once were. If you are exactly the same, ignore that bit for now, and think about the lives you can save with your supernatural abilities. For I don't doubt you have at least one.

See you soon Izzy.

Forever,

Mio

The coven watched in shock as Isa instantly dropped the parchment turned to the bird, and pointed at it. "What the hell has Mio been through?" Her glare even made the bird shutter. She glared at Edward as he moved towards her and he stopped moving, instantly going near Renesmee. She looks down for a moment, picked up the letter. "Mio is hurt.. She's hurting... And I'm acting so stupid and superior!" She spun around and looked at the bird flying away. "One day soon, Mio. I promise to be there." The group watched as she crumpled into herself and sobbed tearless cries.

Renesmee pushed her father and husband out of the way, whilst walking towards her mom. She placed her hand on her mother's forearm and relayed the scene she just witnessed. And then showed the parchment still in her hand. "Can I read it to the family mom? Do you need comfort from dad? Can I.. I comfort you momma?" Ida looked at her with venom-pooled eyes. "Come here, daughter. I'm so sorry. You may read it, whilst I play with your hair." Everyone's eyes widened as they watched this scene play out. They watched as Renesmee grabbed the paper, and melodically read it out. Everyone felt a sorrow so deep in their bones.. It's a different heart break to watch strangers die, than it is to hear your soul mate die. Little did they know, Hermione watched it happen. She heard, watched, and felt it happen. And it almost destroyed her.

"Grandma? Who is Mio? And what war is she talking about? Mum sounds British.. But there are no wars in Britain." EJ spat out, just like his grandmother's cousin-In one breath, and quickly. It was a sure way to see that he was worried. She looked at him. He was just like Jacob, but with Green eyes and curly black hair; Sarabella looked like a perfect mixture of her two parents, though she had bright blue eyes and copper straight hair. Avianna on the other hand, looked like Renesmee and Hermione, with bushy, curly hair that was a mix of Copper, gold, and black and an odd color mixture in her eyes-they were Chocolate and Chestnut brown, with Green and Golden specks. They were all beautiful thanks to the Indian and Vampire traits they had in their system.

"My daughter, and grandchildren. She is your cousin of course! Though technically she is my cousin as well. Her name is Hermione Granger. And well.. You see. She was in a magical war. She is a witch, went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And the war ended four years ago." That sent everyone on edge. A magical war, they knew nothing about?! How could that be possible?

"Isa? Why haven't we heard of her before?" Edward was not liking that his wife didn't tell him this before hand.

"Edward, it isn't my place. You heard in the letter. She stopped sending letters after third year!" She looked at him, "My cousin will be pissed off, when she learns you all know. Though I guess she knew I'd tell you guys. Fuck! My cousin was tortured. And she talked about it like it was nothing!" She looked ready to cry again but she shook it off. "Jasper! You know a great deal about war. Help me out. What is she going through..?"

Jasper looked at her, determining if he should help her. When he was finished reading her emotions, he looked at her, "I'll speak to Peter and Charlotte when they get home from huntin'. Maybe y'all should go huntin'. I'm sure there will be more owls comin' by and you don't wanna feed on 'em. Take the kids. Get to know 'em. They're family, after all." With that piece said he pulled Alice from the room and went upstairs, as they heard Jacob and EJ phase, and the rest of the "little" family follow them into woods.

Black household-Elders Headquarters

It was sunrise, and a Sunday. That meant that Billy Black was sleeping in. At least that's what he thought, until he heard it.

Tap.

Tap. Tap.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

He rolled over and pulled himself into his wheelchair, before wheeling himself over to the Circe's window. It's been eighteen years since he has seen this bird. Eighteen years since he heard from his pen pal, his cousin Sirius. He let the bird in, gave him some water and rare meat, and then rolled himself out into the kitchen.

There he set the letter on the table, and prepared a cup of coffee and a bagel for himself. Before he finally moved back to the table. He wasn't looking forward to this letter. He didn't like the sense of foreboding he was getting. "Maybe I should call the elders? Sue and Quil will like to know what my cousin has to say." With that thought he wheeled over to his phone, and dialed Sue's number and then Quil's inviting them both over.

A half hour later both were sitting at the kitchen table with him, and looking at the letter that was sitting on the table. "Billy. You said it might contain important information? Open it up will ya. The suspense sucks. Especially for us up in age!" Quil said the last part jokingly.

"Yeah Billy. We need to hurry this impromptu meeting up. I've got a shift at the diner and I need to make sure Leah and Seth are doing better today. Seth is feeling separation anxiety from Avianna. And Leah well. She's being her usual bitchy self." Sue said a bit impatiently.

Billy chuckled at his two friends and fellow elders. "Ok. Ok. I'm opening it.

William Black.

I'm so sorry cousin. I know I told you I'd come visit you when the war was over. Thing is, if you got this letter. I was killed. I hope I went out with a laugh on my face, and protecting my family.

So see. I've got this girl. She's my soul mate. Her name is Mya. She's beyond beautiful. At least to me she is. She has these gorgeous chestnut brown doe eyes, with pink puffy lips. Such a fiery temper too, when you mess with her friends and family, as well as her personal belongings. Thing is.. I can't start anything with her. Yes. She's of age to consent to marriage in the magical world, but the Weasley trio I told you about, has me in a Secrecy Vow about keeping their nasty secrets from Mya, and my godson, Harry. And an Unbreakable Vow that states I will never get in between their shenanigans. I can tell you, because in their eyes, you aren't magical. You're a halfbreed like Remus, my Werewolf best friend. And my cousin Nymphadora, because she's a Metamorphmagus.

Now. Seeing as you are reading this, my godson has finally returned to Headquarters. That means he found their letters. Billy I beg you to open up Black Farm House for them. They may have children and other things. Make sure the pack knows about them. And not to push. They survived a war. They will not hesitate to destroy someone. Please.. Take care of my Mya. And if a wolf imprints on her, let her know it's okay to fall in love again. It's okay to take it at her own pace. She's stubborn and will likely try hiding away, until Harry drags her arse outside.

From what I've seen.. It's only the beginning of the war. And depending on when you got this letter, they may have taken some time to heal before stepping into headquarters. I don't know what they went through, but the healing process could take a long time. And that's if they talk to someone or keep it bottled up. Don't force them to talk. If they talk, it's cause they think it's right.

Please love them like your own. Harry has lost everyone. His mum and Dad. His godfather. His honorary uncle. His second family. He's probably not very trusting at the moment. Give him TIME. He loves with every fiber, and trusts with every fiber. Give him time. And that will be what he has for you. Mya. She's strong willed. But if Harry loves and trusts you people. She will. She trusts his judgement.

She was probably severely tortured, maybe even damaged.. When the war was at its peak until it ended. She won't trust easily. Harry trusts easier than she does. She is going to need to be cared for. Please.. I beg you! Take care of her.. And Harry. They were once just children. Now they must be war-hardened adults.

Be warned. I love you. They shall be there soon. In a few months to a year. They just need to get their affairs together. Write to them. Circe will await your response.

Even in death watching out for my loved ones,

Lord Sirius Orion Black

Aka Padfoot"

"The war seems to have been horrible if we are just getting this letter. Do you need the pack?" Sue asked.

"Send them to my house. I'm the only one who can see the Farm House." Billy nodded. "Quil. You must go keep an eye out, from the watch tower."

Billy watched as Sue ran outside started the car and pulled out of the driveway, most likely headed to Sam and Emily's. "Quil. Call the Cullen's. Thy need to know. Mya is Isabella's cousin."

Quil nodded and quickly left. "Oh Sirius.. You left your soulmate, and godson, behind in a war. They are probably emotionally and physically damaged. Damn it!"

He quickly wheeled himself over to the warded drawer, that Sirius had set up whilst on the run, and pulled out the parchment and an ink well and quill.

Dear Harry.

My apologies for writing this letter so informal. I have belief that you are now Head of House Black. But it is almost like I already know you, in a way.

My cousin has asked me to get the Farm House set up for you, and Mya. Tell Mya she is always welcomed here, as are you. Now. I need some information.

Children? If so how many? How long are you planning on staying in Forks, Washington, USA? Do you know the latest fashions? If not. We can always get our allies, the Golden Eyed Cullen's, to take you and your family shopping. They are Vegetarian Vampires, and Mya's cousin has recently joined the coven, well that was about 11 years ago.

Another thing is , we may not be closely related, Harry, but you are still a blood relative. Meaning you have the gene to shift. Do not fret if you or your children do, I beg you. The pack will know who you are, like everyone else in the magical world, but they know not to mention your names out in the magical world.

May this slight vacation be what you need to heal from the atrocities of war, and may you both find a love that is indescribable and irrevocably true.

It will be an honor to welcome you to into my reservation with open arms. Just let me know when you will get to my side of the pond.

Sincerely,

William Black

Billy knew it could take take two weeks to two months for Circe to get back to Grimmauld Place. And there for allow the family there to read and accept his invite. He could feel it in his bones, that these next few months and the coming years were going to be interesting with these two magicals and their family moving in.

As the phone started ringing Billy went to answer it, as he watched Circe fly away with the parchment.

"Hello. This is William Black speaking."

"Mr. Black. This is Carlisle. Quil just called. We understand that Mya and her 'family' are magicals. And that they are returning. We received our own post from her."

"Yes Carlisle. It seems we need to make more adjustments in the treaty. Family and all. Is Jacob there? Tell him and EJ they are needed. Renesmee and the other two can stay with the family."

"Jacob and EJ are on their way now. I will see you when the magicals get here, to talk about the treaty. Have a good day, Billy."

After that was said the line was disconnected and the sounds of howls filled the air. Jake and EJ calling their packs. There have been more female shifters as of late, and it has given Leah hope. Hope that she isn't a freak. Hope that she can imprint. Hope that she can finally move on. It was good to see.
