A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I ran out of data on my phone, and I barely get wifi connections at my house. So when I update, it is going to be sporadic. But I hope you enjoy. Btw, I would love if you guys would help me out with somethings. I need Native American names for Quileutes. I know they aren't used in the books, but I want some female shifters and a few more male shifters. So if you have ideas. Let me know. PM me, or write a review. Due to issues, it would be better with reviews. For new shifter ideas I need: name, age they shifted, age they are, fur color, pack rank, alpha(Jacob, Sam, EJ, Leah). Leah is an alpha due to more females shifting. But she still defers to Sam and Jake. Same as EJ, there are too many new wolves for Sam and Jake to watch over by themselves, but EJ defers to his higher ups. Jake is rightful Alpha, while Sam is Alpha by choice. They work together. Leah is Jake's Beta. Paul is Sam's. If you want to help out, that's all that's needed. Thank you guys for the reviews, follows, favorites, and viewers.
Chapter 3.)
Grimmauld Place- Headquarters
It's been half a year since the last letter they sent out. Meaning it's been nine months since the families learned of the betrayal, nine months of struggling to get their lives together without their significant other, and for the children to cope with the knowledge that part of their life will forever be separated. The Weasley Trio had lost all trust from their entire family. Arthur quit his job to make sure they stayed in the house, while his children scattered. Bill and his family went to France, Fred and George's families moved to Germany, and Charlie had moved back to the Dragon Reserves in Romania. But that isn't all that important at the moment. The important thing is that they were leaving it all behind. The bad news is? That the Prophet had caught wind of their movements.
Dailey Prophet, August 22, 2012
Written by: Rita Skeeter
It's come to the Ministry's focus, that the Famed Potter and Weasley families have broken apart. The famous 'Golden Trio' has broken apart as well. Nine months ago, Ginevra Molly, Molly Brianna, and Ronald Bilius were all caught in the act of poisoning two-thirds of the Trio. Harry Potter and Hermione Weasley (nee Granger), have formally left the Weasley's to fend for themselves and are planning to retreat, taking their children with them.
A retreat, you ask? It's exactly that. Our war hero and heroine are tired of how they are being treated. They do not want the fame to get to their children's head, like some people from a certain family. They want to be seen as human beings, not invincible gods and goddesses. They're not! And they know it. Where are they going? Well. No body knows for sure. Just out of the country.
Maybe they are going across the pond, to our sister country? Maybe they are going to a secluded island only they know about? Maybe it's all just a ruse to make people stop hounding them. What ever it is. They are leaving this country. Leaving their home, because of us. Because of our people. We are pushing them away!
Lord Potter-Black and Ms. Granger. I speak on behalf of myself only, for speaking slanders and rumors since your years at Hogwarts. I should have known that you were speaking truths. I should have done my job properly. And for not doing so, I formally apologize. I deserved being locked in an Unbreakable jar, for spying on you guys in your fourth year.
Thank you both, and your true friends, for saving us. Thank you for teaching us valuable lessons. Thank you, for risking your lives, and the lives of your children, to protect the lives of the many.
Until next time.

Harry was gaping at the front cover in awe, as was everyone in his household-and around Britain and Scotland. "She didn't..? This couldn't be-"
Luna gracefully glided out of the fireplace into a chair, holding her rounded baby bump, giggling as Neville landed head over arse. "You seem flabbergasted Harry. Surely you know you can't keep secrets, when you're so well known here."
She had dropped her dreamy persona for that of her war-hardened one. People finally started taking her seriously, and she looked much better without "acting like a loon". She was six months pregnant and was very different to how she used to be. Now? She was just as smart as Merlin. Along with all the knowledge they had gained, they had also learned how to break the bonds placed on anyone's magic. Including themselves, and their children. There were plenty on the children, and while Neville was holding 'Mione and Harry back with a shield -to prevent them from going and attacking the Weasley's, Luna removed every block she found on them. Therefore increasing theirs powers. They may have been cheating by giving the children everything they knew through the spells and runes, they felt it was better for them to have some form of protection.
But back to the present, "Hush, you. How's Alice Amelya?" He walked over to her chair, helping Neville up on the same motion before bending down to greet his goddaughter.
"She's an active one today. How are we getting to our new home? Muggle? Flight? Floo? Portkey? Or apparition?" Luna looked quite queasy at the mention of muggle, or even broom, flight. So it was unanimously chosen that Portkey would be for the best, with the baby and children joining them.
"Well we will leave after we've eaten a healthy breakfast. Teddy, James! No prancing the girls, get down here! Lily, Rose! Be careful opening the door, and hurry down here!" There was a stampede rushing down the stairs, and once again the ex-Order members were glad that Lady Black's portrait was finally removed.
"DAD! James changed all my clothes pink!" "MOM! Edward destroyed my wardrobe! It's orange!" The girls walked into the kitchen, and glared at the boys. The parents and their guests were trying not to laugh, because the boys didn't just change their clothes.
"Flowers. Go look in the mirror real quick." Harry muttered praying for the silence to remain.
That silence was destroyed instantly when the girls' shrieks were heard from their bedroom. The adults looked at each other and promptly started to laugh, quieting down as the girls' walked back in. Their eyes were glowing and their hands had light for in in them as they glared at the boys.
"James Potter!" "Edward Lupin" they growled out calmly. "How do you growl calmly?!" The boys looked at each other and attempted to bolt out of the blocked doorway, only to be found wearing pink tutus and long blonde hair. The adults were back to guffawing now.
They all sat down to enjoy their breakfast while Harry explained things to them. "We are going to have Portkey Lag. So when we get there, take a sleeping draught. You should sleep until Late morning, and then we will set up the household. It will be early evening there, so no snappy attitudes. Got it? Get there, transfigured beds, drink potion, fall asleep, wake up, unpack, set up, get to know family. Be happy."
He looked at his "family" and smiled. His girls. His sisters. His boys. His brother. They looked out for each other. They kept each other grounded. And now? They are welcoming others into their tight circle. "I think we should tell them. I mean our stories. All of them. They know who we are. But they don't know us. As people."
The others looked at Harry in shock for they didn't think about that, but he still didn't realize he said it out loud. He was still thinking about he trusting people who were taking them in. "Harry.. Are you sure you want to tell them..? I mean it scarred our children. For eleven years now. While we dealt with it for 18-31 years. It's a joint choice, yes. But it's mainly your story." Hermione said being the logical thinker.
Luna grabbed hold of Harry's hand then looked at Neville. Thinking of something. "Harry, I'm in full agreement, but I have a favor. May we bring Alice and Frank, to the Farm House. I can get a personal Mind Healer and a Muggle Doctor to help."
Harry glanced at Hermione, smiled slightly, and then looked at Neville who looked pale, maybe even frightened. "We'll bring them, Nev. We owe it to them, to at least try. Go sign them out and bring them here. Hurry." With that Neville was in the fire placing whooshing away to St. Mungo's Hospital.
As the kids watched the adults pack the remaining items, shrinking beds and furniture and summoning and shrinking books and placing them in trunks, they were actually hopeful for this new beginning. The kids helped the parents out by packing their finest wizarding clothes and wearing what they were told to wear(jeans and a top). They were told that they would need to get used to wearing muggle clothes because that was what their new community was-Muggles.
As they finally sat down to wait for the Longbottoms, the clock chimed noon and the fire place lit up. And out came three bodies tumbling. "Nev!" Hermione said giggling. "The Floo network hates you as bad as it does Harry!" While Lina and Harry were helping Alice and Frank to the chairs.
"Lily and Rose, you guys stay beside Alice. Teddy and James, stay beside Frank. Neville between them Rose and Teddy. Luna, between me and 'Mione. Hold onto the rope." Harry instructed everyone. Making sure Alice and Frank were holding onto it, tightly. "One... Two.. Three. Family Comes First!"
And the horrible feeling that comes with local Portkeys was worse with international Portkeys. As they landed with a loud- thump! On the ground, they looked up to see a small cottage.
Lily and Alice were under Teddy and James. Frank and Neville ended up with their faces in the dirt. Harry was laying on his back, breathless after being dropped to the earth so fast- "Stupid gravity!" Whilst Hermione was on her knees glaring at the rope, like it was its fault she had lost her grace. The only one still standing was a very pregnant, very amused 29 year old woman. "Luna. How the bloody hell did you stay standing!" Hermione grumbled as she stumbled to her feet, slightly dizzy from the landing.
Black Cottage-Elder's Headquarters
The headquarters was filled with vampires, wolves, elders and imprints. It was a meeting to continue an alliance they had started to make with the new comers, their new magical new comers. Ones that had family in both groups of magical beings. "Carlisle! My vision went blurry!"
"Mio is coming!" Isa immediately stood up from her place, beaming. And looking towards the window.
"Well at least we know when they-" Paul was cut off by a loud cracking noise and multiple thumps to the ground outside. "What the fuck was that?!"
"Luna. How the bloody hell did you stay standing!" Paul heard the sweetest voice imaginable, and he immediately shook his head before heading to the door.
It seemed that his movement had stirred something in the frozen vampires and shocked wolves, while the humans were looking at them curiously. As one they all ran towards the doors. Though Billy let them run ahead of him, so he could maneuver his wheel chair.
The sight that met them was one they wouldn't ever forget, let alone not use as blackmail. There was an ethereal pregnant blond standing behind a pile of bodies. While a girl was on her knees looking sick.
At a closer look, the sick female had scars similar to Emily's, and even worse. The blonde, she was just as scarred. These women, were the war Heroines. As they watched, a young man with dark brown hair, and multiple burn scars along his arms and right side of his face stood up and walked to the blonde. "Love, you're good right? No ill side affects. Maybe you should sit down." He was fretting over her. It was adorable, at least until they saw her glare. He raised his hands "alright. How about we free, Lily Luna, before mother crushes her."
That's when they saw a girl struggling to get someone off her. "Uncle Neville! I swear on god I will castrate your arse if you don't get Aunt Alice of me. NOW!" They jumped at the screech and cackled as the girl immediately jumped up, after being freed of her burden. She was 5' with fiery-red hair, and pale skin, and what looked like green eyes. She was glaring before she kicked teddy awake. "Get up arsehole. The fall wasn't that bad. JAMES! Fix my outfit now!" They saw a brown haired kid chuckle to himself. Before he shook his head and ran behind the pregnant blonde.
They heard a grumble and looked at the ground, where a tall black haired man was just waking up. "Bloody hell. What did I get myself into this time? Stop yelling now Lily! James stop being a prat to your sister!" The two kids stopped bickering as they turned to stare at him wide eyed.
"Daddy!" "Dad!" Lily and James ran at the guy as he was lifting himself up. He caught them each in a separate arm. They both smirked and said, "you're okay!"
He groaned. "Not with you two. I'm going to go insane! Go help Teddy up now." He continued getting up. They finally caught how tall he was, he was 6'7", and how muscular his body frame was. "Frank. Alice. Are you two okay?" He said this slowly, as if they wouldn't understand him otherwise. When he got no reaction except a blank stare, he nodded.
"Which one of you burly men are Billy Black?" He eyed us. And seemed to stand up taller and an air of authority and power swelled around him. It was so palpable, everyone was shivering, even his family, which he strategically placed himself in front of.
"That would be me." Billy said almost quietly. The young man glanced at Billy in shock then he turned to his family. Arranging them before glancing at a now pale blonde and picking her up.
"Sorry sir, excuse me." He rushed passed us and immediate placed her on the couch in the living room. We could here her grumbling before he "snapped" at her. "Shut it, Luna. You're sick from the ride here. Rest. Don't move, damn it! Stay put. That's a god damn order." Before he walked out, slamming the door shut and stalking towards his family. "Any one else feeling ill?" He glared at them all before they mumbled a 'no'. "Sorry about that, sir. She was feeling rather, ill."
The group chuckled at his sheepishness, before looking at him more directly. He and the Chestnut Brunette were more scarred than the others. But he more so than her. "What is your name, young one." We saw him grip his wand as he watched the tree line, before turning his eyes to them.
"Harry. Harry Potter-Black. My children, Lily Luna and James Sirius Potter-Black. My surrogate son, Edward Remus Lupin." He pointed out the children. When all eyes turned towards Edward his hair immediately changed from turquoise to light pink before shifting to red back to turquoise. We watched in awe, before we turned back to Harry. "The woman beside me is, Hermione Granger. Her lovely daughter, Rose Lavender Weasley or Granger. She goes by either. The woman in the house is Luna Lovegood, pregnant with Alice Amelya Longbottom. Fiancée to this hunk of meat, Neville Longbottom. And his two Parents. Alice Marie and Frank James Longbottom."
We looked at them all. The children, while not looking as haunted as the adults, looked haunted. It was now real. It made sense that with their ages, they'd be part of the war. "Daddy.." They looked at the red head, she seemed to be in near tears. He opened his arms and she was instantly in them. They heard him murmur to her before looking at Rose, James and Edward. They knew that he wanted to hold them as well. Thy watched them. They drew comfort from each other.
"I miss mom.." "I miss dad.." "Dad.. Can you tell me about them some more..?" They watched as the stoic look left his eyes and tears immediately fell from them. No sound came, just the tears. They were broken.
"It's horrible. Isn't it..? Watching them fall apart. I mean?" They turned to see Luna, she was supposed to stay in bed.
"What happened to them?" Billy questioned. She looked at him with a stoic look one that said she knew.
"When you lose someone you love. You never feel whole again. Look at Them all. Even me. It destroys a part of you. A part you didn't even know you had. But it's not time for the stories yet." She said softly. Glancing at the family. "Harry. Get your arse together. We need to get some sleep!" She called laughingly.
"What are you doing?" Jared hissed at her. He flinched back at the glare.
"Saving us. His mental break downs are bad." She said brokenly.
They watched as he looked up with a tender look in his eyes. "Gotta ruin an intimate moment, don't ya, Luna?"
"Sorry. I'm not buzzkill. I actually enjoy them. But not in public. Get your self together." She put on a pompous show, that had them all laughing loudly.
"You'd make a great Draco Malfoy!" Hermione gasped out between laughter. The blonde huffed in mock anger.
"Don't say that again! I'm not pompous. I'm just rich. And famous. And friends with you!" She pointed her finger at the small group in front of them. Causing more laughter. "Hey 'Mione? Got that tent? I don't wanna walk!" She whined.
It quieted down slightly. They watched as Hermione opened her beaded bag and reached, and reached and reached and reached, in before pulling her arm out again with a tent in hand. Then to the amazement of the group she just tapped it with her wand and it sprung up. "Come in, guys. It's big enough." The wolves looked skeptical but watched as one after another moved into it, before the allowed the humans to follow. Than they did, and they were followed by the vampires.
