Jacob looked at the bunch of busybodies that were his pack and had come to see Harriette. He had already seen her several times that week thanks to a follow up for nothing to do with being a stalker at the Forks supermarket and the permissiveness of the Cullens who were very happy for him, especially Edward. The bloody leech thought that he no longer had any competition, Jacob thought to encourage to death any new suitor of Bella
Bella had been frantic with joy when he'd come over to her house and told her so while Charlie had frowned. Although that visit ended up in the ER because Bella went to the kitchen and in her excitement she didn't see a puddle and slipped hitting her head on the floor quite hard and earning a concussion.
It was a shame school hadn't started yet because Bella had also insisted on being there to see Harriette, and Charlie had signed up. Although, from what Charlie had told Billy, Charlie hoped that Bella would finally notice Jacob. That would have been Jacob's wish before
Now he was in a fifteen dollar T-shirt with neatly cropped hair nervously looking down the road as several pounds of meat were cooking and filling the air with a wonderful smell. Normally Jacob would be first in line for the meat, but he had his stomach in a fist as he waited for Sirius' motorcycle to appear.
Paul gasped and pointed down the road in time to see a car that had cost more than Jacob's house. It was a high-class Mercedes with tinted windows and a black finish that highlighted a family crest that featured two ravens and the starry sky. It was the car of someone very rich, it was more expensive than the cars of the leeches
The car parked among the wrecked vans, motorcycles, and second-hand cars, and out came Sirius and a short man. Jacob looked at him and realized that he had a kind of facial deformity that turned his face into something out of a story, along with dwarfism and obvious old age.
They went to open the back doors and Harriette came out with a tray along with a man with hair the color of sand and… Emily put her hand to the scars on the side of her face, because the man with Sand-colored hair also had claw marks across his otherwise friendly face.
Jacob's wolf was on guard, that man, the one with the sandy hair, smelled like a wild wolf. And he wasn't the only one who noticed it, the other wolves had tensed just like him.
-Sorry, we're late. Kreacher insisted on coming. Sirius looked at the old man.
-I have to check if the companies are suitable for the young lady since the bad master does not know how to distinguish good companies
Sirius stifled a curse as Remus walked over to him.
-It's like going back to my adolescence, I swear.
Harriette smiled apologetically at Jacob, only at Jacob.
- Sorry, Sirius took out the fancy car and Kreacher insisted on coming
- Kreacher?
- He has been working for the Black family since Sirius's mother was born, we have really tried to get him to retire. But he says that he will keep working until he dies. - Harriette looked at the old man who asked what she could do. - The name was given by Sirius's mother, as far as I know, he doesn't respond to anything else
Paul looked at her in amazement.
-You speak as if Sirius came from an important family. But he is Jacob's cousin
Harriette stared at them, especially Jacob and the others.
-Don't you know that the Black family belongs to the English nobility? Sirius is a noble, he is Lord Black, the Marquess of Ravensfield. – Everyone, including Billy and Jacob, opened their mouths wide enough to catch flies.
Sirius laughed and squeezed Harriette's shoulders making Jacob feel jealous and his wolf stirred.
-And the Potter family also have a title. Right, Archduchess Peverell?
-You know perfectly well that currently only the title of Earls of Godric and a handful more are legal. --- Harriette pouted and Jacob wanted to run her thumb over her lip. – The other titles are from countries that were conquered or disappeared.
Sirius laughed but looked at Jacob with cold eyes.
-The family of this beauty has more than fifteen hundred years of recorded history in the nobility, while the Blacks have only been nobles for a thousand years or so.
Billy got in between, seeing his son in trouble and trying to defuse the situation.
-Then we can inherit the title?
-Nope. --- Sirius smiled.- Harriette is the official heir, and if something happens to her there are two others with closer blood relations who can claim the title.
----------------------------
Jacob was pleased when Harry sat down next to him as they circled to tell family stories. Or, in other words, the embarrassing stories of every under-twenty-year-old present.
Leah's mother finished telling the story of how Sam had ended up on a fence running from her chickens to everyone's laughter.
- How did you get those scars, Remus? - Charlie said it with a beer in his hand
- I was attacked by a werewolf when I was five years old. – Those who knew the truth about vampires and werewolves tensed.
-A werewolf? – Charlie said it like he was a joke
-You see the size of the scars. It was a huge wolf, like a house. Bigger than a normal wolf. In fact, Harry's father told me the scars would be good for flirting when we met. We were eleven years old.
- They worked for me, Mooney. --- Sirius winked at her husband. – The one who needed flirting advice was James. From eleven to sixteen chasing after Harry's mother until she finally gave him a date. Lily was formidable, but even the greatest fall
Jacob saw how excited Harry was by that and straightened up, causing their arms to brush. Jacob liked that casual physical contact
-Six years, he must have been very much in love. - Billy smiled with his beer bottle while Sue said this. Everyone knew that even though her husband wasn't the most loving of hers, she brought at least one flower home every Friday and took her out to dinner every two months on a date.
-It was more than that. He described Lily as gravity, which tied him to the ground. James used to say that when he saw Lily for the first time it was like everything that tied him to the world was severed and she was the one keeping him grounded at the time. He was a bit pathetic in his attempts until he matured enough. But to James, Lily was gravity, the sun, and the center of his universe. To quote him, she was his morning light and the reason the stars shone at night. --Sirius looked sad. – A brave and noble man who died protecting his wife and daughter
Jacob exchanged a look with other members of his pack. And also with the elderly. That had sounded suspiciously like a primer. And the wolf scent on Remus was a bit like Emily's.
Jacob knew that when they left there would be a debate
-Sounds like a great man. Charlie sighed. - But what happened?
Harry turned to look at Charlie with a serious expression.
-The leader of a sect decided in one of his delusions with drugs that by killing me he would become immortal. And I try several times until the sect was destroyed last year, most of the information can be found on the internet and I think someone is writing a book, but I'm not sure
-----------------------------
Jacob was finishing taking out a couple of garbage bags from the impromptu meeting when he bumped into Remus. He was in a bad mood because he had tried to ask Harry for his phone number and Sirius had gotten in the way every time.
-Good evening
-Good evening. I see you are interested in Harry
Jacob blushed
-And because of what Sirius said from the first meeting. – The man with sandy hair seemed to be enjoying it.
-Yes, okay…. She was… Perfect and then she had that even more perfect fighting personality and I want to protect her, but I know she doesn't want to be protected. I haven't been able to ask for her phone number or a date from her because Sirius is so overprotective and I don't want to just throw it in his face- Jacob didn't know why he was being so honest. It was as if something forced him to be. Remus smiled and handed him a piece of paper.
-It's Harry's number and she really wants to go see that terrorist zombie movie
--------------------------------
That night at the Black house. Harry watched as Kreacher shed his disguise.
-The young man who descends from the Black family is suitable for you, young lady.
-No, he is not! Harry is too young to have a boyfriend let alone someone like him! – Sirius got up angrily looking at Kreacher angrily
-Although the foolish master does not want to admit it, there is a magical link between them. - The elf shook his ears. – The magic has united them and he notices it. He will be a suitable match despite his lack of magical abilities because he will completely surrender to the young lady.
Remus approached the elf.
-What kind of bond is it?
-Ancient magic, very very old and powerful. A bond of true love. A bond in which you will be anything, you will do anything for the other person. --– Kreacher smiled. --– Kreacher prayed that one of his children would have one of those bonds, and in the end one of them does. Kreacher is very lucky to see this, Kreacher is very happy right now
Sirius started cursing as Harry apologized and she blushed off to her bedroom. He must have felt the bond that first day and that's why he acted creepy. The magic tugged at him and he didn't understand or couldn't resist. But Harry knew how to resist the siren song of magic.
During her upbringing as heiress, Harry had read about the bonds of true love. And she had dreamed of one. Someone who wouldn't care about her wealth, her fame, her status, her titles, and her abilities. Someone who would only see Harry and love her unconditionally. Harry looked up the boy's phone number that he had thanks to the surly girl, Leah, and texted him. Her heart beat excitedly at that and she thought she heard a cry of joy later in the night.
----------------------
Among the Quileute
-Maybe there are other supernatural beings that we don't know about?
-There may be many that we do not know. - Billy said it softly. – The world is very wide and we only live in a small corner. But they described what it sounded like to imprint. I did not know that it was possible for other beings to imprint.
- We'll keep an eye on them.
------------------------------
The meeting between the vampires and the pack was tense.
-I had never heard of other supernatural beings other than vampires, werewolves or you, whom we consider more of a shapeshifter. Carlisle Cullen thought quickly. – But they are rare. We've searched all over Forks but haven't found your house. But, the fact is that a house that we remember is missing. But we can't find her or remember where she was. Even now we only have vague memories of the house
-That's not normal? - Edward translated Sam's thoughts
-I remember how many eyelashes you lost in our last meeting, I remember everything in my life. But I have forgotten a house in the village. That's weird, the weirdest thing that's happened to me in a long time.- Carlisle looked around. They all tensed. They had heard a crack clear and loud as day.
They were in an elevated position, so they looked sideways before finding movement in a small clearing. Harriette was coming out of the trees in a dress and walking gaily. Jacob stirred and groaned as the girl reached the center of the small clearing.
A bird song caught their attention and they saw a red and gold bird fly straight at Harriette. She held out her arm for him to perch on and then stroked her feathers lovingly.
- Hi, Fawkes. You are beautiful. --The bird stirred with a shriek of delight and Jacob thought he saw flames where his wings flapped. - I've missed you too. Let's go together?
-No playing, little one. --- Sirius came out of the bushes with Remus following him. Remus seemed ill, so Jacob wondered why they were taking a night walk. The man took out a kind of compass that turned many times on itself while she looked around.- Okay, the preparations are ready. There are no humans for almost thirty kilometers.
-Is coming. --- Remus sat on the floor in pain. – You have to start now.
Harriette took off her backpack and took out several rubber balls and an extra-large chew string. Jacob wasn't the only one to realize that those things couldn't have fit in that backpack. Sirius, for his part, had taken out a large plate and placed on it a whole pig that he was taking out of a backpack that was also too small.
Then Harry looked up at the sky, where the moon was beginning to rise and she walked a bit before her body became a blur for a few seconds and in its place was a doe with soft golden brown fur and eyes of an incredible shade of green. The white flecks on her fur were adorable and Jacob wanted to playfully chase her through the woods. Knock her down carefully, she shifting into her human form beneath him and he…
Mental screams from Leah and the rest of the pack stopped Jacob's reverie. Sirius had also changed and now he was a huge black dog, bigger than a mastiff, close to a bear. They both looked at Remus and he looked up at the sky.
His mouth opened with a strange noise and his limbs began to lengthen with painful jerks. Her clothes ripped as she took on grotesque proportions and Carlile cursed, something that got everyone's attention.
-That's a real werewolf
The beast that was where Remus was raised its snout to the sky and howled with all its might shaking everyone's heart. He then turned to where they were and started running being closely followed by the doe and the black dog.
Jacob braced himself, but the doe came faster and from the sounds it sounded like the dog was holding the werewolf back. She blinked at them and the animal part of her recognized them as threats but she turned and slammed her hooves against the ground causing the ground to rise up and offer a defense for them.
But, apparently the werewolf was stronger and easily jumped the earthen wall. The doe kicked the ground and the earth under it again. She put herself between the animal and them. Surprisingly the werewolf didn't attack her and began to sniff her with interest. She took a couple of steps into the woods and the werewolf followed her.
She looked at him for a few seconds before breaking into a run and being followed by the werewolf. Before anyone could stop him, Jacob followed them. He wouldn't leave her imprint alone with a werewolf. Remus gave him a snarling look before sniffing at him and then reluctantly leaving him. Harriette moved closer to him more confused but she must have picked up Jacob's familiar scent because she did a couple of somersaults and rubbed her head against his muzzle. Something that made Jacob's heart race
----------------------
Jacob watched as the sun rose and Remus returned to being a human with his clothes torn. The black dog that had been growling at him all night approached the now human and took human form to take him in his arms.
-- Jacob, could you be human again? - Jacob turned to look at Harriette who was smiling next to her. The boy looked at the blanket that had been left on the ground and took it before going into some bushes and changing to come out covered with the blanket. Harriette blushed looking at him. – I guess your clothes are torn in the change
-Yes. --- Jacob nodded, very blushing. - What are you? You feel like humans, except for Remus. but you have powers
Harriette smiled. Before leaning down and kissing Jacob on the cheek, making him blush deeply.
-I'm a real witch. Sirius and Remus are wizards. We are human, with magic. You may think that we are the special model within the human line. Humans with an extra.
-Like in cauldrons, spells and revive the dead? ---- Harriette nodded and Jacob cursed
-Well, the part of reviving the dead is a bit complicated...
- Harry, we have to go now, I've finished packing up everything except the blanket.
- I'll call you, Jacob. I can explain it to you better on a date. Thursday at three?
- I… Okay. --- Jacob felt his heart race as she smiled and she clung to her godfather before disappearing with a snap. – I have a date with my future wife. – Jacob said it in an ecstatic way
- Did he just say that she is a fucking witch?! -- Of course, Leah's screams broke Jacob's illusions
