(U)Chapter Three(U)
The next time Bella went over to Jacobs after school she picked up Harry and Teddy on the way. Now that was interesting, having three adults and one baby in her truck. The boys wished she knew about their magic because then they could have just spelled it to be safe. As it was the car seat wasn't possible, even with Draco volunteering to ride in the back of the truck and so Teddy was held very tightly on Harry's lap in the middle of the cab while Draco sat by the passenger door, rather squashed up to it in fact.
Teddy loved the bumpy ride to the reservation, gabbling away and squealing with delight at every corner. Harry winced a lot as Teddy unknowingly bounced on a certain part of his Godfathers anatomy that really hurt. Draco, acting more like his old self with every moment in their company simply laughed. A lot.
Bella parked the truck at the side of a rather old looking garage, Teddy giving her a loud round of applause. She and Draco slipped out first and while Bella went inside to find Jacob, Draco took Teddy so that Harry could jump out. Almost immediately Teddy's hair became the same platinum blond as Draco's.
"No Teddy," Harry said sternly as he took him back into his arms, "Do you remember what we said about being around muggles?"
"Uh-huh," Teddy nodded slowly and Draco's assumed correctly that he'd learnt that from his Uncle Ron.
"No change," Teddy said softly, looking worried now. Draco suspected he knew he'd done something wrong.
"Yes, no changing," Harry said.
"Whoops," Teddy mumbled adorably, putting his hands on his head as if trying to hide his mistake. Draco cracked a smile but somehow Harry managed to remain perfectly serious as he looked down at him.
"Yes. Whoops indeed. Now if you change it back right now and don't change again until we're away from the muggle then I won't take away your sweets today." Draco had learned that Harry punished Teddy in a different way depending on the size of the grievance. No sweets was quite small. Early bedtime was medium. Confined to his bedroom was a big one and had only happened once when Teddy had hit Narcissa for no reason.
"Kay Dada," Teddy mumbled, his hair becoming it's natural sandy blond colour quickly. "Sorry Dada."
"It's ok Teddy," Harry said, kissing the little boys forehead softly. Just then Bella returned and following a few steps behind her was the most attractive person Harry Potter had ever seen.
"Draco, you remember Jacob," Bella said as they stopped before the two.
"From the beach," Draco said nodding, "How could I forget the storyteller?"
"Nice to see you again Draco," Jacob nodded to him in greeting.
"You too but…have you grown?" Draco asked wit ha frown. Jacob nodded proudly. "Now that's not fair, a fifteen-"
"Sixteen," Jacob corrected.
"Sorry, sixteen year old shouldn't be so…big," Draco continued with a smile, "It's just not fair on us eighteen year olds. I thought I was relatively tall till I met you. Isn't that right Harry?"
"No it's not fair, now I feel even more like a dwarf," Harry smiled warmly up at the tall and utterly gorgeous teenager, "Are you really sixteen?"
"Yes," Jacob laughed.
"Wow, what do they feed you here? Can I get some?" Harry asked sounding serious. He'd always been a little embarrassed and rather annoyed about his small frame, a left over form growing up rather neglected. He'd never be muscled like Ron or tall like Draco. He was just…small.
"Nothing special," Jacob answered, looking down at Harry so that his deep brown eyes met the emerald green ones. Both of them felt their breaths slowly leave their body. "Anyway you don't need to grow any more, your perfect the way you are." Bella's face took on an expression of shock as Draco mumbled,
"Ok…" Apparently the two were attracted to each other. Who knew? After all Harry Potter was…well he was just that. Harry Potter. And Jacob, wasn't he supposed to be in love with Bella and yet here he was calling Harry perfect and gazing into his eyes. What was going on?
"Is he yours?" Jacob asked suddenly, blinking to break their staring match. Something was pulling him towards the handsome dark haired teen, overpowering his normal emotions for Bella.
"Oh, no," Harry shook his head, looking down at the frowning Teddy, "I'm his Godfather and…well his parents…they're…" He didn't like saying it in front of Teddy because soon he would understand he would ask questions and…well call him a coward but Harry wanted to put that painful conversation off for as long as possible.
"I understand," Jacob mumbled, "I'm sorry."
"Yeah. Well I took him in and when I can I'm going to adopt him," Harry explained calmly, pushing Teddy's hair off of his face. It needed cutting soon.
"Oh," Jacob nodded, "That's very good you. Not many would do that. You-You are a very special person, a very good person."
"I don't think so," Harry shook his head with a sad little laugh, Good wasn't a word he'd use to describe himself any more, after all he'd killed someone and hurt so many. Hundreds of people had died because of him. That certainly wasn't good. "I'm just doing what's right for Teddy."
"Nope, don't believe that in the slightest. This isn't just doing the right thing," Jacob shook his head. "You are a good person."
"Ok," Harry mumbled awkwardly and silence fell.
"Sooooo…Harry, Jacob, Jacob, Harry. Now we're all acquainted how about we go inside before it rains on us?" Bella suggested.
"Actually I have yet to be introduced to this little man but you're right, it is about to rain so I can wait," Jacob said, grinning like his normal self and wondering where all that had come from earlier. He led them into the garage and shut the door behind them just before it started to chuck it down, the sound of the raindrops echoing on the old metal roof and sounding louder than it would on a normal roof.
"What on Earth is that?" Draco asked, looking into the garage.
"My car," Jacob said with a frown. If Draco was insulting his car…
"Not the car, that," he pointed to one of the two bikes, walking over to it and noticing the other one behind it.
"Ah, well…they're mine…well one is, I gave the other to Jacob as a thank you for fixing them up so that…" Bella said with a blush.
"So that?" Draco pushed.
"So that I could learn to ride it," Bella said.
"You have been riding that…that death trap? No wonder you've had a concussion!" Draco said loudly, making Bella blush further.
"I'm better at it now," Bella said softly.
"Uh-huh," Draco was unconvinced. Teddy chose this moment to interrupt the tense conversation, speaking up loudly and innocently.
"Big man hug!" he cried out from Harry's arms, reaching out for Jacob. It broke the tension completely and Jacob laughed loudly, moving closer to Harry.
"May I?" he asked, holding his hands.
"Sure. Teddy, be good," Harry said in warning as Jacob took the little boy.
"No change," Teddy promised loudly.
"Huh?" Jacob asked confused.
"Don't worry," Harry brushed it off, fighting down the panic. He prayed silently that Teddy wouldn't innocently say that Harry couldn't cover up or brush off. "Say hello to Jacob, Teddy."
"He'wo Jacow," Teddy said obediently before surprising everyone by growling loudly at the huge teenager, baring his teeth.
"Teddy!" Harry gasped as the boy continued to growl like a…like a wolf.
"It's all right," Jacob laughed before growling back, sending Teddy off into peels of laughter. Harry frowned, why would Teddy growl at a complete stranger? Oh Teddy growled sometimes, especially around the full moon but only at Bill or werewolves…oh no, oh no, no, no…
"Is he a werewolf?" Harry asked Draco very quietly so that neither Jacob or Bella, who was watching Jacob closely would hear.
"Not that I know of but he once told me his tribe believe that they are descended from wolves. And he hates the Cullens," Draco whispered back, "But I did suspect something was different when I met him. I got this tingly feeling on the back of my neck, I still do. My mother told me it is my magic reacting," Draco explained his gift softly and Harry nodded, understanding what he meant. He got the same thing when he concentrated, focusing his magic on sensing another persons. Draco just did it naturally. "I got the same feeling with the vampires."
"Oh dear," Harry muttered, looking back to Teddy who was laughing his little head off as he was held upside down as if he weighed nothing at all. "Be careful or he'll be sick," Harry said, going over to Jacob.
"And that would not be good," Jacob chuckled righting the red faced Teddy.
"Again!" Teddy demanded.
"No can do little man, Harry says no," Jacob said softly. Wide little eyes turned to Harry, a frown marring his innocent face,
"Why dada?"
The look combined with the little wobble in Teddy's voice made Harry feel like a horrible monster but he was resolute.
"Because you'll get sick."
"Won't," Teddy shook his head.
"Yes you will," Harry said.
"Not fair!" Teddy yelled, tears welling up in his amber eyes. Jacob was looking a little awkward now and so Harry took Teddy back. Unfortunately Teddy didn't want to go back, he wanted to play and so he did what any other upset two year old does. He started screaming, reaching for Jacob.
Draco winced, this time Teddy's screaming affected him. It wasn't hungry screaming or wet nappy screaming like all the other times. This was different. This was angry and upset screaming and Draco clenched his hands, his whole body trembling slightly.
"Teddy! Stop this!" Harry snapped, all attention thankfully on him and Teddy. Neither Jacob or Bella noticed the affect the screaming was having on Draco and for that he was thankful, he did not need to explain that right now. Harry was wondering what on Earth had gotten into his little boy all of a sudden.
"Alpha! Want Alpha!" Teddy screamed. That snapped Draco out of his fear as he and Harry shared a look. Harry had told Teddy about his mummy and his daddy, especially about the werewolf part of Remus. He'd told him that Remus had been the Alpha of Hogwarts, the werewolf in charge…but surely Teddy couldn't mean…"Want my Alpha!"
"How cute, he's given Jacob a nickname," Draco recovered first, speaking quickly. Harry was still in shock. Teddy was half-werewolf…could he sense more than Harry and Draco could?
"Do you want to play little man?" Jacob asked. Teddy nodded. "Well ok but no more upside down game."
"But-"
"But we'll find a new game," Jacob said cheerfully, "How would you like to see my car? Does that sound fun?"
"Car?" Teddy asked with a confused frowned, "Wha car?"
"This is my car," Jacob said, carrying the little boy over to the drivers door of his pride and joy, "It's called a Rabbit. Can you say rabbit?"
"Wabbit!" Teddy copied him adorably.
"Close enough," Jacob laughed.
"Thanks Jacob," Bella said softly as her friend proceeded to entertain the boy. Harry and Draco shared another worried look.
Could he be a werewolf?
They spent the rest of the day at Jacobs and watched, Draco filled with fear as she and Jacob rode the bikes (mostly to prove that she could do so without falling off) along a country road a little away from the house. Apparently Jacob's father, Billy, didn't know about the bikes either. Draco declined Jacobs offer or a ride but Harry eagerly accepted, jumping onto the bike behind the teen and leaving Teddy in Draco's care. He loved it, relishing in the speed and the danger, the same feelings he got when he was flying.
"This is wonderful!" he shouted to Jacob as he held onto the strong teen around his waist. And what a waist! Harry could feel the rock hard muscles through the leather jacket and for a while he got embarrassingly hot within his clothes as he wondered what Jacob looked like out of his clothes.
He hadn't had a sudden crush like this since Cedric Diggory. At the time he'd been very much in the closet and so had somehow managed to pass it off that it was Cho that he liked. But kissing her had been…well disgusting. While loosing Cedric, even though there had never been anything between them, had felt like his heart had been ripped in two.
After he'd come out to the people he considered to be closer than family in his sixth year, mostly to stop everyone trying to set him up with poor Ginny who only had eyes for Neville, he'd had a wonderful relationship with the Weasley twins. Yes, both of them at the same time. They'd taught him so much, he'd loved them so much…and then Fred had been killed in the Battle for Hogwarts. He'd held George as he'd sobbed over his twin and lovers body. And then much to everyone who knew about their relationships surprise he'd been best man at George's wedding to Angelina, taking place a few weeks before Ron and Hermiones wedding. Almost everyone had been confused about how Harry stepped back from his remaining lover but George had needed to heal, Harry was a reminder of their unusual relationship which in turn was a constant reminder of Fred. It had hurt Harry, still holding feelings for George, but as ever he'd done the right thing. And seeing the smiles on their faces at their wedding he couldn't bring himself to regret it.
"I'm glad you're enjoying it," Jacob called back to him, "Fancy giving it a go?"
"What?" Harry asked.
"Do you want to try driving?" Jacob elaborated.
"Hell yes!"
Somehow his worries about Jacob possibly being a werewolf disappeared deep under his attraction the younger man and the lessons he was given on riding a motorbike. It was complicated but apparently he was a natural at anything dangerous and speedy, soon he was flying along with Jacob sat behind him, taking to it as quickly as he'd taken to his broom.
As he drove, his skin burning when Jacob was holding him gently about the waist so as not to fall off he thought about what it would mean if Jacob was a werewolf. It would of course all depend on what type of werewolf he was. One like Fenrir Greyback or one like Remus Lupin. He hoped he was the latter…
Back with Draco Teddy was running around happily, jumping in the mud and covering his trainers and the bottom of his trousers in the brown muck but Draco didn't have the heart to interrupt his fun. After all it wasn't hurting anyone, a little dirt never did. He heard a bike approaching, they'd long ago disappeared down the road, and found Bella coming to a stop in front of him. She pulled off her helmet, her hair tumbling about wildly and dismounted the thing like a pro. Teddy waved to her before tripping and falling into the mud. Instead of crying he laughed and began to pat at the mud with his little hands.
"You know Harry's going to kill you?" she asked softly, "He's filthy." Draco shrugged. They would banish the dirt from the clothes later and washing Teddy was always good fun, more water ending up on the floor than in the bath. Of course most of the time Teddy didn't think it was good fun. He hated bath time! "Draco, do you…do you think about them?"
"I try not to," Draco answered softly, knowing exactly which them she meant.
"I can't stop even though I want to," Bella said sadly, "I can't stop thinking about Edward, picturing him in my mind," she sighed deeply, "I even hear his voice in my head. I hear him telling me off when I'm doing something stupid or dangerous. That's why…"
"Why you ride the bike," Draco said with growing realisation, "Oh Bella…"
"If they came back what would you do?" Bella asked.
"I don't know," Draco answered truthfully.
"I'd forgive him in a moment," Bella breathed sadly, "Because even after everything, even after the pain he's made me feel I still love him."
Draco finally looked away from his friends tortured eyes and her hopeful look. He didn't want to think about Jasper again. Oh yes, he might not have told her but he still loved his vampire as much as she loved hers. But he didn't (B)want(B) to love him anymore, loving him and not having him hurt too much. It was enough to make a person do something stupid…like stop eating.
"So…I know what you said before but the way you are with him and…well…are you sure you're not a couple? You and Harry?"
"No," Draco shook his head quickly, "Harry and I are not now nor shall we ever be a couple. We're too different. Light and dark."
"Looks aren't everything Draco," Bella said softly, causing Draco to chuckle.
"I didn't mean our looks," he explained, "I meant out personalities, our souls. His is so light and mine…well it's just not."
"I don't understand," Bella said with a frown.
"You know that's probably a good thing. You've got enough to worry about without my burdens," Draco said sadly, looking over at Teddy who was laughing happily, "Oh My God, Harry will kill me."
"Huh?" Bella asked, confused at the change in Draco's attitude. She turned her own eyes to the toddler and gasped, her hand covering her mouth. He was literally rolling in the mud, the brown muck dripping off of him. Not one millimetre of him was untouched. "Yep, Harry is going to kill you."
"Serves me right for taking my eyes off of him," Draco muttered, pulling Teddy out of the mud and up onto the road.
"He does look cute though, cute and dirty," Bella giggled. Draco pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket, shaking it out with a flourish, earning another giggle from Bella as she wondered who else still carried a hankie around these days. He used it to wipe the mud off of Teddy's little face and his little hands, not finding pink skin at all, it was all stained brown.
"Ew," Draco muttered as he shook the hankie out, "You are so gross little man. How can you like being covered in mud? I know it's meant to be good for you but it's just so…so disgusting!" Teddy simply laughed in response and then as Draco's bad luck would have it Harry and Jacob arrived, Harry parking the bike with ease next to Bella's and both of them pulling off their helmets.
"Draco!" Harry gasped when he saw the state his ward was in.
"I took my eyes off him for a couple of seconds!" Draco defended himself, "A minute at most." Jacob laughed deeply and Teddy, noticing him rushed up to him, reaching up with his dirty arms and clearly begging to be picked up.
"Someone's going to be having a bath tonight," Jacob's laughed increased ad Teddy let out a loud 'yuck' noise and waved his arms about, he really wanted him to pick him up! "That's what comes when you get dirty I'm afraid, you have to get clean again and a bath is the only way."
"Oh," Teddy pouted, "Hug?"
"You'll get me dirty," Jacob protested good naturedly as Harry grumbled about how many baths it was going to take to get Teddy clean again.
"I'll help," Draco promised.
"Oh I know you will," Harry said loudly and Bella giggled.
"Peas hug?" Teddy asked softly and out came the big guns, his eyes welling up with big tears and the big wobbling lip.
"Oh how can I resist the wounded puppy look?" Jacob asked shaking his head, scooping Teddy up in his arms and covering his chest and arms in mud. Teddy growled almost happily and rubbed his face on Jacob's firm shoulder. "Could you be any more adorable?"
"Adorable?" Harry snorted, "Try him screaming at the top of his lungs at three in the morning. Adorable is not the word I'd use to describe him."
"Shouldn't he be past the sleepless nights? I mean he's what, two years old?" Bella asked confused. Of course she wasn't an expert on babies but from what she'd heard about them…
"Nightmares," Harry shrugged, interrupting her thoughts.
"Oh," she hummed in understanding.
"Does he get a lot of them?" Jacob asked as Teddy lay his head down on his shoulder and closed his little eyes. A yawn spread his lips wide. "Oh dear, I think he's a little tired now. Have you played yourself out?" Teddy nodded slowly.
"He doesn't get as many as some people but he gets a fair few," Harry answered, "Not as many as me." This last bit was a whisper that only Draco heard. "I think I might need to take Teddy home now though. For a bath and then bed."
"Do you mind Bella?" Draco asked, after all they needed her to take them home. She was the one with a drivers license and a vehicle.
Not at all, it's getting late anyway," Bella nodded, "Looks like his little game in the mud wore him out." She smiled over at the little boy relaxing in Jacob's arms.
"Come on then Teddy, time to go home," Harry said, lifting Teddy out of Jacob's arms and holding him in his own, "Aww Teddy, you've got me all covered in mud as well!" A tired little left Teddy's mouth as he snuggled into Harry's shoulder. "Now say goodbye to Jacob, Teddy."
"Come again?" Teddy asked, raising himself up briefly, looking over at Jacob with worry in his eyes. He quite obviously wanted to come back.
"If it's all right with Jacob," Harry said, also looking over at Jacob.
"Alpha?" Teddy asked softly. Jacob looked up from his inspection of the damage done to his jacket (which incidentally was a child shaped mud stain which Harry really hoped would wash off) and smiled at Teddy,
"Anytime little man," Jacob grinned at him, "All my friends are welcome any time and I'll be glad to call you lot my friends."
"Thank you Jacob," Harry said softly, "We'll do that."
"Bye Teddy," Jacob said, waving at the little boy.
"Buh-bye Alpha!" Teddy called back, obviously using the last of his energy as he slumped into Harry's embrace weakly after that.
"See yah Jacob," Harry said as Draco nodded his own silent farewell.
"You guys go get in the truck, I've just got to store my bike and then I'll be right there. It's open," Bella said with a smile as she began to push her bike towards the garage at the end of the road, Jacob doing the same. Harry and Draco walked up to the truck, Harry climbing in without letting go of Teddy. Once the door was shut they both let out deep sighs and looked at each other.
"Do you think…?" Draco began to ask.
"I don't know, there's something but no matter how hard I tried it wouldn't come through clear," Harry sighed. He'd been trying all day to make his magic sense if Jacob was a werewolf but as he'd just said it hadn't worked. "Teddy?"
"Yes dada?" Teddy asked sleepily.
"Why did you call Jacob Alpha?" Harry asked. He'd been dying to ask Teddy this all afternoon.
"'Cause he is Alpha," Teddy mumbled, "You say Alpha is wolf in charge, one that gets erspec," he meant respect of course but you couldn't blame him, he was only two, "from the other wolves. He wolf in charge so I call him Alpha."
"Jacobs a werewolf?" Draco asked.
"If Teddy says he is, then he is, as a half werewolf he'd be able to tell much better and far quicker than you or I could," Harry said softly but Teddy was shaking his little head.
"No, not werewolf yet. Will be," he mumbled.
"How do you know this?" Harry asked with a frown, never had he heard this before. Teddy knowing that someone was going to become a werewolf in the future? Surely only a Seer could see that?
"Smell it," Teddy shrugged.
"What is going on in this town?"
Draco couldn't answer as Bella chose that moment to climb into the cab.
"Home we go."
A/N There we go. As you've probably noticed I'm sort of staying with the book but obviously I am using that wonderful thing called artistic licence quite liberally. Hope this didn't disappoint. BTW I got myself royally confused figuring out where this chapter is in the story so I expect you might be a little confused too. To clear it up this chapter takes place between 'Adrenaline' and 'Third Wheel'.
A/N2 Teddy is based on my friends twin boys, they just turned two and are so cute!
