Harsh cackling laughter. A bright flash. A sudden rush of coldness. Falling. Silence. Darkness. So afraid.
Teddy awoke with a start, breathless and panting hard. At the sound of soft whining coming from his bedroom window he looked out and seeing Paul outside in his wolf form he smiled softly. Reaching over he unlocked his window and opened it wide, moments later a plastic bag of clothing sailed through followed by the now human paul climbing through, both landing softly on Teddy's bed.
"Are you ok Ted? I felt your fear...". Paul whispered quickly, eyes scanning the room whilst putting his pants on before focusing on Teddy once more.
"Yeah I'm fine. I think I had a nightmare... you don't have to worry about me Paul. I have them sometimes".
"Oh.." Paul looked away with a small frown, embarrassed at his reaction. He didn't know that it was just a nightmare. All he knew was that he was asleep back in his own bed when he woke up feeling Teddy's fear. Before he could even think he had grabbed his emergency clothes and shifted mid jump out of his own window, racing to Teddy's as fast as he could. Turning back to Teddy he noticed the boy staring at him curiously. "Yes?" Paul whispered softly.
"I was just wondering when you got here. I didn't see you earlier when I came to bed" Teddy replied with a shrug
"I got here a few minutes ago. I was asleep back at home in La Push" muttered Paul.
"Oh...You must be really fast" Teddy whispered with a trace of admiration
"Im one of the fastest wolves we have" Paul replied. "You should go back to sleep" Paul said turning away from Teddy, beginning to make his way over to the window when Teddy's hand grabbed hold of his wrist. Looking back at where Teddy was gripping him and then meeting Teddy's eyes he raised his eyebrow in silent question.
"Stay please?" Teddy asked.
Sighing quietly Paul nodded, turning back to the window when he was again stopped by the surprisingly firm grip Teddy had on his wrist.
"I mean in here please... just until I go to sleep. It's hard to go back to sleep by myself" Teddy whispered.
Nodding slightly Paul leaned over and closed Teddy's window before he turned back to his Imprint. He quickly tucked Teddy back into bed and then hopping off the bed , took off his pants and shifted into wolf form, curling up on the floor beside Teddy not noticing the boy's eyes flashing steel grey momentarily before reverting to their usual pale honey shade as he closed them.
It was later that morning when Teddy awoke to loud knocking on his bedroom door. "Teddy! Time to wake up!" Harry called from the hallway.
Opening his eyes Teddy blearily glanced around his room before seeing Paul still in wolf form asleep by his bed. "I'll be out soon Harry!" Teddy called out, trying to keep the panic from his voice.
"Ok! Don't take too long I want to get some breakfast into you before we leave. And no you can't just have bacon this morning!" Harry yelled back, voice fading as he made his way away from Teddy's bedroom and down the hall heading towards the stairs.
"Paul!" Teddy whispered softly, lifting a foot out from under his covers to gently nudge the massive wolf sleeping next to his bed. "Paul!" he whispered more urgently when the wolf just grunted and ignored him. Frowning, Teddy huffed in irritation at the stubborn wolf beside him before a smirk stole across his face. "Paul I think I see Emmet outside is it ok if I go say hi?" he spoke quietly.
Suddenly the wolf's eyes snapped open, glowing a brilliant amber and a low growl issued from his throat. Standing up on all fours the wolf hopped onto the bed causing it to creak quietly at the heavy addition to its frame, making his way to the window and peering outside. Seeing a distinct lack of vampire he turned his head back to Teddy who was currently smiling behind him, with what looked eerily close to a frown on his face.
"Oh c'mon paul you weren't getting up. Harry was knocking on the door and I have to go! You're lucky I locked it last night. What would have happened if he came in here to see you next to me..." Teddy said quickly.
Paul merely snorted at Teddy before turning around and rubbing his head gently against the boy, causing Teddy to let out a small laugh. "Stop it! that tickles!" Teddy gasped out amidst his laughter. "Seriously Paul you need to go, I have to get ready!"
Paul huffed softly before turning and nudging open the window. Shifting back to human form he quickly put his clothes on, Teddy looking the other way naturally, and climbed out the window before disappearing into the tree line behind the house.
After a few minutes of finding his clothes for the day and getting changed Teddy made his way down to the kitchen, freezing when he entered the room and noticed Charlie Swan sitting up at the counter, nursing a cup of coffee and smiling at Harry whilst he was making a full english breakfast. "Morning Mr Swan, Morning Harry!" he said as he made his way over to the stool beside Charlie.
"Good morning pup, so nice of you to join us in the land of the living" Harry said with mock seriousness as he bent over the stove.
"You might want to roll your tongue back into your mouth" Teddy whispered quietly to the man beside him, nudging him in the side with his elbow.
Charlie snorted as he looked away from one of his favourite sights (read; Harry bent over in front of him), turning to Teddy beside him. "And you should tell Paul that climbing naked into a young boy's bedroom window is usually a sure-fire way to end up getting shot by the police chief who lives next door and can see said boy's window from his kitchen" he whispered back with a smirk. Teddy's eyes widened dramatically in alarm. "Don't worry squirt. I'm not going to say anything to Harry yet. You do need to tell him soon though. What would happen if he walked in and saw Paul there?".
"What are you two whispering about" Harry called from the stove.
"Nothing" Charlie and Teddy replied in unison.
Harry stared at them for a few moments, suspicion evident in his face before shrugging and turning back to making breakfast
"I will. And soon I promise! But first I was trying to figure out how to tell him that the guys are all shape shifter wolves and one of them found their soulmate in me oh and he's a bit older than me too!" Teddy whispered back furiously to Charlie.
Further conversation however ceased immediately as Harry was making his way over towards them, Holding 2 plates of a full english breakfast for Teddy (extra bacon because he wasn't cruel) and Charlie (minus baked beans because Charlie didnt like them). Placing the plates infront of them he looked at them for a few moments before gesturing that they should eat. Teddy began to eat his promptly but Charlie simply stared at the young boy next to him. Noticing Charlie's gaze upon him Teddy turned and looked at him as if to say "what?"
Charlie just shook his head muttering "I'm beginning to think that you really are Paul's Imprint". Teddy looked at him in confusion before shrugging and resumed eating his breakfast.
"So Harry what are your plans for today?" Charlie called out to Harry who was currently searching in the fridge for orange juice.
"Well I have to clean the house up a little bit but after that I don't really have anything to do that I can remember right now" Harry replied. "Why do you ask?".
"Well I was thinking that we've been "dating", " Charlie said flexing his fingers in the air beside his head at the word dating. "For a week now and we haven't even gone on a date yet. There's this new film being shown down at the theatre and I was thinking since I get off work today at 5 that maybe you you'd like to join me? We could get dinner before..." Charlie trailed off nervously.
Turning to Charlie, Harry smiled warmly "I'd love to go on a date with you but I'd need to get a baby sitter for Teddy. He can't stay home by himself he's too young". Hearing this Teddy immediately began protesting that he was old enough, he was nearly 11 and a big boy he could totally look after himself but he was silenced with a quick look from Harry.
"I've already taken care of it Harry" said Charlie with a grin. "Billy agreed to look after Teddy tonight and will bring him back tomorrow morning some time after 10. He even said something about taking Teddy camping tonight with Jacob and Paul".
Harry snorted in amusement at Charlie. "Well it seems like you have everything already planned out so... what time are we dropping Teddy off?".
"I was thinking...We go drop him off at 6. The reserve isnt too far away so It wouldnt take us too long and then we can go get dinner and see the movie at 8".
Harry nodded before he turned to teddy who was staring at him with a hopeful expression on his face. "Well hurry up and finish breakfast , you have to go pack for tonight".
"IM FINISHED!" Teddy practically shouted before rocketing off his seat and was out of the kitchen and up the stairs almost before Harry could blink, Harry & Charlie's laughter trailing behind him.
"You know I think he's more excited about our date than we are" Charlie said grinning at Harry.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that" Harry replied with a wink.
A few hours later Harry and Teddy in the lounge room quietly chatting whilst Harry read the morning paper. "Do you miss the other world Harry?" Teddy asked quietly from his spot on the floor nearby, causing Harry to look up at his godson in surprise.
Sighing quietly Harry closed his newspaper before leaning back into the sofa. "Honestly? Not as much as I thought I would Ted. Too many bad memories for me there and as much as people would have wanted otherwise, in the end It got to be too much for me. Also you remember how it was pup... We couldn't go 10 steps from our home before we'd get ambushed by reporters. That's no way to raise a child".
"I know, I remember. I was just thinking I might like to go back there one day. What If i get a letter from Hogwarts?"
Harry sighed softly before he stood up and, walking over to his small godson he picked him up and sat back down on the sofa, teddy curled up against him. Taking a few breaths he tried his best to organise his thoughts. "Teddy" he began softly. "There isn't going to be a letter to you from Hogwarts".
Teddy looked up at his godfather in shock. "What? Why?" he demanded.
Harry leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Teddy's forehead. "You weren't old enough at the time to understand what was going on but I guess you're getting older now so I might as well explain."
Taking a deep breath Harry continued on.
"Just after you had turned 3, There was a new minister elected to office as the Minister of Magic. His name was Terrence Frackleburry. He was an incredibly xenophobic, paranoid wizard and he had very very little tolerance towards those he considered 'dark creatures'. It's not exactly an uncommon sentiment in the wizarding world Teddy.
Anyway one of the first things he did when he was made minister was bring about sweeping social and education reforms. One of which was that anyone who was a 'dark creature' was not allowed to hold a job or recieve magical education in Britain. Even though you yourself are not a true werewolf, your father's werewolf blood is still strong enough in you for the ministry to consider you 'sub human".
"What happened Harry..." Teddy whispered quietly.
Harry started shaking slightly, his voice thick with a mix of anger and regret
"I tried to stop them Teddy I really did. However one day a group of aurors came to the house whilst I was away and Molly was baby-sitting you. They broke down the door, stunned Molly and took you away for 'research'. When I arrived back at our flat I discovered what had happened and I went directly to the Ministry of Magic to get you back".
Harry paused again breathing deeply, his eyes filling with tears. "They refused to release you back to me citing that as a werewolf you were not human and a risk to society. I tried to explain that you were not a werewolf, you had never turned on the full moon like other werewolves and that you didnt react to silver or wolfsbane in any way. Other than the fact you had higher than normal senses you were a completely normal boy. They simply told me to file a request for release of custody with the auror department. I kind of lost it then. From what I was told later, I'd destroyed a good quarter of the ministry complex before I found you asleep, hidden away in some auror's office. They had placed you in a silver lined cage like some kind of animal. I got you out of there and back to Grimmauld place where the ministry couldn't enter." At this point Teddy was openly crying into Harry's shoulder whilst Harry tried to soothe the boy with stroking up and down his back with his hand.
"The next day the papers claimed I had attacked the ministry in an attempt to sieze some powerful magical artifacts so I could over throw the government and make myself Minister of Magic. Within half an hour I had people flooing me left and right demanding answers. Of course the Waeasleys all knew what really happened after all Molly was the one who was with you at the time the aurors took you but...their word never really held much weight in the wizarding world. My friends also tried to speak for us and I even mailed the ministry offering to pay for the repairs however they refused me. A few hours after that I discovered that they had bound your magic as well. I couldn't lift the binding, neither could anyone else I went to. Some of the most powerful wizards and witches tried to help but nothing we could do would break the seal". Harry stopped again and took a shuddering breath.
"Over the years I've moved us around europe seeking answers and generally trying to just stay away from the wizarding world of Britain but as you remember we do go back occasionally to stay for a few months at Grimmauld every couple of years. Kreacher would have my head hanging from a wall at the manor if we didnt." Harry said with a wry smile at the mention of the old house elf .
"A few months ago your aunt Hermione came to me whilst you were asleep and told me about some new information she had found in some very old books on binding spells. According to her source there were some binding spells which became considerably weaker as the distance between the bound and the place of binding increased. She suggested that we move over-seas and eventually I started looking for a place, eventually settling on this place as our new home".
"Will I ever be able to learn magic Harry?" Teddy asked quietly. Harry pressed the boy tightly to him and placed a kiss to his head.
"I promise you that you will Teddy, even if I have to teach it to you myself. We've been here for nearly two weeks and I've already noticed that the binding on you is getting weaker. You should start noticing strange feelings soon. It'll be your magic returning to you. You remember what I told you about your mother? How she was a metamorphmagus?"
Teddy nodded slowly
"When you were a baby up until the ministry took you, you displayed metamorphmagus abilities as well. You used to be able to change your hair and eyes to practically any colour or shade or style you wanted. One of your favourite things to do was actually copy my hair and eyes." Harry sighed sadly.
"It'll take a while but when the binding is weak enough I will be able to break it and your magic should return to you fully but untill then you might find little things happening. Like being able to levitate a pencil or small things like that which dont require much magic. You might even be able to change little parts of your appearance. I don't know yet though as I'm not an expert on this stuff" Harry said gently.
"Harry?" Teddy whispered
"Yes Teddy?"
"I.." was all Teddy managed to say before there was a loud knocking from the front door. Glaring at the source of the noise Harry sighed before gently placing Teddy back on the couch. "I'll be right back Teddy" Harry said quickly before making his way over to the front door in the hallway.
Opening the door he was stunned to see Billy before him being wheeled by Jacob and Paul next to them. "Billy...Paul? Jacob? What are you guys doing here?" Harry asked in confusion. "I thought we were dropping Teddy off to yours later this evening"
"Oh well we were in the area and figured we'd save you the trip and swing by to pick him up earlier" Billy replied with a friendly smile, surreptitiously glancing at Paul from the corner of his eye as Jacob elbowed Paul sharply in the side. "Is he ready by the way? We can wait a while if he isnt"
"Oh believe me, he's been ready since he found out ealier this morning" Harry said with a small laugh. "Hold on i'll just go grab his stuff now and send him out". Harry smiled and turned around leaving the door open as he made his way back to Teddy. "We'll finish this talk later pup but Billy and the others are here to get you now. They were in the area they said so lets get your stuff and you can head out with them."
"Ok Harry" Teddy said quietly before hopping off the sofa. Making his way over to his godfather he gave Harry hug and then walked over through the hallway to where his bag was. Or at least where his bag was a few minutes ago. Looking around in confusion for a few moments he jumped when he felt a large hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw Jacob standing beside him with a friendly smile on his face. "It's ok squirt I got it already" Jacob said shifting Teddy's bag under his arm. Nodding Teddy turned and waved good bye to his godfather before heading out the front door with Jacob following behind him. Smiling at the sight of Paul standing next to Billy he waved hello, laughing as he was picked up and placed on Pauls shoulders. "You ready to have fun camping with us tonight Squirt?" Paul said with a smile up at Teddy.
"Yes! I've never been camping before. Charlie said we might even hunt something!" Teddy replied , excitement rapidly filling him , chasing away the sadness of the earlier conversation he'd had with his godfather.
"Well... me and Jacob might do some hunting but I dont know what a small fry like you could do" Paul said with a small laugh.
"Careful Paul... Teddy is actually pretty good aim with a rock and would you look at that! I have one in my pocket" Billy grinned at Teddy as he withdrew the small stone. It was a river bed stone, oval shaped and smooth and Teddy was hypnotised the moment he saw it.
Reaching out for it he smiled as Paul took it from Billy and passed it up to him. Holding it in his hands he studied it closely. It was a dark onyx colour with silver streaks throughout it, perfectly smoothed by the running of water over it from centuries or so he hoped. Fitting into the palm of his hand perfectly he closed his hand over it. "It's beautiful Billy" he said and held out his hand for Billy to take it back but Billy shook his head softly, a small smile on his face.
"You keep that stone son. Consider it a welcome to the family gift"
"Really? I can keep it? Thank you so much I promise I'll take good care of it!" Teddy exclaimed happily, clearly overjoyed at such a simple gift.
Beneath him, Paul smiled softly to himself as he heard Teddy's response. He was glad his Imprint liked the stone he had found. He was running back to the reserve that morning through the woods when he had crossed a stream and it caught his eye, a small stream of sunlight had highlighted the stone, silver streaks shining brightly as they reflected the light, almost as if the sun was pointing to it. He didnt think twice before he'd picked it up in his jaws and continued back to the reserve. He was going to give it to his Imprint himself but then he got nervous outside Teddy's house so he'd handed it to Billy to give to the boy instead.
Opening the passenger side door he gently lowered Teddy from his shoulders and placed him in the passenger seat, making sure he was buckled in securely before jumping into the back carriage of the truck. Jacob lifted his father out of his wheelchair and placing him in the middle seat, packing up the wheelchair and placing it in the back carriage with Paul before sitting in the driver's spot. Starting the truck he buckled up and drove off, Billy chatting animatedly next to him with Teddy who seemed to be bursting with excitement at the prospect of spending the night in the woods hunting and camping for the first time ever.
