(U)Chapter Eight(U)

"Why do you want Jake's number?" Bella asked as she sat on Draco's bed with the blond teen, Harry and little Teddy. The teens were each sat on one edge of the bed facing inwards, keeping an eye on Teddy as he played happily in the centre of the large bed with his muggle Teddy bear, the only one he owned that didn't come to life when he played with it.

"He said I could take Teddy over to see him but I don't want to turn up un-announced," Harry explained, playing with Teddy's wavy hair. Thankfully it was still his natural light brown colour, Teddy remembering not to change in front of Bella.

"Oh," Bella mumbled in understanding, pulling out her phone and scrolling through her contacts list. "Here." She handed it over to Harry who pulled out his own mobile phone, purchased a few days before, and carefully added Jacob's number to his contacts list.

"Thanks," Harry smiled, giving the phone back.

"He probably won't answer though," Bella muttered sullenly.

"What do you mean Bella?" Draco asked.

"He's been avoiding me," Bella explained sadly, "Making excuses and getting his dad to make excuses. Although he might answer for you thinking about it, it's probably just me he's avoiding."

"I don't believe that," Draco shook his head.

"I do," Bella said sadly, "He's changed since I introduced you to him."

Draco and Harry shared a look; yeah they knew he'd changed. He was a werewolf and if his change in behaviour meant what they thought it meant he was a new one. That hadn't come up when they talked the other night.

"I'd best go," Bella sighed, getting up slowly to make sure that Teddy didn't fall off the bed when she moved. Harry appreciated the care she took and pulled Teddy into his lap, the little boy grumbling slightly at the sudden restriction to his playing. "See you later."

"See you around," Harry smiled at her, "Say bye to Bella, Teddy."

"Bye," Teddy obeyed, waving as he always did. Bella waved back.

"Bye Bella," Draco said, smiling at her as she left his room, walking slowly down the stairs, "If he hurts her I will kill him, werewolf or not, your crush or not."

"He's not my crush," Harry defended himself. Draco raised a perfect eyebrow at him. "Ok maybe a little but…"

"But nothing," Draco shrugged, "I saw you staring at his bum."

"Does that mean you were staring too?" Harry demanded, a sudden jealousy coursing through him. Jacob was his…no…no he wasn't…what was he thinking?

"No. I was watching you funnily enough," Draco told him. "Call him."

"Now?" Harry asked.

"No, in fifteen years time," Draco muttered sarcastically, picking Teddy out of Harry's arms in a move that was becoming far too natural. So much for his suspicions of not being good with kids, "Best to get it over and done with if he's being as strange as Bella says."

"He was fine with us," Harry defended.

"Fine?" Draco asked.

"Ok, not fine. I mean he was little…stressed but…you know he wasn't mean or anything," Harry said softly. Draco's eyebrow rose once more. "It's really creepy when you do that." Harry grumbled as he opened his phone again, scrolling down to find Jacob's recently added number and pressing the green button. "Here goes."

The phone was picked up after five rings.

"Hello? Who is this?" Jacob's voice sounded a little different over the phone.

"Hey Jacob, it's Harry," Harry said brightly.

"Oh. Um…hi Harry," Jacob suddenly sounded rather awkward now and that started the little alarm bells going off in Harry's head. He was suddenly thankful the Draco had carried Teddy over to the window to watch Bella go, in effect giving him a moment of privacy to make his call.

"I got your number off of Bella, hope you don't mind. It's just I didn't want to turn up at yours unannounced and Teddy's been asking to see his Alpha," Harry explained, smiling to himself. Teddy had been repeating the word Alpha over and over again since the day he'd met Jacob. "So I was wondering if we could pop round and see you today?"

"Um…well…today's not so good so good for me," Jacob mumbled.

"Ok. What about tomorrow?" Harry suggested.

"No," Jacob said shortly," Tomorrow's no good either." Harry gave up hiding the frown from his face as he sat tensely on the bed. "Look I should be honest with you, the situation has changed a little bit since we spoke the other night."

"Oh? How so?" Harry asked softly. Distantly he heard the roar of Bella's truck as she drove away and noticed that Draco, Teddy holding in his arms, was perched on the windowsill and watching him from across the room.

"It's too dangerous for you to be around us," that stunned Harry. Did Jacob not remember who he was? Or more importantly what he was?

"Why? We know what you are and you now know what we are. And like we said that night we are perfectly capable of defending ourselves should the need arise," Harry would have said more but Jacob interrupted, his voice sounding pained,

"No. It's too dangerous. Look we're new to this, the only one of us that can really control it is Sam, he's been one the longest and he hurt Emily and…I can't hurt you." Harry's frown was deep enough to actually hurt his face. Jacob sounded truly torn about this. "I won't hurt you. You don't deserve that and even though…even though I…no…I'm sorry Harry."

And then he just hung up.

Harry sat there, stunned and confused listening to the loud tone in his ear until Draco walked over and took the phone away from Harry, closing it and ending the call from his end. Teddy was silent with worry, his big eyes staring at his daddy.

"Harry?" Draco asked, perching beside him on the bed, "What is it?"

"Jacob doesn't want to be our friend any more," Harry said monotonously.

"Did he say why?" Draco asked, trying to control the anger growing inside of him. What was it with the Dark Creatures of Forks and hurting people? Teddy looked from his daddy to his new uncle in silence, sucking on the ear of his teddy bear as he held it tightly in his hands.

"Apparently he's just realised it's too dangerous," Harry said softly, "That he doesn't want to risk hurting me. That he won't hurt me."

(I)…how easily I lost control. That is why I am leaving you now, to protect you, protect from me. The killer.(I)

The words of the letter seemed to pound against the inside of his skull and he closed his eyes against the pain and the anger they brought forth. Jasper had left him because he didn't believe he could defend himself, had hurt him to keep him safe…had broken his heart…well Draco would be damned if he was going to let that happen to Harry. If anyone in the world deserved to find true love, no matter who or what it might be with, it was Harry Potter.

"That idiot," he growled, putting Teddy in the centre of the bed as he stood up and began to pace angrily in front of Harry, "That stupid…stupid mutt! Doesn't he know anything about wizards?"

"Obviously not," Harry mumbled, an utter sadness filling his beautiful eyes as each second passed and that hardened Draco's already hard heart.

"Well then we'll just have show him," Draco said calmly.

"How?" Harry asked, looking up at Draco and for an instance the saviour of the Wizarding world looked at young as his godson.

"Harry, who stopped the Dark Lord getting his hands on the Philosopher's stone?" Draco asked lightly.

"Me," Harry mumbled.

"Yeah, you. When you were eleven," Draco emphasised the age. "And who found the Chamber of Secrets, defeated the monster and managed to save the damsel in distress all without the aid of a safety net?"

"Me…"

"Yeah, at twelve," Draco said loudly, "And who tried to take on an uncontrolled werewolf who from what my Godfather said was very hungry, a criminal that wasn't really a criminal but everyone thought was a criminal and a rat who was a wizard and a criminal in disguise at thirteen?"

"Me…"

"And who won the Tri-Wizard Tournament at fourteen?"

"Well me…"

"And who went all the way to the department of mysteries to fight the Dark Lord and his followers at fifteen?"

"Me but…

"And who defeated the most powerful dark wizard that the world has ever known, saving hundreds if not thousands of lives?"

"Me but Draco…"

"Yes. You. And there's no but about it. Granger might be the smartest witch of the time but you, you are the bravest and the luckiest and the most popular and…well…you're the best wizard or our time," Draco said passionately, dropping to his knees in front of Harry.

"No I'm not…" Harry shook his head.

"Hey. No arguing with me when I'm on a role," Draco snapped light heartedly, earning a ghost of a smile from Harry, "You are the best wizard of our time and one of the most powerful wizards there has ever been. If anyone can convince a hard headed werewolf/shape shifter that you can look after yourself it's you." Draco was amazingly calm as he said this. "Ok?"

"O-Ok…"

"Good," Draco smiled brightly, "And don't worry Harry, we'll help you won't we Teddy?" He looked towards the little boy who removed the teddy bear from his long enough to echo loudly,

"Help!"

"Ok, man with the plan," Harry said softly, looking at Draco with a little less heartbreak in his eyes and a lot more hope, "What do you suggest we do?"

And so the planning began.

The following day Draco was doing his homework when the house phone rang. His parents were out doing the food shop and Harry was giving Teddy a bath, the little boys excited screams filling the house along with the loud splashing of water. And so he knew he was the only one who could answer the phone. Running down the stairs he snatched up the handset, just in time apparently.

"Hello, Malfoy residence," he said quickly.

"Draco? Hi, it's Chief Swan…er Charlie, Bella's dad."

"Hello Chief Swan," Draco had not been expecting this particular caller. "Do you need to speak to my parents?"

"No, it's you I wanted to speak to," Charlie said softly on the other end of the phone, "Do you know what's going on between Bella and Jacob? Only I thought they were getting close, like best buddies or something but now…has he hurt her?"

"What?" Draco asked worriedly.

"Billy called, told me they'd argued but Bella said…well…do you know anything about this business with Sam Uley?" Charlie asked.

"The gang leader?" Draco asked, "Only what Bella's told me. I've never met any of them, the gang that is. But she said once Jacob was really scared of them." Of course he was lying about not meeting them but he couldn't very well tell the very human Chief of Police that he'd met them in the forest in their wolf forms could he?

"Yeah, Bella said he'd told Jacob he couldn't be friends with her any more," Charlie murmured, almost to himself.

"Is she ok?" Draco asked softly.

"She looked like when Edwin left," Charlie growled and Draco couldn't tell if the man had got the vampires name wrong on purpose or not. "Look you obviously don't know anything. I'll call Billy; see what he has to say. But Draco, if you could maybe talk to Bella sometime…"

"Of course," Draco agreed quickly.

"Thanks. Bye," he hung up and Draco leaned against the wall with a frown. Sam Uley had told Jacob he couldn't be friends with Bella any more. Could that mean he'd also told Jacob not to be friends with them any more, with Harry? Maybe the still being planned confrontation and demonstration would be more easily received than he'd expected.

He returned upstairs but instead of going back to his yawn inspiring homework he stepped into the bathroom and couldn't help letting out a loud laugh. Harry was as wet as Teddy only he was still wearing clothes.

"Not funny," Harry growled at him, "This little monster thinks it's funny to-" He was cut off when the little monster in the bath used both hands to splash an impressive amount of water in Harry's face.

"It is funny," Draco said in approval. Teddy laughed and clapped.

"Who was on the phone?" Harry asked, changing the subject as he tried to rub the soft flannel, frothy with soap up and down Teddy's back.

"Bella's dad," Draco said, putting the lid of the toilet down and perching on it. Harry frowned over at him. "Yeah I know, unexpected. He says Jacob and Bella have fallen out. Wanted to know if I knew anything."

"Oh?" Harry asked softly.

"Yeah. Apparently Jacob told Bella that he couldn't be here friend any more. Sound familiar?" Draco asked.

"Yeah," Harry muttered.

"But he also told her that it was Sam Uley who told him he couldn't be friends with her," Draco delivered the sort of good news calmly.

"The alpha," Harry mumbled.

"Yup," Draco nodded, "What do you want to bet he said the same thing about us." Harry dropped the flannel into the water and began, almost robotically to use the little cup on the floor beside him to rinse off Teddy's soapy skin.

"He did sound very reluctant," Harry finally murmured after a few moments of silence, "When he told me that…"

"He wants to be friends," Draco said. He didn't say what he was really thinking of course - (I)"He wants to be more than friends with you."(I). "So when our C and D arrives…"

"C and D?" Harry asked with a frown as he stepped back from the tub, pulling off his dripping shirt before drying himself with one of the towels on the rail.

"Confrontation and Demonstration," Draco explained.

"Oh yeah, C and D is easier," Harry said in understanding as he lifted little Teddy out of the bath, the boy going reluctantly despite the slight chill of the water now after having been in it for so long and wrapped another huge towel around him, almost covering him up completely. In fact for a moment all Draco could see of him were the hairs sticking about madly on the top of his little head.

"So when our C and D arrives it should be easier than we thought to convince him that it is possible for us to be friends," Draco said confidently.

"Not if his Alpha's commanded it," Harry said softly, gently rubbing Teddy's skin dry and making Teddy giggle so much he missed an opportunity to say his favourite word. Alpha of course.

"Huh?" Draco asked with a frown.

"Honestly, didn't you listen in Defence Against The Dark Arts?" Harry asked with an exasperated sigh.

"No. But neither did you," Draco pointed out.

"No but Hermione did and she told me everything later, many times in fact," Harry chuckled, "The point that I remember is that when an Alpha wolf gives an order to the pact in the form of a command the pack literally cannot refuse. It's a magical force, like a werewolf imperious curse only without the cursing."

"Ah," Draco muttered.

"Ah indeed," Harry agreed, wrapping the towel tightly around Teddy now that he was dry and picking him up. "Time for pyjama's, bedtime story and bed little man," he said the squirming two year old.

"No!" Teddy cried, "No bed! No bed!"

"Teddy," Harry warned, "No tantrums."

"No bed!" Teddy complained, the beginning of what Harry knew from experience would be a long and whiny tantrum just like every other night he decided he didn't want to go to bed.

"I'll get him settled then I'll come up and we can chat. You're parents should be home soon anyway," Harry said, easily holding the now crying child.

"Good luck," Draco said, turning into his room as Harry walked down the stairs, telling Teddy to calm down and that all little boys had to go to bed when it was their bedtime. "Was I ever like that?" he asked himself as he sat back down to face his homework once more. Thinking about it he chuckled to himself and muttered, "No, I was probably worse."

It was a full half an hour before the house was silent once more and Harry came up to Draco's room, sitting on Draco's bed and flopping back with a tired sigh. Teddy was a handful but Draco knew Harry would never change him, not for anything in the world. And he'd certainly never give him up.

"So what are you doing?" Harry asked.

"English Literature," Draco growled, "Some stupid muggle wrote a stupid book and I have to write a stupid essay that's in for tomorrow."

"Wow, sounds…stupid," Harry muttered.

"Oh it is," Draco muttered.

"What book?" Harry asked.

"Wuthering Heights," Draco grumbled.

"I like that book," Harry said.

"I don't."

"There are worse books," Harry pointed out.

"Yes, but I don't have to write an essay on them do I?" Draco muttered.

"No, that's true," Harry shrugged.

The minutes ticked by as the two boys sat in comfortable silence, Teddy's little snores amplified by the spell that worked as a sort of baby monitor only without having to carry around the little plastic box. Draco shut his book triumphantly when he finished the conclusion and shook out his hand, his hand cramping up from the sheer amount of writing he had just done. But then again it was his own fault, he had left it to the last minute again…

"What was that?" Harry asked, sitting up on Draco's bed.

"What?" Draco asked, turning around in his seat to frown at his friend.

"I heard something," Harry said quickly.

"It was probably Teddy," Draco shrugged and began to put his things back into his school bag. However he too heard the tapping this time and it definitely wasn't Teddy. "Ok, I heard it that time."

"What is it?" Harry asked, drawing out his wand. Draco got up and walked to the bedside cabinet, picking up his wand from it's home.

"There it is again," Draco said, pointing his wand towards the window, "It's coming from the window." Moving as one both teens took a few steps towards the window, peering at the dark glass. There was something there. "You petrify it, I'll open the window."

"Ok," Harry agreed to the plan.

Draco said the spell loudly and clearly and the force he put behind it threw open the window much faster than a human could, almost shattering the glass.

(I)"Petrificus Totalus!"(I) Harry cried and the figure who had yelped in shock and began to let go of the outside window ledge froze in place. (I)"Wingardium Leviosa,"(I) Harry cast the spell calmly and the figure floated up a few inches and into the room, it's knees knocking against the window frame painfully. As it floated in the light revealed just who had been spying on them and tapping on the window,

"Jacob?"

A/N I tried really hard not to make that last bit like when he visit's Bella in the book, really, really hard. I wrote some of this when I was in France, sitting in the back of a world war two truck…lol. Hope you liked it.
