p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The thing that hurts most is that I'll never be able to see my uncle Remus, my aunt Tonks, my friend Parvati, and so many other people that have died in the war. When Remus and Tonks died, I made a vow at their funeral that I would take care of Teddy as if he were my own, he is my godson after all./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"I've decided that a move would probably be best for Teddy and I. There are still people trying to get to me, paparazzi, fans, eligible bachelors... But not only are we moving because of that. We are also moving to a place where werewolves reside. On the battlefield, I was bitten by Fenrir Greyback. So now, Teddy and I are werewolves. I need to find another werewolf who can help us learn control. Not only did I get bitten, but I also kept the elder wand and my dad's cloak. The resurrection stone was placed in a high security vault at Gringotts. Only I can get in using my blood. Thank you Gringotts goblins./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"So I told the Weasleys, Hermione, and the remaining members of the Order what I decided and they understood. They all knew about me getting the bite and supported my decision on moving. So I took Teddy to 12 Grimmauld Place and packed our bags in a large trunk with magic. Thank Merlin the trunk had an Undetectable Extension Charm and a Weightless Charm. I placed a glamour on Teddy to hide his metamorphmagus powers, his hair changed from blue to sandy brown like Remus'./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The two of us went to the airport and I got us tickets to where we were moving to. Beacon Hills. The beacon town of the supernatural. I read all about the town and found that there were a lot more supernatural beings there. And I have a feeling that there is going to be a pack there willing to help us./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Getting on the plane, I give Teddy my old stuffed dog Padfoot that Sirius gave to me, it looked exactly like his animagus form. The plane took off and I was ready to start a new life in Beacon Hills, California./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px; text-align: center;"strong~~A Few Hour later~~/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The plane landed and I picked up a sleeping Teddy out of his seat. With the wheel extension on our trunk, I carried Teddy and rolled the trunk and walked to find a car rental area. I found one and luckily, you can also buy cars there./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hi I would like to buy a car." I said to the lady behind the desk. She looked at me and smiled./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Of course, do you have a certain one that you want?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Do you have any Camaro's?" I asked her./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""As a matter of fact, we do. There is one left, it's cherry red and only costs $### (I don't know how much they cost)."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'll take it." I gave her the money and got the keys. Walking out of the airport and to the car rental parking area, I found the Camaro I bought and put my trunk inside the trunk. Transfigurating my old place ticket into a carseat, I put Teddy in it in the backseat./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Getting in the front seat, I started the engine and began to drive to Beacon Hills. The drive only took a few hours, but I made it past the 'Welcome to Beacon Hills' sign. Hearing a yawn and a sneeze, I turn to see Teddy awake and playing with Padfoot./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Morning Teddy." I said looking in the rearview mirror./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Mornin' mummy." He said in a cute voice./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We're here in our new town. We just have to find a house of our own. Until then, wanna go around town and see if we can find other werewolves?" I ask him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah! Werewoof." He said excitedly. I smiled and continued driving. I drove around town to try and get familiar with the place. All the windows were rolled down./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"While driving around, a familiar scent of werewolf went through the air. "Smell." Teddy said. He could smell it too. I drove around more, following the scent. It led me to a huge building that looked abandoned. I cut the engine and hopped out, helping Teddy out too. He still had Padfoot in his left arm and I held his right hand. Climbing up the stairs, the scent got stronger. At the top, was a huge metal door. There was a huge button on the side and I pressed it. Using my wolf hearing, I heard a small alarm and heavy footsteps. Setting Teddy down and pushing him behind my legs, my right hand fingers were moving, ready to flick my wand out from my arm holster on my right forearm./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The metal door opened and I saw a tall man. He had black sex hair, a beard scruff, a muscular build, and a mysterious aura around him. When I looked into his eyes, I got lost in them. It's like everything in the world didn't matter anymore, except Teddy, it was just him. I wanted to be there for him no matter what. Hold him, touch him, care for him, protect him. I could feel an invisible thread link me to him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"strong"Mate!"/strong My wolf called. strong"He is our mate!"/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""You're a werewolf." He said, breaking me out of my stupor./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""So are you. I came here to find a pack that can help us learn control." I told him. He looked confused./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""'Us'?" Still holding Teddy's hand, I moved him out from behind my leg./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""This is my adopted son, Teddy. He was born a werewolf through his father, my uncle, who was bitten. The werewolf that bit him bit me, he's dead now." I said. "My name's Amara."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm Derek. And I am in a pack, but I'm not the alpha. Let me call him and he can bring the others. Come in." He stepped aside. I nodded and stepped inside the room. It was huge. There was an enormous window, but it wasn't as big as the one in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. There was a leather couch to the left side and a spiral staircase./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Something tells me that you're not only a werewolf." Derek says. I turn around and look him in the eye. "What are you?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"I flick my wrist and my wand lands in my hand. Holding it up, I show it to him. "I'm a witch." He nodded and pulled out his phone. I put my wand back in it's holster and knelt down to Teddy./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I hungry, mummy." He said. I reached into my pouch, also with an Undetectable Extension Charm, and pulled out a small box of Ritz crackers. He loves these things./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Here, eat your snack and don't make a mess." He smiled and ate the crackers./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""They'll be here in a little bit." Derek says. "So what? Did you just come here to learn control?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""No, I came here to start over. I'll explain once the rest of your pack arrives." He nods. And as if on cue, the door opens and in comes six teenagers./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hey Derek." Says a boy with dark hair, tan skin, and a crooked jaw. "Is this her?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah, guys this is Amara and her adopted son Teddy."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hi I'm Scott, this is my girlfriend Kira, my best friend Stiles, his girlfriend Malia, Lydia, and Liam."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""May I ask what each of you are? Because I can smell three of you as werewolves, but the other three, I don't know." I asked them./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Sure, I'm a werewolf and the alpha." He flashed his red eyes./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a kitsune." Kira said, flashing her eyes which were brownish amber./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a werecoyote." Malia said, flashing blue eyes. She must've killed someone innocent, but it must've been an accident./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a banshee." Lydia said. "I love your outfit." She commented. I was currently wearing a grey leather jacket with a white floral button down shirt with a black tank top underneath, dark wash jeans, and black ankle boots./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Thanks, I live yours too." I told her. She was wearing a white dress with floral lace designs, a brown belt around her waist, a denim three quarter sleeve jacket, and brown leather heels./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Uh I'm human, but before I was possessed by an evil spirit called a Nogitsune." Stiles said awkwardly./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a werewolf and Scott's beta." Liam said, flashing his gold eyes./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a werewolf and a witch. Teddy is a werewolf too, but he was born one and I was bitten." I waved my wand and took the glamour off of Teddy for a while. His hair changed from sandy brown to blue and then to yellow in happiness while he was eating his crackers. They all gaped but Stiles broke out of his stupor./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""That's kinda freaky." I turned to him and glared, adding a threatening growl. "I'll shut up now."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Well, you two better get ready, 'cause the full moons tonight." Derek said. I completely forgot./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Oh shit..." I mutter. "What do we have to do?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We just have to chain you up and all you have to do is find an anchor, someone or something to calm you down. If that doesn't work, we'll make you say a mantra. It worked on Liam." Scott says./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Okay."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Foo moon." I heard Teddy say. He just finished the pack and was now standing next to me, looking up at me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah little guy, tonight the full moon." I said, picking him up and resting him on my hip./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Do you guys have anywhere to stay?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""No not yet, Teddy and I just came into town about half an hour ago. My car is downstairs and so is all our stuff."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""You can stay here. I have extra rooms that you can sleep in." My mate suggests./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Oh no, I don't wanna be a bother."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I insist. Besides, you're gonna be here for the full moon."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"I sigh in defeat. "Okay. Thank you, Derek." When I said his name, my wolf growled. "I'll just go and grab my stuff."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'll come with you." Kira said. I gave her a thankful smile./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Teddy, I'll be back in a few minutes." I kissed his forehead. He scrunched his nose and giggled./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Kira and I walked downstairs and out of the building where I parked my car. I popped the trunk and pulled out my trunk. (Ha, funny!) "Wow, that is a big luggage."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah, I used it for when I went to school in Scotland. It was a magical boarding school called Hogwarts. I'll explain more when we go back inside." I lifted my trunk with ease and we walked back inside./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Once inside, we all sat down on the couch. First they told me their story, from when Scott was bitten to Derek becoming a shape-shifter. Even Derek told me his story. I listened intently and asked questions. Then it was my turn. I started with my life with the Dursleys. I swear, when I mentioned how they treated me, I heard Derek growl which kinda turned me on. Then I went on with first year when me, Hermione, and Ron found the sorcerer's stone, then when Ron and I went to the chamber of secrets in second year, meeting Sirius and Remus in third year, getting entered in the Tri-Wizard Tournament in fourth year, Umbridge taking over Hogwarts in fifth year; when I told this part I touched the scar on my hand that said 'I must not tell lies'; Dumbledore dying in sixth year, the wizarding world getting taken over by Voldemort and the Death Eaters, becoming a fugitive with Hermione and Ron, hunting horcruxes and destroying them, going back to Hogwarts, and now I'm telling them about the war. That was the part that hit me the hardest./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Professor McGonagall had a stone army appear from the gargoyles on the school walls. Then her and every other adult put up a powerful barrier around the entire school. When the Death Dealers showed up, a few of them hit the barrier and they turned to dust in the wind. Hermione and Ron went to the chamber of secrets while I went up to Dumbledore's office with Snape's memories. I put them in the pensieve and it showed me everything; he was best friends with my mother and he helped her understand that she was a witch. Then my mom fell in love with my dad and when they graduated, they got married and then had me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hermione and Ron were in the chamber of secrets to destroy a horcrux which was Helga Hufflepuffs cup. While they did that, I ran around the school and Luna told me that I had to speak with the ghost of Helena Ravenclaw, Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter. She gave me a riddle, telling me where her mother's diadem was. I found it in the Room of Requirements, but Draco, Blaise Zabini, and Goyle found me. Hermione and Ron came and chased them away. But Goyle had to be the idiot and set the whole bloody place on fire resulting in his death. Draco and Blaise climbed up the huge stacks of Hogwarts items while Ron, Hermione, and I found old broomsticks. We flew on them and got the other two out before they would be fried crisp./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hermione gave me a basilisk fang and I destroyed the diadem which was also a horcrux. Voldemort sent a message through everyone's minds, calling off the Death Dealers and saying that I should surrender myself to him or else everyone I care about dies. I did as he said and went out to the Forbidden Forest where he would be waiting. But before I went to him, I took out the snitch and kissed it. It opened and the Resurrection Stone floated out of it. I was able to see them again; my parents, Remus, and Sirius. My one last goodbye before I died. After I talked to them, I went to Voldemort. He hit me with the Killing Curse, but I didn't die./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I spoke to Dumbledore and he gave the choice to die and move on, or go back and fight Voldemort, save everyone. Obviously I chose to go back. Narcissa Malfoy, Draco's mother, was above me and knew I was alive. She asked me if Draco was alive and safe. Being a good person, I whispered that he was. Narcissa told the others that I was dead. Hagrid carried me while Voldemort led everyone back to Hogwarts. I don't completely remember his speech, but he said something about joining him and being free. I jumped out of Hagrids arms and ran, Voldemort kept throwing spells at me, but I easily dodged them. Before I could even register it, I felt a sharp pain in my hip and saw that Fenrir Greyback tackled me and bit me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I stunned him and threw him away. I walked back out to the courtyard where Voldemort and I dueled. The thing is, the Elder Wand never called to him. Yes, Snape killed Dumbledore who had the wand, but it was Draco who disarmed him the night he died. And when I disarmed him at Malfoy Manor, the Elder Wand then called for me. So I beat Voldemort and he turned to dust./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We won the war, but there was no cheering, no celebrating, no happiness. Only grief, anger. The casualties were wide in numbers. So many people were either injured or killed. Those dead included Colin Creevey, Parvati Patil, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, and so many people. The people I mentioned were either friends or family. Remus and Tonks were my aunt and uncle and Teddy's biological parents, Parvati was my friend, Colin was a friend, everyone I ever knew was either, dead, injured, or comatose./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Then I went to Tonks and Remus' bodies. Their hands were over the edge of their cots, but they weren't holding hands. I took their hands and joined them together. I took a blood oath that day that I would care and love for Teddy as if he were my own. Help him through his ups and downs, and protect him. That oath is sealed to this very day."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Tears fell from my eyes and my body shook a little. Teddy, sensing my distress, toddled over to me and climbed into my lap. I hugged him and cried silently. I saw Lydia and Kira crying and sobbing a little, Malia looking at me in sadness along with Stiles and Scott, Liam had tears falling, but was silent, and Derek looked at me with sorrow and understanding./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""That's why I came here with Teddy, to start over. And to find help to learn control. But I know when he turns eleven, he'll be going to Hogwarts. And I'll help him every step of the way." I say determined./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""And we'll help you." Scott said. "Every step of the way." He quoted me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Thank you." I look down to see Teddy asleep. Laughing lightly, I settle him down on the couch. "I'm gonna let him nap for a while."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'll take you to your room." Derek says. I nod and levitate my trunk with the wave of my wand, following him up the stairs. I swear, I thought I heard Scott, Stiles, and Liam say, "That is so cool."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Derek stopped at a door and opened to reveal a simple room with a queen sized bed with an all white bed set and a huge light grey duvet. There was a desk and two dressers that were painted black./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Thank you Derek. We just met today and you're already being so kind to Teddy and I."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's no problem. I'm just doing what I can to help." He says and walks out the room. I sigh and think about what just happened. Derek Hale is my mate. According to my wolf. I used magic to unpack some of Teddy and my clothes and took out my potion supplies. During my research, I found out that the wolfsbane that Remus used on a full moon was a different kind, it was like a sedative. But the wolfsbane that grows here can kill a werewolf./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"After unpacking, I changed into more comfortable clothing: black leggings and a tight black tank top with grey lace, it was kinda rectangular around the collar, so my black and white lace bra was showing. I didn't care. I grabbed my black moccasins and slipped those on. Pulling my hair into a ponytail, I walked back downstairs to put Teddy in the bed for a proper nap. I came down to see that they were all getting ready to leave./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We'll be back, Amara. We just have to tell our parents where we're gonna be." Kira told me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's fine. I know your parents will be worried." They smiled and left the loft. I turned to the couch where Teddy was still sleeping to see him sucking his thumb and hugging Padfoot close to him. Smiling, I carefully pick him up, so not to wake him up, and take him to our new room./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Taking off his jacket and shoes, I place him on the bed and cover his body with the duvet. I kissed his forehead and whispered, "I love you Teddy. With all my heart." I tip toed out the room and turned off the light, shutting the door and walking back downstairs./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Derek was sitting on the couch with his hands folded. "I'm sorry you went through all that." He says. I sit across from him on the other couch./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's okay. I moved on. Teddy, the Weasleys, and Hermione are the ones who helped me and kept me going. They never gave up on me." I paused and remembered the look he gave me after I finished my story. "Derek, after I told you everything, why did you give me a look of understanding?" He tensed then sighed./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""My family died in a fire caused by Kate. The only ones who survived were me, Laura, Peter, and Cora. We left Beacon Hills for a while, then Laura went back to check on things. When I didn't hear from her in a long time, I went back too, only to find that she was murdered. Peter was in a coma at the time and I didn't know Cora was alive. And you know the rest of the story." He said. Now I get it./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm sorry." I say softly./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's okay. I moved on." He quotes me with a grin. I smile and laugh lightly. I'm already getting to know my mate. I wonder if he can feel the connection./p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The thing that hurts most is that I'll never be able to see my uncle Remus, my aunt Tonks, my friend Parvati, and so many other people that have died in the war. When Remus and Tonks died, I made a vow at their funeral that I would take care of Teddy as if he were my own, he is my godson after all./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"I've decided that a move would probably be best for Teddy and I. There are still people trying to get to me, paparazzi, fans, eligible bachelors... But not only are we moving because of that. We are also moving to a place where werewolves reside. On the battlefield, I was bitten by Fenrir Greyback. So now, Teddy and I are werewolves. I need to find another werewolf who can help us learn control. Not only did I get bitten, but I also kept the elder wand and my dad's cloak. The resurrection stone was placed in a high security vault at Gringotts. Only I can get in using my blood. Thank you Gringotts goblins./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"So I told the Weasleys, Hermione, and the remaining members of the Order what I decided and they understood. They all knew about me getting the bite and supported my decision on moving. So I took Teddy to 12 Grimmauld Place and packed our bags in a large trunk with magic. Thank Merlin the trunk had an Undetectable Extension Charm and a Weightless Charm. I placed a glamour on Teddy to hide his metamorphmagus powers, his hair changed from blue to sandy brown like Remus'./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The two of us went to the airport and I got us tickets to where we were moving to. Beacon Hills. The beacon town of the supernatural. I read all about the town and found that there were a lot more supernatural beings there. And I have a feeling that there is going to be a pack there willing to help us./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Getting on the plane, I give Teddy my old stuffed dog Padfoot that Sirius gave to me, it looked exactly like his animagus form. The plane took off and I was ready to start a new life in Beacon Hills, California./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px; text-align: center;"strong~~A Few Hour later~~/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The plane landed and I picked up a sleeping Teddy out of his seat. With the wheel extension on our trunk, I carried Teddy and rolled the trunk and walked to find a car rental area. I found one and luckily, you can also buy cars there./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hi I would like to buy a car." I said to the lady behind the desk. She looked at me and smiled./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Of course, do you have a certain one that you want?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Do you have any Camaro's?" I asked her./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""As a matter of fact, we do. There is one left, it's cherry red and only costs $### (I don't know how much they cost)."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'll take it." I gave her the money and got the keys. Walking out of the airport and to the car rental parking area, I found the Camaro I bought and put my trunk inside the trunk. Transfigurating my old place ticket into a carseat, I put Teddy in it in the backseat./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Getting in the front seat, I started the engine and began to drive to Beacon Hills. The drive only took a few hours, but I made it past the 'Welcome to Beacon Hills' sign. Hearing a yawn and a sneeze, I turn to see Teddy awake and playing with Padfoot./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Morning Teddy." I said looking in the rearview mirror./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Mornin' mummy." He said in a cute voice./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We're here in our new town. We just have to find a house of our own. Until then, wanna go around town and see if we can find other werewolves?" I ask him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah! Werewoof." He said excitedly. I smiled and continued driving. I drove around town to try and get familiar with the place. All the windows were rolled down./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"While driving around, a familiar scent of werewolf went through the air. "Smell." Teddy said. He could smell it too. I drove around more, following the scent. It led me to a huge building that looked abandoned. I cut the engine and hopped out, helping Teddy out too. He still had Padfoot in his left arm and I held his right hand. Climbing up the stairs, the scent got stronger. At the top, was a huge metal door. There was a huge button on the side and I pressed it. Using my wolf hearing, I heard a small alarm and heavy footsteps. Setting Teddy down and pushing him behind my legs, my right hand fingers were moving, ready to flick my wand out from my arm holster on my right forearm./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"The metal door opened and I saw a tall man. He had black sex hair, a beard scruff, a muscular build, and a mysterious aura around him. When I looked into his eyes, I got lost in them. It's like everything in the world didn't matter anymore, except Teddy, it was just him. I wanted to be there for him no matter what. Hold him, touch him, care for him, protect him. I could feel an invisible thread link me to him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"strong"Mate!"/strong My wolf called. strong"He is our mate!"/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""You're a werewolf." He said, breaking me out of my stupor./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""So are you. I came here to find a pack that can help us learn control." I told him. He looked confused./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""'Us'?" Still holding Teddy's hand, I moved him out from behind my leg./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""This is my adopted son, Teddy. He was born a werewolf through his father, my uncle, who was bitten. The werewolf that bit him bit me, he's dead now." I said. "My name's Amara."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm Derek. And I am in a pack, but I'm not the alpha. Let me call him and he can bring the others. Come in." He stepped aside. I nodded and stepped inside the room. It was huge. There was an enormous window, but it wasn't as big as the one in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. There was a leather couch to the left side and a spiral staircase./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Something tells me that you're not only a werewolf." Derek says. I turn around and look him in the eye. "What are you?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"I flick my wrist and my wand lands in my hand. Holding it up, I show it to him. "I'm a witch." He nodded and pulled out his phone. I put my wand back in it's holster and knelt down to Teddy./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I hungry, mummy." He said. I reached into my pouch, also with an Undetectable Extension Charm, and pulled out a small box of Ritz crackers. He loves these things./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Here, eat your snack and don't make a mess." He smiled and ate the crackers./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""They'll be here in a little bit." Derek says. "So what? Did you just come here to learn control?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""No, I came here to start over. I'll explain once the rest of your pack arrives." He nods. And as if on cue, the door opens and in comes six teenagers./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hey Derek." Says a boy with dark hair, tan skin, and a crooked jaw. "Is this her?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah, guys this is Amara and her adopted son Teddy."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hi I'm Scott, this is my girlfriend Kira, my best friend Stiles, his girlfriend Malia, Lydia, and Liam."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""May I ask what each of you are? Because I can smell three of you as werewolves, but the other three, I don't know." I asked them./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Sure, I'm a werewolf and the alpha." He flashed his red eyes./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a kitsune." Kira said, flashing her eyes which were brownish amber./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a werecoyote." Malia said, flashing blue eyes. She must've killed someone innocent, but it must've been an accident./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a banshee." Lydia said. "I love your outfit." She commented. I was currently wearing a grey leather jacket with a white floral button down shirt with a black tank top underneath, dark wash jeans, and black ankle boots./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Thanks, I live yours too." I told her. She was wearing a white dress with floral lace designs, a brown belt around her waist, a denim three quarter sleeve jacket, and brown leather heels./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Uh I'm human, but before I was possessed by an evil spirit called a Nogitsune." Stiles said awkwardly./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a werewolf and Scott's beta." Liam said, flashing his gold eyes./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm a werewolf and a witch. Teddy is a werewolf too, but he was born one and I was bitten." I waved my wand and took the glamour off of Teddy for a while. His hair changed from sandy brown to blue and then to yellow in happiness while he was eating his crackers. They all gaped but Stiles broke out of his stupor./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""That's kinda freaky." I turned to him and glared, adding a threatening growl. "I'll shut up now."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Well, you two better get ready, 'cause the full moons tonight." Derek said. I completely forgot./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Oh shit..." I mutter. "What do we have to do?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We just have to chain you up and all you have to do is find an anchor, someone or something to calm you down. If that doesn't work, we'll make you say a mantra. It worked on Liam." Scott says./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Okay."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Foo moon." I heard Teddy say. He just finished the pack and was now standing next to me, looking up at me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah little guy, tonight the full moon." I said, picking him up and resting him on my hip./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Do you guys have anywhere to stay?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""No not yet, Teddy and I just came into town about half an hour ago. My car is downstairs and so is all our stuff."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""You can stay here. I have extra rooms that you can sleep in." My mate suggests./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Oh no, I don't wanna be a bother."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I insist. Besides, you're gonna be here for the full moon."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"I sigh in defeat. "Okay. Thank you, Derek." When I said his name, my wolf growled. "I'll just go and grab my stuff."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'll come with you." Kira said. I gave her a thankful smile./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Teddy, I'll be back in a few minutes." I kissed his forehead. He scrunched his nose and giggled./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Kira and I walked downstairs and out of the building where I parked my car. I popped the trunk and pulled out my trunk. (Ha, funny!) "Wow, that is a big luggage."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Yeah, I used it for when I went to school in Scotland. It was a magical boarding school called Hogwarts. I'll explain more when we go back inside." I lifted my trunk with ease and we walked back inside./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Once inside, we all sat down on the couch. First they told me their story, from when Scott was bitten to Derek becoming a shape-shifter. Even Derek told me his story. I listened intently and asked questions. Then it was my turn. I started with my life with the Dursleys. I swear, when I mentioned how they treated me, I heard Derek growl which kinda turned me on. Then I went on with first year when me, Hermione, and Ron found the sorcerer's stone, then when Ron and I went to the chamber of secrets in second year, meeting Sirius and Remus in third year, getting entered in the Tri-Wizard Tournament in fourth year, Umbridge taking over Hogwarts in fifth year; when I told this part I touched the scar on my hand that said 'I must not tell lies'; Dumbledore dying in sixth year, the wizarding world getting taken over by Voldemort and the Death Eaters, becoming a fugitive with Hermione and Ron, hunting horcruxes and destroying them, going back to Hogwarts, and now I'm telling them about the war. That was the part that hit me the hardest./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Professor McGonagall had a stone army appear from the gargoyles on the school walls. Then her and every other adult put up a powerful barrier around the entire school. When the Death Dealers showed up, a few of them hit the barrier and they turned to dust in the wind. Hermione and Ron went to the chamber of secrets while I went up to Dumbledore's office with Snape's memories. I put them in the pensieve and it showed me everything; he was best friends with my mother and he helped her understand that she was a witch. Then my mom fell in love with my dad and when they graduated, they got married and then had me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hermione and Ron were in the chamber of secrets to destroy a horcrux which was Helga Hufflepuffs cup. While they did that, I ran around the school and Luna told me that I had to speak with the ghost of Helena Ravenclaw, Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter. She gave me a riddle, telling me where her mother's diadem was. I found it in the Room of Requirements, but Draco, Blaise Zabini, and Goyle found me. Hermione and Ron came and chased them away. But Goyle had to be the idiot and set the whole bloody place on fire resulting in his death. Draco and Blaise climbed up the huge stacks of Hogwarts items while Ron, Hermione, and I found old broomsticks. We flew on them and got the other two out before they would be fried crisp./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Hermione gave me a basilisk fang and I destroyed the diadem which was also a horcrux. Voldemort sent a message through everyone's minds, calling off the Death Dealers and saying that I should surrender myself to him or else everyone I care about dies. I did as he said and went out to the Forbidden Forest where he would be waiting. But before I went to him, I took out the snitch and kissed it. It opened and the Resurrection Stone floated out of it. I was able to see them again; my parents, Remus, and Sirius. My one last goodbye before I died. After I talked to them, I went to Voldemort. He hit me with the Killing Curse, but I didn't die./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I spoke to Dumbledore and he gave the choice to die and move on, or go back and fight Voldemort, save everyone. Obviously I chose to go back. Narcissa Malfoy, Draco's mother, was above me and knew I was alive. She asked me if Draco was alive and safe. Being a good person, I whispered that he was. Narcissa told the others that I was dead. Hagrid carried me while Voldemort led everyone back to Hogwarts. I don't completely remember his speech, but he said something about joining him and being free. I jumped out of Hagrids arms and ran, Voldemort kept throwing spells at me, but I easily dodged them. Before I could even register it, I felt a sharp pain in my hip and saw that Fenrir Greyback tackled me and bit me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I stunned him and threw him away. I walked back out to the courtyard where Voldemort and I dueled. The thing is, the Elder Wand never called to him. Yes, Snape killed Dumbledore who had the wand, but it was Draco who disarmed him the night he died. And when I disarmed him at Malfoy Manor, the Elder Wand then called for me. So I beat Voldemort and he turned to dust./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We won the war, but there was no cheering, no celebrating, no happiness. Only grief, anger. The casualties were wide in numbers. So many people were either injured or killed. Those dead included Colin Creevey, Parvati Patil, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, and so many people. The people I mentioned were either friends or family. Remus and Tonks were my aunt and uncle and Teddy's biological parents, Parvati was my friend, Colin was a friend, everyone I ever knew was either, dead, injured, or comatose./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Then I went to Tonks and Remus' bodies. Their hands were over the edge of their cots, but they weren't holding hands. I took their hands and joined them together. I took a blood oath that day that I would care and love for Teddy as if he were my own. Help him through his ups and downs, and protect him. That oath is sealed to this very day."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Tears fell from my eyes and my body shook a little. Teddy, sensing my distress, toddled over to me and climbed into my lap. I hugged him and cried silently. I saw Lydia and Kira crying and sobbing a little, Malia looking at me in sadness along with Stiles and Scott, Liam had tears falling, but was silent, and Derek looked at me with sorrow and understanding./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""That's why I came here with Teddy, to start over. And to find help to learn control. But I know when he turns eleven, he'll be going to Hogwarts. And I'll help him every step of the way." I say determined./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""And we'll help you." Scott said. "Every step of the way." He quoted me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Thank you." I look down to see Teddy asleep. Laughing lightly, I settle him down on the couch. "I'm gonna let him nap for a while."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'll take you to your room." Derek says. I nod and levitate my trunk with the wave of my wand, following him up the stairs. I swear, I thought I heard Scott, Stiles, and Liam say, "That is so cool."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Derek stopped at a door and opened to reveal a simple room with a queen sized bed with an all white bed set and a huge light grey duvet. There was a desk and two dressers that were painted black./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""Thank you Derek. We just met today and you're already being so kind to Teddy and I."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's no problem. I'm just doing what I can to help." He says and walks out the room. I sigh and think about what just happened. Derek Hale is my mate. According to my wolf. I used magic to unpack some of Teddy and my clothes and took out my potion supplies. During my research, I found out that the wolfsbane that Remus used on a full moon was a different kind, it was like a sedative. But the wolfsbane that grows here can kill a werewolf./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"After unpacking, I changed into more comfortable clothing: black leggings and a tight black tank top with grey lace, it was kinda rectangular around the collar, so my black and white lace bra was showing. I didn't care. I grabbed my black moccasins and slipped those on. Pulling my hair into a ponytail, I walked back downstairs to put Teddy in the bed for a proper nap. I came down to see that they were all getting ready to leave./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""We'll be back, Amara. We just have to tell our parents where we're gonna be." Kira told me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's fine. I know your parents will be worried." They smiled and left the loft. I turned to the couch where Teddy was still sleeping to see him sucking his thumb and hugging Padfoot close to him. Smiling, I carefully pick him up, so not to wake him up, and take him to our new room./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Taking off his jacket and shoes, I place him on the bed and cover his body with the duvet. I kissed his forehead and whispered, "I love you Teddy. With all my heart." I tip toed out the room and turned off the light, shutting the door and walking back downstairs./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;"Derek was sitting on the couch with his hands folded. "I'm sorry you went through all that." He says. I sit across from him on the other couch./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's okay. I moved on. Teddy, the Weasleys, and Hermione are the ones who helped me and kept me going. They never gave up on me." I paused and remembered the look he gave me after I finished my story. "Derek, after I told you everything, why did you give me a look of understanding?" He tensed then sighed./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""My family died in a fire caused by Kate. The only ones who survived were me, Laura, Peter, and Cora. We left Beacon Hills for a while, then Laura went back to check on things. When I didn't hear from her in a long time, I went back too, only to find that she was murdered. Peter was in a coma at the time and I didn't know Cora was alive. And you know the rest of the story." He said. Now I get it./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""I'm sorry." I say softly./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11.2px;""It's okay. I moved on." He quotes me with a grin. I smile and laugh lightly. I'm already getting to know my mate. I wonder if he can feel the connection./p
