Author's Note: For the sake of this story Jacob did not imprint on Renesmee and there is no Breaking Dawn part two. Jake still left the pack with Leah and Seth but when Renesmee was born instead of the two packs fighting it was determined that she was not a threat and the two packs made up and merged into one again. I hope you enjoy.
Seth POV
Well I can honestly say I never would have believed something like this could be real. Then again there was a time I thought turning into a wolf the size of a horse was impossible too so if that's real why not this.
Maybe I should explain what the heck I'm talking about. My name is Seth Clearwater I'm fifteen years old and I'm a shape shifter, a wolf shape shifter to be exact. After Bella had her baby and was turned into a vampire we found out that Renesmee wasn't a threat and Sam backed off. After that Jacob finally got some sense and got over Bella and the two packs merged again and Jake gave up his new position of alpha to Sam after deciding he had to interest in leading a pack. Anyway after all that mess was cleared up everything went back to normal for a while and not long after all the drama died down, the Cullens moved again. That's when the owl showed up.
No joke an actual owl came knocking on the window to Sam's house when the pack was over for dinner. Emily finally sent someone to go see what was knocking against the window and when Paul opened it the owl flew right over his head just barely missing him and landed on the table in front of Sam and then stuck out it's leg which had, of all things, a letter tied to it.
Now here's where things get really crazy. Sam takes the letter from the bird and unties it, at which point the owl hops across the table and takes the roll Brady had in his hand when he froze from shock when the bird initially flew in. The letter is from this guy named Albus Dumbledore and it explains all about witches and wizards and the wizarding world. So this Dumbledore guy tells us he's actually a wizard himself and he's heard about us shape shifters and that he knows about our transformation and wants to offer us a position at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry as extra protection for the students or something like that and said that the owl would wait for us to respond.
So the next thing you know all the elders are at Sam and Emily's place too and we're all discussing this. Billy mentions vaguely knowing about witches and wizards and basically confirms the letter is legit and he has some distant cousin in London or something who actually come from a wizarding family but he hasn't heard from any of them in years.
Now that we know this isn't all some huge joke and nobody took the time to train and owl just to mess with us, even though that would be a pretty good prank. Well, I for one thought it was a cool idea and was all for going and I wasn't the only one who thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and was all for it. Some of the others however not so much. We needed some people to stay back in case any vampires or anything actually did happen to come around, even though we hadn't seen any since the Cullens left but we couldn't leave the reservation unprotected. In the end it was decided that Quill (who didn't want to be separated from his imprint Claire). Colin, Brady, and Jared would stay behind and Sam, Emily, Leah, Jake, Paul, Embry, and I would go to Hogwarts- and, what Jake pointed out was probably against Sam's better judgement, Quil would be in charge of the younger boys until they got back.
So we send a letter back telling the headmaster of Hogwarts (that's Dumbledore) that we accept and the owl flies off after taking a potato from Jake's plate with it.
A few days later another owl comes and brings us a letter explaining how we're going to get there and when and all that. The next day Dumbledore came himself through the fireplace! He used this thing called floo powder and said it's one of the forms of magical transportation. Cool right? So he takes us to Hogwarts and let's us get settled in then he gives us a tour and introduces us to the teachers, that Snape guy is creepy. We had a week to get used to the castle before the students came back for school and we were all pretty good with getting around but the moving staircases still get us lost sometimes.
So that leads us to where we are now, in the great hall of Howarts school while all the second through seventh year students are walking in and taking seats at their house tables. There was a lot of people pointing at us and whispering. That's kind of expected though considering there are suddenly seven new people sitting in here that none of these kids have ever seen before. Dumbledore explained to us how there are four houses; Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Anyway they all walk in and Dumbledore walks up to the podium at the front of the head table and welcomes the students back then calls for McGonagall to bring in the fourth years so that they can be sorted. The frightened looking eleven year olds come filing in and stand off to the side in a large group. They start going up one by one and get sorted into their houses. It's taking forever so I started looking around and end up staring at the enchanted ceiling they told us about, how it's charmed to show the weather outside.
Well I got pretty distracted by it and totally zoned out of the sorting until Jake elbowed me in the gut. I glared at him. "What was that for?" I whispered.
He pointed in the direction of the stool that the kids sat on to get the sorting hat put on their head. "That girls been up there for about two minutes now, no one else has taken anywhere near that long."
I turned my head to look at the stool and saw a short girl with bushy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. As soon as I looked into those eyes it wasn't the earth holding me here anymore it was her. I knew in that second that I would always protect, be whatever she needed me to be.
Oh man, I just imprinted.
I couldn't take my eyes off of her and barely registered when the hat finally yelled out "Gryffindor" but I couldn't help but smile as her face lit up and she took the hat off and ran to go sit at her house table.
I was snapped out of my daze when Jake elbowed me again. My head snapped away from him and to the left where Jake and Leah were staring at me with wide eyes.
"Did you just?" Leah asked, the end of her question going unsaid but I knew what she was asking. All I could do was nod dumbly at her and I vaguely saw Leah and Jake look at each other before my eyes drifted back to her.
"Hermione" Leah said.
I shook my head and looked back at her "What?"
"Hermione, that's her name. Hermione Granger." Jake clarified.
"Hermione" I said, trying the name out for myself. It was different but in a good way, unique. I already knew it suited her perfectly.
I watched as she interacted with the others at her table, though she didn't seem to be alking much with any of the other first years, and didn't even know until later on when Leah told me that the others were casting odd looks my way throughout the rest of the sorting. I didn't pull my gaze away again until the last first year was sorted and Dumbledore stepped back up to the podium.
"Now students first I would like to welcome you all back, and to our new student welcome to Hogwarts. This year we have added a few more people onto our staff team. First of all is our new Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Quirrel." He stopped and there was polite applause before he started back up again.
"Also joining us this year is the Quileute pack of shapeshifters from America. Let me introduce Sam Uley, Jacob Black, Embry Call, Leah Clearwater, Seth Clearwater, and Paul Lahote. Along with Emily Young. They will be here to ensure the protection of our students so do not be alarmed if you see some rather large wolves roaming around the castle or the school grounds. Now I expect you all to give our new friends your utmost respect. They can give or take away house points the same as one of your professors and they can give out detention if they see fit to do so."
Dumbledore paused once again for the applause, ours slightly louder than that for the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. "And finally a few announcements. I would like to inform our new students and remind a few of our older ones" at this point her directed his gaze to what looked to be a pair of twins sitting by Hermione at the Griffindor table who just smirked back at him. "and a list of banned items is posted outside of Mr. Filch's office. Also the third floor corridor on the right hand side is off limits to anyone who does not wish to die a very painful death."
My head flew to look at the man as did several others around me including the rest of the pack and Emily to see if he was serious. He was. I felt an urge to keep Hermione away from that corridor, protect her from whatever was so dangerous about that corridor but she didn't even know who I was yet. I would change that, I would be her friend, her protector, whatever she wanted me to be.
The feast then appeared and everyone dug in. After everyone was content and full Dumbledore spoke up one more time. "Now before we head off to bed I would like to say a few words. "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you, now prefects please direct the first years to your respective common rooms." We waited for the hall to empty before leaving for our own rooms.
We had a common room of our own but instead of dorms we each had rooms that connected off of it. Our common room had two couches, a love seat, and an arm chair. In the center was a coffee table and at the front of the room was a fireplace with a large soft rug in front of it. When we stepped through the portrait that gave us access to the common room I tried to make my way to my own room but was stopped by Embry grabbing my arm and dragging me to the couch. "Spill" he demanded.
"Hermione Granger" I said feeling the dopey smile spread across my face but couldn't find it in me to care.
Embry and Paul gave me odd looks. "What?" they both asked.
"That first year Hermione Granger, I imprinted on her."
Emily was the first one to react. "Oh Seth that's amazing I'm so happy for you!" she said and sat next to me on the couch to hug me before walking back over to Sam who wrapped his arm around her waist. Leah smiled at me from across the room and the rest of the guys slapped me on the back.
Jake sat next to me and kicked his legs up on the coffee table momentarily before receiving a scathing look from Emily and promptly dropping them back to the floor. "Well there's only one thing for you to do now." He said avoiding Emily's warning gaze gaze.
"Yeah, What's that?" I asked scrunching my eyebrows.
He back handed me to the head. "Talk to her."
"Well yeah obviously!" The rest of the guys laughed while Emily and Leah rolled their eyes at us. As the excitement of the news of my imprinting began to die down everyone separated to go to bed.
I couldn't wait because tomorrow I would introduce myself to and befriend Hermione. With that thought on my mind I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
