Life is a Roller coaster
Chapter 1: Departures
The war was over and it had been a couple of months since the final battle, he was packing up the last of his things preparing to return home to the place he had grown up in. This was a trip that Hermione and Ron would be joining him on, along with Sirius and Remus who were intrigued to find out more about the way he had grown up and who his adoptive parents were. Harry had been told by his parents PA only recently that they were looking forward to seeing him again, his parents were currently on a business trip so their would be a couple of weeks where it would just be him and his extended family.
"Harry if you don't get moving we will miss our flight." Sirius said to him Harry looked at his watch before chuckling.
"Its not a flight we can miss Sirius, the jet can't take of without its owner that would defy the point of the trip." Harry said to him. "Don't worry about it we should be able to take off soon after we get to the jet, so why don't you help me finish this all off." Harry said to him.
"Your not worried about annoying the pilot?" Sirius asked.
"No he gets paid no matter whether I use the plane or not." Harry said to him.
Twenty minutes later they were down stairs with the rest of the house, Ginny was not at all happy that they were all disappearing for months. They hadn't actually said when they would be back, Harry had yet to say whether he would be back at all for that matter. They were supposed to belong together but here he was running of without her, he had never even thought to ask her to joint them.
"Harry you must reconsider letting me come with you, what will people think that you have not taken your girlfriend with you." Ginny snapped finally as Harry was about to climb into the limo that the others had already climbed into he turned to look at her with a look of non concealed contempt and disgust.
"Ginny I wouldn't date you even if you were the last woman alive, so do me and every body else a favour and get some help your delusions of what we are together is starting to get on my nerves." Harry said to the girl Molly started screaming at him demanding that he apologise to her daughter. "Why the hell would I apologise to your stalker that you call a daughter, you need to get her help before she does something very stupid. If you follow us to the US Ginny I will file a restraining order against you without a second thought." Harry added before climbing into the limo and slamming the door on the two women outside the car screaming at him. "Driver we are good to go." Harry called up to the front of the limo which immediately pulled away from the curb.
"They are still at it." Ron said looking out of the window.
"I guess they think that if I marry your sister your family would reap the rewards of marrying a billionaire." Harry said to him. "Your sister is infatuated by me and always has been, we have never dated though she insists that I have been dating her for months to any one who asks." Harry said to him. "She has tried to scare of any one who might show an interest in dating me, actually went so far as to threaten a couple of them." Harry said to him.
"Thus why you haven't been spoken to her or mom since the end of the school." Ron said to him.
"Your mother tried to tell me that I would marry Ginny because it was the right thing to do." Harry said Ron winced. "She has taken to demanding I do the right thing by my girlfriend every time I am alone with her." Harry added. "I won't be returning to England when you guys decide to return." Harry said to them. "I will be attending one of the local schools of magic to my home." Harry added.
"I didn't think it had gone that far." Remus said to him.
"What would you have me do, when ever I think I have built a path for myself in my life those two women destroy it." Harry said to him. "I have been putting this of in the hope that they would give up." Harry added. "They have failed to change their minds." Harry said to him.

The plane was about half way to its intended destination when Harry woke up, the others were talking or watching movies on the DVD players in front of them. Harry sighed as he sat up the others looked around at him and smiled.
"Your finally awake." Sirius said to him
"I did tell you that I liked to sleep on long flights." Harry pointed out to him.
"Not right away you didn't." Sirius said to him.
"You thought that I would sleep half way through the flight, what would be the point in that." Harry said shaking his head as he got to his feet and walked to the back of the cabin pouring himself a glass of scotch and helping himself to some ice before returning to his seat.
"You didn't tell me you had food." Sirius groaned.
"Its all at the back of the cabin." Harry said to him as he took a sip of the drink sighing happily. "Boy am I glad you come of age at seventeen in the magical world." Harry said happily.
"What are you drinking?" Hermione asked.
"Fifteen year old scotch." Harry said to her. "It is the cheap stuff, the good stuff is back at the house we have a well I could say it's a wine cellar but it has everything in it." Harry explained.
"That's the cheap stuff." Hermione said with a shake of her head.
"Its all about perspective Hermione, and trust me this is cheap compared to what we have at home." Harry said to her closing his eyes and savouring the taste of the scotch. "Feel free to help yourself's to food and drink, Hermione will show you how to use the microwave." Harry said to them.
"You not eating?" Hermione asked.
"No I hate plane food." Harry replied.
"But its your plane." Ron said to him.
"Yeah but it doesn't stop the fact that its microwaved food." Harry said to him. "I prefer stuff freshly cooked." Harry said to them before finishing his drink and closing his eyes again. "I'll see you all when I wake up after touch down." he added.
"I can't believe that he is going to sleep through this its amazing." Ron said.
"It is the first time you do it, but I do this regularly, it gets boring after a while I can promise you." Harry mumbled.

"Harry you need to fasten your seatbelt we are coming in to land." Sirius said shaking his shoulder to wake him up.
"Thank you." Harry said to him.
"Good sleep?" Hermione asked him.
"Very much so." Harry said to her with a smile on his face.
"Its raining outside, where the hell did you bring us?" Sirius asked.
"A town a couple of hours outside Seattle." Harry said to him. "It is called Forks, and its basically the wettest area in North America. I have called it home since I was four years old." Harry said to them. "Your love it." he added.
"We are landing in the town?" she asked.
"About twenty miles from it, we have a private landing strip near the town." Harry said to her Hermione nodded. "It is a small private air field but we use it regularly and its completely legal." Harry told them as the wheels touched down on the tarmac. "We just prefer not to go through the big air ports, we find its much easier and a hell of a lot faster." Harry said to them.
They were soon in another limo and on the way to the house, Harry was silently watching through the window for landmarks he recognized. Soon enough they entered the town and were at the house within record time, they finally pulled to a stop in the drive just outside the house and Harry was climbing out of the door happily.
"Its raining." Hermione groaned.
"You need to get used to that." Harry said to her. "Come on lets get inside, the Elves will take care of the luggage." Harry said to them as he took out his house keys and dashed across the drive to the cover that the house offered. As soon as he was in the house he felt like he had finally come home, there was a letter on the table beside the door which he picked up and opened.
Harry
Your parents asked my dad to get me to pick up your groceries for the next couple of days, they said that they didn't know how many people were coming so I brought enough for an army. I'll come by tomorrow with Seth and Jared, we can hang out.
Jake
"Harry you can't let the Elves do the work." Hermione said to him angrily.
"Just watch me, if you think I am unloading the limo in that you have another thing coming." Harry said to her she huffed at him and glared as she walked past him into the house proper.
"Who is the letter from your parents?" Sirius asked.
"No its from a friend of mine Jacob, mom and dad asked his dad if Jake could pick up some supplies for us all." Harry said to him. "He and a couple of others will drop by tomorrow, they'll show you guys around the town and probably the reservation." Harry said to them.
"And where will you be?" Remus asked.
"I have to go see someone down at the reservation." Harry said with a bright smile. "He will be rather annoyed if I don't." Harry added.

Harry's black Lamborghini pulled into the drive way of the small house the next afternoon having spent some time with his friends and godfathers, he climbed out of the car to find said person running down the steps towards him.
"Hey Seth." Harry said to him softly before taking in his arms kissing the teenager on the lips Seth smiled into the kiss. "How is everything here." Harry asked.
"Their great, someone inside would like to meet you very much." Seth said to him.
"Show me the way." Harry said as he took the boys hand.
They headed into the house where Sue and Leah were waiting for them with a baby's dark skin was contrasted with vivid green eyes and messy black hair that stuck out at all angles. Harry smiled at the two women but his eyes were on the baby as he walked over and picked him up the baby gurgled at him happily shoving his fist in his mouth.
"Definitely your son." Harry said to Seth who laughed. "James." Harry said.
"James Harry Clearwater-Potter to be exact." Sue said to him.
"Hey your named after your grandpa's I know they would be very happy." Harry said softly as he cradled the baby in his arm. "I'm sorry I couldn't be here for the birth love." Harry said as he walked over to Seth. "You have no idea how much I wanted to be here for it." he told Seth who smiled. "Do you have his stroller?" Harry asked.
"Yeah I do." Seth said to him.
"Lets go for a walk down to Sam's." Harry said to him. "I should let the man know I am back with some friends don't you think, I don't think my big brother would be to happy if he was the last to see me." Harry said Seth giggled.
"Harry stay for tea, we can catch up." Sue said to him.
"Um tea sounds even better." Harry said Seth laughed.
When Harry had left the summer before he had left his mate Seth not knowing that the boy was pregnant, the letter had come as a bit of a shock but Harry had been very pleased by the news. But because of the war he had simply not been able to get home for the birth of his first born child, he had hated missing the event. He didn't like that he had had to lie to his friends and family back home about what was going on at home, he didn't trust Snape as much as Dumbledore did back then. He wanted to make sure that the dark lord didn't go after those he loved, he would not have put Seth or the baby in danger.
He knew that those who had come with him would be in for a bit of a shock when they saw the baby and Seth but he could do nothing about that now.
"Seth may I have my ring back please." Harry said to his mate who smiled as he went about taking the necklace of his neck and extracting the ring from it. He slipped it back on his ring finger. "No more hiding this from my family I promise you." Harry said to him.
"I'm just glad your back for good." Seth said softly Harry laughed at this.
"Where else would I go after the war." Harry said to him.
"Boys." Sue said as she guided Harry to the sofa where he could snuggle with his soon to be four month old son.

"So where did Harry go?" Hermione asked Jacob.
"He went to see an old friend of his down on the reservation." Jacob said to her.
"That's all your going to tell us." Ron said.
"Its not my place to tell you any thing more." Jacob said to them.
"Is it a girlfriend." Ron asked.
"You don't really know your best friend at all do you?" Jared asked.
"Of course I do." Ron snarled.
"Your in for a few shocks today." Jacob said to them. "Not everything here is as it seems." Jacob said to them as they walked into the clearing that held Sam's house. As they approached the house Jacob saw that Harry was their with Seth and baby James. "Definitely in for a shock." Jacob muttered as he opened the door to the house. "Hey Sam, Harry, Seth and Emily." Jacob said to them in way of greeting. "Harry I thought I'd introduce your friends to the pack alpha sorry." Jacob said.
"No its cool dude." Harry said to him. "Sam and I were just talking about that particular conversation." Harry said to him.
"Harry who's baby?" Hermione asked.
"Oh this is James Harry." Harry said to her Sirius and Remus shared looks. "Guys you should probably sit down this is going to be a long conversation." Harry said to them.
"Emily why don't you and I take a walk with the pack and leave Harry and his friends to talk." Sam said to her.
"I think that would be a good idea." Emily said as they got up. "Take your time Harry, Seth." she said kissing their cheeks. "Help yourselves to the muffins in the kitchen." Emily told the new comers before leaving with the rest of the pack.
"You just kicked someone out of their own home." Hermione said to Harry.
"Its pack business so they left to give us some privacy." Harry said. "Which they will know about later anyway." Harry said.
"Harry why does that baby have the name James Harry?" Remus asked.
"That's the long part of this story, please guys sit down." Harry said to them.
"Is he yours?" Hermione asked.
"In a word yes." Harry said to her Ron smiled.
"Well that explains why Ginny never had a chance with you." Ron said Harry smiled back at him.
"Seth and I are mates." Harry said to them. "Seth is a shape shifter." he told them.
"Like the guys we have been shown about the town by." Sirius said to him.
"Yeah they are all one pack its bigger than what you have seen so far though." Seth said to them.
"Why would you hide this from us?" Sirius asked.
"I was doing everything I could to protect my family Sirius, I didn't trust Snape not to tell Voldemort about them. I had to protect Seth and James." Harry said to him. "I didn't like lying to you about it." Harry told them.
"You were doing what you thought was necessary to keep your family safe." Remus said as he got up and walked over to them. "May I." Remus said.
"Of course." Harry said to him.
"How old?" Sirius asked.
"Four months exactly in two days." Seth said to him. "He was named after both of our fathers." Seth said Harry took his hand and squeezed lightly.
"Your dad must be very proud." Hermione said Seth flinched visibly at this.
"Harry died last year." Harry said to her. "Thus why he is named after him." Harry said to her.
"I'm so sorry." Hermione said to Seth.
"Its okay." Seth said though clearly he was upset. "I'm going to go for a walk." Seth said getting to his feet. "I'll be back in a bit." he added to Harry.
"Seth." Harry groaned as he got up and followed the boy out of the doors closing them behind him. "Seth don't be stupid you and I both know that she couldn't have known." Harry said to him grabbing the boys arm spinning him around on the spot.
"I know." Seth said to him.
"Come back inside." Harry said to him.
"I wanted you to myself for one day." Seth said to him. Harry smiled.
"The friends a little to much for you, or is it you're a little randy." Harry said Seth glared at him playfully.
"I haven't had sex in a year and your mocking me." Seth said trying to sound annoyed.
"I haven't had sex in a year you think you're the only one who has needs and desires." Harry said to him.
"Mr. You didn't have to carry a child for nine months." Seth said to him.
"True but look at what we created." Harry said softly Seth smiled. "Stay with us up at the house for a few days." Harry said to him.
"Mom is never going to go for that." Seth said to him.
"Your married to me and we have a child I don't think your mom is going to complain about you coming to live with me Seth." Harry said to him.
"I guess your right." Seth said with a smile.
"She might get pissed if you get pregnant again so we need to buy some supplies." Harry said to him Seth laughed. "Your mother would have liked nothing better than to kill me for that." Harry continued with a grin. "When you need to go on patrol with the pack you can borrow one of the cars to take you back to the reservation." Harry pointed out.
"I guess so." Seth said to him.
"Come on my mutt of a godfather has our son and I do not wish for him to corrupt James." Harry said to him.

"Sue its not like we are unmarried, we married last summer and Seth had my son." Harry said to her as she looked ready to argue about Seth moving in with him to the house. "We have Sirius and Remus there so you don't have to worry about another pregnancy." Harry said to her.
"Your right of course, I just am used to having both of my children living at home, if this is what you want Seth then of course you should move in with your husband and son." Sue said to him Seth grinned happily at this. "My little boy is growing up." Sue said. "If you get him pregnant Potter I will castrate you." she added.
"I can't make promises but we will be safe." Harry said to her she inclined her head at this.
"That is all I can really ask." Sue told him.
