Life is a song… love is the lyrics. -Anonymous

Forks, was a small town hardly worthy of being mentioned. It was that little. But it had a quaint homey feeling too it. Probably because it reminded me a lot of Hogsmeade though, surrounded by woods and nestled in a little valley. A tight knit community held together by the school. Yeah a muggle version of Hogsmeade, I thought with a small smile. I heard Draco discussing muggle schooling with Hermione, the sounds of Ron's video game beeping, buzzing and whirling in my ear. Comfortable sounds. Things I was use to, thankful for. Driving along the roads I followed the directions on the map as well as I could. It wasn't my first time driving, someone had to teach Dudley, but it was hard to drive on the opposite side and in a foreign place. No wonder people could spot a tourist a mile away in London. Trying to drive a car here was dangerous, odd and quite fun.

"How much longer until we get there Harry?" Ron complained looking over at me. His blue eyes were bored and I assumed he had just beaten his game.

"Not much longer. I just have to find the drive way… and ah here we are!" I said pulling into a gravel pit. The driveway was short but there were enough trees in the yard to give us our privacy.

The lovely two story limestone house was like an old fashion cottage. Something plucked out of a story book. The roof was a rusty red and so were the gutters. The windows were large and varied from square to rectangular to circular. It gave the house a unique look. The house had a large back porch that had stairs leading up to it and a small garage beneath it. The door to the basement situated on the garage's platform. Parking our car I sighed before opening my door. Everyone followed my lead and we headed up to the porch.

It was insulated with windows, screens, and a glass door. The porch was painted white and then a pale gold. There was a small table with four white chairs, an electric fire pit in one corner, a simple yet tasteful dangling light fixture and two large wooden benches sitting next to each other. Turning to the large white door I pulled out the key and unlocked it. Inside we were met with warm air and the sight of the kitchen.

It was pale blue with a wrap around counter covering most of the space. The tops made of silver-black granite and the wood was a dark stained cherry. Flooring was the same pale blue, maybe a little darker, and made of linoleum. The electronics were ready to go and all done in chrome. Hermione began looking around and found, to Ron's delight, enough food for dinner.

Walking to the two doorways I noticed you could go right, which led to a dinning room, or left, which lead to a hallway and several doors and another opening. We went through the dinning room first taking in the rich golden color, and Italian design in the room. Draco laughed to himself; I think he was remembering Blaise's own dinning room. The rich wine colored wood paneling on the lower half of the wall, matched the table and chairs. Taking another path we came upon the living room.

The living room was a pale green color with silver trim. The long black couch against the wall and the air chairs were all black leather. The fireplace was stone and had silver tools around it. A cherry wood mantle hung over the fireplace and a large round mirror above that. A 49 flat screen TV sat atop a black entertainment set. Large windows allowed streams of sunlight to light the pure white carpet. Before anything else was said Hermione sent a spell to the floor to prevent it from staining.

"Good idea." Draco said with a smirk. Ron blushed and I laughed a little.

Going into the hallway I saw three doors. Opening one I found a small restroom, opening the second I found a wooden stairwell. Opening the third I found a large bedroom. Hermione stepped in and began poking around. A large bookcase stood in one corner, a vanity next to a large dresser in another, and there was a king size bed with fresh white linen sheets on it. The walls were white and the carpet was a soft gray. A desk sat against the wall closest to the door and I saw Hermione eyeing it giddily.

Going upstairs I saw two more bedroom doors and a bathroom door. I decided to investigate the bathroom first and liked the nice sea green and blue colors I found. The bath was large and there was a closet with racks of towels. Leaving there I took to one bedroom and found another bedroom like the one downstairs. Only this large king size bed had dark blue sheets, the walls were almost a silvery color, and the carpet was black. Going into the third bedroom I liked the relaxing green colors and how soothing it felt. Sitting down on the large bed I looked around. There was plenty of room for my things and I was completely satisfied with how Remus decorated the room.

Actually I was satisfied with the whole house. It was lovely and just to our liking. Smiling softly I magicked my things from the car and into the room. Opening the bags by hand I put away my clothes and books slowly. Taking my time to explore the room and put away my other stuff, I felt content. Life here might not be that bad.

After hooking up my stereo systems, plugging in my cell phone and laptop to charge I curled up on my bed and decided a proper nap was in order. I fell asleep in a few moments and just sank into the large bed.

Hermione came up later with food and I smiled softly at her.

"Hey." My voice cracked a little.

"I brought soup." She said softly. Brushing my hair from my face she settled the tray onto my lap.

"You're such a doll… Your children will adore you." I said sending her another smile. I sipped the soup lightly feeling the warmth rush through me. She left me after that and I ate slowly enjoying the warmth.

After polishing it off I sent it downstairs with a small pop. Snuggling back into my bed I slept far into the night with soft instrumental music playing. Gods bless over-bearing protective mother like best friends who are women. They're gods gift to gay men, I swear.

Waking up to Hermione's soft calls and a loud belch from Ron I groaned and stretched out. Sleeping in jeans was very, very uncomfortable. Shucking out of them I slipped on a pair of black silk pajama pants. Staggering downstairs I flopped down on one of the kitchen chairs and laid my head on the cool table.

"Blueberry pancakes?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, please." I replied sitting up suddenly. She laughed and placed a huge stack before me.

Smothering it in syrup I dug in heartily. For a moment I reminded myself of Ron. Who was shoveling food into his mouth the same way, and I laughed a little. It was nice to be safe and un-crowded for once. Ron had to practice eating right in public so now that he was here without nosey paparazzi he was digging in like there was no tomorrow. Draco, of course, was eating slowly and calmly and so was Hermione. They had table manners drilled into them since birth. Well Ron did to but he didn't listen.

After polishing off the pancakes I helped Hermione put the dishes away and then went back upstairs to change into real clothes. She wouldn't let me wear my pajama pants to school, or my dirty clothes.

So I threw on some black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a red jacket over all of that. Slipping on new socks and my black Vans I deemed myself adequate.

Packing up my laptop, a few notebooks and some pens I slipped my stuff into my black messenger bag with paint smears and buttons all over it. Standing I slipped my cell phone into my front pocket, my wallet into my back pocket, and my wand was hidden up my sleeve on its holster. That, thankful, was invisible to muggle eyes. After I was equipped with everything I would need I headed downstairs to join everyone else.

Finally, after Draco was pulled away from the mirror, we pilled into our car and drove off to our new school.

Arriving at the school Hermione was the first one out.

"We have to get our schedules then we can park in the back with the rest of the students." Hermione explained as we pilled out and followed her lead/

"Hello dears how can I help you?" The lady behind the desk asked as we walked in.

"We're the new students. I'm Hermione Granger." Hermione said smiling and moving to the desk.

"Ron Weasley." The red headed boy said following his fiancée.

"Draco Malfoy." The blond said standing by me.

"Harry Potter." I said finishing up.

"Ah well here are your schedules." She said pulling out several slips of paper.

I took mine and read it over quickly:

"Oh look Harry we'll have Zoology, Algebra Two, English, and gym together." Hermione whispered looking over my shoulder.

"And here are a few maps for you to look over. It should help you get around easier." The nice lady said.

"Thanks." I said a smile ghosting my lips. Her cheeks went a little red and it made me blush as well.

"Today is a B day so you follow the second half of the schedule and you'll be just fine." The lady explained. I smiled and said thanks before leaving.

"Merlin's beard lets get this over with." Draco groaned slipping into the car.

"It's not that bad mate." Ron offered with a smile.

"It's going to be okay Draco." Hermione said getting in after Draco and hugging him.

"There are just too many muggles for my liking." Draco muttered.

"Sorry Dray." I said with a sigh.

"Not your fault Harry. It's there fault." Draco said haughtly. It brought a smile to my face.

We drove around to the student parking lot and grabbed all our stuff before getting out and locking up the car. Stretching out I saw everyone taking glances at us. Feeling shy I kept my face down but Draco walked to me with his head held high. Looping his arm in mine he strutted into the school like he owned it. Everyone stared at the four of us as we walked along to our classes. Hermione and Ron seperated from us after we found our lockers and I hugged her goodbye.
"It'll be okay Harry, you have Draco." she said reasurringly.

"I know see you for second block." I said with a smile. Draco and I found the art room and introduced ourselves to the teacher. Finding seats in the back I settled down into my seat comfortably.

'And if I could swim I'd swim out to you in the ocean, Swim out to where you were floating in the dark. And if was blessed I walk on the water you're breathing, To lend you some air for that heaving !' my cell phone started going off and I grabbed it out of my pocket quickly turning the volume down. I smiled sheepishly at the teacher and she nodded her head in understand. Holding the phone under the table I read Ginny's text secretly and replyed quickly.

How's school going? –Ginny

Fine. We just started classes. I'll message you when I'm in the corridor. -Harry

Okay, love you brother. 3 -Ginny
Love you too sis. 3 -Harry

Smiling I glanced over at Draco. He was bored starring at his nails and I giggled at his expression. He looked at me with a smile on his thin lips.

A weird rush of cold air maade us both suddenly alert. Sweeping into the room was a short girl with pixie features and pale skin. Behind her a tall boy stood with a serious expression on his face. Both had slightly odd vibes to them. Cold, like a snow storm, and both seemed to be far older then they were acting.
"Draco do you think...?" I asked making eye contact with the girl. I knew she could hear me but I didn't care.
"Most definately." Draco said his voice like stone glaring in their direction. The girl seemed to catch on as to what we were.

She tugged on the boy's sleeve and he nodded his acceptance at that information.

The two moved closer and sat by us. I sat still not knowing why they were here or what was going to happen.

"I'm Alice." a voice whispered. Startled I looked over. The girl was smiling happily at me, "Don't worry, we're vegetarians." She winked and I felt relief flood through me.

"I'm Harry, this is Draco." I introduced with a smile back at her.

"This is Jasper, he's very quite." Alice said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"So you guys are vegetarians?" Draco asked with a raised brow.

"Yes, our father, Carlisle raised us all to be that way." Alice informed us with a quick nod.

"That explains the fact your eyes are not blood red... However why are you here in Forks?" Draco semi-demanded of them.

"Same reason you are. Escape." Jasper spoke quietly putting Draco's fears at rest in an instant.

"Well it was a pleasent to meet you." I inserted quickly before they thought we were rude wizards.

"Oh it will be pleasent." Alice giggled smiling hugely at us.

"I'm not sure I follow...?" I said unsure.

"Alice can see the future." Jasper filled in for me as Alice looked on with a dreamy look.

"Oh... I've had a bit of bad luck with seers." I chuckled rubbing the back of my neck.

"An understatement if there ever was one." Draco scoffed.

"Class we've two new students in the back. Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. Please respect their personal space but don't completely ignore them." Mrs. Alexander said with a small laugh.

As class got in the swing we spoke to Alice and Jasper more about their lives, their family and the town we were now living in.

As we switched for the next class I caught a glimpse of a rather beautiful boy walking with a plain jane... He made my heart stop for just the slightest moment. Blushing like mad I found Draco looking at me like I had just grown another head.

"I think I saw him..." I whispered before my vision tunneled to black and everything was falling so softly...

Author's Note:

I did a version of this story a couple years ago but decided it needed a new makeover which is exactly what I'm going to give it. Just to fill people in a bit ahead of time this is after Voldermort but just imagine the story line rushed and certain people never died because I'm a sucker for HAPPY endings not bittersweet ones. Everything will be explained and since I just got back into the swing of writing please bare with me here.

Reviews are helpful. So is subscribing to me and my story. :D
