Nat decided to go visit the weasleys.
Remus was pacing back and forth in his room he needed to distract himself and apparated to the Burrow
When he arrived Molly was serving food.
Mrs.Weasley: Eat up, eat up, everyone! There's more to come.
Harry sits in deep conversation with Nat ,and Mr.Weasley. Ron sits by silently. They noticed Remus arrived, he looked haggard. Remus joins the conversation trying to maintain his distance from Nat.
HArry: Draco's plotting something, I know it, something to do with Voldemort. He's been given a task or a mission -- and Snape was offering to help.
Remus:Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission?
HARRY:I know it sounds mad --
Remus:Has it occurred to you, Harry, that Snape was simply pretending to offer Draco help so that he could find out what he's up to?
HARRY:That's not what it sounded like.
Nat:Perhaps Harry's right, Remus. To make an  Unbreakable Vow, after all --
He was surprised that Nat addressed him then he remembers what she told him the day he left her.
Remus:It comes down to whether or not you trust Dumbledore's judgement. He trusts Snape. Therefore, I do.
HARRY:But Dumbledore can make mistakes. He's said it himself
Remus:You're blinded by hatred.
Harry:I'm not
Remus:Speaks sternly-You are! People are disappearing, Harry. Daily. We can only put our trust in a handful of people. If we start fighting amongst ourselves, we're doomed
Nat gives Harry a secretive glance, as if to say, Leave it
Nat and Remus stayed a bit longer at Molly's request.
Nat was talking to Molly. She can see that Remus was struggling with his transformation again. So she decides to wait for Remus. He knows what she is doing and is grateful. She deserves better. They are standing by the porch when Remus stands a bit off to the side, staring into the grassfield . His nostrils flare subtly. Nat can smell it but doesn't make it obvious she didn't want to alarm them if it was a false scent. Her wolf was not of much help at the moment and her veela well it was like she was a normal witch.
Nat:It was delicious, Molly. Really.
Mrs.Weasley:You're sure you won't stay?
Nat:No, we should go.(under her breath)The first night of the cycle is always the worst
Mrs. weasley: you still love him don't you
Nat doesn't reply verbally, just shakes her head yes and gestures vaguely to the moon. Arthur glances at Remus. Remus feels the hairs on his knuckles rise.
Mrs.Weasley: Remus...?
Harry looks through the cracks of an imperfect windowpane, studying the others below, the floorboard creaks. He turns, and watches Ginny emerge in a robe, twisting her wet hair in a towel.
Remus continues to look into the tall grass. His pupils contract.
Nat:Remus?
Remus:There's someone out there. I can smell him. There's more than one.
Suddenly throughout the grass torches blaze. Harry noticed the light behind the window.
Ginny: oh my god
Suddenly Harry bursts through the front door, wand drawn, he runs toward Bellatrix. She grins, turns, and vanishes into the tall grass.
Mr. Weasley:Harry, no!
Fire races up the porch steps, climbing the walls of the house. Remus draws his wand and races after Harry
Nat:Remus!
Ron, Fred and George appear, joining Arthur as he dashes toward the smoking marsh. Arthur glances back as Ginny walks out of the house.
Mr. Weasley: Ginny, stay with your mother!
Without hesitation, she ignores her father's request and races towards the tall grass.
Meanwhile Fred, George, Ron and Arthur spread out, fighting off shadows,they ran towards the grass, but It's like chasing ghosts.
Harry is chasing Bellatrix, he almost has her. She was taunting him and suddenly he heard Ginny.
Ginny: Harry it's a trap!
Harry  stops and looks toward Ginny. He spies Greyback. Bellatrix stops seeing Ginny, shrieking with rage, raises her wand, she fires a Bolt of Red light which explodes in a shower of sparks around Ginny. Ginny fires back, then runs away, hiding through the grass and unexpectedly she comes face to face with...
Greyback, sharp teeth grinning  Greyback:Don't you smell clean.
Greyback sees Harry and the fight continues until Bellatrix signals retreat.
Then Nat, Ron, Fred, George, Arthur and Remus come thrashing into the clearing and stop.All around them, the grass smoke, the fire is dying. Across the clearing , Bellatrix's laugh rises briefly in the air then all is quiet.
What a night.
Remus: Nat you didn't have to wait for me but thank you.
Nat: I'm gonna go.
Without another word she leaves.
Nat( was I too clingy or pushy asking for something he was not ready for) uhh she wanted to be there when he transformed but it was better to keep her distance. Jacob had gone back to the US and checked on the pack even if Santiago was in charge they still needed their alpha.
Remus(she still cares about me)
The days dragged on,  Jacob returned with none other that her BFF Samantha(Sam for short) and Rafael. They are mates and can't be separated for long periods of time,which was why they were both here.
Nat: I still can't believe you guys are here!! (Squealing)
Rafael: Well doll I couldn't have my best gal missing her BFF now could I.
Sam: Well, if he knows what is good for him, he spoils me too much.
Nat:ohh on a leash Rafe. 
Rafael: What can I say she is an animal in( Sam starts playfully hitting him) ow ow ow woman that hurt.
Sam: That should teach you to not be talking about stuff you shouldn't.
Nat: I don't want to be scarred for life
At that moment Sirius arrives through the floo.
Sirius: hey nat woah didn't know you had company, should I come back later
Nat: no stay I want to introduce you
Sam: damn if I wasn't mated to rafe I would totally do him who is the hottie Nat. He's your sugar daddy!
Rafe: hey I heard that (coming out the kitchen)and what hottie I thought I was the only hottie in your life.
Nat: ew no that is my uncle
Sirius: you wound me my dear niece
Nat: uncle Sirius this is Samantha and Rafael they are friends from school and are in jacobs pack. Also don't flirt to much with Sam unless you want to end up ugly by Rafael, he is her mate
Sirius: got it where is Jacob
Jacob: kitchen!
Nat: fatass you better not be eating my ice cream
Jacob: noo( goes to the living room) hey Sirius, so my friends are here  like dumbledore asked they are the only ones that volunteered I tried reaching other packs back home but they are supporting him. I had to send my pack into hiding. It is chaotic everywhere.
Sirius: I know kids, I know well they will be initiated on Saturday everyone will be present. Nat a word
They go to her room-
Sirius: You look better but really how are you doing?
Nat: not so great still no sign of my wolf or veela
Sirius: Remus mentioned what happened at the burrow. Just be careful out there.
Nat: I will
Sirius: good well I am going I can't be out to much especially if I am supposedly dead boo and a fugitive.
Nat laughed at Sirius and they chatted while she accompanied him to the floo.
Saturday
It was Saturday, Sam and Rafael were going to be initiated. When they arrived they noticed that Sirius was not joking when he said everyone will be there Snape was hiding in a corner nat was sure he was a vampire but then he had no ring) Moody was in the other corner opposite to Snape and finally her dear aunt Nymphadora was here along with her aunt Andromeda. Nat(great just dandy)
Jacob was talking with Rafael when he noticed the most beautiful woman. They locked eyes and everything stopped. The only one that mattered was her. He can feel his wolf at the surface and whisper one word MATE.
Tonks was talking with her mother when she noticed Nat arrived with 3 guests. She was wondering who they were when she locked eyes with a Tall and handsome man. She couldn't look away; she felt connected to him and her magic was reaching out to him. What was happening? She needed to find out.
Nat and Remus noticed the aura on Tonks and Jacob. Remus was wondering what it was and Nat was grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
Nat went up to Jacob and told her that his mate was Nymphadora Tonks. At the revelation he went stiff, his mate was one of the reasons his friend's almost sister was hurting. Nat didn't blame her, she knew that Remus left her because he didn't want her. Jacob was at a loss for words. He was stuck in a love quarrel. He was going to pursue her and make her realize she belongs with him.
Dumbledore arrived and the meeting started and finished with 2 more new members.
Nat kept in touch more often with Harry especially after what happened at the burrow. It was hard for nat to make Harry understand that he had to think before making rash decisions, but did he listen no he wrote to her and told her about the confrontation he had with Draco Malfoy. Nat was tempted to send a howler but thought better of it and didn't want to put him on the spot more than he already was.
