The witch who loved a wolf ( Hermione X Jacob ff- fanfiction )

Shape shifters

" Hey Hermione " a raspy voice spoke from the other line. 

" Harry ? is that you ?" Hermione asked almost bouncing in excitement. She had been in Forks for almost a month and other than a occasional letter from Ginny she hadn't heard much from her other friends, or even her own boyfriend for that matter.

" Yeah it is. How is everything over there ?, how's your cousin and your uncle ?" Harry sounded like he was in a rush. Hermione attempted to decipher the rush of his voice by cancelling out the noise emitted by the wilderness surrounding the Cullen's house.

Hermione took a deep breathe before replying, " it's all good. I went over to MACUSA twice and I'm helping with the land share. I might be meeting some centaurs about alternative breeding grounds though. And my uncle and cousin seem fine really.... but you'll never believe- ", she stopped herself from indulging to Harry about her cousin's lover who is coincidently a vampire who is also a vegetarian.

She heard Harry shuffle around the area before lowering his voice over loud shouts and shrieks, " that's good Hermione, I hope your happy. Here, Ron wants to talk ", he said passing the phone. There were shuffling noises and soft whispers before a voice could be heard, " hello ?! ".

Hermione smiled to herself, immediately recognizing the voice as Ron's, " hello Ron. How are you ?". She hear more static before Ron's voice yelled out the receiver, " I'm alright Mione, you ?" he asked unsurely. Hermione smiled to herself at his stutter, " I'm quite alright. I made a few friends while I was here ", Hermione said remembering not only the Cullen's but also Jacob and his friends. 

She heard a muffled noise again before Ron's voice could be heard, " who ?" he asked incredulously.  He didn't exactly sound happy about it, more like he was confused at who rather than him and Harry could keep her company. Or maybe he sounded angry that she was enjoying spending all that time away from him.

" Hello ?!! Ron ? Harry ? " Hermione yelled in to the phone but she heard nothing. The line went dead. What kind of horrible connection did they have to have at that moment. Hermione turned to leave the Cullen's house when she heard a distinct howl from the forest and a shady body run past the tree's. She squinted her eyes at the figure before deciding to follow it deeper in to the woods. 

She walked past the slippery moss covered logs and trees, tracing her hand over remnants of  bark. She followed deep foot prints that lead deeper in to the wood before she came to a small clearing with a watering hole. Expecting it to be empty she took a step closer, only to come face to face with a wolf with russet brown fur. It bared it's fangs at her before, seemingly, transforming itself to its true form : A human. More specifically, Jacob Black. 

The next morning 

" Hermione !! are you ready yet ?" Bella yelled from down the stairs as Hermione attempted to brush her hair. She struggled with the tugging of the brush against her curly hair when Bella raced up the stairs to help her. 

" Here, let me " Bella said reaching for the brush from Hermione's hand. Hermione gave up the brush in defeat as Bella started to separate the hair in different columns. She gently brushed her hair softly as Hermione squinted her eyes as it made it's way down. Bella let out a small cough, attracting Hermione's attention.

" So, where were you last night ?" she asked coolly. Hermione felt the color drain from her cheeks as Bella abandoned the brush but continued to look at her through the mirror, " uhm... I just went out for some air ". She saw Bella look down and purse her lips before looking at Hermione, " I didn't see you outside ", she said accusingly. Before Hermione could say anything her room door swung open and in walked the last person she expected, and judging from Bella's tone they were also the last person that she expected. 

" Jacob ?!! " Bella asked looking at the copper skinned teenager standing in her cousins door frame. He avoided her and looked at Hermione, " forget Bella, I'll drop you off at school today " he said. Before either of them could protest to this, Jacob grabbed Hermione's bag and swung it across his shoulder and walked out the door. Hermione stared at him perplexed before decidedly following him out. Before she exited the room she felt someone grab her elbow and bring her close, " we WILL talk about this later ". Bella let go of her arm and walked away downstairs to her truck. 

-

" Where are you taking me ?" Hermione asked after Jacob took two wrong turns, leading away from the school. " Last night, we found a wolf, technically a girl who phased in to a wolf. Now after we captured them we realized something " he said almost ghostly. He looked terrified. Hermione feared that whatever he saw must have rattled him enough to traumatize him. 

She held a tender hand on his shoulder, in a attempt to calm him down, " what did you see ?" she asked. He shook like he was cold, which if you have seen Forks' weather you would understand, " it wasn't like a wolf- wolf, ya know ?", he looked back for confirmation and Hermione knit her eyebrows together. He shook his head again to clear his mind, " never mind. You'll see now "

- 

He drove her until he came to a secluded part of the forest. What seemed like his entire tribe was there along with a few new faces. Hermione immediately recognized Emily standing next to Sam. Emily reached a stride and walked up to Hermione and Jacob, " what's wrong with you Jacob ? why in god's name did you bring Hermione here ?", Hermione felt all eyes on her as everyone stared in there direction as Jacob pleaded with Emily that Hermione could help them. Then a old man with his silver gray hair tied back in a ponytail in a wheel chair came up to Hermione and gave her a smile, " hello dear, my names Billy Black. Would you know me by any chance ?". Hermione nodded at him while smiling, " uncle Charlie has spoken a great deal about you " she said kindly. 

Jacob then, instead of addressing his father, took Hermione's hand and slowly lead her away from him and closer to what everyone was staring at. In the middle of the clearing was a young girl trapped under a net. She struggled and screamed out, " please help me ! these people kidnapped me ". Paul inched closer to her but Hermione, with some courage, waved away the large man and knelt closer to her. 

" Where did they find you ?" she asked softly. The girl sobbed before looking at Hermione, " I don't know, I woke up and I was covered by this net ". Jacob walked closer to Hermione and pulled her away before whispering furiously at her, " it was so weird, she was standing on her back legs and she was like, completely hairless, she did have some hair though like...on her back and arms. She didn't attack us but she was threatening us. We couldn't get close even as human. But if we became humans she would try to attack. She never phased out of it, I don't think she can do it on command ", Jacob said cautiously watching the flailing figure.

Hermione felt her heart drop. She looked towards the tribe, which was now watching her, awaiting a verdict that they didn't know she was way overqualified to give, " Jacob, she can't do those this and looks the way she looks is because she IS a werewolf ". She heard the collective gasp echo through the wood as everyone present stated to look at Hermione like she had said something controversial. But Hermione was not done, " and you are all surprised about it because you are not werewolves, you are all shape shifters "
