Welcome to my new story. It's one of six in a series called the Wolf's Girl is a Hermione and Jacob centric story. It is also AU and characters are likely to be OOC.

Chapter One

Forks

A figure ran through the woods, terror written on her face. Her curly hair was matted and tangled, all the while falling out of its loose bun as she ran.

Her eyes scanned the woods, not seeing another girl watching her. This other girl looked very much the same, only older, with a couple of scars and cleaner. Her hair was loose around her shoulders and she was wearing pyjamas instead of the grubby shirt, jacket and jeans that the first figure was wearing.

The pyjama clad girl wanted to cry out to the running girl, but her tongue felt too thick and the words refused to move from her throat.

The girl she was watching stumbled over a tree root and crashed to the ground with a small cry. Tears leaked from her eyes as she looked back over her shoulder. She scrambled to get to her feet, but her ankle was obviously damaged. It buckled as she tried to stand on it, sending her almost to the floor once more.

Nevertheless, the girl pushed herself off the floor and limped off. She was clutching a beaded bag close to her chest and she began to rummage around inside it as she limped on.

"Where is it?" She whispered, her voice desperate and tired.

The pyjama clad girl could do nothing but run alongside her. She was helpless, but she felt the same urgency, terror and pain as this girl. Her heart thundered in her chest and sweat glistened as it covered her body, drenching her pyjamas.

The girl with the bag grinned as she pulled something from the bag, the very thing she had been looking for.

"I've got it!"

"And I've got you." A voice hissed.

All colour drained from both girls' faces and they turned to face the owner of the voice. A woman with pale skin, dark rings under her maddened dark eyes and black, messy curled hair. She smirked, revealing blackened teeth.

She would have been pretty once, but now all that remained was a shell.

"Bellatrix." The girls whispered.

The woman cackled. "Aw, did the itty bitty Mudblood think she could escape the Dark Lord? Come with Mummy, dear. Come join your little friends."

The girls backed away as the woman reached out to them.

"HERMIONE!"

The pyjama wearing girl gasped as she sat bolt upright.

She was no longer clad in her pyjamas, but was wearing a black tank top with bell bottomed pale blue jeans. She was sat in the passenger seat of a black Peugeot.

An older man with greying brown hair, many scars and blue eyes was glancing at her with a mixture of sympathy and concern.

"Did you have the dream again?" He asked.

The girl, Hermione, sighed and nodded.

"Do they ever go away?" She looked over at her companion.

The man gave a small, sad smile. "Maybe. In time. It's different for everyone."

Hermione huffed and turned to look out of the window.

"Where are we anyway?" She asked curiously.

"A small town by the name of Forks. It's the only place in America where there is no magic at all. I figured a clean break was best." The man smiled.

"Thank you, Remus." Hermione shot him a grin.

"You're welcome." Remus nodded.

Hermione Granger and Remus Lupin were escaping a dark past that lingered in their home country of England. A past that left them with no-one but each other.

So they had decided to move to America, to Forks, Washington to be exact.

Hermione was an eighteen year old witch that had lost her parents and best friends to a tragic war that had rocked the Wizarding World. The same war had taken Remus' wife and best friends from him, leaving him with a six month old son to look after.

He had found his kindred in Hermione, who saw him as a father figure in replacement of her own, and had taken her under his wing. She helped him raise his son, Teddy, and he helped her cope with her PTSD, a result of the war.

Remus had managed to find the one place in America where the population was so small that it was full of only Muggles. There were a couple of Squibs, but the town was so isolated it was unlikely that news of the war had reached them.

He pulled into a street lined with houses made of wood, all painted in whites, greens, browns and blues. He pulled into the drive of a brown wood house and stopped.

"Here we are." He announced.

Hermione looked up at the house. It was simple and charming. Perfect for the new life she wanted to have.

"It's wonderful." She gave him a smile.

At that moment, the little boy in the back decided to wake up. He gave a whining cry, asking for attention.

"Teddy's up." Hermione grinned.

"Can you get him? I'll get the bags." Remus turned off the engine.

"Of course."

Hermione got out of the car and walked round to the right handed back door. She opened it and began to make cooing noises at the toddler.

"Shhh. It's okay, Teddy. Auntie Hermione's here." She whispered.

The small boy with blue hair and grey eyes looked up at her.

"You have to make your hair different, baby." Hermione cooed.

Teddy frowned, waving his hands in the air. Hermione sighed and tugged her hair before pointing at Teddy's hair.

The change was instantaneous. Teddy's blue hair transformed into brown, shaggy hair much like his father's.

"Good boy." Hermione smiled, tickling the child.

Teddy's innocent laugh rang out as Hermione scooped him into her arms. She carried him inside, following Remus who was carrying three suitcases. Thanks to feather light charms, it was easy for him.

"Home sweet home." Hermione said, looking around the house.

Remus had moved all their things across using the Floo network over the past few weeks. Sofas sat in front of the fire, a TV was mounted above the fireplace and two bookcases lined the wall. In the corner was a desk, computer and phone.

That was just the first room.

Just beyond the living room there was a hallway with a staircase in. The hallway led off into two rooms. The first was the kitchen diner and the second was the downstairs bathroom. Up the stairs there were four rooms.

There was a bathroom, Teddy's bedroom that was beside Remus' bedroom and across the hall was Hermione's room.

It was the epitome of simple beauty.

"I love it, Remus." Hermione sighed as she stood outside her bedroom, Teddy on her hip and Remus standing behind her.

Her room was furnished with a double bed, an antique wardrobe, a couple of bookcases and a rug. On the wardrobe was a full length mirror.

It was decorated in cool blues. The only hint of warm colours was a red and gold scarf that was hooked over the end of the bed.

Hermione quickly averted her eyes from the scarf and moved to Teddy's room. It was decorated with yellow paint with a teddy bear border. He had a cot in the corner of the room and various toys lining the walls.

She placed the baby on the changing table and made quick work of changing his nappy, which she had noticed needed doing when she had picked him up.

She tried desperately to think of anything other than the scarf that lay tauntingly on her bed. Remus came in behind her.

"Hermione? Are you alright?"

Hermione forced a smile on her face. "Perfectly. Do you mind if we pop into town? I want to see about getting a job."

Remus seemed startled. "Oh, yes. Of course." He stammered.

Hermione nodded.

"Let's have breakfast first. We've been travelling all night." Remus suggested, moving to take Teddy from Hermione.

Hermione followed him out of Teddy's room and to the top of the stairs. The door to her room was open and she could see the scarf on her bed.

"Go, go Gryffindor!"

"Weasley is our King!"

"Harry Potter has caught the Snitch!"

"Do you think we'll ever have a quiet year?"

"No."

"Here, Harry, take this. It'll bring you luck."

"NO! HARRY!"

Hermione violently shook her head to dispel the voices chasing each other around in her head. Snippets of her past.

Things she would rather forget.

She harshly slammed her door shut and walked down the stairs to join Remus and Teddy in the kitchen.

She was starting a new life, she didn't need to remember the past.
