Give me a reason - 4 -
Remus was sitting by the table, looking at the moon that shone brightly on the other side of the window. Harry harboured no hard feelings towards his godfather nor the werwolf even though he was hurt. But the talk with Sirius had helped him to find the courage to face the wolf if he needed too.
''Remy? Are you alright?'' Harry asked softly, making Remus sigh. Of course his hurt cub would ask about his feelings instead of cursing him.
''Yes pup, I'm alright.. I'm so sorry Harry..'' Remus said as his amber eyes filled with unshed tears of regret. Harrys own green ones filled with shock as he watch the man he looked up to break down.
''No! No, no, no Remus, it wasn't your fault! I knew that you most likely would smell them on me, I shouldn't have gotten so close to them before talking with you and Siri..'' Harry rushed forth as he tried to reassure his godfather.
''I lost control, I jeopardised everything! I-I hurt you.'' Remus choked forth and Harry looked at Sirius for help.
''You dumb wolf! It wasn't your fault! Moony smelled the vamps on Harry, It scared him that potential danger had surrounded his cub for hours, you know that the wolf is rougher with their cubs while scared.'' Sirius said after he'd smacked Remus on the back of his head.
''Remus I don't blame you nor Moony, but the vampires aren't a threat too us. They are nice and there is something about Emmett...'' Harry trailed of in thought.
''You see! Nothing to worry about! And if needed we'll just have to have a talk with those blood suckers!'' Sirius joked while literally being serious.
''How is your arm Harry?'' Remus asked when the situation seemed to have reassured him enough.
''It's fine Remy, a bit soar but nothing to worry about. Should we start making dinner? I'm quite hungry..'' Harry said as his stomach growled for food.
''Yes! Pup is going to cooooooook!'' Sirius woo'ed loudly making the two other inhabitants chuckle. They were fine.
O_O_O_O
Harry was tiredly walking down the corridor towards his locker. He'd a nightmare that had made him wake up at 4 a.m in the morning, leaving him unable to sleep again. The shower water had been cold, making his muscles ache and his arm was pulsating with pain and the insufferable dunderhead by the name Mike had been stalking him all morning.
He opened his locker with distaste noticing that he had forgot his history book at home. He slammed the locker and rested his pulsating head on top of it and felt how he just wanted to cry over how bloody awful his day had been so far. He reluctantly made his way toward the history class where he for the first time cried out in relief when he noticed that the chair next to the gorgeous vampire was unoccupied.
''Jasper! You're a saint sent from heaven!'' Harry cried as he hugged the stunned immortal. Jasper chuckled when he had regain himself from the shock and hugged the smaller teen back.
''Is that so?'' Jasper asked and chuckled more when he only received furious nods.
''This doesn't happen to do anything with Newton does it?'' He teased, knowing how much distaste Harry held for they jokey.
''Well of course! And you have a history book too!'' Harry cried out happily. Jasper shook his head but smiled nonetheless. The smile left his face as he noticed the younger ones bandaged arm.
''You okay?'' Jasper asked, not removing his eyes from the arm he knew was hurt because of one of Harrys godfathers. Harry noticed what Jasper was referring too and nodded.
''Yeah, just bruised it a bit yesterday.'' He shrugged and class started before Jasper was able to comment on it.
O_O_O_O
''But that's stupid! Why would he lead his comrades towards death instead of taking the fall alone, knowing it would lead to victory?!'' Harry yelled out in the middle of his and Jaspers conversation. Jasper was amused, Harry seemed to have more in common with him then he'd first though, they had drawn the attention of both their teacher and their fellow classmates but Jasper didn't comment on it, to eager to continue his conversation with Harry.
''Well most believe that it was because he thought it would ensure their victory-''
''But that is like making a heard of elephants chase a mouse instead of sending a single cat for the job!'' Harry cried out in frustration.
''I agree, but he didn't. Maybe he was afraid to die alone? Afraid that he wouldn't be there to see his side of the war win.'' Jasper resonated, even though he didn't believe it.
''Really? Well he's a coward then. If he really wanted his side to win he would have made the ultimate sacrifice and saved his land.'' Harry said and that was the end of their discussion.
Harry was looking furiously at the text book while Jasper couldn't help but look at the mortal teen in gratitude, for amusing him and yet making valid points he had never thought about in the first place himself considering the war they were discussing.
''I would have love to have you by my side if I go to war.'' Jasper joked as he nudged his little friend to bring him out of his glaring contest with the book. Harry smiled a sad yet grateful smile towards him.
''As would I..'' refering to Jasper.
O_O_O_O
Harry was rubbing his arm, trying to wield the pain away. It had been bothering him for about an hour now and he felt that all his energy was draining.
''..rry.''
''arry..''
''Harry!'' Emmett had tried to get his attention for about 2 minutes now but had yet to break his mates daydreaming state.
''Hmmm? Yes?'' He asked, a bit absent yet.
''Are you alright? Is your arm bothering you?'' Emmett asked in concern, mentally killing Harry godfather.
''A bit, nothing to worry about though. So how was your afternoon yesterday, alright?'' He asked, trying to change the subject away from him. He knew that they had seen what had happened in the car with Moony but he didn't want to talk about it here, not until they would have the talk on Friday, explaining everything.
''Booooooring! I broke my xbox...'' Emmett whined and fake cried on Edwards shoulder. Harry was amused, seeing how Edward tried to read his mind but nope! He had concealed it so Edward only heard it in parselmouth. Then again, it seemed more difficult to conceal it against Edwards abilites.. strange..
''Well you shouldn't throw it to the wall if you want to keep it intact.'' Jasper scolded amused.
''Wait. You broke it in a fit of rage?'' Harry asked, not concealing his disgust. Dudley had done the same thing over and over when he had loosed or wanted the next upgraded version on the toys his parents had purchased while Harry only received condescending words and chores with the occasional head-slap together with lost food privileges for days.
''Yeah...'' Emmett confessed looking ashamed, he'd noticed that even though his siblings found it funny, his mate hadn't and he also saw a flash of hurt coming from his eyes, why?
''Then maybe you shouldn't play?'' Harry told him as he left the table, leaving the vampires in shock. Emmett was about to rise but an arm on his shoulder stopped him.
''Emmett, sit. Harry is upset and you can't reason with him right now.'' Jasper told him. Harry had been emitting emotion of disgust, then hurt and confusion and also a tiny bit of jealousy.
''Did you hear his thoughts?'' Jasper asked Edward, who looked confused and frustrated.
''Well I can't hear what he is thinking, but I saw flashes of a fat kid breaking things and room filled with broken toys.. then one with a furious man holding a chore-list and a glint of a cupboard.'' Edward said, he couldn't put the pieces together but all of them had noticed that Harry valued his possessions with care.
''But I can't help it.. and it's not like I can't afford a new one..'' Emmett moped, not understanding why his mate was so angry with him.
''But not everyone can and I think that is what made Harry frustrated and angry with you.'' Rosalie said, she had always lived a life of luxury but after becoming a vampire she'd seen the world differently.
''...Oh..'' Maybe Harry didn't have a lot of money? Maybe that was why he didn't have a cellphone..
''Hmm, could be..'' Edward hummed in agreement, though doubting it, seeing that his godfathers car was way more nicer then the average salary man and Harrys cloths was not of the cheaper kind. And who was those unknown men?
O_O_O_O
Harry had calmed himself, it wasn't Emmett's fault that his childhood had been close to nothing. He was going to apologise as soon as he would see Emmett again, which he didn't doubt would be until later this afternoon. But to his surprise there he sat alone by the window, looking like a kicked puppy. Harrys irritation was on the surface but once again, he knew that Emmett hadn't meant to offend him, he too had a bad temper and usually decided to scream at the cause of his problem or about it.
''Hi..'' Harry said a bit shyly.. making Emmett look up at him in surprise but hope.
''Hi! Harry, do you wanna sit with me?'' Emmett asked rushed as he dragged out the chair next to him. Harry giggled a bit before sitting down beside him. It seemed like Emmett wasn't mad at him.
''I apologise for earlier.. I lost my temper again..'' Harry said embarrassed as he rubbed the back of his head looking sheepish.
''No, you're right. I shouldn't break my things just because I can by new ones easily, it's childish and stupid..'' Emmett said in shame. He hadn't wanted his mate to look down at him, but to be proud and awed by him.
''Not more childish then leaving in the mids of a conversation..'' Harry tried to console, he to was at fault for putting the shame in the larger mans ego. It hurt to see the older vampire sad and it didn't sit right with him nor the ache in his chest.
''I guess were both pretty stupid huh?'' Emmett joked, glad that Harry wasn't mad at him anymore.
''I guess we are.'' Harry agreed chuckling when Emmett's playful grin resurfaced.
O_O_O_O
''Bye guys! See you tomorrow!'' Harry yelled as he rushed towards the car, waving goodbye towards his friends. He froze when he saw that Remus eyes had turned black again, and gripped his arm; rubbing it worriedly.
He walked slowly towards the car waving slightly at Moony, trying to ease the wolf. Harry was a bit frightened after yesterdays attack but it was his godfather, well part of him, so he knew that he wouldn't be hurt but just a bit roughed up..
''Hi Moony..'' Harry said a bit unsure as he sat down in the car. Moony didn't say anything yet. So it seemed as if he was safe enough to belt himself up.
''I hurt you..'' The wolf gritted out.
''It's fine, it doesn't hurt so much.'' Harry tried to reason.
''You're afraid of me..'' Moony said hurt, which Harry had never heard the confident wolf sound.
''No, well maybe a bit at first but I love you Moony..I though you were mad at me though..'' Harry said confused. Moony brought his Cub closer to him while muttering his own endearment back.
''Love you too cub, just.. angry.. Mutt should have checked for magical beings before settling down.'' Harry chuckled at that, of course Moony blamed padfoot like usual.
''It would have made things easier. But they are very nice and fun to be with, and it's nice to be liked for just being Harry.. not the other nonsense..'' Moony sighed, looked like he had to tolerate the veggie-vamps for his cubs sake.
''If they hurt you, you tell me.'' Moony said, firmly. Harry nodded and with a final grunt Remus was back.
''Hi cub.'' Remus greeted, glad that Moony had come to terms with the whole ordeal. Harry snickered and greeted his Remus with a hug.
''Hi.''
''So, had a fun day?'' Remus asked as they drove home. It wasn't far away from the school but a bit into the woods, making Remus a bit paranoid about leaving Harry to walk the distance alone.
''Horrible, fun, maddening.'' Harry concluded, making them both laugh.
''Is that so.. and the vampires? They're still okay?'' Harry nodded and told him about the history lesson with Jasper, his saint.
''If Jasper hadn't been there I think I would have died.'' Harry said over dramatically making Remus chuckle.
''Ohh, should he be my favourite then?''
''Nooooooo! He is great and he his my saint but Edward is by far the best! He was the first one to save me for the torture of Mike!''
''Mike?'' Remus asked confused.
''He's so annoying! Something must be seriously wrong with him 'cause despite me not acknowledging him, avoiding him and doing my best to let him know to leave me alone he still follows me around! And calls me 'flower'..'' Harry grumbled, mentally kicking Mike in the balls.
''Sounds like someone to watch out for.. shouldn't you talk with the teachers?''
''It's not like Hogwarts Remus, they don't care; they have no bond with the students. When school is over so is their responsibility.''
''Hmm..'' Remus was bemused about the information. Mike was something he had to deal with then..
O_O_O_O
Friday was here and so was the long awaited dinner at the Cullen's. Remus had gotten in contact with Carlisle at the hospital, keeping Moony under control as best as he could. Carlisle had been polite despite the offending smell of wet dog, knowing that this was a great opportunity for them to learn of each others and of course Carlisle already knew about Emmetts little mate.
''So about tonight, what's on the menu?'' Harry asked, faking being nervousness.
''Well I heard mom talk about a little wizard for dessert.'' Edward joked back, chuckling when Harry faked looking horrified, running towards Emmett.
''Emmett you wouldn't eat me right?'' Harrys puppy dogs eyes glistening with tears made Emmett melt into goo. He lifted Harry into his arms, holding him close to him, far away from Edward before he answered.
''Of course not, Edward you stay away!'' He said, making Harry laugh.
''Yeah! Go Emmett!'' Harry cheered, making Emmetts chest puff out in pride, even though they were only playing around.
''Time to take your princess to his class, it starts in five minutes.'' Edward said in amusement as he himself left for his own.
''We have English right?'' Harrys pouted as he was being carried towards the classroom of doom. He hated it, it was boring and the teacher always made them read about old romance writers.
''Unfortunately..'' Emmett answered with his own pout gracing his perfect face, making Harrys smile return.
''But at least it's with you.'' Harry said as he smiled at him. Emmett was once again glad that he'd lost the ability to blush, his mate didn't know what those words did to him.
O_O_O_O
''And then she just sat there, looking like Emmett was insane or something! It was hilarious!'' Harry laughed as he told the rest of the Cullen's about how Emmett had ''totally forgotten'' his book and just had to share with Harry despite holding his own copy in his hands.
''I forgot to get rid of the evidence! She was going to pair me with Jessica, I froze!'' Emmett whined in defence. Jessica was Newtons ''girlfriend'' if you could call her that, always drooling after more gossip and most of them contained Emmett.
Emmett had been one of the most sought out singles in Forks since they moved here 2 years ago. After awhile the Cullen's, including Emmett, had been categorised as loners so the pursuing teens had stopped breathing down his next and now that Harry had arrived and instantly befriended the beauties of the school.. well let's just say that the gossip was all over the place and Jessica had started to hunt down some juicy ones.
''Hmm she's scary..'' Harry commented as he nibble on his sandwich. He remembered how he'd been cornered by the mean girl once, trying to make him understand that he was hanging out with ''the bad crowed of the school'', pointing out their incest status and how their mother probably only adopted them because she was incapable of having her own kids. Harry had been furious and spitted her in the face, leaving without a second glance.
''She's scary? If i heard the rumours right it's you and your saliva we should be afraid of.'' Edward scoffed.
''Oh hush you! She was being rude.'' Harry defended himself as he stuck his tongue out at Edward.
''Exactly! It was selfdefense!'' Emmett commented, sticking with Harry.
''Against what? Mean words?'' Rosalie scoffed but noticed that it brought the mood down because Harry seemed to have lost his appetite.
Mean words hurt just as much as being hit, he'd learnt that from a small age and even though he wouldn't go back to that house he still had a hard time not thinking about it and second guess others intentions. It had been easy to like the Cullen's and he wasn't as jumpy to their touch, he could already tell that he trusted them after only a week and it frightened him, remembering the hurt from Hogwarts and his former friends.
''Harry? You okay?'' Rosalie asked softly, feeling guilty.
''Hmm? Yeah.. only thinking that's all.'' Harry said, trying to reassure her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
O_O_O_O
''So! We'll see you at six then?'' Edward asked, Harry had been a bit absent since lunch and even though Edward couldn't read his mind anymore he knew it was something that bothered the little wizard.
''Yeah, at six! But no eating me right?'' Harry joked, he had been a bit moody since lunch but hey, the past was in the past no need to be grumpy over it.
''No eating Harry.'' Edward said slowly as he faked making a memo on his phone. Harry giggled at it before waving goodbye when he saw Remus pull up on the drive way.
O_O_O_O
''Remus! Do I look okay?'' He asked nervously, standing in a long-sleeved black turtleneck with another pair of black skintight jeans, his hair hanging freely down his back in it's usual messy curls and Remus thought he look beautiful.
''More then okay, Harry. You are absolutely stunning.'' He told his godson, he knew it was hard for Harry to value himself in the regular sense because of his abuse and even though he had been handling his inner demons fine before his and Severus nightly talks he still had along way to go.
''Thanks.'' Harry said as he blushed, complements was not his thing yet.
''Come on guys! We're going to be late at this rate!'' Sirius yelled from outside, he may not be eager to meet with the vampires but he had to eliminate the potential threat towards his godson if there were some.
O_O_O_O
The car ride had been short, so short in fact that he was surprised to find himself in front of the Cullen home front door, knocking. A blond, quite tall man stood in the door entrance, smiling.
''Good evening, Remus.'' He greeted, shaking the werewolf's hand. Harry could see that despite knowing that the Cullen's weren't a threat towards his cub, Moony had a hard time not to snarl.
''Good evening, Carlisle. Let me introduce you to my pack, this is my godson Harry and my best friend Sirius.''
''It's a pleasure to finally meet you Harry, My children has talked a lot about you.''
''Pleasure's all mine Mr. Cullen.'' Harry answered politely, with a crimson blush adoring his cheeks.
''Call me Carlisle, and you as well Sirius. Remus has mentioned you a couple of times during our brief conversations.'' As Carlisle spoke he ushered them inside. Harry could see the Cullen children waving on the sofa and grinned as he noticed Edward looking amused.
''Dressed to impress I see.'' Edward joked as Harry sat himself beside the vampire.
''Oh these rags?'' Harry faked modesty, making the vampires chuckle.
''I think I'll have to rethink my promise to not eat you.'' Edward said as he pulled on the neckline. Rosalie snorted as she flipped him on the back of his head. As Edward though had finished glaring at his mate he noticed that Harry had moved location and was sitting in the lap of Emmett. Harry was blushing while chuckling at his 'saviour'.
''Emmett will protect me!'' Harry shouted at Edward as he snuggled onto Emmett's lap, woes inner vampire was purring in delight.
It's a bit shorter than usual ain't it? But frankly I wanted to end it here so I could start on another page in a couple of days. I hope you liked it so far and if you didn't I'm sorry that it didn't please your expectations.
