AN – I know people hate facts and explaining in Author Notes but I could think of any way to explain why Rosalie won't be a part of this story without mentioning to only mention of her not being here. I didn't want Rosalie to leave or cheat on him, nor did I want to kill her, so she was never turned. Before you ask about Emmett and how he was turned that will be later on in a different chapter.

Carlisle, Esme, Jasper and Emmett were thankful to see Alice, Edward and Bella safe and sound, even if their sudden entry was shocking and surprising. The four had been sitting in the living room waiting for news on Edward when four people appeared in the middle. Alice was a ball of energy rushing to Jasper. Edward and Bella still clung to each other. Leaving another standing nearby.

Emmett was happy to see his brother and sisters safe. Yes he did think of Bella as a sister. He had been worried when Alice had told Edward that his singer was dead, but in reality just with the shifters. But seeing them reunited made him feel happy but lonely. He was the only one single now in the family. Before it had been him and Edward but well he found Bella. Looking away from the happy couples, he was the first to notice a tall man with short black hair in jeans and red t-shirt. He was as tall as Emmett himself but wasn't as burly. He had a leaner build, but still looked strong. The stranger looked like he was surveying the room, before meeting Emmett's eyes. Something sparked between them, than it was smothered like candle.

It was around that time that Alice was finally done catching up with her mate, and turned to the others.

"So most are probably wondering about mysterious hottie over there?" Alice chirped.

"We are definitely wondering about the mysterious part," Carlisle answered.

"Well he is our baby-sitter/protector," Alice told them.

"Perhaps you should give us the quick and dirty version," Jasper told his wife.

"Right, so Edward went to the Volturi, Bella and I saved him, didn't matter though, since they were going to kill Bella, this hottie over here was observing the Volturi wondering if he should join them, saw how little they appreciated human life, it had only a few hours that he had been there, stepped in front of Edward and took Janes gift without even flinching or appears too. Glares at the Volturi who seemed to shrink within themselves, and without a word grabbed Edward and Bella by the scruff of their necks, tilted his head towards me and stalked out of lair. Went to an abandon shack, told us to hold hands, his first words by the way, and the next thing we know is that we are here."

"Breathe Alice, dear," Esme teased.

"So it seems we owe you a debt of gratitude, my friend," Carlisle stated, "Would also like to here the extended version as in a little bit."

The stranger looked weary and said, "Just let me stay here for abit and we'll be even."

Everyone seemed shocked. Most would demand money or something of the like. Carlisle was the first over his shock and said, "Of course, it is unfortunate that we don't have another room, but our couch is quite comfortable."

"Thank you" the strange said with tilt of head.

Emmett being the bold person that he was walked over to the stranger, seeing the weary glance didn't stop him at all in fact he clasped an arm over the shoulder. It seemed like everyone was holding their breath, this was unknown vampire and dangerous at that, and Emmett was treating him like an old friend.

Which was partially true, to Emmett it felt like he had known the stranger all his life.

"So buddy what is your name? I'm Emmett."

He got an eyebrow raised, "I'm known as Hadrian Evans these days."

"What was your previous name?" Emmett asked curiously.

The air went chilly and the eyebrow flattened and Hadrian said in a flat tone, "I don't know you well enough for that."

Everyone else felt the chill except for Emmett, who placed his in peaceful gesture, saying, "Chill dude, just trying for conversation."

Carlisle feeling the need to resolve the tense atmosphere, said, "May I ask how you happened to appear in our living room?"

The chill went away but the flat tone was still there, "I'm a wizard/vampire hybrid."

"Can I ask what you mean by a hybrid?" Carlisle inquired.

"Most wizards turned vampire lose their magic, I did not," was the explanation they got.

"So wizards are real?" Emmett asked and everyone but Bella seemed like they wanted to smack him.

But Hadrian answered with some warmth in his voice, "Yes. Appearing in the living was proof enough correct?"

Emmett was going to say no but the glares from everyone else made him say, "yeah."

Apparently Hadrian knew what Emmett was going to say before that and had caught the glares directed towards him. Hadrian tore the hem of shirt and held it in one hand, while they waved over it, the torn fabric became a dragon. Well not a real one, before like realistic plushy and, with a flick of his finger the red dragon took flight, twirling and diving chasing imaginary things, before settling on Emmett's shoulder.

Hadrian ran a finger along the torn hem of his shirt and the shirt fixed itself. Emmett was so amused by the dragon that he missed the looks exchanged between his family. Hadrian allowed a small smile when he watched Emmett smile and play with the dragon, before disappearing into the kitchen. When Emmett turned to thank Hadrian, he found that he was gone. Frowning he asked his family where he went but they were all staring at him weirdly. Emmett made his escape to his room with the cool dragon Hadrian made him.

"Alice, Edward perhaps a little more detailed explanation please?" Carlisle asked. While he was happy that Hadrian saved his children's lives, he was also concerned about the Volturi.

"Right, well, we got there just time before Edward tried kill himself," Edward flinched at this, "Bella saved him and we were getting ready to leave when we were stopped and taken in front of Aro, Caius, and Marcus. There was another, Hadrian, standing there, he had been talking to Aro apparently before we came in. Seeing that the Leaders had business, Hadrian stepped back. So Aro began talking to us, asking how you were and if we wanted to join the Volturi, yada yada yada, anyways, Edward opened his mouth since Aro started taking a personal interest in Bella, saying that she had to be turned or killed and Edward refused. Well that pushed Aro a little too far and he bade Jane forward. Apparently that ticked Hadrian off for some reason, since he moved forward when Jane started her gift on Edward, he moved in front and just stood there. Edward was able to move and think again. Hadrian glared and Jane backed down and the glare seemed to intensified as it moved to Aro. Aro must have known something, since he seemed pale and back down. Same with the other two. Then Hadrian looked at us, and like I said before, he grabbed Bella and Edward by their scruffs."

"That actually hurt," Edward added.

"Mine didn't he was actually really careful. I didn't stumble at all," Bella stated.

"Anyways he lead out of the here-" When Alice was interrupted by Bella's phone ringing.

"Hello?" Bella answered the phone.

"Where have you been?" Charlie's voiced boomed over the speaker.

"With Alice," Bella answered, which was the truth just not the whole truth.

"Oh. Did you forget to tell me you were spending the weekend there?" Bella was confused. She could have sworn Jacob would have told on her.

"Yes, I'm sorry Dad," Bella answered meekly.

"It's okay pumpkin, just remember to tell me, okay?"

"Of course Dad. Love you bye!" Bella said trying to end the conversation.

"Bye Bella."

Bella stared at her phone then at Edward then Alice with confusion in her eyes. Edward shook his head.

Alice's eye's glazed over then answered, "It was Hadrian. He talked to your dad. It seems that you might not want to flaunt your relationship with Edward in his face though, he still remembers the horrible breakup."

Bella still confused was grateful to Hadrian. As was Edward.

"Why would he help us like this?" Edward asked.

"That I don't know, and no I don't know how he helped us," Alice answered.

"I think perhaps we should let Edward and Bella catch up, same with Alice and Jasper," Carlisle said.

"Wait, did anyone else notice the interaction between Hadrian and Emmett?" Esme questioned.

"Yeah, Emmett wasn't weary off him at all, his emotions matched those more of seeing an old friend," Jasper stated.

"Hadrian also seemed to indulge Emmett in his touch and question about magic, where as I get the feeling the rest of us would have been ignore," Edward replied.

"Is Emmett even gay?" Bella asked.

"I don't know, he's never been interested someone before." The small family seemed sadden by this. They had never noticed Emmett was always alone. Even Edward had on/off flings with other vampires. He was always happy, though. Perhaps it was time to get to better know their son/broter.

"I'll go talk to him, if you my love will go see if you can find Hadrian?" Carlisle said, making his up the stairs to Emmett's room.

"Of course," and Esme was walking toward the kitchen. The other two couples dispersed as well.

Emmett was laying on his futon watching the dragon fly. He was thinking about his reaction to Hadrian. It really did feel like he was meeting an old friend. He also felt that he could probably push Hadrian beyond his control and not be hurt, where others would suffer. He was also thinking of how Alice was right about how sexy he was. It has been a while since a person had caught his attention.

There was a knock and Emmett called out to come in. Carlisle came through and Emmett didn't notice the thoughtful look as he was still looking at his flying dragon.

"You know, it surprised me that Hadrian could read you so well," Carlisle started.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I mean most would have taken your answer about magic as truth and let it lie, but while everyone was glaring at you, I was watching Hadrian watch you. He seemed to know the real answer."

"I was kinda surprised he did do that magic for me."

"All of us were, but I get the feeling, he was also chastising us for making you quell your real answer, hence the dragon form."

Thinking about it would make sense. Dragons had tempers and protective. But why would Hadrian be protective over him?

"So, is that all you came up to talk about?" Emmett really hoped it was.

"No. There no subtle way to ask, so I'll be blunt. Are you gay?"

Emmett felt like he was blindsided. Blinking he turned to look at 'father'. His family never cared before and there hasn't been anyone to take a chance on. "Um, yeah."

"Ok."

"ok?"

"Yes, ok. So Hadrian huh?" Carlisle said, trying to joke.

"If this your attempt at humor, please don't," Emmett said with a playful whine showing he wasn't serious.

"If he is the one, we'll support you. All of us will."

"Thanks." He really didn't want to get gushy with his father figure.

"Right, well I'm here if you need to talk."

"Gotcha."

There was an awkward silence and Carlisle stood and said, "Well I got some paperwork for tomorrow."

"Ok. See ya."

And Carlisle left and Emmett let out a human sigh. This ought to be an interesting next couple weeks especially with school starting next week and it is already Wednesday.

Esme was in search of Hadrian. She really didn't know what to say to him, but like she should to reach out to him. He seemed too detached, well unless he was looking at Emmett, then there was some warmth in there. She would bet her flower garden that they were probably mates. Looking in her kitchen, she didn't see Hadrian, so she continued outside, to see him sitting in the middle of the wet grass gazing at the lilies she had just planted. Walking over to him, she carefully sat next to him close enough that it didn't seem like she was being forced, but far enough way to give him space.

"You have a beautiful garden Esme," Hadrian complimented quietly.

Startle, Esme murmured a thank you. She in all honesty thought she would have to be the first to start.

"How did you know I was the one that planted it," She asked curiously.

"It has a mother's feel to it."

Well if that wasn't an odd answer.

"Thank you," Esme said, hoping he would understand that she was thanking him for her children's lives.

"You're welcome," and Esme had a feeling that he did.

"So what are you planning on doing now that you are here for a while?"

"School or job."

"Perhaps you should go to school with the children."

"So I look young enough for high school?" and Esme could see the teasing in his eyes but hear the unasked question of can I be a teenager?

"An older senior, definitely," She answered, and the soft grin made her feel like she accomplished something.

"What would be by alias?" And the playfulness was gone.

"Perhaps Carlisle's cousin? Coming to stay for a year or two?"

"Why would I be coming?"

"Needed a change in scenery, wanting to try a small town for change, parents died," She started listing but trailed off when Hadrian stiffened when she mentioned parents.

"That's not far from the truth is it?" she softly questioned.

"No, that would be the best story though, its close enough to the truth."

Esme's undead heart went out for Hadrian.

"We could go tomorrow and get you registered, then later some school supplies and more clothes."

"Thank you but I don't need any more clothes," Hadrian told her.

"I didn't see you with any bags."

"I'm a wizard, I just shrunk all my belongings, they are in my pocket."

"Oh."

And that was the end of the conservation. The two sat there side by side in silence, till it started to rain and Esme went inside. But Hadrian stayed right where he was staring at the lilies and remembering his own mom. He may not have any memories of her, but he still felt her love.

AN – This is for Alec McDowell, Alec asked for an Emmett and Harry one. Hopefully this will meet the standards. Let me know if you all like it.

Also they will all be in the same year.
