"Rosalie where are you going? Don't you dare….." Edward Cullen said glaring at his sister as she stood up and made her way over to a table that held a teen aged boy with messy black hair. The woman did not respond, she only completed her trek and then took a seat across from the other teen.
"Rose?" The teen asked wondering why the "Ice Queen" of the Cullen family was sitting with him, after all that had happened.
"My brother is what are they calling it now these days? A Tool?" The other teen smiled before giving a laugh at her words. She was one of the most intimidating people at the school; most girls envied her while the boys wanted her.
"You don't…" here the teen stopped when he noticed a large shadow over where Rosalie Hale and he sat.
"Rose" whined a very large burly looking teen as he stood over the table where the pair now sat.
"I refuse to sit with that brother of mine. I *like* him and nothing Edward decides is going to make me *stop* liking him. So if that means a rift between us then so be it" Rosalie said to the burly teen before he plonked himself down in another chair at the table.
"You *like* me?" The dark haired teen asked amazed that Rosalie Hale was actually admitting to liking him, little old Harry Potter.
"Of course, what's there not to like?" The burly teen said wondering how his brother could be so self-centered. The dark haired teen gave a shrug before wincing, which was a decidedly bad idea.
"Again" Rosalie asked concern evident in her words.
"Yeah, but I'm emancipated now"
"Esme is beside herself you know" Emmett said watching the teen and wondering yet again about why Edward was such a jack ass.
"I…I….I had sort of hoped to uh" Harry just didn't know what to say. He had planned out his emancipation for a good long while with the help of the Cullens, but now with Edward's and his friendship over he wasn't sure where his plans stood.
"Don't worry about it" Rosalie said already thinking of the small cottage on the property that would be suitable for Harry and his needs.
"Yeah, okay, right" Harry said rubbing the back of his neck. He could tell that Rosalie was cooking up something he just didn't know what.
"Eat" Rosalie said pushing the small try of food to Harry, and then watching closely as the teen ate slowly.
"How bad is it?"
"Well"
"Should you even be here?"
"No" Harry answered honestly; he knew that the pair could probably smell the blood in the air but he was lucky in that they didn't think of him as food.
"Let Emmett help you to class"
"I'm okay"
"Harry"
"Just let me do it, I'm already getting enough attention with you here and your family over there" here Harry pointed to where Alice, Jasper and Edward sat, one glaring while the other two looked on curious.
"Indeed" Rosalie conceded before looking around the room that they sat in and stopped on the person that had caused the rift and fight that now had the Cullens broken up.
"I hate her" Rosalie murmured to Emmett, knowing full well that Harry had heard her as well along with her brother sitting at the other table. It was well known at the school that Rosalie Hale liked no one besides her family and her boyfriend but it was also known that Rosalie Hale hated Isabella Swan, her brother's current girlfriend. Harry said nothing, he was already in enough hot water, and he didn't need to agree with Rosalie only for Edward to hear.
"I won't allow you to be walking around in this sort of condition" Rosalie said again looking over at the dark haired teen.
"Harry" Emmett called out only to have the teen shake his head. It was clear on his face that his uncle was unhappy with him. He had tried using his usual glamour but had been unsuccessful with covering everything.
"Harry" Rosalie said now clearly concerned over the teen sitting across from her. It was here that Harry looked up and the pair of vampires that sat across from him winced, a move that was rarely if ever done. They hadn't noticed before the condition of Harry's face.
"Can I say again I hate that *human*" Rosalie all but snarled. It had been the girl's fault that Edward was no longer friends with Harry, and it had also been her and her lies that Harry had attempted to do something to her, that made Edward rage at his one-time best friend. The girl couldn't have been here less than a year and she was already causing more trouble than she was worth; at least in Rosalie's opinion.
"You can and I can *totally* agree with you" Harry said before glaring at the girl in question, who was sitting next to gossip queen Jessica Stanley smirking at Harry as their eyes met. Harry chanced a glance over to the table that Rosalie and Emmett had left and saw that Alice seemed deep in conversation with Edward before standing up and dancing her way along with Jasper to where he sat with Rosalie and Emmett.
"My brother is a tool" Alice said agreeing with what Rosalie had told Harry.
"Oh Harry!" Alice said she had seen the fight that had occurred but had been unable to do anything about it since Edward had banned them from helping Harry in any way. No one had been happy about the demand but had played nice until Edward started acting like a jerk again. That had come that morning when he had all but told the family that they had better find their own way to school since he had to pick Bella up and she didn't like being crowded. That had made Rosalie mad, and she had taken her BMW Convertible to school, toting Alice, Jasper and Emmett with her. The final straw had come when Rosalie saw Harry being hassled by Mike Newton and his friends over him not being liked by the Cullens any longer. She had wanted to step in and at about the time she was going to slice the teens down, Edward had popped out of nowhere and told her to leave it be, that Harry deserved everything he got. Rosalie hated being told what to do and she especially hated when Edward told her what to do and acted like a jerk and that he was better than anyone. So instead of taking a seat at the usual table they did at lunch, she had made her way over to the *only* human that she liked in her long existence.
"Yeah, I finally got my emancipation papers last night. My uncle wasn't happy about that" Harry said wincing as he touched his warm and bruised cheek.
"Here" Alice said taking a seat next to Harry and placing one of her cool hands on his cheeks, instantly making him feel at least a bit better.
"So how bad is it?" Jasper asked, he could feel the emotions coming off Harry and they ranged from pain to sadness and one glimmer of happiness.
"This is with a glamour on" Harry said knowing that the vampires would sense if he was lying or not. Everyone at the table held their not necessary breath; if this was how bad Harry looked with a glamour then they weren't really sure on how he was even up and about.
"Do you have somewhere to go?" Alice asked, she didn't want to make Harry any more uncomfortable than he already was.
"Uh, no. That was sort of the reason I was getting hassled by Mike Newton" Harry said looking at the group and wondering what he had done to have the four vampires at his table, again.
"What do you mean?" Emmett asked confused, it wasn't like Harry to go looking for a fight it just wasn't his way.
"Well there is an apartment above the store that they owned and I asked his mom if I could rent it out"
"And his mother sent the message via Mike" Rosalie summed up, that still didn't give Mike and his loser friends the lee way to give Harry a hard time. He was already having a plenty hard time as it was.
"So"
"No, they don't want *my kind* around the store" Harry said before playing with the limited food on his plate. He was quiet hungry but he knew with the limited amount of food that he best make it last.
"Here" Rosalie said jumping up and getting some things from the lunch line so that Harry could eat. She had to get away for a moment, for she didn't want to scare Harry more than he already was. When she returned it was to see that Alice seemed to have taken up some sort of first-aid on Harry while everyone sort of watched the table with either awe or distaste.
"You're making a scene" Harry said quietly, he didn't want Edward to hear but he knew regardless the male vampire would hear and probably make his life more miserable than it already was at this point.
"I don't care" Alice said before pulling out a tissue she kept for some odd reason, mostly to act like a regular teenaged human. She began to dab at Harry's face making some people wince, most thought that Harry didn't deserve that sort of thing but knew better than to go and help. Emmett looked over to where Edward now sat alone and saw that he had a scowl on his face, obviously unhappy about the turn people's thoughts had taken. It was then that Emmett watched as Isabella Swan made her way over to where Edward sat sulking acting as if she was concerned.
"She is so fake" Emmett said amazed that his brother was actually falling for the routine that she was giving of being a concerned girlfriend.
"We all know that" Rosalie grouched out not at all happy with the state of things.
"You didn't answer my question" Alice said looking at Harry wondering when he was going to answer. She had asked while Rosalie was getting some lunch for him if he had found a place to stay since he couldn't stay in the apartment above the sporting goods store. He had yet to answer her question, she had a feeling she already knew the answer but she wanted to hear it from Harry first.
"I don't have any where to go" Harry mumbled hoping that the vampires wouldn't be able to understand what he was saying.
"What do you mean?" Jasper asked, this was the one human that he could deal with. For some reason the slight teen didn't smell like food. They had theorized that it had something to do with Harry's wizarding background but couldn't confirm it. He had at the beginning smelled like food to all of the members of the Cullen family, but as they got to know him his smell became less and less appealing to them.
"Well my *loving* uncle dropped me off here at school with a 'and don't come back' and well I don't have any money to rent a hotel room and Forks isn't a place that has tons of places for me to go" Harry explained quietly knowing that Edward was listening in on the conversation even from a distance.
"Jasper" Rosalie said knowing that the military teen would know what she wasn't saying. Jasper nodded his head and left the cafeteria after kissing Alice on the lips.
"What are you guys up to?" Harry asked, he didn't want to put any more strain on the Cullen family Coven if he didn't have to. He was already causing enough trouble because of Isabella Swan and her lies.
"No worries" Alice chirped before going back to trying to help Harry with putting his face back to rights.
"I should kill her" Rosalie mumbled so that only Emmett and a still fussing Alice heard. She got a shake of the head from both and a slightly evil smile from Alice.
"She'll get what's coming to her, soon" Alice said knowing that her coven members would leave it alone, at least for now.
"Oh what's that smell?" Emmett asked as he watched as Edward and Isabella Swan made their way over to their table.
"Dog" Rosalie said loud enough that both their brother and his girlfriend heard it.
"Wet dog" Emmett said agreeing with his wife, Isabella Swan for the past few weeks had taken up reeking of dog, which meant that she was staying over in Quileute land which she had been told to stop doing, and she obviously didn't understand or didn't care about the treaty that the two groups had made many years ago.
"Emmett" Edward said with a warning in his voice, as if that would stop him this time.
"What do *you* want?" Rosalie asked clearly unhappy with having to smell the dog smell that hung in the air.
"What do you think you are going? Sitting here with *him*?" Edward began lowly making Isabella Swan prim at the words that were rolling out of Edward's mouth.
"We are taking care of a family member, something you should try and remember" Rosalie said her voice taking on an icy tone. Isabella Swan had at least enough sense to wince at the words.
"He's not family"
"To you maybe but to us he is, and remember that when you decide to bring your toy around" Rosalie sniped knowing she was making Edward angry, she didn't care. Edward had taken one scent of the girl who stood next to him and deemed her his mate; it was just too bad that no one in the family believed him. They all knew better, Edward had found his mate over two years ago, when they had first moved to Forks from Alaska.
~Flashback~
A small teen made their way toward one of the more crowded area of the campus. He knew he had no business being there, but he had to go that way to get to his first class of the new year.
"Potter, where do you think you are going?" The small teen stopped before quickly walking away from where a group of boys played rowdily.
"Potter, I'm talking to you" Mike Newton said as he made his way over to where the other teen had now stopped.
"Potter you are such a loser" Mike Newton said before pushing the smaller teen making him tip over due to the weight of his book bag.
"Loser"
"Apologize" another teen said which had the small teen looking up and seeing who was standing up to Mike Newton and his group of friends.
"I'm not apologizing to that freak and who are you?" Mike said defensively before really looking at the teen standing in front of him.
"Do so now or you will force me to do something that I will regret" the bronzed-haired teen said making Mike Newton scared for the first time.
"Sorry" Mike said not at all sorry, the smaller teen took the apology knowing that if he didn't he would pay later on.
"Be gone with you" the other teen said before making his way over to where the smaller teen still rested on the ground.
"Hi there" the bronzed-hair teen said before sticking out his hand, something that his family did not do. It was a huge no, no to give a human a hand.
"Thanks" the other teen said not really noticing that the hand he had taken was cooler than it should be to the touch.
"No problem, Edward Cullen by the way"
"Harry Potter" the smaller teen said before he was being guided to his first class that he had, with Edward following talking about things to do in the small city.
~End of Flashback~
That had been the day that everyone in the coven except for Edward had figured out that Harry Potter was Edward Cullen's mate. He hadn't done that sort of thing even when meeting Isabella Swan his current girlfriend, so they had known instantly that Harry was special. When they got to know the teen, they found out about his wizarding capabilities, something that the town knew him for. His strange ways and witchcraft that he did, Harry had stated that he didn't mind all that much but his uncle did. The Cullens took an instant liking to Harry and from that day forward you wouldn't see Edward Cullen without Harry Potter close by, now though things had changed and you couldn't see Edward Cullen without Isabella Swan.
"You will respect Bella"
"I don't have to do anything of the like. She should keep much better company than she does" Rosalie said before turning up her nose, the smell was enough to make her want to leave. She didn't know how Edward did it, for he had to know that the smell was much too strong for friendship to be the only thing occurring.
"Rosalie" Edward said his teeth clenched, showing how on edge he really was about things.
"Edward" was shot back; it was at that time that Jasper came back in and the bell rung to signal the end of the lunch period.
"Gotta go, bye, bye" Rosalie said waggling her fingers at her brother and his girlfriend before helping Harry stand up.
"Let's go Edward" Isabella 'call me Bella' Swan said before stomping away knowing that Edward would soon follow. It was in a split instant that Edward's and Harry's eyes met, and Harry actually saw the concern that Edward had for him but it was gone before he could analyze if it was true or not. Edward mumbled something under his breath that only his family members could hear and then left to find his girlfriend.
"Things set?" Rosalie asked Jasper before getting a nod and then a quick smile from the other forever teen.
"Good" Alice and Rosalie said before they were guiding Harry to his next class which just so happened to have Edward and Isabella in it.
"I hate my life you know" Harry said casually, it was good to have his family back that was for sure.
"Don't we all" Emmett questioned before making a face at Harry which had the teen laughing something that he hadn't done in the days and weeks after Edward had ripped into him about the Swan girl.
"Lucky thing I don't have any more classes with them, you should see it, no on second thought you shouldn't" Harry joked, he was really trying to keep his mind off the pain that was running through his body at the time.
"Someone will be here to take you to your next class" Rosalie said before placing Harry in his seat and then leaving the room with a glare to everyone there but especially her brother and the Swan girl. Harry could only shake his head, only Rosalie could scare a teacher.
"Order" and class begun, each class thereafter was met with Harry being greeted at the door by one of the Cullen members and being helped to his next class. By the end of the day Harry was quite ready to crawl into bed and never come back out. He had heard the rumors that were flying around Forks High School about why the Cullens, minus Edward were helping him around. Most had come to some sort of conclusion that the Cullens knew about his home life not being the best and so sought to help him out. Most figured once he was better that things would return back to the way it had been weeks prior with the Cullens sitting at a table by themselves and Harry sitting in the corner avoiding being noticed.
"Harry" Alice greeted the teen once the final bell had rung.
"Hey Alice" Harry said tired as she helped him to his locker.
"What's that" Alice asked before being told that it was the things that he had been 'allowed' to take from his uncle's house.
"Not much, but that's fine" Alice chirped already planning a shopping trip for Harry in the coming days, if he were up to it. It was good to have her buddy back, she had been heart broken when Edward had laid down the law that no one was to go near Harry any longer. Before they had sort of just let things be between the pair but when Edward had gave the directive Alice had almost broken in two. Harry besides Edward and Jasper was her only true friend. It was tough to be friends with Rosalie and Emmett didn't have a serious bone in his body, so he wasn't someone she could confide in some of the visions that she had. Edward usually always had something to say about the vision while her husband just nodded his head and agreed with her. None of the responses she wanted, Harry though always was willing to listen to her and talk things through, make her realize that her visions were a blessing and not a curse.
"Yeah, it wasn't a ton there I wanted anyway" Harry agreed with Alice before leaning on her for support as they made their way over to where Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper stood by Rosalie's car waiting for them to arrive.
"Uh oh" Alice said slipping in and out of a vision very quickly to see the oncoming conflict.
"What" all three Cullens said at the same moment.
"Here comes trouble" Alice said before Edward and his girlfriend made their way over.
"What do you think you are doing? You can't possibly be thinking of taking *him* home" Edward said the venom of the words hitting their intended target, which made the human girl smile. Oh life would be perfect soon enough, if only she could figure out the reason for Edward's hesitation to bring her to meet his parents. They would after all marry, if she had anything to say about it, she just wasn't cut out for this sort of existence.
"We're taking him to a doctor if you must know, I would have thought even you would have some compassion at seeing him as he is." Rosalie spat at Edward, she was quite tired of his holier than though attitude he had taken up since going out with the bint in front of her. She meant nothing to all of them and that was the main reason on why she had not been granted entrance into their house. That was the one place that they could be themselves and if they allowed her entry that would mean they would have to put on their masks, something that they shouldn't have to do in their home. The girl didn't suspect a thing about them, and most could tell since she hung out with Jessica Stanley, who was known to be a gossip queen and trouble starter.
"He's faking" Isabella Swan said before sneering at the group and then leaving. As soon as she became Mrs. Edward Cullen she would make Edward cut ties with those that he called family. Emmett and Alice rolled their eyes, as if anyone would do this sort of thing and then lie about it. Edward stood with his family for a moment before Isabella was calling for him to come over to where Mike Newton and Jessica Stanley stood making plans for the football game that was to happen later on that night.
"Home you go" Alice said before loading Harry and his limited things into the car where Rosalie sat gripping the steering wheel. Her brother was being a complete and utter Jack Ass about this and she couldn't wait until he got his, for he had it coming. Harry said nothing at the words; he knew that nothing he would say would stop them. The drive to the Cullen resident was made with Alice giving odd predictions about what Mike and Jessica would be doing after the football game.
"Harry!" Esme greeted the group as she saw the BMW convertible pull up to the house.
"Hi Esme" Harry said before blushing, Esme was always able to get him to blush for no reason.
"You look a fright, come, come Carlisle is waiting for you" Esme said directing Jasper, who now had Harry into the house.
"Harry" Carlisle said before frowning at how bad Harry looked.
"Glamours off" Carlisle said having already heard that Harry had his glamours on. Harry took a deep breath and prayed that the Cullens wouldn't kick him out the moment they saw how bad he was.
"There you go" Harry said without his glamours on any longer.
"Harry how can you see?" Was questioned by one in the group, Harry truly did look a fright; one of his eyes was swollen shut while the other was barely open. It looked as if someone had stood on his face for there was a huge shoe print on his face. The Cullens could only assume how bad the rest of Harry's body was if his face looked as bad as it did.
"Come" Carlisle said waving Harry into a room that he had set up when he heard about his condition and plight. He truly loved Edward, he did but he knew along with the rest of the family that Isabella Swan was not Edward's mate it was Harry. If she was anything it was his singer, a person's whose blood made you do anything to try and get.
"Here" Carlisle said pointing to a sofa like item in his office before the room was crowded with Cullens and Hales.
"A little peace"
"Right" Alice said taking the hand of both Jasper and Emmett and looking to Esme for help with Rosalie who was stationed on the other side of the room, watching Harry like a hawk.
"Rosalie" Esme called out only to get a growl.
"She can stay" Harry said knowing that Rosalie wouldn't leave even if she had to. Esme nodded her head before closing the door quietly behind herself. She like the rest would wait downstairs listening for when they could return to the room.
"Your uncle sure did do you in, didn't he?" Carlisle said before going to his desk and getting a file that he had on Harry to make sure that he charted everything that happened to Harry should his uncle try and get custody of him later on.
"He wasn't happy at all about the emancipation going through" Harry said from one side of his mouth since the other side was pretty much swollen shut.
"I bet not" Carlisle said before getting out his camera and taking photos of the damage that had occurred to Harry at the hands of his uncle. Rosalie watched from the corner she stood in still as a statue, she had taken Harry in just like everyone in their family when they arrived. She remembered the day that Edward brought home the slight teen to introduce to his family, everyone including her had fallen instantly in love with the boy; and now here he was looking like he was on death's door. Not something she liked at all, she would make sure that Harry's uncle would pay.
"Here, this will help for the pain" Carlisle said pulling out some pills and handing them over to Harry.
"Now Harry we really need to talk about living arrangements and power of attorney" Carlisle said looking very serious. Harry shook his head; he didn't want to think about that right now. All he wanted to do now was curl into a ball and sleep for all eternity.
"We need to make sure that your uncle can't get a hold of you again"
"I…I…do what you must and I'll sign whatever" Harry said looking very, very young.
"Jasper" Carlisle called and waited only a second before the military teen was at the door way to the room.
"Draw up Power of Attorney with myself and Esme as legal guardian over Harry" Jasper nodded before disappearing, ready to use one of the many degrees that he had gotten while in college.
"Rose" Harry said holding out a hand, the medication that Carlisle had given him was beginning to work its magic for Harry really didn't feel any pain. Rosalie was over there in an instant, she could tell now that her's and Harry's relationship was deeply affected by her disregarding her brother demand.
"You can come back" Carlisle said cleaning up the few things he used and then placing his file back into his desk and then sitting in the chair. There was plenty of work that needed to be done and so little time, for he knew that Harry's uncle, Vernon Dursley would make every attempt at getting Harry back under his control. He had seen it happen one too many times, and this was one time he wasn't going to allow it to continue.
"Harry" Alice said now dancing back into the room and grinning like the Cheshire cat, she had seen something and it must have been something good.
"Four hours" Alice said before asking Harry about what he thought about something that had happened in class. Harry laughed before falling right to sleep, he was safe, happy and dare he say it, but home, a place that he never had with his Aunt or his Uncle.
