Chapter 1

(Old Friends and New)

It started out as a normal day, if you would call it normal. The Dursleys had just yelled at me for sitting in the living room. So I had walked outside desperate to enjoy the day as best as I can. It was getting late probably around 7 or 8 as the sun died down. Then I saw it an unusually fast figure run past about 50 feet away. I pulled out my wand not knowing what this thing was but I did know for sure that it was not a muggle.

"HEY" I said as I lighted my wand. The figure hesitated but when my wand lit it stopped to look at me probably curious. Then he started coming over very slowly looking very uncomfortable like he should be going faster. He was about 5 feet away when he spoke.

"What are you?" The figure spoke. As his face came into my wand light I could see his face. He had very pale skin, his hair was reddish brown, and his eyes were gold. As I looked at him I got very irritated and said

"well what are you?"

"Well ill start with my name I am Edward Cullen and who are you?"

"I'm Harry Potter."

"What's that in your hand?" Edward asked a little too politely. I hesitated if he wasn't a muggle and didn't know what a wand was well…..

"it's a wand." I said "haven't you ever heard of wizards I can tell that you're not a muggle so what are you?" He also hesitated looking at me like he was trying to read my mind I looked away from his eyes as he spoke.

"Well I am a vampire my family and I are here visiting some of our fathers old friends."Edward thought for a moment and asked me, "I'm wondering why I can't read your mind I mean excuse me but when I first saw you I could and now I can't."

"I dunno." I said, "I thought I was no good at occlumency."

"Hmmmmm…that's funny ill have to talk to Carlisle later, "He said more to himself.

CRACK!!!

"Get down," I told Edward. "Someone just apparated."

"Appa-"

"Shhhh…" I cut him off. He got down. I looked around to see where the apparater came from. Then Edward pointed to the left. I turned around seeing a wizard in the distance with a long white beard wearing a traveling cloak-

"PROFESSOR," I yelled at Dumbledore standing up so he could see me. Edward gave me a hard look I nodded then he followed. Once Dumbledore realized who it was he gave a look of concern.

"Harry what are you doing out it is much to late." He was not yelling at me though I wish he would.

"I'm sorr-"

"No need to apologize Harry now did you forget that I was coming here to collect you?"

"No sir its only 8 o'clock I thought you were suppose to get me round eleven."I said

"Indeed I was but one of my appointments was cancelled so I came to get you a little earlier that I expected sorry for the inconvenience," he then looked at Edward standing behind me a little ways a slight smile came onto his face.

"Ahh I see you have meet one of the sons of one of my oldest friends Edward Cullen."

"How do you know Carlisle?" Edward asked Dumbledore.

"We met in London and have been helping each other out ever since, I haven't heard from him in a while. Well Harry we must be getting along now I daresay you may come along with us Edward if you would like to."

"No I should get back to my family now but I'll let Carlisle know I meet you."

And with that Edward ran off in a blurr. Dumbledore and I apparated after to the Burrow. I was remembering all the questions I wanted to ask when we got there.
