(Thoughts)
(A/N: Since everyone has been so nice, begging for a sequel, I just had to write the first chapter. I hope you all like it. Cookies for reviewers. As well, for everyone that reviewed my last chapter of Emerald Moonlight, here is your rose and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream I promised(: Please check out my other stories(: (Edited on 3/10/11: I will NOT post chapter two until I get at least 30 reviews. As of currently, I only have 10. This is unacceptable as the first story to this sequel has 182, which isn't really all that high either for a finished story. Please review or I'm discontinuing this story and all my other stories with it. I might even delete the ones I have already. My lack of reviews is upsetting.) )
Chapter One: Forgiven
Harry was excited that seventh year was here. He'd been anticipating it really. He would have his chance to apologize to Draco and Edward, given they'd calmed down since the last time he tried to speak to him. Maybe trying to reason with them over the summer hadn't been such a good idea. They'd slammed the door in his face and told him to stay as far from them as he could get. They didn't want to see him, Edward especially. Harry walked up, wrapping his arms around Jasper from behind. "Does Edward tend to hold grudges?" he asked him softly, biting his lip.
Jasper turned in Harry's arms, hugging him close. "No, not usually. For you, he'll probably make an exception, though," he said. "I mean, you did change his mate after all," he told his boyfriend, placing a soft kiss to his forehead. "But I'm sure that it will be fine," he added. "Edward will have to get over it. You're a part of the family now, whether he likes it or not," he said, smirking slightly. Jasper knew about the little fight between Edward and Harry, but he knew they'd been fine eventually. They had to be. He pulled Harry closer, turning so that they could see the sun setting in the distance.
For the summer, the Cullens and their mates, along with Ron and Hermione had went back to the states for some private time. Harry was immensely glad for this. Everyone was living in their own houses around the property except for Edward and Draco who lived in the next county. Having been pissed off when they'd come back after the too long plane ride in such close quarters with Harry, they'd decided they needed to be away from the others. Looking towards the door, Harry grinned, having heard the footsteps on the porch. "Don't bother knocking Neville, we know you're there," he said. "Come on in," he called. His vampires sense, he thought, had to be one of his favourite things, other than having his mate of course.
The door opened to reveal Neville, Alice, Hermione and Ron, smiling at them. "Are you two packed yet?" Hermione asked, striding into the house confidently. "We have to be on the plane back to England tonight, you know," she said, placing her hands on her hips. Her and Ron had been changed over the summer as well. Their parents both knowing of the magical world had been informed of this as well, even agreed upon it. While Ron had nothing special about him as Alice, Edward, Jasper, and now Harry did, Hermione had a special power of her own. She could force her prey, or in this case her 'family' to do whatever she willed them. "Go pack!" she commanded. Harry was the only one that slunk up the stairs, huffing slightly.
She looked at Jasper, raising an eyebrow. "I've already packed," he told her with a grin. I did it last night when Harry was out hunting with Ron," he told her. Hermione nodded, then looked at the others. "Anyone else not packed yet?" she asked and Ron nodded. "I should get my things together," he said. "I have been... busy," he said. He turned and sprinted back to their little home not far from Jasper and Harry's. They all watched him go, Alice grinning like the Cheshire cat. She, of course, knew what Ron had been busy with, but she wouldn't tell Hermione that. It was a surprise and she wasn't about to ruin it.
Neville, being more confident now that he'd been changed, and nothing like what he'd once been, spoke up. "How about one last hunt before we go?" he suggested to his mate, wrapping an arm around her waist. "It's gonna be a while before we get the chance again. Hunting at Hogwarts always was a challenge for you, dear, remember?' he said softly. He tugged her towards the door, nodding to the others. Hermione and Jasper were now alone. She sat down, smiling at him. "So, how's Harry been?" she asked, concerned for her friend. She knew that he'd been having a hard time since the last time he'd seen Draco and Edward.
Jasper shrugged. "As well as one can be when riddled with guilt. I was careless, though. I should've known not to let humans in the room. I blame myself as equally as I blame Harry," he said. "Edward doesn't see it like that, though,' he murmured. "I try my hardest to keep Harry calm, though,' he said. "It's draining when he starts thinking about them and the guilt rises to the surface, though I know it's there all the time, I'm sure. He's always been one good at hiding his emotions,' he told her and she nodded.
"Yes, I know that very well," she said, sighing softly. "I still worry about him though. He seemed so miserable that day, after Edward slammed the door in his face. But then again, only time will tell if they ever forgive him. I think Draco wants to, but doesn't want to anger Edward. I know he had to be pleased when he got changed, after begging so much," Hermione murmured. Jasper chuckled softly. "Oh, he was," he said, having felt the waves of pleased emotions from Draco on the plane. No one but Harry had seen Edward or Draco since then. "Are they coming back with us, do you think?" she asked.
Jasper thought for a moment. "I'm sure they will, Draco would want to," he said, smiling as he heard Harry's footsteps coming down the stairs. "You two are talking about me again," he called, having heard most if not all of the conversation. He grinned, moving into Jasper's lap. "Mione, I know you're worried, but really I'm fine," he said. "I do blame myself, but I did bite him without the right or consent to do so," he said, laying his head on Jasper's shoulder. Hermione smiled at him, standing up. "Alright Harry, but I worry about you, you know that," she said. "I should go see if Ron has finished packing yet," She murmured, rolling her eyes.

Draco lay on the couch, looking up through the sky light in the ceiling. He'd been that way for hours, not moving an inch. Edward wasn't home, he was talking to Carlisle and getting their plane tickets and travel times. Draco had wanted to go see his friends, but Edward had said he'd be real quick and there'd be no point. That was five hours ago. Finally, he heard the sound of tires turning into the drive. He jumped up, happy once more. Edward, his love, was home. He hurried to the door, peaking out.
Edward's Volvo sat in the drive. He threw the door open and hurried out to greet him. "What took you so long?" Draco whined as Edward opened the door. He stood up and moved to him, taking him into his arms. "There was a wreck not far down the road. I was stuck in traffic most of the time," he said. He sighed, kissing Draco's lips softly. 'I missed you," he murmured, picking him up and carrying him back into the house. Once seated on the couch, he kissed Draco once more. "The plane leaves tonight, we will have to pack," he told him. Draco smiled. "I already did that," He said. He had always packed a day early, even before he met Edward.
Edward nodded. "Then I shall pack," he said, but Draco stopped him. 'Already done that, too," he said, grinning. "I got bored while you were gone. I packed your things, then lazed around on the couch," he told him, leaning against his chest, lips moving to place feather light kisses along his neck. Edward gasped softly. "Draco, I wouldn't start that if I were you," he said. "We'll never leave the house, then," he said, grinning at him. He knew once Draco got started, it was nearly impossible to get him to stop.
Draco frowned at him. "But I want to," he pouted prettily at his mate. Edward kissed his pouting lips, but still persisted in his decision. "Not right now, Draco," he said. "We need to talk about something," he murmured, stroking his boyfriend's back slowly, gently. Draco nodded, looking into Edward's eyes. "Yes, love?" he asked softly, biting his lip. Edward stayed silent for a moment, making Draco worry, but Edward kissed his temple lovingly. "It's nothing bad, stop thinking like that," he said. "It's really about Harry. I think I've been too hard on him. I mean, he did do us good," he murmured. "I wouldn't have changed you on my own unless it was a life or death matter," he told him, causing Draco to frown.
'Now that's just cruel, Ed-weird. I think I deserved to be changed, everyone else got changed, even Ron and Hermione, I'm sure,' Draco thought, crossing his arms, his frown deepening. Edward shook his head. "That's not even a good reason, Drake. What is popular is not always right, and what is right is not always popular. I didn't want you to be a monster like me," he told him. Eyebrow raised, Draco scoffed. "You're not a monster," he told him. "You're a vampire and my mate," he told him softly, kissing his jaw.
Edward smiled at that. "Thank you, love," he murmured. "But back to my point, Drake. I was wondering, do you think Harry is deserving of our, or at least my forgiveness?" he asked. And Draco nodded. "Of course. As you said, he did us good," he murmured. "I miss seeing my friends, too," he added. "It's been all summer and we live thirty minutes away and I have seen not one of them but Harry and you were so rude to him," he said, shaking his head. Grinning then, Draco kissed him once more. "Can we get back to my first idea now?" he asked. Edward nodding, standing up, pulling him to their bedroom.

At seven o'clock sharp, Jasper, Harry, Alice, Emmet, Rosalie, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Esme and Carlisle stood in the boarding area of the airport, waiting on the last two members of their little group. Esme would be going to England with them this time, unlike before. Around seven o' three, Edward and Draco joined them. Draco hugged everyone but Harry, who was keeping his distance. Beckoning to him, Draco tugged him into his arms, mouth close to his ear. "We forgive you," he murmured, looking over at Edward. Edward smiled at them, nodding. "Yes, Harry, it was wrong of me to treat you so nastily," he murmured.
Just then, the over-com announced the boarding of their flight and they all made their way to the gate they were instructed. When everyone was on the plane, seated rather closely for talking purposes, Harry leaned his head on Jasper's arm. "It feels pretty good to be going back to Hogwarts, though I can't say I didn't enjoy my time spent with you and our family," he murmured. Jasper nodded slowly, kissing Harry's scar softly. "You know, you never did tell me where you got that," he said. "Was it that Voldemort man you, Hermione and Ron are always whispering about?' he asked and Harry blushed, nodding a bit. Harry sighed softly. 'I promise I'll tell you about it when we get to the school. It's not safe to discuss here," he told him.

The little group had arrived in England half an hour before they needed to board The Hogwarts Express. Apparating being the fastest means of travel, that's what they did. The train sat in front of them, smoke billowing from it. "Everyone ready?" Carlisle asked, looking at the teenagers and his wife in turn. They all nodded and boarded the train, lugging the trunks and storing them away with more ease than the average student, being that they had an advantage.
The train ride seemed rather short this year, having been surrounded by friends and family made the elapsing time go by much quicker than it would have otherwise. Harry sat in Jasper's lap, and the others all in their respective partners. All except for Carlisle and Esme who were more than likely patrolling the train. "Is everyone excited, or is it just me?" Ron asked the group, smiling when everyone agreed with him. They were all quite happy to be on their way to school once more, though saddened by the fact that this would be their last year there.

Upon arriving at the school, everyone grabbed a carriage, not all being able to fit into one. They were taking to the castle and allowed into the Great Hall where the Welcome Back Feast was to be held. Harry tugged Jasper to his table, not even allowing him to sit with his own house. "Come on, most of us are over here anyway,' he said, seeing that Emmett had made Rosalie sit with them as well. Once everyone was settle they looked towards the head table where the sorting was just about to start. "This is my favourite part," Hermione said softly.
The sorting began and ended rather quickly. Once it was over, everyone clapped, welcoming their new first years into the respective houses. Dumbledore stood, quieting the crowd with a raise of a hand. He cleared his throat before he began his speak. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I have a few things to say to you all, and I think it best to get it out of the way before you become befuddled by our excellent feast... I would first like to introduce our Prefects and our Head Boy and Girl for the year." he said. He named off the prefects for each house, most of which Harry didn't know.
"As for our Head Boy and Girl, we have decided that Hermione Granger, from Gryffindor, is to be our Head Girl. Miss Granger, please stand if you will," he said, his twinkling eyes finding her easily. She stood, nodding to the crowd, obviously not surprised that she'd been picked. If anybody else was, they didn't show it. "And our Head Boy is Draco Malfoy, from Slytherin," he said, smiled and the houses applauded politely. Draco stood up, grinning like he'd won the World Cup. Edward grasped his hand, grinning at his boyfriend's happiness. Draco and Hermione returned to their seats as the headmaster began to speak once more.
"On a different note, I am pleased to welcome a new teacher to our ranks this year. Madame Cullen, who has kindly consented to help out in the infirmary with Madame Pomfrey. Treat her with kindness and please remember that she is here to help you," he said. "Well, I think that is everything of importance. Let the feast begin!" he said, clapping merrily as the food appeared on the table. The first years, as always, stared at it in amazement. "Dig in, it's really good," Ron mumbled to one of them through a mouthful, earning a cuff on the ear from Hermione. "Swallow then talk," she reprimanded him. Ron rolled his eyes, stuffing more food into his mouth though he hadn't the need to.
Harry just grinned, holding Jasper's hand tightly beneath the table. "I'm glad that we are all here and everything, including Mione and Ron's bickering is the same," he said. "Congratulations, by the way," he said, looking down the table and Draco, who had been snogging Edward. "Thanks, Harry," he said, going back to his previous activity, though everyone could see Edward didn't mind a bit. Alice and Neville sat talking quietly with Hermione about classes, Ron was still stuffing his face, as was Emmett until Rosalie grabbed him by the ear. She held out a utensil. "It's called a fork, use it," she said, pushing it into his hand. Jasper and Harry both laughed, Harry turning to smile at Dumbledore, who winked at him.
Everything was as it should be, but Harry knew that things wouldn't stay that way. Voldemort would most likely strike this year, as he'd been oddly silent lately. There had been too much calm and it worried Harry. He sighed, knowing he'd have to tell Jasper about this later. When the feast was over, everyone retired to the Gryffindor common room, sitting and lazing around. Harry took Jasper's hand, leading him up the stairs. "I told you I would tell you and that's what I'm going to do," he murmured, sighing as he tugged Jasper into his dorm and to his bed.
(A/N: Ohhhh, next chapter Jasper finds out about Harry's Voldemort riddled past. How does he react? If you reply, I'll hand out cookies(: I love you all)
