Hey, I'm Arianna; I decided to try a new story out, another Harry Potter and Twilight Saga crossover. I truly hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think. Yes, I do know that the timeline in this story is a bit wrong, the original story has drastically changed to try and accommodate with this, just go with me here :). My stories may came to a bit of a stop soon as my laptop broke (I blame my sister). I am trying to get it fixed and then my updates will be more thorough.Plot: Emmett McCarty is mauled by a bear and saved by Rosalie. 30 years after leaving his pregnant wife (Dorothea), Rosalie and Emmett find a young boy, Harry, and decide to take him in. Emmett knows there is something strange about Harry Potter and he thinks he knows what it is.Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series by the amazing J.K Rowling, nor do I own the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer.
Emmett McCarty was laying low, recently Europe was being dominated by the dark wizard Grindelwald, although it was many years ago that he had finally been defeated. Emmett worked lugging timber for an American company and to secretly help Dumbledore in the after events of the war, he knew that Dumbledore needed him to remain where he was until notified.
He was married to Dorothea McCarty, originally a Black, which was arranged by both sides of the family. Emmett was not sure how he felt about his new wife, they had not known each other for long, it was a difficult concept for him to start a family with someone he truly didn't know and marry straight out of Hogwarts. Dorothea was unwell and was at a Healers office to make sure nothing was wrong, she wasn't truly sick, she just needed to talk to the healer, and she was pregnant and planned to tell Emmett as soon as he returned from work.
Emmett was working alone in the depths of the forest, cutting and preparing the timber. He did this job with no magical help; he loved working with his hands. Emmet lugged a large tree trunk down and prepared it for movement by the other men when he was startled by something large knocking into him and taking the breath away. Startled, he looked up to see what had caused the tough man to wipe tears from his eyes due to the pain. He was startled when he came face to face with a large bear, twice the size of him and ready to attack again. He reached in his pocket for his wand, but it had fallen out when he was attacked and now as the bear stepped towards him, the creature stepped on his precious wand and he heard it snap clean in two.
All Emmett could do now was squirm as the bear would surely kill him. He had never been good at running and would surely trip, he turned wildly and did the only thing that came to mind, he shouted for help. The seemed to anger the bear and it came running towards him. Emmett assumed that the bear, since it's so heavy, would be a slow runner, he was wrong, he turned in the opposite direction and started running, but he wasn't fast enough. He felt the sharp claws in his back and after some time became unconscious.
. . . .
Rosalie Cullen was hunting alone when she heard a male's voice yell ahead of her, he sounded scared. She started running in the direction of the yelling before she smelt blood, enticing blood that she wanted to consume. She paused for a moment before hearing another painful yell and tore off in the same direction, holding her breath. She quickly found the scene and saw a large bear attacking a man, she quickly grabbed the bear and threw it off the man, who seemed to be unconscious. The bear quickly found its footing and started going after the new threat, Rosalie. She jumped high and landed on the large animal's neck, she wrapped her arms around the creature's neck and pushed, it was no time before she heard the creatures neck break and it slumped to the floor.
Rosalie turned her attention to the man lying on the ground, in a pool of his own blood. For that second he regained consciousness and looked her straight in the eyes and Rosalie knew that she had to take him back to Carlisle, she loved him, simply by looking at him. She put her arm under his neck and hesitated for a split second, not wanting to further hurt the man. She could turn him right here, a simple bite, right? It would be easy. Rosalie knew though, that once she started she would likely be unable to stop. She hoisted the man into a sitting position and put her other hand underneath his knees and gently lifted him off the ground. Once she felt she had him safely in her arms, she took off running, the fastest she could and hoped that this man had enough fight left in him to live.
It was a long run in Rosalie's mind, she kept glancing nervously down at the man in her arms and hoping that Carlisle could save him, he had to save him. It had taken half an hour to reach where the family were staying but they ran out to meet her as they all smelt the blood.
"What are you doing, Rosalie?" Edward asked, looking down at the bleeding man in her arms.
"Carlisle, he was attacked by a bear, can you save him, please?" Rosalie asked in a desperate voice, she was crying, yet no tears escaped her eyes.
"Rose, he's too far gone for traditional medicine." Carlisle said his voice soft and soothing.
"I know that." Rosalie said between sobs, "turn him, please?" She pleaded, looking into Carlisle's eyes. Carlisle looked at the person he considered a daughter and nodded.
Rosalie rushed the man upstairs and laid him onto one of Esme's less expensive tables. Carlisle was rushing around like a proficient doctor trying to find morphine; he quickly administered a large dose and tried to leave enough time so it could spread. Carlisle looked down at the young man and felt his pulse, very weak and thready. He knew that the morphine would have no time to spread. He looked at Rosalie and then at the young man no he knew was dying right in front of him, he sighed and bit down on the young man carotid artery, so the venom could spread.
. . . .
Emmett was in pain and it hurt, damn it hurt. But, he could see the silver lining and it was that beautiful girl that was kneeling over him, maybe she got him help, maybe he'll be alright now. Gosh, she was gorgeous, she had long blonde hair that fell in gentle waves past her waist and concerned golden eyes, mesmerising eyes, she had beautiful curves and a smile that made Emmett not hurt as bad, he could see she was concerned. He felt bad though, here he was ogling at this girl when he was married. Yet, in comparison, Dorothea was plain. On a normal day, Thea was beautiful, lots of men ogled her and she would smile and flirt back, Emmett wasn't really jealous though, he barely knew her, they were only married three months. Thea had dark brown hair that just fell down past her shoulders, and eyes to match, she was very naturally thin and had a warn laugh. Emmett wasn't sure when he had zoned out again, but the next time he woke up the pain was a lot worse.
It felt like his neck was on fire, like someone had opened his body up and poured flaming hot liquid down there and it was spreading. He opened his eyes and saw the beautiful girl there again and a man that looked to be in his late twenties looking at him with concern, they were both holding his hands. Emmett didn't know where he was, he had no idea where this beautiful room was, but he was sure it wasn't a hospital.
The pain intensified, his whole body was convulsing in agonising pain, he focused on the beautiful girl who made it seem like it was worth it, and it did for the first hour or two. After that the pain intensified and he started to scream, he knew it would do no good, these people clearly couldn't help him, but it was an involuntary reaction.
. . . .
For three days Rosalie stayed by the man's side, trying to reassure him. every time he convulsed or screamed or yelled to Carlisle to 'just kill him already' she tried to soothe him, by squeezing his hand, playing with his hand or just muttering nonsense to him. After three days everyone heard his heartbeat become irregularity fast, before it stopped altogether. Rosalie held her breathe for some unknown reason and waited patiently for the man to open his eyes.
Emmett slowly opened his eyes and was shocked at what he saw, everything. Literally everything. He could see so much clearer than when he was a human, even a wizard human. He could see each individual speck of dust floating around the perfectly white room, he could see each of the fibres that held together to become the dark blue curtains. He could also hear everything, he heard what was meant to be hushed conversation in the next room that sounded like someone was yelling in his ears, and he could hear the buzz of insects somewhere close. Emmett slowly sat up and turned around and faced that same girl that was in his dreams and smiled at her, the smile he received back was dazzling.
"Do you remember anything of what happened to you?" Rosalie asked still clasping the man's hand.
Emmett looked at the girl for a moment, trying to remember, but all his memories were blurry and he didn't know why. "I was working and a bear attacked me, the next thing I truly remember is being here and feeling like my whole body was on fire."
The beautiful girl flinched as she heard Emmett talk about the pain, she knew how it was, and she remembered it all too clearly. "I'm Rosalie," the beautiful girl said, pointing to herself and then she turned to introduce her family members. "This is Edward, my brother. And these are my parents, Carlisle and Esme."
Emmett nodded, taking in each new face as the beautiful girl who was called Rosalie pointed to each of them. He instantly noticed that something was strange about them, he loved researching magical creatures and he knew that they were vampires, yet he also knew something else just by looking at their eyes. They didn't eat humans, they clearly only ate animals and somehow knowing that fact made him feel safer and then reality hit him.
"I'm dead, aren't I?" He asked, now that he knew just what they were, he knew he was one too, Rosalie had saved him but as soon as he uttered those words she looked hurt and somehow, angry at herself.
"Yes, I am sorry but you were dying, it was the only way to save you." She said, looking remorseful and Emmett immediately looked sorry with himself.
"I didn't mean it like that, I'm very thankful that you saved me. It's just that it is all so very foreign to me; I know nothing of being a vampire." Emmett said gracefully and upset that he hurt Rosalie. However once he uttered the singular word 'vampire' all their faces were shocked.
"How did you know what we are?" Asked the man identified as Edward. Emmett was confused, then he suddenly realised that normal human beings should not know what these creatures were.
"I was a wizard; I escaped from England with my wife due to the Wizarding War. Many of our friends and family have been murdered because of Grindelwald." Emmett said, sadly recalling past days.
"Ah, we are not a myth to you, because you are meant to be a myth as well."The man called Carlisle said, looking off into the distance. Emmett didn't look at him though, he was looking at Rosalie as she appeared to be very upset over something, and maybe something he said or did? The family looked at this interaction and simply nodded at one another and left the room
"Um, Rosalie, are you upset at something I did?" Emmett said nervously, somehow fearing that she might snap at him at a moment's notice.
"Emmett, you did not do anything. I just took you away from your wife, you must be so angry with me." She said, looking down at the fingers interlocking together at her lap, feeling as though she would cry, if she only could.
"Hey, no, look at me." Rosalie slowly looked up and their eyes met. "You did not take me away from Dorothea; I would have died if it was not for you. Dorothea and I married due to an agreement of our parents; we simply did not love each other." Emmett said, realising his feelings for Rosalie, she looked at him and smiled and then launched at him and he shared an amazing first kiss with his true love Rosalie.
. . . .
Within a year after Emmett was killed by that bear, Dorothea was, once again, happy. She had married another pure blood wizard, it was too arranged by the family, but she truly loved Charlus Potter, both she and her son had taken his last name and she never told James about his first father, his biological father.
When James was just 19 years old life was grand, he was in the Order of the Phoenix with his best friends and training to be an auror, he was engaged to the most beautiful person in the whole world, lily, and he had a fine life, living in Potter manor. Yet, as James came home one night he found his parents in their upstairs bedroom with a healer beside them. James was worried, his parents were elder and he knew that many dangerous illnesses.
The healer had been sent away and James walked slowly over to the bed and knew what his parents had, he just didn't know how they could have kept it from him, as they appeared to be in the late stages of Dragon Pox. James fell to the floor next to his mother and openly cried, he just could not believe that these beautiful people he knew as his family were dying.
James hated going to the solicitors, yet this needed to happen, to read his parents will. He knew he had to keep up with the formality! But he really didn't feel like it, it had been barely a week since his parents were taken by Dragon Pox and he knew what was in the will, his parents told him so, since he was five years old. They left everything to him, all their many riches, the Potter manor and everything that they ever owned. The Solicitor had given James something unexpected, a letter from his parents and he quickly opened it and read quietly to himself whilst he solicitor went into the other room to give him privacy.
My son, James.
I realise this information is far too late and I now realise that your mother and I should have told you as soon as you were old enough. Yet, I was foolish, I tout if you knew the truth, then you wouldn't love me in the same way. I was a stupid and selfish old man, James and I truly hope that you can forgive me.
Go up into the attic and a box labelled McCarty will, hopefully, give you some closure and information. You see, I was not your mother's first husband, I was her second. She was older than her husband and it was arranged by the two families, she married a young man, 19 at the time, named Emmett McCarty. After the first war he was in the forests of America, finding information for Professor Dumbledore, he was doing a muggle job and one day he was attacked by a bear, he was dead as soon as the bear snapped his wand. Your mother, Dumbledore and I actually think he was rescued by vampires. We believe that he was turned to save his life and he has been living with them since. They generally stay in the same spot for several years before moving on to the next place. We found this information after your mother and I married and after Emmett was declared dead. You are surely asking why I am telling you this information, simply because Emmett is your biological father. He never knew about you, the day your mother found out she was pregnant was the day that Emmett McCarty was mauled by a bear.
I truly am sorry, son. I only ever wanted the best for you!
Love your father.
By the time James had finished the letter; wet tears were streaming down his face. He knew his father and mother had meant well, yet, somehow he was angry at them for not telling him. He tried to shake away the feeling, his parents weren't here anymore, he couldn't be angry with them, he just couldn't. He went out to find his wife and tell her his revelation, he wanted to find his father and desperately, yet, he didn't know where to begin his search; he knew that they left often to avoid being noticed.
The next few years were a busy time for James, he and Lily got married and had a son, Harry Potter, he was just over a year now, he was busy fighting Voldemort through the Order of the Phoenix and as an Auror, yet this was difficult as Voldemort had targeted his family and they were in hiding at Godric's Hollow in Lily's parents house, and he was desperately trying to locate his biological father. James thought about all his tasks as he walked to his front door underneath the invisibility cloak.
His wife happily greeted him and he sat down and played with his son, he was only too sad that Harry couldn't go out and participate in Halloween, a holiday James thoroughly enjoyed. October 31st 1981, a night James thought would be special, and it was, just not in a way that he expected. James turned at a noise and saw a sight that terrified him to his core.
"Lily, take Harry and go, I'll fight him off." James shouted and he heard her grab Harry and scurry off up the stairs.
"Avada Kedavra!"
. . . .
Over the many years the Cullen family had grown, Emmett was the last that Carlisle turned, but he wasn't the last family member. Years after Emmett was turned Alice and Jasper turned up and they were now their siblings. Emmett and Rosalie were married and so was Alice and Jasper, Edward remained alone and Emmett felt sorry for him. At their house in 1983 Alice had a vision that changed the Cullen's lives.
"Hello there little one, can you tell me your name?" Rosalie asked a small boy with raven hair and round glasses, underneath the glasses were the prettiest green eyes that pierced back into Rosalie's golden eyes.
"Harry." The boy answered nervously. "Harry Potter."
