Unfortunately the wares seemed to put quite a dampener on the next few das. Though harry couldn't understand why, all of the Cullen's were quite on edge about the situation. From what he could pick up, Alice had broken an agreement between the two groups by biting Harry and that put the shadow of war over their heads.

Apparently Bella had a connection with the pack and was now under frequent questioning about the wares and how suspicious they were which didn't please Edward at all. He was very possessive of the girl and she was infatuated, it reminded harry of a love potion and then he always remembered how much he missed magic. It wasn't even like he could try a simple spell with his wand in bunch of tiny pieces.

He wandered around the house without much to do usually sticking by Jaspers side. Jasper didn't mind much as he had clearly taken a liking to Harry, but it was clearly beginning to annoy Edward.

Jasper was the distant brother who didn't really open up to anyone other than Alice and that was accepted until Harry came along.

Jasper was more of a brother to harry than the other two after only a few weeks and there was the distinct feeling of jealousy from Edward who seemed fine to accept Jasper when he was a background guy but to have Harry turn up and create a bond that even after years of companionship Edward had not been able to form was infuriating for him.

He was also still wary with Bella being around Harry, weather, as he said, it was because Harry was still a newborn and couldn't be trusted or the fact that it pushed harry further out to the sidelines he didn't know.

"Hey Harry out here" Harry had been musing in his room when Jasper called him from the garden. One positive thing about being a vampire were the lack of human limitations, the speed and hearing and sight all added up to an almost acceptable exchange.

"Hey Harry I'm off on a hunt, fancy joining me. It'll be a weekend thing, mountain lions and the likes." He smiled knowing that Harry would be unable to refuse an offer like that.

"Damn right I will, anyone else up for it?" He said already jogging the length of the garden with Jasper.

"Nah, there all wedding planning. Bella and Edwards big day isn't far off." Jasper smiled the way he always did when the wedding was mentioned. It was a huge controversy among the Cullen's, though they were all happy for their second oldest member (in actual live years)Harry and Jasper in particular had difficulty understanding why he would put himself through all the fuss when he could turn her.

Of course it was his choice but surely she would be safer as a vampire. Though apparently they had discussed and decided so on their heads be it. Secretly there were bets among the Cullen foster children about her chances of survival if she got her dream of a proper honey moon.

That was soon the last thing on the boy's minds as they approached the mountains and slid into hunt mode. A vicious state tat allowed them to completely lose themselves, that is if they weren't disturbed by a painful burning scent.

"Great, I run away to escape you people and look who turns up but you people" The voice came from behind Harry and Jasper who turned in the same moment, keeping their defensive crouches and letting a low growl escape their mouths.

"What are you doing here wolf?" Jasper asked and sure enough a giant wolf stepped out of the trees and just looked at them. "If you won't talk we'll be on our way."

With a sharp growl he backed up and Harry couldn't help staring after it in awe, he had seen wares before but that was like nothing he had laid eyes on the most perfect goldenish brown fur that caught the light perfectly.

The boy that stepped out in place of the wolf was even better. Realising what he was thinking Harry tore his eyes away and stared at the ground, resisting the urge to step closer.

"I'm here to get away from your kind. That idiot brother of yours plans to marry the girl I... the girl I loved and then probably kill smash her to pieces on the honeymoon, I can't cope with the god damn voices in my head when I'm a wolf or the feelings I feel when I'm human... stop that." He glared at Jasper who was obviously trying to influence is mood.

"Bit close to home for someone who's running away aren't we?" Jasper said unfazed by the glare he was receiving.

"Well like I said, he's marrying the girl I loved past tense and I was half making my way back. I've been bouncing around for ages trying to make a decision."

"You know the wedding id in a few days?"

"Don't remind me."

"I thought you were over her."

"Just because I don't love her doesn't mean that I'm over her, I still care and I don't want the life to be sucked out of her, sometimes I think that she'd be better dead than like you."Harry grabbed Jasper to hold him back as he leapt for the boy and regrettably turned to look him in the eye.

Harry had always suspected that he was gay. Sure he'd had feelings for Ginny but he'd always felt odd kissing her and often wandered what it would be like to kiss Draco Malfoy of all people. But this was different. When this boy met his gaze he felt different somehow. Like there was something more to it than just having a crush.

"Jasper calm down. You'll only regret it." Harry's new born strength was a good match for Jaspers high Venom intake, though harry was clearly wining he was starting to feel like he shouldn't be restraining Jasper at all. "Oh and you can stop that!" harry said wafting his hand at the black steak of anger emanating from Jasper to him.

Shockingly hen he pushed it, the streak moved, curling back around to Jasper who seemed to feel it as well and relaxed a little.

"How did you do that?" HE asked straightening up a little more and looking at Harry curiously.

"I just pushed the light away and it went" he said with a shrug which was enough for Jasper.

"You're learning how to use your power. Twelve months and you'll be legendary brother." He smiled all thoughts of a fight forgotten but not for long the boy growled, a genuine growl that put those of Jasper and Harry to shame.

"Brother! You can't be serious? I'm gone for five minutes and all of a sudden the treaty has disappeared!" He yelled and Harry hated himself for hoe hot he found the other boy at that moment.

"I didn't turn him Jacob, just calm down and realise that. He's like me and Alice, he's not turned by Carlisle like the other four." He wasn't quite as good as Alice and Jacob was cleverer than Sam.

"So you and Carlisle didn't, that leaves quite a lot of Cullen's up for the title of turner. You know it's against the rules Jasper, the only reason we let you live is because you don't kill humans but he's pretty dead now isn't he!"

"Oy! I'm not dead, dead people don't talk believe me I've met a few."Harry shuddered at the blurry memory of inferni, he certainly wasn't a living dead man. "And you can forget all your assumptions, the Cullen's didn't turn me!" He snapped having to hold Jasper back once again.

"oh and who are you? Your eyes are red so your newborn and your strong enough to hold back scar face here so you're really young." Harry noticed that Jacob didn't meet his eyes when he spoke looking anywhere but Harry's face.

"I was Harry Potter, right now I'm Harry McCarty when we move from Forks I'll be Harry Whitlock, take your pick."

"Like I care about it Harry, I just feel sorry for you, they destroyed our life and you don't even realise it." Before they could say another word to him he was a wolf bounding into the forest.

"Well he's pleasant!" Harry said whishing that he didn't have to watch him leave at all.

"Yeah he has issues. There was a huge thing between him and Edward about Bella but Edward won and no matter what he says I don't think he's over it."

"What he seriously thought that he could part the dream couple in all their soul-mate glory." Harry laughed. Bella and Edward hardly made their feelings secret, less so over the past few days.

"yep and he very nearly did, for a few months there was an issue with a triangle sort of thing and Bella kissed both of them more than once. But it's all past and believe me it's best not brought up especially so near the wedding."

Harry whished that Jasper hadn't brought up Jacob and kissing, that would be very distracting when he was trying to hunt.

Sure enough he ended up doused in blood as though he had been part of a massacre much to the amusement of Jasper who hadn't spilled a drop despite having had more than Harry.

Harry had seriously lost his apatite after meeting Jacob, it was difficult to fall into a killers mind frame when you had a lad on your mind. It was the first time Harry had ever truly had a person on his mind and he didn't care much for it.

"Jasper, that guy who showed up before, who is he?" Harry asked as they made their way back.

"It's strange really, by birth rights he is the leader of the wolf pack but he refuses to accept it. He ran away after an argument with Bella that she and Edward don't talk about." He shrugged as though it was nothing really but now he had Harry thinking.

Why would anyone reject that kind of power? What had happened to make him run? Why the hell did Harry care so much!
