Can't Fight The Moonlight

Chapter 2

The rest of the weekend went pretty fast, Harry got used to living with his mum. They spent the entire Sunday together, talking getting to know one another much better. Harry grinned widely every time he found he had something in common with his mum. So it came as no surprise when the day flew in, watching sitcoms and films anything that was on as they continued to talk.

"Why didn't you ever find someone to spend your life with?" asked Harry softly.

"No one every interested me son," said Lily honestly.

"It's a shame" said Harry softly, his mother wasn't exactly horrible looking. She deserved some happiness, but right now he could see she was very happy. Her green eyes much like his own were twinkling brightly. Just like his did when he was happy, Harry was surprised to realize it had been a long time since he had been happy.

"What about you? Did you leave anyone you liked in London?" teased his mum.

Harry wanted to laugh, he missed this his dad used to be like that until that day. Now he had his mum to tease him about boys, not that he had any boyfriends before.

"No there's never been anyone" admitted Harry sadly.

"Aww what a shame I'm surprised no one has asked you out yet…you are stunning" said Lily beaming beautifully.

Harry blushed bright red, "Thanks mum"

"Don't be surprised if you have people going after you left right and centre here…most people are pretty plain here" grinned Lily truthfully.

Harry laughed "I wish" as hard as it was to believe him only being sixteen he wanted a proper relationship. Someone to treat him properly, someone to love maybe? Someone who would buy him things, someone to buy things for those kind of things.

"How are you going to get to school?" asked Lily changing the subject seeing her son looking quite down.

She hoped her son found someone, just like she hoped she found someone to love too. However, if she only had one wish it would be that her son found someone. She didn't care much for herself, she had survived this far, on her own quite happily. Or so she let herself believe all the time.

"Walking, it is the first big building that you come across isn't it?" asked Harry they had drove passed the school when they came back from the airport.

"Yes right down it's about half an hours walk perhaps more…maybe I should drive you down…take a break from work" frowned Lily, she didn't like the thought of her son walking back and from school all the time.

"No it's fine! I used to walk to school in London anyway" fibbed Harry, his stepmother had always taken him.

"Ok then son if you change your mind you let me know" said Lily.

"No problem" grinned Harry happily that his mum was not worrying about him.

"Did your dad not have you pass your driving test?" asked Lily.

"It's seventeen over there" sighed Harry rolling his eyes, honestly you would think his mother was American.

"Ohh" blushed Lily bright red feeling silly of course it was.

Harry just laughed in amusement.

"Do you want to come shopping with me?" asked Lily, looking at her watch. She didn't have enough to last them long enough. She hadn't had the chance to go shopping she had been in such a hyper mood she hadn't thought of anything.

"Yep come on then" grinned Harry at least he would be able to choose some things if he went.

Before they knew it they were packed into Lily's red car on their way shopping. It wasn't exactly a long drive, thanks to his mothers breaking the speed limit law. She hated driving slow, Harry had smirked the entire way actually enjoying himself. As fun as his dad was he never did such a thing, neither had his step mother come to think of it.

Parking the car they grabbed a trolley and they began their browse for food. Lily asking him what he was like and prefer, every item that was dropped into the trolley that Harry was pushing.

"Hello Esme, Edward" said Lily kindly as the passed a young woman with caramel coloured hair and a boy with copper hair. Harry's eyes widened upon seeing him, he was absolutely breathtaking. Talk about swooning there was no way he would ever have someone with Edward about.

"Hi Lily, this must be your son!" beamed Esme softly.

"Hi Esme, nice to meet you" said Harry putting his hand out to shake hers.

"You too" said Esme shaking the teens hand hesitantly.

"Ohh your hands are so cold do you want my gloves? I have another pair at home!" said Harry kindly. He wasn't using them, not that he needed to he had been in a car up until now. 'Not that they look like they are in short supply their clothes are brand names' thought Harry as he removed his gloves from his pocket to offer her them.

"That's very kind of you but not thank you, I've got a car with me they will soon warm up!" smiled Esme softly, There was only a couple of people who ever approached them. Charlie Swan and Lily were some of them.

"Ok then if you are sure" ventured Harry.

"I'm fine," grinned Esme "This is my son Edward, no doubt you will see him in school if you are joining of course".

"I am tomorrow, it's nice to meet you" said Harry without so much as blushing.

His heart sped up though when Edward smiled a little crooked smile at him.

"We best get going" sighed Esme.

"It was nice seeing you, take care!" beamed Lily kindly.

"You too" said Harry and Lily together before they walked off continuing their shopping.

-0-0

"He was rather nice" said Esme getting food into the trunk with Edward's help.

"His thoughts were pure too" said Edward with a frown he wasn't used to that. People were afraid of them for good reason, hardly anyone approached them without fear. It seemed Lily and Harry were the only ones who were truly unafraid of them. Even Charlie Swan felt fear being so near them but pushed it aside. Oh he knew Charlie thought they were model citizens never getting into trouble, with so many 'Teenagers' in the family.

"Is that a bad thing?" asked Esme, getting into the car. She saw his frown and troubled thoughts and wondered what could be wrong.

"I've just never heard anyone like him before…he seems like a really nice kid" said Edward.

"And cute," smiled Esme "So much of Lily in him."

"He has her build, her eyes, facial structure, same texture of hair, he's actually very feminine" said Edward, he would have blushed brightly at the look Esme was giving him. If he had been able to do so.

"Do you like him?" asked Esme softly. There was no judgement in her thoughts or on her face. She was curious to know if he liked him, thinking perhaps he could have someone he liked for himself now just like the family had.

"I only saw him for five minutes Esme" said Edward resisting from doing the human thing and rolling his eyes.

"Ok ok" said Esme 'I've just never seen you so much as mention anyone in such details before'

Edward was taken aback what she said was true, he hadn't really looked at people so much that he noticed that much about him.

-0 EDWARD'S P.O.V 0-

"Hello Esme, Edward" beamed Lily 'Her son get's more gorgeous every time I see him! I wonder if he is Harry's type? They would go perfectly together.'

'OH MY FUCKING GOD he is hot! There is no way I've got any chance in this town of finding someone. He is bound to attract the entire male and female population to him like bee's around honey. Well his mum is lovely too so it's not much of a surprise he would be aswell. Not that I am jealous its more of a statement Hm…he is beautiful' thought Harry. As he stared at Edward having no idea the teen could read his very thoughts.

Edward cocked his head slightly, there was not even a little big of fear coming from the teen. This was strange he was obviously much like his mother in that regard. He noticed they looked very alike, he had her face, her hair texture, his eyes. He also noticed they were pretty much the same height, Harry was actually good looking too. If Edward had been human himself he might have asked the boy out. Then again if Edward had been human he would have died a long time ago. He didn't care for gender he just wanted someone in his life, unfortunately for him he would never want to be around a human for fear of hurting them.

"Hi Lily this must be your son?" Esme said 'Wow he is so cute! And he looks like his mum I wonder if he will be afraid of us' Edward wanted to comfort her she sounded so sad, you'd think she would be used to it.

"Hi Esme it's nice to meet you" said Harry putting out his hand for her to shake politely. 'she's awfully cold, has she walked all the way here? Maybe I should offer her my gloves'

"You too" said Esme 'such a polite young man! It's what I hoped my own son would have been like'

"Ohh your hands are so cold do you want my gloves? I have another pair at home!" said Harry. 'Their clothes are expensive *whistles in head* nice the jeans are cool I've got a pair of them…one thing does come in handy having a rich father. Gloves get your mind off them, I'll need to buy myself a new pair I'm not going to tell her they are my only pair. She might not take them' he thought.

"That's very kind of you but not thank you, I've got a car with me they will soon warm up!" smiled Esme softly, thinking 'He's such a nice little boy, very much like Lily'.

"Ok then if you are sure" ventured Harry. 'She is really cold, if she doesn't watch she will get herself ill'

"I'm fine," grinned Esme "This is my son Edward, no doubt you will see him in school if you are joining of course".

'He would be worth going to school for *Whistles in head* such a bloody perve get your mind outta the gutter' thought Harry 'He's probably as straight as a bloody board'

"I am tomorrow, it's nice to meet you" said Harry looking at Edward 'Amber eyes…very uncommon I wonder if he got them from his mum or if he wears contacts'

Edward couldn't help himself, he hadn't ever heard such a refreshing thoughts before. He grinned at Harry, he wanted to laugh in amusement when Harry's heart began beating like a drum.

"We best get going" sighed Esme. 'Carlisle will be home soon, and we have to hunt tonight…there isn't sun for the next fortnight so no camping excuses. Plus Jasper is having trouble I think it would be too much to ask of him to go to school. I like it here and want to stay a good while'

"It was nice seeing you, take care!" beamed Lily kindly. 'I wonder what my son thought of him…I cant wait to ask him…I'm getting too carried away Edward might not even swing that way…be such a pity if he didn't'

"You too" said Harry and Lily together before they walked off continuing their shopping. 'So much for everyone being plain cor if it was a beauty contest they would win hands down!' thought Harry as they walked away.

-0 END OF EDWARD'S P.O.V 0-

"We met one of the new students today" beamed Esme coming in, Carlisle was already there. Esme dumped the contents of the bags down, and kissed her husband home in welcome even though it was the other way around. Usually she would ask how his day had been, but she was talking about Harry right now.

"Really which one?" asked Alice uncommonly interested. 'I didn't see this, why didn't I see it?' she thought feeling like pouting.

"Harry…Lily Evan's son I'm not even sure about his last name" frowned Esme.

"Oh, and why is he worth mentioning?" asked Rosalie, she would never be horrible or bitchy to Esme she loved her too much. She was the only person who wouldn't suffer Rosalie's wrath if something goes wrong, apart from Carlisle that is of course.

"He was very sweet! He wasn't afraid either! He offered me his gloves when we shook hands! Such a nice young man!" beamed Esme absolutely smitten with the new boy.

Rosalie just scoffed thinking 'You wouldn't say that when you hear what they are saying about you at school…no doubt he will join in'

"I don't think he would, his thoughts were really pure" said Edward, he decided not to mention the fact that the new student found him 'HOT' it was nothing new. Everyone he met liked him it was part of the camouflage, as if he would need to resort to seduction to kill anyone.

He was the strongest most dangerous predator to walk this earth.
