Speck of Happiness
Chapter Two
"I am truly sorry Esme," Rosalie says with a look of remorse on her face.
"I'm sorry too Esme." Emmett adds with a look similar to his wife. The two have destroyed one of the Esme's bathrooms. Edward deeply wishes that he didn't know, or hear what they were doing when they broke it.
"Oh it's okay," Esme replies with a small smile, "I just need some more tile, and I can fix it easily."
"We can go get it for you" Rosalie suggests and Emmett perks up like a puppy.
"That would be wonderful." Esme says. Edward, who was reading upstairs in his room, feels a strong urge to go with the couple.
"Rose? I'll come with," Edward says before he realizes that he's talking.
"Great," His sister replies, "What's with you going everywhere now?"
Edward smiles but doesn't reply as he gets into the back of Emmett's huge Jeep.
"Where are we going first, oh fearless leader?" Ron asks from the back of the Jeep they are riding in. The five of them are going shopping for furniture, carpet, and appliances. The house they bought needed a lot of work before they could call it home. Harry is driving, Blaise is in the passenger seat, and the other three are lounging in the back.
"Furniture," Harry replies turning into the parking lot of the furniture store. The green eyed teen suddenly does a U-turn and drives out of the lot, "Let's go to the flooring store instead." He didn't know why but he got a sudden urge to go there instead.
"Oi!" A disgruntled Malfoy says, "I can drive better than that Potter!"
Harry ignored him as he pulled into The Floor Store parking lot next to a white Jeep much larger than wizards'.
The store is humongous with several different departments, Carpet, Hardwood, Tile, and others that aren't really connected to floor like paint. The vast majority of the carpets are in the back. "Race ya!" Harry yells suddenly to Ron. The two dash through the wide aisles and Harry's just about to win when he runs into someone very cold and hard.
Edward was walking with Rose and Emmett, who was carrying all the tile. Edward's disappointed, he has not gotten out of this trip what he wanted. He was still thinking about it when he's run into by a guy, roughly 5'6" though he's short he's muscled and looks around eighteen. The teen has black hair and gorgeous green eyes.
The second Edward saw those eyes he quietly growls, "Mine." The only ones who heard him are Emmett and Rose, their eyes widen in surprise and walk ahead quickly. They know Edward wants privacy.
The vampire catches his mate before he fell to the ground, "Oh, hey." Edward looks down to see the emerald eyes staring up into his topaz ones. He notices that his mate's breathing hitched and his heart rate increases, Edward smiles in satisfaction that his mate feels something too. Unlike Bella he feels no yearning to kill him.
"Er, sorry, and hi." His mate replies. My mate is British! Edward thinks holding his mate in his arms Edward sinks to the ground and leans back on one of the shelves, pulling his mate into his lap. The raven haired teen blushes at such close contact with a stranger.
"I'm Edward Cullen by the way." The vampire is still smiling fondly at the teen in his arms. Harry blushes even more at the loving gaze he is receiving. Edward waited for the boy to reply, he desperately needs to know his mate's name.
"Harry Potter." The boy replies. Harry, I've never heard of a more beautiful name.
Just as Harry spoke another boy runs over, "Harry!" Edward angrily eyes the newcomer who interrupted time with this mate. The boy is tall, with red hair, freckles, and blue eyes. The newcomer blushes when he see the intimate position Harry and Edward are in.
"Ron," Harry groans, "I'm fine, go look at carpets with the others." Harry says with a clear 'go away' look. Ron gives an eyebrow wiggle and a not so discreet thumbs up before leaving. Edward chuckles, and Harry's blush deepens even more, "Sorry about... him."
"No problem." Edward says, Well I might as well get this over with, "Do you want to go out with me?" Edward is grateful that the words come out clearly and only slightly rushed.
"Yes," Harry says.
"I'll pick you up at seven, where do you live?" Edward asks with a bright smile.
Harry tells him the address and Edward stands lowering Harry back to the ground. "I'll see you tonight, but now I have to go meet my brother and sister." The vampire kisses Harry's hand before he goes.
"See you tonight," Harry calls after him. Only after Edward was in the car talking to Emmett and Rosalie did he realize two things about his mate, first was that he couldn't read his mind or his friend's, and second, his mate is a man. Which shocked him greatly because Edward always believed himself to be straight.
Harry is walking to the back of the store where the carpets are. When he gets closer he hears Ron, "The two were cuddled up all cozy against the shelves, I mean they just met," Harry turns the corner to see Draco, Neville and Blaise listening to Ron with smiles, "who knows how long it is before they-" instead of saying it Ron does an awkward thrusting motion that makes the other three laugh, while Harry blushes even more, if that's possible.
"Haha Potter's finally gonna get some!" Blaise laughs, being the most 'experienced' one of the group. At Hogwarts even after being considered a blood traitor many Slytherin girls still threw themselves at him, same for all the other houses.
The next hour they were walking out of the store with nothing but a receipt and an appointment for people to come install the floor. The boys had decided on carpet for their personal bedrooms. Ron got orange, Draco got black, Neville got gold, and Blaise and Harry got white. For the master bedroom they decided on a tan color, and a white hardwood floor. The first floor kitchen, sitting room, and dining room were to have white hardwood floors and the family room is to have tan carpets. The basement will also have tan carpet, except for the potions lab and the pool area.
"Next stop furniture!" Harry says as he looks at his watch, 3:27 "And let's hurry up I have a date at seven." The other boys stared at the green eyed Gryffindor in awe, they haven't seen him genuinely smile this much in ages. Could meeting one guy really make such a difference?
Two hours later the boys are walking out of the furniture store, with movers planning to deliver the furniture to their mini-mansion. Each boy has gotten two four poster beds, one for their personal room and one for the master bedroom, with two matching night stands and a chest of drawers. Ron's is a light tan color, Harry's a dark brown, Blaise's is a black, Draco's is white, and Neville's brown. They decided to get a black leather sectional, a glass coffee table and a love seat for the family room, and a couple of loves eats and another glass coffee table. The kitchen also has a glass dinner table.
"Dammit it's already 5:30!" Harry says angrily as they pull into the driveway of their new house. He rushes into the house, grabs the floo powder, and shouts "Grimmauld Place!" before the others are even in the house. Harry runs into his room and pulls out a nice blue collar shirt and black chinos with black loafers. Harry grabs a towel and soap before running back to the fire place grabbing more floo powder and shouting, "The Oak Manor!" the name of their new house. The boys laughed as Harry scrambled out of the fireplace and runs upstairs to the room he claimed as his. Thirty minutes later Harry is out of the shower and putting on his clothes. He brushes his teeth and styles his hair. Ding Dong Harry jumps at the sound of the doorbell, and checks his watch, 7:00 exactly and he still needs a couple finishing touches on his hair.
"Hello." Another boy answers the door of Harry's house. Edward is beginning to get jealous. How many men does my mate live with? This boy has darker skin and high cheekbones, "I'm Blaise, and you must be Edward, Harry hasn't quit talking about you all day." Edward decided to wear a green collar shirt and black jeans that fit snugly.
Edward smiles this is definitely good news, "Hi Blaise, nice to meet you."
"Come in," Blaise moves from his position blocking the door, Edward is surprised to see that the house is empty except for three boys reading on the floor, "I would offer you a place to sit, but as you can see..."
"You all just moved." Edward says, it's not really a question.
"So Edward," Blaise drawls, being the oldest and only heterosexual male in the house he considers himself the 'dad' of the group, "Where are you taking Harry?"
"We're going to an Italian restaurant in Port Angeles." Edward replies, he wasn't expecting to get the dad treatment tonight.
"Mmmhmm," Blaise says, "Now I can personally promise you that if you hurt our Harry you will get hurt." Blaise glares threateningly at Edward as Harry walks down the steps. Edward totally forgot about the dad treatment.
"Ready to go?" Edward asks giving him a crooked smile.
"Yup." Harry says and he blushes when Edward takes his hand, not even noticing the cold.
They're about to close the door behind them when Blaise calls, "Harry!"
"What Blaise?" says the irritated Harry.
"Get some!" Blaise says laughing at the look of horror on Harry's face as he quickly shuts the door. "What are we going to do tonight boys?"
"The real estate person said there's a beach not to far from here." Neville says stretching as he puts his book down, like Harry he had also buffed up during sixth year, all of them had.
"Okay let's go." Ron says putting down his book, as he does a magazine slips out of it.
"I'm driving!" Draco says running to grab the keys Harry dropped in his rush. The other boys groan hopefully they get their alive.
They're on the way to Port Angeles in Edward's Ferrari and the conversation flowed very easily, but Harry needs to get this off his chest.
Harry sighs and smiles, "I've never met a vampire as nice as you."
Edward freezes for a moment before returning to his relaxed position, "Me, a vampire? pssh that preposterous."
"Please, I've met a couple vampires before, most of them aren't this civilized though and they have red eyes. Hermione told me once that vampires who don't drink human blood don't have red eyes. And don't deny it again, your cold skin I noticed at first but not anymore, and you're incredibly attractive, shockingly so. And when I ran straight into you, you didn't even stumble." Edward stares at his date with his mouth open, "Well you can trust my brothers and I with your secret, now you have to keep one of ours."
"You can trust me with anything, love." Edward say, running his thumb across Harry's hand.
"Well, I'm telling you because we know your secret," Harry starts and sighs, "We're wizards."
"That's incredible." Edward gives Harry another loving gaze, "But why are you telling me this? Are you always so trusting?"
Harry laughed bitterly, "I'm hardly what one would call trusting, but you, I'm surprisingly comfortable around you. Oh are we here?"
"Yes," Edward says getting out of the car and walking around to open Harry's door, "and I'm glad your comfortable, because I am absolutely blissful around you." Edward kisses him gently on the cheek. Harry blushes, "Your blush is so cute. Now let's get you some food."
"Anything you say," Harry says as the vampire takes his hand once more and leads him inside.
"Reservation for Cullen." Edward tells the hostess and she rushes off to prepare their table.
"How do you already have reservations when you just asked me out today?" Harry asks surprised. Edward only smiles and winks in reply.
The two young men order and talk about everything and nothing just happy to be in the presence of each other.
"Looks like a party," Ron observes as the four walk over to the beach.
"I've never been to a bonfire," Draco says as he stares in wonder at the beach where a large green fire was burning, "Do you think they're using the floo network?"
"I have no idea." Blaise says.
"I wasn't expecting this many people to be here." Neville says, and Blaise wraps a comforting arm around his shoulder.
"It's okay Neville we're right here." Draco says.
"Hey!" Someone is waving them over to the beach. The boys jog over to meet the figure.
"Hey," Blaise says when they walk up to the huge figure. He must be of the local Native American tribe, the Quileute tribe. He's tall and has tons of rippling muscles on display,he's shirtless, he has brown skin lighter than Blaise's and closely propped black hair.
"You all must be the people who just moved on to Oak Manor, it's just off our land. I'm Sam Uley." Sam put his hand out to shake and shook each of the four's hand who introduced themselves as they shook. "How old are you all?"
"Seventeen." Each boy answered, they decided that in America they wanted a little more time to be kids for once, so they all said they're a year younger. Except for Blaise who says he two years younger.
"Okay," Sam points to two blue coolers, "You can have anything out of the blue coolers, none out of the red."
"Okay thank you," Blaise replies, "and nice to meet you too." After they walk away from Sam Blaise tells the other three, "Stop drooling over the guys and go talk to them, I'll see if I can actually find a girl around here." It seemed like there were at least two dozen people on the beach and he was having trouble spotting a girl who wasn't wrapped in some other guys arms.
Ron laughs, "Alright Blaise we'll leave you to seducing the innocent. Let's go finds some guys, maybe we'll get lucky like Harry."
The three walk over to the blue cooler where a group of boys are standing and talking. They get a chorus of "Hey"s when they walk over. "You all must be the guys who moved into Oak Manor."
"That's us," Draco introduces himself and his brothers. The boys from the reservation introduce themselves as Quil, Embry, Jared, Paul, and Seth.
"Hey Draco," Seth says, "Wanna get in the water?" Draco thinks it over, well Seth is hot and he wouldn't mind spending some extra time with him.
"I might put my feet in..." Draco replies, and Seth grabs his hand enthusiastically pulls him towards the water.
"Not again," Paul mutters and the two Brits are smiling for Draco.
"I think they'll make a cute couple." Neville says to Ron.
"I think we'll make a cuter one," Embry says stepping closer to the brown haired Gryffindor. Neville blushes. "Let's go for a walk." Embry holds out his hand and Neville takes it and off they walk down the beach.
"What the heck." Paul mutters again, looking to Jared for answers who shrugs, "I'm gonna go talk to Sam, nice to meet you Ron."
"You too," Ron says as Paul walks away, "What was that about?"
"Just some tribe things, but I expect that we'll be seeing much more of your friends" Paul starts.
"Brothers." Ron interrupts.
"Sorry, more of your brothers once they start dating Seth and Embry." Paul says looking down the beach at the two pairs of boys.
The waves splash over Draco's feet, "Ah it's cold!" He yells to Seth who's standing almost waist deep into the waves trying to coax Draco to come in.
"Come on, Draco," Seth calls he opens his arms, "I can keep you warm."
"I can't believe I'm doing this." The Slytherin mutters to himself as he takes off his shirt and jeans. Seth smiles broadly at his imprint as he runs through the water and into his arms.
"See," Seth says as he holds Draco to his chest, "Aren't you all warm and toasty."
"I am," Draco admits, leaning his head on the Quileute's chest, "But how are you not freezing?"
"I'm always hot." Seth says then quickly changes the subject, "So where do you go to school?"
"Harry said that we're going to start at Forks High." Draco says with a sigh, "Where do you go?"
"I go to school here on the rez." Seth answers with a smile, slowly swaying back and forth, as though they are dancing through in the water.
"Ready to go?" Blaise asks Ron and Neville. Ron nods but Neville looks reluctant to leave Embry.
"I'll come pick you up tomorrow at five." Embry tells Neville and he nods and says goodnight.
"Where's Draco?" Blaise asks irritated.
"He's getting cozy with Seth in the water," Ron smirks, "I mean at least Harry and Edward kept all their clothes on. But Draco is down to his trousers and Seth is too. They're probably going to," He does his awkward hip thrust again, "Before Edward and Harry do."
"I'm gonna go get him," Blaise says with a smirk as he runs over to the shore in front of where Draco and Seth are dancing. "Draco! We're leaving, put some clothes on and let's go!"
Draco, in Seth's arms, blushes again. Seth asks, "When do I get to see you again?"
"Er, how about we actually go swimming on Wednesday after school," Draco suggests, "There's an indoor pool in my basement."
"Great," Seth says and he finally begins walking Draco back to shore, "I guess I'll see you in three days."
"Three days." Draco smiles.
"Goodnight." Harry smiles up at the vampire, it's nearly midnight after dinner they had danced for what seemed like forever.
The vampire slowly leans down and Harry meets him half way. They kiss quickly and passionately on the doorstep of Oak Manor. When they pull away because Harry needs air Edward whispers into his ear, "Goodnight, love." Harry watches him walk back to his car and get in before going inside.
