Thank berkie88 for the name. They rightly pointed out the old one was crap and suggested a new one. Thanks!
Harry awoke on Monday to the sound of rain pattering down against the paving outside. The sun was just coming up and he guessed at it being about 7 30. He had less than hour before he would be meeting his peers. It was already making him nervous just thinking about it. Sighing heavily Harry heaved himself out of bed, preparing for the day ahead. It was going to be tough to follow through with his plan, but he needed to remain in control and aloof at all times.
There were death eaters out there and he couldn't afford to make any of these muggles a target purely by befriending them, it was bad enough that he was here already. Although it may take the death eaters a while to track him with all the precautions he had, but they had found him in almost every place he had stayed in for a long stretch of time so far, there was no reason why Forks should be different.
Harry would not be seen to like these people, and they could not like him. But he wasn't really bothered by that. He had spent so much of his life rejected by the people around him it would feel better now to have a reason for them to dislike him rather than the mindless hatred he had experienced already. Harry found himself even looking forward to it, just for a change of pace.
About fifty minutes later Harry found himself standing outside a small set of buildings. They were old, grey and looked rather forlorn in the middle of the lush greens. They had absolutely nothing on Hogwarts, none of the presence, none of the atmosphere and certainly none of the magic. In fact there were no magical communities for miles around, he had checked.
Harry moved purposefully to the reception area, or at least what he assumed was the reception area, the school seemed to have misplaced all of its signs.
There was no one else around yet that Harry could see, and given the weather all of those that were around would be in school, sheltering from the rain. The first living soul he saw all day was that of the secretary, she was sitting at her desk staring into space; Harry got all the way to her desk and had to cough before she acknowledged his presence.
"Oh sorry dear I didn't see you there, your Harrison aren't you?" she asked smiling at him.
He forced a scowl onto his face, best start how he planned to continue.
"Yes and?" he answered hostilely. She looked taken aback.
"Erm, here you go" she handed him his timetable and a slip to get all the teachers to sign. Harry took it from her and didn't bother to say goodbye as he walked away. He made his way to the first lesson; using the map he had been given. It was a mainly plain classroom with a few posters on the wall that had Latin verbs on them, the whole scene was grey, an exact replica of the outside.
Choosing a seat at the back of the class Harry just waited, and soon enough it started to fill, students poured in, chatting about inane things. Harry went unnoticed at the back of the room, blending into the shadows.
Most of the students were unremarkable. They were just kids in Harry's eyes, ignorant of what he and so many others had been through for them to live this normal life. He pushed his anger and resentment away, it wasn't their fault they didn't know and he didn't want to be caught in the middle of a magical accident if he lost control of his temper.
Harry's mind started to wander and just as he was about to look away from the door, someone entirely different entered. Someone that set Harry on edge. They didn't seem to be part of the network of children around him. Harry tensed and was sure, from just one look that this person wasn't human, but he had no idea what exactly they were. They seemed to be moving towards the back of the room, close to where he was. Were they after him?
The Cullen's house was in a state of apprehension from the very beginning of Monday, nobody knew what was going to happen, and for Alice that was a first.
"How long?"
"An hour" Jasper said again for what felt like the billionth time. She hadn't stopped asking for the past six hours, and didn't seem to grasp that watching the time never made it move faster. It had certainly been one of the longest nights of Jasper's life. He was having trouble focussing because of the emotions flying everywhere. Frustration and excitement from Alice, fear from Esme and calm from Carlisle but yet, nothing from Edward, Jasper supposed he was out of range. Only he would appreciate how hard it was for Jasper to be around so many emotions
They left the house as soon as it was possible, driving at top speed to the school and walking as fast as was plausible. Upon entering the school the Cullen family all split off to their different classrooms, apart from Jasper and Alice, he had decided that maybe it was safer to walk her to her classroom lest she do something crazy before she got there. But nothing happened, it was even making Jasper nervous now, he wanted whatever this thing was that Alice couldn't see past to just happen already.
Lost in his thoughts, he entered his classroom, tuning out the annoying teenage babble and moving to the back of the class, he was almost all the way there when he felt it, the heat of someone staring at him. It was strange because most people tended to avoid looking at vampires due to their innate fear of them; he looked up sharply to see an attractive young man with intelligent green eyes looking at him curiously. They flicked away the instant he caught them but Jasper knew he had found it.
This new student was what Alice couldn't see! Jasper took his seat and looked surreptitiously over the person a few seats away; there was nothing particularly remarkable about him. Attractive, short, nothing strange at all, except for maybe one thing, there was something; it was in his eyes, and it was dark. Jasper reached out with his ability, trying to explore the darkness further but he couldn't sense anything! It was like he had just hit a brick wall/ Alice's powers and now his! Who was this person who had such power over them?
Jasper pushed his power out to the student more forcefully, and finally got something back. But a second later he wished he hadn't. He grimaced as grief flooded through him and was glad when the connection was shut off by an outside power, this was followed but a touch of fear as the boy's eyes flicked over to him, full of suspicion.
Jasper needed backup, he made his decision and reached out to the only person that is was possible to.
He thought as loudly as he could.
"EDWARD"
A/n THANKYOU! Oh my goodness. Keep it up please! It makes my days!
BTW a lot of people have been asking about Sirius and Remus. Yes what happened in Dumbledore's office will be explained and yes they will appear in the story. I have a plan, do not fear!
