A/N – I know that in the book Bella came to Forks sometime in January but I had forgotten and already wrote the chapter so oh well. A few extra months in Forks won't kill her. Let me know if I made any grammatical or spelling errors.

guest- I am american but I have been to england and the weather was terrible.

Raven Marcus- I don't have any plans on making a harem for harry. If people really want it then just leave a review saying so and I can easily change it but as of now, its only harry and alice.

Vsama- I am basing harry's personality on a young, toned down version of sirius. Good job catching that.

Ch. 4 Tricking, Treating, and the Gazing of the Thighs

HARRY POV

Halloween was fast approaching and Alice was acting like a certifiable nut job. She made all the Cullen kids sit down and help her pick out what kind of foods to order from the caterers. Once we told her our opinions, she told us to shut up and go play games. To be fair though, it was all Edward's fault. He stated that we should serve chicken wings and I added that I personally preferred succulent breasts, while Emmett said he preferred juicy thighs. Needless to say, Emm and I were officially banned from helping. That didn't stop her from forcing us to run errands and make pick ups. It didn't bother me though. I was more than happy to help her out. I finally got an owl stating that my costume was ready. I had to have it specially made from a clothing shop in the magical alley in Los Angeles. If I had ordered it from Muggles, it wouldn't have been ready in time. Since the following day was Saturday, I figured I could go and pick it up and do a bit of shopping as well. I had been making quite a few potions recently and was beginning to run low on ingredients. I wondered if I could talk Esme into building a greenhouse to grow some of my own.

After telling the rest of the Cullens what I had planned on doing the following day, they had all decided to join me and make it a family outing. I didn't mind. It was always more fun shopping with them than it was shopping alone. Luckily during my last visit to Los Angeles, I scouted a perfect place to portkey in that was away from prying eyes and provided the privacy needed. The next morning we all grouped around the tree branch turned portkey and disappeared, arriving in a Los Angeles park seconds later. We made our way into the city and called for a couple taxis that took us to the smelly old pub that held the entrance to the magical alley. The alley was hidden behind a wall exactly like Platform Nine and Three Quarters was. The Cullens got a kick out of crossing the barrier. The alley in LA was similar to Diagon Alley, just much more modern. The buildings and shops were very much like the ones you would find in downtown Muggle LA. Immediately everyone split up to do their own things. Most of them went to the bank to exchange cash for gold. I went and picked up my costume first, made sure it fitted correctly, and stowed it in my enchanted messenger's bag. Next I went and picked up the second part of the costume and placed it in my bag as well. After that was taken care of, I walked around for a bit and checked out a few shops. I replenished my potion supplies at the apothecary and purchased a new book that claimed to have a few new potions recipes. I visited the Quidditch Supply Shop and saw that there was nothing new in stock. I did discover that there was Quidditch match featuring the Boston Broombreakers versus the Ballycastle Bats. Apparently it was a big game because the American League and European League only played a few games against each other every season. The match was set for the middle of November so I bought seven of the best seats available. They were a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I was very excited to be able to watch a Quidditch match again.

I finally met up with Alice who was not so surprisingly, at a clothing shop. She was trying to order rolls of enchanted cotton material in bulk, but the shopkeeper was adamantly saying that they did not deal in bulk textiles. I took pity on poor Alice and paid the shopkeeper a few galleons to tell me the name of her supplier and promised Alice to order some material for her. After finishing up in the clothing shop, I dragged Alice to the bookstore where we spent half an hour searching titles for anything that seemed interesting. I purchased books on Mayan and Aztec Runes, blood rituals, and the newest book on enchanting called The Enchanter's Guide to Glory, which was highly recommended by the North American Enchanter's Guild.

Alice and I met up with the rest of our group later in the afternoon and made our way out of the alley and into a cab, which dropped us off at the park. We all grabbed on to the portkey I provided and left for home.

The week leading up to Alice's Halloween party was a bit hectic. She had us guys driving all over Seattle picking up decorations and other things. If something wasn't to her specifications then we had to return it and pick up something new. She had gone mental. Her party was the talk of the school for that week. Everyone was hoping that they would be invited. No student had actually ever been to the Cullen house before so I heard several conversations between students speculating about how grand it was. Halloween was on a Friday that was only a few days away. On our way to school Alice handed me a small stack of invitations so I could invite my friends. There weren't many students that I would consider a friend. Only Jess, Angie, and Bella could be classified as such.

At lunch I sat with Angela and her group, much to Jessica's liking and Mike's disapproval. "Hey ladies," I said, smiling at the three girls.

"Hi Harry!" they chorused and returned the smile.

"So, if you haven't heard Alice is throwing a Halloween party Friday night," I said, digging through my bag.

"Yeah I know. The whole school has been talking about it the whole day," said Jessica, who was picking at her salad.

"Well then I'd like to cordially invite you to join in the festivities," I replied, pulling out the small stack of invitations. I passed them to the three girls and three guys.

"Awesome! Thanks Harry!" said Ben excitedly.

"Yeah thanks!" exclaimed Eric, while Mike mumbled his thanks.

"Do we have to dress up?" asked Bella with a slight look of dread.

I laughed at her unease. "Yes Bella. I believe costumes are mandatory. Don't you like costumes?" I asked.

"Not particularly. I don't even know what to come as," she said, eating her macaroni.

"Naughty Nurse, Slutty Cop, Horny Cheerleader … there's a whole world of possibilities at your fingertips," I told her with a crooked grin and a wink that caused the girls to giggle, Ben and Eric to laugh, and Bella and Mike to glare, though Bella's glare held a small smile behind it along with a slight blushing of her cheeks. I spent the rest of lunch chit chatting with the girls.

Friday had finally come and after school Alice force us all to help her decorate. It wasn't so bad. She told us exactly what to do and as long as we did what she said, she wouldn't yell at us. I was only yelled at twice while Emmett was yelled at nine times. Around two hours before the party was to begin, the caterers arrive and set up the food. It was times like these that I really wished I was human again. The food looked delicious. Unfortunately for me, it smelled horrid. I could never get over how bad human food smelled now.

Carlisle and Esme were leaving for the weekend to spend some time alone. Apparently they didn't get to take many trips together since he was always so busy at the hospital. They came downstairs together all packed and ready to go. "Alright kids, behave yourselves and don't destroy the house. That means you Emmett and Harry. No more wrestling indoors and for god's sake stop trying to see who can fit the most sheets of paper into their mouths. You're ruining all of your mother's notebooks. We'll see you all Sunday night," said Carlisle, chuckling as Emmett pulled blobs of wet paper from his mouth.

"Be good," said Esme as she hugged and kissed my cheek.

"I will," I said, spitting out left over bits of paper and returned the hug. She said her goodbyes to the rest and took off for the weekend. "Alrighty everyone, I'm going to get ready." Everyone else went to their rooms to get ready as well.

I put on my Sephiroth costume which I thought looked pretty good. The long, black leather coat was fitted in the arms, chest, and waist and flared out at the hip. It had silver fastenings running down the front. Light gray shoulder guards were attached to the coat by rivets. Underneath the coat I wore a leather stomach guard that had two leather straps that went over each shoulder and crossed in the middle of my bare chest. The black leather pants were tight and had a silver buckle just above the knee.

The black leather boots reached about four inches below the knee and had a black strap and silver buckle along the tops. I put on my black leather gloves, grabbed my seven foot long Japanese Nodachi sword and I was ready to go. I had the blade made at a weaponsmith in the alley. It wasn't high quality but it was only made to be part of the costume so it didn't matter. I had to put some Charms on it so it wouldn't accidentally cut or poke anyone. I looked in the mirror and changed my hair. I lengthened it all the way down my back and turned it silver. I left some of it shorter to give it that layered look. I examined myself and once I was satisfied I went back downstairs.

By the time I got downstairs I had already decided that I was not carrying that sword around all night long. The damn thing was way too long so I leaned it up against the wall. It was a few minutes later that Edward came into the living room. His Zorro costume was all black with a cape, hat, eye mask, and sword. Emmett came down wearing a Superman costume. He even had the little curl of hair on his forehead. Alice and Rose came down at the same time. Rose was dressed as a Pinup Girl. She was a 50's style bathing suit that was red with white polka dots and even had matching high heels. I had to wipe my mouth to make sure I didn't drool. Alice was ironically dressed as Alice in Wonderland which I found amusing. I was pretty sure she had the sexy version of the dress because the cartoon character damn sure never looked that good. The baby blue dress was low cut revealing a generous amount of cleavage and was quite short. She had on white stockings with a little blue bow on each that ended just above the knee with black Mary Jane shoes. She even had a yellowish blonde wig with a black ribbon. I could immediately tell it was a very expensive wig. It looked like actual human hair and if I didn't know her, I would have thought it was her real hair. Apparently I was too busy staring and not paying attention because Emmett kicked my boot.

"Huh? What?" I asked Emmett.

"Alice was talking to you," he smirked.

"Oh. Sorry Alice. What did you say?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck in embarrassment.

"I asked if you liked my costume," she said, twirling around to show it off. As she spun around, her already short dress became a little shorter revealing even more of her divine creamy thighs. I couldn't help but stare a little more. I didn't know how much time had passed but I vaguely heard someone speaking but couldn't get my brain to work.

"Harry … HARRY?!" I heard Alice yell.

"Huh? What?" was my response. Alice and Rose burst into a fit of giggles while the boys laughed at me.

"Come on Romeo. Let's finish setting up. The guests will be here soon," said Emmett, as he grabbed me by the shoulders and lead me away from those treasured thighs. I had to shake my head to clear away the less than pure thoughts I was having.

The DJ that Alice had hired arrived around 7 pm which was an hour before the party was to commence. Emmett, Edward, and I help bring in his equipment and showed him where to set up. As 8 o'clock rolled around, Alice had just finished making sure everything was in order when the first guests started to arrive. Within five minutes the house was half full. The music was loudly blasting through the speakers and everyone was mingling. I noticed when Bella, Jess, and Angie walked through the door and went to greet them. Angie was dressed as the Genie from the TV show I Dream of Genie. She looked very cute in her pink outfit. Jess was dressed as a sexy Little Red Riding Hood. Like Alice, her red and white dress was low cut and very short. She too had on white thigh high stalkings. I had to admit that she did look sexy. Not Alice sexy but sexy none the less. Bella was wearing a dark blue and white Victorian era style dress that went down to the floor and must have had a petticoat because it flared out quite a bit. The dress had lots of ruffles and was tied with a dark blue bow at the waist. It had full length sleeves that flared wide at the wrists. The dress was tight on her stomach and chest and showed a small amount of cleavage. When she walked, her dress hitched up a bit and my perfect eyesight spotted the Chuck Taylors that she was wearing and couldn't help but laugh a little. Her hair was pulled in an elegant bun with a thin strand of hair hanging down on each side of her head. Overall I had to say that Bella looked incredibly beautiful.

"Wow ladies! You three look gorgeous," I said, giving them a bright smile that caused them to blush.

"Thank you Harry!" Jessica said brightly. "You look really good too!" I noticed she was staring at my partially exposed chest and rolled my eyes.

"C'mon ladies. Let's go get you some refreshments," I said, grabbing Bella and Angela's hands and lead them over to the kitchen. After getting them drinks and chatting with them for awhile, I excused myself so I could make the rounds and meet the other guests.

Later as the party was in full force Jessica pulled me onto the dance floor. I grinned as she did her best to rub her considerable assets against me. I also got a dance from Angela, Lauren, Rose, Alice, and three girls whose names I didn't know. All I could say was that Lauren had busy hands. Bella was adamant against getting on the dance floor with me. She told me that she had no rhythm and would most likely trip and fall and pull me down with her. Everyone complimented Alice on how well she decorated. The house was kind of spooky looking. The massive bowls full of every kind of candy imaginable was a bit hit with the many youths as well. Alice didn't provide any alcohol but that didn't stop anyone from bringing their own. Many of the party goers where quite buzzed by the time ten o'clock came. I was sitting on a stool laughing while watching Emmett do the robot out on the dance floor when Jessica found me. "Hey Harry!" she chirped happily.

"Hey Jess. Enjoying the party?" I asked, smiling at the tipsy girl.

"Yeah it's really fun!" she exclaimed boisterously over the loud music. "Come outside with me! We're gonna play a game," she said loudly, with a sly grin.

"What kind of game?" I asked, dreading the answer.

"You'll see," she said sweetly. She took my hand and lead me outside to the massive gazebo in the backyard. There were already several guys and girls sitting in there, some drinking or smoking. "Hey guys! I found Harry!" she slurred a bit. There were cheers from the girls and mumbles from the guys. Among the group were Angela, Lauren, Ben, Eric, Mike, and two guys and two girls that I didn't know. "We're gonna play spin the bottle Harry! You'll play right?" she asked, giving me the puppy dog look. I sighed knowing I could barely resist a girl giving me puppy eyes. Rose would probably go upside my head if I agreed. On the other hand, Emmett would call me a trailblazer for male vampires around the world.

"Sure," I sighed. "But only for a few rounds."

"Yay! Okay everyone, make a circle. Remember, boy girl boy girl,"she said excitedly. I sat down between Lauren and the girl who I thought was named Kimberly. "If you land on a person of the same sex then you spin again. Alright who's going first?" she asked.

"I will," said Mike, leaning into the middle of the circle and giving the empty beer bottle a spin. It spun until it slowed and stopped, pointing at the other girl that I didn't know. She didn't look very excited but gave him a short kiss none the less. The game continued on until it was finally my turn. I gave the bottle a quick spin and it landed on Angela. I looked at her with a lecherous grin that caused her to blush and me to laugh. We met in the middle and our lips touched. Kissing her was nice. She smelled and tasted good and her lips were really soft. It was a nice kiss. Lauren went next and landed on Eric. I had yet to kiss anyone else until Jessica's spin landed on me. She gave a squeal of delight and pulled me in and attacked me with her lips. Her lips tasted like alcohol but other than that, it wasn't so bad. I was a bit surprised when she added a bit of tongue. We played for a while longer until I had kissed Kimberly and the other girl as well. Once my spin finally landed on Lauren, I decided that that was to be my final spin. That girl kissed the hell out of me. Her kiss involved her hands entwined in my hair, lots of tongue, and some not so subtle sucking of my lower lip. I left the game a bit dazed.

I went back inside and saw that lots of kids were still dancing and having fun. I spotted Alice walking around and making sure everything was in order. She was a little ways in front of me when she bent over to pick up a piece of trash from the floor causing her small dress to ride up the back of her legs. Once again, like the hormonal teenager that I was, all I could do was allow my eyes to gaze upon her magnificent figure. She really was gorgeous. "Hi Harry," came a voice from behind.

"Thigh!" I squeaked out quickly. "I mean hi!" I turned to find Rosalie smirking.

"Come on Harry," she said, taking my hand in hers and pulled me outside and into the woods. Once we reached a secluded spot she whispered,"Harry why don't you tell Alice how you feel? You obviously like her and everyone with eyes can see that you find her attractive."

I sighed. "Yeah I know. But what if she doesn't like me in that way? She was hurt when her ex left. She may not want to be in that kind of relationship again."

"I know she cares about you. Alice and I haven't talked about it but I can still tell. As for what happened with Jasper, yes she was hurt but she's a lot better now. You've helped her quite a bit Harry."

I nodded in understanding. "I think for the time being I should try and be the best friend I can to her. I know she's still hurting some. If we do become a couple then I'd like it to happen naturally and not rush into it before she's completely ready for it. I'd hate myself if I caused her anymore pain," I whispered, looking into Rose's warm honey colored eyes. Rose smiled beautifully at me.

"You're such a sweet person Harry," she whispered, wrapping her arms around me in a hug. I chuckled and hugged her back.

"Thanks Rosie. And thank you for trying to help," I whispered, kissing her forehead.

"You're welcome," she said with a gentle smile. "Now let's get back to the party. You know I can't leave Emmett unsupervised for too long," she laughed.

I laughed knowing exactly how right she was. "He's probably dancing with a lamp shade on his head right now."

"Oh god. He better not be!" she exclaimed as we made our way back through the yard and into the house. Luckily for her Emmett was only trying to break dance and did not in fact have any houseware items on his head.

As it became later and the party wore down, the visitors began leaving. Alice provided them with gift bags full of candy and other fun items. I said my goodbyes to Bella and Angela who were supporting an incoherent Jessica. As the last person left we turned on the lights and examined the house to make sure nothing was too damaged. There was some minor damage but a few quick Repairing Charms put everything back in order. I walked over to the couch and slumped down. Had I been human, I would have been exhausted. Alice slumped down beside me and put her head on my shoulder. I put my arm around her shoulder and pulled her in tight. "So I guess congratulations are in order. You're party was a big success," I said, smiling down at the cute pixy like creature. She just giggled and snuggled in closer.

"It was fun. I can't wait to throw another," she chirped, looking up at me. I rolled my eyes and pecked her on the forehead.

"Well before you host another shindig, how about we finish our party?" I stated.

"What do you mean?" she asked looking confused.

"I've got those cases of Dragon Fire whiskey that I haven't tried yet. The guy that sold them to me said it was really strong stuff," I said with a smile.

"Excellent!" Emmett exclaimed loudly with a huge smile on his face. Alice and Rose took a few minutes to convince but Edward refused. He said that there had to be at least one responsible adult in the mix. I ran upstairs and brought down a few bottles of the orangish amber colored liquid. I conjured a few shot glasses and poured a shot for each of us. The girls looked at theirs a bit hesitantly so I figured that I should go first.

"Salute" I said and knocked back the shot. I grimaced at the strong taste and they all had a good laugh as smoke escaped from my ears. I felt the whiskey travel down my throat and into my stomach leaving a warm sensation in its wake. "Tastes strong but not bad," I stated. Emmett smiled and drank his quickly. He too grimaced at the taste. The girls went next and held similar expressions as the whiskey touched their tongues. As the night proceeded, it gradually became a blur before everything went black.
