[Thoughts]

(Hogwarts)

It was breakfast time at Hogwarts school. A lovely snow owl flew into the school and quickly dropped off letters to four people before she grabbed some food and flew off to to get some rest.

Each opened their letters and read them. When they saw Harry's handwriting they each sighed in relief. After James divorced Lily and she was arrested they hadn't heard anything from Harry. Luna hadn't had a vision so they knew that he was alright but the letter made it more real.

After reading their letter they returned to their food. They were glad that Harry was happy. They all heard about his godparents and how much he missed them. Before they only saw each other on holidays and birthdays. Now he could see them more. They were also glad that he had new clothes. The twins were happy that Harry told them that Godric was happy too.

They each made a mental note to write Harry back and the twins also write to Godric after their classes. They only hoped that Harry would heal and make more friends.

(Forks, Potter household)

Harry was sitting in bed worrying. He had been told by his father that they would be attending a cookout on the reservation that his godparents lived on this weekend. He wasn't sure he could handle it especially if he was left alone.

Godric entered the room and saw his baby brother sitting on his bed biting his lip. He knew the reason. Harry didn't do crowds well thanks to Lily. He sighed and went over to Harry and cuddled him.

"We won't leave you Harry. One of us is going to be by your side at all times."

"But-"

"No buts. Harry we know that you can't help how you feel or react. After what Lily did to you it is understandable."

Harry relaxed. He was glad that his brother didn't think that he was weak. His brother never lied to him before so he knew that he was telling the truth. He cuddled into his brother and fell asleep.

Godric smiled at his brother before he carefully got out from underneath Harry and tucked him in. He crept out of the room and made his way to his father and godparents.

"He's asleep."

"Good." James said as he poured himself a drink and downed it quickly.

"I think I have a mate." Godric stated.

The four adults stared at Godric. His words kept repeating in their heads over and over.

Remus was this first to break out of the shock his oldest cub gave him. "Who?"

"Alice Cullen."

"The veggie vamp?" His father asked. He had heard about them from Remus, Sirius, and Tonks.

"Yeah."

"What makes you think that she is your mate?"

"When I first saw her it felt like I found what I didn't know I missed. Does that make sense?"

"It does." This came from Sirius. "You didn't know you were missing something till you found it, like your mate."

Godric looked at Remus a little scared. "Do...well...do you hate me?"

"Of course not." Remus said as he wrapped his arms around Godric. "You can't help who your mate is and I know that not all vampires are evil."

Godric nodded and hugged him back. He was glad that he wasn't going to lose another person that he cared about.

"Go to bed son you have school tomorrow." James said before he hugged and kissed his son goodnight.

"Okay, night dad." Godric said as he hugged his dad back before he hugged Sirius, Remus, and Tonks. "Night Siri, Remy, Tonks."

"Night Godric." All three said and he left the room to go to bed.

"See you later Jamie." Sirius said as he hugged his friend goodbye.

"Bye Sirius." James replied before hugging the other two. "Bye Remus, Tonks."

"Bye James." Remus said.

"See ya James."

They left to go home and James had a drink of water before he too went to bed. He was glad that his boys were finally happy.

(Cullen Household)

As they entered the house Rose turned towards her two brothers and glared at them. They were shocked at this especially when she growled and pointed her fingers at them.

"You listen to me and you listen really well. Go easy on you mate and go slow. If you guys do anything to hurt or frighten that boy, intentionally or not, I will rip you apart and spread your body parts throughout the world. I'm I understood?"

"Yes ma'am." Both boys said in fear. Rose looked like an avenging angel that could kill with just a glare.

This of course drew the attention of Carlisle and Esme. They walked into the living room to see what was going on. They were confused as to why Rosalie looked like she wanted to kill Jasper and Edward and yelling at them.

"What is going on?"

Since Rose was too busy glaring at the boys Emmett explained to his parents what had happened at school. He then explained to them Rose theory that he was abused.

"He had to be." Rose said when they looked at her. "He flinches when people are near or when people other than his brother touches him. He doesn't speak and he isn't mute. He clings to his brother for safety and when his brother isn't near he gets panicky. Try proving he isn't. I dare you."

"I can't. You just described some signs of abuse. My guess it isn't the father."

"How would you know that?" Esme asked in confusion.

"Gossiping nurses. I overheard them this morning. They know Sirius Black and the Lupins. They are their godparents and the one of the nurses overheard Sirius getting a call last week when she was getting groceries. She was telling the other nurses that she heard Sirius ask why he finally divorced his wife but they didn't hear the reason."

"So it might have been his mum. Oh that poor boy. Let's stop talking about it sense it is rude." Esme said before turning to her boys. "I agree with Rose that you should take it slow and easy."

They both nodded and went upstairs. Alice skipped over to Esme and began telling her about her mate.
