With Me Tonight – The Used

Harry felt really bad about how he had treated Remus and tried to think of a way to apologize. Remus really was an awesome father/godfather and honestly was trying to help. The poor werewolf was a great guy who had lost everything and given up all of his life for Harry.

Harry spent the rest of the ride home pondering what he could do to fix his mistake…

HHHHHH

The week passed in much the same way only with a slightly lighter note after Harry had apologized….

'Flashback….

Harry found the kitchen spotless when he got home…things that weren't even on his mental list of items that had been destroyed were shinning. Harry let out a long sigh as he felt the weight of his words wash over him again…

"Did I forget something?" A shy timid voice said from behind him.

"Oh Remus…" Harry said seeing the worried look on his godfather's face.

The man practically reeked of uncertainty and dejection. Harry remembered when McGonagall had told him that Remus had a problem with wanting people to like him and even now it was obvious.

"You really never did a thing wrong…I was just so frustrated from school and really shouldn't have taken it out on you! I feel horrible you do everything…and I just…" Harry broke down in tears throwing his arms around the man.

"Oh cub…" Remus said with a small sigh.

They both knew that by tomorrow it would be water under the bridge but until then they would be a little tender.

End flashback'

Harry had started teaching the man about kitchen tools, safety, and how to prepare food. The bookworm took to the challenge like water and they found the lessons to be another way to bond. To date Remus had learned how to cook a few simple meals and by the end of the month would be well on his way to making harder ones.

HHHHH

Harry had informed Remus of the Cullen coven and his open invitation to dinner…inwardly he was amused that vampires, the world's deadliest predator would invite him to dinner.

After a few phone calls Esme had assured him that he could bring his godfather for the evening and would be delighted to be able to see Harry again…

RRRRRRRR

Riley was having an easier time adjusting to his new diet than he thought he would. Sure he still had thoughts and desires, but had found the challenge to be invigorating.

"Hurry up! We still have to get home and change so that we can be ready for Esme's guests!" Bree called as she raced through the woods toward the two-story building.

The house was truly a masterpiece and the Cullens had done more for them than really necessary. He could honestly see himself being a member of the family in the future. Well, he could, once they got passed the current issues that were plaguing them.

RRR

Riley changed out of the tattered and bloody clothes that had been destroyed on the hunt. After a quick shower he donned a fitted pair of jeans and a casual light gray button down shirt. After rolling the sleeves up to the elbow he put on a pair of black leather boots and walked downstairs to the living room where the others were patiently waiting for the new arrivals…

Surprisingly Bella had become a friend to him in the short time that he had known her and he would gladly protect her as a friend, not just to repay his debts and fix his mistakes. The girl was calm and collected and after hearing his apology and his reasoning for helping the woman she had forgiven him despite Edward's protests.

She and Bree were both waiting patiently and discussing Wuthering Heights, which he felt was one of the most despicable piles of filth ever written

Edward snorted across from him making him look up. A small imperceptible nod mad him grin along with the bronze haired vampire.

The sound of a car driving up the lawn drew all of their attention to the front door, none of them wanted to seem too eager so they waited patiently for the two men to nock on the door.

The soft sound of a nock echoed through the room where Emmett and Jasper were playing Tekken 6 and Alice and Rosalie were looking at the newest fashions of the fall.

Esme and Carlisle opened the door to reveal his latest obsession. The lithe raven-haired teen that had haunted his thought and a man that immediately set him on edge.

'All of these other vampires had no business being around his unclaimed mate! Not until he had marked the teen showed the boy…'

The thoughts made his and Edward's eyes widen and they shared a look of shock and sent the Dirty blonde reeling.

RHRHRHRHR

"Hello Esme!" Harry said smiling, "This is my godfather, Remus Lupin"\

"I would have never guessed that you were "The" Carlisle Cullen who started the first Vegetarian Vampire coven" Remus said startling the rooms occupants.

"What?" Was the only thing that the elder vampire could say.

"Sorry! I forget my manners, I'm Remus and I'm a True werewolf…" Remus said…

HHHHHH

Harry found the whole situation daunting and allowed the two men to settle the details knowing that the others would hear every word. He found the house to be charming in its openness and allowed his eyes to trace all of the pictures and sculptures that covered the walls and tables. The room was well lit without being too bright and the small shadows that remained just made the space seem cozy.

"Do you like it?" Esme asked making him blush at his blatant staring.

"Its beautiful, did you design it?" He asked gazing at the plush leather couches and wood floors.

"Yes, it truly is one of my favorite homes…" She said with a smile.

Esme began introducing him to the others and he found the vampires to be a bit standoffish.

"Geeze, I'm not gonna bite, I promise!" He huffed as they continued to be wary of his presence.

"I like you kid.." Emmett said chuckling at the choice of words used.

"Besides I knew what you were the moment I saw you, plus I've met vampires before…" Harry said with a grin.

Harry noticed that Riley, the vampire who was new to the diet according to his eye color, was shocked by something. The man's eyes followed him before looking away and the intensity of the crimson/amber orbs sent shivers down his spine.

The rest of the Cullens seemed to relax as he and Bella greeted each other before Esme offered to show him the house.

Rolling his eyes at the behavior that reminded him of the middle school dance he had attended with Dudley, Harry allowed Esme to lead him around the house showing him the different types of architecture that flowed seamlessly throughout the building…

Kind of a filler to the next chapter where the two families discuss themselves and maybe where Riley/ Harry begins. I really hope you liked it and thanks so much for the reviews. The drama will begin pretty soon as the war begins and Harry and Riley really begin.

PLEASE REVIEW!

LUV,

RAZZIE!
