I'm sorry I take so long to update. I've been pretty busy with my Harry Potter charms and bottle cap charms. :/ I forgot! If you have it in your hearts to forgive me yet again, read and review. Gracias!
Disclaimer: Rowling and Meyer own the characters and their worlds, I write the fanfiction!
Harry began to piece stories together. His pixie-like friend was very helpful. For a human, she was very observant of other's actions. Particularly those of her family. Then again, Harry wasn't all that sure she was a human.
"So, what have you got?" Alice asked, leaning towards him.
He tried to look at her features from the corner of his eye. Pale skin, dark circles under eyes, inhuman gold irises. He was positive she was no threat to him, if they were all the same creature, surely they would have disposed of him by now.
"Tell me what you are." Harry commanded.
Alice giggled, taunting him again.
"So hung up on frivolous details!" She smiled brightly at him.
"If they are so frivolous, why do you keep avoiding the question?" Harry asked.
Alice rolled her eyes.
"I don't like to brag." She whispered.
"I think I'll keep my information then." Harry smiled back, in an condescending way.
She sighed deeply as if she were a child who was used to getting her way.
"You're no fun. Just like Edward." She mocked.
And then he caught it, a stray beam of sunlight bounce off of her arm from the abundant source of windows. It glimmered brightly, as a diamond would. She moved it quickly. Her once smiling face was now rigid and cold. She stared at Harry.
"You're a vampire?" He asked, feeling on his neck, a favorite place for a vampire to bite.
She scoffed at the gesture.
"We don't eat people, Harry." She said.
Harry went over the vampire checklist. Everything fit, except for the red eyes. Alice and Edward's eyes were both golden. He never heard of any sort of vampire with gold eyes. He knew vampires as creatures who thought of themselves as the higher race compared to humans. New Borns had no control, most chose to have no control. There were many times where he had to burn pieces of those who attacked him without warning.
"I've never heard of a vampire that didn't eat people, " He gripped his wand tightly in his right hand.
"There are seven vampires in this house, if we wanted to eat you we would have." Alice scolded, "I can't believe you would think of me in such a way."
"Manipulation appears to be a favorite game of yours."
Alice frowned and crossed her arms.
"You get my games too quickly." She growled, "Tell me about Edward."
Harry sighed.
"From what I've been able to piece together about you seeing Edward completely immersed in a book for days at a time, I would say he was astral projecting. Somehow he ended up in my world, attending school…but he was human. I've touched him before, when we were playing Quidditch. How is that possible?" Harry went into his brooding mode quickly.
Alice's face scrunched.
"Quidditch?" She asked.
"It's a game we play on brooms." Harry answered absent-mindedly.
Alice burst into laughter, tearing Harry out of his thinking. He didn't appreciate the act, his brooding time was very important to him.
"Do you mind?" He growled.
Alice giggled again and covered her mouth. Suddenly, she titled turned her head to one of the windows, lifting her ear up. Harry watched her serious face quickly form into a grin, which Harry filed under mischievous.
"Edward is trying to listen. If you go look outside, he's sitting in that tree."
Harry was amazed by her hearing abilities. He stood and slowly walked to the window, leaning his head down to look up into the tree. Sure enough, the bronze haired vampire glared down out him. His face was cold and stern.
"He doesn't look that happy to see me." Harry commented lowly.
"Poo, he's just going to have to come and say hello. You're old friends right?" Alice was too quick for Harry.
Before he could blink, the glass doors were open and Alice stood outside. She put her hands on her thin hips and cocked them sideways with an attitude. The two vampires stared at each other momentarily.
Harry felt solemn. He neglected to mention that Cedric died right in front of him. He was sure that the vampire harbored some ill feelings towards him. If Harry's name hadn't been put into that goblet, Cedric wouldn't be dead. What would Voldemort want with any other competitor?
Edward jumped down, landing on the balcony next to Alice. They exchanged looks. Edward's was full of anger and Alice's full of faith. He grunted at his sister and held his head high as he walked in to meet Harry. He wrinkled his nose in distaste as Harry's magical scent filled his nostrils. Venom poured into his mouth, begging for him to bite. He was sure Harry tasted wonderful.
"Cedric?" Harry asked.
Edward stared at him. He met a smog as he tried entering Harry's mind again. Nothing.
"Why do you keep calling me that?" Edward's face remained stern and unchanging as if someone had carved it out of marble.
"Because I'm pretty sure you went to school with me. The resemblance is more than striking." Harry stared back and put his hand in his coat pocket.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Edward insisted.
Alice appeared by Harry's side causing him to grip his wand a little tighter. 'Stubborn,' she mouthed.
"You told him?" Edward's face now grew angry and he took a step toward them.
Harry pulled his wand from his side and pointed it at Edward. The vampire made the mistake of jumping.
"Ha!" Alice yelled and pointed a finger at him, "Why did you jump? It's just a stick." She mocked.
"For all I knew he could be throwing a knife at me!" Edward yelled.
Harry chuckled.
"Generally, vampires are impervious to that sort of thing. You only jumped because you know what this wand can do." Harry taunted, "You're going to have to tell me."
Edward growled. He felt as if he were being shoved into a corner. His life as Cedric was one that he never wanted to relive. Harry was forcing him to admit who he was and relive his past. He would bombard him with questions, talk about Hogwarts, and show the vampires a few magic tricks. Edward wanted it all to go away. He wanted Harry out of the way just as he was cast out of the way.
'Kill the spare.' The words of the Dark Lord played in his head.
Edward's brain began to overload. He charged Harry and smashed him on the wall. Venom filled his mouth. Why should Harry have magic if he couldn't? He could feel it flowing through Harry's veins and he wanted to take it away, just as Harry's meddling took his magic away; His freedom from being a monster.
The bronze haired vampire opened his mouth only to have Harry shove something inside it. Edward closed his mouth and coughed, but the object wouldn't budge. It began to burn his mouth. It felt as if someone had lit a fire inside of him, like magma it burned down his throat.
"Harry?" Alice pulled her brother off of the wizard. "Edward, what's wrong?"
Edward backed away, choking. He held a hand over his mouth and foam spewed from it. The vampire collapsed.

Keep in mind after Harry was shoved into the wall, the rest of the action happened in a few short seconds. What did Harry do? Oh noes! Lol
I've got most of the story written in a notebook and the weekend is coming so hopefully I will be able to write soon!!
Thanks for reading and enduring my long periods of waiting! Please review!
