Woo! Nothing much to say except loving Breaking Dawn pt.1, I like the honeymoon scene with the music and how Edward's afraid of sex XD, classic!
Summary: His life, he could remember when the only thing he had to worry about was school, grades, dating, and making sure he and his brothers survived. Now that their inheritance came he has to drop the others and gain a new threat to their survival. They would fight, they would do their job, but on their own time. Forks seems like a perfect place to avoid it, but they somehow end up taking on a lot more than just their jobs
Disclaimer: I don't own anything
What Draco had not expected to orb back to was Cullen in his house, Harry in only his underwear, and a damned black cat sitting on his couch. Needless to say that him orbing into the room only added to the weirdness.
The cat's tail swished back and forth on the couch, "Draco, you're looking as happy as ever," It remarked with a cat's smile, "Did you finally succeed in getting laid?" The cat asked with a tilt of its head
Edward choked
Draco glared, "What the hell are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be in the Underworld doing God know what?" He growled, he then turned his glare on Harry, "Did you let it in here?"
Harry coughed into his hand, "Sort of," Draco and Yoroichi never really got along that much, Harry attributed it to the fact that Draco was the oldest and Yoroichi was the youngest, Harry being the middle child had to mediate between them.
Draco shook his head, "Whatever, Cullen you got to go," He shooed the Vampire
"But-," He grabbed Edward's hand and was going to protest but Draco cut him off with a look that meant business, he sighed and turned to Edward, "I suspect that it's witch business…is it alright if you come back later?"
"I'll return," Edward smiled, "Then we can continue to talk, yes?" It wasn't a question and Harry hadn't taken it that way. Edward captured his lips with feelings that promised more to come soon, they seemed to have kissed forever until Edward suddenly disappeared.
"Draco!" Harry turned to Draco with grit teeth, "Why'd you do that?"
Draco shrugged, "You were taking too long and what I have to tell you is important."
Harry was close to choking him, "What could be so ever important that I have to-,"
"The Elder's don't want you to see Edward anymore,"
All of Harry's anger at Draco left and an old anger at the Elder's returned, "What?" He narrowed his eyes
"Ooh," Yoroichi said, "And then the plot thickens,"
Draco knew that it was best to word this carefully lest he would end up having to replace many things in the house, "The Elders believe that…it is not a wise choice getting close to a Vampire, they don't trust Edward's ability to hold back."
Nothing blew up…yet, "So you're saying they don't want me seeing Edward again."
Draco moved behind a wall and Yoroichi went inside a closet, "Yes," He said suddenly, he waited for the signs of broken glass or explosions but when there was known he turned back to Harry to see the boy still looking enraged but more of a calm anger.
"I quit,"
Harry walked up stairs leaving his two surprised siblings in his wake
"Can he do that?" Yoroichi asked Draco
Draco didn't know because he had never heard of a witch to actually quit being a witch, "I don't know but I know it's going to affect all three of us."
Harry closed his door gently instead of slamming it and laid on his back on his bed. He was staring up at the roof in defiance hoping the Elders had just heard what he had said that moment. Magic was prickling all around him but he held it back, blowing things up by accident was not going to solve anything right now. He was just so mad that the Elders actually had the audacity to tell him who he can and can't be with, they weren't his parents, true one of them was his caretaker and he did like some of them but still.
Those who knew him must have known that he was just going to happily acquiesce to this, the Elders weren't his mother or father and they couldn't stop him. The only reason Harry quitted was the fact that if the Elders felt that any human the Charmed ones interacted with was a threat then they could make a number of things happen.
They could wipe your memories
They could guarantee you a place in purgatory
You wouldn't be able to be reborn if you got sent to Limbo
They could erase your entire existence, it would be as if you were never born. No one would have any memories of you and everything you ever done would be undone.
It was that last one that had Harry really worried.
He was lying there thinking about his decision to quit being a witch and a Charmed one all together when he heard Edward climbing up his house towards his window. When Edward reached the window he expected to see a happy Harry there waiting for him but met with a morose one, "Something troubles you," Edward pointed out coming towards the bed, "Talk to me,"
Without even looking at him Harry answered, "The Elders think they can control our lives,"
"Why would they think that?"
It was then that Harry remembered that he never told Edward about their status, he sat up in bed and patted the seat right in front of him, "That requires a little story," Edward took a seat and waited patiently, "Now this story goes all the way back, probably before even you were born, back to the days of the Salem witch trials."
He cleared his throat, "We're descended from the Warren line of witches dating back to the first witch, Melinda Warren. She possessed all three of our powers, Draco ability to move things, my Molecule manipulation, and Yoroichi's power to see premonitions of the future. She was once in a relationship with a warlock, Matthew Tate, who betrayed her and exposed her secret to the other villagers. They burned her at the stake for being a witch but she delivered a prophecy before she died, each generation of Warren witches would grow stronger and stronger, finally culminating into three siblings, these siblings would be known as the Charmed ones."
He shifted in his spot a little
"These witches would be known as the most powerful witches to ever have walked the Earth, we're dedicated to protecting innocents from evil, which is why we moved around a lot. The magical bond between us is known as the Power of Three and is the strongest form of magic in the world. With the help of the Book of Shadows that was started by Melinda we've beaten countless of demons, Warlocks, evil creatures. We've saved dozens of Leprechauns, Gnomes, Wood Nymphs, you name a magical creature and it real."
"What is this 'Book of Shadows?"
Harry had disbelief written all over his face, "I can't believe I've never showed you the book, well you have to see it because it's quite a sight." They left Harry's room for the spaciousness of the attic, "Don't believe you seen the attic that much either, well this is where we do most of our witching, making potions, scrying for demons, looking at the book." Harry pointed to the pedestal that had the thick tome on top of it.
"Do you not think it is almost inviting Demons to steal it if you place it so out in the open?" Edward pointed out with a thin smile, Harry took his hand and lead him towards the book
"Well no because The Book has many enchantments on it, its most potent being that nothing evil can touch it." He noticed how Edward seemed hesitant to touch the book, "You're not evil Edward,"
"Yes I am," Harry took his hand and placed it on the book, he gave Edward a smile as he could feel the hard body stiffen more, when the book didn't run away or create a shield to protect itself Harry took his hand off of Edward's but the book still stayed on the pedestal, "You book must be defective,"
Harry snickered, "You know sometimes I think the book is alive," He rubbed his finger on a symbol that represented his familial bond, "Whenever we need something and it has it, it'll flip its pages right to it no matter what it is. It has information from every Warren witch that ever went up against a demon," Harry flipped its pages to its one of its more later entries, "And some creatures as well,"
Edward gave a smirk at the entry, "I have made the Book of Shadows," There it was an entry on Mythical Vampires, their habits, how their eating patterns change, it also had his picture as the representative, "You are a very good artist,"
"I didn't draw that, the Book did," He said holding himself, "I guess the Book sensed how close you were to me and added you as an entry picture," He turned towards Edward, "The Elders don't want me to see you anymore," He said abruptly breaking the mood between them, "They think of you as a risk to our safety with your….condition and all."
Edward's smile turned bitter, "They are correct but what could they do if we do not wish to comply?"
Harry sighed and went to sit on the couch, "I'm more afraid of what I don't know they can do, but I gave them a choice, either they allow me to have you or I quit,"
Edward sat next to him, "Quit being a witch all together?" Harry nodded, "I do not wish you to, at least not for someone like me, I don't deserve it,"
"Why must you do that?" Harry bristled, "I like you Edward, I think you're deserving so why don't you?" Harry asked
"I'm not," Edward said sharply, "Let's forget about this,"
Harry flopped on the couch running a hand through his hair, "Wow we've officially been a couple for only a few hours and we've already had our first argument." Edward gave that lazy smile before joining Harry on the back of the couch, he put his arm around the boy's shoulders and moved his body closer.
A snap was heard from the doorway
There was a voluptuous tanned woman standing in the doorway, her hair was black like Harry's and pulled into a high ponytail, "Aww look at the two of you, that's going in the book." Edward didn't know who the woman was or what she was doing in the house, "No need to be afraid Vampy, it's just me Yoroichi or in this form I like to be called Alex, Alexis Halliwell at your service.
"But I thought-,"
"Yeah, due to Yoroichi's male voice people think that Alex is actually a boy, but no Alex is our sister."
She smiled, her violet eyes shining, "Yep, come on Harry, we have to do that thing downstairs,"
Harry's demeanor changed to one of elation, "Oh yea, come on Edward it'll be fun," He dragged his boyfriend downstairs where Draco was already waiting for them. Harry made him lean on the stairs as he stood in a circle with his big brother and little sister.
As one they each grabbed the other's hand and concentrated on the flow of magic around the room. The chandelier above them started to glow and blue light's swirled around them in a circle.
"It's been so long that our powers have weakened," Alex said, "But now that we're together we're as strong as when we got our powers."
"Right," Draco broke the circle as soon as it was finished, "When are you leaving again?"
Alex gave a mischievous smile, "I'm not," She hugged the both of them and squealed, "I'm staying!" She bounced up and down as the both of them groaned.
That's right guys, Alex is a girl, I have no idea how you all thought that Yoroichi was a boy. I mean the Yoroichi in Bleach is a girl who can turn into a boy cat XD but yea and don't worry you guys, Jacob is coming soon, some secrets about Alex are revealed and The three of them get to save their first innocent since coming to Forks
