Harry woke up to a plate with a cover next to his bed, he guesses under a preservation charm. He staring at the dishware for a little longer, unsure if it really was safe to eat, but after some thought, Harry decided he couldn't just not eat his entire time here. Especially if it really was going to be as long as The Alpha said it would be. He convinced himself to eat, lifting the cover, he found what looked like a club sandwich with chips.

Just as he was finishing, there was a knock on his door, Harry didn't really want to talk to anyone, but he figured there was no stopping anyone from coming in anyway. "Come in.." I guess.

The Alpha walked into the door, he took in Harry's appearance with an eyebrow raise and looked elsewhere. He was still in bed with the clothes he was given earlier, he didn't ask who's they were, they had just been laid out on the bed when he got out of the shower..a few hours ago. The Alpha took the clothes in his hand, and tossed it on the bed at Harry's feet. "We'll have to get your measurements later so we can get some clothes for you that actually yours. When you're finished eating, come meet us in my office. You do remember how to get there, right?"

Nodding, Harry was sure he could manage. As soon as the Alpha left again, Harry collapsed back on the bed. He wanted to talk to Ginny, make sure they could at least leave things were okay, but he knew that was not going to lead to anything good. If he left, he'd die. That was the end of it, there wasn't a way around that one, even for the boy-who-lived. Getting out of bed, Harry started to wonder how they had an extra room for him if there was so many people in tents outside.

Dressing, he made himself down to The Alpha's office, pushing the door open he heard voices that instantly stopped as he walked into the room. "So..I'm here." In the room was Josh, Aeron and The Alpha. Josh looked away from Harry first, irritated about something. "So since I'm here for the foreseeable future, what is it I'm supposed to be doing here?"

Josh cut in, "Are they threatening you or something?" The younger boy ignored the two groans behind him, followed by his father's voice.

"I really don't think it matters." Harry finally said, looking at everyone in the room.

Spinning around, Josh rounded on Aeron as soon as the words came out of Harry's mouth. "We both know that answers the question. I don't know what you are doing, but I don't fucking approve. You and him," Josh points to his dad, "are playing with fucking fire. Guess what happens when you play with fire?! You get burned. Guess what happens when vampires burn Aeron?" Josh didn't even know what was going on, but he knew what it was, was risky because it involved Harry bloody Potter.

Aeron pursed his lips, he glanced at Harry, then to Aeron, "I'm not threatening him. Josh..we've asked you to let it go. Don't you trust us?"

"Why is he still here then? Why didn't you turn him anyway? Why didn't he just get dropped off at St. Mungos? Why don't either of you answer any of my questions. Ask me again, why I don't believe you that he's not being forced to stay here." Josh fired off questions after question, to both Aeron and his dad.

The questions were met with silence.

"Right. Don't ask me about trust again. Because the answer is no, I don't trust either of you." Josh stormed off out of the office, Aeron took off after him at vampire speed, rushing passed Harry. He wasn't sure how far Josh had gotten, but even he could hear the, "Don't fucking touch me!"

It was only seconds before Aeron was back in the office, slamming the door with his entrance. "As soon as he finds out what I did-"

"He won't."

Aeron hissed, his fangs coming out to The Alpha, "You aren't that stupid! He already knows something is up!"

"Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?!" Alex yelled back coming out of his seat, his hands pressed to his desk, he looked ready to leap over it. "You better put those fangs back in your head and remember how you even got them, Keir."

"Now I'm Keir. You're going to end up in bloody Askaban and I'm going to be only damn person who knows why! Where do you think I'll end up? Josh is going to fucking burn my ass alive, because right now they think I'm the damn reason we're in this situation!" Aeron had never been so angry and frustrated with the Alpha in the years they've known each other. And Aeron was human trying to win him over to get with Josh when they first met. Now, Josh wasn't even going to hear him before the Potter boy was here.

Harry decided to intervene at this point, "Why can't anyone know I'm here anywhere? Wouldn't it make them feel better I'm not going to just..tell everyone about this place?"

Retracting his fangs, Aeron turned and looked at Harry letting out a breath through his nose, "Because..Because if Josh knew about the vow, he and Casey would not be in agreement to the terms."

"Because you know I won't turn." Therefore, Mr. Humens would be turning himself in to the Aurors or die.

Aeron laughed, "You'd be the one choosing death. You'd be the one walking away from your own life, that's suicide and nothing less. No, I don't think you won't turn, I think you'll suffer it until the very last second - and then, you'll change your mind. Because you are no use to anyone, your girlfriend, your godson, if you're dead. Josh and Casey would disagree with our little deal because they happen to value human life. While they don't think wizards, like yourself, are fit to run this country alone..they don't think they should be forced into another life either." Aeron explained carefully, Josh was going to end things between them. He already knew it. He had witnessed the Unbreakable vow, he had been the one to bind them, Aeron knew he should already kiss his relationship with his mate goodbye.

"Aeron..do you think I would have you do this without thinking ahead a few steps? I know what I'm doing."

Aeron and Harry did not believe that was case. Aeron had more to worry about than just the Potter boy at the moment. "Tonight, I want to walk him through the grounds. Set up a tent for him, I was thinking perhaps you and Josh could show him the works..and get him apart of the training schedules."

"Alpha-" Aeron wanted to cut it, not believing that Josh was even going to be willing to talk to him. Let alone live in the tents with him.

"It's not really a suggestion."

Pursing his lips, Aeron just stepped back a little trying to calm himself before he snapped again. Everything Alex Humens was coming up with today, was not helping his temper. "Okay...Okay." He walked passed Harry, "Come on then." He was pretty eager to get out of the Alpha's office now.

Following Aeron out of the office, Harry no less confused on how this was supposed to help him want to stay in this insanity. "Look..The Alpha..ask me another day about his madness. He's normally not that much a pain in the ass. Normally he makes sense. But nothing about this situation makes nothing. You don't know Mr. Rosenfelt very well, but he's the smartest wizard I've ever met...If he finds out we put his mate at risk, we might as well a.k. ourselves."

"He put himself at risk."

Aeron snorted, "And I'm sure he'll put The Alpha through the ringer too...but it'd be hard to do that dead. Because if you chose to die, The Alpha wouldn't risk the base for his own life. Everyone knows that."

"Suicide like you said back in the office." Harry fired back, wanting to argue his own point about not turning.

"No. Sacrifice. If the base was gone, a lot of people would be lost. If he turned himself in, the base would be found out. He'd rather die and hope some else continued then throw it away. You..you'd be fighting against being turned because he would turn himself in. So your death...it will be for nothing."

That took Harry back, he didn't think about it like that. He would die and it wouldn't make a lick of difference, because the Alpha didn't plan on turning himself in anyway. So there would be no making this right. He'd die and it would be for nothing. Defeated, Harry just continued to follow Aeron, "If I did turn..what would that mean for me?"

Stopping, he looked at Harry, "I would have to turn you. You'd basically be..hungry for a long time. I'd be coaching you through the hunger, so you wouldn't hurt anyone-"

"Like you hurt me."

Silence.

"Damn it. Come here." Aeron grabbed Harry's bicep and pulled him down another hallway, and into another room. Aeron lit the candles in the room, "This is the dark room. No one comes in here and..it's..vampire proof. So no one can hear anything in here..out there."

"Okay.." Harry didn't really know what to say to that, but he just nodded. "I want you to know, this is not off to a good start. Is where you tell me I'm going to die?" Harry asked as calmly as one could manage in a situation like this.

"You watch too many muggle movies...But no." Aeron took a seat on the futon along the wall, the same one him and Josh laid the night before. "Sit down. I have a lot to explain to you...Because if this is going to work for everyone..I can't have you in the dark." I can't keep Josh in the dark anymore either.
