Chapter 11- The Three Mates and One Breakdown

The four friends were getting ready to go but both Terry and Blaise were so nervous about meeting their mates that they spent an hour just deciding on what to wear. They both had a feeling that this was it. This was where they mates were. Luna and Harry were both ready to go and were waiting for them when the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Said Harry

He opened the door, only to be surprised. A smile broke out over his face.

"What are you doing here?"

Edward shifted where he was standing but didn't say anything he only looked at Harry. He was about to say something when Luna came through the door.

"Harry? The two girls are finally ready. You-. Oh. Hello, Edward. What are you doing here?"

"I just came to talk to Harry but if you guys are leaving, I can talk to him tomorrow?"

"Yeah, we should have been at La Push ten minutes ago. Those two girls in there are just taking forever."

Only one person noticed the shift in Edward's eyes when Luna mentioned La Push. Blaise came through the door just in time to see the darkness of hate cloud over the newcomer's eyes. He frowned at the door in confusion before he stepped through to announce his presence.

"We're ready. Oh hello… Sorry to be rude, but who are you?" Blaise asked bluntly

Harry shook his head with a smile before finally introducing the two

"Oh right. Blaise, this is Edward. Edward, this is Blaise. The next one to come down here is Terry."

They shook hands and Terry bounded over to them with a big grin on his face.

"Harry, let's go! We're going to be late!"

"We're already late, Terry" Luna said with a roll of her eyes. She looked towards Harry, "Harry? We'll wait in the car for you."

Harry nodded towards her before putting his attention back towards Edward.

"So?"

"Your busy… I'll talk to you tomorrow. This can wait till then."

Harry furrowed his brow.

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow at school then."

Edward nodded and began to walk towards the door when he changed his mind and walked right back to Harry. He brought him into a tight hug before bringing his mouth right over the other boys. Harry stood there stunned before kissing Edward back for all he was worth. They broke apart breathless before Edward gave him a dazzling smile and walked back to the door. He turned back one more time and waved his hand.

"See you tomorrow, Harry. Be careful tonight."

With that, Edward disappeared into the night, leaving Harry standing there absolutely frozen. There was just a buzzing in Harry's mind before a series of honks from Luna's car broke through it. He shook his head before he beamed and darted out the threshold, closing and locking the door behind him. He ran up to Luna's car and sat in the back with Blaise. Everyone noticed how the atmosphere in the car changed when Harry got in with his happiness plain on his face. Luna looked at him with bright eyes but if anyone had looked closer, they would have seen the concern. Harry looked back at her and told them what happened. Once he was finished, everyone could tell how Harry was completely taken over with bliss. They said nothing, not that Harry expected them to. He just turned his face towards the window, studying the sights before him.

As the car disappeared into the night, a dark figure's eyes followed the car's departure before bringing their hand to their lips with a sigh of contentment. He turned around and once again vanished back to his own home where the rest of his family was waiting

Luna pulled into the reservation and parked the car. The whole group got out and walked down to where there the party was. A bonfire was burning and people were gathered around the food table. Sam was the first one to notice them.

"Hey Harry. Hey Luna. Who are these two?"

Luna stepped forward.

"This is Blaise and Terry. They came to join us here. Terry is also a vampire whereas Blaise is a Magical Light Elf." She introduced.

They were interrupted by a stunned voice.

"Harry?"

Harry stiffened and he almost thought he felt his heart beat. He knew that voice but it couldn't be possible. He slowly turned around and stared at the figure coming towards him. Harry noticed that he still had the same gray eyes, the same long black hair and the same pale skin. He couldn't help but stare back with a small trace of betrayal in his eyes when the figure stopped in front of him.

"Sirius." Harry said, stiffly but couldn't help the small bit of happiness that came bubbling out.

Sirius looked at him cautiously. He knew that voice. He bit his lip and stepped forward and wrapped an arm around his godson. He felt the body stiffen before two arms came around him, returning the hug. He felt Harry break down in his arms and tightened his arms around him. Tear and tear came out of Harry's eyes as he stayed in his godfather's arms. He couldn't help it, they had just come out. But when the tears stopped, the anger and betrayal came back with a vengeance. He pushed Sirius away and punched him squarely in the cheek with one fourth of his strength. A bit of his anger diminished when he saw Sirius fall onto the ground, a hand to his cheek. Sam was about to step forward to put some distance between the two when he felt a hand wrap around his bicep. It was Emily's.

"Just let them work it out."

Harry just stood there with his jaw tightened, watching Sirius get up onto his feet. He really wanted to hit him again but when Sirius stumbled towards him, he bit the urge down.

"Harry, I'm so-"

"DON'T! Don't you dare say your sorry. I can't listen to that bullshit. You had three years to say that. Do you know how I spent my sixth year at Hogwarts? I was completely depressed. I cried practically every night for you. You were my godfather. I loved you like a son would love a father. Do you know how much it pains me to know that you've probably been here the whole time? You could have contacted me once, just once, to let me know that you are okay, that you were alive. I would have liked to know that. Instead, you let me believe that you were dead and I got over it. I had known in my heart that when I died, I would see you again. I would be able to hug you and tell you about the war and how terrible it was to see practically everyone I knew die. Did you know that Remus is dead? Do you know how painful that was? Did you know that he married Tonk's and that she was pregnant? He asked me to be the child's godfather and I thought that it was a perfect idea. I could be like how you were to me. But then the war came and they died along with my godchild. I thought when I died, I would see them too but no, I didn't die in the war like I thought I was supposed to. No, instead a fucking vampire killed me and turned me into one of his species! Now that was hard to know. Knowing that I would never see you or Remus or Tonk's and my godchild. And there you are, standing there alive and kicking. Looking happy. And I thought vampires didn't cry."

With that, Harry broke down to the ground and sobbed, heart wrenching sobs that filled everyone around with grief. Sirius tearfully went up to him and hugged again whispering the same words over and over.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

When the tears disappeared, Harry's strength seemed to disappear with it. He weakly pushed at Sirius but he didn't budge. He just kept his arms wrapped around him. Sirius lifted him up and walked towards the fire with Harry by his side. They sat on the bench and Sirius turned his towards Sam. He nodded. The music started up again but there was a noticeable silence around the group. He turned towards Harry again. He looked back at him resigned and tired eyes.

"Can I explain? Please?"

Harry opened his mouth to speak but found that he couldn't so he nodded.

"When I was hit with my lovely cousin's spell, it didn't kill me, just stunned me. I fell through the veil and felt like I was taking a portkey. Stars passed me as I whooshed past them. I landed in this forest but I was unconscious. That was where Sam found me and brought me back to this reservation where I became healthy again. I gained the weight I had before Azkaban. I wanted to go back to England to protect you but I couldn't bring myself to. You had a destiny to fulfill and I knew that if I went back there, I would die or go back to Azkaban when I had you again. I didn't want that to happen so I stayed here. Don't you see that it was smart to stay here? Bellatrix thought she had killed me, she would have hunted me down until I WAS dead. I couldn't go back there and I couldn't contact you. You know in your heart, that staying here was the right thing for me to do. I really missed you Harry. Please believe that I wanted to go back there, so bad that it hurt."

Harry analyzed Sirius's eyes and found absolutely no deceit in them. He sighed, all the fight in him completely gone. He simply leant onto Sirius's side and stared into the dancing flames. He finally came up with something to say.

"I forgive you. I love you. I missed you."

A smile broke over his face.

"I love you too, Harry. I missed you too."

They sat there for about ten minutes more before standing up and rejoining the party. Harry noticed Terry, Blaise and Luna standing by the food table, chatting. He went over to them.

"Why aren't you guys joining the party? Don't you want to find your mates?"

Blaise looked down.

"Their not here."

Harry looked around and saw that only a few people were there: Sam, Emily and Jared. He went over to Sam and asked where everybody was.

"They are in the kitchen getting more food ready. They should all be out shortly."

Then, laughter sounded neatly down to them and out walked ten more largely built people: Leah, Jacob, Jared, Paul, Quil and two others that Harry assumed was Seth and Embry. Harry looked towards the three others and noticed Luna eyeing Seth. When the guy looked towards her, he suddenly stopped and stared. Harry caught the word imprint from his mind before a sudden gold glaze of shinning stars took over Seth as he continued to stare at her with her staring right back. Her face was blank before a huge smile took over her face and walked towards him. She hugged the guy and whispered Mate to him. She flashed a delighted smile towards Harry. She looked towards the other two and found them starting the same process as her. Terry and Jacob were next to each other, also staring. He looked towards Blaise and saw he in the same position with Leah who for the first time since Harry had met her, was smiling happily. He looked towards Sam and saw him glance toward Leah before going back to his own imprint and kissing her on the cheek.

Harry was happy for his friends. They each had the one that they belonged with and Harry was on the way to getting the same thing. He touched his lips and walked to wards the fire and sat down in a grassy spot, sighing and once again was watching the flames dance around.

When Harry was lost in the fire, a throat was cleared behind him. He turned around to see the one with Seth standing behind him with a smile. Harry looked at him and felt himself returning the smile when the other sat down beside him.

"Hi, I'm Embry." He said, sticking out his hand

"Harry. Nice to meet you." He shook the other hand before letting his own fall back beside him.

A silence took over between the two.

"This is none of my business but… Are you with one of the Cullen's?" Embry asked, eyes flashing.

Harry frowned but answered the question with one simple answer.

"Almost."

Embry looked back at the fire with a contemplative look.

"Almost?"

"It's complicated. I mean I really like him and I think he likes me. We're going to talk tomorrow about something at school. So I'll find out then, I guess."

"I hope for your sake, it works out the way you want it too."

"Thank you."

Silence resumed.

AN: Wow. This has definitely got to be a record for me. Two new chapters so closely posted together. Now, I'm so proud of this chapter rather than Chapter 10 that I think I'm to post it right away. This one just… I just started typing and this came out and I couldn't stop it. Honestly.

By the way, I have decided there will be only two more chapters making that an uneven thirteen. I don't know when I will get around to doing them but hopefully soon.

Please review. I really like them and they help me write this. No pressure
