Harry Potter & The Loss Of Faith
Chapter 26
Harry groaned finally wakening up, to find himself face to face with three vampires, with red eyes. He stiffened upon seeing them, the one with blonde hair looked sort of like the guy that had hurt him. Everything he had fought so hard to forget came tumbling back, quicker than lightening he had himself on his feet stumbling a little. Quickly grabbing his wand and crouched down waiting on them making the first move. If anything it seemed to amuse the vampires and Harry didn't like that, he wasn't used to being laughed at. He was Harry Potter after all; even Voldemort found him annoying and a threat.
"Well well who do we have here a weakling you weren't supposed to fall unconscious" sneered James his head coking to the side wondering what the piece of wood was for. Did the boy really think that would protect him?
Harry didn't reply just tried to keep an eye on them which was hard to do as they were surrounding him. He knew he was deadly outnumbered, three vampires against one wizard as good as he was there was no hope for him. However, Harry wasn't one to stare at the reality in front of him and accept it.
"What do you think that piece of wood will do human" smirked Victoria.
"Do not tease our food" said Laurent.
"What's the fun in that" sneered James licking his lips.
"Why do you not smell" sniffed Laurent looking more curious than anything.
"I wonder if you will taste as bland" sneered Victoria.
"That's right I taste absolutely disgusting" sneered Harry right back his eyes jerking back and forth between the three vampires.
He just hoped he could stop them attacking the school, even if it meant his life in the process he would die happily. He wasn't being a hero but by Christ he didn't want to see anything happening to anyone not if he could avoid it.
He saw James prowling forward and reacted, he fired of a fire spell only for flowers to come out of his wand. He had actually felt his baby's magic changing the spell, and was completely stunned.
"Oh you bad baby" muttered Harry that said a hand then put him in a choke hold, James then put him against a tree.
"How did he do that" said Laurent fear entering his voice.
"It doesn't matter" smirked James the wand was already out of his grip.
"He knows the existence of vampires…which means there must be some around here" said Laurent angrily.
"We will be doing the Volturi a favour" hissed James his nose right next to Harry's juggler vein.
"If you say so" gasped Harry. Why did he never get a rest? It was as if he was doomed for a life of pain, danger and death. Harry wondered silently if he still had his mothers sacrifice running through his veins.
"Who are the vampires you know?" hissed James knocking his prey to his feet staring down at him.
Harry's fear was becoming more prominent, even the Vampires could smell it he couldn't get the memories to leave him alone. It wasn't helping that James looked a lot like the man that had hurt him.
Fear was a good thing in some situations as fear caused his magic to react, Harry twisted the accidental magic to do his bidding, as James was about to pick him up again he yelled 'REDUCTO' and the vampire went flying, five trees were blasted apart as his body propelled through them. He fell with a grunt a massive hole in his chest where the spell had struck; he wasn't healing half as quickly as they normally did. It must have something to do with the magic; Victoria picked him up screeching in anger asking how he had done it.
"Let him go!" snarled Alice angrily. No one threatened her new best friend even if he wasn't her best friend yet.
Emmett, Edward and Alice were there, Jasper and Rosalie were in different classes from them all. They couldn't get them out of class without arousing suspicion, and they didn't want anyone coming outside right now.
"You're the vampires he knows" smirked Victoria.
"Let him go" snarled Edward.
Alice had been in class when she got the vision as and usual Edward saw it, if Harry ended up dead James would end up coming after a few others in the school. Their secret would end up nearly revealed as one of the police officers hit the nail on the head and says it looked like a vampire attack. They would end up having to move, usually they didn't interfere with vampires feeding but they had to get involved this time.
Edward and Emmett wouldn't exactly let Alice go off herself, Jasper would kill them then the others would too. Not that Emmett needed persuasion he was always up for a fight especially when he was doing something as mind numbing as work he had done one hundred times over.
Harry had been trying to figure out how to use his mother's sacrifice to get out of the vampire's grip. He was actually running out of air and turning almost blue, just as he felt himself falling almost unconscious Victoria let out an inhuman scream as her hand suddenly began turning to dust. Harry felt a sense of De-Ja-Vu as he used his hands to grab the screaming woman all vampires watched shocked as Victoria was turned to dust. There wasn't even a strand of hair left; Laurent was already backing away his arms up in surrender.
"Touch me again you get the same treatment" snarled Harry angrily getting up only to slump against a tree.
"You will pay for this" snarled James angrily his chest finally beginning to heal.
"You brought that on yourselves! You attacked me not the other way around, arsehole" snarled Harry angrily sounding much like the vampires that were surrounding him.
Snarling James took off and Laurent surprisingly gave him one last warning.
"James is a tracker; his senses are absolutely lethal I've never seen anyone like him in my five hundred years. You better watch yourself, he always hunts his obsession and you've become his new toy" warned Laurent.
Harry just kept on looking at the man, making him very uncomfortable and as quickly as he was there he was gone.
"How did you do that?" asked Emmett suspiciously.
"How did you know about the existence of Vampires?" asked Alice.
"And why do you smell like one" questioned Edward.
Harry narrowed his eyes, he had just been attacked by three vampires, and his magic had been hijacked by his unborn baby, nearly killed. Almost suffocated his throat was killing him and they had the gall to ask him questions. Snarling angrily he stomped off in the direction of the school and got to his class. Apologizing for being late, he stated that he had been unable to leave the toilet until now. The teacher didn't want to know any more than that and quickly told him to sit down.
He avoided the Cullen's like a plague; unfortunately it didn't last because as soon as he got outside the school they surrounded him. He noticed the other Cullen's were there as well, Esme and someone he assumed was probably Carlisle. Harry tried to walk away but Edward took a hold of his arm and pushed him in the direction of his 'Parents' sighing softly he got into the car and Edward got in beside him.
"This is called abduction you know" hissed Harry angrily. Gulping that had hurt his throat was on fire where Victoria had grabbed him.
"We just want to talk to you, we wont harm you" soothed Esme.
Harry scoffed but kept silent on the very fast drive back to the Cullen's house, anyone else would have been scared at the fact he was in a car with vampires and how fast Carlisle was going. He on the other hand was used to it, it was only slightly faster than his broomstick…thinking of broomsticks made him realise just how much he missed Quidditch. He hadn't been on his broom since he and Bella had gone on it.
Carlisle was very curious about this teen, from what he had heard he was obviously a force to be reckoned with. The teen had turned a vampire to dust, and held his own against three of them. Alice had seen a different outcome, James had killed Harry but since the others had come he had been out numbered and ran off.
Esme was surprisingly worried about what the others might do to the teen; she obviously really liked him for some reason. Esme had always been against violence she was the reason they just backed off most of the time and moved. She was also wondering why she hadn't smelt any vampire smell from the teen.
Harry noticed the Volvo following them obviously the others had used the other car.
"If anything happens to my car you're paying for it" muttered Harry, he wasn't exactly popular who knows what Jessica Stanley would do to his car.
"I doubt anything will" smirked Edward.
"Are you going to go any faster?" asked Harry his question directed at Carlisle.
"You're not scared are you?" asked Esme looking around at Harry.
"No" grinned Harry when Carlisle's foot went down and the car got faster.
Carlisle had thought Harry was being sarcastic but in the end he had to admit that the kid wasn't even the slightest bit scared. Carlisle had never met a human like this one; he couldn't wait to get to know him better. After their talk he would need to take a look at Harry's throat it looked really bad and swollen.
Edward took a look himself and noticed for the first time the very bruised throat; it was already black and swollen. Edward was surprised he was able to talk at all; he supposed he should just be grateful that his windpipe wasn't crushed anyway.
They were all in for a shock that night that was for sure.
"Wow that's you're house?" asked Harry as the car came to an abrupt stop in front of the house.
"I designed it myself" said Esme quite proudly.
"I know you designed mine as well its similar just a helluva lot smaller" said Harry.
When the Cullen's got out of the car he didn't, he was being rebellious and didn't want to make it any easier for them. He wondered silently what they would do if he refused to get out of the car, probably carry him in like a big baby.
"Get out before I force you to" snapped Rosalie her patience getting the better of her.
"Go ahead" smirked Harry.
She didn't move, she had heard what happened to the other vampire and she so wasn't going to touch him. Harry sniggered at that, before sighing he wanted this over with so he could go home and get something to eat - he was hungry.
The vampires were all giving him a wide berth, great someone else fearing him…or something else. He silently wondered why he hadn't been able to protect himself earlier, when he was in Voldemort's dungeons. If only it would be as easy to kill Voldemort he would die a happy man free with the knowledge his parents killer was in hell.
"Can I get you something to eat or drink? I still have some food in the house and its fresh" said Esme looking really excited.
"What can you cook?" asked Harry curiously.
"Anything I have plenty of cook books in the house" said Esme nearly jumping up and down.
"I love pasta if you want to make that" shrugged Harry.
"Brilliant" beamed Esme quickly going through to the kitchen, Harry curiously followed her and sat on one of the many seats.
"How did you do that to Victoria?" asked Edward.
"Was that her name? Did you know her?" asked Harry wearily.
"No I can read…most minds" said Edward. If they were going to ask Harry to trust them they might as well give something in return.
"But not mine" grinned Harry.
"No" said Edward.
Harry removed his suddenly visible choker and asked in his mind 'How about now?'
"How did that happen?" asked Edward looking at the choker curiously.
"Can I put it on?" asked Alice gleefully.
"Only if I get it back" he teased.
Alice quickly put it on, Edward was shocked that he couldn't hear anything, what was that choker doing? How was it defeating his gift? Stopping him from being able to read the mind of the wearer…what kind of choker was it.
"I'll buy that off you for a million pound" said Rosalie she would do anything for a choker like that. She didn't like Edward reading her mind all the time, although she was used to it now.
"No way I'm alright thanks" said Harry quickly taking the choker and putting it back on, Alice put her Cullen crest choker back on too.
"Can you tell us how you managed to kill that vampire?" asked Carlisle taking charge as the conversation deviated from the original question.
"That will take a lot of explaining" groaned Harry; he would have to explain his past and everything about himself. If he wanted their help…well he needed it really he would have to tell them everything otherwise they might not help him. Who knows how many of the others had gifts like Edward he couldn't take the chance of them knowing he wasn't being completely truthful.
