Getting To Know One Another and Revenge

Bella ran from Edward's house, her eyes blind with tears that continued to fall. Three years she'd devoted her life to Edward, yet he'd broken up with her in a matter of weeks over a boy he hardly knew. Her heart felt like it was going to shatter, her breathing ragged she continued to run, not sure where she was going. She didn't know what she was going to tell everyone, she'd be lucky if she could face attending school ever again. Her life felt as though it was over, her entire world falling down around her. She paid no attention to the tree branches hitting her in the face, of even the scrapes she got from falling over all the time. After what felt like hours she found herself at the treaty line. She was nearly at the reservation, Jacob, she thought with a sob. She wanted someone to listen to her, comfort her, and who better than him? So she finally with a destination in mind, began walking towards the Black shack. The tribe didn't have what she would call houses; it was more like huts, shacks. She never noticed it getting dark, but she most certainly heard the werewolf. It was just her luck, when she looked and saw it was the very shape-shifter she'd hoped to see.

"Jacob," sobbed Bella her voice choked with her ragged emotions.

Jacob immediately transformed back into his human form, grabbing the shorts tied to his leg. He immediately put them on, his face clouded with concern for her, how could he not? He loved her. Running over to her, alarmed by how devastated she was. He enveloped her in one of his great big bear hugs, which in turn made Bella sob louder. "What's wrong Bella?" asked Jacob "What's wrong?" he repeated even more urgently.

"Edward's dumped me," Bella was barely able to get passed the huge lump in her throat, but somehow she managed to tell him. Telling someone didn't help, in fact it made the situation all the more real. Tears continued to trickle down Bella's face, splashing on Jacob's warm shoulder dying them almost immediately.

"What?" asked Jacob stunned, no way! Was all Jacob thought? A small part of him cheered the other part was completely stunned. Edward loved Bella, enough to leave her, for her own safety. Too weak to stay away, sure but he'd left. His mind drifted with hope that maybe he could finally have Bella to himself. Biting his lip, he forced himself to stop thinking like that, Bella needed him. She didn't need him fantasizing about her right now, shaking his head he came back to the present.

Bella just continued to sob and clutch at him as though she was scared he too would leave her.

"What happened Bella?"

"A new vampire joined them a while ago," wailed Bella, "Edward loves him." he finished the devastation she felt was evident for Jacob to hear. Edward hadn't told her that he was the one that turned Harry. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but she was friends with the werewolf's and they wanted to avoid confrontations. She just assumed Carlisle had turned Harry.

"He's gay?" asked Jacob stupidly, always did dress to well, Jacob thought with a stab of viciousness. Which meant he'd never want Bella back, she was well and truly his for the taking. The blood sucker should never have come back. How dare he mess with Bella like that?! But he wasn't truly that angry, because now…now Bella was his.

"Oh Jake," said Bella, her voice faltering, "I don't know what to do."

"Come on, you are freezing, lets get you inside," said Jacob as warm as he was, Bella was in shock she needed something to eat, drink and warm to sit, like inside of his house. He lifted Bella without so much as wincing at the weight, being a shape-shifter did come in handy once in a while, other than to kill blood suckers that is.

His heart hurt listening to her crying, which made him feel even guiltier about thinking what he did. A sigh left his lips as he made his way towards the house, he'd have to call Charlie, not something he was looking forward to do. Unless of course, Bella did it, but she wasn't in a fit state to talk to anyone.

The Next Day

Esme walked back into her house, her hands loaded down with bags of shopping, she'd been getting in a few last minute things. Esme had been gone for hours, having decided to go to Seattle rather than shop nearer home. She'd wanted only the best for Harry, since he was family now. She thought with a sly grin, she really liked Harry, and was very happy that they'd gotten together. She felt sorry for Bella; all of them did, well, maybe not Rosalie. She'd always felt Bella was making the wrong decision to become one of them. It wasn't a choice anyone should have to make; someone dying made it extenuating circumstances. In her book anyway.

"Harry!" she called once the door was closed, her coat was hung up. She walked into the living room and sat down, waiting patiently for Harry to come. The sweetheart that he was, he came almost immediately.

"What's wrong?" asked Harry hopping off the last step on the stairs a distinctive bounce in his step. Harry was finally happy, and for once he didn't fear something bad was about to happen because of it. He'd not had a chance to talk to Edward yet, he'd just had a shower, and Edward was still playing on his piano. He'd missed playing he said, after being in Potter Manor.

"Nothing's wrong," she said smiling brightly at him, "This is all the things you'll need for school." she said grabbing things from the bags. Harry's eyes slowly got wider as she continued to plonk items on him.

"Er…Do I really need all that?" gaped Harry his eyes wide. Everything there would have probably lasted him two years at Hogwarts. Then again they had a lot of practical lessons, it wasn't all written work. Was it all written work in that new school? What Harry failed to realize, was it was the Cullen's being well…Cullen's. They overdid everything, it was just who they were.

"Well yes, unless you want to carry a bag around with you all day," said Esme blinking in confusion.

"Won't I?" asked Harry scratching his head, everything balanced in one hand, he had at Hogwarts, carried a bag, otherwise his arms would never have been free.

"No, with these folders for each day, all you need to do is take them with you," said Esme. It was only recently that everyone had begun doing that. Using folders rather than bags, it had become a fashion trend.

"Oh, is that what Mugg…normal people do?" said Harry understanding dawning on him. It was rather odd, but they mustn't have the big workload he did at Hogwarts. He wondered when he'd get his timetable, would it be just before the first class? He hadn't needed a timetable in Muggle primary; it was just the one class with one teacher.

"It's just a recent development, but yes that's what they've taken to doing." stated Esme smiling sweetly at Harry's face.

"Oh, thank you Esme, you didn't have to," said Harry looking down at the pyramid of items she'd just bought for him.

"Oh I wanted to," said Esme brushing off his thanks, its not why she'd done it.

"I'm glad you did," said Harry honestly, he hadn't even thought about school once. He'd have ended up walking into the school with nothing but cloths on his back. That wasn't strictly true; he knew the others would have given him the heads up. Or better yet, let him borrow some of their stuff. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. "I'm gonna put this in the room." his room, his and Edward's actually. He noticed the lack of sound on the piano absently as he climbed the stairs once more. The bundle in his arms didn't as much as twitch as he took it up. Which caused Harry to grin; it was rather cool being a vampire.

Although he'd never be able to play Quidditch again, at least not a beater or seeker. As a beater he'd probably end up accidentally killing someone. As a seeker, well he'd find it and the game would be over within minutes. He was a vampire, with eyesight that good, it was just no use.

"Esme been shopping?" grinned Edward as Harry entered the room, he was standing looking through his record collection, as if he was unsure of what he wanted to listen to. He knew she had, he also knew she'd bumped into Charlie. He ever the gentlemen had been stoic and polite; Edward didn't understand the man at all. He hadn't wanted Bella to be with him, yet the second they break up he becomes the injured party. Humans were just so confusing sometimes.

Harry nodded dropping the contents onto the bed.

"So when do I get my timetable? And what's the story? I don't have any normal education beyond primary school." said Harry wryly.

"We've been thinking about you posing as Alice's long lost brother, well, twin actually, separated by the system and adopted by Esme and Carlisle." explained Edward. "Your timetable is already here, along with the books - it's in the parcel by the door. It came before we went to England."

"Oh," said Harry, in a flash he was gone and back, the 'parcel' in his hands, opening it he found the books. Grabbing the lone piece of paper he looked at all his subjects. Edward helped set up his folders, one for each day, the timetable were already memorized so he put it in the 'Monday' folder. Then the lot was promptly thrown aside and forgotten about. "So Alice is my sister?" grinned Harry in amusement. "Next you'll find your twin out there somewhere." his voice teasing yet tauntingly.

"I somehow doubt that," said Edward dryly a grin on his face.

"You never know," said Harry "But what else? I mean I've not got high school transcripts."

"Actually you do," said Edward seriously, "Jasper thought of everything, always does. You can use the name Potter or Cullen it's entirely up to yourself."

"Don't they already have a name for Alice?" asked Harry confused.

"We only ever put Cullen down, she doesn't like using her real name…they aren't her family we are." stated Edward, they knew the parents had institutionalized her, and that was enough to make them all angry.

Harry blinked and cocked his head to the side, curious about Edward's defensive answer or was it possessive? "What does that mean?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Alice's parents, they had her institutionalized," he said in explanation.

"Why?" Harry asked stunned.

"We don't know, Alice cannot remember her past, she's only been able to gather bits and pieces. According to the records she was declared dead, the day she was sent to the asylum." said Edward.

"That's a shame," said Harry his face showing his sadness for the small petite girl, who according to the Muggles was his twin sister. He hated parents who did that, acted as if everything was alright, deluding themselves. None of them had done worse than Thomas Riddle; father of Thomas Marvolo Riddle also preferred to be known as Lord Voldemort. His actions had been the start of two wars, and one bitter disgusting son.

"It is," said Edward, wondering what Harry was thinking, he was always thinking that when it came to his 'other half's'. Bella had been just the same as Harry, with the ability to block her mind. Instead of thinking more, he brought Harry into his arms and kissed him passionately. It was so refreshing not having to be careful, like he had been with Bella. He had no fear of hurting Harry; ironically enough Harry could hurt him. He was a new born, and much stronger than him. He would remain that way for a year until his own blood was gone.

Harry drew back a few minutes later, thankful that he couldn't blush, he didn't have much experience. He'd been too busy fighting Voldemort to care for a relationship. He'd dated Ginny for a while, but he'd never enjoyed it the way he did Edward's kisses. "I guess I better get ready for school then," he said pouting. He didn't want to seem like a dunce, so he reluctantly reached for a book. He had other things he'd rather be doing, but he had forever, literally, for it.

Edward laughed in amusement going back to his records picking a song he'd decided to listen to.

Later That Night

"Have you ever thought of recording them onto your laptop?" asked Harry. He'd been reading for a few hours, five chapters of each book he had. Unfortunately he was getting bored; he'd never been a big reader. Harry preferred action, it couldn't be helped - it's all he knew.

"I have, they just aren't the same," said Edward grinning widely.

"What do you plan on doing when they are completely ruined? I mean they aren't going to last forever," said Harry curiously, cocking his head to the side, causing Edward to bite his lip. Harry looked utterly gorgeous doing that, an exquisite imp.

"I have back ups," said Edward "I've never had to use one yet." he finished proudly.

"Oh," said Harry nodding his head in surprise, well records aren't made anymore; it was a very valid question. "What's your favourite piece?"

"Claude Debussy," said Edward, surprised by Harry's question.

"Is that the piece you play a lot? Clair de Lune?" he asked for confirmation. "The piano isn't it?"

"Yes," confirmed Edward. "He was born in France, they moved to Cannes during the Franco-Prussian war. His aunt paid for his piano and violin lessons, he was one of those people who composed around activates or turbulence in his own life."

Edward obviously admired the man, he'd bet his fortune he'd read upon him. Maybe even had a few books, but he couldn't see any around, then again with all those CD's and records, there wasn't enough room for much else.

Edward stared at his mate, he didn't normal get asked questions like that. Not even Bella had asked things like that. For most part she wanted to know basic facts about him. Mostly about his family and his vampire abilities. She'd never asked what he liked listening to. She had heard him listening to Debussy once, she'd known it. Apparently her mother had liked it, yet she'd never bothered to mention it again.

"You ready for school then?" asked Edward.

"As I'll ever be, stop mentioning it, I'm eighteen years old, I shouldn't be attending school again." grimaced Harry. Maybe that's what he needed through, some normalcy in his life, so much bad had happened.

"How do you think I feel?" snorted Edward in amusement, he was over one hundred years old, yet he was still bloody attending school. It was just one of those things they had to do, especially if they wanted to remain in one place for longer.

"Bored," said Harry bluntly, like he was going to be.

"I have a way to pass the time," said Edward slyly, abandoning his records in aid of something a little more …fun.

Monday Morning - School

"Do I really have to do this?" asked Harry staring at the building, he and Edward had come in the Volvo the other couples had come in their own cars. Emmett and Jasper in the jeep - Rosalie ironically enough driving. Alice and Jasper were in her yellow car. The building itself was a disgrace. It was as if someone had built a few mismatched buildings, then declared it a school. Not everywhere could be Hogwarts unfortunately. At least he wasn't going to get lost for the first month, and end up late to numerous classes.

"Yes," replied Edward in amusement, Harry had asked that question already, probably ten times this morning. He couldn't be irritated with Harry, because he asked himself the same question every time they moved.

"Everyone's staring already," grumbled Harry as he opened the door.

"Of course they are," said Edward, "Jessica has already told everyone she saw us at the cinema." his voice had gone cold saying that. He'd known it would come, but he'd hoped Harry would be settled in first. He didn't want Harry regretting coming here, being with them while his friends began working.

"Fantastic," murmured Harry.

Once Harry was at his side, he pulled the teenager and newborn vampire to his side. Putting his arm over his shoulder, showing the world he wasn't ashamed. Harry looked at him in amusement and shook his head.

"Show time," said Harry as they walked at a slow leisurely pace.

Edward laughed in amusement at Harry's comment; it's what he'd said to Bella when they'd decided to date. He noticed the lack of red van, she wasn't here yet. It made him feel bad, but Alice was watching - she'd know if she was going to do anything stupid. She had spent time with the werewolf's before going home to Charlie yesterday. Looking at Harry as they walked into the building, he felt any regret vanish. It had been for the best for all of them.

"You need to go to the office, I'll take you, they require you to attend all classes and sign a slip for the first week." explained Edward, as he veered off taking Harry in the right direction. Ignoring all the looks he received, shock, revulsion, disgust, appreciation, lust the list went on. He also ignored their thoughts, he couldn't care what they though of him.

"Why?" asked Harry confused, he hadn't had to do that in primary school or at Hogwarts.

Must be a Muggle high school thing.

"So the teachers know who you are so you don't skip a class for an entire year." said Edward.

"That happens a lot?" Harry asked in surprise. It was a good idea, but no, he wouldn't do that.

"Surprisingly so yes," said Edward opening the door and waited patiently on Harry.

"Hi, my name is Harry er…Cullen I'm here to pick up the signature slip?" asked Harry a little unsure of what it was called.

"Of course," said the woman her eyes lightening up. She noticed the eyes; he didn't have the same colour as the rest of the Cullen's. His eyes were green and as stunning as the rest of him. She shuffled about a bit, until she found what she was looking for. Picking it up she handed it over smiling politely at him. He was stunning, just like the rest of them. It's as though Carlisle and Esme Cullen only took children that were perfect.

"Thank you," said Harry taking it before leaving without saying anything else.

Lunch Hall - Monday afternoon

Harry sat himself comfortably in the seat, they were in the lunch hall, and it was so small compared to the Great Hall. Everything he'd seen or did, he couldn't help but compare to Hogwarts. He'd copied Edward and sat down with food in front of him, he knew it tasted horrible. He actually missed eating…he was beginning to forget the taste of strawberry tart, shepherd pie man; those things had made his mouth water. The comments about him hadn't stopped all day. Unfortunately he was the bad guy, for stealing Edward away from Isabella Swan.

They could gossip all they liked; he wouldn't give Edward up because of their disapproval.

"It's like being back at Hogwarts again," said Harry under his breath, only the Cullen's were able to hear him.

"How so?" asked Jasper.

"At Hogwarts they were all in awe of me or hated me because of an event beyond my control." said Harry rolling his eyes skyward.

"At least you are used to it," said Rosalie in consolation.

"Yeah, people are fickle, always will be." said Harry, how he hadn't turned out bitter he still didn't know.

"Most people," said Edward correcting Harry, not everyone was like that. His family wasn't.

Harry was using magic Wandlessly to make the food disappear, bit by bit, making it seem like they were eating. Using a notice me not charm when using magic, so nobody saw anything. The Cullen's watched on in amusement, still getting used to magic, despite having seen it constantly done in the past month.

Edward's phone went off suddenly, it didn't have sound, and it was vibrating in his pocket.

"Esme is everything okay?" asked the boy, putting the phone to his ear - Esme never called them while they were at school. Carlisle had, but only in dire emergency.

"Bella is destroying your car! She's hysterical," said Esme, from over the phone they could hear smashing going on in the background.

Edward's eyes widened, Bella was smashing his Aston Martin Vanquish? "What?" he said in complete disbelief.

"Come on," said Harry standing up, the rest of the Cullen's followed him - they weren't about to miss the show.

Edward merely nodded before they quickly made their way outside, desperately working hard to try and remain at a human pace.

All the students could do was watch as three cars blasted out of the parking lot leaving skid marks on the ground. Leaving them all wondering what was happening, the Cullen's had never done a thing like that before.

I've decided that this Bella will take revenge on Edward the Muggle way :P lmaoooo the question is will Harry be able to put it back together magically? or will the damange be too much for his magic? what do you think? like all jealous angry girfriends, fiancee or wifes - they always target the cars lol so thats what i'm doing will severus enter the story again? or will i have him die to be with Lily once more? or will he take his vow very seriously and become a vampire to eternally protect harry from all those that wish to harm him? if so will severus get a gift? other than his magic of course :D R&R PLEASE!
