A/N : Hello everyone. Thank you for waiting patiently. Here's the next chapter. Hope you like it. Read and review.
CHAPTER 5 :
The cullen house was silent. Each member waiting patiently for their father but a single thought in all their minds. Who is that new boy, Hadrian Evans ? Why didn't he affect Jasper ? It just wasn't done. Human blood tempted them, Jasper more so, since he was new. Then what made Hadrian Evans different ?
It was late in the evening when Carlisle returned home. It was too quiet. Something must have happened. He rushed in and asked when he saw everyone gathered, "What's the matter ?"
"Carlisle, we wanted to discuss something" Said Esme.
Carlisle looked and found all his children looking towards Jasper.
So whatever this thing they wanted to discuss was possibly related to Jasper.
So Jasper came forward and told him everything. How that new boy Hadrian didn't tempt him, had the oppsite effect and calmed him. He told about the tutoring and how nice it felt.
Carlisle pondered on the strange situation for a while and then said,
"Jasper, I will be honest with you. What you are describing leads to the conclusion that, you may have possibly found your mate. However, please don't get your hopes up. It can also be entirely another reason as what you are saying doesn't fully depict that you may have found your mate. While most of facts are positive, we can't be a hundred percent sure. You also have to consider that this boy is human. So, we also don't know how he'll react if we were to tell this to him. He is quite young and may not handle this properly."
"Carlisle, How will I know if he's really my mate ?"
"You will know Jasper, you will feel it in you."
On his way to home Harry was passing through the forest. He knew he shouldn't go through an unknown forest, but it was the shortest route to the Dursleys. Also it wasn't like it could be more dangerous than the forbidden forest. So with that thought in mind, he went forward.
Nothing eventful happened in the forest, except if you call a chance encounter with a wolf uneventful. It was not even an encounter, more of a glance. Harry was going on his way when he heard growling. He quickly checked his wand holster, and was reassured by the familiar weight of his had a question though, was this a wild wolf ? It had to be as today was not a full moon and it wasn't even night yet. But the wolf suddenly stopped growling, sniffed for a second and went away. Now that was a weird behaviour. It was almost as if the wolf was just checking something.
At long last he reached the Dursleys and went in. It was still early, so it will just be Aunt Petunia that will be there at home.
He went upto the attic and started his letters to his friends.
Dear V,
I am safe and sound at my aunt's place. My uncle just got promoted. So we were all busy with this great news. I don't know if I'll be able to come to our annual meet this year at 1st September, I'll be too far away and it will be stressful to meet, given the conditions. Correspond with our mutual friend and pass on this message to Gamemaster. Tell him to be careful. Update me on any new happenings in your life.
Lots of love,
Evan.
He wrote one more similar letter to Neville and took it to Hedwig. He stoked her feathers affectionately and said,
"Hedwig, take these both to Neville please. He'll know what to do. Please be careful and do not hurry. Take plenty of rest in between."
Hedwig gave him an affronted look and ruffled her feathers. She cuffed him with her wings and took off for the journey.
He watched her till she was not visible. He only prayed that his first companion be safe from all harm.
So that's it for this chapter. Hope you like it.
