"The Alpha..he's, fuck the most stubborn person I've ever met in my life. He doesn't see passed his own point of view, most of the time I can honestly say he's in the right, sure. But not every time and the time he's not, it can really come back bite you." Aeron started off telling Harry, he admired The Alpha in so many ways, but in other ways, there as just things the Alpha should never do.
Leaning back against the chair, "The Alpha, I'm sure has a plan..but if I'm to take you on, in the end, I'm not going to start off this relationship..that is going to be a very major part of your life if you decide to be turned..as a lie. Because it is. The vow was not apart of the plan, at all. At least not the plan I knew, and since it sounds like we and the Alpha are the only ones who do know..I think it was a spur of the moment idea.." Aeron was rambling, nothing he made habit of. He was about to betray his mate's father, but if didn't do something, he wasn't going to have a mate any longer. Josh was never going to forgive him for killing his father, Harry needed to turn for the sake of everything..and he needed to stay here.
Josh was better at explaining this then he was, the Rebellion was his cause, but only because it was Josh's cause. Aeron wanted power, and being so close to the Rebellion leader, he had a lot of influence. So while he did support it for the power reasons, those reasons wouldn't feed to Harry's liking. "The Alpha thought you could use the extra help and family, and in return you would help us. I don't think the Alpha understands..that he is not the people person he thinks he is."
"That is a major understatement." Harry replied back finally when it seemed appropriate for him to talk again, he didn't know what Aeron was going to tell him really that he couldn't figure out on his own or that he needed to be pulled aside for, but he couldn't really object..and more information was not really something he should stop. "So..this relationship, you're meaning me and you."
"Eh..Yes. If I turn you, you're going to feel a pull towards me until you're on own. And that varies on the vampire. I didn't know about the pull until I was turned, and that was just a little over a year ago. It's more a gut feeling than anything, it's just something you feel you should be doing. I can't really explain it. But, more about that later. I actually need to explain some things to you. So, no more side tracking."
Harry nodded slowly, "Okay. What?"
"I bit you on purpose under the order of The Alpha so that you have to stay here, grow a liking to the base and it's people..and really in the long term become a supporter." Aeron said quickly and clearly, to sum all of the information in one go.
Scrunching his eyebrows in confusion, Harry blinked a few times looking at Aeron in a different manner. "You..Wait, you put my life on the line on purpose?!"
"Eh..no. I didn't think you wouldn't turn. I was actually hoping to turn you, then Josh walked in, and well shit kinda hit the fan at that point. I wanted to turn you and get you under the able protection from everyone, but that didn't go to plan. So it kinda got turned into, we need to convince you to turn..and you went in for the suicide mission. None of that was apart of my plan." The vampire didn't want Harry to think he was ready to kill him, that was not the case, while yes, he didn't really agree with Harry's involvement anymore, but he didn't want the boy dead. There really was no need for him to die..unless he didn't want to be turned, then Aeron would have little choice in killing the boy before he could tell anyone about The Alpha and the Rebellion.
Pursing his lips, the savior was obviously not pleased with the news, but he nodded. "I'd like to say I'm shocked, but I'm not. It seems like something-"
"Before you go off and curse everyone and their daughters, let me finish okay?" Aeron cut in, waving his hand to dismiss Harry's start to a rant.
Harry just waited and said nothing.
"Okay. So, we've been looking for the right person for a long time. You weren't the only one we looked into, but you were the finalist. We were looking into people who had been wronged by the ministry, the magical world, and mostly got the burnt end of the stick more times than not..but they needed to have influence."
"You wanted to pick someone you could use."
"And someone who would want to help. It needed to be a give and take, you can look at it from the bad view, where we were hunting down wizard we could manipulate...or you could look at it from the view that most of the creatures here have been used and thrown away more than any of those wizards..and they only want to help those who have been wronged too." Aeron circled back around.
"You don't really think you're helping do you?"
Aeron titled his head, thinking about how he wanted to answer that question. "I think we're only going to be able to help those who actually want to be helped. It's just like any other situation… We saw you. You were lonely, even living with your girlfriend. You were unrecognizable as a person, let alone the person who threw away their entire life to save the whole wizarding world. You didn't have a steady job, because you felt unsafe and unimportant everywhere you went. We wanted to give you everything, but it didn't turn out that way because of how we planned things.."
"You guys are not family material and I wouldn't have joined you even if you did turn me. I'd ruined this whole base if it was in my power." Harry resorted irritated that the vampire thought himself so easily fooled and naive.
Aeron shook his head, "No, you wouldn't. Let's just say..for example, I did turn you. Josh would have been the one to find us, he would have been scared..but he would have been scared for you. He'd already know I was safe because you'd have been under my pull, so you wouldn't be able to hurt me if I didn't allow it. So Josh would have made sure you were on the right grounds to hunt, The Alpha would have never even seen you until you were tame enough to be around others. You would have heard of him, but you wouldn't have been near him. I'd left with you every night, we'd go out..and we'd train your vampire, I'd teach you how to control your body and your hunger so you wouldn't hurt anyone. You'd wake up in the night and feel strong and refreshed." Aeron stopped, looking over Harry, waiting for him to process the information he was just given before he continued on speaking.
"On top of the all the training you'd get to control yourself, you'd get training to defend and attack. On top of the entire Rebellion one step behind you if you ever needed a helping hand in anything, ever. You'd have been a protege of the Rebellion, you'd be a vampire and learning from hundred of people. Everyone here, they are..like one giant family. Their kids are your kids, their brothers are your brothers..when you have kids, they'd never get a bloody knee without someone's mother grabbing them and patching it right up. Being a vampire..you'd have to adopt. I think. I actually don't know, if you had sex with a human girl...maybe she can have kids. Vampire women can't. So strange. I have no idea. I'll have to ask Shane." Aeron started to ramble to himself, thinking about the reproduction of vampires. He never really thought about it since he was with Josh, but Harry was a straight bloke, so Aeron would have to find out.
Merlin. Harry just stared, that was a lot of family, but he really didn't want kids. He had a godson, and that enough for him. He liked the thought of having older brothers and sisters, he like the feeling of that family. But he didn't want to be responsible for any more lives, "I wouldn't want to be..responsible for any more lives."
"That's optional. Shane, my sire, he's apart of the Rebellion. He'll come and fight whenever he is asked, but he doesn't live on the base. But if he ever showed up here and needed help, we'd help. Same for you, if you lived in Ireland..and you came here and said you needed a bloody babysitter, I got a trust fund saying you'd have at least 20 offers before you left the base again."
Harry looked unsure, but less angry about everything that was happening.
"If any of that didn't appeal to you, I know you were still looking for a job. Something a little more useful than Quidditch but not hunting dark wizards either..Mr. Rosenfelt is running for minister. I think he'll win, he wants to change a lot of things..to better this world. Him and the Alpha are done with wizards fighting each other, they think all wizards are equal in blood. But..he can't go up there and say that. I'm sure he'd love to help you get a teaching job at Hogwarts. I happen to think you'd make a wicked charms teacher...Didn't you defeat the dark lord with a disarming charm?" Aeron ended with, trying to ease Harry a little.
Shrugging, he didn't know what he wanted to be, he just knew he didn't want to be nothing..but he didn't want to be the main icon out there anymore either. He wanted to be someone, making an effect in the world, but he didn't want to be the only doing it. Charms Professor..didn't sound like a bad idea. Flitwick was getting old, Harry would enjoy teaching like he did for Dumbledore's Army.
"I'm not saying decide now if you want to be turned, or even that you need to be, but the Alpha has his...reasonings. Don't let him losing his temper a few times be the reason why you change your life...It's your life. If I turn you, I won't hurt you either. It's not the nature of the sire, I can't say I won't discipline you..because you would be a newborn vampire and therefore would be dangerous...but never in a way that you wish for death. The worst thing my sire did was..basically a grounding. I wasn't allowed out of my room for nearly two weeks, he gave me the animals on which I could feed from but otherwise, I wasn't allowed an inch of freedom. For what I did..I can't say it was unjust."
With a slow smile, Harry had to ask, "What did you do?"
Grinning, Aeron looked down at his feet, "I slept with Josh...In my sire's coffin. He's old fashion..and Josh is really persuasive."
