Little Wizard

Chapter Five "Magic is might."
"Tell me... Have you ever heard of magic?" Remus began, looking at each of the eight people in front of him. One a werewolf, that could change whenever he so wished to, and the rest were vampires. Were they muggle kind or magical? Obviously Jacob Black was muggle kind. So... that left the Cullens to be muggle then, if they hadn't known what Harry was. Muggle Vampires? Interesting...
"That's fairy tales though..." Bella said in confusion.
"Yeah and so are Vampires and Werewolves," Edward snorted. Bella pouted at her husband. Carlisle looked thoughtful and turned to Remus.
"He's a wizard? As in magical man?" Carlisle asked curiously. Remus nodded.
"Harry's last name is Potter, making him the most famous Wizarding Child in the world yet muggles do not know who he is." Remus explained.
"Muggles?" Alice asked, inclining her head.
"Non-magical folk." Remus elaborated with a grin.
"So Harry's magical and not just that, he's a famous wizard in the Wizarding World." Esme stated. Remus laughed.
"You certainly picked a rather interesting child up. How did you manage to get Harry away from his relatives?" Remus had to ask.
"Harry was in the woods near our house in America. His relatives had dropped him off in a deserted area and he had been walking since then." Alice said, feeling almost sick when she remembered what her adopted son had told them, and the gruesome walk until they had found him.
"They abused him horribly and we still don't know the full extent of his injuries considering his magic has probably been healing or hiding them." Edward admitted, the mind reader having picked up on small incidents that Harry had allowed himself to think about. Bella and the others caught the we in the sentence and there was silence, disbelief that it could have possibly been worse. Remus cleared his throat. Jasper could feel the hidden rage that was fueling his own
"Yes well... first off, Harry is my nephew. Not by blood but..." Remus trailed off, unsure of how to say it. Luckily, Esme knew what he was trying to say and helped him out.
"A surrogate uncle," Esme supplied. Remus smiled at her, nodding in agreement.
"So about magic..." Jacob Black said with a grin. Remus quirked an eyebrow suddenly.
"Jacob, what is your last name per say?" He asked wryly.
"Jacob Black, why?" Jacob asked, confused. Remus' face dropped and he sighed, cursing himself.
"What's wrong Remus?" Alice asked.
"Could be a coincidence but, I have... had a friend named Sirius Black -"
"He's innocent." Edward said at once. Remus' eyes shot upwards to look at the teenage-immortal.
"Harry remembers you two, and he remembers a specific conversation the night he got his scar. Something about his mother wondering if 'Padfoot' was going to get blamed should they die. It was an out of the blue conversation and his father commented on Peter Pettigrew being their 'Secret Keeper'... whatever that means." Edward explained. Remus' eyes widened even more so and he dropped his head in his hands, feeling this moment take its toll on him at last. It couldn't be true! Black had been the betrayer! No! No!
But, Harry's memory could be no lie, for he probably did not even know who these people were. Remus felt like whimpering, weeping, and simply walloping in self-hate.
"Easy on the emotions Remus," Jasper said with wide eyes, feeling the hatred and regret nearly overwhelming him.
"You can sense my emotions?" Remus asked warily. Jasper nodded back just as on guard as he.
"Each Vampire has a power," Carlisle explained and Remus' eyes shot up, causing them to grin at having caught the Wizard in surprise. Powers? This made Remus entirely interested in their conversation and Carlisle chuckled at the excited bookworm.
"Edward can read minds -"
"-Though I can not read yours oddly enough, nor my love Bella's though that is because her power is a shield." Edward said with a puzzled tone laced in frustration at this mystery. Remus smirked at that explanation.
"Let's just say, it's a wizard thing." Remus chuckled. Edward groaned at the thought of not hearing Harry's thoughts either and Alice easily changed back to the original topic from a nightmare that Edward was not looking forward to. He wondered if he could keep Harry from ever learning how to block him out...
"I can see the Future, Carlisle is nearly immune to human blood and is a human doctor, Emmett has a massive strength, Rosalie has unnatural beauty, Jasper can change and feel emotions, and Esme has natural motherly instincts." Alice chirped. Remus stared at them before deciding to shake his head. It was all so much to take in at once. Harry wasn't with the Dursleys anymore, he had been abused, he had been taken in by Vampires. There was a muggle werewolf near him. They all had powers and he found Edward's the most ironic for it was just like Legimency. Alice was a seer and Jasper was an empath. He almost felt sorry for when Harry was older, not privacy whatsoever especially with vampires who don't sleep at all.
He looked for a subject to distract his throughts and he remembered the earlier discussion. He couldn't be... could he? If he was, Remus thought he was going to be sick! One of his best friends from Hogwarts.
"So you mentioned Sirius is innocent?" Remus asked with dread and hope.
Author's Note: Sorry that this is so short, I was getting distracted again. I decided to run for a class officer position and occupied more time AND I'm gonna be doing some of my teacher's websites for them. A new Harry Potter x Lord of the Ring story is up on my profile and I'll be also working on that and Matchmaking Agent. Expect more fun to come.
