-THE THOUGHTS EDWARD HEARS-
MOVING TWILIGHT
Chapter Six
"I do believe that you have already been given ' the talk'." A silky voice interrupted Edwards thoughts and he turned to the figure in the doorway in shock. He hadn't heard him come up the stairs and he had been listening this time. The conversation had been over for a while and the families were just hanging around each other. He didn't really know how long he had been sitting, still as a statute, beside Harry's bed watching him sleep though with a quick glance out the window he estimated at least 4, maybe 5, hours.
Deciding to let that go, he nodded his head at the Eldest Black and turned his gaze quickly back towards his unconscious mate. Severus sighed behind him and Edward tensed as he heard the mans clothes rustle as if he was going to move. A quick glance and an unsuccessful attempt to hear the mans thoughts later a hand was places lightly on his shoulder.
"You must let go of him so that I may run a diagnostic spell."
Edward couldn't stop the growl from starting but broke it off when the hand on his shoulder tightened. "Sorry."
"Understandable." Edward moved out of the way and watched intently as the wand was moved up and down Harry's body.
"What does the Boy-Who-Lived mean?" Edward asked in a soft voice. He thought the man would answer him but all he got was a glare. When the wand waving was done Severus turned to look at him with a calculating gaze.
"Exactly as it sounds, Edward." Edward was proud of himself for not turning from Severus' searching look. "Harry is the Boy-Who-Lived. However, I will not be the one to tell you his story."
Edward frowned, "his story?"
"I am sure you heard the talk downstairs?" The older man waited for Edward to nod before continuing, "that was not all of Harry's story."
"Please," Edward begged not caring what he sounded like. "I need…want…to know."
Severus gazed at him intently for a very longtime. with a nod and a sigh he moved so that the vampire could sit back down by Harry's bedside as he took the chair from the desk and moved it closer. "You must understand Harry's past before you can understand why he is the way he is now…"
It had been late when the Cullen family left the Black residence so that the wizards could get some rest. Without having to say anything, they gathered at the dining room table for a family meeting, minus Edward, who had stayed close to his mate. Besides, this was a conversation he could not be involved in. They all knew he would stay with his mate, even if it meant he would have to leave his family if they didn't accept Harry. That was what they were here to discuss.
With a smile to his wife and each of his children Carlisle spoke first as he was the Head of the Coven. "We know why we are here." He waited until they all nodded before continuing. "I accept Harry and his family."
The words he used were outdated but a family tradition. When it came time for someone to enter their family it was done by voting. Though Carlisle was the Head of the Coven he would never force his beliefs on any of them. They were all adults and more than capable of making decisions for themselves. It had worked for many years and he knew it would work now. He had deliberately added 'and his family' because he knew Harry would never leave them. Even for his mate. Besides, they were wizards and more than able to look after themselves. As wizards the ban on knowing about them didn't count. The Volturi couldn't harm them, of course, they still may when they find out that the Cullen Coven was about to become bigger. Carlisle knew how much they feared him and his family's lifestyle. Hearing about what Harry and his family had just lived through he sincerely doubted threats from the Volturi would faze them one bit. As a husband and father he liked the fact of having these powerful beings as part of his family. The Black's would keep them safe just as they would do for them.
Esme kissed him on the check and turned to her children. No one was surprised by her answer. "I accept Harry and his family."
Next was Rosalie's turn as she was the next one to come to the family since Edward was not here and his vote wouldn't have counted anyway. Mates, that were already in the family, had no vote as it was assumed that they would vote in favor of their mate joining the family. She had not been allowed to vote for Emmett. Though it was because of him that they had started this tradition. The first time had been different, Emmett had been dying at the time and it had been rather hurried. Afterwards, they had all decided to continue doing it if the situation had ever come up again. This was the fourth time the family had voted.
The scowl on Rosalie's beautiful face was a common sight. So was the crossed arms and defensive body language. So was her tone of voice. "Why do we have to accept them all?"
Carlisle sighed, he knew this question would come up and he knew it would be Rose that would ask it, no, more like demand it. "You heard their story, Rose. Do you see Harry leaving them?"
"They're dangerous!" Rose said.
"Rose!" Esme was shocked.
Jasper flinched and sent out a wave of calm. He hated when Esme got so upset. They all did and they all did anything they could not to upset her. "I agree with Rose." Jasper had listened to the story of Harry's family. He could see the benefits and dangers of combining their families. If Rose hadn't said anything he would have.
"See!" Rose pointed to Jasper smugly.
"I also disagree with her." Jasper broke in before she could go off on a rage.
"What!"
Jasper sighed. He was thankful that the others had been quiet. He knew he was the one that struggled the most with this 'lifestyle' but his vampire life had not been easy and he was a hardened soldier. It was in his nature to be cautious. "They are dangerous. They, themselves, admitted it. But," he threw a look at Rose when she opened her mouth to interrupt him, "they would never hurt us."
"They won't." For once Alice's bubbly personality was reserved. She had seen many things since the first time she had her vision of Harry and Edward and though she wouldn't tell her family everything that she had seen she could tell them this. Of course, she wouldn't tell them everything she has seen. Rose would die of a coronary. She smiled brightly at her family. "We will all be happy."
Rose snorted but said nothing about that last statement. She didn't trust easily and though she loved her family they were sometimes too trusting. "And if this ends up like last time?"
Alice sighed and then shrugged. "It won't."
"But you can't promise that."
"No one can, Rose." Esme hugged her oldest daughter. She understood Rose more than the others, possibly even Emmett, she wasn't protesting to be difficult but out of fear.
After a few moments of tense silence Carlisle asked, "your vote, Rose?"
For a second it looked like she was going to refuse to answer. "Abstain."
Well, it was expected, she had voted that the last time. Carlisle sighed but nodded, it was her right. "Emmett?"
Emmett studied Rose as well. He knew what he was about to say would cause problems between him and his mate but he couldn't, in good conscience, vote any other way. "I accept Harry and his family." When Rose refused to look at him he knew the argument that would come was going to be harsh. She always was when he didn't agree with her.
Alice giggled and was restrained in her seat only by her husbands arm around her waist. "I accept Harry and his family."
Even though Jasper's vote wouldn't sway their decision, Edward had won after all, he still cast his vote, "I accept Harry and his family."
The second he was done speaking Rose stood and stomped from the room. Emmett sighed and followed after her. Alice dragged Jasper up to their room to do who knows what. And Carlisle and Esme went to his study and talked the rest of the night away. They were concerned for Edward and how he was dealing with all of this.
Edward could hear his and Harry's family downstairs getting to know each other better. He was surprised only a day had gone by since the two families had come together. He had stayed in Harry's room even after Severus had left. Never had he heard such things or known someone who had to do what Harry had done just to survive. He didn't feel as depressed as he had during the day but it was still weighing heavily on him. The constricting band across his chest that had been there since running from the store was tighter now.
Harry's emotions had almost made Edward comatose from the strength of them. The anger, fear, horror was completely debilitating and he could tell that Harry lived with this all day, everyday. All because of what he had been turned into by a world that now hated him.
Although their situations were not that similar Edward could sympathize with that - it had happened the same way with him too. How could his little mate take anything else without breaking? How could he subject his Adamo to anymore pain? To himself?
And with that two letter thought all the good that was done in the last day by being by his mates side started to seep away and in crept the delilitating thoughts of what he was and what pain he would bring to the center of his universe because of the monster inside him. All he could bring to Harry was pain and disappointment. It was better that he not do that. He could not hurt his mate, not after promising himself he wouldn't. He could just feel his body begin the wasting process again with just that one thought…it was better this way. The pain in his body was agonizing and he wished he was numb. This hurt!
Edward fell to his knees as a spasm of pain more terrible than anything he had ever felt before lanced through his body. He had never felt this crushing heaviness of his dead heart before. He grit his teeth to hold in an instinctual cry of pain. His head began to spin and his vision blurred. A vampire's vision never became blurry! It was impossible. He could see the figure on the bed stir but couldn't do anything about it. A sharp pain made him look at his chest to see who was ripping his heart out and he was surprised to see nothing there. He fought to breathe in unneeded air into lungs that seemed to be filled with sand. His whole body was shaking. There was a ringing in his ears. His body was locked into place, on his knees, fists clenched, head spinning, and eyes burning and just let the end come.
The ringing in his ears suddenly changed to a buzzing sound and his body was shaking so badly that he thought he was having a seizure, which he knew to be impossible. Edward bit down on his tongue and lip after unparticular powerful full-body jerk. He couldn't stop the grunt that came from behind his clenched teeth. His fists were clenched at his chest where his heart was and where most of the pain was centered.
He slumped over at the end of the bed. He didn't see or feel the blood and venom flowing from his mouth and eyes and dripping down his face to his chest and onto the floor. Venom that should not be outside his body unless he was biting something. An outsider would have thought he was crying but vampires did not cry. The sanies, or vampire venom, was flowing from his eyes just like human tears and from his mouth where he had bit his tongue almost in two. Seconds after his unconscious body hit the floor the door flew open, crashing into the wall.
The last thing that Edward saw was the blonde Seer staring at him in horror.
Edward believed that his mate would be better off without him and the vampire in him, knowing it had been time for a while, set in motion the self-destruction any vampire went through when a mate rejected them or died.
All this took about five seconds.
At the sixth second, Edward's body gave out.
Harry woke to pain he didn't remember a reason for but was somewhat familiar. He had woken countless times in pain and not remembered why so it wasn't that that was a problem. The problem was the KIND of pain. He knew of the physical pain, he did remember his own stupidity after all, but it was the pain he knew to be in his heart that he was questioning. Even when Sirius and Andromeda died he hadn't felt like this.
What had happened? Why did his heart literally burn?
He tried to move and quickly decided that was not a good idea when his whole body protested. His throat felt raw when he moaned and he was very thirsty. Medicinal potions always left a horrible taste in his mouth. He heard movement to his right but knew better than to move to look. Severus came into his line of sight and Harry couldn't help but sigh, which hurt!, at the look on his face. The older man said nothing, it was a familiar situation for the both of them. He kept quiet as Severus ran his wand up and down his body. He was concerned with the hesitation he saw in his Medi-Wizard. Once the scan was complete Severus reached for a glass of water at his bedside and Harry drank it with a grateful look.
Once his throat didn't feel as if a herd of hippogriffs had taken residence there, he managed a croaked, "-appen?"
Once again Severus hesitated, but this time it was more pronounced and Harry wasn't inclined to let it go. He begged him with his eyes, which were now clouded with tears he couldn't find a reason for. Harry could not describe what he was feeling right now. He was anxious, more so than usual, and he didn't know why. He heard a sound from the door and saw an unfamiliar female standing there. She was beautiful and he instantly knew she was a vampire. He knew her being here should be a concern but he couldn't help but feel it was not a priority.
He briefly wondered if she knew the one his family thought was his mate but quickly dismissed that thought as not important right now. The feeling of anxiousness increased and he couldn't stop his heartbeat from becoming rapid and his breathing to catch. He could feel tears that had been pooling in his eyes threaten to fall. The thoughts and feelings racing through him felt scary and…foreign. The way his mind was jumping from one thought to another didn't help his disorientation either.
"What's going on?" Harry whispered.
Severus turned to the woman and motioned for her to come closer. "This is Esme Cullen, she is Edward's mother."
Harry turned to look at his fathering confusion, "Edward?"
"Your mate."
Harry blushed, "ah."
Severus wisely said nothing about the blush reddening on his son's cheeks. "She will be sitting with you for a while."
Harry shook his head no. This was wrong. He knew it was but didn't know how or why. He could tell something was up that they didn't want to tell him. "No."
"Harry," Esme's voice was lovely and at any other time Harry would have been comforted by it. But not this time.
Harry turned to glare at her, knowing he would apologize later but not able to stop it now. His voice on the word was sharper than the last time. "No."
Severus sighed at the stubborn look on Harry's face. He had kept his own fear from his expression and maybe that had been the wrong thing to do. Harry would cooperate more freely if he hadn't, he knew. "It's okay Esme, he won't let it go until he is told. I told you all that."
"I don't think Edwar-"
"And…" Harry's voice was cold when he interrupted her but he didn't care. "I don't care…what Edward will think." He turned back to Severus, "Dad, please."
Severus reached to wipe Harry's tears away. "Carlisle is working on him."
"Is he hurt?" Harry's voice was now small and scared. It showed on his face as well.
Esme sat next to him after a brief look between the older man and herself that Harry couldn't understand, "not physically."
"Please." Harry pleaded. When she took Harry's shaking hand in her cold one he let her knowing she needed this small connection with Edward through him.
Esme loved this young man just on the small fact that he might make Edward happy. Her non-beating heart went out to the young man before her. The family had talked for a long time when they had went home last night. Rose and Jasper were reluctant to get to close to their brother's mates family but Alice and Emmett had no problem with it. She knew her children would come to love the others as she already did and it would be soon or she didn't know her children as well as she thought she did. Everyone was concerned for what this meant for them, Rose and Jasper just seemed to be the most vocal about it. Pushing those thoughts aside she tried to explain what might have happened.
Her voice was soft and filled with concern and fear for her son, Harry knew she would be crying if she could. "When a vampire meets their mate, certain changes occur to us. When you and Edward met at the store…" She stopped to control herself.
"What do you remember about that?" Harry blushed at Severus' direct question.
"I felt him try to enter my mind and enforced my shields. But then…"
"Yes, Harry?" Severus pushed when it was apparent he wasn't going to continue.
He could feel his face blush even more but managed to keep embarrassment from his tone. "It felt like he was 'pulling' instead of 'pushing' against my mind. But…" The two adults were quiet as they were not wanting to push him to talk faster. It was clear he was trying to put what had happened into words that made sense. And since he was the only one able to talk about what had happened they had to wait on him. "We connected Severus. I have never felt anything like that before."
"Edward can read minds." Esme said softly. "He said he had never done that before but that he knew what to do."
Severus scowled but nodded just the same. "When your minds connected you both recognized each other as mates. What happened then?"
"He ran." Harry whispered, the tears now slowly falling to his cheeks were ignored. He now realized just how serious this could be.
"Edward had started to give up." Esme smiled at Harry and squeezed his hand again, "and then he met you."
Harry flinched and pulled his hand back from her. He ignored her hurt look as anger flared in him. He managed to gulp in a breath of air to stop himself from sobbing. "He felt me and that made him run? Great. Stupid vampire."
Severus sneered at him like old times, "Harry, you don't understand -"
Harry raised an eyebrow mockingly, "I do Severus. He read my mind and ran. Which just goes to show what I have been saying all along. You should have just let the Death Eaters finish me off." He knew he was being harsh but he couldn't help it. Why the fuck had they even saved him?
Esme gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. Her wide, horror filled eyes, shining with unshed tears.
"How dare you!" Luna snarled from the doorway.
Harry turned to see his family standing there, faces reflecting their horror and tears on all of their faces. Harry honestly didn't care. The one person that was suppose to love him unconditionally had run from him and by the way he felt now he knew something else had happened besides Edward running from him at the store. Unfortunately, his mind was only able to stay with one thought. He was alone. Again.
"I dare because can feel it, Luna." Harry was screaming by the end of it. "Do you understand that? I can still feel it!"
Harry broke down completely. He couldn't stop crying long enough to take in enough air so he was gasping and sobbing at the same time. He ignored the pain in his body and curled up into a ball. "Get out!" He tried to scream but it wasn't heard.
"Harry-" Blaise tried to say something but Harry couldn't stand it anymore. Why did they not understand?
"Get OUT!" He screamed. "Leave!" He put his hands over his ears so that he couldn't hear anything else and started rocking back and forth.
Severus ushered everyone out of the room but Esme. He knew she wouldn't bother Harry and though every instinct he had was screaming at him to protect his son there was nothing anyone of them could do to help him right now. Well, none of them but Edward and he wasn't available. Severus knew Esme wouldn't bother him and someone needed to stay with him incase he did another stupid thing. Though Severus knew Harry was too week magically to get out of the bed, it never stopped the stupid ex-Gryffindor before and he doubted it would now.
However, his family was not who Harry needed right now. They had all hoped that the compassionate vampire would be able to help where they had failed. But that would be impossible if they were both dead. Which was a likely outcome if something didn't change and soon. Leaving him alone was not something they were comfortable with but they had been reassured by both Luna and Alice that this was the best thing to do. Esme could answer questions about Edward and Harry would listen to the kind and caring vampire more than anyone else, besides Edward but he was not available for conversation. None of them knew what had happened in that room from the time that Blaise and Teddy left to when Luna arrived.
Carlisle and Alice were still trying to reach Edward. Severus had tried as well but he had been unable to enter his mind.
"Oh my God!" Luna suddenly cried out as she stumbled into the wall and knocked a picture to the floor. "Severus! Oh, Merlin!"
Before anyone could say anything Kreacher popped in fixed the broken painting and popped out. Even his popping noise was silent. He'd taken a curse for Harry at the last attack and though he recovered faster than his master did he now made no sound at all. What was even weirder was that when he did anything, such as popping or cleaning, there was no sound either. Kreacher stayed to himself unless called by Harry as he was ashamed he had not been able to protect his master and his master's godson. And though he was a crazy house elf he was more loyal to Harry Potter than Dobby had ever been and that was saying something.
Draco grabbed his sister into a tight hug mostly to make sure she wouldn't fall to the floor. "What is it?"
Luna was crying even harder now. "They're linked." She whispered as she grabbed for his hand to make sure Severus understood. "They're still linked!"
Severus' eyes went wide before he ran down the hall to where they had put Edward, he was met at the door by the elder vampire carrying his comatose son.
"We have to get him in there." Severus explained quickly.
Carlisle nodded but didn't let Edward go. "I heard and Alice explained."
They walked back down the hall to Harry's room as quickly as they could. They could hear Harry sobbing before they had gotten half way down the hall. Instinctually Edward tried to get to his mate but was unable to get out of his father's arms.
Carlisle was glad to see a little life come back to his son's eyes. The dead golden eyes that been staring at the wall he hoped to never see again. He gripped Edward tighter as his struggles grew stronger. "Stop Edward, I am taking you to Harry." He could feel the shudder go through Edward's lean frame and kept up his mental and vocal reassurances.
They passed the doorway into Harry's room and the crying from both human and vampire noticeably slowed. Edward was finally able to get out of his fathers arms and he took a step towards Harry. When he faltered Emmett tried to help him but was stopped, surprisingly, by his mate.
"Let him do this himself." Rosalie said.
The others nodded in agreement as they all moved as far away as they could. Teddy was standing in his crib watching everything with wide golden-toned eyes. He was quietly chanting Harry's name and every few times he would add Edward's. no one knew what it meant but they had tried to quiet him but he was stubborn.
As Edward struggled to make it to the bed, and Harry, their crying finally stopped. Harry was still facing the wall too tired to turn over, he did whisper Edward's name so quietly that only the vampires heard him.
They all gasped as Edward stumbled and fell to his knees. "Harry." He choked out.
The fear in his voice everyone could hear. Harry grunted and slowly lifted his hand upwards. The wizards could feel the magic gather in the air and knew what Harry was about to do.
"Steady Edward." Alice whispered as she smiled and jumped up and down from where she was standing. She was going to get to see mates coming together! And for real and not in a vision. She was finally going to see her brother get his mate.
Edwards eyes went wide as he slowly raised into the air. As the mates drew closer together you could see the strength come back to each of them. Just before Edward was about to land on the bed with Harry he turned on to his back. Wet green eyes met wet topaz as Edward gently landed on top of his mate.
Luna and Alice ushered everyone out of the room and down to the Living room ready to answer the multitude of questions they would have. With a mischievous look between the two Seer's, Alice closed the door and Luna locked it with a spell of her own making.
The two needed to talk and they were going to give them the time and space they needed.

This is something so outside my norm that I do not know how it will go. However, I will give it my best and hope that ya'll love it. I hope that everyone enjoys what has crept into my admittedly weird mind. There is a recurring element in all the Twilight/Harry Potter cross-overs. The meet and greet. The blood lust. The accident. Now how do I make that my own? It will be hard, just like writing anything is, but I hope I am up to the challenge. This is my version, please, let me know what you think.
Sorry…my mother is back in the hospital and I have been there for the last 3 days. I know this is rushed and I apologize in advance. She's in ICU now…an infection has swept through her body and she is too weak to fight it off. Thanks to everyone that was concerned.
As always…
ENJOY!
