-THE THOUGHTS EDWARD HEARS-

MOVING TWILIGHT

Chapter Ten

Severus let Edward think for a few moments before he continued speaking as he didn't want to interrupt but knew further clarification was going to be key if they didn't want to face misunderstandings later down the road. And as Harry's father he refused to let that happen especially when he had the power to 'smooth the waters' for them now while it would do the most good for them both. "Edward," he said slowly, "because of Harry's power his aging is practically non-existent."

Edward could only look at him weirdly, "like us?"

Severus shook his head and knew he would have to go into more detail if he wanted the Vampire to really understand what he was trying to tell him without outright telling him. He hoped Harry would not be upset but Severus knew if he'd let Edward see his memories then Severus was pretty sure he wanted him to know everything, well, everything Severus could tell him that is. "Harry is powerful..." he continued when Edward continued to look at him weirdly, "he told you he had thought he would always be alone?"

Still Edward just looked at him and didn't seem to catch on.

"The amount of power that he possesses will grant him a long life...a very long life." Severus paused before he said pointedly, "Longer than even your kind Edward."

Edward's eyes widened and Severus was finally glad that he had caught on. Vampires were among the longest non-living creatures. "How long?" He whispered.

"It is unknown." Severus paused before he stood and motioned the now dazed man to follow him.

Edward stood in silence and followed him blindly, his mind racing and not really paying much attention to where they were going until they stopped at a portrait hanging over the huge fireplace in the library.

"You have heard of the Legend of Merlin, yes?"

Edward nodded.

"Who is that man there?"

Edward looked at the picture he had seen every time he had come in this room and plenty of times in Harry's memories and then turned to look at Severus in confusion. He was a very intelligent person but he had no clue what the other man was getting at. Severus said nothing just stood there with an expectant look on his face and his mind was curiously blank. He knew that right there made whatever Severus was trying to tell him very, very important. Edward sighed, for what seemed the thousandth time that night, and turned to look back at the portrait. He had seen it many times in the last few days and though he knew that the portrait could speak, which was mind-blowing to him and one of the things he loved most about the Wizarding World, he had yet to hear the man standing there speak outside of the others memories. He studied the man intently and what he saw gave him no answers whatsoever. He saw a man, 20-25 years old, dressed very old-fashionably with long dark hair, bright green eyes that shown with intelligence, and a small barely distinguishable smile on the young looking face. He was standing in front of gates to a castle that he'd assumed was Hogwarts, the school Harry and his friends had attended. As he stared at the picture other details became clearer but still nothing to point too what Severus wanted him to figure out.

Edward had thought it was a picture of Harry or maybe his Father but now... "I'll go out on a limb and say that even though this looks like Harry, it isn't him."

When Severus still said nothing he continued trying to talk it out. He knew the way Severus was acting that Edward knew the answer to the question already he just had to add the pieces all together himself.

"Is it that Riddle person?"

Silence.

"The Founder of your House, Slytherin?"

Silence.

Edward desperately ran through everything he could remember from Harry's memories to their conversation together and with the other member's of both their families until it was like a light bulb went off in his head. "Dear God Severus! Are you saying this is Merlin?"

Severus turned and sat on the couch by the fire, "yes, it is."

Edward sat down in stunned silence and awe as he whispered, "but Merlin was an old man."

"Your version of him, yes."

"My version?"

"The non-magical version."

Edward opened his mouth to speak, couldn't think of anything to say that didn't sound stupid even to him, and snapped his mouth shut all while looking to the picture and back to Severus a few times, "are you saying that Harry is Merlin?"

Severus laughed, "gracious no!"

Edward laughed as well and his shoulders slumped in unconcealed relief, "of course not."

"Merlin was Harry's Father."

"Oh, well tha - WHAT!" Edward literally choked on his shock. He ran Harry's memories through his head again and again until they flowed like a movie in his minds eye. He could clearly recall Harry's memories of his father and he didn't see what connection that Severus was obviously trying to get him to see. There was... oh. "Why?"

"Appearances, of course. No one would have thought him as wise as they did if he had looked like that." Severus pointed at the portrait that just lifted an eyebrow as an answer with that same barely there smile as always.

Edward slowly shook his head in understanding. "How...how old is Harry?"

Severus studied him before answering seriously but his tone was heavily laced with amusement, "he is seventeen."

"How...how long has he been seventeen?" Edward would deny to the day he died that his voice squeaked on the last word.

Severus snorted but answered the question with but a small smile on his face, "since the day he was born." Severus laughed when Edward just sent him a glare, "Harry is seventeen, he was born seventeen years ago, and as far as we can tell his aging will continue on in a steady manner for a few more years." He indicated the portrait, "possibly the same age as his father but we just aren't sure as it depends on power level and Harry will be more powerful than his father, Merlin, was by the time his magical growth is over. This we know to be fact."

"How long will he look seventeen?"

"If you are asking if he will age the answer is yes, but, it will be barely perceptible, even to you, for a very long time."

"Not taller?" Severus quirked an eyebrow at him and if Edward could have blushed he would have. "Its just...I like him as he is."

Severus smirked, "good thing, that."

Edward was surprised to feel comfortable enough around the man to smirk back but didn't say anything else about his mates height, or lack of it. "If his father was - how did he die?"

Severus' voice was soft, tinged with regret and unconsciously letting his sadness show, "Lily was his mate." He may not have known all of this before James Potter's death and granted he hadn't liked him even before that but Lily... well Lily was a different story and one he wasn't going to share with Edward even though he was positive that the young man was going to be a part of his Family from now on.

Though Edward couldn't hear his thoughts he could hear the sadness in his voice and some of the actions he had seen in Harry's memories and even in the last few hours, now made sense. Not wanting to bring those memories back for him more than this conversation already did so asked his next question, "Severus," he hesitated but knew he had to ask, "how powerful is Harry exactly?"

"Exactly?"

Edward nodded and Severus sighed and after a few thoughtful moments he shook his head. This was not how he wanted the conversation to go and he didn't want Harry mad at him if he told Edward to much too soon. "That's not how Harry is, Edward," Severus hit him with his most impressive teachers glare that had reduced many a student over the years to blubbering, bumbling, stumbling dunderheads, "I'll make a deal with you...treat him as Harry, just Harry, and I might tell you more. One day. Right now he just needs you to love him."

"I do love him, Severus, I just don't want this to come between us later."

"It won't if you don't let it. It doesn't matter how powerful he is or is not. He is your mate and right now that is all that matters to him."

They sat in silence as Edward thought about what he had just heard. Deep down he knew Severus was right and he also knew that after this he didn't care if he never found out that answer. But, there was one last question he needed answered tonight. "How did he get so weak?"

Thankfully Severus was an intelligent man himself and had no problem following where Edward wanted the conversation to go. He did send a thankful glance before answering, "he is still human, Edward, and he is still susceptible to injury and sickness. Since his power was so low already he couldn't heal himself and after the physical injuries from the fall and from the earlier battle that he had not fully recovered from yet, his magic put him in a magical stasis."

"So in the store...that moment our minds linked, it hurt him?"

"Not physically."

"But it did mentally," Edward interrupted as he stood and began to pace angrily.

Severus watched him for a few minutes intrigued by the implications of Edwards agitation. Were they already so deeply linked? he thought. "His magic recognized you," he paused here as a thought occurred to him, "do Vampires have mates?"

"We call them Chosen."

"So you understand the concept of 'instant connection'?"

"Every race calls it something else but that is what Wizards call it."

"So this 'instant connection' is what happened between Harry and I?"

"Yes."

"And in the room, when he was screaming about still feeling it? He literally meant he could still feel the connection between us?"

"Yes."

"I've never heard of that before with Vampires, is that a Wizard thing?"

"Not exactly. We Wizards can live without our mates but we will feel like there is always something missing in ours lives. We won't be entirely happy but it doesn't kill us and we can find things that will replace what we have lost."

"And Harry? Why did it hit him so hard?"

"Things are different for him. Not only were you not healthy, he wasn't healthy. The loop that created, added to his magical exhaustion, there was no way for him to cope."

"It could have turned out much worse than this."

"You know, this sounds like the wolves' imprint."

"Wolves?"

"Oh," Edward answered absentmindedly, "the shape-shifters on the Quiluete Reservation. We have a treaty with them."

Severus was quiet for a while as Edward paced in thought. "It might be best for you to introduce us. I would hate for one of us to be in Animagus form and attacked."

"I am sure Carlisle can arrange that."

"What is wrong?" Severus had been watching as Edward seemed to get more agitated by the minute.

"I don't know... I feel..." The next second his eyes widened and then his head shot up to stare at the ceiling for a second. "I think you might want to check on Blaise. Neville is worried..."

Severus nodded and stood but before leaving the library he settled a hand on Edward's shoulder. "What I wanted you to take from this is the understanding that Harry only wants to be treated as you would anyone else. Yes, he is powerful but he is still Harry, a 17 year old orphan who just wants to belong." Severus left Edward to his thinking, hoping that he understood what he had been told.

Edward didn't know how long had passed before he heard his name. He glanced around surprised to be alone and then was upstairs within seconds. He smiled at Harry as he walked to his side, "hey."

"Morning." Harry murmured sleepily.

"Night." Edward corrected as he leaned over and kissed Harry on the forehead.

"Oh."

Edward helped him to sit up and when he was comfortable asked, "how do you feel?"

Harry's answer was interrupted by Severus' arrival. "Fine."

"No time for lying, Harry." Severus voice was firm.

Harry sighed and raised a weak hand and ran it through his already messy hair. "OK so I feel like shit. I'll be fine."

"What's wrong?" Edward was frantic something was wrong.

Harry smiled briefly, but sweetly, at him. "Nothing that rest won't cure, I'm fine, really."

Edward studied him for a few seconds before turning to Severus and whispered, "check him."

Both men ignored Harry's protests as Edward checked him over with his Vampire senses and Severus with his wand. Harry huffed and crossed his arms but said nothing. Edward thought it was cute and the pout on those lips made him think of thoughts best not thought when in the company of your significant others parent. Especially a parent that could do as much damage to even him as this one could.

Severus pulled two vials from the black bag he carried everywhere and handed them to Harry. He drank them with only a scowl to show his displeasure.

"Too bad. Your levels are still too low."

Harry tried to pout even harder but it didn't faze the older man. Edward, however, was a different story. He had to push down the surge of lust and chant to himself 'later' before he did something he shouldn't.

"Let's get you comfortable." Edward was proud of himself that his voice didn't betray what he was thinking. He turned to Severus with an instinctual snarl when Harry was hit with a yellow light out of nowhere.

-CLEANING CHARM. HE HAD A SLIGHT FEVER AND HAD SWEAT JUST A LITTLE BIT-

Edward was mortified but at the calm expression on the other man's face and no hint of derision in his mental voice he just nodded his head once for his reply and moved to help Harry get more comfortable and then settled by him on the bed.

"Thank you." He whispered as the older man left.

-YOUR WELCOME, EDWARD. KEEP HIM SAFE-

"Always."

The next morning the Wizards woke up to a kitchen full of food. Apparently Esme couldn't pass up the chance at cooking for all those hungry people, especially Edward's new mates family. Halfway through the meal Edward walked in carrying Harry, who's face was bright red. His family took in his still wet hair and clean jeans and t-shirt but wisely said nothing. The smile on Edwards face and the glint in Harry's eye might have had something to do with it as well as it was a familiar look for the teen when he was daring someone to say something. They had all been on the other side of his famous flashes of temper and didn't know what would happen with an over-protective Vampire mate added into the mix.

Edward sat down in a chair and settled Harry gently in his lap. Harry face was even redder and he opened his mouth to protest but a quick kiss to his cheek had him snapping his mouth shut and reaching for a plate without a sound of protest. Neither family said anything but Edward heard their thoughts and could only grin at them. Esme set a cup of tea by Harry's plate and kissed them both on the top of their heads.

"Thanks for this Mrs. Cullen." Harry said as he filled his plate.

"Esme dear and no thanks are necessary, it was my pleasure."

"Still-" Edward whispered in Harry's ear, "leave it, Adamo." Harry nodded and started to eat.

"Not to much Harry." Severus said quietly just loud enough for Harry and Edward to hear. "You don't want to get sick later."

Harry nodded and slowed down even though he was so hungry. He knew his appetite had been low for a while but he felt like eating today.

"So, what are the plans for today?" Ron asked between mouthfuls.

Everyone turned to Luna, "why are you looking at me?"

Draco snorted into his teacup, "because you always tell us what we are doing for the day. You have them well-trained, dear Sister."

Luna glared at him. "Well I," she emphasized, "have plans with Alice. I don't care what you guys do today."

Everyone laughed at them and the Cullens, Edward, Esme and Alice, figured it was a familiar routine for them. "What are you and Alice doing?" Edward asked as he poured a refill to Harry's tea.

"We are going shopping." She turned to Hermione, "would you like to come?"

Hermione turned to Ron who shrugged, "I have work in an hour so its fine with me."

"I'd love to go too." No one said a word when Edward protested by tightening his arms around Harry. Harry wasn't going anywhere but back to bed.

"No, you are still too weak." Severus spoke before Edward could and he was glad of it. He didn't want to seem too controlling, one mate telling him that was enough he wouldn't survive if Harry thought the same.

"But-"

"No." Edward and Severus spoke at the same time in the same tone.

Harry huffed and crossed his arms. It might have worked if he hadn't been sitting in Edwards lap and it didn't look like he was a child about to have a tantrum. He tried to pout but was interrupted by a yawn. Luckily for everyone no one said anything. Edward tried very hard not to listen to anyone's mind right then. He had noticed that the Wizards minds were fuzzy to him and were only completely clear when he concentrated. Besides, he could tell just by their faces that they were amused and trying very hard to not let the most powerful Wizard at the table know they were laughing at him. Smart of them.

-YOUR FATHER WILL BE HERE IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO CHECK HARRY AND SEVERUS OVER-

He nodded to his mother as she happily went about the kitchen. He could tell how happy she was for them as she was practically glowing.

Hearing a faint cry from upstairs, Esme left and was back a few minutes later with a fussy baby. "Where are his things, he needs changing?"

Hermione stood, "I'll show you, ma'am."

"Please call me Esme."

Hermione turned to look at Harry briefly and smiled when he nodded his head. Edward filed that action for later conversation.

"Jasper and Emmett will be here soon to take you hunting." Luna said softly.

"I'm fine." Edward tried to say but was interrupted when Harry turned his head slowly to look at him. His mate didn't say anything he just looked at him and it took all of Edward's strength not to back down. He could see, in that moment, how Severus could follow him with no problems. "Really, I am."

Harry's look grew sharper for just a second before he nodded, "take me upstairs?"

"Of course." Edward gave a brief nod to everyone but didn't speak as he lifted Harry gently and walked with him upstairs to lay him on the now made bed. Severus walked in with Carlisle a few minutes later and Edward stood leaning against the wall on the far side of the room as they checked Harry over. After a few minutes of checking him over and quiet conversation between the two fathers, which Edward could hear but Harry couldn't, the older men left. Before Severus left he handed a vial to Edward that was half-filled with a familiar shimmering blue liquid. Over Harry's protest Edward agreed to give it to Harry at the first sign of him being tired.

"Hush you," Edward said as he tucked a blanket gently around Harry.

"Edward, I don't want to stay in bed all day." Harry protested with a cute pout.

"You won't. Just for a little while and then I will take you downstairs and you can spend a few hours in the library with your family."

"Are you leaving?" Harry was concerned and a bit panicky, "you said you weren't hungry."

"I'm fine, I was going to go home and change clothes."

Harry blushed, "oh."

Edward chuckled and kissed Harry on the forehead, "I'll be back in 15 minutes, I promise."

Harry reached up and touched his check gently, "go, hunt if you need it."

Edward didn't want to be gone from his mates side long enough to hunt but knew he was right. He sighed but nodded, "I will. Would you like me to get you a book?"

"The one on my desk, please." Edward looked at the book and was surprised to see and advanced mathematics book.

He raised an eyebrow at Harry in question but he just shrugged back at him, "I'm good at it."

He handed the book to Harry and gave him another kiss on the fore head and a breif brush across his lips and left with a quiet "be safe" following him.

AUTHOR NOTE

~*~*~*~*~*~- - - - PLEASE READ! THIS IS A REPOST OF ALL CHAPTERS AS I FOUND A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEM. SOME WERE MISSING! I ASK EVERYONE TO BE PATIENT AS I ATTEPMT TO FIX THIS. ~*~*~*~*~*~- - - -

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.

So, I could get a big-ass idea and change everything and then the bubble could burst and then change nothing. Remember this note from up top? Keep it in mind for the next few chapters. Having something written out is far different than having something posted. Any self-proclaimed author will tell you that. I do not know what some do but I have a very bad habit of talking out certain scenes because if it doesn't sound right it will not read right…in my opinion anyway.

I have tried multiple times to replace the previous chapters with ones with the correct breaks and separations but am having little to no success. Is it just me or is this is a problem for everyone?

I apologize for the lengthy time between updates. The reason for the long delay, in not only this story but all of them, is simple…joy. My daughter is on the mend ya'll. Hurdles have been jumped, tests conquered, and strength revived. Hallelujah!

Also, no internet access right now so that is why this one is so late.

As always…

ENJOY!
