I don't own Harry Potter or Twilight!
"How are you feeling?" Harry's dad's face was hovering above him the moment he opened his eyes, already checking him over for any damage he may have missed the last couple hundred times he'd looked him over since he'd fallen asleep.
"I'm fine dad, but what happened?" Harry asked as he pushed himself up so that he was sitting up, scooting forward so that his mother could sit down and he could lean back against her.
"It would seem Sam decided to take it upon himself to make sure your injury was acutally a cut and not a bite." He could tell that his dad was still furious about what happened, but the man's touch remained gentle as he looked over his arm to make sure everything was still in tact. "You busted a couple of stitches, but I replaced them while you were asleep."
"Thanks." Harry then looked around the room, wondering if his mother had come with his father, he thought he remembered her being there, but everything was fuzzy. "Just how long was I asleep?" He asked his mate when his eyes landed on him, "You were not that big when I fell asleep...I'm pretty sure you weren't that big." He trailed off, and frowned when he saw Jake was laughing at him.
"Jake challenged Sam as alpha when he pulled him off you, and beat him in a fight, so now Jake is pack alpha." Embry filled in when Jake seemed reluctant to, and Harry couldn't help but notice that he seemed uncomfortable. Jake had told him that things had been rough between him and Sam, as the older boy thought eventually Jake would usurp him as alpha. Jake had told him that he had no desire to be alpha, so Harry couldn't help but wonder how it one fight could have brought all this about.
He would have to wait to find out, because at that moment his mother and Angela walked into the room, his mother carrying a tray loaded with food. "I thought I heard you talking, how are you feeling?" His mother asked as she set the tray of food down on the table so she could fuss over him.
"I'm fine now, just hoping I didn't do anything too embarrassing." Harry sat up and leaned forward so his mother could settle in behind him, and leaned back against her. "I really don't remember much of what happened." That was usually the case when he had flashbacks of the abuse he'd suffered while living with the Dursleys. He wouldn't remember much leading up to or during the flashback. This is something his family was used to, but he was hoping it hadn't scared his new friends or mate away.
"Don't worry, you didn't do anything you need to be concerned about." Jake said with a smile on his face as he stood up and moved over to the couch Harry was sitting on, picking up his feet, and sitting down with Harry's feet in his lap. "Besides it's not your fault Sam decided to attack you." Jack looked at Harry sympathetically, and Harry knew he was thinking about what Harry had shared with him about his childhood.
"Well, your father and I are going to stay while you eat, and then leave you to enjoy your weekend on the reservation. Besides, your brothers and sisters have been texting and calling us every five minutes to see how you are doing. The last thing we need is them storming the reservation demanding to see you." Everyone laughed, but he and his parents knew there may have been some truth to that.

"What on earth is that?" Remus asked the next afternoon when they heard a loud rumbling outside the house. They had been spending a quiet afternoon watching movies, Embry and Angela sitting on one couch, while Sirius and Remus occupied the other one. Harry and Jake were laying on the floor, Jake on his back, with Harry using him as a pillow.
"I know what that is." Jake groaned as he sat up, just in time to hear a car door shut, and Bella's voice coming from outside the house.
"Jake? Jake are you here?" They had left the front door open, and apparently Bella thought that meant she had permission to walk right in. "What is he doing here?" She stared accusingly at Harry as she voiced her question. He didn't know what he'd done to incur the girl's dislike of him, and judging by the look on the girl's face he may have underestimated just how much she hated him.
"He happens to be my godson and was invited into my home." Sirius's voice was cold as he stood from the couch, "You however, I did not invite, and therefore am wondering why you are here."
"Um...I was...I stopped by your house to see if you wanted to hang out since Edward is out of town, and your dad said you were here." Bella turned her attention to Jake.
"I probably would have considered having you hang out with us had you waited to be invited in, and not treated Harry like that." Jake had a hard time hiding his surprise at the animosity someone he thought was his friend had for his mate. "What gives Bella, I thought you liked Harry." He was quiet for a moment before a look of realization crossed his face, "Were you the one who outed him at school?"
"It wasn't like they didn't suspect or anything..." She trailed off when an ominous growling came from the couch Sirius had been sitting on.
"Remus, will you come help me with something in the kitchen?" Harry grabbed the older man's hand, and gently started tugging on it.
"This bitch is the reason you were hurt?" He had to fight back a flinch, not wanting to have to call his parents to come back again. It didn't seem like that he had to worry though, as Remus's touch remained gentle.
"He's a vampire, like the rest of the Cullens, he can't be hurt." She scoffed as a gasp came from the other side of the room, drawing the everyone's attention to Angela. They hadn't told her what exactly the Cullens were.
"Damn it Bella." Jake practically spat at the girl, who was looking at Angela in confusion. "Angela..."
"I'll explain things do her, you deal with the rest of this." Embry offered as he Angela into the Kitchen.
Harry plopped down on the couch, wondering if his parents were ever going to let him out of their sight again after how much of a mess this weekend was turning out to be. "Sit down Bella." He jumped at the sudden sound of Jake's voice. He wasn't surprised when the girl sprang into action, doing exactly as Jake told her. "Bella, we have a treaty with Cullens not to tell what each of us are to outsiders. You don't know the trouble blurting that out could have caused?" Jake practically seethed, as he paced the room in anger.
"I didn't see her there ok, I mean it's rare I find someone not from the reservation in anyone's house here, how was I to know she'd be here." She quickly tried to defend herself.
"You should have looked around the room." Sirius joined in the tirade as Remus took a seat on the couch next to Harry, relaxing a bit when Harry snuggled into his side. "If Angela can't be trusted the Cullen's will have to move, is that what you want?" They knew they could trust Angela, and she was actually allowed to know what his family was, being Embry's imprint, but Bella didn't know that the boys on the reservation could change into giant wolves, and they weren't about to tell her.
"No, of course not." Bella looked ready to cry, "It was an honest mistake, I don't know why everyone is being so mean to me. Of course I don't want Edward to leave."
"But you could care less if the rest of the Cullens had to leave? It's the reason you didn't care what would happen to Harry if you let slip to the school that he was gay." Remus seethed, and they all knew it was the truth. It was clear by the look on her face, and not for the first time Harry wondered if the girl was ok mentally. It wasn't healthy to be that obsessed with someone, and he couldn't help but wonder if she was more of a danger to Edward than the family realized.
"I honestly didn't know he would, that he could get hurt." She tried to get the other's to understand, and Harry waited for them to cave and tell the girl that they understood, just as everyone, everyone but his family, had throughout his life.
"Common decency would have told you that it wasn't right to tell the school that he was gay." Sirius practically spat at the girl, "He has stitches running up his arm. He lives with vampires, do you not see how that could cause a problem?" It was then that her eyes drifted to his bandaged arm.
"I'm the only one in my family that isn't a vampire, it makes me that much more vulnerable if we were to be attacked, it makes them more vulnerable as they would be worrying about me." Harry tried to explain, not going into depth about what he was, or how that also made him one of the more dangerous family members.
"But what are you? I mean, I ask the family, but no one will tell me. Not even Edward." And that right there was the crux of her issues, Edward wouldn't bend to her whims, and she couldn't handle that.
"How do you know I'm not just a regular human being?" He asked in all seriousness, and she seemed to stop and think about this, but it was clear she didn't think it possible for him to be just a normal person. That didn't mean he would trust her with his secret.

"So...Vampires huh?" He and Angela were alone, Embry and Jake having gone on their patrols, and Sirius and Remus had locked themselves away in the study claiming an unexpected call from someone back home. Bella had stormed off when she realized that no one was going to give her the answers she wanted, but not before trying to flirt with Jake to get the answers from him.
"Yeah, but they don't drink human blood." He tried to reassure his friend, but she didn't look all that convinced. It probably didn't help that the pack didn't really trust his family, though Embry, Quill, and Jake were a little more comfortable around them than the rest of the guys. "They only drink animal blood. Their hunting trip this weekend was really just that."
"Do you usually go with them on these camping trips?"
"No, my mum is afraid one of them may mistake me as food, so usually I stay home. It's kinda nice having Remus and Sirius here for me to stay with. I don't really like being alone." He had always tried not to make a big deal out of it, knowing that if he did someone would stay home with him, and have to go later, and he didn't want them to feel like they were missing out.
"How did you all come to live together, I mean is it normal to have so many vampires in one place?" It was obvious she wasn't sure what to say, but Harry could understand that, "How did you all come to live together, I mean, Embry did say that vampires are not usually caring people."
"It's not that they don't care, well, most don't. It's more like they develop these giant egos because of how long they've lived, and how powerful they are. They start thinking the human race is beneath them. That's what makes my family so different, we appreciate what humans can do."
"How did you all come to be together?"
"Carlisle was the first one to be turned, and he turned Edward, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett. Jasper and Alice found them sometime later, and then they all found me when I was about six. I met Ron and Hermione while I was in school, and then they were turned when we snuck out of the school." He didn't go into anyone's history as they weren't his stories to tell.

A.N. Originally I had thought of pairing Edward with Harry and Jacob, but will leave that up to the readers. If you would rather he not be paired with them, review and let me know. Also tell me who you would like to see him paired with if not them.
