Moving On
Chapter 32
"Harry was kidnapped, but it all indicated to him walking away not being taken against his will" said Hermione looking deeply ashamed.
"A week later Sirius came back through the veil - The Veil apparently cannot keep people who are already dead. It can't take their souls its trapped inside their bodies, and they cannot move on" said Ron.
"Vampire's have no soul" said Edward sounding so sure of himself.
"They do actually," smirked Hermione "I read up on it, and I know for certain"
Edward gulped, he couldn't hear their mind but they didn't seem the type to lie especially since they were bearing their souls to them. Carlisle smirked softly, making him look even younger without such a serious look on his face. Carlisle knew that it was something that had been bothering Edward since he was turned.
"Who kidnapped you?" asked Jasper, Jasper was the only one that would have dared say it out loud. However, it was refreshing for Harry to see someone that wasnt tip toeing around him. Harry remained silent for a few minutes contemplating if he should tell them, if anyone understood him perhaps a few of the vampires would.
"Dumbledore" was the only thing Harry said.
"Dumbledore? Is it a popular name or was it you're headmaster?" asked Alice shocked.
"The one and only" said Ron angrily.
"Why would he kidnap you? You were on his side" frowned Jasper, he was great at strategies but this one was defiantly baffling him.
"He...uh...well wanted to train me" said Harry sounding unsure himself.
"He wanted to train Harry to defeat Voldemort, break him then planned on killing him" admitted Hermione. Thankfully Harry already knew this and it didn't upset him, vampire or not he could still feel heartache.
"Jesus Christ" muttered Carlisle he couldn't believe what he was hearing. The others weren't fairing any better, the leader of light? The headmaster of a school full of children...it was shocking. The others in all their years on this earth as humans or vampires they had never heard of such things. It was disgusting, immoral and down right wrong to these Vampires it was the worst thing in this world.
"How long were you...gone?" asked Rosalie softly. The snooty girl was nowhere to be seen in place was the real Rosalie who had been turned into a vampire and learned that the world didn't revolve around her. The one that learned she would never be able to have any children, or able to have a normal life again. Only thing was - she still had lots of money.
"At first it was ok, Moody started training me, throwing stinging curses until i learned to do it properly, always saying that a little pain never hurt anyone. It did help i learned the curses and spells quicker that way, worked up my anger." said Harry remembering his first few months there.
"Moody always made sure i got food that would build my strength, potions that would help me grow taller things like that" continued Harry.
"Doesn't seem too bad" said Emmett.
"Until Moody left anyway" sighed Harry sadly, remembering how horrible it got over night.
"Wait a minute Moody didn't take part in it? Did he know?" asked Neville.
"He didn't know, it was really weird it was like he...well respected me knew what i could do and when he was pushing me too far" said Harry smiling slightly.
"Everyone respected you, still do no one takes Voldemort on at the age of fourteen and lives to tell the tale" said Neville grinning with glee.
"Not to forget kicking his arse" smirked Ron.
"This time no one can say you're mum was the hero or Dumbledore" said Luna smugly.
"Plus no adult had fought him and lived to tell the tale never mind beat him" said Hermione the look of pride almost had Harry squirming.
"Well when you put it that way..." smirked Harry.
The Cullen's were surprised by how great the teens got on, it had taken ages for Edward and Rosalie to get on. Esme was shocked, it had taken nearly thirteen years together for all the Cullen's to get on. It was nice to see them getting on so nice, they were like one big family of brothers and sisters. Carlisle wondered if there was a few of them that always started fights - like Jasper and Emmett.
"After Moody left, everything changed, they used to throw curses bordering on illegal until I learned the shields," said Harry. "That was for about a year, then the harder curses began, they would Crucio me until I passed out, then wake me up and repeat the process until I could flawlessly say all the spells they wanted me to."
"The unforgivables? They made you learn that?" asked Neville sadly.
"What are the unforgivables?" asked Edward he hated being out of the loop.
The other Cullen's nodded they too were curious.
"The unforgivable curses - there are three the Imperious curse 'Imperio' gives the castor complete control over the recipient; they can make them do anything from dancing to killing themselves or others. It can make them do things they would never actually be able to do, they could make a ninety year old woman do kart- wheels a paralysed man walk on his feet. Not many people can fight this curse - however, with enough will power or very powerful magic it can be fought and overcome" said Hermione as usual giving a text book version.
The others just rolled their eyes and grinned good naturally to each other some things just did not change. This was one of the times; Hermione just loved giving a full description of everything.
"Magic can do that?" asked Jasper looking a little sick.
"With everything good there is bad, people, magic even creatures are just three examples" Neville sadly.
The Cullen's could only agree with that part - because they knew it was true.
"The next one has already been mentioned the Cruciatus curse 'Crucio' causes unimaginable pain to course through you're body, it's like knives sticking in every part of you, places you didn't even imagine that could cause you pain. The after affects are probably twice as bad nothing is worse than that" shuddered Harry remembering his fourth year being under that curse by Voldemort as powerful as he was.
"The more power you put into it the worse it hurts, it can drive someone insane should it be kept on long enough, turn people into shells of who they used to be." finished Neville his haunted eyes made them think he had experienced it too "My parent's suffered that curse when I was nearly two years old they remained in hospital until they were killed by Death Eaters. They thought it would kill me - they were wrong I was glad they were no longer trapped in their own bodies if anything it made me stronger and more determined to bring Voldemort's rein and his Death Eaters to and end."
"The last and worst unforgivable is the Killing curse 'Avada Kedavra' it killed the person the second it came into contact with them. No one had ever survived the killing curse until at the age of one and a half - the same attack that killed his parents - he survived it," said Luna. "With the help of his mother Lily Evans of course" she finished. Harry hated it when his mother wasnt mentioned - Harry felt he would never have survived if she hadn't sacrificed her life for him.
The Cullen's were wide eyed and not even pretending to breath, that's when they realised they had probably completely shocked them.
Esme felt respect building for a woman who had been dead for years it was something she would do for any of her family in an instant.
"The next worst thing happened when one of my captor's wives died; he got worse, much more aggressive. Two week straight I was beaten, wand taken from me, not learning anything, only time I got rest was when I ended up unconscious" said Harry emotionless, only Jasper could feel the utter turmoil inside of Harry. He may have shut his mind of to everyone but his emotions always came bleeding through as Severus always said to him 'you wear your emotions on you're sleeve' which was true.
"He was left to die when Shacklebolt knew he had gone too far, not even potions would have healed Harry. Luckily I and Ron had overheard Dumbledore talking - we knew we needed help so we went to Severus - who in turn got help from Lucius Malfoy they found Harry in the nick of time. The only way Harry was going to survive to tell the tail was if Severus turned him" said Hermione.
"Wait so how come you all ended up turned?" asked Edward curiously.
"My Ron was dying I practically had to beg Harry to turn him" said Hermione.
"Luna was the same way" said Neville.
"The twins were turned...well one of them by Harry and then the other one became a vampire...they need each other all the time, they aren't whole unless they are together...the thought of one growing old was heartbreaking so he was turned. Then the same happened to us, now we are all vampires and very happy" smiled Hermione.
"Don't you realise you cannot have children?" asked Rosalie sounding angry for the first time at the fact that they had recklessly given up their life to be a vampire.
Will Hermione Remember that Severus Has That Potion? Or Will This Rerunion Be Cut Short With a Slapping Angry Match Between The New Vamps and The Cullens? R&R
