Chapter Five: Temper Tantrums And Introductions

Harry opened his eyes and sat up groggily. He looked around at the white room he was now in. Great the infirmary. How'd I get here? I gotta think. What was the last thing I did? Um...I was in Care Of Magical Creatures. Malfoy touched Jasper and I punched him. He fought back. Harry reached up and touched his now bruised cheek, wincing slightly in pain. Stupid Malfoy! Jasper threw him...wait Jasper...I'm his MATE!

"Harry are you okay?" Ron's voice disrupted his thoughts, jolting him back to the present. Ron was sitting beside the hospital bed in one of the provided chairs and beside him was Hermione. He didn't notice the silent blond in the corner. Hermione leaned towards him and out her hand on his forehead checking for fever or any other sign of illness. Satisfied when she didn't find any she withdrew her hand.

Harry smiled weakly at the two of them. "Yeah I'm alright. Please tell me no one saw me faint like that. I will probably totally embarrassed tomorrow, won't I?" Harry prayed no one had seen that. He had fainted like a little girl.

"Why'd you faint anyways, mate?" Ron questioned. Wouldn't you know Ron would have to ask, Harry thought sarcastically. He looked at Ron for a moment deciding which option he could use. Should I tell him it was because of the news about me being Jasper's mate or should I tell him that I fainted from an adrenalin rush?

Hmmm..."It's complicated?" Harry finally decided on this answer. Hoping they would drop it. No such luck was had though.

Hermione raised an eyebrow, "How complicated can it be? Did it have anything to do with what the Cullens were talking to you about? I mean, after all, you didn't faint until after Jasper had said something to you and ran off." Ron nodded agreeing with her. He sent a glance over his shoulder to the corner where the unnoticed blond still stood.

Harry followed his gaze and gasped. There in the corner was Jasper. Oh God. What am I supposed to do now? I can't tell them this with him in the room. I would feel uncomfortable and nervous..like now! Jasper merely raised an eyebrow expecting him to speak. "Uh hello? I didn't see you there. What are you doing here?" Harry couldn't think of anything else to say.

Jasper stepped out of the corner coming over to his bed and sitting on the edge beside him. "Why wouldn't I come to see you? I am the one that made you faint, aren't I? Or was I mistaken?" Jasper looked like he was trying to supress laughter. How dare he laugh at me, Harry snarled to himself.

Harry shoved Jasper off the bed. "Mate or not, that doesn't give you the right to laugh at me." Harry stood and walked to the office where Madame Pomfrey was and knocked on the door. She opened it, looking somewhat irritated.

"May I leave, now? I'm alright. It was just a fainting spell." Harry asked politely. She nodded her assent and went back into her office closing the door. Harry turned and walked straight from the room leaving a stunned Ron, Hermione, and Jasper to catch up. They scrambled after him.

Edward was just walking back from Herbology when he ran straight into someone. He looked up from the text book he had been reading to see who he had collided with and managed to knockdown. Draco Malfoy glared up at him.

"Watch where you're going," Draco hissed at him. "You better be glad I'm in a good mood today." Edward only nodded as he reached a hand out to help him up. Draco spat on it and knocked it out of the his face. He stood up and strode past Edward clipping his shoulder hard enough to make him drop his book from his now limp fingers.

Edward stood there stunned for a moment before he turned and raced after Draco forgetting about his book. "Hey, wait up! Don't go! I need to ask you something," Edward yelled futilely after him. Draco just kept walking, not once slowing or acknowledging him. Edward gave up after a little while. He didn't want to be late for his next class. I will talk to him before the day is out. Even if he continues to try to avoid me. I will find a way to make him talk to me.

Edward rushed to his next class, entering just seconds before he was counted late. He looked around at his classmates then gasped as he saw the only spot open was next to the blond he had been chasing just moments ago. He walked quickly to the open seat and plopped down. He put his bag on the table and glanced over at Draco. The boy looked lost in his thoughts and was doodling what looked, for all the world, like a cartoon of him. Edward tuned into his thoughts.

What was that I felt when he bumped into me? It was like an electrically charged current. I've only heard of such things as that in stories of vampires. When they meet they're mates, the first time they touch the mate is shocked. I can't be his mate though, can I? I don't think I could handle that. He's not even in Slytherin and he's male.... What would Father say? I wouldn't be able to tell anyone.... His thoughts trailed off then to what was for dinner.

Edward was shocked. What if he is my mate. That would explain his smell, and oh does he smell good. He's certainly gorgeous enough. I bet he can hold his own if his attitude accounts for anything. He can be quite rude. I just wish I knew his name. A few moments later Professor Flitwick began to call roll. Edward had stopped paying attention until he heard, "Present!" Come from the boy beside him after the name Draco Malfoy had been called. Draco, huh? That's an odd name choice...it means dragon in Latin. Edward shook it off and turned his attention to the front of the room where the professor was now writing instructions on the board. Malfoy seemed not to notice he was even there in all the time he had been sitting there. He finished his doodle and tapped it with his wand making it move. Edward watched interestedly from his peripheral vision. Draco looked around him to see if anyone was watching, but when he looked to see who was seated next to him, he almost fell off his seat. He hadn't expected that boy to be in this class with him.

Edward pressed his lips tightly together to try to keep in his laughter at His Dragon's reaction to him sitting there. Draco scowled a little at him and he couldn't help it. He burst out laughing and gained the attention of half the room including Draco. "What's so funny, Cullen?" Draco demanded.

"Nothing, Malfoy. I just thought I needed a good laugh." Edward turned his attention back to the front once more to find that class was ending. He looked down searching for the quill he had had seconds ago. He glanced at Malfoy holding it out to him.

"I think this is yours. Am I correct?" Draco raised an eyebrow. "Well take the damn thing so I can leave this bloody classroom," He snapped when Edward didn't take it. Edward reached over to grab it, accidentally brushing fingers with Draco again. This time though, things did not go as Edward expected them to. Instead of Draco insulting him again then leaving, Draco leaned forward and clumsily pressed his lips to Edward's for a brief second before realizing what he was doing. He yanked his face away from Edward's and wiped his hand over his mouth. He stood and ran from the room, cursing himself the whole way.

Edward was left stunned for a second. Did that really just happened? Did Draco Malfoy just kiss me? In front of everyone in the room for that matter? At least I know he's my mate now. I could feel the current he was on about a second ago. Edward smiled happily to himself and got up smugly. He left a room full of completely confused students in his wake.

Rosalie was walking to her next class with Emmett by her side. Everyone kept staring at them. It was getting very annoying. Maybe she should get some more rope...there is a forest full of trees near the school, conveniently. I wonder why these stupid people keep staring at us...I know we are more beautiful than them, but could they not take a picture and be done with it? Maybe it's the fac that Emmett is holding my hand. Everyone thinks we are family. I bet they think we are some kind of incestuous freaks or something. Oh well let them think what they want. I could care less as long as they don't get in my way.

Emmett pulled on her hand suddenly causing her thoughts to return to her hunk of a mate. God he was distracting sometimes. A hand was then waving in front of her face and she heard her name being called, "Rose. Rose? ROSE!" Emmet smiled at here when he finally caught her attention. "Hey, what were you thinking about? You remember I'm not Edward. I can't read your mind, babe," Emmett joked.

"Oh nothing really. It's just these people won't quit staring. It's beginning to get on my nerves. I've already had to tie a girl to a tree. I don't want to have to take half the school to the forest," Rosalie replied in a whisper. Emmett rolled his eyes at her. "What are you rolling your eyes for. The girl was annoying. I couldn't stand her and that whiny voice she has. She'd better be lucky I told her friend where she was," Rosalie dusted her robes and brushed her hair back behind her shoulders before looking up at Emmett. She moved closer, craning higher to place her lips against his before she walked into her classroom with him right behind her.

Alice had a free period this hour and was wondering down the halls. She was searching her family's and friends' futures to see what exactly was in store for them. A couple times she had to stop and giggle at some of it. She was delighted that all her 'brothers' were pleased in the near future. Suddenly an empty hallway that hadn't been there earlier had appeared from what seemed to be thin air, but then again this was Hogwarts. Such things were possible here. She decided to explore it.

She turn down the hall and began walking slowly looking for anything interesting that could possibly be down here. She found no doors, no secret passages and no end to the hallway. She grew bored quickly and turned to walk back almost running into a Gryffindor boy in her year. He was stout, with brown hair, and a rounded face. Alice stuck her hand out," I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were there. I wasn't paying close attention to my surroundings. I'm Alice, by the way. You are?" She smiled at him still holding her hand out. This boy seemed pleasant enough, but a little shy. She would have to fix this. No one was supposed to be shy around her.

"I'm Neville," answered said boy. "It was my fault that you bumped into me, I wasn't watching ahead of me. I am quite alright though. It's a pleasure to finally meet you Alice. I haven't gotten the chance say hi yet. Welcome to Gryffindor!" Neville shook her hand and smiled back at her.

"What's down this hall? Ever been down here?" Alice asked, remembering where she was. She looked around still confused as to where this hall went. Neville shook his head. He didn't know where he was even, much less where the hall lead.

"I don't have a clue. I don't even remember how I got down this hall. I was on my way to Gryffindor tower and then I just ended up here," Neville scratched his head in a confused manner which made Alice laugh. Neville was even more confused now. "What's so funny?" he asked.

"You're just so cute when you're confused," she laughed again. Neville blushed at that looking down at his feet. This got her attention immediately. "What's wrong, Neville? Did I say something wrong?" Nevile shook his head before looking back up to her. "No you haven't done or said anything wrong. It's just no one ever tells me that kinda thing. I'm glad you thinks so." Alice was pleased and smiled back brightly when Neville flashed her a small grin. Alice grabbed his hand and turned him in the opposite direction intending to go back the way she came.

"Walk with me back to Gryffindor tower! We can get to know one another on the way. So tell me about yourself." Alice gave him an encouraging smile and waited patiently for his answer.
