Chapter Six: Together
"Stop following me!" Draco yelled whirling around to face Edward Cullen. It had been two whole class periods and Cullen wouldn't stop following him. What's his problem? Can't he just leave me alone? He's so annoying. If you're going to follow someone at least don't make it obvious. Well I really don't mind that much, he is a really sexy stalker...wait what am I thinking? NOTHING about Edward Cullen is sexy. I MUST be losing my mind.
Edward chuckled inwardly at the other boys thoughts. "I can't." He replied simply, taking a step towards Draco. Draco unconsciously backed up a few steps and bumped into a wall. Draco looked down the hallway to see if anyone was coming this way. When he found no one he turned to look back at Edward.
"Why not? Why can't you just stop following me and leave me alone? What could I have possibly done to deserve this?" Draco asked while looking Edward straight in the eyes. Edward gave another chuckle and shook his head.
"Malfoy, I can't. I will do anything else if that would make you happy, but I can't do that. I must make sure you are always protected. The only way to do that is to make sure no harm comes to you. No harm will come to you as long as I'm near, I won't let it." Edward clarified. Draco stared at him in shocked silence.
He blinked once, twice, three times. "Cullen, you're a nutter. Stay away from me or I'll have you committed to St. Mungos. I won't hesitate to do so." Draco looked away, but turned quickly back when he felt a chilly breeze hit his face. Edward was right in front of him with an eyebrow raised.
Edward put his hands on the wall on either side of Draco, trapping him there. "What if I don't want to stop following you?" Draco visibly gulped and tried to push Edward back without much success.
"Get away from me, psycho. What do you want from me?! What do I have to do to make you get away?" Draco demanded with another futile push against Edward. He glared up at the slightly taller boy. Edward smirked down at him.
"I'll leave you alone if you agree to go out with me." Edward bargained.
"No, absolutely not. I can't! That's insane. Do you know who I am? I come from one of the most influential pure blood families in the wizarding world. I could have you put in Azkaban if I was inclined to." Draco growled back at him. "So get away from me, NOW!" Nothing else had been working, so he tried intimidation.
Edward merely stared at him. Draco only had one more option, but he refused to beg him. He wouldn't, couldn't do it. What am I going to do? I refuse to beg him, but I can't say yes to him either. My Father would be extremely angry. I have to get to my dorm, but how? I can't get away from Cullen.
"Fine! If you tell anyone, and I mean ANYONE, I will personally see that something is done about it." Draco agreed finally. "Now, get away from m...mffff!" He was cut off as Edward kissed his mate. Draco fought against him trying to push him off. He finally pulled back to look down at a furious Draco sent him a smile and turned to walk down the hallway in the same direction Draco happened to have been going.
Draco continued to glare after him for a full minute. When Edward was out of sight, he leaned back against the wall. He reached a hand up to touch his lips. They were tingling and he had this odd urge to catch up with Edward and walk down to dinner with him. What was he going to do now? He decided to forget about it for the moment and go eat. He pushed away from the wall and began down the hallway towards the Great Hall.

Jasper had found Harry finally! He had ran and hid from them after he woke up in the infirmary, but Jasper tracked his scent. "Harry...come out of there please. I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at the situation and your surprise of seeing me there." Jasper pleaded at the door of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
"No, I don't wanna come out!" Harry shouted back at him.
"Fine, I'll just come in there then." Jasper turned the knob and opened the door. Harry was sitting on the floor by the sinks drawing in a notebook. He walked over to him and squatted down beside him. "Whatcha drawing, Darlin'?" Jasper ask with sincere interest.
Harry didn't answer at first, but after a few seconds he said, " You. Wanna see it?" He looked up at him with a slight blush. Jasper nodded reaching for it. Harry handed it to him and waited. Jasper gasped at what he saw. It was an amazingly good picture. There was a castle at close range like someone was almost looking down on it from the sky. In the tallest tower, stood himself gazing up at whatever was watching down upon the castle. Up in the sky beyond the castle was a full moon. Jasper guessed that the castle was Hogwarts.
"Harry, this is very good. I didn't know you could draw. Have you ever showed anyone your drawings?" Harry shook his head and held his hand out for the sketchpad. Jasper handed it back and sat down beside him on the floor watching Harry draw on the picture some more. After a little while Harry's stomach made a protest for food. "Looks like it's dinner time for the human," Jasper joked.
Harry looked up at him. "Yeah, I guess it is time for dinner. We should get down there before they send a search party for us." Harry stood and offered his hand to Jasper. He took it and let Harry haul him from the floor. For someone that looked as he did, he was quite strong. After he was off the floor, he didn't let go of Harry's hand. Harry didn't complain just lead him out of the bathroom and up the stairs.
"I thought we were going to dinner.... Why are we going upstairs?" Jasper was confused. The Great Hall was downstairs on the first floor. Harry rolled his eyes and tugged on his hand trying to make him walk faster. Jasper complied, but he was still confused until they reached the floor with the Gryffindor tower entrance. "Oh, you're going to drop of your stuff?"
"Yes. Do you want to wait out here or come with me?" Harry asked looking at him over his shoulder. Jasper tightened his hand and Harry took that as his answer. He got to the portrait entrance.
"Password?" The Fat Lady asked.
"Riotous Children," Harry said clearly. Jasper smirked at that and gave a snicker. Harry turned towards him. "What? You think our password is funny?" Jasper nodded. Harry rolled his eyes and pulled him through the portrait hole into the common room. Harry went up to his dorm with Jasper following behind him silently. Dean was sitting on his bed when Harry came in.
"Hey Harry. I see you brought a Slytherin into our mitts." Dean laughed at his own joke. Harry laughed with him and nodded, putting his things in his trunk and grabbing Jasper's hand again. They started back out the door when Dean asked Harry something else. "Are you two together or something?" He nodded towards their linked hands.
Harry blushed, "I guess you could say that." He looked up at Jasper for confirmation. Jasper just nodded and brought Harry's hand up to his mouth to kiss it.
Dean smiled at them. "Well good for you, Harry. Does anyone else know? Like Ron and Hermione?"
Harry nodded, "Well sort of, but not really. I kinda blurted it out in front of them that I'm Jasper's mate...." Dean looked confused at the last part but nodded and looked down at the book he'd been reading. Jasper tugged on Harry's hand making him shift his attention to him.
"Come on. I know you're hungry, I can hear your stomach." He laughed at Harry's embarrassed face. Harry and Jasper left the room heading down the stairs. They reached the Great Hall and were about to walk through the doors when Harry pulled him to a stop. "What's wrong, Harry?" Jasper asked.
Harry shook his head, "Do you think we should go in there like this?" He motioned towards their linked hands. "Aren't you worried about what people will think?" Jasper rolled his eyes and reached up to cup Harry's cheek with his other hand.
"Harry, it doesn't bother me what they think. All that matters is I love you. So, I'm going to walk in there just like this." He tightened his grip on Harry's hand again. "Okay?" He asked after a second. He wasn't sure of Harry's opinion on this.
Harry nodded quickly and turned back towards the direction of the Great Hall. He walked into the room and let Jasper walk him to his table. Harry stood by his table looking up at Jasper a few minutes later. The room was silent, but broke out with whispers all over the room when Jasper leaned down and kissed Harry softly. "Eat. I'll walk you back to the tower after dinner." He smiled at his mate before going and joining his own table. Harry nodded staring at Jasper, with a shocked expression on his features.

Neville was sitting at the Gryffindor table next to Alice when Harry had come in. The whole room had went silent. He looked around for the cause of the commotion, but smiled when he saw Harry and Jasper. He himself was holding Alice's hand under the table. They had become quite close on the walk back to the tower earlier. She hadn't let go of his hand since they had started walking.
He wasn't complaining of course, he didn't mind. He glanced at Alice to see her reaction. She had a knowing smile on her face and was staring across the room at Edward. Neville noticed Edward nod and looked over at Malfoy affectionately. Malfoy glanced up at him and sneered viciously back. Neville turned back to Alice, who was now watching him. He smiled nervously at her.
"What were you looking at, Neville?" she questioned gently.
"Um...nothing really. Did you see the way your brother was looking at Malfoy?" Neville asked still a bit alarmed by that. Alice giggled, nodding.
"Yes. Malfoy is Edward's mate," she explained. Neville nodded slowly,still slightly confused.
Neville sat silent for a minute. "Why would Edward need a mate is he a veela or something?"
Alice shook her head, "No. Edward's a vampire. Same as me and the rest of our family. I think you might be my mate." Neville nodded again, eyes going wide with shock. Alice laughed at him and tightened her grip on his hand. "Ready to go back up to the tower?" Alice asked a second later. Neville nodded and they stood, still holding hands. and walked back up to the common room.

Jasper walked over to Harry a little while later. "Are you finished?" Harry shook his head and patted the empty space on the bench beside him. Jasper sat down next to him, grabbing his hand in his and settling their linked hands in his lap. Harry continued to eat and talk to his friends.
He sat quietly until Ron turned to him suddenly and asked, "So you and Harry are together now?" Ron continued at Jasper's nod. "Well you had better not hurt him or I'll hex you into oblivion. He's almost like family to me." Jasper nodded in understanding while Harry just rolled his eyes at Ron.
Harry stood pulling Jasper up with him. "I'm finished now." Jasper smiled softly at him and put his arm around Harry's waist leading him from the room. Dumbledore watched with a smile on his wrinkled face. Harry's finally happy. I am glad he found Jasper. I must make sure to thank Professor Cullen for bringing his children along. They have made several of our students very happy.
Dumbledore started searching his pockets for one of the lemon drops he keeps there. I must have forgotten them in my office. Oh well, now I have an reason to excuse myself. He stood nodding to the other teachers and headed out of the Great Hall in a very good mood. He got to his office and sat behind his desk popping a lemon drop into his mouth. He smiled and closed his eyes.
I sincerly hope these two chapters are good. I worked very hard on them. Please review and tahnks for reading. Lots Of Love! - Randie Jo
