A/N: Oh boy. That's not good. This chapter: Wedding plans are made!! Song by Goo Goo Dolls!

Disclaimer: Nope!

I need some place simple where we could live

and something only you can give and

that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive

and the one poor child who saved this world

and there's ten million more who probably could

if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

Chapter Four--------Better Days Part One

Harrison wiggled teasingly in his mate's lap, earning a groan from Edward and an eye roll from Severus. The potion's master was assisting Esme in baking a batch of cookies, something that obviously amused Harrison greatly since occasionally he would snap a picture of the two for his photo album.

"So have the two of you decided where you want to have the wedding?" Esme asked, dusting flour off of her hands.

Harrison could have purred. Mmmm peanut butter cookies! His favorite! He turned to Edward as if looking for an answer. When he received only a shrug in response, he blushed. Edward had been pressing him to make a lot of the choices and decisions for the wedding, and he found that it was kind of nice. To be able to have the option of making his own choices. His blush deepened.

"Could we…have it at Godric's Hollow?" He asked lightly, picking up a cookie and popping it in his mouth to distract himself from the three pairs of eyes now on him.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Harrison." Severus said with a soft smile, setting a new plate of cookies in front of the beaming teen.

Edward nodded and grinned.

"Where ever you want, love." His mate said, teasing him with another cookie.

Harrison stuck his tongue out at him before grabbing a few cookies and a ziplock bag and rushing upstairs to put them in his lunch box, claiming they were for his teacher. The three shared fond looks.

"So what's Godric's Hollow?" Esme asked curiously, starting to roll out the dough for ginger bread cookies.

Severus wiped some flour off of his brow with a quirk of his lips.

"It's where Harrison's story first began. It's where the remnants of the Potter's home are and also where his parents are buried. Harrison wants to have his wedding where his parents can see."

Edward grinned. That did sound like a wonderful idea. Perhaps he would get to meet Harrison's parents after all. He knew that Harrison's parents, while not able to physically be present for the wedding, would be watching their son's happiest moment. Once his mate was back in his arms with a huge smile on his face he nuzzled his cheek playfully.

"Why don't we have it on July 31st?" He suggested and Harrison spun around in his arms, his eyes wide.

"On my birthday?"

Edward nodded and Harrison's smile grew impossibly large and he threw his arms around the vampire's neck happily.

Harrison stood nervously in his dressing room. His skin kept twitching like part of him was trying to run while the other insisted that he stay. Alice danced blissfully behind him, singing like a lark.

"Alice?"

"Hm?"

"Did you feel like this on your wedding day? All jittery and nervous?" He asked softly, playing with the end of his hair and the bouquet of lavender and baby's breath.

His hair was down, curling past his lower back silkily. It framed his pale face making his emerald eyes stand out like stars at night. His suit was white and his tie was a silver silk. When he had balked at having to wear the uncomfortable looking shoes, Edward had laughed and said that the whole party could be barefoot.

It was meant as a joke, at least he thought so, until his mate had told the girls not to bother buying shoes. Alice had lightly dabbed some eyeliner around his eyes. She said that it wasn't really needed since he had(according to her) gorgeous eyelashes and his hair and skin made the orbs stand out already. He couldn't wait to see Edward. Alice grinned and lead him out the door excitedly.

He stared up at his beloved, unable to tear his eyes away. Edward looked fabulous in white and silver. Like a dream prince come to sweep him off of his feet. Harrison knew that he had to have been grinning like an idiot. He was just so happy! Because this was a dream that he wouldn't have to wake up from.

"I do." He heard Edward whisper, touching his cheek softly.

Harrison felt as if his whole being would explode in happiness. Surely no one could feel this blissful and survive! His whole family stood around, Severus standing nearby after having given him away. The stoic man looked as if he were trying to hold some overwhelming expression behind his mask but slowly failing.

It was a small ceremony with only the Cullens and Severus. That was enough for him though. All of the people he cared for were here in Godric's Hollow with him. They exchanged their vows in front of the Potter graves, the stones draped with garlands of white roses and flowers.

"I do…"

The small silver diamond ring, Edward's treasure, the last thing he had of his mother, was slipped onto his finger and beaming, Edward pulled him in for a breathtaking kiss, spinning him around happily. They were just about to turn to see their cheering family when Alice suddenly shrieked.

A protective body was on him immediately, taking him to the ground so he avoided whatever projectile flew over his head. He didn't understand what was happening at first. Everything seemed muted and distant. What was happening?! Then all of the sudden sound came crashing back and he felt his stomach drop as he heard Carlisle's declaration:

"We're being attacked! Edward! Take Harrison and go!"

'Take and Harry and run!'

He whimpered before a pair of arms seized him around the waist, ripping him from his husband's arms. A chuckling was heard behind him and Harrison froze.

"Hello, pet. You have been very naughty, haven't you? Giving yourself away when you already have a master." Arturo 'tsk'ed in his ear.

Oddly enough, it was his voice that brought everything back to reality for Harrison and allowed him to come out of his fear and take stock of his surroundings. A few Aurors were fighting with Order members against his family. Severus was taking down several in quick succession, being the only magic wielder on the field on their side. Harrison watched with horror as his beloved mentor was struck with a spell that sent him to the ground.

It was then that his eyes narrowed and clarity set in. He remembered this. He remembered the battlefield. He gave Arturo a smirk that seemed to take the vampire aback before he gathered his raging magic in his hands and set a powerful stunning spell through his captor. Arturo seized hard enough that he released him. Much better.
