After my temper tantrum, the Weasleys were with their mother, Edward, Harry and I were walking back to the Hospital wing of the School, because I was still worried about Harry's well being, seems like I'm the only one.
"You're not the only one worried," Edward murmured.
"Did you get any information from tall, dark and slimy?" I asked snickering at the new nickname for Snape.
"A lot more then he was willing to share, but he thinks there is a connection between the Voldemort's mind and Harry's. Whether he is, as yet, aware of this connection is for the moment unclear." Edward answered.
"I pray he remains ignorant." I responded.
"You mean if he knows about it then, he'll be able to read my mind?" asks Harry, I glanced over at him; I was walking in between Edward and Harry.
"If what I heard was true, He could Read it, control it, and unhinge It." replied Edward.
"Can you do that?" asks Harry, I reached out to hold his hand.
"No, Edward can only read minds, sometimes if the thoughts are bad he acts against the people who involved." I answered this time
"If I could control minds, we'd all be in trouble." Edward muses.
"Sometimes, I wish I could read Edward's mind, but I'm terrified of what I might find out." I state.
Edward poked me in the side, and I laughed.
"What's so funny?" asks Harry, staring at us like we lost our minds.
"Just being an 'older' brother and tickling my sister." Edward answered,
"You're ticklish?" Harry asks me.
I rolled my eyes, "Yes, but I suggest not trying to tickle me because it wouldn't work with a mortal."
"Why not?" replies Harry,
"Our skin is tough as diamonds to humans, but when we touch another vampire, they feel soft to us." answered Edward.
"A human trying to tickle a vampire would be like tickling a stone." I added.
"This is the part when i go see if Carlisle is busy" Edward muttered and ran off.
Great this was coming up again; the question of immortality.
I walked over to a bench that was flooded with moonlight, i sat down.
"Sit with me and we'll talk about this?" I asked
Harry sat down next to me. I stared straight ahead.
"I don't understand why you don't want to turn me." Harry stated as a few minutes of silence.
"It's not that i don't want to, it's because i can't." I replied. "Your scent is overpowering, I'm afraid that if I tried to change you, I would kill you."
"I see your point, but Voldemort wants me dead too, I just thought that if I was a vampire like you, I would be strong enough to withstand him" Harry explained.
"You're just like Bella." I stated.
Harry had a look of confusion on his face.
"You don't see yourself clearly; you are strong, if you weren't you wouldn't have survived being with the Dursleys or the last four years." i explained.
I had to think of something that would both ease my pain of knowing one day, i may have to turn my beloved or find a way to die myself.
"Tell you what, if you manage not to get killed by the snake wanna be, I'll see if i can turn you myself or I'll ask Carlisle to do it?" I asked
"Compromising aren't you?" asks Harry, I rolled my eyes up towards the heavens, a place i wasn't so sure i would ever see.
"Yes" i answered.
"Should I be seeing Carlisle or Madam Pomfrey now?" Harry questions.
"Yes, you still look pale as me." i stated with a lopsided grin that was almost the same as Edward's
I stood up and glanced over at Harry, he was the handsomest human i have ever seen, sure we had a few fights, but what couple doesn't and we were vastly different, his heart was still beating, and mine would never beat again.
Together we walked normally, until we got to the hosptial Carlisle met us.
"Madam Pomfrey is sleeping, I'll see to him." he explained.
"Ash, I think someone is eager to see you." Edward whispered and opened a window and Starfire came winging in. She landed on my shoulder, out of breathe and excited.
"Need Help" was all she said
"Sorry, but I have to go, Edward can you take Harry back to Gryffindor Tower?" I asked because I know my owl better then anyone else, she was impatient as i am.
"Yes, Go see what that bird of yours wants." Edward replied.
"Well you heard him, Featherhead." I laughed as i tossed Star in the air, she flew in the castle with me following behind her.
She led me out of the castle grounds in to the forest where my family and I hunt, she stopped and landed near a fallen tree, mantling over something on the ground, i stopped in my head long rush, and flitted to where Star is hovering, to my shock and surprise there was a peregrine eyas,
"Nestling, no parent, searched." Star informed me. She basically just said this little one is ophaned,
I crossed my arms, "Are you suggesting, I take in another bird?"
"Yes!" screeched Star,
I shook my head, "Alright, but you're helping me."
"Hunt, Keep warm." chirped Star, looking down at the scared eyas,
I knelt down and gently picked up the nestling, who blinked at me.
"It's alright, we won't harm you." I stated talking to yet another child of mine, I think this is the way i cope with my immortality, taking in birds that need nurturing, caring for,
"Kind, Loving." Star stated as she flapped onto my wrist, i could tell she would be the bird parent of this one, I'm the one who takes care of all it's needs.
I started walking back holding Star nestled in my hands, over the sleeping eyas, keeping the baby warm. I heard the footfalls of another animal.
"Now what?" i asked
"So you're here too." purred a voice, yep i know him as well..Akira's cat Shadow who keeps her in check.
