Chapter 16
They agreed to meet at the Black manor and Remus and Gabrielle were following Harry's car home. While they were driving, Edward turned to Harry.
"Who is she?" Edward asked.
"Gabrielle Delacour, I introduced you two remember?" Harry replied.
"No, I meant 'Who is she to you?' " Edward rephrased.
"A dear friend, she helped me through my grief when my fiance left me." Harry said quietly.
"Oh." Edward said.
"Listen, Edward, when we get Gabrielle and Remus to the house, I'll drop you off at your house. It's going to be awkward for you, since you don't know them that well. You understand, right?" Harry said.
Edward nodded, he even said he could just run, to save Harry the trouble.
"No, I'll drop you off, It's no trouble at all." Harry reassured him with a smile. Edward couldn't help but smile back, there was something about Harry that made him want to relax, and trust him.
"Thanks" Edward said.
They arrived at the manor and parked, Harry explaining to Remus that we was just going to drop Edward at his house and come back.
"Okay, It was nice meeting you Edward." Remus told Edward, who smiled back politely.
"Bye Edward" Gabrielle said as well, Edward's smile was slightly more forced, but no one noticed this except Remus.
The ride to Edward's house was quick and quiet, Harry kept glancing at Edward with worry and confusion etched on his face.
Why was Edward so quiet? Was something wrong? Harry thought to himself.
Edward, on the other hand, was just listening to Harry's thoughts, which he still couldn't hear, just music. Although the music he heard now was slow and all over the place, as if it were looking for something. He wished he could hear his teacher's thoughts, he wanted to know everything about the man, yet he had no idea why. He thought that maybe he was just curious, but then why did Gabrielle hugging Harry bother him so much?
"Edward?" Harry's voice snapped his attention back to reality.
Edward realized they were already in his driveway. Once again, he thanked whatever being up there that he couldn't blush.
"Oh, Goodbye Harry" Edward told his teacher stepping out of the car.
"Goodbye Edward, see you on Monday." Harry said just before Edward closed the passenger seat's door. Edward watched as Harry drove away, wondering to himself what on earth was going on with him and his human teacher.
Just go with it Edward, it ends good. Alice thought happily from inside the house.
When Harry got back, Remus was waiting for him, a stern look on his face.
"where's Teddy and Gaby?" He asked.
"Upstairs, now explain to me what i just witnessed there." Remus demanded.
"He's just my student."
"Just your student, yet you two were together on a weekend at a shopping area. Plus the way he looks at you doesn't seem like you're just his teacher. He's a vampire, Harry." Remus said.
"I know, Remus. I'm not dense." Harry said, pushing past Remus.
"What is he to you?" Remus asked softly.
"I don't know" Harry said, sounding very confused.
Remus decided to let Harry sort his own feelings.
"It's okay, it'll come to you" Remus said.
Harry's thoughts were a mess, he was so confused. Why did he feel so much for this immortal teen he barely knew?
While he was trying to sort out his thoughts, he couldn't help but spend time with Edward. He noticed things he didn't before, like how when Edward smiled, he couldn't help but smile too. How a simple brush of hands felt so intense to him, how unbelievably hard it was to teach with Edward right there, smiling.
Did he fancy Edward? No, it's deeper than that, it felt like love. Love? how could he love this person? how could he love his vampire student he barely knew. Harry didn't know, nor care. He lost so many people in that war, he only has enough loved ones to count in one hand, he would not ignore love if it was presented to him.
Besides, Edward's sweet...but what was he to Edward?
"What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue
When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so
If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin true
What am I to you?" Harry sang softly, playing the guitar.
"What am I to you?" He repeated.
"That's nice, when'd you write that?"
Harry turned to see Edward, smiling.
"Edward." Harry said, surprised.
"That was very different from your usual music." Edward said.
"not really, I use to do country and pop when i was younger." Harry said, packing up his things.
"Oh? why'd you stop?" Edward asked, Harry was fixing his bag.
"You don't sing country and pop in times of war, Edward." Harry said, carrying his bag and heading out the door past Edward.
"War?" Edward asked, Harry stopped, a few steps behind Edward.
"Edward." Harry said, Edward turned to face Harry who was still facing the door.
"Hmm?"
"What am I to you?" Harry asked, Edward froze.
Harry shook his head, and walked away.
