"You're going to have a good day today," sang Alice as she skipped into the living room.
Edward looked over at her in confusion. He tried to read he mind to figure out what the hell she was talking about, but all she was thinking was 'Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy...'. It was rather annoying. "Oh? And why am I going to have a good day today?" he asked in a mock mellifluous tone.
"You'll see!" she giggled out as she skipped out to the car. He could hear Emmett laughing at him from the garage and Rose from upstairs as she fixed her hair. Jasper was already waiting for them outside. "Oh, don't let Alice get to you, dear," said Esme as she bustled in from the garden.
Edward sighed, "I know," he bent down and let her kiss him on the cheek.
"Have a good day," came her cheerful good-bye he went to his car.
They arrived at school soon after and climbed out. Of course, even after a few years of attending, everybody still stared at them. He did a cursory glance around and noticed that Harry's car was in it's usual place. He held back a sigh of relief. He was glad that the raven haired boy was back at school.
The past week had been almost painful for him. Bella had taken to following him around, trying to get back together with him. To be frank, it pissed him the hell off. Everything about her repulsed him. Even her scent, which at one point had been so agonizingly delicious, was something that repelled him from her. It seemed that when she laid with the wolf, it tainted her scent, causing it to loose it's otherwise intoxicating presence.
When he walked into Calculus, he almost smiled when he saw Harry sitting there with his head down on the desk, hair falling into his face. He focused in on his mind when he sat and almost recoiled in horror. What was this? Everything he saw seemed almost fantastical, what he was seeing. Drawn into the horror he was seeing, he barely paid any attention to the teacher.
'Jets of light flew across a wide field as men and women fought with everything they had. People were crying out in pain, shouting obscenities at each other. There were growls, howls, screeches, and other such animal noises as they tore through the field. In the center of it all were two people, both male. One tall, skeletal with dangerously pale skin and glowing red eyes. His face was snake-like with no nose and he was bald and was dressed in what seemed to be robes. The other was short with messy black hair and pale features, though not as pale as the other. He wore exceedingly baggy clothes that did nothing to hide his skinniness. They both fought hard, but, in the end, the boy was hit with a blinding green light. One that made him drop to the ground like a stone. The snake-man let out a shrill, high pitched laugh that chilled everyone around him to the very bone. He had turned his back to his dead opponent to speak to the people around him. Most of them stared in horror as the others stared in glee. But, soon, the expressions switched. The boy had stood and shot the same green light at the mans back. It was his turn to drop, though there was a general felling that he would not rise again.'
Edward was pulled out of Harry's mind when the bell rang. Though his mind was blank, he couldn't help but feel horror at what he had seen. What was that? Was it real? If so, did Harry really die? How could he though? Nothing like that was possible. Though, that was like saying vampires and werewolves didn't exist. Maybe it was all real. If it was, then he did die. He shuddered at that thought. He didn't like it.
He vowed that, if it was in his power, he wouldn't let anything else happen to the green eyed boy.
Be barely paid any attention in Chem, his mind on what he had seen, but he did pay attention in English. He liked his teacher. Right now she was talking about a project with Mrs. Davis' class. His eyebrow shot up. Harry had that class. His insides felt as though they shifted, even though he knew they couldn't. The thought of working with Harry, talking to him, interacting with him, was like a high for the centuries old vampire. Rosalie seemed to know what he was thinking as she shot him an annoyed look. He just grinned at her.
Mrs. Chalmers handed out the packets and he ran a cursory glance at it. Ah, Hamlet. He loved Hamlet. Hopefully, this is what Alice meant by a good day.
He looked up when the other class came into the room. Harry was hanging out in the back, away from everyone, waiting for someone to come to him. A quick look in his mind told him that he had the same scene as he and Rose. His sister looked at him and sighed, "Let's get this over with already."
Edward scowled slightly, "He's not her, alright. Nothing like her. Now get over yourself and come on."
She sighed and stood, as did he and they both walked over. They had waiting long enough so that everyone but themselves were in a group. He stopped in front of the smaller boy, "Act three Scene four, Hamlet?" he asked.
The boy looked up and locked impossibly green eyes with his. "Ah, yes."
He made it seem as though he was relieved when Harry confirmed it and gestured for Rosalie to join them. "So, who's playing who?" asked Rosalie disdainfully as she looked around at everyone else.
'Yeah, she and Fleur would get along,' came a thought from Harry when he laid eyes on the blond, "Don't know, though I guess you would be the queen."
"Of course," came her reply with mock disdain, "Like either of you would be her."
Edward laughed, though he did enjoy the sound of Harry snickering as he asked, "Where are we going to meet after school, then?"
'That human isn't coming over to our house. Not yet anyway. We don't know him,' thought Rosalie. Edward had to agree.
"We could go do your house. I think Esme said something about repainting," replied Edward.
The green eyed teen nodded in reply, "Okay, that'll be fine. You can come over when ever after school."
He and Rosalie nodded as the bell rang. The left the room, taking their time for a change for getting to lunch. When they did get there, Harry was sitting with Alice, chatting about something or another. They sat in their usual seats, and due to this, Edward got to sit next to Harry. Something that caused his still stomach to flip flop. He watched out of the corner of his eye as the smaller teen ate his lunch. They really didn't talk about much, though Edward had a hell of a time not laughing when he heard the people around him start talking. It amused him greatly to hear the rumors that some people come up with.
"So, where'd you move from?" asked Emmett
"Surrey, outside of London. Why?" came the curious response.
The brawny teen shrugged, "Curious. Nobody really knows anything about you guys."
Harry looked slightly surprised, "Really? I thought people would have dug something up by now."
"Yes, well, I think most people have tried. The rumors going around are rather amusing," said Jasper.
Harry just shook his head, "Rumors don't bother me, so I just tend to ignore them."
Alice quickly piped up with something about how their chem teacher looked like something or another, causing Harry to laugh. The sound sent shivers down his spine.
The bell soon rang, sending them off to their next class.
After school, Edward watched Harry and Luna get into the car, easily hearing their conversation as well. It seemed that Luna was going down to La Push to see the mutt. He snarled silently at the mere thought of the beast, but quickly calmed himself.
He got in the car and drove to the house after his siblings got in. "I told you today was going to be a good day."
"Yes, yes, do shut up, Alice," he said with a grin.
Emmett grinned, "Aww, is Edward falling for the little human boy?"
The other three laughed while Edward scowled, "Shut up. Don't make me toss you into a wall again."
"Yeah, yeah. Like you could."
They bantered lightly as Edward sped up the drive way. Everyone got out, except Edward and Rosalie, though she did move from the back to the front, and went into the house. Edward just pulled out again and went down the road to Harry's house. "You already know where he lives? Is that what you do at night? Watch him while he sleeps like you did with that damn Swan girl?"
"So what if I do? It's not like you can do anything to stop me. Besides, I kinda liked watching Harry and his godson interact."
She crossed her arms and grinned, "Just admit it. You wouldn't mind raising that baby with the human."
If vampires could blush, Edward would have been glowing. But, as it was, they couldn't, so he didn't. "Be silent, you. We're here."
They got out of the car and strode to the door. A few moments after Edward rang the doorbell, instead of Harry answering it, it was a woman with shimmering blond hair and crystal blue eyes. She was exceedingly beautiful for a human. She had flawless skin that glowed and a body that most woman would kill for. "Oui, can I help you?"
They both heard quiet movement inside the house as Edward answered, "We're here to work on a project with Harry."
The blond French woman seemed to recall something, "Ah, of course, 'Arry told me such. Please, come in."
As she let them in, they heard footsteps going upstairs, "Come, you can wait in zee living room. Would you care somesing to drink?"
"No, thank you."
'What the hell? Is she even human? Even I didn't look that good when I was. Dammit, how'd she do it? It can't be natural.' ranted Rosalie in her mind.
Edward held back a laugh as they both sat on the couch, shifting to make themselves seem more human. Harry came down a few minutes later with his bag in hand. Then, instead of sitting in a chair or on a seat, he sat on the floor rather comfortably and placed his things on the coffee table, then asked, "So, how are we doing this."
They spent a while working, though upstairs, Edward could hear the woman, Fleur he supposed, taking care of the baby, who did seem to want to calm down. Footsteps soon came down the stairs and before anyone knew it, Harry had a baby in his lap. "Take hem," said Fleur with a huff, "He will not settle down and will not stop fussing."
The bronze haired vampire watched as Harry cuddled his godson and cooed, "Are you misbehaving for Auntie Fleur, cub?"
'That.. is too adorable!' Edward could hear Rosalie squeal in her mind, 'Oh, I just want to hold him and spoil him to death! Do you think he would miss him terribly?'
"Yes," he said so low that no human could hear it.
"Is this the Teddy that Alice wouldn't stop talking about?"
Rose cooed in her mind as they watched him untangle baby hands from his hair, "Yes, this is my godson. Teddy Lupin."
"It is sad to see one orphaned at such a young age," said Edward before he could stop himself.
He practically melted when Harry nuzzled Teddy's cheeks, "Yes, it is."
"Aren't you a little young to be taking care of a baby?" asked Rosalie.
"It's not as if I'm taking care of him by myself. I have three other people to help me. But Teddy was my godfathers son and I was named his godfather, so I will raise him to the best of my ability."
The conviction in his voice was astonishing. "Forgive Rosalie... she has no tact sometimes."
"Edward!" 'I'm going to kick your ass when we get home. I don't care what Esme says.'
Harry just laughed. 'Just like Malfoy, the bloody prat.'
They spent the few hours working on the rewrite before the two left, Edward somewhat reluctantly. They went home, Rosalie taunting him the entire time. When they pulled up and parked, Rose got out and practically danced into the house. Edward, on the other hand, left his things in the car and took off running in the direction of Harry's house. He made in less than five minutes and took his usual perch in the tree near his window. He could see Harry sitting at his desk with the infant laying on a blanket surrounded by toys and such with a stuffed animal in his mouth. All that was going through Harry's mind at the moment was complex math equations.
When he finished, the sight before him caused Edwards mouth to flood with venom, though he quickly swallowed it down. If it wasn't intentional, he would have thought that the teen was teasing him. He watched as Harry laid down next to Teddy, watching him, with an endearing smile on his face. Then, right before his eyes, though he couldn't believe it, Teddy's hair changed color. It was so subtle thatnt many people would have seen the change, but he did. Harry, is seemed, was used to this phenomenon and just tickled the gurgling baby, "Come on, little man, time for a bath and bed, hm?"
Astonished eyes watched as they walked out of the room. What other mysteries was Harry Potter hiding? A grin encompassed Edwards features. He couldn't wait to find out.
