Dinner was silent, for the most part. The only sounds were that of silverware clinking on dishes and Luna's absentminded humming. Harry was thinking about earlier that day, wondering when the time to tell his family was good. Just as both Bill and Fleur took a sip of tea, Harry finally just blurted out, "The Cullens are vampires!"

The sprayed from the two Weasleys mouths before they started coughing. Luna just smiled dreamily as Harry laughed. "That was not funny, Harry."

"Sure it was."

"Yes, I agree. It was rather humorous." said Luna.

The two adults glared at the two before grilling them both on what Harry just said. Luna even admitted to knowing about them before they met. "Of course, I couldn't tell you. It was they're right to tell you or not."

Harry just shook his head before asking, "How are things with the La Push pack?"

Luna smiled, "Fine. Everybody is really nice and are happy to have their own seer. Apparently, Alice can't see werewolves."

This intrigued the other three, "Really? Why not?" asked Bill.

"Because she never was one."

It was vague, but they understood. Dinner finished in relative peace. Afterwards, Harry cleaned up and went out his nightly routine. When he finally went to bed, he laid down and got comfortable, snuggling down, getting the blankets and pillows just right and shut his eyes. Five minutes later, after laying there in silence, with nothing going through his mind, he bolted into a sitting position, eyes wide as what was said finally made it through his rather dense mind. "He can read my thoughts!"

A blush spread rapidly across his face before he buried it in his hands.

~*~

By monday morning, Harry had completely forgotten what he had realized the other night. Though people really didn't notice, Harry tended to forget a lot of things fairly quickly. One of the reasons he didn't do so well in school.

He wandered into English, and sat down, barely registering anyone around him. He nodded in greeting to Edward, who was already there and put his head down on the desk, eyes closed. A low chuckle met his ears. A random though ran through his mind about how he wouldn't mind listening to that for a very long time. This time it was a laugh that he heard. Glancing up at the now confirmed vampire, he was met with an amused gaze.

Harry looked at him in askance, wondering what was funny. Edward gave him a rather pointed look before tapping his temple. Confusion lasted a grand total of five seconds before blood rushed to his face, turning it a rather interesting shade of red. "Shut it, you."

"You actually forgot. How could you forget?" amusement laced his voice.

Harry glared, "I may not be able to hurt you, but I can silence you."

Edward chuckled again, but kept silent.

By lunch, Harry had a semi-permanent blush on his face. His mind tended to wander and when it did, it some how tended to wander towards the bronze haired teen. And when this happened, he knew, he just knew, that Edward was listening. Usually, the thought of someone reading his mind pissed him off to no end, but, for some reason, he just could hold any anger towards the vampire.

When he sat at the table with the Cullens and the Hales, Edward had this infuriating smile on his face, one that made him look rather charming. As that thought passed through Harry's mind, his face turned redder and Edwards smiled broadened. The other four watched the by play and Alice couldn't hold back her giggles. "You two are so cute!"

Harry groaned a buried his head in his arms while Edward laughed. 'Keep it up, dead boy. I can still silence you. Or turn your hair bright pink.'

That shut him up. Alice burst out laughing, drawing the attention of everyone in the lunch room. There was silence for a minute before everyone started talking again. Jasper looked at Alice in question, "What was that about?"

"What ever shut Edward up would have happened if he didn't, despite everyone in the room."

"Oh, and what would that have been?" asked Rosalie.

"I would have turned his hair pink," came Harry's muffled response.

Emmett barked out a laugh, "I would pay to see that."

Edward scowled slightly before poking Harry in the side lightly, causing him to twitch. An eyebrow arched and he poked him again. A slight squirm was the response. A grin broke out across the ageless face as nimble fingers danced across Harry's side. The squirmed escalated before the dark haired teen broke out into giggles and laughter. He tried to grab the others hands to stop him but they were moved out of his grasp.

The others watched at he tried to get away, Emmett laughing, Rosalie hiding a smirk, Jasper wondering what the hell was wrong with them and Alice was just happy that everything was going the way she saw. They deserved each other after everything they went though. If only they could figure it out themselves.

By trying to get away from the tickling fingers, he fell off of his chair. Edward caught him and pulled him back up, bring both him and the chair towards him. Harry leaned against the taller teen, trying to catch his breath, his magic protecting him from the inherit cold that all vampires had. Neither of them really seemed to realize how they were sitting. Edward had his arm around Harry's shoulders while Harry was leaning against Edwards side. It was an almost natural position for them, comfortable even.

Harry pulled his lunch out and started to pick at it, popping pieces of his chicken salad sandwich into his mouth. He listened as the siblings talked to each other, in low voices so that those around them couldn't hear them. It was rather peaceful, actually.

He felt movement on his arm and looked to find Edward running his fingers up and down his bicep, almost unconsciously. And since it felt nice, he saw no reason to tell the vampire to stop.

He finished his sandwich and looked to see what else Fleur had packed in his lunch. She had taken to being a stay at home wife like a fish to water. It was rather nice. His eyes lit up in delight at the sight of treacle tart. His most favorite pudding. He took a bite of it and almost melted on the spot. For someone who wasn't used to cooking without a wand or house-elf, Fleur was damn good. An almost inaudible moan of delight escaped, causing the five to look at him.

He had his eyes closed savoring the taste, letting it melt on his tongue. He opened his eyes and saw them staring at him. He blinked a few times and asked, "What?"

"Is it really that good?" asked Jasper.

Harry nodded, "Yes, yes it is."

He smiled and took another bite. He didn't notice the hungry look in Edwards eyes, and it wasn't hungry for the tart that Harry was currently savoring.

Soon after he finished his lunch, the bell rang signaling the end of the period. They all left the cafeteria and went to class.

After school, Harry went out to meet Luna by his car to drive them home, only to find Jacob waiting there. Smiling, Harry went over to his 'sisters' mate. "Afternoon, Jacob. Waiting for Luna?"

The exceedingly tall teen nodded, "Yeah. We're going to Port Angeles this afternoon. She said she need some things."

Harry nodded and leaned against his car, and began chatting about inconsequential things. A few moments later, though, instead of Luna arriving, a rather pissed off looking Edward appeared, growling to low for human ears to hear. "Edward? What's the matter?" a confused Harry asked.

Edward ignored him though. "What are you doing here, wolf?"

"I'm here for my mate, you leech. Got a problem with that?"

Before an argument, or a fight of epic proportions, could break out, Luna walked over, as calm as can be and hugged the irate werewolf. In the blink of an eye, gone was the enraged wolf and in its place was a smiling puppy.

Harry glanced up at the vampire and had to hold back a laugh. He looked utterly perplexed. Shaking his head, Harry looked at the couple and shooed them away with a warning to Jacob that if Luna wasn't home at a proper hour, he would find his entire wardrobe replace with dresses and that anything normal that he tried to put on would turn itself into a dress.

Warning given, the two made their way to the Volkswagen and drove away. Harry looked back up at Edward, who still looked rather stunned and let out the laugh that he was holding in. When he looked at the smaller teen, Harry only smiled and said, "You two will just have to get along if you want to be friends with me."

That being said, Harry got into his car, waved and drove home.

~*~

A frustrated sigh escaped from parted lips as Harry stared down at his math homework. It was mocking him, he knew it was. He knew that he should have taken Arithmacy when they chose their classed for third year and above, but, no, he had to go with that idiot Ron and take the easy way out. Stupid Weasley.

The numbers ran together and formed new equations, none of which made sense. Sighing in defeat, he closed the text book and leaned back in his chair, face turned towards the ceiling. He mentally went through his day, recalling some things he might have forgotten. A blush appeared on his face (he cursed the fact that he was rather pale) when he thought about lunch. It hadn't phased him at the time, but, right now, he was rather embarrassed. Though he did enjoy the way if felt to lean against Edward.

Sitting up straight, he shook his head vigorously. No, don't think about that. That would only serve to make him more embarrassed than he already was, even if nobody knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Right now, though, he wouldn't admit his feelings. He barely knew the guy, vampire, and he wouldn't base what he was feeling on the day that he spent with him. That was how it was with Ginny (a shudder at the mere thought of her name) and he didn't want to go out with someone without knowing how he truly felt about them.

A firm nod and Harry opened his book again, determined to get him mind off of what he was thinking and finish his homework before his teacher failed him.

~*~

The week blurred by, going to fast to notice. The vampires weren't at school for the rest of the week, due to the fact that the sun decided that it didn't like hiding behind the clouds anymore and wanted to be seen.

Harry was rather annoyed. The only people he sat with at lunch were gone and, rather than sitting with gossiping chits, he chose to sit alone. It was rather boring, but at least he got caught up with the novel he was reading.

When Saturday rolled around, Harry was bored out his mind. The even the prospect of playing with Teddy, something that always made him feel better, cheered him up. He knew, he just knew that something bad was going to happen. He just knew. And to quote a show that he became enamored with, his spider sense was tingling.

And something bad did happen. He had just finished feeding Teddy when the door bell rang. Rather than get up and get it like he normally would, he hid in the kitchen and let Bill or Fleur answer it, seeing as how Luna had spent the night down in La Push.

When Bill opened the door, there was a gasp of surprise than an even more surprised, "Mum?"

Harry's eyes widened. "Oh, Bill, it's so good to see you again. I'm sorry it took so long to visit, but we didn't know where you lived," he could see the frown on her face, "and it took longer than we thought to find you."

"What – what are you doing here? And there was a reason you didn't know where we lived."

Ah, the anger was coming and soon the fighting. Oh, how Harry wished to escape, but there was only one exit from the kitchen and that led into the living room. He looked down into the now green eyes of Teddy, who liked to match his looks to Harry whenever possible and whispered, "The she-dragon is here and nothing good can come of that, can it?"

Teddy let out a gurgle and kicked his legs slightly as if to agree with him. Harry nodded and wondered what he could do to get away. He stood and peeked out into the living room. Aside from Mrs. Weasley, there was Mr. Weasely, Ron, Ginny and Hermione. Ah, the core of the 'get Harry together with Ginny' group was here. "Mum, please, leave. What ever you're here for, please, just forget it and go home."

There was an affronted look on the matriarchs face when he said this, "William Weasley, how dare you speak to me in such a way. Now let us in and fix us some tea. We've come a long way and we're tired."

Harry snuck back into the kitchen and went towards a window, looking outside. He vaguely noted that it was cloudy again before Fleur bustled in, a frown marring her perfect features. She was muttering vulgarities under her breath in French as she want about making tea the muggle way, just to take long. She and Harry shared a suffering look when the doorbell rang again.

They could hear Bill get the door. There was a tiny sigh a relief, "Edward, hello. Can I help you?"

Harry's heart rate increased slightly as Edward answered, "I was hoping to kidnap Harry for the day."

You could practically taste the mischief in Bills voice as he agreed and led the vampire inside. Harry finally felt it was safe to make his way out of the kitchen. He didn't even glace at the red heads as he greeted Edward with a smile. 'Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no clue as to what you just saved me from.'

Edward smiled back, extracting a sigh from the three witches in the room. "Go and get ready for you kidnapping, then."

Harry laughed and went upstairs, silently beckoning Edward to follow. He went into his room, setting Teddy on his bed and went into his walk in closet to change. He felt more than heard Edward walk into his room as he changed. "Alice saw that you would be in trouble today, so it was decided that we should save you."

"Well, you have my thanks. Where are we going?"

"I was actually going to take you back to my house, since both Carlisle and Esme want to meet you."

Harry nodded as he walked out, wearing a long sleeve shirt and a pair of blue jeans. "Well, I'm bringing Teddy with me."

Edward only nodded as he followed Harry across the hall to Teddy's room where he changed the infant and packed his diaper bag with more than it should fit. At Edwards questioning look, he replied, "Magic. It's an expanding charm that makes the inside larger than the outside. Very helpful when you're in need of traveling light but need a lot of things."

When he finished, he shouldered the bag, picked Teddy up and went back downstairs, again with Edward following. He avoided looking at the other Weasley's as he bid both Bill and Fleur good-bye and left the house, breathing a sigh of relief. They went towards Edwards Volvo, though Harry knew that he could very well have just run to his house. He had to keep up appearances, though. They got into the car, Harry with Teddy on his lap and they drove off, Edward immediately exceeding the speed limit. Harry relaxed into his seat, enjoying the speed.

They arrived at the house in record time. Harry stared up at it. It wasn't often that he saw a house like this. He could easily see the coven living there. They got out of the car and walked up to the house, Harry looking around at the scenery. They were greeted at the door by an exuberant Alice. "Oh, I knew you would come. I didn't think you would want to stay at the house any longer. I saw that red haired girl do something to you."

Harry scowled, "Ginny. I hate her. She's trying to get me to marry her."

Both vampires scowled, though that disappeared when one that he didn't know appeared. She was an inch taller than Harry himself with caramel hair and a thin yet rounded figure. A smile lit up her heart shaped face, revealing dimples on her cheeks. "Hello. You must be Harry. Alice just wouldn't stop talking about you. And who is this little one?"

Harry smiled back at her, captivated by her motherly nature, "This is my godson, Teddy Lupin."

"Oh, he's adorable. Please, come in, come, come."

She led him to the living room, much to the amusement of Edward and Alice. The two were chatting like old friends, which was odd, because even when he did like Mrs. Weasely, he didn't talk to her like this. It was rather nice.

~*~*~

Edward watched as Harry and Esme talked as Harry set up a place for Teddy to play. "I told you that they would get along."

Alice was still standing next to him. He looked down at her, "Hush. I never said that they wouldn't."

He turned back to watch Harry again. This little creature was intriguing. A mystery. One that he would do almost anything to solve.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A.N.: O.O Wow… my longest chapter. 7 pages minus author note. *sob* If I didn't end it when I did, it would have just kept going. It didn't want to stop.

Oh, I have a poll up on my profile, if you're interested… which I know you will be because you probably like 'Poll? I wonder what it's about?' well, go see! ^^

I don't know the next time I'll be update next. My internet card on my laptop decided to die the other night, so I have to send it in to get it fixed. The only reason I was able to update at all was because I had the foresight to put this chapter on my external hard drive. And this chapter kinda wrung my brain dry.

Btw, not to be mean or anything, but when you review, asking me to update soon won't actually make me update any sooner. It's nice that you like my story and all, but chapters tend to come out when they want to. I do love you all though and in honor of that, the five hundredth review will get a one shot of their choice! Well, within reason. I can't write lemons worth crap and there are pairings that I won't do, which is few…. I'll pm the winner and talk it over with them. Good luck!
