Bring Me to Life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without thought, without voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
Bring me to Life - Evanescence
Harry whipped his head around in one smooth movement; the Vampires around him winced at the sudden crack that emerged from unused joints. Sure enough there she was, stood by the door to the cafeteria and leaning against the white door frame with a black leather clad shoulder.
"If it isn't Miss Luna Lovegood." Harry stood up to face her head on his arms folded in front of him and a single eyebrow raised to appraise the figure in front of him, "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes."
Indeed she was. Her whole body was covered in padded leather, through which you could still see a slender frame no matter how short she was, Harry realised that if it weren't for her shoulder length blonde hair she would be rivalling Alice. Under her arm she carried a black helmet which seemed too large in her small arms; it was decorated with the 'Harry-Potter-Symbol' as it had been deemed by Britain's Wizarding World, a dark green bolt of lightning. She wore black leather boots with no heel that zipped up to her knees over the thick padding. A small carefree smiled played on her lips and her once distant eyes now held the same guarded expression that every Witch or Wizard wore however her grey iris danced with new found humour.
Harry stood up in one fluid motion and pulled her into a tight embrace. His head was buried in her dirty blonde hair which, Harry noted, usually smelt of cinnamon now smelt strongly of cherries. On nights spent in makeshift muggle tents this used to be the only thing that consoled him as the deaths of the day played clearly through his mind and Luna would in her own strange way pat him on the head like a dog and hum a strange tune. Coincidently this would also be the time that she would promise that things would definitely get better. He had never before allowed himself to hope that it would. It was on a night like this that she told him of what the future would hold, although she wasn't a Seer Harry couldn't help but wonder what other strange gifts she held.
"How did you find me? How did you get here? Is there any more news? Are you okay? Do they need me back in England? How are-"
"Harry!" Luna swatted his shoulder with a little impatience but mostly amusement, "Slow down and leave me time to answer."
"Sorry, I just...wow."
"I have that effect on people. Sirius and Remus told me where you were and plus you forgot about the two way tracking charm you put in that bracelet you gave me for Christmas."
"You knew about that?"
"Of course."
"Well what are you doing here?"
"Someone needs to look after you." She raised an eyebrow at the wizard who shrugged and offered a small smile.
He grabbed her again and pulled her into another bone crushing hug, "I can't believe you're here. Come sit down and meet my new...friends." Harry didn't know quite how to introduce them; they had only known each other for a few minutes and in Harry's life that hardly warranted the label of friends.
"This is Alice," Harry pointed to the young woman that he knew would get on with his strange friend, her face held a look of confusion that seconds later was wiped away by a large smile, "Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie."
"Hello Vampy friends."
The Vampires gave the young woman a small nod of acknowledgement not surprised to know that she knew what they were considering Harry did as well. The exception was the Pixie like female who stood up and dragged the blonde to their table, muttering quietly but rapidly about not being able to see the other young woman arrive. Harry watched with a smile as his best friend placed her helmet on the table in front of her and became caught up in a heated debate with Alice. Harry just shook his head in amusement when he seated himself next to Luna and was instantly brought into the conversation. Though why he would know anything about Italian Leather Shoes he had no idea.
"You should eat something." Jasper said in a surprisingly calm voice which, Harry thought, did not match his exterior look.
"I don't feel very hungry; I'll just grab something when I get home."
"The problem is that you never feel hungry Harry. I blame those no-good, child neglecting, bas-"
"Luna!" Harry exclaimed cutting her off from her tirade, "Please be your usual nice, happy self."
"I can't help it Harry those Muggles just strike a chord in me that is so often forgotten about." The blonde girl smiled dreamily as she looked at Harry.
"I know Sis." Harry smiled and hugged his almost sister to his side in a loving gesture just as someone sat at their table.
There he was again. Edward. His golden Topaz eyes were fixed on the small Wizard. Harry could feel it again. The tell tale throbbing from his core as wave after wave of feral magic consumed his body. Filling his every atom with positively charged elation. His heartbeat picked up and Harry could feel the vampires surrounding him listening to his thumping pulse speed up rapidly. The magic once again thrummed just underneath the surface of his skin beating three times faster then his heart and filling his body with strange magical warmth, it was as though someone had cast a warming charm on his body.
The sound of his magic beating as though it were being pumped from his heart masked his actual heartbeat and the Vampires around him became rather worried for the Wizards health...nobody's heart could ever beat that fast. Harry felt the magic making its way through the layers of skin seeping upwards to the skins surface, igniting a pleasurable fire in his every nerve and causing goose bumps to once again erupt across his body each tiny hair on his arms and body stood on end as though he had been electrocuted. Lunas eyes widened at her brothers magical behaviour, she bit her lip in worry and reached out to touch him....Before remembering something she had read in Hogwarts Library.
"Harry! Harry!" She exclaimed into his ear, "You have to snap out of it, listen to my voice."
Her small hands began to shake as she felt the seeping magic begin to project outwards, "If you don't calm down then you will destroy everything." She assumed this would work, at the mention of hurting others Harry would usually calm down almost immediately and his magic would be siphoned off to one of his safety vessels.
"Harry are you okay?" Edward asked softly, concerned for the small human sat across from him.
Harry bit back a loud moan of indecent pleasure at the smooth beautiful voice that penetrated his brain. Soft, tiny tendrils of pure magic seeped out of his skin to lick against Edwards pale outstretched hand. Unfortunately it wasn't something that could be seen by anyone other then a Witch or Wizard or else every Vampire would have been able to work out exactly what was going on.
"Need to go, sorry." And with that Harry leapt from his seat and fled the dining hall. Leaving behind him a group of very confused Vampires and one very concerned Witch who stared at the place he had disappeared through.
"What happened?" Emmett asked, "Why did his heart speed up and why the hell did he run away like that?"
"I don't know but he was fine before Edward started staring at him." Alice turned an accusing gaze to him.
"I didn't do anything to him and I was not staring."
"Well what was he thinking?" Rosalie asked.
"I don't know...every time I tried to read him it was as though a steel wall was keeping me out."
"What about you Jasper could you read him?"
"Not at first, when he sat down. But after Edward started staring at him- and yes you were staring - I was like an elastic band snapping. He felt so many things and I can't possibly sum them up into one."
"Is he going to be okay Alice?"
"I don't know," Alice sat silently still in absolute concentration as she tried to focus on anything related to the mysterious young man but the only clear picture she could get were Harry's face and a strange green light, "I can't see anything properly...wait...I see a man with...blue eyes and dark hair. Nothing else but he seems to be laughing but not maliciously just in joy."
"You do know I am still here." Luna said with a smile.
"Oh." Emmett said while turning to look at the blonde young woman, "Well what happened to him?"
"I'm not sure and even if I did know I wouldn't have been able to tell you, it's against our Laws. I do know that it's a good thing though. Harry just over-reacted." Luna stood up fluidly and picked up her helmet, "We should go find him."

Harry threw his brand new mobile phone to the ground in frustration, anger and confusion, smashing it into pieces as it hit the tarmac of the road he was walking along. He had tried multiple times during his run to contact someone that could help him, Neville's and even Ginny's phone were engaged and there was only one person left to contact. At that moment he was stood in front of an empty field and from the length of time he had been running and phoning he knew that he must be somewhere near his house although he couldn't see it yet.
A few minutes later and a few meters down the long road Harry found himself calm and in control enough to go to a pay phone nearby and contact Moony's magical enhanced Phone.
"Hello." Harry heard a tired voice, he had forgotten about the unhelpful time changes between the continents.
"Moons, I need your help. I need you to come here straight away...bring Sirius. Please Remus quickly." Harry murmured quickly with a slight desperate note in his voice.
"We'll be right there Cub." Remus said into the phone sounding slightly more awake, before the pay phone went dead. Harry beat at a low nearby wall with balled up closed fists, trying to find an outlet for the untamed magic which still thrummed throughout his body.
Warm strong hands enclosed around his upper arms and pulled Harry around to face them as soon as those arms were wrapped around him Harry fell to his knees on the road, still wrapped in Remus' arms which caused the older male to fall with him.
"We're here Cub. We're here. Calm down now and tell us everything." Remus muttered as he pulled Harry onto his lap and cradled him backwards and forwards in an attempt to stop the tears which seeped out of his Godson-in-laws eyes.
"Sirius?" Harry asked through his sobbing.
"He'll be here in a minute; he was in the bath when you called."
"Right..." Harry trailed off as he returned Remus' embrace, "I'm so confused Remy. I don't know what to do."
"Start with what made you so upset."
"It's kind of complicated." The dark haired Wizard admitted into Remus' shoulder.
"Just explain what you can Cub." Harry nodded before taking a deep breath.
"Alright...Well, there's this person-"
"A male person?" Remus asked with a very Sirius like smirk.
"Erm yeah," Harry blushed deeply before continuing in a quiet voice, "It's happened twice, every time he looks at me my magic reacts. It just bursts out of my core and runs through my entire body and when he spoke to me my magic leapt out to him...Why did that happen? It's never happened to me before."
"Did it burn? But in a good way. Did it make you feel as though you would never live if it stopped?"
Harry looked at one of his Godfathers with weary eyes which spoke of what this young man had to go through in his life before connecting their eyes and saying in the most serious voice he could manage, "Yes."
