Hero

Someone told me love will all save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
That world never came.

And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

Now that the world isn't ending, its love that I'm sending to you.
It isn't the love of a hero, and that's why I fear it won't do.

Hero - Nickelback

"Harry you've found your mate!" Sirius exclaimed excitedly, once he heard the last statement immediately after his apparition into the small Muggle town. He whooped in joy as he swung his Godson up off his Mates lap to swing him around in a wide arch in mid air, "Well done Prongslet! Who is it? When can we meet him? Tell me Harry?" Sirius questioned while firmly shaking the thin shoulders that rested beneath his hands.

"I...I don't know. He's...different-" Harry stammered once Sirius had stopped shaking him and had allowed him to stand unaided.

"Well of course he is, no ordinary person could match up to your wonderfulness."

"You're my Godfather you're biased." Harry grinned at Sirius' large smile. It was almost too large to be natural.

"Well duh. Now tell me what his name is?"

"Ummm...Edward. Edward Cullen." Harry said slowly with a hesitant note in his voice, knowing that if he didn't surrender the information then the unpleasant and rather nauseating experience of Sirius shaking him would begin again.

"And why is he so different?" Remus asked calmly as he slowly stood up and brushed off the dust and dirt from his once clean pants.

"Well, he and his family are Vam..." Harry's sentence trailed off as he caught sight of the five Vampires walking around the corner looking murderous. At least as murderous as vegetarian Vampires could be. They had heard absolutely everything he had said.

"You promised us Harry." Alice cried out obviously upset at his decision to tell his Godfathers their secret and Harry knew that if she were human then tears would have been trailing down her face. But Harry only had eyes for his newly found mate who was looking at him with a confused, angry, gaze. His perfect mouth set into a grim line and his bright eyes narrowed dangerously at the human wizard. Harry's overactive magic once again reacted, this time it was stronger then any of the previous times...it seemed that the danger written all over Edwards pale face was making the young Vamp even more attractive to Harry's subconscious mind.

"Who are you Harry?" Edward asked in a low growl that told of the impending danger the young Gryffindor was in.

Harry felt the erotic groan escape his mouth as though it was being ripped from his chest. He felt his potent magic, that previously was slowly creeping out of his skin towards the male, suddenly burst out to hit Edward as though it were a wide spread invisible explosion or at least a slap on the face. It was unstoppable and irrevocable.

Sirius almost dived to Harry's side as his Godson began to fall limply like a puppet whose strings had been cut. It was a fruitless attempt to catch the weak Wizard before he hit the ground. While Remus after sparing a worried glance to his Godson, headed over to the young Vampires in an effort to explain at least the basics. The Werewolf stopped in his tracks as he sniffed the stench that hung in the air around the Teenagers. In a furious battle of wills Moony forced away his monthly host and leaped to the fore front of Remus' mind to face what he saw as enemies. The Vampires recognised the strong putrid scent immediately; they sensed the moon controlled werewolf inside the human body almost collectively and crouched. Waiting for an attack. Luna was trying to get between them in an attempt to break apart the impending fight. She put a hand on Emmett's shoulder, not to push him back because she knew it would be useless anyway, but to remind him just where he was and what he was doing. She had hoped that this movement would alert Edward and the rest of the coven of their actions.

It seemed like minutes or hours had passed since the teenagers had stepped around the corner but in reality it had only been seconds at the very least. Harry found himself blinking rapidly to clear his stunned mind. He managed to come to his senses just as Moony began to circle the rigid Vampires. Growls were being distributed between the parties as Remus began to take on some of Moony's traits, Harry noticed Remus' eyes begin to yellow and his teeth begin to sharpen. Luna finally realised the futility of her attempts and ducked out from between the two parties to join Harry and Sirius kneeling on the floor.

"Sirius-" Harry murmured in a worried yet weary voice, "Stop Moony...It's my mate-"

"Stay here." Sirius ordered and with a small yet very gentle push Harry was propped up against the brick wall with his hands being held by a worried Witch. He watched Sirius attempt to pull back his submissive mate from the Vampires but Moony resisted sending a fierce growl his way and a furious snap of his teeth.

"Remus Lupin and Moony. I command you to stop." The wolf went to take a step forward towards the group of crouching teenagers, but the invoked bond would not let him due to a precise clause in their bonding contract that had been put in place for one of these very circumstances. The wolf let out a whine of protest as Remus fought his way back to the forefront of his mind and pushing his less then calm alter ego once again to the back. Once the wolf was under his control Sirius pushed him towards Harry while he talked in hushed tones to the Vampires in an attempt to calm the group down. But Alice was by Harry's side in a second, joining the blonde Witch in her worrying.

"Harry, are you alright?" she asked pressing her cold hands to his clammy, pale, face.

"Alice 'm fine. Need Edward." Before she could even turn around to look for her brother, the mind reader was behind her. He motioned with one hand for the girls to move slightly to the side so he could reach the human.

Harry reached up surprisingly quickly due to his incapacitated state, and interlaced their fingers locking them in place between their bodies. The coldness seeping from Edwards body was ignored by Harry in favour of pulling the vampire slightly closer and sighing in relief.

The magical reaction was instantaneous. Harry's strong magic leaped up throughout Edward's unneeded organs to his impenetrable marble like skin. Edward's eyes glazed as he went into a trance that he swore he had never experienced in all his life both mortal and immortal. The bond raced through him alighting his senses, making them even sharper if it were possible. He felt as though he could hear all the way to Japan, run all the way to Italy and see all the way to New York and he didn't know what made him do it but all of a sudden he was gathering the human Wizard in his arms. Edward dragged Harry onto his lap, and cradled him in the crook of his arms while waiting for the magical explosion to subside.

Harry's magic soon settled as did the bond between them. Harry caught his breath after a couple of minutes and looked up into the face of the extremely attractive male above him.

"Hi." Harry whispered softly once his clenched eyes were fluttering open.

"Hey." Edward answered with another confused expression.

"Harry! Are you okay?" Sirius asked rushing to his Godsons side, "Nice to meet you by the way." Sirius grinned at his Godsons mate.

"Yeah Siri I'm fine. That was...Wow."

"I know right that what Remus and I felt when we first saw each other after our seventeenth birthdays." The grin that adorned Sirius' face was enough to affect Harry's frown.

"Where's your family?" Harry asked Edward with a raised eyebrow.

"Remus took them into your house. Hope you don't mind?"

"No, just my car is back in the hospital car park."

"Alice can go collect it later."

"Are you sure."

"Yes."

"Are you two coming in?" Sirius butted in. Harry just nodded and attempted to unwind his body from his mates. Edward held him still and with a fleeting glance looked up to Sirius then back down at Harry. The Wizard nodded in understanding.

"Hey Siri, could you give us a couple of minutes please we'll come join you once we've had the chance to talk."

"Of course Prongslet." Sirius ruffled his Godsons short hair before making his way down the lane to Harry's new yet old house.

Harry looked up into Edwards bright Topaz eyes as the Vampire looked down into the bright green irises of Harry's. The human sat up slowly while still keeping contact with the cold hard skin of his mate. Seeing his mate struggle with pulling himself to his feet Edward took both the hands in his own and lifted the fragile body with extreme care.

"Thanks." Harry murmured as he found his balance.

"Are you going to tell me what happened just now?"

"Can I tell you later, I don't want to scare you away?"

"I doubt that will happen." Edward's mouth curled into a soft smile to mirror the delighted smile of his companion.

"You don't even know me." Harry said.

"Nice to meet you I'm Edward Anthony Cullen."

"Harry James Potter-Lupin-Black."

"That's a lot of names you got there." Edward stated in amazement as the pair began to make their way slowly to Harry's house.

"My birth name was Harry James Potter but my Godfathers who you just saw, adopted me last year."

"That was nice of them."

"Yes, it was rather nice, wasn't it?" Harry's beautiful smile caused Edward to step slightly closer and continue walking.
