Harry Potter, Twilight 1. Chapter 1

Sad and envious burgundy eyes watched as Edward and Bella embraced and the tall vampire that the eyes belonged to, had a feeling that it would be awhile before either of them let go. What he wouldn't give to be able to live the life Edward lived. Where he didn't have to keep up this farce he has been living since his love found him. It's been fifty years since his Harry became his and Demetri became Harry's. They were forever frozen in their mid-twenties. Demetri is a vampire but Harry is an immortal. He knew Harry was beginning to become restless. Harry was an adventurous soul who loved to learn and discover new things, but since Harry mated with him, he hasn't been out traveling outside of the city. It made Demetri feel like the worst type of mate, but Harry never complains saying new books were always being written and he was able to talk to tourist whenever Demetri begins to feel down and question why Harry was still with him.

Burgundy eyes harden when Edward and Bella moved to kiss. Demetri wonders if the love he shares with Harry was enough that Harry would risk his life for Demetri, like Bella and Edward did for each other. Turning away from the scene, Demetri walked to his room, where he knew Harry would be stretched out on their couch reading his latest Defense Against the Dark Art book. A small smile appeared thinking of how strong his mate was, maybe not vampire strong, but he could easily hold his own against several vampires with his magic and he has taken up learning multiple fighting styles. He has mastered all sword fighting styles thanks to Aro, Marcus and Cauis, and has started to learn martial arts from some of the vampires in guard. Demetri knew without a doubt Harry could take on multiple humans and other creatures and take them out within minutes and not be tired. The joys of training with vampires. Demetri has no idea how Harry was able to charm their leaders but he has and he doubted that they, especially Marcus, would deny Harry anything. It is why right now their rooms were furnished with all of the latest technology and they have their own library.

Chuckling Demetri thinks that from the way he has been thinking of his Harry you would think of him some petite human with pretty eyes. But that was far from the reality, well he does have pretty eyes and he is human but he isn't petite. In fact he is just as tall as Demetri standing at 6' or 6'1 depending if it's a good day or a bad day, as Harry would say. Harry was lean and muscled with broad shoulders and narrow hips and a delicious ass. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Demetri opened their door to see just as he expected with Harry sprawled out reading a book, although it wasn't his new Defense book, instead a book on the United States. Arching an eyebrow, he walked over to the leather couch and stood at Harry's head staring down at him. He saw Harry's mouth twitch, so he leaned further down a few inches from his face. Harry twitched again and Demetri touched his forehead to Harry's and Harry's twitch became a full smile and stole a kiss.

"Hello love, how was the excitement today?" Harry asked mate. Demetri has long since stopped trying to figure out how Harry knew when there was something exciting happening.

"It was ok," he said shrugging his shoulders. He saw Harry frown than glare.

"What happened?" Harry demanded sitting up and tugging Demetri over to the couch. Laying down with his head in Harry's lap he looked away from those warm green eyes.

"Just a vampire being foolish about his singer/mate. Luckily she was able to save him but not without condemning her own life," Demetri told him.

"And this has you questioning something?" Harry's hand slowly stroked through long brown hair.

Closing his eyes, Demetri whispered, "Am I enough?"

The hand paused for a moment then continued, "What makes you think you aren't?"

"You've been alive for 137 years, 87 of those years you wandered and explored. Then you met me. I know that for awhile you were content to rest and be with me, but its been fifty years since you have left."

"So?"

"So, soon you are going to want to wander and leave me behind since it's my duty as Volturi Guard to stay here," Demetri whisper as he started to sit up.

But Harry was pulling him back down and a warm soft hand was brushing his face.

"Love look at me," Harry quietly commanded.

Demetri looked at his mate and saw green eyes burning with love and determination.

"I have lost many people in life, I'm not about to lose or abandon the one person that makes my life complete. I may love to travel but the outside world loses its appeal if I couldn't be without you."

"But I'm holding you back Harry, I know you want to go traveling again."

"I do but only with you."

"They probably won't let me."

"Do you want a change of life my love? Do you want to go explore? Perhaps try a different cuisine?"

"Yes I want a change of life, yes I want to explore, but no I don't want to try a different cuisine, you are too delicious."

Harry leaned down and sought his lips. They were playful nips that soon turned to a heated kiss. Harry broke away and asked, "Is it better when you are in me or me filling you?"

Demetri sat up to straddle Harry's leg before leaning in to answer, "When I want something spicy, I like it when you fill me, but if I want something sweet it is better when I am taking you."

Harry's eyes darkened with lust and Demetri felt his mate's shaft rise fully to the occasion.

"So what are you feeling like tonight Dem?" Harry all but purred, as his hands had wandered down to Demetri's ass.

"A little spicy followed by some sweet."

When morning dawned, a sore Harry was making his way to Marcus. While all three of the vampire leaders adored him, Marcus was the most understanding and protective of him. Harry believed it had something to do with the fact that Harry reminded Marcus of his dead mate Didyme.

Walking to Marcus's room, Harry gently taps on the door.

"Come in."

Harry entered the room and saw Marcus sitting on the couch, Harry convince him to get since it was more comfortable that the previous couch, holding a locket. Harry knew that Marcus was thinking of his mate.

"Hey Marc, which memory are you thinking about?" Harry asks quietly as he sat down, next to him.

"The plans we made to travel the world."

"Oh yeah? You know, I would like to see the world again." Harry heard the sharp in-take of breathe.

"So would Demetri, he hasn't seen it in forever. Quick missions don't count," Harry stated.

"So you would like to leave? Aro may not appreciate it," Marcus said, but Harry understood the meaning behind it: he won't let you.

"Well I was thinking of way that it may be possible," Harry said looking at the portrait of Didyme.

"Oh?"

"Well, how do you know the covens are following the rules the Volturi set?" Harry asked.

"Very clever little one. You are proposing that you and your mate make surprise visits and while taking your time to travel," Marcus complimented glancing at him.

"Well I've had 50 years to learn from the best," Harry told Marcus.

"We will talk to Aro, but lets get this planned out so it will be fool proof."

Harry smiled at Marcus and gave him a huge hug, before excitedly telling him about the plans he had already thought of.

When Demetri finally found his wandering mate, he was amused. Harry and Marcus were playing a game of scramble, and Harry was calling Marcus a cheater. Demetri had a feeling only Harry could ever get away with something like that.

"Damnit Marc, you can't use Greek when we are using only Latin words!" Harry exclaimed.

Marcus laughed and said, "Well, Greek and Latin can be similar, Ry."

"Fine, then I'm using English," Harry said pouting.

"What! That's worse than me using Greek!" Marcus replied.

Demetri chuckled and Harry looked up and smiled when he saw him.

"Hello love, would you like to join?" Harry asked him as he walked over.

"Can I use Italian?" Demetri asked with a smirk hugging Harry from the back

"Bloody vampires not keeping to the rules," Harry muttered.

"You love us though," Marcus said with a laugh.

Harry smiled and said, "Yeah. Yeah I do."

Demetri smiled and nuzzled into Harry's neck.

"So what's this I hear about having an informal audience with the Leaders?" Demetri asked from his position still buried in Harry's neck.

"Oh just something about doing some travelling, you'll have to wait to see what its all about," Harry answered finishing his word, expellimarus.

Demetri was about to protest, but Marcus cut him off, "Just wait, you'll be pleased. Your mate truly loves you."

Sighing Demetri knelt by Harry and buried his face into Harry's side, making him laugh.

Three hours later the scramble game ended and it was time to go talk with Aro and Caius about the plan.

Aro, Marcus, and Caius were sitting on their thrones, with Harry sitting before them and Demetri standing behind him.

"So Harry would did you want to talk about?" Aro asked with a gentle smile. Somehow Harry had wormed his way into his undead heart right beneath Marcus.

"Well, I have currently been reading some of the magical updating texts, that I told you about previously and some of the covens have grown," Harry started.

"Really? Most interesting," Aro commented.

"Right so, I propose an idea that would help you out," Harry paused here, waiting for the ok to continue.

"You have my attention Harry," Aro said giving permission.

"I propose that Demetri and I travel to all of the covens, to take heads counts, gift counts and to make sure that they are honoring the vampire laws. We would keep ledgers and send you updates after each coven we visit," Harry said finished waiting with baited breath.

Aro had a look on contemplation. A few moments later he looked to Marcus who nodded his head, he looked to Caius, who nodded but spoke as well, "We could also have them periodically checking in with The Cullens, to make sure that Bella is still on track for being turned as well as keeping our secret."

Aro once again looked thoughtful before turning back to Harry, "While it pains me to think of losing your joyful company and a great tracker, I agree that it would be beneficial to know how those under our guidance are faring. As well as checking in the Cullens. In fact I would like you to make Forks Washington your base. After checking in with one coven, return back to Forks to observe the Cullens. As I know some of the covens are rather hard to find, you will not be given a limit as long as you check in every two weeks."

Harry had a blinding smile; he was barely able to check himself to give a formal bow and answering, "Yes, Lord Aro, Lord Marcus and Lord Caius. We will not let you down. We will leave two days from now to head to Forks Washington to set up our base."

Aro smiled at Harry and said, "Go and begin your preparations."

"Thank you my Lord," Harry said before turning and hauling his shocked and disbelieving mate out of the room.

"I will miss those two," Aro commented.

"Oh?" Marcus asked.

"Harry is so vibrant and happy that he makes the gloomy Demetri break out of his shell. Plus he always had some of the most interesting facts and games," Aro replied.

"Harry is definitely a source of amusement around here," Caius agreed.

Marcus just nodded and thought of how lonely he would once again be, but it wasn't right to keep Harry locked up. He was so free spirited.

When Harry had Demetri half way to their rooms, Demetri finally broke out of shock and scooped Harry up with a cry of joy, and sprinted the rest of the way, with onlookers looking at them with curiosity.

Spelling their door open, Harry barely had enough time before they were through it and Demetri was slamming the door shut. A second late he was thrown onto the bed being savagely kissed.

Finally breaking the kiss, Harry gasped and panted, he maybe immortal but he wasn't vampire. It didn't deter Demetri though he continued to kiss his face and neck before ripping Harry's shirt off. He was so overwhelmed by the thought of what Harry had done from him, them. That couldn't think of anything to say. Harry showed him, just how much Demetri means to him. He was willing to risk audience with Aro to get them to travel, albeit that he had to do some work, but they would be free from the Volturi. They could travel and go on dates, they could be themselves. That meant more than anything. Harry truly loved him. Filled with so much love for his mate, Demetri captured those perfect lips again and tore the pants that his beloved wore. He felt more than heard Harry whisper something. Reaching down to stretch his mate, he found it lubed and stretched. Harry was just perfect and Demetri thrust home moaning when he felt Harry arch into him. He knew that he wouldn't last long, he was so filled with love and awe that a few thrusts later, both Demetri and Harry were screaming for each other. Collasping into Harry's arm, he was still careful to not lay all of his weight on him.

"Thank you beloved," Demetri whispered, and he was sure if he had been human he would have had tears in his eyes.

Harry looked deep into those soft burgundy eyes and lifted a hand to brush a stray lock, whispering as well, "Anything for you. I treasure and love you the most."

Demetri rolled to the side and Harry pulled him close, allowing Demetri to bury his head into his neck and tangle their limbs together. Kissing Demetri's hair, Harry drifted off to sleep, while Demetri stayed with in his arms thinking about their future.

AN – So what did you think? This was made for Pegase. Pegase asked for another pairing like Harry/Demetri. Let me know if you liked it!


	2. Chapter 2

The next two days flew by for Demetri, although to be fair, he mostly just sat there and watched the whirlwind of his mate. In two days his Harry has bought them both sturdy canvas backpacket that he enchanted to be bottomless. When Demetri asked why he needed one if Harry had one, the answer he was given was, "Every traveller needs a good backpack." Demetri just shook his head and continued to watch to see what else his beloved would do. Harry purchased them a modest home in Forks with vehicles as well. When He mentioned he didn't need to drive and that he didn't know how, all Harry did was answer, "I know." His wonderful mate also made up their passports, license, certificates: birth and marriage as well. Harry was also able to procure to two treasure chest as big a bread box with one of them having Marcus: friend, brother and father carved onto the lid. He then proceeded to once again enchant it to be able to send letters and gift items to and from its brother, the one Harry and Demetri would have in their possession. The most unique thing about the box was that if Harry shrunk an item to send to Marcus it would stay small until Marcus took it out of the box then timed to thirty seconds the enchantments would wear off and return to normal size. When they went to give Marcus the gift, Marcus was in shock. Demetri has never seen Marcus so lost for words.

"Why? How?" Marcus had asked holding the chest as if it was fragile.

Harry just smiled and said, "I know you wanted to travel with Didyme but you weren't able to and now that we are leaving, I know you will be lonely without our company,"

"There's Aro and Caius," Marcus interrupted frowning. How could Harry have possibly know that he would feel lonely?

"True but we have spent more time in your company then them and I see you as brother and as father," Harry told Marcus seriously. Marcus and Harry would often talk about their pasts, Demetri knew all of about his mates past, so he wasn't offended.

"So anyways now we can send you gifts and trinkets from everywhere around the world, and yes I know we don't have to but we're family that's what we do." The fierce look he gave Marcus was enough to stop Marcus from arguing and just gave him a hug. Demeti had a feeling that if Marcus could cry, tears would be running down his cheeks.

"Well I expect quite a bit of gifts and letters than." Harry just laughed and hugged Marcus tighter before letting go.

So now, Demetri was sitting on their bed watching Harry pack their new clothes, which consisted of jeans and khakis along with t-shirts and long sleeves plus some button up shirts. They also have new hiking boots and both have brand new leather jackets.

"Harry, my beloved, why do we need these new clothes?" Demetri asked.

"These are our travelling clothes," Harry answered leaving out an outfit for them for the next day.

"Oh, right," Demetri answered, "but what about the clothes we currently have?"

"Those are staying here."

"So what are we going to wear in Forks?" Demetri asked confused, but he should have just kept quiet, the devious smile on Harry's face was slightly frightening.

"Shopping."

"Shopping?"

"We are going to be travel through some of the biggest shopping places in the world, plus you need new clothes as well to fit in with world."

Demetri looked down at black uniform and looked towards his closet that also contain mostly black clothes that did look a little med-evil. Sighing, Demetri knew Harry was right. Well he did say he wanted change.

"So we are travelling most at night?" Demetri asked trying to keep the conversation going.

"No."

Well that was quick and short, Demetri thought.

"You do remember that I sparkle in the sunlight, right?" Demetri questioned. He knows that he told Harry about that, did he just forget? No that doesn't sound like Harry, his mate never forgets anything about the people he loves. Which by the love is a very short list.

"I'm going glamour you, love so you can see everything our world has to offer."

"I have seen some of it and scene the beauty," he answered.

"But you haven't seen it in the sunlight, and that most of the times makes the difference."

Laughing, Demetri got off their bed and hugged Harry from the back, "I love you."

"I love you too Dem, but I need to finish."

"You have magic Harry," Demetri whisper into Harry's ear.

"Yes, but there is just something about packing yourself and knowing exactly what you are packing that reassures my mind."

Laughing softly Demetri just rested his chin on Harry's shoulder and content to just continued to watch Harry pack manually even if he accio'd something from across the room only to place it in their bags by hand, and if he happened to get an erection from his beloved bending and stretching and rubbing against him well, that wasn't exactly his fault, now was it.

"You know if you rub your stiffy in my ass one more time I won't be held accountable," Harry mentioned casually, placing some socks in Demetri's pack.

Raising an eyebrow, Demetri shifted his hips pressing closer, as if daring his mate.

"Now you asked for it," Harry growled and with a flick of his wrist, Demetri was back on the bed with his wrists tied and naked.

Blinking, Demetri looked at his mate, who was slowly undressing with a saucy smile. When his mate's glorious body was revealed Demetri's length jumped. Then Harry was crawling on the bed with a more predatory smile and Demetri knew that tonight would be a wild one as well as torturing since his hands were tied up and he couldn't touch that perfect warm skin. Maybe he shouldn't have done that last move and he could have had his hands free.

But all thoughts disappear when Harry deep-throated him while slipping two fingers in his entrance. Jerking and moaning, Demetri was lost in pleasure that only his mate knew how to give him.

When morning dawned, Demetri spent the rest of the night curled into Harry's side thinking about their soon to be freedom with Harry curled around him with an arm locked tight against him. When the clock showed 7 am Demetri uncurled from his spot and caressed Harry's side with feather light strokes borderline tickling and Harry squirmed tried to move away from the wandering hand, but Demetri followed and Harry squirmed just right ended up on the floor with Demetri's smiling face looking down at him. Laughing Harry jumped up and proceeded to walk nude to their bathroom while slightly shaking his hips, hypnotizing his mate. Demetri made it into the shower in record time.

Harry and Demetri dressed in tan cargo pants and long sleeved button up shirts, pale green for Harry and pale blue for Demetri and their new boots. The backpacks were the last thing to be shouldered. Harry stood in front of Demetri and ran his hands across Demetri's face and neck, arms and hands coating them in magic. When Harry stood back and looked he had to admit that while normal his mate handsome and sexy, but with healthy looking skin, he had a feeling that Harry might be killing some people.

"So, how do I look?" Demetri asked worriedly, Harry had stepped back a few minutes ago and still hasn't said anything. Demetri started to fidget.

"Harry?" Demetri said waving a hand in front of his mates face.

"Fuck, you're hot!" Harry exclaimed before jumping on Demetri and devouring his lips.

Demetri was a little bewildered and just thankful he was a vampire so he could hold Harry up and eagerly met and returned the kiss.

When Harry broke the kiss, he could see the dazed look on his love's face and snickered. He grabbed his hand and he tugged Demetri out of their rooms with one look back. He would miss this safe haven he has been living in for 50 years but the world and adventure was calling to his soul. Actually it has been calling for the past ten years but without Demetri it held no appeal, but now, now he could heed the call and show his mate the beauty of the world.

Walking down the hallway, Demetri felt the stares from the other vampires. He was out of his uniform, looking human, holding Harry's hand and carrying a backpack. Not typical for Demetri that they all thought they knew. Trying to ignore them, Demetri held Harry's hand tighter. When they made it the entrance they were met by Aro, Marcus and Caius.

"Well look at you Dr. Jones and short round," Marcus greeted. When the movies came out, Harry made them watch them over and over again especially Temple of Doom. Although Harry knew that they were false, but it still represented the adventures he missed.

Demetri groaned and Harry laughed.

Then Marcus plopped a hat on Harry's head and another on Demetri's head. The two looked at each and Harry laughed and Demetri groaned. On Harry's head sat a replica of Indianna Jones hat and Demetri just know it's a baseball hat due to Harry's laugh and the short round joke.

"So Dr. Jones, do have everything ready? Tickets? Deeds? Keys?" Marcus asked, he also thought of Harry as family.

"Yep they are all in my backpack," Harry answered with a nod.

"Jokes aside, let us know of the developments with the Cullens and other Covens," Aro told them.

"We will my lord," Demetri answered.

"Safe and swift travels young ones," Caius said.

"Thank you," Harry and Demetri said and bowed.

With a final hug to Marcus and the duo was out the door and heading to the outside. When they reached the final doors leading outside, Harry stopped his mate and pulled two pairs of Oakleys out and slipped one pair on to Demetri's face and another onto his own, then they were walking in the sun towards the edge of the city where one of the Volturi's humans were waiting with a jeep for them to take to travel to France, where they would be flying out. While they could fly out from Italy, Harry wanted to be able to show mate the cities and countryside.

Demetri was thankful Harry hasn't let go of his hand, since seeing everything in the daylight and walking in the sun was a different experience for him. Usually he only saw things in the moonlight or from the shadows. Looking down at his hands, he was amazed that he didn't sparkle. A feeling of pure happiness bubbled in him and demanded its way out. Letting out a joyous laugh, Demetri pulled Harry close and swung him around eliciting a laugh from him as well. When he finally set Harry down, he pulled their foreheads together and placed a gentle kiss on Harry's lips. He saw Harry's eyes sparkling with happiness and knew that Harry and himself would be traveling for as long as Harry could make it stretch before returning. Turning with a smile on his smile and his arm wrapped around his mate, Demetri headed for the jeep that would lead them to their big adventure.

	3. Chapter 3

Rock music was softly playing in the Jeep as it drove down the road along the coast, they had the top off and windows rolled down so they could enjoy the breeze and the sunlight. They just passed through Genoa, Italy and was heading north east to Turin, although they wouldn't be stopping there. Once they pass Turin they would continue to head northeast towards Lyon, France. Harry did his research though and instead of going straight through to Lyon they would be taking the scenic route through the Vanoise National Park.

Harry glanced over at his mate, and smiled. Demetri was leaning back with the sun on his face with eyes closed and relaxed. Harry knew his mate was awake, but relaxing. It was nice to be able to see him relaxed without the vigorous rounds of sex. Don't get him wrong he loved sex, but it was a rare to see his mate this relaxed without it. Frowning, Harry couldn't help but feel slight guilty about not thinking of this before, but Demetri never told him that he wanted to go traveling, but then again this may not have worked if the stupid Cullen boy had never tried to off himself. Sighing Harry ran a hand through his wild hair made worse by the wind.

"What's the matter beloved?" Harry looked to see Demetri looked at him with one eye opened.

"Just thinking that I should have tried to get us out of there before now, but I just realized that it wouldn't have work until that idiot Cullen."

Demetri was silent then asked, "Why do you think he was an idiot?"

Huffing, Harry tucked a bang behind his ear, "Well first off, just because someone told him his singer was dead doesn't mean that they didn't get the facts straight."

"But he confirmed it with another call," Demetri said confused not with what his mate was saying but also how Harry knew the full story, he was present and Demetri hadn't told him the whole story.

"Pssh, I would have traveled to where ever you were that you supposedly died at and checked myself before admitting that you were dead, then I would have tried several different ways of bringing you back still sane and intact before killing myself. But even then to go to the Volturi when you have a gift is a stupid idea. The best way would be to go to another coven and fake an attack on the coven's leader's mate. Almost instant death in some of the more secluded covens, then again I'm a fighter so it would have taken quite a few of them to take me down, so maybe I would continue to live and search for your reincarnation hoping that you would still love me."

Demetri was shocked. He shouldn't be since he knew Harry wouldn't go down without a fight, and that Harry didn't know the mean of defeat, but to have some sort of plan was the biggest shocking part. Demetri cocked his head sideways to stare at his mate. There have been very few times he has seen Harry this pensive. Now he wondered if those time when he had seen Harry like this if he had been thinking of Demetri dying. Demetri was trying to think why Harry would think of things like that, before it clicked. Before Harry had met Demetri, most of the people Harry had loved had been claimed by death, whether by accident, old age or murder. Of course he would worry about Demetri's death, although the chances of Demetri dying were very, very slim, it was still a possibility. Demetri on the other hand never worried about Harry's death since he was the Master of Death hence his immortality but he had been more worried about Harry growing weary and tired of him. Demetri couldn't remember anything from his previous life but the fear of abandonment. It partially explains why he would be an excellent tracker.

Still staring at Harry, Demetri watched him as he drove and bobbed his head to music, seemingly content to be in his company. He knew Harry loved him, he showed it with everything he did for Demetri and hearing what he would do if the news reached him that his mate was dead helped take away the fear of Harry abandoning him. Maybe he didn't want the love that Edward and Bella shared, since they gave up to easily until it was almost too late.

Demetri had been so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed when they left the coast and was driving through mountains and surrounded by trees until Harry called out his name and pointed to something.

"Look there's an alpine ibex!" Harry pointed out with glee.

Looking to where his beloved pointed Demetri saw basically a goat with darker fur and horns that curled backwards. There were some more after that before Demetri saw a weird animal. Frowning he asked, "What that one? The one that looks likes a goat that had sex with antelope?"

Laughing Harry replied, "Chamois."

"Huh, should be goatelope," Demetri stated and gave a small smile when Harry laughed once more.

The rest of the drive Demetri continued to point out the Chamois, or goatalope. As they were leaving the Park Demetri spotted a weird looking hawk. That had beard.

"Why does that hawk have a beard?" Demetri asked. He seriously has never seen one before, and quite frankly it looked bit ugly and creep.

"That my silly mate is a bearded vulture."

Looking back at the bird, he couldn't help but think that maybe Harry has brain washed him with all of those Looney Tunes and other cartoons he was forced to watch, because that bird did not look like a vulture to him.

When they reached Lyon, they stopped for a gas and potty break for Harry as Demetri looked around for some food for Harry. He knew Harry loved Mt Dew and potato chips. Looking around he spotted the Mt Dew and when he searched for potato chips there were so many different types. Since he couldn't chose he picked one of each and brought his items to the counter. The cashier looked at him like he was crazy, but Demetri didn't say anything only glared and waited for Harry. Thankfully the wait wasn't long and Harry stood right by him and paid for the food and gas.

Getting in the jeep, Harry asked, "Ok so what did you pick out?"

"I got you some Mt Dew but I didn't know what potato chips you liked so I got you a variety," Demetri said slightly nervous. Even after 50 years he still worried if Harry would like what he picked out. He was always a nervous wreck before any type of gift giving.

"Sweetness, I've been dying for something different from the same ones from Volterra, they never change they selection."

Demetri smiled and relaxed. This time away from Volturi would be good, he will be able to learn more about his mate.

The drive to Beaune that was just outside of Dijon, was an interesting one as Harry tried all of the different type of chips, there were some he loved and would have licked the bag if Demetri hadn't stopped him and taken it away, and there were others that had both Harry and Demetri gagging from the smell. So far the one the Harry liked best was an America brand, Lays Kettle Cooked Jalapeño.

When they finally made it to Paris, Harry and Demetri were excited, Harry more so since he had done some more research and found a vampire chocolatier. It was a very well-kept secret and only a few know of him being a vampire. Luckily Harry knew the right people. *coughgoblinscough* Demetri because this was the city of Love, he has read about it for years wishing he could take Harry here. When Harry finally found the chocolatier named Rick Poger* he quickly parked the jeep and was pulling Demetri out of the vehicle and into the shop. Enter the shop Harry's eyes bugged and tried to take in all of the confections, giving Demetri an apologetic smile, Harry started tearing through the shop looking at all of the candies and trying to decide which one he wanted to buy. Demetri followed his sweet crazed mate at a more sedated pace looking at all of the sweets as well.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Harry Potter the savior," a voice called out and almost instantly Demetri was on edge, very few people now a days know what the name Harry Potter meant and could recognize him.

In a flash Demetri was in front of his mate with eyeing the brown haired man with extreme weariness and paranoia.

The man chuckled, and said, "Stand down, I mean no harm. Its not every day that one gets to meet thee Harry Potter."

That so did not calm down Demetri it just put him more on edge.

Harry was also weary but more calm and said, "Hello Rick, I hear you make treats for vampires."

Demtri was slightly confused did Harry know the man?

"No, love I have never met him but some of my informants told me about him and his unusual delights."

"Rick Pogers, the vampire chocolatier at your service. How can I help you and your vampire mate?" Rick asked.

"Well, we will start off by buying one of everything human, and two of everything vampire."

If Rick was slightly shocked by the order he didn't say anything and in 10 minutes Harry had his order in three different boxes. One for him, one for his mate, and one for Marcus. Casting a preserve charm on all of them he paid Patrick and got his business card for future purchases. Walking out, with their purchases Harry couldn't help but smile at his protective mate. There were times that he had desperately wished for someone like Demetri when growing up, so now that he finally had him, Harry didn't take him for granted.

Once they were back in the jeep, Harry grabbed his pack and got out the chest and wrote a quick note saying that the chocolates were safe to eat and that Marcus better enjoy them, before shrinking the box and put both items in the chest and closing the lid. Replacing the chest back into his pack and the pack in the back, Harry turned to Demetri with a pure love shining in his eyes.

Demetri had been staring out at the busy streets, when he felt someone staring at him, looking towards Harry and saw the love filled eyes and Demetri melted. When they had been in the shop, his vampire instincts had taken over, and nothing but the need to protect his mate was coursing through his undead body. Afterwards he had been slightly ashamed at how he acted, but to be fair he hasn't dealt with this type of socializing before. He, for the longest time, has been a guard and everyone knew back at Volterra that Harry was his. So when they had gotten in the jeep, Harry had been quiet and sending the goods to Marcus, Demetri had been thinking that he had disappointed Harry, but now seeing the love in his eyes, Demetri was beginning that maybe he had done something right.

"Do you have any idea how much I love you Dem?" Harry asked leaning towards him.

"Yes, as much as I love you," Demetri said without hesitating while leaning in as well.

"Do you know how long I have wished for someone like you?" Harry asked mere inches away from Demetri's mouth.

"No," Demetri answering bring their lips to just barely touching.

"Since I was a little boy wishing on every star for someone to protect me," Harry whispered.

Demetri heard what Harry said and couldn't hold back, he pressed their lips together and desperately ravaged them. He threaded his fingers through the wild mane and pulled Harry closer. Harry answered in kind just a desperate and perhaps more needy. When Harry became desperate for air, Demetri pulled back and looked Harry in the eye and told him, "I'm here now, and nothing will keep me away."

Demetri saw a tear slip down Harry's cheek and he wiped it wipe with the pad of his thumb. He swore that Harry would never wish for another protector as long as he shall live, which ironically is forever. When Harry smiled and Demetri felt like everything was right in the world and nothing could stop them.

"So are you ready for some shopping?" Harry asked innocently as he started the jeep.

Demetri just groaned good naturally and said, "Lead onward."

If there ever was a time that Demetri had wished he had told his mate no was when they entered the Galerie Layfette, shopping mall. Several levels high and not an empty store in sight, Demetri groaned once more.

It was several stores later and what felt like a thousand tried on pants and shirts that Demetri realized just how much his mate was a devil crazy shopper. After every store they have had to duck into the nearest bathroom and shrink there packages and place them into one of their packs. It was after they had found a leather store and bought several different leather pants and boots, did Harry finally stop, and it was only because they had 3 hours before their plane left. Demetri was physical pulling Harry away with promises that they will return someday.

When they made it to the Paris Orly Airport, it was a zoo. People were rushing left and right and it was only because Harry's hand that Demetri did not lose his mate. Then again if that came down to it, Demetri would just put his skills as a tracker to use, but it was still nice to be connected to Harry. After their check-in they proceed to security, when Demetri asked, "Won't they notice something wrong with the bags?"

"Nope I charmed them to appear like any other normal bag," Harry said taking off his shoes, and emptying out his pockets.

Demetri followed Harry's lead and they made it through security with ease. Then they were booking it for their gate. Check-in and security had taken quite a bit of time and they now only had forty minutes to find and get to their gate.

Twenty minutes later and a few point me charms with a pen, they finally found their gate. Sitting down to wait for boarding, Harry sat down with huff and said, "Next time we leave from a smaller airport."

Demetri just nodded and was thankful that he had fed from Harry the night before they left.

"Attention First Class passengers on the flight to New York, please come forward."

Harry got up grinning and Demetri was confused. When they found their seat, it was in the front of the plane with spacious seats with more cushions. Demetri looked down the aisle to further back in the plane and saw smaller seats with fewer cushions crammed together. Turning back to his mate, Demetri just smiled. Like has said before, Harry was perfect. Leaning his head back and grabbing Harry's hand, Demetri closed his eyes and focused on his mates smell and relaxing.

Halfway through the flight he felt a blanket being laid over him and a hand at his pants opening. Opening his eyes, he saw his beloved had moved closer and the hand that he was holding no longer there, he lifted the blanket up just enough to see his mate's hand unzipping his zipper and slipping his growing member out of its resting place. Gentle strokes quickly brought his length to full mast. Turning his head to his Harry, he had enough time to see the predatory grin before, Harry was out of his seat and beneath the blanket. A warm mouth covered his erection and Demetri did his best to hold in his moans and grunts as Harry bobbed up and down. Harry pulled for a moment and said, "Silenced us, so moan all you want darling," and with a wink Harry went back to lavishing his member his warm mouth. As Demetri was closer to cumming his cock would twitch a tall tell sign, signaling Harry and a second later Demetri's erection went down Harry's throat and that was the end for Demetri, crying out his mates name, he came shuddering and arching into Harry's mouth. When he was done, he collapsed back into seat and he felt Harry tuck him back in before seating back in his own seat, with a smile that looked like the cat that got the canary or cream in this case.

"Welcome to the Mile High Club love," Harry whispered in his ear.

"What is the Mile High Club?" Demetri asked with confusion.

"It basically mean you had sex on a plane," Harry explained.

"Oh, I like this club," Demetri stated with a dopey smile. Harry laughed and snuggled into Demetri's arm and slept the rest of way as Demetri held Harry close waiting for the plane to land.

When they finally landed in New York it was hustle and bustle to make it to their next flight, Seattle Washington. Demetri was still pretty relaxed from the unexpected blowjob and from being in America way from the Volturi, so he was pretty content to just hold his mates hand and follow. On the other hand Harry was getting pissed. They have been trying to get to their gate for the past twenty minutes. The problem? Some huge family and friend gathering was happening right in the middle of the hall and no matter how many times he politely asked to get through or telling them to get the 'Fuck OUT of the WAY', they wouldn't move, so that left only one option. To barge through, looking for a weak opening and he went for it, dragging Demetri as well cursing the whole way, which amused Demetri to no end. He's heard Harry curse before but never to this extent in one breath. It was rather funny. When they finally made it through stupid crowd, Harry stumbled and Demetri caught him. Harry took a huge gasping breath and Demetri looked at him worriedly.

"Be lucky you don't have to breathe. Fuck some of those people need to bathe. AND what the hell? It was like they didn't even care that I was pushing them and lecturing them. Stupid morons, it definitely wasn't like that when I travelled on trains. Next time we are fucking apparating or illegal portkey." By the end of his rant they had made it to their gate just in time to board. Sitting down once again in first class, Harry let out a huff and Demetri just laughed.

"So what is the plan when we get to Seattle?" Demetri asked trying to get Harry to quite grumbling about idiots with no manners.

"Huh? Oh! Well my car should be waiting for us then we head to Forks, Washington. Then we head to our home, which should be completely furnished," Harry explained with a smile.

"Harry, love how did you get all of this setup? Not that I'm questioning it, but from the sounds of it, it should have been impossible to do in two days," Demetri asked, he knew that Harry had secret contacts that preferred to be unknown.

"Ahh, well you know that I hardly have anything to with the wizarding world correct?"

"Yeah."

"Well I still keep my money and business accounts through Gringotts. They are discreet and make the impossible happen, not only because I was the savior but also because before I met you, I retrieved Goblin made artifacts. Before you ask, no it wasn't like Indiana Jones. The bonus of retrieving those things, was that I am officially thee richest man in the world."

Demetri knew his mate was rich, but not that rich. Hmmm, he is going to have to relearn some parts of his mate. Not any of the fundamentals but the little things that don't crop up in conversation when you are stuck in the same place and city for half a century. It was slightly depressing that he didn't know his mate as well as he thought, but Demetri was that more determined to find out.

Landing in Seattle it was night and it was a little better than New York. They quickly made their way to the front. Since they already have their bags and the keys, Harry and Demetri went to the front desk to find out where Harry's car was parked. The worker told them that they would have the car pulled up to the front for them. Thanking the worker, they went out in the front to wait.

"So what type of car did you love?" Demetri asked.

"You'll just have to wait and see," Harry answered bouncing trying to look for his car.

Demetri shook his head at his beloved, sometimes it was hard to believe that he had lived through wars, and dangerous adventures and could still be so happy and carefree. He turned his thoughts to what car, could possibly have Harry this excited. The only car he knew of that Harry got excited over was the Porsche 911 Turbo from Need For Speed video game. Demetri snorted remembering when Harry saw one in real life in Volterra. Harry had practically drooled and wouldn't stop talking about for days.

"It's a 911 Turbo isn't?" Demetri asked watching Harry bouncing stumble and the look of shock spread across his face.

"How did you know?" Harry demanded when he was finally over his shock.

"It's the only car you talk about and you wouldn't be jumping around like a kid if it some regular car," Demetri answered wrapping his arms around Harry's waist.

A look of pure happiness spread across Harry's face and then Demetri was being kissed. Not passionately or hungrily but one that was gentle and full of love. The only reason the kiss was broken was because a green with silvers stripes 911 Turbo pulled up.

Demetri and Harry turned to look at the car and…

"FUCK YEAH!" Harry shouted bouncing again. Demetri smiled once again at his mate and went to the passenger side and got in waiting for Harry to finish inspecting his car. It was 10 minutes later when Harry finally got into the driver's seat with a sigh, another 10 minutes before they left since Harry was figuring out everything in his car. Which turned out to be a good thing since Harry was able to figure out the GPS, and he was able to navigate out of Seattle to Forks without getting lost.

The ride wasn't too long, since Harry sped the whole way and the car was once again silent except for the soft rock music. The silence though was a happy one. Harry was happy because of his car and Demetri was happy that Harry was happy.

It was early morning when they reached Forks and a few minutes later they were pulling into a modest looking two story house. From what Demetri could tell it was white with green trim and the lawn was beautiful with several flowers and bushes. Parking the car, Harry and Demetri grabbed their bags and headed to the front door. Harry reached into a side pocket of the pack and grabbed the house keys. Unlocking the door, Harry went in and searched for a light. Flipping it on, Demetri was in slighty awe and dropped his pack on the floor next to him. The exact same leather couches were present in the living room and the entertainment center was exactly the same. There were even pictures of Harry and Demetri scattered about. There was one particular picture though made Demetri wish he was human. In a black frame sitting on the mantle of the fireplace was a picture of Demetri and Harry. It was their bonding ceremony. They were both dress black robes with white trim and they were looking at each with such happiness that, anyone who saw it, saw the love and happiness and pure devotion to each other.

Harry saw what Demetri was looking at and a soft smile appear as Harry quietly made his way over to Demetri and wrapped his arms around his love, and softly kissed his neck.

"I still remember that day as if it happened yesterday. I also remember that way you made love to me. So soft and tender, as if I was so precious and fragile," Harry whispered softly.

"I was scared that if I went too hard or rough that you would break and leave me forever alone in this bleak world," Demetri answered just as softly.

Harry's arms tightened around Demetri placed his lips near Demetri's ear and softly said, "I won't break or die and leave you. It would take far more than death to tear me away from you." A gentle kiss was placed beneath Demetri's ear and Harry whispered once more, "This is the start of a new adventure, it would only be right to celebrate it the same way we did that night."

Demetri turned around and stared into his beloved's eye and saw the tender gaze. He picked Harry up and asked where the room was. That night it was slow and tender. Filled with love that only a few have ever known.

AN – So they are finally in Forks, and Rick Poger was based off a real chocolatier, Patrick Roger, have no clue if he is a vampire or not but it makes it fun since, Harry isn't a baker in this story. Also the Galerie Layfette is a real place too. If the drive time and flight are off or unbelievable, I apologize I don't know the correct timing. So anyways what do you think of this chapter?

Thank you to all of you who reviewed, they seriously make my day when I read it, so thank you: webpixie, xDarklightx, Rainbow2007, Mokushi Ryuu, WyrdSmith, leobutler, Pegase, Lily887787, Deviously Ruined Rose, and namikaze natsumi-hime


	4. Chapter 4

Harry and Demetri were walking out back in their yard. There wasn't a fence to show boundary lines so they continued to walk holding hands. They had finished unpacking all of the clothes that they, meaning Harry, had bought in Paris and had decided to go for a walk to see their property and set up the basic wards, such as anti-apparation, intruder alert, and a ward that Harry designed his self, the unfriendly ward. This little baby was a doozy, those that weren't classified as a friend or weren't invited in were thrown onto to their asses and a farting hex was placed on them, a second time offender was charmed to tell the truth, and a third time offender, well everyone has learned their lesson form the first two times that no one knows what happens only Harry does.

"You know Dem that Aro has given us two weeks to get step up," Harry casually mentioned while looking at the trees.

Demetri glanced to the side to look at his mate as he tugged Harry's hand to bring him closer and wrapped his arm around Harry's shoulder.

"Oh?" Demetri asked playing along.

"Yep," Harry popped the 'p' and snuggled into Demetri's side.

"So I take it you have plans?" Demetri asked with a smile.

"Mmmm," Harry answered.

"Are you going to explain?" Demetri questioned with a nudge.

"You. Me," Harry started.

"I like this already."

Pinching Demetri who acted along and flinched, "Prat,"

"My apologies beloved, please continue," Demetri waved with his hand.

With a mock glare, Harry continued, "You, me, naked, only stopping for my human needs," Harry finish with a blissful sigh.

"While that sounds wonderful, wouldn't we need a week to start searching for a coven? Plus time to prepare for the travel?" Demetri asked, smiling at Harry's put out expression.

"True, fine. Our nights will be you, me and naked. During the day will plan and investigate except for on Tuesday and Thursday we are exploring our home base. Deal?" Harry compromised.

"Deal. Now where are we really going? Our direction hasn't changed and I know that our property was only 50 acres."

"Damn those tracker instincts," Harry said with a teasing glare. Demetri just smirked.

"One of the reason's you love me," Demetri replied groping Harry's ass. Harry laughed and threw a leg over Demetri's hip and pressed closer, softly nipped on Demetri's neck causing him to shiver.

They were about to kiss before they heard footsteps and a chirpy, "Hello".

"Damnit," he muttered laying his forehead against Demetri's, Harry called out, "You know for being a seer you have crappy timing Alice."

"For being omnipotent you should have known Harry," Alice stated with her hands on her hips.

"I was distracted by my ultra-sexy mate. He has thee most amazing hands," Harry quipped still leaning against Demetri. Harry press his lips against Demetri and mouthed two words, 'play along' making it seem like a kiss.

Alice frowned, "I didn't know you had a mate? He has never been shown to me. Weird."

Harry smirked and turned to stand in front of Demetri and faced Alice and her mate Jasper who was standing there awkwardly.

"While my life has never been my own, I endeavor to make sure that my mate has his privacy and his life isn't open to scrutiny."

"Touché," Alice answered and continued, "This is Jasper, I'm sure you know since I can't do the same for my boyfriend as you have done for your mate," Alice said teasingly.

Harry has been staring at Jasper since he had first turned around. There was something familiar about that struck a chord with deep within him. It wasn't until Jasper met his eyes that Harry knew what it was.

"It's nice to meet a fellow war veteran," Harry greeted, stepping to the side, Harry pulled Demetri forward and slipped an arm around his waist and rested in Demetri's pants pocket and Demetri did the same. Harry introduced his mate, "This is my wonderful mate, Demetri. Demetri the short black haired pixie is Alice Cullen and the taller blond is her mate Jasper."

"Charmed," Demetri said lifting an eyebrow, a war veteran?

"Likewise," Jasper added.

"Harry, are you planning on coming over to meet the rest of the coven?" Alice asked.

"You should know the answer," Harry answered.

"Well you are of two minds currently, you either are meeting them or having a sexathon here in the forest," Alice replied.

"Harry," Demetri warned. While he didn't mind having sex outside, it would be a new experience but he knew Harry was just messing her head.

"Fine," Harry muttered and Alice clapped her hands, "Excellent! If you'll follow us?" and Alice and Jasper started walking to their house with Harry and Demetri following them.

"Harry?" Demetri asked/demanded.

Harry looked towards his mate and saw the anger and confusion. Pulling them to a stop, Harry turned and faced Demetri. Stepping closer, Harry laid his arms on Demetri's shoulders and Demetri rested his hands on Harry's hips.

"Love, we have to keep an eye on them so we have something to report back, and meeting them would be a better choice than spying on them. Plus I think Jasper is having a tough time being a vampire."

Demetri frowned and asked, "What makes you say that?"

Harry was thoughtful for a moment before he answered, "You accept that you are a vampire correct?"

"Yeah?" Demetri answered drawing it out not knowing where this was going.

"And you just travelled with hundreds of muggles and did any of their smell tempt you?" Harry questioned looking deep into Demetri's eyes.

"Only a once or twice but it was like seeing something cool but not really wanting it," Demetri replied still confused.

"Exactly unless you are desperate to feed but even then you are able to curb your urges, right?"

"Yeah, but you are also near most of the time."

"So we're mated, you accept that you are a vampire and you don't have that much of a problem correct?" Harry summed up.

"Your point beloved?" Dememtri said getting annoyed.

"My point is that Jasper is mated but he looks like he is constantly in pain, which means…" Harry trailed off hoping his smart mate caught on.

"That he hasn't accepted his vampire side. What would be holding him back?" Demetri pondered.

Harry gave a sad smile and whispered, "Because his first years as a vampire he was used as a weapon. It's holding him back until he can overcome his beliefs that he is still a weapon and that he deserves to be free and live his life. Alice has helped but he needs to talk. He needs friends that he can relate to."

Demetri understood what Harry meant. Harry himself was used and trained as a weapon before he finally broke free of his own courage and stubbornness and Demetri knew what it was like as well, until he met Harry.

Demetri brought their foreheads together and gave a slight peck and said, "We'll help him, love."

Harry gave a half smile and whispered, "I love you Dem. You are first in my heart always. You before anyone, remember that."

"I know," Demetri whispered back and he did know. Harry always made sure that Demetri was fed and his clothes were always set out and waiting. After a tiresome day with the other vampires, Harry was always right by the door waiting for Demetri to walk through and take him into his arms.

Harry placed a sweet and gentle kiss on Demetri forehead than his mouth before wrapping an arm around his shoulder and guided him to the Cullen household.

When they finally made it to the backyard, Alice was inside and Jasper was waiting for them.

Quirking an eyebrow, Harry said, "And what have we done to deserve your fine company to wait for us?"

Jasper looked around from a moment and walked closer to Harry and Demetri. When he was just a few inches away, Jasper asked in voice just high enough for them only them to hear, "How did you know I was a war veteran? And how did you know that I was having problems?"

Demetri could see that it was hard for Jasper to ask and took a closer look seeing the pain lurking in those amber eyes. He understood what Harry didn't mention.

Harry smiled but Demetri beat him to it and answered, "We've been together for 50 years and I still don't understand how he knows things. I don't question it. You shouldn't either. It'll just give you a headache as he spins in circles through his explanations."

Demetri offered a small smile and Jasper returned a wan smile. Harry had a gentle smile and poked his mate, "Don't give out my secrets, love. To answer your question, anyone can see the pain in your eyes and you carry yourself as a veteran, very much I did and to some extent still do."

Jasper smile turned to a frown and asked, "Is it that obvious?"

Harry smile turned sad and replied, "Only to those who understand."

Jasper turned to look at Demetri and Demetri gave a sad nod.

"So does Alice know?" Jasper questioned looking frightened and nervous.

"She and others believes it due to blood lust you feel not that actual memories and inner turmoil," Harry answered softly, he knew what it was like to try and hide your troubles.

Jasper sighed and rubbed his hands over his face.

"Hey, don't despair we can help you through it, after we went through it ourselves," Harry told him in a cheery tone, clapping a hand on Jasper's shoulder.

Jasper looked at him like he was crazy.

"It's true, he helped me and if there is anyone out that could help you it would us," Demetri stated in neutral tone.

Jasper eyed the two before wearily reaching out his hand saying, "So friends?"

Harry took the hand and replied, "One better: war buddies."

When Harry released Jasper's hand, Demetri took it and said, "Don't mind my mate, one too many knocks to the head but I love him."

Releasing hands, Jasper laughed saying, "Comes with the territory I believe."

Harry laughed and draped his arms around Demetri retorted, "Jeez, no sympathy from my mate and none from my new friend. Unbelievable," Harry muttered that last part into Demetri neck.

"C'mon you need to meet the rest of the family," Jasper said shaking his head as he walked into the house.

Harry still had his head on Demetri's shoulder when Demetri told him, "C'mon it was your idea."

"Fine but you have to carry me," Harry mutter jumping up onto his mate's back and wrapping his legs around Demetri's waist.

Laughing Demetri just grabbed his own arms under Harry's ass and walked inside.

AN – The person i originally made this for was torn between Harry/Dem and Harry/Dem/Jazz, so i made this alternate one as well. Plus i think it will be interesting to how the characters grow from a friendship bond and romantic bond. SO let me know how you like it!


	5. Chapter 5

When Harry and Demetri entered the living room with Harry riding piggyback, Alice and Jasper chuckled maybe this would a fun couple to get to know, especially if they could help Jasper. As they took their seats, Jasper noticed how well they acted nonchalant as they sat on the couch next him and Alice. A more accurate description would be that Demetri sat on the couch with his legs planted firmly on the ground with an arm resting on Harry's leg and the other laying near Jasper, while Harry took the armrest and practically sprawled out on it like he had no care in the world with his arm reaching behind and around Demetri on the back on the couch. It looked as if they owned the place and had no reason to fear anyone, but their emotions and action spoke a different story to Jasper. The careful poses were design for quick movements and to protect each other, in case the other vampires were hostile with them. Their emotions were chaotic; Demetri's was worry, paranoia, happiness and a love so strong that it knock Jasper's breath away a moment, but Harry's nearly knocked him over. Harry's emotion were turned down, so low that at first Jasper couldn't really get a feel for them, then he accidently on purpose caught Harry's eye and Harry playfully winked. Then an explosion of emotion came at him, acceptance, worry, determination, weary, hope, fear, happiness and just like Demetri's a fierce love that left no doubt that Harry loved Demetri. When Jasper had to lean back from the intenseness of Harry's emotions they were once again muted and Harry was playing with Demetri's hair. He could still feel Demetri emotion but they were also toned down. When he felt a shift on the couch he looked over to see Harry sitting on the otherside of the couch between the armrest and Demetri. Looking closing at Harry he saw Harry's lips tightened a fraction, maybe he should start paying attention to what was being said. 

When Harry and Demetri took their tactical spots, Harry looked around the room and saw Edward and Bella huddled together, he saw a tall blond female sitting primly by an even taller brown headed man relaxing next to her and across from Harry was another blond man and petite woman. Harry felt someone trying to read him, but it wasn't his thoughts, looking over at Jasper he noticed that Jasper was looking at him and Demetri like he was trying to figure something out. It was when they made eye contact that Harry figured it out that Jasper was reading his emotions. Winking at Jasper he let loose his emotions for a minute before reining them back as Harry started introductions.

"Hello Carlisle, I'm Harry and this is my awesome mate Demetri," Harry started off confusing Carlisle, which amused him to no end.

"Hello Harry, I see were at a slight disadvantage, if you already know our names?" Carlisle asked slightly weary.

"I do know your names, the model blond is Rosalie and the large man beside her Emmett, and your mate's name is Esme. I have already met Alice and Jasper and it's the couple of the hour Edward and Bella," Harry snickered at their befuddled faces and nearly fell off the arm if Demetri hadn't caught him and pulled him onto the couch.

Carlisle was still weary since the only warning he had of their visitors was when Alice came in ten minutes ago, telling him and the rest of coven that very important guests are here and to behave. While they normally don't question Alice, Carlisle had to admit that is put him far out of his comfort zone. So far Carlisle believed that they were being good, till he saw Harry frown and a sharp gaze to Edward. Carlisle sighed; hopefully this won't blow up to epic proportions.

Harry had caught his breath from laughing and smiled his thanks to his mate who rolled his eyes and grabbed his hand, when he felt some one banging on his mental barriers. Frowning he looked around and saw Edward was staring at him with a slight frown, his own frown turned to a glare and lowered his first barrier down a notch so he could tell Edward in stay out.

Edward was immediately suspicious of the new guests, although one of them looked faintly familiar. He couldn't get a read on any of their thoughts, which was new and confusing because he knew they were there but blocked. Edward tried to force his way in and he noticed Harry's frown then glare and suddenly Edward was sucked into Harry's mind. Looking around it was a graveyard with a low hanging moon and with mist and fog covering the area. There was blood everywhere, and bones littering the ground and leaves being swept up a gentle breeze. A raven cawed and suddenly Harry was standing before him and in a chilling voice that radiated power floated in the air, "Get out and stay out if you don't want to lose your mind." Then Edward was being thrown out of the mind and incidentally was thrown from his chair.

The affect was immediate Edward stood up snarling, Bella cowered in the sea,t Rosalie and Emmett were defense stands looking between Harry and Edward, Alice was amused and Jasper was confused and was leaning slightly towards Demetri. Demetri in one fluid move was up and in a defense crouch and had produced a black blade with bone handle from nowhere and Harry had stood up slowly, like he gathering all of the joy and happiness he had previously exuded and brought it back with in himself and rested a hand on Demetri's lower back. Demetri slowly stood with his eyes still trained on Edward and the other couple but he was still in a fight stance waiting and the blade was still out gleaming under the light.

The teasing and easy going Harry was gone, and in his place stood cold and tense Lord Potter-Black, Master of Death. The air in the room turned cold and had a bite to it. In a scathing voice Harry asked, "Carlisle, I must say if this is how you treat the very beings that hold your puny lives in the palm of our hands, then perhaps the Volturi is right in wanting to kill your coven."

Everyone froze at those words, except for Jasper. Looking at this different side of Harry and Demetri, Jasper could see what Harry meant before. They were used to combat and killing. They stances spoke power, abilities and confidence in those ablilties, and Harry wielded the power with leadership and coolness. It was the type of leadership you would see in one who learned it through war and death on a battlefield, not in a classroom. Jasper had feeling that Harry and Demetri separating could annihilate their coven, but together could eradicate their coven plus another two and there wouldn't even be a scratch on them. He could almost see them standing with their blades in their calm and steady hands among the dead bodies, blood splattered everywhere, looking composed and graceful and the only thing out of place would be a stray lock of Demetri's hair. The scary part was that Jasper could almost see himself there too, standing on the other side of Harry just as calm and steady. The three of them could be a deadly combo if they chose to.

Carlisle cleared his throat and asked in what he believed was a steady voice, "How do you know the Volturi and why are our lives in your hands?"

For a moment, Carlisle almost wished he hadn't spoken, when eerie green eyes focused him.

Harry waved his hand and the glamour that Demetri had been wearing vanished, pale skin and blood red eyes appeared. Edward backed down, Alice and Bella looked frightened and Carlisle's eyes widen. How could they have not recognized Demetri? They didn't even hide his name. Perhaps they have been too lax, they should have been more on guard then just relying on Alice's sight.

"I see you finally recognized my mate, but I see you still don't remember me, especially you Carlisle." Harry stated mockingly while looking bored as he twirled a lock of Demetri's hair.

Everyone was confused minus Demetri who was still eyeing everybody as if they were a threat, which in his mind they were.

Then Harry was licking his fingertips, which despite the situation turned Jasper on, and brought them to his forehead. Moving the bangs out of the way, rubbed his fingers over a certain spot. When he removed his fingers, Carlisle gasped and in a shaky voice said, "Wh-what are you doing with the Volturi? They stand against everything you believed in."

Harry smile a mirthless one and replied, "My so called beliefs were corrected when they slaughter my werewolf father, and threw me into Azkaban because of their fear that I would become the next Dark Lord. Luckily I had made many friends, and I was able to escape. Years later I met Dem, my mate, my saving grace and he made me happy and protected me when no one else would. He has been able to give me something that no one thought to give me but a few that were murdered before my eyes."

Esme, the brave soul looked at Harry and asked, "What did he give you?"

Harry looked down at Demetri with so much love shinning in eyes that, Jasper desperately wanted that gaze directed at him. Rose and Emmett relaxed and sat down, anyone who could have that much love isn't the same as the Volturi, Edward looked away ashamed and Bella was jealous.

"He gave me love," Harry answered and Demetri straighten completely and met Harry's gaze straight on with just as much love in eyes, as he whispered, "I gave you no more than what you gave me."

Alice looked sad that hadn't been able to do that for her own mate. Jasper turned towards Alice and wrapped her into his arms, whispering for her to hear, "You have given me so much love Alice, but I just don't want you tainted with the blackness in my soul."

"Let me help you though, I can help ease it," Alice pleaded just a softly.

"I don't want you to know the horrors. I don't want you to look at me differently," Jasper said looking away.

"Jasper I love you and nothing could turn me away from you," Alice told him sternly but lovingly.

"I love you Alice," Jasper replied avoiding the last part of her sentence.

Alice smiled and hoped that Harry and Demetri could help her mate be free from his pain.

AN – I'm trying to get it up to speed with the other story. Let me know if you liked it. If any reviews happen before I get the 6th chapter posted, it will be noted in the 7th chapter. So thank you in advance and please let me know if you liked it!


	6. Chapter 6

"I'm so sorry Harry, if I would have known, I would have-"Carlisle started to say in shamed toned, but Harry cut him off.

"But you did know," Harry interrupted sharply with a cutting glance, before he turned back to Demetri and laid his head on Demetri's shoulder in a tone that reminded them broken child he continued, "I told you, I begged you, but you told me it wasn't safe for a human child to live with vampires, but yet it's apparently ok now," Harry ended with bitterness and Carlisle and Edward flinched.

"Dumbledore told me-" Carlisle tried once again, but stopped when a disbelieving "Ha!" came from Harry.

"Harry, why did you laugh when I mentioned Dumbledore?" Carlisle asked with caution.

"That goat fucker still can't stop meddling with my life and he has been dead for over a 120 years!" Harry exclaimed throwing his hands up in the air. When Harry brought his hands down to his face, he muttered/asked, "What did he tell you?"

"That you would be safe and that Remus would need you more, and that they couldn't afford to have you seen with me in the wizarding world," Carlisle concluded and watched as Harry lowered his hands and his eyes turned a cold jade color. He turned sharply on his heel, with military precision, and headed outside. Demetri didn't even hesitate to follow.

A few seconds later everyone heard blasts and what sounded like plates or ceramic pots breaking. Looking out the window that was behind them, the group saw piles of ceramic heads that looked like an old guy with a beard and half-mooned glasses. Between each of the explosions they could hear a continuous rant of 'fucking people think they know better', 'goat fuckers who should know better', and 'made him believe no one wanted him' with several other expletives inter-mixed in as well.

Everyone turned to look at a shamed-faced Carlisle who was rubbing the side of his head. Everyone was silent till Jasper spoke.

"I think Carlisle that we need an explanation here," Jasper asked in relatively calm but cold voice. Jasper while not knowing exactly what was going on, he felt anger for his friend.

Sighing, Carlisle began, "Let me get through explanations first before you ask questions, ok?" They murmured their agreement.

"Ok, so Harry is a wizard, as in actually one that can perform magic. I was known as a 2nd generation squib. A squib is a person born to two magical parents but don't have any magic themselves. My father was squib from a prestigious family, the Blacks. Back then to have a squib son or daughter meant automatic disowning and abandonment. My father's parents left him at an orphanage where he learned all of church and that anything supernatural was not right. It would be years later when a great great great cousin tracked me down. His name was Sirius Black, and he explained the wizarding world to me. We kept in contact for a while till it stopped. It was 14 years later that I learned what had happened. There was a Dark Lord that was creating havoc and his best friends were murdered, betrayed by another friend and their son, his godson had survived the attack, but Sirius was thrown into a wizarding prison. He had broken out when he learned his godson was in danger from the friend that betrayed them. After that communication had been short and far between until I heard of his death. Esme, Edward remember that funeral we went to and all of the people were dressed funny? That was a wizarding funeral. When I arrived, I was greeted by a man, Albus Dumbledore. He had told me that Sirius talked about me quite a bit, and had mention that should he had died that his godson should be put into my care, as his partner wouldn't be able to care for their godson for a while. I was honestly quite shocked, Sirius knew what I was and he wanted his godson to be in my care, but Dumbledore must have known as well since he mentioned my condition and that his godson was a very important person and that he shouldn't be seen with someone of my standing and that it would be beneficial that his godson be left in Dumbledore's care. Since we would be leaving soon and moving quite often I figured it would be best and so when I meant Sirius's godson, I was prepared to argue my point. Sirius's godson was Harry Potter-Black. When I met Harry, it was nothing like the man you saw today, he looked small, and depressed, and just stared with empty eyes at the closed coffin. I explained the situation to him, and he argued back about needing family, but I dismissed saying it would better if he stayed with those familiar to him, and that it wasn't safe for a human child to be with a vampire. Apparently after that outburst that was the wrong decision to make, though," Carlisle finished lamely.

All was silent, no one talked or breathed, it was then that they noticed that there were no more explosions and yelling. Turning to look back outside, they saw Harry was slumped against Demetri and Demetri was running his fingers through Harry's hair and keeping him wrapped tight within his arms.

Feeling like they were intruding on a private moment, the group went back to their original positions and stayed silent. They hadn't known about this part of their coven's leader past.

Edward spoke up, "I remember that funeral, but I don't remember any communication or news after that."

Carlisle replied, "Because there wasn't any. We left Europe and headed for America. The only news that I heard was that the Dark Lord was defeated and all was well. So I figured that Harry would be fine now and didn't need me. Plus I didn't know he would still be alive after all this time." Carlisle was starting to feel like all of the excuse he had were miserable at best.

"But that doesn't explain why they thought he was a Dark Lord though," Rosalie stated confused. Carlisle didn't mention anything about it.

"I don't know, I don't even really know why Harry was an important figure," Carlisle answered with an air of a man who knew he had messed up and there was no way to correct it.

"Didn't your cousin mention anything?" Jasper asked, finding it hard to believe that Carlisle knew just that small amount.

"Just that Harry was training hard for the war, but I just figured everyone was," Carlisle told them.

"So you didn't question anything?" Esme asked slightly angry, her mate just left a child in war and believed all was well.

"No."

All questioning stopped when a tired Harry and a stony faced Demetri entered the living room again. They once again sat down on the end of couch but this time Harry and Demetri sat side by side and Demetri pulled Harry's legs up onto his own and Harry laid his head on Demetri's shoulder.

Carlisle looked at Harry with sadness and said, "Harry I really am sorry."

Harry lifted his and looked at Carlisle with tired eyes and replied, "I understand that you are sorry, but don't say anything else. It means nothing now that it is over and done with."

Carlisle flinched but said nothing.

"Harry we were wondering what you meant about becoming a Dark Lord. Why would they single you out?" Rosalie asked carefully.

"Because I was their savior that had too much power for one person and had far more sway and say than ministry," Harry answered in a tired dismissive tone.

"When you mean savior…?" Edward trailed off.

"It means he saved every witch and wizard and quite possible the world from a stupid Dark Lord by training and sacrificing himself only to be betrayed," Demetri replied in a cutting voice.

"Let's change the topic, Dem. I don't want to get into my life story with people I barely know and who, besides Jasper would understand," Harry murmured to his mate, but everyone heard and looked at Jasper with questioning gazes, but Jasper ignored them.

"Sure thing beloved," Demetri answered softly, the immediate change was surprising to the group. Then Demetri in a louder voice said, "Like how foolish Edward is and how stupid Bella is but we need to thank them?"

Different cries of outrage and shock were sounded. Harry visibly brighten at this and sat up removing his legs from Demetri's lap and scooted up till he was once again sitting on the armrest.

"Perfect topic my wonderful Dem!" Harry answered gleefully and clapped his claps.

"What do you mean I'm foolish?" Edward demanded.

"Well let's see…" Harry started as he tapped his chin, making Demetri snicker, "the fact you received a phone call saying your singer was dead and you confirmed it with another phone call and took it as a fact."

"The person who answered the phone said Bella's father was at a funeral."

Harry snorted and said, "Right that makes it gospel? Plus since when has a funeral ever been held on the same day as the death?"

"What gives you the right to question to me?" Edward ground out.

"The fact that I have watched many loved ones killed before my eyes, gives me the right. The fact that I am actually mated and bonded to Dem gives me the right. The fact that I would have traveled any distance to make sure Dem was actually dead and there no was chance of him living before I finally give up gives me the right. The fact that I wouldn't give up and continue to search for his reincarnation gives me the right. The fact that if I had to be separated from Dem, it had to have been something serious and life or death before I even thought about leaving Dem gives me the right. And when I mean life or death, I mean like Dem is dying and the only way to save him is some obscure flower in the Himalayas not your excuse," Harry told eyes alight with green fire.

Jasper watched as Edward as cowed down and given a talking too. Jasper was pensive, thinking about what Harry had said. He didn't doubt what Harry said was true and that he would carry through, no he was thinking if he would do the same for Alice. Thinking about it, Jasper knew he too would travel to wherever Alice died at to make sure, but Jasper didn't have that type of faith waiting for Alice to reappear. He knew he would go on a rampage and kill anything and everything that got in his way of avenging Alice before killing himself.

"But why I am stupid? I saved him!" Bella said drawing Jasper from his thoughts.

"Really? You need to ask? Yes it was a heroic effort to save the nitwit, but at what price? Death or vampire. Before you even say it, I know you want to be a vampire so you can live forever with Edward and so you can be on par with Rosalie on looks. While I wouldn't begrudged Edward a mate, but Edward was giving you a chance. And now he doesn't have one. Neither do you. Well actually you do, Volturi kills you and a big war will start. You wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't stuck your nose into things you shouldn't have! Even more you have alerted the Volutri to the Cullen clan. They now have their sights set on you. Which brings me to the point about Dem and I thanking you two dimwits."

"Why are you thanking them?" Rosalie asked confused.

"Because otherwise, they would still be stuck in Volterra miserable," Alice answered for the first time.

"Exactly! Thanks to your little stunt, I finally found out that my sexy mate wanted to go traveling and you gave us the prefect opening!" Harry gleefully explained.

"Opening for what?" Emmett asked.

"We, meaning Dem and I, are traveling the world to check on the other covens and give accurate descriptions and counts for the Volturi while keeping an eye on the your coven, more specifically Bella to make sure that she is either a) turned or b) killed."

"So what? while I worry about having to turn Bella, you guys get to basically have a vacation?" Edward asked outraged.

"Yep! So thank you for your fuck-up!" Harry replied cheekily.

Demetri groaned Harry was trying to get them killed!

"With that being said, I believe it is time for us to leave beloved. We have taken up quite a bit of their time and insulted Edward and Bella enough," Demetri stated evenly while giving the eye to Harry.

"Fine, fine. Jasper? Alice? Walk us out?" Harry conceded.

Jasper nodded and helped Alice up before walking outside.

"Well thank you for this eventful evening, its been fun tormenting Edward and Bella, but we need to leave. Ciao!" Harry told them as the two couples made its way out, but Harry popped his head in once more and said, "We'll be checking in on you later!" Then he was back outside with his mate and Jasper and Alice.

Harry snapped his fingers and pulled Demetri closer and the two of them stepped closer to the other two vampires. With a somber tone Harry told them, "If you need to talk to us or need to get away you are welcomed at our place. In a couple of weeks, we'll be leaving but you will still be welcomed there."

"Only you two though. And remember we are here for you," Demetri added just as serious.

"Yes that means you as well Alice. It is difficult having a war veteran as a mate. We know both sides of the coin so to speak," Harry told her.

Giving both Jasper and Alice hugs, Harry and Demetri headed into the woods walking to their new home. Alice and Jasper just stood there holding each other watching the pair disappear before they spoke.

"Do you think they can really help us?" Alice questioned.

"If anyone could it would be them. Lets go make sure Esme and Rosalie don't tear a new one into Carlisle," Jasper replied turning his mate towards the house.

AN – alright so we are caught up to the other one. Please let me know what you think! It helps when I know what people are thinking. Thank you!


	7. Chapter 7

Harry was practically skipping through the forest with a devious grin on his face. He couldn't wait to play some pranks on Edward and Bella, maybe even Carlisle. When he thought of Carlisle, Harry came to halt and frown. He had more family and they left him. Harry could tell that Carlisle was now regretting it, but it still didn't quell the hurt he felt inside. Feelings of worthlessness rose deep within him. Was there something serious wrong with him as a child and as a teenager that no one wanted him?

Demetri was smiling fondly at deviously planning mate as he skipped ahead. He undead heart hurt earlier today, when Dumbledore was mention and Harry had a breakdown. His Harry was always so strong, he has rarely seen Harry looking so lost. Angry yes, lost and broken, no. Even when Harry had told him about his past, and he had used a flippant tone, but Demetri had been able to see past it and saw the hurt still lurking. So when he saw his beloved stopping in the middle of the forest near their backyard, Demetri frowned worried that maybe someone had been by. Stopping next to his mate, Demetri saw that Harry had such a lost and wretched look on his face that Demetri's heart broke once again.

Demetri drew his beloved close and buried his nose into Harry's hair. When he felt arms wrap around him and hands clench into his shirt, Demetri held Harry tighter and closer. Then Harry spoke and Demetri once again wished he could cry.

"Was I such a disgusting person that no one wanted me when I was young?" Harry whispered in a broken voice.

"No beloved, you were beautiful and they were jealous of it," Demetri fiercely whispered in Harry's ear.

"But why?" Harry pleaded and tears spilt forth.

"Because your soul is beautiful and pure while theirs were tainted and ugly. They wanted to damage you. But you kept true to yourself and you grew and blossomed under their pettiness. You grew strong and even more beautiful. If I wouldn't have known you were so close, I would have been there right beside you every step of the way," Demetri told him wiping tears away from those bright green eyes.

Harry smiled and kissed Demetri. It was so gentle that it was tender, and Harry apparated them to their bedroom. Breaking the kiss, Harry removed every piece of Demetri's clothing and gently pushed onto the bed. Flicking his wrist, Harry's clothes disappeared and Harry climbed on top of Demetri and placed another tender kiss then slowly moved his way down Demetri's body worshipping it, like he was paying homage to his savior. Which he was. Demetri had saved him from turning aloof and closed off and giving up on finding love. Moving back up Harry murmured something then he was kissing Demetri and softly stretching and preparing him. As Harry made tender love to him, Demetri felt as if he was the one that was the most precious person in the world. It was also the first time that Harry had ever been this gentle and tender. Harry was normally fun and energetic. Demetri truly felt loved and cherished, he knew Harry loved him and that Harry needed him but he had never felt it to this extent. As they climaxed, Harry fell onto Demetri and hugged him close trying to stay as close as he could. Demetri held just as tight and watched over Harry as he slept.

"You LEFT a child who begged you to come with you with his headmaster?" Esme frostily asked Carlisle.

"You left a child in a war zone?" Rosalie questioned with glare.

"What was I supposed to do? Take him with me? Take him away from his other parent?" Carlisle replied tiredly as he rubbed his eyes with his forefinger and thumb.

"We could have stayed for a little longer, or even stayed in better contact!" Esme said throwing her in the air.

"Your cousin told you to!" Rosalie shouted and if possible her glare intensified.

"Esme and Rosalie, if Carlisle hadn't left Harry then the world we know would have been a different place, good or bad I don't know, but it was meant to be," Alice told them calmly as her and Jasper walked in from watching Harry and Demetri leave.

"So Carlisle had to leave Harry by himself grieving in a war zone, so whatever happened happen," Rosalie sarcastically asked.

"Basically yes. While it pains me to know that it wasn't easy for him, it did shape him into the man he is today," Alice answered firmly.

Rosalie glared at Alice before stalking away with Emmett following.

Esme looked frustrated and wanting to cry, but she straighten and said, "Fine, it needed to happen but we will be trying to correct this." She pointed her finger to her mate and walked away, presumably out to her flower beds.

Carlisle sighed and said, "Thanks Alice."

"Don't get me wrong, what Harry suffered through was horrible but this Harry will be able to help Jasper. I agree with Esme, you need to fix this or else this coven will crumble," Alice told him.

"What's wrong with Jasper and what do you mean?" Carlisle asked confused.

"Nothing you will be able to help with, you just need to make it right for Harry," Alice said and she and Jasper walked off to their room leaving Carlisle confused and slightly scared and alone. Edward and Bella had made their escape when his mate and Rosalie tag teamed up.

It was a few days later when Alice and Jasper made their way over to their new friends place with Jasper following their faint scent. Walking hand in hand Alice and Jasper approached the white house and Jasper knocked softly on the back door. They heard a "Come in!" and the open the door and stepped into the house. Walking down the hallway where there heard a t.v. going, Alice noticed the décor as foreign decorations, since almost all of the furnishings could not be found in a retail store. Reaching the living they saw Demetri relaxing on a leather couch with his feet propped up on an ottoman.

Frowning Jasper asked, "Where's Harry?"

Demetri looked up and said, "Right here."

Stepping closer they saw a very large tiger laying on the couch, while its head laying on Demetri's lap, and Demetri was stroking a hand down the tiger'8s back.

Alice giggled and said, "Hi Harry! Are we interrupting anything?" Directing the question towards Demetri.

Waving a hand, Demetri answered, "No, we are just relaxing before we need to start researching the other covens, take a seat and relax with us."

Jasper and Alice sat on the leather loveseat and Jasper couldn't take his eyes off of the tiger.

"Is that really Harry?" he questioned.

"Yeah, he likes being in this form when sulking or whenever he is in a catty mood or when he feels playful."

"So whats the reason for him being in this form currently?" Jasper asked out of curiosity.

"The last two," Demetri answered rubbing Harry's ear and Harry answered with a loud purr.

Alice frowned for a moment, before a look of sadness crossed her features.

Getting up, Alice walked over and kneeled by Harry's head and softly placed her dainty hand on his large head and whispered, "I'm so sorry Harry, but if you let Jasper and me in, we promise to never leave you either. Carlisle got his ass chewed out and Rosalie isn't speaking to him and Esme has been spending quite a bit of time in her garden."

Right before their eyes Harry returned to his human form and Alice's hand was in his hair. With his eyes still close, Harry told her, "Don't promise that lightly."

Jasper rose as well stood beside Alice's kneeling form.

"Alice and I have discussed it and we have decided to follow you and Demetri," Jasper stated.

Harry and Demetri were staring in shock at the two. Swallowing Harry asked, "Why…Why would you follow us? You barely know us."

Alice stood up and shared a look with Jasper, when she turned back she said, "For one, you have experience in almost all things except a family, second I have seen some parts of both your pasts and your decisions and actions speak for themselves. Third we feel a kinship to you guys. It feels like you are our big brothers."

"We have never really fit with the Cullens too, it almost feels like they were a stepping stone now," Jasper added.

Harry and Demetri looked at each other and nodded. Standing up Harry embraced Jasper and Demetri embraced Alice and whispered, "Little brother/little sister". Before switching and repeating the action and words.

When they broke apart, the new little family felt a sense of wholeness and even though they are hardly knew each other, they knew and felt that they were meant to be together working as a family. Nothing else was said, since it need to be and they settled down to finish watching the movie.

As the ending credits came onto the screen, Demetri turned it off and Alice spoke up, "So when are you guys leaving?"

"In a week so, depends on how fast we can find a coven," Demetri answered with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Plus we need a few supplies," Harry added from his position on his mate's lap.

"We do?" Demetri asked confused looking down.

"Yes, we need phones," Harry started ticking off his fingers.

"Why do we need phones?" Demetri questioned.

"Well for starters, I want one. Have you seen the commercials for the phones? Last time I saw a phone, it didn't travel with you that's for sure!" Harry told them.

Demetri rolled his eyes and said, "And the other reason?"

"So we can keep in touch with our new found family!" Harry rolled his eyes and twirled his finger around his temple and pointed up to Demetri.

Alice and Jasper snickered and Demetri sighed, "Are you sure you are in your hundred and not in your teens?"

Harry stuck his tongue and continued, "We'll need a GPS and a map/compass, yes love I am aware you are the best tracker out there but we also need to record the coordinates and send a copy back to Aro."

"You just want another toy," Demetri teased.

Ignoring his mate Harry continued once more, "We'll need an ipod for music and a computer to input all of our collected data as well as a printer so we can send copies to Aro."

Alice clapped her hands and shouted, "Yay a shopping spree! I know just the phone you two should get!"

Jasper looked like he was trying to make up his mind on something and when he did he asked, "Can we go with you?"

"Don't you two have school?" Harry questioned with his eyebrow raised as he sat up.

"Yeah only a few more weeks, I'm sure Carlisle could cover for us. Plus we could go to the covens that we know are located," Jasper explained.

"Oh! I want a backpack just like yours!" Alice squealed jumping up and down.

Demetri smiled and looked his mate, "I guess they are coming with?"

"Yeah, maybe sometime away from humans might do Jasper some good as well," Harry remarked, looking at a now hyper Alice and relaxed Jasper. Plus it would be family bonding time.

	8. Chapter 8

It was bright and an early morning a few days after Alice and Jasper's first visit. Even though they had declared themselves family and wanting to follow Harry and Demetri they didn't want them to wear out their welcome. So they only visited for during the day and never staying past dinner. The birds were chirping and the sun was shining and Jasper was wondering why in the world was Alice bringing them out on a day like today? All she had said was that their elder brothers had something planned for them. So here they were walking hand and hand with Alice giggling over something. Giving her a questioning glance, Jasper just got a smile and answer of 'Harry sure is amusing.' That's it. Nothing more. Sighing Jasper smiled fondly at his mate.

When they reached their brothers' home, they walked through the back to stop and stare. Harry was sitting in a pair of loose boxers with the Batman symbol on them, hair even messier than normal eating a bowl of Wheaties with what looked like a mound of sugar sitting on top and drinking a Mountain Dew. Lifting an eyebrow, Jasper sat down next to Harry while Alice continued to stand and watched as Harry ate the now non-healthy cereal and chased it down with a swig of Dew.

"Harry, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you eliminating the purpose of Wheaties by adding the sugar and drinking Mt Dew?" Jasper asked unconsciously aware of Harry's torso. Harry was fit but what drew him in was the amount of scars that littered Harry's front. It spoke of hardships and pain, it was something that Jasper could relate to. Alice felt sorrow that her brother suffered so but knew that he would be able to help her mate.

"Have you ever had plain Wheaties? It tastes like crap, but we ran out of the frosted and since they have stopped making Captain Crunch, I have to find a new cereal," Harry explained drawing their eyes away from his chest.

"Right but why aren't you drinking a normal breakfast beverage like orange juice?" Jasper told as he watched Harry chug some Dew.

"O.J. kills, so I only drink cran-grape juice. That tastes like Kool-aid, best type of juice," Harry dreamily answered.

"Right so why aren't you drinking your cran-grape than? Also there's orange juice in Mt. Dew," Jasper stated with a teasing smile that turned into a full-blown smile and laughter. Jasper had time it just right so that when he said the last part, Harry was taking a gulp of Dew. Harry than proceeded to spit the Dew out and Jasper was pretty positive that a little came out his nose.

Alice was giggling as she watched the whole scene and for a moment it was almost like Jasper was the older brother picking on the younger.

Demetri had been taking a shower when Harry had gone down for breakfast. They had planned on kidnapping Jasper and Alice and taking them shopping as while getting themselves some more supplies, which meant that they were getting new clothes as well. Harry had told him it would a perfect day to go shopping, it was going to be sunny and he was going to apply glamour to Demetri and their new siblings. Stepping out of the shower, Demetri heard Harry and Jasper talking, guess Alice saw their plan. Pulling on a pair of faded jeans and a black t-shirt, Demetri grabbed a pair of socks and headed downstairs.

On his way down, Demetri was imagining Harry eating his cereal in a zombie-like pattern and drinking some type of soda pop and Jasper asking questions with Alice having a knowing smirk, what he did not expect to see was Alice giggling uncontrollably, Jasper clutching his sides, head on the table with hand slapping the table while Harry was stomping his foot, holding his nose, crying out "it burns us, it burns us!" Maybe it was time to cut back on the movie watching, Demetri thought.

Taking a seat across from Jasper and next to Harry, Demetri sat there with an eyebrow raised waiting for one of them to acknowledge him. It didn't take long for Harry stop what he was doing tell him what was wrong.

"Dem! My Dew had O.J. in it!" Harry sobbed.

"So?" Demetri had no clue what was going on.

"O.J. kills though!" Harry wailed dropping his head into his empty cereal bowl.

Jasper had calmed down enough to see Demetri's confuse and so not caring face and explained it to him.

"There was man named O.J. Simpson who was accused of murder, a few years back and orange juice has the initials O.J. So it is a joke that O.J. kills," Jasper let out another peal of laughter when Harry sat up and his bangs were sticking up with milk and bits of cereal was stuck to his face. Alice thought Harry looked adorable and was amazed at just how far Harry has come.

Demetri just shook his head and decided that maybe letting his beloved eat sugar for breakfast wasn't a good idea. Even though the sugar wouldn't harm him, but he would still get sugar rushes.

Reaching behind, Demetri grabbed a roll of paper towels and tore a piece off and started to wipe Harry's face clean. Harry struggled but not all that hard, since he knew Demetri liked to do the little things for him.

"Harry, love I'm pretty sure O.J. can't kill you ergo it's safe for you to drink," Demetri told Harry when he sat back to put his socks on.

"Oh right," Harry smiled sheepishly, "in that case." Harry got up and went to the fridge and pulled out another can of Dew and popped the top. Taking a nice long drink, more like drank the whole can, and let out a satisfied sigh. Tossing the can in the recycle bin, he pressed a kiss to Demetri's cheek and waved to Alice and Jasper as he sprinted up the stairs for his shower.

"So I'm going to assume you saw the plan Alice?" Demetri stated pulling on his socks.

"Yep! I can't wait there are some shoes I wanted to buy and I wanted to help Harry pick out which gadgets as well," Alice answered.

Jasper sighed and said, "We're going shopping on today of all days? Are you guys insane?"

"Ye of little faith, relax youngling Harry will take good care of us," Demetri said sitting back against his chair, "Beside if I have to endure it, so will you. Harry is very excited about this trip and as I can see so is Alice."

"Yep and you can't say no to both your mate and brother Jasper, its just not done," Alice said with a wink. She knew something was going to happen today and it is going to be for the better.

"Oh and by the way you two, if Harry insists on buying something, just accept it," Demetri said.

Jasper frowned and asked, "Why?"

Leaning forward Demetri explained, "Its scars from his childhood. Those unfit guardians," Demetri spat, "didn't buy him anything and practically starved him. So in return he overbuys things from those he loves and considers family. Since you declared yourselves his little siblings, Harry will be the older brother. He will dote on you and most likely do everything in his power to make sure you are well taken care of and happy."

"How come I haven't seen any of this?" Alice questioned sadly.

"Not sure, but my guess would that Harry keeps certain parts of his past locked up tight," Demetri answered with a shrugged.

They settled into silence after that each lost in their thoughts on Harry.

They heard a door open and wave of music sounded throughout the house and they heard Harry singing right along with it.

"_Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a Texas drought  
>Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about<br>So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts  
>Yes I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up<br>You've had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you're out of bounds  
>I want you smothered want you covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns<br>Come quicker than FedEx never reach an apex just like Coca-Cola stock you are inclined  
>To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time" <em>

Demetri looked at Jasper and Jasper looked at Demetri then looked at Alice who was giggling at their expressions. Demetri rolled his eyes was thankful that Harry didn't have it cranked up as loud as it could go like he did back at Volterra when he was alone.

"_Do it now  
>You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals<br>So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel  
>Do it again now<br>You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals  
>So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel<br>Gettin' horny now"_

"Is Harry always horny?" Jasper asked Demetri.

"_Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket  
>Like the lost catacombs of Egypt only God knows where we stuck it<br>Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific I wanna be down in your South Seas  
>But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means "Small Craft Advisory"<br>So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, B-5 you sunk my battleship  
>Please turn me on I'm Mister Coffee with an automatic drip<br>So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time" you'll Lovett just like Lyle  
>And then we'll do it doggy style so we can both watch "X-Files"<em>

"Yeah, but that is one of his favorite songs. It doesn't matter if he is horny or not, he just likes the song," Demetri answered looking amused.

"_Do it now  
>You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals<br>So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel  
>Do it again now<br>You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals  
>So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel<br>Gettin' horny now"_

Harry walked into the kitchen wearing black camo cargo shorts and a gray t-shirt and hiking boots. He had on a big smile.

"So whose ready for some shopping?" Harry asked clapping his hands together, "And for an awesome ride in my 911 Turbo?"

Demetri groaned on both accounts but got up to kiss Harry and Jasper smiled at his brother's excitement and stood up as well. Alice squealed then pouted saying, "That's not fair, I want one!"

Harry just laughed and hugged Alice saying, "I'll race ya!" And the two took off for the garage.

"They have to been twins right?" Jasper asked stunned.

"Lets pray that aren't that similar or we will be wishing a drink," Demetri joked.

It didn't take very long to reach Seattle, 30 minutes tops, Jasper who was sitting in the back had decided that he had thought Rosalie a crazy driver but was corrected when Harry had that mischievous smile and told him that he had made some adjustments to his car. Demetri had just smirked and settled into his back seat as well, while Alice rode shotgun and was bouncing with excitement. When they had left Forks, Jasper saw what Harry meant. Normally the Turbo can go 150 mph but Harry had made his car go speeds impossible for the human eye to catch, they were nearly invisible. Harry was for the most part had gone straight since there wasn't a whole bunch of cars but the closer they got to Seattle the crazier the traffic became and the scarier Harry's driving became. He zigzagged between cars and one time squeezed between two cars. So when Harry finally started to slow down become part of the traffic Jasper relaxed his grip on his seat and smiled when he saw Harry looking at him in the rear-view mirror and Alice looking back gleeful smile.

Walking into the mall, Harry looked around, not very impressed. The one in Paris had been bigger. This will have to do though. Spotting a store on the second level, Harry pulled Jasper into a brotherly choke hold, meaning you got their arm around your neck but its not painful just embarrassing, and strode to the store with Jasper complaining.

Demetri looked down at Alice who was smiling softly and pulled her into a gentle side hug and followed their idiot mates to the store.

"You know, " Alice started, "while those two are off getting guys clothes for Jasper, we should go get the devices Harry wants."

Looking up at Harry and Jasper who had managed to escape the hold, were talking and pushing each other.

"I wonder when Harry is going to confront him?" Alice asked with tilt of her head making her adorable.

"About what?" Demetri asked with a frown.

"I've tried to get Jasper to understand that we don't mind help him, but it just doesn't sink in. He is always trying to control it himself. If he would only let me in to help," Alice said sadly.

"Alice, you know that he is just trying to protect you right?" Demetri asked gently as they walked around.

"Yeah, but he needs to talk about it," Alice said frustrated.

"That's why Harry and I are here. Actually it will probably Harry that helps Jasper the most. He understands those types of things," Demetri told her.

"But you have experienced those things to."

"Not to the extent of Harry and Jasper. Plus while Harry and I enjoy mixing up our love life, he is definitely more dominate like Jasper."

"What do you mean?" Alice asked confused.

"When it comes down to it, both Harry and I are warriors and we will fight to protect each other but Harry may act content to follow another's lead, but he isn't. He is a leader, he will have already thought of several different scenarios on how to win, either he wins or dies trying. Very much like Jasper I assume?"

"I can agree with the leader and scenario since that is all I really know, I can't even see his war past. He tells me as little details as possible, but it sounds like him too. If they are both Leaders won't they fight?"

"They are different type of Leaders, Jasper may lead the soldiers and is a strategist but he wasn't the sole one in charge making the big decisions, whereas Harry was until his friends turned on him," Demetri growled out the last part and several people looked their way. Calming himself, Demetri gave a tight smile.

"Oh. I get it now," Alice said as if a light bulb went off, "With our little family Harry is the leader and Jasper would be Second in Command when it came down to fighting. Also you feel extra anger and pain for all that Harry went through and that's what Jasper is trying to avoid?"

"Yeah, Harry will talk to Jasper about leaning on us and more importantly you, since if you know what causes flashbacks or what triggers his control you can help, you will be the pillar of strength he will fall on," there was a moment of silence before Demetri continued, "So while Harry is beating sense into Jasper lets go get those gadgets Harry wanted."

Alice smiled and agreed. She knew that she needed to start preparing herself for when her mate did confide in her. She wouldn't let her love down.

On the other side of the store…

Harry was study Jasper as he browsed through some clothes. He had noticed that while he had Jasper in a headlock he was more relaxed than actually struggling, and now that he is free he looks relaxed standing where Harry had left him, but was struggling on the inside. Harry hummed and wondered when Jasper would admit that he was having a hard time?

After discreetly watching the struggle in Jasper's eyes for a few more minutes, Harry protective side came out. Swiftly walking over to Jasper, Harry smiled and grabbed his arm hauling him to the stalls. Once they were both in the stall, Harry silenced and warded their area, before turning to look at Jasper. Harry noticed the tension was gone from Jasper's shoulders and there wasn't an inner struggle going on behind those eyes.

"When where you going to tell me that you were having a hard time?" Harry gently asked. It wouldn't do to start demanding.

"I wasn't," Jasper defended tensing slightly.

"I know that isn't the truth Jasp. Either answer me truthfully or I will give you the cold hard truth," Harry's eyes gleamed with knowledge and Jasper chose to answer honestly.

"I didn't want you to worry," Jasper mumbled slightly, but Harry still heard it.

"That's what families do is worry little brother. What's the other reason?"

"I didn't want to be a burden," Jasper answered looking down at his hands, not wanting to see the pity like he saw from his ex-coven members.

Harry's heart felt like it was breaking. Jasper reminded Harry of himself and Harry could have cried.

"Why haven't you told anyone?" Harry questioned gently stepping closer.

"They get a look of pity in their eyes and I can feel it in their emotions. Plus it was normally just easier to stay at home and just brave school."

Harry pulled Jasper into a hug and said, "I won't pity you, I know what it is like to be pitied. But I do feel sadness for you and anger for you."

"Why?" Jasper asked as he buried his head into neck.

"Because you should have had someone to fully lean on and I'm angry that no one tried to help you," Harry explained.

"Alice did but I shut her out," Jasper confessed tightening his hold.

"Normally I would say that a mate is enough, but not when it comes to certain things. I told Demetri everything and I see the anger that simmers whenever I have a flashback or when I completely break down, but if it hadn't been for Marcus who I see as family, Demetri and I wouldn't be this strong. Marcus knows war just as personally as you or me and I could talk to him about it," Harry told him he paused for a minute, "You do need to confide in Alice but you also need to talk to at least me about it. You need to relive some of it to help settle it. You can lean on me or Demetri. We are a family now, and family sticks together. Whether we live together or not."

Jasper nodded his head against Harry's shoulder.

"You call me big brother, so let me be a big brother for you. Let me know when you need help, let me help with some of this weight. I already have two others helping me with mine, so let me help with yours."

Jasper nodded once more and Harry tightened his hug before pulling back. Looking into Jasper's eyes Harry added one more serious thing, "You don't always need to be strong. BE strong when it counts, but let loose and let others lead when it doesn't," pressing a brotherly kiss onto Jasper's head, Harry pulled back with a smirk and said, "Now try on these clothes to make sure I got the sizes right!"

Harry dashed out of the stall with no knowing any different and Jasper turned to look at the clothes and his mouth dropped before muttering, "Damn stupid brothers, giving me mountain of clothes to try on. I already have clothes."

Harry just laughed and waited for his vampire brother to finish before purchasing them all. Once they were done with that store, Harry and Jasper ducked into the bathroom and Harry shrunk all but one bag and went to find their mates. Once they found their loves, the small family made their through the mall, buying clothing for everyone and even the shoes that Alice hinted at, stopping every once in a while for a 'potty break' break for Jasper when the struggle was too great before deciding that it was time for home. Alice and Jasper were having such a good time that they didn't even notice that Harry and Demetri had dropped them off back at their home without any of their purchases.

AN – So I don't know if any of what I said is 'officially true' but my husband is a veteran and they told us, that they may not tell the spouses everything, but they do need someone else like their battle buddies to talk to. That they need to share their experiences but we, the spouses, wouldn't understand what it was like since we didn't live it. So yeah, just F.Y.I. so I don't get chewed for it. Anyways! SO what did ya think?

	9. Chapter 9

Rain was drizzling on the outside of the windows making everything inside blurry, even for vampiric sight. So as two confused vampires walking hand in hand beneath an umbrella towards the lone house, all they could see were two blurry figures moving. As they approached though, they hear could music being played.

_**Every time our eyes meet  
>This feeling inside me<br>Is almost more than I can take  
>Baby when you touch me<br>I can feel how much you love me  
>And it just blows me away<br>I've never been this close to anyone or anything  
>I can hear your thoughts<br>I can see your dreams**_

__The two vampires turned to meet each other's eyes, Alice could see the love Jasper held for her shining through, almost as if the song was being played for her, especially when Jasper moved to cup her face tenderly as he moved into gently place his lips upon her own.

_**I don't know how you do what you do  
>I'm so in love with you<br>It just keeps getting better  
>I want to spend the rest of my life<br>With you by my side  
>Forever and ever<br>Every little thing that you do  
>Baby, I'm amazed by you <strong>_

As they softly parted with loved filled gazes, the couple entered their older siblings' home. As they walked down the fast becoming familiar hallway, they stopped just before entering the living room. The sight that greeted them was so heartwarming and romantic that it was seared into their memories forever. __

_**The smell of your skin**_  
><em><strong>The taste of your kiss<strong>_  
><em><strong>The way you whisper in the dark<strong>_  
><em><strong>Your hair all around me<strong>_  
><em><strong>Baby you surround me<strong>_  
><em><strong>You touch every place in my heart<strong>_  
><em><strong>Oh, it feels like the first time, every time<strong>_  
><em><strong>I want to spend the whole night in your eyes<strong>_

The sight that had greeted them was their immortal brother and his vampire mate holding each other so sweetly, so tenderly as they swayed to the music sounding in the room. Harry had his arms resting on Demetri's shoulders with his hands buried into Demetri's long silky hair. Demetri had his hands laying on Harry's hips with his thumbs lightly stroking the exposed skin from where the shirt had ridden up. Their heads were leaning against each other as they rocked back and forth with small steps twirling them slightly. As they gazed into each other's eyes silently communicating all of their love for each other.__

_**Every little thing that you do**_  
><em><strong>I'm so in love with you<strong>_  
><em><strong>It just keeps getting better<strong>_  
><em><strong>I want to spend the rest of my life<strong>_  
><em><strong>With you by my side<strong>_  
><em><strong>Forever and ever<strong>_  
><em><strong>Every little thing that you do<strong>_  
><em><strong>Baby, I'm amazed by you<strong>_

As the song came to an end, Alice and Jasper could see the intense love radiating from the two as they tilted their heads for a kiss. Alice and Jasper felt like they had been intruding upon a very private moment with the emotions that were whirling in the room. Alice was wishing she had seen this in a vision, so they could have arrived a little later while her mate Jasper was reeling from the pure emotions the two were feeling for one another. Jasper hadn't felt anything that pure nor that strong since Alice had found him all that time ago in that diner.

Alice and Jasper had adverted their eyes not wanting to intrude. Jasper was looking down at his beautiful little pixie who was in turn studying the pictures of their brothers on the wall. One of the main reasons why they had decided to come over the day after the shopping spree was because when reached their room they realized that Harry and Demetri hadn't given them their things that had been purchased that day.

"You can turn back now," Harry said amused.

As Alice and Jasper turned back to face their family, they saw Harry and Demetri still embracing each other but it was more as if the position was too comfortable to even think of moving.

"We apologize for intruding on your private moment," Jasper stated ever the gentleman.

"No worries Jazz, if it would have been really private you would not have been able to enter the house or we would have been in our bed," Harry replied with wink causing Demetri to groan at his beloved's playfulness.

"Oh brother dear, I do believe that if Jasper could blush, he would be!" Alice giggled and she was right as Jasper was looking fairly abashed with his eyes were looking elsewhere and a slight shifting of his feet. He was not one to think of other's 'private' times nor did he wish to feel their emotions particularly. Whenever one of their old family members would be feeling amorous, Jasper and Alice would quietly escape to the woods.

"I believe you are right little sister. It's most likely a good thing for Jasper to not be able to blush, as I would make it my brotherly duty to make sure he would be constantly embarrassed," Harry replied joking and a wink to let Jasper know he was teasing but Jasper feel his teasing intent.

"Alright love, quite picking on Jazz," Demetri said nuzzling Harry's neck, "Lets go show them the reason why we didn't give them their purchases to take home."

"How did you know we were here because of that?" Alice asked perplexed. She wasn't used people knowing things that she couldn't.

"Because the naughty tiger here has a surprise for you and purposely didn't give you the purchases ensuring that you would arrive today trying to find out what happened," Demetri answered clamping a hand over Harry's mouth when it opened to answer.

Harry rolled his eyes and began to sensually lick Demetri's hand, when the hand went slack and he felt Demetri press up against his backside, Harry smirked and said, "Ruin my fun and indeed we have a surprise for you. As we know that you don't come around very often thinking that you are intruding upon our time. You don't and we wanted to show you that. So if you will follow me and my growth we can show you to your surprise."

"I am not a growth!" Demetri replied indignantly even though he made no move to release or allow space between their bodies.

"Ok Growth," Harry said rolling his eyes once more as he began to lead the way up the stairs.

Alice and Jasper looked at each for a moment before clasping their hands together and following their childish older brothers.

When they reached Harry and his 'Growth', they were stopped before a plain looking door. Confused they looked at Harry then Demetri, both of whom just smiled and opened the door. As Alice and Jasper were ushered into the room, they froze as they took in beautiful, airy room filled with books and lace, with antique swords and blossoming flowers with a canopy bed that was both sinful yet innocent. A perfect mixture of the two. Alice looked towards a sliding wood door and cautiously walked over to it and opened it to reveal a closet that was every girl's dream! Racks and hangers, shelves and cubbies. There was enough room to fit all of her wardrobe as well as Jasper's plus several more shopping sprees! Alice also noticed that most of the stuff they had purchased was hung or placed in the correct spots.

Stepping back into the room, Alice noticed that Jasper had wandered over to the books gazing at all of the long lost books that he remembers reading as well several new books of all kinds.

"Harry…Demetri…I…how?" Alice asked slightly choked at seeing the wonder on her mate's face as he explored his desk that she noticed was in front of a large window.

Harry winked and said, "Magic."

While Demetri laughed said, "Harry and I didn't have a family until you and Jasper. We wanted you to feel welcomed and we wanted you to feel like you could stay here and have your own space."

Harry noticed Jasper had sat down at his desk looking slightly lost and confused. With a touch to Demetri's shoulder and soft smile to Alice, Harry excused himself as he walked over to his little brother.

"Hey Jasper, what's wrong?" Harry softly asked as he crouched down beside Jasper's chair.

"Why?" Jasper questioned looking at Harry a little lost as he held a quill in his hand relishing the familiar weight from his human memories.

"Because you are family. Your happiness and wellbeing matter to me," Harry replied staring into Jasper's eyes.

Harry could tell by the slight movement of Jasper's eyes that he was searching for something and Harry knew exactly what his brother was searching for. He was searching for the reassurance that he deserved it, that he mattered in the world that people cared for him as a person not a weapon or tool. It was the same searching that Harry had sought from Marcus, when Marcus gifted him with Marcus's family crest and sword.

As Jasper found what he was looking for, he fell from the chair and crushed Harry in hug. Burying his face in Harry's neck, for once wishing he could cry. The tight leash that held his self-doubts and self-hatred broke and was purged from his soul as his body shudder.

Outside the rain raged as if sensing that a soul needed a cleaning and crying. As Jasper began to reclaim his emotions and self-control the rain gentled to a light sprinkle before fully stopping. When Jasper pulled away from his brother's neck, he rested against Harry's shoulder as Harry continued to comfort his little brother.

There was a moment of silence, before Jasper finally spoke, "I feel lighter and more in control."

Harry smiled and pressed a kiss to Jasper's hair, knowing that Jasper was finally being allowed to heal.

When Demetri and Alice saw Harry kneel next to Jasper, they quietly slipped out of the house and into the background giving the war-burden souls their time to themselves.

Alice gave a half-smile as the storm began to rage, knowing that Jasper was most likely feeling the same. It was ironic how the weather either seemed know our feeling and sympathizes or mocks when we are feeling down.

Turning towards her brother, Alice said, "Thank you brother this is more than what most have down for us."

"Even the Cullens?" Demetri asked with a slight frown not noticing the pelting rain.

"They gave us money to buy our own things, yes. But to hand pick a room for us and decorate it so that it fits both of our needs and wants without even truly knowing us, is a gift greater than money. You spent time thinking about us, about wants and needs. Jasper and I have never known that," Alice explained feeling the burn of tears but knowing that none would fall.

Demetri gathered his little sister in his arms and hugged her. Knowing that just as Jasper needed comfort so did Alice. Alice clench Demetri's shirt in her hands, feeling the comforting embrace from what she imagined a brother would be like. In all of her vampire life since she couldn't remember her human life very well, only Jasper had really touched her or hugged her. Like a strike of lightning Alice realized that not only did her troubled mate need help but maybe she did too.

As they stood there giving/receiving comfort the rain gentled until it completely stopped and the air smelled fresh, as if it knew it was the time for new beginnings. Unfortunately the peace and comfort didn't last long as a large wolf came careening from the woods aiming straight for them.

Alice had frozen in fear while Demetri had pushed her behind him ready to protect her at all cost. Before Demetri could even attack, a CRASH was heard and huge blur of orange and black raced past the two vampires and collided with the large wolf. As the tiger and wolf broke apart only to slam into one another with teeth and claws mashing and slicing. Each fighting for the dominate position.

While Demetri and Alice had been focused on the fighting predators, they hadn't noticed when four other wolves surrounded them. Jasper had though as he had followed Harry through window and took to guarding the back of Demetri and keeping his own mate between them. As another went to charge, the wolves found that they could not. They rammed the invisible barrier, then they pawed and whined.

The whine became louder as the tiger suddenly had the wolf pinned. It was a brief second that the tiger looked away to check on his family that the wolf changed into a nude male human surprising the tiger from his attack. As the male went to attack, the tiger transformed into a clothed enraged Harry who quickly and accurately pinned the male to the ground with the male's face being pushed into the mud with a knee into the back and arms being stretch and lock into an uncomfortable position nearly being broken.

"Who the FUCK are you?" Harry growled severely pissed that his family had been in danger in their own backyard.

"Protectors of the land!" the man screamed out as Harry applied more pressure to the taunt arms.

"Ssso you attack the innocentssss on my land?" Harry hissed. He desperately wanted to kill this man, but that was then, this is now. He had learned to gather information first.

"We were told that there was a new vampire that fed on humans," the pinned wolf gasped.

"The only human that vampire feeds from is me, his mate. Where did you come by this information," Harry questioned ruthlessly pushing the man's face further into the mud ignoring whines and growls from the others.

"Bella told us, she was right to warn us!" The man spat out.

Harry could respect the fight the man still had but not when it concerns his precious mate and family.

"You would attack first on information from angst driven bitch? Who just left the town and her friends to save an equally angst driven vampire? You do know by the laws of nature, I can kill you and your pack for threatening what is mine, right?"

The man didn't answer but merely whimpered. Harry as individual was a scary person when protecting his family. Those betrayers had found out first hand just how terrifying Harry could be.

As Harry applied just enough pressure that would have broken average human's spine, Harry said, "Let this be a warning. NEVER attack what is MINE and get the correct information before attacking as a younger me would have killed you before even letting you speak and there are others out there far more dangerous than myself."

As Harry released the man, he stood tall and firm staring down at the mud covered shifter as he rose to his feet.

There was a moment of silence where everyone's breath was held as the naked man asked, "If we come back with no intention of attacking, would you give us the information we seek?"

"If you come back humble and with advanced notice we might give you the information you seek," Harry answered acknowledging that request.

"Thank you for the mercy you have shown," the man replied with a slight bow as he transformed back into a wolf and ran for the trees with his pack following.

Harry took a moment to calm his rage that was still lingering for the bitch that nearly caused him to kill a misguided pack. As he was calming down, he felt strong but gentle hands running down his sides only to return to the top and repeat. Leaning back against the firm chest, Harry exhaled soaking in the comfort his mate was giving him.

After a moment of comforting silence, Harry smiled and said, "I am covered in mud and am, no doubt, dirty your clothes."

"Better to dirty my clothes than for you to go on a rampage my love," Demetri murmured against his ear, "You were magnificent Harry, the fire burning in your eyes as you battled that lowly wolf was amazing. I have never seen such a look. Now that I recall your training, you were merely entertaining the guards and the Volturi weren't you?"

"Of course, beloved. If I were to have trained with them seriously there would have been none alive. I am happy that it has not scared you, though," Harry replied closing his eyes.

"You could never scare me like that," Demetri stated, while it was true that Demetri had never seen anything like that before from his mate, it was another part of his mate that Demetri discovered making Demetri happy.

Harry smiled and once he felt calm enough to face his family it was to Jasper tightly holding his shocked mate.

"I have not frightened you, have I?" Harry asked from where he was, he didn't want to get closer in case he had indeed frightened them.

"Never," Alice spoke faintly as she clung to her mate. Never had she seen the shifters react so violently. Yes they had called them names and snapped at them but never attack!

"You are my brother, nothing you do could frighten me," Jasper replied steadily and it was true. Seeing his brother react to the defense of their family with such intensity was mind-boggling. Watching the power and knowledge that his brother was displaying was an amazing sight. Jasper knew that they had made the right choice in choosing Harry and Demetri as family. Jasper was and is a fighter. While he respected Carlisle for his non-violent ways, Jasper felt often out of place and suffocated, but with Harry he felt free and protected, he felt needed. Harry had leapt to the defense casting a single look back at Jasper ensuring that Jasper would protect to his back and their family. Jasper felt like he was a part of the team being trusted to do what was needed, rather than being watched for mistakes. Harry had more than his respect; he had his admiration and loyalty. Harry was a leader Jasper found worth following wholeheartedly.

"Are you sure?" they head Harry asked.

Jasper and Alice looked at each other conveying their thoughts and feeling before they sprinted to their brothers, burrowing into their embrace showing just how much they were sure as well as showing their loyalty and love. Accepting Harry as he had accepted them. They never had to fear that they would be the outcasts or look down on. They had found a leader and family worthy fighting tooth and nail for. They found the place where they belong as Harry and Demetri held them close.
