(U)Chapter One(U)
(I)Dear Hermione,
Here's the plan as promised. Draco helped me out with some of my ideas as did his boyfriend Jasper. Now just a tiny thing about Jasper and his family who I am inviting to the party…they're the vegetarian vampires we spoke of a while back. They won't cause trouble, I've met Jasper already and he's very nice. I'm meeting the others in a couple of days when I invite them officially.
But right…the plan.
If possible I want it to be held in the Great Hall at Hogwarts.
I want to get a photo of everyone who lost their lives during both the first war with Voldemort and the second war, including muggles and Death eaters. I want one of the walls to be covered with the muggles, one with the death eaters, one with the first war and one with the second war. I want (B)everyone(B) to be remembered. The photo's should be floating off the wall, moving around so that a person could look at the same places and see each and every photo it they stood there long enough.
There will be a buffet table all evening with both muggle and magical foods and chairs and little table dotted around.
If George will agree to it I think it's be great to have a little gift bag for each guests, maybe a little preview of some up and coming WWW products? It would give his sales a boost, especially with the students. But if he doesn't want to just ordinary gift bags will be fine.
Where the teachers usually sit we should have a stage for the night's entertainment. And speaking of entertainment I'd like for the Hogwarts choir to perform and other student's bands. Also could we try and book the 'Weird Sisters' and the 'Black Cats'?
Students are welcome to attend but everyone else is invite only. (I have enclosed a list but if I've missed anyone important please add them on.) The students can only stay for however long the Headmistress allows them.
Anything else I leave in your capable hands.
Love Harry.(I)
(I)Dearest Harry,
That sounds absolutely perfect, especially the photo's. You are right, everyone should be remembered no matter what side they fought on. (Except maybe (B)him(B) and Bellatrix but I'll leave it up to you whether pictures of them go up.) I did wonder maybe if we should also have photo album's on each other table with photograph's of the war in them, to remember the events as well as the people. Just a thought.
I'm beginning work on everything right away and the two bands have already agreed and have even offered to do it free of charge. George has to run it by his lawyers (yes he has a lawyer and a consultant) but he wants to do it. I've also hired bouncers to stop gatecrashers and to check that everyone has valid invites. I'm making the invites so that they are needed to open the doors to the great hall. I'll send you the ones for you (yes you are being invited to your own party), the Malfoy's and the Cullens as soon as they're done.
You only forgot a couple of people from the list but I have had to invite a few of the more trusted reporters, I know you hate them but an event like this needs to be covered in the papers. Don't worry, Rita Skeeter will be no where in sight.
And as for the vampires coming I cannot wait to meet them, they sound fascinating with their alternative diet.
Your ever loving (and now very busy) friend,
Hermione.(I)
(I)Hermione,
Brilliant idea about the albums on the tables. Do it. As for the photo's of Voldemort and Bellatrix, put them up on the Death Eaters wall but make sure that the photo of Voldemort is of when he was younger, when was Tom Riddle. (Draco says to find a really bad one of his Aunt.) Also I think that Dumbledores one should be the only one with a frame. To make it stand out but not in an overly obvious way.
Doing the invites like that is a good idea. Also I've had a thought. I need someone to look after Teddy so maybe we could set up one of the classrooms as a childcare of sorts for parents who can't find sitters and such.
And you'd better had picked good reporters or I will never forgive you. LOL.
Love Harry.(I)
(I)Dear Harry,
Photo's are ready and done just how you (and Draco) asked. I'm ashamed to say that I never expected Tom Riddle to be quite so…handsome.
The child care thing was a brilliant idea and I've got that organised too. Poppy has offered to run it in the Hospital Wing.
Everything's coming together nicely.
Love Hermione.
P.S. What on earth does LOL mean?(I)
(I)Hermione,
I can't believe you don't know what LOL means. I know it's a muggle term but you used to live in the muggle world with your parents. It means 'Laugh Out Loud'.
Thank you for doing everything for me.
Oh and I got the invites today. Wish me luck. I'm off to meet the Cullens tonight. (But don't tell Lucius, they're still not his favourite people. Will explain why at the party.)
Love Harry.(I)
"Out you come Teddy," Harry said cheerfully as he undid the straps on the little boy's car seat. Jasper had driven them all to his house in Edward's car, the most sensible one to fit a child seat into. "We're going to meet Jasper's family."
"More good bad smells," Teddy said softly, wrinkling his nose slightly.
"Yes, more good bad smells," Harry chuckled before speaking softly to the vampire, "Jasper…you're house is amazing…it's beautiful." He stared up at the stunning house for a few moments before following Jasper and Draco up the steps to the glass door of the house.
"Thank you," Jasper bowed his head slightly as he held the door open for the wizards. He was shutting it behind them when Alice rushed down the stairs and all but threw herself at Draco.
"I'm so excited about the party!" she all but screamed, "I've seen some of it and it's going to be amazing and wonderful and…hello," she's turned to Harry suddenly, smiling at the dark haired teen. "You're Harry Potter."
"Yes I am," Harry smiled at the small girl who was bouncing in front of him.
"And this is Teddy," she smiled at the little boy who hid his face in Harry's chest, becoming even shyer than normal, "You're going to be very beautiful when you grow up. I know. I've seen it."
"How?" Teddy asked, peering at the little vampire woman.
"I can see the future sometimes," Alice said calmly.
"Really?" Teddy asked. She nodded. "Wow."
"You're a Seer?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Yes," Alice nodded again, "I saw you coming. I saw Draco coming too."
"Wow," Harry mumbled, "A vampire and a seer. That's a first."
"Tell me about it," Draco agreed with a chuckle.
"The others are all in the living room," Alice said cheerfully. She took Harry’s hand, the one not holding Teddy on his hip, and led him up the stairs. "I've been so looking forward to meeting you. Everyone will love you; you just have to give them time. Especially Rosalie."
Jasper took Draco's hand in his and kissed the blond wizards knuckles gently before they followed his excited sister up the stairs, along the hallway, down another set of stairs and into the living room. The rest of the Cullens were dotted around the room; Carlisle and Esme stood together in front of the roaring fire, Rosalie and Emmett sat together on the sofa and Edward stood by one of the large windows.
"Everyone, this is Harry Potter and his adopted son and Godson Teddy Lupin," Alice announced cheerfully as they reached the bottom of the stairs. "He's here to ask us something."
"Alice, don't give it away," Jasper chided as he and Draco joined them at the bottom of the stairs, "Let Harry and Draco do things how they want to."
"Hello again Draco, dear," Esme said softly as she crossed the room to take the blonds hands in hers, "I've made some chocolate cake. Would you like some?"
"Cake?" Teddy perked up in Harry's arms, "I like cake."
"Is he allowed some cake?" Esme asked. Harry nodded. "May I take him to the kitchen so he can pick his own slice?" The beautiful woman smiled so trustingly at the saviour of the Wizarding world that he nodded and handed over his son, trusting him in the care of an unfamiliar vampire.
"Thank you," Carlisle said as his happy wife skipped up the stairs chatting to the little boy, "She loves children. I am Carlisle, the head of this family."
"I'm Harry," he smiled and held his hand out for the vampire to shake, "It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled around at the other vampires, noticing that the other woman in the room was sat stiffly and trying not to look at him. "I don't know if Draco's told you anything about me…"
"Nope. Who are you?" Rosalie asked sharply.
"Rosalie," Jasper growled in her direction.
"I am a wizard, like Draco. I fought in a war, like Draco," Harry said softly but clearly, looking around at the vampires calmly, "Only unlike Draco everyone looked to me for leadership, for hope, for courage. I was the-boy-who-lived. Merlin, I hate that name," he shook his head before continuing to speak, "I had to lead the Light side in the war, I had to sacrifice myself to defeat a murder threatening the entire world with darkness."
"But you're not dead," Emmett pointed out, "You said you had to sacrifice yourself but that's not true if you didn't die…"
"I did die," Harry answered, "I just didn't stay dead. My magic brought me back so that I could defeat him." The big vampire let out a soft 'oh' of understanding. "I've now got another awful nickname, the Saviour-of-the-Wizarding-World. Yuck." Harry winced causing Draco and Alice to chuckle. He sounded like Teddy. "And after the war and all that I was truly sick of the attention and so came to live with Draco."
"That is quite a story," Carlisle said softly.
"Oh, don't I know it," Harry chuckled and shook his head, "Now, on top of coming to meet you I would like to invite all of you to a remembrance party, remembering the end of the war and those lost in it." He pulled out six large invitations from his pocket.
"How did they fit in there?" Rosalie all but demanded.
"Magic," Harry smiled across at her, "There is one for each of you. Jasper has already accepted to come with Draco, to support him as he re-enters the Wizarding world. And Edward, yours also has a plus one. For your girlfriend."
"Harry?" Draco asked in surprise, he hadn't known about that.
"I didn't think he'd want to leave her alone what with everything that's happened to her in the past," Harry answered calmly.
"And with what's happening now," Alice put in.
"What's happening now?" Draco asked worriedly.
"The murders in Seattle?" she asked, "Hasn't Jasper told you that…oh. He hasn't. Um, well there's a Newborn vampire loose in Seattle. We're worried that it has something to do with Victoria."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Draco asked his boyfriend.
"I didn't want to worry you," Jasper answered softly, reaching out with his free hand (the other was still holding Draco's) and cupped his boyfriend's cheek.
"Oh," Draco mumbled softly, "Thanks…I think."
"So anyway, she can come too," Harry said, looking across at Edward.
"She's grounded," Edward reminded everyone.
"She'll be ungrounded by then," Alice piped up, her eyes glazed over as she saw a vision, "And she'll be going on two trips as will you Edward." She blinked and her eyes returned to normal as she smiled at Harry, "I accept. I want to come and see your world of magic."
"I think you'll love it," Harry said as he flicked through the invites and handed her the one with her name on it. Hermione truly had done a wonderful thing with the invites, they lettering was beautiful and the design of the border was creeping ivy that moved about the page slowly.
"I know I'll love it," Alice laughed confidently.
"So Rosie? What do you think?" Emmett asked his wife brightly, "Fancy going to a magic party?" He looked very eager to do so, grinning at Harry and Draco but Rosalie was quite obviously still unconvinced. "Please Rosie?"
"I don't trust you," Rosalie said calmly to Harry, rising from her seat and allowing Harry to see how stunning she truly was. He was reminded immediately of Fleur DeLacour. In fact he'd like to see them stood side by side, just to see who would be the more beautiful. Harry had a feeling that even with her Veela blood Fleur would loose to Rosalie. "But I do wish to see this magical world Alice has seen in her visions. I will come."
"Yes!" Emmett cried happily, jumping up to stand beside his wife and to take his invite after she had gotten hers, "Wow! These are cool!"
"Daddy!" Teddy cried happily from the top of the stairs. He was sat on Esme's hip as she walked down the stairs and the little boy was munching on a piece of delicious looking chocolate cake with chocolate icing, icing which was all over his face by now. "Cake good!"
"Is it?" Harry asked, taking Teddy from the motherly vampire, "I'd better try a piece then," he said with a laugh, opening his mouth and going to take a bite out of the cake in Teddy's hand.
"No!" Teddy screamed, holding it away from Harry, "Mine!"
"Oh, yours is it?" Harry laughed.
"Yes, all mine. Nice lady said so," Teddy said, smiling at Esme who was standing close to her husband and beaming at the child. He looked to Jasper. "Your mummy?" he asked the vampire.
"Yes, she's my mother," Jasper agreed.
"Nice mummy," Teddy announced, "Nice but bad smell." Rosalie frowned, obviously taking offence for her mother who just smiled wider at the child.
"Don't worry, that's a good thing to be called," Harry chuckled, "What do you call Jasper, Teddy? What's Jasper?"
"Good bad smell," Teddy answered.
"And is anyone else a good bad smell?" Harry asked.
"Don't know," Teddy mumbled softly, "Nice bad smell." He looked at Esme once more. "Like nice bad smell." He waved across at her. "Like cake." And his attention turned entirely to the cake yet to be eaten in his messy hands.
"Will you two come?" Harry asked, holding out the last three invites, unable to separate them now that he was holding Teddy.
"We'd love to but I think it's best that we stay here, keep an eye on the things that are happening whilst everyone else is away," Carlisle said logically, "Everyone can tell us about it when they get back and we can go next time."
"Oh," Harry faltered before smiling brightly, "I suppose you're right. And so lastly it's just you, Edward Cullen with a plus one on his ticket. Will you come to my party? Will you bring your girlfriend to my party?"
"If her father will let us then I can see no reason not too," Edward answered. Harry gave a cry of joy and handed one of the other invites to him, practically juggling to Teddy to do so. "I do have one question however. Why is it that I can read your mind as clear as day but I cannot read Draco's unless he wants me too?"
"Huh?" Harry asked.
"Edward can read minds," Draco said quickly, "You can't read mine, Edward, because I am well trained in Occlumency. It is a shield for the mind."
"I was awful at that," Harry laughed loudly, "Truly awful. Snape gave up on me after…well after we had a fight but still he said I was his worst ever student at it." He smiled across as Draco and went to swap Teddy to his other hip but found he was still holding the two unclaimed invites. "Um…you should still have these." He held the two invites out to Carlisle and Esme.
"But…"
"You might not be coming but I am still inviting you and so you can still have these, if only as souvenirs," Harry said cheerfully.
"Thank you," Esme smiled at him, taking the pretty invitations in her pale hand, treating the two pieces of parchment almost like they would shatter.
"Down!" Teddy cried out suddenly, wriggling violently in Harry's arms.
"Where's that piece of cake gone?" Harry asked, looking at the clean carpet bellow them with fear as he saw the little boy's messy but ultimately empty hands.
"Gone," Teddy answered with a giggle.
"Have you eaten it all?" Harry gasped, the piece of cake had been huge! Teddy's cheeky giggle confirmed that was exactly what had happened. "You greedy little boy!" Harry laughed loudly.
"Down!" Teddy repeated loudly.
"Let's clean you up first, we don't want you leaving chocolate handprints all over the Cullens nice house do we?" Harry asked as he drew out his wand. He cast a simple cleaning spell on the wriggling boy, removing all traces of chocolate from little Teddy. "Now Teddy, don't break anything and don't go causing a nuisance," Harry warned the little boy before lowering him down to the ground. The little boy nodded…and then proceeded to rush over to stand in front of Emmett and Rosalie.
"Hello," he said loudly to the couple. Rosalie stiffened, her breathing cutting out. Emmett however grinned and dropped to his knees in front of the two year old and still the giant vampire towered over him. "I'm Teddy."
"I'm Emmett," he said cheerfully.
"Em…Emme…Emmie…." Teddy struggled to pronounce the new name.
"You can call me Em, kid," Emmett said with a wide grin.
"Em!" Teddy cried happily, "Em is big!" Harry and Draco both hid laughs behind their hands, fearing for a moment that the vampire would take offence but instead Emmett just…laughed. Teddy laughed too, his hair beginning to change…
"What the…?" Emmett asked in confusion as Teddy's sandy blond hair changed to short, dark curls just like his own. "How did he do that?"
"He's a Metamorphmagus," Harry explained. The Cullens frowned in confusion, well not Alice but the others did. "He can do that, he can change his appearance just by thinking about it. Right now he only copies other people or colours he thinks are pretty. Lately he's spent half his time as a mini-Draco." This got a loud 'aw' from Alice and Esme. "But when he gets older I'm sure he'll be just like his mum, I once saw her spend an entire day with her hair like Medusa. You know, living snakes. It was creepy but then again it was Halloween."
As the adults in the room chuckled Teddy stepped away from Emmett and looked up at the still stunned Rosalie. The little boy frowned for a moment before smiling happily and raising his arms up to her, asking for a hug. As she stared down at him the tight dark curls on his head lightened and lengthened, turning into blond ringlets. He went from looking like a little monkey to a little angel, from looking like Emmett to looking like Rosalie…
"Oh!" the vampire gasped, turning and rushing up the stairs. Emmett ruffled Teddy's hair before following his wife from the room, calling for her to stop and talk to him. Teddy turned tearful and confused eyes on his daddy.
"I bad?" he asked, his lower lip trembling.
"Oh no sweetheart!" Esme cried, dropping to her knees beside him and hugging him gently. "Rosalie's just a…a very emotional person."
"Tell me about it," Jasper muttered.
"W-W-Wosawie no like me?" Teddy asked tearfully.
"No, sweetheart, she does like you," Esme didn't know whether she was speaking the truth or not, you could never tell with Rosalie at the best of times but this was what the little boy needed to hear. "Rosalie just…needed a moment alone. It wasn't you." She kissed his hair softly and her hand stroked his cheek soothingly. Harry was suddenly struck by an irrational sort of fear, after all she was a vampire and he was a parent and…
"Don't worry," Edward spoke up and Harry suddenly remember that he could read his mind and would have heard every single fear that passed through his brain, "He smells too much like a wet dog to be even the slightest bit appetising to us."
"I think that's meant to be reassuring," Harry chuckled softly.
"It is," Edward smiled at him.
"You smell like Draco," Alice piped up, "Different but a good different."
"So it's me you lot want to eat," Harry laughed.
"Obviously," Alice teased.
"Nice bad smell?" Teddy asked softly from where he snuggled into Esme's arms. She smiled down at him. "Can I have more cake?"
"Teddy!" Harry half-gasped, half-laughed.
"Please?" Teddy looked way too sweet and innocent with Rosalie's looks and the batting eyelashes. It was no surprise that Esme gave in and lifted him up with er as she stood, carrying him out to the kitchen.
"If he's sick tonight I will be so pissed," Harry laughed, shaking his head softly.
"He won't be," Alice said confidently, "He won't sleep but he won't be sick."
"Great," Harry groaned.
"So Harry, why don't you sit down and tell us a bit about yourself?" Carlisle suggested pleasantly. Jasper pulled Draco over to the sofa Emmett and Rosalie had vacated, sitting down and pulling the wizard he had missed so much into his lap. Harry took the seat next to them as everyone else in the room found seats, all looking at him with various levels of expectancy.
They wanted to hear his story.
"Well…what do you want to know?" Harry asked timidly, knowing that Draco hadn't told them everything about his past. They'd respected that so he was sure they'd respect the fact that there were things he didn't want to talk about…
"Where did you get that scar?" Carlisle asked, nodding to the oh so famous scar on his forehead. His hand reached up, his fingers feeling along the distinct lines. "It looks old…"
"It is old," Harry said softly, "I got it when I was a baby, the night my parents died. An evil wizard called Lord Voldemort…" Draco shuddered violently in Jaspers arms, "…was trying to take over the world and thanks to a prophecy he believed, correctly as it turned out, that I was the only thing in the world that could stop him."
"A baby?" Edward asked disbelievingly.
"Yes. A baby. He killed my parents and tried to kill me," Harry sighed, "I survived the killing-curse, something completely unheard of. And in the process I…killed him. Temporarily."
"I dread to ask but why temporarily?" Carlisle asked softly.
"This could take a while," Harry warned softly before beginning to explain the condensed and censored version of his life's story, "When my parents were killed I was sent to live with my muggle relatives…"
A/N I couldn't leave this alone even on holiday! LOL. I spent most of the evenings ignoring my very understanding boyfriend and scribbling in my notebook. I've got two and a half chapters to copy up! Hope you liked this one. Oh and constructive criticism (not about spelling and grammar) and suggestions are always welcome.
