Harry only stopped running when he reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest. To anyone looking it would appear as though he was catching his breath, but Harry wasn’t even breathing hard. His breathing was as slow and steady as though he had been standing there all night. It was a perk that Harry could not deny would come in useful at some point in his future. No, he was making sure that he was not being followed. Harry stood still his sharp golden eyes looking for any inconsistent shadows or slight movements. His ears listened for any rustles or sounds and his nose smelt for anything out of the normal. Movement from the corner of his right eye made him jerk in the direction it had come from. He watched quietly as a small canine stepped out from the tree line. It did not appear to have noticed him at all and kept its head low with its tail limp. Harry wanted to call out to it, comfort it, though he did not know how to do such a thing, but stopped when he heard a sigh on the wind. It was from the canine but Harry could do nothing but watch as it disappeared over the hill headed to the castle. It was interesting, Harry thought, but he would have to wait till later to investigate. He was out here to see Edge tonight.
It didn’t take long for Harry to find himself in front of a rock that was as tall as he was. He sensed that Edge was nearby even though he couldn’t see him. Harry called out for the man in a whisper knowing that he would be heard regardless. Harry jumped when Edge stepped out on top of the rock but was soon calmed by the smile that the other man wore. It was an open smile that made the man’s eyes shine. Harry was very glad that he had come if only to see the man happy.
“I’m glad you could make it.” Edge jumped down from the rock landing neatly on his feet, walked to the two steps over to where Harry stood, and enveloped him in a tight hug. “I’ve been trying to see you for the past week, young one, but I could never get through.”
Harry stepped back and looked at his Sire curiously. “What do you mean?”
“You haven’t heard me?” Edge looked closely at Harry. “I’ve been calling you, young one, but you never answered. I had to resort to visiting your dreams.” He tilted Harry’s head up to look into the emerald orbs so full of confusion. “Wait a minute.” he whispered and leaned closer to Harry.
Harry froze and felt himself blush at the closeness of the dark haired vampire. His heart pounded unnecessarily making him feel dizzy. He saw Edge take a couple of sniffs before the others mouth claimed his own. Harry gasped which gave Edge the opportunity to run his tongue past Harry’s lips to run along his gums, teeth, and tongue. It was almost as though Edge were tasting for something and it soon became obvious that Edge wasn’t finding it when he stiffened and Harry felt the anger pour of his Sire in waves. Harry couldn’t help but whimper and press closer trying to sooth the man’s foul mood. His actions were rewarded by Edge pushing him away and jumping out of Harry’s line of vision. Harry stumbled a few steps into the tree behind him before he gathered himself enough to determine what was going on around him. Edge was gone but in his place was a snow white leopard atop the rock with its back arched and mouth wide open in a growling hiss. Black circular spots dotted the white fur in a unique pattern that Harry was sure was unique to this one magnificent animal. Harry was enthralled by the beauty of the cat that was growling and swiping paws at the large canine barking and growling at it.
“Get down here.”
“You must think me a fool, mutt.” A paw swiped at Padfoot’s head who barely dodged it just in time jumping back in earnest.
“Padfoot! Leave him alone.”
The black dog glanced back and forth between Harry and the cat before trotting over to stand in front of Harry. Transforming, Sirius wrapped Harry in a hug before turning to glare at the big cat still on the rock. “You will leave Harry alone.”
A growl resounded from the cat before it jumped from the rock turning back into Edge before it hit the ground and was nose to nose with Sirius before the man could blink. “Why should I?”
“You’ve done enough damage and…”
“Me? I’ve done damage? I’m not the one starving him!”
“I’m not starving my godson!”
“You could have fooled me!”
“I’m right here!” The two men went quiet but continued to stare each other down; blue to gold. Harry moved in between the two men pushing them back from each other before turning to look at his godfather. “What are you doing here?”
“I should be asking you that, Harry. You know it isn’t safe out here.” Harry didn’t miss the pointed look that Sirius sent his Sire. He heard Edge growl behind him.
“Hush.” Harry sent to Edge giving the man a soft smile when he just rolled his eyes. He turned back to Sirius. “I’m with Edge. I am perfectly safe.”
“Sure. He just turned you into a vampire not too long ago. Perfectly safe.” Sirius rolled his eyes at the irony of Harry’s statement. He sighed. “Alright. You’ve seen him, now come on before a search party is sent after you.”
Edge stepped forward with a glared aimed at Sirius. “And you are not a search party?” He raised an eyebrow when Sirius went to reply and jumped back in before the convict could say anything else. “Either way, he is not returning until I am sure that he is getting the proper nutrition he needs.”
Sirius glared. “What are you talking about?”
“Blood, you idiot. He needs it to develop normally.” There was a growl to Edge’s voice that sent shivers running through Harry again. He was amazed at how responsive he could be to a mere voice.
“I thought…” Sirius had tilted his head in his confusion looking very much like his canine alter ego.
“Not enough apparently.” Edge growled and moved back into Sirius’ personal space dragging Harry behind him ignoring the green eyed teen when he tried to fight him off. “Whatever he is being fed curbs the cravings but it’s not enough. He needs actual blood and he isn’t getting it.”
“I volunteered.” Sirius ground out between clenched teeth. It was not sitting well that he was being accused of starving his godson, or just not taking care of him in general. “I was told it was covered.”
Edge stepped back after a minute of staring at the other man in front of him. He breathed deep through his nose disguising his scenting of the air as a deep sigh. The dark haired wizard was telling the truth. “I see.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “Who is he staying with?” Edge took note of the groan from his Childe and the sneer of the godfather.
“Professor Snape.” His Childe answered. “He teaches potions.”
“I take it you do not like him.”
“Hardly anyone does.” Harry shrugged. “He stays in the dungeons though so…”
“It is safer. I will give them credit for that.” Edge stepped back towards the rock ignoring Sirius as he stepped closer to Harry and wrapped an arm over his godsons shoulder. He wouldn’t blame the man for protecting his young, even if said young was adopted in a sense. Edge wanted to take Harry away from those that were unknowingly hampering his Childes growth. More than likely they figured this was an easy solution to a potentially big problem, and it would be, if the boy didn’t need the strength and talents that came with being what he was. Edge sighed turning back to the two males standing closer to the tree line. Sirius looked like he wanted to take Harry up and bolt but knew he wouldn’t be able to outrun the vampire in front of him. Edge couldn’t stop a small smirk from forming as the convict twitched nervously. He would love teasing the human later; right now he had to make sure that Harry got what he needed. “You said you volunteered, correct.”
It wasn’t really a question but Sirius nodded in answer anyway. Harry was not having it. “No. I will not feed off my godfather.”
“Harry…” Sirius started but once again Harry budged in. “No.”
Edge sighed as he took in the young mans posture. He would not give into this without a fight and it was a fight that Edge had no wish of having. “What other choice do you have?”
“I could come with…”
“No.” Edge’s voice was sharp in a way that Harry had never heard it before. “It is too dangerous to be with me right now. You are to stay where you are protected and safe.”
Harry stared at Edge with the want to argue clear in his eyes. Sirius watched the older vampire closely and noticed the relaxed yet weary stance he took when Harry slowly nodded and looked down. He couldn’t figure out the other man for the life of him. Sirius wanted to throw curses at the other but found that he strangely couldn’t; not after what he had been witnessed to tonight. It was clear that the brunette cared for Harry but Sirius couldn’t figure out if it was just because he was required to because he was Sire to Harry’s Childe, or if there was something else there that was the driving force. Even so, Sirius didn’t move away from his charge as Edge walked up to them.
“You need to feed in order to grow, young one.” Harry glanced up at the older man. His voice was back to its soft humming timbre that made him feel so safe. “If Sirius is your only option, then you must take what you can from him. You will need to be careful the first few feedings since you have been without for so long, and even after you will need to watch for the signs that you have taken enough.” Edge looked over at Sirius. “You are only one man, and for now, I’m afraid, you just won’t be enough. Harry is still young, growing, and coming into his talents. He will need more than you alone can give him.”
“Then what do I do?”
Edge looked at Harry and took in his defeated stance and resigned voice. He also noticed that Sirius never once removed his eyes from him. His sky blue eyes once again connected with the warm and yet so tormented blue eyes of Harry’s godfather. He reached out and touched the other man softly with his powers and smiled when Sirius flinched and tried jerking away from him. He reached further and cradled the other. “Relax, I am not pulling you under. I am merely curious.”
“About what?” Sirius ground out; his body tense and ready to either attack or bolt depending on what Edge did next.
Edges did nothing more and nothing less than just sit where he was. “About everything really.” He smiled softly and breathed deeply through his mouth making sure to catch all the scents in the air on his tongue. The motion was similar to that of a snake but it did come in handy. The particular man in front of him tasted of earth and, ironically, of dog, particularly wet dog, but Edge ignored that and moved on to the baser tastes of the man’s scent. There was something musky just below the surface that Edge couldn’t put a name to at the moment. It intrigued him. Edge released his hold of Sirius but made sure to leave a small but powerful tingle of magic connected to the man’s hand. Sirius jerked at the feeling and glared at the vampire. “Tell this, Snape, that since he is currently Harry’s little protector, that he is also to help keep the boy fed.”
“What?” Harry sputtered. “You have got to be kidding me!”
“The greasy git could poison him!” Sirius blanched at the idea of Harry feeding from the Potions Master that lived to be a pompous arse. The vampire couldn’t be serious.
“I am not kidding and no, Sirius, he will not poison Harry.”
Harry shook his head at his Sire. Edge had to be crazy. “He will never agree to this.”
Edge merely laughed. “If he puts up a fight all Sirius has to do is touch him. I doubt he will have much fight afterwards.”
“Why him?”
Edge looked closely at Sirius. He knew that man wouldn’t truly fight him, survival instincts and all that, but he actually liked the dark haired convict. “You cannot keep Harry fed on your own. Seeing as this Snape is a professor in your school, he can’t give as much as you can, so this still won’t balance things out. He is still the best resource though of a quick ‘bite’ so to speak until Harry can get to you. It will still take some strain off of you until I can work something else out.”
Sirius still shook his head. “Dumbledore will have a field day with this.”
“Dumbledore?” Edge crossed his arms over his chest at the mention of the Headmaster. He knew of the man from Voldemort and knew that Harry probably thought of the man as a grandfatherly figure. He shook his head. “He’s not to know for now.”
Both of them gave him incredulous looks. “You can’t be serious?” Sirius spoke first making Edge smile briefly at the pun before Harry spoke up. “Even if we did manage to keep it from him, Snape would tell him instantly.”
“Not likely.” Edge shook his head and winked at the two of them. “Remember, just touch him.”
Sirius glanced wearily at his hand, which was still tingling with unleashed vampire power, then back up to Edge. “Just what exactly am I going to be passing on here?”
Edge gave a smile so full of mischief that Sirius couldn’t help but return it although with less enthusiasm. “Oh, just a message.”
Harry just smiled at the life coming out of his Sire.
