He looked at his clock it was the ass crack of dawn. He silently crept to the window, careful not to trip on Jason, who was sleeping in a sleeping bag on their floor. Harry opened the window and climbed onto the roof right outside of it.

On the roof was Edward Fucking Cullen looking as pristine as ever in jeans and a green t-shirt. 

"Good morning," he said pleasantly. Harry glared at him. "Get dressed I want to show you something," Edward said rolling his eyes at the glare Harry was blatantly giving him. Harry sighed, "There's no use in ignoring you and going back to sleep is there?" The sun hadn't risen yet the moon casting a mysterious glow onto Edward's face. "Nope." He said haughtily.

Harry turned and carefully climbed off the roof into the quiet bedroom. He grabbed an outfit and snuck to the bathroom, changing quickly and brushing his teeth, his hair was a lost cause. He went down the stairs jumping over the creaky third step to the ground floor. He unlocked the door and snuck out into the dark morning warmth, spring had brought. 

Edward was standing near his famous silver Volvo, texting someone on his phone.

"Get in." He said when he saw Harry walking towards him. Harry obliged getting into the passenger seat and buckling his seatbelt. After a moment of silence, he asked the question. "Where are we going?" Edward just smirked, as he pulled out of the driveway, driving slowly at first. 

"You'll see." Was all he said before the car abruptly accelerated, and sped down the road. 

Harry didn't say anything as the trees flew by his window. Edward slowed as they made it to a dirt parkway. He parked the car before walking around to Harry's door and opening it for him. 

Harry slowly got out, his knees were still shaky from the ride. Edward fidgeted for a moment before gesturing for Harry to climb onto his back.

Harry did, and he wrapped his arms around Edward's neck and his legs around his waist. 

The taller began to stroll towards the forest. "Fare warning, I would close my eyes." He said. Harry buried his face into Edward's shirt. Then they began to move, Harry could tell it was very quickly. 

By the time the 2-hour trip was finished, Harry's legs had fallen asleep. So he understandably stumbled when he was finally let down. The morning light, filtered through the trees. 

Harry opened his eyes. He and Edward were situated in the most beautiful field, in the shade of a tree in the direct center of it. Small flowers of all hues grew out of the long grass. 

Little insects were crawling around and the air smelled of morning dew and fresh grass. The wind blew softly across Harry's face as he breathed in. The vampire next to him was still, very still. 

"It's beautiful," Harry said looking at Edward. 

Edward puffed his chest slightly at the praise. Before he got up and moved into the warmth of the sunlight. Harry got up to join him. The two just stood there basking in the warmth.

Harry looked at Edward before speaking softly. 

"I once knew someone who looked exactly like you. . . he was very kind and always helped others and everyone adored him." 

Edward looked at Harry, intrigued. "What happened to him," Edward whispered finally. 

"He entered a tournament of challenges and got through the first two just fine, but on the third, he- he was murdered." Harry's voice grew even quieter and had Edward not been the vampire Harry knew him to be he wouldn't have heard it. 

"Murdered." Edward echoed hollowly.

"What was his name?" 

Harry was silent for a few moments to the point that Edward thought he didn't hear him and as Edward went to ask again, Harry responded.

"Cedric." 

Edward for the first time noticed tears falling freely down Harry's cheeks, the salty drops falling down his chin into the grass below. Edward felt a pang of heartache and he reached over to wipe the tears dry. Edward pulled Harry into his arms, hugging him tightly, but not too tightly, Edward rested his head on Harry's messy black hair. Harry leaned his head onto Edward's chest, still crying as he hugged back. 

Edward was invaded by the scents of some sort of dessert, the ocean, and lighting. It smelled nice. He subconsciously nuzzled into Harry further. 

They stood there silently while Harry calmed. It may have been seconds or hours, but time is relative. Finally, Edward gently grasped Harry's hand and gently pulled away. He gestured to Harry to hop on his back and he began to run back to the car. He was going to take Harry to meet his family.

When they got to the car Edward gently set Harry in the passenger seat. Edward did slow down slightly this time around. As he pulled up the driveway of the Cullen household Harry marveled at the white home with many windows. With lovely wind chimes hanging from the wrap-around porch, which had a swing swaying gently on it. 

Edward hopped out of the car with Harry hesitantly following suit. While it was a beautiful morning the afternoon seemed to have a different plan as the clouds were beginning to darken. Harry eyed the cloud mass wearily, what got Zeus' panties in a twist this time?

Edward led the way inside the house. It was very clean inside, the white marble floor shone, and everything from the floor to the glittering chandelier in the foyer was decorated in white. It was beautiful, but a cold kind of beautiful. It looked sterile, like no one lived there and it was only a set for a Home and Gardens magazine. Not like seven people (vampires) live there. 

Standing at the top of the steps in the foyer was a beautiful woman and a man standing next to her his hand on her waist. They too looked like they came from a magazine. The woman had caramel-colored hair and a heart-shaped face with golden eyes. And the man looked like a model he had blonde hair and a muscular frame. It was Dr. Cullen and what must have been his wife Esme Cullen. 

"Hello dear," Ms. Cullen said, walking down the steps and hugging Edward. Edward slightly nodded as if she had said something and Esme turned to Harry. "Hello, I'm Esme Cullen, you can call me Esme though. It's so nice to finally meet you, we've heard so much about you from our children," she said hugging Harry. 

"Have you?" Harry asked, peering over at Edward who was fiddling on his phone and pretending not to have heard him, with a slight grin on his face. 

Esme just laughed. "Come dear allow me to show you around," she said as she pulled Harry away from Edward. Dr. Cullen and Edward shared a fond look as the two chattered down the hall.
