Shattered Souls • Hedric

Chapter Fourteen

Edward sat in a rocking chair next to Harry's bed rocking his tiny daughter. Twelve hours later and Harry was still asleep from almost draining his magical core. Edward looked into his daughters one of a kind eyes, and smiled. How could he forget her? How could he forget Harry, his soul mate? Edward didn't have all his memories back, but whatever Harry did while saving their daughter, had started to slowly unlock his memories. Edward saw everything, from him saving Harry from almost taking his own life, to grabbing the cup in the final task. Edward smiled when his daughter grabbed his finger. He missed out on so much. How was Harry able to support the pregnancy without his magic helping? How did Harry keep them both alive in Azkaban? Edward shuttered, he couldn't believe that Harry had spent eight months in that hell hole. Edward lifted his head to Harry, and sighed. " Fred, you don't have to hide in the hall. I'm not angry with you."

Fred slowly walked into the room, eyes instantly landing on Harry. He had came so close to losing Harry today. Fred released the breath that he had been holding. " I'm not going to apologize for kissing him."

Edward chuckled, he could hear Fred's thoughts loud and clear. " You love him Fred, I can't blame you for that. I have known since first meeting Harry in his third year, that you had feelings for him."

" You got your memories back?" asked Fred, shocked. No matter how deeply he wanted Harry, he wanted Harry happy even more, and he knew that Harry would only be truly be happy with Cedric.

" No, not all of them but most concerning Harry. Over the last twelve hours they have been slowly returning." Edward looked to his red headed friend. " He was enjoying that kiss." said Edward softly.

Fred smirked " That was an amazing kiss. For so long I have fantasized what it would be like kissing Harry." Fred chuckled when Edward started growling. " Don't worry, I know Harry will never be mine. I'm just glad that he has you again. He has been so lost and hurt without you." Fred looked to Harry. " He has been hurt bad, Cedward."

Edward looked to Fred, confused. " What did you just call me?"

Fred chuckled. " Well, what do we call you now? You were Cedric for seventeen years, but for the last hundred or so you have been Edward. It's really bloody confusing."

Edward chuckled but looked to Harry sadly. " I'm going to stick with Edward. Tell me again what happened to him. I know Professor Snape explained some things before, but I was confused then. I don't think half sunk in and what did, it's to horrific to believe."

Fred pulled up a chair and sat next to Edward. Sadly, he looked to Leora. Fred was use to being the one who always held, and looked after her when Harry couldn't. " Give me time Fred, I can't hand her over just yet. My instincts are screaming to take her and Harry and run. My instincts are also telling me to punish you for daring to touch what was mine. Let's not test my restraint right now." warned Edward.

" I heard you could read minds, I'm going to have to get a charm against that." laughed Fred.

" Please do. Your mind is a sick, scary place, Fred Weasley." said Edward grinning at Fred.

Fred laughed then dropped his eyes to his lap. " They were horrible to him, they all were. They all stood up at the trial proclaiming that he was evil, the next Dark Lord. They yelled at him, called him names and spat on him."

Edward closed his eyes trying to calm his vampire. " Please tell me that Sirius and Remus didn't turn their backs on him. They meant the world to him." Edward remembered how Harry would go on and on telling him how loving and wonderful they were. He remembered how Harry cried when he couldn't go live with Sirius after third year. Edward hated leaving Harry on the platform knowing that he had to go back to his abusive relatives.
