The Safe Wizards

32: Explanations

It took Harry a few seconds to understand why he felt so good when he woke up, even though he remembered perfectly well that he had collapsed the day before following his break-up with Charlie. His heart that had been aching the night before now seemed to be in a cocoon of love. Something fresh, but very pleasant was pressed against him... "oh shit" he thought as he put the pieces together. He opened his eyes to Jasper who was looking at him lovingly while stroking his hair.

"Hi," said the vampire.

His voice made Harry shiver with well-being, but it wasn't enough to remove the apprehension he felt about the discussion ahead.

"Is it because I came without an invitation that you're stressing out like this?" whispered Jasper.

"I thought you couldn't feel my emotions when you touched me."

"We have a lot to discuss."

Harry looked at his soul mate, not sure if he was mad at him or not.

"I'm not mad at you, but I'd like to understand what happened and where we stand."

The dark-haired man looked at him suspiciously, wondering for a moment how he could have guessed exactly what he was thinking.

"Is Edward here and telling you what I'm thinking?"

Jasper laughed, a laugh that echoed through the rest of the house.

"Well yes, Edward's here, Carlisle's here too, but no, he didn't tell me. It was just obvious."

Harry grunted, unhappy to have listeners for the upcoming conversation he grabbed his wand and cast a silence spell which also kept Edward out of the room.

"You're going to stress them out," laughed Jasper softly.

"Why?"

"I might have lost control yesterday while you were having sex."

Although he didn't do it on purpose, Harry could sense the bitterness and jealousy in the vampire's voice at that moment. He could also see the pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry," the dark-haired man whispered, lowering his eyes.

"Harry, I told you, I'm not mad at you, but I would like to understand," the vampire reassured him in a soft voice.

The wizard took a deep breath, motivated by the words of his soul mate.

"You felt the change in our connection at the lakes, didn't you?" Harry asked, knowing he had to elaborate a little so Jasper wouldn't misunderstand what he was about to say.

The vampire nodded.

"It was obvious to me at that moment that I could never leave you, and I knew my choice was made."

The smile Jasper gave him and the love he felt in his heart did him a lot of good. The vampire was eager to know everything, he needed to know that Harry would not let himself go into the redhead's arms again if they ever met again. He nodded to Harry to encourage him to continue as his hand continued to play with the ebony hair.

"There's a chance he'll be arrested and questioned by the English government," Harry continued. "If he is, they'll give him a potion that will force him to reveal everything he knows, which would put Teddy and me in great danger."

Jasper grunted, he didn't like what he heard, but his hand was still relaxed in the brown locks, showing Harry that he could continue.

"He told me that the solution was to either disappear ... or be obliviated. It's a spell that removes certain memories"
