Harry's POV

Bringing Neville back home was a stretch as the guy looks like I'm separating a couple forcefully. He wants to go back to his husband's arm. "You know, you can text him right?" I said to the gloomy gardener.

"I know.... Is everyone ok?" I showed him the text messages. "Luna got it covered. She already sent me a list of people being mated to our family members. Also, the twins are laughing at the revelation of their father being kidnapped by his vampire mate. They just met and now, he's going to be stuck there for a while. Hope he's fine, though."

Neville nods and I continue to drive in silent. I parked the car and went inside. It was quite silent with half of the residents gone. Draco and his parents are on their floor, Blaise and Theo are in the family library, Sirius is babysitting the kids with Remus, Charlie and Bill are out of town searching for ancient temples, Fred and George are opening their new branch, and Xeno is telling care of Snow.

"I'm going to my room. Wanna come?" Neville invited and I said yes. I'm bored anyway. Neville's bedroom was decorated with plants from top to bottom. It's a open and sunny too, with build-in UV lights for the plants. It's green and white themed too.

"Don't you ever feel blind in your room? It's so sunny

"Don't you ever feel blind in your room? It's so sunny."

"Not really," I laid down on the bed, stretching my arms out like a starfish. "I like the open concept. It's like sleeping in my garden. It's nice." I rolled my eyes and made myself comfy while Neville lounges on his rocking chair with a book in hand and hot chocolate on the coffee table.

I'll shut my eyes for a bit.... "Harry, wake up! Wake up! Someone wants to see you!" Neville woke me up from my nap. "Urgh, who is it...." I asked, rubbing my eyes and sitting upright on the edge of the bed.

"Edward."

"Who?"

"Edward Cullen," Neville groans. "The one who looked at you like you're a snack, like in a sexual way." I remember now. That weird lookalike. "Why is he here?" He just gave me a shrug and tells me that Edward wants to speak to me about something important.

"Fine..." I got out of bed and walked down to the living room. Edward was sitting on the sofa anxiously. He kept messing with his hands and shaking his legs. "What's gotten into you?" I asked as I came into the room. "You're here.... Listen, Alice saw something bad is going to happen and I wanted to warn you about it."

"Slow down there, pianist. You're seriously telling me about your family members' powers. In my home. Right now?"

"Yes. I know I can trust you." I was super surprised to hear that. Seeing as we're an unknown supernatural to them. Or did they find out about us? "Do you know who we are, Edward?" I asked, staring straight into his eyes.

"No, I don't. But, I trust my gut. The same goes with my family. I wanted to warn you that a group of nomads are wandering around town for a few weeks. Alice saw them catch a whiff of one of your scents and started a hunting party. I just came to warn you about it. The nomads are dangerous and have powers like us."

Kid, I fought an army of wizards, witches, werewolves and vampires. I also faced a dragon, a dozen dementors and a 12 foot basilisk. A nomad of vampires? That's like a walk in the park. "Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be sure to inform the others. In the meantime, why don't we go out somewhere?"

Edward blushed at the invitation but said yes. I grabbed my keys and we walked to my car. I asked him if he wanted to drive. He looked excited and nodded excitedly while grabbing the keys from my hand and opened the door for me.

I got inside and he rushed to the driver's seat. He started the engine and we drove off. "Where do you wanna go?" "Somewhere special. I'm going to show you the wizarding world as thanks for the heads up." Edward looked shocked and almost drove through a red light. His mouth opened and closed, shocked at the sudden revelation.

"Careful there, darling. Yes, I'm a wizard and so is my family. Except for Moony.... and the rest of us, but that's a story for another time. We come from another world. I'll explain it to you later but long story short, I had to end a war at age 17 and I wanted to get away from the public as I was betrayed by my close friends and family. I told the authorities and they were punished. My true family came with me to Forks for a fresh start."

Edward closed his mouth and continued driving. Occasionally, he would ask about the wizarding World and what it's like living there. I told him that I came from Britain and that they are very old-fashioned with a little modernization. The woman still wears dresses as everyday wear except when they're doing some rigorous activities and arranged marriages are normal for Pureblood families. There is also some sort of hierarchy and family status lean in politics and marriages. We still use quills and we can't use muggle technology as it usually explodes when we touch it.

"Wait but you were using a cell phone and computer just fine?"

"That's because we wore rune bracelets and the gadgets came from our world. They look and work the same way as a muggle device but it has runes sketched into it to let the magic flow through without it exploding. The same goes with our vehicles. We got all of it from America and Germany."

"Oh, can I see it?" I handed him my phone. Edward scrolled through it and he finally noticed the witches hat logo at the back. "It's made by a magical tech company in Germany. They are more modern than us but we still keep our traditions and religion in our life. For example, we celebrate Yule and Samhain in the olden ways.

On Yule, we carved symbols and runes onto a log and burn it in the fireplace to welcome in the new year and to renew our good luck. On Samhain, we do a ritual to connect and meet with our dead loved ones and to block the bad spirits from coming into our world. There's a lot more but those two are the main ones."

"Wow. That's..... amazing." We continue the drive to a bar. Edward looked at me weirdly but I told him to just follow me. We headed inside. I greeted the barkeeper and asked him if we could use the backdoor. The barkeeper gave me a smirk and pointed at the wall that is near the stage. "Come back here again when you need a drink." I gave him my goodbye and went back to my mate, I'm just going to accept it now.

I pull Edward towards the entrance. "This is a wall, Harry." Edward stated but I winked at him and started to tap the brick wall in a certain order. It started to fold in, revealing the Moonlight Alley. His jaw dropped in shock and I laughed at his expression. I lightly held his hand, making him jump in surprise. I pulled him in as the wall closed behind us.

"Not so much of a wall is it, Edward Cullen? Now, come on. Let's have some fun, shall we?"
