Life Happens
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter or Twilight series or have any rights to them.
AN: I used to write a lot of Harry Potter Fan-fiction, but stopped and deleted all my stories my senior year of high school. Recently I've gotten a few ideas running through my head and decided to try and type one out. This is a Harry Potter and Twilight crossover. I hope you guys enjoy!
Important notes: While Harry Potter is set/starts before the Twilight books do the time line in this story will be different. Everything in the Twilight books will happen before the Harry Potter books. In fact, the events of the Twilight books will be moved around and changed a little. Bella will still move to Forks when she is 17 for her junior year of high school, but she will have just graduated Hogwarts a year early. The vampire crew doesn't know Bella is a witch. This is going to ignore the last two books completely and most of the second book of Twilight. Harry is going to have just been born during Bella's senior year. The Cullens leave in September after Bella's birthday party (September 13th). Harry was born almost a year and ten months later on July 31st. According to the books Harry should be 7 years older than Bella- but in this she will be 19 years older. Therefore, in order to compromise, Bella will be born in 1979, instead of 1987, and the year my story starts in is 1998- the year when Harry is meant to be born. I'm a 80s baby so I hope I'll be able to remember and write this well enough. (Harry will be 15 in 2013- so part of this story will be written in our current future.)
Chapter One: When you left…
Bella POV
Edward left and he took his family with him. I should have seen it coming, maybe that way I wouldn't have been so torn apart. I never thought that I was good enough for their perfect family, but they always said they felt otherwise. What a bunch of pretty lies they told. Vampires are easily distracted, he told me. Was that really all I was? It didn't matter now. They were gone, no goodbyes but the heartbreaking one Edward left me. I didn't know where they went and I didn't have the energy to try and find them again. I was about to tell him too- my secret.
I am a witch, a pureblood and quite powerful one to be exact. I decided to live with my squib father for a while, after graduating Hogwarts. I had only seen him summers when I began Wizarding school, and after a few years that turned into only Christmas holidays, and then not at all. I missed him and decided to finish my muggle schooling in the States so that I could spend two or three years with him before pursuing a career in magical society. My mother understood- she was traveling with her new muggle husband after all- and my cousin, James, had also just gotten married not too long ago, so he was busy with starting his new family.
James Potter is my cousin on my mother's side, her maiden name being Potter. Her father was James's father's older brother. Both brothers/grandfathers are now dead, along with my mother's cousin and cousin-in-law, whom I considered my aunt and uncle- James's parents. They were all killed in the war with Grindelwald and my mother took James in after her cousin and cousin-in-law's deaths. James, only half a year older than me, and I grew up together in England, after my mother left my father, so we have always been close. We are more like brother and sister than cousins. His new wife Lily and I quickly became good friends in school, even before she began dating James. All of his friends and I are rather close and a lot like family. They all kept in constant touch while I spent some time with my dad.
When I moved to Washington, it was easy to fit in. From all the times I visited my dad I got used to using an American accent and acting like a muggle, so much so that I forgot I could use magic at times. Because of this, I was not expecting to come across anything magical during my stay in Forks, so when I met Vampires I was quite surprised. Life with them became easy as well, maybe a bit to easy. I should have never let myself get so close, so drawn in. I wouldn't be as hurt as I was when they left.
The pain I felt after they left wasn't the only shocking surprise I received. Werewolves were one. Jacob and some of the reservation kids wound up being shape-shifters, to be exact, that turned into wolves. I knew they weren't real werewolves. I was close friends with Remus after all, and could tell the signs of a real werewolf right away. I got close with Jacob Black, no relation to Sirius, after a few months of moping around in self-loathing and pain. Some time around March he got me to open up again, and while I felt bad that I couldn't return his growing affections, I had fun trying new things to remind me what thrill was. And while motorcycles were nowhere near a broom, cliff diving was pretty close.
Second was from my cousin's wife, Lily. All along Lily, James, and the crew had been sending me letters the muggle way. After the Cullens left, they began sending them by owl. They figured no one was watching me closely any more so it was safe. I began to get more letters more often, which helped me through the pain I was feeling and helped me become my normal self again. It was shortly after my 19th birthday, in the middle of October, that I received a letter from Lily sent via a post owl. Usually Lily and James wrote their letters together and sent James's owl, Horus. Because of this oddity I quickly opened her letter. Lily was a nervous wreck. She had missed her period and didn't know who to talk to. I quickly wrote back and arranged to call her on a muggle phone. About a month later it was confirmed that she was indeed pregnant. After talking back and forth via phone and owl for a week, Lily and I decided I would move back to England to be closer to them and help Lily through her pregnancy. Magical pregnancies are different form muggle ones, and I was one of the few close female friends Lily had. Plus, I was going to be an Aunt.
The third surprise was from Alice Cullen. Around the time I had gotten Lily's letter I had gotten it in my head to go cliff diving. In mid-October the water was still relatively warm, and on my own with nothing to do, it seemed like a good idea. I knew if Lily was pregnant I would be returning to England and so a last minute muggle thrill would be a fun thing to do before going home. Unfortunately Alice saw my little stunt. After not seeing me for so long and having the vision out of the blue she freaked out. Apparently she couldn't see anything about me when the werewolves were around me, so she didn't see Jacob pull me out of the ocean, and thought I had died. She confided in Rosalie her fears and Rosalie opened her big mouth and called Edward. Edward, being the over emotional vampire he is, went to the Volturi in Italy to get himself killed. Alice felt only I could stop him, so on a chilly November day I arrived home to find her on my front porch waiting for me. So here I am running through Voltera, Italy trying to get to Edward before he did anything stupid- like reveal himself to humans on St. Marcus's Day. He's lucky I am in shape!
I reached Edward just as he was about to step out into the sun. I don't know how, but I somehow managed to knock him back into the shade of the building. Alice soon rushed in behind me, while Edward babbled about how I was dead. I rolled my eyes and tried to tell him I never died. I thought I would be happier when I saw him again, or at least have a horrible ache in my chest. I guess too much had happened since he left last year and I've grown up. What is that muggle saying? What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Soon we heard footsteps approaching behind us. I turned around and saw three red-eyed vampires smirking at us.
"Aro would like to see you. All of you." The short female vampire with light blond hair said to us. It looks like that saying was really going to be put to the test.

AN: If there is any questions or comment please review! I know it was short! Hopefully the next chapter will be longer!
