Chapter One

Hermione knew that her love for Ron was more like a brother than a lover, in fact she couldn't bring herself to fall in love with anyone. After they won the war she wanted a change in scenery so she packed up her bags and went to live in the United States but she didn't not go alone, in fact George Weasley closed his joke shop for good and went with her. They bounced from place to place until they finally settled on Forks, Washington and since it was a small town they figured it was they safest place to be. Her with her panic attacks and PTSD and George with his depression over the fact he lost his twin. Hermione figured as long as she was going to live in a small town, she might as well continue her education; so she had George act as her "Uncle" and enrolled into High School as a Junior.

She hadn't been in the school all that long when she saw someone who reminded her of someone she knew in her past life. She knew that she had lived in America during the Civil War and was in a realationship with a young man who broke her heart when he went off to war. When he never came back like he promised, she died of a broken heart; only to be reborn every so often in search of her soul mate. But like the first time she died each time at the age of nineteen, without finding him. This time around she knew that she only had a year before she would perish in some kind of accident and be reborn yet again with a new name and face but with the memories of all her past lives. When she saw him, her heart just about stopped beating; she knew it couldn't be him because he had died in 1863 taking her heart with him.

It wasn't until she heard his first name that she freaked out and left school that day without thinking that it was just a coincidence. Instead of going home she went to the forest that surrounds the school, as she was sitting there trying not to have a panic attack all the emotions she was holding back for the past few weeks came flooding in. After a an hour or so she felt like she could return to school and face the one that held his face, the one who still haunted her dreams all these lifetimes. It was lunch time by the time she returned so she went straight to the lunch room to sit at her usual table in the back, as always everyone was talking about the strange 'new' girl but this time they were also talking about the strange 'new' kids as well. She could feel a set of eyes watching her from afar and a strange sensation as if someone was trying to break her in barriers of her mind. It wasn't like what the wizards and witches did back in the wizarding world, it was more like a natural sensation almost as if they were just trying to get a read on who she was and not trying to learn her deepest darkest secerts.

When she looked up to see if she could find the source of the intrusion, she looked right into five sets of golden eyes. One being the one who looked just like the guy who broke her heart in her first life time, the next being a girl with short dark brown hair who was sitting really close to a guy who could pass for Cedric Diggory's twin if she didn't know better. Across from them was a beautiful blonde sitting next to a dark haired guy who had his arm around her, they were sitting there looking at me as if they were trying to size her up. The short haired one leaned into the one she was sitting close to and whispered something to him, he just continued to look at her as if he was trying to get a read on her. Before she could work up the nerve to go over and confront them, the lunch bell rang signaling the end of lunch and the begining of sixth period.

For her that meant English class and the chance to pick what book she was going to write her report on, as she went to enter the class room her book bag broke from all the weight she was carrying. Since she and George made a promise not to do magic unless it was a matter of life or death she couldn't place a extention charm on her bag, so that meant she was stuck with carrying the burden of a heavy book bag. So when she bag broke she silently swore to Merlin and bent over to pick up all her books, she felt sparks shoot up her arm as a cold pale hand tounched hers. When she looked up, it was straight into his eyes; the very eyes that if had been brown then she would have had no doubt in her mind that it was him. "Ma'am are you alright? You seem as if you have seen a ghost, name's Jasper Hale. I hear your new here as well, I think they are saying your from England?" he said with a hint of a southeren accent in his voice.

She took a deep breathe and nodded as she quickly gathered her books she bolted into the classroom hoping to get away from him; it wasn't because he wasn't extremely hot or the fact his voice made parts of her melt that she fought hard to keep iced over, it was because he looked to much like her Jasper. Her Jasper who lost in her first lifetime, the one who promised to come back to her and be hers always but instead winding up breaking her heart in pieces. Now here it was a year before this lifetime is up and she meets the one guy who looked alot like her Jasper but with different eyes. She sat down in the back of the classroom hoping to forget about him and just get on with the class, just as she finally got her emotions under control the teacher threw a curve ball in to the way they would be doing their reports. They would be assigned partners and they would have to read aloud a section of the book in front of the entire class.

She was barely paying attention to what was being said after she heard the news, that was until she heard the title of the book and her partner's name. She was to read apart of Romeo and Juilet out loud with one Jasper Hale, the other new kid in the class; her heart dropped once again, she suddenly felt as if her whole world was getting away from her and she couldn't catch up. "Well Miss Granger, it looks like we are going to be spending some time together. If you don't mind why don't you come over to my house this afternoon and we can get started on our assignment. I promise no harm will come to you and may I call you Mia?" he whispered in her ear. Then the sparks she felt in the hallway were back as she felt him touch her hand as he handed her a copy of the book they were assigned.

She just nodded and placed her copy on top of the rest of her books that she had to carry for the day. Mia was a name that she hadn't been called she was alive the first time, it was his special name for her. It was something he had called her from the time they were little to the day he left her to join the Army, to be honest she didn't let Ron or Harry call her that. For some reason ever time she looked at him, she felt the ice that was holding her heart and soul hostage start to melt and that scared her to no end. Breaking her own rule she agreed to let him call her Mia but only him, there was just something about him that called out to her almost like she wanted to tell him everything from her first life to the fact she was a non-practicing witch. After class was over she went to pick up her books but Jasper came around the desks and took them for her, saying something like his father would chastise him for not escourting a lady to her next class.

Come to find out he had the same class with her again, but luckly two of his 'adopted' family members were with them in the class. It was the short dark haired girl and the blonde girl, they sat with him the middle while she sat in the front of the class trying to figure out the math that seemed to be giving her a headache. By the time the day had ended she had some how had the whole school talking about how the only one of the Cullen's that was single had just aquired the other new girl in schools attention, it wasn't until she arrived at his home that everything changed for both of them.
