A Twist in Fate

Summary: When the 'Golden Trio' are finally finished with the war. Hermione feels out of place, leaving her friends and family behind she travels to Forks, Washington to start fresh and live with her uncle Charlie who she hasn't seen in years. Now surprises are in store as she learns just who her uncle and his daughter Isabella 'Bella' have been living with and how it changes with her own life.

Chapter One: Charlie's niece Hermione

"Uncle Charlie!" Hermione cried, spotting her uncle across the airport waiting room and running over him, abandoning her luggage and jumping on him. Her uncle Charlie had always been so much bigger than her short figure so he had to hold her up by spinning her around laughing.

"Baby girl," Charlie grinned, so unlike him "You're finally home and look at you all grown up. You look so older,"

"Oh stop," Hermione gushed at him "I was only fifteen when I last saw you," she says, ecstatic to be back to her family.

She's been dealing with the aftermath of the war but, once everyone else was back on track-Harry and Ginny broke up which was difficult for Ginny to get over but, slowly got over it that she got back together with Dean Thomas they're now happy engaged much to Ron's displeasure, Harry on the other hand learned that he didn't feel anything with girls and surprise, surprise he's into men of course Hermione's the first one to learn the truth but, it didn't change their relationship in fact it brought them closer as siblings would be. As for Ron, he got together with Pansy Parkinson which shocked a lot of people especially Hermione as they were arch rivals at school but, after getting to know one another they're now good friends and surprisley they got married expecting their first child together. She's happy for her best friend and knew Pansy would be able to handle Ron's famous Weasley temper that he inherited from Mrs. Weasley.

She felt a little out of place and then the accident with her parents happened. Despite how she sends her family away it would seem she couldn't get a break. Her parents were on their way to a cruise to celebrate their 30 years' marriage and it was their present to send them to Hawaii. Her parents got in a car crash thanks to a drunk driver and instantly killed them. It broke Hermione's heart when she heard the terrible news.

Her older brothers Jayden and Cameron were currently working as an auror (police) in the wizarding world in America while her older sisters Ariel and Aqua were a mediwitch (nurse) in St. Mungo's and currently engaged with the Weasley twins Fred and George who were now co owners at their joke shop and thinking of extending their shops in different countries even in America near her uncle Charlie's place in Washington.

The next week, once she managed to drag herself from her bed, she called up her uncle, who's been informed of the accident by the police earlier and he agreed to let her live with him in Forks, Washington after explaining that her older siblings have their own families to think about and promised to tell call them once she safely landed with their uncle Charlie where she and her family of siblings had visited him when they were children. They were all grieving in different ways but, they all wanted to feel something other than grief. Jay and Cameron had their families to help them heal just like her sisters with Fred and George who would be happily to get them to smile while Hermione … well she was by herself with no one to talk too besides Harry of course but, still they were truly happy to see one another.

"That's true, now you're all grown up, you're nearly nineteen years old. How's Jayden, Cameron, Ariel and Aqua doing along with the twins?"

"They're all good. Jayden and Mal are expecting their 5th child which is girl while Cameron and Sophia are expecting their 3rd child which it's a boy then there's Aqua and Ariel who are planning the wedding as we speak with Fred and George Weasley who are good friends of mine. They're still planning for the wedding so it's been a busy life for them. And the twins they're learning how to walk without falling down."

"That's good, I just talked to Jayden just a while ago. He sends his regards and will be visiting soon," Charlie grinned "When's the wedding?"

"This coming summer in August," Hermione beamed at this "I'm so glad to hear that uncle Charlie I really missed you," looking up at her uncle with a smile on her face "So much,"

"Wow two of my nieces are getting married then you being the youngest it's a good thing the twins Elias and Evie are still young," Charlie grinned then looked confuse "Oh why? I mean you've only been gone for what four years just the same amount with your siblings of course,"

"Stop it," Hermione frowned, hitting him on his broad chest "You know I tried to visit you just like Jay, Cameron, Ariel and Aqua did with the war coming at the time. They had to make sure you and Isabella were safe including the twins, mom and dad which you were," she explained.

"True… true…and I appreciate that," Charlie nodded in appreciation knowing his nephews and nieces being protective with him as he felt the same way.

"Well of course you're our family uncle Charlie despite they being busy they always made sure to make time for you and myself of course when they're not busy being in the police force while Ariel and Aqua being a nurse to protect our home just like you uncle Charlie," Hermione explained.

Charlie laughed knowing his oldest nephews and his nieces "They must've got it from my side of the family," and teased her by grabbing her luggage "And oh really?"

"Yes really," Hermione insisted "I just had some trouble back in England but, it's all sorted now, there's nothing that could drag me away from you uncle Charlie. I would never leave you and neither would my siblings you'll all we got including the twins,"

"Have you gotten taller?" he asked.

Hermione could tell he was distracting her from the serious topic but, she went along with it; uncle Charlie had never been to great with emotional stuff and neither had she or her siblings but, after the war, she was determined to love everyone who was still there to love. She didn't have much but, any family she had was precious especially after what happen to her parents. Her older siblings Jayden and Cameron made sure that their baby sister was alright despite they're good intentions of course Ariel and Aqua tends to spoil her a bit when it comes with shopping then there's the twins being born during the war it was a bit of a surprise but, they love them the same. Ignoring the pang of guilt in her chest, she looked up at her uncle.

"No not really," she said, looking puzzled "Have you gotten shorter uncle Charlie?"

"Maybe…" Charlie said, measuring her with his hand. They both laughed, the hand only coming up to his muscled shoulder "Maybe not?"

"You're so mean to me,"

"You know you love me Mya," Charlie chuckled "I am, of course your favorite uncle,"

"You're my only uncle, uncle Charlie remind me to call Jayden, Cameron, Ariel and Aqua soon I promised them that I call when I land along with the twins of course,"

"I will and how lucky you are to have so much love from your favorite uncle," Charlie said, ignoring the roll of her eyes "Now come on kiddo we need get you back to the house. Do you have a phone to call them?" he asked.

"Right here," Hermione answered beaming with a smile showing her cell phone which was an IPhone 6s the latest technology in the muggle world.

Charlie whistled "Let me guess Jayden bought you that,"

"Yes, how did you know that uncle Charlie?"

Charlie shuffled into his jacket pocket showing his new cell phone IPhone 6s "Because he gave me one too apparently, he wanted to make sure that I catch up with the latest cell phones these days," he explained.

Hermione giggled "Well you know Jayden uncle Charlie he wants the best for the both of us," she nodded at this.

"True now come on we should get going before it rains," Charlie offered.

"Alright,"

"Now, Bells is out now "

"You mean Isabella," Hermione grimaced, thinking of the elusive cousin she'd never met blinking her eyes puzzled "Why? Isn't she not with Renee?"

When she was, younger and had visited with her family but, her younger cousin Isabella and her mother had never been there. For the first few years her parents had spun tales of holidays, dance classes, school visits and the likes but, she was quite a smart girl and by the age of 4 years old while Ariel and Aqua were 6 and her brothers Cameron was 9 and her brother Jayden 11 who just started his first year in Hogwarts at the time came with them. Their uncle Charlie is the only person in her family to know about them being wizards and witches since apparently in their mom's side of the family their great, great, great, great, great, grandfather was a wizard a pureblood and that's how magic came in her family—when Hermione started reception and met Jonathan a little boy with two houses, two families and who boasted about getting double the amount of presents for his birthday—she had figured it out and confronted her uncle much to the surprise of her parents and her siblings who titled their heads curiously at their baby sister.

Charlie sighed and picked up his youngest niece into his lap explaining as much as he could to the four-year-old before showing her a picture of his pale, brown haired daughter who had hair much straighter than her own mane of curls and telling her that one day she could meet her cousin. To say that Hermione was confuse and angry she had never called Renee aunty after that because she hurt her uncle.

Back then, Hermione had wanted more than anything to meet this mysterious American girl, who made her uncle Charlie so sad but, now she was just a pain in the butt. Her uncle Charlie knew everything about magic and the wizarding world but, this stranger was the exact opposite and she meant Hermione would have to hide her magic from her estrange cousin. From what her older siblings Jayden, Cameron, Ariel and Aqua aren't much a big fan of Isabella either which left her very confuse. From what her big brother Jayden told her… explaining what has occurred for her estrange cousin since she first arrived to Forks after years living with her mother Renee… it would seem she made a mess of things.

"Renee's married little lion," Charlie said, shrugging his shoulder "He's a baseball player so she's traveling with him while I look after Bells,"

"Oh… what's his name?"

"Phil,"

"Hmm…"

"I know it's strange kiddo but, you guys been gone for a long time," Charlie said looking a bit guilty "I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys,"

"I know, uncle Charlie," Hermione sighed, feeling a bit selfish. This was his first chance to spend more than just a month with his only daughter and she was worried about hiding something she'd kept for ten whole years "She doesn't know about— "

"Nothing," Charlie interrupted adamantly "You can tell her if you feel comfortable but, you don't have too and I won't say anything. Besides she's not the only person who kept secrets around here?"

"What do you mean uncle Charlie?"

"Well she found herself a boyfriend the minute she arrived here," he scowled.

Hermione titled her head curiously "I take it you don't like him uncle Charlie?" she asked curiously.

Charlie snorted "Not liking him is an understatement you'll see when you meet him trust me you won't like him either. I can guarantee that," he pointed out

"Well alright uncle Charlie," Hermione smiled "And thank you for not telling her I appreciate it that last thing I want is to cause more tension in the house uncle Charlie," trying to break the uncomfortable stiffness filled silence between them.

"No problem little lion," he laughed "Now, have you brought anything particular sweets from that sweet shop of yours for your poor old uncle who's been so terrible sad and alone since you and your siblings stopped visiting and- "

"Oh, stop it you're embarrassing yourself," Hermione grinned, stopping by the entrance to the airport opening her beaded bag and pulled out a Honey dukes bag "Ariel, Aqua and I brought all your favorites before I left just as you requested and there's some joke souvenirs from Fred and George. They send their regards to you uncle Charlie," she beamed.

"Ah now I remember why you're all my favorite especially the newest twins," Charlie said, reaching into the bag and grabbed a jelly slug. Hermione winced as she heard the squeal from the charmed sweets when her uncle Charlie ripped it's head off with his teeth.

"You really love those don't you uncle Charlie?"

"Of course, they're my favorite sweets," Charlie beamed "Now what's this?" he asked showing her the product from Fred and George.

"Oh, that's a quill most students in my school use those to write letters and writing assignments. Ariel bought the latest and expensive quills out with different colors to go with it there and thought of you there's also some products that she thought you might like,"

"Awe I'll be sure to tell her thank you when I talk to her," Charlie explained.

"I also bought enough sugar quills and blood pops to last me the year," she said, gesturing to the bag "Then I'll have to go back for more,"

"How do you fit all that stuff in there," Charlie asked, opening the boot of his car and putting her luggage inside "It's tiny,"

"It's called magic uncle Charlie," Hermione giggled, tapping her little bag with pride "Though it's one of my more ingenious creations that I might add. It made great sales at Fred and George's shop but, this is the original bag that I made,"

"Oh, who could ever neglect to bow down to your genius," Charlie said as they both got into the car "Do you want the radio on,"

"Nope," Hermione said, looking over to her uncle fondly "I'd rather much talk to you uncle Charlie,"

"Good," Charlie beamed, after long conversations he decided to put the radio on anyway.

An hour passed through as they finally arrived to the house.

"So, this is it," Charlie announced.

"It looks the same uncle Charlie?" she asked.

"It does but, I made a few changes around here once you're all settled in I'll give you a tour. I managed to convince some of the town folks to extend a few more buildings in town," Charlie explained.

"Really like what?"

"Well there's going to be a bowling alley with a restaurant next to it and we're also going to extend two more floors at the mall instead of just one it's going to be 3 floors high with more stores. I got the idea from your sisters if it wasn't for them convincing me otherwise we probably wouldn't have this idea in the first place. I even thought of extending another movie theatre closer to town if necessary then there's a flower shop. We're currently under construction and we're having some of the kids think of some ideas on what we could add into town,"

Hermione perked up "Really even a music and dance studio uncle Charlie,"

Charlie laughed at this "Of course little lion. I made that dictation for you,"

"Brilliant," Hermione perked up "I can't wait to see it uncle Charlie,"

"So, what do you think?" Charlie asked nervously, glancing at his frozen youngest niece.

The room Hermione was standing in was gorgeous. It was a tiny box-room but, she felt cozy like the pale red, pattered walls were about to sweep her into a hug and hold her till she was warm again. The single queen bed was covered with mixed colors of purple, blue red and black, where a simple cream duvet that was slightly crumbled was resting, even had a thick-looking blanket spread across the bottom that— with it's tribal design and colors-reminded her of the rug her mother had in the kitchen and about a ten scatter cushions of varying shapes and patterns. There's even a book shelf with at least five of them, if anyone knew Hermione personally she's a huge fan of books with a loads of book collections stacked inside her beaded purse.

It was then in the corner of the room that her uncle Charlie had hung fairy lights across the window with a balcony outside which was to the left of her bed so she can sit and look out through the woods. There were old, battered photos of her parents, her brothers Jayden and Cameron goofy off, her sisters Ariel and Aqua smiling and poking their tongues, her uncle Charlie and her grandparents in photo frames on the wall, a dark wood chest of drawers and where the photos weren't. Her uncle Charlie must've installed the matching shelves full of books and the empty three shelves for her fill up.

"I got a friend of Billy's—you remember your god father Billy, right? He helped me with your godparents Harry and his wife Sue Clearwater your god mother," he replied, not sure what to do.

"I— "Hermione started, unable to speak.

"I know you might not like it but, you can always change it. And I know it's small but, with Bells moving in and me being in my room I didn't know quite where else to put you so I just moved everything out of my office and put it the extra room that not even Bells know about it. It's kind of like my man cave sort of," Charlie rambled, as the silence was making him slight twitchy.

"It's beautiful," Hermione breathing, a soft smile forming on her lips turning to face her uncle who was feeling a bit more comfortable "Thank you so much," giving him a hug as she felt teared up now "I really love it uncle Charlie thank you,"

"I'm glad you love it little lion and I just wanted you to feel at home," Charlie said simply, shoving his hands into his jean pockets "I know it's not much but…"

"No, no, it's more than enough uncle Charlie," Hermione said, amused shaking her head at his humble attitude "I can't imagine anywhere that I'd rather call home uncle Charlie,"

"That's good little lion. I kind of need you there. It's too bad that your older siblings can't stay with us but, they all have their families to feed for and with your older sisters Ariel and Aqua planning the wedding. You're the only one who isn't married right?" he asked playfully joking at this.

Hermione laughed "Of course uncle Charlie," she says.

"Good, good, and with your parents leaving us I didn't want to be alone either. Your parents would've been so proud of you, Jayden, Cameron, Ariel and Aqua for fighting for what's right at the war to protect our families and I'm sure when Elias and Evie are old enough they can live here too. I'm proud of you kiddo," he replied.

Hermione soften her eyes "Thank you uncle Charlie. I'm just glad the death eaters didn't come to this town. It's a good thing that Jayden destroyed the files of our families locations and all that especially when Elias and Evie were born during the war we had to hide them in one the villas back in Tokyo, Japan. I made sure that they wouldn't be able to find it," she whispered.

Charlie nodded at this "I'm glad to know that you kids are alright little lion," he replied.

"Me too uncle Charlie," Hermione sighed understanding the feeling he was talking about "I need you too despite how old Jayden, Cam, Ariel and Aqua are since Elias and Evie are still young we all need you uncle Charlie,"

Charlie smiled hugging his niece "I know little lion. I'm just glad I didn't lose either of you guys," he starts to say looking around the room "Well I'm going to let you get settled in then kiddo," placing her suitcases by the door "Once you're done just come down and we'll sort out some dinner. Oh, and don't forget to call your siblings that you arrived safely huh?" he says.

"I will," Hermione was planning on doing that once she settled in her bedroom "And okay uncle Charlie," she says as she watched him trudged out of the room before opening her bag.

Hermione stared at her parents putting her fingers at the edges of the frame "I miss your daddy, you too mama… uncle Charlie is going to take care of me now," she whispered.

Once she placed the dark frame of her parents next to her side drawer while her pictures of her siblings smiling she knew her family is going to be alright. She'd emptied her luggage's into her drawers and now that she had finished putting her own things into the room there was a final thing that she wanted to added. She set her picture frame of Harry, herself and Ron posing. This was from Collin Creevy, she asked him to take their picture in her muggle digital camera after explaining how to use it. She remembered how he asked her for an autograph with the reception of Harry and Ron of course. He told her that he has it framed in his bedroom at home. She couldn't help but, laugh at the memory. Collin was a sweet kid.

Hermione added more pictures on her picture wall filled with her friends Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, even Draco, Blaise, Theo and Pansy. It took a while for Pansy and herself to became friends but, after the war Pansy furiously apologize to Harry for doing what she did, I think it was her breaking point and Harry being himself forgave her easily to calm her down. Pansy smiled as she wiped her tears quickly that they all became friends after that.

As for Draco, Blaise and Theo she instantly became friends with them well at first, she and Draco were a bit awkward with one another but, after she cut the awkward silence they instantly became good friends more like siblings really. She made sure that the pictures were muggle form not wanting her estrange cousin to freak out from the pictures moving.

She smiled and began to call her older brother Jayden knowing he's probably pacing back and forth waiting for her call.

[back in England-Wizarding World] …

Jayden's P.O.V.

Jayden was pacing back and forth with his wife Mal being amuse whose currently pregnant with their 5th child muttering under his breath.

"What the bloody hell is taking so long," he exclaimed.

"Jay I'm sure she just landed into Seattle, Washington as we speak you know how the flights are in the muggle world," Mal soothing her husband to calm down.

Jayden sighed tiredly "I know but, I can't help it Mal after what happen to our parents… she's the only connection I have in our family besides C, Red, Blue and uncle Charlie. Did I tell you that our estrange cousin is living with uncle Charlie right now? I don't know what's going to happen with that. Mya isn't a big fan of Renee which I don't blame her for that after all this is the same person that broke our uncle Charlie's heart and brought their only child with her," he scowls.

Mal slowly got up wobbled her way to her husband kissing his shoulder "Jay, you know Mya can take care of herself. And yes, you did, you told me this a couple of times but, what does that have to do with anything?"

"It has a lot to do with everything. That dimwitted girl is dating a bloody vampire?!" Jayden exclaimed dramatically.

Mal stared at her husband "A vampire…that's impossible…" she slowly said this.

"That's what I thought too until I found this," Jayden exclaimed slapping the folder on his desk which she wobbled her way to the file furrowing her eyebrows

"I assume the plain brunette is your so called 'cousin'. What is she doing in Rome, Italy for?" she asked.

Before he can answer, his cell phone went off which showed his sister Hermione was calling and immediately answered.

"Hello?"

"Big brother it's me,"

"Mya thank bloody god. Did you land there safely, did uncle Charlie picked up at the airport and what the bloody hell took you so long to call me?"

Jayden can feel his sister roll her eyes "You do know that I just arrived here less than an hour ago, I was just settling in my room. I figured once I'm done I would call but, I didn't think you freak out that much,"

Jayden sighed tiredly "Sorry kiddo I was just worried that's all. How's uncle Charlie?"

"He's good. I'm about to give him the presents that you and Cameron brought from Tokyo, Japan, Greece, Bahamas and Jamaica from your travels around the world,"

"Well that's good I'll call Cameron, Ariel and Aqua to let them know that you arrived there safely. So, uncle Charlie picked you up, exactly right?"

"Yes, he did he arrived at the airport an hour early the right time that my plane landed which didn't take him very long to see where I was and met up from there,"

"Good, good. I'm glad you called kiddo. Listen there's something I have to tell you?"

"Oh, what is it?"

"I rather tell you in person actually but, I'm waiting for my partner to send me some papers but, as soon as he does I'll come by and visit you guys,"

"Is it bad big brother?"

"I wouldn't call it bad… more like a 'mess of things' from our dimwitted cousin if that you can call it that,"

"What did she do…"

"It's more what she didn't do Mya… I'll let you know what I can find though,"

"Okay big brother can you let Cameron, Ariel and Aqua that I called for me and do you think I can talk to the twins I really miss them,"

"Of course, button but, Elias and Evie are with Ariel right now but, when I see her I'll let her know. I'll see you soon huh?"

"Okay I love you,"

"I love you too kiddo! I'll keep in touch,"

"Okay bye,"

"Bye Mya,

Jayden gave a defeated sigh in his chair where his lovely wife Mal sat on his lap despite how she's 6 ½ months pregnant now "How long will you stay there for?"

"At least two weeks if possible but, I should call Blaise since his family is connected to the Italian ministry and Draco being connected in the France ministry,"

Mal kissed her husband on the lips "We'll miss you," she smiled.

"And I will miss you and I won't be long love. I won't miss our baby girl's arrival you can guarantee that,"

"Good," Mal kissed her husband on the lips "By the way it's your turn to read our sons and little girl their bedtime story,"

Jayden grinned "Of course my queen wouldn't miss it for the world," he says as he made a quick text to Cameron, Ariel and Aqua that their sister Hermione arrived to Forks, Washington safe and sound.

He heard a ding, ding, ding rom his siblings "Good I'm glad she's safe" "I'm glad," "I'll call her after my shift, drop off Elias and Evie to your place Jay oh shoot I got to go Jay love you"

Jayden smiled as he went to read his kids a bedtime story; his three sons Taichi 'Tai', Seth Milo, Yamato 'Matt', and their youngest daughter Hakari 'Kari' into their pajamas as they greeted their father.

"Daddy!" Kari happily says which left Jayden to smile carrying his little princess into his arms who's defiantly a daddy's girl while their sons are mama's boy.

"Hey princess ready for that bed time story,"

"Yeah!" the kids exclaimed happily.

Jayden nodded as Mal sat down on the bed with their children settling into their beds "So which story do you want me to read to you guys huh?"

"Auntie Min'nie's book!" Matt exclaimed.

Jayden laughed "Alright, alright," he says grabbing the book that his sister wrote from all her adventures seeing the book mark to where to they stop too "Now where did we stop from—ah here we are—Sir Ronald were with his two best friends Lady Hermione and Sir Harry as they were talking about the mask murder of Sir Sirius who they learned that he 'betrayed' Sir Harry's parents. Of course, what no one knows was that he was innocent and there was someone else who betrayed them, someone they least expected mind you," he started to read the chapter as his children stared at him in awe.

[Forks, Washington-Swan's residence] …

Hermione glanced around her bedroom nodding to herself in satisfaction knowing it was now felt like home with her love ones around the room and decided to look for her uncle Charlie. She glanced around at the cozy room her uncle made for her then made her way down the stairs to her uncle.

"Hey," Hermione smiled, sitting next to him in his comfy black green sofa which looked new from what she can tell "What're you watching?"

"Ah just some football?"

Hermione blinked her eyes "Are you sure? That looks a lot like rugby uncle Charlie," she furrowed her brows, looking at the men on the brand-new television 24" inch screen connected to the wall.

"Yes, I supposed it does but, it's American football little lion?"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive come sit," Charlie patted a spot next to him.

"Is that a new television uncle Charlie?"

"Yes, I bought it recently what do you think?"

"I love it uncle Charlie it's much bigger than your last one,"

"Yeah I figured I needed some furniture too. Bells didn't bother to noticed about it,"

"How come?"

"She's mainly on her attention on her boyfriend," Charlie snorted "Anyway that's American football," he insisted pointing at the t.v. "See that guy there he's the quarterback. He basically runs the whole operation,"

"Uncle Charlie it's rugby in armor," Hermione frowned, gesturing to the screen where the blonde man was running down the grass "Are they that scared of a little bruising that you can't even play without that on their shoulders?"

"No that's for— "

"I know what's it for," Hermione huffed "It's just so idiotic that rugby players don't break a nail and if a girl played like that she'd had a fit,"

"And how would you know that?" her uncle Charlie looked at his niece.

"It's like Quidditch uncle Charlie except we play in brooms and honestly why called it Football when it's obviously rugby," Hermione huffed.

Charlie lips twitched "Sweetie," putting his hands on her shoulder "I know it looks similar in England but, here in America we call it football. It's mainly an American football really and the way I see it that guy over there is winning his way to the other side to make a goal," he explained.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do Americans call it football?"

"I don't know sweetie all I know is that they call it football,"

"Hmm I think that's ridiculous,"

"Whatever you say little lion whatever you say," Charlie said, looking over at his niece "You just don't get it, this is a highly skilled sport kiddo," he replied.

"Your right, I don't get it. Rugby seems much more fun," Hermione teased her uncle "Is this what Renee's husband does?"

"No, he plays baseball?"

"Is he famous?"

"Somewhat famous but, he's getting there…"

"What's that?"

"It doesn't even matter," he laughed, amused by his niece's constant questioning "What do you want for dinner unless you want to go out to grab something?"

"Err… what do you got in?"

"I don't know why don't you check the cupboards," he said, grinning cheekily "And leave me to my wimpy game,"

"Okay," Hermione says rolling her eyes, thinking that she'd done it a lot in the past few hours, "I'll see if I can whip something up?"

She walked over the kitchen and peered in each cupboard, tutting at the packet food and proceed muck that filled them "Uncle Charlie do you have anything fresh in here?"

"Nope," he called back from the living room "I don't think so,"

"Not even a potato?"

"I doubt it," he laughed loudly, standing up and joining here "You'll have hard luck making something fresh from this lot, usually Bells and I go out. Why don't we go to out to dinner instead?" he offered.

Hermione sighed "You're going to have to take me to the shop uncle Charlie so we can go grocery shopping," she says, closing the cupboard and looking over to her uncle "Unless of course you want to eat spam sandwiches,"

"No, we'll go,"

"Okay then," she smiled "Where's the nearest supermarket,"

"It's in LaPush," he lied, thinking about the annoying, nosey people of Forks "Come on,"

Hermione was putting on her coat, her bag across her shoulder with her wallet full of cash (muggle/wizard) money inside when the phone rang. She wasn't sure if she should answer it but, her uncle Charlie wasn't ready because he was changing so she answered.

"Hello?

"Bella?" a gravely man's voice asked.

"No, sorry she's not home. Do you want to leave a message?"

"Ermm… no I wasn't looking for her actually," the voice told her.

"Then why did you ask for her?" Hermione asked confuse.

"I thought it was Bella,"

"Well it's not. Was there something you needed other than not to ask for Isabella?"

"Isabella, wait don't you mean Bella? Err, no. Yes!"

Hermione huffed "Could you please make up your mind," she sighed, getting annoyed "You are bloody confusing me and I need to get back to my uncle Charlie?"

"Wait, wait, wait hold on a minute uncle Charlie. I mean Charlie. Who is this?"

"Why?"

"I want to know who I'm talking too?"

"Sorry I'm not supposed to talk to strangers and reveal my name Mr. unknown name?

The voice chuckled "Mr. Unknown name huh?

"Well who else am I supposed to say? Since you didn't reveal or told me your name,"

"Touché but, your right. Is Charlie there?"

"Of course, It's his house?"

"Right yes of course it is. Can I speak to him please?"

"Sure, hold on a second," Hermione said, running to Charlie's room and knocking on the door "Uncle Charlie there's someone on the phone for you,"

"Who?" he called.

"I have no idea he wouldn't say so I just called him Mr. Unknown name,"

"Alright," Charlie says before popping his head around the door and grabbed the phone, then shutting it again before he opened it "Thank you little lion,"

Hermione shook her head and went downstairs. She had been waiting for Charlie for about ten minutes before he came downstairs in a black shirt and jeans that looked suspiciously like the ones he was wearing before.

"We've been invited to the bonfire kiddo," Charlie told her, smiling from the stairs and grabbed his coat "That was your god father Billy apparently, you made an impression on him he's the one that helped me with your room with Sue's help of course," he announced.

Hermione blinked her eyes owlish "Uncle Billy well that would explain the gruff voice," she mumbled turning to her uncle "I remember uncle Billy, how is he?"

"He's good, made him laugh from that whole conversation," Charlie chuckled "Mind explaining why you would call him Mr. Unknown name?" he asked.

Hermione blushed "If I knew it was uncle Billy we wouldn't having this conversation uncle Charlie," she says.

"True and it's a good thing you got the good genes from my side of the family unlike Bells you have a photogenic memory,"

"I don't know if I find that funny or offended by that," Hermione mumbled under her breath.

"Well let's get going huh?" Charlie shrugged, walking over to the door grabbing an umbrella with a confuse Hermione following "You'll meet them there. They're excited to see you!"

"That's great, I haven't seen uncle Billy nearly 4 years,"

"I know he's been excited to see you too,"

"Oh okay, what about Isabella?" Hermione asked "How will she cook anything?"

"Hmm… she probably ate at the Cullens place," Charlie replied, frowning at the mention of the family "Although Dr. Cullen is nice fellow though he's the only one besides Esme that I get along with in that family,"

"Cullen?" Hermione furrowed her eyebrows all confuse "Who's that?"

"That would Bella's new boyfriend Edward. Edward Cullen. He's the youngest of the kids in the Cullen's family who keep to themselves. The one that I told you about"

"Oh, I didn't know she had a boyfriend,"

Whooooooo this is my first fanfiction between Jared and Hermione. I always wondered if I wrote a few stories about Jared and Hermione since there's not a lot of Jared and Hermione together or with the other wolves; Jacob, Sam or Paul is popular so hopefully you guys will enjoy ^_^
