This is my first fan fic so please RNR. I'd like to know any mistakes that I've made or anything that you think is worth changing in the plot. You may recognize a few of our favourite Twilight or Harry Potter characters along the story. I love happy endings so if you hate happy endings don't read! Enjoy!

Note: Ben hangs out with his own friends but Maddison's closest friends (not best friends but close friends) are our favourite trio.

Another Note: It's HBP through my characters POV but it might change from time to time.

Final Note: Ok I might have to right a prequel to this about the Order of the Phoenix. Let's just pretend for now until I write a story for Order of the Phoenix that Maddison and Benjamin had joined Harry and the gang in the Ministry of Magic. They used their "abilities" to help out but they really didn't know how to control them properly.

Summary: Maddison and Benjamin Swan-Cullen are very extraordinary twins. They're half vampire's half witch/wizards who are about to turn seventeen.

Not only that but Ben can manipulate the elements as long as he is close enough to one to absorb it, and Maddison can generate a force field that shields her from any spells or elements that Ben throws at her. She can even twist her force to do many things so she is matched up evenly with Ben. She can also "search" for people's minds and send them a message or look into them. But it takes a great deal of concentration. Together they could do great things or create such havoc, but don't worry their good!

WARNING MIGHT CONATIN SPOILERS. I'll keep to the book as much as possible

P.S Bella is a witch. Yup.

Party

I hated parties. I really did.

Aunt Alice was rushing gracefully around the house, preparing the bash by herself, just the way she liked to. My brother and I were doing exactly what she told us to. I.e; nothing. Uncle Emmet was outside with Uncle Jasper hunting or basking in the sunlight that we rarely get here in Forks, Washington.

Aunt Rosalie was upstairs combing her lovely, long, honey coloured hair. Our Mom, Bella, was shopping for our present in Diagon Alley. Our Dad, Edward, was wrapping something that he had brang back from Egypt for us. I was sure that Granma Esme and Grandpa Carlisle were inside the house somewhere.

I caught sight of a huge midnight blue banner covered with yellow stars that read "Happy 17th Birthday Ben and Maddison!" and sighed. My twin brother and I were turning seventeen at exactly twelve pm tonight, so Aunt Alice practically begged us if she could throw us a party, using her special line "Please? None of us ever get birthdays anymore." In the end we finally gave in with regret. It's not like your seventeen forever you know, I had to laugh when I thought of my Dad, seventeen forever.

"I've got to get Bella to bewitch this", I heard Aunt Alice mutter as she hung up the banner, her short black hair swinging as she reached up. Talk about going over the top, don't you think?

I heard Ben quietly groan and Uncle Emmet laugh from the door. His eyes were a golden topaz colour which meant they had just finished hunting. He dashed over in that way that vampires did, Uncle Jasper preferred not to frighten us.

Emmet put his muscular arms around our shoulders and said "Wow. Seventeen. Tomorrow you'll be all grown up. Casting spells and what knot. Just try not to kill anyone please. Hey you never know you two might even be stronger than me!" He chuckled at the last bit as though that would never happen.

"Bella was," Aunt Rosalie reminded him as she walked slowly down the stairs looking unnaturally beautiful, even for a vampire.

"Was mom stronger than you?" Ben exclaimed then started laughing hysterically.

"Don't Emmet" Alice said from the ladder. She must've seen Emmet whacking Ben over the head or something.

If Emmet's skin wasn't permanently white I think he would have turned a few shades redder. "Yeah, she was. Right after you two were born and she became a vampire, she and Emmet had an arm wrestling competition. She won by miles." Jasper explained, smirking.

"Don't worry, baby. She was a new born then." Rosalie comforted Emmet though she couldn't help grinning abit too.

Uncle Emmet stalked off, muttering something about him being the strongest in the family.

I went upstairs, to my room. All walls were painted violet except one, which was painted black. Posters adorned my walls of my favourite bands. I sat cross-legged on my bed and stared at the back wall, where a mirror hung. I was quite pretty, I guess. My long ebony locks was layered and my bangs fell into my eyes. I had purple and sapphire blue highlights, too. My eyes were a green-blue colour, dark eyeliner made them stick out more. I had always been quite thin, like my mother, and silently wished that I had my Aunt Rosalie's curves. My features were symmetrical, like my fathers. I wore a Greenday band t-shirt and black skinny jeans. My brother constantly mocked me about being "emo." It was irritating.

A few minutes later I went downstairs, my room becoming too tedious.

"Benjamin, wanna come outside?" I asked.

"Yeah sure." He answered, shrugging.

We went outside into the rays of the sun that were shining on our big backyard. Benjamin, our mom, our dad and I lived here in the forest. Alice, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle only lived a five minute walk from here. Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmet lived in Seattle somewhere but they always came home to visit us. Our parents' loved living in the forest because they're always areas to hunt close to home. Also because hardly any people come wondering out our way.

We moved here when Ben and I were eight. Before Hogwarts Ben and I went to a Muggle school. Mom was a witch when she met dad so she had no problem with him being a vampire and he had no problem with her being a witch. Well, except for the fact that he wanted her blood so much that he left her even though he loved her more, but it was for her own safety. So he says.

Those times were hard for her but she had Uncle Jacob. In the end dad came back they got married and had us. Dad had to change her into a vampire because we were killing her.

That's a typical love story for you.

Mom still remembers her old life which is weird because Grandpa Carlisle says that she should only have faint memories. She remembers everything. Spells, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardries, Potions, Apparating, how to fly a broomstick, even Lord Voldemort. She remembers that she was pure blood not that she cared anyway. Her whole family was Slytherins but she was the only Gryffindor. She met him when she was in America with her family when she was seventeen. She ran off and rented herself a house by herself, here in Forks. When the family saw that she had gone they searched for a few days then set off for London. Mom said they probably didn't continue their search because they probably thought that she was too kind and loving to everyone including Muggles.

She went to a Muggle school and found out that she wasn't that bad at Muggle topics either.

She got attacked by vampire's alot too. It was like she was a walking, talking target. Everyone else told me that mom was very clumsy too. Which is pretty hard to imagine, which her gracefullness.

"Maddison!" Ben yelled, snapping me out of my reverie. He was standing opposite me in the field, a grin on his face. His hands were on his sides, palms up. This was our fighting position.

I immediately got into my position too. We had practised many times over the holidays ever since the incident at the Ministry of Magic. We could now control our powers properly. And we were damn good at it if I must say so myself.

He was still grinning; maybe it was because the last time we "practised" he won. He won't win this time though.

"Do you wanna go first sis? Or shall I?" he asked mockingly.

Suddenly I pushed my force field under my feet, making me launch into the air. I had been practicing this before so it worked perfectly. I started grinning too, seeing the surprised look on Ben's face.

The grin never left his face though. He made the ground rise from beneath his feet and launched a fireball at me. I created a barrier around me that engulfed the ball of fire. I used my force field like a whip and whipped at his feet. He saw it coming and used a burst of water to levitate him. Then he shot multiple fireballs at me like a canon. I continued to engulf them then when I thought I had enough I shot them back at him. He dodged the first two then he shaped a circle around himself from wind.

We hadn't noticed that the first two fireballs had caught flame to a tree till after about two minutes, that meant that the tree was already on fire.

All of a sudden I heard my mom yell "Aguamenti!" then a gush of water came from the tip of her wand, putting the fire out.

We glimpsed at mom. Her face was pretty even though she was furious. Ben and I both look like our mother and father. She had long, jet black hair and a small body. That's why whenever we go somewhere we say that Aunt Alice and our mom are sisters.

When she was a witch she had grey-blue eyes. Now they were as black as her hair. They looked furious too.

"What do you two think you're doing?" she asked angrily.

"We were play fighting mom," Ben said in a small voice, the grin had disappeared from his face. mom hadn't looked this mad since Emmet took Ben out to a... how should I put it? Gentlemen's club?

"You could've burnt the whole forest down!" she screeched. Uncle Jasper stood in the backround, I was sure he was having difficulties calming mom down.

"They were bored honey." Dad said from behind mom. Ah dad, always the saviour.

"It's alright that they've been practising I'm fine with that. It's just the fact that they weren't paying attention that gets me mad!" she yelled.

"We're really sorry mom" I said quietly. Ben and I hung our heads in shame. Her expression softened immediately.

"I'm sorry for getting mad. Pay more attention next time. You'd better go get changed for the party. Jacob and that we'll be here soon."

So we went upstairs. It was declared that I was the winner. I went into my enormous wardrobe; packed with clothes that I didn't need and groaned when I saw the dress my Aunt wanted me to wear. A pink dress with frills. A pink dress with frills!

Just then Aunt Alice appeared in the doorway, and saw me grimacing. "Too much?"

I gazed at the frills and mumbled "Just abit."

She picked out another dress among the many. I loved it. It was a one shoulder, knee high, black dress with a sparkly hem line. "Oh my gosh! It's amazing. I didn't even know I owned it!" I said marvellously. I paired it with a pair of black heels.

"You're welcome. The party's going to start in about forty five minutes", she told me as she left.

I quickly showered, not wetting my hair, and then straightened my hair. It was cut quite emo, I guess. I re-did my makeup, reapplying my eyeliner, mascara and a smoky eyeshadow.

I stared in the mirror, breathing out. My chest fell heavily. I gripped the basin tightly, until my knuckles turned white.

"Get a grip, Maddison." I told myself. It was my birthday. I should be happy. But, I wasn't. Nothing was natural about this. Ben and I weren't natural. We went against the laws of everything. Even the Volturi knew it. That's why they were so interest in us. We shouldn't be celebrating our birthday- we should be mourning it. Tonight there was a big possibility that we turned into a full-fledged vampire, just as Carlisle predicted. I wasn't ready for that. I wanted to be normal. To live a normal life. I didn't have any close friends, besides the ones from Hogwarts who I only see during school. I was a freak, and I knew it.

Silent tears threatened to spill over, but I supressed them. Sighing, I made my way downstairs.

I could hardly recognize the living room as I came down the stairs.

Aunt Alice had gotten mom to bewitch the banner. It now flashed mine and Ben's favourite colours; red, black, dark blue and dark purple. The stars twinkled brightly like real stars too.

That wasn't the only thing that Aunt had gotten mom to bewitch either. A number of candles were floating in mid air. The lights were flashing different colours which made the room look pretty now that it was dark. Stars were floating around the ceiling, as they did in the Grand Hall in Hogwarts. Metro Station's "Seventeen" was playing. How ironic.

"You won't be seventeen forever

And we can get away with this tonight..."

Jacob was downstairs, along with Embry, Seth, Quil, Claire and the rest of the La Push gang and their wives. Everyone, except Leah. Even after all these years she couldn't just let it go. They seemed the same; not a wrinkle in sight and abnormally tall.

Kim was there. I liked Kim. She was nice.

"Hey, Kim." I greeted, hugging her tightly.

"Happy birthday, Maddy." She sighed. Kim was about twenty seven, the same age as her husband, Jared. Okay, so I know that when I was born, Kim would have been only seventeen, but Ben and I aged faster. We stopped aging when we were physically ten years of age (so, two years) and then we aged normally. Now our aging was going to stop completely. I didn't know whether to feel relieved or horrified. I made up my mind, deciding upon horrified.

Everyone came over to hug me and tell me that I looked beautiful. I saw that a table had been put up against the back wall with a stack of presents on one side and a large cake in the shape of a witch's hat on the other. There were two candles on it. A one and a seven.

After "Seventeen" and a few other songs, my dad played the piano for us all. Ben and I had a slice of cake. It was delicious, but I couldn't get my mind off of something.

What if Grandpa Carlisle was right when he told us the day before, that we weren't going to eat human food ever again? I think the teachers might notice something if we didn't turn up for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What if we needed blood? We could sneak out at night to the Forbidden Forest to hunt. It would be alot helpful though. All those other skills. More time to study at night if you're not sleeping. My mind would work alot faster. Listen in on other people's conversation. No. Only on life threatening conversations.

"Hey, you ok? I can feel strong emotions coming from you", Uncle Jasper asked me seriously. Damn.

"No I'm fine really I'm just worried about school." I lied. He seemed to understand and gave me a one arm squeeze. It wasn't just school. It was my life.

"Cheer up it's your birthday" He said brightly.

Right, cheer. I don't do cheer.

"Time to open the presents!" Aunt Alice exclaimed excitedly. We all went to the table that held the presents. She passed Ben a box wrapped in silver, and I a box wrapped in gold. "This is from Carlisle, Esme, Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper and I."

We slowly unwrapped our presents and saw that they both had a set of keys, one that looked like car key, and two that looked like house keys. We were both very surprised. Uncle Emmet took a picture. Bleh. I hate photos.

Everyone laughed. "Everything you need. A car. And two houses." Carlisle clarified.

"Why do we need two houses?" Ben enquired, "Safety reasons." Uncle Emmet answered. I shuddered as I thought about it, a knot forming in my stomach. There were two boxes each left. All were wrapped in shiny black paper dotted with stars. "These are from your parents" Aunt Alice informed us, passing us two boxes each. Ben's box was a few inches longer than mine.

I carefully opened mine. It was a box with a blue ribbon around it. I took the lid of the box and gasped a little. Inside was a lovely, magnificent necklace. The chain was gold and it held something beautiful. It appeared to be a glass bottle about the length of my pinky with a pointed end. It had small patterns engraved into it with silver. But the amazing thing was what was inside it. It was like something that I would see Professor Snape brewing down in the dungeons, where we had Potions. It glowed luminous colours like a rainbow but more beautifully. Deep reds, aqua blues, and forest greens seemed the most prettiest. Everyone leaned in to get a closer look. Apparently, dad hadn't even shown them what he had gotten.

"When your mother and I went to Egypt we caught up with an old friend. His name is Benjamin too. We went on a little trip together. We went to an ancient underground fountain in Egypt. One little drop and it's supposedly supposed to cure any illness or undo almost any curse, two drops and it brings the dead back to life. What with Lord Voldemort coming back, I thought it would come in handy for you Maddison". I saw him catch Aunt Alice's eye and give her a meaningful look.

"Thanks dad, thanks mom." I said in a trancelike way, it was just so beautiful.

Ben opened his present too. He had a box just like mine though the ribbon was blood red. Inside was a dagger. But not just any dagger. I had seen this dagger before. It was maybe a long as Uncle Emmet's hand (And Uncle Emmet had a long hand). The dagger looked as though it had been made by power, not magic but power. It had obviously seen many battles, but none had actually left any mark whatsoever. The hilt of the blade had four particular gems that really stood out against the gold plated hilt. These were; the ruby, emerald, diamond, and sapphire. Ben turned it over in his palm, and I caught sight of the back. On the back were strange markings which I couldn't quite make out the shape of. Suddenly comprehension hit me. "It's the dagger of Etrihtusa" I breathed.

"Yes Maddy it is" mom said smiling to me.

"What's that?" Uncle Emmet asked puzzled.

"Etrihtusa was an ancient Egyptian Queen. It's believed that Etrihtusa was a witch, and that she forged a dagger out of the power of her ancestors to kill her evil husband whom couldn't be killed. She created a dagger so powerful that it could kill anyone, mortal, immortal or god. It's also thought to behold the courage and wisdom that Etrihtusa had" I replied admirably. "How'd you get it? Etrihtusa died thousands of years ago and sealed the dagger within the earth." I asked hastily.

"How is it you know all of this and I don't?" Ben asked confusedly,

"Do you ever open up our any of magical history books?" I retorted.

"We got it on one of our adventures in Egypt. This was very hard to get." mom answered raising her voice before an argument broke out.

Uncle Jacob's and the packs present to me was a silver charm bracelet with four stunning, highly detailed, miniature wolves. They must've heard me admiring the beautiful charms that mom had on her bracelet from Uncle Jacob for her graduation.

For Ben one of those lighters that flick open and a flask of water. Both had carvings in the silver.

"It's awesome thanks" Ben said thankfully.

There were only two more presents left. We both opened them and saw that they held dazzling gold watches with stars for hands.

"It's traditional to give a witch or wizard a watch for their seventeenth. I've still got mine." mom enlightened us, showing us her gold watch. "They're amazing all of the presents" I said loudly as Ben and I hugged everyone.

We were now all sitting outside watching the display of fireworks and other spectacular things mom was cooking up. Uncle Emmet showed me all of the photos he had taken. I had my watch on and my necklace fastened around my neck. My keys were upstairs on my bedside table along with a map to where the houses were. It turned out that my new car was a Mercedes S 500 Avon Guard in Silver. Ben got a Range Rover Super Charged in black. It was eleven forty two so that meant I'd be seventeen in exactly eighteen minutes.

Seventeen. Sixteen. Fifthteen. Fourteen. Thirteen. I saw Ben glance at his watch anxiously. Twelve. mom and Dad came and sat in between Ben and I. Eleven. They told us they love us no matter what we become. Ten. They hug us tightly with their ice arms. Nine. We tell them we'll try to control ourselves. Eight. They laugh and say they'll always be here. Seven. I can feel my body changing. Six. Five. Everyone comes over to say they love us. Four. Uncle Emmet cracks a joke. Three. We all laugh. Two. mom puts her wand into the air and writes Happy 17th Birthday in bright fireworks. One. "Happy Birthday Maddison" I murmur before Ben and I fall, unconscious. Zero.
