*Bella is Lilly in this
Goodbye
The freezing cold air blew past my ear as we stood at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. I could hear the sound of fighting that still lingered in my memory of the last time that I was here. I stared at Hagrid's garden, his lone sunflower, how its bright yellow petals contrasted nicely with the rest. The bright sun suddenly broke through the clouds, bestowing a ray of light on the unsightly scene that lay in front of my very eyes. My brother's coat lit up in the sudden array of light, and it provided hope for me. The sound of the battlefield still going on in the background, but I knew that it wasn't real, that it was all just a terrible memory, the sounds, the killings, but I still imagined them as if it was that horrific place. I found myself staring at the lone sunflower again, lighting up as if it was saying something good, something that would get me through this, but no. My brother removed his jacket, sensing that it was too hot to wear it and threw it in his bag, his actions not portraying the emotion that I knew he too felt. I looked into the deep grey eyes of a loved one.
"It isn't forever, Lil, it isn't forever," he cooed as I leant my head onto his chest, my tiny tears spilling out over my rosy cheeks.
"Y-yes, I kn-now," I sniffed, "but it is for an awfully long t-time, p-promise that w-we will keep in c-contact?" I almost begged pitifully.
"Of course, Lil," he promised as hugged me tighter as if to confirm it. I looked up into his eyes and kissed him, short but sweet.
"Thank you, Draco," I said and I stepped back, running to Hermione and hugged her, throwing her to the ground.
"I'll miss these moments, Lily," Hermione laughed, standing up and smiling. She dusted off her butt, and then hugged me properly again. I couldn't find in myself to smile, but I attempted to and I could only guess that my smile was a grimace.
I let go of Hermione, and then went to Ron. Ron was never good at expressing his emotions; we found that out when our dear Ronald started to crush on our Hermione. I hugged him, and after a second, he hugged me back. I let go and hugged Ginny, who Harry had just finished saying goodbye to. Ginny was my best friend, we got along so well. I don't know how I could live without any of my best friends!
"See you bestie," I said, my voice muffled against her ginger hair.
"Yeah, I promise to see you again," she said back, and I could tell that she attempted a smile as her jaw moved.
I stood back and stood next to Harry whose black hair was shining in the sun, and his eyes glistening from tears. I could feel my eyes tear up too, and I hastily wiped them away.
"Aw, shucks Lil, Slytherin's don't cry!" Draco teased jokingly. I smiled back at him and started laughing randomly.
I was sorted into Slytherin, whilst Harry was sorted into Gryffindor. Still, to this day, we don't know why I was sorted into Slytherin. I didn't really care what house I went to, just as long as I was sorted. At first people didn't think that I was Harry's twin as I got sorted into Slytherin, but over time they were convinced. And, going the opposite way of most Slytherin's, I went against Voldemort and killed him along with Harry. Now people know to not mess with us.
I gripped onto Harry's hand.
"Well, this is goodbye then," I said gravely, with, what I to imagine, a grave expression imprinted upon my face.
"Not forever," they all said in unison and Harry and I laughed.
"Yeah, not forever," Harry mumbled as if he knew too much.
I felt the sickening feel of a pull near the navel and the butterflies in my stomach from going to a new place. I let go of Harry's hand as I fell on the ground. I looked around me and saw old and new trees, a dirty, muddy floor, and leaves scattered everywhere. It was beautiful; looking like the Forbidden forest at Hogwarts.
In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks exists under a near-constant cover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential town more than any other place in the United States of America. (A/N: That was taken straight out of Twilight.)
That was where I lived now, where I would live for a few years until it is deemed safe enough to go back to the magical world. I couldn't use magic in front of Muggles, although I never could. McGonagall said that we had to be extra careful when using magic so that no Muggle would see. We had to attend a Muggle School, which would be horrible as I hadn't attended a Muggle school since I was eleven!
"Lilly, do you want help to get up?" Harry chuckled, extending his hand for me to grab.
"Yeah, thanks," I thanked as I got up and dusted off my butt, laughing at myself.
We walked for a while, going towards the house that the Muggle lived at that we will stay in. I tripped on logs, twigs and ditches, and once, nothing, and so Harry had to hold my hand to keep me upright.
We found the edge of the forest just in time to see the sunset, and it was beautiful. We stood watching it for about five minutes, but then Harry spoke.
"That is the house, Lilly," Harry said, pointing up at a beautiful little cottage.
I smiled, loving it immediately. It looked like it came straight out of a fairytale.
"Okay, so the people that live in this house are Bella and Edward Cullen, with their daughter Renesmee, but the house that we will be staying at is further in to the town. McGonagall said to drop into this house before we go any further. She also said that the people who live there know exactly who we are, and exactly what we are," Harry said with heavy emphasis on the what.
"Cool," I said, and then walked onwards to the cottage in the woods.
We walked to the door, and Harry knocked. The door opened and a beautiful young girl of an age about thirteen, peeped around the opening. She had chocolate brown hair with golden eyes, porcelain skin and teeth so sharp. I knew immediately what she was.
"MUM!" She yelled, laughing at herself. I tried to use legimency (A/N: Or what ever it is, I forget…) to get inside her mind, but it didn't work.
"Yes, Nessie," a females voice sung from not too far into the house.
"Mum, we have guests," Nessie, I assumed, told the other female.
I heard a few footsteps and then a brown haired female appeared behind Nessie. She looked too young to be a mother, or so I thought. Her eyes were the same colour gold as her daughter, her skin the same porcelain.
"Ah, hello Bella and Harry," she said and smiled. "I am Isabella Cullen, and this is Renesmee, my daughter. Minerva has told me a lot about you."
I laughed cruelly. How can she tell them to call me Bella?
"Call me Lily," I said extending my hand.
"Ah, yes, call me Bella," she said and gripped my hand, her skin ice cold which only proved my theory all the better. "And you must be Harry!" Bella smiled and extended her hand towards him which Harry took way to eagerly for a guy that was already taken. "My husband is at work at the moment, but come in!"
I smiled as I had a feeling that I was going to like Bella.
"You look way too young to be a mother, Bella," I said.
"Oh, yes, well I assume that you know what I am," she said and I nodded, "well, I had Renesmee when I was human, with a vampire." I nodded as I understood everything. I always listened during Defence Against the Dark Arts.
"And that vampire I assume to be your husband?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, actually."
"Mum! Dad's home!" Renesmee said and ran to the door to let in her father.
"Daddy!" She squealed and hugged him tight. I felt really sad. I had never gotten to do that, as far as I could remember. The only way that I knew who my parents were, were through photographs and people telling me about them.
Again, I fidgeted with my ring like I always did whenever I felt nervous. I suddenly started to feel slightly sick, and my hand flew to my stomach automatically.
"Are you okay, Lily?" Renesmee asked.
"Yeah, just a little light headed." But then I felt it again the thing that made me feel sick.
A small thump inside of my stomach.
Heyz… I wrote this coz I was bored… so yeah….
