Chapter One

It had been five years Voldermort won, five years since she went on the run. During time on the run, she changed her looks so much not even her parents would recongize her (not that could anyways). Her once brown frizzy hair was a short and black as midnight, she even went as far as to change her name. Hermione Granger died on the battlefield that fateful day in June, she had just watched as Harry was taken down by Voldemort. As she sat there with Harry's head in her lap crying, the once love of her life told her to run and continue running until she felt safe enough to stop.

During her time on the run, she met the most amazing oven of Vampires she had ever thought to meet. She had just arrived in L.A and was working at a hospital near where she was staying at the time, when she met Dr. Cullen and his wife Esme. It had been a holiday party for the staff and their familes, she had noticed that the Cullen's weren't eating or even drinking anything while there. It wasn't until she was working with him up close that she realized what he was, at first she thought she was just over stressed from being in hiding to long. Then she remembered what she had learned in school about vampires, it had said that vampires had harden skin and a cold touch.

After talking to them and meeting their 'family', she came to realize that everything she had learned in school was different then what she was hearing from them. Once she felt confortable around them, she told them her secert; she told them that she was a muggle-born witch from England and was on the run from a group of people set out to kill her. She told them of her life in England and at Hogwarts, told them of the war and how Voldemort had won. What took her by surprise was that Carlisle had once meet him, back when he still went by Tom Riddle; Carlisle had said that even back then there was something about him that felt off.

For once since she had been in hiding Hermione felt like she could finally stay in one place but that feeling didn't last long when the wards she had set up started ringing as if someone tripped them. Without thinking she apperated straight to the Cullen home, as she appeared out front the small one with black hair was waiting for her outside with hot cup of tea. "I saw you coming and figured you would need this, Esme and Rose are upstairs getting you room ready. Actually it's our brother's room but since he's not here we figured you could use it." she said as she handed her the tea.

"How did you know I was going to show up? I thought that you only get visions of things that might happen?" Hermione asked. Alice just laughed, "I have been keeping an eye you so to speak and when I saw that you had unwanted guests, it showed me that you would be coming here in need of help. Now lets get you inside so you can get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long day filled with shopping." she said with a smile. Hermione just groaned, thinking to herself 'not another Lavender'.

Then it dawned on her, "Wait you have another brother besides Emmett? I remember Carlisle saying something about it but I never fully paid attention, why am I being set up in his room then?" Hermione asked. Alice just looked at her and said "Because he thought he fell in love with a Human girl named Bella, then we had a birthday party for her at our home. She got a paper cut and my mate Jasper almost attacked her, so Edward made us all leave. He told her that she would safer away from us and him, to move on with her life and to forget him. So that's why we are here in L.A, he left to 'find' himself and he hasn't returned since."

Hermione just nodded "I know what it is to feel like your in love, I thought I was in love with one of my best friends. But instead of running with me like I had hoped he stayed behind, just after arriving here I heard he was killed for being a tratior to his kind. So I understand what he is going through, maybe he will find someone better; someone who actually loves him for him and wont be trying to get him to change her. My ex was like that, he wanted me to stay home and pop put at least eight children while he galavanted off to play hero, what I failed to tell that there are no children in my future at all. In our fifth year a very well placed curse took that away from me." she said sadly as she followed Alice into the house and towards her temparay room.

Hermione had been staying with the Cullen's for a coulpe of months when Alice got one of her vision's about Bella. It was one where she was standing on the edge of a cliff looking out into the Ocean, Hermione told her that Bella was just trying to do something get attention. And to give it a couple days before she called Edward, from what she understood he had enough on his plate with going to the Volturi.

So Alice did as Hermione, when she saw that Bella was well and with her father she decided that she wouldn't call Edward after all. But then everything changed, Edward was coming home to the Cullen's and that meant Hermione would have to give up her room. Finally the day came for Edward to come home and Hermione was in the middle of packing when a Bronze hair and gold eyes, "So your the reason why I was subplanted to the garage again, you don't look like a newborn but yet I can't seem to get a read on you." he said with a silky voice.

She smiled and pulled her wand "Well the reason you can't read my mind is because I blocked to keep unwanted people out. If you give me a few minutes I will gladly take my things to the garage, besides I don't plan to stay much longer. I have heard that there is a wizarding community in Seattle that I can go back to school in. I have put your family at risk by staying with them, if the ones I am running from were to find out that I was staying with Vampires your family would be in much worse danger than I am. I adore your family and do not wish for them to come to harm for hiding a wanted witch in thier home, these wizards are not as kind as me. They will burn you and not care that you feed from animals or humans." she said with saddness in her voice.

"How long much longer are you staying, since I am the only one who has yet to get to know you. If you like I can drive you up to Seattle, I was planing on talking to my father about returning to Forks. I think its time for me to return and face Bella at least this time I will know what to except, I just might be able to advoid her as well. It's a shame that you wish to go to a magic school, I would think you might be able to hide better among the non-magical population. Don't you think that would be the first place they would look is among your kind at a magical school?" he said.

Before she could say anything to what he was suggesting the annoying pixie as Alice was called, came running in "So what is this I see about you going to a normal school with Edward and I? I say it's makeover time, I have been dying to do something with that friz you call hair and there are plenty of stores to go and get you a new wardrobe. By the way Edward, Carlisle agree's with you about returning to Forks it seems he was offered his job back; so it looks like we will be returning for the rest of the year. Don't worry Hermione, we will help you catch up in no time." she said with a bounce in her step.
