Chapter one:
Hermione Granger marched through the halls of the Ministry of Magic with a purpose. that and if she stopped to dally reporters would be on her ass in minutes. Perks of being a war hero. Quickening her pace so to avoid a crowd of gossiping girls, She practically ran into the Aurors Department and her best friend Harry Potters office. Her caramel curls bouncing as she ran.
"Hermione? this is a surprise" exclaimed Harry as he very well nearly bumped into his friend as she came running in.
"Yeah, you know me nothing like an impromptu actually that isn't the reason behind my visit. I came to tell you that... im leaving"
"WHAT? where are you going?"
"Harry..."
"why are you going?"
"Harry..."
"what about me or Ron or Ginny?"
"Harry..."
"Hell what even about Zabini and Malfoy, their your friends?"
"HARRY JAMES POTTER. Listen to me."
"What? yeah sorry im listening you know how I can get carried away."
"Anyway, let me explain. I've just had enough of the constant press and the constant badgering for autographs. So im going to go stay with my uncle Charlie in America. He is the only member that's not immediate family that knows about me and my magic. He also knows that basics of the War so will realise about how I will need space and time to think sometimes."
"Are you sure? Have you spoke to the others?"
"Yeah Blaise and Draco are fine with it as long as they both get my address and can visit anytime plus I write to them at least once a week."
"And Ron?..."
"Ah, yeah Ron, Well things are still a bit awkward with the whole kiss in the chamber of secrets and all but lets just say that he is pissed."
"I'll talk to him"
Hermione's ears pricked up in excitement."Does that mean your OK with it?"
"Yeah I suppose as long as you write and I can visit too?" Harry sighed.
"of course you can Harry.I would be upset if you didn't."
"When are you leaving?"
"Just as soon as my uncle gives me the go ahead"
The conversation was interrupted but Hermione's phone ringing.
hello?
hey Hermione? Bella left the house so you can do whatever it is you do to make you appear.
apperation? yeah ill be there in about 20 minutes just got to get sorted.
see you then sweetie.
the line went dead.
"I guess this is goodbye for know Harry. I'll miss you."
"Miss you too Mione."
With a hug and a kiss on the cheek, Hermione left via the floo network.
When Hermione got to her flat, her clothes, books, other essentials started to pack themselves with a quick flick of her wand and a non- verbal spell. She could of packed everything into her trusted beaded bag but to keep up appearances for Bella because she didn't have a clue about magic Hermione had to carry three suitcases. Thank god for feather light spells.
Hermione got changed into a light pair of skinny jeans and a long sleeved purple shirt, she might be a bit hot but at least the majority of her scars were covered. A quick non sweat spell and a dash of makeup and she was ready.
She put the suitcases into the beaded bag so it was easier for traveling, surveyed the room and disappereated.
Hermione reappeared in her Uncles living room very nearly on top of him, luckily she had good balance skills thanks to the war so managed to stay vertical.
"Hey uncle Charlie, its good to see you"
"good to see you too Mia, you have grown since last time though ha ha."
Hermione's lips curled in a half hearted smile.
"Anyway follow me to your room. Wheres your stuff?"
Hermione lifted up the beaded bag slightly to indicate where her stuff was.
"how did it fit... oh magic never mind."
"yeah don't know how you can survive without it "
In her new room she emptied the suitcases non magically but placed protection spells around the houses from her window making sure that there were no muggles around though.
"Hermione, Bella will be back soon come down to surprise her she doesn't know that your here"
"Coming" she replied.
She had been sitting in the living room filling her uncle on whats been happening in her life, skipping over the more horrible bits and making other bits sound less important than they were. When the door opened and in came Bella followed by a boy with fiery brown hair and golden eyes. His skin was very pale, more so than Draco and that is saying something. She felt someone poking at her occlumancey shields so she put them up stronger and the boy looked at her with a confused and shocked expression.
"Hermione?"
"Yeah its me Bella"
"OMG MIONEEEEE" she exclaimed running any practically rugby tackling her to the floor.
"Do you think that you could maybe get off me any perhaps introduce me to your friend?"
"Oh yeah how rude, Mione meet Edward, my boyfriend. Edward this is Hermione my cousin from England"
He stepped forward with his hand extended. When Hermione shook his hand it took some of her restraint not to shudder. He was ice cold. When she let go and smiled her mind started to work. Pale white, ice cold, golden eyes, attacking her shields. hmm... that's it Vampire. No ordinary vampire though the golden eyes indicated that he was an animal blood drinker. And attacking her occlumancy shields also indicated that he had a special power, she guessed mind reading. They didn't call her the brightest witch of the century for nothing.
"So Bella what are you doing tonight" asked Charlie
"I was going to go to Edwards house but if Hermione's here then I could change plans"
"Oh i wouldn't want to impose, I'll be fine by myself."
"nonsense i don't mind"
It was Edwards turn to speak. "if you would like to come to my house for dinner as well I wouldn't mind and my mother Esme wouldn't have a problem either."
"Oh i wouldn't want to be a fuss"
"honestly I insist"
Although Hermione was apposed to the idea of going to dinner with a vampire she agreed. mostly out of curiosity to find out whether or not the rest of his family were vampires or not.
"Well we will just be leaving now so im going to get changed into dinner clothes, come on mione I'll show you what to wear."
The two girls headed up the stairs leaving Edward with a curious as to how this British girl was able to block him from her mind. It wasn't like it was with Bella. With her it was blank, whereas with Hermione it was as if there was a brick wall stopping him from entering. very peculiar.
Hermione changed into a floral skirt and tights and a short sleeved top with a cardi so her arms and legs were still covered however there was nothing she could do about a few faint ones on her face and some peaking out from the top of her tee shirt. Also with vampire site she was sure that Edward would be able to see the ones on her legs through her pale tights. With a quick spell to tame her curls a bit more. thankfully her hair was no longer the bushy mess it had been in previous years it was not in sleek ringlets that most people were jealous of. however Hermione didn't really care she wasn't one of those vain girls. A hint of makeup and she went to meet Bella down stairs.
"Bye Charlie"
"Bye Dad"
"Cya girls"
The trio left the house and headed to an expensive silver Volvo. Hermione got in the back and her occlumancy shields were attacked again. She had had enough
Edward I don't know you so GET OUT OF MY HEAD she shouted mentally.
Edward flinched, she hadn't meant to hurt him just give him a warning. She gave him a sympathetic smile which he returned with a slight curl of his lips.
She wasn't really paying attention to what Bella was saying she had too many questions for Edward. probably the most important would be whether or not the rest of his family were vampires or not too. She would rather know if they were or not before she turned up.
can you hear me?
he inclined his head slightly.
Are the rest of your family vampires too?
that had him he was shocked and swerved the car and nearly crashed into a tree and if it wasn't for his vampire reflexes she was sure that he would have.
"Edward whats wrong? Are you okay?" Bella asked.
"Yeah fine. I'm not sure what happened there"
This brought Hermione to her next question did Bella know?
does Bella know?
Edward again gave a slight nod of his head but followed up with a questionable look that clearly said ' how do you know we need to discuss this further at a later date'
They arrived at a big glass house and Hermione couldn't stop the awe reflecting in her eyes. They made her way up to the door and before she could even take a breath to prepare for entering the house a brown haired pixie looking girl came bounding out and engulfed Hermione into a hug.
"Hey Hermione, im Alice were going to be best friends"
" Hey" gasped Hermione still recovering from the hug.
She wasn't sure if she wanted to be friends with a vampire or not, but oh well only one way to find out.
