A/N - Woop, I'm writing in bold, it makes me feel so important. I'm so sorry for the long wait, I'm really not as awesome as some of the writers on Fanfic who can update weekly. All I can say is I'll try be quicker next time.

None of this belongs to me and unfortunately I am making no money.

Chapter Two - Leaving Forks

Bella's POV

I could feel my world crumbling around me. Had everything been a lie? It seemed every memory I had of Renee and Charlie was all of a sudden tainted. Why hadn't they told me? I felt betrayed.

I was silent for a while as everyone stared at me, gauging my reaction. In truth I was devastated and absolutely angry, I had been lied to my whole life.

"What's my name?" I said looking at Charlie, my voice was cold and I could see that it hurt him, right now I didn't care but deep down I knew I would later, when I'd calmed down.

"Your name's Bella," Charlie told me, staring into my eyes even though I was glaring at him. He was trying to show me that he still loved me and it broke my already shattered heart. How much could I be put through and still be expected to function? Wasn't it enough the be broken once?

Though I felt sorry for what I was putting him trough, I felt worse for myself, not a common occurrence.

"What's my name? Obviously I'm not Bella Swan," I demanded staring at Charlie. It didn't look like he was going to answer me so I turned to the two men sitting on the couch.

I raised my eyebrow at Professor Dumbledore, looking for the answer as he had been the one to answer everything else. This time he didn't, his eyes just bore into my own, his blue eyes still twinkling. How were the twinkling at a time like this? Didn't he understand what this information was doing to me? Had they just come here to ruin my life? In my fit of rage it seemed likely.

I waited in silence for a few moments. "Who am I?" I asked my voice no longer had an edge, it was calm. Like the calm before the storm. Charlie knew this but yet he still didn't answer the question with the answer I needed.

"You're still you," he said his voice had a pleading tone to it. I was a sucker for guilt trips and he knew this but I was going to find out. No matter how much it hurt or me, I needed to know the truth.

"Who am I," I asked my voice deathly cold, "And I want an answer this time."

I was very surprised when it was the dark haired man who spoke up, he didn't seem like one for emotional climates. I was the same, I usually had a hard time expressing my emotions.

"You're Bella Snape," he said his voice was emotionless.

I looked at this man, my father? All the similarities I'd seen earlier, they made sense now but what hurt was that he could say this all without an ounce of emotion. He was seeing he daughter for the first time in what, eighteen years?

I turned away I couldn't look at him. I was shaking with anger, tears flooded my eyes like they always did when I was angry.

Both vase's that were placed on either side of the fireplace exploded. Huh, guess I really was magic but I couldn't take that in right now, the anger was overwhelming. I watched as pillows started exploding too, covering the room in feathers.

The last thing I heard before I passed out was the old man saying, "I guess you were right Severus, we should have restored her magical core after we told her about her parentage, not before."

Snape's POV

I was nervous, though my face was schooled into a calm expression. One good thing about my years off ongoing spying. No I take that back I'd rather be an over-emotional fool like Potter, than be a slave to the two masters I have.

Dumbledore stood behind his desk, I was sure he knew I was nervous he always knew. The old man knew too much in my opinion.

"When are we leaving?" I asked, instead of the question that was really on my mind, 'Do we really have to involve her?'.

"I've set up an unauthorised portkey, it's set to go off in exactly two minutes," Dumbledore said looking down on a crumbled piece of paper which I presumed was the portkey.

I had left my only child with a muggle family fourteen years earlier. Many people, except Dumbledore thought it was Lily Evan's that made me switch to the light side but in fact it was my daughter, who had been kept a secret from me for the first four years of her life. It was my daughter that made me a spy.

I never went back for her. I didn't even know her name but I was sure Dumbledore did. I couldn't go back for her, me, Severus Snape, a father. The idea was laughable. I would have put her back in the custody of her mother but she had died in the war. I had escaped with my daughter mere minutes before the Dark Lord attacked.

I had hoped she could stay in the muggle world, it was safer there, especially since Dumbledore put a block on her magic. No one would have found out about her and she would be happy there.

It was all Dumbledore's fault really. Him and his stupid prophecy. In my opinion he gambled too much on what they predicted. For example Potter's prophecy showed him as saviour as the world, something I doubted highly.

I knew she was needed and even though I didn't know her, I didn't want her caught up in raging war. Nobody deserved that.

Dumbledore brought me from my round from my silent reverie with a cough and a pointed look at the crumpled piece of paper which was now glowing. I laid one finger on the portkey. My last thought before I felt the familiar tug at my stomach was 'this is going to me an interesting meeting, especially if she's like me.'

Bella's POV

Ugh, my head was throbbing. I winced as the memories came flooding back, along with embarrassment. I hoped Charlie didn't really like those vases.

"Will she be okay?" I heard Charlie ask his voice undiluted with worry (I kept my eyes closed). I felt so guilty about what I had said earlier, after all it wasn't really his fault.

"She'll be fine, she just over-extorted her magical core, it's not used to being used," Professor Dumbledore's wise voice answered my father? Yes? No? What was Charlie to me now?

This questions only added fuel to my already burning headache, for I had no answers.

I chose then to slowly open my eyes, I shut them quickly. The bright colours were doing nothing to help my headache. I groaned. That's when I felt something being pressed into my hand.

"Drink this, it'll help," came the voice of Professor Snape I honestly didn't know what to call him, he didn't look like he would appreciate the title 'daddy'.

I paused before bringing the vial to my lips, after all I didn't know what it was going to do to me but after another stab of pain issuing from my head I decided I'd take the chance.

It tasted, well there was no other word for it, disgusting. I seriously considered spitting it out. It was worth it though after I had swallowed the disgusting liquid my headache slowly began to ebb away.

No other headache medicine or tablets I knew of worked this fast so I was almost certain it was some kind of magic. A potion maybe? The logical part of my brain was laughing at me but their was nothing logical about what I had seen so far.

When I opened my eyes again everyone was staring at me. It wasn't much of a surprise.

I ran over everything that had happened so far in my head, while they were staring at me. They said they were here to 'collect me'. Well I'd be dammed if I let them take me away from Charlie. He needed me and even if he wasn't my father, he was still, no matter what happened, my family. And I was going to stay with him even if I was curious about magic, even if I was excited about this new world that I was apparently a part of.

"I'm not going with you," I said breaking the silence. "I'm staying with Charlie." I could tell from the look on Charlie's face he wanted to argue with me but Professor Dumbledore spoke up.

"We wouldn't be here unless it was an emergency," he said and at once I knew he was telling the truth and it wasn't just because he had already gained my trust (which by the way I wasn't sure how?) but it also made sense, they had left me alone for this long. Why come looking now?

"How big of an emergency?" I asked because in all honestly they were wizards. What problems did they have that they couldn't solve, with a flick of their wands?

"I can assure you it is a very big emergency," Professor Dumbledore said gravely and I waited for him to elaborate. He did not.

"How am I supposed to help if I don't know what's going on?" I asked impatience leaking into my voice.

I watched as Dumbledore's eyes flickered to Snape and he gave a minuscule nod. It was something I would have missed before I started spending time with the Cullens.

"We can't tell you here, whatever Charlie knows will be a risk to him and anybody around him, if Death Eater's came calling."

That was one thing I couldn't argue with, even if I didn't know who or what these Death Eater's were I didn't want them to be a danger to Charlie, he had been in danger to many times because of me.

I wasn't sure how I was meant to decide to go with them or not. I wasn't going to find out anything unless I went with them and I was curious. Very curious. That would have been the deciding factor if the memory of last time I was curious wasn't still burned into my mind.

If I hadn't found out about the Cullens I wouldn't be hurting so bad now.

So I asked the one question that would decide for me. "If I stay here would I be a danger to Charlie?" I could see the hurt in Charlie's eyes. I had never called him Charlie to his face before.

It was Snape who answered this time, I refused to think of him as a father. "He will not be in any immediate danger as nobody but myself and Professor Dumbledore know of your existence," I flinched internally, "but, the Dark Lord has ways of knowing things."

I raised one eyebrow, the Dark Lord, that didn't sound too good. "So that's a yes then?" I asked not sure what to make of his roundabout answer.

I received a curt nod.

And with that I had made my mind up. I was leaving Forks, the thought ripped my heart open. I was leaving the only place that He seemed to exist but I was doing to keep Charlie safe.

He wouldn't care where I was anyway, after all I was only a mere distraction to him.

"I'll go," I said my voice barely louder than a whisper but I was sure they heard me because Professor Dumbledore's face broke put into a smile. "Good, good," he said clapping his hands together.

I turned to walk back up the stairs but was stopped my Snape's monotonous voice, "There is no need to pack, it was done when you calm down the stairs."

For some reason this made me mad. It was the strongest emotion I had felt since He left. It seemed I was feeling it a lot in this past hour. Honestly, though, what was I supposed to feel they had already packed for me? Would they have kidnapped me if I had refused to go. I counted to ten but it wasn't working and Charlie's things were starting to shake again.

I wasn't sure how to stop them from breaking, it was only when I saw the picture frame that held the only framed picture of me and Charlie crack that everything stopped shaking.

"Sorry," I mumbled not looking up. Were all wizards like this? At any strong emotion destroyed the things around them? I hoped not.

Dumbledore stood up from the seat that he had been resting on. I realised this was our cue to leave.

I rushed over to Charlie and wrapped my arms around his slightly large middle. "I love you…Dad," I said and it was true he would always be my Dad, even if he wasn't really my Dad.

"Goodbye, Bella, you'll always be my little girl," Charlie said before we broke apart and I felt tears stinging my eyes but I refused to let them fall.

I followed the two Professor's out into the hall, afraid to look back in case it opened the flood gates.

Professor Dumbledore pulled out an old, rusty coat hanger from his pocket. He touched it with his wand, I couldn't tell what he said but it glowed blue for a second and then went back to normal.

"Touch it," he said gently. Nervously I reached out and touched it with my middle finger and that was when I felt the weirdest sensation of my life.
