Hello Everyone.

I cannot believe it!

65 reviews for just 1 chapter.

Thank You everyone for reviewing!!

I have to admit that even I didnt expect that much feedback.

And because it was so popular, I will continue this story. YAY!!

But I want to warn everyone that the updates won't be regular. So don't expect the next one to come out right away.

But who knows, if I get enough reviews, the next chapter might come out quicker.

Chapter 2: Spotted

As they came into view, the pain in my chest grew to an agonizing height, yet somehow I managed to keep quiet.

The Cullen's walked down the hall towards Dumbledore, who had a small smile playing on his face.

There was something odd about the Cullen's though. It was like they were missing something.

Alice didn't seem as perky as she was before they left.
The big goofy grin that used to be spread across Emmett's face was no longer there.

The Rosalie that always used to place herself before others had her shoulder slouched slightly, instead of the proud way she used to stand.

Carlisle and Esme had friendly smiles across their faces, but it didn't reach their eyes. Their eyes held nothing but sadness, it was as if they had lost something terribly dear to them.

Jasper looked like he was in pain, as he usually does among humans, but he looked like he was suffering from his family's emotions. He kept on shooting glances at Edward.

Edward, well, there was so much that had changed about him. His eyes, which he had usually kept at a beautiful topaz, were now void of any emotion but pain. The dark circles under those eyes were much more noticeable, which meant he wasn't feeding as often as he should.

His hair was still the usual messy bronze, but wasn't as shiny as it used to be.

Overall, he seemed to be suffering. Why, I had no idea. But at that moment, I would have given anything to see his crooked smile on his face, instead of the grimace that was now there. And honestly, that need to see him happy again scared me.

"Ah, Carlisle. Good to see you my old friend." Dumbledore said before giving him a welcoming hug, which Carlisle responded to gently.

"Indeed it is Albus."

"And Mrs Cullen, it's good to see you again. I hope you are prepared for this year." Dumbledore said, letting go of Carlisle to shake her hand.

"It's good to see you to Professor. And don't worry, I have everything under control." Esme replied, smiling at him. Dumbledore smiled in response. He then seemed to remember that he had an audience, so he turned back to the school.

"Students, these are the Cullen's. This here is Dr Carlisle Cullen and he will be helping Madam Pomfrey in the Hospital Wing." There other students looked shocked about Carlisle being a doctor whilst being a vampire, but Dumbledore reassured them that he had spent years perfecting his self control. "This is Professor Esme Cullen, and she will be your new Potions Master. Do not be fooled by her sweet demeanour, she is a strict as any other teacher here." At this; all the Slytherin's snickered, not believing that Esme could be as strict as Dumbledore was saying. Of Course in typical Cullen style, Esme threw her most vicious glare towards the Slytherin table, causing them all to shut up. Some even flinched at the sight.

Happy that she had proven a point, she smiled angelically at them. I almost laughed at the sight. It was really quite funny seeing the Slytherin's fear Esme, who I know wouldn't hurt a fly (unless absolutely necessary).

Dumbledore smiled slightly before turning back to the rest of the school.

"I would also like to introduce their children, figuratively speaking of course." I quickly cast my eyes down at the table. It was hard to keep looking at them but knowing that they didn't care for me anymore. "This is Edward, flinch, Alice, flinch, Rosalie, flinch, Emmett, flinch and Jasper. Now I know that they are here to help protect the school, but they will also be attending seventh year lessons and will be sorted into houses." At this McGonagall stepped forward, picked up the sorting hat and motioned for one of the Cullen kid's to go first. None of them looked particularly eager to go first but Alice bravely stepped forward and sat on the stool.

McGonagall gently placed the hat on top of Alice's head, leaving it there. I could tell that Alice wasn't pleased with having the hat on her head, it was probably too out of fashion for her, plus it would mess up her hair.

Everyone waited patiently for the hat to decide which house Alice would go in, but for some reason, I had a feeling I wouldn't like which house she entered.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted and immediately my house cheered for their new arrival. I just shrank lower into my seat. I could see Harry and the others looking at me worriedly, but thankfully didn't say anything.

Following his wives example, Jasper sat down and McGonagall placed the sorting hat on his head.

"GRYFINDOR!" The hat shouted, followed by another chorus of cheers from my house. Jasper smiled and quickly went to sit next to Alice who had already found herself a seat. Not one of the Gryffindor's around them flinched away, obviously because of their bravery. I had honestly never been more proud of my house. I knew how intimidating it was to sit next to a vampire, due to my own personal experience. The only difference was that the vampire they were sat near too wasn't trying to fight the urge to bite their necks.

Emmett quickly moved to go next, so once seated, McGonagall placed the hat on his head.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled once again.

"Bloody Hell!" Ron whispered. "Do you see the size of him? Those muscles are huge!" he exclaimed quietly. I quickly put my head down to hide me from view. No matter how quiet you are, the Cullen's would defiantly hear you, and I didn't want them spotting me yet.

"I know, and by the looks of it, all the Cullen children will end up in Gryffindor, just like how all us Weasley's are in the same house." Ginny whispered.

God I hope not!

It was now Rosalie's turn, but this time, the hat seemed to be taking longer than with the others. It seemed she was having a mental argument with it, because she didn't look too pleased about what the hat was discussing with her. But it quickly made a decision.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted again. Rosalie was definitely pleased that she was placed with her husband. However, the male students from other houses weren't too happy that she hadn't been placed with them. Rosalie quickly sauntered over to where Emmett sat and gracefully placed herself down next to him, much to Seamus Finnegan's delight, who was on the other side of her. I could easily see the drool down the side of his mouth. Emmett also noticed this, so he quickly wrapped his arm around Rosalie's waist and flashed Seamus a predatorily grin, showing all his teeth. Now that did make Seamus flinch away.

It was finally Edward's turn so he slowly sat down in the stool. I couldn't help notice the worried glances Carlisle and Esme exchanged. Something bad must have happened when they left me.

I watched as once again the sorting hat was placed on his head. I couldn't help but hope that the sorting hat would follow its pattern and place Edward in Gryffindor. I knew that if it did, that it would only cause me more pain, but there was a small part of me that believed that he still loved me. Even though it was painfully obvious that he didn't, seeing as he went and left.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted for the final time. I hadn't realised that I was holding my breath until it was released in a big gust. The other Gryffindor's were cheering loudly as Edward moved to sit with his siblings. I looked around and noticed many disappointed faces of girls from the other houses. I wasn't too shocked by this, Edward was gorgeous.

"Well then," Dumbledore said, "now that that's finished, let the feast begin."

There were many squeals of delight from the first years as the food magically appeared onto the tables.

Quick as a whip, Ron was the first to pile food onto his plate, immediately causing me and Hermione to roll our eyes.

"Honestly Ronald!" Hermione complained angrily.

"What?" He asked with a mouth full of food.

"You could at least chew with your mouth closed. No one wants to see what's inside."

Ron just shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating his food.

Hermione crossed her arms in annoyance and was about to say something, but I jumped in, quickly forgetting about the Cullen's.

"Don't worry 'Mione, what do you expect from him. Besides, when Ron is going to have trouble with his homework, which he will, he is going to come running to either one of us for help, which he definitely will." Ron quickly stopped eating and looked up at us. "And when that happens, we can just ignore him until he learns to chew his food properly." I whispered to her; just loud enough for my other friends to hear also. They quickly erupted in laughter at Ron's horror struck face. Both me and Hermione grinned at him and started eating our food, all the time ignoring Ron's pleas.

"Oh, come on Bella; don't be like that. I'm going to need both of your help when it comes down to it." We both still ignored him. "Please! I'm going to end up failing if I don't have your help to tutor me."

I looked up and smirked, not realising we had an audience. "Well Ron, if you start eating properly, maybe we'll consider it." I knew very well that regardless of what Ron did; Hermione would still help him. She didn't want Ron to fail, and besides, I can tell she secretly loves spending the time to tutor him, and him alone.

"Fine!" Ron huffed and started eating again at a much slower rate than what he was before.

Both Hermione and I laughed in triumph before going back to eating.

Suddenly, Harry, Ron and Ginny stopped eating and stared wide mouthed at something that appeared to be above my and Hermione's heads. Simultaneously, we both stopped eating and looked at our friends as if they had gone crazy.

"You know, if you keep your mouths open like that, I wouldn't be surprised if fly's started flying into your mouths." I stated. That instantly got them to shut their mouths but they still wouldn't stop staring.

"Bella?" A familiar male voice asked in disbelief.

I stiffened in my seat, feeling all the colour drain from my face. Slowly, as if to stop myself from making any sudden movements, I twisted my body round to face the person behind me.

"Edward." I whispered in shock. All five of the Cullen kids were standing behind me, staring at me in shock, and...happiness?

All the other students had stopped what they were doing and were watching us in interest, everyone silent so they could hear what was going on.

There was suddenly a gasp coming for the professors table and all heads whipped round to see the source of the sound.

Esme and Carlisle were standing up from their seats, looking at me in disbelief. Esme started walking round the table and slowly made her way towards me, with Carlisle following in her tracks. It seemed that if she could, she would be crying tears right now. I was too shocked to move, and I could sense that my friends didn't know what to do.

The younger Cullen's moved out of the way to let their parents through, although it seemed that Edward was reluctant to do so. But with a quick look at Alice, he stepped back to allow Esme and Carlisle through.

They stopped right in front of, just staring. It seemed that they were afraid that if they said something, I might run away from them.

I couldn't even move from my seat, even if I wanted to. The two people whom I had come to love as parents were standing in front of me and I didn't know what to say. I'd missed them both so much when they left, though not as much as Edward. When they left, I felt abandoned and unloved, but now, I could clearly see the love in their eyes.

I felt the tears slowly gather in my eyes but I tried to keep them at bay. I didn't need to be crying in front of the whole school.

Unfortunately, one stray tear fell from my eye.

Gently, Esme brought her hand to my face and whipped away the tear that fell.

"Bella." She said gently, a soft, happy smile on her face.

As quickly as I could, I leapt out of my seat and clung onto Esme as if my life depended on it. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders, holding me to her. The tears were falling freely now, and sobs were wracking my body.

"Es-Esme." I choked out.

"Shh Bella, Shh. It's okay." She said, trying to calm me.

"You-Your Here." I whispered.

"Yes."

"Bella." I heard Carlisle murmur. His arms wrapped around both me and Esme.

I was slowly calming down, but I still refused to let go. There was a cough from behind us and we turned to see Dumbledore smiling at us, his eyes twinkling happily like they usually did.

"Maybe it would be a good idea if we continued this reunion in private?" He asked with one of his eyebrows raised.

"Yes, that may be a very good idea Albus." Carlisle agreed.

"Please follow me to my office then." Dumbledore said, turning towards the doors. He paused for a moment before turning back to look at us. "Mr Potter, will you and your friends come too please. I don't think this story needs to be repeated twice."

Not needing to be told twice; Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny quickly stood up. They looked at me with concern in their eyes, and I could tell that they had questions to ask.

Slowly, I released Esme from my death grip and walked to my friends.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked me.

I just nodded my head. I could tell he didn't believe me, but didn't ask any questions. Probably waiting to till we get to Dumbledore's office.

Harry grabbed my hand and gave it a comforting squeeze.

I could feel someone's eyes on me, so I looked up to see Edward staring at mine and Harry's entwined hands. I didn't let go. Harry was my brother in every way other than blood related.

Edward looked up and stared at me with hurt clear in his eyes, obviously jumping to wrong conclusions, but I didn't bother correct him. Why should he care anymore? He left.

Though, it should be obvious from Harry's thoughts that it was nothing.

"Bella." I heard Edward say. I forced my self to look away. It was too hard to look at him.

"Come along now." Dumbledore said. I snapped my head forward, purposely avoiding looking at Edward, and started walking out of the great hall. I still had a hold of Harry's hand; it was the only thing that was keeping me from running away at the moment.

It was going to be hard to explain things to them that I had left out. I mean, they knew I was in love, but they didn't know all the details.

This is going to be a long explaination.

There you go, the second chapter.
So, tell me what you think.
I personally don't think that this chapter was as good as it could be, but review if you think otherwise.
And remember, I don't give Ultimatums. I just want people to review.
And chances are that the more reviews I recieve, the quicker I update.
LOVE YOU ALL!!
