Hey again!

I just want to clear some things up about where Bella comes into the Harry Potter side of the story, some things are very different. Harry's parents are still alive and in the order, it was Bella's parents who were killed by Voldemort. The first five years of Harry Potter happened to Bella instead of him and he was just a friend that was there along the way with Hermione, Ginny and Ron.

Now that that's cleared up, I hope you like the first chapter


Quidditch Captain

Six months had passed since Edward left and I returned to Hogwarts. I still missed him terribly and although I tried to ignore it I felt incomplete without him by my side. My friends could all see the change in me after I returned but they never brought it up.

Today was the first of September and the day I started my seventh and final year. I'd caught up in all my classes and was now ahead again. Everyone remembered and was still curious about my six month long disappearance but no one knew what had actually happened. The only people who knew where and why I went were The Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore. The Order of the Phoenix is a secret organization determined to destroy Voldemort; they were the ones who sent me to Forks in the first place, fearing for my safety. However, what actually happened while I was away was a mystery to even Dumbledore.

I'd spent my entire summer holidays at The Order's headquarters, as it was now technically my house. It had originally belonged to my god father but he died about two months before I left for Forks, leaving the house to me in his will. My friends had been staying at headquarters as well, as all their parents were part of The Order and they had to be close by.

Yesterday as Dumbledore left headquarters to return to Hogwarts for the start of a new year he'd pulled me aside. Not only did he want me to have private lessons with him from now on but he made me Gryffindor Quidditch captain. I played seeker, while Harry and Ginny played Chaser and Ron, Keeper. Sadly, Hermione wasn't really into Quidditch.

The five of us ran through the fake wall on the London train station.

"Bye kids," Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Ginny's mum, called, kissing us all on the cheek. She along with Mr. Weasley and some of the other order members had escorted us here for safety.

"Bye mom," Ginny said before Hermione, Ginny and I took our luggage onto the train. Harry and Ron followed shortly after, having said goodbye to their parents, and the five of us went and found an empty compartment.

"What did Dumbledore want yesterday?" Ginny asked.

I quickly pulled out my wand and casted a non-verbal spell; the compartment was now sound proof. Some of the students on this train were children of Death Eaters and were helping their parents to get information out of us. One of them, Draco Malfoy, had tried to put a truth potion in Harry's drink last year but I'd caught him right before he did it.

"He wants me to have private lessons with him this year," I said.

"Private lessons?" Harry asked.

I nodded, "I'm not quite sure what for though."

"Isn't it obvious?" Hermione asked, always the smart one.

"Isn't what obvious?" Ron asked, always the slow one.

Hermione sighed, "He'll be giving her lessons to help with killing Voldemort."

Everyone other than Hermione and I flinched at her speaking his name.

"Oh come on," I said rolling my eyes, "It's just a name. Plus there are worst things out there than Voldemort."

As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Although wizards and witches knew of most magical creatures, they did not know of Vampires and I'd kept the secret, not having told anyone. Everyone turned to stare at me with wide eyes.

"There's something worse than Voldemort out there?" Ginny asked. Harry put his arm around her; I'd been pleasantly surprised when I'd returned to discover that they were together.

I nodded slowly, "Something far worse." Although vampires like the Cullens didn't scare me in the slightest, red eyed vampires were far worse. I'd face Voldemort over vampires like James any day.

I could see Ron open his mouth to ask but I shook my head.

"I never said that," I told them sternly, letting them know that I wasn't about to elaborate.

They all nodded.

"Is that all he wanted?" Hermione asked, returning to the original point to this conversation.

I shook my head before grinning wickedly at Harry and Ron. "Turns out McGonagall made me Quidditch captain."

"What?" They said in unison. Before I could open my mouth to repeat myself Hermione interrupted.

"I don't see why you care so much about Quidditch. It's just a game," she said, sighing.

"You didn't grow up in the magical world, Hermione. It wasn't a part of your childhood like it was ours," Harry told her.

"It wasn't part of Bella's either," she pointed out.

"It's in her blood though," Ginny said, joining the argument. "Her father was the greatest seeker Hogwarts has ever seen, before her of course." She finished, grinning at me.

I grinned back. At times like these I always felt happy; I knew I couldn't be whole without Edward by my side but my friends always made it easier. Laughing and joking with them always brought a smile to my face, though I knew that they could tell that behind the smile I was suffering.
