Summary: This is one-shot a Twilight/HP fic that just popped into my head one day AU for HBP and set after Breaking Dawn. Aria accidently de-ages Harry, in order to keep the pint sized hero from his enemies she leaves with an old friend in the unassuming town of Forks.


Bella stood next to her husband watching as their daughter engaged in a game of chess with her Uncle Jasper. When the doorbell rang which wasn't all that extraordinary, nevertheless everyone in the house stiffened, because the person ringing the doorbell had a peculiar and unfamiliar scent. Bella felt a niggling in the back of her mind and felt that the scent was something she should recognize. As she was closest to the door Bella got there first. She opened it to see a cheerful looking young woman.

The woman had raven hair that flared out wildly stopping just past her shoulders. Her storm grey eyes were flecked with blue and full of mischief as she grinned at Bella. She was wearing a worn leather jacket with a plain white t-shirt underneath it, navy jeans, and leather boots that came up to her knees. Bella felt a stirring of recognition in the back of her mind as she looked at the woman.

"Hey Bella Beanie! Long time no see!" exclaimed the woman.

Bella looked at the woman before her again as hazy human memories floated to the surface of her mind. After a few seconds recognition lit her eyes as she remembered who the stranger in front of her was.

"It's okay I know her we went to school together in Arizona" said Bella to quickly for human hearing to pick up.

"What's she doing here?" hissed Rosalie.

"I don't know." answered Bella.

"She's not alone I sense another heart beat with her. They both smell weird, not like food at all" said Jasper.

"Find out what she's doing here" said Rosalie.

"Alright. Anything wrong love" said Bella as she looked at Edward who was staring at their visitor with an intense look.

"I can't read her mind either." said Edward.

Bella heard the sharp intakes of breath and shocked gasps at Edward's frustrated admission. She could see that both Alice and Jasper had adopted looks of fierce concentration.

"I can't get a good read on her emotions" said Jasper.

"I can't see anything either but it's different than with the wolves or Nessie, her future is blurry" added Alice.

"I think you should see what she wants but be careful love." said Edward and Bella nodded slightly. The entire conversation had happened in a matter of seconds and Bella saw that her friend was still standing there looking at her with amusement.

"Hi Aria" said Bella

"You look older Bells must have been puberty. I heard ya tied the knot sorry I couldn't make the wedding I was having some family troubles. I meant to send a present but I never did get around to doing that. Oh well, it's good to see ya again. I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by and say congrats to finally ending up the old ball and chain." said Aria.

"So you were just in the area?" asked Bella arching an eyebrow and shifting he weight and fidgeting a little like she would when she was still human.

"Well I also have a teeny weenie favor I need to ask ya. Here!" said Aria and with that she shoved a baby carrier into Bella's arms and tossed a couple duffle bags into the house which were caught easily.

"What?" asked Bella confused at the infant carrier she had found shoved into her arms with surprising speed.

"I need ya to babysit him for a week. Thanks. Toodles!" shouted Aria. She hopped onto an idling motorcycle that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Before the vampires could even blink she was gone, nothing more than a speck of dust in the distance.

"What the hell just happened?" asked Emmett who was looking just as confused as the rest of the family.

If Bella weren't so shocked she would probably find the whole thing more amusing but she was a bit preoccupied by her jumbled thoughts. Aria had managed to take an entire coven of vampires by surprise and leave behind a squealing infant before they could so much as blink. She couldn't help it the humor of the situation caught up to her and she cracked up as the others sent her slightly worried glances.

"Bella, love are you okay?" asked Edward gently.

"Yes" answered Bella who was certain if she had still been human would have been breathless and wiping away tears of mirth. "It's just we were all surprised by a human despite our speed. in fact I doubt we'll even be able to catch up to her"

"True but what are we going to do about the baby? He can't stay here." said Jasper.

"Well he doesn't smell like food so I don't think it'll be a problem if we're careful plus Jake can help." said Bella thoughtfully. She glanced down at the carrier and saw that the baby was resting peacefully his raven locks curled against his forehead and she could make out a scar just beneath his bangs. Oddly enough it was shaped like a lightning bolt.

"I don't know if that's a good idea Bella" said Carlisle hesitantly.

"Can I see him?" asked Esme gently. She had been slowly inching closer to Bella and the baby as were Rosalie and Alice. Renesme also looked curious but she stayed put by the chessboard. Esme sent her mate a reassuring smile as she gently reached for the carrier that Bella was holding.

"Oh he's just adorable" cooed Esme as she gazed at the peaceful infant. Rosalie peered over her shoulder and nodded in agreement.

"I don't know maybe we could leave him with Charlie" suggested Emmett who cringed at all the glares he received from the women.

"Charlie hasn't taken care of a baby since I was a baby besides she asked me to take care of him." said Bella shrugging uncertainly.

"She will be coming back for him though, right?" asked Jasper.

"I think she will. Alice can you see anything?" asked Bella turning to the pixie like vampire.

Alice closed her eyes and her brow furrowed slightly in concentration as she sifted through the different possible futures. A few minutes later she opened her eyes and smiled brightly at her family. Jasper could feel his mate's exuberance and he wondered what she had seen.

"Everything's going to be just perfect. We need to go shopping!" squealed Alice excitedly. She bounced around and ran out of the room with Jasper following her.

"What did she see?" asked Bella her question directed at Edward.

"I don't know she started thinking of the Greek alphabet so I only got pieces of what she saw" answered Edward irritably.

"Don't worry love I trust Alice, everything will be all right." said Bella.

"Yes I suppose you're right as always." said Edward with a crooked smile as he walked up and put his arms around her waist.

"Well at least things won't be boring" said Bella.

"They never are." said Edward with a slight laugh.
