Chapter 3 - Secrets revealed.

Ivory tore her uniform off of her. She ran from the locker room. She charged into the bathrooms and looked at herself in the mirror. How stupid could I have been! she mentally screamed to herself. Because of the stress of moving and trying to adapt to the new time and school she had neglected to keep up with her glamour charms. The one on her arm were a lost cause so she focused on the others. Her lightening scar vanished from view as did the one on her back. She remembered the one on her left hand had been covered since yesterday before she was distracted by the thought of school. She pulled her sleeve up and let to rest on her elbow. She traced the scar tissue and was unwillingly thrust back to when she had gotten this.

*Flashback*

Young Ivory Potter staggered towards the kitchen. She was five years old here and she began to prepare her whale of a cousins lunch. She pulled out the ham and cheese from the fridge. She placed them carefully on the kitchen counter. She used the handle of the broom to open the door to the highest cupboard. She placed it back down and pulled a chair from the dining room and craned her arms to reached the loaf of bread perched at the back of the cupboard. Normally she would have used the broom again but with her uncle out of work for the time being she had to be extra careful about what she did. She jumped trying to clasp the edge of the plastic wrapping of the bread she missed. She tried again. She sighed and stood on the chair and tried to think of a way she could get the bread. What happened next amazed her.

The bread moved! It slid out of the cupboard and landed alongside the fillings. She stared at it her face etched in curiosity and shock. "You little freak" A voice ahead of her hissed. She snapped her neck up to meet the mountain of lard that was her uncle. They stood for a few moments stock still. Then he lunged at her. He kicked the chair out from under her. She landed hard on the floor and cracked her head against the counter. Slightly dazed she clambered to her feet. Her Uncle grabbed her arm and held it tight. "Nasty Little freaks must be punished" He spat at her. Something silver glinted in his hand. She screamed as the metal broke skin. She continued to scream and beg. He just continued as though nothing happened. She was marked that day. In more ways than one.

*End of Flashback*

Ivory choked back a sob. She heard the bell go for lunch. She swallowed back her fear and rolled down the sleeve to her grey checked shirt. She grabbed her bag and swung it onto her shoulders she took one last look in the mirror. No red puffy eyes met her gaze. She silently prayed her classmates would have more tact than to openly ask the question she was sure burned on their minds. That it would seem to be a blessing.

She walked into the canteen and held back a grimace The smell of food invaded her nose. She had to struggle not to gag. That it seems was another downside to being dead,Or dead in a way, She couldn't eat or enjoy the smell of food anymore. To her it smelt like rotting day old rubbish. She scanned the room hoping for a table where she could read her book, the fourth part of one of Remus's handwritten journals of his travels, no such look. The girl form her history class Jessica called her over. She bit back a groan and sat down. "Hey Ivory" She said as she dumped her bag on the floor.

"Hey Jessica" She greeted and recognized only one other person at this table. Mike something from gym. She didn't like the way he was staring at her arm. "So anyways here are my friends. Mike, Angela and Eric. She nodded to each of them. Soon the talk turned to spring fling or whatever the hell it was called. "Are you going" Jessica asked Ivory.

"Hell to the no...Me and dances so do not mix" Ivory said running a hand through her hair. The warrior in her screaming at her for leaving her back exposed the teen in her wondering if it was worth going to the dance. This left her with a serious headache. Then the door leading to the parking lot opened and a family of extremely pale people. Ivory looked as people stared at them like they were glittering gems or something. She looked at them and sure they were pretty and the one with e bronze coloured hair looked attractive but she wasn't sure why people were going gaga for them. "Okay mind telling me why every one is staring at them like they just cured cancer" Ivory asked. Jessica turned to face her and launched into the story. "They're the Cullen's"

"They don't exactly look related"

"Well they're not. They were fostered by Dr Cullen and his wife. Well all of them were except Bella she's the brown haired one"

"That was nice of them to take in all of them. There's a lot of kids that don't have that" Her mind flashed briefly to her parents graves and number four privet drive. "Well...Yeah I guess it was" Jessica said trailing off.

"But every one thinks it's cause Mrs Cullen can't have kids" Mike said in a tone that made Ivory clench her fists. Ivory narrowed her eyes to glare at Mike. "The fact that she can't have kids makes it all the better. The fact that those two opened their home to not just one but to five of them makes them pretty damn nice people. And you, You pathetic bastard make it seem like something dirty. I know for a fact that some people would have killed to have someone like that" She stood to leave.

"Jeez why you getting all emotional like that"

"I don't know maybe it's because I would have killed to have something like that when I was growing up" She snapped before she stalked away from the shocked Mike and his table. She made a beeline to the library and pulled out the journal and soon lost herself in Remus's travels and his scratchy handwriting.

Earlier at the Cullen/Swan table.

The Cullen's and Bella sat down and tried to look oblivious to the stares around them. Then a voice behind them snapped the eyes of one Jessica Stanley from boring into Edward's skull. "Okay mind telling me why every one is staring at them like they just cured cancer or something" A voice that gave Edward butterflies in his dead stomach. He turned it down to needing to hunt. The whole table except Bella who sat picking at her food was listening in on the conversation.

"They're the Cullen's"

"They don't look related" The girl noted.

"Perceptive" Emmet noted.

"Well they're not. They were fostered by Dr Cullen and his wife. Well all of them except Bella. She's the brown haired one". The Cullen's grimaced as they waited for the follow up gossip. Rosalie was prepared to snap at the offending girl but soon stopped and listened when instead of more nosy intrusive questions they heard "That was nice of them to take in all of them. There's a lot of kids that don't have that". The Cullen's shared a look. Edward, Who had been trying to read her mind since the morning at the lot, Watched as two graves and a house flashed in her mind and then it was an old radio he got flashes of strong emotion filled thoughts but they were brief at best.

He understood. "She's an orphan" he clarified to his sibling's. They nodded and felt a little compassion go out to the girl. Even Rosalie who had strict beliefs about humans felt a little sorry for the girl. This was soon replaced collectively by immense anger as they heard the pig headed Mike Newton say "But every one thinks it's cause Mrs Cullen can't have kids". Edward had to literally hold Emmet in his seat and saw form the corner of his eye that Rosalie was starting to stand. They all paused in there tiny vampiric actions as they heard the new girl hiss at him.

"The fact that she can't have kids makes it all the better. The fact that those two opened their home to not just one but to five of them makes them pretty damn nice people. And you, You pathetic bastard make it seem like something dirty. I know for a fact that some people would have killed to have someone like that". They all smiled at each other that a human that didn't even know them was willing to defend them. They listened with partial interest as she revealed her secret. But Bella,Who had been quiet up till now, "Well that's a little sad". Even Edward thought that was an understatement. Rose merely sneered and talked to Emmet.

It was no secret that Rosalie hated Bella. But now it appeared that Alice had begun to act cold towards her. That was odd and Edward just hoped it would resolve itself soon. The bell sounded and Edward headed to biology whilst Bella and Alice headed to English.


As Ivory neared the biology room she thanked the merciful fuck that today was nearly over. Just one more lesson to go and she would be free.

Edward watched as she handed her slip to the teacher and walk towards the seat next to him. Then it hit him. Her scent. At first he panicked. Two singers. In one school! But then as he dared to sniff a little more he found it pleasant and not overpowering his control. In fact his inner vampire was...It appeared to be..Purring! He watched as she lay her notepad on the desk and decided to pursue her. "Hi" he said.

Ivory walked closer to the desk. Then she felt it. her magic was reaching out and it connected to a person sending shivers down her spine. She gasped inwardly as she realized what it meant. She had a magical mate. In the wizarding world powerful witches and wizards had mates.

Soul mates that would be the perfect match for their magic. Nothing on earth would stop a witch/Wizard on their quest to claim their mate. She sat down next to him and pulled her stuff from her bag. She felt sure she was robbed of the chance of ever having a mate when she chose to accept the hallows. This effectively ended her life making her an immortal soul. She would never have a mate. Even if she found one they would age and die leaving her alone in the world to suffer eternity. She silently vowed to herself she wouldn't giver herself the chance to know him or get close to him. That all went out of the window when he said "Hi".

"Hi...I'm Ivory" She said back. More shivers down her spine as her magic reached out again.

"I'm Edward Cullen..I'll be your partner"

"Well okay then Mr Partner be prepared to help with some serious catch up. I haven't studied Biology in years"

"Why not" As she tried to ignore the feeling her voice gave him.

"I was sent to a specialist school. we didn't have to learn things like biology". Why was she telling him this? WHY?

"What did you have to learn"

"Music was a large portion of mine" She answered a she remembered the days spent at Grimmauld place playing with siruis at his piano. "You play" He asked. The teacher seemed to just melt into the background as the two immortal teens talked further.

"Yeah..I can play Piano and guitar" She replied. The teen in her was giddy at talking to him. It had been so long since she had talked to a boy in a conversation that didn't imnvolve batle plans. But justa s it seemed the teen in her would overpower her the warrior stuck back. It began to add things up. The plae skin. The eye colour and the staring at lunch. Wht mortal could resist a vampire lure?. Then it hit her. He was a vampire. But the eye colour told her he was an amnimal drinker. She debated telling him she knew but she decided againts it. Rule number 20 of war: Never tell an unknown subject your upperhand.

"Ivory" His oice broke through her inner battle"

"I'm sorry..What I just sorta zoned out there" She said nervously laughing. Gah! Since when did she Ivory potter act like this!.

"I asked how long you've been playing" Edward asked again. Gah! How many more people are gonna show up being immune to his powers?

"Oh right...Well I started learning Piano 2 years ago but I've been playing guitar since I was five...It was a good distraction"

"From what" He asked slightly pressing. She opened her mouth to answer when the bell sounded. They had talked the entire hour. Ivory released covering breath. She had almost blurted out her whole life story to him. "Well I gotta go see ya tomorrow"

"Yeah sure" he said but she had already left the room. Then it hit him. Her heart. It wasn't beating.
