Chapter 3:

Packs and Bella and Plans, Oh My!

Edwards POV (though no one really cares what he thinks)

'Bella?' Edward thought to himself as he watched his ex-girlfriend sashay into the Great Hall while everyone else (save for the Cullen's and a few others who-shall-not-be-named) erupted in cheers as she walked down the tables and high-fived people she passed till she made it to the front of the room by the teachers table and hugged Ms. Riddle-no, her mother. She then turned around and went to the Slytherin table as she (yet again) high-fived everyone there and hugged her family.

Her real family

Turning to one of the Gryffindor's to his left (she introduced herself as Hermione Granger) he asked her what was going on. The girl glared at Bella for a second before she answered "That's Isabella Riddle, also known as one of the most popular and prettiest girls in our school. She's known for throwing wild and amazing parties that only people she finds 'acceptable'" she motioned with her fingers to make air quotes "Are invited to. She was suspended last year for doing the crucio curse on one of the students".

"Who was the person she did the curse on?" Rosalie asked from across from her, the girl paused for a minute before answering "She did the curse on me" Edward's eyes widened at this then he looked across the room to were Bella was sitting.

'Bella…what have you turned into?'

Tobias POV

Tobias waited for his sister to walk over to them so they could meet, greet, an catch up. "Hey baby brother!" she yelled as she gave him a bone crushing hug, "And heys to you Coeur Angle" Bella greeted Amour while giving her a tender hug and a loving kiss on the cheek, she smiled down at Amour until she felt a nudge at her hip and looked down to see Oinkers trying to get her attention. She stared at him for a minute "I don't even want to know why you have a pig Tobias and personally I don't give a bloody damn" she said making me giggle as she sat down in between me and Amour. We started introducing her, Jasper, and Bianca to everyone till we finally got to Draco.

"And this is my new best friend Draco Malfoy" Bianca and Bella looked at us (Draco and me) skeptically for a second, "Malfoy? Are you by any chance the son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy?" Bella asked "Yes, why do you ask?" Bella and Bianca shared a look before turning back to Draco and me. "Oh, nothing at all" they both said together while giving us twin smirks, we all turned our heads to the front when Bumblewhore began talking again.

"It is wonderful that we are able to welcome back both Bella and Bianca to Hogwarts for another year, ladies if you and your family would please stay behind so I may talk to you about something of upmost importance along with the Cullen's if you would. Everyone else you may go to your respective houses" Everyone who wasn't ordered to stay left. Pansy and Blaise gave us encouraging thumbs up before they made their way out the door together along with the other Slytherins. After the Great Hall was empty of the other students we (Bella, Bianca, Amour, mom, Jasper, Draco-we consider him family- and me) made our way to the front were Dumbledore and the Cullen's were already waiting.

"Is there something you still need from us Albus? Because right now I would rather spend my time catching up with my daughters and getting to know Bianca's new mate that she" mother turned to give her a mock glare "Failed to tell me or her father about" "Why yes Drusilla there is still much we need to talk about, I do believe the Cullen's deserve an explanation as to what is going on. Please everyone let's sit"

Bella's POV!

Oh to bloody joy! First I find out that I don't even get to spend some time with my family (namely Amour) and now I have to waste it explaining to these half brains what the fuck is going on!

Just. Bloody. Brilliant

"Well then let's get this over with! I have things to do!" I grumbled, I sat down at one of the long tables as everyone sat around waiting for me to start. "So let's start from the beginning shall we? First off my real name is Isabella Holli Riddle daughter of Tom Marvalo Riddle and Drusilla Anastasia Riddle; I have a twin sister named Bianca Jackalin Riddle and a younger brother Tobias Alexander Riddle along with a younger sister Amour Nemcissia Riddle".

"I was suspended last year along with my sister for placing the crucio curse on a fellow student for insulting my family, Dumbledore was going to make it two years but we only got one for being on good behavior. And that's where you come in. Dumbledore said that if we were to spend time with you vamp-muggles and were on our best behavior the whole time that we could come back and at least graduate with our younger siblings. Dumbledore was hoping that with spending time with you that we would end up joining the light instead of siding with our father (fat chance). And before you even think it no, I would have not been safer in Forks because I am more than capable since I am an L'enfer Diable and what that is you will find out in a minute. Any questions?"

Alice spoke up first before any of the others could-she was looking at Jasper "Yes just one, Jasper, why the hell are you and Bianca so close together?" Jasper smirked "Because Alice before I was turned into a vampire I was, and still am, a very powerful wizard. After I had left Maria I needed a place to stay from the remaining newborns that had a grudge on me for killing her so I sought out refuge with you and your family. For a while I thought I was in love with you Alice, until I met Bianca" he turned to look at said elle diable and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand lovingly "And then everything changed, I found my true love and was once again let back into the world I had lost so long ago"

Alice looked on the verge of crying if she could "No! You're not supposed to love her! You're supposed to love me! We were meant to be together forever how could you possibly be sure that this girl really loves you!" she yelled franticly. Jasper looked at Bianca "Do you wanna tell her or do you want me too?" the green eyed girl sighed "No I'll tell her" she turned to look at Alice who was glaring daggers at her "Ms. Cullen have you ever heard of a L'enfer Diable or also known as a Hell Devil?" the short girl shook her head.

"Well a Hell Devil is (as the name implies) a devil from hell or a descendent of one that has come to live in the surface world. Hell Devils normally are very beautiful creatures that are identified by having bright or surprisingly strange colors in their hair that not even the strongest glamour can hide. We have powers that range from many different abilities and strengths but the two traits that all of us have are that we have giant bat like wings and tail that are the same color as the streaks in our hair and that we have a destined mate that we can identify with scent and aura. A Hell Devils mates scent is going to be one of the best smells that they have and will ever smell in their whole immortal lives and their aura has to be the same color as their own. So simply putting it Jasper has one of the best smells in the world to me and his aura is a golden-brown, just like mine"

Bianca finished explaining and looked Alice in the eye daring her to object but before the (rather stupid) vampire could say anything Edward interrupted "So if this means that you're a Hell Devil Bella then why does it seem like you don't want me?" me and my family all gave him similar looks of 'WTF' "What the hell do you mean 'why does it seem like I don't want you'?" Edward then gave me the 'WTF' look "Well its only logical that I'm your mate and now that I know you're not in any danger we can finally be together" Edward takes my hand in his "And maybe I can convince you to choose the right side" he said giving me a hopeful look.

I sneered at him and yanked my hand out of his "Like hell I would choose the right side I'm already on the bloody right side! And as for being my mate I am more than happy to tell you that I already have one!" I spat out at him. Edward looked at me wide eyed for a second "What the hell do you mean you already have a mate! Who the hell is he!" he roared at me while standing up, I stood up too while slamming my hands on the table making it crack a little "You best watch who your yelling at Cullen before I send you straight to hell!" it wasn't a complete lie, just because I couldn't open large portals to hell like my mom doesn't mean a damn thing! .

"And another thing who my mate is has nothing to do with you! She has nothing to do with you!" I roared at him, relishing at the surprised look on his face. "Yes Edward Cullen I'm gay and am proud of it and if you don't like it you can drop dead!" and with that I grabbed Amour's hand and lead her out of the Great Hall with me.

Draco's POV

Well that was surprising. Not only did I learn that my secret crush is a Hell Devil but I also learned that his older sister may be in love with her younger sister.

Yep, this family isn't weird at all.

"Well I believe we are done here, goodnight Dumbledore, Cullen's" Drusilla motioned for us to follow her. As we made our way down the hall Tobias explains to me why he couldn't tell me what he really was "The reason I couldn't tell you Draco because it wasn't the right time to tell you, I was gonna tell you next month on your birthday but now the surprise is ruined" Tobias started pouting cutely in a way that made Draco's pants a little snug. 'Just by seeing him pout makes me stiff! Oh this boy is going to be the death of me' Draco thought to himself as he watched Tobias chat animatedly with his sister.

They made their way to the Slytherin common room when Bianca asked "So what room is Bella in again?" "I know she's sharing a room with Amour-my poor daughter's going to get no sleep- and her room is on the second floor". I was confused for a second till I asked Tobias what his mother meant by that "She just means how Bella has raging hormones and sadly since Amour is her mate she is the only one that can satisfy her" Tobias stated nonchalantly "Don't worry after a while you'll get used to it" I stopped in my tracts for a second to look at my dark haired crush like he was crazy.

After several minutes of prying Bella off of Amour we find our favorite characters in the Common room!

"Well I bet you have some questions for us concerning what we really are now don't you Draco" Drusilla asked while crossing her long legs. Draco thought for a minute before shaking his head "No not really when Bianca had explained everything back in the Great Hall I pretty much got it. All I have to ask is if there is anything else I should know?" Bella thought for a moment before she answered "Well the last thing you really need to know is about the packs" "The packs?" Draco asked confused.

"Well a pack is sorta like a Hell Devils gang that includes a total of nine members. The first two are the Alpha and his/her beta, the Alpha is the leader of the pack and is the heart and soul that of them. The beta will usually be the Alphas mate whether him/her be dominant or submissive in the relationship it doesn't really matter. Next are the three warriors, they are all skilled in potion making, physical and magical combat, and weapons but each of them is more skilled then the others in one of the categories".

"Then you have the healer who is (like the warriors) with the Alpha and beta at all times just in case one of them gets hurt or the submissive in the relationship goes into labor. Then you have the tortures master, this role is usually done by a female, which gets information using medieval and modern torture techniques. After that you have the spy in the group, he or she is usually very beautiful for they use that as one of their methods to get information and sneak and snoop. Last but not least is the herboligst (sp?) that knows any and all things about herbs and plants, they come in very handy if a mysterious substance that was done by a plant is given to someone in the pack".

"Now the last thing you need to know is that all of the pack members are separated into partners of two or three. The first pair of partners is the Alpha and the beta, the second is the three warriors, the third is the herboligst and the healer, and the last is the spy and the torturer. Now are there any questions?" Draco looked at Bella dumbly for a second till he finally asked "Yes, how the hell were you able to say all that in one breath?" he said baffled and slightly annoyed that they all started to laugh at him.

Tobias recovered first "She has been able to give entire speeches in one breath" he said giggling into his palm, he put Oinkers in his lap and continued "I have already decided on the members that I'm going to have in my pack, I planned on having Neville Longbottom as my herboligst since he has the highest grade in our school for it. Luna Lovegood as my torture mistress, Ginny Weasley as my spy, Millicent as my weapons warrior, Pansy Parkinson as my physical and magical combat warrior, and Blaise Zabini as my potions warrior. And Theodore Nott as my Healer".

My jaw was hanging on the floor (much like everyone else's) at the list of the people he wanted in his pack, Tobias looked at us confused for a second before he realized why we were looking at him like that and quickly explained "I have very much faith in Luna, Ginny, and Neville because for the last month I have been coaxing them to join us. Ginny has been wanting to break away from her family because of their views on the war-she says that they see Dumbledore as some kind of god and that her and her older brothers Fred and George are the only ones that see what really is going on so she makes the perfect spy because no one would expect it to be her. Luna says she sees greatness in me and that if she joins me she will be on the side that has the right views".

"And Neville has a hidden strength that needs its chance to break free for the world to see. They make the perfect additions" after everyone agreed with what Tobias said we all talked for a little longer until it was time for bed. As Tobias and I made our way to our room I just realized something I hadn't noticed before "Tobias, you never did tell us who your beta was going to be, who is it?" Tobias stopped in his tracks a few steps ahead of me. He turned his green eyes to me and gave me one of his famous seductive smirks, before I knew what happened he pushed me into the wall and pressed his pink lips to my pale ones.

Like the one we had shared on the first day of school this one was mind blowing but held much more intimacy then the last. After a few more passion filled minutes the dark haired boy pulled away panting and a slight blush on his face, he smiled at me "You tell me" he said and with that Tobias picked up Oinkers who had been set down on the floor and made his way down the hall, leaving me breathless.
