The Volturi Princess

-A Couple Day's Later-

Marcus looked at his daughter, as he handed her a blanket, that had been obviously used a lot. He brought it to his nose, and smiled as his daughters scent filled his senses, "From the moment Heidi brought you into the throne room, I knew you were mine."

Hermione smiled as she looked at her father, who was sitting in her reading chair, in the corner of her room, "Caius, he admitted that he thought I might be a danger, and wanted to kill me right away. Than you removed me from Aro's hold, and told everyone not to harm me."

"I am not surprised he admitted that to you, you two never did share any secrets, since you were younger," The vampire stared at a painting, which Jane, had done of the father, and daughter, when she was fourteen. He loved everything about his daughter, he gave her a second chance at caring for someone, and that was why he always made sure she was given whatever she needed. "I want you to take this blanket," he remained seated, as he stretched out his blanket clasped hands to her.

She smiled as she came, and sat on her father's lap, as she pulled the blanket to her chest, "I hardly think this will keep me warm father," she teased.

"It still holds the scent you had, from when you were first dropped at our door," He stroked his daughters hair, as she stared down at the purple fabric, "Maybe if he smells the familiar scent, he will be curious enough to see you."

"Won't he recognize my scent without the blanket?" She asked confused, playing with the ring on her finger.

Her father brought her left hand, and pressed a gentle kiss, "Your scent is stronger than it was, when you were a little girl. It changed when you were twelve, when you started becoming a young woman, that was why Alec, was more drawn to you than he was before. I knew of your bond with him, from the moment you came to us, he didn't keep his eyes off you no matter where you were. He didn't understand the bond until you were twelve, that was when he came to me, and explained how he was feeling differently towards you. Finding your mate can be a very scary thing, especially after not meeting them for most your immortal life, and setting yourself up to never finding them." He wiped a tear, that was escaping his daughters eyes. "That was why I told him to wait until you were fourteen, because I knew you'd be ready to welcome him, the way he hoped you would."

"He told me that he almost left a couple of times, but his sister was able to tell him to just wait," Hermione stood back up, and walked to where she had a box full of antique coins, and brought it to her father, "Maybe when I come back, we could frame all the coins, that you gave me growing up."

He laughed as he took the box, and looked inside at the familiar coins, "You mean the coins, which you stole from my night table, every time you come to my room."

She giggled along with her father, as she put her hands up in surrendering, "You're the one who made sure to have a different coin on your night table, every time. It's not my fault that shiny things catch my attention, and you never stopped me."

"You started taking my coins, when you were four years old, and I thought it was so amusing how you looked to see if I wasn't paying attention before you put it in your pocket. As you got older, you just stopped trying to be secretive, but I got use to your taking the coins so I just kept putting a new one on my night table." He placed the box of coins onto her night table, and noticed some bridal magazines, "We haven't had a wedding in so long, when you return we'll start the preparations."

"Alec, he keeps bringing me back wedding magazines, books, and even pictures of cakes he thinks I would like." The Damphire smiled, as she watched her father gaze through them, "So can a vampire have more than one mate, daddy?"

"You don't think your mate is cheating, do you?" Marcus asked, looking at his daughter, as he set the magazine back down.

"No, just curious because I noticed how you look at Jane, whenever she enters the room," She answered sitting beside him on the bed.

"Yes, it is very rare for it to happen, but sometimes vampires could have more than one mate," He answered standing back to his feet, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to make sure Demetri, and Alec, are ready to leave in the next hour." He kissed his daughters temple, before leaving the room at vampire speed.

"You do realize your room is the size of our dorm put together," Harry was leaning against the doorway, with his new leather jacket, and a backpack over his shoulder, "So are we doing this things?"

"So if it isn't Harry Potter, boy who came back from the dead, and is once again willing to put his life in danger," The young woman teased, as she walked to where her friend was, and linked her arms through his leaving her bag on the bed.

"Mione, won't you be needing your stuff?" The wizard asked, as the two made there way to the throne room, where everyone was to be meeting.

When they got there, Alec, was already standing with Luna, and Demetri, with his mates bag in hand. He smiled as the two walked in the room, "You two finally ready?"

"Okay, how did he get your bag so fast, and why aren't you carrying it yourself?" Harry asked, trying to calculate the possibilities in his head. He than noticed Demetri, holding Luna's own bag, and frowned, "Well that's just not-"

"Alec, and Demetri, were both raised in a time, where being gentlemen meant everything. They were raised to be perfect gentlemen, Alec, because of Aro mostly. Demetri, he came that way," Hermione smiled at the Greece vampire, who was laughing softly at her explanation. "I could hold your bag for you, if you'd like."

"That's alright, I got it," Harry waved his wand over his bag, causing it to shrink, before sticking it in his pocket.

Luna without any warning, walked over to Felix, and kissed him, "Perhaps you'll have something to confess, when I return." She rejoined the surprised group, with a little smile on her face.

Xeno glanced at the vampire, as he went to hug his daughter, "You really are trying to kill me, aren't you love?"

"I love you father," She kissed his cheek, before she lead the group out of the fortress.

Alec smiled as his mate wrapped her arm round his waist, as they headed towards a large empty field, "So Luna, you'll ride on my back, and Harry, you'll ride on Demetri's, and that way we'd be at the airport in an hour. Heidi already made the arrangements with the private jet."

"What about Mione?" Harry asked, wondering why she wasn't getting a lift.

"I can keep up," Hermione answered, before taking off at vampire speed.

"She's been holding back, hasn't she?" Harry asked, as he held onto his escort.

"There is a lot you don't know about the, Princess," Demetri commented, before following Alec, and Luna.

-A Week Later-

"Are you sure this is the place?" Hermione asked her mate, as she gazed up at the large modern house, with equally large windows.

"Carlisle Cullen, yes this is the address we have for him," Alec answered, taking his mates, and Luna's hand. "Aro said that they could put us up, for a couple of nights at least."

There was a bronze haired vampire standing on the porch, staring at the five newcomers curiously, "We have done nothing wrong, why would the Volturi be here?"

"Is that anyway to talk to guests?" Demetri asked, in a bored tone.

"It's alright Edward," Another vampire called, as he approached the group, he tilted his head towards Hermione, "You must be, Princess Hermione," he looked at the other four, and smiled politely, "Please come in, my family will be-"

Hermione hissed, as she held the side of her head, "I really hate when people try get inside my head," she turned her eyes to the bronze haired vampire, who her own mate was already crouching in front of, "Alec, daddy wouldn't want us to start a fight, I am alright."

"Don't bother trying to get into our heads either," Luna warned, as she linked her arm through Harry's, as they walked into the house, "You have a lovely home, Mr. Cullen."

The blonde vampire placed his hand on the younger, as he looked at Hermione, "Sorry about that, he can't help it sometimes. I am Carlisle Cullen, and this is my son Edward, the others are off hunting, and won't be back for another four hours."

"I won't say anything about you lying to me, to my father or uncle," Hermione said, glaring at Edward, "Unless that is what you tell everyone, when you get caught snooping in there heads." She looked at Carlisle, who offered her his arm, "He is able to control it, all vampires are able to control, whatever gifts they have. Except perhaps your seer, and her mate the empath, that is hard to turn off, and on."

"How did you know about my sister, and brother?" Edward asked, glaring at the group, who were now sitting in the living room.

"We have a list of all the vampires, and there special abilities, your leader has been making sure to keep his coven's pages updated with the Department of Ministry, " Hermione looked hard at the bronze haired man, before looking at Carlisle, "His mate is a human?"

Demetri sat up a little straighter, as he looked at Edward, "Aro, won't be to happy about that, does she know about us having to be kept secret?"

"She found out on her own, no law has been broken," Carlisle answered for his son, as he looked at Hermione, "So you are the Volturi Princess, which they have taken under there care. Aro, has wrote so much about you through the years. You really did make a difference, with the magical community, bringing them to an equal alliance, with the Volturi."

"The two worlds understand, that to keep balance within the communities, they should allow one another to do what they have been doing since the beginning of each of there worlds began," She looked at her mate, who was standing by the window, noticing that he was standing tensely, "After realizing that the two have there own way of doing things, and then later understanding that they would work better together, if they both allowed one another to continue running there own worlds while still working together. The Volturi make sure to keep record of the vampires, and make sure they don't do anything, that will cause attention. While the Department of Ministry's do the same with magical being, making sure everyone stays within the law. That way it keeps both worlds secrets, from the mortals, or how the wizarding world refers to none magic humans, muggles."

"And you have your foot in both worlds? How convenient is that?" Edward asked distastefully.

Alec had Edward pinned to the wall, taking Harry, and Luna by surprise. "You are to show some respect towards the princess, if it wasn't for her you'd be burning by now, for even considering allowing the human to continue seeing you," He was gently pushed a side, as Demetri, took his position.

Demetri looked at the mind reader, and smirked at him, "Perhaps I should go find that little hu-"

"Demetri, Alec, that is enough!" Hermione ordered, glaring at her two companions, "Just because he is acting like an idiot, doesn't mean you should show Carlisle, that disrespect in his home."

"Sorry Princess," Demetri straightened up the younger vampire, before sitting back down next to Harry. He looked at Carlisle, "I am sorry, Carlisle."

Alec also looked to the blonde vampire, and tilted his head, "Yes, I am sorry for my behavior, it won't happen again."

"It's not a problem, my son shouldn't had acted out of line," Carlisle glared at his son, as he leaned back in his armchair, "He does not know about the magical world, and the Volturi's past history. I read a Daily Prophet, when I was in Europe renewing my license, to hold my medical license. Volturi, and The Magical World, unites after the Volturi helped defeat that dark wizard, it was really an impressive development."

"It does come in handy, having a food in both worlds," She eyed Edward, as she looked at her host, "Aro, said you might be able to give me some advice, regarding my real father. All I know is he was a Nomad, and know that you are friends with a couple, who might potentially be my father."

"I recognize your scent, but the last time I saw him, was twenty years ago in England," Carlisle answered, running up the stairs in vampire speed, and returning just as fast with a framed picture. "This is a picture of him, from the 1920's, I don't have a recent one since he doesn't like people to much. You could have it."

Hermione caught her breath, as she looked at the black, and white photo of an outdoors man, "Thank you."

-The Day After-

Hermione hurried down the stairs, when she heard a commotion downstairs, and found the Cullen family, with the human girl she had met the day before. She hurried to where her mate was standing, just as intense as the other day, "Alec, what is going on?"

"A nomad interrupted there ball game, and got a scent of the human," Alec answered, holding his mate close, "He is coming after her now, and they're trying to think of ways to protect her, they want to leave town with her."

"You can not take her from her family," Hermione was in the middle of the group, with her arms around the human, she looked at her tracker, "Demetri, why don't you go to Bella's house, if you come across any threatening vampire trying to get into her home, kill them on the spot." She looked at where Harry was standing beside the group, "Harry go with him, so you could burn the remains, and if anyone sees just obliviate there memories."

"Alright Mione," Demetri lifted the wizard onto his back, and took off towards the house, already having Bella's scent memorized.

"How will he know where I live?" Bella asked from Edwards side.

"He's a tracker, far better, than any I ever come across," Carlisle answered, wrapping his arms around his mate, "I don't know what would have happened, if you guys weren't here."

Edward was inhaling his mates scent, probably try to reassure himself, that she was out of harms way, "I apologize for my behavior yesterday, and thank you Princess."

"You're welcome Edward," She looked outside, as her mate held her close, "Alec, go find the other one one."

"Won't she be with her mate?" The pixie like vampire asked, looking at her guest.

Hermione watched as her mate ran outside, "She is with her mate, the third member is circling the house."

Alec returned with the third member, who didn't try to fight against him, "He wanted to talk to Carlisle."

"It was Jame's, and Victoria, they wanted it to look like I was the coven leader," The dark skinned vampire explained, after he was shoved into a chair, "I don't want to cause any harm to your family."

"We are killing your companions as we speak," Alec watched as the different emotions played across the younger vampires face, "What do you say about that?"

"I care not for them," The nomadic vampire admitted.

Demetri, and Harry, returned to the house, and looked at the new addition, "I remember you, you tried to join the Volturi, after leaving the Romanian's."

"Yes, but the kings did not trust me, and threw me out," Laurent looked towards Hermione, who was exchanging looks with Edward, "Watch yourself, or your mate might get jealous."

"My mate knows where my heart rests," Hermione answered, kissing her mates cheek. She smiled at Edward, who she had been conversing with through there minds, before back at Laurent, "Your loyalties only lie with those of power, therefore since James lost the power, upon his death you are now considering trying to get on my good side. Hoping that I can get you on good terms with my father, and uncles." She looked at where the large Emmett, and Jasper, were now standing, "You have my permission to kill him."

Luna smiled as she linked her arm through her cousins, ignoring as Laurent screamed as he was carried out of the house. "I think we should go to the airport, so we could take the jet to England."

"Wait, you're just leaving like that?" Bella asked surprised, "What about James, and Victoria?"

"They have been dealt with," Demetri assured, as he shook hands with Edward, and Carlisle.

"We killed them, and there remains," Harry explained, more gently.

"Call me if there is a future problem," Hermione offered, she looked at Edward, "When do you plan on turning her?"

"After I graduate," Bella answered, looking put out with the answer.

"Make sure she is turned, and here is a form to register, so you could get dragon blood mailed to you. It's what some of the guards now drink, keeps from wanting to drain every human around," She placed the form in Jasper's hand, "It really will make it easier with bloodlust."

"Thank you ma'am," Jasper tucked the form in his pocket, "How do I deliver the form?"

"It should disappear as soon as you seal it, make sure to apply the names of all, who are going to need the blood. Dragon blood withholds hunger, and thirst for up to two weeks," Hermione explained, hugging the Empath, suddenly feeling hopeful.

After a few more minutes of saying goodbye, the five took off towards the airport, and headed for there next destination.

To be continued...
