Once Hermione was outside and saw the imprints and the rest of the Cullen's waiting out on the grass for her she smiled and took off running leaving everyone else to follow her. As soon as she was close enough she threw herself into Carlisle's arms and then hid her smirk when she heard both Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall gasp at what she did. Once she pulled back from Carlisle she grinned. "I have missed you Carlisle."
Carlisle smiled and pressed a kiss to Hermione's head before he said "You saw me not to long ago Hermione but I have missed you as well. How are you doing? Is everything alright?"
Hermione sighed and shook her head. "Not really. I kind of threw Malfoy across the Great Hall after he pissed me off."
Carlisle's eyes widened in shock and then he pulled Hermione back into his arms. "I'm sorry that he's already given you a hard time love. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Hermione smiled slightly and shook her head again. "Not right now Carlisle but that may change. I am going to talk to Albus about letting me go to Paris this weekend. I need some more robes for the dances here and then I need one for the party that I know you got suckered into holding in a three weeks' time."
Carlisle nodded. "I thought it would be nice to have a ball for your birthday. Also I think it is about time for everyone just to know exactly who and what you are love. It's time to make people think and it's time for you to do what is needed."
Hermione sighed and then grinned. "Did you let Aro know about the party? And if so are he, Caius, and Marcus coming along with Jane, Alec, Felix, and Demetri?"
Carlisle chuckled. "Aro said they will all be here. He still can't believe what you did but because you did it he respects you even more. If I'm not mistaken he wants Felix and Demetri to check up on your training. He told me to tell you that he can't have his adoptive daughter getting hurt by the likes of the Death Eating scum as he called them."
Hermione threw her head back and laughed as Albus asked "Carlisle are you talking about Aro from the Volturi?"
Carlisle nodded. "That is exactly who I am talking about Albus. Hermione here has them all around her little finger and has for the last two years. Aro wasn't happy about the fact that I was letting her come back here since there are men after her but he agreed that as long as we came and he could send a couple of his guard that he would not put up too much of a fight on it."
Severus' eyes widened at that and he demanded "Not only is Miss Granger friends with vampires but she is friends with Vampire royalty?"
Carlisle nodded again. "Yes, she is. I don't think that there isn't anything Aro, Marcus, or Caius wouldn't do for it. Merlin knows that they offered to help her and the Slayer's track down the vampire that was responsible for her father's death. Once Hermione found him before she killed him she got all the information out of him that was needed. It turned out that the vampire responsible for the death of Hermione's father was one of Voldemort's henchmen."
Hermione growled low in her throat. "Can we get to the training please? I need to burn off some energy."
Angel who had been listening to everyone talk grinned and said "Why don't you show your three Professor's some of your moves that you use to warm up before we start Mia?"
Hermione nodded and then after she flashed a grin at Severus, Minerva, and Albus she took off running and a second later she did a front flip in the air. Once she landed on her feet she propelled herself back into the air and did two back flips only to land on her feet once more. She then started stretching and doing different kicks as she warmed up. She knew that she couldn't wait to burn some of the anger she was feeling off of her. After doing nothing but flips, jumps, kicks, and stretches for twenty minutes she turned back to the group who was all watching her with different looks on their faces and smirked. "I want Spike!"
Angel laughed while Spike groaned as he said "How did I know she was going to pick me? Oh well it's time for me to get my arse handed to me by my little spitfire."
Angel laughed again and then smiled when he saw the look on Harry's, Ginny's, Albus', Minerva's, and Severus' face. "You don't need to worry about Mia. Believe me she knows how to handle her own. Just watch her and you will see what I mean."
Albus nodded. "I know that she can fight Angel but that doesn't help to ease the worrying."
Esme smiled and said "Albus I worry every time I see Hermione train. I know that it is her way to deal with things but it doesn't make it any easier. You should see when she trains with Emmett."
Emmett grinned at that. "I'll go after Spike does."
Rosalie rolled her eyes but smirked as she watched the fight between Hermione and Spike. She heard Minerva gasp and she grinned when she saw that Spike had Hermione up in the air by her throat. As she watched she saw Hermione wrap her legs around Spike's neck and then shift to where she was hanging upside down before she used the momentum that she had to fling spike over her even as she was still with her feet in the air. Her smirk grew when Hermione did two backward flips and landed on Spike's chest with a stake at his throat. She turned back towards the three Professor's and two students with a raised eyebrow. "So what did you think?"
Severus was wide eyed as he turned to look at the blonde vampire that asked the question. "How long has Miss Granger been able to fight like this?"
Buffy laughed and said "She's been a Slayer for a couple of years now. She was a very quick study and not only that but she brings her own technique into everything she is taught. As I told her earlier at supper besides Faith and me she is the best Slayer we have. Unlike some of the girls that are Slayer's Hermione doesn't fight like she is afraid to die. More than once I have encountered her taunting a vampire as she fights them."
Albus shook his head and then laughed when he saw that Emmett went flying through the air. "It is very easy to see that Miss Granger can take care of herself."
Paul smirked and nodded. "That's my girl alright. The first time I tried to help her she about took my head off. She may be a girl but she is stronger than a lot of boys I know."
Angel nodded and smirked. "Come along Paul, Sam, Edward, and Jasper. I want to see if our girl can defend herself still five to one."
Leah laughed at the look on everyone's faces. "Oh come on guys you can't be scared of Mia."
Sam snorted and looked at Leah with a raised eyebrow. "If she beats me you owe me a massage later."
Leah huffed but nodded. "Don't worry Sam."
Sam smiled softly and ignored Emily's gasp as he walked towards where Hermione was standing over Emmett. He knew that he had to end it soon with Emily especially since he finally figured out that she wasn't his true imprint like he thought she was. As he got closer to Hermione he smiled. "You ready Mia?"
Hermione turned her head and then grinned when she saw Angel, Edward, Jasper, Paul, and Sam. "I'm ready Sam. But before we start do I need to knock sense into you or have you finally saw what I have been trying to tell you for a while now?"
Sam shook his head. "I finally saw what you have been saying. However don't take it easy on me. We want to give your Professor's and your friends a show."
Hermione smirked and then yelled "Buffy, Faith, Leah, and Rosalie get your arses over here and help the men. I want a challenge not something that is going to be easy."
Buffy, Faith, Leah, and Rosalie all laughed and then joined the five men in circling Hermione as everyone else watched. Shortly though all four girls were thrown into the air by Hermione even as she attacked both Angel and Jasper at the same.

Hermione was having fun as she sent Faith, Rosalie, Buffy, and Leah flying through the air as she landed a kick to both Jasper's and Angel's chest. Once she had those six away from her she turned to Edward, Paul, and Sam even as she lifted a hand and waved it to send Angel away from her again. With narrowed eyes she dove at Sam and once she had him on the ground she smirked as she leaned down and kissed his cheek right before she jumped back up and did a back flip and landed on Edward's back. She chuckled as she wrapped her legs around his waist and flung herself backwards causing Edward to fly back also. Once she unwound her legs from Edward's waist she jumped in the air and landed on Paul's shoulders. She smirked again as she bent forward and kissed Paul before twisting in the air off of his shoulders. She landed a kick to his chest even as she was falling towards the ground after the punch to her side and then front flipped twice before she finally stopped and looked around. "That was fun."
Angel stood up and shook his head. "You have been practicing Mia. You did good tonight. Do you want to work on your wandless?"
Hermione smirked as she lifted her hands and closed her eyes. Her eyes opened back up when she felt the wind blowing. "I have all of my elements under control Angel. I got my inheritance a little early because of my use of a time turner."
Angel nodded. "We will still need to work on those but you honestly look beat. You also look like you are in pain."
Hermione sighed and then grimaced. "My ribs are hurting some."
Paul's eyes widened and he hurriedly said "I didn't mean to hit you that hard Mia."
Hermione shook her head. "It's not from you Paul. They are still smarting from the fight I had last night with a couple of vamps."
Carlisle's eyes narrowed as he walked forward followed by Esme, Alice, Albus, Severus, Gunn, Fred, Minerva, Harry, Ginny, Embry, Quil, Seth, Jake, Jared, Collin, Brady, Connor, Wesley, Spike, Willow, Tara, Xander, Dawn, and a couple of the imprints. "Why didn't you tell us you were in a fight last night with vamps young lady?"
Hermione sighed. "Because I didn't want you guys to worry. A couple showed up at my house last night to try to take me out. It didn't do them any good because now they are dead but they landed some good hits before I could kill them. I thought I healed my ribs well enough and then wrapped them."
Severus frowned and stepped forward with his wand out. He quickly cast a spell and a second later the results were showing in front of everyone. "She still has one cracked rib but it should heal on its own. I would say though that for now she needs to watch what she does. By tomorrow it should be healed completely."
Carlisle nodded and said sternly "You will let Paul, Sam, Edward, Jasper, Emmett, and Jared take care of you tonight and tomorrow. I will then check you over tomorrow when I come and see Madam Pomfrey at lunch time. If I see that you are better tomorrow then you and I will train tomorrow night."
Hermione sighed again but nodded. "Fine you win. I would like nothing more than another shower and then my bed. I haven't been sleeping well again and I didn't get any sleep last night. After the vampire incident I had to make sure my mum was protected so I moved her and she now doesn't even know who I am or anything."
Esme sighed and shook her head. "Why didn't you let one of us know Hermione? We would have been there for you."
Hermione shook her head. "I had to do it on my own Esme. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to go shower. I will see everyone later."
Angel, Carlisle, and Sam all watched her walk away and then exchanged looks before nodding and motioning for Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Leah, Paul, Jared, Buffy, Faith, Willow, Dawn, and Rosalie to follow Hermione. Once they were sure that Hermione wouldn't be alone they turned back towards the group.
Angel sighed. "I could feel her magic even when she wasn't using it. For the next couple of days she's going to be close to the edge so all of us need to make sure that she doesn't get too angry so that her and nobody else gets hurt. We will need to keep that blonde albino away from her because if he angers her too badly he will end up dead."
Severus nodded. "I will floo his father and let him know of the situation."
Albus nodded and then looked at Harry and Ginny. "I want you two to make sure Mr. Weasley doesn't anger Miss Granger because if he does he will deserve whatever he gets."
Ginny nodded. "We'll try to keep him in line Headmaster."
Albus nodded and then looked at Minerva. "Make sure that Miss Granger has one of the pack, one of the Slayer's, and one of the vampire's in each one of her classes."
Minerva nodded. "I will make sure that Dawn, Willow, Tara, Paul, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Seth, Jake, and Jared are in all of her classes. I know that Paul is not a student technically but I'm sure we can come up with a way for him to be one."
Alice smirked. "Actually Paul is a student but we haven't told Hermione yet. We wanted her to be surprised tomorrow so we didn't correct her earlier. She has Angel, Wesley, and Buffy in at least three classes so that should help. Would it be possible to get assistants in the other classes that she has? I know that Quil, Embry, and Sam can also calm her down if she should need it as can Gunn and Fred."
Albus nodded. "We will put Sam with Severus, Embry with Filius, Fred with Septima, and Quil with the Bathsheda. I also think we could have Esme teach History of Magic and the History of Muggles. I already have that approved by the Board of Governors. It is actually going to be mandatory for fifth, sixth, and seventh years. We could have Rosalie helping Aurora in Astronomy and then Carlisle will be in the infirmary. I think it best if everyone remains here in order to be close to Miss Granger. Unfortunately though the imprints will still need to reside in Hogsmede. Gunn can actually help Severus with an extra class I am going to have started on dueling and hand to hand combat."
Sam nodded. "That will work out fine. Embry, Quil, and I can stay here during the week and Collin and Brady can stay with the imprints when they are not needed here."
Carlisle nodded. "Do you have rooms that we can use Albus?"
Albus nodded again. "I had some extra rooms made up in case we had to do something like this."
Emily scowled as she looked at Sam. "You are not staying here Sam! You are coming with me. After all Hermione is a big girl and can take care of herself."
Sam shook his head. "I am staying here Emily. In fact you can go back to Washington for all I care. I will not abandon Hermione when she needs me."
Emily's jaw dropped open in shock but before she could say anything Kim said "Come on Emily we need to get back to the house. You will see Sam in a couple of days."
Sam didn't even both saying anything instead he walked back towards the castle with Harry, Ginny, Albus, Severus, Minerva, Embry, Quil, and the others. "Will it be okay if we just room where the others are with Hermione?"
Albus nodded and said "That is fine Sam. Severus will you be fire-calling Lucius right away?"
Severus nodded but didn't say anything. Instead once they were all back in the castle he broke off from Harry, Ginny, Minerva and Albus and walked towards the Dungeon's with some of the others. He gave them a nod when they stopped at the portrait guarding the head dormitory and continued on to the dungeons. He was trying to get what he wanted to say to Lucius right in his head even as he entered his own quarters.
