Previously on Secrets: "Wanna scare Edward and see how I really look?" I asked Rose. I smiled when she nodded and we walked down the dirt path that leads to Charlie's house.

Let me know what you think of the possible pen name change and of what you thought of the last chapter. Any editing hints are accepted because I am a new person to the "art" of writing!

Rose and I walked side by side down the dirt path heading towards Charlie's house. When I had dueled Wormtail, I had made sure that I went away from the house or dirt path so no Muggles could stumble down the path and see the bright flashing lights. I looked around and made sure nobody was around before saying,
"So, Rose ready to see how I actually look?"
"Yeah, you got me excited to see." she replied with genuine excitement.
"OK, hang on. My face will scrunch up for a sec because I have to concentrate." I warned. I scrunched up my nose and felt my features start to change. My hair grew to waist length and my eyes changed to their green color. I changed my hair color to it's normal brown with red highlights and laughed as I saw my true reflection in a small hole I filled with water. Rose seemed amazed at the way I handled the situation, the way I looked, and my accent. The more I realised I could act however I wanted. My real birthday was actually September 18th which was actually in three days. I thought about what Edward might get me, if I live through whatever lies ahead and if he doesn't completely hate me after this. I felt my eyes water up and Rose looked over at me. "What is it Bella? You look upset." she inquired
"Do you think Edward will absolutely hate me after this? He fell in love with someone that I am only part of. The real me is from Britain and from a magical background. He fell in love with a pale girl from Arizona. It's not who I am." By then, tears were falling down my face and I turned away ashamed of that fact.
"Bella, I can vouch that no matter what Edward will love you. He used to be someone who would wallow in his room and despair that he hadn't found anyone yet. He was jealous of Alice and Jasper, along with Emmett and myself. He found you and for a little while he may feel betrayed by you but after you explain why you couldn't tell him and stuff like that you will work everything out and will be our favorite couple. I was jealous for the longest time of the fact that Edward would romance you and Emmett never does stuff like that. I mean, yes I love Emmett but everybody likes stuff like that, you know?"
"Trust me, I know." I answered feeling better

Rose and I continued down the small amount of the path that was left and soon Charlie's house was visible and I could see Edward walking out of the door. I swayed on the spot and fell. My eyes started slipping closed and I could fell that I was going to pass out. The strain of fighting so many people and then Wormtail. Add in worrying about how Edward and Alice would feel, I'm beat. I fell to the ground and my eyes finally slipped closed.

Edward POV

I did what Bella asked and Obliviated Charlie. I saw she and Rose walking closer to us and I saw Bella's thoughts were starting to get murky, as if she were going to pass out. I saw here appearance had changed and she looked really pretty. I watched as she fell to the ground and I saw Rose carefully grab her without injuring her. I rushed up to Rose and checked Bella's vital signs. Everything was ok, she just needed sleep I guess. She probably hasn't had to do anything like that for awhile. She was in a dreary town. I took her from Rose's arms and laid her in my lap. After a moment I stood up and we rushed back to where everybody was and they were shocked at Bella's limp form. A teenager about Bella's age that looked similar to her walked up to me and asked,
"Is she dead? I want the truth. Is my sister dead?"
"No, she dueled with a guy named Wormtail then talked to my sister. They walked to where I was and Bella had changed her appearance. They walked out of the woods and she just passed out. She's probably just tired, OK-" I trailed off not knowing his name.
"-Harry." he finished.

He looked like a Harry. He had ink like jet black hair. His eyes were a spectacular shade of green, quite like how Carlisle had shown me that my eyes had looked before my change. He had round glasses and a lightning scar on his forehead. You could tell by looking at him that he definitely cared immensely about Bella, his sister, and that he carried a large weight on his shoulders. I shook his hand and he flinched a small amount because of the cold touch. I smiled in apology because talking to or even seeing Bella made me feel more human and I continually would forget that I was indeed a blood-sucking vampire. Alice bounded up to me, faced everybody and said,
"OK, my name is Alice. I think it would be best since we all are going to be working together that we share our names. My name, of course, is Alice. These are my brothers, Edward and Emmett. My sister, Rosalie, my husband, Jasper. These are my parents Esme and Carlisle. Yes we are vampires but probably not in the way you think. We drink animal blood from animals overpopulating areas and we try to blend in with humans. Carlisle is a doctor at the nearby hospital and everyone except for Esme goes to school. Esme loves to design so she usually designs add-ons to our houses and we help build them at night. We cannot sleep and sparkle in the sun. Fire is one of the only ways to harm us. I know, information overload, but I thought you should know." she concluded.
"My name is Harry Potter and-" We heard a pop and saw a flustered witch come spinning at us. "My name is Hermione Granger." she said. I shook her hand and she quietly whispered, "Vampire. What is Harry doing here? I thought he was bringing back Bella."
"I am Hermione. We tested Bella to see how good her reflexes were considering she probably hasn't done much magic or trained lately. So, we had the fifteen of us Apparate and surprise her. She stunned and disarmed us all. Yes, they are vampires. They are different though, 'Mione. They drink animal bl-"
"Yes, I know Harry. I've read books on them. They drink animal blood and sparkle in the sun. They are cold and usually travel in small groups. I'm not stupid." she defended. She blushed as she realised something and Bella shifted in her state.

Bella POV

I passed out and when I opened my eyes I was a train crossroads. I called out, "Hello?" not expecting a response.
"Bella?" I heard a familiar voice call out.
"Mom? Dad?" I inquired. I turned my head and saw them walk out of some mist that was in front of me. I shook my head in disbelief. My parents are dead but here I am standing next to real living breathing people. I then remembered that I had passed out and sighed a breath of relief. This was all just a dream of some sort.
"No, it isn't dear. This is real. We needed you here in order to make sure you learned everything you need. We had you pass out and eventually you would come here." my dad, James, explained. I nodded my head and we started walking. We walked in silence and soon the silence became deafening. I looked over and asked,
"Where are we going? We've been walking for awhile."
"Hogwarts. We should be there soon. Close your eyes this might make you nauseous." I nodded and immediately thought of Apparating. When I felt them shift as if they were going to spin I knew we were going to Apparate. I made sure to close my eyes and imagined Hogwarts in my mind.

The large sprawling grounds dotted in wild flowers and even the occasional burned grass from where students would practice magic. You could see the large towers and the view from them was gorgeous. I thought about the Black Lake and how although it supposedly hosts many Dark creatures the top of it is gorgeous. You can almost see towards the bottom and it is always clear. I opened my eyes when I felt the suffocating, pressuring force lift from what seemed like my entire body. I caught my breath and looked up to Hogwarts. Looking at what used to be my home, I felt a twinge of nostalgia at all of the times I got into trouble for silly reasons and silly things.

I heard the castle doors open and heard a little girls voice call out,
"Grandma, is tat you? When will Mommy Bella get here?"
