I'm back! So sorry guys, we think my computer is fixed now. Like I promised myself I am going to make extra long chapters to make it up to you guys. That and I have school so I won't have as much time because I have an advanced math class that I hate and tons of homework. That and my language teacher told us to but a 1 and a half inch binder for notes. My hands hurt just thinking about it. Thanks for being patient and for the reviews. You guys (and girls) make me feel so special.

Bella's POV

We walked to Dumbledore's office together. The Cullens, Potter, Weasley, and Granger were already in there. Dumbledore's eyes flickered to Draco for a moment. I could have killed him when he said "Ms. Riddle I believe I asked for you to come alone." I was furious but I kept a calm voice when I replied. "No, you asked me to come. Not that I couldn't bring a friend." I smirked before continuing "Besides, Uncle and Father's orders." I laughed because he paled more than the vampires across the room from me.

He recovered quickly and said "I hope you have changed your mind" "Nope" He looked disappointed. The Cullens looked shocked that anyone would talk to him like that. "What do you think of the Cullens?"

"Vampires, who'd have thought. What are you gonna get next to protect this school from me?" "Ms. Riddle you know just as well as I do that they are here to protect you and Mr. Potter." "I don't need protection, although you and Potter may before I get my hands on you. My parents would be so proud."

The Cullens looked shocked that I would say this to him. "Ms. Riddle you don't want to do this." "Sure I don't" I muttered sarcastically. Carlisle cleared his throat and said "Let me introduce myself I am –" I cut him off and said "Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Edward. Yes I know." He looked shocked. Dumbledore started talking again. "I hope the Cullens have influenced your choice." "Nope" Carlisle spoke again. "Professor we have only met Ms. Riddle now. How would we have an influence on someone we just met?"

Dumbledore looked at me and nodded. "Fine" I said rudely and turned back into Bella Swan. They gasped. Edward appeared in front of me and moved his hand to caress my cheek. Mine and Draco's hands moved to slap his away.
