3 months passed until Hogwarts was ready to be attended again, but Bella Potter soon-to-be-Malfoy was as happy as can be. She was getting married after her last year to her true love and there was no longer a death threat hanging over her head.
Draco was officially disowned by his parents, but he didn't care. He just wanted to be with Bella. Harry and Ginny got back together and their relationship was in full bloom. Ron and Hermione were also in a relationship, albeit it was rockier than the others. Ron still needed to learn what to and not to say to his girlfriend. Fred was happily dating Katie Bell, and George was with Angelina Johnson.
The 1st of September finally came. Bella, Draco, Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron would all be going back to Hogwarts and they couldn't be happier about it. They had done all their shopping the week before, so they flooed to the Ministry of Magic and proceeded to apparate to King's Cross Station with their belongings.
"I can't believe we're going back" Ron kept saying to the point all of his friends and sister told him to shut up.
"We know you're excited, but we still can't forget the ones that were lost," Bella said in a solemn voice, as Draco wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"We know, but going back to Hogwarts is where they live on in heart and memory," Hermione said smartly and everyone nodded.
The group walked through the barrier, and after saying goodbye to Mrs. Weasley, walked onto the train. They were about to sit in a compartment when Bella felt a cold chill. She gasped as someone tackled Draco and held him by the throat.
"EDWARD! LET GO OF DRACO!" Bella ordered her ex, but he refused to listen.
"Reducto!" Bella heard Hermione yell and it sent Edward flying backwards.
"Why did you do that Love?" Edweirdo asked.
"Edward, I am not your Love. I am getting married to Draco and you almost killed him. Get away from me and my family," Bella screamed and the rest of the Cullen children arrived.
"Bella!" Alice screamed and ran to hug her.
"Stay away from me," Bella whispered in a deadly calm voice.
"But Bella, I'm your best friend," Alice complained.
"No, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny are my best friends. Draco is my fiancé and I never want to see any of you again," Bella said as she stepped into the compartment with Draco and her friends close behind her.
Bella sat against the window with Draco's arms wrapped around her. Edward growled.
"Leave my sister alone. She is happy and you were nothing but a controlling, obsessive jerk. Stay away from her or face our wraths," Harry threatened and they all left.
Bella cried and Draco comforted her. They all had no idea why the Cullens were there, but Bella wanted nothing more to do with them.
Arriving at Hogwarts, they all took their place at the Gryffindor Table and waited for the ceremony to begin.
"Now, as there are still loose Death Eaters out there, I have called upon a friend of Dumbledore's to help guard the castle. They are the Cullens," Everyone at the Gryffindor Table booed at Headmistress McGonagall's announcement because they all knew of one of them trying to kill Draco.
"Silence. They are vegetarian vampires and will not attack you. They now have to be sorted," she finished as the Cullens entered the room.
Deputy Headmaster Filius Flitwick rolled open a scroll and began to read.
"Edward Cullen."
He stepped forward and the Sorting Hat was put on his head.
"Gryffindor!" the Hat yelled and Bella let out a sob, as she leaned in closer to Draco and Edward sat at the end of the Table.
"Alice Cullen," said Flitwick.
"Ravenclaw," cried the Hat, as she bounced to the table and sat too close to Luna, for Bella's liking.
"Emmett Cullen."
"Gryffindor," said the Hat, and Emmett sat beside Edward.
"Jasper Hale."
"Ravenclaw," he went and sat next to his mate.
"Rosalie Hale."
"Gryffindor," she sat next to her mate. (A.N: She may fit better in Slytherin, but I wanted her to be with her mate)
The ceremony proceeded with the sorting of the first years and the school rules being explained for the firsties and those who always seemed to forget them and break the rules (mainly Bella and company).
"I would now like to invite our Head girl, Bella Potter and Head Boy, Draco Malfoy to share a few words," said the headmistress.
Bella was in shock. She had not known that she was going to be head girl, but she knew her mother would be proud of her.
Draco was also shocked. He was not expecting to be head boy, but he walked up with Bella and they stood at the front.
"This is very awkward," Draco said, which inhibited laughter from the Gryffindor Table before he continued, "it is great to be back at Hogwarts surrounded by friends and classmates of all years and ages. 3 months ago, lives changed drastically with the fall of Lord Voldemort, it caused the death of many that we all knew and loved, but they wouldn't want us dwelling on that. They would want us to move forward with our lives and to remember them as they were not how they died. Now, my lovely fiancée will share a few words."
Draco's last words caused wolf-whistles to emerge from the Gryffindor Table and applause from the Head Table as well.
Bella then stood to the microphone and said, "Welcome back to Hogwarts, or for you firsties, welcome to Hogwarts. Many of you helped with the reconstruction of Hogwarts and on behalf on everyone, students and staff, we wanted to say thank you. What Draco said is true, life is different now with Voldemort gone, but he took many a good person with him. Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks Lupin, Colin Creevey, Lavender Brown, and many more. But Sirius Black, mine and Harry's best friend and Harry's godfather once said 'the ones that love us never truly leave us. You can always find them in here.' My parents live in my heart with me, and will forever and ever, as will all those who died at the Battle of Hogwarts."
The entire Hall clapped, as Draco and Bella went to sit beside their friends.
"Now, with those wise words from our head girl and boy, I ask you to please enjoy our marvellous feast," Headmistress McGonagall said and everyone dug into a fantastic meal that was thrown together by the house elves that worked in the kitchens.
The entire time, Edward would keep looking back at Bella and see her with her friends and fiancé and would get angrier and angrier at them.
After the desert was served, the Headmistress stood up again.
"I would like for the Cullens, Bella, Draco, Harry, Ron, and Hermione to stay here for further instruction."
The houses were escorted to their dormitories by the prefects and the only ones in the Hall were the 8 Gryffindors, 2 Ravenclaws and the staff.
"Bella, Draco, as Head girl and Boy, you will be escorting the Cullens to their House dormitories. I know of your history Isabella, but it is part of your responsibility. Harry, Hermione, and Ron, you three are going to be Gryffindors 8th year prefects and will supervise the work of all the other prefects of your house," she said happily.
Hermione was proud to be a prefect and happy that Bella was Head Girl with Draco.
"Before you leave, Mr. Malfoy, you and Ms. Potter are to meet me back ere at the Hall so I may take you to the Head's Common Room. You will have your own password, that you may come up with, and only people you invite will be allowed into the room," McGonagall said. Draco and Bella nodded.
"Cullens, let's go," Draco said and he, and Bella led the way, as Harry, Hermione, and Ron went back to their House dormitory.
The Cullens followed in silence as Bella and Draco led their way through the hallways to the Ravenclaw Tower. When they arrived, Bella knocked and Luna opened the door.
"Bella, I am so happy to see you. I see Peeves has left you alone for the moment," she said in her dreamy voice that frightened the Cullens.
"It's good to see you too Luna, I'm sorry about your father. He was a good man," Bella said empathetically, knowing what it was like to lose a father.
"Thanks Bella. You too are perfect for each other. I knew you would get together. Are these our new arrivals?" she asked.
"Observant as always Luna. Yes this is Jasper and Alice," Draco said before moving out of the way, so the Cullens could walk into the Common Room.
"Make sure they don't sneak out, Luna, and you will definitely be welcomed to the Head's Common Room, when Draco and I get settled down," Bella said and Luna hugged her.
"Thanks, but now I must sleep or the Nargles will catch me off-guard and steal all my stuff, Luna said, closing the portal, leaving Draco and Bella chuckling.
They then made their way up to Gryffindor Tower and Bella saw the Fat Lady wearing black.
"Bella Potter, what a pleasure to see you alive and well," she said.
"Why are you wearing black?" Draco asked.
"It is to remember Lavender and Colin," she said tearfully and waited for a password.
Bella turned to the Cullens and said, "your password is Dumbledore."
She turned around and said, "Dumbledore."
The portrait sung open and the five students walked in.
Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie were surprised to see that the walls were painted a scarlet colour and there were plaques with the names: Colin Creevey, Lavender Brown, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks Lupin on the walls. They realized they must be memorial plaques.
"Anyone want to say goodnight before Draco and I leave?" Bella yelled and almost the entire house ran down to greet the girl-who-lived.
Edward was surprised that Bella was not shy and talked to everyone she saw.
"Night, Harry, Hermione, Ron. Try not to break too many rules while I'm gone," Bella said and everyone laughed, except the Cullens.
Bella and Draco left the Common Room and walked to the Great Hall, where they were escorted to a portrait of an eagle and a cheetah.
"You may pick your own password, and meet me tomorrow in my office so we can go over additional rules you must follow as heads," McGonagall said, with a twinkle in her eye.
Bella and Draco stood pondering for few minutes before they decided on a password.
"The password should be love eternal," Draco said and Bella looked towards him.
"I love it Draco," she whispered.
The portrait opened and the gasped as they saw a beautiful Common Room made up entirely of scarlets and golds. They each claimed their own room and unpacked the trunk that was already there.
Bella fell asleep with sweet dream, but she wondered how to keep Edward and the other Cullens away from her and her family.
