Okay guys I know Many of you want to flog me over the head with a giant stick for not updating sooner, and yes I know I deserve it. But I had to do some research to make sure I got my facts rights, added to the fact that I'm sick is not a good combination. Where I'm living at the weather is starting to get chilly and I just happened to be one of the unlucky people to get sick.
I really hope you enjoy this chapter.
I know a lot of these things many of you already know but you need to read all of it to catch some of the minor details so you can understand the story later
Oh FYI to anyone who read the first chapter of my other story the next chapter is going to be up tomorrow.
Anyways enough with my comments on with the story,
I do not own Twilight or Harry Potter or anything that pertains to it. It all belongs to Stephanie Meyer and J.k. Rowling
"now before I Begin the story I must have you all promise that you won't over-react. Bella has informed us how...ah...over-protective you are of her...so please remember that these things have already happened and there is nothing you can do" While talking Arthur kept shooting me pointed looks. We all nodded in agreement, we just wanted to hurry up and here the story already. I was tired of all the distraction.
"By the time the twins had turned 11, they had lived lives of neglect and hatred towards them, by their only living relatives. When they turned 11 they got their letters inviting them to study at Hogwarts. After many failed attempts at contacting the twins. Dumbledore finally sent Hagrid, the school's Game Keeper to inform them of who they were. When they arrived at Hogwarts they immediately became best of friends with out son Ron. They excelled at Hogwarts, but none more than Bella. From what I've heard from Ron she was quiet and shy when first meeting. She is what we consider in our world a genius, a prodigy. She was a very quiet girl and preferred to spend her times in a book, of course being friends with Ron and sister to Harry that's next to impossible. She was determined to learn magic to be able to defend herself...some things did happened to her before she came to Hogwarts"
Sensing that we were about to ask the obvious question he spoke up quickly
"It's not my place to speak of it, it's hers. As I was saying before she, Harry, and Ron soon became friends with Hermione. Of course it took fighting a troll to get them to become friends. After that they became inseparable, you couldn't find one without the other three. You have no idea how hard it was on all four of them when Bella had to come here. Their first year would by far be their easiest year compared to all the other, quite sad really considering what they actually went through. You see they started going after the Philosopher stone, its a rare stone that grants immortality. They found out that Voldemort was somehow going after it. they went through a three-headed dog, A giant killer chess match and deadly flying keys to finally reach the Philosopher Stone. Once Bella and Harry were there, they saw their DADA- which is Defense Against the Dark Arts-teacher had part of Voldemort's soul in his body. Behind his head, which he kept wrapped up in a turban was Voldemort's face controlling the teacher. They both somehow outwitted him and ended up destroying the Philosopher stone so that Voldemort would not come back.
"After their first year Molly and I started looking at Harry and Bella like one of our own children. We knew how badly the muggles treated them both. The whole summer Ron kept sending letters to them both, but they never replied, We were obviously worried about them, we had decided that if we didn't hear from them within a week we would go and fetch them. Unfortunately Fred, George, and Ron decided to take it upon themselves to go get them. They took my ahhh..." Arthur was looking very guiltily at Molly, who was throwing daggers with her eyes at her husband. While the twins were grinning from ear to ear, seemingly proud of themselves "Flying car all the way to Little whinging. Obviously we were glad that they were safe and sound. When we were about to send them of to Hogwarts the entrance to the train station was somehow blocked for Ron, Harry, and Bella. So they got the magic car and flew all the way to Hogwarts, dangerous it was, they were seen by seven muggles. Unfortunately for the three of them their landing did not go as planned. They accidentally hit The Womping Willow. It's a tree that will fight back when hurt. As the year progressed the twins became aware, along with the rest of the school of an ability they didn't realize they had. They were Parseltongue, they could speak to snakes, a sign of Slytherin's heir.
"Gryffindor For the brave of heart, loyal and chivalry. Hufflepuff who values Loyalty and kindness, fair play, and tolerance. Ravenclaw for those with wit, creativity, and intelligence. Finally, Slytherin who values cunning, resourcefulness, and leadership. These houses are named after the founders. Salazar Slytherin, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff. Since the begging of its existence Godric and Salazar had been rivals, that till this day is showed in the great antagonistic relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin members. Salazar believed that only those of pure-blood statues should be able to learn at the school, while Godric believed that anyone who has the prerequisite requirements to use magic should be able to study there, of course he was talking about muggle-borns. People who have no previous members in their family with magic. The symbol of Slytherin is a snake, due to the fact that Salazar could talk to snakes, it is a trait that is only passed down to his heir. It was said that Salazar could control a Basilisk, a giant snake, into killing muggle-borns
"Anyways after the school found out that the twins were Parseltongue, they were wary of them, rumor started to spread that they were Slytherin's heir, even though their best friend was a muggle-born, and they were raised by muggles. It didn't help that people were being attacked in the castle, and someone leaving eerie messages behind such as, "Slytherin's heir is back". Finally Hermione was the next one attacked, but not without leaving them a hint. It was the rumored Basilisk that was attacking the people. They and their current DADA teacher, a "famous" wizard, tuns out he faked everything he wrote about doing, went into the lair of the Basilisk. Turns out the one controlling the Basilisk was the true heir of Slytherin, V-Voldemort" It was obvious Arthur still had trouble saying the name "His memory was stored in a diary, it was controlling our daughter Ginny, she was the one writing the messages, under his control of course. In the end the twins ended up defeating V-Voldemort for the third time in their young lives.
"Their third year came to be their happiest year in a way. Mass murderer Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, a wizard prison, and was hell-bount to go after the twins" we all gasped was this man crazy? A mass murder was after my Bella and this was a happy time? I briefly wondered if this was happy what on earth did they consider bad? "According to the story Sirius Black was best friend with the twin's father they were as close as brother, in school there was four of them that were always together, always making trouble for the other students and for the teacher. Even after Hogwarts Sirius and James stayed as close as brothers. When Lily and James learned they were being hunted they evoked the Fidelius charm. Now the Fidelius charm is a way for people to stay hidden no matter what, but to evoke this charm they need a secret-keeper, someone who will know where they are, they would be the only one who could the secret place, unless of course they told someone else. Death itself could be looking in through the window and he wouldn't know a thing. They obviously chose Sirius, he would never betray them they were family. Apparently he had been working for Voldemort, he went and told him the place the Potters were hiding. He was the cause for their death, he sold them out, the reason the twins had been raised as orphans" I suddenly along with the rest of my family felt a white, hot, burning hatred for this man, he had been the reason My beautiful Bella had suffered so much. How could a decent human being sell out their family, his brother? Before any one of us could speak our outrage, Arthur continued.
"This you see is the story most commonly known after that apparently Peter, one of the four friends, went after Sirius and yelled about Sirius's betrayal to the Potters. Sirius's laugh was like a maniac's as he killed Peter and twelve muggles. All that was left of Peter was a finger. You can see why the Minister of Magic was worried about the twins, because of them Sirius was imprisoned and his master gone. Also while in Azkaban the guards kept hearing him mutter "At Hogwarts" over and over again. That year Harry, Bella, Hermione, and Ron found out the truth of what really happened that faightful night. They discovered that Sirius, Lily, and James decided that instead of Sirius being secret-keeper they should make Peter the Secret-Keeper. Nobody would ever suspect that weak, lazy Peter would be the chosen secret-keeper, they told no one. not even their fourth friend in the group. Lupin was the fourth friend, he was the children's current DADA teacher and also happened to be a were-wolf, not a shape-shifter, a true child of the moon." Jacob and Sam let a low growl slip from their lips at the hint that they were fake were. "When the children found out what actually happened, they also discovered were Peter had been hiding for all these years. My son happened to have a pet rat that had an exceptionally long life, for a common rat anyways, he also happened to be missing a finger. James, Sirius, and Peter had become animagius, Very much like these shape-shifter, except they get to choose the animal form to help Lupin with his little furry problem. When they found out what peter was Lupin, the children, and Sirius decided that they would take him to the castle so they could finally prove the innocence of Sirius. Unfortunately Lupin had not taken his potion that prevented him from changing. Sirius, in his animagius form, a dog distracted the wolf from the children. Peter took his opportunity of all the chaos to escape. The twins being who they are went after Lupin and Sirius. They found Sirius being attacked by Dementors. Dementors are foul and evil creatures that make one relive their most horrid memory, they feed on the happiness of other people. The Dementors effect the twins more so than other people because they have have truly seen some horrendous things in their short lives. Lupin taught them how to evoke a Patronus Charm, it is a spell that can only be created with the happiest memory in your life. A Patronus takes the shape an animal that is significant in the person's life. They found Sirius being attacked by thousands of Dementors, just one Dementor is a a struggle to defeat. The twins passed out after seeing a Patronus coming to the rescue of their godfather. When they woke up they realized that Sirius had been captured and the Dementors where going to perform the kiss on him. It's the Dementors ultimate move they suck out the soul of an individual living a living puppet. They used a time-turner that Bella and Hermione had been using throughout the year in order to go back in time and save Sirius. They were able to save him and let him escape to safety. So in a sense they were happier this year because they found not just one but two living relatives, even if it wasn't by blood.
"Their fourth year is the beginning of the time that not everyone knows what starts to happened. You see those four have such a close-knit support group for each other its practically impossible to crack their bond. Now that Dumbledore is dead the only people who actually know everything that happens in the years to come is Ron, Hermione, Ron, and Bella That year We invited Bella, Harry, Hermione to the Quidditch World Cup. Quidditch is a wizard sport. While there Death eater decided to attack. Death eater are what Voldemort's supporters are called. Someone fired the death mark into the sky. This mark had not been seen since the rein of Voldemort. Before people knew that a family had just been killed when the Death Mark appeared over the house, it was a symbol that everyone feared. That year the Triwizard Tournament would be hosted at Hogwarts. It is a tournament that invites two other schools to compete. People who are of age to participate in the tournament put their names in the Goblet of Fire where it chooses a random person from each school. Much to everyone's shock that year it chose two extra people, the twins. There was an uproar on them competing. 1) They were obviously to young, these competitions where made to push people to their limit, it was very well known that people had died before in this tournament 2)Hogwarts would get the advantage of having not one, or two, but three possible champions. The twins were mercifully bullied and made fun of, everyone thought they cheated, even Ron their best friend turned his back on them thinking they had cheated. This year Bella became determined to make sure that neither Harry nor her died. She spent hours and plenty of sleepless night, with the help of Hermione looking up spells that would help them survive. Their first challenge was to defeat a dragon" My whole family sucked in a breath. Dragons! My Clumsy, fragile Bella had battled dragons? As a human? "They won and almost died in the process. On the bright side Ron became convinced that their was no way the twins would cheat and be crazy enough to want this. Their next challenge was to save a dear one to them from mermaids. Their final challenge was to go through a giant maze, filled with deadly creatures. Finally after the whole competition it was discovered what had gone wrong with the Goblet of Fire, their current DADA teacher had been replaced, forcefully by a death eater. He made the cup that the winner had to grab to win and made it a portkey. A portkey can be any random item from a quill to a piece of parchment" none of my family missed the mentioning of such old styles of writing "and it will take you to a specific place no matter how far away it might be. The portkey lead Bella, Harry, and Cedric Diggory the other Hogwarts champion, to Voldemort. He used their blood to bring himself back to life. The twins watched as Peter killed Cedric and the return of Voldemort, they couldn't do anything but watch helplessly. We're not quite sure what happened in the graveyard, but one thing is certain, the twins dueled Voldemort, the most feared wizard and lived to tell the tale. They brought back Cedric body for his parents. Thanks to the twins Dumbledore was able to quickly take counter-measures against Voldemort. He gathered old friends. With that the twins fourth year ended in devastating news. Whatever they saw in that graveyard greatly affected them both and their relationship.
During that summer the twins were kept in the dark, much to their frustration, from anything and everything happening in the wizardry world. I believe it was Dumbledore's plan to keep them at the Dursley's the whole summer, but of course being the trouble magnet the twins are, that didn't go as planned. They, along with their cousin, were attacked by Dementors. They had no choice but to use magic to make them disappear. Now using magic outside of school as an underage wizard is illegal so obviously they got a letter saying that they were being expelled from Hogwarts. Nights later The Order sent a guard to retrieve them both. They were to be moved to Sirius's family house, the headquarters to the Order. What we saw when they got there shocked us all. Harry had grown withdrawn and angry at the world he would retreat to the cavern of his own mind. While shy and quiet Bella refused to be quiet anymore. She started talking back to people, she became bitter. Honestly the change was not only emotionally but physically, Bella became a stunning young woman, it was not a surprise if you had seen her parents. Bella became insufferable to be around, the after shock of watching someone die was effecting her greatly and we could all see the internal struggle she and Harry were having. Their relationship became quite strained. They were constantly arguing and yelling. It was something that none of us had ever seen before. Before they had been so close it was as though they were joined at the hip. We recently found out that Bella took it upon herself to learn the art of Occlumency and Legilimency. It is the art of mind reading and blocking oneself to anyone else trying to penetrate their minds. Obviously You all have question about this subject but it shall wait till I am done with the story. Anyways the twins were tried for their illegal use of magic, of course they were found innocent. Meanwhile the Order was taking extra precautions to take care of something it was a weapon that Voldemort was desperately after. The minister of Magic was determined to make it seem as though the twins and Dumbledore were mental, in order to make people believe what they were saying about Voldemort's return was a lie. The minister of Magic was wasting time, when he should have been taking precautions to prevent the rise of Voldemort. Now when the twins went of to Hogwarts from what we know they were avoided like the plague thanks to the rumors about them being liars. The ministry also decided it was time for them to get involved in Hogwarts, something that had never happened. It is quite taboo to mix the two, Bella said it is like in your world mixing religion and Government. They hired a woman that was basically appointed to 'fix' the problems in Hogwarts. She refused to teach the children any practical magic, she was also appointed as their new DADA teacher you see, that would help them in the real world. She-she... ahhh...while giving the twins detention, she basically tortured them. making them carve 'I must not tell lies' into their hands" Arthur mumbled the last part that we had to strain to hear what he said. We all let out instinctive hisses. Before any of us could say anything Arthur quickly continued. "Meanwhile Bella was becoming quite...ahhh...Popular with the young boys-
"POPULAR? is that what you call it? we practically had to beat the guys of her with sticks-"
"Yea and it wasn't like she was acting very shy that year was she?"
The twins spoke up. Startling us all, we had been so entranced in Arthur's story of Bella, hungry for knowledge of her real life that we had completely forgotten where we were. Before I could defend my Bella Arthur again spoke up quite quickly
"Yes anyways she was becoming more popular and trying her best to make people count her as her own person not just as 'The chosen One'. Of course being the true genius that she was she didn't let any of it effect her school work." The way Arthur spoke of her was as though he was talking about his own children. He was obviously quite proud of her. "She and Hermione decided that if that teacher was not going to teach them how to do proper magic that Bella and Harry would start teaching the ones that were interested in learning. They started a club called Dumbledore's Army as a way to defy Umbridge, the High Inquisitor. Right before Christmas I was guarding the item Voldemort when I was attacked by Voldemort's snake, luckily for me the twins happened to have a dream about me getting hurt. Something happened that night that greatly disturbed Dumbledore, it convinced him to make Harry start taking Occlumency lessons, fortunately Bella had already known it, we're not quite sure why she also had that dream if she was already such an accomplished Occlumency user. Unfortunately Harry never quite fully mastered Occlumency so his mind became open to Voldemorts'. He sent images of himself torturing Sirius, since Harry was the only one to get the images he quickly rushed on with a lot of his friends to 'save' Sirius. Bella on the other hand stayed behind and thought about the whole thing instead she went to contacted the Order and tell them what was happening. She then hurried to catch up with the other lot. We are also not quite sure what happened in the department of mysteries. The twins and everyone else found out the secret weapon was a prophecy that Voldemort was after. In the end Voldemort gained entrance to the twins head but unfortunately for him they posses a power he could never have, the ability to love. Much to the twins distress that night in the Battle Of Department of Mysteries Sirius dies. You can imagine how distraught they were, the only parental figure they have had their whole lives was dead. He was killed by his own cousin a death eater. In a way his death brought about the twins closeness again. After that they were once again inseparable. According to Ron and Hermione after the battle Harry and Bella were furious at Dumbledore because he had not warned the twins about what was happening. Also they have told us that Dumbledore knew the prophecy and repeated it to Harry and Bella, though no one except those five know what the prophecy contains. Also thanks to the Battle of the department of mysteries everybody found out that Voldemort was back and Harry, Bella, and Dumbledore had been telling the truth for a whole year. Honestly it was practically impossible to hind the fact that he was back after so many ministry workers saw him while they were rushing to the 'save the day'.
"The following year the twins held a new bond that had never before existed. Before they were close but now it was beyond belief they, along with Ron and Hermione closed in on themselves like never before. It must be such an amazing feeling having someone you can count on so much for, like those four do for each other. That year Harry and Bella began having private lessons with Dumbledore, no body but them and Ron and Hermione know what went on in those meeting. All we know was that Dumbledore was relying some very important information to them. Now after the Battle Of the department of mysteries everyone knew that Bella and Harry were telling the truth, the wizardry community was in an uproar. One night when Dumbledore, Harry, and Bella were coming back to Hogwarts after a supposedly important mission the castle had been taken over by death eaters. They had somehow infiltrated Hogwarts...that night Dumbledore died at the hand of a man he trusted, against everyone's insistence he didn't do so. His name was Snape." Arthur spat the name like it was a dirty word, even I had to admit I felt disgust towards this man.
"Apparently before Dumbledore's death he assigned Harry, Ron, and Hermione a mission, well mostly it was Harry Ron and Hermione insisted on going. The only thing that Dumbledore insist is that Bella go into hiding, so she was sent here by Harry. I do believe that it was the hardest thing those two had ever gone through, being separated I mean. We have no idea what happened for that whole year that Harry, Hermione, and Ron were on the run. You have no idea how scared we were from them, but they couldn't come out in the open because Voldemort had officially taken over the ministry. Somehow Bella kept in touch with them. According to them they contacted each other at least twice a week. Being apart was so hard for them both it was like missing their other half. Bella also kept us posted on what was happening over in her side of the world."
He said this last part with a pointed look, I immediately looked down in shame for I knew what he was hinting at. They knew about me leaving.
"When you left Edward we were forced to constantly check up on her, we were afraid she would do something crazy like kill herself, or go after Voldemort herself. Anyways, Suddenly those four appeared at Hogwarts and they-"
He was cut of by Molly's hurrid voice
"I'm sorry dears but Bella said she would personally show you all what happened after she left here, she said she at least owed you all that."
We were all stunned into silence. Dry sobs were still slipping out of either Alice's, Esme's, or Renesemee's mouth. We were all shocked at the strength Bella had shown throughout the years. She had so many things happened to her and yet she was still such a brave person. I felt a sudden burst of pride knowing that my angel was such an amazing person. If possible I fell in love with her more than ever after hearing her life story. Everybody else was deep in their own thoughts. I was the first to start talking out of my family.
"Will you tell me about why I can't read yours or Bella's mind?"
Arthur gave a hearty chuckle and answered in an amused tone
"Well you see like I said Bella is a very skilled Occlumency master, meaning she can block people from penetrating her mind. Well you see before coming here she made us both learn Occlumency because of you Edward she didn't want you entering our mind" He said the last part quite shyly "Honestly she was a total dictator when she insisted we learn Occlumency."
The twins were both chuckling
"Yea she did luckily for us we already knew how to perform Occlumency"
"You know one day you're going to have to tell us why and how you learned Occlumency" said Molly with a suspicious look
"I have a question for you" Carlisle finally spoke up, we all knew what he was going to ask before he even spoke "Why does the name Dumbledore sound so familiar to me...but I can't quite grasp why..." He trailed off. I was also curious about why there was an odd tug at his brain at the mere mention of Dumbledore's name
Molly spoke up before either her husband or sons could speak
"That's because you know him. He's an old friend of yours" Many of us gasped and shot accusing glances at Carlisle. Why would he lie about something so important as this? The only ones who weren't staring at Carlisle with accusation was me and Jasper. From his mind I could see the complete confusion, while Jasper could feel it.
"I think you might be mistaken I do not recall ever meeting a Dumbledore. You see as a vampire I have a perfect memory therefore I think I would remember If I had ever met him."
"Ah that's where you're wrong. You see us wizards have this special Spell called Obliviate that erases the mind. It makes one forget anything the caster wants them to forget. You see you met Dumbledore many years before and you were the best of friends. Everyone in the wizardry community knew of you as the compassionate vampire that did not feed on humans, but animals instead. You were adored by many, you actually wrote a book that became quite famous in the vampire community. Much to Dumbledore's dismay while Voldemort started gaining power the first time he started targeting vampires. He especially wanted you, you see when most vampires kill they can't help but waste time getting the blood. But if he had one that would waste no time on trying to drink their victims dry he could be twice as effective. Dumbledore could not stand the idea of Voldemort somehow making you join his side, so he did the only thing he could. With your permission of course he erased any though of the wizardry world from your mind."
We were all shocked and were staring at Carlisle. How can one person make someone forget a whole chapter of their own life. Carlisle was so confused, he wanted to doubt these people, but something in the pit of his stomach was telling him that what these people were saying was the truth.
"So you're telling me that this man Dumbledore was a good friend of mine?" Carlisle asked tentatively seeing how the name sounded in his tongue. It felt far to familiar to be someone he had just heard of.
"Wait you said he erased my mind then why do I still remember?"
Molly looked quite embarrassed, I couldn't be sure about what since her mind was as quiet as Bella's
"Ah well you see...while here Bella did some research on you and experiments and figured out that it has to do with your quick healing. According to her when you erase someone's mind it's like your breaking a part of their brains. NOw thanks to your quick healing all you needed was a little hint in the right direction."
"Are you telling us that Bella...experimented on us?..." Esme asked quietly.
The twins both laughed and nodded. "We insisted she do some real experimentation like tying you up and everything but all she really did was take pieces of your hair" we all let out all sigh of reassurance knowing that Bella had not done anything to really invade our privacy. The only one still glaring was Rosalie. I didn't really bother with her yet. Alice asked the next question in her head
"Why didn't Bella tell us the truth? Didn't she trust us?"
Molly gave us a sympathetic look. The way she looked at Alice was as though she already thought of her as her own daughter
"She did honey, the problem was she made an Unbreakable Vow. It's a vow that people make. They make a promise, if the person breaks it...they die. She made a promise with Harry that she would not perform magic or even mention it to anybody."
We were all struck into silence. Everyone's minds were going in every direction. Finally Esme asked the obvious question
"What now? I mean we all still have many question to ask. We also want to know what happened to Bella after she disappeared, so..." the question slowly drifted of
"Well Bella's idea was that you all accompany us to Hogwarts were everyone is waiting for your arrival. We of course understand if you do not want to see Bella just yet, and Bella also understand this as well. The only thing she insisted she tell you all is that no matter what happened she will always love you all as a family. Edward will always be the love of her life. Renesemee will always be her beloved daughter...and all of you are still her family. So please tell us are you all going with us or staying?"
I met my family's stares. In them I saw betrayal, hurt, pain, but also love and understanding. Alice straightened her small frame and stood up.
"Well I'm going. Bella is my sister and personally I want to know what happened with Voldemort. God I hope Bella and Harry killed that bastard. Especially after everything he did to my sister."
We all chuckled and stood up ready to follow Bella anywhere she might take us.
