Chapter 6 - Promise I'll be Kind

ALICE POV

Forest. Trees. Everywhere. It's not Forks. I knew that immediately. It was… The Forbidden Forest? Yes, the Forbidden Forest. I let the vision take it's toll, and soon I could see sparks of bright colors everywhere. I recognized them as magic from wands, and suddenly a chill went through my every limb. It was strange, seeing how we vampires aren't affected by our surrounding temperatures. It was if it was brought on from pure fright, not temperature.

Suddenly, everything became dim. I wanted to scream. This never happened in my visions, except when someone purposefully was trying to block themselves or the event was subjecting to change with so many decisions along the way. It annoyed me to the fullest.

A figure came into view, and she was the clearest and sharpest thing in my vision. Her red hair was startlingly bright, even in the moonlight. She was beautiful; I could tell that by just a single glance. And I could tell who she was. I couldn't look away, especially not from her face. Heart shaped and angular, it radiated beauty that you saw in the magazines. A cute little button nose, small but full and luscious lips, and a pair of eyes to make anyone go breathless. The eyes were what made me confused and surprised.

The eyes of Ginny Weasley's were the eyes of a newborn, matching her hair perfectly.

"Idiot. Fool. Jackass. Dumbass. Blockhead. Dimwit. Bloke. Twat. Dunce. Twit. Moron. Imbecile." I hissed under my breath, and dragged Edward out of the room, my husband following me. I wasn't going to anyone about this; I knew something like this… It would be like pouring alcohol or gasoline on a smoldering fire. I took this opportunity to let my anger out at Edward though, enjoying calling him names. It was.. Therapeutic. I could tell he was trying to realize what I was thinking about, and soon filled my mind with the first song I could think of.

I want your loving, and I want your revenge. You and me could write a bad romance. I want your loving and your lover's revenge. You and me could write a bad romance. Whoaaaaaaaaa. Caught in a bad romance. Whoaaaaaaa. Caught in a bad romance. I thought happily as Edward looked at me, grimacing. He wasn't all too fond of Lady Gaga, and I made sure he listened to her 24/7.

"I'm sorry Jasper." Edward said curtly, rubbing his temple as he walked away. I grinned. I wondered if vampires could get headaches?

ISABELLA POV

"Ok, today shall be a free period. Basically, no lighting anything on fire, no performing magic on anyone or anything that could harm someone or the person in question, and absolutely no stepping out of this room while I am away. I have a meeting to attend to, and I do not have to explain myself to the Headmaster on why my children were running up and down the hells like imbeciles with no common sense."

My head lifted up, my mood instantly going to a new high. Binn's, while he was a good professor and all, was a dead bore. Literally. He was a ghost, and I suspected the meeting he was going to was the one to plot Nearly Headless Nick's birthday party. I couldn't help but grin. Halloween was coming up fast, in four days. This year, some of the Hogwarts students were going to Hogsmeade and staying there during the morning and afternoon of Halloween, and it seemed like fun. Most of the upper classmen (5th, 6th, and 7th years) were going, while the lower classmen were opting to stay at the castle. I shrugged it off. Oh well, their loss.

"Isabella, I would find it nice to see you at the least upset there will be no class today." Professor Binns said, but winked in my direction before leaving the room.

"Izzy, I swear, Binn's practically loves you. You're the only student he jokes around with." Ron said out loud, as if trying to figure out just why the teacher liked me and not him. I ignored him, just as the faint 'click' of the door was heard. Everyone turned, and groaned. The door was locked, and I was slightly tempted to see what it took to open it. But, I never quite got the chance to, seeing how Lavender Brown immediately stood up and said one word.

"Everyone, hurry up and get to middle of the classroom, we're going to place a nice Muggle game called 7 minutes in Heaven."

For Merlin's sake, who in their right mind told Lavendar about that damned game? I could tell that the period was going to be longer than it usually felt like. A lot longer.

GINNY POV

I sat up in bed, frowning. I was looking down at some work for Astronomy, of all things, and I couldn't tell if I was looking at the map correctly, or if I was reading it the wrong way. Carlisle had just said I could leave tomorrow, and I was glad. I had been in the infirmary for a week now, even thought my injuries weren't that bad. It was strange to think of Professor Cullen as a vampire, especially since most vampires I knew of were often bloodthirsty and a bit insane. So insane they'd do anything for your neck.

"Ms. Weasley, you have a visitor." Carlisle said, looking a bit uneasy. I hadn't even noticed that he was in the room, none the less just a few feet away from me. I shrugged it off, thinking it was a vampire thing. I was confused as to why he looked a bit hesitant, and wondered just who was visiting me.

"O… OK Carlisle." I said, and he sighed. He left over to the door, and I heard small mumbling noises, before Alice came in. I wrinkled my nose, and was very confused now. Just why was Alice visiting me? I had talked to her one, twice maybe.

"Good morning Ginny." She practically sang out, and I cringed a bit. She was loud, and I was semi sensitive to noise at the moment. I felt my recurring headache creep up on me, and Alice pursed her lips.

"Morning Alice… Umm… I'm not trying to be rude, but what do you want…?" I asked, and her forehead crinkled just the slightest. It was only for a second, but soon enough she just smiled.

"Ginerva, I don't need a reason to come see you. I was just seeing if you were feeling better. It'd be fairly inexcusable if you missed another week of school."

"Ok…" I mumbled, before she sighed.

"Alright, I was here to talk to you about something… Although I didn't know you'd outright come out and ask, I was trying to take a slower approach.." She said, before sitting down in the visitors chair next to my bed. "Well.. Ginerva…"

"Ginny." I automatically corrected her. No one called me Ginerva, except my crazy Great-Aunt Muriel. She sighed.

"Just like Bella…" She mumbled, and her eyes scanned my face. I felt almost violated, the way she was studying me. She huffed, before finally talking.

"Now, Ginny… I can't help but wonder what's going on between you and my.. Brother." She said, making a small face at the word brother. I knew they weren't at all related, but Alice seemed to like keeping the façade that they were.

"Between me and Edward?" I asked, a bit shocked and bewildered she asked me what was "going on". "Nothing!"

Alice merely shrugged, and got up. "If you say so, then alright. But, remember this. Edward Cullen left Isabella. Isabella, your sister. I'd take into account that little detail when dealing with him." She said, before smiling brightly.

"Well, I'm off! My free periods almost over. Hope you feel better Ginerva." She said, before swiftly getting up and leaving. I watched her go out of the door, and bit my thumb nail. A horrible habit of mine, but I couldn't care more about it right now. I had a feeling Alice knew more than what she was letting on; her asking me what was going on between me and Edward was not random. If only I knew why she asked.

I also thought about what she said last. Edward had been dating Bells, but broke up with her. A rather bad way too, by the way Alice said. She sounded so.. Cold. But, I couldn't help but think about Edward. The corners of my lips rose slightly at the thought of him, and I felt my jaw drop slightly from surprise. Oh my Merlin. I was… Falling for Edward Cullen.

ISABELLA POV

"Ok, now for this edition of Seven Minutes in Heaven.."

"What the bloody hell is that?"

"Yeah, it sounds like some sort of drug."

"Oh, is it E?"

"Weed?

"Mary Joanna!"

I watched amused as Lavender got more and more frustrated with our class. I was slightly familiar with the game, having heard Jessica giggling about it while looking at Mike. Angela had just been shaking her head, but a smile broke out on her face, along with a blush when Jessica asked about Ben.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP." Lavender yelled, and everyone looked at her. She grinned triumphantly. "Good. Now, Seven Minutes in Heaven is a Muggle game where we each team member from each team, this game splitting up by boys and girls. The numbers make a pair with one boy and one girl. One by one, I'll call out a number, and if you have that number, come up. After the girl and boy come up, and I mean it, you two had better come up here or I will magically mark each ticket so you'll be forced to come up, you two will go into the broom closet for seven minutes. Now, no grossed out faces. I cleaned out the broom closet in advanced; I knew Binns would go sneak off… So. Yeah. Let the games begin."

Everyone started mumbling, and I was among those pale faced and wondering wildly if this was all a joke. I could see this could be.. A very.. Interesting game. Someone pushed a hat around, a pink one for girls, a navy blue one for the boys. I put my hand delicately into the hat when it came my way, and felt around for a piece of folded up paper. I picked one up at random, and passed the hat over to Hermione. She looked slightly worried, and I realized something.

"What if you're taken?" I asked coolly, and Lavendar blinked. She soon recovered though, and smiled in my direction.

"Well. I wasn't aware of the fact you were taken, Swan. But, if you are taken, give your numbers to me if you've picked already, and I'll call those numbers out. Those who have them will redraw from the hat. Couples will not be excluded though. They'll get their chance in the closer." She said, warning people so they didn't rush to say they were going out with someone to get out of the game. A few people mumbled 'shit', me being one of them.

"I'm not taken actually…" I mumbled, but everyone was soon up, trying to be quick as hell so they could play the damn game. I sighed, and looked at the clock. Time was not on my side.

HARRY POV

"Mate, I've got to tell you something. Stop. Being. An. Idiot."

"Ron, you don't understand… I mean, we've been friends for ages!"

"And you've liked her for ages!"

"But, I mean, shouldn't you be telling me to buzz off? You're her brother."

"Yep, but I know Bells can take care of herself. That, and you like her too much to do anything to her."

"Ron… I dunno. What if she doesn't feel the same way?"

"Well, Harry, its about time to ask. Look where it got me."

"Hermione asked you out, you bum."

"Yeah well, Isa doesn't seem like the type to be waiting around forever. So you better hurry, before some bigot comes by and sweeps her off her feet."

I looked out the window, and knew Ron was right. I liked Izzy. A lot. And, I didn't want to make myself look like a huge idiot by not asking her out before graduation. But, I didn't want everything to be all awkward if I do ask her, and she politely declines. Or laugh in my face. I couldn't quite put it past her to laugh, thinking I was joking.

I looked down at my slip of paper. It had a large number scribbled sloppily on it, but it was legible enough that I could read the number "13" on it. I laughed, while shaking my head. 13. The unlucky number. Great.

ISABELLA POV

I looked down at my paper, and laughed a bit. The number within itself was a joke. I rolled my eyes, and looked up. Lavender was looking smug, and within a couple of minutes everyone was situated. She cleared her throat, and I knew she was loving the extra attention.

"Ok then. Everyone has a number. Now, when I call your number, you'll come up. When everyone sees whose together, you'll go over to the broom closet-"She said, and stopped to point it out, before carrying on. "And you'll stay in there for seven minutes. No somehow apparating out of ther-"

"Lavender, its impossible to apparate on Hogwart grounds!" Hermione sighed out, exasperated that her classmates never remembered what she was constantly telling them.

"Right.. Well.. Yeah, just don't bull shit to get out of the closet? K? K, thanks. Now.. First number… Is… Twleve!" Lavender said, and immediately two other kids stood up. They smiled nervously at each other, and went into the closet. Everyone was waiting for something huge to happen. Psht, yeah. Because fireworks will fly out of someone's ass and a disco ball will shine down on us. Soon, they were back to talking, and I proceeded to sit on top of the desk.

Seven minutes passed slowly, and the couple came out, with the girl readjusting her shirt down. I rolled my eyes, and soon couple number four was called up. I smirked as Ron and Hermione got up, and everyone whooped and cat whistled. I was one of the cat whistlers. Hermione blushed, and Ron was giving me a death glare. I responded back with a smile.

Seven minutes later, and Hermione came out looking flustered, and Ron looked pretty pleased with those seven minutes in the closet. This time he smirked at me, and I rolled my eyes. One by one, each number was taken out, and soon enough 28 minutes passed before I noticed the time. I grinned. There was only time left for one more couple to use the closet.

"Ok, well… Someone please go knock on that damn door, I don't feel like walking in on anything gross…" Lavender said, raising an eyebrow. The last couple should have been out a few minutes ago, and you could tell she wanted to get one more couple in there. "Ok, while Trevor does that… Next couple is…. Drum roll please.. Number 13!"

I looked around, and stood up, shrugging. I walked up to the front, and noticed no one got up. I sighed.

"Come on, stop being wusses. I mean, I know I'm no Cheryl Cole, but come off it, I'm not that hideous." I joked, and heard someone sigh. Soon, someone got up, and I was surprised. Harry?

"Well, this is surprising…" Lavender muttered, apparently excited by the fact me and Harry got paired up. I glared at her, and she shrugged. I sighed, and went over to stand next to Harry. Ron had this weird look on his face, and I couldn't place my finger on what kind of face it was. I shrugged it off. It was probably just one of Ronald's many stupid facial expressions.

Everyone was watching us as we went to the closet, and it wasn't until we were inside the damn thing that everyone started talking again. I sat down, while Harry leaned on the wall. The door was closed now, and the only light came from a candle. Soon enough, Harry sat down across from me.

"So. What exactly are we going to do now?" He asked, and I laughed from the naïve like tone of his voice.

"Harry, right now, they think we're on the verge of hooking up." I said, snickering, and he looked blank for a minute, but started laughing.

"Yeah, right.."

"As if that will ever happen.."

"Yeah…"

We both sat there, and I couldn't help but think. What if it did ever happen? I looked over at Harry, and I kind of knew the same thing was going through his mind. We spent the next few minutes merely looking at each other, and slowly, we were closer to each other. I hadn't noticed I'd been scooting myself up to meet him in the middle, and I don't think he noticed he was doing the same either. The candle flickered, and I could see the light sheen of sweat on Harry's forehead. Was it from the heat in this closet, or was he nervous?

Well, Edward did say I should lead a human life, was my last thought before I leaned over to Harry, slowly. Maybe he did something that would be good for me in the long run.

That was my last thought before I kissed Harry.
