I had a few people request for another early update. Fyi if I get three or more people asking for one and I have it wrote I'll post it. This skips Sunday. I don't know why but I just didn't want to write it

Chapter 9 Monday confrontations with Edward and his gang of Vampires and Bella's assessment of Edward

I woke with a start. My bed was cold. I frowned lightly. I missed Jacob's heat. I rolled my eyes at my childishness, I had only slept in the same bed with him once and I was spoiled. I rolled out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom.

Showered, shaved, and dressed in dark jeans and a weird sister's shirt with the necklace and bracelet Bella made Saturday I made my way down stairs. I smiled when I saw Bella standing at the front door again.

She had a plate in her hands again. I smiled taking it from her and opening the door for her.

I led the way to the kitchen.

Our day was pretty much the same as Friday, but without the nervousness we had entering the school.

The first few classes went without any issues. Everyone was still crazy polite but it wasn't so bad this time because I expected it.

Lunch however was a different story.

"Can I speak with you?" I heard a musical voice ask me from behind me. I turned to find Edward smiling at me with not black or red but a strange butterscotch color of eyes.

"Sure. I'm finished any way. Bella I'll meet you at the class room." I said to her before I got up and followed Edward outside.

I was glad that I had Gryffindor courage with me.

The crunch of the snow was loud even to my ears as we walked.

Once we were out of sight of the main building he stopped and turned to me.

I could see questions in his eyes.

"How…" he started but shook his head. "What…" he tried again looking at me expectantly but seemed disappointed before demanding. "Explain."

"I don't really have to but since you seem so confused about it I will. I am a wizard and I went to Hogwarts. I know of your kind and of the wolves on the reservation. And I will not tell anyone what you are. Not even Bella, even though she knows of the wolves and me. That is something you must tell her." I said moving to walk away.

"Wait. Harry Potter correct?" I nodded and was shocked when he looked to my forehead. "Carlisle talks very highly of you. He knew Albus very well. I was in fact taught by Albus after I was turned."

"How long have you been?"

"Since 1918. I believe that Albus still had red hair then…" he said with a wistful smile before looking back at me with a hard face, "why cant I read your mind?"

"Occlumency. A magical mind barrier." I answered with a smile, it had taken me forever to get them up but once they were up the barriers to my mind stayed without much thought to them.

"Yes… I forgot about those…" he said with such… remorse that I had to laugh.

"I have a question for you…" I said and waited for him to nod. "Why are your eyes the color they are? I am used to red-eyed vamps."

"We hunt only animals but if we go too long our eyes will turn black… like Friday, speaking of which I am thankful that you tried to block Bella's scent from me. It worked a little but not very well. Her scent is stronger than anyone else's for me. I don't know why but it is…" he said confused. "And you are the first human that does not smell like food to us."

"I can block my scent… and I think I know but I'll have to check when I get home. I have a book that should be helpful… you can borrow it if you want. It's new and vaguely accurate. It was wrote by a vampire so… you know…" I said with a smile.

"Edward." I heard another musical voice sing but this time is was more female I turned to see the girl from my first day.

"Alice." He said meeting her eyes.

"I see you have told this human more than he needs to know." Another much more harsh female voice said as she appeared.

"I already knew I was just wondering about the eyes." I said with a smile as I watched her glare at me.

"Now Rose, don't hurt the poor boy." Another voice said from behind me, I turned to see Emmett.

"She wouldn't." I said with the confidence I felt.

"She would but only to be a bitch. Not to drink." A final voice said next to Alice.

It was Jasper. He looked like just being this close to me was hurting him. Without thinking I blocked my scent, not just from Jasper and Edward but also from all of them.

This made them look at me even harder.

"My name is Harry Potter." I said simply.

"Well nah shit." Rosalie sneered as she looked at her nails trying not to pay attention to me.

"I'm sorry, I am that Harry Potter. From Hogwarts." This seemed to do the trick as Rosalie looked back up at me.

"Oh. Well… damn…" she said confused now.

"Yeah. I never thought I would get the chance to meet you." Emmett said nearly bursting with joy at the prospect.

"Emmett calm down…" Jasper said with a smile.

"Sorry. I'm just so…"

"Yeah dude I know." He said still smiling rather brightly.

"I can read minds, Alice can see the future but only through decisions, and Jasper can feel feelings and send them out to others." Edward said when I looked at him.

"Oh well that's nice." I said earnestly.

"Makes hard for keeping secrets." Jasper said as the bell that signaled the end of lunch went off.

"I need to find Bella. I'll see you later. Stop by if you want that book. Oh and I'd hold your breath. I've had a wolf over for a few days and I'm sure you wont enjoy that as much as Bella's scent being everywhere." I said after everyone else ran to his or her classes.

He smiled before grabbing me and placing me on his back and running at Vampire speed to Biology. It was incredible. I knew we'd get to the class before anyone else.

Sure enough we stopped just before Bella and Angela rounded the corner with Mike in tow that was covered head to foot in snow.

"Thanks." I said before walking up to Bella.

"Are you okay?" Bella whispered.

"Yeah, he's not as grumpy as he was the other day." I replied with a smile.

"We'll see about that." Bella muttered darkly as we entered the classroom.

Edward was writing diligently in his notebook and didn't look up when we passed the fan but took a deep breath instead and smiled as we sat down.

Bella was ogling him relentlessly.

Finally he looked up and Bella blushed and looked away.

"Hello." Edward said in a shy voice, like when he asked to speak to me at lunch.

"Hi." Bella said with a slight rude undertone.

"I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan," he said in the same shy voice.

"H-how did you know my name?" Bella stuttered slightly making Edward laugh.

"Oh I think everyone knows your name. The whole town has been waiting for you to get here."

"No I meant why did you call me Bella?"

"Do you prefer Isabella?"

"No Bella is fine. But I think Charlie; my dad, has been calling me Isabella behind my back because that's what everyone seems to know me as."

After that Mr. Banner started class. We were doing mitosis phases with onion roots.

I let the two of them do it but look at each one so I could identify them for later if need be.

After the teacher gave us the golden onion Edward gave it to Bella with an awkwardly bashful smile.

I couldn't help but snort and roll my eyes at him.

"It's too bad about the snow isn't it?" Edward said as we waited for the other groups to finish the lab.

"Not really…" she said honestly with a smile.

"You don't like the cold." It wasn't a question the way he said it.

"Or the wet."

"Forks must be a difficult place for you then." Edward mused with a chagrin grin.

"You have no idea." She muttered darkly as she packed up her bag.

"Why come here then?" he asked directly and I knew that no one had yet to ask her that straight out like that since we had arrived.

"It's… complicated."

"I think I can keep up." He said urging her on.

"My mother got remarried."

"That doesn't sound so complex. When did that happen?" he asked suddenly sympathetic.

"Last September." Her voice sounded sad even to me.

"You don't like him." Edward assumed.

"No it's not that. Phil is fine. Too young maybe but nice enough."

"Then why didn't you stay with them?" Edward persisted, I was confused to why he didn't know, I mean he could read minds so why couldn't he read hers… or maybe he couldn't maybe her mind was just as blank to him as mine was.

"Phil travels a lot. He plays baseball for a living." This seemed to catch his attention.

"Have I heard of him?" he asked.

"Probably not. He doesn't pay well. Minor league. He moves around a lot."

"so your mom sent you here so that she could travel with him." This was the wrong thing to say and he knew it the moment the words were out of his mouth.

"no, I sent myself. She stayed with me at first but she missed him. It made her unhappy so I decided that it was time to spend some quality time with Charlie."

"But now you're unhappy." He pointed out.

She ignored him as she pulled out the fuzzy thing. I inhaled a deep breath. This would not go over well. It turned black, and blue for me then red for Edward before a hell of a lot of purple.

"Hmmm…" she said slightly confused and turned to me. "What was red again? I don't remember."

"I don't either I left the list at home."

"Oh…" she muttered as Mr. Banner called the class to attention to show everyone what they were looking for under the microscope.

Edward had an odd look on his face as he eyed the fuzzy thing.

"Red means you." I whispered as low as I could and I watched his eyes grow big. "Magic." I added for his sake.

His eyes turned to glare at the fuzzy thing.

"You can't make it burst into flames with your laser vision." I mumbled with a laugh before Bella put it back in her bag as the bell rang.

Edward got up a bit slower than he did Friday but still was out of the room before anyone else.

"That was weird…" Bella said to me as Mike made his way over to us.

Mike gave me a hard look before smiling as he walked with us.

"Hey no hard feelings right? I mean I was only joking about the queer thing." He said looking at his feet.

"It's fine. Just struck a cord I guess. But don't make fun of people like that. It's not like we choose who we find attractive anyway." I said as Bella left for her changing room.

We didn't speak as we changed clothes and I made sure I kept my eyes off of him except for his face and that was only if I had to look at him once we were out of the changing room I saw Bella sitting where she had been the last Friday.

"Still no uniform?" I asked as I sat with her.

"Nope." She said popping the p with a devilish grin.

We sat in silence until the coach blew his whistle to start warm up stretches.

Edward P.O.V.

Harry was a conundrum to me. He was kind and friendly yet he was cautious and defensive. I liked him. And it was a plus that he did not smell like food.

Even with my feeding frenzy that I went through over the weekend was not enough to stop the venom from flooding my mouth when I caught whiffs of her scent.

It was like I was a starved man living on water with a freshly cooked roast in front of me, and I had to resist.

He mentioned a book, that Carlisle did not own, that was wrote by a vampire. That held my mind of what it might contain.

Cullen is so weird…I heard someone think and I could not help but chuckle. Everyone thought I was weird, or hot, or crazy. It was great that kept most people away from me. But not Harry. And not Bella, I was pretty sure what is keeping her away is the fact that I was more rude then anything to her. I still couldn't believe my ears last Friday when the new kid took one look at me and decided to help block Bella's scent from then actually told me to go eat something!

It was a good thing I was going to do just that because I could smell the salt in the air as I left. I had made Bella cry such a human thing but it made my unbeating heart clench but I knew I could not go back. Her scent mixed with the twangy smell of salt would be the end of me.

A/n I hope I made the scene with the Cullen's okay… I've never wrote them like that…

See that little button right below here? Yup THAT one. The one with the green letters. It lets me know if I'm doing a good job or a shitty one… lemme know! Please? {pouts} ^.^ on to the sneak peaks yall seem to love so much

I sat at the oak desk and ate my mac and cheese before daring to try it. After I was finished I pulled my wand out and flicked it. Hundreds of miniature books flew to the shelves. The walls had inset shelves and they were full with a stack of about twenty books that had not been able to fit on the shelves.

"Merlin's mistress… Hermione went mental…" I muttered as I sat the stack of books next to the oak desk.

"Accio Vampire Cultures Through the Ages." I said with a swish of my wand. Sure enough a small book came flying from one of the top shelves and landed on the desk with a soft thud.

About that time I heard a whistle of wind. Without looking around I smiles.

"Hey Edward."

"How'd you know I was here?" he asked skeptically.

I had to roll my eyes. "Wizard remember?"

"Oh… yeah… sorry. Not being able to hear you ought to remind me of that but… Bella isn't a witch so… I think it throws me off." He was rambling.

Every girl in school would kill to be me now. Ha!

"Here's the book." I said enlarging the book to it's normal size.

"Thanks… and I see what you meant by the smell. The combination is really… odd."

"Do I need to cast a scent blocking charm here too?" I asked with a smile as I leaned on the oak desk.

"You don't have to but I'm not sure how your wolf will feel if he can smell me here…" he smiled. My wolf… it sent shivers down my back.

I leaned back to grab my wand and flicked it softly before leaning back forward. Edward looked really relaxed.

"You know. I could cast one on Bella for you…" I offered offhandedly.

"That's nice of you but I need to smell her. It's like a drug to me." He said sheepishly.

"Okay but if you have black eyes in school I am with or without you telling me to. No need to test your restraint in a school full of innocent kids right?"

"Right. Er… well thank you for the book. I'll get it back to you tomorrow morning." He said.

"No need to return it. Hermione has like twelve copies. We had to have them last year for one of our classes and well… no one wanted to keep them and you don't throw away books with Hermione around and live to tell the tell."

"If your sure…" he started.

"I am. And feel free to prowl through my other books any time. Just let me know which ones you took to read." I said with a smile.

"Okay. Well I need to get back Carlisle wants to speak to me about something."

"Okay see you in the morning." I said and with a breeze he was gone through the picture window.

I walked to my room and pulled out a large case from under my bed. I hadn't played in a while and my fingers were itching for me to. I walked back to the study and sat on the desk Indian style. Hehehe Indian style… Jacob would find that funny later.
