Ariana abd Jacob thought they were in the clear after that. Harry had left to go look for a man that never existed, Edwards was in another country, and Bella was dead, but ehr parents thought she had left as well. Things were going perfectly for tem.

The field that she and Edward used to lie in was now onely for them. Unfortanely, the flowers were all dead because it was cold, but is was still pretty with the snow on ti and Jacob always held her closely in ehr arms, keeping her warm.

They loved wachother with out a care in teh corld. But that world was about to come crasing down on them. SOmeone they never expected to seeagain in their entire lives sudenly showed up on ariana's doorstep one day, exhausted and covered in dirt.

Ariana stared out at the boy in horror.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She managed to squeak out.

The boy looked up at her, looing faint, "I just can't seem to stay away from this city."

He hoistee up his brom and set it against theh side of her house.

"How abot we start over, huh?" He extended his hand, "My name is Harry POtter's what's yours?"

"Ariana Veressa Midnight Rosegarden," She said, hesitantly, reaching out to grasp his hand in hers. They shook hands and then their hands dropped back to their sides lke useless things. They staerd at eachother, Ariana waiting for him to ask her why she lied to him abiout the man. But he never did.

"What are you doing back here?"

"I left to go fight, but now my enemy has gone bcak underground and I can't find him. It's safer for me and my freinds if I don't go to shcool, which is a place he would expect me to go back to. Now he'll have to search for me instead."

"Oh, okay." She said, lamely, "Want to come in?"

"Sure."

He came in and she offered him a seat, which he took. She then went to go call Jacob about htis unseen event.

"He's back!" She hissed into the phone when he ansered.

"Who's back?"

"The wizard boy, Harry POtter!"

"What? What's he doing back here?"

"I don't know, but he said that he was hinding from his enemy, that it was safer he then it is at his school because his eney doesn't know hwere he is when he's here, but he would know where he was if he was at his school. So he came here to hide out and keep his friends and himself safe frmo harms way brought to him by his enemy."

"That sounds susupicious."

"I thought so, to, but it looks like he's been through hell and abck! He's completely dirty and has mutliple cuts. His clothes are in disarray, as well."

"MAybe he's just playing the part."

"Maybe, we'll se. For now, I'll act like nothing is wrong."

"good plan. Call me if you want me to come down to your place."

"will do."

He was about to hang up when he added, "I love you, Ariana."

"I love you, to, Jacob."

Their call ended and she went back into the room where Harry was sitting.

"Who was that?"

"A call I needed to make to a friend. Why don't you fgo take a shower because oyu're cobered in dirt."

"Alright, thanks. Where's the bathroom."

"Down the hallways, first door on the right. I'll go get you some clothes."

He went into the bothroom and she ran out of the house, going to Bella's house. MAkeing sure the dad wasn't ther, she stole some of his clothes, then ran back hom. She set them ouside the bathroom door. Harry finished his shower.

"Did you get me some spare clothes?"

"Yeah, theyu're out here."

She walked away so he could grab them, but, as he did, he slipped and fell, sliding out in to the hallway, right in Ariana's view.

He stood up, completely naked and all out there. Ariana blused as she saw just how well builyt the boy was for his skinny stature. Embarrased, he grabbed the clothes, apologized, and went back intop the bathrom.

She went and sat down at the dinning room table and could feel, in horror, the feelings she used to hae for him risiong to the surface once more.
