Hermonie's POV

"Uhh… 'R'," Harry said.

"You lose." Ron wrote an 'R' on the paper and the stickman on the parchment began frantically waving his arms in the air; his mouth bawling as the inky rope around his neck tightened. When the stool beneath him was kicked away, he struggled and then went limp. Bronze letters darkened onto the parchment like a stain that had just spilled on cloth. The letters spelled out the answer, 'Chudley Cannons'.

"I should have known," Harry said.

"Hi guys," Edward said. He sat down at the table next to Harry. "What are—what is that?" He pointed at the paper. The hangman lay still, as its inky brains slowly began leaking out of its inky skull.

"Hangman. It's gruesome when played in the Wizarding World, isn't it?" I asked.

"Completely," Edward agreed. I noticed that Bella wasn't with him, but his hair was wet.

"Oh, look! Its guts are coming out!" Ron exclaimed.

"Sick," Ginny said.

"I don't even know why they play it," I said.

"I think they just like watching the stickman die."

"This is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen," Edward said.

"What?" I asked.

"For one, the stickman has guts and for two, other stickmen are coming to clean it up."

I shook my head in disgust.

"Hey, mate, where's Bella?" Does he like her? He better not, but I guess I can't really talk since I've cried over Edward and he never even rejected me. He just made me confused.

"She's looking for something with Alice and Rosalie."

"What?"

"Baseball equipment." Why would he play baseball?

"What's baseball?" Ron asked.

"It's a Muggle sport, Ronald. Didn't you learn anything from Muggle Studies two days ago."

"That was two days ago. This is now. Why would you play baseball?"

"It's an American pastime."

"What?" Ron is so stupid sometimes. It is weird that they would play it though, in the middle of a Wizard school.

"Edward Cullen," a voice growled from behind me.

Edward's POV

I looked up and met the eyes of my father-in-law, Charlie Swan.

"Hello, sir," I said. He killed my daughter. I panicked but kept a poker face. What did he know?

"You bastard, you killed my daughter?" He just thought that, too.

"What do you mean?" I asked him as calmly as I could. I still have my gun and I took a bunch of bullets when I left the police force. I could murder him. I also have my wand, but I haven't used it in years. Charlie's a wizard?

"You killed her. You brought her to Alaska where she was killed by a bear."

"Then how did I kill her?"

"You brought her to Alaska. You could have taken her anywhere for your honeymoon and you took her to freezing Alaska with the polar bears. She was the only thing I had left, and you killed her."

I stood up. "Charlie, this isn't the place to talk about this," I said to him.

"The hell when it's a good time." He pulled out his gun and pointed it at me. I heard a few different gasps. Some filled with fear others curiosity. One stood out from all the others. Bella. I glanced out of the corner of my eye at the door. She had a shocked expression on her face.

Bella's POV

Leave. I'll be fine, Edward told me in his thoughts. I couldn't move. I was frozen.

"I should kill you for what you did to her," Charlie yelled, his voice perfectly even.

"Charlie, put the gun down." Edward said reaching for the gun.

It all happened slowly then. Charlie pulled the trigger and it went straight towards Edwards' heart. He caught the bullet in his hand, but the force of the blow sent him flying backwards.

"Edward!" I yelled without thinking.

Charlie looked up at me along with the rest of the room. I distracted them enough for Edward to run out of there, but I just revealed myself to Charlie.

"Bella?" he questioned quietly.

"Crap," I mumbled, then ran as fast as I could out of that room, not bothering to run human speed.

Charlie's POV

"Charlie, put the gun down," Edward said, stepping forward to get the gun.

He killed her. He left her and broke her heart and then killed her. She was my only daughter and now she's gone all thanks to him. He deserves to die.

I pulled the trigger straight at his heart. There was a blur of motion and he flew backwards.

"Edward!" someone yelled. I looked up. Bella was standing in the doorway with a shocked look on her face. She was much prettier than she was before. And much paler. I'm not even sure if it's her. She was dead.

There was a blurred motion next to her. "Bella?" I asked quietly. The second I said that, she was gone.

With her gone, I realized something. I just killed my daughters' husband. She wouldn't have wanted me to do that. She wanted us to get along. That never did happen and it never will now.

I dropped my gun and collapsed on the floor sobbing. I felt cold arms go around me. I looked up and saw Alice. Her face was impassive and her lips were in a tight line. I just killed her brother, and Esme's son. The whole situation dropped on me like a bag of bricks. I hurt more people than I realized.

"Come on, Charlie." She helped me up, picked up my gun and led me out of the room. I glanced back to where Edward was supposed to be and he wasn't there. There wasn't even any blood.

Bella's POV

I ran to where I last left Alice and Rosalie. They met me in the hallway right outside of the room.

I grabbed Alice by the collar of her shirt and pushed her up against the wall. Alice was struggling to get down but I was much too strong. Rosalie took a step to help Alice, but I growled, deep and menacing. She backed away slightly.

"Bella, you've got to let me down," Alice said. Her eyes were wide with fright.

"Mary Alice Brandon Cullen, how did you not see this happening?" I said pronouncing every word.

"It was a split decision. He made it about a second before he fired the gun." She struggled some more.

She stopped and had a blank look on her face. I listened in and saw Charlie sitting on the floor crying. Alice came back.

"Go," I said and let her go. I walked away, heading outside.

Edward, wherever you are, I need you, I told him. I walked out and stood in the pouring rain staring up at the sky, dry sobbing.

I felt two arms wrap around me. I turned around and saw the love of my existence. I wrapped my arms tightly around his middle and dry sobbed into his chest. The rain kept pouring and Edward rubbed circles on my back.

The rain turned to a drizzle. Both of us were soaked all the way through.

"They look just like a scene from a movie, don't they?" I looked up and saw Frankie and Ethein standing twenty feet away from us under an umbrella. I wonder what they were doing down here. The bell rang.

"Yeah," he agreed. "Come on, let's get inside before the rain picks up again and we're late for class."

"Okay." They ran inside and shook out their umbrella. I was smiling.

"What made you so happy all of a sudden, love?" Edward asked me. His brow was creased.

"I remember when I thought that same thing. It was during lunch, one of the only days that it snowed in Forks. The day you started talking to me."

He laughed. "Yes, you told me your whole life story in a matter of one look and a few minutes."

"Are we going to back to class?" I asked, changing the subject. Our arms were still wrapped around each other.

"Not right now, seeing as we're soaked."

"You're right. It's healthy to skip once in a while." He smiled the crooked smile that I love.

"Why don't we go hunting?" It's been about two weeks and your eyes are darker."

"How can you tell?" My eyes don't get darker when I'm hungry because of the Newborn red.

"You're eyes aren't exactly chocolate and living off of animal blood makes your eyes change a little."

"Okay then." I kissed him, quick and simple, and took off running towards the usual spot. Edward chased after me.

I caught the scent of a deer and let myself go over into my senses. My run changed into a predatory run and I pounced on the deer, draining it dry. I had three more and my thirst was quenched. I sat in the grass and stared up at the sky.

"You know, this meadow reminds me of the one back in Forks," Edward said from next to me. He had a thoughtful expression on his face.

I looked around the little meadow. Wildflowers were blooming even though they weren't in season. The grass swayed slightly with the light wind. The trees made a circle around the grass. There was n sign of violence. Just like our meadow in Forks.

"It does," I agreed. He kissed me and I deepened it and it soon turned to something much more. Nobody would hear us or see us. It was wonderful, just like every other time, but much, much better. There were no boundaries, no stopping points, no uncontrollable bloodlust. It was bliss.

We were lying side by side on the grass watching the sun set. The rain was far behind us and the light sun made our skin sparkle slightly.

"I'm so glad I married you," I told him.

"And I you, love."

I kissed him, but pulled back quickly, listening. "Did you hear that?" I asked him. There was leaves crunching and twigs snapping.

"Hikers, they must be coming up here to camp. We should probably leave."

"Yeah." We collected our clothes and slipped them back on. "Why don't we walked human speed, at least out of the forest because then we waste more time."

He laughed. "Fine by me."

Harry's POV

Rumors have spread throughout the school as to what happened during study hall and what happened to Bella and Edward.

Some say they were kicked out, others say they are in the Hospital Wing or in the Chamber of Secrets. I think they just skipped, although, Edward did get shot at and there wasn't any blood on the floor.

After all the commotion happened, Hermonie ran full speed to the library and naturally, Ron and I followed her. So, here we are during Care of Magical Creatures, trading Wizard Cards, while Hermonie tries to figure out what they are. Hagrid canceled the class because of the rain.

"They can run really fast, their eyes change colors, they go hiking, they don't eat, they're pale, and they look perfect."

"Don't forget, Edward's married," I said trading a Dumbledore card for a Moaning Myrtle card.

She looked up from the book. "What was that guys' name that shot at Edward?" she asked us.

"Charlie Swan, I think," Ron said.

"What's Bella's last name?"

"Swan," I said. Then dropped the card I was holding. We all locked eyes with each other.

"Bella is Mr. Swan's kid," Hermonie said.

"Why does he think that she's dead?" Ron asked.

"What of she is," I said. Hermonie flipped the book to a completely different section and started reading.

She gasped. "Vampires," she said, her eyes wide.

"Vampires?" we asked confused.

"They're vampires. All of them."

"Mr. Swan, too?" I asked.

"Well, not him, but Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper Emmett, Rosalie, Professor Cullen, and Dr. Cullen."

"He's a vampire? We have a vampire working in the Hospital Wing where there is blood every day?" Ron looked scared. "Where I went when I got hit with that Bludger last week?"

"Well, now we know why Alice and Jasper left on the train the first day," Hermonie said. She bit her lip.

"And why they never eat," I said.

"Should we tell them that we know?" Ron asked.

"Would they kill us?" I asked. To be perfectly honest, I was scared out of my mind.

"I don't know," she said. She looked around nervously.

"I just realized, they can't touch us," Ron said.

"Why?" I asked.

"We took that potion on the first day, remember?" For once Ron had a pretty good point. The bell rang.

"No it won't. I looked into it and it only works on human drinking vampires. I don't think the Cullens drink human blood." She waved her wand and the books went back to their shelves.

"Damn," Ron muttered. My shoulders slumped.

"It would have worked if they drank human blood, though," I said to him.

"Yeah."

Attention. Classes for the duration of the day are canceled. Could all students please return to their dormitories immediately. All teachers please report to the 3rd floor west corridor.

"What happened?" Ron asked.

"That's right over there, come on." We raced down the hallway and hid behind the wall, silently watching. Hermonie cast a spell on us that made us so no one could find or see us.

"Who would have done such a thing?" McGonagall asked, her brow was creased and her eyes filled with worry. The teachers were in front of whatever was on the floor.

"I think one of the Cullens did it, sir. They all very well could have. I don't trust any one of them," Snape said. His face was pure hatred. "And one of the Cullen boys and the Swan girl were gone after study hall."

"Miss. Cullen wasn't in my class today," Flitwick said.

"She was with me and Charlie," Professor Cullen said walking up. "And Bella and Edward went hunting. They'll be back tomorrow." She was confirming Hermonie's guess with every word she said.

"Then, do you know who could have done this?" Snape snapped.

Professor Cullen sniffed the air. "Vampire. It smells familiar, but I can't place it. Carlisle might know, but he's taking care of someone in the Hospital Wing."

"Where does the trail go?" Dumbledore asked her.

"Out the window. Whoever it was is long gone by now."

"What happened?" Dr. Cullen asked, walking up.

"Who does this smell like?" Professor Cullen asked him.

He sniffed the air. He stiffened. "Jane," he said simply. Jane? Who's Jane?

Professor Cullen stiffened, too. "I didn't think that they would come so soon."

"Me either."

"Who's coming?" Professor Sprout asked.

"The Volturi," Dr. Cullen said. We glanced at one another, wondering who the Volturi was. "We didn't think that we would be hearing from them so soon."

"How did this Jane person touch the girl though? On the first day of classes I had the students make a vampire repellent potion. She shouldn't have been able to touch her," Snape said.

"Jane has a…unique power. She can make others have an illusion of pain," Professor Cullen said.

"She probably didn't feel the pain because of her power," Dr. Cullen said.

"What is her name anyway? The girl that died," Professor Cullen asked.

"Erin Bruggeman. She's a Gryffindor," Dumbledore said.

"I'll contact her parents," McGonagall said. She walked away.

The other teachers walked away. A couple picked up Erin and took her somewhere else. The only people left were Professor and Dr. Cullen.

"We need to call Bella and Edward," Professor Cullen said.

"Not tonight. They need to relax. Edward was shot at and Bella's dad shot at her husband. Not the most pleasant thing. And then add the Volturi. Let's try to keep this a secret, at least for a few days."

"I agree with you, but the second Edward steps into this hallway, he'll know Jane was here."

"Tomorrow then?" Dr. Cullen asked.

"When they come back." He nodded and the both walked down the opposite hallway.

"That was interesting," Ron said.

"So, this Volturi people are after the Cullens and this Jane person killed Erin," I said.

"Looks like it," Hermonie said.

"Why does this always happen to us?" Ron asked.

"My bad luck, probably," I said.

"Maybe. We need to know why the Volturi are coming here."

"I can't believe I didn't see this coming!" Alice said from the other hallway.

"Can you see Lupin?" Jasper asked.

"Yes, he's human all the time except on a full moon, so I can still see him."

"Except on a full moon," Jasper said.

"Exactly. Although, I'm not sure why I didn't see Jane kill Erin," Alice said worried.

"It'll be fine."

"Jazz, what if I'm slipping?" She was starting to get hysteric. He rubbed his arm up and down her arm.

"Honey, everything will be fine. You were just worried about Charlie, so you just missed one."

"What if I start to miss more?" she started to cry.

"You've got to calm down, Alice. I can't help you if you don't let me." He held her in his arms.

"Sorry, Jazz. I'm just nervous is all." She relaxed in his arms.

"What was the vision you had when you were with Charlie?"

"Harry, Ron and Hermonie figured us out." Hermonie was right?!

"How?" Jasper asked. His eyes were wide.

"I'm not sure. I think Charlie helped out with that though, with shooting at Edward." Jasper sighed.

"Just like last time. Are they going to tell?" he asked.

"No decision has been made yet."

"We should go tell Esme and Carlisle, though," Jasper said. She nodded.

They walked down the hallway that we were hiding in. Jasper's arm was wrapped around Alice's tiny waist. She whipped her head around and stared right where we were standing.

"What is it?" Jasper asked.

"Nothing, nothing," Alice said. They walked around the corner.

"That was close," Ron said.

"Yes," Hermonie said.

"I can't believe that they're vampires, though," Ron said.

"Same here," I said.

Edward's POV

It was about one ten in the afternoon when we could see the castle. We stopped for a few hours and stared at the sky around three in the morning. It was wonderful to spend all this time with my Bella, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

"Edward, what's wrong?" Bella asked.

"I can't help but think that something's wrong up at the school," I told her. I rubbed little circles on her hand with my thumb.

"I know. I have that feeling, too," she said.

"Do you think we should get back to the school?" I asked her.

"If it was a real emergency than they would have called us, right?" Bella asked worried.

"Yes," I said, but I wasn't entirely sure. After all that happened they probably wanted us to relax and be happy for a little bit before everything went to hell. "Let's just enjoy ourselves out here before we have to go back."

"I guess you're right." She smiled and kissed me.

She broke away from me and looked at this figure coming towards us.

"Who is that?" she asked.

I shrugged. The figure got closer. I squinted, "It looks like Ginny."

"Yeah." She landed right by us, more like crashed by us.

We rushed over to her. Bella helped her stand up. "Are you okay?" she asked her.

"I'm fine. I think someone bewitched my broom, though." She brushed off her robes and looked up. Oh my God. Hermonie, Ron and Harry were right. They're vampires. Why else would they be all the way out here? Vampires. Oh my God, they're vampires. She took a half step back. I shared a glance with Bella. She heard Ginny's thoughts too.

"I uh have to go," she said. She grabbed her broom and lifted off, speeding back towards the castle.

"How did she find out?" Bella asked me.

"I don't know."

My phone rang. I pulled it out and saw Alice's number.

"Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry," Alice said really fast. "IwantedtotellyouthatHermonie,HarryandRonfoundout,butEsmeandCarlislewantedmetowaittillyoutwogotback. AndtheywantedmetowaittotellyouaboutJanebut—" I cut Alice off.

"What about Jane, Alice?" I growled at her through the phone.

"She killed one of the students," Alice said quietly.

Bella gasped. "She what?!" I yelled.

"And the whole school knows about us being vampires. Only a few people are scared." I was getting ready to yell at her for not calling us. "Bye," she said and hung up.

"I'm going to kill her," I growled. "She should have told us right when it happened. Carlisle should have called and told us that Jane was here." I was pacing.

"Edward, just stop," Bella said. I turned and faced her. She looked like she was about to cry, even though it was impossible. "They didn't tell us because they didn't want you to overreact like you are. I don't really care that they didn't tell us. I'm glad that they let us relax and not worry about the Volturi or Hogwarts or life. We knew that they were going to come sooner or later. They just came sooner than we expected." She stopped and started to dry sob into her hands. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her frame, holding her close. She sobbed into my chest and I rubbed her back.

"We'll get through this somehow," I whispered to her.

She started to calm down a little. "Let's just walk back. We're almost there anyway." I nodded and grabbed her hand. We walked the rest of the way back to school. Both of us worrying about what's been going on at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry while we've been gone.
