Chapter 10

BPOV

I apparated the 4 of us to Italy, just outside of Volterra. I told Esme and Rosalie that we were leaving the country, but I didn't say where we were going. We started walking towards the center of the city, toward the clock tower where we would find the Volturi guard.

"Why did you say we were here again?" Ron asked as we walked through the streets.

"I didn't." I replied quickly. I felt Harry's nervousness through our connection and felt bad for keeping him in the dark. But I couldn't let him know what I was doing. If he did, he wouldn't let me do it.

We reached the square and walked around the fountain to the clock tower. We walked to the alley beside the clock tower and I was happy to see that there were 3 guard there. I walked right to them and stood with my hands on my hips in front of them.

"I need to see Aro." I said. They moved their hoods slightly and I noticed that they were Jane, Alec and Felix.

"How do you know of him? And why is your scent so familiar?" Jane asked with a sneer. She smiled at me and I knew she was trying to use her power. She smiled at Hermione, then Harry, getting no results. She then smiled at Ron, who fell to the floor screaming. I whipped my wand out. "Stupefy!" I said. A red light shot out of my wand and hit her dead in the chest, making her stumble and lose her concentration.

"What was that?" Alec hissed, stepping towards me.

"That was just a small fraction of what I will do if you don't take me to Aro." I snapped. "Fair warning, I can set you on fire with 1 word."

"Who are you?" Felix asked in a bored monotone.

"I am the person that you really should listen to." I said, stepping towards them. "Now take me to Aro before I blow you up."

"This way." Jane snapped. We followed them to the grate and dropped down. Hermione and Ron were nervous about it, but they trusted me and jumped anyway. Harry just trusted me and jumped straight away. We followed the vampires through the halls and into the main room. Aro, Marcus and Caius were sat in their thrones with guards around them.

"Man this is creepy." Ron murmured.

"Ron, do me a favor." I said to him. "Shut up."

"Well, what do we have here? A little early for feeding isn't it?" Aro said in a happy voice. Is there anything he isn't happy about?

"They wanted to talk to you." Jane said to him. "The black haired girl asked for you by name." She put her hand in Aro's so he could see what happened.

"What is he doing?" Harry asked no one in particular.

"He's reading her thoughts. His power lets him hear every thought you've ever had and nothing is ever hidden from him." I said. Aro looked at me and stood up, walking towards me.

"And how is it you know so much about me and my coven my dear?" He asked.

"3rd year stuff. Your coven is talked about in most defense against the dark arts books." I said, crossing my arms across my chest.

"Defense against the dark arts? Who are you?" He asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, did I forget to mention? I'm a witch." I said with a shrug.

"Witches don't exist." Caius sneered from his seat.

"Oh, so Vampires exist, but witches and wizards don't? Would you like a demonstration?" I pulled my wand back out of my boot, making some of the guard step away from me. Renata, Aro's personal guard, stepped closer to him.

"Humor us." Marcus said, sounding extremely bored.

"Ok then." I pointed my wand towards Demitri, who suddenly looked worried. "Wingardium leviosa." He lifted into the air and shouted in surprise. Everyone took a step away from me and I decided to have a little fun. I made him spin in a circle before hanging him upside down.

"Bells?" Hermione said. "I think you made your point."

"Oh, right." I murmured, letting Demitri down. "Sorry, got carried away."

"Amazing." Aro murmured. "Do these powers remain when a witch becomes a vampire?" He asked, taking a step towards me.

I stood my ground and pointed my wand at him. "Try it and I blow you up before you can say 'vampire'." I snapped. He laughed. I wonder if he is crazy.

"Wonderful." He mrumured. "I must ask though. How is it you remind me of a young lady I met before?"

"It doesn't matter." I said, not ready to let him know who I am. "Anyway. There is a reason I came here."

"What is it you need?" He asked, deliberately avoiding the question.

"We need your help." I said, making his eyes sparkle.

"No we don't." I turned to look at Harry who walked towards me. "We don't need them! We can do this on our own!"

"Harry! He has the elder wand! We need all the help we can get." I said. I showed him my plan through our connection and he sighed.

"Ok, it's a good plan. But I still don't like it." He murmured. I turned back to Aro to see him watching us in wonder.

"How is it you are able to communicate like that?" He asked.

"We're twins. We have a connection." I said. "Anyway, we need your help to save our kind from an evil wizard."

"An evil wizard? A bit cliché don't you think?" Caius commented as he stood up and walked over. "Why would we help you?"

"Because I am the girl that can either end your miserable existence or prevent your eventual end." I snapped to him. "Now will you help or not?"

"What do we get out of it?" Marcus asked, getting up and walking over to us. Seems even he is interested.

"Our kind will destroy any Vampire they set eyes on." I said to him. I could feel Harry wondering what I was going to offer. "Actually, the good side will kill vampires with red eyes after asking them questions, but the dark side will most likely try to recruit you."

"Before we say anything else," Harry interrupted. "We need to know whose side you are on. Have you ever dealt with our kind before?"

"Your kind?" Cauis asked, looking slightly confused, but mainly interested.

"Witches and Wizards." Hermione replied.

"We did encounter one wizard a few years back." Aro said, looking reminisant. "It was just after Carlisle left us. I believe his name was Albus something."

"Albus? Do you mean Albus Dumbledore?" I asked.

"Yes that is it." He replied. How old was Dumbledore?

"Anyway, I need you to help us stop the Dark Lord." I said

"The Dark Lord?" Marcus asked, starting to look bored again. "What is his real name?"

"His real name is Tom Riddle. But he is known among our kind by another name. A name that when said out loud will make his followers appear and probably kill us." I said to him. "He is trying to take over and my brother and I are the only ones that can kill him."

"What does this have to do with us?" Caius asked. "If you two are the only ones who can kill him then why do you need our help?"

"Because there is one thing left we need to find in order to kill him. And the second we get close to him, his followers take our wands and he will most likely kill us before we could do anything." Harry said. He stood by my side, an indication that he would not let me do this alone.

"So, we need a distraction." I finished. The 3 shared a look, seeming confused.

"A distraction? What distraction?" Aro asked.

"Do you have someone that can create illusions?" I asked, Harry and I wearing our matching smirks, the one Hermione doesn't trust.

Aro raised his head a little and smiled. "What sort of illusions?" He asked.

EPOV

Esme and Rosalie arrived yesterday. We still didn't know where Bella and her friends were, but we were a little pre-occupied at the minute. We were searching the school at night to try and find the student's hiding place. We found a corridor on the 3rd floor that seems to have a hidden room, but we had no idea how to get in. We had heard talk that a group of students from 3 of the houses were using the room as a hiding place and that 3 students who weren't meant to be in the school were hiding out there and going to the kitchen for food when there was no one around.

"Edward. Minerva wants to see us." Carlisle said, walking into the cabin with Esme. "She said to meet in the greenhouse."

"Ok. Let's go." Emmett said, grabbing my arm and dragging me across the school grounds. We walked into the greenhouse and saw the green clad witch waiting for us. "Hey Mini." Emmett said to her, earning a slap from Esme.

"Mr Cullen. While I am happy that you are comfortable here, I do not appreciate the nickname." She replied. "Do you have any news on the students?"

"We know that they are hiding somewhere in the castle. We followed their scents to a corridor on the 3rd floor, but they seem to vanish through a wall. Apparently, 3 students that aren't supposed to be here are hiding there." Carlisle said.

"3 students? I suppose one is Miss Lovegood. Did you say the 3rd floor?" She asked.

"Yeah. Just past the tapestry." Jasper replied.

"The room of requirement." She muttered, smiling. "At least they are safe. Thank you. Don't worry about trying to get in. You won't be able to."

"What do you want us to do then?" Emmett asked.

"I need you to patrol the school. Make sure the student's aren't in danger. But stay away from the dementors." She said before walking back to the castle.

Here you go guys! Hope you like it. I am starting to run out of ideas and I won't be able to update as much as I am re-sitting my first year of A-Levels and I need to make sure I pass. Writing is a nice distraction from all the shit in my life, but I think that I need to distract myself with work now.

Thank you all for sticking with me this far! You guys are amazing!
