Hey everyone!

Here's the next chapter.

Again I want to thank Brittz303 for beta reading it!

Stupid Mind Reading Vampire

Today was the day of the Gryffindor Quidditch Trials and I had every plan of impressing Bella and getting onto the team so that I could spend more time with her. She stood in front of most of Gryffindor looking as beautiful as ever and holding a school broom, something about not wanting to ruin her new one.

"First I want you to all fly two laps around the pitch in groups," she announced, loudly.

She blew her whistle, making my family and I flinch, and a group of small girls took off the ground. Bella sent that group straight to the stands after they landed. Several of the first few groups were also sent to the stands by Bella. A couple of groups are that people finally managed to stay on their broom the whole two laps while going at a decent speed.

Emmett, Jasper, Bella's friends – Harry, Ron and Ginny – and I were the last group left to fly. As Bella turned to look at us, a glorious smile spread across her face and she blew her whistle. Our whole group took off much faster than any one else, while Emmett, Jasper and I made sure not to use vampire speed. We completed the two laps quickly before landing perfectly on the ground.

"Nice," Bella said with the smile still on her face.

She turned to face everyone else.

"Anyone trying out for beaters stand over there," she pointed to the other side of the pitch and a group of about ten people walked over. Emmett and Jasper were standing over there, sizing up their competition.

Bella turned to the box of Quidditch balls and grabbed her broom. Everyone in school seemed to think that she was exceptional on a broom and I couldn't wait to see it. She pulled out three beaters' bats and handed one each to two boys standing near Emmett and Jasper, while keeping one.

"In the air," Bella told the two boys she had given the bats two and both of them jumped on their brooms and followed her command.

Bella turned around to look at the rest of us and yelled, "Everyone else is to stay on the ground."

Bella stepped back towards the box of Quidditch balls and released the bludgers and they shot out of the box and straight up into the air. I watched in amazement as Bella kicked off the ground and flew up into the air. She did it so gracefully and easily, almost like she was meant to fly. She certainly wasn't the clumsy girl she'd pretended to be back in Forks.

"Right," Bella said as she positioned her self opposite the two boys. "I want you to aim the bludgers through the goal posts when they come near you."

Both boys nodded, I could tell from both their thoughts that they were nervous. Right then a bludger launched its self over one of the boys' heads and aimed straight for Bella. She'd obviously seen it coming, though, as she swung the beaters' bat that she still held and hit the bludger straight through the goal post on the other side of the pitch.

I stared at her in amazement, not many people could do that, – especially not a seeker – only really strong beaters were usually able to.

"Go!" Bella called as she dodged another wild bludger.

The first few groups managed to hit the ball hard and fast but none of them were very accurate, which I knew could be crucial in a Quidditch game.

"Emmett! Jasper!" Bella yelled down at them with a smile on her face. "Get up here!"

She hit another bludger easily out of her way as Emmett and Jasper flew up and stopped in front of her.

"You know what to do," she said softly to them. "Go for it."

Jasper and Emmett both flew off after the bludgers almost instantly and quickly both of them got a bludger through the goal posts. The crowd started cheering, realizing quickly how good they were.

Bella returned to the ground after Emmett got about his sixth bludger through the goal posts. She landed right next to me, giving me an excellent chance to compliment her.

"You're not a bad beater yourself," I told her.

She turned to look at me with a slightly guarded expression, but took the compliment gracefully.

"Thanks," she said softly. "I'll always be a seeker, though."

There was a short silence between us until she continued, "It's in my blood."

Our eyes met and I grinned, amused at her, "Your blood?"

She returned my grin with a smile, "My dad was a seeker. They say he was the best Hogwarts ever saw."

Bella looked away from me then and back up at my brothers as the crowd became even louder.

She laughed slightly, "I think they've done enough showing off."

She blew her whistle and Jasper and Emmett returned to the ground, high-fiving each other once they landed. Bella kicked off the ground next to me and I watched as she caught both the bludgers and returned them to the box of Quidditch balls.

"Keepers in the air," she said once she'd put the bludgers back. She reached into the box again and this time, took out the Quaffle.

She then turned to Harry and Ginny, "Would you two mind helping me out?"

Both of her friends agreed and they took off into the sky.

Eventually all of the keepers had been tested and I'd seen that Bella was just a good a chaser as a beater. I honestly wondered what she was like as a seeker.

Bella asked Ron to stay with her as she sent the other keepers to the stands and by every ones' performances I'd say that Bella was planning on keeping Ron as the team's keeper.

She then called for the chasers and I got onto my Nimbus 2001 and flew up and came to a stop next to Harry and Ginny.

"I want you in groups of three," Bella called out. Everyone instantly split up and I joined Harry and Ginny in a three.

Each group slowly took turns to get the Quaffle past Ron and not many were able to. Harry, Ginny and I were up next. I took the Quaffle from Bella and passed it to Harry, who tricked his best friend and managed to get it passed him.

Edward – Jasper thought to me suddenly, after I'd managed to get my third goal past Ron, with a grin on his face – look at Bella.

I turned around to look at her to see her looking at me with a grin on her face, she turned quickly though so that it didn't look like she'd been watching me, but I saw it.

She's feeling awed – he told me, amused.

He was laughing at me in his head now and I personally was in an all around better mood. Bella was awed by me. Well, that was a start.

I got a fourth goal, Ginny got two and Harry got another before Bella told all the chasers to return to the ground.

Bella stepped forward and spoke so that the whole pitch could hear her – even the people in the stands.

"Our keeper, for the second year in a row, is Ron." They crowd erupted in cheers, happy with the choice.

"Our new beaters are Emmett and Jasper," she stated as another loud cheer came from the stands.

"And our chasers this year," she called and I held my breath, "Are Ginny, Harry and Edward."

I let out the breath, happily grinning, as the crowd cheered again.

"Congratulations," she smiled at us as those who didn't get in, left the pitch. "You all did really well today and I expect to see you all here Monday after school for our first training session."

We were on our way back to the changing rooms when Bella spoke again, "Oh and a warning to all of you. Be careful around the Slytherin players, we all know that they like to cheat.

"No one will be getting any of us," I told her confidently once her friends were inside the change room. I tapped the side of my head to prove my point.

She turned on her heel and walked into the change room. As the door swung shut behind her she muttered, "Stupid mindreading vampire."

Jasper and Emmett burst out laughing and I chuckled.

God, I loved that woman.

Thanks for reading!

I wont be updating for a week as I go away on school camp tomorrow!

After that I have a week were I can update before my half-yearly exams and that will possibly stop me from updating for that week.

After that, though, everything will (hopefully) go back to normal.

Please stay with my stories for the next couple of weeks while my life gets really busy.

Review,

Mel
