Disclaimer: Own nothing

Hermione sat next to Edward at the kitchen table. She had no idea where Cody was; he hadn't come home last night and Edward said he was out tracking, although tracking what exactly she didn't know. Elden was stirring some porridge that was cocking over the fireplace in front of the table. She and Edward had been out all morning trying to find enough food for Harry and the Weasleys.

Hermione avoided looking at her wizard friends. She kept her eyes on the porridge that Elden was stirring as if she was entirely fascinated by it. She knew they would want to talk to her, but really couldn't explain anything; it was or their own safety, if the very lest.

She moved her eyes from the porridge to peer at Harry and Ron through her eye lashes. They were talking to each other in soft voices. She felt a stag of guilt and something similar to fear. What would they think of her fate? Would they be disgusted? Worried? Or would they care at all? Could they even talk to her after all this?

She remembered the look Ron had given her two nights ago and the memory stung at her heart. She knew that Harry would feel the same; hurt and betrayed. But she had kept secrets from them for their own goods. She knew she would be able to trust them, but what would happen to Cody and Edward and all the others if they were discovered for what they were? Would they feel threatened? She knew they were angry for being lied to.

Suddenly Ron looked up and met her gaze. She held his look for a moment but it stung at her so much. It was pure rage and hate. Harry, also seeing Ron's face, followed his friend's gaze and Hermione met Harry's gaze too. She didn't want to see what was in his eyes as well so she dropped hers and turned to Edward.

"I think they hate me," she whispered very softly in his ear

"No, not hate," murmured Edward, "The black haired one is just annoyed and frustrated, more confused. He will probably forgive you if you gave him an explanation. The red haired one, he is angry but also a little jealous."

Hermione felt her eyes narrow and she hissed low in Edward's ear again, "it's not my fault!"

Edward gave her a sideward glanced and breathed quietly, "I know."

"Breakfast is almost done my dears," said Elden, interrupting the soft conversations that were happening, "Ed, you not hunger?"

Edward shook his head and said, "I'm not that desperate Elden."

"Ha!" was all Elden said, while turning back to the fireplace.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Harry watched as Hermione quickly turned her brown eyes away from him and Ron and she whispered something very low in Edward's ear.

"It's her own fault!" hissed Ron, "she's the one who lied to us!"

"There has to be some sort of excuse," replied Harry quietly, "Ron, we know her better then this. She wouldn't have lied so much to us if she didn't have a valid reason!"

Ron didn't reply, just muttered something angrily under his breath. Harry opened his mouth to continue the conversation when Elden said, "Breakfast is almost done my dears. Ed, you not hunger?"

Harry looked over at Edward, who shook his head and said, "I'm not that desperate Elden."

Harry's brow frowned in confusion, what was that suppose to mean? He though back to the dream he had the other night and Hermione's voice rang in his head, I knew it was a bad idea to live with a houseful of bloodsuckers!

She had said that to Cody and Edward. Ginny had said it was a common insult for vampires.

Then Harry remembered something Elden had told them about a vampire had come to ask Elden for help for his children because issues were arising! Vampire Children! And Elden just now, asking Edward, if he was hungry and Edward said, I'm not that desperate. Not that desperate to eat food!

No, thought Harry, they couldn't be, unless…they…were vampires!

Suddenly as if Harry had called his name Edward's head snapped up to met Harry's stare. His cobalt eyes were brightly electric, stabbing into his very gaze, as if he were reading every thought that passing through his mind; they narrowed into dangerous and furious slits…

"GET OFF THE TABLE WILL YA!"

A sudden roar made Harry jump and moved his eyes from Edward's to snap up to Elden who was yelling. An animal, from the look of it, shot off the table at high speed.

"Bloody stupid thing!" muttered Elden angrily, "I have told him a thousand times! Not on the table! No bloody manners!"

Harry watched as Hermione and Edward looked down at the floor between them and he heard a loud, 'meow'

Gracefully and gently a light brown haired cat jumped from the ground into Hermione's lap. It had a strangely structured face; very handsomely, pointed look and a thin build. But it was something else that caught Harry's attention; the bright yellow colour of the cat's eyes.

A chilling feeling settled in the pit of his stomach; they were the exact colour he'd seen when he'd seen that person watching him in the alleyway back outside the Inland, just before he had that strange illusion of Voldemort. He watched as the cat's eyes scanned the room, its light brown tail flicked side to side.

The cat's eyes went to Elden, in an almost checking and gleeful way, and silently jumped back onto the table and moved in front of Edward. The cat's eyes seemed to glow even brighter as Edward turned his eyes to the feline.

After a few silent seconds Edward's eyes widened and a panicked looked came upon his handsome brown face. He stood up quickly and at the same time the cat bounced elegantly from the table top and Edward moved from the room without a word, with the cat trotting along at his feet.

Harry and Ron exchanged glances with each other in response to Edward's strange reaction.

"Here we are my dears," said Elden, "Breakfast is ready."

He turned while holding the pot handles in his hands and placed it down on the table. To Harry it didn't go unnoticed the fact that Elden did not notice Edward's sudden absences and how Hermione did not bother to mention it to him.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Tell me!" demanded Edward sharply, "what happened?!"

Before him stood Cody; he looked tried, even for a fed vampire. His light brown hair was messy, his clothes were tangled a little and he was even paler then usual.

"I followed them. I have good news and bad news…" he said quietly

"Bad news first," insisted Edward impatiently

"They know she's back," he replied, "They know she's still human. The wolves are trying to locate us; they are trying to band together with a coven to get into this area, so they can sniff us out. Because the wolves can't come into our territory they are going to try and get some vampires to follow her scent, or ours or Elden's."

"Shit," cursed Edward his forehead creasing, "fucking shit!"

Cody gave a tired and cold laugh, "yeah, big shit!"

"What sort of vampires are they trying to get? Who's going to want to help them?" asked Edward

"I don't know," said Cody, "Properly the stronger and larger covens I'm guessing. Those that would want her. The wolves are planning on having a simple exchange. Whoever finds us first and changes her can have her."

"Bloody fucking werewolves," snarled Edward, "The good news?"

"They still haven't found us and the protection my dad left on this house will stop them from coming anywhere near here," said Cody

"She's not always in the house Cody," Edward reminded him, "She will have to have someone with her all the time; either me, you, Natty or Belina. Someone will have to be with her to protect her, just in case. If you could just change her then that would solve so many problems. It's not safe for her to remain human, Elden knows this. Not with so many others after her."

"I suppose it would cause problems everywhere if you look at it," said Cody, "If we don't change her the wolves won't be happy but if we do then the other covens will be out to destroy us, especially the Alusta clan, they won't like that fact that we would hold such a powerful creature, they'll want her for themselves."

"Too right," agreed Edward in a hushed voice

"What do you think we should do?" asked Cody cautiously

Edward was silent for a moment before answering, "Don't tell Hermione, not yet. I don't think she'd be able to handle everything at the moment, not with her being in denial and not really understanding any of this. Elden has some business tomorrow night; I'll go with him and tell him about it then. You go now and see Natty and Belina and tell them everything."

"Gotcha," replied Cody, giving Edward a nod.

Yeah, I know it's kinda short and all but I wanted to break up the chapters a bit! Anyways, I hope you liked it! Please, please review!
