I'm Not Your Sister

I am in no way affiliated with Stephenie Meyer, or J.K Rowling unfortunately. They own their respected characters, and respected concepts / details. I have only assumed that Harry smells good, and like peppermint, and that Ginny has a problem with Bella on sister complex experiences. I am thought at fault for not updating, and if you wish to hang me, I thoroughly encourage you, just let me finish this story, and let me see the end of this season of House, Glee, Outsourced, and The Office. K? K, thanks. The title of this chapter / chapter over all was inspired by 3OH!3, who I mother fucking love. The chapter a play on their song "I'm Not Your Boyfriend". I know Bella wish this was true for Ginny and Edward, ahahah. Ok, sorry, plot spoiler. Kinda sorta. Whatever. So, thanks, and this is my Christmas and New Years gift to you guys. It's a crappy present, but you know what, we all get crappy gifts, and pretend to love it all the more. Love you guys.

Lorri - LONG ASS RANT. I know. SHUSH. Just keep reading : )

Btw; this is like forty five fucking hundred words, and eleven pages long on word. Be proud bitches that I love oh so much. Be so proud.

Hope you guys had a great holiday ; Holiday themed chapter up next most likely.

"Mate, she's been looking for you."

"Ron, I know that, I'm not an idiot."

"You're sure acting like it. Go talk to her, before she thinks you don't like her!"

"I don't know…"

"Stop being a pansy ass."

"Shut up Ron."

"Wait… Damn , I think someone's coming."

"You think?"

"Shut up with your sarcasm for a sec.."

"It's probably Ginny, I saw her at the library, and didn't see her come back in here. Nothing new."

"Yeah, but there's another set of footprints you bloke. Listen closely."

The two boys listened up, and it was true. Ginny's footsteps weren't the only ones they heard.

"GET UNDER THE CLOAK YOU IDIOT." Harry hissed, glad he carried the thing with him everywhere now a days, and Ron scrambled from the fire in the common room to Harry's position near the love chair. They both managed to fit under the invisibility cloak, incredibly, and they both would have wondered how, when they realized the footsteps were getting closer. Harry sighed, and looked at Ron. He looked curious as to see what poor boy Ginny had managed to get a hold of, and Harry had to admit, he was a bit curious as well. They stayed still, and kept their breathing to a minimal to hear what was being said, and so they didn't draw too much attention.

"You know, I don't like having to sneak around…"

"Then you tell Bella about us."

"On second thought, this is a much better plan."

"I thought so."

Harry looked at Ron, and Ron looked at Harry. He wondered what Bella would get pissed at, but knew as soon as Ginny and Edward Cullen walked into the room. He watched the two, and noticed they seemed… Together. Like a couple. Ginny was a few steps ahead of him, but they were in sync. Almost like he followed her every move.

"Gin, did you finish your homework?"

"No, and I was going to steal your notes."

"You know, you're not going to learn a damn thing by doing that."

"I'm learning how to copy and read quickly. So shush."

"That's not a worthwhile thing to know."

"It is when you're rushing to do an essay for Potions and have a nice pretty copy in front of you."

Harry shook his head, and Ron sighed.

"She's just like you mate." He whispered to Ron, and Ron glared at Harry.

"She asks, I just take Hermione's notes."

Harry shook his head. "That's no better."

All of a sudden, Edward was right in front of them. Harry nearly doubled over, while Ron did. He hoped to all that was good in the world that the cloak would stay put, and miraculously, it did. He could see the boy right up close from where he was. Ginny looked at Edward, a bit confused.

"I thought I heard something.. Maybe it's just coming from the rooms.." He mumbled, and Ginny shook her head.

"I don't know how you can ever stand having those ears of yours. I'd go mad from all the noise I'd be hearing." She said, and Edward turned back towards her, and smiled slightly.

"It becomes background noise, static like almost."

"Then it'd be easy to get used to."

"Nuh-huh, I know where this conversation is leading to."

"You know, you'll have to change me eventually. I'm not saying tonight or tomorrow, or even next year, but come off it, I am not going to look like a cougar going out on dates with you. That's a bit repulsive."

Harry couldn't make head or foot of the conversation at that point, and he looked over at Ron to see if the other boy could understand. He looked equally confused, and Harry sighed, immediately regretting it when he saw the boy flinch. After some more debating , the couple agreed to disagree, and went to their proper rooms. Harry came out from under the cloak, and Ron followed suit.

"I can't believe it." Harry mumbled softly, and Ron nodded his head.

"I know, that carpet is not at all soft."

Harry looked at Ron, and shook his head. He went up to bed, leaving Ron in the common room, wondering why Harry looked at him if he were stupid.

"Egh, he probably didn't feel how rough the carpet was." He mumbled, before going to up to bed as well.

"Hey, Bells, wait up."

I turned, and saw Harry walk up to me. I felt my heart do a few back flips, and smiled slightly.

"Hey." I said, and noticed the look on his face. I sighed.

"What in the world did Nate do now? Because, if he used some of the Muggle stuff on you, you're going to have to wait for it to grow bac-" I said, but he cut me off.

"Bella, did you know that Edward and Ginny were seeing each other?"

Just when I opened my mouth to say cutting people off was not nice, it closed.

"You mean seeing each other, as in like dating?" I asked, looking around. Everyone seemed to be in their own little world, walking down the hallway, laughing and smiling. Fuck me.

"Seemed like it… They were talking about something like changing Ginny and all this other cra-"

"What?" I hissed, cutting him off this time. He looked at me, a bit surprised by my tone.

"Last night in the common room, me and Ron were discussing… Well, that's not important. But yeah, they came in from hell knows where, and argued about it for a while…." He said, and told me all about his little almost encounter with the… Couple? He finished the story, looking confused. I sighed. If they were arguing, that meant Edward at the least didn't like the idea of turning her. But… Why didn't Ginny tell me about them? I was seething by this point, and knew I should have talked to Gin after I talked to Rose three weeks ago.

"Right… Harry…" I said, and he looked at me.

"Thank you for telling me." I said, and he nodded. He turned to walk away, before turning back and giving me a hug.

"Meet me in my room tomorrow?" He mumbled, and I nodded, a bit surprised by the sudden gesture of… Love? Hell, I didn't know.

He grinned slightly, before walking off. Damn him, for making me soften up just when I was going to go chew Ginny's head off.

"Ginny, we need to talk." I said, as I walked into the huge room Ginny shared with 5 other girls. She raised an eyebrow, and sighed.

"I've got to meet up with someone in ten minutes, Bells, can't we talk later?" She said, avoiding eye contact with me, looking through some bag or another of hers. I was glad we were alone in the room, because I knew the bitch fight was about to start.

"To meet up with Edward, even after what I told you?" I said, and she froze immediately. She put the bag down, and looked up at me, and I was kind of taken back by the look in her eyes. She looked… Angry?

"Bells, that's none of your business." She said briskly, and I laughed, shaking my head.

"It is when I know what that ass is capable of." I argued, and she glared at me.

"Look. I'm sorry that he left you. Believe me, I am. But don't call him an ass, that's far from what he is." Ginny said, apparently getting pissy with me. I shook my head.

"You're not sorry Gin, it's written all over your face. Not about that anyways. You're sorry about the fact that I found out this way." I said, my tone cool, and she looked at me.

"Not everything is about you!" She hissed, and I just looked at her.

"Get it through your head Bella. Not everything is about you, ok? I've had enough of this bull shit."

I looked at Ginny. Ginny, my sister. I never knew she was so… Angry at me. No, angry wasn't even the word. She was down right upset, pissed even.

"Gin, calm down. If you want to talk about something, we'll talk later. I was just here to tell you about Ed-"

"Damn it, shut up and listen to me Isabella!" She half yelled at me, and I narrowed my eyes.

"Don't you yell at me Ginerva." I said, and she laughed.

"Yelling? It's better than talking. Because you know what, I've been doing that for my whole life. And you know what, you never seem to clue in. Your clothes became mine. Your friends became mine. And you know what, I liked Harry. I don't know how you missed it, or even if you did at all! And here he is, following you like a damn lap dog! I'm sick and tired of being in your god damn shadow. And, you know what, you're right. I'm not sorry. But, I'm not sorry you found out this way. Because you know what, I don't give a fuck anymore." She yelled at me, and I just stood there. When the hell did this happen? She took a deep breath, before shaking her head.

"Just leave me alone Swan." She said, putting emphasis on the Swan part. "Leave me and Edward alone."

Ginny opened the door, about to leave, before turning her head.

"You know, Edward was protecting you by not telling you. I wanted to tell you, but he knew you'd go psychotic bitch on all of us like you are now, trying to meddle into everything good in my life. You may think of him as an ass, but that's only because he left you. Face it Bella. For once, someone chose me instead of you."

She slammed the door after that, and I felt like she had just slapped my face. I stood there, and almost couldn't believe it. Ginny had never talked to me about Harry, or about her feeling so… Low. I looked at her bag, and realized it was the purse I had given to her for her 12th birthday. And next to it was… A photo of her and Edward. How lovely. How mother fucking lovely.

"Rosalie, tell your brother to leave Ginny alone." I said as I walked into her room, and instead of seeing a blonde vampire, I saw two brunette ones, and a copper haired one. Fuck me.

"Rose is out, Bella." Alice said, and I looked at Emmett. He nodded, and I sighed. I looked at Edward, and he looked at me.

"Ginny told me about your… Falling out." He mumbled, and I shook my head.

"Don't mumble when you talk to me Cullen, look at me like a fucking man, and not at the ground." I said, and Alice looked at me, a bit amused. I turned toward her next.

"Don't you dare look even remotely amused, this is probably all your fault!" I hissed, knowing she should have seen this happen . All of it.

"Bella, don't take out your anger on me." She said, and I laughed.

"This is ridiculous. Guess what Alice? I'm not taking it out on you, I'm showing you it, because you're part of the source! I don't know where you to get off, coming here, making my home a hell hole again. Didn't you get enough back at Forks? Manipulating the little human to think you loved her, to think she was your best friend, your sister. It was fun, until you came here. Just go to hell, both of you." I said, getting everything off my chest. Edward looked tired, and for once looked his age. Cradle robber, I thought, not giving thought that he used to be my cradle robber a while ago. Technicalities aren't really present when you're pissed as hell.

"Emmett, if you could please tell Rose what just happened, and tell her thank you." I said to him sweetly, and saw Alice's face. Pinched up and hurt. How strange to see it on her usually ecstatic or happy face. How good it felt to see it that way.

"I'm sorry Bella." I heard someone whisper, and I knew it was Edward. Instead of giving him an answer, I just let him watch my ass walk out of there.

Rosalie came in to the room, and was greeted with a brooding vampire, a tired looking vampire, and a slightly amused vampire. She tackled the slightly amused on first, and sat on Emmett's lap.

"Emmett, what happened?" She asked tentatively, and Emmett laughed a bit.

"Bella just about chewed tweedle dee and tweedle dum over there. I've gotta admit, that girl's got a mouth on her. I like it." He said, and Edward just stared at Emmett, and Alice glared at him.

"Did she now.. I guess she knows about Edward sleeping with good old Ginerva then." Rose said, amused a bit. She knew Bella had it in her, but didn't think she'd actually go out on a limb, and curse Edward and Alice to hell.

"Yep, she came in here upset from the fight her and Ginerva had. I think she blames Edward for the sisters falling out, and therefore came to pick a bone with him. Alice got in the mix, and she basically shunned them to hell."

"Well, Alice, Edward, I hope you two learned your lesson." Rose said, and Alice glared at her now.

"We did nothing. At least, I didn't." She said coolly, and Rose looked at her adoptive sister.

"Alice, when was the last time you even talked to Bella? Oh, wait, that was back in September, after your husband almost killed her. It's early December now. Don't you think she assumes the worst of you now? I won't even talk about Edward, he's sleeping with her younger sister." Rose stated, and Emmett sighed, knowing Edward was going to say he wasn't sleeping with her.

Everyone looked at Edward expectantly, when Emmett put his mouth into a little 'o'.

"Bro, you did not sleep with your ex's little sister."

"Edward, that's disgustingly low for you, seeing how head over heels in love said ex was with you. Jeez, you weren't willing to sack her after a year, but sacking her little sister after less than three months, oh yeah, definitely." Rose hissed, and Edward looked at her.

"Remember when you found Emmett, and how you immediately fell in love with him?" Edward said, and Rosalie stiffened, remember seeing her husband mauled and dying.

"It's not the same." She said quietly, and Edward looked a bit triumphant.

"I love Ginny. And she loves me. End of story." Edward said, as if it were really that simple.

"You know, the only option you have left is to change her." Rosalie said, tired of her brother's bull shit.

"I know." Edward stated, and Rosalie shook her head.

"You're a fucking hypocrite. You wouldn't sleep with Bella because you wanted to wait till marriage. And I don't see a ring on Weasley's finger, and I'm sure I'm not blind now. You wouldn't change Bella, even though she was willing to throw her whole life away for you. She was tortured by vampires, almost killed. All for your sorry ass." Rosalie said, and Emmett could tell this was about to get ugly.

"What's it to you Rosalie, you hated her. If anyone's the hypocrite, it's you." Edward said, and Rosalie smiled slightly at that.

"Unlike you, I've made peace with Bella. And unlike you, I'm not screwing her sister, or slowly pushing a divide between her and her sister. She's going to regret it one day Edward; You'll change her, Bella will hate her, and she'll regret it."

Rosalie got up, and opened the door.

"Now get the hell out of my room."

He paced back and forth, back and forth, wondering just where she was. He knew it was stupid to not check the mauraders map, but he felt like it was too intrusive to check just where she was exactly. Besides, he knew she'd show up. She'd never ditch him, they were too close for that. She might be ten minutes late, but she'd get there somehow, sometime. He waited, and soon he heard some rustling. The door opened, and the clock above it said 3 o'clock. She was right on time, he noted, getting more and more nervous. He could feel the smile little smile he had reflect his nervousness, and saw she had the same small smile on her own face. He looked her over, noting the small little things that made her her. Her soft lips, occupied by a pale, warm pink color. Same as her cheeks. Her skin was pale, smooth, flawless. Her eyes were an incredibly warm shade of brown, doe like. He could tell she was surveying him as well, from the look in her eyes. He took a hesitant step forward, and he noticed her watching him. The look in her eyes stopped him in his tracks. She was sad. Very sad. Slowly, he made his way over to her.

He brushed his fingers across her cheek, then her lips, and they slowly touched the necklace she wore. It was a delicate silver necklace, the chain a small thread like thing. The pendant was of an 'i', and he could tell it had been hers for years. He knew it had been hers for years. He gave her the small necklace on her 13th birthday. Her eyes had closed when his fingers had touched her face, and they were still closed as he carefully felt the smooth, metallic feel of her necklace. He looked at her.

"Bells.. Open your eyes."

It was a soft whisper, but Bella could feel the intensity behind the words. She wanted to open her eyes, so much. Silence consumed the room soon, before she opened her mouth.

"I… I'm scared." She finally breathed out, "I feel like if I open them… Everything will have just been a dream. Everything's a huge mess, me and Ginny are fighting… And yet here I am, feeling kind happy for the first time in 24 hours. I don't think I want to go back to where all I think of is Ginny and what she said to me. Everything feels so chill here, so right. So… incredibly right ." She whispered, and felt Harry let go of her necklace. It bounced slightly back on to her neck, and suddenly she could feel his body even closer to her own. His peppermint scent invaded her senses, and she felt like she was getting drunk.

"I'm right here Bells, and you'll see me when you open your eyes. I'll still be here, and I'll be here to listen about the thing with Ginny." Harry said softly, and Bella blindly looked for the tie of his uniform, and was soon greeted by the smooth, silk feel of it. Tugging it, she pulled Harry's face down to her own, and soon felt his lips on hers. It was a soft, sweet kiss, one she knew would change everything. Slowly, she pulled away, and opened her brown eyes, meeting a pair of green ones.

"This is real." Bella said, not caring how stupid she sounded. Harry's lips turned up slightly, and he pulled her in for a hug.

"It is real…. " He mumbled, kissing the top of her head. They both stood there, sunlight pouring in through the windows. He could feel her heart beat, and she could feel his. There was something so… Personal and intimate about it. Hearing the thud thud thud feel of it, to be able to feel that with him so close to her.

"Want to talk about Ginny?" He whispered, and she shook her head.

"I don't want to ruin this moment with that right now… You know what this means right?" Bella mumbled, and Harry laughed.

"Yep. After a gazillion 'I told you so's from our darling wolf pack, everyone will be talk-"

"You did not just use a term from The Hangover."

"Bella, I'm not a bloke to American comedy."

"I think I may just love you."

"You'd love me regardless."

She just smiled, not bothering to respond. Just when he opened his mouth to say something in remarks of her not say anything, the door opened, and they both wondered who in the fuck just ruined the nice moment.

"Darling, I knew it! Awwww, you two are just so effing cute. Harry, you know you have to name a little Potter after me- jeez, Bells, fine, maybe a little Potter-Swan. Happy now? Honestly. I'm sure Ron won't mind. Speaking of which, him and Hermione will rip me a new one if I don't kindly alert them of this soon. Ooh, I smell gossip in the air for you two. Hmmm…"

Bella glared at the man she called her twin brother, while Harry just sighed. They disentangled themselves from each other, and settled on holding hands. She opened her mouth, but didn't beat her brother to the punch.

"Right, well, egh. With you guys looking so damn adorable, everyone will know just by looking at you two. Anyhow, cheerio, me and Pam are off to Hogsmeade. I'll be sure to tell Hermione and Ron. Haha, like what I did there? Cheerio? Oh, Americans, how they mock us. 'Right on dude!'. Honestly, I don't get it. Anyways, meet us up at Three Brooms, Fred and George are in town, and I'm sure they'll love to see the couple of the moment."

With all of that out of his mouth, Nathaniel turned to leave. As he opened the door, he turned back at the couple, and grinned.

"No funny monkey business!" he said, before shutting the door, scared his sister would throw her shoe at him. Wouldn't be the first time. Soon, the room was deadly quiet, and the couple matched in the blushing department from Nathaniel's little rant. They turned to each other, and soon the room was just filled with laughter.

"You know I may just love your brother." He said, shaking his head. Bella looked at him, a small glare in her eyes, her mouth set in a tiny smile.

"You may, but I have a feeling I'll be the only Swan left in a couple of hours." She said innocently, and he laughed. Harry grabbed his coat, and they both went downstairs. Bella went to her room, searching for a jacket to go out into the cold with, while Harry waited for her patiently downstairs. Putting on a green little jacket, she rushed downstairs, and kissed Harry on the cheek, before he put his arm around her.

Everyone was whispering, first to seventh years. She ignored them, and thought of Ginny's words. I couldn't stop her from seeing Edward, and I couldn't stop her becoming heartbroken. At this point, I realized, we weren't sisters anymore. We were just two girls. I was the ex, and she was the current girlfriend. While we weren't fighting for Edwards love, it was still equally as crazy. I knew off the bat she wouldn't go home for Christmas, or come home at all. She'd follow Edward, and he'd let her. I don't know which scared me even more, the fact that she was willing to throw her family away for him, or the fact that he'd let her.

I now knew why he didn't want to change me. He was ripping me away from the little family he thought I had left; and for those months, I hadn't been concerned about Mum, or dad, or Nate, or anyone else. I was ready to give him all of me. And I knew Ginny would feel the same thing. I just wondered if she really knew what she was getting herself into.

"You ok?" Harry asked me, and I looked up at him, before kissing him.

"Perfect." I said, and we were soon outside, past Filch's 'inspection', me snuggled into him. I thought I saw something move across in the forest, and knew it was Edward. No doubt with Ginny on his back.

"Be careful Cullen." I mumbled so quietly, Harry couldn't hear me, but I knew Edward could.

"Be very careful…"
