AN: thanks for those who have reviewed. There was this comment about Bella being the next dark lady. I'm sorry to disappoint but Bella isn't dark because she craved power but because she was one of the few who could wield the power that came with it. Bella will stay firmly on the light side.

Please continue to review!

Bella's POV

The shopping trip with Rosalie and Emmett turned out to be been great fun. I arranged with Rosalie to meet up at the Leaky Cauldron. I told her, that they would be able to see the entrance and wait for me there as per usual work kept me late. I was running late fifteen minutes when I stepped out of the floo.

"Bells!" Emmett yelled at me and in a flash he was hugging me and twirling me around.

"Air!" I managed to yell and sheepishly Emmett set me back on the floor.

"Oh, sorry." Emmett whispered. "I'm just so happy to see you. The others are so jealous that you wanted to see me. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, Emmett." I told him and gave him a hug. "But I do need air to function."

Rosalie laughed and hit Emmett on the head.

"I'm seriously sorry about everything that has happened, Bells." Emmett said solemnly.

"I know, it's already forgiven." I said. "I don't know why but staying angry with you is near impossible."

Emmett smiled and looked around.

"Did you know that they actually serve blood here? Just like a normal bar." Emmett said happily. "I'm going to convince Jasper to come and have a men's night here."

"Just don't come here without me or Harry at your side. Not all witches or wizards are so accepting of vampires." I told him. I dared to glance around and already saw the truth of my words. Many of Tom's guests were looking at us in shock, some even in disgust. In the far corner I saw a reporter scribbling away. I sighed as I knew tomorrow's prophet would bring another lovely story about me.

"Come, let's show you around Diagon Alley." I said. Emmett, like an over-excited puppy walked behind me and Rosalie just sighed.

I had carefully planned our tour through the Alley so that we wouldn't have to meet up with Fred and George. I seriously considered Emmett and the Twin hitting off my worst nightmare.

So, naturally we ran into the said twins.

Emmett was like a little child running around Diagon Alley. He was been pointing out all the crazy things only a muggle would notice when I saw Luna and Fred walking towards me.

"Miss Isabella!" Fred called and I groaned. "My lovely girlfriend here informs me that you are planning to keep two potential customers from me."

"Don't flatter yourself, Weasley." I told him sharply. "I am only planning on keeping one potential disaster away from your shop and its owners. Rosalie, is way too smart to part with her money in your shop."

From the corner of my eye I saw Emmett and Rosalie looking a little shocked. For the last two hours people had either approached me to ask for an autograph or glared at us and avoided us as soon as they saw the vampires. It had so far been slightly unnerving for Emmett and Rosalie. Fred was the first person to come up to us and speak with a smile.

Luna on the other hand was laughing loudly at the antics of her boyfriend.

"You wound me!" Fred yelled dramatically. "You are my sister in all but blood and yet, you are knowingly keeping away potential customers. Customers I might add with enough money to spend."

"Stop the dramatics, Fred. You know perfectly well that I do not trust you to behave." I sighed dramatically. I realized that we were drawing a crowd. A very confused crowd, as they could not understand why such a war hero wanted vampires in his shop.

"You are just as bad as Hermione. You two really need to stop hanging out." Fred sighed sadly.

"Bella, what is happening?" Rosalie asked a little confused. Emmett just looked on eagerly in the hope to see more magic. I hung my head and glared at Fred and Luna through my lashed. Any hope of keeping Emmett away from the twins was gone, now. Luna tried to look innocent but failed completely.

"Rosalie, Emm, let me introduce you to two of my friends. Luna Lovegood and Fred Weasley. Fred is a son of Molly." I said to inform Rosalie.

Luna took the chance and immediately held out her hand. Rosalie and Emmett happily accepted it. Fred followed suit and made a big production of introducing himself to Emmett. He had heard me telling about Emmett. It wasn't surprising that Fred would want to meet and get to know Emmett.

"You'll thank me for this later." Luna whispered to me as we watched Fred taking Emmett into his joke-shop.

"I don't see how. Do you have any idea what you have unleashed?"

"A minor thing." Luna waved it away. "Tomorrow the papers will report all about this and you needed to end your trip through the alley with something positive. Fred Weasley, decorated war-hero and light wizard, easily accepting two vampires into his shop full of children is a very big advertisement for vampire rights."

I sighed and nodded.

"You are right, Luna. Thank you."

We followed Emmett and Fred into the shop. Rosalie stayed with us as Luna happily talked to her about her studies into magical creatures. Luna told her about her job as a researcher and how she would very much like to rewrite the textbooks on magical creatures.

I mainly watched Emmett like a hawk. I just didn't trust Fred and George not to get Emmett in trouble. However my worries were unfounded. Before the visit ended Emmett and the twin had hit it off completely over my muggle gadget project. It appeared that Emmett knew an awful lot about muggle technologies and gadgets. More then I had thought initially. By the time we had to leave, Emmett had already started to help Fred by explaining how a mobile telephone worked.

I sighed as I realized that soon, Emmett would be here regularly. I wasn't sure if that was a comforting thought or not.
