What Shattered Dreams Can Lead To

Chapter Eleven: Hello Bella!

She loved living with Carlisle. Every morning she would awake to his face smiling at her and every night she'd fall asleep in his arms. It had been a month since she moved in and Bella was coming to Charlie's house that night. Hermione had a great day. Since it was Sunday, Carlisle had the day off and they spent the entire day going over plans for their upcoming wedding. They would be getting married on the last day of May so she could be changed at the very beginning of the summer. Then, she'd have the next 3 months to get used to blood. If she was fully ready after that, she would be able to go back and teach, if not, they'd move and she'd get used to being around human blood for awhile somewhere else.

"Carlisle, are you sure you're not bored? You can go, Alice will help me finish up."

"I'm fine. As long as I'm with you, I don't care what we do." Hermione smiled at him and kissed him quickly, before she went back to work. Alice looked between them both and smiled.

"You are perfect for each other."

"Thank you Alice."

"You're very wel-" She paused, going into a vision. About a minute later, she shook her head and looked between them both nervously.

"Alice?" Hermione asked, touching the smaller girl's shoulder. Alice flinched and began mumbling about her vision.

"Edward...girl, Bella...bite...singer...maybe not, bloodlust...overcome?"

"Alice, Alice...ALICE!" She shook out of her murmurings and looked curiously at Hermione.

"Yes?"

"What was your vision about?" By now, everyone was gathered together around the 3 of them.

"Yeah, Alice." Emmett grinned, excited. He was always excited about some new information, especially if it involved a fight. "Was it a fight?" Typical Emmett. Hermione rolled her eyes goodnaturedly at him and he smiled back joyously at her. Edward gasped and caused them all to look up at him sharply. "Eddie?"

"Bella comes to school tomorrow, I will either attack her, or ignore her. Her blood, effects me so much...Like-"

"Like Carlisle with Hermione." Jasper finished, putting the pieces together. Rosalie and Emmett nod understandingly and Alice looks at them fearfully.

"Edward, promise me you won't hurt her." Hermione pleaded.

"I promise." He swore, smiling lightly at her.

"I can't bare to lose you guys."

"I didn't think you were that close to her anyway and what do you mean lose us?" Rosalie asked, confused.

"Well, if she were to die, I couldn't bare to leave Charlie behind, all alone, and you all would have to leave. I would be losing my favorite uncle, again, in a way. You should have seen him after Renee left him, it was horrible. If his daughter dies too..." Hermione shuddered. "Just promise you won't hurt her."

"I promise." Edward repeated, hugging her. She smiled at him again, thankfully.

That night, Hermione slept fitfully, having dreams of what could happen between Edward and Bella. She never really got along with Bella. She always was so spoiled, even though she acted like she didn't like the presents, she got everything she wanted. But, Bella was nice, she could talk to her whenever she really needed someone, but she didn't trust the girl enough to tell her her biggest secret, she was a witch. That's not her biggest secret anymore, or at least it's tied for first, with the Cullens as vampires being first (or tied).

She woke early the next day to Carlisle smiling at her. "How are you today, you didn't sleep well." He whispered, concerenedly.

"I know, annoying dreams about Bella and Edward."

"It'll be fine, don't worry."

"I know." She kissed him lightly before getting up and getting ready for school.

She arrived and noticed a beat up red truck sitting in the parking lot that was never there previously. "Bella." Hermione murmured as she walked passed it, smiling lightly to herself. She always did have a flair for unique and old fashioned things. She couldn't deny that Bella had amazing taste when it came to stuff like that.

Hermione rushed into her classroom and went to the office, to see if maybe she could say hi to Bella before school began, no such luck. "I'm sorry Hermione, she just left." The little lady behind the counter apologized with huge, saddened eyes. Hermione just smiled and waved it off, walking back to the Chem lab.

During her first hour, she cast a locking charm and a silencing charm on the room and practiced some magic. Just before the bell rang, signifing the end of the hour, she finished, put the class back to the way it was, and unlocked the room. Smiling sneakily to herself as she sat, she waited for the next class. Rose and Emmett were in that class and they came into the room smiling at her.

"Hey He...Miss Granger." Rosalie greeted, sitting near the front, their new adopted seats since Hermione started hanging out with their family.

"Rosalie." She greeted.

"Momma." Emmett grinned cheekily.

Hermione, being Hermione, took it in stride and cooly replied by saying, "Son." He let out a booming laugh and sat next to Rose. They talked for a little while before the next bell rang. Hermione started the class then, and had a wonderful class. Everyone was so attentive, Hermione was thrilled.

The next class, with Jasper, began similarly. He walked in and greeted her, but with a 'Miss Granger' instead of a 'Momma'. She smiled and they chatted for awhile. After class, she had 2 more hours before lunch. The classes all went well, and she couldn't wait to see Bella at lunch. Mainly because she wanted to 'catch up'. Okay, that's not the reason but hey, maybe she could get to become good friends with Bella, that would definitely make Charlie's day.

She walked in and noticed Bella sitting with Mike, Jessica, and Angela. Bella was staring at Edward, who was, in turn, staring right back. Hermione shook her head. Of course, Bella, the one with extreme potency of her blood to a particular vampire, would be the one to pick said vampire to develop a crush on. Jeez, it hadn't even been a day. 'Oh well,' she thought 'better go talk to the vampires, see what's up.'
