AN: In the last chapter Alice has a vision that Hermione is going to hit Bella. She stops this by sitting by her. She is not going to hit Bella. She would crush her skull.
Tom Riddle purchased his diary on Vauxhall Road in London, and the closest orphanage to that location in the 1920s was the Stockwell Orphanage. It is not Stockwell, but it was the closest I could get.

The wolves looked at them like they were crazy. They had no idea what was going on. "This meeting can come to order." George joked. "I don't think they want-"
"Me either." Interrupted Fred. The wolves looked even more confused.
"Do you have questions or what?" Fred and George asked in unison. "We have things to do."
"I'll start," Carlisle said. He looked at Hermione. "May I ask what you were doing when you-"
Hermione's eyes widened. "That doesn't have to do with this meeting." She looked at Fred and George who looked as confused as the wolves. The only ones who didn't look confused were Alice, Edward, and Carlisle.
"My apologies."
"It's alright."
Edward turned to Hermione eyebrows raised. "What do you want, mind reader?"
"I have a name." Edward said calmly.
"And I have no intention of using it." Hermione replied, just as calm. The wolves seemed happy that she didn't like him. "Next question," Hermione muttered.
Fred leaned down to whisper, not that it mattered, everyone but Bella would hear anyways. "We're talking about the previous one when we get home."
He went back to his casual manner. "Alright. Bring it on."
"I have one. Why can't I read your mind?" He asked.
"Why can't you read Bella's?" She shot back immediately.
"Touche," Edward smirked.
"Where are you from?" Sam asked, the first words from the wolves.
"England," they all said at once. A few people laughed.
"Where exactly?" Carlisle asked.
Fred and George answered, "An orphanage."
Esme gasped. "What orphanage?"
The boys were silent, but Hermione answered "Stockwell." It was Tom Riddle's orphanage.
"When did you leave?" Rosalie asked.
"Ran away a couple years ago. We just got enough money for five trips to the states. Worked long shifts. Missed school a lot. That's why we're so behind." Hermione muttered, pretending to be embarrassed.
"It's alright dear. You'll catch up. I can tutor you if you need." She smiled gratefully.
"If you guys are so poor, why were you driving a Lamborgini Diablo GT?" Edward asked.
"Rental. The boys know nothing about cars. The more it shines, the more they like it." Hermione said.
The wolves snorted.
"I have a question," said Bella.
"I don't care." Hermione scowled.
"Why did Eric and Danny leave?"
The wolves looked confused. "There's more than two?" Sam asked Hermione.
She nodded her head, but didn't specify the amount.
"So? Why did they leave? Get tired of you that quickly?"
"Bella!" Edward exclaimed, sounding surprised.
She continued, ignoring him. "Didn't like you enough to stay? These two are pity stays, right? Are you lying about meeting back up with them? They didn't want you, did they?"
Hermione would cry if she could. "Shut up." She stood up. "You have no idea what you're talking about!" She shouted, anger about to burst. Fred and George grabbed her shoulders.
"Did you like one? Is that it? They left because they didn't care about you enough to stay."
Hermione's nostrils flared and her fists clenched. She was about to hit her. She wasn't going to be able to hold the anger in.
The next thing Bella said hit below the belt. "Eric right? You aren't good enough for him anyways. Bet they said that they'd wait for you. Right? Too bad they aren't going to. They are going to leave you here. All alone. I wouldn't be surprised if you're used to that, being an orphan and all…"
Hermione jumped at Bella, but she was held back by Alice, Fred and George. "Why can't we hold her?" Alice asked, worriedly.
Emmett jumped up and helped hold her. She was on a rampage though. She wanted to hit Bella, and she no longer cared about crushing skulls. Rosalie came to help and Edward shielded Bella.
"SHE IS STILL MOVING!" Alice shrieked. Jasper grabbed a hold of her, and she finally stilled.
The wolves were too shocked from Bella's outburst and Hermione's sudden strength to even bother moving. All of their jaws were dropped.
Carlisle and Esme stared wide eyed at Hermione. Hermione sat on the couch after taking a deep breath. "Next question?"
They all started talking at once.
"Quiet down!" Shouted Fred and George. "We can't hear you!" They all stopped talking.
"Esme?" Hermione asked calmly.
"How are you so strong? You're a human!" Esme said, completely freaked out.
Almost everyone murmured, "I'd like to know that too."
Hermione took a deep breath and looked at the twins. They nodded. "I'm not a human. I'm a vampire."
"I knew it!" Alice burst. Hermione looked over at Alice with wide eyes.
"Your skin feels weird. The temperature. As if you don't have one!" Alice smiled.
The wolves growled. "What's with your eyes?" Sam asked, a bit more offensive now that he learned she was a vampire.
"She doesn't drink blood." Fred explained. "She has a power or something over her bloodlust and it made her eyes turn like that."
Jasper eyed her a bit enviously. "Mind telling us the real story?"
Hermione sighed. "We met at a private school in Scotland. They were one of my best friend's brothers. They left earlier. Already vampires. Then someone came there. To the school. It was someone I didn't recognize. I was walking the grounds, and I heard something. I looked around, and I saw him. I thought I could trust him until I saw his eyes. He said, ' Don't worry. It will only hurt a little.' He smiled and attacked me. He said his name was Laurent."
The Cullens stiffened. "Don't worry about anything," Fred said, noticing the Cullen's anxiety. "We got rid of him for biting Ella."
"What do you mean?" Sam asked.
"Killed him and burned the pieces. He was about to suck her dry, but I knocked him off in the middle of the process." Hermione gave Fred a bright smile. He smiled back.
The wolves looked ready to nod off. "Why are you all so tired?" Hermione asked.
"None of your business, bloodsucker." Paul retorted.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Embry and Quil look dead on their feet. We should go. We can talk again tomorrow." The Cullen's nodded and the wolves agreed.
"Ella? Can I talk to you?" Jacob asked.
Sure, let me find a girl named Ella first. "Sure." Hermione said, walking over. They walked where they couldn't be heard, receiving many curious stares.
"Okay. The guys like you. They're just kind of mad you lied about the bloodsucker thing. We think that the whole not calling us dogs is cool. I don't know about Paul and Jared, but everyone else will probably ease up on you and your friends."
Hermione smiled, "Thanks." She held out her hand.
"You know what I was wondering?" Jacob asked before he grabbed her hand and shook it.
"What?"
"You don't smell. Usually the leeches smell."
"I'm a vampire. Not a leech." Hermione smirked.
"Wow! Your hand is normal temperature. That's weird..." Hermione shrugged.
They walked back to the house. Edward looked at Jacob's thoughts and nodded. "That's nice."
Hermione frowned. "How is it that you're annoying me, by reading his thoughts?"
AN: And that's the chapter! I finished it before I have to go! Hooray! Okay.
