Summery: Bella was left alone in the forest, however she never told Edward, or any of the Cullen's that she was not Bella Swan – Chief Police Swan's daughter. Instead she is Isabella Snape, a sister to the most hated teacher at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry, a witch and an unofficial Marauder. What happens when Professor Dumbledore invites the Cullen's to Hogwarts to help protect the school? Will there be chaos? Or will there be love?

Chapter twelve
Once all the students had gone up to their common rooms those who were in the Order of Phoenix and at Hogwarts at the time assembled in the headmaster's office. Those that assembled were Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore, Severus, Bella and, of course, the Cullen's.
Trying to ignore the Cullen's, Albus gave the go ahead to get to Headquarters (Grimwald Place). Before anyone could say anything Bella grabbed some Floo Powder and went towards the fireplace. Before she left she saw the Cullen's looking on with some awe and dread as they realised that they would have to do that. She also saw Dumbledore look at her with a disapproving glance, as if he was disappointed at her for not talking to the Cullen's at all. Rolling her eyes she finally looked at her brother who was silently asking her if she was okay. Smirking at him she threw the powder onto the ground that she was standing on and shouted "12 Grimwald Place"
After a rather dizzy ride Bella had, once again, been ungracefully thrown out of the fireplace. Just as she was going to hit the floor two arms encircled her to keep her on her feet. Looking up she saw it was Sirius. Remembering the conversation she had with both Harry and Severus she quickly got on her feet and out of his arms before saying an awkward 'hi'.
It was then that Sirius started laughing at his friend's apparent awkwardness and gave her a hug. Just as she started to hug back Severus gracefully came out of the fireplace and, remembering the earlier conversation, he smirked at her and in mature retaliation she stuck out her tongue.
By the time the Cullen's came out of the fireplace Remus had entered the room and stood next to Bella who was also next to Sirius, the two men acting as her bodyguards. Poking both of them in the sides she left the room to get a butterbeer in the kitchen. When she turned around she saw the aging headmaster there waiting for him to speak she opened the bottle in her hand.
It was not until she started to drink did he speak, "I am very disappointed in you Isabella." He said in a sad tone.
Making sure that there was a strong silencing spell so that the vampires wouldn't hear and a locking spell on the door so no one would come in she asked in a tone that would suggest she didn't care, "And why would that be headmaster?"
"We are supposed to be working alongside the Cullen's as they are helping us, and you have not even tried to talk to them."
"Why should I?" she asked curiously, "it's not as if they care for me, and besides, a lot of people haven't tried talking to them, why are you hounding me about it?" she spat out.
"We have to forgive past mistakes," the old man said as if talking to a child, "We are at war, it would not be good to fight with those on the same team as us."
"I'm not fighting with them, I'm just… not talking to them. Look," Bella said trying to calm down, putting her drink on the table – just in case, "Professor Dumbledore, with all due respect, I don't know why this is any of your concern… and besides this is not something that I can just forgive and forget okay. He left me in the FOREST telling me he didn't love me. Now, I don't know what I had done to deserve that but I think people, YOU especially, should cut me some slack; you made me go there, uprooting me from my life. I didn't want to go and I sure as hell didn't want to fall in love. So I'm sorry if I'm not 'living up to your expectations' or whatever but I'm dealing. Just be glad that I am tolerating their presence and not shoving them into a bonfire at Hogwarts." With that said she cancelled all the spells, picked up her drink and walked towards the door to take her to the dining room where the meeting would take place.
"Bella," he called making her stop but not turn around, "you are going to have to forgive them at some point." He said in a grandfatherly tone. She took in a deep breath to calm her down and not start yelling at him, "Yeah, but no one said that that point had to be now." She said as calmly as possible before walking out the door.
Grumbling nonsense she went past the dining room and into the living room and plopped down on the two-seater couch where Sirius was sitting, Remus sitting next to Nymphadora Tonks on the other seat.
Sirius looked at her, an eyebrow raised silently asking her if she was okay.
She rolled her eyes, sighed and looked quickly at Dumbledore who was talking to the Cullen's.
He smiled mischievously as if asking if they were going to prank Dumbledore as well
She gave him a disapproving glance but anyone could tell that she was trying not to laugh so when Sirius shot a questioning glance at her she shook her head no.
He frowned but then grinned and looked at the Cullen's asking if the prank was still on.
She just nodded but pointed to her head, silently asking if his Occlumency shield was up.
He nodded and rolled his eyes as if saying I'm not stupid.
She just looked at him funny making him glare at her and the then both of them started laughing.
This all took place in the time space of about 25 seconds, so when the two of them started laughing the rest of the people there looked at them weirdly, except for Remus, who had gotten used to the silent conversations back in Hogwarts. Severus smiled slightly when he saw his sister happier than he had seen her since she came back. When Sirius caught his gaze Severus gave him a look that obviously said, don't hurt her. Sirius nodded slightly, they would put their differences aside for her. She was their common ground.
A/N: First, I would like to complain about the teachers that have no lives, apparently it is okay to give a test to the class through the internet during the holidays, I mean, seriously, who does that? Anywho, I was re-reading the reviews that I have received from all of you and I never realised how many people actually like this story, I thought that it would be shut down by a few people after a couple of chapters, I am very grateful for all your support :D and another, I got a review in the last chapter and I would like to point out that Edward and Bella will not be getting back together, they MAY become friends, they may not, I'll figure that out later, but they won't become a couple... sorry for anyone who is disappointed.
