Chapter 12

The Cullen's watched, perplexed as Dumbledore strolled out of the room, ignoring the strange glances from his co-workers as they too left the hall. They looked at each other nervously, turning to the four original humans.

"Um…if we need to sleep now, where are we supposed to go?" Emmett asked, shifting awkwardly and ignoring Harry's smirk.

Hermione looked up, "Didn't Dumbledore tell you where you were staying?"

The Cullen's shook their heads as Alice froze, her face paling and her eyes dimmed. She sat still as did Edward, no doubt 'seeing' the vision from Alice's thoughts. Jasper hovered next to her, a worried expression on his face as he waited anxiously for his girlfriend to come out of her trance.

Bella inwardly groaned as an evil smirk spread across Alice's face and Edward pouted. Wait…pouted?

"Edward, are you…pouting?" Bella asked incredulously as he crossed his arms over his chest sullenly.

"That's not fair Alice," He complained, "I wanted to spend the night with Bella,"

Hermione stared at Bella and Edward in shock, "You share a bed? And your parents allowed this?"

Carisle chuckled, 'We didn't really have anything to worry about. It was too dangerous for Edward to be with Bella that…way because of his strength and his thirst for her blood,"

"Plus my father didn't know that he was in my room," Bella added.

Jasper and Emmett snickered at the now red faced couple. Bella couldn't help but smirk at Edward's red face, remembering all the times he had teased her about her own blush. She decided it was about time she got a little revenge.

Bella gave him a sweet smile, "Oh Edward! Don't you look so cute? I mean, with such an obvious blush like that how could anyone think anything different?"

Edward's blush deepened as she pinched his cheeks teasingly, letting out a low snarl at Emmett as he roared with laughter, pounding his fists against the table. Carisle and Esme were struggling to control their own laughter and they were grateful when Remus stood, hiding his laughter by coughing and he walked over to them.

"There is a spare room just down the hall from my own room. Would you like me to show you?" He asked courteously.

They accepted politely bidding their children and Harry and Hermione good night and they left the hall being led by Remus and Sirius, who had excused himself from the table as well.

Jasper turned back o Alice, "So what was your vision of?" He asked.

She grinned, "Well us girls," She began, emphasising 'girls', "are going to have a sleep over," She declared jumping to her feet and started pulling the other girls up.

Hermione blinked as Alice stopped in front of her, "Well come on! You're leading the way!" Alice exclaimed.

Hermione gaped at her, "Don't you mean you three?" She asked weakly looking at Sam nervously.

He smiled reassuringly, though he looked annoyed, "You're considered part of the family…" He began but was cut of my Emmett.

"In other words; you're stuck with them,"

Alice glared at him but he ignored her, too busy cowering away from Rosalie as she whacked him over the head. He apologised and she nodded, satisfied and twirled around, grabbing Hermione as Alice yanked Bella after the others, pulling her away from Edward as he began to pull her to him.

Hermione looked back at Sam desperately and she was relieved to hear him speak clearly in her head, reassuring her.

'Me and Edward will plan a rescue,' He said in her mind.

Edward caught her eye and grinned receiving a small smile in return before she too was yanked out the hall.

Sam sighed as she was dragged out of his view, sulking childishly as his plans on spending time with her that night was spoiled by his evil shop-a-holic sisters. He was about to ask Edward on their plan of attack when Ginny walked into the hall, letting out a small squeal as she ran towards Harry and flung her arms around him.

"I'm so sorry about how I acted and what I said. It was really thoughtless and stupid and I'm so sorry," She babbled hysterically.

Looking panicky Harry did the first thing that came to his mind in an attempt to not only calm her down but shut her up as well. He hissed her, ignoring Emmett's cat calls and Jasper's suggestions to get a room.

He broke away, breathing hard, "Its fine," He mumbled, a dazed expression on both of their faces.

Sam smiled despite her frostiness towards him and was happy knowing that they wouldn't be arguing anytime soon. At leas he hoped they wouldn't. He was startled out of his thoughts as Ginny turned to him and gave him an apologetic smile.

"I'm really sorry about how I treated you," She apologised, "It was a horrible thing to say," She added and Sam could feel the sincerity in her voice.

He smiled friendly, "Its fine, I pretty much expected that response from someone. It really doesn't matter,"

She looked relieved and turned back to Harry, "Where's Hermione and the rest of the girls?"

Harry raised an eyebrow, "Where's Ron?"

Ginny narrowed her eyes warningly, "He's helping the twins at their shop," She said and tapped her foot expectantly.

"Oh right. I'm assuming they went to Hermione's room. They were having a sleep over," He informed her, inwardly groaning as she gave him a final kiss and twirled around, walking quickly out of the hall and turning in the direction of Hermione's room.

Harry frowned and turned to the rest of the moping males and raised both eyebrows, "So, what's our plan of attack?"

Jasper looked thoughtful, "Well, whatever we're going to plan to do Alice is going to see it unless…" He trailed off with a smirk at Sam.

Sam groaned, "Do I have to?" He whined.

Emmett grinned, "Do you want to see Hermione in the next couple of days?" He asked, catching on as to what Jasper had been implying.

Harry looked at the four brothers in confusion, "What's going on?"

"Alice's vision can be blocked by Sam's shields but that takes a bit of concentration on Sam's part," Edward explained.

"Are we going to be planning in here or somewhere else?" Sam grumbled.

Emmett grinned and looked at Harry questioningly. Harry was in deep thought; trying to think of an empty room hat was fairly close to Hermione's room.

"We could go to the charms room. It's the only classroom that's near Hermione's room and no one will be in it at this time. I'll check if the girls have gone to her room just in case," Harry said, pulling out an old parchment.

Emmett stared incredulously at Harry, "How the hell is hat going to know where they are?"

Harry smirked, "Watch and learn,"

He brothers watched as Harry pulled out his wand and tapped the parchment, saying, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good,"

Hey gaped in awe as ink flew across the paper, little black dots moving around.

"It's a map," Jasper said.

Harry nodded, searching the map for something. As he moved the page to the great hall Emmett finally found his voice.

"Is that us?" He shouted.

Harry nodded again, "This map shows the entire Hogwarts, plus many of the secret passage ways. It shows every person in the castle, where they are and what they're doing," He said grinning.

Emmett continued to stare at the map in awe, "Who made this?"

Harry smiled, "The marauders; Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs,"

Hey didn't need Jasper and Sam's powers to recognise the sadness in Harry after he said the last name.

"Who were they? Did you know them?" Edward asked carefully.

"They were legendary pranksters in Gryffindor. Moony is Remus, Padfoot is Sirius and Wormtail…" Harry cut off abruptly, breathing heavily, his hand clenching and unclenching on the table.

"Wormtail?" Sam encouraged.

Harry clenched his jaw, "Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew. Betraying rat and the reason my parents were murdered," He snarled, radiating such anger that Sam and Jasper both flinched.

They waited until he had calmed down before Jasper hesitantly asked, "Who was Prongs?"

Harry smiled sadly, "Prongs was my dad; James Potter,"

Edward looked at him cautiously, "Why are they their nicknames?" He asked carefully.

"Moon was for Remus's furry little problem," He began, chuckling.

The brothers realized that the 'furry little problem' was his lycanthropy.

Harry continued, "Padfoot was Sirius's animagus form; a large black dog which closely resembles a grim. Wormail was, as I said before, a rat. Prongs was my dad's animagus form; a stag. You've seen it before Sam," Harry said.

Sam looked confused, "When?"

"You saw him when I healed your mind. My patronis form is Prongs," He explained, "Expecto Patronum," He said clearly.

A white mist shot from his wand and a large white stag erupted forward and stared at them, waiting for an order. After a minute the stag began to fade and it disappeared, leaving the brothers in awe.

"Can you teach us when we get our wands?" Emmett asked excitedly.

Harry narrowed his eyes, "Only if you promise to behave. Now let's go to the charms room and begin planning,"

In the girls room Alice had set the girls in Hermione's living room and the five of them had agreed to play 'Truth or Dare'. Alice was beaming at them, undoubtedly having seen what was going to happen.

"Alright, I'll go first; Rosalie. Truth or Dare?"

Rosalie studied her carefully, "Truth,"

"Have you ever totalled Edward's car?" Alice asked, barely containing a giggle.

Rosalie paled, "Only twice and they were both accidents," She burst out, a crazed look in her eye.

When she had finished her out burst Alice smiled at her, receiving a glare as her anger and need for revenge rose, so she turned and gave Bella a dark smile.

"Bella; truth or dare?"

Bella looked at her nervously, knowing how much Rosalie had despised her in the past. She couldn't help but think that nothing had changed. She knew that if she picked dare, Rosalie would make her do something completely dangerous or embarrassing. So she chose the safest option…

"Truth,"

Rosalie was quiet for a moment, trying to decide what would be the best form of embarrassment for Bella. An idea came and her grin widened.

"How far have you and Edward gone in your relationship since you've been dating?"

Bella blushed, "I can't believe I agreed to this," She muttered and cleared her throat, "Um, we haven't gone any further than kissing. Well I'm not sure our kisses can actually be classified as kisses," She added grumpily.

Ginny gaped at her, "What do you mean, you can't classify your kisses being actual kisses?"

Bella turned crimson, "Ah, he's, um, never let us…um…it was too dangerous. He didn't want to loose control," She said weakly.

Alice rolled her eyes, "You think that's bad? Despite how 'emotion' Jasper's powers are he is completely frigid at times," She complained.

Ginny raised an eyebrow, "That' nothing. Harry broke up with me for five months because he was worried about You-Know-Who capturing me or killing me just to get to him,"

Forgetting about the game the girls continued to complain to each other about the troubles with their boys. Unknown to them the five boys had snuck into the room, Edward and Harry hiding underneath an invisibility cloak whilst Jasper, Emmett and Sam had shields around them, preventing only the girls from seeing them.

"Have you even tried to seduce Edward?" Rosalie asked.

Bella blushed again "Have you ever tried to seduce a 106 year old vampire before? It's like talking to a brick wall," She muttered

Underneath the cloak Harry snickered quietly at Edward as he blushed. Edward snarled, almost inaudibly but Harry just continued to smirk at him.

"Well he's not a vampire anymore is he? When you saw him at tea he gave you a kiss," Hermione said pointedly.

"Like you can talk Hermione," Ginny said.

Hermione gave her a confused look, "What?"

"Well you not exactly a relationship expert are you? Your 18 and have only just started dating someone," Ginny pointed out.

"And who is more than slightly frigid," Rosalie added.

Hermione glared at them, "What's so bad about that?" She argued, "We've only just started to date,"

"You two barely touch each other. Even if no one is in the same room you barely make contact,"

"How would you know?" Hermione shot back.

Alice cut in, "Because we spied on you,"

"We spied on you," Rosalie repeated with an exasperated roll of her eyes, "Come on; Sam is out little brother and you're the first girl that he has ever gone out with let alone touched,"

As they continued to argue with Hermione, the boys moved silently towards their respectie girlfriends, each re-thinking the room which Harry had shown them before they had come here so that they would be able to take their girls to when they left Hermione's room. Luckily, Ginning and Bella were sitting next to each other and they waited patiently for the best moment to capture them, having much amusement in listening to the girls talk about them.

"Telling Sam that you're ready to try different things in your relationship isn't that bad. Just tell him that you want a bit more…contact," Rosalie recommended.

Hermione was now glowing red, "I don't think that's a good idea," She muttered.

"Why not?" Ginny demanded.

Hermione shook her head helplessly, leaning back on her hands, "I don't want to hurt him again," She mumbled.

Behind her Sam crouched down, listening raptly to her responses as well as preparing to 'capture' her. Beside him Emmett and Jasper followed his lead, grinning evilly, holding three pieces of rope each. Sam nodded at his brothers, the first signal to prepare to capture them and they all listened as Sam counted in their heads.

"Come one Hermione! If you don't take the risk then you'll never- ARGH!" Ginny cut off with a scream as the boys revealed themselves and abruptly pounced on their girls.

Hermione let out a squeak as Sam grabbed her hands, supporting her body with his as he quickly tied her hands in front of her with invisible rope, trapping her in his strong arms. He tied another just beneath her chest so it pinned her elbows to her side. Ignoring her protests he bound her feet together with the same invisible rope that he'd used on her hands and elbows and gave her a sneaky grin.

"More contact huh?" He asked grinning at her.

She blushed crimson and fought against her bonds uselessly. She glared at him as she sighed frustratedly. Sam gave her an amused glance as he pulled a long black cloth out of his pocket, and she was dimly aware of his brothers and Harry pulling out similar ones. She shook her head and hardened her glare.

He leaned forward and gave her a swift kiss, "All part of the rescue," He pulled away and secured the cloth other her eyes.

Sam called a swift goodnight to his brothers and picked Hermione up, bridle style and carried her out of the room. He whistled cheerfully down the corridors, reprimanding her now and then when she struggled or started to curse him.

"Here we are," He said happily, whispering the password to his new room.

"Does that mean I get to be untied now?" Hermione asked hopefully as she was set down on a soft bed.

Sam chuckled and removed her blindfold, "Only if you promise not to hit me," He bargained.

She thought about it and said teasingly, "I don't know. That depends if you'll give me a kiss,"

He grinned, "I think I can do that,"

He cupped her face gently in his hands and gave her a soft kiss, banishing the ropes that bound her. She snaked her arms up around his neck and pulled him closer. He kneeled in front of her, wrapping his arms around her small waist and he continued to kiss her. When they finally broke away they were both breathing hard, their foreheads pressed together.

Sam traced his finger across her smooth jaw and brushed back the stray bits of hair that had fallen in front of her face. He smiled lovingly at her and he kissed her again, pulling back teasingly as he continued to trace kisses across her jaw and down her neck.

He smiled against her neck as her breathing hitched, knowing that if he was going to far she would stop him. He trailed his kisses across her collarbone and kissed up the other side of her neck and gave her a long hard kiss.

Sam lay down next to her, kicking of his shoes before pulling her into his arms and laying his head on top of her soft hair. She snuggled into his chest, closing her eyes and soon they had both fallen asleep.
