I hope you all as my fellow readers will continue to follow the story and review. The reviews you all send in really help me continue writing.

Now here is another chapter of Bella Potter's life, where we will now know the truth of the secret that has been plaguing Bella's thoughts...have at it my readers! :)

Figuring out the Impossible

"Time to open up presents!" yelled Mrs. Weasly.

"Whoo!" yelled everyone. Even Edward was excited, and it was fascinating to see. He looked so adorable, like an actual teenager who was excited to see what he got for presents and not a vampire who lived just to live. These were the times that my love for him shined through.

"Do I have something on my face?" asked Edward, catching me watching him.

"No, you don't have anything on your face," I said blushing, I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the huge tree where everyone had begun to collect their gifts.

"Here Bellsy, these are all yours," said Harry, handing me about 10 gifts.

"Wow! These are all mine?" I said surprised. I never thought I was going to get so many gifts. Maybe it was because I was gone last Christmas.

Edward grabbed them for me and took them over to the loveseat so we could begin unwrapping them. Sirius walked over to us with 3 gifts in his hands, and the leather bracelet on his wrist. I knew he would like it!

"Here you go Edward," said Sirius putting the gifts beside Edward's feet.

"Are those really for me?" he asked surprised.

"Your part of the family, of course you're going to get gifts. One is from the adults, one if from the girls, and the other is from the boys," he said with a smile, and then he walked over to everyone else opening their gifts.

"I told you they would accept you!" I said grinning at him. He gave me his crooked smile. "I told you they would, don't doubt me my love." I said pressing my lips to his softly. "Merry Christmas," I whispered.

"Merry Christmas to you too my love," he said, tugging on my bottom lip with his teeth wanting more.

"Not right now baby," I said moaning softly. All I wanted to do was take him with me upstairs, and have my way with him over and over again. He moved back and pressed his forehead to mine and gazed into my eyes.

"You don't know how happy you make me Bella, I've been waiting to find you for almost a century, and now I finally found you, and I plan to never let you go. I plan to make you mine in all ways possible. Bella, won't you be my wife?"

I was actually very surprised. "Edward. We talked about this, I said I didn't want to think about marriage yet, maybe not for another year, I'm just so stressed out because of school, and all these bad guys attacking us over and over, also with Voldemort coming after me, most likely because of my powers. I don't want you to be in that kind of danger." I looked into his eyes, hoping mine were saying how sorry I was I couldn't give him what he wanted.

"Well, since you won't let me have you as my wife, will you at least promise to me that we'll be together no matter what and that you'll be completely honest to me about anything?" he said kissing along my jaw and neck.

"I, Bella Potter, promise to Edward Cullen, to be honest, and be with you for as long as fate will allow me." I said grinning. "Now let's open up our gifts." I said looking around at the floor and seeing no gifts at all that belonged to me, only Edward's were here. "Harry James Potter!" I screamed. I ran over to him and grabbed him by his collar. "Where are my gifts? You know how much I hate you pulling that little prank on me every bloody year!" He just started laughing. "Its not funny Harry!" I pushed him and stomped back over to Edward, with a pout on my face. "Help me find my gifts?"

"Just let me put mine somewhere safe, like my room." Edward grabbed his 3 gifts and ran with his vampire speed, left them in his room, and came back to me in about 10 seconds. "I'm back and ready for anything."

"Read their minds and tell me where my gifts are please?"

He nodded and began to concentrate. "Sirius." he said with a smile.

"Why are you smiling?"

"Because he was begging me not to tell you," he said kissing my cheek. I stalked over to Sirius and stood in front of him angry. "Where are my gifts?" I summoned air so that a tornado would appear around him and turn him around and around until he felt sick enough to tell me where my gifts were.

Instead of begging me to stop like I thought he would, he began to laugh. "There hiding in the place you would never guess."

"And where is that oh mysterious black, scruffy dog?" I said losing my patience.

"They're all in your room my dear," said Mrs. Weasly, glaring at Sirius.

"Thank you Mommy," I said smiling, remembering the time someone thought I was a long lost Weasly, since I had red hair too, just not as bright.

"Your welcome dear. Now up to your rooms all of you, its time to sleep, its almost dawn." she said ushering all of us (even adults) upstairs and into our rooms.

Edward and I went into my room and began unwrapping out gifts. Wow...I never expected any of these.

Harry got me a bracelet engraved with: Bells & Harry, together forever, I love you sis 3, I started tearing up, I loved my brother.

Ron got me a new copy of Wuthering Heights, with a note on the inside: I actually read the book...now I see why you read it so much, its completely brilliant! Don't tell anyone I read a book! They'll be expecting more from me in school. Your brother, Ron! I started giggling at his silly note.

Edward looked at me strangely, and I told him who gave me the book, and he began chuckling.

Hermione gave me a pair of earrings, while Ginny gave me the matching necklace.

Tonks gave me a magical spa kit to relax when I was stressing. Fred and George gave me 'hand-made' passes to use, like them being my slaves for a whole day, things like that.

Sirius gave me a bracelet with the Black crest on it.

Lupin gave me a book on the paranormal. The idea of reading about the paranormal gave me giggles, since I was included in that they surrounded me.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasly gave me a cute sweater with my name sewn on the bottom.

I was touched by all the gifts they had given me. I guess they really loved me. Well, no. I already knew they loved me. I put away all my gifts. I looked at Edward and wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him on top of me. We began kissing softly and delicately.

"I love you," he whispered against my neck.

"I love you too," I managed to moan out.

I was lost in his touch until I felt bile rise up my throat. He pulled me up and took me to the bathroom where I spilled my guts into the toilet.

Edward whispered sweet nothings into my ear and held my hair back. I was breathing heavily through my nose and glared at the toilet. I flushed and feel against the shower.

"I don't know what happened," I said coughing harshly I felt something rise up my throat again, expecting bile I leaned over the toilet. This time I spit out blood though, my mouth strongly tasting of iron.

"Edward," I whispered. "Get Harry," Edward looked guilty at me not wanting to leave. "Go I'll be okay," I whispered, leaning over the toilet and hacking more blood and bile into the toilet. I flushed the toilet again and leaned back against the cold shower door.

Inky blackness was starting to tinge the edges of my sight. I shut my eyes as tight as I could and breathed harder. I didn't want to pass out, not again.

Grabbing the edge of the toilet seat I rose up only to fall on my knees again. The inky blackness was back and was moving faster this time. I could feel it taking over my sense. All I could do was give into it.

I rested my head on the ground the last image I saw was Edward and Sirius racing towards me with Harry close behind.

"Edward," I whispered before giving into the inky blackness and finally being able to rest.

"Bella Potter!" yelled the sinister voice.

"Who's there?" I yelled back. Did Voldemort do this to me? Did he make me sick so he could come to me in my dreams again? How did he manage to do so without getting caught though?

"We meet again Ms. Potter," said Voldemort stepping out of the shadows and turning the inky blackness into the Ministry of Magic. "Do you recognize this place Potter?"

I glared at him, "Of course I do! It's the Ministry of Magic."

He smiled a sick, twisted, proud smile at me. "Good! Now can you tell me where we are now?" With a flick of his wand the Ministry of Magic turned into another location, one I didn't recognize this time. It was dark but there were eerie lights coming from the spheres on the bookcases that were organized in neat rows and columns.

"Where are we?" I said compelling myself to stay where I was and not move a step closer towards the spheres.

"Tsk tsk Ms. Potter. I can't believe your so-called family has never spoken to you about this place. This is the Department of Mystery, to be specific the Hall of Prophecy," spoke Voldemort.

"Why are we here?" I questioned loud and clear not wanting to let Voldemort since any of my fright.

"Because this place is very important to us and your brother included. Here is this prophecy of your brother and I. The prophecy of you and I still hasn't been found Ms. Potter. I want that prophecy and I will get it one way or another."

"Is that what these are?" I whispered, walking slowly towards the spheres filled with eerie white clouds. "They're prophecies?"

"Why would I lie to you Bella?" asked Voldemort, with a cynical smile in place.

"Because that's what you do," I said. "If you don't lie tell me who my real father is!"

Voldemort cackled, "Now where would the fun be in that?"

"This isn't a game Voldemort! You're going to lose, it's in your nature."

Voldemort glared at me, he moved his wand following a silent incantation and more inky blackness was pouring out of his wand. The inky tentacles were making there way towards me. I wanted to move but I didn't have the strength. The tentacles wrapped themselves around my legs and were beginning to wrap their way towards my torso.

I gasped for air when they began to cover my mouth. I was cocooned in the inky blackness, and I had no way out. I could hear Voldemort laughing at the excruciating pain I felt.

"Your father is someone who is very important to my cause. I can't let your presence in his life distract him from his duties." Voldemort said, his words laced with false sincerity.

"Please! Please let me at least know who he is!" I gasped when the inky tentacle removed itself from my face.

I breathed heavily through my nose not wanting to let him know that I would beg to know the name of my father.

Voldemort watched me warily, seemingly ready to give in at any moment. He walked around me and began pulling the tentacles off me.

I gasped in relief when they were all off me. I fell to the ground in a moment of weakness. "Please tell me. I have to know," I said coughing.

Voldemort pulled me up by my upper arms and placed me in front of him. He grabbed me close and whispered in my ear, "Severus Snape."

I gasped when he pushed me away from him. My body was shaking and I was sweating bullets.

"I'm glad we could have this conversation Ms. Bella. You have to remember about the prophecy. I will find it. And I will make sure you get the bad ending." Voldemort began to cackle and everything around me began to evaporate. All I could see for miles was blackness. All I could hear was a name. The name of my father.

Severus Snape...

Severus Snape...

Severus Snape...
