Chapter Twenty-Five: Goodbye England, Hello Forks!
After they bid goodbye to each other while steadying her children by covering them away from the press with the invisible cloak and exit the building without being notice as she went to meet Charlie and the others at the airport waiting for her. Once Hermione apparated to the airport not wanting to be seen from the reporters she saw her friends waiting for her.
"You guys ready to go?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, we're ready," Luna murmured being 7 ½ months pregnant nodding at this carrying the twins Lorcan and Lysander while Draco carried Scorpius while Blaise and Neville grabbed the twins Leo and Allie II steadying them inside their strollers, Jay with his children—Logan, Zander, CJ, Sophia, Newton, Nelson, Arianna and Hannah then George with his wife Ariel and their two kids Percy II, Emery and Arthur Corey, while being 7 ½ months along pregnant with unborn triplets who will be born within 2 ½ months Bill II, Ronald 'Ron' II, and Ginevra Molly Rose 'Ginny or Gin' II soon then Fred, with Barry and Anya his kids, Charlie, Remus, Tonks with Teddy with their unborn quadruplets, Mrs. Tonks, Narcissa Malfoy with her husband Lucius Malfoy and then Hermione with her family. Everyone has their belongings ready to go and set off to Forks, Washington in Seattle, Washington Airport.
They checked in the airport with their children, got their passports, check in their bags, etc and waited till they were boarded in the airplane. It was only 1:20 in the morning so they had a lot of time left but, they did board the plane early though, so it wasn't so bad; the flight to Seattle, Washington was 11 hours so at least they'll have some sleep in the way.
"Mya how long is your flight for?" Draco asked.
"Eleven hours usually," Hermione answered.
"ELEVEN HOURS?!" Draco exclaimed causing Luna to cover her husband's mouth not wanting him to be rude.
"Shhh," Luna scolded him "You're being rude Draco especially since our sons just got up from their nap," she playfully squats him on the shoulder.
"Sorry," Draco mumbled rubbing his eyes from being so tired.
"Oh, don't be such a baby Draco," Hermione huffed "At least you'll have some sleep since we took a nap at the studio apartment remember," she pointed out.
Draco sighed tiredly "Yeah I guess your right…" he murmured "Bloody hell and I thought our flight was that bad… Blaise and I will see you guys soon,"
"I love you Draco and please be careful," Luna murmured kissing her husband.
"And I love you too and Scorpius, watch over your brothers and your mother with your unborn sister will you," Draco asked his son.
"Don't worry I'll watch over mummy and our family," Scorpius puffed his chest causing his parents to chuckle "You can count on me dad," he explained.
"Good, good I'll see you in next week maybe early than that we'll see how it goes," Draco murmured.
"Bye luv," Blaise kissed Neville and the kids "Leo, Ali you two be good for papa okay,"
"We'll be good," Alice murmured "I love you daddy,"
"And I love you too princess Leo watch over your sister huh?" Blaise asked.
"I will papa," Leo yawned leaning his head over his daddy Neville's shoulder "I love you papa,"
"And I love you don't wander off huh," Blaise told him.
"We won't," Leo and Alice both answered.
"Bye babe be careful both of you," Neville told his husband Blaise and his brother-in-law Draco.
"Of course, and you guys be careful too,"
"Always," Hermione smirked then noticed that Theo and Pansy haven't arrived yet "Hold on where's Pansy and Theo with the girls I thought they were going to see us off?" she explained.
"Theo gave us an message stating that they'll arrive with us within a week since Pansy is pretty tired from the long day we had," Draco assured her.
"Oh okay that's fine I'll just see you at our Disneyland trip," Hermione beamed.
"Exactly and she's excited over this Disneyland trip that you plan for us Mia," Blaise pointed out.
"Well I had to do something for my children since it's their birthday week," Hermione winked "We'll see you guys next week and please be careful," she explained.
"We will and you guys be careful too," Draco assured her.
"Always," Hermione began to say recounting everyone as they're a big group "We'll see you guys next week in Disneyland,"
"See you guys next week…" Draco explained as they both watched them leave to their apparition spot as everyone held on tight to one another until the coast was clear
"You do know that Mya is going to kill us if she finds out …. about…" Blaise was cut off by his best friend Draco.
"No, she won't…not if you keep bringing the subject for her to hear" Draco muttered under his breath "You heard Potter… considering his creature inheritance whatever he is taking his sweet time to hatch and will you lower your voice we don't want anyone to overhear us" he hissed at him.
Blaise sighed knowing he's right "I'm sorry Drake but, it's true you know I am… I still think she's going to bloody kill us,"
"Trust me I know but, Harry tried to communicate her but, for some odd reason it's not working… I think the connection between them broke when we all thought he died… and as much as I agree with you yes they probably would kill us especially Luna and Neville being our spouses for keeping this secret from them for so long… but, I have a feeling Lulu knows though?" Draco explained muttered under his breath.
"How can you tell considering it's kind of obvious Draco," Blaise flatly replied.
"Don't be sarcastic Blaise we both know how her visions are true but, if she can see the future… then she might be able to help us… which might be a good thing since we need her help… after all Harry did try to communicate with Luna but, no prevail really…" Draco began to say with a cooly tone causing Blaise to stare at him with a gawk look but, kept quiet "Look I know it's stressing you out B you don't think it's stressing me out … hopefully we'll know what's going on with Potter at least… know where he is … all we know is that he's by the ocean how hard can that be?" he explained.
"He can be anywhere Drake," Blaise argue back in low otnes.
"I know but, there's a large possibility that he could be closer to us then we think we just don't know where yet… I mean … if he's near the ocean he could be inside a cave for all we know?"
"A cave… aren't there caves in Mya's home town?"
"In Forks… maybe… " Draco began to say grabbing his notebook "Forks…? Okay that's one… how many caves are in this whole entire earth?" he explained.
"A lot it can be anywhere Draco and when the secret comes out Merlin knows that Mya's going to kill the both of us for keeping this from her… especially since Harry is alive,"
"Will you bloody relax we'll tell her when the time comes but, for now Potter has to keep a low profile even if it's away from his family…"
"Draco he's been away from his family for nearly three years … and I can't help it… Mya's like a sister to me and I would hate to lose her trust over this especially keeping this secret from her since we both know she's not known for being the smartest witch of her age for nothing ya know,"
"I know… I know… you don't have to remind me," Draco scowled as they both apparated to a different location "We just have to figure out how to get him out and until then just try to relax the last thing we need is everyone being suspicions over this," he explained.
"I'll try… but, I can't help it…even Neville can tell how nervous I get,"
"Well I guess you have to stop being so nervous especially around Mya you're lucky she didn't notice …"
"Yet… she's going to notice that I'm going to crack Draco,"
"Not unless you want her to kill us both we have to keep this under wraps until we figure out how to get Harry out of that bloody egg… okay… just relax,"
Blaise took a deep breath and calm himself down "I'll—I'll try but, do you even know to get him out?" he asked.
"The only way for Harry to get out is if… he hatched… he's near the ocean so to do that… we'll just have… his powers are fire and water… it could be anything… to be honest,"
"I wish we can tell Luna she would know since she's head department of magical creatures,"
"I know but, with her pregnant I don't want to her alarmed or worried over this,"
Blaise sighed tiredly "I know… I know… and I honestly don't think I want her to be worried either but, I guess we just have to keep it as a secret until we're out of ideas,"
"Yeah…and we need to get him some food?"
"But, how are we going to feed him if he hasn't hatched yet?"
"We're working on it remember,"
"Yeah… I just wish it was that easy mate…"
"Me too… B… me too.."
In the other side of the airport Hermione Potter, Luna Malfoy, Jay Granger, Charlie Weasley, Fred Weasley, George and his wife Ariel Weasley, Remus and his wife Tonks, their son Teddy, Andromeda and their children just arrived at their flights as they were just in time to head inside.
"Alright guys here's our flight—BX98012 London, England to Seattle, Washington that's our stop," Hermione announced "James, kids hold hands and keep close to me whatever you do don't let go of our hands alright loves," she murmured.
"Okay mummy," James and the kids muttered following their mother Hermione, their aunt Ariel, aunt Luna, uncle Neville, leading them inside the airplane with Charlie Weasley ending the line with his brother Fred and George Weasley. After a few minutes Hermione and her family were finally inside their seats were First Class if they're heading to their new home they might as well ride in style.
"Mione what class did you book us in?" Neville asked.
"First class I figured why the hell not," Hermione shrugged at this "It's much spacer then I realized,"
"Muggles are so fancy huh Mione," Luna smiled at this sitting next to her sister.
"You have no idea," Hermione murmured as the children were sitting in the middle seats while Luna, Hermione and Ariel sat in the right side while George, Fred, Charlie and Jay sat in the left side that had four seats on the other side of their kids then Remus, Tonks, along with Andromeda were sitting between the kids so it wasn't so bad.
"Hello, what can I get you ladies a drink?" one of the flight attendants asked.
"Yes, can I have a Ginger ale please with two sprites," Hermione answered.
"Of course, ma 'me," the flight attendant as she poured the drinks for them "Here your drinks ma 'me,"
"Thank you ever so much," Luna beamed at this as the flight attendant nodded at this "Oh and our children from the first four rows will have orange juice," she answered.
"And my husband one of the red-headed twins over there George—he'll have coke cola, and his brother Fred will have sprite, Charlie will have the same and our brother Jay will have Pepsi," Ariel explained.
The flight attendant blinked her eyes looking around the room noticing the people must've be a big family "Of course ma 'me I'll get right on it,"
"Thank you," Hermione answered pausing for a moment "I have a quick question?"
"Of course, what is your question ma 'me?"
"Do you guys sell Shirley Temple with extra cherries by any chance?"
"We do? Do you want me to add that vodka in your drink for you ma 'me?"
"No thank you just regular Shirley Temple please,"
"Okay ma 'me may I please have your i.d."
"Of course, here you go," Hermione passed her driver's license—Hermione Potter who she nodded at this.
"Thank you Mrs. Potter and I'll bring your drink for you would you ladies want one too?" she asked.
"Yes please, non-alcohol please," Ariel answered.
"Coming right up,"
"Thank you,"
"Of course, ma 'me and I'll bring up your breakfast menu momentarily soon,"
"Take your time,"
In the other side of America was … Arizona—Bella and Edward were currently staying with Renee, Bella's mum and her step dad Phil who took them to lunch until Phil announced that he had to run to practice so Renee accompany her husband while Edward spend his time with his girlfriend/fiancee Bella discussing some things. Since Edward's family-Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper were getting ready to head to Greece for vacation neither of them knew about the changes around Forks (a/n: I know this is probably random but, I figured I add them into the chapters-well some of them since I don't really like their characters very much and I really don't like Bella Swan-as for Edward Cullen eh… he's okay (lol) well that's enough of my rambing I'll be getting out of your hare and let you read the rest of the chapters)
"So Bella how's school coming along?" Renee asked her daughter.
"It's been good… classes are beginning to get hard but, I can manage," Bella murmured eating her pasta while Edward kept quiet.
"And you Edward? How's your classes going?" Phil asked trying to make conversation.
"Pretty well," Edward politely replied.
"So what does your parents do Edward?" Phil asked.
"My father Carlisle he's a doctor, he's really good at what he dos and my mother is an architect in town one of the good ones actually," Edward politely explained.
"Really?" Phil asked raising his eyebrow at the kid.
"Yes sir,"
"Hmm… that's good,"
"And you?"
"Baseball player I'm still getting there,"
"Phil's doing well at what he does. I'm very proud of him,"
"Thank honey," Phil smiled at his wife lovely then his cell phone rang recognizing the ring tone looking at the caller i.d. then frowned which wasn't notice from Edward who had a puzzle look on his face "I should get this it might be work excuse me," he murmured rushing outside.
However, Phil's new wife Renee, her daughter Bella and her boyfriend doesn't realize is that he knows what's been going on with his step daughter and her boyfriend in Forks since he's a wizard. He's not exactly happy but, he kept his emotions in control; he even talked to his wife Renee if she wanted to have another baby? At first Renee looked surprised by this but, told him that she on board to have another baby. When they went to the doctors two days ago apparently Renee is eight weeks pregnant since she wasn't feeling well it worried him vividly but, their both were stunned by the news when they found out.
The minute they came back home Renee told her daughter Bella over the news since their over the moon over the news expecting another baby but, Phil noticed a change over his step daughter… when he saw her reaction apparently she didn't look happy but, pretended to be for her mother's sake even Edward looked stunned by Bella's reaction and got into another argument over it in Bella's old bedroom in low tones and use a silence charm once he found a good spot to talk to his cousin.
"Hello?"
"Hey Philip,"
Phil sighed at this "Henri…how-how are you?"
"I'm great…"
"Are you… really?"
"Yes... "
"So … not that I appreciate you calling I am happy to hear from you but, you usually don't call me so … what's up?"
"What I can't call my cousin?"
"We haven't talked in over 3 years Henri?"
"6 years but, who's counting…"
"Henri…what's up? You sound… serious?"
"I'm not sounding anything… I mean what makes you think something's up?'
"Usually you don't call me unless it was business,"
"Is it a crime that I can't check my cousin?"
"Henri…"
"I mean it's not every day that my own cousin marries my ex-wife?"
"I didn't know it was the same Renee that you had a divorce with since I never went to your wedding?"
"I did invite you to the wedding but, you were busy…"
"I wasn't busy… "
"You were in Greece for a business trip over our family remember?"
"That besides the point…is something wrong usually you don't call unless it was serious Henri?"
Charlie sighed with a snort "Your right I don't usually call you but, I did wanted to check on you but, at the same time … I need to talk to you about my daughter…"
"Which one?"
"Don't be smart with me?"
"I'm sorry it's just… I'm surprised you're even talking to me after what happen between us?"
"I know… I was… hurt… betrayed… by a lot of things but, isn't about what happen between us … this is serious Philip,"
"Okay … lay it on me which daughter are you talking about? Is it Lexy?"
"No… she's okay she's actually at work right now…"
"Okay… if it's not Lexy then... " Phil started to realized it was his step daughter Bella who looked at the window chatting away with her mother Renee while Edward raise his eyebrow at him then turned to Bella who was being asked by Renee about school "It's about Bella isn't it?"
"How did you know?"
"Lucky guess… so what about Bella?"
"Are you alone in your office?"
"I'm outside with Renee, Bella and Edward we're having lunch right now,"
Charlie sighed and swore under his breath "Damn it… "
"Why what's wrong?"
"I was hoping I can talk to you in your office but, your out?"
"I can head home if you want?"
"No… no… then it will get suspicious … Edward will try to meddle he can't help himself… listen when you and Renee picked them up? What was your first reaction towards the kid?"
"You were right about your warnings about him… he tried to read my mind but, Henri he can't read my mind since it's protected I put one my barriers up it's pretty powerful since I got a good teacher remember"
"You damn well you did considering I taught you everything I knew kid and... good... so he only can only hear static then?"
"Yes, I have a powerful barriers inside my mind you know that,"
"Good just like I taught you,"
"Of course you always been my favorite cousin,"
"And yet you dated my ex wife,"
"I didn't know she was your ex wife Henri,"
"Yeah I know but, don't worry though I'm already over her…"
"Which one?"
"Don't test me kid,"
"Right… sorry…just trying to lighten the mood"
"It's fine but, what did you think of him?"
"He's polite?"
"Philip?"
Phil sighed tiredly leaning against the wall "He's … nice…"
"Philip…"
"I mean the twins Quinn and Edward got into an argument?"
"Philip…."
"And apparently Quinn doesn't like him at all,"
"PHILIP TYSON MATTHEW MONTRESOR?!"
"Okay… okay…Henri… no need to use my full name since everyone knows me as—"
"Philip Dwyer I know considering I was the one that came up with that name and since you loved baseball I figured you could be one just like your old man,"
Phil chuckled sadly "Yeah… he always loved baseball it's one of the reasons why I wanted to be a baseball player…" he began to say leaning against the wall "But, you were right?" he explained.
"About what exactly…?"
"About… everything… I should've … been more considerate over everything especially Renee… she just… told me that she was married once… I didn't realize it was with you … Henri and I'm sorry…"
"Like I said I got over it…"
"Are you?"
"Don't test me Philip,"
"Okay jeez… I know it's sensitive especially after what happen to Liyah and—"
"Philip I swear to god… just… stop… okay I rather not talk about my ex-wife over the phone thanks especially since that's my kids mother,"
"You loved her…"
"I know I did... but, I loved Aaliyah more… Renee was just… she just helped me heal over Aaliyah and the boys deaths … and I guess along the way I fell in love with her too.."
"It's okay to fall in love again you know…"
"I know… but, I got married twice… got divorced once in my 2nd marriage… I—look we're not talking about me… what did you think of him?"
"Who?"
"Who else would I be talking about Edward? I'm talking about Edward?"
Phil sighed tiredly "Jeez… okay straight to the point I see… he's exactly who you described from the past three years but, I never met the kid until now… Renee told me that Bella and Edward broke up last year… right?"
"They did…"
"And that Bella didn't take the break up well…"
"No… she didn't he left her in the woods?"
Phil furrowed his eyebrows at this "What do you mean he left her in the woods?"
"I mean they took a walk and he just left her in the woods,"
"Why... "
"How should I know all I know was that I was worried and next thing I knew … she never came home… I had to call Billy to get some help that's when Sam found her in the woods,"
"She could've been hurt then,"
"She could've … but, she wasn't… this was before I learned that the twins are shapeshifters?"
"Shapeshifters?"
"Being a wolf our grandfather was a wolf Philip?"
"Was he…"
"He was… apparently the twins Quinn and Alex inherited magic from our side of the family-they're both half-blood wizard and witch?"
"Really?"
"Yes?"
"And Bella doesn't have—"
"No she has no magic she's pure muggle. That's all Renee since she doesn't have any magic so… we're good on that part?"
"Really?"
"Yes?"
"Does Bella know about this?"
"Bella only knows that the twins Quinn and Alex are shapeshifters being in a werewolf pack but, not about them being a half blood wizard or witch. They used to attend Salem Academy of Magic a few years back but, decided to transfer schools to be close to home so she's pretty much in the dark about the twins having magic,"
"Jeez… so … the twins have magic while Bella doesn't which means Renee doesn't know?"
"Of course she doesn't know I haven't even told her that I'm a wizard… you know before I lost my magic… you're lucky you still have yours,"
"I know…"
"Hold on did you use a silent charm for us to talk?"
"Of course I did trust me he won't find out anything about our family background I made sure of it,"
"Good…"
"Speaking of … uh family background… Renee and I have some news…the only ones who knows is just Bella… and her boyfriend Edward we were going to tell the twins Quinn and Alex but, they left early this past summer"
"Oh… what sort of news?"
"She's pregnant… "
"Who? If that punk made my daughter—I'll kill him"
"It's not Bella Henri… it's Renee…"
"What…"
"Renee's pregnant?"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm quite positive considering we saw the … ultrasound two days ago Henri at the doctors because she wasn't feeling well we're both surprised by this notion"
Charlie sighed at this "Congratulations how far along is she?"
"She's nearly 8 weeks and—hold on you're not mad?"
"Nope… I told you I'm over her…and I'm happy for you you're going to be a great dad I can tell"
"Thanks… Henri that means a lot but, are you sure … because… when you found out … we haven't talked in over 12 years Henri until you called nine years ago when our youngest niece Hermione got into a war with her husband Harry and their best friend Ron right after we both apologize to each other?"
"I know... I thought about it long and hard... I'm always going to love Renee... and Aaliyah but, I have to move on with my life...right… and we both care about Mia as much as I like to admit,"
"I know it was wrong… but, I couldn't help who I fell in love with Henri… even if it's your ex-wife Renee…"
"I know… it took me awhile but… I was angry...but, after rethinking everything I realize I can't… stop Renee for leaving but, the thing that really hurt the most is that she could've prevent me and her from getting married in the first place but, then again if we didn't get married years ago we probably would've have Bells or the twins and I'm grateful for that don't get me wrong it just… made me realize that I shouldn't linger in the past any longer… which is why I decided to adopt a kid or maybe more than one kid?"
"Adopt more than one kid … so you're okay with us together"
"Yes in both questions I told you I've been over Renee over … 10 years … right before Quinn and Alex went to a private boarding school until they turned 16 years old... "
"Right… I'm just… glad that we can finally talk about this as a family and that's great… how many kids are you thinking of adopting?"
"Me too kid and well if the kid has a family like siblings I'd adopt all of them,"
"But, you don't have any room in the house though?"
"Oh don't worry about the house Phil … I got another house not even Bells knows about but, the twins Quinn and Alex know about it though?"
"Really...which one?"
"Yes really… do you remember Sirius Black our old friend… the one who helped me and Almaak a few years ago during the first war…"
"Of course …he saved yours and Almaak your life if it wasn't for him, his father Orion and his brother Regulus before they were killed right?"
"Yes that's right if it wasn't for them me and Billy wouldn't be here alive with new lives of our own.. but, he left the manor to Mia our niece,"
"Really?"
"Yes and it's a big property,"
"How big?"
"It's about … 650,000 six hundred and fifty thousand square feet and acres. Mia's already building a few houses around the property as we speak. I even made plans to upgrade on what I wanted for the house to look like for the kids. By the end of this year the house will be done under four months,"
"Really that quick usually it would take a year to build that long"
"Yes it usually does but, you know Mia she's preparing for the next couple of projects in Forks without anyone finding out that includes Bells and the Cullens they don't know about the changes until the first day of school,"
"First day of school?"
"Yes they changed the first day in Forks High?"
"Oh really to when?"
"August 20th not September 5th,"
"That's within 3 ½ weeks isn't it,"
"It is,"
"Does Isabella know,"
"Nope she has no idea… and guess who's the principle in that school now?"
"Who?"
"Mia? She's using a secret identity by Anastasia Wood to keep up with appearances but, the first day of school she's going to take off the mask by then,"
"Shouldn't Bella know about this since it's her school along with Quinn and Alex the twins,"
"She should… but, I want her to spend her time with her mother…and the twins Quinn and Alex already know about the first day since I told them the truth about us?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean after the divorce with Renee… I made sure to get full custody over the twins Quinn and Alex since … I didn't want to be alone ya know… while Bells stay with their mother… it was … hard for me to move on from that but, I had to be strong for the twins… and by the time the twins were 2-3 years old that's when I realize that they have magic … they must've inherited their magic rom me… and there's more?"
"More….? You knew they had magic since they were 2-3 years old?"
"I knew they had magic since they were born… just because I didn't magic that doesn't mean that I didn't feel it… "
"Really…?"
"Yeah...and …that's when they started to transform into a wolf… like Sam and the pack did the year before…"
"How old were they?"
"They were 15 years old… I knew it was a matter of time they were have strong magic but, I didn't realize they inherited the wolf gene from our grandfather?"
"Jeez… so they're pretty powerful like Mia, Jay and Ariel are?"
"Yes very powerful… and they been putting barriers around the house…"
"Barriers?"
"Powerful wards…"
"And yet it worked when Edward came over?"
"I think that was Lexy who wanted to use a fire spell for Edward in case he tries anything but, only if he's a threat so… I don't think the powerful wards thought he's a threat… they'll only do that if there's a threat?"
"And the wards didn't find him a threat?"
"Oh it did…it was more of a warning but, so far it's been good against our enemies... "
"Does Bella knows,"
Charlie snorted at this "Yeah she knows about the wolf pack apparently I wasn't good enough to know the truth but, she doesn't know about the magic I told the twins Quinn and Alex that it wasn't allowed not even for Bells,"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
[no answer]...
"Henri I know you want to protect her as much as I do but, I need to know … since this is my step daughter… sort of kind of it's a… lot of progress to be honest…"
Charlie sighed tiredly once again "Trust me I know but, it's not about our family anymore...it's about everyone... how much do you know about the Cullens,"
"Besides the fact they're vampires… who feed on animal blood… they're one of the respectful clans in the magical community … why?"
"Anything else?"
"Edward Cullen, Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale all have powers but, other than that not much… why?"
"Did Renee tell you what happen when Bella been living with the twins Quinn, Alex and I from the past 3 years,"
"She didn't have too since I already know what happen ...there's rumors that Bella wants to be a vampire … an immortal to be with Edward and that the twins knew about it and—"
"SHE'S WHAT?!"
In the other side of the country; there was one flight—Hermione's flight with her family were taking off when the kids strapped their seatbelts until they're up in the air.
"Hello passengers it's your captain Martinez speaking we're about to take off to Seattle, Washington momentarily if you need anything please let the flight attendants know. Thank you for flying in British Airlines to Seattle, Washington. We should be arriving around—9:00 am in the morning as scheduled signing off," the captain answered and that's when they took off to the air while the kids looked through the window in awe murmured to Jay, Fred, George, Charlie and Neville.
"Hey Mione," Luna whispered as she was sitting between Hermione and Ariel.
"Yes Lulu," Hermione yawned at this.
"How long will this flight take? Luna asked.
"About 11 hours," Hermione yawned "So we have a loooong way to go," she yawned again leaning her head against the pillow "Why do you ask?" she explained.
Luna gave a smile "Sounds like it's going to be a long ride and you should sleep Mione you look you might need it and no reason Mione I was just wondering," she explained.
Hermione yawned shaking her head "I can't do that the kids—they might need me… "she yawned.
"Trust me they'll be fine they have us… you need your sleep Mione since we'll have your uncle waiting for us at the airport soon,"
"That's true," Hermione murmured "Are you sure you don't mind,"
"I don't mind at all it would help me catch up with my reading,"
"Reading," Hermione yawned "Since when do you like to read," laying her head against her seat.
Luna lips twitch "I'm just reading the latest ones in Quibbler from daddy before I lost the magazine and the company…it's a good thing that Draco bought the magazine in America it's quite popular there" she murmured.
Hermione yawned "If you say so …and that's brilliant Lulu I can't wait to read it..." as she dozed off to sleep.
"Poor Mione… she must've slept late after the party in Wednesday," Luna murmured worriedly over her best friend.
Ariel gave a sad smile "She was crying the night we had the party when everyone left"
"What?" Luna asked looking at Ariel alarmed "Is she alright?"
Ariel sighed "Yes she's fine but, apparently Fred and George gave her something that belonged to our nana's heirlooms… Harry must've found it because when she opened the jewelry box it played her wedding song with Harry" she whispered.
Luna felt saddened over this biting her bottom lip "Poor Mione that must've been hard," she murmured that's when the turned on the takeoff seat belts sign since we're up in the air after 20 minutes being in the air "Be right back I'm going to the loo,"
Ariel nodded at this "I'll be here,"
"Mummy, mummy look, look," Percy and Arthur cried out pointed at the clouds.
"I can see that sweetheart," Ariel murmured.
"Are we on the air mama?" Emery asked.
"Yes, princess we are," Ariel murmured "Don't talk so loud sweetie your auntie Hermione is asleep right now,"
Emery yawned blinking her eyes "Sorry…" she began to say turning to her auntie then back at her mum "Mama does that mean we're no longer in England anymore?" she murmured.
Ariel yawned "Yes luv, I believe we're no longer in England anymore… we're in the air heading to America to visit your uncle grandpa Charlie he lives in a small town called Forks that's in Seattle, Washington well near it anyway since we're going to live there darling" she explained.
"What's it like mama?" Emery asked as she nuzzled laying on Ariel's chest softly not wanting to hurt the triplets.
Ariel smiled fondly over her little girl "Well, it's a small town not much to report really… there's a beach called 'first beach' it's really beautiful there—you get to see your uncle grandpa with his friends who happened to be mine, your auntie Hermione and uncle Jay's godparents," she smiled fondly over her home town looking at her husband George who was chatting over with Fred, Charlie, Neville and Jay as he gave a playfully wink to his wife who poked her tongue at him in return—it's kind of their thing "And when you're a little older there's a wizardly school in Seattle called Salem Academy of Magic hopefully things will work out luv," she explained.
"Really mama Percy, Arthur and I can go to another magical school in Washington," Emery perked up at this.
"We'll talk to daddy and see what he says," Ariel murmured.
"Tell daddy what?" a familiar voice asked causing Ariel and Emery to turn to see George with curiously on his eyes.
"Daddy," Emery perked up "Mama said we can go to another magical school that's near uncle grandpa isn't that great daddy," she explained.
"Oh really…?" George asked raising his eyebrow at his wife Ariel who nodded at this "Well if that's what you, Arthur and Percy want to go then I don't see why not luv,"
"I would love that daddy I really would," Emery perked up at this.
"Then your mother and I will consider it when we arrive to Seattle, Washington then," George explained.
"Yay!" Emery clapped her hands excitedly "Does that mean Barry and Anya along with the rest of our cousins can come too mommy,"
"Pretty much every one of your cousins really," Ariel murmured.
"That's really cool mama," Emery says.
"Yes, yes it is since I used to go to that school when I was a student before I transfer schools to Hogwarts it would be great to see my old friends again," Ariel explained causing Embry to perk up.
"Hey luv why don't you stay with your uncle Fred for a bit while I talk to mummy okay," George offered at this "And you can tell Anya and Barry the great news hmm?" he winked at his daughter.
"Okay daddy," Emery jumped off her mum's lap before she left she kissed the triplets on her mommy's tummy causing Ariel and George fondly smiling then she headed over to her uncle Fred who seemed surprised at this as he helped his goddaughter Embry up sitting him on the lap with Anya and Barry who was sitting next to each other watching the window in awe.
They left around 2:40 in the morning fifteen minutes early from their flight and left England from the past… six hours—it's a long way they have five long hours to go since it's now—6:00 am in the morning in Pacific Time. Ariel muttered under her breath causing the airplane to speed fast instead of arriving around 11:30 in the morning they were 5 hours early—6:45 am which neither of them seemed to mind.
"Hello passengers we just arrived at Seattle, Washington 6 ½ hours early then planned… I don't remember driving this fast…I must've went through the shortcut without realizing …oh well… it speed things up a bit so we should be arriving within an hour," the plot murmured sounding so confuse causing Ariel to giggle knowing why "Thank you for staying with us in British Airlines and I'm speaking for myself and the rest of the staff today we hope you enjoy your trip and see each other soon by flying with us next time in your next trip," he explained as everyone started to gather around to sit down since the plane was about to land without half an hour.
"That's a bit odd… I thought we were going to arrive around 11:30 not 6:45 in the morning," Jay began to say noticing hi sister Ariel who looked far from innocent "Ariel… what did you do?" he explained.
"Do what?"
"Ariel…"
"I may've speed things our flight a bit?" Ariel murmured.
Jay sighed pinching his nose knowing his sister "Ariel you should be careful knowing the muggles would have caught you," he scolded his sister.
"No one saw me Jay besides I haven't been able to move since I'm carrying for four people here," Ariel gesturing her stomach "Besides we're fine… everyone would've been cranky either way I just wanted to get this over with since it's took us awhile to get home," she explained.
"Yeah well..I should've known you always been inpatient even when we were kids," Jay pointed out pausing for a moment "You should let uncle Charlie know since we arrive 5 ½ hours early since he's picking us up with uncle Billy and uncle Harry thanks to you Ariel," he explained.
"Oops…" Ariel gave a sheepishly smile causing Jay raise his eyebrow "Okay.. okay I will text him as soon as we arrive to the airport so he won't have to pick us up not realizing we're already home… " she began to say turning to their sister Hermione "Mya…" she murmured.
[no answer]...
"Myabee… wake up sweetie…"
"Hmm… what? What is it? Is it the kids?" Hermione murmured.
"No, no the kids are fine we're just about to land very soon,"
Hermione blinked her eyes owlish "What do you mean?"
"I mean we're already near Seattle, Washington already,"
"What that's impossible we should be there in 5 ½ hours by now,"
"Yes, yes, I realize that but, … we're not…"
"But, why I thought we were going to arrive around 11:30 in the morning?"
"We are… but, we arrived a bit early then planned?"
"How early?"
"About 6:45 in the morning early?"
Hermione stared at her dumbly "How in Merlin did we arrive early …" she began to say noticing Ariel's guilty look "Ariel what did you do?" she explained.
"What makes you think I did something?"
"Ariel…"
"Seriously … I may be pregnant with triplets no less but, that doesn't mean I'm up to something,"
"Ariel…."
Ariel sighed at this "Okay fine… fine… your right… I may've speed things up a bit," she murmured.
Hermione sighed at this "Please tell me you were careful when you did this?"
"Yes I was careful no one saw me Mia," Ariel began to say as her lips twitched "And I always been impatient Myabee … 5 ½ hours is a very looooooooooooong time and I got bored,"
"You got bored—" Hermione pinched her nose in annoyance as she knew her older sister was set on something nothing can change her mind "Right you got bored and yes I realize that but, does uncle Charlie know about our flight changes since we just arrived early then planned,"
"Not yet I'm going to let him know when we're close to Seattle, Washington,"
"What time is it though and how far are we?"
"About an half an hour away and it's now 6:55 in the morning,"
Hermione yawned resting up a bit "Okay, wake me up in 15 minutes I just feel really tired," she murmured.
"Will do," Ariel nodded in agreement sipping her ginger ale looking around her family as she texted her uncle Charlie since there was Wi-Fi explaining their flight arrived quite early than planned.
Ariel's P.O.V.
We had a long week and finally heading to America since we just left England six hours ago and now we have 5 ½ hours left but, I decided to speed things a bit so now we're now arriving within half an hour instead arriving in 11:30 in the morning since I got bored and went to text uncle Charlie.
'Good morning uncle Charlie,'
It didn't take long for my uncle Charlie to text back.
'Good morning sweetie, you're awfully early I thought you'd still be in the air heading down to Seattle, Washington by now,'
'Hold on let me call you in a bit so we can talk okay since I have some bad news...
'Okay…'
Ariel got up with the help of Luna who helped her "I'll be right back Lulu I need the loo,"
"Okay I'll be here,"
Once Ariel was by herself she put a silent charm around the bathroom and called her uncle Charlie since it's now 7:05 in the morning they should be arriving soon.
"Hello?"
"Hey uncle Charlie,"
"Hey sweetie so what's the bad news?"
"Well… apparently we can't go home today?"
"What?! Why?"
"It's raining?"
"Raining?"
"In London we had to miss our flight today because of the rain it's rather pouring rather hard at the airport?"
"What you're kidding…"
"Nope so we have to wait until tomorrow hopefully the weather will be clear by then?"
"So… you're not coming… you… Mia… Jay… the kids… along with your friends… you're not coming today…"
"I'm afraid not…"
Charlie face fell feeling rather disappointment "Well… that… really sucks.."
"Yes… yes it does…"
"So… you're not coming so there's no point of me picking you guys up…"
"Yes I'm afraid so uncle Charlie…I'm sorry…"
Charlie sighed sitting on the couch "No… no it's completely fine … I'll think of something,"
"What do you mean?"
"Well your godfathers Billy and Harry are accompany me we were going to pick you guys up today and Jake too,"
"Jake as in Jacob Black being my godson and like a brother to me that Jacob Black?"
"Yes he insisted on coming along today since he wants to see Mia and the rest of you guys so … he even told Billy three days before they both found out that you guys are coming this coming Friday instead of next week he's really excited and now that you can't come… he's going to be so upset… and disappointed since I'm really worried about him?"
"Worried what for?"
"Well since he and Bells aren't talking … he hasn't been sleeping well…"
"Is he okay?"
"He says he's okay but, I'm still worried over him and he's going to be upset that you guys aren't coming today since he seems so excited…"
Ariel bit her bottom lip nervously as she felt a little guilty "Oh now I feel bad… "
"Bad…feel bad about what?"
"Yes...I feel really bad?"
"For what?"
"For lying to you uncle Charlie?"
"You lied…about what?"
"About us not coming today considering we're already here and I just wanted to prank you?..."
"What—you're—PRANK ME ?!"
"Yes…"
"Why?"
"I got bored…"
"You got bored…and decided to lie to me stating that you weren't coming today… Ariel… that wasn't funny…"
Ariel bowed her head in shame "I know… I'm really sorry uncle Charlie it just… sounded a lot more sense inside my head…"
"How does that make sense in your head Ariel?"
"Well… I thought it was a little funny?"
"Well it's not …" Charlie sighed tiredly causing Ariel to bow her head sadly "So… what did you mean your here? As in here… here in Forks or at the airport here?"
"At the airport...we're about 15 minutes away from the airport?"
"In Seattle, Washington? I thought your flight wasn't until 11:30 in the morning? It's barley … 5 ½ hours early then planned isn't it?"
"Yes… yes it is…"
"So you're really here nearly to the airport this isn't a prank right?"
"Yes we're really coming it's just… our flight changed that part is true?"
"What do you mean your flight changed?"
"Well instead of arriving at 11:30 in the morning… we're arriving within half an hour … well 15 minutes from now actually so… there's no need to pick us up since you have work today don't you?"
~*~End of Chapter Twenty-Five~*~
So… this is the longest chapter I wrote so far… but, I added a few changes here and there in each chapter. You probably notice how some chapters are longer than others. I tried to made it equal only to results to some longer chapters very weird but, oh well… I suppose when I have the time I'll rewrite the chapters to make it equal at least some but, we'll see how it goes. I hope you guys enjoy the 3rd half of the chapters.
