And we're back. To those of you who guessed correctly, give yourselves a cookie. Yes, Bella was under the spell. The spells means Journey of the Mind, meaning her mind showed her sceanario of her losing one of the men and from that she could determine who she loved. To 'OMG', the guest, I have chosen a ship and actually have never deviated from it. Jacob never changed his mind as that previous chapter was the spell :) Also, withholding the information that Hermione is a witch is not dumb. It was done on purpose. As I have repeated numerous times during this story, Hermione doesn't want to do magic anymore and so sees that part of her life is gone, and irrelevant to her new life. However this is one of SIX parts, so there will be a sequel to this which reveals she's a witch. So please, read the author's notes and trust the author before you criticise.

Chapter Twenty Four

It's On Again

Bella sat up with a gasp. Her wide eyes took in her surroundings. She was surprised to see she was in Hermione's living room, the girl in question still sat beside her.

"What…What happened?" She asked.

"You went into a trance. What did you see?" Hermione explained.

Bella looked down at her hands. "Edward's my only love."

"The sp-hypnosis worked." Hermione grinned, hoping the Muggle girl didn't catch her slip up.

"Thank you." Bella gave a smile, getting to her feet. "I have to tell him!"
Bella rushed out of the door, not evening stopping to say 'Hi' to Jacob, who was just about to enter the house.

Jacob entered the house and looked back over his shoulder, bewildered. "What was that all about?"
"She realised that she loves Edward, and only Edward." Hermione told him.

Jacob looked at her with wide eyes. "Really?"

Hermione nodded. She bit her lip and looked at him shyly. "Are you alright?"
Jacob walked quickly over to her and kissed her. "I'm perfect. Now she won't be hurt when we marry."
Hermione gave a smile of relief and hugged him. "You're so sweet. Always thinking of others."

Jacob smirked and kissed his fiancé. "So, Remus and Teddy are away and you have the house to yourself?"

"It would seem so." Hermione smirked, taking him by the hand and leading him to the stairs. "We might as well take advantage of it."

Bella cursed her truck as she sped towards the Cullens house. At any other time, the truck's slow speed was perfect for her. But she really needed to see Edward, to tell him how she felt before it was too late.

Bella's heart skipped as the truck skidded to a halt on the loose earth of the drive. The thought flitted through her mind that she was going to crash.

When the truck came to a solid halt, Bella leapt from the cab and hurried into the Cullens' house.

Edward sat up from his seat and looked at her. "Bella?"

Bella didn't say a word and just ran to him. She threw herself into his marble body and kissed him. Edward returned the kiss, if a bit bewildered.

"What was that all about?" He asked when Bella drew back for air.

"I love you. It's you, it's always been you." Bella gasped out.

Edward's eyes narrowed. "What about Jacob?"

"I love only you."

"Really? Are you sure this time?"

Bella gasped, shocked that Edward would even say such cruel words to her.

"We were engaged and you still were jealous when Jacob imprinted on that Granger girl. So how can I trust that you really do love me and only me?" Edward continued.

"I…I went for help." Bella protested.

"Help?" Edward frowned.

"From Hermione. She knows hypnosis. She sent me into a trance and…" Bella trailed off, not wanting to relive the memories of the world the hypnosis had created.

"And?" Edward prompted.

"I saw you die." Bella finished in a whisper.

"What?"

"I had a vision. In it, I chose Jacob. The consequences brought about your death. I couldn't bear it. I thought about killing myself, and then I woke up." Bella explained.

Edward paused. He had never heard about hypnosis that worked like that. This Hermione was a strange woman and he was certain it was linked to Remus' odd scent.

"You really saw all that?" Edward asked.

"Yes. I didn't just see it, I experienced it." Bella agreed.

Edward reached out to cup her face. "Bella, I-"

"I know that you find it hard to believe me, but you have to trust me. I love you more than anything in the world. You are my world."

The door opened and Edward glanced behind her. The rest of the Cullens were back from their hunt.

Alice looked as though she were vibrating with excitement. Edward shot her confused look and was answered with a grin.

'I see the wedding being back on.' Alice thought.

Edward's lip curled briefly.

'Her feelings are genuine, Edward.' Jasper directed his thoughts to his brother. 'She really does love you. Just as much as I love Alice, Emmett and Rose love each other and as much as Esme and Carlisle love each other. It's the love of mates.'

Edward looked back at Bella's desperate, tear filled eyes. His hand stilled rested on her cheek and he smoothly wiped away a fallen tear.

"I love you too." He sighed.

Bella's face shone with joy. "I promise, I will never even think of another again. You're all I want. Forever."

Edward chuckled. "Then I guess the wedding is back on."

"But the date, it's so soon." Bella gasped.

"It's alright! We can get it done in time." Alice chimed. "After all, we never need to sleep or eat like humans do!"

Jasper grimaced. "Now look what you've done. You've put Alice into wedding planning mode."

"Hey!" Alice gave an indignant cry.

"I love you." Jasper purred, using the full force of his accent.

Alice sighed. "Forgiven."

Bella giggled and turned to face Edward, her very own topaz eyed Greek god.

"We ought to resend the invitations." She whispered.

"We'll get right on that." Esme assured her. "For now, go rest."

Edward scooped Bella into his arms. She hadn't slept the night before and now it was late afternoon, early evening. She stifled a yawn and curled up in her lover's arms.

Edward carefully lay Bella on his bed. She immediately curled into a ball and lazily pulled the covers over her. Her eyes fluttered shut and within a few moments, her regular breathing pattern deepened and she succumbed to sleep.

Edward stood, as he had often done when he first met her, and watched her sleep. It always amazed him and made him jealous how peacefully she could sleep, even when she was in the presence of monsters.

In her sleep, Bella sighed and snuggled further into the bed. "Edward."

"I'm right here." Edward whispered, sliding in beside her.

She groaned and moved over so she was led against his side, her head and hand resting on his chest.

"I love you." She murmured, drifting even deeper into her dreams.

"I love you too." Edward kissed her temple.

He was so glad the wedding was back on again.

The next morning, Jacob walked down the stairs to find his loving fiancé whipping up a fried breakfast, dressed in a pair of sleeping shorts and an oversized t-shirt with the word 'Gryffindor' emblazoned on it.

She wouldn't tell him this, but it used to belong to Ron. She had adopted it when they were dating and never slept without it on.

"Good morning." Jacob purred, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her neck.

"Hmm, morning." Hermione smiled. "Sleep well?"
"Wonderfully." Jacob grinned.

"Take a seat. Breakfast is nearly ready." Hermione instructed.

Jacob took a seat and glanced around the room. His eyes fell on a pile of post on the table. On the top of it all was a slim piece of card, relieved of its envelope.

A wedding invitation.

"So Bella's still marrying Cullen then." He said, picking up the invite.

"Yep. And this time I'm invited!" Hermione beamed.

"Well you weren't exactly around the first time. And you would have gone anyway, as my plus one." Jacob smirked.

"I know. I just haven't been to a wedding in ages! I love weddings!" Hermione replied, giving a soft smile.

"So you'll love our wedding then?" Jacob grinned.

"Of course. Even more because I'll be the bride." Hermione nodded.

Jacob shook his head. He stopped, lost deep in thought.

Hermione placed his breakfast in front of him and was both worried and surprised when he didn't immediately begin devouring it, as was custom for the pack members.

"Jake?"

Jacob blinked and looked up at her. "Hermione, what do you think about having the wedding in three months?"

Hermione's eyes widened. "I thought we were having a long engagement, to get to know each other a bit better. I mean, it's too soon. We've only known each other just over a month. Why so soon?"

"Bella's marrying Edward again, which means she'll be turned." Jacob explained.

Hermione knew all about the Cullens, not only through her own knowledge, as the Pack had explained the story behind the Cold Ones and the pact with the Cullens.

Jacob continued. "That means the treaty will be broken, and we'll probably be at war. I don't intend to let Sam kill Bella, which means I'll be on the opposing side. If I die-"

Hermione made a sound of protest as the thought.

"If I die, then I want to firstly make sure you're provided for. We don't have much, but my Mom left me some money in her will. That will go to you if I die and we're married. Secondly, I want to die knowing that I was married and happy with my true love." Jacob concluded.

Hermione gave him a tearful look. "You won't die. But fine. The wedding will be in a few months."

Jacob grinned and reached out for her hand. She gave it to him and he pulled her onto his lap, kissing her.

"Thank you. I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." Hermione smiling, nuzzling her man's neck.

A sudden thought struck Hermione.

"I've only got a couple of months till the wedding! How the hell am I going to plan a wedding in three months!?"
