Summary: 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?

A/N: Please don't kill me. I know it's been a while and I am so sorry about that. But to be honest I had no idea where I was going to go with this, I mean I had a rough outline of what I wanted but the words just didn't seem to work. To be honest, I'm not totally happy with this chapter - or with this story - much. I was thinking of maybe redoing it later on... after I finish this and about a billion other stories I have on hold. But let me know what you think? Is it good enough or would you like to see a revised and refined version of this sometime in the future?

I hope you do forgive me for abandoning you for over a year (yikes) and hope you like this chapter anyway.

Chapter 37

Draco could feel his nervousness bubbling under the surface as he exited the bright red train, taking a less direct route to his DADA professor, her boyfriend, the bookworm that hated him, as well as the vampire family.

"Draco," Bella called out when she saw his familiar head of blonde hair coming towards them, "Come on then, we were just waiting for you." She gave him a warm smile which made him relax. At least someone didn't mind if he was going with them.

Hermione spared a glance at the silent blonde who was shying away from any interactions with the group. Despite his dishevelled looks, he really was quite handsome, she thought to herself. Suddenly she was glad that Ron or Harry hadn't been around to take notice of her suddenly flustered state.

"Okay," Bella called out, instantly getting the groups attention, "we should get going. Don't want to run into any surprises. And I'm sure Moody a rescue mission." She quietly muttered, ignoring the snickers coming from some of the vampires. "So let's go." She finished with a bright smile aimed at the teenagers and ex-convict, ignoring the Cullen's for most part.

Quickly they gathered around, grabbing a piece of string with one hand while holding onto their personal belongings in the other. With a familiar tug at their navels, they were off.

Almost as soon as Draco had steadied himself, he was accosted into a hug. All he could see was a head of blonde hair that was quite similar to his own. "Mother," he whispered in relief before copying her actions and wrapping his own arms around her, ignoring the sting in his eyes.

Hermione couldn't help but smile at the sight before she was ushered away, getting pulled into her own hugs from her friends who had been waiting for her in the kitchen. None of them had noticed the solemn look that was exchanged by the three remaining Marauders. They had to tell Harry everything before the end of the Christmas holidays.

Bella let out a sigh of relief when she heard a knock on her door allowing a distraction from the horribly written essays of her students she had set before the holidays. Wand in hand, she stood and opened the door. On the other side was the last person she ever thought she would see today. The nervous vampire continued to play with her long dark hair, "Uh, can I come in?" Anna questioned shyly.

Bella nodded while she moved out of the doorway to let her through. Her wand was still clutched in her right hand as a safety precaution, she told herself. "What do you want?" Bella finally questioned rudely.

"Listen," Anna shot out, sounding a both nervous and defensive, "I just – I wanted to apologise. I know that we have disrupted your life, maybe more than we both realise, and I just wanted to say I am truly sorry about my part in it."

Bella looked at her in shock and suspicion, the vampires words not fully sinking in, "And," Anna continued before the witch could find her words, "I know that Edward is still in love with you, even if he might say otherwise. So if you... I mean..." Anna couldn't seem to get the words out without looking like she was about to cry, but Bella seemed to snap out of her trance and realised what she was trying to say.

"No!" She yelled, probably louder than she should have, "No. Never. Nuh uh. Nope." Bella continued on for a while until Anna's loud laughter broke through.

"Okay, I get it. You don't want to be with him. Can – can I just ask why? I mean the whole family used to tell me about how you fit in with them perfectly." She looked a little sad at the thought before Bella's voice broke through.

"Because I didn't, or at least not really. I was there as part of my mission, I was playing Bella Swan, that was the girl they loved. They don't know anything about Isabella Snape, despite them thinking otherwise." She could see that Anna was gearing up for some sort of rebuttal of sorts and quickly continued, "Besides, I don't love Edward. I don't think I ever did." She confessed "I think I just needed to feel some sort of acceptance to ignore the fact that I wasn't here."

"You know he thinks you're his mate, right?" Anna blurted out after a couple minutes of silence.

"But I'm not!" She insisted, "And even if I am, it doesn't mean that I am going to be with him, especially since I don't love him!"

"You love that... Sirius guy... don't you?" Anna asked, in a surprisingly soft voice.

"Yeah," Bella breathed out, "I do. Merlin help me, I do."

Anna nodded seriously, "Then I will do everything in my power to get Edward to back off. Alice too," She added as an afterthought.

"Thank you." Bella replied gratefully, "I would really appreciate that."

"Is it – is it okay if I come and talk to you once in a while?" Anna asked hesitantly, "I just feel better and comfortable around you, and, to be honest, I could really use a friend."

Bella wasn't expecting that, but nodded anyway. With a shared smile, Anna turned to open the door, with her mouth suddenly dry Bella turned back to her desk to pick up the pumpkin juice she had been drinking earlier.

"Cute dog," Bella heard Anna say as she was leaving making Bella freeze in her spot, her hand still reaching for the cup. Shutting her eyes she slowly turned around, hoping that this was all a dream. "How long have you been there?" she could hear Sirius change back into his human form and soon she could feel him as he stood in front of her, leaving barely any space between the two when he gathered her in his arms.

She took in the comfort of the familiar scent of her boyfriend as she buried her head in his chest while ignoring the loud thumping of her own heart. "I love you too," She heard him whisper in her ear. She froze once more. Only this time she was trying to convince herself that this was real.

She could practically feel Sirius smirking at her. Before she could cuss at him, which he had probably predicted, her lips were suddenly occupied and all thoughts fled from her mind, only focusing on the man in front of her.

"I take it you forgot that we're here then Paddy?" Bella squeezed her eyes shut in embarrassment, suddenly wishing this was a dream once more. She really didn't think that Remus and Harry would be there when they confessed their love for each other.

Clearing her throat, Bella pulled away from the hug, though keeping her hand in Sirius', before turning to stare at the two grinning members. "Harry, we need to talk," she stated gravely, she noticed the smiles were wiped away quickly when they took in her serious tone.

Moving forward, she guided the teenager to the couch, he tenderly took her hand when she offered hers.

"We talked to Dumbledore. You should know what's going on..."

FLASHBACK

"We have to tell Harry everything,"

"My dear," Bella's eyes narrowed at the patronising tone the Headmasters voice had adopted, "Harry is just a boy. He is too youn –"

Bella interrupted with a scoff, "He's too young? Seriously?" She stood up angrily, making the aging wizard look up at her, shocked, "Was he too young when e was being treated worse than a house elf when he was with his 'relatives'? Or when he faced Voldemort in his first year when he went after the Philosophers stone that you had kept hidden in a school full of children?

"What about when he was alienated by his peers because he could speak another language? Or when faced with a 60 foot basilisk with only a sword at age twelve?" She continued before he could interrupt. "How about when he was forced into a tournament designed for 7th years? Was he too young when he had to watch his friend die and then be forced into a dark ritual, and then a fight with Voldemort again?"

Bella seemed to calm down a little at this point. "He doesn't need to be coddled," she concluded, "he needs to be given the information we know to stay alive."

Dumbledore looked thoughtful, "Very well," he finally said, "I'll –"

He was cut off once more, "Oh no, Albus," she glared, "I'm sorry but I can't trust you to not tell him everything." She took a deep breath, "I'll tell him." She closed her eyes, hiding the tears that had gathered quickly over her godson's lost childhood, "About the prophecy... and the horcruxes."
