It had been a month since Alice had seen Bella for who she truly was, she and Edward had told the family directly after he had come back from taking Bella home. they had agreed to pull away from her gradually, and they had.

but they had also noticed odd things happening around their new friend that fed Edwards witch theory. they had asked Carlisle of course but he had believed the witches had died off years ago. and the odd things that happened around her.

like the time Eric Yorkie had followed her around pestering her for a date he had ended up stepping in dog shit in the parking lot. and no one in school owned a dog.

or when Jessica Stanley had tried to trip her. the thick Heel of Stanley's boot had cracked and broke off.

or when in English her bag caught on the edge of the chair and it tore. she had mearly passed her hand over the small rip and when she pulled her hand away there wasn't a tear in sight

and so the Cullen's had decided to confront their friend. and today was suddenly perfect. Bella was out sick. so she couldn't interfere or learn Hekate's secret.

" Hekate, do you want to come over our house today?" Alice asked. Hekate smiled brightly. "Sure Ali, I'd love to finally meet your parents." Hekate said brightly

Alice smiled as well. "great! we have a few questions to ask you." She informed. Her siblings shot alice a look but Hekate's smile widened. "Wonderful! I'll be happy to answer them. and in turn i hope you'll answer some of my questions, it will be like killing two rats with one stone!" she chirped

Rosalie blinked. "isn't the expression 'kill two birds with one stone'?" she asked. Hekate nodded. " yes it is but I hate rats." She informed.

"Why?" Jasper asked. Hekate's eyes hardened. " My parents were killed because a man they thought of as a dear friend betrayed them to his master, we were in hiding. had he never betrayed them they would have probably still been alive today.

that man was a rat in every sense of the word." Hekate seethed. "was?" Emmett questioned. Hekate smirked. "He's dead now. and hopefully burning in the pits of purgatory for his crimes." She offered

The Cullen's stared. they got the impression she was responsible for the mans death, however you could hardly ask someone if they had killed another person while you all were sitting in a school cafeteria

later that day at the Cullen house, after being introduced to Esme and Carlisle they all sat down in the living room. Rosalie began because she was the closest to Hekate. "so, Hekate. we've noticed some odd things happening around you and we think we know what they mean." She hedged.

Hekate smiled and nodded. "go on." She encouraged. "Are you a witch?" Edward asked bluntly. Esme shot him a reproachful look.

"Yes" Hekate answered simply. The others staree at her. "why didn't you tell us sooner?" Rosalie asked. Hekate shrugged. "honestly i wanted to see how long it took for you to figure it out and confront me." She explained.

Rosalie nodded. "Well, since we know your secret. its only fair you know ours. We're vegetarian Vampires." Carlisle said. Hekate smiled, an unexpected reaction. " oh I know. I've known from the moment i layed eyes on you." she said

Jasper blinked, his shocked expression mirrored by the rest of his family. "how?" Emmett asked

Hekate chucked. "at the age of 11 wizards and witches across the globe get invited to join their respective schools of magic. the school I went to is called Hogwarts. we had numerous classes there

but one class DADA that stands for defence against the dark arts. teaches us about all dark beings, including vampires. and before you ask no we do not consider Vampires evil. dark doesn't necessarily mean evil. but thats a conversation for another time when i feel like getting into a nice rant about the nature and rights of magical beings.

anyhow the point is any 13 year old witch or wizard would be able to identify you." she said simply. Hekate watched as they processed the information. and she just knew Carlisle was dying to hear her take on how dark didn't equate to evil. but Emmett got his demand in first.

"Show is some magic!" he hollered excitedly

~Scene~

a few hours later everyone was sitting in the Cullen's living room again. Hekate had Transfigured rocks into dogs. made water whips. levitated things. fixed items Emmett kept breaking. just for the hell of it now that he knew Hekate was going to fix it.

and now came the Q and A. Hekate had given them permission to ask any question they wanted. no matter how rude or intrusive. Edward started.

"What was Hogwarts like? do you miss it?" he asked.

Hekate sighed. that was difficult. " yes and no. I miss the castle itself and the classes, and ghosts. I do not miss the people. well most of the people. I do miss my friends. Luna, Hermione, Draco, Blaise, Neville and Fred and George. but mostly I miss just being around the magic. Hogwarts was home, it was my escape from my relatives, even if I had a hard time there. " she said.

"what was your uniform like?" Alice asked. Hekate laughed and transfigured a few napkins intinto a replica of the Hogwarts Gryffindor girls uniform. " every house wore different colors. I was a Gryffindor so my Tie and skirt were red and gold." she explained. Alice looked at the uniform in horror. but kept her mouth shut, unwilling to offend.

"What classes dis you take? and what were they like? and who taught them?" Carlisle asked eagerly. She snorted. that was more than one question, but she would let him get away with it.

" well up until third year I took. Transfiguration, herbology, defence, charms, potions, and History of Magic. when your in third year you can drop classses or even take more. I took Arithmacy and Ancient Runes with Hermione and Draco. .

They were all wonderful. I had the hardest time in History, until I started self studying. the teacher is dead boring. pun intended." she said snickering.

The Cullen's looked at her curiously. "the teachers a ghost." she explained. and her company's expressions betrayed their shock..

Emmett recovered first. "Cool! what sports do you have?" he asked.

Hekate smiled brightly as her eyes gleamed. "Quidditch! its the best sport ever! I used to play as seeker for my house team, I was the youngest seeker in a century, and I never lost a game! okay, so there are seven players. Three chasers. Two beaters. a Keeper and a seeker. then you have the four balls. the Quaffle, two bludgers and most importantly the golden Snitch. there are three goals for each team. its the keepers job to defend the goals. did I mention this is all done on broomsticks?

anyway the chasers job is to get the quaffle through one of the other teams goals. each goal is worth ten points. next we have the bludgers. think two cannot balls doing their best to knock any player off their broom, its the beaters job to keep the bludgers away from their players and simultaneously knock the bludgers towards the opposite team using their besters bats. think of a caveman club thats smooth and you have a beaters bat.

then there is the golden snitch. the game doesn't end until the snitch is caught. the longest ever game lasted four months, with substitute players switching out so the teams could get some sleep. don't look at me like that, its a brutal profession. anyhow its the seeker's job. thats me. to catch the snitch. the snitch is worth 150 points-" Hekate continued to talk about quidditch, relating her favorite games, a play by play of the most recent world cup as well as a passionate explanation on why exactly the Holyhead Harpies were the best in the league and insisting that the Applebee Arrows were going to loose in their upcoming match. which just so happened to be playing in the American quidditch stadium.

located in the wizarding city called Utopia, the entrance was through the bottom of the W on the Hollywood sign. and after Emmett suggested they all go. Hekate squealed and swore to buy tickets for all 8 of them later that night.

the questioning continued for a few hours after that, and after explaining what a house elf was and why they needed the bond Hekate fell asleep on the couch.

" you should take her to your room!" Alice chirped. Edward gave his sister a sharp look but nonetheless gently picked up Hekate. turning quietly to carry her up the stairs and into his room.

Edward unconsciously smiled as she sighed in her sleep and cuddled into him

well there you have it. chapter 2. leave a review, tell me what you think. is Bella going to just let this go? how long will it take for Hekate and Edward to get together. only time will tell, tune in next time. blessed be!
