Chapter 2

Edward POV

"Because tomorrow is my 17th birthday."

"Your 17th birthday, you're already 17." I said.

"No. Bella Swan is 17, Bella Swan is in Florida with her mother, Bella Swan is not me." Bella said calmly. "Now I have to go home and get something but I'll be back, I've arranged to be picked up here, instead of at Charlie's. I'm being 'retrieved' as Rem likes to say, at 6:30, it's 4:45 now. I should be back by 5:15. That should be enough time to explain and get you set up. I love you Edward, I love all of you." She looked at me. "Can I kiss you?" I hurt slightly that she thought she had to ask but I understood she might think I was angry. I leaned over and pressed my lips to hers. I felt her smile against me.

"I love you, but I have to go. I'll be back in about half an hour."

"I love you too." I responded.

Bella POV

I got into my truck and drove home. When I got there I jumped out and ran up to my room. I pulled my trunk out from under my bed, along with the pensive from our vault and my case of memories. I had them from my years at Hogwarts, to important summer memories, and in a small locked section was memories of the atrocious acts committed against me and Harry by the Dursleys. I went over to the window and opened it up.

"Ophelia, come here girl. We're going home, you don't have to hide anymore. Ophelia, girl, Leia." I called, I waited a minute. "Stupid owl, Merlin!" I muttered, I want to my last resort, the one thing I knew would draw her in. "You want to see Hedwig?" I called out again. In 2 seconds I saw her big brown wings zoom into my room and land on my shoulder. "Hey girl, we're leaving, going home. But first I have to go over to the Cullens and say goodbye, do you want to fly over there or ride in the truck with me?" She nuzzled into my shoulder then took off outside again. I took my wand and its holster from my trunk and attached it to my arm, slipping my wand inside.

I grabbed my things and left a note for Charlie, telling him I was sorry I didn't have time to say goodbye in person, telling him thank you for letting me stay here, telling him he better not starve. I left it on the table and got in my truck, I saw Liea over head, sitting on a tree. As I pulled out of the drive she dived off of the tree and fell into place over my truck.

As I got to the Cullens, Edward was waiting outside for me.

"Can someone take the truck back to Charlie's after I'm gone?" I asked. He nodded at me moving to the back of my truck.

I went to grab my trunk but he beat me to it, grabbing the box of memories as well, he went to grab the pensive too but I stopped him.

"I'll get that, it's really important." I said as I hefted it out of the truck bed. I followed him inside and set the pensive on the coffee table. Emmett reached for it but I stopped him as I had Edward outside.

"Don't touch it! Not until I tell you can, it's very important and very fragile." I told him.

When Alice reached for it next and I stopped her too. "Alice, that wasn't just for Emmett, Dont. Touch. It. Again." I snapped glaring. The whole room had a shocked look on their face, I wasn't sure why until a strand of hair flew into, face. Not the brown that I had come accustomed to, no it was the bright red that I had grown up with. I knew what that meant, if my hair was back that meant that I was most likely back to my original form. Red hair, spitting image of mother, except for the eyes, those were my fathers, the only thing I didn't morph for my new identity. I was slightly taller, thinner around the waist, but a bit more filled out in the chest, I liked my original form best, but the other Bella was beautiful in my opinion. I knew what else was there too. The scars, both of them. The lightning shaped scar on my forehead from the night my parents died and the long jagged one that spans from my right temple, across my cheek, where it caught slightly on my lip, making it sag a little where the muscle was torn, then my chin, and down to a few inches below my left clavicle. A claw mark I received in my 3rd year at school. I learned an important lesson though, never stand too close to a changed werewolf. I ran over to a mirror in the hall, while everyone was still staring at me in shock.

I was right, every inch of me was different from what I had been looking at in the mirror for the last few months, except for the eyes. I started to freak out, my breathing speeding up. I kept trying to morph back but I was too upset to accomplish anything but a few strands of hair. When Tonks gets upset her hair would change to her mood, when I get upset I revert, back to my base. I usually had better control over my powers than even Dora but now I would give anything for her mood changing hair. When I started crying, Edward walked over to me from the living room while I was still trying to go back to my 'Swan' face.

"Bella?" He whispered. "What is going on? Are you ok?"

I wiped my eyes but kept my face down, I never wanted him to see that. I hated my face, how it was with that horrible scar. I wanted to keep it hidden at school but Harry and Ron in their brotherly ways told me I was beautiful. I still kept it covered most of the time but when it was just us or we were in the common room. I rarely ever morphed it during the summer, except around the Dursleys. I knew that I was nothing compared to Edward, as 'Swan' or 'Potter' but when I finally told him about my life I was planning on hiding the scars from him, he never got to see me like this, I had decided that almost soon as I decided I loved him.

"I'm fine." I said.

"What was that, why is your hair red, and those scars, what happened?" He asked, stepping closer.

"I'm a metamorphmagus, it's a type of genetic trait in the magical community. Not everyone has it, I can change my appearance at will. A friend of mine can do the same thing. It's pretty rare actually, but some past Potter had it and it manifested in me." I responded.

"And-um-the...the s-scars?" He asked shakedly.

"The pensive will explain." I saw he was about to ask what that was. "The bowl thing, on your coffee table, that I won't let anyone touch. I can show you my memories, you can watch them like you were there but i'll explain to everyone in the living room." I told him, while still staring at my feet.

I walked into the living room and sat down. "Bella, love. Please look at me." Edward asked. I shook my head.

"Bella, look at me." Edward asked, "Why won't you look at me?"

"I never wanted you to see it."

"See what?"

"My scar, its hideous."

"You're beautiful, I love your hair and your eyes, you are beautiful. We were just surprised, I just want to know what happened to you."

"Well we need the pensive for that." I lifted my head and spoke up louder even though I knew they could all hear the whole previous conversation. They all stared at my face some more but I chose to ignore it.

"The pensive, on your coffee table is a rare magical object in which you can view others' memories. I am going to let you watch mine, under 1 condition. You can't do anything rash, let the story explain itself. And I know that you all care about me but my life has been pretty sucky so please promise me that you won't hurt anyone because of anything that has happened in the past." They all agreed rather reluctantly. I pulled out the box of memory vials. "Now in this box is my memories, I have them all numbered, I want you to go in chronological order. I am going to go into a test memory now, with you so you know how it works, you might be a little confused, but you'll understand soon." I pulled out the test memory, it was one of my favorites, not serious, just me and my friends being very carefree. I walked over to the pensive and poured in the memory. "Come over here and then everyone put your hand in on the count of 3. 1...2...3." I plunged my hand in and felt myself being pulled into the memory. When I landed swiftly on my feet I looked around and giggled at the 7 vampires that had fallen on the ground. "Now just watch."

"Come in!" Ron called from in his room. I opened the door and ran in jumping on Harry's back.

"Guess who?" I asked Harry laughing.

"You have an accent?" Em asked.

I nodded. "My vocal cords are spelled, Moony is going to unspell it later. I can't do magic outside of school until the trace breaks tomorrow. And before you ask, all of the things that you didn't understand from that sentence will be explained later." I said.

"Get off me Bells!" Harry said, deadpanned, shrugging his shoulders to push me off. I fell onto the ground.

When I started to fall in the memory Edward stepped forward as to catch me. I grabbed his arm.

"You can't interact, you're not really here, nothing you do can change what happens. If you tried to catch me, I would have fallen straight through your arms. You can't change anything, it has all already happened. You need to realize that or you are not going to be able to get through these memories." I told them all gently.

I stood up as Hermione walked into the room, I looked Harry dead in the eyes and morphed into an exact replica of him the summer before 6th year.

"Be-Bella-a, how-what did you j-just do?" Alice asked while everyone else just looked at me like I had grown another head.

"I morphed, itll explain more about it in the other memories." I responded. "Watch." I said nodding my head toward the 4 of us in Ron's room.

"Get off me Bells!" I said in an imitation of his voice.

"Stop!" He said jumping up and running over to tickle me.

"Sto-o-o-o-o-op." I said, trying to catch my breath.

"Morph back and I'll stop!" he offered. I shifted back to myself. "Ok, ok, ok."

Ron and Hermione were laughing on his bed, I noticed that they were sitting so that their hands grazed and their shoulders touched. I shot a look at Harry and my eyes flicked to their hands. He nodded slightly.

"Me and Harry have been waiting for those two to get together since 4th year." I told the Cullens.

"Well, do you two want to go play some quidditch?" I asked looking in between Ron and my brother.

We were pulled from the memory, again I landed on my feet but the others fell over.

"So do any of you have any questions about how the pensive works?" I asked.

I received 7 'no's. "Ok, do you have any questions about anything else?" I looked down at my watch, 5:50.

"When are you coming back?" Edward asked, sounding pained.

I hated that I had to answer the way I did but I genuinely didn't have an answer to his question. "I'm not sure." I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "Until he's gone." I muttered.

"Until who's gone?" Alice asked.

"The man that killed my parents."

Hi so I wanted to ask a few questions so this story stays entertaining for all of my dear readers.

1)Do you want Bella to be turned? I am leaning more towards yes.

2)So because I kinda want Bella to be the more 'special' twin(because she is the main character and I'm trying to split up all of Harry's accomplishments between the 2 of them) I want Bella to be involved in the Triwizard tournament so do you guys want it to be just her or her and Harry?

3)Would you like a baby to be born between Edward and Bella? I will not behaving Jacob imprint on any such child because I think its creepy, also her name will not be Renesmee. 1)Bella's mother's name isn't Renee and 2)I was never a big fan of the name to begin with.

4)Bella or Hermione as prefect? I really want them both and am just about to change the logistics of the HP universe to make it where there are just 2 prefects of either gender. So no prefect Ron, he can live in the house next door with Fred and George, and 2 girl prefects but I have no idea.

5)Do you want Victoria and the newborns to come into play or just Victoria or maybe leave her out completely if that is what everyone really wants? I have a plan for either the 1st or the 2nd but I can't decide which one.

6)Pairings? So I'm usually pretty boring when it comes to pairings. I am full canon, with the exception of Wolfstar(though I do still love Remdora, and lean more towards marauders era Wolfstar as opposed to Harry's era), Neville/Luna, and (though not from HP or Twilight)Klaroline. So if there is a pairing that doesn't go against the ones that I already have laid out and I like it I might incorporate it in.

7)How about the Volturi? I don't know if I want to put them in at all but Ill leave it up to you.

8)Do you guys want character death? I am planning to span all of the way to the BoH so we all know who dies then but is there anyone you really don't want to die or someone you do. I might injure them badly but I don't think that I can kill Fred, Remus, or Tonks but I'm open.

9)Do you want more Jacob in my story? I don't like Jake/Bella pairing but I do like him as a character(at least in New Moon, he was done dirty in Eclipse)so if I bring him in more I might have him imprint, so he will not be romantically interested in Bella.

10)Would you like my chapters to be longer? I usually read and sometimes type on mobile so to me they are a good length but to some people who read only or mainly on a computer they might seem shorter.

11)Other POV's? I am planning on sticking to Bella and Edward, maybe an Alice or Harry thrown in every once in a while for a certain detail. If you want someone else I can see about throwing them in there.

12)Would you guys like it if Bella had had a boyfriend at Hogwarts? Of course they would have broken up and not really have been anything super serious but I would give her more history with other characters. I was going to have Bella and Luna date at one point but decided that witch, red hair, British, dead parents, and mystery twin were enough shocks for the Cullens and we didn't need to add Bi to the list also.

I'm sorry for so many questions. I just want to incorporate your ideas and get a feel for where you want the story to go.

I know it has been a while since I posted on any of my stories and for that I'm sorry. I have been really stressed with school lately and the death of a family member so I havent really had time to write or post. I am planning to make a posting schedule soon so I can get things more under control. I wanted to apologize for any grammar mistakes in my story. I dont have anyone to read them over and even though I try I miss them sometimes. It really annoys me when other stories have bad grammar, so I hate it when I spot something after I've already posted. I have 2 Harry Potter stories, 2 Twilight stories, and a crossover on my account, including this one. If you want to look at those. Again I am so sorry for my spotty posting. Thank you for reading my story, please review.

P.S. I do not support J.K. Rowling or her transphobic views. If you do I would kindly ask you to leave my page and any of my stories.
