Chapter 6

Bella POV

We landed outside of The Burow and started to walk towards the door when I heard her voice yelling from behind me I turned around.

"Izzy!" She yelled. She was the only one that had ever got to call me that, I despised the nickname but could never bring myself to tell her.

I was going to respond with a vigorous call of my own but before I could she jumped on me, wrapping her legs all the way around my waist as her arms went around my neck in one of the most furious hugs I had ever received, thoroughly removing my ability to speak. She had always been so light that with my built up muscle from all of the adventures I had been on she was the weight of a child to me. I hugged her back, remembering what else I would have done not too long ago.

Flashback- Nov. of 5th year.

I was walking down to the great hall when she came up beside me, not saying a word just falling into pace with me.

"Hey Beautiful." She said. "You know, the nargles are getting restless, they can tell it's almost time for the mistletoe to bloom."

I was always confused by her ramblings but she had the most wonderful imagination that I would usually just agree with her to keep her talking.

"So they like the mistletoe?" I asked her.

"Oh yes, it's their favorite nesting place!" She replied in her dreamy voice. After our short conversation we had reached the great hall, where we had to go our separate ways. Her to the Ravenclaw table and me over to my fellow Gryffindor's. She turned around and faced me pecking me lightly on the lips before going to walk away.

"Hey." I complained, grabbing her arm and pulling her back over to me. I snaked my arms around her waist and kissed her a little deeper before pulling away but she stayed in my arms. We just looked at each other for a few seconds before she danced off. I walked over to my table and sat down next to my brother.

"Where were you? You're later than usual." He asked me.

"I ran into Luna." I responded.

End Flashback

We started dating in the middle of October in my 5th year. We were each other's first relationships, and it ended well, so even though we weren't together anymore we still cared a lot for one another. She was one of my best friends, only 2nd to Harry, Ron, and Hermione who I counted as family rather than friends anyway, of course for Harry that was physically true. I was going through a small crisis in 5th year, thinking I wasn't good enough and I started freaking out about my scar even more. I couldn't morph as well back then, it didn't fully cover it up and took too much concentration. Almost all of my year mates started dating some in 4th and 5th year and I felt like no one would want me when my face was all marked up. But she changed that, Luna made me feel beautiful. We dated all through 5th year but that summer I was in a bad place dealing with Sirius' death and all of the stuff with Voldemort so we both mutually agreed it wasn't our time.

When I left school I fell for Edward and last I heard Luna had a small relationship with Susan Bones, that didn't work out, and is now steadily dating Neville Longbottom.

My mind was still occupied as I felt Luna slide off of me.

"When I heard you were coming home today I ran from my house. I had to see you! I missed you so much!" She told me.

"I missed you too Lu, I missed everyone. I can't wait to see Harry tomorrow!" I responded.

"I have to go, I'm sorry but my father told me to come straight back after I said hello, he needs me to help print The Quibbler." She sounded almost devastated that she had to leave.

"It's alright Luna, go ahead. I will see you at the wedding alright?"

"Okay- OH I almost forgot! I got you something for your birthday, but you can't open it until tomorrow." She told me while pulling a small wrapped package from her pocket.

"Thank you Lu, I'll open it in the morning, before we go and get Harry."

"Bye Izzy!"

"Bye Lu!"

Edward POV

"J-James? JAMES!" Sirius screamed sinking down onto his knees. "No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!"

"Ahhhh! Wahhh! Mama, mama!" A baby cried. Sirius' head snapped to the stairs, most likely expecting Harry and Bella to be dead as well.

"Oh God, are they alive?" Sirius questioned himself.

He jumped up and ran to the stairs, he stalled for a moment and tears finally escaped his eyes at the sight of Lily Potter, dead, just like her husband, dried tear tracks on her face. Sirius looked just behind her body to the crib, inside were his 2 godchildren , Sirius ran over and scooped them both into his arms, falling to the floor beside Lily. He started sobbing, over his happiness of finding the babies alive, his grief for his 2 friends, his anger at Peter, for his betrayal, and himself, for telling his friends to switch secret keepers.

We all watched helplessly as Sirius cried his eyes out. When the man, Hagrid, showed up we were all surprised over his large size, none of us had ever seen a human that large and we lived with Emmett.

"Dumbledore told me to come here and get them, he is taking them somewhere safe." Hagridinsisted.

"They are my godchildren, by law, and Lily and James, they are rightfully mine, I can keep them safe, me and Remus can take good care of them!" Sirius shot back.

"Dumbledore said-"

"I don't care what Dumbledore said, I care what Lily and James said, and they told me, me, to care for them. Me and Remus will be good parents to them, they are already familiar with us, I don't know who Dumbledore wants to send them too but Bella and Harry have only been around a few people since they were born. They already know us, we are the best option."

"Sirius, they'll be safe, isn't that what matters!"

Bella started whimpering and calling for her dad, I think she could tell something was definitely wrong. Her cries had woken her brother from his slumber and he then started crying too.

"Shhh! Shh! It'll all be alright, you'll be ok." Sirius calmed them down.

"Padfoo', Padfoo', where Mama?" Bella questioned.

"Mummy went on a little trip baby girl, your Daddy went with her. You and Harry are going to stay with me and Uncle Moony at our place." Sirius told them adding a 'hopefully' in his mind after the last statement.

"Moony! Unca Moony, we go see Unca Moony now?" Harry asked.

"Well now, Dumbledore said I was supposed to bring them to Number 4 Privet Drive, in Surry." Hagrid spoke up.

"I'm not sure where that is, who did he say lived there?" Sirius asked.

"He didn't, but you know Dumbledore, he wouldn't put these 2 in danger! He said they would be safe and we need to believe him!"

We watched them argue for about an hour and finally Sirius gave in, handing the children over to the giant man, who we had found out was named Hagrid, and disappearing after offering his motorcycle for Hagrid to safely take the children to the Dumbledore man.

We were sucked out of the memory and spit back into our living room.

"So that giant man, Hagrid, took Bella and Harry away for this 'Professor Dumbledore'." Emmett asked. "Well where is he taking them?"

"I think Bella said her aunt and uncle's was where she grew up but she told us they hated her and her brother, they wouldn't have been safe there. That can't be where Dumbledore is sending them. We need to watch the next memory to figure it out, the 5th one was from this McGonagall woman, do you think she is the one who took them there, or did Sirius come back for them?" Rose followed.

"Could be neither, someone else could have kept them, maybe another relative or a family friend. The whole point was them being safer than they could have been with Sirius." Jasper suggested.

"I think we should just watch the next memory and figure it out!" Alice jumped in.

"We can't, it's been almost 11 hours since Bella left. We don't know how long this next one is going to be. I have to be at work in an hour and I can't call in, I have a big surgery today." Carlisle told us from Esme's side, he was right of course but I didn't want to listen to his voice of reason, I wanted to know what happened to the love of my life.

We ended up having to let him go and we spent our time finding menial things to do while we waited for my father's 14 hour shift to end. It has been 5 hours since he left and we had read books, watched television, wrestled outside, tried to hunt, talked about Bella's past from what we already knew, and, to my severe annoyance my siblings had gone to their bedrooms and had their own fun. None of it worked in taking our minds off of Bella, her past, and what she was up to now. It was her birthday. I couldn't get that thought out of my mind all day. I wanted to get her something, I didn't know when she would be back for me to give it to her but I wanted to get her a birthday present.

"Guys! I'm going to the store!" I called, walking towards the door.

"Why?" Esme asked. At the same time as Alice yelled "Can I come!?"

"I'm going to get a birthday present for Bella, we don't know when she will be back but today is her birthday so I want to get her something." I responded as everyone came into the room with me.

Everyone loved my idea and wanted to come with me except Rose, she wanted to hunt, because with no one in the mood when we tried earlier we came back before anyone got any good kills.

Soon I was in the driver's seat of my Volvo with Emmett beside me and Alice, Jasper, and Esme in the back.

Rosalie POV

Was she really so bad? That was the question that ran through my mind for the 100th to that day as I heard Edward's Volvo pull away.

I had been thinking about Bella since she first sat down to talk. I mean was she human? Yes. Did she keep something from us? Yes. But did she have a good reason? I guess, if she was telling the truth, which I now thought she might be, death was about as good of a reason as they come. I didn't think she would tell anyone our secret anymore, she understood secrets, she had her own. One that was just as big as ours, bigger even. I wanted to stop feeling this way but I couldn't, I was sorry for her, and scared for her, worried that she would get hurt. I shouldn't have acted the way I had, she isn't so bad. She couldn't be if my brother was so inlove with her. I needed to talk to her as soon as she got home, I needed to apologize, I needed to… I needed to be her sister.

Edward POV

Went to the store but didn't find much that would be good for Bella. We still had a few hours to wait for Carlisle so we drove up to Port Angeles and went to the mall. All of us found something that would work but only me and Em ended up buying anything. Esme and Alice both wanted something bigger or more meaningful than what they saw in the mall. We headed back through Forks and Esme thought it would be a good idea to stop by the grocery store, for pretence, and none of us were ready to go home yet, well except maybe Emmett, he wanted to see Rose.

We went into the store and picked up a few normal human items and headed home.

"Charlie has spread around that Reene had an emergency down in Florida and Bella had to go down and help her. That way no one will get suspicious if they don't see her around town. Some people were thinking about it in the store." I told my family sadly when we got into the car.

They all nodded are thoughts drifting back to the fact that Carlisle would be getting home in 2 hours.

We all got home and sat around reading or talking, Esme and Rose were playing chess, just waiting for Carlisle. He finally got home after what seemed like forever. And we dove almost immediately into the memory.

We saw Dumbledore and Mcgonagall, who could turn into an animal just like Peter, Sirius, and James. We had yet to learn how they did that. They talked about Bella's parents, Harry, and Bella herself. We learned a bit from their interaction. When Hagrid finally came up on the motorcycle, they dropped off the children and left.

We came out of the memory and stared at each other with wide eyes.

"THEY LEFT 2 CHILDREN ON A DOORSTEP IN NOVEMBER!" Rose shouted.

I couldn't believe it either, they were just talking about how people might be after the twins and how they would be famous, now they were leaving them on a cold door step? We continued to rant and yell about the injustice of it all when Esme spoke up for the first time since we exited the memory.

"He said they would be safe, he never said happy, or loved, he said safe. I think that Dumbledore knew the aunt and uncle wouldn't like Harry and Bella, he knew and he left them there anyway."

So I didn't add Luna to the goodbyes list for 3 reasons.

1)I wasn't sure about Bi Bella yet when I wrote and posted it so I couldn't really put something in that I didn't know was happening

2)Even if I was sure I don't want the Cullen's to know about her being with Luna until we get to 5th year memories

3)I'm a little stupid

So if you would please bypass that inconsistency it would be greatly appreciated.

The memory that was from Minnie(that was on purpose, if you haven't heard it before it is a fan made nickname for McGonagall, if I mention her in a authors note I will most likely use it so I don't have to type out McGonagall every time) I basically just imagined it as the end of the first chapter of Philosopher's Stone, add Bella's name in a few times and poof!

The whole getting Bella a birthday present thing was basically just a long way of getting them out of the house so the Cullen's could figure out the cover story that Charlie told the town about Bella. Sorry if it sounds like filler or if the characters sound off, I wrote it fast.

The little preview into Rose's POV was an idea requested and given to me by mysteryheart and I do plan on diving into it sometimes. I love stories where Rose wants to make things better with Bella so that will be the main point of the Rose POV's. I have a Rose and Bella bonding thing coming up in another Twilight fic I have on my page, Darkness. Thank you mysteryheart for the idea.

When there are even little things in fanfic(or real fiction) that don't make sense or are confusing people notice. I know I do and I know other people do as well. So if you were confused about how I mentioned Bella was 'less-good'(for lack of a better word, it's 2 am and my brain isn't comprehending things right now) at her morphing skills in 5th year but then in the test memory Bella showed the Cullen's she is basically perfect at using her powers just late in the summer after 5th year, I'm sorry! I was going to explain it later in the story and probably still will for people who don't really read the author's notes. In my mind Bella took Sirius' death even harder than Harry did in the original books, and to help her get over his death she chose to focus on something else. Since she couldn't do school work or magic at the Dursley's she focused on her powers, perfecting them during every moment that her mind would usually wonder until she could morph anything on her whole body without so much as a second thought for immeasurable amounts of time, except when she is very upset but you have already seen an example of that.

It didn't outright say anything but I hope that you got the slight wolfstar hints. I like the idea that they were together in school and after but then Sirius went to azkaban, and when he got out it just didn't work anymore. Then Rem fell for Dora, and Pads died. But I do love wolfstar something bad so I had to at least put something small in there.

If you haven't yet answered the questions from previous chapters, please do! It would be very helpful to me and help the story go in a direction we will all enjoy.

Again, I am sorry for any bad Grammer, it's just me, and Google Docs spell check, writing and editing this story. I don't always see all of the mistakes, so thank you for reading over them, I apologize.

The next chapter will, most likely, be completely Bella POV. They are going to get Harry and I feel like it will take up a lot of time. I might try to stick in a small Edward POV but Im but sure yet.

And I know I'm posting too early but if I didn't get Bi Bella out there I feel like I would have gone insane so you are getting 2 chapters early this week but I should still post on Thursday.

Sorry for the long AN I just wanted to get things cleared up for everyone.

Thank you for reading and if you have any questions or suggestions 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.
