Chapter Sixteen

The next morning, Edward arrived in front of Charlie's house as Hermione was walking back from dropping Teddy off at Harpers house. Edward got out of his car and approached her, "Do you still want to ride to school with me?"

"That's fine Edward," Hermione answered with a smile. She grabbed her bag off the front porch and locked the doors, then turned back to Edward. "I'm ready to go."

He held the passenger door open for her then joined her in the car. "So do you mind if I ask you some things about yourself?" He asked after a moment of silence.

Hermione shrugged, "I guess you can."

"What is your favorite color?"

Hermione laughed, "Out of everything you could have asked me, that's what you chose? Well I don't have one; I have two, red and gold. May I ask you a serious question?"

"Yes," He said slowly.

"So your family does not feed off of humans, so what do you feed off of exactly?"

"We feed off of animals in the woods," He said.

"Not puppies I hope," Hermione said while trying to hide her small smile.

Edward tilted his head to the side, "No puppies are safe, mostly deer. Emmett has a preference for bears, and I have taken a liking to mountain lions."

"Oh." So Hermione knew to definitely not be around him in her animagus form until he knows her secret.

"What about your favorite book?" He asked after her moment of silence.

Hogwarts: A History, Hermione thought. "Well I suppose that it would be Frankenstein."

He laughed, "Frankenstein huh? It was a very good novel."

Hermione nodded, "Your family take another car to school today or are we picking them up?"

"They rode with Rosalie today, to give us some time to talk."

"Are they upset that I know the secret?"

He hesitated, "They were initially worried, especially Rosalie, she had always been very protective of our family. Now, with you knowing our secret, it is very dangerous. But they all seem to care for you very much, even though you're human. We have never gotten so close to a human before, but you seem to draw all of us in. So after everyone took a few hours to think about it, they weren't as upset. We now didn't have to hide anything from you."

"I'm happy that it did not cause any harm to your family, I would hate to be the cause of a large argument."

"You're fine, I promise. So, how about your favorite season?" And the little questions continued on the entire drive to the school, Hermione and Edward going back and forth with insignificant questions.

When they pulled into the parking lot they sat there for a moment, "There is sure to be a few rumors." Edward said while looking out his windows.

Hermione rolled her eyes, she had dealt with Rita Skeeter, so the high school kids don't scare her. "It will be fine, come on."

Throughout her morning classes, Hermione had heard all kinds or rumors circulating, but no one had actually approached her and asked. One rumor she couldn't help but laugh at was that she and Edward had actually known each other before she moved to Forks and that Teddy was their love child.

By the time she entered the cafeteria and sat down at the table Edward inhabited, she was torn between being irritated or laughing at what was being said.

"So how is our love child?" Edward said jokingly, with a smile on his face and Hermione couldn't help the laughter that spilled past her lips.

"So you heard that too huh? They aren't very imaginative."

"They aren't at all," he said. Then he tilted his head to the side as if he was listening to something. "My family would like to know if they can join us."

"Of course they can," Hermione answered with a smile.

A minute later they were joined with the rest of the Cullen family. Alice bounded over and sat in the seat next to Hermione with a large smile on her face, "I am so happy you know everything now! We can be ourselves now!"

Rosalie even smiled a bit, "I didn't want you to know about what we are, but I am glad that you are still someone I can call a friend."

"Yeah Bella! You're awesome!" Emmett said loudly.

Hermione turned to look at the only vampire she hadn't met yet. "Bella, this is Jasper, my husband." Alice said, her smile still plastered on her face.

"It is nice to meet you Bella," Jasper said with a nod. "I've heard a lot about you."

"All good things I hope."

"Naturally," he said with a small smile.

And that was how their lunch went, Hermione getting to know the Cullens better than before. She had to admit, now that they knew that she knew what they were, they seemed more comfortable around her. As they all spoke and asked her questions, Hermione couldn't help but feel just as comfortable around them as they did her.

The rest of the day passed the same way as that morning, though Angela and Ben did question her and Hermione told them both that Edward and her were just friends and he had kindly offered her a ride to school. By the time Hermione had been dropped off at home and picked up Teddy from Harpers, she was ready for a nap.

One look at her calendar had her groaning. Tonight would be the full moon, and even though Teddy did not transform, when the moon came up he was a lot more active. He liked to be outside, under the moon so they would both be up all night tonight.

Once the sun had gone down Hermione took Teddy into the back yard and sat him in the grass, "Okay Teddy, give mummy a moment and we will go into the woods."

He giggled and clapped his hands awaiting her transformation into her animagus form. Hermione dropped the glamour on her hair and then felt her body shifting and fur growing along her body, and soon a lioness stood where Hermione was a moment before.

Teddy walked up to her and she lay down and helped him onto her back. Once she was positive he wouldn't fall off, she took off into the woods, soon coming into a small clearing. She let Teddy down and he began to crawl around on all fours, trying to mimic Hermione. Then after a while he stood up and began to walk and roll and play in the surrounding grass. Sometimes Hermione would join in but other times she would just lie in the grass and watch him as he giggled and played.

Hermione knew she could come in her human form, but teddy always seemed more comfortable seeing her in her animagus form during the night of the full moon. Even though Hermione was relaxed, she kept her senses open, constantly checking to make sure that no vampires or wolves would come across them. And as she kept one eye on Teddy and one eye on the surrounding forest, she knew it was going to be a long night.
