Here is the next part... please don't hate me for the abruptness.. you'll see... And it said Umbra means name given to the shadow cast by a celestial object that entirely blocks illumination. I thought it might fit a bit for the second book... Idk for sure yet lol. And I don't think that Harry will come because he's helping with the search of Bellatrix. I was thinking George because, yes, he is amazing with WWW but his brother also died and so he may still be upset and not his best, so if he left and maybe someone imprinted on him then it could help him a lot. But Please leave your reviews and let me know what you think of this chapter!

Oh! And my amazing cousin DarlingPotato has posted a small one-shot/possible story about Renesmee and Jacob getting married, if you could just pop over to her page and read and leave a little review for her. I've told her how awesome you guys all are so I was gonna try to help her out!

And I challenge you guys. Could you help me get to at least 200 reviews? I'd reward with two more chapters as soon as the goal is reached ;) but i think reaching 200 would help me accomplish my personal goal!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Twilight.

*I put another disclaimer up because when Edward is speaking about his family I pulled most of it directly from the book. Pages 331-337, 341, the others I couldn't find the exact pages that their info was on...

Chapter Twenty

Hermione's eyes fluttered shut as soon as his lips touched hers and she couldn't do anything but sigh in delight. The kiss was short, but it was the sweetest kiss she had ever had and she had only kissed one other person besides Edward. That person being Ron, but this kiss seemed different than the one she had shared with Ron, like it was supposed to happen. As Edward pulled back, Hermione kept her eyes closed for a moment longer.

"Wow," Hermione whispered.

"I agree, wow," Edward said as he looked at Hermione.

Hermione sat back and opened her eyes and look into Edwards, "I wasn't expecting it to feel so…"

"Right?"

Hermione blushed, "Yes, I guess that would be the word I'd use." It felt like for the first time Hermione didn't know what to say, so she cleared her throat, "So you said that I could ask you some questions."

Edward nodded while scooting back a bit.

"Okay, can you tell me about your family?"

He smiled and shook his head, "You continue to surprise me Bella. Carlisle was the first of us to turn; he was the son of an Anglican pastor in the sixteen-fifties. His father had regularly led hunts against witches, werewolves, and vampires. He was placed in charge of the raids when his father became too old to do so, though his father never liked how Carlisle was never quickly to accuse. Carlisle was very smart though and eventually uncovered a true coven of vampires. It was when they were hunting them when Carlisle was bitten by a vampire who had to have been ancient; he called to his coven to run when he caught the scent of a mob approaching.

"Carlisle believes that the vampire was very hungry, and that is why he didn't outrun them and bit him. The vampire had let Carlisle go when more of the mob showing up, quickly killing two more and taking a third with him. Carlisle was left to die in the street when he gathered the strength to hide in a cellar, buried underneath rotting potatoes for three days. He kept as silent as he could through the transition and when it was over he ran he did not want to accept what he had become. He starved himself and tried to kill himself but it couldn't be done. Until one day he became so thirsty that he attacked a passing deer, and then he knew he didn't have to feed off of humans, he didn't have to kill.

"He turned me first; I was dying of the Spanish influenza in Chicago 1918. He had wanted a companion for a while but he wasn't exactly sure how the process worked. But he had been the doctor to both of my parents, and I had no hope of recovering when he decided to try after both of my parents passed.

"The next was Esme, Carlisle's wife. He had known her when she was a girl, he had healed her. And when she was wheeled into the morgue after trying to commit suicide after the death of her newborn, he knew he couldn't let her die. So he turned her. Rosalie was next, but her story is not mine to tell. Two years after she was changed she found Emmett dying in the woods after he was attacked by a bear and she carried him all the way to Carlisle so that he could change him."

"What about Alice and Jasper?" Hermione asked, completely intrigued with how strong Carlisle must really be, to have denied human blood as a newborn vampire and then to turn four humans into vampires without draining them.

"Not much is known about Alice before she was turned into a vampire, all she can see is darkness. But Jasper, he was changed in the 1860's he had a rough start before meeting Alice in 1948 and then they soon joined our family. Maybe both Jasper and Rosalie will tell their stories someday."

"Yeah maybe someday, and Alice knows nothing about her past at all?"

Edward shook his head, "Nothing at all, even when she tried to think about it when I'm around, all we get is darkness and if vampires could get a headache, I'm sure she would have one. So now she just lives for now and tries not to dwell on her past. She believes if she is meant to know then she will eventually remember." Edward looked down at his wrist were a watch rested, "We should probably get back, it's almost five in the evening."

Hermione was shocked; it hadn't felt like they had been here that long. She stood up and picked up Teddy and her bag, "Okay let's get going. I'm sure Charlie will be home soon."

They had begun walking back when Edward paused and a smile blossomed across his face. "Would you like a ride?"

Hermione arched an eyebrow, "A ride?"

He nodded, "You can get on my back and I can run back, it would save us a few hours of hiking downhill."

Hermione thought on it a moment before she shrugged, she knew that Edward wouldn't do anything to purposely hurt her. Though, it slightly frightened her that she felt as if she could completely trust him even though she has only known him a little over a month.

She climbed onto his back and pulled Teddy to her front and securing him there and then wrapping her arms around Edward's neck.

"Hold on tight, and you don't need to worry, I won't drop either of you." He said with a smile.

As soon she began to run, Hermione felt as if she had the wind knocked out of her. Trees began to blur by and suddenly they were at his car. She knew she definitely preferred apparition.

She closed her eyes for a moment and then took a deep breath, but Edward's worried voice made her open them. "Bella? Are you okay? I didn't frighten you did I?"

She shook her head, "No Edward, you did not frighten me, I just should have closed my eyes before we took off. I'm fine." She finished by jumping off of his back, landing straight on her feet.

Edward opened the passenger for her and she quickly got in, and then put Teddy in his seat. Edward was on the driver's side a second after her and was starting the car.

"So, before in the meadow, the kiss." Edward seeded nervous as he spoke.

Hermione blushed again, "I was not expecting you to ask to kiss me."

"Do you regret the kiss Bella?"

She shook her head, "No, I don't seem to regret it at all." And she didn't. She couldn't help but feel happy that they had shared a kiss.

"Tomorrow, would you like to come over to my house? Esme has been pestering about seeing you and Teddy again, and Emmett hasn't met him yet. I would like to introduce you as my girlfriend."

Hermione smiled, "I would love to go to your house. And just give me tonight to think about that, okay?"

Edward smiled to Hermione, "I understand,"

When they pulled up in front of Charlie's house Hermione turned and gave Edward a kiss on his cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow, and I'll give you an answer."

"Okay, I'll be here to pick the two of you up at eleven."

Hermione nodded and she got a waking Teddy out of the car, when she was at the front door she waved to Edward as he pulled away. And when he was gone she exhaled loudly and then saw that Charlie was home.

She quickly walked into the house, "Charlie?"

"In the front room Hermione," He replied back.

Hermione dropped Teddy's bag by the stairs and walked into the front room and sat Teddy down on the floor and then she threw herself on the empty couch.

Charlie sat up and muted his TV. "Is everything okay?"

"Edward has asked me to be his girlfriend."

"And you don't want to be?"

She sat up, "It's not that I don't want to be, it's that I'm confused about my feelings. He kissed me and it felt like the most perfect thing I have ever experienced. Is that wrong? That I've known him not even two months and I already like him so much? Oh Charlie I'm sorry, I'm acting like a teenage girl with her first crush."

He chuckled, "Well I didn't get to go through this with Bella so I'm fine with helping you out Hermione. You are becoming like a second daughter to me, and when the Bellatrix problem is done with, I would like to continue to see you and teddy. But the first time Renee and I kissed, it was like fireworks. We were two immature sixteen year olds, but our first kiss was like magic. I think we would have made it if we hadn't been so different."

"So what should I do Charlie? I feel like a horrible person because I am hiding my true self from them, but I'm not allowed to tell right now. The less people who know the better, so how do I start a relationship with him mostly based on a lie?"

"You could consider it a test run."

"A test run?"

"Yes, if you like him, then say yes. You'll get to know him and his family better and in the end, when you tell them about yourself, you'll know them better than you do now and you could ease them into it a little a bit better. And they might accept it a bit easier once its explained why you didn't confess right away."

"That is possible." She thought on it for a moment and then decided that it could work. They would have to know eventually anyways. So when she is given the okay by Kingsley to tell them she could explain why and she would know them all better by then. "Thank you Charlie." Hermione said as she laid down on the couch. She knew what she was going to say now.
