I'm sorry I didn't write for such a long time. I was busy living my life as a student. If any of you read my other fanfic obsessed, I want you guys to know that I will be uploading a new chapter soon. I will love to see some more reviews about this chapter. I am sorry that I was late..

The bell rang and class ended. An hour felt like years. As the bell rang, Edward and I darted out of the classroom. We ran across the corridor and down the stairs to the open ground. "Are you okay?" "It would be a lie if I say I'm fine." Edward had trouble controlling himself. He grabbed my hand tighter, and I realized that we had been holding hands. I moved to the back of the school building. Everywhere he went became the center of attention. We moved to a hidden spot and Edward just fell (more collapsed) on me. He put his arms around my shoulders and leaned on me. "Edward…." As I tried to push him away, Edward hugged me tight. "Just for a bit."

The moments we hugged each other were silent. Then Edward slowly parted himself from me and stood beside me leaning on a wall. It was him who started the conversation. "I nearly lost myself."

"But you didn't." He was still holding my hand.

"Without you," I felt his gaze on me, "I would have lost myself. Thanks Hermione."

"It was nothing." I pulled my hand out from his.

"Oh.. I'm sorry. ..I….I…. didn't realize…." Edward stammered.

"It's okay." I made a small smile to show him I wasn't angry.

"We were lucky that it was our last class."

Edward grinned, "So… what are you going to do afterschool?"

"I'm not sure. I might just go home or go on a drive." Edward kept following me as we reached the parking lot. "Can I go with you?"

His questions was unexpected and I kind of realized that I was flirting with him.

"No. Uhhh…. I'm just telling you this to clear some confusions that might happen. My actions were based on my care of humanity…. Nothing more than that." At this Edward cracked a smile.

"Seriously? Humanity?"

I realized his point. I got embarrassed a bit. "It's weird if I say Vampirity."

"All right. Anyway, it is a shame I can't go with you. I wanted to talk about the…."

"Oh Merlin…"

"…..What?"

I saw a truck going straight for Bella. The strange people-saving-thing still existed in my nerves. I was fast enough to reach her before the truck hit her if I used my abilities as a Vampire. But there were too many people watching. I did a quick wordless and wandless magic to stop the truck. (Living as a vampire gave me plenty of time to study and practice magic. I studied various fields and improved my wandwork. Soon, I was able to do advanced magic.) The truck stopped right in front of her, and nobody got hurt. I had to stop myself from pulling out my wand from my beaded bag (I put invisible charms on them). "Phew…"

"What was that?" Edward stared at me.

"What are you talking about?" He must know nothing because the spell was wandless and wordless.

"You just stopped that truck." Edward's golden eyes told me that he was suspicious.

How did he figure that out?! "I didn't utter a word and just stayed here. Anyway, what were you trying to tell me?"

Edward still seemed to be confused but responded back. "I wanted to talk about the name you asked me before. Cedric Diggory. But I guess I should just walk back home since you don't want any companies." Edward showed me a crooked smile. His perfectly balanced features turned into a smile that could make any girl die from a heart attack. "Wait wait wait Edward. I believe… I never said that I don't want any company. Actually, I think I really need one right now."

"SO…..?" He was so sure of his victory.

"And…. I think it will be great if we go for a drive and talk about many things. Including that name."

"Really? For sure?" Edward showed me a boyish grin.

"Absolutely. For sure." I got inside my car and Edward sat on the passenger seat. I pushed a button and changed the car into an open car.

I drove fast along the coastlines and the wind blew in a way that made me feel free. The scenery and the freedom I felt made me smile widely. I began to hum the song of the sorting hat without noticing.

"I think I've heard of the song before, but I can't remember when and where I heard it."

"You think you have heard of this song before? That is impossible." I chuckled a bit but something hit me hard. Could Edward and Cedric be the same person?

"Ummmm…. Can you try to remember the song?"

Suddenly, Edward wrapped his hands around his head as if he was in pain. I stopped the car beside the beach.

"Are you okay?"

"Fine. It's just…"

"Just what?"

"Do you know what Hufflepuff is?" My eyes widened. I was so surprised that I was lost for words.

Hufflepuff was a name that he shouldn't have heard of. Could Edward and Cedric actually be the same person? But it didn't make any sense. He died during the Triwizard Championship. And Edward lived as a vampire for more than 900 years. It felt like the time stopped and my past memories flooded back to me.

Edward just looked at me with his golden eyes. He was in confusion too, but he was careful to ask for more. He got this feeling that he said a word he shouldn't have spoken. Everyone has their past memories and sometimes they cling on to the present. Edward decided to keep silent.

"Edward?"

"Yes?"

"You said you felt the flow of something when the truck stopped."

"I did."

"Was that your first time?" Hermione's voice trembled a bit.

"No. Right after you said that name I felt it. And sometimes I feel it when I'm with my family or when I sense the werewolves. But it's a bit different."

"Werewolves? In Forks?" Edward seemed to be relieved that the topic changed.

"Yes. They can transform into big wolves when they wish to. You can sense them right away. They smell awful to vampires."

They can't be real werewolves. "Can I meet them?"

"I really don't suggest that. The werewolves and the vampires have made a treaty. The werewolves would respect our territory and not attack if we don't survive on human blood. Our relationship was never good."

"But I really want to meet them. Please?" I was full of curiosity.

Edward smiled at my enthusiasm, "All right, I'll have some talk with Carlisle."

"Thanks."

-Edward POV-

When I hugged her tight, it made me feel like a living soul. I thought a 'heart' didn't exist inside me. But at that moment my heart fluttered. My heart started to fall from the sky to the ground. I was unexperienced with girls even if I lived over 900 years. All these years, I thought my inner-self has become a grown up. I didn't know I could get this emotional. Things about her made me impulsive. Everything about her was beautiful. This little girl who was right beside me changed everything.

After Hermione asked me about the name, Cedric Diggory, I started to think about possible relationships between him and Hermione. Could he be her ex-boyfriend? A lover that she couldn't let go? But the thoughts disappeared quickly. I was feeling something that I have never felt before. But it felt like as if I knew it. Somehow, the name felt like a start. There's got to be something more.

Hermione was humming a song as she drove. I didn't know why, but the song was so familiar. It felt like a part of me was missing and this song was trying to fill the vacancy. I was thinking hard whether if I should ask her about the song. My curiosity was about to drive me crazy. After I asked her about the song, Hermione's reactions showed me that she was confused. Then, some weird scenes flooded into me with a sharp pain in my head.

There was a boy who looked very young. He was about 10 or 11. He walked through a castle with many other students. He waited in the crowd for a while until his name was called by an old woman.

"Cedric Diggory." He must be the person Hermione asked me about.

The boy sat on an old stool and put a hat on. The song Hermione hummed was sang as my weird dreams(?) faded and I heard the singer shout out a word. "Hufflepuff!"

I looked carefully at the boy. He looked very happy. He was quite handsome with his well-balanced features. He looked really really familiar. As if I have seen him before. He resembled…resembled… me?! He had the face of a ten year old me!
