A/N I'm so sorry for the long pause in between updates! As a treat, heres a longer chapter with a few answers, and twice as many questions.

Chapter Seven-

Hermione's POV

My back slammed into the floor with a slam. The earth shattering impact woke me from my daze, and my eyes slowly focused on The boy's face. He was hovering over me, coiled like a panther and snarling at the doorway. I gasped, trying to sit up, but his position over me prevented any movement. I twisted, trying to spot what he was growling at. His eyes were a frightening coal black.

In the doorway stood two, hooded figures. As they came inside, they threw back their hoods, grinning.

I froze under the mysterious boy, frightened merely by their smiles.

The first was huge, with the build of a serious weightlifter. I gazed into his frightening red eyes and momentarily forgot who was hovering over me. He smirked and I gasped, I quickly re-focused my attention on the smaller one. Dainty, she seemed to skip across the floor with lightness in her foot, but none in her heart. Her eyes where the same dramatic burgundy, and I shuddered underneath my protector.

"Jane, Felix." The boy greeted both coolly, by now back on his feet. His stance in front of me struck me as odd. It was protective, a stance always on the border of a crouch. The Male, Felix, took great notice of this, and tensed slightly. However, Jane stood either oblivious or without care. She was small, tiny as a doll next to her large companion.

"We merely came to renew our offer and ask you a few questions." Jane murmured smoothly, and this boy's face twisted into an unfamiliar scowl.

"I must decline your first request… And as for the latter…" He gazed at Jane questioningly. "What kind of questions." He seemed truly confused and more than a little wary. Jane's face remained smooth and unaffected, but her companion roared in fury. Felix was on the verge of lunged at my protector, and the blonde boy immediately lowered himself to a crouch.

"Don't play dumb with us!" Felix yelled, jabbing an accusing finger in the boy's direction. His eyebrows furrowed, and a snarl ripped from his throat due to the offensive gesture. Felix continued, ignoring the snarl.

"Where have the Cullen's run off too?!?" Felix snarled, the growl a low-pitched, gravely sound. I shrunk backwards instinctively, but I knew, somehow, that This completely gorgeous and hallucinatory angel was strong enough on his own.

However, instead of the familiar defensive crouch, the boy had straitened, and a look of complete and total confusion had graced his features.

"My family… is gone?" He gasped, nearly staggering into me.

"You really…know nothing?" Felix asked, completely taken of guard. At that moment, Jane stepped into the conversation.

"If he will not talk, I will torture him into it!" He snarled, and locked her frightening burgundy eyes on the boy. I felt a shudder rippled down his spine, and then the world was shredded apart.

My protector had fallen to his knees, clutching his head and crying out in pain. It was a frustrated sound, halfway between pain and hindrance. At this point, it was time to act. I drew my wand, and pointed it at the two figures, shrieking.

"Wingardium leviosa!" The two hooded figures rose off of the ground, and Jane's concentration broke.

"Foolish girl! What is this trickery?!" Jane screamed, very annoyed at this contravention of her focus. The headmaster came sprinting into the room, flanked by teachers. Professor Dumbledore stood before us, a shield as the two dangerous characters fell to the ground. Dumbledore chuckled as Jane fixed her eyes on him, willing the horrible power of hers to come to work on Dumbledore.

"That won't work on me, friends of the Volturi." Dumbledore told them, and Jane gasped in annoyance.

"We won't forget this embarrassment!" Jane shrieked in rage, and she and Felix streaked towards the door. They moved fast, arrows from a bow, and were out the door with a split second.

Dumbledore turned to the fallen blonde boy, who was panting to regain his breath. "Jasper, help Hermione back to the Gryffindor common room" He commanded the boy, whom I now knew to be named Jasper. Jasper turned to me, uncertainty in his eyes.

Jasper's Point of View

If I scared this human off, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. She had willingly come forwards to comfort me, and had nearly been slaughtered before my eyes. The sudden protectiveness that came over me when I looked at her frightened me immensely. I could not find myself attached to this human, romantically or otherwise. I was in a hopeless situation, and in desperate need in help.

Further more, I have angered the Volturi and they will come to take revenge on me. To top that off- my family has disappeared unexpectedly. I needed to contact them.

I gazed towards this curious human with a new light to my eyes. She was still covered in the scent of my la tua contante. I had heard others referring to her in conversations they had not intended me to hear.

Luna Lovegood.
