Disclaimer: Sadly, I am still living in a crappy apartment and do not own these characters. But I get to make Bella a witch in order to torment Emmett.

A/N: Just a little clarification, this story takes place at the end of Twilight and the summer break before OotP. Some of the events in OotP and New Moon will take place, but it's my story to mess with and I intend to do some messing!

As always, a big thanks to my wonderful readers. You guys rock my socks off.

Chapter 3: Wizards, Vampires and a Werewolf, oh my...

Bella grabbed Harry's hand and led him over to the Cullens.

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Harry. My twin brother."

"YOUR WHAT?" Exclaimed seven vampires in their musically beautiful voices.

"Her twin brother. Jeez Bella, I thought they had super hearing." Joked Harry.

"Brother?" Edward asked, his eyes burning into Bella. "I'm so sorry Bella. Please forgive me. My behavior last night was terrible."

Bella just gave an I-told-you-so shrug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Isabella Marie Swan, start explaining now! How do you have a twin brother that I didn't know about and why can't I see anything?"

"Swan?" Questioned Hermione as she entered the room with Ginny, Ron, Fred and George in tow.

"My muggle name. Alice, can we get through the introductions before the interrogation?"

"Muggle?"

"It's what we call non-magic folk," explained Harry and then in a whisper, "So which one is Edward?"

Bella and the vampires giggled and Edward stepped forward, offering his hand. "I'm Edward. And this is my family. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper. It's nice to meet you."

Harry shook his hand and slung his arm around Edward's shoulder, leading him out of the foyer and into the living room "Now, my obligatory older brother speech..."

"You are six minutes older. That hardly counts," defended Bella.

Harry waved her off. "Anyhow, as her older brother I have to tell you that while I'm sure you could kick my ass six ways from Sunday, if you hurt her you will beg for fire. I don't care if the curses are Unforgivable."

Bella rolled her eyes and pulled her wand from her back pocket.

"You know Moody says that keeping your wand in your back pocket is dangerous... Unless of course you are trying to blow your buttocks off," said Harry as he took three tentative steps back.

Are you done threatening my boyfriend, brother dear?" Mocked Bella

"Now that's not fair, Bella. I can't use magic here. You know that they are gunning to kick me out of Hogwarts."

Bella raised her wand, an evil smirk slid across her face.

"Bella, it is my job as your older brother and I was only joking. Edward knows I was joking, don'tcha Eddie?"

"Do not call him Eddie." Bella laughed and with a flick of her wand said, "Furnunculus!"

Harry's face broke out into bright red boils.

"You. Are. So. Dead!" Harry exclaimed as Bella broke into sprint. Suddenly she hit a wall. Or rather, she ran into Rosalie.

"Help me Rose." Bella begged.

"Is that what you were going to do to me, Bella?"

Bella's face lost all color as she remembered her earlier threat.

"Rosalie," sang Harry sweetly. "Could you hold my baby sister still for just a moment?"

"No problem. You brought this on yourself, Bella," said Rose as she easily pinned Bella to the floor.

"Don't Harry. I'm begging you." She pleaded.

Harry rushed forward, launching himself onto her. He began furiously tickling her. Her laughter became deep and infectious until-

"Oh my god, Bella, did you just snort? Rosalie asked as she released Bella, succumbing to her own fit of giggles.

"Edward," Bella whined. "Why didn't you stop them?"

"Sorry, my love." He appeared at her side, quickly scooping her up into his arms. "You were just too cute.

Harry mock-punched his arm. "Curses. Lots of them. Unforgivable and all," he said with a wink.

"So..." laughed Emmett. "What exactly is an unforgivable curse?"

"There are three actually. Avada Kedarva, or the killing curse. Imperius, which is basically mind control and the Cruciatus Curse, which causes excruciating pain." Rattled off Hermione. "Bella, you do realize how long it's going to take to make the boil-cure potion. I don't even have any flobberworm mucous!"

"It's not a problem Hermione. I have the potion in my trunk." Bella raised her wand and called, "Accio" as the potion flew into her outstreched hand. She uncorked the small bottle and gave it to Harry who drank it quickly.

"I wonder what would happen if you used Avada Kedarva on a vampire?" Ron mused. "They are dead already, after all."

"There are things worse than death, Ronald." Ginny said. She looked intently between Bella and Edward, mouthing "Wow" to Bella.

"Quit your drooling, Ginny." Remarked Fred, although the sheepish glances he was stealing at Rosalie did not go unnoticed.

Bella snickered at the faces of her friends. She was sure, that like her, they had never seen such a beautiful family.

"Guys,this is Hermione, Ginny, Ronald, Fred and George." Bella said, pointing out each one. "Is everyone else still in the meeting?"

"Ya. Oi, I wonder if vampire hearing can get past the shields. We've been dying to know what's going on. It's been ages since Dumbledore's has called a meeting. What do you think? Wanna give it a try mate?" Fred asked Emmett. Bella wondered if the had some sort of immediate connection, one prankster to another.

"I can't hear anything other than us," he replied. "There are others here?"

"The rest of the Order is in the kitchen. That must be one of mum's best shields. The extendable ears had no shot at all," George said feigning sadness.

"Oh!" Bella exclaimed. "I have to warn you that Remus is a werewolf. Not like the Quilettes, a real, magical werewolf. The kind with full moons and all that stuff. That's why you're visions don't work, Alice. And I know you guys are mortal enemies, or whatever, but he is my family and I ask that you be on your best behavior. Is that understood?"

Rosalie asked, "How do you know about the Quilettes?" at the same time as Ginny asked, "What are Quilettes?"

"The Quilettes are a native American tribe that live near us in the states. They're shape shifters. It's tribal magic though. They can't use any other form of magic." She replied to Ginny. "And they are distant relatives of mine and Harry's godfather, Sirius Black."

"Is somebody talking about me in there? I thought I heard my name." Sirius stepped out of the kitchen and leaned in the doorway as the other members of the Order filed out.

"SNUFFLES!!!!" Cried Bella as she launched herself into his arms. "How are you? I've missed you."

"Snuffles?" The vampires questioned causing the group to laugh at their little inside joke.

"We had to have a nickname for him for when we are out in public."

"Why?"

"He's wanted for murder." Harry answered nonchalantly.

Edward was about to ask more, obviously concerned with Bella's proximity to a wanted murderer but was interrupted when a woman with bubble-gum pink hair bounded from the kitchen toward Bella. Edward smiled at the woman. Her heart shaped face reminded him of Esme but her enthusiasm seemed to rival Alice's.

"Is that my Bella I hear?" Tonks wondered. She rushed into Bella's arms, pulling her from Sirius' grasp. "And these must be your friends. My name is Tonks. Pleased to meet you all. Thank god your home Bellybean. Life has been ever-so-boring without you." Tonks said in the most effected tone you could imagine.

Fred and George looked stunned. Life was never boring when the Weasley twins were involved. But Bella knew Tonks. She had been one of her teachers for years. She searched the faces of the other adults. They were hiding something.

"Just a moment Tonks. I want to know which one of these men are foolish enough to date our little Bella." Bella groaned loudly, she could see that Sirius had put on his best mass-murderer scowl for this conversation. Tonks and Kingsley laughed while Mr. and Mrs. Weasley nodded in sync with Sirius. Mad-Eye, Bella noticed stuck to the shadows, his magical eye seeing all.

"Where are Snape and Dumbledore? I heard they were here for the meeting too." Bella asked hoping to shift the subject.

"Professor Snape," spat Sirius obviously mocking Dumbledore's reprimand, "had business to attend too."

"And Dumbledore will return shortly. He needs to check on something. He said for the festivities to begin without him and he would join us later."

"Remus!" Bella whirled from Tonks and pulled him into a hug, giving him a quick kiss on his cheek before whispering so low that only the vampires could hear, "I know you all are hiding something from me."

Remus laughed and tussled her hair. "Always the perceptive one."

"We'll have a conversation about that when Dumbledore returns." Sirius said. Bella recognized his tone. He didn't approve of whatever it was Dumbledore wanted to tell her.

She knew they wouldn't give in, but thought perhaps Edward may be able to pick it from their minds.

After a quick hug with the Weasley's and a wave to Moody, Bella set out to introduce everyone. She didn't fail to notice Sirius too-firm-for-a-normal-human grasp on Edward's hand or Mr. Weasley anticipation on hearing how such a large coven integrated themselves into muggle society.

"Now that all the pleasantries are out of the way," quipped Bella, "perhaps we should discuss the reason for the visit."

"Is something wrong Bells?" Tonks asked.

Bella just glared, a silent conversation noticeably taking place between the two. It was obvious how close they were.

"What's going on? I can't read the adult's minds." Edward leaned in and whispered to Bella, taking her hand and lacing their fingers together.

"Damn! Occlumency. They know about your ability and are blocking you on purpose. I was hoping you could tell me what they were thinking about." Bella muttered under her breath. "Jazz what are they feeling?"

"I sense apprehension and protectiveness. They're worried about something... You..."

"Hey Hells Bells, care to share what's going on with the class. I see the three of you talking." Tonks shouted rather loudly.

"I'm just wondering what you guys are hiding from me." Bella crossed her arms and leaned into Edward.

Tonks huffed and went to sit next to Bella. "What's the color today, Bells? Black?" She scrunched her nose and instantly her hair went black and her make-up darkened. She crossed her arms to mimic Bella and chuckled at the looks from the crowd.

"What?" She asked innocently. "If Bella wants to be all emo, I figured I'd join her." Bella was thankful that Tonks seemed to be on her side.

"Emo Tonks? You've obviously spent too much time in the muggle world lately," said Bella with a laugh.

"Tell me about it. Between assignments for the Order and the Ministry lately, I'm rarely home."

"Ministry?" Carlisle asked.

"They govern the magical community here in Britain." Mr. Weasley said. He continued on to explain the inner workings of the Ministry but Bella wasn't listening. She stood from her place and walked to the fireplace, taking a picture of the mantle.

"Harry," Bella thought. He was at her side, lifting her chin to examine her face.

"What's wrong sis?" Harry thought as he wiped the tears that threatened to escape Bella's eyes.

"Where did this come from?" She asked, holding up the photograph. In it their parents playfully held the twins. An infant, Harry and Bella reaching toward one another.

"We found it during one of Mrs. Weasley's cleaning days. Sirius said it was taken about a month before..."

"Harry? Do you ever wonder what it would be like if they lived? If you and I were allowed to grow up together?"

"Of course I do. I miss them too. And you. I always feel like half of me is missing when you're gone."

"I know what you mean."

"Soon, sis. I just know it."

Bella smiled up at her brother.

"What are they doing?" Bella heard Alice ask.

"Talking." Replied Ginny, as if that was the most obvious answer in the world. Bella supposed to her it was. Not only had she known Bella and Harry for years, she had twin brothers of her own.

"But their lips aren't moving. How are they talking?"

"Twin-speak." Fred and George said together. "Except with them they can talk to each other in their heads. Something to do with the curse that connected them."

"They can read each others minds?" Edward asked, a hint of jealousy in his voice. That brought Bella and Harry out of their silent exchange.

"It's not exactly mind reading. It's just something we can do." Bella shrugged and crossed the room. She handed Edward the photo from the mantle. The vampires all leaned in to see, staring wide-eyed at the moving people in the picture.

"These are our parents," said Bella sadly. She noticed the mood shift in the room. Even though they all knew the Potter's story almost as good as their own, they still grew somber whenever they were mentioned.

"What happened to them, Bella?" Jasper asked. By his pained expression, she knew he was feeling everything everyone else was feeling.

"Many years ago, a dark wizard started to gain power. He calls himself Lord Voldemort." It was Harry that spoke and Edward noticed that the other witches and wizards seemed to flinch at the name. "He killed a lot of witches and wizards. Muggles, too. Our world was in chaos. Anyone who wanted power joined him and anyone who refused him... died."

"Your parents." Alice said sadly. It wasn't a question. Bella nodded.

"What happened to him?" Emmett asked with rapt attention.

"We did." Bella and Harry said together.

The vampires sat perfectly still, as Harry brushed the hair from his forehead to reveal the lightning shaped scar.

"Bella!" Rose gasped in recognition. "That's just like the one on your hand."

Bella smiled at her. She didn't know that Rose had noticed it. "After he killed our parents, he tried to kill us too. When he aimed the curse at Harry, my hand must have shot out to protect him. We're not really sure-"

"Being only a year old leaves the details a little fuzzy." Finished Harry.

"Then how come you're both still alive?"

"Something Volde-" Bella started, stopping abruptly as everyone flinched again. "Oh for god's sake! It's just a name."

The confusion evident on the Cullens faces, Bella clarified, "You have to understand how dark of a time it was for everyone. Fourteen years later and people are still scared. Nobody uses his name. Except us and Dumbledore. They all use things like He Who Must Not Be Named, You Know Who or the Dark Lord. It absolute nonsense."

"Anyhow, Voldemort," Harry said the name with a slight smirk. "He wasn't expecting something that night. Something that turned the tables, so to speak."

"What?"

"Love. Our mother died to save us. Her death offered us a protection of sorts. When he tried to curse us, the spell backfired onto him."

"What happened then? Did he die? How did you end up with Charlie and Rene?" Alice bounced in her seat, her questions coming almost too fast for human ears.

"Something happened in the chaos that followed. Harry and I were separated."

"When I went to the house all I saw was Harry. I truly believed you were dead, Bells." Sirius hung his head in shame.

"Aww, Sirius. I'm not even sure how Dumbledore knew to find me. He always says he just did. Anyway, Harry was taken to our mum's sisters house where he grew up not knowing about anything that happened or his magical heritage. He was quite happy."

Harry scowled and mumbled, "Worse muggles on the entire stinking planet."

"And Dumbledore hid me in America. We didn't even know about each other until-"

"My first year at Hogwarts. It was my third day there and I was summoned to Dumbledore's office. He asked me to take a walk with him. He told me stories of my parents and he told me about Bella. He asked if I wanted to meet her."

"And of course he did." Bella smiled. "Since everyone believed I was dead, I could use magic anytime. I spent my breaks from school training with different wizard's, sneaking off as often as I could to see Harry and eventually the rest of our little crew."

The young witches and wizards smiled brightly.

"So he's dead then? That whatever his name, Dark Lord?" Emmett pried.

"Not anymore." Harry said bitterly. He went on to explain everything that had happened the year before. Bella stopped listening. While she enjoyed the freedom that came with not having any magical restrictions on her, she knew she missed out on a lot more. Her friends had stories of Hogwarts and quidditch, of Diagon Alley and danger and adventures she'd never know. All she had was this, the people in this room. She smiled to herself. It was more than enough.

"So let me get this straight," chuckled Emmett. "You were facing some evil wizard while Bella was taunting a psycho vampire. You guys really are related."

Everyone laughed.

"I still don't understand why anyone would need to kill two infants?" Esme inquired, a horrified expression on her face.

"Well, Harry and I are sort of-" Bella began but was stopped short with a look from Harry. "We aren't supposed to talk about it."

Dumbledore had told them last year of their power, what it all meant. He'd asked them not to say anything to anyone. Not even the Order knew.

"What do you mean, Bella? Harry? What are you two keeping from me? I am your god father. I have a right to know."

Harry and Bella just stared at the ground until the front door swung open and Dumbledore stepped into the room.

"It's okay, you two. No more secrets. We can tell them." Dumbledore said softly. "But first, I need to talk to you Isabella."

"Dumbledore," growled Sirius.

"Sirius, she needs to know. Severus just confirmed it."

"Confirmed what? What happened?" The edge of panic rising in Bella's voice.

"We've been betrayed. Voldemort knows you're alive."

Bella grabbed Harry's hand and the room exploded in a bright white light.

A/N: Reading this chapter, I kinda feel like I rushed things, but I don't know. What do you think?
