"You're not bringing Crooks?" Bella asked as Hermione enters the truck with her bag.

"No, I'll just leave him here. I feel bad enough for tagging along; the Cullen's doesn't need to worry about a cat coming too." She said. She noticed Bella relaxing and subtlety released a sigh of relief. Hm, wonder if the Cullen's doesn't like cats. Hermione mused. "So, what are they like?"

"What, you mean the Cullen's?" Bella asked as she started the engine and pulled out of the house. "They're really nice people if that's what you mean; you don't have to worry about anything. You'll get along with them just fine." Bella assured as they turned to a secluded driveway by the trees. Hermione would have missed it if she wasn't paying too much attention to the road. Bella then turned to another corner, and was met with a magnificent modern house up the hill.

"Wow" Hermione muttered as the house came to a clearer view. The house was beautiful. It was a modern two story building with vast open windows and platforms. Whoever architected it really out done him/her self. Bella then parked the truck near a silver Volvo and grabbed her bag.

"Come on." Bella said. The two of them then got off the truck and Bella proceeds to walk briskly to the front door.

"Um, Bella I think you might want to slow down before you trip." Hermione said cautiously.

"I'm fine Hermione. I can take care of my—"

"Watch out for that—!"

Too late, Bella tripped on an unsuspected pot and toppled over.

"You were saying Bella dear?" Hermione asked, grinning down at her as she helped the young woman up.

Bella blushed. "Shut up Hermione" she said as she shoved the older woman lightly out of embarrassment.

Hermione just laughed as they bounded up the steps to the door. Bella had barely knocked once on the door before it was yanked opened and a short blur bolted out and hugging Bella excitedly. Hermione just stood there gob smacked before regaining her composure and looking quite amused instead. Bella was currently

"I'm so glad you guys came! And you must be Hermione, come on in, the others are waiting in the living room. Just drop your bags in here, we'll get them later." The pixie like girl said excitedly as she let us in.

"She's Alice. She's always like that so don't mind her." Bella said as Alice led us to the living room, I couldn't help myself to feel a bit nervous. Thou I just met her briefly; there was definitely something off about her that she couldn't quite pinpoint. She let it off for a while to ponder later and entered the living room right behind Bella.

"Hermione, I want you to meet the Cullen's." Bella said as she led her closer. "Guys, this is my cousin, Hermione Granger." she introduced a little bit nervously.

A very pale man with blonde hair and the most curious golden eye she ever saw stepped up first.

"Welcome Miss Granger," he said politely as he extended his hand "I'm the head of this house, Carlisle Cullen."

"Just Hermione, It's a pleasure to meet you." Hermione said a bit uncertainly. When they shook hands, Hermione suppressed a shudder. His hand was ice cold and marble like. That was definitely not normal. Seeming to notice the slight shudder, he let go of her hand and stepped back slightly, though still giving her a kind smile to not offend her.

"I'm Esme," a kind beautiful woman stepped up next as she gave her a quick hug. "It's a pleasure to meet you Hermione."

"The pleasure is mine Mrs. Cullen." Hermione said smiling kindly yet uneasily. She didn't shudder this time, she expected the cold touch.

"Just call me Esme, dear." She smiled soothingly, "And these are my adopted sons and daughters. Well you've met Alice at the door. Beside her is Jasper and Rosalie, the tall one is Emmett, and finally Edward." She introduced.

They were all pale and beautiful, and despite being adopted they all have the same colored eye Hermione noted, witch is weird. But when her eyes fell to Bella's so-called boyfriend, her eyes couldn't help but bulge out in surprise.

"Bloody Hippogriffs" Hermione blurted out without thinking, looking incredulously at the man. The man in return raised a questioning eyebrow at her as the tall man beside him; Emmett couldn't help himself and guffawed at the look on her face.

"A Hippo what?" Bella asked confused.

Bella's sudden question snapped Hermione out of her stupor; quickly realizing her mistake she cursed mentally at her slipup. She blushed out of embarrassment and hurriedly apologized for her rudeness.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to say that. Uh, it's just that um, he reminded me of an old… friend." Hermione said stumbling slightly, carefully avoiding Bella's question.

"No, it's fine. I get that a lot." Edward smiled slightly. They look so alike… Cedric… I wish Harry could meet him. Maybe he can finally move on from that guilt. Hermione thought sadly.

"Alice, why don't you go and show Hermione and Bella to your room? I'm sure they're a bit tired." Esme said kindly.

"Ok, Come one guys! Right up here." Alice chirped. As she led them upstairs she couldn't help but spot an odd piece of art on the wall by the stairs.

"Are those graduation caps?" Hermione asked curiously. When she took a closer look it was indeed graduation caps.

"Yup, bought this piece up north. We thought it represent us growing up, you know?" Alice shrugged.

"Hmm…" Hermione trailed off as they left to Alice's room.

At night, Hermione couldn't help thinking about the Cullen's. It was bugging her all night! There was definitely something off; she has this niggling feeling that they are not what they seem. It was starting to frustrate her to no end, she knows the answer and she was so sure of it. It was at the tip of her tongue. Pale complexion… beauty… ice cold body temperature… where have I heard that description before…. Hermione thought where have I seen it… there was something to do with Slughorn's Christmas party and—

"THAT'S IT!" she gasped in realization as she quickly sat up.

"Huh? Whuzat?" asked Bella who was woken up by her sudden loud voice. "Hemione? whuz wrong?" she asked sleepily.

"I can't believe it took me this long to realize this! But their eyes… no, they could be wearing contact lenses… but if that's the case…"

"Hermione you're scaring me.. What's wrong?" Bella asked in a clear voice. Hermione's muttering had snapped her senses back and realized that there was something terribly wrong with her cousin.

"Do you know?" Hermione suddenly asked her.

"Know what?" Bella asked completely confused.

"Never mind, just stay here and go back to sleep. I'll be right back." Hermione muttered as she grabbed her night robes. She grabbed her wand from her bag, making sure Bella couldn't see and slipping it in her wand holder. She then quickly went out of the room leaving a bewildered Bella. When she entered the empty living room, she took a deep breath and crossed her harms.

"I know that you lot can hear me" she started. "And probably know what I wanted to discuss about here." Hermione said calmly.

She barely finished her sentence when they all seem to appear out of thin air, some sitting calmly on the couch while the other stood behind looking a bit apprehensive.

"What give us away?" Carlisle asked politely.

"A fair few things actually" Hermione sighed tiredly as she sagged down on a couch across from them. "There's the general pale white marble skin, the physical appearance, temperature, unnatural eyes though I don't know the reason why—"

"We feed on animals, not humans." Alice piped in.

"Ah that explains it. And there's the other reason such as the graduation cap and the fact that I compared you to a Vampire I met while I was still at school."

"Who was then name of the vampire?" asked Edward.

"How in the world did you meet a vampire when you were still at school?" Emmett asked dubiously.

"How do we know we can trust you with our secret?" Rosalie asked, glaring slightly at her.

"His name is Sanguini. Met him on a Christmas party my professor held. I'm not sure if you know him. And you guys are not the only one with a secret actually." Hermione muttered as she took out her wand.

"A stick" Rosalie pointed out raising an eyebrow questioningly at her.

"You're a witch" Carlisle breathed.

"Carlisle!" Esme cried in shock at his sudden uncharacteristic rudeness.

"No love, I mean she's a real witch! You know, brooms and cauldrons and what not. I've heard stories of those with magic, but I've never heard nor seen one personaly!" he exclaimed in awe.

"You really are a witch then?" Emmett asked raising an eyebrow.

Hermione nodded in confirmation and conjured a cup out of thin air on the table as a demonstration.

"Awesome" Emmett grinned.

"Of all people Bella could be related to." Jasper chuckled as he shook his head.

"Speaking of Bella, does she know?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Yes." Edward replied solemnly.

Hermione sagged deeper in her seat, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Hermione, can I ask you something? It's been bugging me for a while now" Edward said. "Do wizards or Witches have a way of closing up their minds?"

"Yes, it's called Occlumency. Not all wizard and witches could do it. It took a lot of meditation and years of practice. Why do you ask?"

"You closed up your mind the moment you figured out what we are."

"Well, that's probably because I felt a presence in my mind. I thought it was nothing at first, but then when everything snapped in. I realized someone was there. So I pulled up the shield." Hermione said. "You were the one who did it; you're the mind reader aren't you? Your gift I presume?" Hermione asked Edward.

"Yes, sorry bout that." he said, nodding in confirmation.

"It's fine" Hermione said as she yawned.

Esme looked at the clock, and was shocked to see how late it is.

"It's three in the morning, why don't you go back to sleep dear?" Esme said kindly.

"I think I will, thank you." Hermione mumbled as she stood up.

"Are you planning on telling Bella?" Alice asked curiously.

"Can't you tell, Alice?" Jasper asked anxiously.

"I can't, it's all blurry." She shrugged.

"Can't see?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I have the ability of Precognition." She chirped. "I can see humans since I was one, I can see vampires clearly since I am one. Though I see you blurry because though you are human, you have magic in your blood. I knew that Bella would bring someone with her here when i asked her for a sleepover, but I was having a hard time on who she was bringing with." she shrugged.

"I see," hermione nodded in understanding. "well I am planning on telling Bella, maybe in the morning." she said.

"Well have a nice sleep Hermione." Carlisle said.

And with that, Hermione dragged herself up the stairs to sleep.
