And hello again, my loyal readers!
I don't have a lot to say here, so I'll start on with the new chapter…
Chapter 3
Bella's Pov
"I can't believe she thinks she can just torture students, including our daughter! The nerve of that woman!" I exploded while pacing back in front of Edward, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Renesmee, and the rest of our family- minus Carlisle and Esme. We were in the common room of the Gryffindor house, since we came back from dinner. I was still mad at Professor Umbridge, thinking she can just torture my daughter! Ugh!
"Love, I think you to calm down again." Edward tried soothing me, but I still paced back and forth, the others continuing to watch me. Neville, Luna, George, Fred and Ginny came in later, and noticed me pacing.
"What's got her riled up?" George asked the others, still watching me out of the corner of his eye. "She's just extremely ticked at Professor Umbridge for torturing Nessie, over here." Emmett explained, gesturing over to Renesmee, who was by Edward. George and Fred nodded in agreement while the other three still watched me.
"I just think something is up with this Umbridge lady." I said, stopping my pacing. The others agreed.
"Did you know that she's now going to come up with rules for the school? And, they're a bunch of rubbish." Ginny informed us, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, we need to get together somehow and find a way to stop this madness." Ron stated. "But how? This lady could easily get us expelled." Jasper pointed out.
"Listen, let's just deal with this Umbridge lady for now, then if it gets worse, then we'll take action. I still want to rip off her head for what she did, though." I mumbled the last sentence.
Luna, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie left then, leaving the six of us in the common room. I let Renesmee go to her room by herself, while Edward and I went with the others. He kissed me good night before following Harry and Ron down the hall. But, I knew he and I would be meeting each other again soon.
After Hermione, Ron and Harry were fully asleep, Edward and I snuck out of the room and headed down to the common room, practicing our magic. We were only able to get things levitated when something began flickering in the fireplace. Edward and I stood up to investigate, but when we walked over there, it was silent again. Shrugging, we went back to studying.
The next morning, after some of our classes, we went down to the nearest courtyard, during our free period, and spotted our friends and siblings. We rushed over to them and sat down in a circle, talking about things.
"Ginny was right. Right as I was walking to Umbridge's class, I saw the wall was covered in her rubbish rules. I also saw her walking down the halls, separating girls and boys, using spells to tuck in shirts and everything." George complained, making hand motions. "Plus, when I went there, she began torturing the class by making us write rules, medieval way." Luna added. "I told you there was something wrong with her." I told Edward from beside me. Edward nodded in agreement.
"Hey, do any of you guys want to join the Quidditch team?" Harry asked all of a sudden. "What's Qudditch?" Emmett asked from beside Rosalie. Harry, George, Fred and Ron explained it. Edward, Emmett and Jasper looked like they wanted to play, so they agreed. I agreed as well, which shocked George and Fred. But, they didn't ask any questions.
The rest of the day was boring- until we had to go to DADA class.
Edward and I sat at our table- in the "appreciated distance" as Professor Umbridge called it. She came in the class soon, with Alice and Jasper following her… weird.
"Class, we have Miss Alice Cullen and Mister Jasper Cullen joining our class. Please welcome them properly." Umbridge explained, walking to the front of the room while Jasper and Alice made their way over to their table. But, Alice stopped, getting a glazed look.
Damn, why now to have a vision?! She must of told Edward something, because he whipped out his wand, said some words, causing the window to open. Umbridge looked peeved that Edward pulled out his wand, but before she could protest or punish him, our owls- Twilight; Edward's tawny feathered colored owl, and Midnight; my pure black feathered owl- flew threw the window, cooing and squawking as they flew. Midnight and Twilight both had letters in their claws. They flew over our table and dropped the letters on our table, a thump echoing as it made contact. Then, the two owls flew back out the window, still cooing and squawking.
Edward and I pulled the letters closer to us, while Umbridge closed the window with her wand.
After that class was done, we went to Jacob's class- sounds very funny to say- and sat down in our usual spots. Jacob walked in the class room. "Hello, class." He greeted us. We greeted him back. "Okay, now today we're all going outside today, over to Hagrid's hut, since today, he has no classes to teach." Jacob told us to line up, which we did.
We walked out of the campus and towards the forest, with Hagrid's hut just outside it. Hagrid was just outside his hut, feeding a rather large, but still sort of small, turquoise dragon. The students awed over it, while Jacob talked about dragon myths that were in the Muggle world. We stood little ways from the dragon with me and Edward on the outside. Suddenly, I heard a loud thumping heart. I knew Edward could hear it, but he chose to ignore it. I stepped away from him, going to investigate. I walked by the dragon, when Jacob and Edward began calling out to me. The thumping heart was getting closer, and I could hear the thumping of paws on the ground.
"Bella!" Edward called out before, suddenly, a large sandy colored wolf came running out of the woods. "AHH!" I let out a scream and started running backwards. The wolf began circling me, before he lunged at me.
Edward's Pov
(And, no, Bella isn't going to die!)
I watched as the sandy colored wolf attack my wife. "BELLA!" I yelled even louder before rushing over to her side, with Jacob following.
But, when I got there, the wolf was licking Bella's face, sometimes making a sour face. Bella was full on laughing, scratching behind the wolf's ear. "Bella?" I asked her. She smiled at me. "Edward, don't you remember a certain sandy colored wolf?" she asked me, still laughing and scratching behind the wolf's ear. My eyes widened as I looked at the wolf again.
"Seth?" I asked him. How could I not read his mind? The wolf barked a throaty laugh and licked my face. I closed my eyes, while Bella and Jacob laughed. The other students were horrified, since they saw their teacher and fellow classmates were interacting with a wolf.
Seth then ran behind the tree- his pants attached to his leg by a chord- then he transformed back into a human and put on his pants. He came around from the tree and patted my shoulder, Jacob smacked him on the head and he ruffled Bella's hair, since he was taller than her now.
"Dude, you have got to explain about the get-up." Seth teased Jacob about his robes. He then, looked at me and Edward, then at the students. "Yeesh! You guys have to explain where the hell I am!" Seth laughed. "We will Seth, but I think you're frightening the other students." I amended.
We all walked back to the castle, with the students trailing behind us. The bell rang from the school as soon as we entered the castle. Students began pouring out of the classrooms, along with Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper.
"Momma! Daddy!" Bella and I looked up to see Renesmee running towards our group. Bella picked her up as soon as she jumped into her arms. "What is it, Nessie?" Jacob asked for Bella. Renesmee pointed over to where a group of girls were- one of them was Cho Chang. Two other girls were there. The other two girls had the Slytherin crests on their robes.
Bella glared murderously at the three girls, then she handed Rensmee over to Jacob. She stormed over there, with Alice and Rosalie appearing at her sides. They strutted over to the girls, pulling out their wands. Emmett and Jasper were at my sides, along with Ron and Harry. Hermione was watching the girls move towards the other trio, from behind Ron and Harry.
Soon, the hallways were deadly quiet. Everyone watched as Rose, Alice and my Bella stopped in front of Cho and her two friends. They stood in silence, glaring at each other.
Suddenly, Cho and Bella were both inches apart, glaring murderously at each other.
"It seems you have been picking on my daughter, Cho?" Bella sneered her name, her grip on her wand tightening. Cho, who didn't know that Nessie was our daughter, suddenly seemed taken aback. "D-daughter?!" she choked out, staring disbelievingly at Bella. Bella's expression turned smug. "Yes, she is my daughter, while Edward and I are the parents. Now does that teach you to not mess with me?" Bella asked her smugly, raising her wand a fraction. Her friends raised their wands all the way, but Rosalie and Alice shouted, "Wingardium Leviosa!" and her goons were floating in the air. They turned, bringing the wands and goons with them, in the opposite direction.
"Not so great now are you, Cho?" She asked her tauntingly. She gulped and Bella stepped back. Bella raised my wand and shouted. "Expelliarmus!" Her wand flew out of her hand and dropped near her feet, then she shouted, "Tarantallegra!" Cho began dancing uncontrollably, while the students around us laughed, including Hermione, Ron and Harry. And I thought they liked her as a friend.
After a few minutes of torture, Bella let her stopped dancing by saying the counter spell and she stopped. Bella turned away and began walking away, butCho raised her wand. I ran forward, blocking Bella from her back.
"Avada Kadavra!" was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
Hermione's Pov
It happened all so fast. One minute, Bella was walking away, Cho was on the ground picking up her wand, then the next second, Edward was in front of Bella's retreating figure, taking the 'Killing Curse' that Cho shouted. The spell hit Edward square in the chest, then he fell backwards, where Bella was already turned. She watched in horror as her husband fell backwards.
"EDWARD!" her shriek echoed off the walls, causing many gasps from the students. She sank to her knees, then picked Edward's head up and rested it on her lap. Her siblings and daughter were around her, trying to comfort her. But, one wail was only louder over the noise.
"DADDY, NOOO! WHY?!" I heard Renesmee shriek and wail, snuggling her head in Professor Black's chest. Many doors were opened as teachers began pouring out. Among the crowd of teachers was Professor Cullen. She looked at the small circle and rushed over, pushing her 'children' aside. She saw how Edward was and I heard her take a sharp inhale of breath.
"Bella, what happened?!" she asked Bella frantically. Bella lifted her head from Edward's hair and she glared menacingly at Cho.
"IT WAS HER, ESME! CHO KILLED EDWARD!!" Bella shrieked, burying her face in Edward's hair again, and I heard her making sobbing noises. Professor Dumbledore made his way through the crowds, asking teachers what was going on. Professor Cullen simply said, "Cho killed Edward."
Then, what shocked us all was the sound of Edward's voice.
"Bella…" I heard him whisper. Bella gasped and pulled her head away from his hair again. She gasped even more and screamed, "Edward!" She threw herself at him, making even more sobbing noises. Renesmee gasped quietly and pulled her face from Professor Black's chest. "DADDY!" she shrieked, then began struggling in his arms. Edward pulled her from his arms, then cradle Bella and Renesmee closer to him, kissing both of their foreheads.
His other siblings helped him up, where he was woozy.
"This is completely and utterly, unacceptable, Miss Chang. Two hundred points from Hufflpuff and Miss Chang, I will see you in my office before you go to dinner. And please bring you wand." Professor Dumbledore scolded Cho, then he turned on his heel and walked away. Cho looked down at the ground and then ran off, tears streaming her face. The halls were cleared, murmurs coming from students. The Cullen siblings helped Edward walk with Ron, Harry and I to the Gryffindor house.
They helped him sit down on the couch, then sat down on other couches. Bella and Renesmee were still under his arms, sobbing. "Bella, Nessie. I'm fine. I'm fine." Edward reassured the two. He whispered something in her ear, but she only nodded. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his siblings give a quick and jerky nod.
George, Fred, Neville, Ginny and Luna came by later, asking Edward if he was okay, which he reassured everyone he was okay. Nessie seemed reluctant from his answer, but Bella never left his side.
Soon, we all went to dinner. Bella, Edward and Nessie disappeared while Ron, Harry and I went to dinner.
No one saw Cho after Dumbledore came into the room, and not a lot of people in the Great Hall said anything. Come to think of it, I never saw the Cullen siblings, or Professor Cullen, Dr. Cullen or Professor Black during dinner at all. Many students were murmuring.
Suddenly, we heard a howl, then a loud, "Stop her!" come outside the Great Hall's doors. All conversation stopped as Professor Dumbledore made his way down the aisle towards the door, the other professors following him. Professor McGonagall told Ron, Harry and I to follow the teachers. We got up from our seats quickly and we followed behind the professors. Then, we all stopped at the door and Dumbledore told Harry to open it.
He did as he was told. He pushed open the doors.
There, outside the Great Hall's doors was the entire Cullen family, crouched and snarling, with two wolves by them- one large russet one and the same one we saw this afternoon. And, facing opposite of them was Professor Umbridge, guarding a small girl who had brown, cropped hair with the same pale skin as the Cullens. She was wearing an ashy black robe looking menacingly at the Cullens. But, it was her sinister and frighteningly red eyes that scared me stiffless.
Ron, Harry and I gaped at the group, while Professor Dumbldore and the other professors just stared at Umbridge. Umbridge said some words to the girl behind her, then she said words silently to herself, before she disappeared in smoke.
The girl glared at the spot, then she looked up at us at the doors. "Leave them out of this, Jane!" Edward shouted at her, not relaxing from his crouch. The girl called Jane glared back at Edward, then she turned quickly on her heels and ran at a lightning speed out of the castle.
The Cullens and wolves relaxed out of their positions, but then disappeared a second later. Professor Dumbledore told us and the other professors to tell the other students to get back to their chambers. We walked out of the Great Hall, with the other students following us. Harry watched as Professor Dumbledore turned in the direction of his office.
There was something Professor Dumbledore was hiding from the school about the Cullens…
And I intend to find out who they are, one way or another.
Oh, it seems Hermione is staring to figure out that the Cullens are not what they may seem!!
I'm sorry if that the 'almost' discovery of the Cullens being vampires was too soon to any of you readers.
I had to get yet another chapter up, to make up for the chapters that are not being published from my other stories! I'm sorry to say this but, I need a full month to think over if I should just get rid of all my stories at once, or delete just one of them, or continue on with them.
Though, my mind is leaning more on the 'Continue all the other stories while doing the Cross-over story' idea.
I know I would lose all of my readers if I get rid of all of my stories, so it's very likely I will not get rid of them.
I'm just putting off chapters on those stories for now, it's just I want to get this story up and fully running like my others.
So, I thought I just give you readers a heads up on those stories, which will be on pause for now.
And, I thought I'd make that up to you readers by posting two chapters in one day.
So, please review and don't kill me!
OH! I also now have a new poll relating to this story! I need you readers to please go on my profile and help me with the situation. Just pick one of the events you want me to put in possible/future chapters. The more voters I get, the more help I get for future/possible ideas on chapters.
Already, I have had one author help me. (Thanks, scourgeluver! You know who you are!)
See ya in the next chapter!
