Chapter 4
Jasper's Pov
"I can't believe we almost exposed ourselves!" Emmett yelled exasperatedly, throwing his hands up in the air. We, Cullens, were waiting in Dumbledore's office, with the wolves standing in the back of the room. Edward and Bella said the received letters today, before Jane showed up. Esme and Carlisle were waiting by Dumbledore's desk, while the rest of us were waiting in chairs and couches.
Seth said he also had news, about Forks or Washington or something. But, we all argued on who should say what first. At least, us 'children' and the two wolves did, while Esme and Carlisle watched us. But, when Carlisle couldn't stand it anymore, he let Seth go first, because he knew we all wanted to know about what happened in Forks first.
Dumbledore came in a little later, saying something like, "Who was that girl? What is going on with the professors? What will the other students think?" He was rambling on and on about internal questions with himself.
"So, I see we have a dilemma on our hands now. A new enemy, some news from Forks, Washington and two mysterious letters. Would you like to explain, friends?" Professor Dumbledore addressed us.
We all nodded as Seth stepped forward. He took one of the chairs and sat down in it, resting his head in his hands.
"Well, after you guys left, things started getting really weird around Forks. I mean, a bunch of disappearances, occasional deaths- on purpose or accident- and everything. Everything in Forks went haywire. Nothing seemed right- animals went nuts, people didn't get along well, and basically, you could see the occasional hobo on the streets, but imagine that times 100 people. Many people were losing their homes and all, just living on the streets.
"But, the worst part of it is that a nuclear plant near Seattle leaked a dangerous toxin or whatever. So, soon, people started getting diseases, getting their faces all messed up, and soon, people started dying. -" Bella cut him off.
"Oh no, what happened to Charlie?!" she asked him frantically, hoping she was okay. I gave her a dose of calm, but that only made her more nervous. "I'm sorry, Bella, but, we don't know what happened to him. One day, he was talking to us, and the next, he went missing from Forks. His trail led other police all the way outside of Oregon. But, I think he's fine for now." Seth told her. Bella only nodded and gestured for him to go on.
"Anyway, both packs left Washington and headed here. I only made it here first because I was the earliest to leave, with the others following close behind. We made it all the way to Michigan until we heard the News. The nuclear plant outside of Seattle blew up, thanks to some weird bomb attack on it. And, it killed everyone in Washington. So, both packs were trying to come up with a plan. I was also the one who remembered you'd be here Jake." Seth paused to punch Jake on the shoulder.
"So, once I told them you guys were here, we all agreed to come here and start over. But, of course, again, I was to arrive first, in the woods, where I found Edward's, Bella's and Jake's scents. And, that's how I ended up here. By the way, you guys still haven't told me what this place is." Seth pointed out. Edward quickly explained it to him, the whole reason why we were here, and what "here" was. Seth only stared wide-eyed at us.
"Edward and Bella, didn't you two have letters for us to read?" Esme, asked them. Edward and Bella nodded, then pulled out their letters. Carlisle took both of them, but opened Bella's first. He read it out loud,
Dear Cullens,
We were hoping you and your family are fine and well, after the tragic incident in Forks, Washington. My clan and I were just running through Forks one day, hoping to find you there. But, as soon as we got to Forks, all we could see were the ashes of the lost lives of Washington, and no buildings anywhere around us.
We tried going to Bella's home state first, but we couldn't find you there. We tried Alaska, Chicago and any cloudy state, all to no avail.
But, we tried our hand at tracking and soon, we followed your scents over seas, here in Europe. We continue all the way to England- thankfully avoiding Italy. And, soon, we met a young man, who believed he knew you. But, he cannot track you and your family, and alas, your scent has run cold.
So, now our clan is comfortably waiting in England, near Britain and Scotland, awaiting for a reply from you.
Des and Rische (Pronounced as RIH- shay) have been growing impatient while Melantha and Lily are being patient with me.
We hope you and your family can reply very soon, before chaos will erupt from our coven. We wouldn't want to be separated before we can see each other again. Please send us your reply to this letter very soon and we will see in a month's time as soon as you reply.
Sincerely,
Aiden, Lily, Rische, Melantha and Des
P.S.- We last saw Charlie somewhere in Chicago. Please inform Bella about his whereabouts.
"Charlie's in Chicago?!" Bella asked, excitement taking over her. I gave her another quick dose of serenity and she thanked me.
"Well, now you don't have to worry so much about him, love." Edward assured her, kissing her forehead. Bella smiled up at him and leaned into his side. "Okay, now since we don't have to worry about Charlie anymore," Emmett paused when he saw Bella's glare. "Oh, come on, Bella! He's somewhere safe in Chicago. Anyway, with that over, let's read the second letter, please." Emmett begged Carlisle, anticipation was his main emotion now.
Carlisle nodded and opened the second. He began reading again,
Dear Cullens,
We have missed you all so much!
We are very sorry for the loss of your main area, and we know you had some friends there, who had lost their lives from the nuclear explosion.
We heard from a pack of werewolves near our area, saying that your coven and the pack of werewolves in that area- your friends- have fled to a more remote location.
Our family and I miss you all dearly, hoping to see you all very soon.
Somehow, your scent has led us over seas, but nowhere near Italy. And now, we wait here in Paris, France, hoping to find all of you very soon.
Carmen and Kate have missed Renesmee dearly, as well. Eleazar is hoping to catch up on things with the Cullen men, while I, myself, hope to get along with dear Bella more, since I haven't been acquainted with her so much.
Unfortunately, Garret is still with us- Garret wasn't happy I said that- and he follows Kate around like that Mike Newton boy that you Cullen men weren't so fond of.
Oh, sometimes I actually miss all of those humans I met at Bella's and Edward's wedding. I mainly miss Angela Weber. She was a shy girl, but very pretty. It's a shame she had to die so quickly.
Anyway, I hope you are all fine and well. We'll soon find you all in two months, after you send us your reply back.
Your Friends,
The Denali Coven- Tanya, Carmen, Eleazar, Kate and Garret.
"Oh, great. Tanya and her coven are coming soon. I don't mind the others, just Tanya." Rosalie complained, rolling her eyes at the mention of Tanya. The others agreed, mainly Edward and Bella.
"Excuse me, for a moment, but the letters are saying we will have two more covens coming to Hogwarts?" We all nodded at Professor Dumbledore's question. "Don't worry, Albus. Our friends are like us- they don't feed on human blood." Carlisle assured his friend. Professor Dumbledore believed him and we left his office after discussing what we should do tomorrow- since a few students saw how we were earlier.
Harry's Pov
The Next Day… (After all classes)
I looked up to see Hermione, Rosalie, Alice and Renesmee were waiting in the stands of the field, watching as Edward, Bella, Emmett and Jasper walking across the field, along with the other players- both old and new. Edward and Bella were wearing the Gryffindor Quidditch uniforms, while Emmett wore the Hufflepuff uniform and Jasper wore the Ravenclaw uniform. Edward leaned down towards Bella's ear and whispered something to her, causing her to smile, giggle and nod. Edward kissed her cheek and leaned away, while shifting his broom to his other hand, then he wrapped his arm around her waist.
A little bit later, the Slytherins came racing out of the field entrance, zooming over Edward's and Bella's heads, barely missing them. But, Edward and Bella ducked in time, just right before Malfoy almost hit them. They stood back up, glaring at the Slytherins. Edward growled quietly.
Wait, growled?
"What is it, Cullen? Scared for a challenge?" Malfoy taunted Edward, raising his hands in the air, while his idiot baboons laughed. Edward only growled more, but Bella rested her hand on his shoulder, calming him instantly.
The Slytherin team landed soon, staying a good distance away from the other tryouts. "Ha! A girl is trying out for Quidditch?! Oh, this day gets better and better!" Malfoy began laughing again, after seeing Bella in the Quidditch uniform. Bella growled loudly, and began running forward, but Edward stopped her, wrapping his arms around her. He whispered something in her ear again, causing a large smug smile to appear on her face. She looked up at Edward and nodded, smiling brightly at him. Edward smiled back at her and then he turned away- Bella did the same.
Edward looked back at the stands; I followed his gaze. Alice had a blank look on her face, then she began laughing loudly, while Rosalie and Hermione looked at her. Renesmee only looked at Alice, then looked down towards Edward. She smiled then. Alice began whispering to Hermione and Renesmee. Hermione looked suspicious at first, then a big grin spread across her face. She nodded to Alice and she and Renesmee disappeared. Alice leaned over to Rosalie and began talking to her. Rosalie soon started laughing as Hermione and Renesmee began walking across the field, carrying the Gryffindor Quidditch trunk, struggling a little from the weight.
They walked over to the tryout group and set the trunk down. Only Edward, Bella, Hermione and Renesmee were smiling. They ran off back to the stands, and Edward stepped forward. He unlocked the trunk and the two bludgers began struggling, while the snitch struggled frantically against the chains.
"Hey, Malfoy!" Bella called out, looking over to Malfoy's team. Malfoy looked up from his conversation with his team and looked at Bella, glaring. "What do you want, Gryffindor?" Malfoy yelled back at her. "Up for a bet?" Bella asked him, gesturing towards the trunk. Malfoy looked skeptically at Bella, then at the trunk, then back at her. A grin grew on his face and he laughed.
"Sure, what is it?" he asked Bella, beginning to walk over towards the tryout group, with his groupies following. He stopped when he was two feet away from us.
"How about… whoever catches the snitch first can give the most humiliating dare to the loser. And, we can use magic on them for the dare. But, when we are trying to catch the snitch, no magic. Up to it?" Bella challenged him, grabbing her broom and getting on. She positioned herself, ready for the dare to begin.
Malfoy scoffed and got on his broom, mirroring Bella's position on her right. "On my mark…" Emmett called out, raising his arm in the air. Bella and Malfoy tensed.
Three seconds went by and…
"GO!" Emmett yelled. Edward released the snitch, and it disappeared, with Bella and Malfoy following after it. The snitch was a golden blur, popping up everywhere, but Bella was on it's tail, being a blur as well. Malfoy, on the other hand, was much slower, trying to find the snitch, but getting confused every time he thought he was close to it.
Apparently, Edward, Emmett and Jasper were able to follow Bella, even though she was going lightning fast. Even Alice, Rosalie and Renesmee were able to follow her, from sitting in the stands. The rest of us were having difficulties on following her and the snitch.
Suddenly, the snitch and Bella slowed down, appearing up in the air, a far distance from us. Malfoy, who saw Bella and the snitch, began flying towards it. Bella saw him and flew forward as well, going faster than him.
Then, they were equally close to it, but Bella got up slowly and gracefully, balancing herself out as she stretched her arm out towards the snitch, while the broom was still flying around. Malfoy stopped abruptly, staring wide-eyed at Bella. Everyone around us gasped at her, except her family, who were smiling at her.
She was pulling off the same move I did at my first time of a Quidditch match.
She then caught the snitch and sat back down, plopping almost. Her family and the rest of us cheered for her, while the Slytherin team glared at her. She flew back down towards us, after flying past a still-stunned Malfoy and grinning smugly at him.
She got off her broom once she was close to the ground and set her broom down. She held up the snitch, and looked back at Malfoy, who was now standing on the ground.
"I win." She stated, still smiling. She threw the snitch back at Edward- which he caught- and he put it away.
"Well done, Bella. I think you're our new chaser." I congratulated her, smiling. She smiled back at me and walked over to Edward, pecking his cheek.
After the dare, we started the tryouts. Edward became the new beater for Gryffindor, along with his brothers, except Jasper for Ravenclaw and Emmett for Hufflepuff.
Soon, we all left the field and headed back to our dorms, with our teammates.
I know, not the longest chapter.
