Hello my lovelies. Welcome to yet another chapter of my story.

I don't have a lot to say, so I'll begin.

Chapter 7

Ron's Pov

Harry moved the chess piece, taking the risk of getting knocked out by my king. I moved my king and Harry's piece was knocked aside. "I win, again." I stated, smugly. Harry laughed.

Harry and I were in the Gryffindor common room, playing chess, while Hermione was at the library. George and Fred were in the corner, coming up with pranks for Professor Umbridge's class, Ginny was reading a book on the couch. Luna and Neville were in the courtyard, while Edward, Bella and their daughter, Nessie were off somewhere in the castle.

Ever since the Cullens told us they were vampires, at first, I was scared out of my wits. But, over time, I have grown to understand the fact and we treat them like we normally did. Sure, it took some adjusting to it, what with their extreme strength, and their abilities they can use on us, but still, they're our friends.

That was four nights ago. Professor Dumbledore has told our group to not tell the other students. He didn't want them freaking out. I guess we acted normal.

They told us they would have to go hunting in the woods from time to time, in case their eyes get black. If they didn't get to hunt, their eyes would get pitch black and they would crabby, or their desire to drink human blood would be impossible to stop.

Harry and I left the common room, with the others that were in the room following us. We walked down the halls, seeing a few of the Cullens. When we would spot them, they would smile at us- except for Rosalie- and wave. Professor Black, or Jake is what they all called him, seemed to not be angry with the fact the Cullens' secret was told. He was more open, and he told the whole class, after the Cullens told us, that he was a werewolf, or a shape-shifter as he would mutter under his breath. Of course, Rosalie on the other hand, was a different story.

I learned from the werewolf life that they imprint on their other half. Once they would imprint, it was unbreakable. Seth told me this, since he had to deal with it from Jake, Quil, Jared, and Sam. He told me they were other werewolves that would be coming to the school. Great.

But, Seth told me that Jake imprinted on Nessie. I could see why, since Nessie was always mentioning Jake every time at dinner. He told me his story with him and Bella, back when she was human. He also told me more about her, saying she was such a klutz and always cared about other people's feelings before hers. He told me about her father, too, saying that he was a police chief back at their old home, before a nuclear bomb explosion occurred. I will never understand the Muggle world. He also told me Charlie- Bella's father- was never fond of Edward, ever since he left her and then came back. He was fine with him in the beginning, but he grew to dislike him. The rift was sort of torn after Bella and Edward told him they were getting married.

I learned about all of the Cullens. We learned about their pasts, their changes, and how they dealt with the passing years, before they met Bella. Rosalie's story was very sad in the beginning, and I felt bad for the pixy Alice, since she didn't remember much of her human years. Jasper's story was rather weird, seeming as he helped newborn vampires, before he met Alice.

We now entered the courtyard, where Luna and Neville were sitting crossed-legged, side-by-side. We sat in a large circle, and began talking about things. We discussed some new plans for the upcoming Quidditch match. We were going to face Ravenclaw, then in the following week, Hufflepuff.

Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper soon joined us in the courtyard. Alice told us that Edward and Bella should be coming very soon. Jake and Nessie came running down one of the walkways, with Nessie on Jake's back. Jake had a huge smile on his face while Nessie was giggling non-stop.

"What are you running from now, Jake?" Emmett asked him, a huge smiled plastered on his face. "Wait for it…" Jake trailed off, pricking his ears. We waited and then…

"JACOB BLACK! GIVE ME MY DAUGHTER BACK!" we all heard Bella's shriek of rage. Immediately, Bella came running out of an archway, with Edward running behind her. "That's what I'm running from." Was what Jake said, before taking off again. Bella followed after him, yelling threats at the top of her lungs. Edward followed after them, looking sadly at us.

As soon as they disappeared from us, we all busted out laughing.

Today, was supposedly a free day for all of us students, so we could do whatever we can do, as long as we don't disappear too far from campus. We all planned on going down to Hagrid's hut, since we only saw in once ever since the school year started.

We all left campus- the Cullen siblings, George, Fred, Ginny, Luna, Hermione, Ron and I- after we got some snacks for us humans- since the food to the Cullens was like dirt.

We saw Hargid wasn't at his hut, nor was his dog. We were all confused. So, now we were sitting outside of his hut, trying to come up with a solution to his disappearance.

"Maybe he went on vacation and forgot to tell us?" Neville suggested. Harry shook his head. "He would have asked Professor Dumbledore for permission, and if he did get one, he would have told us before he left." Harry countered. Neville nodded and looked down at the ground. "Well," Emmett boomed out, causing most of us to jump. "Rose and I need to hunt, so we'll see you guys later." Emmett and Rosalie ran off towards the woods. Jasper and Alice stood up as well and ran after them, saying they needed to hunt. Only Edward, Bella and Nessie stayed, seeing as Edward's and Bella's eyes were both a dark gold.

"So, what do you think happened to him?" Nessie asked us. We all couldn't come up with anything, so we all shrugged. We sat in silence, not hearing a single thing.

"Did you hear that?" Bella asked suddenly. We all snapped our heads towards Edward and Bella, knowing that with their super hearing, they would be able to detect if anything bad was coming our way.

Edward nodded. "Everyone, in the bushes and trees. A professor is coming. I'm not sure which one, so we must stay quiet." Edward instructed us. We all nodded and headed into the trees and bushes. Well, Edward and Bella went in the trees, leaving Nessie down here with us.

We waited for the unknown professor heading over. Soon, I saw Professor Umbridge walking towards Hagrid's hut. I was confused; what in bloody hell was she doing over here?

She looked around her, then she walked up to the door and knocked. When no one answered, she tried again. Still, nothing answered the door. She then walked around the hut, but after finding nothing, she huffed and walked back to the school.

After Bella and Edward made sure she was gone, they jumped down from the tree and stood by us.

"What do you think she was doing here?" Fred asked them. Bella shrugged, but Edward looked down. "What is it, Edward?" Bella asked him. "I read her thoughts, but somehow, it seemed she was blocking me, like she knew we would be out here. She kept thinking about what she wear tomorrow, and who should she torture next!" Edward yelled, throwing his hands in exasperation. "Who is she going to torture next?" Hermione asked. "She was either thinking about Emmett, or me." Edward said with a sigh.

After that, we walked back to the castle, with Bella cursing and calling Professor Umbridge a evil witch. When it came to the cursing, Edward covered Nessie's ears from hearing it. Nessie complained to him, trying to tell him she wouldn't repeat Bella's "cursing words". But, Edward made no move to remove his hands from her ears.

Before dinner, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper returned, feeling full from their hunt. Edward, Bella, Harry and I discussed new strategies on the Quidditch, which would be happening in two days. Hermione and Ginny rolled their eyes us, and asked how Bella could of done this. Bella only smiled and giggled, before simply saying, "Hey, when I was a human, the other Cullens got to do whatever they wanted to do, while I was the helpless human. I was only there to cheer Edward on. And, I was tired of sitting on the sidelines, so why not do something for a change here?"

After dinner, our whole group met up in the Gryffindor common room, discussing things we were going to do in later weeks. Alice had a vision, saying in one week, it was going to rain. I don't know why the rest of the Cullens hissed. And, when I asked them why, they simply said they would now be able to play baseball. They explained it to me, telling me how it was played and how to win.

Soon, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Luna went back to their houses, leaving the rest of us to leave for bed. Edward and Bella stayed in the common room, reminding us they didn't need sleep. We said goodnight to them, leaving them to cuddle. Bleh, I still think it looked gross. Edward laughed from the living room, after hearing my thought.

Harry and I separated from the girls, and George and Fred. We went to our separate rooms, and soon fell asleep.

Bella's Pov

"Bella, love. Why are you so nervous?" I looked up from my spot on the bench to see Edward looking concerned at me, wearing his Gryffindor Quidditch uniform already and his broom at his side. He sat down by me on the bench in the Gryffindor changing room, outside of the Quidditch field. He pulled me closer and kissed me briefly.

"I'm nervous because what it I mess up Edward? I mean, only our closest friends know about us. What if I accidently use my vampire speed to catch the snitch? If that, what would happen then?" I asked him frantically. Edward only sighed and said, "Bella, love. Since you said that, then use human speed. Remember, Rosalie tweaked our brooms to go just as fast we are on foot. If any of the teachers ask, or if any of the other students that don't know, then tell them you just bought a really fast broom, okay?" Edward asked me. Before I could answer, we shared a very quick but passionate kiss. I told him alright, then we made our way out of the room, towards where the rest of the team.

Our team consisted of me as the catcher, Edward and another boy as the beaters, Harry as the seeker and Ron was the keeper. George and Fred were there, only helping us, mainly protecting me from other people on the opposite team. That way, I wouldn't get beat up by them.

But, they knew I didn't need any help, since I was a vampire. We stood in a line, then headed out the door, which lead to the field, where the screaming students and teachers were waiting. Luckily, it was cloudy and cold, since I could see snow on the edges of the walls.

(Okay, I don't know a lot about Quidditch matches, so I might not get some things right. But, I'll give it my best shot.)

We all were on our brooms as we walked onto the field, so we flew up as the announcer announced the game.

"Welcome Hogwarts School, to another Quidditch match. Today, we have the Gryffindor house versus the Hufflepuff house. We have three new students who have joined the teams- two in Gryffindor and one in Ravenclaw. Bella and Edward Cullen in Gryffindor and Jasper Cullen in Ravenclaw. We all know how the game is played. Remember, no magic use on any teammates or opponents. If magic is used, the team is disqualified." The announcer began.

We flew on our brooms, hovering by our teammates as we faced Ravenclaw. I spotted Jasper in the group, mirroring the same spot I was hovering in.

Which position is Jasper in? I asked Edward in my thoughts, letting my shield down.

He's Ravenclaw's chaser, like you. So, you two should be going in the same position. I already told him to go at human speed, since our brooms are already fast. Edward thought back at me. I nodded and put my shield back up.

"Ready?" The announcer called out. We all leaned forward, gripping our brooms.

"Set?" I tensed.

"Quidditch!" and with that, we all went off in different directions, while the Ravenclaw scattered. We knew that since Ravenclaw had the brains of the school, that they would have a great plan for this match. Unfortunately, Jasper blocked his thoughts for the past few days from Edward, so we didn't know it.

The bludger went flying past me, and Edward and the other kid went after it. I watched as Edward hit it, but another kid on the Ravenclaw team caught before it could get in their hoop. He and another big kid flew towards our hoops, but Edward and the student- Tom, I think his name was- were already by our hoops, ready for them.

The boy passed it on to his teammate, then he threw it towards our hoops, but Edward was already there, so he blocked it and sent it flying back to their side. It went through the third tallest hoop.

"Fifteen points to Gryffindor, thanks to Edward Cullen!" the announcer shouted. Everyone cheered and I cheered with them. Edward heard me and smiled when he spotted me.

The game continued on, with Edward and Tom making points. Harry and Ron made some points, but mainly Edward and Tom got our team major points. I knew the snitch was going to be coming out soon, and Jasper knew too.

"The snitch is out! It's all up to one of the two chasers to get it, to win the game!" the announcer shouted. Suddenly, I saw a gold blur fly out, and it jerked about, twisting different ways.

"Go, Bella!" I heard Edward shout from behind me. I flew off towards it, following it's every move. Jasper was on my tail, ready for me to miss my chance. Two other Ravenclaws came up behind Jasper and came towards me, but George and Fred came up to them and bumped them aside. They shouted, "Go, Bella!" at me before they blocked the two students and were very far back from me.

I looked back ahead of me and the snitch was in front of me. I flew forward even more, with Jasper at my right side now. We were zooming in circles, following after the snitch while doing so. Everyone was watching us, following the snitch. We were very close to getting to it.

Suddenly, Jasper stopped and howled out in pain. I looked over at him and saw his whole face in pain. Edward noticed this and looked at us.

"Jasper?!" I called out to him, stopping as well. We let the snitch hover off. The whole Cullen family watched as he stopped. I saw Alice was standing in the crowd. I saw as Jasper panted, while trying to hold up a hand, but he couldn't, since he was shaking violently.

"What is it, Jasper?!" I asked him again. I felt Edward fly over next to me. Jasper gulped and turned his head. We followed his gaze and he raised his hand towards the person. Everyone in the audience stopped cheering and yelling, and watched what was happening.

Edward and I gasped, then Jasper fell off his broom, falling to the ground.

"JASPER!" my entire family yelled through the silence. I watched in horror as Jasper fell through the air, his eyes closed. Edward and I descended to the ground, while I saw our family running down the steps of the stands. Edward and I ran over to him, after we landed on the ground. Edward and I tried waking him, but he didn't move. Alice came running over to us, moving us out of the way.

"Jasper! PLEASE WAKE UP!" Alice wailed, burying her face in his hair. Rosalie kneeled down and wrapped her arms around Alice's shoulders. Alice continued dry sobbing. I looked back up at the stands to see Jasper's attacker-

Professor Umbridge was still standing, her wand out.

Then, once she realized that the entire school was staring at her, she said a spell and disappeared.

A while, Jasper woke up, and everyone- who was still in the stands- cheered as he got back up. Alice wouldn't let him go, so he had to walk around, carrying a still dry-sobbing Alice in front of him.

Once we were back in our school uniforms, I asked Harry to get the others- Ron, Hermione, George and Fred, Ginny, Luna, Neville- and any of his trustworthy friends or anyone who wants to take down Voldemort, to meet our family, minus Carlisle and Esme, in the town near us. We would meet in the small pub.

"Emmett! Don't ruin my hair!" I looked behind me to see Emmett laughing, wearing a large dark blue coat with a fuzzy blue hat on and black pants and snow boots, while Rosalie glared at him, wearing a blazing red jacket and white pants with snow pink boots and matching pink fuzzy hat.

It was snowing around us as we walked down to the town near the school, as we all wore comfortable, but still trying to pull off as human, winter outfits, since it was winter here.

I looked over to my right to see Jasper walking, carrying an excited Alice on his back. Jasper wore a dark red jacket with black pants and snow boots, with a red hat on. Alice wore a bright purple jacket with blue pants and snow pink boots, with a bright green hat on top of her head.

Edward wore a navy blue jacket with black pants and black snow boots, with a dark emerald green fuzzy hat on. I wore a matching jacket with white pants and navy blue boots, with a black and green fuzzy hat on.

Nessie was in my arms, wearing a puffy pink jacket and pink pants, with white snow boots on, and a blue fuzzy hat on.

I made Jake to stay at the school while we were going to the pub to meet up with Harry and the others. Alice, apparently, already saw this coming- why she didn't see what happened to Jasper earlier, I didn't know- a few days ago, but we kept it to ourselves. So, she already asked the pub owner and we would all meet downstairs of the pub.

We spotted the pub and walked over to it. We entered it and shuffled down to the basement. Edward, Nessie and I sat in the front while the others stood off to the side.

After waiting a half an hour, Harry and the other piled in, bringing a few more friends. A girl with black hair in pigtails and grey eyes from Hufflepuff, a boy with blonde hair with dark eyes from Ravenclaw, a boy with black hair with blue tips and blue eyes from Gryffindor, a girl with red hair and freckles with green eyes from Raveclaw, her twin- a boy copy of her- from Hufflepuff, a girl with black curly hair from Gryffindor, a tall lanky boy with long shaggy black hair and with sea green eyes from Hufflepuff, twin girls with black shiny hair and brown eyes- both from Ravenclaw, and a small boy with ginger hair and blue eyes from Hufflepuff.

All in all, we were a group of twenty-five wizards.

Harry, Ron and Hermione walked up to us and sat in the three empty seats by us. The others sat down in seats that were there. Luckily, Alice made the room bigger.

We all sat in silence, until Hermione spoke up.

"We need to do something, to stop Professor Umbridge."

Probably not a long chapter again.

But there's a cliffy for all of you.

Did anyone expect Umbridge to use one of the curses on Jasper during the Quidditch match? If so, then this chapter wasn't much of a surprise to you all. If not, did I surprise you?

Well, again, I was planning on just doing the Quidditch match, but I thought that wouldn't be as good as this. (Hopefully, it was good enough.)

Anyway, I wanted to get this chapter out, because my cousins might be coming over tomorrow, and my mom probably won't let me on the computer to type up a new chapter, so I thought instead of just leaving everyone with one chapter, why not leave 'em another one?

Plus, my friend was being pushy again, and so I thought I would make her happy with this.

Hope you're happy now, friend! (You know who you are… scourgeluver.)

So, please don't bug me, this weekend, scourgeluver. I told you that my cousins might be coming over this weekend when we were in school, so I have to remind you again.

Anyway, please review, vote on the poll and wait for the next chapter!

Until then,
