YAY! Another new chapter!

This is the farthest I have ever gotten on a story!

I really hope this story will turn out to be a success, and I hope I'll be able to finish it. Then, it'll be the very first story ever that I'll complete!

I have so many ideas on stories, I just can't wait to get them all typed up!

Anyway, the poll is going to be drawing to a close after this chapter, or if I get just ten voters on there. Because, I have been waiting long enough for voters to vote on there.

And, again, it seems like the Triwizard Tournament is going to win, and the Newborn Army will be in second.

The other two, well, no really cared about the other two.

(By the way, I think instead of four wizards, it'll be five or six wizards, thanks to DefyingGravityElphaba for giving me the idea, that way I won't copy the book. I know I got all of the positions wrong and everything. I might need to brush up on some of Harry Potter life or whatever you would like to call it.)

I'm actually excited if I get to write about the Triwizard Tournament! I've always wanted to write in this story since the very beginning, but I had to let you readers decide if you wanted it back as well.

If that wins, then I have to plot it out, because I know already who will be in there. I'll just tell you if that wins, then I'll be putting in a few made-up characters in there. The characters that I'll make up will be mine, of course.

Now, on with the new chapter!

Chapter 10

Bella's POV

And now the real training began.

For the next few weeks, we all got down to business on what spells or charms we should practice, and to see which one of us were able to do it.

Neville and Nessie were still having trouble on the disarming spell, but we always told them to keep practicing, and then they would get the hang of it. They practiced during classes- or at least tried to, since the teachers always caught them.

The rest of us were now practicing on how to make our opponent to hover in mid air. Our test subject was Isaac, while Alice, Ginny, Fred and I were making him hover. Harry helped Ginny by getting her wand at the right level of height, and I saw Ginny blush when he touched her arm. I smiled; they'd make such a cute couple.

Edward, Jasper, Luna and Hermione were practicing on the other side of the room with Nessie. At first, Edward and I refused to let her be in the air, but after she convinced that she wouldn't get hurt, we let the others lift her. Nessie was smiling at her father, while Edward smiled back at her.

When we were done with that, Harry let us practice what ever we needed to practice. Alice and Jasper practiced on the knock out spell, Emmett and Rosalie practiced on the disarming spell, while I lifted Edward in the air. I laughed at Edward surprised face when he was lifted without knowing, but now he was smiling at me.

The others around us were practicing the spells as well, some succeeding, while the others struggled.

But, during the practicing, I heard Jasper yell, "Alice!" I let Edward down and turned around to see Jasper at Alice's side, while she a blank look on her face.

"What is she seeing?" Ginny asked, since everyone stopped what they were doing when they heard Jasper's yell. "I don't know. Alice, what are you seeing?" I asked her, walking up to them. The others followed.

"Oh, nothing big you guys." Alice said in a blank voice. She snapped out of her vision, then turned to Harry. "Harry, is there another way out of here?" Alice asked her. "Um, yeah, I think. Why do you ask?" We looked at Alice for the answer.

"Someone's out there, you know, the librarian dude. He's working for Umbridge. And he's outside now. So, if we're going to do this without getting caught, we need another way around him." Alice explained. "Plus, on a side note, it's going to rain later on." Alice added with a smile. Our family hissed "yes" while the others looked at us in confusion.

We left the other way, being quiet and quick.

"Why did you guys want it to rain?" Harry asked us. "Our family plays whenever it rains. If you want to see why, you guys can come and watch. You'll see why if you do." Emmett told him. "Hey Em, want to bet?" I heard Jasper call out.

All of the Cullen girls groaned, while the others laughed.

"Sure, what's the bet?" Emmett said, smiling hugely. "Whoever's team wins, the loser has to pay the winner three hundred bucks." Jasper said. "You're on." Emmett boomed. Alice and Rosalie rolled their eyes. "So, do you know when it's going to rain, Alice?" I asked her. "Yeah, I'll let you know." Alice said. "Hey, if we come to watch you guys, do we need umbrellas?" Hermione asked us. "No, the rain won't hit us, right Alice?" Edward asked her and she shook her head.

We went to find the wolves to let them know and to ask them if they wanted to join us. They agreed to join us, saying some of them will go in their wolf form, while the others will stay human. Lily, Melantha and Aiden said they'd join in too. Des and Rische wanted to join, but we told them they could either be umpires or watch us play.

Soon, it was time to play. Harry and the others from the "Dumbledore's Army" class, came to watch us, sitting in the stands, since they were the only ones who knew about us being vampires. We decided to use the Quidditch field since it was big enough for us. Eighteen of us were playing, since Leah didn't want to play and Esme was the main umpire. Edward, Carlisle, Jasper, Seth, Jared, Melantha, Lily, Aiden and I were on one team while Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Paul, Jacob, Sam, Quil, Embry and Nessie were on the other. Des and Rische were going to be the three other umpires. I was in a panic mode again, because Nessie was on the other team. Hopefully, nothing will happen to her.

Immediately, after we picked our teams, thunder boomed off in the distance. "It's time." Alice called out.

Carlisle was up first at bat, while the others in the outfield took their positions.

"Batter up!" Esme yelled.

Harry's POV

"Batter up!" I heard Professor Cullen yell- I think her name was Esme. All of the Cullens were ready to play baseball, wearing jerseys with their names and numbers on them. Dr. Cullen- Carlisle, I think his name was- was up at bat first. He swung it around, making loud swooshing noises. Alice looked around her, then back at him. She wound up, then threw the ball, her hand shooting out like a cobra strike. Carlisle hit the ball, making a large boom just as thunder boomed. Oh, now I get why they needed the storm.

The ball went flying and Emmett ran after, while Carlisle rounded the bases. Carlisle made it a homerun, while Emmett went in the stands to get the ball. He threw it back to Alice, while Lily went up next. Alice threw the ball once, then twice- both were strikeouts. Then, on the third one, Lily hit the ball, at the same time thunder boomed again. The ball went back in the outfield, but Jacob ran after, along with Emmett. The ball dropped to the ground, and Lily made it to third base.

The game continued on, with many base runs, home-runs, but very few strikeouts. The Cullens fought with each other, and Esme had to break them up.

Now it was Nessie's turn at bat. Even though Nessie was half vampire, would she be able to get a good hit and run fast enough to the bases. She had on a helmet that was a little big, but still fit, and a bat that was only a little shorter than her. Jared was the pitcher. Edward and Bella were out in the outfield, with the others scattered. Jared looked at Nessie and said, "Do you want easy on you, Ness?" Jared asked her. Nessie stuck her tongue out. Jared laughed. He wound up, then threw the ball.

Nessie swung, at the same time thunder boomed again. The ball went towards Bella and Edward, but Nessie was already rounding second. The ball went over their heads, and it was a home-run. Nessie's team cheered for her when she did a flip and landed on home.

"Yes!" Nessie yelled, jumping up and down. Everyone in the stands clapped for her, and her parents clapped for her.

Soon, the game ended, with Edward's team the winners.

"HA! Pay up, Emmett!" Jasper shouted, holding his hand out. Everyone laughed, and Emmett paid up. We all walked back inside the school, with everyone walking around.

****************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Yeesh, being a vampire looks great!" Ron exclaimed while we walked to dinner. Edward, Bella and Nessie switched back into their school robes, then we all walked to dinner. Emmett and Rosalie left to go hunt, with Alice and Jasper following.

"Well, I wouldn't say being like us is awesome, Ron. There are some downsides to it." Bella told him. "Like what?" Hermione asked.

"Well, sometimes, if you are changed, you forget your human memories, like Alice."

"Also, you can't sleep-" Ron cut Bella off. "Well, I think that would be great." We laughed. "Well, wouldn't you like to dream once in a while?" Edward said. Ron didn't answer.

"Plus, there's the burning desire to drink human blood after you're changed. And that can be quite annoying." Bella added, rolling her eyes. "But, the good side to it is that you never have to age, you have super strength, super speed, perfect beauty, and if you're lucky, you can get cool and awesome abilities." Ron contradicted.

We quit arguing and entered the Great Hall. Lily, Melantha, Aiden, Des and Rische were waiting at the table for us- Rische and Des already eating. Edward and Bella sat diwn by Lily and Aiden while Nessie sat by her other "aunts" and began eating. Ron, Hermione and I sat by Nessie and dug in the food.

(I put my friends and myself in Gryffindor, that way there's no problems. Plus, all of my friends in real life kept saying they wanted to be in Gryffindor. *rolls eyes* So, I wasn't going to split us up.)

"Hey, where are Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice?" Des asked. Apparently, Des was being oblivious during the game and didn't see them leave to go hunt. (It's true, my friend in real life, who is this Des, is really oblivious during school.)

"Des! Remember why our friends go on a hike?" Rische implied more in the word "hike". Des looked confused at first, then she said, "Oh…" and looked down, embarrassed. Rische patted her head and Des glared at her, her highlights turning a bright orange.

After dinner, we went to the Gryffindor common room and sat around, waiting for the other Cullens to return. They arrived soon and they stayed with us.

"So, what were we going to learn tomorrow during class, Harry?" Luna asked me, from sitting by Neville. "I don't know, probably things we already know, some that we need to practice on…" I trailed off, trying to think what spells we'll need to know.

"Oh, Harry?" Edward spoke up from his spot by Bella, who was in his arms. "Yeah, Edward?" I looked at him. "Do you mind if the wolves come see us practice tomorrow? They want to see what we're doing. Plus, Jake wants to learn how he can help us, since he does have some magic in him." I thought over it and told him they could come and watch.

"Do any of the other werewolves have magic?" Des asked. "No, only Jacob." Edward answered, playing with a strand of Bella's hair. "Why only him?" Rische asked. Edward only shrugged, not paying attention. Rische sighed and muttered something to herself.

"What if the Volturi gains magic? What will we do then?" Ginny panicked, knowing that the Volturi could be very dangerous to us. "Well, we will have to try and do our best. We will need to teach you how to fight against them, especially if Jane is created newborns, like Victoria." Jasper told us, shuddering from the memory.

"Then we would have to deal with another newborn army." Rosalie muttered, glaring at the floor. "What if we destroy them?" Neville suggested. All of the vampires whipped around to face him, staring wide-eyed.

"What?" Neville asked nervously. "I don't know if we can, Neville. They have many vampires with powerful gifts that can easily get us killed." Edward told him, looking at Bella and Nessie while answering. I knew when he said that, he didn't want anything happening to Bella and his daughter. Edward nodded towards my thought.

"But…" Melantha trailed off. "What are you thinking Melantha?" Lily asked her. When she didn't answer, we turned to Edward. "Hey, don't look at me; she's blocking me with a song." Edward said, holding up his hands for a second, before replacing them around Bella and Nessie again.

"I was only thinking, that maybe we should get rid of the ones who can kill us. Also, we can get our friends that helped saved Nessie to join us in the battle." Melantha told us. "Friends? What friends?" Ron asked. "I guess we haven't told you about our friends from, well, everywhere basically." Bella mumbled, looking down.

"Well, I guess we should tell you now. You see, we have friends from all over. We know a coven in Alaska, and they'll be coming in a few weeks or so." Edward paused and looked away. "Unfortunately." He added, before looking back at the group, who looked at him confused. "You'll see why I said that. Anyway, other than that clan, we know another coven from Ireland, and another from Egypt. We know some nomad friends, though that might seem like a bad idea to bring them here. We also know another coven from the Amazon as well." We all looked at him confused. We didn't know what an Amazon was. "We'll explain later about that." Edward added again.

"Let me guess, these nomad friends of yours, they drink human blood?" Hermione guessed and Edward nodded. "That's why I think we shouldn't bring them here. We only want our friends that drink the blood we drink." Alice added. We nodded. I think Professor Dumbledore wouldn't be very happy if some nomad vampires eat his students.

"Well, it's late, so I th-" whatever Emmett was going to say was cut off by a loud and ear-shattering scream, that echoed throughout the school. We waited for it to stop, then we followed the Cullens out of the common room. We followed them to wherever that scream came from.

We ran around a corner, some of us skidded, while the others kept running. Soon, we stopped outside the library to see a crowd of teachers. Professor Dumbledore, Professor and Dr. Cullen were among them. They hovered over something, while other teachers were consoling someone in the corner.

"Carlisle, what happened?" Edward asked him. Carlisle looked up at him, then at us, then stepped aside. In the circle of the teachers, was a dead body- a boy. He wore the Slytherin robes, with tousled black hair and now-dead brown eyes.

"We don't know exactly what happened, since the young Slytherin girl over there is too distraught over whatever happened. But, what do you see on the boy's neck?" Carlisle asked us, pointing to the boy's neck. We followed his pointing and saw what was on the boy's neck.

A moon-shaped scar, similar to the ones I have seen on all of the Cullens, except Nessie.

"Vampire…" Ginny whispered. "And, a human blood-drinker at that." Fred added. "Someone should try and talk to the girl. Ask her what happened." Edward told us, walking over to the dead body. Bella let Nessie down on the ground and followed her husband. Nessie followed us over to the girl.

The girl was Slytherin, since I saw the crest on her robe. She had light brown hair in a ponytail and freckles across her face. The teachers moved away so we could talk to her.

"Um, hi." I started awkwardly, making the girl look up. She had bright blue eyes with tears falling down from them. "Oh, hello Harry." The girl mumbled to me. I, then, remembered her name was Gwen. "Um, I was wondering what happened. Can you tell us?" I asked her. She nodded and told me she and the boy- Fredrick- were walking down the hall, when a lady with blonde hair and red eyes with pale skin came out of nowhere. She was wearing a t-shirt and pants, so whenever Fredrick charged her- she didn't know why he did-, he was pushed back with ease. Then, when the lady saw her, she smiled and then she was in a great pain, only she couldn't make a sound. The lady, then, moved forward and grabbed Fredrick, and bit into his neck. Fredrick didn't do anything, since the lady instantly killed him. When the lady let him go, she had blood all over her face. And, that's when Gwen screamed.

"I thought she was going to get me next, so I did the only I could do- I screamed." Gwen ended her story. We nodded and left her, since the teachers were coming back towards her.

"We heard the whole thing, Harry. I'm thinking this was another attack from the Volturi." Carlisle said, thinking over something. "What do you think we should do? Now the poor girl probably knows what we are now, after all she experienced from earlier." Esme said, worried.

"I think it's time to tell the school what you are my friends. They are being frightened and shaken from the two deaths already. I don't think we can lie to them anymore." Professor Dumbledore stated, coming up from behind the Cullens.

"Are you sure, Albus? What if they do something irrational?" Carlisle asked him. "We'll probably figure something out. I know that these students here, along with a few others, already know about your kind. I just think that the school should know now." Dumbldore said we would have a school assembly tomorrow during one of the free periods.

Edward's POV

"Attention, students. Attention, will all students please gather in the Great Hall? Teachers may attend if they may want to. But, all students must attend the assembly. Please gather in two minutes and begin filing in." I heard Professor Dumbledore's voice heard around the school as I sat beside my Bella. All of our friends- including the ones from the secret classes- were sitting in a circle outside one of the courtyards.

My family was nervous for this assembly, for we would be telling the entire school what we truly were. Hopefully, the whole school won't go into a full-blown panic mode.

We all stood up and walked down to the Great Hall, then my family and I split up from Harry and our friends. They gathered inside the Great Hall, as more and more students began filing in there as well. Once our whole family- or all of the vampires were there- we walked inside the Hall and went up to the front. We sat down in chairs teachers had already brought out and we saw most of the school there. Dumbledore was already on a stage that he must of used magic to bring it in here. Stands were also there, replacing the tables we usually saw.

Once the last student filed in, everyone stopped talking- the whole room silent. They waited for Dumbledore to talk. Finally, he began.

"Welcome, students and teachers. You're probably wondering why I had the whole school gather in here for. Well, I can explain everything to you all.

"You see, my friend, Carlisle, and I have sensed a war is near, ready to strike the school at any given time. And, I know all of you are shaken by the two recent deaths of Fredrick Owsen and Hannah Rein, but I think it's time that I shouldn't keep secrets hidden from all of you anymore.

"My students, the Cullen family, along with their extended family, are vampires." As soon as Dumbledore spoke the last word, everyone broke out in gasps and almost immediately, some students began getting out of their seats. But, Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore quieted them. Once everything was quiet again, he continued.

"I can assure you all that the Cullens have no intention of harming any of you." Emmett snickered. "But, I must have all of your trust that you won't do anything rash." Dumbledore ended.

"Prove it!" Someone shouted. I snapped my head up to see Malfoy and his goons sneering. "Mr. Malfoy…" Dumbledore started. "No, Professor Dumbledore, if he wants proof, then we can give him proof." Carlisle told his friend, looking at us. We smiled and nodded, then we stood up.

"Come down here, Mr. Malfoy." Professor Dumbledore called to him. Malfoy came down to the stage. He conjured up a large car. "Vampires are known for their strength. If Alice, seeming as she is the smallest, can lift up the car, then she's vampire." Dumbledore told the school. Everyone watched in silence. Alice smiled and went over to the car, then she lifted it from the front. Everyone gasped as she looked for something under the car. "Oh! There's that missing jewelry piece I have been looking for!" Alice exclaimed, then she ducked down quickly, grabbed the piece, then was back up, while the car crashed down hard, the windows shattering.

"Oops…" Alice muttered, looking at the car. Then she shrugged and walked back over to us. Malfoy looked shock, then we proved it to him again.

"Bella?" Bella turned to see Carlisle smiling. "Yes?" Bella asked, waiting for her test. "Do you think you can go get Esme's necklace?" Carlisle pointed up to the ceiling and she followed his gaze. There, up at the top of the dusty ceiling, something was shining up there. She looked back and nodded. "Sure." she said before she ran off to the nearest post and jumped up. She ran up it, causing gasps from the students, and then she scaled the ceiling from the beams. Bella found Esme's necklace and grabbed it, before tossing it to her. "Thank you dear." She called up to her. "You're welcome." she called back. Bella seemed think that she should show that she could jump down from a high height without getting hurt. So, she crouched and hopped down from the beam, while people gasped again. She landed on the stage in a muted thud and walked over to our family, smiling.

After all of our family proved we were vampires to Malfoy and the school, everyone believed we were what we were.

We also told them our stories, what the Volturi, about the werewolves, which they also demonstrated, and anything there is to know about us. Everyone was amazed at Nessie, since they didn't know that a twelve-year-old half vampire/half human could do all of the things that a normal vampire could do. The students asked us other questions, and we let them know whatever there was to know about us. Also, Harry and the others told them they knew about us as well. Everyone was shocked at them, but no know judged them.

Then, when we were done telling everyone about us, we all left the Great Hall and we found our friends and talked.

"Wow, it feels like that a huge weight has been lifted!" Emmett boomed, stretching a bit.

Everyone agreed with him. "Hopefully what we just did won't risk us or our friends, to something we'll regret." Rosalie muttered as we walked down the halls.

MAN! I think this is the longest chapter I have ever typed!

Not much to say, except vote before the poll ends, review and wait for the next chapter!

BYE FOR NOW!
