Twilight/Harry Potter Crossover

Chapter 4

Bella jaw dropped.

"Wizard?" she squeaked. Edward chuckled at her reaction. She glared at him. He was so taken aback from the look she gave him, he immediately stopped, his face becoming stony and ridged. She looked at Draco, silently demanding an explanation.

"It was better if you didn't know. But when this..." He struggled for a word to describe Edward, so just pointed his wand at him, "barged in here, I worried for you, so here we are." Bella was speechless. "You have to believe me, I was going to tell you. But not yet. I didn't want it to change your opinion of me. When he leaves... which he was just thinking of doing. I will tell you everything. I promise."

She still couldn't speak, but nodded. Edward dared to glance at her.

"Wait... Let me speak." Edward said. "She has a right to know why I came here. I realised when I left, I broke your heart. I understand why you left, but please Bella, come back with me. Come back to Forks. Your father misses you... Your mother too. Come home Bella." Edward looked at her pleadingly.

Bella spoke for he first time, after taking everything in. "No. You hurt me badly. I can't risk that again Edward. And as for Charlie... He knows I'm safe, so does my mother. Forks holds to many bad memories for me... Now you can leave. Goodbye Edward." She looked at him, he could tell from her face, she was serious. He nodded.

"Bye Bella." He whispered, glaring at Draco, who stood with a smug grin on his face. Edward left swiftly, but if Bella knew Edward at all, this wasn't over. He wasn't going to leave just yet. He was going to keep trying. Edward didn't take things lying down... He was persistent. Draco looked at Bella, he threw his wand through the bathroom door, onto the bed. He walked towards her, his arms open, and embraced her.

"He won't stop. He's going to keep trying.. He's going to try make me go back." Bella choked. "I don't want to go back. I'm happy here."

Draco stroked her damp hair. "I won't let him take you," he whispered, pulling her gently out the shower, he walked with her to the bedroom, and sat her down on the bed. She eyed the wand cautiously.

"I said I would tell you about myself. And I will," Draco took a deep breath, "I was born to a very wealthy, very rich, and very dark pureblood wizard family. My mother and father both raised me to believe in blood purity, and as a pureblood, I was told I was better than other wizards, because the pure families were so few. I attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry when I was 11. I was sorted into Slytherin, I will talk about the houses soon," he added when Bella looked confused, and he started to pace, "I was evil. And taunted any student who I deemed as unworthy to be in the school, again because of their blood status. I was a bully, but I didn't care. After the Dark Lord was defeated in my final year at Hogwarts, I strived to live a better life, and not be imprisoned like my father. I moved away from my family home, got a job and started to build my life again. I tried to be nicer, and instead of attacking innocent Mug.. Non-magical people, I started to befriend them, pretending I was one of them. But your friend realised what I was. And now you know everything."

Bella was silent. Her eyes wide in amazement as she absorbed everything. She frowned slightly. "Dark Lord?"

"Yes... But the less said about him, the better."

Bella nodded.

"Can you take me as who I am? The real me? Or do you want to turn your back and leave? I will understand whatever you choose to do."

Bella was again silent, and she looked at him, his grey eyes piercing into her dark brown ones. She couldn't leave him... Could she?

"I want to stay. I can deal with this," her lips tugged up into a slight smile, and she stood up. "Thank you for telling me." Draco nodded, surprised at how well she was taking this. It shocked him, but he shrugged it off. He could see Bella being a major factor in his future, and now she knew everything, he didn't have to have any secrets from her, and he was glad. He could see himself eventually loving her. His whole future know flashed in front of his eyes. Bella watched him, wondering what he was thinking. She tilted her head slightly.

"I'm going to get some cleans clothes. Do you want me to leave you alone for a little bit?"

Draco crashed back to Earth, and shook his head. "I'll come with you." After Bella's worries of Edward not giving up, he was not letting her out of his sight, until he was sure he had gone back to Forks...Without Bella. She walked to the door, stopping to scoop up her clothes from the previous day, opened the door, and padded down the silent corridor in her towel, with Draco following behind her, also in his towel. Bella was grateful that no one knew her here. If this had happened in Forks, everyone would know. The rumours would be rife. She walked to her door, pulling her key out of yesterday's jeans, and opened it.

"Let me go in first," Draco suggested. Bella looked at him, but moved away from the door, Draco sidestepped her, his hand brushing her arm momentarily, and pushed the door open. He scanned the room as he walked in. No sign of Edward. She followed, dropping her clothes on the armchair in the corner of the room, as she closed the door. Draco wandered around the room, as Bella grabbed some fresh clothes, and made her way to the bathroom.

"I'll be back in a minute," she smiled at him as she passed him. He sat on the edge of the bed, still scanning the room.

A loud 'bang' came from the bathroom. Draco's head snapped in the direction of the sound. "Bella?" he called.

"I'm okay!" Bella replied quickly, no way she was letting him now how clumsy she was. She'd stood on her jeans as she tried to pull them on, and fell into the door. She smiled slyly to herself, and got dressed, brushing her teeth thoroughly. Draco laughed silently, knowing she'd probably fallen. He lay back on the bed, stretching his arms above his head.

"Put some clothes on will you." A voice whispered, Draco sat up, looking around, but couldn't see anyone. The voice laughed, gradually quietening as though it was caught on the wind. He lay back down, closing his eyes.

Bella came out the bathroom, grinning at how comfortable Draco looked. She sat next to him. Her fingers tracing the contours of his chest. He smiled but didn't open his eyes. Bella loved being able to touch his warm skin, hear his heart beating. She thought she'd had it all with Edward, but this was completely different. Even though he was a wizard, and she wasn't. Even though they came from two different worlds. Even though she'd only just met him. She thought the time she'd spent with him was perfect. This wasn't about anything long-lasting just yet, although she did hope it could be, this was about living in the moment... And enjoying it. Which she was. Her fingers still slowly creating patterns on Draco's skin, she lay on her side next to him, watching him as he drifted of to sleep, warm and comfortable, her fingers never stopping but gradually becoming slower, she too closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

(Please let me know if you think I should continue with this fic. :D)
