The rest of the week passed pretty normally. Allie had no trouble with any other teachers, thank Merlin. After dinner on Friday night, Harry, Ron, Allie, and Hermione sat in the Great Hall were the Goblet of Fire was set up and watched as people placed their names in it. Harry and Ron were walking around discussing the tournament with Dean, Seamus, and Neville while Allie and Hermione sat on the bleachers that were set up. Each had a book in hand but got little reading done. They chatted about school and things they missed about the muggle world.

A group of boys from Durmstrang came in led by Viktor Krum. He walked straight pass the age line and slipped a piece of paper into the blue flame billowing from the Goblet. He paused for a second and Allie noticed him glance at Hermione. She turned to see Hermione's reaction. She was smiling.

"Hermione, Viktor Krum was totally checking you out."

"What? That is insane, he was not." Hermione tried to suppress a smile.

Allie chuckled. "Whatever you say."

Next to come in was a boy that Hermione identified as Cedric Diggory. He was accompanied by his rambunctious friends. "Go on Ced!" Allie heard one boy exclaim. The group pushed him up to the Goblet and he placed his name in it. He turned and spotted Allie. It was Viktor Krum all over. Only this time the boy's attention was placed on Allie. He glanced at her and flashed one of the best smiles she had ever seen.

She felt a little tug where her heart was. Oh come on Allie. You're NOT one of those girls that faints when the handsome young man smiles at you. Cedric walked backwards to rejoin his friends, his eyes never leaving Allie.

He was really handsome. He reminded her of someone she knew once... but she couldn't place it. He broke eye contact first and this caused Allie to snap out of it. She flushed red not believing that she was acting like such a... teenage girl. Cedric started walking out of the Great Hall but before exiting he turned to glance at Allie once more. She smiled.

As Cedric left the Weasley twins walked in which caused all the Gryffindors in the room to erupt in applause. They were up to some hair brained scheme but Allie was too focused on the boy that made her feel something that she hadn't felt in a long time to even notice what the red heads were up to. She felt happy.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Knight to E3." Harry said to the magic chess board that sat in front of him. Him and Ron were in a very heated game of Wizard's Chess. Harry's Knight went were instructed and took out Ron's bishop. Ron studied the board, trying to find a move. After a few seconds he grinned wickedly and ordered his rook to D5.

"Checkmate" Ron stated, not even trying to hide his gloating. Harry wasn't surprised, Ron always won when they played wizard's chess. Harry sighed.

He spotted Allie in the same chair she occupied the night before classes started, she was again reading. He was still trying to figure out what happened between her and Professor Lupin that first morning in Defense Against the Dark Arts. It almost seemed like they disliked each other. But how could they? They've never met before then, had they? Yet another question surrounding the beautiful girl sitting five feet away from him.

"Hey Allie," Ron asked while setting up the chess board for round two. "Where's Hermione? "

"I last left her in the library. She was catching up on some reading."

"Well aren't you reading?" Ron raised an eye brow.

"Is that a rhetorical question, Ronald?" Allie questioned. She'd known Ron for a week and she still couldn't figure out where he went with his questions sometimes.

"Well if you can read while in the Common Room why can't she?"

"Because Hermione has more trouble multitasking than I do. I can listen to you guys argue about what color you want to be in chess while Hermione needs peace and quite to concentrate."

"Oh." was Ron's only reply.

"But if you ask me, I don't think reading is the reason she went to the library" Allie whispered to Harry, who only tilted his head to one side, puzzled.

"Harry?" Colin Creevey came up to the trio. He seemed excited to be around the 'Boy Who Lived'.

"Yes, Colin?" Harry didn't seem to notice the younger boy's giddiness, or he was just used to it.

"Professor Dumbledore would like to see you in his office."

"Thanks." Harry started to get up. Colin was still standing there, doting on Allie. To Harry she looked a little uncomfortable under the boy's gaze, but she smiled at him sweetly anyway. "Was there something else, Colin?" Harry asked with a sharp edge to his voice. For some reason he was suddenly annoyed with the young Gryffindor.

"Oh, right. Allie," He said her name slowly, as if savoring it, "is supposed to go with you."

"Oh, alright." Allie seemed surprised and something else, was it nervous? Harry wasn't sure. He had no clue what Dumbledore would need with them at this hour, no time like the present to find out.

Allie and Harry walked out of the portrait hole and headed to the headmaster's office. They walked in silence, the only noise to be heard was the sound of their footsteps. Harry took the lead, Allie still had trouble finding her way around the school.

Hermione insisted that it would take some time, but she would be able to find the bathroom on her own eventually. Allie knew she was hopeless with directions, no matter how many times Hermione told her the way to the library, she would still get lost and end up in the Astronomy Tower. Hermione was just being nice.

Harry informed Allie that they were almost there and a second later she smelt a werewolf, the stench hit her square in the face. Professor Lupin... This cannot be good. Lupin and Allie were civil to each other but he still kept his distance. He didn't trust her which was to be expected. It's not like she would invite him to a sleepover and tell him all her secrets, but she didn't distrust him either.

When they approached the gargoyle statue that hid the entrance to Dumbledore's Office sure enough the DADA teacher was waiting for them. Harry said a quick hello and Allie waved. The professor simply nodded before saying "Lemon Drops."

"Huh? What kind of password is that?" Allie whispered to Harry as they stood on the escalator like stairs.

"Professor Dumbledore has a thing for candy." He seemed a little confused by the headmaster's choice too.

That was a good enough answer for Allie. Her password for everything was the name of her favorite actor. She liked him, Dumbledore liked candy, same difference.

The spiraling stairs stopped and they were face to face with a large wooden door. Professor Lupin opened the door for them and motioned that they enter. The office was spectacular in Allie's eyes. There were books everywhere, on shelves and just piled up on the floor. Moving portraits of the past headmasters of Hogwarts covered the walls.

On a table sat an assortment of silver and gold interments that Allie had never seen before, they were very intriguing. Under different circumstances Allie would have loved to browse through the room, but she was having a hard time just standing on this particular night. She knew why she was there. She didn't even have time to warn Harry...

"Harry." Her eyes were filled with regret. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

"Tell me what?" He was unsure of what she was talking about. At that moment Professor Dumbledore appeared from the second floor loft in his office. "Ah, Harry, Allie, welcome. I'm sorry I could not have called this meeting earlier in the day but I had things to see to. Remus, how are you?" The two adults shook hands.

"To me honest Albus, I'm kind of confused as to why I was summoned to this meeting." His glance strayed to where Allie was standing next to Harry. Her hand resting on his arm.

"I thought that you should hear this story too. Considering it somewhat concerns you and your... condition." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "Please won't everyone take a seat?"

The three did as instructed. Harry sat between Allie and Lupin. Allie was staring at her hands. What the bloody hell is going on? And why is it making her so uncomfortable?

"Now Harry, I understand that you have no clue why you were called here tonight is that correct?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Very well. Now Harry, you remember what you were told about the night your parents died?" Harry nodded.

"Voldemort killed my parents in hopes of getting to me and... killing me, Sir."

"That is correct. Now Harry, that was not the first time, believe it or not that Voldemort tried to kill an infant and failed." Harry's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about, Professor?"

Instead of addressing Harry, Dumbledore turned to Allie. "Miss. Cullen, if you would please." Allie lifted her gaze to the headmaster then laid her blue eyes on Harry. She looked down at her wrist before rolling up her sleeve and started to untie the bracelet she wore there. She slid the bracelet off and put it in her pocket.

Harry could see nothing abnormal about her skinny wrist. But then she flipped her arm so that her palm pointed up to the ceiling. Harry instinctively reached over to stroke the lightening shaped scar etched into the underside of her wrist with his thumb.

"Harry meet the Girl who Lived." Dumbledore stated simply. Harry was feeling several emotions at the same time. Confusion and shock being two of them. Lupin stood up to inspect the scar identical to Harry's.

"How could this be, Albus?" He might have been even more shocked then Harry at this point. Allie pulled her wrist away from the staring men but did not roll her sleeve back down.

"We had better start from the beginning." Dumbledore said. "Before Voldemort was destroyed, he went around the world trying to find witches and wizards, along with a variety of other creatures such as werewolves, giants, and vampires to join his cause." At the word 'vampires' Allie's head shot up. "Voldemort heard of a very powerful coven of vampires that resided in Washington state in America." The headmaster knew that Harry would start to understand now.

If possible, Harry's eyes grew even wider. This cannot be heading where I think it is. He turned to Allie, who would not look at him, but just stared straight at Dumbledore.

"He went to America in hopes that the Cullen's would join him. They refused to be a part of his army. He didn't take very kindly to that." Silent tears rolled down Allie's cheeks. This was almost too painful for her to bear. "The next night a group of Voldemort's werewolves showed up at the Cullen's house and slaughtered them. Tore them about and burned the body parts." Allie's silent tears turned into sobs.

"I'm sorry Miss. Cullen if you would like..."

"No please, continue. He needs to know." She choked out. Lupin placed an awkward hand on her shoulder. Her sobs subsided a little.

Dumbledore nodded, then continued. "For some reason unknown to us, Voldemort told the werewolf pack to leave the vampire baby alive.. After the werewolves left Voldemort went to the nursery to kill the child. He sent the Avada Kedavra curse on the baby but nothing happened. I assume he was weakened significantly by this. Soon after his attempt a band of local werewolves, friends of the Cullen vampires, stormed the house. They saw the smoke from their reservation. But when they arrived all that they found was the child. Voldemort must have fled when he heard the wolf howls. One of the werewolves was a friend of Allie's mother. He took her home with him and raised her. Little did they know at that time that Allie was not only a vampire but also a witch."

Harry's brain was having an information overload. He was for some reason angry at Allie for not telling him and angry at Dumbledore FOR telling him.

"So not only are you like me, your also a... vampire?" Harry muttered. Allie hesitated then answered. "I'm only a half vampire. My mother was mortal when she gave birth to me." Professor Lupin looked at Allie in amazement.

"Allie is very special. She is the only one of her kind that we know of." Dumbledore stated matter of factly.

"But Albus, why has the world never heard of her and her story?"

"Probably because she did not kill Voldemort that night, only weakened him, which I believe is the reason why Harry destroyed him the night he was attacked. Voldemort overestimated his strength, thought he had rested enough to go after the Potter's. This mistake cost him his life."

"And a half vampire? I didn't even know that was possible."

"Until Allie, everyone believed that it was impossible. However, her, mother, Bella survived giving birth to her, but just barely. Edward had to turn her into a vampire right after the baby was born."

"And your powers?" Lupin turned his attention to Allie now. "Do you have the full abilities of those of your kind?"

"No" Allie replied. "I am not strong at all, I have no clue why. I run at about the same speed as the fastest man in the world, maybe a little faster but nothing compared to other vampires. My blood is only about 20 degrees lower than humans and my skin isn't like marble. I do have vampire hearing. I'm just a hybrid but I do have my father's ability, however, it's just a little different."

"What did you father do?" Lupin asked curiosity taking over him.

"He could read minds. But unlike my father I can turn it on and off. I can hear everyone's thought's in Hogwarts if I choose to. But I usually just 'turn it off' if you will, so I don't hear them. If I find it necessary to read someones thoughts I just channel in to that significant person's mind.

"Amazing." Lupin and Dumbledore started to discuss Allie and her past once again.

The teens just sat there. Allie couldn't stand the hurt look on Harry's face. He thought she had betrayed him. And he was right. She should have told him. They had gotten so close, besides Hermione he was her best friend at Hogwarts.

"Harry, I'm so sorry." Allie whispered to him.

"What do it matter!?" Harry yelled no longer able to control his anger. Allie saw the blood pounding in the veins in his neck. "You lied to me! You knew this whole time who you were and yet you said nothing!"

"Harry, please calm down. Just hear her out." Lupin told him, raising his hands as if the gesture it's self would lower Harry's temper.

"Why should I? She's a vampire! A monster!" Harry didn't know were this rage was coming from. He was hurt that she didn't share this secret with him but he knew that it was under orders from Dumbledore. He still could not calm down.

A monster. Nothing had ever hurt her as much as those words. Harry thought she was a monster, he wanted nothing to do with her. Allie stood up to leave, she didn't want to be here anymore. She should have never came to Hogwarts. Lupin stopped her by gently grabbing her elbow.

Dumbledore remained calm. "Because Harry you two are now in this together. You are not alone anymore. You and Allie and connected in a way that no one else in the world is to another human being." Harry relaxed a little at the headmaster's last comment. He nodded his head slowly. "You two have a lot to discuss, I will excuse you from classes tomorrow to do so. If you have no more questions you are free to leave."

Harry stayed still for a moment allowing his breathing to return to normal before leaving. Allie gave the two adults a small smile and after giving Harry a 20 second head start she left the Professor's office.
