hey! next chapter is here. um yeah i dont own anything and i hop you like it!

Allie stared at Harry with her mouth hanging open. She shook her head to clear her mind. "I'm sorry Harry. I must have had a stroke or something because I could have swore you just said they think I murdered Mr. Crouch." Harry pursed his lips and looked away from her. Allie waited for him to response. It had to be a mistake, there is no way they could suspect her.

"Fudge thinks you did it sweetie. They're out there waiting for you." Harry said gently. Allie let out a sharp breath. How could this be happening? Harry wrapped her in his arms and held her close. Allie was in a state of shock, she sputtered to get words out but it all just came out as gibberish. "I did my best to convince him that there is no way you could have done it but he didn't believe me. He wants to talk to you. They let me come in and get you so there wouldn't be a scene." Harry cradled her head in his hands as he talked.

"That stupid git! Allie would never do that!" Ron shouted quietly, his ears were bright red. Hermione nodded her head.

"They cannot take her away without any evidence can they?" Hermione asked, her tone was what Allie liked to call her "study voice" which meant she was in 'figure it out' mode. Allie's eyes widened and she snapped up from Harry's arms.

"They're gonna take me away? I didn't- I wasn't even in the... Why would he-" Allie couldn't finish any of the sentence. Harry quieted her down by keeping eye contact. He noticed that her eyes were bright red, she had to calm down. He cupped her cheek in his hand and tried to sooth her.

"Allie, you need to relax. They aren't taking you anywhere, I wouldn't let that happen ok? But right now just calm down, you cannot go out there with your eyes like that." Allie nodded and took deep breathes. She counted to ten in her head and immediately felt her human side take control over the vampire side.

She opened her eyes and met Harry's. "Good girl. Now they're waiting." He stood up and took her hand. She hesitated but eventually stood up. Hermione and Ron did the same. Each of the two gave her a hug and said a reassuring comment, even though they knew it wouldn't help much.

Harry walked Allie slowly over to the portrait hole. She stopped right before they came to it. Harry wrapped the small blond in his arms and rested his chin on top of her head. "Everything will be alright. You'll see. Dumbledore won't allow him to take you." He let go of Allie and looked intently at her

Allie was frowning and didn't meet his eyes. She let out one light chuckle of disbelief. Her head rose up so her sapphire blue gaze mixed with Harry's. "I didn't do it."

"Of course you didn't." Harry nodded at the door. "Now go tell him that. I'll be waiting here for you when you get back." He kissed her forehead and motioned her to go to the portrait hole. She took a deep breath and stepped through.

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

Allie closed the portrait behind her. She was confronted by Dumbledore, Moody, and Fudge. Allie gave them a small smile. "Miss. Cullen. We came to escort you to the Headmaster's office." At the sound of Fudge's timid voice all her fear left. Why should she fear a man that is afraid of her?

"Of course you have." She said sarcastically sweet. Moody grunted and Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"After you, Cornelius" Professor Dumbledore held out his arm for the Minister to move past him. Fudge nodded business-like and began to walk. Dumbledore followed him, then Allie with Moody bringing up the rear. The walk back to the office was unbearable Allie could feel her heart pounding in her chest and was pretty sure everyone could hear it beating. She felt her knees become wobbly, she hoped that she would be able to make it to Dumbledore's tower without collapsing. Thank Merlin they had arrived a couple minutes and she was still walking.

Fudge opened the door for her, she walked in and sat in her usual seat (is it bad to have a usual seat in the headmaster's office? Cuz most kids would think so but if you were me you'd think it'd be an exception since i am a vampire and had a lot of problems and- mind babbling. Shut up!) The men came into the room. The only one to take a seat was Dumbledore, the remaining two stood facing her with accusing eyes.

"Miss. Cullen." Dumbledore started. He folded his hands together in a very calm, relaxed manner. "Did you-"

"Did you murder Barty Crouch?" Fudge cut in. His voice was laced with a mixture of outrage and fear.

"No." She said confidently. She had nothing to hide, it was the plain truth. But she was sure that wasn't the issue here.

"Is it true that you hunt in the woods once a month to keep your vampire part in check?" The minister asked.

"Yes, but-"

"And is it true that the last time you went hunting was yesterday?" He continued.

"Yes and-" She did go hunting yesterday but she didn't see Crouch anywhere.

"I think we have heard everything we needed to hear Albus." Fudge concluded. Allie let out a sharp breath.

"Minister that is not fair. I have done nothing wrong!" She was standing now, her anger over what the Minister of Magic was doing had caused her legs to go back to normal, fear was not one of the many emotions she was feeling at the moment. She could feel her eyes turning red and she was sure that if Fudge said another word they would be full on red like regular vampires eyes.

"It's not fair? You are a dangerous monster! Why Dumbledore has let you stay here in the first place I have no clue but this my dear is justice for Barty Crouch."

"Why would I kill Mr. Crouch? I didn't know the man!" Her fists were clenched tightly, she could feel the blood running down her palms for the shear force of nails against her skin. She had to calm down.

Fudge shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe he got in your way while you were hunting? Or maybe you were not satisfied with your kill."

Dumbledore stood up and slammed his fists on the desk. Allie had never seen the headmaster mad before, it was an intimidating sight. "I demand that you stop attacking my student at once!"

"Albus, the proof is right in front of us! She is the only one who could have possibly done this."

"Bullshit!" Allie called out. Her fury was growing with every word the man was saying. This guy had guts to be testing a vampire. "There are loads of people who could have done this! But you can't figure it out so you decided to blame the vampire. That's easy, right? No one would question your conclusion because I am a monster as you so kindly put it Minister. You can call me whatever you want but I will not allow you to blame me for something I haven't done." She growled at him like she had seen Jake do to people he was angry at.

The minister was bright red, he walked over and towered over the small blond girl. "How dare you." He leaned down close enough that she was able to smell his sickening cologne. "You vile little girl, how dare you?" Allie began to feel light headed. She wanted to rip his head off and right now she was sure she could. Usually she wasn't strong but with her vampire side in control and her adrenaline pumping there was no telling what she could do to this man. Allie took a deep breath and dug her nails deeper into her hands but still she wasn't in control.

In a flash she was sitting on the stairs that led up to Dumbledore's loft. She was gone so fast that Fudge didn't have time to react, he searched around the room until his eyes found Allie on the last step in the corner of the room. He began to make his way over to her but Moody stepped in front of him. "I think you have done enough Minister."

Dumbledore nodded his head in agreement. "Pushing a vampire past their limit is not a wise idea Cornelius." Dumbledore rushed over to Allie. She was cradling her head in her closed hands. She rocked violently back and forth. The headmaster stayed about four feet away but he was still close enough to try and calm her. Allie counted to fifty before she felt human again. She unclenched her fists and winced at the instant pain she felt in her palms. She turned them over and saw the deep nail shaped gouges covered in blood.

"Oh, Allie." Dumbledore said quietly. Allie tried to hold back the tears that were forming. Those cuts freaking hurt and she was frustrated and everything was screwed up and all this stuff was coming at once, she was sure she was about to lose it again. Dumbledore took her hands in his own and examined them. "You got right done to the bone." He breathed out.

"See Dumbledore!" Somehow Fudge had made his way close enough to see Allie's injuries. "She is a danger to herself as well as others. She should-"

"That is enough Minister." Dumbledore said calmly but forcefully. "We both know she did not do this. Allie was right, you are looking for someone to blame and she was just standing there waiting for it. You must keep searching for the real culprit." The headmaster looked at Allie with regretful eye before returning his gaze to the minister. "I believe it is time for you to leave, Cornelius. Allister will see you out."

Fudge opened his mouth to say something but Moody beat him to the punch. "Right this way Minister." He placed a large scarred hand on Fudge's back and almost pushed him out the door. The click of the lock brought with it a feeling of relief for Allie. She leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes. Losing control wasn't hard but gaining it back was the kicker. It was extremely tiring to come back from her vampire side.

Dumbledore went over to his desk and retrieved his wand. "I'll fix this in an instant. Trust me, you won't feel a thing." Allie shook her head and brought her hands close to her chest, dripping blood all over her clothes and the stair she sat on.

"Don't bother. I'm alright." She said through clenched teeth. Dumbledore let out a soothing sigh.

"Allie, you are losing a lot of blood and your injuries are deep. Now you have done a great deal of damage to yourself and I suggest you let me fix you up so I don't have Harry rushing into my office in ten minutes demanding to know what happened. I would appreciate some rest tonight, wouldn't you?" Allie rolled her eyes and gave her hands to Dumbledore. He was right, per his usual. Harry would have a heart attack and she wouldn't get the sleep she so desperately needed and wanted. "Thank you." Dumbledore said a short spell and within an instant Allie felt a warm heat spread through her fingers then the rest of her hand.

When the feeling returned to normal she saw that the gouges were no longer there. "Thanks, Professor."

Dumbledore gave a smile in response. "You know Allie- do you mind if I call you Allie?"

The small blond shook her head. She actually preferred him to call her by her first name. Dumbledore continued.

"That was a very brave and stupid thing you did with the Minister. He is the head of the wizarding community and a very powerful man. The things you said could have potentially brought you a great deal of trouble."

Allie looked deep into the Headmaster's kind blue eyes. "Professor I read his mind. I knew what he was thinking. He had no idea if I killed Mr. Crouch or not. I was just someone he could blame. I will not let who I am supposed to be dictate who I will be and people who judge me based on the nature of others of my kind are completely stupid." She dropped her gaze.

"That is very wise of you." Allie gave the headmaster a small smile. There was a slight silence. "Is there something you would like to share with me?"

Allie thought about it. She played with her newly healed fingers as she began to talk again. "I wanted to... kill Fudge today. I have never felt that way before, I felt furious like the only way I would ever be ok again was if I killed him."

"Your father had temper problems, too." Allie's eyes shot up.

"You knew my father?"

Dumbledore nodded his head. "I went to Washington a few weeks before Lord Voldemort made it to them when you were still a baby. I asked them to join our cause but they declined gracefully. They were having enough problems with other vampires."

Tears rolled silently down Allie's cheeks. "What kind of problems?" Jake never told her this story before. She had no idea that her family was in trouble before Voldemort even made it onto the scene.

The wrinkled man shook his head. "I don't think it would be wise for me to tell you in your unstable condit-"

"Professor please. Tell me. What problems?"

Dumbledore let a sigh and nodded. "Very well... Your family was preparing for their own little war of sorts. Supposedly they had broken a vampire law set down by a clan called the Volturi. This clan that had declared it's self the rulers of the vampires found out that the Cullens had a vampire baby in their midst." Allie swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. "The penalty for this crime was death. Your family knew the Volturi would come with an army to destroy you as well as them. They were gathering their own army to set things straight. Your grandfather and father were hoping the Volturi would give them enough of a chance to let them see you and explain that they had not turned you into a vampire but you were born that way. They had a lot to think about, there was no way they would be able to help us and I understood that."

Allie was having an information overload. "Why don't I remembered any of this?"

"I don't know. Perhaps you have blocked it out? With your mind capabilities that isn't a completely horrible assumption." Allie nodded her head and wiped away a tear that had landed on her chin. "The point I'm trying to make here Miss. Cullen is that you are your fathers daughter. I only stayed with them a few days but I could tell he had trouble keeping himself in check too but I also noted that he was able to restrain it. The fear of losing either you or your mother gave him the will to fight it." The small girl gave him a small smile.

"Thank you, Professor."

"Anytime Allie." He gave her a pat on the shoulder and stood up. Allie reluctantly got to her feet and stretched.

"I suggest you go back to your dorm now and get some sleep. Oh and please make sure that Harry does not come up tonight. I truly am exhausted." Allie chuckled and promised she would keep Harry away.

"Goodnight sir."

"Pleasant dreams Allie"

She left the office behind her and started down the twists and turns of the corridors. Allie had not heard the story about her family gathering other vampires to protect her. She now felt responsible for their deaths. How could she not? If it wasn't for her they would have joined with Dumbledore and they... they never would have been there when Voldemort came. It was all her fault.

"No, it's not." Allie looked around to find the voice that had startled her but she couldn't, the corridor was deserted. "Their deaths are not your fault." Harry appeared from under his invisibility cloak. Allie sighed.

"Harry you scared the crap out of me." She walked up and gave him a hug. He released her and looked her up and down.

"Why are you covered in blood?"

Allie just waved it off. "I'll tell you later. I'm fine so don't freak out like I know you're about to."

Harry nodded his head sternly before continuing. "There was nothing you could have done to prevent your family's death. It was predestined."

"I don't believe that. My aunt Alice saw the future but her visions changed with every choice a person made. Don't say it was meant to happen because things can always change."

"Allie, do you think your parents would have wanted to live if it meant that they would never have had you? I don't think they would. Their sacrifice gave you the chance to live and I'm sure your dad and mum are somewhere agreeing with me."

Allie looked down at her hands. "Is that what you think your parents are saying? That they gladly died to keep you alive?"

Harry nodded his head. "I'm not a vampire so I can die quite easily, Allie. Without my mother's sacrifice I would have died instantly. I am gratefully to her everyday of my life." He paused and took her hands in his own. "The only thing we can do for them now is to live our lives to the fullest. We have to live for all of them." Harry looked deep into her eyes. "Okay?"

Allie nodded her head. Harry did the same. "Ok, how about we go back and get some sleep? You can tell me what happened in the morning."

They walked down the halls and reached Gryffindor Tower. Allie went to bed but she knew that no sleep would come to her tonight.

tell me what you think! thanks for reading! =]
