I thought back on my little encounter with Shadow and finding my new baby, Never again will i go hunting with that know it all cat ..he's lucky that Akira is his partner.

It was the weekend, before the holiday season, Christmas isn't a holiday that vampires celebrate that often, because when you have a sister who can see the future and a brother who can read minds, it just gives away the surprise of giving gifts, the secret class of Defense against the dark arts, has just came to a close because of the holiday, everyone was either packing to go home or out shopping in Hogsmeade village for gifts for friends. I didn't know how imprinted werewolves could handle being away from the object of their imprinting, but that was a problem for another day. I was in my office, just relaxing, before going to Harry's Godfather's house, to be honest with myself; I was nervous. I mean how would it feel if you found out that your godson was dating a vampire who would mostly like end his life.

My siblings weren't here at the moment. So my thoughts were safe to myself. My bouts of self-loathing would be my own secret. I buried my head in my arms, I didn't want to move, but I knew my friends would be here soon, we were spending the day together before they were going to pack, most of my stuff, Alice had already replace since she didn't let us wear the same thing twice and were waiting for me at the Order's headquarters.

I lifted my head, when I heard footsteps coming closer to my office, I stood gracefully, with a second of thinking about it and walked over the fire, it was a driftwood fire, I stoked it, and place few more logs on it, I remembered how close we came to being destroyed, shaking off my mood it wouldn't be best to think of that part of joining my family.

Harry, Hermione and Ron, walked in just as I sat back down on the desk. Harry walked over to me, and kissed my cheek.

"How are you this fine bright day?" I asked.

"Fine," all three of them answered

I raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow at them; their heart rhythms were in sync which would lead me to believe either they know something and didn't want me to find out.

"Okay, this is starting to get really weird even for a vampire, what is going on?" I asked, giving them a hard glare, since I haven't been hunting yet, my eyes were a darker shade of gold almost black.

"We just saw Cho and Seth in the place" Harry answered,

"Okay, so why are you three so blasé about Seth, he knows his limits." I shrugged, what my wolf brother did wasn't any of my concern, I leave that up to Jake and Lupa, yes I did think of Jake's pack as my family.

"Are you going hunting before leaving with us?" asks Mione

"Have to. Since I haven't been." I replied I tilted my head to the hallway, confused I heard the excited beating of a heart, which is to say most of the students weren't that excited, but this seem different somehow and it was coming closer to my classroom.

Seth came into the room; smiling really show off all of his teeth smile, my quick mind came up with a reason, and I hissed. "What did you do, mutt?"

"I bet he kissed her," Ron guessed, my eyes darted from the wolf to the wizard and back again.

Seth held up his hands, "I couldn't help it, she's just so beautiful and that's not the only thing I'm happy about."

"Ashlee, calm down." Harry stated quietly, I turned to him, he was sitting on the couch, I nodded and walked over to him. Sitting down on the floor, I put my head in his lap. Seth sat on top of my desk, while Mione and Ron sat down beside Harry.

"Well, how was it?" Hermione asked, I wanted to glare at Mione but I wanted to know too.

Seth beamed "Wet. Well, she was sort of...crying."

"That bad at it, are you?" Ron asked, I loved how the gryffindors became fast friends with the wolves and my family since they came here.

"I'm sure Seth's kissing is more than satisfactory. Cho spends half her time crying these days that is until the wolf imprinted on her." I replied

"Think a bit of snogging would cheer her up." Ron commented, I rolled my eyes, I didn't realize how alike human males were.

"Don't you understand how she must be feeling?" I asked.

Ron and Seth just stare at me, but Mione caught onto what I'm trying to explain, "Well, obviously she's feeling sad about Cedric, and therefore confused about liking Seth and guilty about kissing him. Conflicted because Umbridge is threatening to sack her mother from her job at the Ministry and frightened of failing her O.W.L.'s because she's so busy worrying about everything else."

"One person couldn't feel all that. They'd explode!" Ron exclaimed.

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon!" Hermione replied.

"Humans can feel that, But its a lot more powerful emotions for me." I seconded.

"How can it be different?" asks Harry, looking down at me.

"my mind is more complex, a lot of extra room." I replied.

"Oh I remember, you can think about a lot of things." Harry stated.

"like right now, I wondering how Ron can't possibly understand how a female feels and how Seth can be so stupid and also keeping track of my thirst." I chimed.

"I think we should go pack now, so we can let you hunt Ashlee." Mione suggested.

I leapt up, "I don't have anything to pack, thanks to Alice. I'll think I meet you at wherever it is I'm meeting you."

I turned to my window, it was easier to jump and run down the castle, oh who am I'm kidding. I am trying to avoid Umbridge.

I ran down the castle, and jumped into the black lake, to get to the lands surrounding it. Where there were more animals to feed off of. Once I'd hunted I ran all the way to headquarters. I knocked on the door, and Esme opened it.

"Hi mother" I greeted just loud enough for any passing Muggles to hear. I walked inside.

Looking around the decked all in black house, "I think the Romanians were feel right at home here."

"I thought so too. The first time I've seen it." Esme agreed.

"The others are going to ride on the train, I told them I would meet them here" I explained.

Esme led me to the kitchen, where I seen who I'm guessing is Mrs. Weasley.

"Molly, this is Ashlee, the newest member of the Cullen family." Esme introduced us.

"Please to make you acquittance, Mrs. Weasley." I greeted.

"Pleasure is all mine, but do call me Molly. Since you're not a child." Molly replied.

I noticed that the others aren't here, "Esme, where are the others."

"Alice took them shopping." Esme replied. "Well not everyone, Sirius is here somewhere along with Leah."

The way my mother for all intends and proposes explained that didn't sound right.

"Lita, its about time you shown up." I heard long before I seen Leah.

"Lupa, you should know by now, You're not going to get rid of me." I teased. I looked as the kitchen door opened and in step Leah, something was off about how she looked,

my eyes widen. "You imprinted."
