BPOV
I hunted way to long. But I couldn't help myself. I had tried to block all distractions from my mind and focus solely on hunting, and I must have blocked them out too much, because I soon realised I had been hunting for over an hour. Still, I wasn't remotely thirsty anymore, meaning I was at my strongest for the fight. I immerged from the forest and ran across the clearing at in-human speed towards Hogsmeade. I had heard the sirens go off earlier, so I knew I had to be carful. Picked up a rock and threw it as hard as I could over the village. It landed on the other side of the village, setting off the sirens.
"POTTER!" I heard someone scream, and for a moment I thought I had been spotted. However, I could hear them running away from me, towards where I had thrown the rock. I quickly threw another one, setting off the sirens again. I knew I only had seconds, so I picked up my brothers scent and followed it as quickly as I could. They had obviously been running away, because his scent kept going back on itself. I followed his scent down an alley, when his scent just vanished. I panicked. Had it been washed away? Had he had to apparate to get away? I suddenly sensed someone behind me. I turned, and to my horror, I saw a man at the end of the alley, with his wand pointed straight at me. He recognised me at once, because his lips curved into a smile.
"Bella Potter" he sneered. I had to think fast. I ran towards the man, and as I did, grabbed a loose brick from the wall. I had just enough time to see the man's face turn from a smile to a look of terror before I hit him over the head with the brick. He fell to the floor unconscious. I picked him up and threw his body into the street, so he would be found by someone there and not in my hiding place. I then turned into the alley again. How had Harry's scent simply disappeared? My question was answered when a door opened on the left wall of the valley next to where his scent had ended.
"In here Potter!" and Irish person said. I quickly ran inside and thought I was seeing things. At first I thought it was Dumbledore, but I soon realised it was his brother, Aberforth. I didn't really have time to talk to him. He pointed at a hole in the wall, which I presumed was usually hidden by a portrait of some kind.
"Your brother and his friends went through there. There waiting for you in the castle" he told me. He didn't seem terribly kind, but rather in a bad mood.
"But-" I started.
"I've already got a message to the Order. They're going to send someone to Forkes." He interrupted me. How did he know I was going to say that? He didn't seem terribly patient with me.
"Hurry up Miss Potter!" He snapped at me when I didn't move. How was he related to Dumbledore?
"It's Mrs Cullen now, If you don't mind" I told him, before running full speed through the portrait hole. The tunnel must have been very long, because it took me a few minuets to get to the end at vampire speed. I slowed down when I saw a light. I didn't know where this tunnel came out. For all I knew, I could walk straight into Snape's office.
Snape. I nearly growled just thinking about him. I couldn't wait to see his face when he saw I wasn't dead. That was going to be fun. I stopped at the end of the tunnel and stood behind what I guessed was a portrait blocking the other end. I listened very carefully. I couldn't hear any movement on the other side. Still, I slowly pushed open the portrait door. It took me a moment to realise where I was. But then the memories of Dumbledore's army came flooding back, and I knew where I was. I was in the room on requirement. I guessed that some students must have been hiding out here, because the floor was covered in mattresses and bedding. The room was completely empty. I panicked for a moment. Where could everyone be? And why was Harry with them? But I quickly pulled myself together.
I closed my eyes, and used my enhanced vampire hearing to listen for things throughout the castle. It wasn't long before I could hear Snape's droning voice.
"Harry Potter has been sited in Hogsmeade" Immediately followed by the whispers of children. My eyes flew open. They were in the Great Hall. Well, it was a good place to make my entrance. I quickly walked- at human speed- towards the Great Hall. It was really strange being in Hogwarts again. It wasn't the same as the place I remembered. The joy seemed to have been sucked right out of it. But it still felt like home.
Home.
The hole in my chest suddenly re-appeared. My thoughts drifted towards Forkes. Someone would be there by now. I wonder who they sent? And how were they all reacting? How was Edward reacting? I just hoped they hadn't woken Nessie. My chest throbbed.
My baby. How was she? How would she react to me abandoning her? This was one of the few times I wish I was still human. I wanted to cry again. But I couldn't, nature was forcing me to keep it all locked away inside of me. Perhaps it was for the best. I didn't want my enemies to think of me as vulnerable. And besides, how bad would it look if I revealed myself to Snape with blood shot eyes and a tear stained face? No, it was good I couldn't cry. I stopped walking for a moment to tune my hearing back to the Great Hall. Harry had revealed himself to Snape, just as I presumed he would. They were arguing over something, but I couldn't make out what. And then, just as I rounded the corner of the last corridor, I realised what they were talking about.
"You're lying Potter. Everyone knows she's dead!" I heard Snape yell. Harry must have told him about me. By the sounds of it, he wasn't taking it too well. My pace quickened.
"Why would I lie? Bella is alive and well. She's changed a bit since the last time you saw her. Let's just say, she's married, has a baby, and erm, oh, she's no longer human" I heard Harry say, and I smiled. I was halfway down the hall now.
"Do not lie to me Potter!" And I heard the sound of wood being drawn against fabric. Snape was getting his wand out.
"Oh no he didn't" I thought, running full speed towards the doors.
"SNAPE" I screamed, just as I threw the doors open making them bang against the walls. Everyone in the Great hall jumped and turned to look at me.
"No one points their wand at my brother" I snarled at Snape, and I had the pleasure of watching the blood drain from his face.
"Miss Potter" He said disbelievingly. Oh, this was going to be fun.
"Actually, It's Mrs Cullen now" I smiled at him. The students in the hall had backed away to the sides, and I could hear them all gasping and whispering.
"Told you" Harry said smugly. Snape's face turned into anger as he pointed his wand back at Harry. I was in front of Harry with my wand pointing at Snape in half a second. Everyone gasped, and Snape's eyes went wide.
"I really wouldn't do that if I were you Snape" I growled at him.
"The Dark Lord will be very interested to know you're still alive Bella" Snape sneered at me.
"Well you can tell Tom, thanks but I'm already taken" I sneered, holding up my left hand and showing him my ring.
"He knew you weren't dead Bella. He knew you were just being a coward, leaving your brother alone so you could be safe." Snape said, smiling wickedly. That got me the most angry I had been in a very long time.
"For your information, I didn't want to leave, I was forced to. I've had to leave my home to come here tonight Snape. I've had to leave my family, my husband AND my baby. So if I was you, I really wouldn't be pissing off and already PRETTY PISSED VAMPIRE!" I screamed, and lunged for him, knocking him on the ground. I heard a few girls in the crowd scream, and Harry backed away, for even he could see how dangerous I was. Snape got to his feet, before pointing his wand at me.
"Stupefy!" he screamed, but even as I saw the red light coming towards me I did nothing. The red light passed through me, and I was not effected. I began to laugh.
"Seeing as I'm a vampire and I don't sleep, I don't think a spell that knocks people out is going to effect me." Murmurs began when I said vampire. "Being and ex defence against the dark arts teacher, you of all people should know that Snape. Perhaps that reflects how rubbish you are at teaching" I got a few laughs at that.
"So you're a vampire now?" sneered Snape. "You're a crime against nature. A monster to this world"
"Unlike you Snape I actually value human life. Me and my family don't drink human blood. Animals only" I told him. I paused and looked around the hall.
"What have you done to this place Snape?" And I did my most stupid thing ever. I turned my back on him.
"Incendio" I heard him scream. Fire I thought. Now that would affect me. I turned to see a wall of flames coming towards me.
"Aguamenti!" I screamed for my life. A jet of water sprang from the end of my wand and demolished the wall of fire, socking Snape in the process. There was just enough of a pause for me to look him straight in the eyes, before he took flight and crashed out of the window.
"COWARD!" I screamed, knowing he would hear me.
I jumped when the crowd of children suddenly started cheering and screaming. Harry ran over to me and hugged me.
"That was brilliant!" he told me, and I couldn't help but smile. Ron and Hermione were smiling at me too.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time" I told them.
"Bella!" I heard someone squeal from behind me, and turned just in time to see Ginny run into me. She was crying.
"I thought, I thought you were, you were…" she stuttered, with tears in her eyes.
"You couldn't have got rid of me that easily!" I laughed, before hugging her once more. She held on tight.
"Excuse me, excuse me!" I heard a Scottish voice coming from behind me. I turned to see Professor McGonagall approaching me.
"Well I don't believe it" she said, looking at me. "Miss Potter! You're not dead at all! My goodness you've changed"
"Mrs Cullen actually" It was getting annoying the amount of people I had to correct.
"And you're married! And is it true what you say about a baby?" McGonagall asked me. I nodded in response.
"But, surely, the vampires we know about can't reproduce" she told me.
"I had Renesmee when I was human. She's half human, half vampire. I nearly died during the pregnancy and the birth. Edward, my husband, saved me by transforming me. Renesmee grows really quickly. I had her in only a few months. She's only nine months but she looks around three. Once she's fully grown she'll freeze and become immortal" I explained. Everyone seemed fascinated. The hole in my chest threatened to re-appear but I wouldn't let it. But then I suddenly remembered something.
"Crap!" I cried.
"What is it Bella?" Harry asked quickly.
"I used my wand. He knows I'm alive. He knows I'm here!" I said quickly. "He's going to come here!"
"He won't come straight away Bella" Hermione reassured me. "He needs to think of a plan and get the death eaters together. Besides, Snape would have told him you're alive anyway." I felt a bit better. Harry turned to Professor McGonagall.
"Professor, we need-" But he was unable to finish his sentence.
"BELLA!"
As if someone was replaying what I did earlier, the doors of the great hall flew open just as someone yelled my name. I turned to see who it was, and I nearly fainted at what I saw. And that's a pretty hard thing for a vampire to do.
AN: Okay! I LOVED writing this chapter! Haha Bella kicked Snape's butt! :) I think we all know who came through the doors, but tell me who you think it is anyway :P
