AN: Okay, I don't really have much to say before this chapter. Other than I hope I haven't kept you guys on edge too much. Want to know who burst through the doors? Then keep reading! :) Still Bella POV.
My life would be perfect if I owned Harry Potter and Twilight. But my life's not perfect and I don't own either. Poor me.
My breath caught in my throat. I must be seeing things. But my eyes could never deceive me.
"Edward" I whispered. I could hardly get his name out, I was so shocked.
Edward had just burst through the doors of the Great hall. He was soon followed by the rest of my family, including Jacob. Edward was at the front his eyes frantically looking around the Great Hall until they finally stopped on me.
"Bella" he repeated, but I lot quieter this time. It had gone completely quiet in the hall. For a few moments we simply stared at each other, gold looking at gold. Why was he here? Had he forgiven me? Or had he come to tell me it was over? I realised I wasn't breathing. But I needed to know. I needed to know if he has accepted me or not. But I couldn't find my voice. So, I used my thoughts instead.
I slowly lowered the invisible shield around my brain.
"Do you still love me?" I thought, watching his face. His eyebrows knitted together in confusion, before he smiled his breathtaking smile.
"Of course I do you silly woman" and with that, I let out the breath I had been holding in and ran full speed towards my husband. He ran towards me too, and we crashed into each other at the halfway point. Before I knew it his lips were on mine kissing me, hard. I kissed him back harder. We'd only been separated for a matter of hours but it had seemed like and eternity without him. And as I ran my hands through his bronze hair I promised myself I would never leave him again. My minds registered a few sniggers coming from the crowd, as well as a few "ah's". I ignored them and continued to hungrily kiss my husband. When we finally broke apart, I kept my forehead on his. We were both breathing heavily.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sor-" I started.
"Its fine, its okay" he told me, stroking my cheek.
"No it's not, I hid the biggest secret of my life from you and I should of-" I started.
"You couldn't have told me Bella, I know that. I understand. It's fine" he told me.
"Why are you here?" I asked him, looking into his deep, golden eyes. He stared back.
"For better, for worse, as long as we both shall live" he said, which made me and most of the girl's in the room swoon. I gave him another kiss on the lips, before I looked behind him. My whole family was there; Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Jacob and hiding behind him was…Nessie. I hadn't seen her earlier.
"Nessie" I smiled, and started towards her, but I froze next to Edward. Suddenly anger rushed through me.
"YOU BOUGHT OUR BABY HERE?" I yelled at Edward. He looked a little taken aback,
"We couldn't just leave her, everyone wanted to come, including her!" he defended.
"You could have left her with Charlie!" I told him.
"Molly said it wasn't safe to leave her in Forks!"
"Oh, so you thought she'd be safer here, when the most powerful dark wizard of all time is most probably on his way here to start a war? YOU IDIOT!" I screeched, and shoved Edward as hard as I could. I regretted it the moment I did it, because I completely underestimated my strength. My shove sent Edward flying backwards through a crowd of screaming students and into the left wall of the hall.
"CRAP!" I yelled, and ran straight to my husband's side.
"Oh my god, Edward I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright" He cut me off as he got up, though he sounded a little winded. "But I think I left a mark." We turned to see an Edward-shaped-dent in the wall with cracks either side.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" I told him, and he smiled, before cuddling me to his chest.
"But why did you bring her here?" I asked him.
"Molly Weasley told us we couldn't leave her without any sort of protection, it would be too dangerous. And when we asked Renesmee if she wanted to stay in Forks, she point blank refused. She's so stubborn, just like her mother" He smiled at me.
"I am not stubborn" I mumbled, before I turned back to the rest of my family.
"I can't believe your all here!" I told them, and they all smiled.
"We couldn't let you have all the fun now could we?" Alice told me, before coming over and hugging me.
"I thought you'd all be mad" I confessed.
"Well we were for a bit" Rosalie told me.
"But how could we not forgive you?" Carlisle smiled at me.
"Your family after all" Esme said, before hugging me.
"And only you could throw something like this on us Bella" Jasper said.
"And besides, it's AWSOME!" Emmett yelled, making the humans jump.
"I thought you would think that " I laughed at him.
"We weren't going to let you get away that easily" Jacob told me, as he handed me my now squealing daughter.
"MUMMY!" she screamed as I reached out for her and held her close.
"Oh baby, I missed you so much" I told her, kissing her forehead and smelling her hair.
"We were only apart for a few hours mamma" she told me.
"I know, but it was far too long" I smiled at her, before kissing her cheek. Keeping Renesmee on my hip, I took Edwards hand, and led him towards the now shocked looking group of witches and wizards.
"Harry" I said to my brother. "This is Edward, My husband. Edward, this is my twin brother, Harry." For a moment, Harry simply stared at Edward, until he suddenly seemed to come to life.
"Pleasure to finally meet you" Harry said, shaking Edwards's hand. This still seemed so surreal to me. I never thought these two people in my life would ever meet, yet here they were shaking hands. I turned to my friends.
"Edward, these are my friends, Ron, Hermione and Ginny. And this is my old teacher, Professor McGonagall" Ron and McGonagall acknowledged Edward politely, but Ginny and Hermione simply stared at them, with their mouths slightly open, and a glazed over look. Edward suddenly looked very uncomfortable, and I knew it wasn't just because of the way they were looking at him. I loved them both dearly, but I knew what they were thinking, and Edward is MY man.
"Edward can read people's thoughts" I blurted out. Both of them instantly snapped out of it.
"what!" they said together.
"erm yeah" Edward mumbled. Ginny went so red her face matched her hair, and Hermione looked down and chewed on her bottom lip.
"I'm sorry, but how the bloody hell can he read thoughts?" Ron cried suddenly. I think this was a bit much for him. In fact, I think it was a bit much for everyone.
"Well erm, where not too sure to be honest. We think that your biggest trait that you have as a human is intensified when you transform. So, Edward could read people easily when he was human, so now he can read peoples minds." I figured this was a good time to introduce them to the rest of the family. "But, it doesn't always result in you having a power. Meet Carlisle, my father in law" The rest of the family had joined us now.
"How do you do" Carlisle said to them all.
"Carlisle doesn't have a 'special' power, but he is extremely compassionate. In fact, he's an amazing doctor, and can perform surgery and have complete self control. He's never even tasted human blood!" I told them. They all seemed pretty amazed by the last line.
"Neither have you" Carlisle told me.
"Yeah, but you're a lot older than me. This is Esme, his wife" and Esme smiled shyly. "She's incredibly loving, I mean ridiculously loving. She's wonderful. This is Emmett, he's really strong, though he still hasn't ever beaten me in an arm wrestling match" I smiled.
"Hey! Just you wait a few more months Bella, and then I'll beat ya!" Emmett boomed.
I smiled. "Yeah, we'll see about that Emmett. This is Rosalie, She's really-"
"Pretty" Ron interrupted. Rosalie looked rather smug, and Hermione was glaring at her. Were those two together yet? They were taking their time about it. Ron had gone incredibly red, and I don't think he had meant to say that out loud.
"Yes, she is." I continued. "She's married to Emmett. Now, this is Alice. She can see the future, but not like Professor Trelawney can, she's better than her."
"ANYONE is better than her" Hermione said. McGonagall didn't seem too impressed by that.
"Alice has visions. They're a lot more accurate then Trelawney's, but her visions aren't certain. She see's the path a person is on while there on it. If they change their minds about something, their whole future shifts." I told them all.
"So If I decided to get vanilla ice cream, she would see me buying it. But if I then suddenly changed my mind and wanted mint choc chip, she would see me buying that?" Ron asked. Trust him to use food in his explanation.
"Essentially" Alice explained. "But if you make a snap decision I won't see the consequences of it for a few minuets. Bella Sometimes uses that to her advantage when she's being sneaky" She told them, and I smiled. She continued; "Also, I can only see the futures of vampires and humans, because I am vampire, and I was a human. Nessie's future is blurry, because she's half human, and I can't see Jacobs at all because he's a shape shifter. If someone spent the day with him, her future would go blank too, because he would be blocking her. I didn't know whether or not I would be able to see wizards' futures, but I guess I can, because you guys are still human."
"Well, since Alice already mentioned him, this is my best friend Jacob" I told them all. Ginny's mouth dropped.
"Is this the one you, with him, and then…oh!" Ginny stuttered. Oh how I had missed her.
"Jacob and I are like brother and sister now. Jake isn't a vampire, obviously, he's a shape shifter. He can turn into a wolf." I told them.
"You mean like an animagus?" Harry asked. He hadn't spoken in a while. I think he was the most shocked out of everyone.
"Kind of" I told him. "But Jacob inherited the shape shifting gene, which was then triggered when vampires moved into the area. Also, the wolf he transforms into is a lot bigger than your average wolf, and the other wolves back home can communicate telepathically with each other." I had to sudden realisation that my life is extremely complicated, and I'd been through A LOT. But the others seemed to be following. I also had a VERY big family.
"Okay, so where nearly there. Alice's husband is Jasper, who can feel the emotions of people around him. He can also calm people down, and even make them sleep." Jasper nodded.
"And finally, we have the most special girl of the family. This is my beautiful daughter Renesmee, but everyone calls her Nessie" I smiled down at my daughter. "She has a mixture of both mine and Edward's powers-"
"What's your power?" Harry interrupted. I'd never actually told them.
"Well, I'm kind of a shield" They all looked confused. "I have a sort of shield around my brain, meaning Edward can't read my thoughts. Also I'm immune to some other vampire's powers, and I can stretch my shield to include someone else, meaning they would now be immune. As well as that, I can shrink my shield so its not blocking me and Edward can then read my thoughts. I did it earlier when he first came in. Anyway, Nessie can touch people and make them see what she wants them to see. She could talk to you, or she could show you a memory, or something she wants. I explained what she is earlier" I moved towards Harry, who smiled at me.
"Say hello to your uncle Harry Renesmee." I told my daughter, who was looking at Harry suspiciously. She examined him for a moment before she smiled, causing her dimples to appear. Harry couldn't help but smile back.
"Hello uncle Harry" She said to him, still smiling.
"Oh my god Bella! You have to let me hold your baby!" Hermione squealed, and Ginny looked just as eager. I smiled at them.
"Renesmee, this is Hermione, Ginny and Ron. There really nice, and they want to meet you okay?" I told her, and she nodded. I handed her to Hermione, and her and Ginny started cooing over her, while Ron smiled at her.
"Dear God would you look at the time! These students need to get to bed!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed. "Potter and Cullen, why have returned to us tonight? What is it you need?"
"We need to get into the ch-" But I was suddenly cut off by a searing pain in my collar bone.
"Bella?" Edwards's voice sounded very concerned. I looked at my brother, who was clutching his forehead.
"Harry?"
"Mine hurts too" He said. I noticed the room had got dark, and all of the students were looking terrified. My scar seared, and I fell to the floor yelling with pain, clutching my scar.
And that's when I heard him. That's when we all heard him.
AN: AAAH! Sorry to leave you guys on another kind of cliff-hanger, I was actually planning for this chapter to be longer, but the meet and greet took a little bit longer than I originally thought. But I'm trying to write realistically, and I don't think Harry would pass up the whole 'vampire powers' thing without an explanation. But I think pretty much all of the information chapters are done now, so we should just have action from here on out. But I cant guarantee anything :P And I think we all know who HIM is :) I tend to write on Friday nights, so I usually have the chapter up by Saturday morning. I'll try and keep that up.
Please Review, and don't just add to favourites! It's greatly appreciated!
