AN: Heya! Okay, this chapter is going to be less of an action chapter, because it's a bridge between two BIG action chapters. I've tried to mix things up a little here, and you'll be getting a peek into Bella's past. Lets just say, Edward wasn't her first EVER crush. He he! Enjoy and REVIEW!

I do not own Harry Potter or Twilight. Now please excuse me while I go cry in the corner.

"FRED! GEORGE!" I squealed, and jumped right into the arms of the pair of gingers.

"Whoa Bella!" Fred yelped.

"You must be careful" George reminded me.

"We don't want you to kill us with your freakish vampire strength" they said in unison.

"Sorry" I laughed, before taking a step back and looking at them. They'd changed so much, and yet they were still exactly the same. They both needed a shave, and their hair was out grown, and it reminded me of how Jacob looked when he needed a hair cut. They had both grown taller, Fred just a tad more than George, and they both had a lot more muscle, which you would expect on a pair of 21 year old men. Wow, they were 21? Well, I was still technically 18, but I should have been 19, and that sounded old to me. It seems whilst I had been looking a Fred and George, they had been looking at me.

"Wow Bella!" They said together.

"You haven't changed at all" Fred said sarcastically.

"Yeah not a bit" George joked. They then took in turns to taunt me with my former image.

"you're still the same old,"

"clumsy, un-coordinated,"

"shy, nosey,"

"cant do a cart-wheel let alone a flip,"

"to save her life, kind of pretty-"

"KIND of pretty?" I interrupted, though I had been enjoying it before that.

"Where not saying you weren't pretty before Bella, cause you were" George explained.

"But in comparison to the Goddess you are now, you were only kind of pretty before" Fred finished. I tipped my head back and laughed.

"Oh boys stop it; I'm a married woman now!" I laughed, and though they both laughed along with me, I couldn't help but notice the ghost of disappointment behind Fred's eyes. I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Sure, I had history with Fred. It was never anything serious, I mean, the twins had always made me laugh, but, I grew close the Fred when he helped me through forth year, when I had to watch in horror as my brother fought dragons, mermaids and mazes. I didn't think much of it, until Fred asked me to the Yule ball, and I accepted, much to Ron's dismay. But I was never in love with Fred, our relationship never progressed passed a kiss on the cheek, and we were never official. I mean sure, I had a crush on him for a while, but it would have never of worked out, what with the 2 year age difference, me fighting Voldemort and him going off to make his joke shop. I always thought of the twins as my brothers, and I had a special kind of bond with them, especially Fred. But I hadn't seen Fred since the day I left to go to Forks.

The day Fred told me he regretted that nothing ever happened between us. But I told him I only thought of him as a brother, and left for Forks. And by the time I met Edward, I'd all but forgot his confession.

"Cant believe your married" Fred muttered.

"and a mummy!" George said- completely oblivious to the awkward situation. Harry- who I had completely forgotten about- interrupted us.

"Speaking of which, you didn't see a wolf come by here with a baby and your sister on it?" Harry asked. I suddenly snapped.

"Crap! I forgot, did they get out? Did they?" I asked Fred and George frantically.

"Yeah they did, we sent them to the great hall" replied Fred.

"They've put a shielding charm around the room, no one can get in unless there on our side. There keeping the injured and de-" George suddenly stopped. He looked sullen. My stomach dropped.

"How many?" I asked quietly.

"It's hard to say, but it's rising." Fred told me. For a moment, we took it in, before my scar seared.

"AH!" I screamed, falling to the ground, clutching my shoulder. Harry was next to me, clutching his forehead.

"oh, Voldy's mad" the twins said together.

"Harry! Bella! What do you see? What's wrong?" Hermione asked.

"I can't see anything! But he's angry- VERY angry" I replied, before the scar seared and I screamed louder.

"Guys! You need to get into his mind, find out where he is. If we find him, we will find the snake!" Ron told us. I looked at Harry for a moment, and when he nodded, I let Voldemort in. Images flashed through my mind, and if I still could, I'd be in a cold sweat. Voldemort's acid voice haunted my mind.

"They will come to me. SHE will come to me. I will find her! And I will kill him! Bring me Severus, Lucias!"

I couldn't take any more, and I blocked him out.

"He's in the boathouse down by the lake- he wants Snape" Harry told everyone quickly.

"Let's get down there now!" Hermione instructed, and we all ran. Fred and George followed us, and Fred came up next to me.

"It really is good to see you Bella, I've missed you." Fred told me with a smile. I knew what he was saying was genuine, and it was my brother Fred rather than awkward Fred that was talking.

"I missed you too Fred, you were always there for me when things got tough, and I had to cope with things without you while I was away. I almost came back here last year" I told him. He looked surprised.

"Oh? Why?" he asked, surprised.

"Edward broke up with me and left me for my own safety. We both agree that this was the worst decision ever, because we both were so broken by the absence of each other. I know it sounds really bad, and at the time it was; I mean, we both nearly died because of it. I seriously considered coming back here to try and help me forget him, and be back with my friends, but I knew it wouldn't work. Nothing would make me forget him, and besides, it wasn't safe for me here. But he came back, and there was no need for me to return" I told him. Fred's face fell slightly. I knew what he was thinking- he wished my reason for wanting to come home was him. I felt awful at the fact that I never loved him and will never love him more than a brother. It's like Jacob all over again, but less intense. Whilst running, I remembered how our special bond was formed.

~FLASH BACK~

I sat on the courtyard steps, crying my eyes out. I was in my forth year of Hogwarts, and Harry's name had just come out of the Goblet of fire for the Triwizard tournament. I begged Harry not to get up in the Great Hall and I begged Dumbledore not to force him to enter, but it was no use- Harry was in. End of. And in my opinion, that meant Harry was in terrible danger. Hermione had tried to comfort me, but she failed- she didn't have any siblings so she couldn't relate. Ginny tried to help too, but I just wanted to be left alone. I was nearly all cried out, and the tears only numbed my worry, like medicine. Suddenly, I felt something fluffy at my foot. I looked down, and saw a small pink ball of fluff with a tiny face looking at me. Confused, I picked it up; it was adorable!

"Cheer up Bella; it's not the end of the world." I heard a familiar voice say, and Fred Weasley came and sat next to me. I always knew how to tell the twins apart, though I don't really know how. I wiped my face, before saying;

"What is it?" holding up the creature in the hands.

"A Pygmy Puff. Me and George created it for our future joke shop. Mums not impressed at all." He said, and I laughed. Fred always knew how to cheer me up.

"It's not that bad Bella, Harry's a big boy; he knows how to take care of himself"

"I know, but people have died in the tournament before! And the odds always seem to be stacked against me and Harry! You just don't understand!" I muttered.

"I do understand Bella. No, seriously I do. When I was in fifth year, I injured myself, and I wasn't allowed to play in a Gryffindor vs. Slytherin quidditch match. So I had to watch George fend off all of the bludgers single handily. Though I've seen him do it many times before, I've always been there with him, and I felt like he was so unprotected without me. It was the most agonising thing I've ever watched, and George was completely fine! Now tell me I don't understand?" He said, raising his eye brows. He was right- he could relate, because he too was a twin.

"I know its going to be hard for you the next couple of months Bella, but if you need anyone to talk to, give me a shout" He smiled before getting up.

"Don't you want this back?" I said, holding up the Pygmy Puff. Fred smiled.

"Keep it; It'll keep you company" He said, before walking back inside. I looked at the little face of my Pygmy Puff, and suddenly, things didn't seem so bad anymore.

As the year progressed, I grew closer and closer to the twins, and more specifically; Fred. I hardly saw Harry much anymore, because he was always off training. Ron was being an idiot and not talking to me because I was siding with Harry, and Hermione was having her own problems with Viktor Krum; though only Ginny and I knew about that. So Ginny and the twins were the people who kept me sane through out those long winter months. Fred continued to give me little gifts, and I didn't think anything of it, until the day when Hermione accused me of having a crush. I swore I only thought of Fred as a friend, but deep down I knew there was a small part of me that thought differently. I didn't think Fred would ever feel the same way about me anyway, so you could imagine my shock when he asked me to the Yule ball- specifically as friends. I accepted straight away, though I didn't tell anyone at first. When I did eventually reveal it to someone, I told Hermione, and she was happy for me, much like I was happy for her and Krum. I accidently let slip I was going with him to Ron and Harry, and Ron wasn't happy with me, as he felt it would be 'too awkward'. Harry was just getting more and more worked up that he didn't have a date yet.

The Yule Ball was a great success, but it also left me very confused with myself. I wore an ice blue dress, fitted at the top with some jewels, and it went slightly puffy at the bottom. I kept my hair simple- loose curls down my back. Fred told me I looked stunning, and I felt wonderful. The night flew by, and when it came to saying goodnight, Fred looked nervous.

"What's wrong Fred?" I asked. We were standing in the Gryffindor common room.

"I just need to say this Bella; over the last few months, we've become much closer, and I really like you, and I think, Id like to be more than friends. I just don't want to jeopardise our friendship" My breathing hitched.

Did he just tell me he liked me? I didn't know what to say.

"Look, you don't have to answer now, just tell me when you're ready" He told me, before leaning forward, and kissing me on the cheek. I went straight up to my dormitory, and collapsed on my bed.

Maybe something would have happened with Fred if I had let it, but I never really gave him an answer to his question. I was so confused with my feelings towards him, and I simply didn't know what to tell him. Though I did try to avoid him the next few months, it wasn't hard, because he was sitting his N.E.W.T.S. Also things with the tournament and Harry became my focus every single day, because Harry needed training for the last task. The first time I spoke to Fred since the ball was the day when Harry went into the maze. The day Voldemort came back. I was waiting for Harry to come out, sitting in the stands in front of the maze. I was nervous.

I was shaking.

I do that when I'm very worried. Something stilled my shaking hands, and I looked down to see another set of hands on top of mine. I looked up at Fred, and he smiled at me.

"He'll be okay Bella" He murmured. But I knew something wasn't quite right. I didn't know what it was, a gut feeling or a twin instinct, but I knew something was wrong.

"Something's wrong Fred, I can feel it" I said looking straight at him. Fred paused for a moment, before nodding. He knew how I could tell.

"Let's go for a walk Bella" He said. We walked down the steps, and we were just in front of the stands when the pain hit me. I fell to the floor screaming in agony. It felt like white hot knives were piecing me all over my body. For some unknown reason, I knew it was the cruciatous curse. Some where in the distance I could hear people calling my name; Fred, Hermione, Dumbledore. But their voices were lost in my pain. And suddenly I felt like I was flying; the pain disappeared, and I landed on something; hard. I heard a muffled noise coming from behind me, and I turned to see Harry gagged and tied to a gravestone.

"Harry?" I whispered, before looking on what I had landed on.

It was a dead Cedric Diggory. And I started screaming.

Fred never asked me for my answer. As the years passed, we remained close, but we never spoke of what happened the night of the ball. We just went back to the relationship we had before. True, there were moments when I could feel him looking at me in a certain way, but I tried to ignore them. I didn't like him that way anymore. The last time I spoke to him, was at Kings cross station, the day I went to Forks. I was catching a train to Heathrow where I was meeting my adoptive mother Renee and flying to America, where we would meet Charlie. Not very many people knew I was doing this; only Harry, Ron, Hermione, Mrs Weasley, Fred, George and a few members of the order. After today, everyone else would think that I was dead.

It was emotional, especially when I had to say goodbye to Harry. There were tears, and promises to write every week, as well as the promise that I would bring back the horcrux. I was just about to leave when Fred pulled me to one side.

"I'm going to miss you Bella." He murmured.

"And I'll miss you too Fred, you know that" I said, trying not to cry again.

"I just wish I could turn back time. I wish something could have happened between us" He said strongly, taking my hands. I started crying.

"I'm sorry Fred, but nothing ever would have happened." I took my hand from his. "I don't like you in that way. I think this break will be good for you; for you to find someone else. Someone who will love you back."

"Yeah maybe" He smiles, before giving a bag full of his and Georges joke shop inventions. "But I'll always be waiting for you Bella. If you decide differently, I'll be here" and with that he turned and walked away

~~END OF FLASHBACK'S~~

We reached the great hall, dodging spells and taking a few death eaters down in the process. I could see Renesmee in the middle of all of the casualties, with Ginny and Jacob in wolf form. Jacob howled when he saw me.

"MUMMY!" Nessie yelled, before running into my arms.

"DON'T EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!" Ginny screamed, before running up to Harry and kissing him so hard that he nearly fell over.

"We don't have much time, I just had to see you were safe. Jacob, get back out there and protect the family, Ginny will look after Renesmee. Were going up there in a minuet too, and where going to find the last Horcrux. Everyone else, be safe okay?" I said to everyone. Fred laughed.

"Where invincible Bella!" Before turning on his heel and running out of the hall, quickly followed by George and Jacob.

Was it weird that Fred's last comment left me feeling very cold?

AN: So what do you think of Bella's relationship with Fred? I loved writing this, and the reason I made it so that they didn't ever really get together is because I HATE the idea of Bella being with anyone other than Edward. Sorry Frella fans! Haha someone start shipping that NOW! :) So the next chapter should be up soon, and it will closely follow the HP story line. I was thinking on doing another Edward POV soon? What do you guys think?

PLEASE PLEASE ! REVIEW!
