I am SO sorry about how long it has taken me to put this piddly little chapter but for all my reviews I am going to try desperately hard in amongst all my homework to get third chapter put up much quicker than this one, once again I am sorry.

Deciding to apparate back to Romania before going back to America and check on my little babies, well the Portuguese Long-Snouts, making sure that they were recovering and rubbing some cream into their wounds, they were surprisingly calm about it, they simply flicked their tails like a cat would.

I made sure the others were okay and gave Norbert - the Norwegian Ridgeback Charlie brought here from Hagrid's care – some dinner. I didn't realise how long I'd been sorting out the other Dragons as Charlie and the boys had already brought back the four female Dragons and put them back where they belong.

"That's a nasty burn you got there Bell's." He commented looking at the large red mark on my upper arm.

"Nah, it's okay, I've had worse. I'm going back to America and won't be back for a while. I have been here two weeks already, Edward's probably going crazy." I said as I eyed his necklace longingly, I prepared myself to apparated back to Washington.

"Wait Bella, here." He took the necklace off and passed it to me, "I know you want it, so keep it. Bye Bella, tell Edward I said to keep his paws off of my girl." He gave me a cheeky wink and kissed my temple. I rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek, donning my new necklace I gave him one last wave before I apparated.

Landing in the backyard of the Cullen's household I changed my appearance back to that of Bella Swan before starting to run toward the door, but I didn't get very far because I was soon surrounded by snarling Vampires.

"Bella." Edward sighed softly and engulfed me in a hug; wrapping my arms round his waist I buried my face in his marble neck. His arm brushed my burn and I hissed. Edward jumped back whilst I gingerly pressed my fingers against the angry red blotch.

"Come inside Bella we should probably take a look at that." Carlisle said softly taking my arm to guide me inside. I wriggled out of his grip and shook my head, entering the house I went for the trunk I kept in the cupboard here should I need it. Taking some burn salve I rubbed it onto the burn grabbed some bandages, after all I really didn't fancy revealing who and what I am. Grabbing a vial of Pain Relief I swallowed it, grimacing slightly at the taste.

"I think an explanation is in order." Jasper said suspiciously.

"Yes I think that best." I answered. "What do you want to know first?"

"Where did you go?" Asked Esme.

"I went to Romania." I said quietly.

"Why?" asked Jasper never relaxing his tense posture.

"To help my friend Charlie Weasley." Edward, who was beside me froze, clearly he didn't like the thought of me being alone with a man he'd never met, overreaction much?

"And who is this boy?" asked Carlisle whilst observing Edward carefully. Turning my head I watched Edward's hard expression harden only further when I answered "A close friend who I have known since I was 7."

"What's he like?" asked Alice excitedly. Extracting my purse from my pocket I pulled out a photo of me and Charlie. "He's cute, for a human that is." Said Rosalie, "Who's that next to him?"

I stopped myself before I said me, quick think of a name, "That's my friend, Minerva. She's Charlie's older brother's ex-girlfriend."

"Where was that taken?" Asked Jasper, as he extracted the photo from his wife's hands, studying it curiously, "Romania." I replied. Alice shrugged and dragged him, Rosalie and Emmett shopping. Carlisle and Esme left the room headed up to their room. Finally it was just me and Edward left in the room.

"Why did you really leave?" Edward asked quietly.

I snapped my head to meet Edward's eyes, I searched them silently, was it that he didn't believe my answer? I had always been really rather good at reading people but Edward's face was an impenetrable mask, "Like I said earlier, I went to visit Charlie in Romania."

"You seemingly disappeared into thin air Bella. That's not possible." He said bemusedly. I cocked an eyebrow at him, he couldn't know about the Wizarding world, not now, not ever. I searched his face again before declaring, "I don't know what you're playing at Edward, I told you I was going to see and friend and you dropped me off at the airport. Is it possible for a Vampire to lose its memory?" Focusing on a compelling spell silently to make him believe what I said.

"I was just joking love." Said Edward softly, kissing my forehead. I let out a silent sigh of relief and relaxed next to Edward to watch T.V.

(One Week Later)

A letter had come from Charlie the other day, he was planning a visit to Forks, and he said he was going to stay in a hotel in Port Angeles, so he was close by. Today I was planning on telling Edward and his family that they would be allowed to meet Charlie in person.

Charlie Swan had already left so I climbed in to my rusted truck and began the drive to the Cullens. Deciding it wouldn't hurt to play a bit of music my favourite muggle song came on: 'Earthquake' by Labrinth.

By time the song had finished I had arrived at the large white house that belonged to the Cullens. Turning the engine off I climbed out and all but skipped to the door where Edward was waiting for me. He kissed me gently and I smiled.

"What's got you in such a good mood love?" he questioned.

"I got a letter from Charlie. He's coming to visit; he will be staying in Port Angeles in the hotel. He's going to be here for a month." I squealed out excitedly. I noted sadly that Edward's face dropped and darkened dramatically at the mention of my best friend. I was slightly hurt that he didn't want to meet Charlie. "What is it?" I asked crestfallen.

Edward seemed to snap out of his brooding and immediately plastered a fake smile on his face, "Nothing love, just Emmett again." I raised my eyebrow knowing he was lying but decided to say nothing. "Do you want to go to our meadow?" he said putting a curios amount of emphasis on the word 'our'. Climbing onto his back, Edward took off through the forest at amazing speed but it did nothing to compare with the rush I got from riding on my Firebolt or working with the Dragons. Within a minute we were at the meadow, I slipped from his back and landed on the ground with a barely perceptible thud.

The Meadow was a beautiful place it had to be said; lush green grass coated a rounded area surrounded by thick trees in varying shades of green, many flowers in a mixture of colours bloomed in the grass and when I asked Edward what they were he knew all except 3 of which I recognised to be, Devil's Snare growing close to the trees, the vines winding around the trunk and throughout the branches. Dittany which is used in the potion for healing and preventing scarring, it grew throughout the meadow in little clusters of pale blue flowers that had the same structure as muggle buttercups. Felix used in Felix Felicis was also growing in the meadow, it was a curious pink colour that gave off no smell, it also grew in clusters close to the Dittany flowers.

When Edward had left the year before I was devastated and determined to find the meadow again when I did, I took some Felix and Dittany to plant in one of the three magic green-houses I own in America. Not only do I grow Felix and Dittany but I also grow; Wolfsbane, Gillyweed, Puffapod, Mandrakes, Flitter Bloom, Fanged Geranium – I have lost count how many times I've been bitten- Leaping Toad Stall and some wand wood trees, so Oak, Elm, Maple and Willow were the few I grow. I grew and harvested from around the world many potions ingredients and since then I supplied the boys in Romania with various balms, antiseptics, nutrition supplements and healing potions both for themselves and for the dragons.

Once me and Alice had rescued Edward…

"Bella? Bella!" I heard voice float near me. Shaking my head clear I looked next to me to see Edward, "Are you alright love? You blanked out a couple of minutes there."

"I'm fine Edward. Just daydreaming." Edward was extremely overprotective sometimes.

"Me and you need to discuss some things for the wedding."

Once again sorry and I apologise to about how short this is.
