As Bella sat down across from Dumbledore she was surprised. She couldn't possibly fathom what topic of importance that he could have possibly to talk to her about. So she responded her surprise, "Professor Dumbledore, what could you possibly have to talk to me about, that would be of the upmost importance?" For Bella knew that if he hasn't spoken to Professor McGonagall about it then it must be really important.

"Bella", Professor Dumbledore sighed, "look I understand you can't believe why I would ask you to come meet with me. However understand that you are the best and probably only qualified witch to do what I am about to ask you to do."

Bella sat perfectly stunned at what Dumbledore just said. She knew that there was more qualified and talented witch and wizard's out there. Yet he just said that she was probably the only qualified one; that her completely stumped. So she just asked, "Professor, could you please explain what you want me to do?"

"Bella", Professor Dumbledore started, "I am to understand that you are an animagus, also that you have just finished Auror training. With your talent and age you would be perfect to go watch a particular family for me. Now this family is special. They are a coven of vampires."

Bella was at first feeling very surprised by, how Dumbledore described her talents. Yet when she heard that he wanted her to go watch a coven of vampires she just about lost it. So she interrupted him right there, "Professor you can't be serious and say that you want me to watch on a coven of vampires. They're supposed to be wild and instinctual. Not to mention they eat people."

Professor Dumbledore wasn't surprised that he was interrupted by Bella, especially considering the type of family he wanted her to watch. Yet he needed to continue, "Bella, these aren't your usual type of vampires. They feel and call themselves vegetarian. They only drink the blood of animals. They don't want to consider themselves monster's as the muggles would. Now the reason why I want these vampires to be watched is because some of them are gifted."

"So Professor Dumbledore", Bella started, "Your telling me that these vampires only drink from animals, to feel better about muggles sensibilities. I can't imagine a vampire that can deny his nature, not alone a coven of them. Also, how gifted are we talking about. What about them is important? Especially if someone is needed to go and spy on them?"

Professor Dumbledore laughed, "Bella, I can see you point. A vampire denying his nature would be very weird indeed. Now, their gifts are partly why they needed to be watched, because I don't want them to be bewitched by another wizard to help Voldemort."

Bella shuddered at the name, yet Dumbledore continued; "Their gifts is what makes them interesting to him. Alice, a pixie looking one, has the ability to see the future. It is based off of people's decisions. Jasper, her mate, is an empath. He can feel and manipulate the emotions of others. Edward, the only single one, has the ability to read the minds of everyone around him, and from a fairly decent distance. Now there are four others besides these three and they would be just as nice to obtain just for the simple fact that they are a vampire."

Bella was stunned at the description Dumbledore just gave her of these particular vampires. She could see why the Dark Lord would want them just on their gifts alone, yet she wondered how she would be able to spy on them, if they would be able to see her future and read her thoughts and emotions. So she asked, "Professor, wouldn't they know about everything once I would go and start this mission?"

He just smiled, "Bella because we live in a different world than the muggles and the vampires live in the same world as them, they wouldn't be able to read you. It is because were protected by all the levels of secrecy. Even though they are a supernatural creature as well. Now, the reason I want them to be watched is that Death Eaters have started to go around and recruiting others to join Voldemort in his efforts to take over. It wouldn't be long till he went after vampires, especially gifted vampires.

Also, because of the separation, only the Volturi knows about witches and wizards. Lord Voldemort was destroyed before he could get the vampire royalty on his side. I don't know how long it will take before he sends emissaries to them. I have already sent an emissary to talk to the giants for myself."

Bella sat their stunned. She couldn't fathom everything that Professor Dumbledore had told her, yet she realized that what he was asking of her was really important. So she decided she would go and watch this family for Dumbledore. "Professor Dumbledore", Bella stated, "I will go and do this for you".

Professor Dumbledore was pleased. Now was the time to help her plan what she was going to be doing for the next few months, or longer. "Bella", Professor Dumbledore started, "We need to begin to plan what you're going to be doing for awhile. I don't know how long this is going to take. Yet for now, what I want you to do is to go to Forks, Washington in America. It is cold and rainy and pretty much always overcast. So the weather isn't really different than what you are used to. Now, I am going to be giving you some textbooks that are for American schools, that way you know what subjects the Cullen's are taking. Also, you're going to have to go either the muggle way or you're going to have fly by broomstick. I am not going to tell you how to watch the Cullen's but I am going to make sure you are prepared for whatever way you want to do it. Also your animal form just might come in handy for this."

Professor Dumbledore got up from his desk to retrieve a picture off of his wall. Bella watched curiously as she was taking in all of this information. She was surprised that she was going to America. Considering she hadn't the desire to travel the world just yet. Professor turned around and brought a small picture frame with him. She watched him as he got ready to speak, "Bella this is a picture of Phineas Black. He was a Headmaster of Hogwarts and will be able to come back to his main portrait if you are to need any help. Do you have any idea of how you are going to proceed?"

Bella was stunned at this question, but decided that apparently Dumbledore had great faith in her abilities. So she thought back to her Auror training and decided that the best thing to first is to get lay of the land, so to speak. "Professor, I believe I am going to start out by watching them. Then decide how best to proceed to watch the Cullen's. Will it be alright if I send an owl if I need any help, or should I just use Phineas for messages?"

Professor Dumbledore sat back down, and responded, "Bella, use Phineas for messages no matter what. He is required to help the current Headmaster. Only for parcels will I use an owl, but we might want to set up a muggle form of sending post. That way no would suspect what you are doing."

Bella thought about his reasoning and agreed. "Sir, when should I leave?"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "As soon as you can. Is there anything else child?"

Bella replied, "No sir, I think when I have a better grasp of what is going to be needed of me, then I will consult you on you think I should move next."

Dumbledore got up, looked towards the texts books levitated them towards the desk and put them and the picture into a sack. "Here Bella, these should help you understand American school just a bit better. Be safe and I await your first message."

Bella smiled and gathered the bag, "Thank you sir, I will be contacting you in a few days." With that she turned and left. On her way back to her house in London.
