A New Life

Chapter 5

A couple days later

(Carlisle POV)

Elizabeth had been spending time with more and more people. Each day another person was invited up to the house to see how Elizabeth would take it. Hermione came up on her own first, then Hermione and Luna, then Hermione, Luna, and George, Then Hermione, Luna, George, and Dean. Then Hermione, Luna, George, Dean, Draco. Then at last, Hermione, Luna, George, Dean, Draco and Seamus. Elizabeth seemed to be taking it all in her stride, and as long as she promised to hunt regularly, the Cullen's felt it was okay for her to go back to school.

She stayed at both at our house and the Black estate, it gave her a break from the same people all the time, and let her see everyone.

Alice, Edward, and Luna had been spend more time together, experimenting with their bond. It was interesting how well the wizards were fitting in. Elizabeth had been laughing about what we all presume to be school days before the war. It was nice to see her as a real part of the family. She usually took her motorbike to school and met up with the others there.

I was rather surprised to find that she let Alice and Rosalie into her wardrobe and rearrange it so that she wouldn't wear the 'wrong kind of thing'. Although I was worried about Elizabeth and Jasper. Elizabeth had been disappearing a lot and I fear she may be doing something he doesn't know about. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I worry that she has got herself in trouble…

(Elizabeth's POV)

I smiled as I got back from my meeting with Severus. It was a couple of months till Christmas now, so I started try and get Severus to have ago at making a potion to let my fellow vampires ladies to get pregnant. It would be an amazing Christmas present and it would show how much I appreciate all that they have done for me.

We had started about a week ago, and little progress had been done. We had managed to discover what chromosome it was within the vampire DNA that is different from mine that means that they can't mother children. There was loads of science stuff and potions stuff that was involved and went straight over my head.

I went into the kitchen to see Hermione pottering around, making dinner.

"Hey" I said happily, sitting down at the kitchen table, it wasn't that different from the one at Grimald Place.

"Hiya! How did your meeting with Snape go?" She asked, frying some bacon in a pan.

"Yeah, it went well. He's made some progress. He did explain it to me, but it was a mixture of Muggle science and Potions science, so naturally it went in one ear and out the other." I said, smiling lightly. I had noticed that we had been laughing more about old times recently. It was nice. It felt like I hadn't had a good laugh and year- then again, I probably hadn't.

"That's good. I might go over later and see if I can help him with his research." She said, sliding the bacon into a sandwich. "So got any other ideas about what you are going to gift the Cullen's with?" She asked, smirking mischievously with at me.

"You have been spending wayy to much time with George." I said, laughing at her face. It was frozen with an expression in between surprise and horror. "Nah, I'm planning on taking them to Diagon Ally or something at the weekend. I've only waited this long because we weren't sure if I was safe to be around you mortals."

"That would be cool. Mind if I join? I'd like to have a look in Flourish and Blotts- see if they have anything good in." She asked, eating her bacon and lettuce sandwich.

"Yeah, I don't see why not. We could invite the others as well. I just hope I don't get swamped again." I said, rolling my eyes. "Anyway, I'm going to go up to the Cullen's for a while. I'll see you are school tomorrow, okay?" I asked, walking away to go get my bike from the garage.

"Sure. I'll tell the others that you said bye." She said, giving me a small smile.

"Hey guys! I have a surprise for you all!" I said, practically jumping up and down as soon as I got inside. I skipped into the living room, finding all the vampires joined in the living room. I'm still not use to the speed.

"What is it, Darlin'?" Jasper asked, coming towards me and kissing me lightly before putting an arm around me.

"I am taking all of you to Diagon Ally at the weekend! I've cleared it with the Minister of Magic and you all have clearance! You even get to go into the ministry, and see Hogwarts! You'll love it there. I can show you the common rooms and I can introduce you to all the ghosts and painting! Peeves will love having new people to annoy and you can see the magic of the great hall with the ceiling and stuffs!" I said happily as they all started thanking me and in some cases squealing. I really did love these people. "Carlisle, you will love Hogwart's! It's bigger and fuller than mine! Although, you might want to be careful in the restricted section, they might bite." I said, laughing at the irony of it.

"Will we be accepted there by your people? I mean, you guys seemed to know what we are... Are wizards all as accepting as you?" Edward asked nervously.

"If they do recognise you for what you are, there shouldn't be that many people who have a problem with it, and even if they do no one will mention it if your with me unless they have the balls to get in a fight with me which isn't very likely. If anyone does say or do anything against you, they'll have to face me." I said, my battle face slowly slipping into place. "That reminds me, I need to go to Madam Malkin's to get a new battle suit." I said off hand, my smiley and happy face coming back into play.

"Oh and don't worry, The three broomsticks serve blood butterbeer and firewhisky as well as tea." I said, grinning madly. I had missed butterbeer so much!

"What the hell is butterbeer? And firewhisky?"

A/N: It has been a long day. I had to stay behind at school for an hour to do sound and lighting for a play, plus I have massive blisters on my feet from my New Rocks. I think you'll only get one chapter tonight, but you might be lucky
