A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I didn't have much inspiration for this story and I was kinda focusing on my other story more (which means I might not update in a while again). Also I had exams and was really focusing on those! Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 3 – Confessions

Abby POV

We arrived at Jenny's house in record time. Jenny answered the door. "Hey, the rents aren't in today, that means no cookies today Tony." Tony groaned from beside me. She then laughed. "Only joking mum left us some, there are a couple left." Tony then ran into the kitchen, at human speed, we both fell about laughing then.

"Save one for me will ya?" I said as I walked in on Tony scoffing down some cookies. I looked at the plate and then at Tony, and gave him the meanest glare ever. "You are dead meat!" I shouted at him before rushing over to punch him to a bloody pulp. He had been in the process of eating the last cookie, my cookie.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" He was shouting as I was beating him. I stopped, thinking that he may have learnt his lesson. Never eat my food.

I grabbed a glass of water before heading upstairs. Jenny helped Tony crawl up after me.

"What happened to him?" McGee asked as Tony walked in doubled up in pain.

"He ate Abby's cookie!" Jenny answered

"Oh right. That was stupid, I could have told him that. One time Abby had been given this really chocolaty muffin thing and she was saving it up for a 'special moment' as she put it. I ate it on her and she well . . . let's just say that I was in hell for the whole week after." McGee shuddered from thinking about it. I had beaten him up quite severely and then ignored him while he was still in pain, which had taken a whole week to disappear.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence McGeek." Tony said in a slightly higher pitch than normal.

"Suck it up Tony; you're a big man aren't you." I told him, we needed to get on with the practice.

OOO

"Great practice." I told people smiling. I loved singing my emotions and problems away. "Um, I'm going to a school this year, it's a boarding school so I have no idea when I'll be able to contact you. It'll probably be after the first few weeks, so don't get mad at me if I don't contact you for long periods of time." I said slowly, it was a big thing for me.

"That's a good thing isn't it?" Kate said. I nodded in response she then came over to hug me. "Which one are you going to?" She then asked.

I looked over to Tony and he gave me a look telling me to be cautious. "Um, it had a really weird name. It somewhere up in Scotland I think. Some big old castle apparently." I described being vague.

Jenny and Kate looked to each other as McGee started to talk. "That wouldn't be Hogwarts would it?" Both Kate and Jenny gave him murderous looks. "What? If she's going there, then she must know about it."

"You lot know about Hogwarts?" Both me and Tony had open mouths.

"Yeah. We all go there." Jenny told us. "So when you were being home schooled, you were being taught magic!" She said it like she couldn't believe it

"Among other things, yes." I said again being vague about these other things, some of them I didn't even want to think about, ever again. "In that case you lot could help me settle in. YAY! This is going to be so fun!" I said smiling. "Oh yeah, you three don't know yet."

"Know what Abby? You are going to have to tell us now you know." Kate said, I'd gotten her all curious, like the others as well.

"Are you really gonna tell them that?" Tony said warning me; he must think I was going to tell them that I was going to tell them that I was a vampire. That would be a stupid thing to do right now.

"They're gonna find out sooner or later." I said giving the slightest shake of my head, he should notice that. "You know that Tony and me were adopted." They all nodded. "Well I found my real family. Have you heard of the Potter family?"

"Everyone's heard of the Potter family. They're really famous in the wizarding world." McGee commented.

"That's my family." Everyone gasped except Tony, who already knew. "Apparently there was a mix up at the hospital, with me and another baby who died that was going to be put up for adoption." Everyone was still staring at me like goldfish. "Hey stop being goldfish will ya? You're creeping me out."

"But you're the same age as Albus?" Jenny commented.

"That would be because I'm his twin sister." I answered.

"Now that I think about it you do have a resemblance to the family." McGee noted. "When did you find this out?" I stayed silent for a moment. "You've known for a while haven't you?" He carried on.

"Yeah . . . I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I had to get used to it myself first. This is the reason for me falling off the radar recently." I explained some of my recent actions.

"Well I'm not gonna treat you any differently just because of who you are, and I'm sure the others will agree with me." Kate stated as the others nodded.

"Thanks guys!" I said, happy that they had accepted me as me. "I guess I'll see you at school." I said as me and Tony left.

"Can we run before going back?" I asked him. Tony took off before giving an answer; I took that as his answer and ran after him.

OOO

We stood outside the door to my home, waiting for someone to answer. We had lost track of time and it was now quite late. My dad answered the door.

"What time do you think this is?" He asked me.

"Sorry Dad, we lost track of time." I answered. He let us into the hallway.

"I know I can't really tell you what to do Tony but could you please go upstairs and do that very quietly." Dad had never told Tony what to do, Tony was technically an adult. The situation was serious. I then made a move to creep up behind Tony. "Where do you think you're going Abigail Dora Potter?" He asked me sternly. I stopped in my tracks and turned back to him. He just pointed to the kitchen. I guessed that meant I had to go in the kitchen. I did as I was told.

I sat at the edge of the table, dad sat opposite me. From his expression I guessed that I might be in trouble, I had often received that expression from my adoptive 'father'.

"I know you're a Vampire, and a creature of the dark. But you are also my daughter and have a curfew. It is past yours." I was in trouble for being late.

"Sorry, after the practice we went for a run and lost track of time. I forgot that I had a curfew. . ." he put his hand up to stop me from talking.

"I don't want explanations; I just want you to not do that again." He then fell silent for a moment. I didn't know what to say anymore, so I stayed quiet too. "We were both worried about you, I know you can look after yourself, but you're still our daughter and we love you." I said, speaking again. It looked like he used the guilt trip method often, he knew exactly what he was doing, and it was working. "You aren't always safe, as the summer has proved. And there are some things we need to discuss with you, and you need to pack as well." Why did he have to remind me of that incident, and I knew that I had to pack, but that could be done in a minute. "The . . . blood . . . compromise we came up with, I wasn't thinking at the time; you know, overwhelmed with what went on. At school they won't permit you to drink blood from a student. There will be an arrangement made with your meals instead. You will be given a glass of blood with breakfast and Dinner, for lunch you'll have to drink whatever has been supplied to the table. At home you will have your own flask in the fridge you may take from it when you want." I guessed dad was still a little bit uncomfortable with the whole vampire thing.

"Dad I understand. It probably is for the best, I don't like taking a bit of blood from Zeeva every week. It can't be good on her system." I told him, agreeing with the idea.

"Right. That's all good then, I've already told Zeeva that she won't be donating any more blood. Tomorrow you will go on the train and then get the carriages with the others; I'll make sure that they stay with you at all times. You will join your brothers and sister at the Gryffindor table for the feast. After the feast is over I will take you to the Headmistress's office so that you may be sorted into your own house. I will then take you to your dorm room. You will have your own dorm, this is for . . ."

"Safety reasons?" I butted in with. Not pleased with that prospect, but all too happy to have my own room.

"I was going to say because there might not be enough room in the dorm for you, but yes that is another reason. There is a spare room in the teachers' dorms that has been prepared for you, it's fairly small. You can decorate it however you want, we'll go into Hogsmaid at the weekend if you need to buy anything. Now I think that's everything, up you go and pack before going to sleep. We'll be getting up at 8am sharp tomorrow."

"Thanks dad. I mean for helping me get into school, when I'm like this." I said before running upstairs to my room quickly.

I crept into my room silently, trying not to wake Zeeva up. I knew she was already asleep because I could hear her soft snores from outside our door. The heightened hearing did come in handy sometimes. I went to work quickly putting the packages we had bought the day before, in my case. I put the books in first at the end with the wheels. My P.E. kit and casual clothes went in next taking up most of the space left. I then put in my laptop, my bag containing my iPod, make-up, and phone, and food and treats for Midnight.

Lastly I took off the make-up I had on today, got changed into my PJs, and opened the door to Midnights cage. He would fly in through the already open window and into the cage at some point in the early hours of the morning.

I tried to get to sleep as I had a big day ahead of me, but it didn't come easily as this is a normally active part of the night for me, and I was excited about my first day of proper school ever.

I finally drifted to sleep with thoughts of learning magic, fighting bullies, and sneaking off into dark, secret places with Zeeva . . .
