Sunrise, Sunset.

Chapter 2

When Hermione arrived in Seattle, Washington, she went through customs. Then she walked towards the outer doors. The doors that would let her out into the world, of course before she could enter "America" she needed to find her Uncle. She thought for sure that he would be somewhere around here.

After twirling around for a minute or two, minutes that felt more like hours as she looked for her Uncle. It was then in the third or fourth hour; minute rather, that she spotted him. He was holding two signs, 'Bella Swan' and 'Hermione Granger'.

She walked towards him reaching him at the same time as her cousin. The reunion was a happy one. Neither Bella nor Hermione recognized each other. It had been a while since they had seen each other. Bella had seen her aunt and uncle about a year ago when they visited her and her mother in Arizona; but Hermione was away at school.

Bella was not entirely sure why Hermione was here in Washington; but she knew that something had happened. She had overheard her mother talking to Charlie about it. Hermione had forgotten about Magic, was what her mother had told her. 'Don't mention it to her,' Her mother said, 'It's best to forget about it if you can. Unless she remembers something. Then you can talk to her about it, but her doctors don't think that she'll come back from this. It's meant to be permanent, so try not to say anything, OK?'

Bella had answered in the affirmative, what could have possibly happened to her cousin that she would forget the people she loved the most? Bella was hoping that Charlie would be able to fill her in. However, her hopes were dashed when she went to find Charlie after getting off the plane.

"Uncle Charlie?" a girl on the other side of Charlie said. They both looked at her, unbelieving in what they saw. There stood a girl, a head shorter than Bella, long curly brown hair the color of Honey, smooth and bouncy, her skin slightly tanner than her own. She was pretty, very pretty.

"Hermione Granger," Charlie said, pulling the girl into a hug, "I've missed you; we've missed you."

"I've missed you too Uncle Charlie," Hermione replied, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. Pulling way, they turned to look over at Bella. "Bella?" Hermione asked.

"That's me," Bella said waving slightly. Before she knew it, she was being pulled into a crushing hug.

"I've missed you too Bella," Hermione said with a sad smile, "I'm sorry to visit like this, I hope my staying won't complicate things."

"Of course not," Charlie said, "Your welcome to stay as long as you want, even longer if you want."

"Would forever be too long?" Hermione asked with a smile.

"Forever wouldn't be long enough," Charlie said happily, "Eternity sounds better."

"That it does Uncle Charlie," Hermione said grinning. She hugged her uncle and Bella again for good measure, it really had been too long. Hermione noticed, the change in her cousin from when she saw her last. She grew at least a foot, her hair was a bit longer, still silky straight. She had classic pale skin that any princess would kill for, red lips, brown eyes with flecks of gold and green. She really was very pretty, much prettier that Hermione ever thought she herself could be.

On the way out, they were both so busy thinking about the beauty of their cousin that they did not notice the looks they were getting from the male population. Charlie scowled at the boys and young men staring at them, smiling their way, and trying to capture they're attention. His girls were far too young to be interested in boys. ***

The drive home was quiet, they talked a little about starting school on Monday. Charlie wanted to take them to La Push and introduce them to his best friend Billy and his son. He was sure that they would get along famously. Hermione listened intently, while Bella tuned him out, she was still thinking about Hermione's reason behind being in Washington.

After arriving back at Charlie's home, he gave them the tour, and then showed them to their rooms. They were right next door to one another, and Charlie was down the hall. He left the girls to get settled in, claiming that he was going into town to get a pizza for dinner.

After the girls unpacked, and were semi-settled, Bella collapsed onto Hermione's bed, "My Mother just remarried, she asked me to come and finish my last year here," Bella said, "She'd like me to get to know Ch- Dad again."

"You don't have to call him Dad around me if you don't want," Hermione said with a slight smile, "But I think he'd like to hear you call him Dad every now and then. You never know when something might happen and take the chance away from you."

"Can I ask you a question without sounding like a total Bitch?" Bella asked sadly.

"Of course," Hermione said smiling at her cousin.

"What happened to make you come here?" Bella asked, "Wasn't there anywhere else to go?"

"No," Hermione said shaking her head, "Just uncle Charlie. I remember you sending me a letter a few months ago, before my parents... you said that your mom was seeing someone, and that they wanted to move. I do not know Charlie was the first person to pop into my head. Plus, with Uncle Charlie being Mom's brother, I thought it would be better. I don't want to be a burden."

"Charlie won't see you as a Burden," Bella said, "How did Aunt Jean and Uncle Alex die?"

"Plane crash," Hermione said staring at the wall before glancing back at Bella, "they were going to Australia. I am not sure why exactly, my brain is all muddled up, and I cannot remember anything before them leaving. It could have been on holiday; goodness knows they talked about it enough. It could have been for a Dental Seminar; you know how they are about those. If they miss one, they think the world is coming to an end. Maybe they were moving there? I... I can't help but think that I had something to do with the reason they were going."

"It's not your fault," Bella said hugging Hermione tight, "It's not your fault."

After a few moments of silence, they broke apart, "Thank you," Hermione said with a watery smile, "I'm really glad that your here."

"Me too," Bella said grabbing her had, "I'm glad that your here too."

Meanwhile, Charlie was standing outside Hermione's bedroom door, his hand raising in the air, ready to knock. Then he heard what they were talking about and walked way, he would give them a few minutes before calling them down for dinner. Both girls were dealing with things, and they would both need time to heal. If anyone could help them, it was each other.

…

Edward, Jasper and Emmet had gone hunting, they had just returned home. Alice, and Rosalie were sitting on the couch talking. Carlisle was preparing his Medical bag, as he was due at the Hospital for his shift. Esme was helping him, not that he needed help, after nearly 100 years he should have it down pat by now.

"I'll see you in the morning," Esme said to him in a kind of whisper.

"You bet," Carlisle said kissing her gently.

She walked out onto the porch and waved as he backed out of the driveway.

"Tell me more about this girl," Edward said walking over to where Alice and Rosalie were sitting.

"I don't know anything else about her, that what I already saw," Alice said, "We'll just have to wait until Monday."

"Or we could snoop in Carlisle's office and find out when the girl's appointment is scheduled for." Emmet said with a happy smile.

"That's a stupid idea," Jasper said interrupting, "how would you explain that to them. Our being there that is."

"We've plenty of time to come up with an excuse," Emmet said barely able to contain himself, "Let go."

"I'm afraid that will be impossible boys," Esme said smirking in the doorway.

"Whys that?" Edward asked frowning.

"Because he's taken his scheduler and all his notes with him to work," she said teasingly.

"Oh... drat," Emmet said plopping back into the chair, "well, there goes the fun for the afternoon, now we'll just have to wonder till Monday."

"Why do you want to know about her anyway?" Jasper asked curiously.

"I'm bored?" Edward said making it sound more like question, "I'm just curious, Carlisle must know more than what he's saying, else he wouldn't have said to be nice to her in school."

"It's possible I guess," Jasper said, "still I don't see why it would matter to you."

"I don't know," Edward said shrugging his shoulders, "Something seems awfully familiar about all this. Don't you feel it?"

"Not really dude," Emmet said.

"Tell me what it feels like?" Alice said concerned.

"It feels like Deja Vu," Edward said shrugging his shoulders, "it feels like I've done all this before. Since yesterday when you told us what you saw." in that moment Edward made an unconscious decision, that he wasn't going to let it drop and that he was going to get to the bottom of the situation even if it meant interrogation. It was in that silent declaration, that Alice found herself having another vision.

Hermione and Bella were laying in an open meadow, they were laying on their backs, shoulder to shoulder. They were talking about something that Alice could not hear; but that was not what mattered. In the distance, just beyond the tree line stood Edward, he was looking over them. There was someone else though, another male standing next to him, possible crouched lower towards the ground. She could only make out a shadow and his piercing brown eyes.

"What is it? What did you see?" Jasper asked tentatively.

"I saw Edward and someone else watching over Bella and Hermione," Alice said with a shrug. "I don't know who the other guy is, but definitely Edward."

"So, we'll be close to them," Rosalie said, "Do they bring danger?"

"I won't know until we see them or meet them even," Alice said with a shrug.

Nothing more was said on the topic, they went about what they were doing; whatever it is that Vampire's do.

…

Monday came quickly, much to everyone's enjoyment. Bella bemoaned the first day in a new school, while Hermione looked forward to the experience. As they stepped up to the secretary's desk, the lady looked up. She was not surprised to see these two girls, although who was who was anyone's guess. They looked nothing alike, something she thought odd, for two girls claiming to be cousins.

"Hullo," Hermione said, "were new here, and we were told to come here to register for classes."

"I'm Bella Swan," Bella said filling in where her cousin left off, "This is my cousin from Britain Hermione Granger."

"Nice to meet you girls," the secretary said, "We've several openings, all of which I've highlighted here. Miss Granger you've the most accelerated course history of any Junior I have had the pleasure to meet. All your classes will be with the Seniors. You'll have Three free periods, and you can join a club if you like."

"Do you have a Rummy Club here?" Hermione asked happily.

"Well no," the secretary said, "however we do have a Game club. I'm sure you could persuade someone to play rummy with you."

"Oh, we had a rummy club at my old school; but we never played Rummy, we played Go Fish a lot, or War. It was very relaxing."

"So, the game club?" the secretary asked. When Hermione nodded, she marked it down on the paper, "what about you miss Swan?"

"What she said," Bella said pointing to her cousin.

The secretary nodded in acceptance and marked it down on the paper in front of her. "Do your classes meet your approval?"

Bella and Hermione looked over their schedules, they then compared. They only shared lunch, gym/Health, and a free period in the afternoon.

"It's great," Hermione said happily, "thank you."

"Yeah it's awesome," Bella said with a fake smile.

"Wonderful," the secretary said writing something down. "Take these and give them to your teacher, your late on your first day."

"Oh no," Hermione said her face horror stricken, "what are we standing here for?"

The secretary could not help but laugh silently at Miss Granger's reaction to being late.

Bella looked at the map on the back of her schedule, her first class was in the opposite direction of where they were headed. "Lockers first," Hermione said as if she was sensing Bella's question.

Bella nodded, and continued to let her cousin lead the way, it just so happened that their lockers were close to each other. Perhaps they were given lockers that were left open from other students. Oh well, that did not matter now, the lockers were theirs now.

"We could share if you prefer," Hermione said, "I doubt I'll need all the room."

"That's OK Hermione," Bella said teasingly "I can handle my own locker."

After finding their lockers, they headed in opposite directions. Hermione found herself in Biology, she took notes like a fiend. She was ignored by most of the Seniors, however the stares did not bother her, as she was used to it. By the time lunch came around she still had not made any friends. She and Bella were planning on sitting alone when they were bombarded by a few of Bella's classmates.

"Hi, I'm Eric," the boy said excitedly, "We heard that the two of you would be coming; but we hadn't expected you to be so beautiful."

While Bella tried to speak of a different topic, Hermione was looking around for a place to sit, "I don't suppose we could sit, could we?"

"Of course," Eric said nervously putting his hand behind his head and rubbing his neck, "You can sit with us if you like, I'm sure that Jessica and Lauren wouldn't mind."

Hermione laughed to herself, at all the attention Bella was getting, better you than me, she thought. Hermione did not care much about getting attention, she just wanted a quiet peaceful place where she could do her studying.

"Hermione," Bella called in a sweet voice and a raised eyebrow, "Over here."

"Right," Hermione said shaking her head before continuing towards the table, "thank you."

Hermione sat and ate in silence, Bella was being her usual curious self, asking about this and that. Asking about who was who, the boy sitting at the table across the room. He had dark hair, pale skin and his hotness was off the charts.

"That's Edward. He's totally gorgeous, of course, but don't waste your time. He doesn't date. Apparently, none of the girls here are good-looking enough for him." said Jessica. *

"Oh?" asked Hermione in an odd tone, "Show me," she whispered to Bella.

Bella nodded towards the table, as two of them looked over at them, Hermione flashed them a brilliant bright smile nodding her head once in acknowledgement before turning back to her food.

The rest lunch passed with Jessica offering to show the two girls around town, or even to Port Angeles.

"That might be fun," said Bella, "What do you think Hermione?"

"Sounds wonderful," Hermione said trying not to roll her eyes. Is she really buying Jessica's pretending? Hermione thought to herself, she would have to sort Bella out later. It was very clear by the way that Jessica and Lauren were ignoring her and only attending to Bella, that they thought she could get them some attention.

Not that it bothered her that the popular girls were not paying any attention, she laughed to herself, poor Bella Bella, smiling about the nickname, before turning back to the thought of not having to deal with the attention. Well until one of the boys started to ask her questions.

"Where are you from Hermione?" Mike asked her.

"I'm from Great Britain," she replied going into more detail about where she used to live with her parents.

"That sound awesome, I've always wanted to go," Mike said nervously, "but we've never had the money for a trip like that."

"If you get the chance you should definitely go," Hermione said with a sad smile, "it's well worth the Long plain ride. I'll be right back." As Hermione got up to take her tray back, the bell rang, and suddenly it was time to go to class.

As she passed the Cullen's table on the way back from dropping off her tray, she made eye contact with Rosalie. Hermione smiled politely before looking away. There was something odd about that family, however she was not the inquisitive type, well that is not to say she was not curious. Bella on the other hand, would not stop until she figured it out. However, Hermione thought that perhaps this was one mystery that did not really need solved.

It was a good thing that Edward was facing away from Hermione as she walked, because he was hearing her thoughts as she was thinking. Never had he listened to someone think in complete sentences.

He bit back another laugh when she called Mike and Eric obnoxious prats in her mind. "What is so funny," asked Emmet wanting to be in on the excitement.

"The new girl Hermione," Edward said trying to calm down, so he wasn't laughing, "She's just called Mike and Eric Obnoxious prats in her head. I can read her like a book, she's thinking in complete sentences."

"Sounds about right," Jasper said putting in his two sense.

"What about the other girl?" Rosalie asked, "what is she thinking?"

"I can't get a read on her," Edward said trying again, "I can't hear her."

"What do you guys have next?" Jessica asked pretending to be polite.

"Gym," Bella and Hermione said at the same time.

"Perfect," Jessica said, "We'll walk you since we've the same class."

A/N: * indicate dialogue from the actual book/movie.

**I cannot remember when it was, I wanted to address with Charlie and his girls. Though I think that since he fancies himself protector that he thinks of Hermione more like a daughter than as his Niece. So instead of one daughter he has two.

As of now I've no idea who will end up with Hermione. I am going to try and stay true to cannon with Bella/Edward. But I am thinking this is going to be a Jake/Hermione pairing.
