A/N: Alright so this is a longer chapter only because the explanation and everything is in it. Hope you like it!

"Hello," the black haired girl said cheerfully, "My name is Alice Cullen,"

"Alice, not now," muttered the boy.

"Oh cheer up, you never know, this could be a good thing."

"Edward," the brown haired girl said with a confused look on her face. She's not the only confused one Hermione thought.

"Bella, Alice will take you home, I have to take care of something,"

"But,"

"C'mon Bella, it'll be alright," Alice said cheerfully. "Bye," she said to Hermione and she got in the Volvo. The other girl, Bella, looked at Edward.

"Just go, it'll be alright." Bella nodded and got in the other side of the Volvo and Alice drove away.

"And how do you expect to get home?" Hermione asked him, feeling a bit more confident now that they were all gone.

"Don't worry about me, what are you doing here?"

"Excuse me?"

"Hermione Granger, friend of Harry Potter,"

"It is you, Cedric Diggory,"

"I never expected to run into anything like this here,"

"What are you talking about? I think you have a right to explain what happened ten years ago! You were killed, Harry saw you! Wormtail killed you on Voldemorts orders! You dropped dead; Harry brought your body back and…"

"Hermione, you've got everything all wrong. It's a very long story… I can't explain it,"

"You better try," He sighed.

"Come to my place, it'll be easier."

"Fine,"

"And I'm not going to try anything so you can leave your wand where it is. It wouldn't help you against me anyways."

"How did you know…?"

"It's all part of the story, just get your friend over here… does she know?"

"I'm a witch yes… about you… well, kinda."

"She can't come into my place I'm afraid,"

I sighed and gestured Abby over. I got in the front and he, Edward or Cedric or whoever he was, got in the back.

"It's Edward Hermione, I'll explain all about the Cedric thing back at my place."

"Abby, drive to the Cullen's,"

"Oh… uh, alright," Abby said, "But, I'm not, uh, exactly sure…"

"I'll let you know when to turn," Edward said. Abby nodded and drove. Edward seemed frustrated sitting in the back seat and I wished I knew why.

"Can we drive faster?"

"Uh, how fast?"

"Hundred miles or so?" Abby and I looked at him.

"No, we can not go that fast!" Abby exclaimed.

"Turn here," Edward said. We drove down a lane surrounded by mossy green tress and arrived outside a beautiful home.

"Come Hermione,"

"Abby, go home, I'll have some one drive me… or I'll call you."

"I'll drive you home Hermione, I have to take Bella home later anyways,"

"Alright, don't worry Abby, everything will be fine," Hermione said, "remember, I have my wand," Abby looked over to Edward as if expecting him to say something, When he didn't she nodded and drove away.

"So, what is this long story you have to tell me?"

"Inside?"

"Fine," Edward led the way in and Hermione gapped at the house. It was so open and wide, with a glass wall on the far side of the house.

"Have a seat on the couch, your going to need it," Hermione sat down, next to Bella, and looked up at Edward.

"Well, are you going to tell me or not?"

"Let me introduce you to everyone first. Hermione, this is Bella, beside you,"

"Hi," Hermione said.

"Hi," Bella answered a little confused.

"You've met Alice,"

"Hi Hermione!"

"Hi," Hermione said again.

"Rosalie and Emmett are there by the piano and Jasper is the one by the door there," Jasper waved a hand as if to wave and Hermione nodded her head.

"Esme is in the kitchen and will be out in a moment and Carlisle is at the hospital,"

"And what do they have to do with you being Cedric?"

"Cedric? You mean-," Emmett started to say but Bella interrupted.

"Who's Cedric?" Edward sighed.

"Perhaps we should wait for Carlisle,"

"No way, you got me here, I want to know everything! You have no idea what Harry went through after you died… well, you know what I mean."

"Edward, what is she talking about?"

"Esme, could you come here now please?" In a flash another beautiful woman was in the room.

"Hello," she extended her hand but Hermione ignored it, she was too busy glaring at Edward. "Edward, perhaps you should explain now,"

"Yes, Edward, do explain," snapped Hermione.

"Alright… Bella, this is going to be very difficult to follow, and another thing to keep in strict silence."

"No problem,"

"How do I know I can trust her?"

"Hermione, trust me to trust her,"

"I don't even know if I can trust you!"

"You can trust her, do you want to know the story or not?" Hermione glared at him but kept her mouth quiet.

"Alright, well I guess it starts off from when we were living in England. Our family went there to visit and we ran into a young Wizarding man who recognized us for who we were immediately,"

"Wizarding?" Bella asked at the same time Hermione asked, "who you were?"

"Yes, Hermione, my family and I are vampires,"

"Oh," Hermione said.

"That doesn't bother you?" Bella asked.

"Should it? I've met many different creatures in my life time, goblin, ghouls, ghosts, giants… well the list goes on. Sure Vampires are some of the more dangerous as they can change you, like werewolves, but I mean, I'm friends with a werewolf… they can be gentle creatures and I suspect there are good vampires. There are hundred of books in the library at Hogwarts about vampires but only a few on the good ones." Bella had a shocked and confused look on her face. "Anyways, Edward, continue,"

"Well, this man recognized us no problem. At first we were sceptical about trusting him. He was doing research for a book and wondered if a vampire could be given magic. I volunteered to help him. Carlisle didn't want me to but I assured him it was fine and I went with the man. He wanted to see if an aging potion could turn back the time mixed with magic for a certain period of time. A vampire would then be able to live life from a certain age to a certain age. This man wanted to see if I could experience magic through out the school years.

"I allowed this man to put magic in me and it worked. I was eleven years old again. This man said his name was Amos Diggory," Hermione's mouth fell open in shock. "Yes, surprising isn't it. A Ministry official doing something as that. Well, he adopted me for seven years. My family didn't live too far away, in fact their house was close to the Weasleys and Diggory's.

"Carlisle kept a watch on things near Amos while I went to Hogwarts. I was able to live like a human. Eat your food, sleep, and I was able to learn magic. However, every full moon, unexpectedly, I would get my vampire urges, just as a werewolf would. I would go, drink the blood of some animal, I stayed clear of the unicorns and those rare ones, and then I would go back to a normal boy.

"Everything was going fine. By the end of my seventh year I would turn back to a vampire and everything would be fine. Until the triwizard tournament. It was fine until that damn Auror Mad Eye Moody came. There was something off about him and I knew it but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was without my vampire instincts. I wrote to Carlisle but he couldn't tell me without being there but I couldn't have that, besides, Carlisle doesn't have the power I have."

"And what power is that?" Hermione asked.

"Mind reading,"

"Like Occlumency?"

"Not quiet, I can read your thought at this very moment,"

"You know what I'm thinking?" Edward nodded.

"Anyways, the magic over powered my mind reading skills and I couldn't tell what was going on with him. So I went through the tasks. When he helped me with the second task, I knew something was wrong so I helped Harry out, paid him back for warning me about the dragons. The third task was the worse."

"And that's what I need explaining. Harry saw the curse hit you, he saw you die,"

"Well, you see there is only one thing that can kill a vampire."

"You have to take its head off and burn them; I remember writing an essay for Lupin on it,"

"Exactly, when the Avada Kedavra hit me, it didn't kill me. It gave the illusion I was dead. I was unconscious and my magic was wiped out of me. I was my normal seventeen year old self I am right now. As the effects of the spell wore off, my body was unconscious while my mind wasn't. I couldn't move but I knew exactly what was going on. I wish I could've helped Harry, I really do."

"How do you explain the Prior Incantato?"

"That was the magical me coming out of the wand, not the real me."

"So what you're saying is… you're a vampire who was discovered in the Wizarding world and asked to help with an experiment. You went through seven years of magical lesson just to lose the magic in the end… and now your life is back to normal while Harry, Ron and I went through hell?"

"You make is sound so easy, you have no idea how hard it is to be a vampire,"

"Like being a witch is any easier?" Hermione asked getting angry, "I have to live in secrecy too you know? I can't just go out and perform my magic when I want. If I see someone in trouble I can't just defend them with my magic. My life is no easier then yours. I fought in that damned war while you went off to live your own life!"

"Hermione, I wish I could've been there to help. I wish I could've told everyone everything when I was me again but I couldn't."

"Oh so you get to run off while you left Harry to have nightmares ever time he closed his eyes about you dying? Every night for months he'd dream about seeing you get killed."

"What can I do to prove to you that I'm sorry?"

"Come back to England with me, go to Harry and explain everything and see if he forgives you. If he does, I will."

"I can't do that,"

"Why?"

The sound of the front door opening stopped the argument.

"I thought I heard some disturbances," Hermione stared at the man. He was gorgeous, and her age.

"Don't even think it," Edward snapped. Hermione blushed; she forgot he could read her mind… and everyone else's.

"Well Edward, what's going on here? Isn't this a girl from England ten years ago?"

"Yes," Edward sighed, "She's a friend of Harry Potter's."

"The Harry Potter? From the triwizard thing?"

"The very same," Edward sighed. Carlisle was quiet for second and then Edward sighed.

"Yes I explained it all,"

"One question… how did you see me in the parking lot?" Hermione asked Alice.

"Hermione, you're a smart girl. You've done essays on vampires… explain the traits,"

"Speed, strength, blood drinkers," Hermione started listing off.

"Yes, what else?"

"Superb hearing and sight,"

"Exactly, we can see every detail and hear even the quietest voice. The disillusionment charm, if my memory serves correct, only camouflages things, blends them in. We can make the details out."

"Oh, right," Hermione said.

"I'm still confused on all of this though Edward," Bella spoke up from the couch. "Did you say Wizarding world? Magic? Witch?" she turned to Hermione.

Hermione sighed, "Yes, tell anyone and the Ministry will have my neck."

"You can trust her Hermione," Edward said, "She's kept our secret so far."

"I suppose so," Hermione said.

"Where are you staying?"

"With an old friend. I asked her family to move after Voldemort came back to life and killed Cedric… well, I guess he didn't really kill you."

"Yes, he killed Cedric,"

"Right, well, I asked them to go somewhere safe after all that happened and they moved here."

"Where do they live?"

"Um, in town, not far from the police station."

"I have to take Bella home now so would you like a ride then?"

"I suppose so," Hermione said getting up. "It was nice meeting to all, I suppose,"

"Your welcome back any time Hermione," Esme said. Rosalie scoffed from the corner.

"That is very kind of you,"

"Bye Hermione," Alice said cheerfully.

"Good bye," Edward, Bella and Hermione walked out of the house and Edward dropped her off outside Abby's place.

"You can't tell her about this,"

"She's kept my secret for years, you can trust her."

"It's not that, she'll fear us, we can't have that. We have to live here."

"I'll try my best,"

"Just tell her it was a misunderstanding,"

"Yea,"

"And leave it to me to tell Harry,"

"What?"

"What if we wrote a letter together for him?"

"Fine, pick me up after your done school," Hermione slammed the door shut and walked to Abby's house. A million thoughts going through her head.
