A/N: Hey hey! I know I really shouldn't be writing this, especially since I've got how many other fics in the works, but really, I couldn't resist. I've just absolutely fallen in love with the Twilight series and I can't help imagine what would happen if the Cullens, being vampires and therefore a form of dark creatures in the Harry Potter universe, were allies with the Order of the Phoenix. I'm definitely going by research (following timelines), but there will also be some AU happening as well. I will also probably be throwing in a couple original characters as well, so fair warning now.
As far as I know from research, in the Harry Potter universe, in 1979, the Order began to suspect a spy was in their midst and in 1981, James and Lily Potter were killed and Voldemort had fallen. In the Twilight universe, there's not much information given. We know that Alice and Jasper joined up with Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett and Edward in 1950, and that the Cullens arrive in Forks in 2003. Due to this very large gap of lack of information, events in this time period will probably be a mix of both research and AU.
Enjoy, and don't forget to review!

Chapter One
November 10, 1981
Cheshire, England
Esme Cullen looked up from her reading of the daily newspaper and her golden eyes shifted to the front door of her house. Even before the slow but steady knocking came, she was able to hear the footfalls up the wooden steps and across the porch of the cottage, and debated about answering the door.
Ever since moving to the outskirts of Cheshire, a county with a number of small towns and villages, more than two years ago, Esme and her family had settled into a normal life; or as normal as it could be, considering the circumstances. However, one thing was not normal for Esme and her family. They were considered to be a very private family, and visitors were not normal for them.
This was why Esme found herself hesitating about opening the door to whoever her guest was.
Their cottage, which was not really a cottage as it was such a big house, was buried deep into the outskirts of the county, hidden away from nosy busybodies' overly-friendly neighbours. Hardly anyone knew where the family was located, just that the Cullens did, indeed, live within the county limits; they were frequently seen within Chester as Carlisle Cullen, the head of the family and Esme's wife, was a successful doctor at the local hospital and his adopted teenage children attended the local school.
Another three knocks broke into Esme's mind and she blinked before pushing her chair away from the table, flipping the newspaper closed and strode over to the door. Gripping the door knob in her elegant hand, she twisted the knob and yanked the door open.
Instantly, her topaz eyes widened.
Standing in front of her was a young woman, dressed in ratty jeans, a tee and a hooded jacket. Her trainers were dirty and scuffed. Her brown hair, dirty and greasy, was pulled back into a ponytail.
Upon seeing Esme, the woman offered a weak smile, which looked almost like a grimace, her blue eyes swollen and rimmed with red.
"Hi Esme," The woman's voice cracked, her voice thick with sleep and emotion. "Can I come in?"
I know it seems kind of weird and AU right now, but I promise that I'll be explaining everything next chapter Please review!
