The nightmares were starting again, it was the same every night with just a slight twist occasionally. I woke up with the sound of the kettle from my dream screaming in my ears still, I was in a cold sweat and standing above me was Hermione with a candle in her hand,

"Harry! Are you alright?" She had shouted me awake from the half sleep I was still drifting in.

"Hermione! Bad dream. When did you get here?" Ron had invited us both over for the last week of our summer, I had meant to ask my cousin Bella but it had completely slipped my mind after the nightmares started, luckily Ron hadn't forgot to ask her about going to the Quidditch match, finally found something he remembers.

"Just now. You?"

"Last night. Harry, you need to tell Bella about the dreams, she has more experience than any of us and you know she'd want to help." I had been considering the idea myself but I didn't want to worry her, I guess it was about time I started telling her about my problems even if she rarely told me hers.

"You're right." I grabbed a quill and parchment out of the bedside draw and leant on an old book stuck in there.

BPOV

My name is Isabella Marie Black Swan. I am 17 years old and go to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. I love it there, it's my home, but I love Edward too much to leave and so I have my letter informing professor Albus Dumbledore of the fact that I shall not be returning for my last year. I have left it in my wardrobe with my Hogwarts supplies which include a firebolt broomstick, a bunch of books, my robes, my 12" wand with a unicorn hair core, and all my completed summer homework. Like Hermione I always chose to complete mine at the start of Summer instead of last minute like Harry and Ron. Actually thinking of Ron I will have to let him know that my father said it was okay for me to accompany him and his family to the Quidditch world cup next week. It was a few days before they would return to school.

My muggle mother and her husband were touring the country and had no idea that I was a witch; my mother had rarely contacted me since I turned 9, only 2 years before I left for Hogwarts. She had sent me to live with my father, when I got expelled from my muggle school for breaking the library windows. I hadn't meant to do it, I lost my temper with a boy who had always been cruel to me, but once my powers started kicking in, everyone knew there was something different about me, they just didn't know what and so I was the outcast. Most just left me alone but a few would enjoy making my life a living hell, that particular day he had been insulting my cousin, Harry Potter, the boy who lived. He lived with my dad's brother, Sirius Black; he had gotten rid of the Swan part when Voldermort was after him. Harry had been visiting along with my uncle; we had gone grocery shopping and had been talking about Hogwarts in hushed whispers when we were saw by them and then they were once again calling me names and threatening me. Both Harry and I had lost our temper causing Harry to lash out, not magically, this time it was all physical before I could do anything to stop him, Harry was pummelling him and we had been kicked out of the store with my mother following in horror. She had refused to have Harry stay again and had never needed a reason to hate my uncle, he had never hid the fact he was a wizard very well and so she just assumed he was too strange to be in her company. My mom had never been told about the wizarding world because she would have most likely not wanted anything to do with me and my father.

Well anyway when the boy had been making snide remarks about Harry, after me having listened to my mothers for the rest of my last two weeks on holiday that's when everything started smashing around me. The boy had run and the librarian had gotten back from her coffee break to find tables overturned and windows smashed and worse of all I'd had to admit it was me because there was no way I could tell them the truth and so the following day I was put on a plane to my dads. After that I had finished school and was just left to my own devices, no one bothered me, I'd even had one friend, Angela. She was sweet and was gutted when I'd left for 'boarding school' as the population of Forks believed. As soon as I'd gone to Hogwarts and placed in Gryffindor I was rather popular, as one of the golden four as they had begun to call me, Harry, Ron and Hermione, everyone knew who we were. We had other friends as well though, actually we had friends in every house, even Slytherin, however there was only one who was friends with us and her boyfriend hated us but he couldn't deny Jess anything whatsoever and that meant he couldn't stop her being friends with us, but he didn't cease to torment us, we struggled to find it in ourselves to really care though.

Harry wasn't my biological cousin however we may as well have been related. My uncle Sirius is his godfather after his parents Lily and James were murdered by Lord Voldermort and had tried to kill Harry but for some reason the curse had backfired and left him weak and powerless, but his followers remained and it was only a matter of time before he returned and then the war would really begin. I winced involuntarily, I can't not go back, I have to help Harry. This is why I've yet to send the letter to Dumbledore. I was undecided on what to do, before I could think on it anymore I heard Edwards Volvo pull up outside. It's about time; he hadn't contacted me for days; ever since I told him I wanted to become a vampire too. That's right my boyfriend and his family were Vampires.

Before he could knock on the door or climb through my window I was out of the door and hugging him, burying my head in his chest, normally he would wrap his arms around me but this time he didn't. He just stood there and I moved back wondering what was wrong, his eyes were black and closed off. No emotion showing on his face.

"What's wrong?" I started to panic, had I done something wrong?

"Come for a walk with me." Before I could respond he'd turned around and was already stalking towards the forest in front of my dad's house. I knew there was something wrong and this wasn't a normal stroll in the woods and honestly I'd had enough of him giving me the silent treatment. He stopped after a short ways and I could still see my fathers' house. Some walk.

"Okay let's talk." My voice was stronger than I was feeling inside.

"Bella we're leaving." Huh?

"What do you mean? You mean you and your family don't you? You're leaving me behind? Tell me. I can handle it Edward." I really couldn't but I couldn't just break down and beg like I wanted to. I was expecting this, the day when he would realize I wasn't good enough for him.

"You're right. You can't come with me. A friend of Carlisle needs some help and it isn't the sort of place you could come, it isn't your world, Bella."

"I belong with you."

"No you don't. I don't want to be with you anymore Bella, I just, I cant pretend to be happy in this relationship anymore." I blinked back my tears and cursed myself for being so stupid. Of course he doesn't want to be with me, I was nothing, just a pathetic little witch. And he didn't even know that. I wanted to tell him that I was a part of his world but I couldn't, it wouldn't be fair. I loved him too much to try and make him stay.

"Okay." My voice was defeated and so was I.

"What?" his voice sounded shocked. Why? It's not like I'm going to fight for him if he doesn't want me, I'm not that stupid.

"Edward I love you and want to be with you forever, but I respect your wishes just as I always have." He blinked a couple of times and I thought I saw a hint of regret in his features but dismissed it as wishful thinking.

"Just promise me something Edward. Promise me you won't come back. I couldn't bare it." He just nodded and left, saying nothing else. I broke down. Sitting on the forest floor I cried and screamed. Wishing for nothing more than him changing his mind. But also wishing he wouldn't. I needed this, the excuse for me to go back to Hogwarts, go back home. I took a deep breath and with that thought in mind I went back to my dads' house and straight to my room. I had only been sitting there for a few minutes when an owl started tapping at my window. I smiled at the sight of Hedwig perched outside and opened the window for him to come in, I thought I saw a hint of white in the woods but dismissed it quickly, this was Forks after all, Vampires loved the area, it wasn't necessarily a Cullen. Hedwig glided in and perched on top of the Empty owl cage in the corner, my owl was delivering my message to the Weasleys about the Quidditch match, I'd sent him as soon as I'd gotten in from spending the day at Angela's. The letter was already written I just hadn't sent him with it at first. Hedwig helped himself to Shadows water and I smiled at the sight before opening my letter.

Hey Bells.

Ron told me you were coming to the match, I'm with him now, and Hermione, we decided to spend our last week here. We want you to come down and how is that boyfriend of yours? I'm still not happy about him being a vampire but hey as long as you're finally with someone then I guess I'll get by. Let us know if you're coming or not you can use the floo network. Tell Charlie I said hi, and that Sirius was asking for him, The guys say hi and Fred and George have been grounded again, they slipped some puking pastilles in Percy's tea, Molly wasn't happy at all, it was great though. Ginny is acting strange recently, Ron thinks it's because her and Dean have split up, that's sure to cause some of our usual Hogwarts drama. Speaking of, do you think we might actually have a normal year? Wishful thinking, most likely not going to happen, when is Hogwarts ever normal, in the three years I've been there we have fought Voldermort for the Philosopher stone, battled a basilisk and a younger Voldermort, not to mention gotten Sirius away from the Dementors, I cant believe that after all these years they're still looking for him, he didn't even do anything. What was it like before we came? You only had two years without us, must have been so boring. Mr Weasley thinks that Diggory is coming to the Quidditch match, they're supposed to be getting the Portkey in the same place or something anyway I'll explain more when you're here, whether that's now or before the match…

I smiled as I got to the part about the match it's nice how normal everything is there. Fred and George in trouble, nothing new there just wish I had been able to see Percy's face. The twins had it out for him ever since he gave me a detention for wandering the corridors at night. Not my fault I was hungry, I only wanted some pumpkin pie, nosey bastard. I don't really want to stay here anymore, I've been here for six weeks and dad's been working most of the time, I swear the Minister is trying to work him into the ground. He's head of the auror's department and spends almost all of his time there or out catching dark wizards. I'll ask him when he gets back, he shouldn't be too long, he has his day off today and only went in to collect some files on Bellatrix Lestrange since she's escaped, bitch, she used the cruciatus curse to torture Neville's parents into madness. He was so upset when he found out about her escaping, he wanted to go after her himself and it took the lot of us to convince him not to go. I carried on reading the letter and the smile immediately fell off my face.

But Bella I'm worried, my dreams are becoming so realistic and it's always the same dream. A muggle caretaker making tea and a light switching on in a sort of mansion or castle across, he goes over there blaming kids. He walks through a graveyard into the place and up the stairs, there are voices, hard to make out at first but it gets clearer the farther up he gets. Wormtail comes into view.

"No, no my Lord Voldermort, I meant if we were to do it without the boy" He's speaking to something in a chair but it's not completely human, it looks so small, like a baby but with old hands, it's freaky. Apparently that's Voldermort.

"NO! The boy is everything. It cannot be done without him. And it will be done, exactly as I say." He shouts it. As he does another man comes into view and kneels by the armchair Voldermort is in, I don't recognize him at all.

"I won't disappoint you, My Lord."

"Good. We must gather our own Comrade, send them a sign." The caretaker is distracted by a huge snake slithering over to them but I mean huge Bella, as in fat and long and its speaking parstletongue to Voldermort, but I can't understand what its saying, I think it might be because I'm seeing it all from the care-takers perspective. He looks back through the doorway where Voldermort is sat with the snake atop the chair.

"Nakini tells me the old muggle caretaker is standing just outside the door" Wormtail and the other man looks towards me, Erm, him, its confusing, then Wormtail is standing in the door and the caretaker flinches back as Voldermort speaks.

"Step aside Wormtail so I can give our guest a proper greeting." Avada Kadavra is the spell he used, what is that? All I could see was green light and then I wake up hearing the kettle from his kitchen screaming. Help me please Bella. Miss you.

Harry.

I was worried. Harry's dreams seem to be connected to Voldermort, I remember a private lesson I used to have with Dumbledore when I was worried about someone being able to read my thoughts –definitely came in handy when I met Edward. It was Occlumency, a way to shut the door on outside interference with our brains, that way mind reading didn't work, even if you were connected to them, neither did the cruciatus curse as it only makes you think you're in pain when physically you're not. But if that means Harry's dreams are true then Voldemort's back, again, and the fight goes on, if it's true that poor caretaker is dead and from the sound of things, Harry might be next.
