A/N: I hope you like this story, it's another one I wrote, and never posted. It's an Emmett / Hermione crossover. Please don't tell me that Hermione is a witch, so she can't be crippled, because it's not how I want this story to go. Rosalie is Garret's mate, and he lives with the Cullens.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, and Twilight.
Learning to Live
Sanguini stared at the witch in the hospital bed, as he held the record of his family in his hand, not believing he was now responsible for the care of the young woman. It had been a long two years to be swearn in as her guardian, after the aid of Dumbledore, and the Weasley's petition, he was here to take her home.
Her best friend was sitting beside her, while Severus, and Lucius, whispered in the corner knowing he could hear them. He tried not to look towards the two men, who were discussing what to do about his great-niece, while she went through the healing process after someone cast a spell causing a pillar to fall and shatter her spine.
"We can not hide her in Malfoy Manor, that would be the first place they'll look, Lucius," Severus spat, still making sure that the boy-who-lived didn't hear.
"Well she can't stay at the school, especially since they have yet to repair the wards around the front gate," The aristocrat pointed, stealing a glance towards the sleeping girl, his wife asleep on the hospital lounge in the far corner. "That young woman risked her life to save my son, and wife, and if it wasn't for her assistants with the Weasley boy, and Potter, we would still be in a war."
"You think I am not thankful for her as well, Draco, and Blaise, are my godsons, and she did what we could not in helping Blaise, without anyone knowing, " The Professor turned his attention to the Vampire, "You're now her legal Guardian, is there anywhere you could think of, that she might be safe?"
"I have a friend in Washington, that can provide us a safe environment, they are vegetarians so you won't have to worry about her being bitten," The vampire answered.
"Do you trust this friend?" The blonde wizard asked, glancing at his wife.
"With my life, as he trusts me with his," Sanguine explained, "I am her only family, and whatever you two say, my word will be the one that matters."
Harry stood to his feet, and approached the vampire, with a hand resting on the vampires shoulder, "We can visit right?"
"I will not keep best friends apart," The vampire assured, as he took the now vacant seat, and sat beside his great- niece. He took her hand in his, and he looked at the group, "I will not allow harm to come to her."
"Than she will go to Washington," The professor exclaimed, before walking out of the room, "I will let Kingsley know to get the documents, to allow you to live in the states."
The blonde walked over to his wife, and gently shook her awake as he knelt down, "Cissa love, we need to get the child supplies, for when she moves to the states with her uncle." He had the list the healer gave earlier, with all the things she would need, and also a list from Harry of her favorite colors, and clothing size. He helped his wife to her feet, "Come now love," he looked at the vampire, "Where in Washington, were you looking to stay?"
"Forks, Washington, a conveniently small town," Answered the vampire, not taking his eyes off his niece, he looked to Harry, "Go back to the Weasley's, and let them know a plan has been made, child."
Harry nodded as he followed the Malfoys out of the room, "Please protect her with your life."
"Always," The vampire promised, making eye contact with the young wizard, "She is my only family."
Now all they needed to do, was wait for her to wake up, before anymore action can take place...
Five Months Later
She had woken up two months later, and had needed to stay an additional two months, until he brought her here to the small town. She stared down at the dark red chair, which she needed to move around with, and frowned up at her uncle, "Can't believe I am stuck in this, until I learn to walk again. She allowed her uncle to remove her backpack, before he helped her inside the back seat of his friends car."
Carlisle, and Esme, had picked the two up from the airport, since any magic way of traveling could delay her healing. He smiled as he helped her get comfortable in the back seat, as his friend put the chair in the back, "We have been looking forward to meeting you, Hermione, your uncle speaks highly of you."
She smiled at the kind man, as he got into the drivers side, and than at her uncle beside her, "I couldn't have asked for a better uncle." She took a hold of her uncles hand, and smiled, "It was his idea to bring me here."
Sanguini looked towards his friends mate, who had turned to face the too, "Thank you for getting our house in order, and getting her set up for school, she really wants to finish her education."
"I think she's amazing, wanting to go to school right away," Esme looked at the young woman, "I wish my children were as excited, but repeating high school, it can be boring. I designed the new ramps, to help you get around the school, as a donation towards the school. We even had an elevator built into the school, since some of the classes are upstairs, and you don't seem like the type to want to be carried around."
The young woman laughed softly, as she leaned forward in the seat towards the older woman, "I appreciate everything you have done, not just for me, but future students in wheelchairs. I plan on living my life, just like I did before moving to the magical world, only for now I am stuck in that chair."
They pulled up to a large single story house, which was probably the size of the Great Hall, and stopped in front of a ramp. The house was painted a light blue, and had white window trimmings, with a charcoal colored roof which look like a ramp. It looked like one of her sketches, from when she would keep guard, while her two best friends, and her were on the run.
She turned her teary eyes towards her uncle, as he knelt down beside her side of the car, and gently lifted her in his arms, "My dream home, how did-"
"Don't cry little one, you deserve your dream house, after everything you went through. Harry gave me your sketch pad, and I looked at the detailed drawings you had of the house, and asked my dear friends if they could make your home for us." Her uncle explained, as he set her in her chair, which the blonde had already pulled out knowing she would want to enter the house herself.
Esme couldn't keep the smile off her face, as she watched the young woman wheel freely around the house, which she had helped build for her. She walked over to a set of double metal doors, and clicked the button, "Would you like to see your lab, and work out room?"
The witch smiled as she allowed the older woman to lead the way, as her uncle placed his hands on her shoulders, "I can't believe you did this for me, Uncle."
"Draco, and Blaise, they bought all you would need for your potions, and told you to write them if you needed more supplies," Sanguini smiled as his niece moved around the room, looking at every single detail of her lab supplies, and than went to where there was a work out area, "Carlisle, he will be taking care of your Physical Therapy, when you get home from school."
"Emmett, one of our sons has offered to teach you to drive, the car your uncle had designed just for you," Carlisle explained, as he walked to another door, and allowed his friend to press the button, "You have an under ground garage, which only you two can access."
"I had watched Xmen, and liked the underground garage they had, so I guess I put it in my book," The witch laughed, remembering how most of the house ideas, came from movies she had liked.
"My sons are currently begging us, if we could have a cool garage, like this one here," Esme smiled, thinking of her family.
"I bought you a truck, and a PT Cruiser, which is costumed made to drive, without the use of your legs. We could have regular brakes, and gears put in, when you are able to walk again," Her uncle explained, kissing the side of his nieces head, as he knelt down beside her, "I am trying to make up for the last eighteen birthdays, which I was unaware of having family to care for. Narcissa, she bought you new clothes, making sure to stay to your style, and bedding for your room. Lucius, he duplicated his library catalog, and gave you the ones that you have favored in your own room. I was surprised you didn't have a private library for your dream home."
Hermione wrapped her arms around her uncle, as he returned the gesture, "I didn't want to be stuck behind a book all day, or locked in a library, when I have loved ones to be social with. That was kind of everyone, to help make this move special for me, and am glad we're together here." She turned to the other couple, and smiled as she looked at her new cars, "How soon can your son teach me to drive my special car?"
"I will call him now," Answered the doctor, as he walked away already with the phone to his ear. After a moment of talking, he turned back to the young woman, "He will be here in five minutes, our home is behind yours a little through the woods."
This should be interesting...
Hermione was already sitting inside her red Cruiser, when a large bear like man appeared, with a wide grin on his face. He wear his hair short, had golden animal fed eyes, and a boyish look dispite his large build, "You must be Emmett, I am Hermione Tiller." She had her hand held out, and waited for him to take hers.
Emmett had to hold his breath, as soon as he caught scent of her blood, afraid of what he would do if he allowed her sweet scent to enter his nostrils. He forced a wide grin, as he took her hand in his, "Yes, my dad said you wanted to learn to drive, so I figure we could drive from here to school. That way you have no excuse to get lost."
"I could hide my scent if you would like, that way you could pretend to breath, I know your family is trying to blend in," She wandlessly cast a spell, that hid her scent, and smiled when the vampire took an unnecessary breath, "Better."
"They told us you were a witch, that is so awesome," He quickly got inside the passenger side, after putting her chair in the back of the car, "Are you ready to get started?"
She waved her wand, causing her chair to spawn in the back seat, and smiled at the large handsome vampire, "I need to be able to reach my chair, you know once I get to school, since I will be driving alone most of the time."
"I will be willing to wait for you, and-" He stopped mid sentence, when he noticed her glare.
She turned in her seat, and made sure he was looking at her, "I need to do things for myself, so I don't need a big strong vampire, to help me with my chair. You can't go everywhere with me, when I need to run errands, and I don't want you to give up your routine to help the cripple girl. So if you please, show me how to drive this thing, so I could get this freedom back."
"Okay," He put back on his boyish grin, and began to explained the different things, to help her get around town.
A Month Later
Hermione stared down the hall, after leaving the main office, and frowned when she noticed the other students stare. She wasn't the only new girl, that was apparently the Chiefs daughter, but she was the only new crippled girl.
Emmett came up beside his new friend, and stared in the same direction she was, than down at the young woman, "You realize the floors aren't going to move themselves, you will actually have to wheel to your class."
She laughed at the teasing, as she began to go towards her History class, which seemed to be the same as his, "So how many classes do we have together, I mean we already had AP Calculus, Chemisty, Literature, now History?"
He didn't want her to know, that he had changed his schedule, once learning hers so he just shrugged his shoulders, "Just lucky I guess."
She stared at him suspiciously, as she entered the classroom, and went to the table the teacher pointed, "I am Hermione Tiller," she handed the teacher her slip, as she watched her large friend take the front desk beside another emty desk, knowing she wanted to sit in the desk instead of the table, "I will take that desk, if it's all the same to you sir."
The teacher nodded, before turning his attention, to the rest of the class, "Welcome back to the new school year."
