Hey guys so it's been a month. Yikes, I really thought that deadline was worst case scenario. But I guess that my life has been WCS. It's been tiring getting used to my new job and it's only going to get even more hectic. So, for now I'm going to go with the once a month upload deadline until I get settled in. But obviously if I have a chapter done before the deadline, I will upload then. Also sorry it's a late date. The weather was not in my favor yesterday and I lost my most recent version. So hopefully the chapter is still good. This is a mandatory order meeting, so that information can be passed along. And that the plot can move along. Hopefully it's not too boring.

Next chapter: August 6, 2019. Sorry guys I'm going to have to push this deadline a few days! I honestly forgot that I needed to post a new chapter today as my head has been a mess lately. I've been dealing with a death in my family, so this story has been the last thing on my mind. But I've started working on the next chapter and was going to try to post it tonight. But I decided to instead wait a few days so I can give you guys a great chapter that you deserve. Not another half-assed chapter that is done in a couple hours. So, the next chapter will be posted in a couple days. Hope that is okay!

Chapter 55:

Celestia's POV:

Celestia stumbles back from the spontaneous hug from the four foot something vampire. She returns the hug tightly, glad to see her best friend for the first time in months. When Edward left her in the woods, Celestia was saddened that she didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Apart from Daphne, she was the first female friend she had ever made. Somehow Celestia never really got along with other witches, finding it easier to understand males.

"Bella! I can't believe you're here. What even is your life?" Alice's words are rushed and unintelligible with excitement. Thankfully, Celestia's brain runs a bit faster than a normal human and she is able to make out her excited chatter.

"Let her breathe, Allie." Celestia looks up to see her boyfriend's blonde brother leaning on the doorway. He has a small smile on his face as he looks at his wife, glad that she's finally happy for the first time since leaving Forks. When he meets Celestia's gaze however, his smile becomes a bit more forced and apologetic. His eyes are filled with regret.

"Bella, I-" Celesta doesn't allow him to finish before going through the doorway, pulling Edward behind her by the hand. She stops in front of Jasper, meeting his gaze.

"Don't." He clenches his teeth, nodding in acceptance. "I don't blame you and you have nothing to apologize for." He lets out a breath of relief, the guilt that had pressed upon his cold heart dissipating.

"Thank you." He surprises everyone when he leans down to lightly hug her. Celestia can tell that he's uncomfortable, his limbs stiff as they wrap around the small of her back. But the hug is no less genuine. "I'm so glad that you and Edward have found each other again. You belong together."

His admission is one he had not even allowed Edward to know. From the moment the young human girl had entered their lives, Jasper was against his brother getting involved with her. In his eyes, the family's safety and their time in Forks was not worth ruining because of a human girl. However, the brunette had managed to worm her way into all their hearts (bar Rosalie of course).

Attacking her on her birthday was one of his greatest regrets, almost being the cause of his brother's misery. When the old wizard showed up he was filled with joy. He had the chance to right his wrong and beg for her forgiveness.

Celestia smiles brightly at him as they pull apart, mirroring his wife's proud smile. He looks down abashed, uncomfortable with the proud feelings coming his way. Especially as he stops breathing, Bella's scent too strong.

Edward unconsciously steps a bit in front of Celestia, hand tightly grasping hers. Celestia gives Edward a look of exasperation before silently casting a scent blocking spell on the corridor. She doesn't wait to see his response before walking down the corridor to the dining room which is bursting with activity.

Celestia can prominently hear the loud voices of the two oldest Weasley sons recounting a story about dragons and a bottle of firewhiskey? Their story is met with loud laughter among worried reprimands from their mother.

"Pardon." Tonks squeaks out as she stumbles on the umbrella rack, stumbling into the couple.

"Are you alright?" Edward asks placing a hand on the small of her back to steady her. When she sees who she bumped into she blushes before smiling goofily. Even with her growing feelings for a certain werewolf, she wasn't immune to the charm of the bronze haired vampire. Of all the people that she could have bumped into, it had to be the head quarter's favorite couple.

"Wotcher Ed..Bella, sorry about that! I wish I could say that this doesn't happen to me every day, but unfortunately I have two left feet." She greets Bella before leading them into the dining room.

Apart from the regular order members, there are a handful of unfamiliar faces. The red eyes immediately giving away their vampire nature, especially the glance they all give her wounded side. Celestia, not wanting any accidents to happen, casts a scent blocking spell on the room. Within seconds all the smells from the room are gone, leaving only a clean smell behind. All the vampires in the room stare at the newcomers in awe, their minds asking the mind reader a barrage of questions.

"Good evening." Celestia greets the room in general, getting a variety of responses in return. Mrs. Weasley immediately offers her a cuppa not even waiting for an answer before hurrying to the kitchen.
"Come. I want to introduce you to some of our friends." Edward leads Celestia to the group of vampires talking to Emmet and Rosalie. She recognizes two of the male vampires as the ones that had shown up with Emmet. Unfortunately, since their arrival she never really got an opportunity to speak to them.

"Good evening dear Bella." The vampire with the long hair states, winking flirtatiously. Only to laugh in delight when Edward grumbles.

"Good evening Garret. Noah." Celestia says softly, not being able to fully hide the hurt when Rosalie walked away as soon as she neared. The two vampires watch her go in confusion, not realizing the reason for her actions.

"Sorry." Emmet whispers against the side of her head as he pulls her into a hug. He knows that no matter what she says, his wife's clear distaste upset his little sister.

"Ignore her, she's just being a bitch." Edward states, placing an arm around his girlfriend's shoulder. Edward ignores the hiss of anger that escapes the blonde from the other side of the room and the mental reprimand from his parents.

"Dude." Emmet protests halfheartedly. Edward raises an eyebrow, daring him to disagree with his statement. Sorry bro. I don't know what her deal is. He shrugs in dismissal not wanting to get into an argument with Emmet.

"Love, these are Jasper's friends, Peter and Charlotte." The two vampires smile in greeting, astonished when Celestia offers her hand for a handshake. Neither of them had had much human interaction since their turning. And this human knew their nature and didn't so much as flinch in their presence.

"Lovely to meet you Bella." The blonde man states, voice gruff. He has the stance of a soldier ready to battle at a moment's notice, but his eyes are alight with mischief. The petite girl at his side just smiles. Hiding a bit behind her mate, uncertain about the situation.

"That was some impressive magic you did there little witch." Garret praises, leaning back on the wall. Jumping slightly when he feels something on his back, only to see a small pixie fly off in a huff.

"Pardon?"

"Don't think no one noticed that as soon as you walked in, the scent of blood was erased from the room." Noah states matter of factly, glancing over from where the Denali's are sitting with Carlisle and Esme.

"Oh. It was no big deal. How are you liking everything so far?" She asks the vampires, grinning at their excited expressions.

"It's mind-blowing. The first night we were here, the pictures on the hall started talking and moving!"

"He jumped backwards and rolled down the staircase." Noah snickers, ignoring the murderous glare Garret is sending his way. Everyone laughs at the image of the tall vampire doing something so human.

"Just wait until you go to Diagon Alley, it's magical. Everything there is-its just-" Edward can't find the words to describe what he experienced. Nothing is normal and far surpasses anything he could have ever imagined.

"How articulate." Peter jokes, pushing Edward a bit to let him know he's joking. Edward let's himself be jostled, grinning boyishly.

"You just want to get drunk again Ed." Scorpious states coming to stand by his sister's side.

"What no-"

"Drunk? How were you able to get drunk?" Jasper exclaims in jealousy. Being in the army he spent many nights drinking and celebrating another day lived with his fellow soldiers. And although he was never particularly fond of the taste, he missed the loss of inhibitions and the feeling of just enjoying life.

"It was this wine-" Edward starts to explain as Alex grabs Celestia's elbow, leaning down to whisper.

"Come on. The potion needs to be taken within an hour after it boils and I was already sidetracked by my parents singing your praises." Celestia beams. She had been worried that his adoptive parents didn't really like her. But in reality, they were impressed by the young woman. Her polite manners and great sense of humor had calmed their fears about Alex's birth family.

Since finding out that he was a pureblood, they worried his family was full of stuck up snobs that didn't care for their children. That they gave up their son to rid themselves of the responsibility. But the afternoon with their son's twin had shown them that that was not the case at all.

"Okay." She follows as he makes his way to the library. As she stops at the doorway to let a couple of men into the room she is barely able to hear Rosalie scoff under her breathe, calling her a whore for following the teenage boy out of the room. In her head Rosalie is reprimanding her brother, asking why his girlfriend is going off with another man. Only for Edward to roll his eyes and hiss at her to shut up.

"Is that Edward's sister?" Alex asks as soon as he closes the library door, ensuring that the silencing spell is still around the room. Satisfied, he motions for Celestia to sit down on the large armchair.

"Yea. She's never really liked me. And I think the fact that I'm putting her family in danger has caused her hate for me to grow."

"They made the decision to come here and to stay and fight." He bites out, handing her a corked bottle. It is a vile bubbling milky white liquid, smoke escaping from around the stopper.

Not wanting to back out from the smell, Celestia shoots back the potion. Her enhanced taste buds immediately protesting the foul taste.

"Sorry Les. I would have added in some flavor, but some of the ingredients would be rendered useless."

"Not your fault." Celestia manages to ground out, leaning back in the chair. Waves of nausea fill her as a burning pain comes from her side. The wound feels hot as if the flesh had been burned, and she can feel her cells being repaired.

She feels feverish as the veins, previously filled with poison, are cured.

Several minutes pass before she begins to feel somewhat normal again. As she comes back to reality she isn't surprised to see herself draped over her twin. He has her cradled against him as he runs his hands through her hair, like he used to when she had nightmares.

"You alright?"

"Yea." She pauses taking a mental checkup of her body. "I think the cure was just harsher since the curse was more advanced." He hums in agreement.

"They've started the meeting. Do you feel up to joining or do you want to stay in here? I can take you up to your room." Celestia shakes her head, already trying to get up. Stopping when the room spins around her for a second. Thankfully the room rights itself and she is able to walk to the door without assistance.

"I'm fine." Even though he doesn't agree with her decision, he knows better than to argue with her. His sister is the most hard-headed person in existence. Once she puts her mind on something, there is no one that can talk her out of it.

She gets a few looks as she enters the full room, taking a seat by her boyfriend with her brother at her side. Dumbledore smiles at the pair before continuing to give his weekly patrol schedule of the ministry of magic.

"There has been some speculation about what why Arthur was there at the time of attack but other than a few questions our activities remain a secret."

"Excuse me. But what exactly are you protecting at the ministry?" Scorpious asks. He hadn't heard the reason the elder Weasley had been attacked and Celestia hadn't known either.

"Have you not been to the previous meetings?" A small man, wearing a number of button-down shirts, says sarcastically. Celestia sends a small glare his way.

"I'm afraid not, old friend. Mr. Alexander just recently joined the order and has been preoccupied as of late brewing a cure for Isabella." From the looks she receives, everyone knew about the extent of her injury. She tries to ignore their curious stares, motioning for Dumbledore to continue with the meeting.

"For the past couple of months, we have been patrolling outside the department of mysteries, we have reason to believe he-who-must-not-be-names or his followers will attempt to break in soon." Charlie explains.

"And what exactly is in the department of mysteries that warrants putting your order members in danger if Voldemort or his death eaters show up?" Celestia cannot begin to imagine what is worth the effort. Hadn't the death of one of their own been enough?
"There's a prophesy." Sirius says, seeming to find the sentence as ridiculous as the twins do.

"You're doing all of this for a prophesy." Scorpious' voice is flat with disbelief.

"We cannot allow Tom to retrieve it." Dumbledore patiently explains.

"You're risking the lives of everyone here because of a prophesy. Why not remove it if it is that important? Instead of putting them in danger during every patrol?"

"It's not that simple. There are precautions in place by the ministry to prevent theft. As you should know." Severus explains. Celestia can barely contain a smile as she thinks of the times she and her brothers had sneaked into the department of mysteries, attempting to nick a time turner. Each time their father was furious that they escaped his office without him noticing.

"Hmm." It is plain to everyone that this is taken as a challenge. Celestia glances at her brother, already running different ways that they can sneak in through her mind.

She is jolted out of her planning when Dumbledore addresses her, asking if she has any information regarding Ollivander.

"No. I visited the dungeons today and he wasn't there. He was being questioned."

"Whatever could they want Ollivander for?" Professor McGonagall asks, face pale.

"The only people that have contact with him is the dark lord. No one knows what he is searching for." Severus explains, ignoring the looks of discomfort and distrust he receives. No matter what he does, he is still looked upon with suspicion.

"I think I may have an idea." Everyone turns to look at Celestia waiting for her to explain, her face reddens slightly at the attention.

"After the attack on Paris, I started thinking about links between the two wizarding communities. And after a while, it made sense. He attacked two of the business places of renowned wandmakers."

"Of course." Dumbledore can't help but wonder how they missed this.

"After the duel between himself and Mr. Potter in the graveyard, Tom was unable to harm him.

"He wants a new wand. One powerful enough to defeat Mr. Potter." Professor Flitwick mutters. There is a somber aura that passes through the room. The realization of the young boy's future putting everyone on edge.

"That poor dear."

"Don't worry Mollycakes, we won't let anything happen to him."

"If that's true then New Orleans is next on his list." Scorpious says, getting the conversation back on track. New Orleans was home to one of the most powerful wandmakers in the world. She specialized in using volatile cores that not many wandmakers were brave enough to work with.

"We can't just cross international borders to patrol New Orleans." Moody states, glass eye rolling wildly in its socket. Tonks smiles apologetically at his side, knowing he has a point.

"The ministry will realize something is going on if we keep popping over every day."

"I'm going back to the states early next week. I can keep an eye out."

"That could work. Notify us if there is an attack and we will be there immediately. I will work on obtaining portkeys to help with patrols." Kingsley states.

"We could help." Noah offers. The other vampires are nodding in agreement.

"We all live in the U.S and can stay in New Orleans in the meantime." Eleazar adds.

"Why do we need to put our lifes on hold for people we don't even know?" Irina states, a sour expression marring her beautiful features. An uncomfortable feeling settles in the air.

"No kidding." Rosalie huffs. Carlisle and Esme seem aghast at her rudeness.

"No one is making you stay here." Scorpious states, not one for dealing with people's bullshit.

"This doesn't concern us. Just because your little girlfriend is here, my family rushes in to help the poor pathetic human." Rosalie spits. Edward snarls at her, getting up from his chair.

Celestia grabs onto him and makes him sit back down with her full strength. Edward forgets his anger temporarily as his girlfriend...his human girlfriend.. is able to move him.

"First of all. Alex isn't my boyfriend. I don't care what time period you're from, I am allowed to be around other guys." At her eyeroll, her voice comes out harsher. "Second, you're naive if you think this war doesn't concern you. Voldemort is recruiting supernatural creatures to help him win with false promises. But he doesn't care about any of you. He only cares about purebloods surviving this war. And if he wins all magical creatures are at risk. He despises creatures and will think nothing of purifying the world of all of you as well."

"The Volturi-" Irina starts.

"The Volturi are fools for isolating your kind from the rest of the magical community. It makes you unaware and insolent."

"How dare you!" Irina moves faster than a blink of an eye as she jumps across the room. Celestia doesn't seem concerned and rightly so as the vampire is frozen halfway in her path.

No one moves for a second, everything happening within a matter of seconds.

"You have no idea what you're dealing with. You might be used to being top of the food chain but you're not. Witches and wizards can wipe all of you out within moments if we wanted." At her incredulous look, the wood floor in front of her bursts into flames.

"Bella-" Celestia ignores her boyfriend's warning, knowing that she's in complete control of the fire. When she sees the flash of fear in her eyes she lets the fire die out. No damage was done to the floor, evidence that it was just an illusion. However, that doesn't stop the multitude of disapproving looks she receives.

"This is bigger than you. Then all of us. And if we want to survive this, we need all the help we can get." She lets Irina go. The blonde shakily sits back down. Her sisters immediately rush to her side.

"No one is safe from him. He caused a huge drop in the Earth's population during the first war." Scorpious says.

"We'll help of course. If he's as big a threat as you say, we have to do what we can." Peter says, his girlfriend nodding at his side.

"We will as well." Tanya states, speaking for the first time. She regards Celestia with a hint of respect. Learning that she's not an innocent spineless human makes her worthier of Edward's affection in her eyes.

"Same." Garret says, mouth curved upwards in amusement. Noah isn't even trying to hide his chuckles.

"Well, the offer for patrolling is greatly appreciated. I trust you can contact Alexander about any suspicious activity and he can notify us." Dumbledore leans heavily back in his chair, exhausted by the previous events. But grateful that they have the vampire's support. "Miss Swan do you have anything else to report?"

"Not really. He suspended my training until my wound was healed and I have a mission scheduled for next week. But I won't know the details until the day of."

"Why can he never make it easy for us." Charlie complains. Unfortunate most missions are that way. They are only given a moment notice to prevent their mission details getting leaked and interrupted.

"I'll let him know you want the deets next time I see him." The comment flies over the wizard's head, but a small scattering of amused snorts breaks the tense atmosphere.

"And how is your wound Miss Swan, will you be well enough to being classes the following Monday?" McGonagall asks. "You will need to pick up the sign up sheets from the dormitories later this week."

"It's healing up. Alex just finished the potion today so it's still taking affect."

"Well?" Sirius asks expectantly.

"Well what?"

"Let's see it." Seeing that he's serious, Celestia rolls her eyes and lifts the side of her shirt up. The wound is still disgusting for a lack of a better term. The center had become an open wound, pouring out dark red blood with black veins protruding out of the center.

"How are you alive?" Bill asks leaning over to get a closer look. He can feel the dark magic pulsing in the air.

"It's not that bad. It was worse half an hour ago." She pulls her shirt back down, leaning into Edward's side. She averts her eyes, not wanting to look at Edward's family.

"It's a miracle you're still walking around honestly. My dear mother once left me cursed for a week and I was bedridden." Sirius says joyfully.

"If you hadn't pulled that prank on the minister during your mother's gala, you would have been fine." Sirius whirls around, losing his balance and falling on the ground.

"Narcissa?" The room's occupants look at the newcomers in silence.

"Mum..dad what are you doing here?"

Chapter 54 Reviews:

So if you're reading this, then chances are you are a reviewer. So here's a look into my head. I want to make it up to you guys for posting a day late and not being able to post the original chapter. So I'm going to TRY to post the next chapter either this weekend or the next. And I'm thinking it's going to be brunch, a mission, and a trip to Hogwarts. With of course a little bit of drama because why not.

tyra8888- Uh oh. I wonder how this is going to turn out. My feelings towards the Cullens aren't the best at the moment. And she's almost ready to take her medicine to become a badass again! *fist pumps*

oh no lol. Did I do something to make you not like the Cullens? I can't think of anything, but I might give you more reason to soon (oops.) I know! I'm excited to write in more action badass scenes.

BRIROSE1 chapter 54 . Jun 29

Great chapter...The Cullen's are back! I'm so happy,I was misssing them. Does that mean we're closer to seeing the Cullen's witnessing Celestia full on "death eater"?

Yay! I'm glad you're excited. There will definitely be more scenes in the future when the Cullens really see Celestia in her new role. But there might be a few bumps along the road until they accept it.

Beth chapter 54 . Jul 6- Glad to see that you're more active lately. Still reading over here. Like the chapters so far, as always I'm anxious to see her interact with people from her past as both Bella and Celestia. Also my birthday is on the 8th! So it'll be a nice birthday gift. Hope all is well :)

Thanks! I'm trying and I've already failed at sticking to my deadline (hangs head). Good! There will be more interaction with people from her past in the next chapter. Yay! Happy late birthday! Sorry I didn't get to post this on your actual birthday, hope you weren't too disappointed.
