"Goodbye, Hermione," Carlisle said, looking at her with pain-filled eyes.

"Goodbye, Carlisle." Hermione's voice broke as she walked to the gate and handed over her ticket. She walked through the door and heard it close shut. She did not look back, knowing she would throw everything away to be back in his arms.

Even thought they were going home, they were leaving home at the same time because they had both found a home in each other's arms.

Sitting at her desk, Hermione shuffled trough paperwork of escaped death eaters that had escaped two weeks ago. She sighed looking at the names on the list; they were awaiting the kiss. Why all these years later these death eaters were awaiting the kiss still boggled her mind. The list of missing death eaters were; Thorfinn Rowle, Walden Macnair, Alecto Carrow, and Antonin Dolohov.

Giving a long sigh, she leaned back in her chair running her hands over her face; as she felt her necklace slide across her skin. Her hand reached for the pendant playing with it in her hands.

"Something to remember me by."

Hermione paused hearing Carlisle's words play through her head. After four years she still missed and loved him more than anything in the world. She thought about him; wondering how he was and what he was doing. They had kept their promise of no contact. Contact; the word brought the thoughts of Carlisle's hands and body on her.

Hermione cried out, her fingers knotting in his hair as she felt her climax hit. Her cries quickly brought Carlisle to his own ending. Holding on to one another, he looked up into her eyes. "I love you."

A rapid knock on Hermione's door caused Hermione to jump, she huffed giving a yell. "Come in."

"You sound like a pleasant person this morning," Draco stated entering Hermione's office. Walking over, he placed a cup of tea on her desk.

Hermione looked down eyeing the tea suspiciously. "Draco, why did you bring me tea," She questioned picking it up taking a drink of it.

"Well, at least I see you didn't think I poisoned it," Draco said sitting in front of her desk.

"No, you have been my partner for the last 3 years. If you really wanted to kill me you would have done it then." Hermione smirked at him. "What I also meant is over those three years the only time you have brought me tea is when you bring me bad news so what is it?"

"The minister wants to see you and I, in thirty minutes in his office," Draco told her sounding puzzled as to why the minister wanted them.

"Why would Kingsley want us?" Hermione also said sounding confused normally he would call Harry.

"There's a client wanting us to work this problem as he is calling. Kingsley said he has more info for us when we get there." Draco informed her.

Drinking the last bit of her tea Hermione stood to walk to the door of her office. Draco jumped out of his chair rushing to her side. Draco didn't need to ask where she was going he already knew.

"We're here to see the minister," Hermione stated to the minister's secretary, who looked to be quite nervous.

"Yes, they're waiting for you." The girl stuttered quickly motioning for Hermione to enter the minister's office. Hermione frowned at this something wasn't right, Hermione looked at Draco seeing he was as much on edge as she was.

Hermione opened the door walking into the minister's office. Hermione could see people sitting in the chairs before Kingsley's desk. "Minister, You wanted to see Draco and me."

"Yes, Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy. Our guests have some information in your case." Kingsley informed her.

"Ok." Hermione turned looking down at the back of the person's head seeing black hair. She didn't ask why Kingsley didn't send this person down to her office. "What information do you have for me, sir," Hermione asked taking not of the man's hand resting on the chair.

The man's hand tapped against the chair before he stood to turn around to look at face Hermione. Seeing the man's face, Hermione felt the air rip from her lungs. Warm red eyes met cold brown eyes.

"Mia signora, You don't look happy to see me."

Hermione's eyes flared as he spoke to her. "Why the hell would I be happy to see you, Aro?" Hermione hissed.

The Volturi leader simply smiled, "No hug for your old friend?"

Draco and Kingsley gave Hermione a shocked expression. Wondering how Hermione had met the leader of the Volturi Coven.

"Oh, my they don't know your little secret. I wonder what Carli-." Aro stopped feeling Hermione's wand pressed into his chest. Glancing down at her wand he smirked.

Hermione saw a shadow loom over her looking over she saw Felix standing beside her. "This is business do not bring him up," Hermione growled dropping her wand backing up to the other side of the room. Hermione glared crossing her arms. "Well, what do you know? "

"Your death eaters as you call them, Have joined forces with a group of rogue vampires; that want to move against us," Aro explained.

Hermione gave a snort earning a glare from Kingsley. Hermione quickly mouthed an apology to the minister.

"If they pair together it could mean disaster for both of our worlds and we can't have that." Aro continued; not paying attention to Hermione's attitude towards him.

"Why are you worried they will turn our kind," Hermione asked with underlining malice.

Aro turned to Hermione with the biggest grin across his face. "Of course not. If a wizard or witch is bitten. They must hope they can survive."

Hermione's face contorted in rage. "You told me it would tip the balance If a one of us was turned."

Aro shrugged, "If they survive the bite it could tip that balance. Said person could choose a side of either world. We couldn't have that, or have a race stronger than both."

"You manipulative bastard." Hermione bit out half crying.

"I was only protecting your life."

"No, you were only trying to hurt Carlisle, again. You threatened his family over that. We only wanted one another nothing else." Hermione reminded him.

Aro Shrugged turning back to Kingsley, " I think it would be beneficial for us to work together to end this problem once and for all. Wouldn't you agree on that, Minister. Your two best from the wizarding world and my two best from Volterra working together."

"What about the safety of my people?" Kingsley asked leaning back in his chair, looking over to Hermione and Draco.

"You have my word of protection and I ask for the same of mine," Aro asked.

Kingsley nodded in agreement.

"I know your people wondered through my city not long ago. They may still be there, If miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy would like to leave with us now we can get started on this, promptly."

"who would we be working with," Hermione asked looking at Aro.

"Felix and Demetri my sweet." Aro smiled. "I know your displeasure with Jane. We wouldn't want any accidents."

"Minister, Is there anything else? Draco and I must get ready to leave." Hermione asked looking to Kingsley.

"Of course. You and Draco have immunity for anything; you may have to do to finish this."

"Please meet us at the airport at sundown and we shall leave for Volterra." Aro smiled making his way out of the ministry.

Hermione entered her flat with Draco dropping here things waiting for her to grab her things. Grabbing a bag from the hall closet, she threw her bag on the bed. Flicking her wand letting clothes begin to fill her bag.

"Want to tell me what that was about at the ministry?" Draco asked cautiously

"Do I want to? No. I am going to, though." Hermione began telling her tale to Draco. "No one knows about this Draco; not even harry."

Draco nodded for her to continue.

"I was working in Volterra for a while, I met someone." Hermione paused taking a breath. " His name was Carlisle Cullen. I feel very quickly in love with him. The Volturi found out forbid us to be together making me think that that wizard and witches couldn't be turned or so I thought. Aro threatened his family and I couldn't let anything happen to Carlisle's family. So I agreed to leave Carlisle and I came home. I haven't seen or spoken Carlisle in four years." Hermione's whiskey brown eyes meet Draco's gray eyes, with tear forming. "It's why I threw myself so far into my work and wouldn't date."

"You were heartbroken," Draco said simply.

Hermione nodded playing with her necklace.

"That's from him isn't it?" Draco asked as his eyes found the necklace. "He has very nice taste."

"Yes, he does," She answered as her bag closed coming to her side. "Aro makes it seem as if he doesn't want Carlisle to turn me, but I can see through that. He would love for someone powerful from our world to survive the change and become a part of his guard but at the same time, he fears us."

"With good reason I am sure," Draco said. "Come we don't want to be late."

Hermione set on the jet wondering if smacking Draco in the face would be considered rude seeing as he was fast asleep. leaving her alone with Aro, who was sitting across from her. They had only been the air for about thirty minutes. She had two more hours with the vampire.

"Are you going to speak with me, Hermione?" Aro questioned. "I wouldn't mind the conversation."

"Unless it has to do with the job we have nothing to speak of," Hermione said looking out of the window.

"What if I made you an offer," Aro asked. He could see he interest peek but she wouldn't respond to him, he continued speaking. "If we finish this job properly, I may reconsider my position on your relationship with your sweet Carlisle."

"I won't fall for that bait easily," Hermione said turning to meet his gaze. "Reconsider, is not the word that should be in that sentence. Change should be the word you used. Reconsider means you could still say no. I am young Aro, not stupid. Do not toy with me."

"No, you certainly aren't." Aro sighed, he hoped she would fall for his bait. Aro pondered to himself if he should just let the girl go to Carlisle. If he bit her and she died it would be a problem solved. If she lived the miraculous vampire she would make.

Hermione huffed looking at Aro. "Do not dangly Carlisle in my face."

"Do you not trust me?"

"Not for a second."

"Smart girl." He was quite for a moment, his finger tips met as he gazed at Hermione.

Two and a half hours later Hermione and Draco stood in the meet room with the Volturi. Discussing where the rogue group could be hiding in the city. Looking over the maps of the city old and new.

"Do you see anything that sticks out to you Draco?" Hermione asked sliding the maps around the tables.

"If they are going to be anywhere, it's going to be something grand," Draco informed rolling his eyes at the stupidity of the statement; hiding somewhere grand. "Also remain hidden; probably with wards, if not blood wards. Stronger than normal wards and harder to find."

"Will be found together?" Hermione glanced over the table to see Caius had joined their conversation.

"Yes," Hermione answered. "They are like a pack. Stronger together."

"But easier to find," Draco announced picking up the map holding it up for them to see. Showing an old large house sitting close to the corner of the city. "It screams Death eater hold out."

Hermione frowned, "It really does."

Hermione and Draco stood with the Volturi Guard outside of the abandoned building. She frowned up at the build covering her nose; as well as Draco.

"What is that smell." Hermione gasped out trying not to breathe.

"Bodies." Felix grinned down at her.

Hermione grimaced, "How can you grin over something like that?"

"Not that, I am grinning at the face your making," Felix spoke moving over and opening the door of the building. "Ladies first."

Hermione glared pulling out her wand casting a charm over her, to where she couldn't smell the foul odor. Walking forward, she stepped through the door, casting a light charm. Glancing around the room, Hermione could see nothing really out of place until her eyes found foot tracks through the heavy layer of dust that had collected on the floor, leading to the stairs.

"This way," Demetri spoke causing Hermione to jump a little. Demetri smiled, " The smell is stronger upstairs. The other two are going down."

Hermione nodded following Demetri up the staircase.

"Having fun yet?" Demetri whispered to her.

"Fun? Really?" Hermione frowned. "Looking for death eaters and vampire that would like to kill all of us. Or the fact I am here helping the same vampires that helped break my heart. and the possible reason that if I am bitten I either die or become a vampire. No, I am not finding this very fun."

"Pity." Demetri frowned glance down at her.

Hermione grabbed his arm stopping him at the stop of the staircase. "Why?

Hermione really expected him to lash out at her for touching him but a softness passed over his face. "I can feel power roll off of you, Hermione. You would survive the transformation. A very long time ago, I had fallen in love with a woman; a witch even." Demetri went quite, his jaw clenched tightly. "It ended badly, very badly."

"You're the reason. They won't allow it." Hermione stated as realization passed over her face.

"Hopefully, things will end differently for you."

"Thank you."

Demetri nodded, " I'll take the left you take the right." Demetri disappeared down the hall leaving Hermione on her own searching through the rooms. Looking in the rooms, she found very little in them until see come upon the last room. Opening the door, Hermione saw bodies lined against the wall.

"Oh my-" Hermione didn't finish her sentence as she was pushed into the wall. Looking up, Hermione found the red eyes and a nasty smile turned to her.

"Hello, little mudblood." Her eyes widened as he instantly went for her neck.

"Demetri," Hermione screamed struggling against the man.

Feeling his ripped off of her Hermione took a defense stance holding out her wand getting a good look at the man before her. Demetri stood at her side ready to fight if need be.

"Antonin Dolohov, looking kind of ragged lately." Hermione grimaced looking at him. "God, how did you survive the bite?"

"I was the only one to survive." He rasped out his eyes rapidly looking around the room for an exit.

"Make a move and I'll light you ablaze," Hermione growled moving closer keeping her wand on him.

Antonin grinned, "Come now tell me you aren't still sore over that night in the ministry?"

"Really? Get past it." Hermione rolled her eyes. "Why run with vampires? What's in it for you?"

"What's not in it for me?" Antonin shrugged. "I live forever and keep my wizarding power; as well as possibly getting some revenge on others from my past. I just help them take down the Volturi."

Demetri growled moving closer.

"See now I wouldn't do that," Antonin spoke sliding a little farther away "With your little heart to heart in the hallway gave me the information I needed to take my revenge on you love, through you sweet, Carlisle Cullen. You friends downstairs gave me the location to him and his family. I am going to watch you suffer, first."

Hermione instantly sent flames flying towards him, but he was too quick, jumping out the window he apperated in mid air. Running to the window Hermione couldn't see the former wizard anywhere.

"I suggest you get to him fast," Demetri spoke from behind her.

Hermione hit the wall with her fist. She had to get to Carlisle and fast.

Carlisle set in his study, as his mind and heart was a million miles away with a British witch. He could still hear her sweet voice playing in his head. the memories of four years previously were still fresh to his mind. His eyes closed wondering if he had truly made the right decision that day by giving her up. hearing laughter from outside.

Turning in his chair, he rolled over to his window looking down to the yard seeing his family; was the one thing that brought a smile to his face lately. His eyes caught Alice looking at him giving him a smile, waving for him to come and join the family.

Carlisle nodded going outside with the family.

"Carlisle, Are you ok?" Alice asked quietly; trying not to draw attention to their conversation.

"I'm fine why do you ask?" Carlisle replied, chuckling a little as Renesme tackled Jacob to the ground.

"You're a horrible liar," Alice whispered with a sad smile.

Carlisle looked at her with a frown, "Imagine losing Jasper, then you find a small piece of happiness only to have that ripped away, and that small thing made you begin to come alive again. "

"I'm sorry Carlisle. If there was somethi-." Alice's words froze, as she stared into space.

Carlisle realized she was having a vision. He grabbed her shoulders holding her up. Alice's eye refocused.

"Hermione's with the Volturi." Alice gasped looking up to Carlisle. Catching the rest of the families attention.

"Hermione?" Carlisle gasped. "What do you mean she's with the Volturi."

"Her government has her working with them," Alice replied. "With Demetri and Felix to be exact, someone is coming after you because of her."

"Who is it?" Carlisle demanded he was now getting the attention of his family.

"I don't know I haven't seen him before but he knows her." Alice grimaced. "He is going to hurt her through you."

"Where is she, Alice?" Carlisle demanded as he began to panic slightly.

Alice grabbed the side of her head, almost in pain from the images flash so quickly inside her head. "I can't tell between the both of them, their decisions keep flipping around so quickly."

Alice cried out causing Jasper to fly to her side. "Thier here."

A loud crack sound in the silence, a red-eyed man appeared, his eyes locked on Carlisle's form; a smile quickly crossed his face. "Here I thought you would be hard to find."

Bella grabbed Renesmee quickly taking her in the house with Jacob as the protection. Edward and the rest of the family remained.

"Now just to finish my job," Antonin said moving for Carlisle. Completely focused on Carlisle Antonin hadn't heard Hermione and Draco Arrive in the clearing.

"Confingo." Hermione yelled watched in pure satisfaction the spell explode across Antonin's back. "you'll touch him over my dead body." She growled glare in down.

"Counting on it," Antonin growled firing a spell back to her. A battle began between her, Draco against Antonin. spells fired back and forth until on explode sending Draco and Hermione flying backwards.

"Get him," Emmett yelled quickly moving after him.

"Not that easy," He said disappearing from their site.

"Where did he go?"

"After Hermione," Carlisle growled taking off looking for her.

It didn't take Carlisle long before he found her hurt on the ground bleeding from the inside of the thigh. Her small hands were trying to apply pressure to stop the blood from coming out, Carlisle was glad the rest of his family didn't follow him.

"Hermione," He said rushing to her side removing his belt he placed it around her thigh as a tourniquet.

"Carlisle?" Spoke questioningly looking into his golden eyes. Small tears rolled down her face, she reached out grabbing his hand.

"I'm here, nothing will happen to you," Carlisle assured her.

"Let not get her hopes up," Antonin said grabbing Carlisle by the should ripping him away from Hermione. "before I kill him." He grabbed Hermione latching on to her neck, causing her to scream out in pain.

Carlisle didn't hesitate to grab the man's head yanking it from his shoulders, as Emmett entered the clearing. Emmett grabbed him removing the rest of the pieces.

"Burn the pieces." Carlisle running to Hermione scooping her up into his arms.

Draco stepped in the clearing, walking over he lit the body parts a blaze without a word. His eyes were on his partner, bleeding all over the man she loved. She began to cry out.

"What's happening?" Draco asked.

"The venom is spreading, I need to get her back to the house," Carlisle said taking off in a blur.

Carlisle stood as still as a statue watching over Hermione as the venom spread through her veins. He never wanted to see her like this they had protected one another by letting each other go. His heart was shattering silently as the muscles slightly convulsed under her skin.

"Carlisle, This isn't your fault." Alice tried to console. "She will be perfect. She was strong enough to survive the change."

"She already was perfect," he whispered.

"There truly was nothing you could have done," Draco spoke up from across the room. "Antonin would never have stopped. He has been obsessed with her since she was fifteen."

"I never said it was my fault," Carlisle replied.

"You don't have too; it's written across your face," Draco spoke before walking out of the room going down stairs.

"She is about to wake up," Alice whispered leaving the room after closing the door behind her.

Hermione opened her eyes slowly sitting up, observing the room; she could see everything even the slightest bit of dust. standing Hermione slowly walked over to the mirror in the corner of the room. Taking in her appearance in the mirror, She looked the same except beautiful. Her normally frizzy hair was laying perfectly around her shoulders, the frizz no long plagued her hair. Her eye were bright red but that wasn't what was holding her attention. what was holding her attention was the fact mud blood was no long carved into her arm. Her fingers glided over the skin.

"It venom heals any scars no matter how old, they may be," Carlisle spoke softly from behind her.

Slowly turning around, Hermione found Carlisle watching her. Seeing this man now took over her senses, he became the center of her thoughts, soul, and the world.

"Hermione? Do you remember me?" Carlisle asked a nervous tremor sounded in his voice.

Hermione blood red eyes glided over as placing a hand on his chest and one on his face; she looked into his eyes. "I couldn't have ever forgotten you, Carlisle Cullen."

Carlisle gave a sigh of relief pulling her against his chest. Hermione gently placed her arms around his waist. "I thought I wouldn't ever see you again," She whispered into his chest.

"Me too," He replied placing a kiss on her forehead. "I've missed you."

"I missed you as well." Hermione pulled back looking up at him. "I've been turned haven't I?"

"Yes." Carlisle nodded not letting her go.

"I thought so," Hermione frowned slightly. "Shouldn't I be wilder?"

"I think your magic has something to do with it. you had once told me you had a true control to your mind, I guess that has carried over, as well as you magic. I can still feel it humming off of you." Carlisle said looking down at the necklace resting on her neck.

"It never left my neck," Hermione confessed.

"I am glad."

"Carlisle, what will we do about Aro?" Hermione asked seriously.

"I am not sure," He replied honestly.

"What do we do from here?"

Carlisle smiled, "We will figure it out as we go."

"Nothing matters as long as I have you beside me." Hermione smiled looking up at him. "I love you, Carlisle."

"I love you too," He spoke softly. "Let's hunt; then you can meet my family. Come with me?"

"I'll follow you anywhere," Hermione spoke taking Carlisle's hand.

"Master, The witch was turned by the one you wanted to be killed. "

Aro turned sharply, "by Carlisle?"

"No, it was the wizard."

"Leave me." Aro said with a wave of his hand. The guard left quickly from the room. "Only a matter of time, Carlisle."

Well that's the end! This is only a two shot. I hope Carlisle's and Hermione's end was okay. As for Aro...well just use your imagination.
