(Updated) A/N : So this is an updated version... I formatted so hopefully it is easier to tell who is saying what! Thanks to Sakura Lisel for that comment! (I was actually in the process of editing it for things like that... So I just finished what I hadn't done yet :D)

(Original)Authors Note: This fanfic takes place after the beginning of New Moon, and before the 19 years later in Deathly Hallows. Because I am almighty and created this story, I say Fred, Tonks, Dumbledore, Snape, and Lupin are NOT dead, and Georges ear is just fine :D Read and Enjoy!

B POV

He left me. After all we went through together, he left me. I mean, it makes sense though. He thought I didn't belong in his world. Unfortunately for him, and me, he didn't ever know I was already a part of it. You see, E-Ed-HE thought I was just a regular Muggle. But I never was. I'm Bella Swan, a witch, and best friends with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood. And now, I am going back to Hogwarts. Dumbledore will understand why I had to abandon my mission. It's to painful to stay where there are too many memories of him.

Slowly, I walk back through the forest to Charlie's house. Every time I hear a whisper in the branches, or a slight barely there shuffling of the leaves on the ground beside me, I turn and look for him. But he won't come back. I'm not good enough to keep him. Suddenly, I break down. I sit there shaking on the forest floor, barely holding myself together. After what feels like an eternity, I stand up, and continue on my way back to my temporary home. As I walk in the back door, Charlie turns around.

"God, Bells, I was just about to start searching for you. You've been gone a while. Hey, where's Edward? Isn't he normally over doing homework with you at this time? I mean, not that I object to the fact that he's not here. You two could use some time apart. Oh, Bells, what's wrong?"

When Charlie said Edward's name, I had just broken down, again. As he continued, the sobs got louder until I wailed at the last statement.

"H-he left me. And even you think I'm not good enough for him!" I couldn't stop crying.

"Aw, Bella, I didn't mean that. I just meant that the two of you have been inseparable, and you should hang out with your friends sometimes, not just your boyfriend. Like Angela. You haven't hung out with her outside of school for a while."

At this point, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to go back home. Which meant I have to give Charlie back his memories. "I'll be back in a second, K Dad?" And I raced upstairs to my trunk. I opened it, grabbed out my wand, and said "Accio Charlie's memories!" You see, so that I could keep up with my studies while I was away, Dumbledore had taught me how to perform an Undetectable Extension Charm. My trunk was so big, and full of stuff, that searching through it by hand to find something would take ages. Once the vial of silvery liquid-like strands reached my hand, I ran downstairs and put the memories back in Charlie's head. See, we knew that Ed-he - could read minds, and we didn't want the Cullens knowing I was a witch. As Charlie is a Muggle, he couldn't learn Occlumency, so we took all his memories of magic. Because I am an Occlumens, my mind was safe from him.

Charlie blinked a few times, then said "Oh, Bella, I'm so sorry. But I guess this means you're headed back to Hogwarts?"

He looked sad. I never got to spend any time with him, because I went to school in Scotland and he lived in Washington. But I had to leave.

"Yeah Dad. I'll owl Professor Dumbledore now. I - I just can't stay where there's so many memories." Dad nodded, and handed me a piece of parchment from on top of the fridge. I quickly penned a letter to Dumbledore.

Professor Dumbledore,

I know you wished for me to stay in Forks and keep an eye on the developing shifter - vampire war, but I am coming back to Hogwarts as soon as I can. The vampires have left Forks to go live elsewhere, and I do not see them coming back anytime soon. The shifters have barely started phasing, there are three of them ; Sam Uley, Paul Lahote, and Jared Cameron. As there are no longer any vampires in the area, no more should join the pack. Please owl me back as soon as you can with a time that you can meet me in Hogsmeade. I will apparate there.

Bella Swan

I opened the back door, and whistled. My owl, Kaylee, flew down and perched on my hand.

"Hey Kaylee! I have a letter for you to deliver! Could you please give this to Professor Dumbledore? I know you haven't flown in a while, but I know you can do it. I'll see you in a few days, OK?" Kaylee hooted softly, showing she understood. I watched as she took off. Then, I went into my room to start packing. As I passed the bathroom, I saw a glimpse of myself in the mirror. That wasn't my real face though. I'm a Metamorphmagus, meaning I can change my appearance at will. I slowly changed my appearance back to my normal one. Waist-length auburn hair, bright, ocean blue eyes, and a light sprinkling of freckles. This was the real me.

(Time skip - a week later)

Kaylee flew in through the window as I was eating breakfast. I quickly untied the letter from her leg, anxious to know when I could go back.

Bella,

If you say they are not coming back, I trust your judgement. And you say you want to come back? Hogwarts will be surprised to see you back. All they know is that you mysteriously disappeared on a mission from me. However, if you are coming back, I will meet you at The Three Broomsticks. And be warned, Hogwarts is mostly rebuilt, but it is still suffering some effects from the war. I expect to see you no later than noon, your time.

Professor Dumbledore

I couldn't believe it. I was going back to Hogwarts! It's terrible that they are still rebuilding after the war with Voldemort last year. Lucky for all of us seventh years though, we were invited back for an eighth year because our seventh was very messed up. I checked the time. 11:50. Crap! No time to go say goodbye to Charlie. Oh well. I wrote a quick note telling him that I was gone, then went and grabbed my trunk. Luckily it had a Weightless Charm on it. Spinning on the spot, I apparated to The Three Broomsticks.

Dumbledore was waiting when I got there. "Bella! Please, take a seat. Enjoy a Butterbeer! Tell me all about your time away."

I stood there awkwardly, and looked down at my feet as I spoke. "Professor, would it be possible to continue this conversation in your office?"

The reason I wanted to move was I don't think I could do this without breaking down.

"Of course, Bella. Shall we?" He offered me his arm for Side-A-Long Apparation. I can apparate, but not into Hogwarts due to the wards. I gently grabbed his arm and away we went.

Once we were in his office, I asked him "Is it OK my friends come up to hear the story? I need to tell it, and they'll want to know, but I can't handle telling it twice."

Dumbledore looked at me with concern in his eyes. "Fine, Bella. At dinner I will introduce you, and welcome you back, and afterwards you and whichever friends you wish to tell may come up here. Oh, and would you like a chocolate cauldron? They are my new favourite candy!"

I laughed, and then stopped quickly. It had felt so good to laugh after not laughing for what felt like an eternity. Just before I left his office, Dumbledore said to me "Oh, don't let students see you. And have you checked out Weasley's Wizard Wheezes? Mr. Weasley and Mr. Weasley would be dreadfully upset if you didn't go say hi when you got back." He winked at me then, and I opened the door and left.

As I walked down the secret passageway to Fred and George's store, I thought about exactly who I would need to tell about what happened to me. Definitely Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny, but I don't think anyone else. I mean, I have other friends, but it's just not the same level of friendship as I have with those four. I came to a door at the end of the tunnel. I opened it, and smiled as I saw the joke shop. I would never tire of it. I took two steps, and then Fred and George appeared on either side of me.

"Hi Bella! When did you get back?" They asked in perfect sync. "Around 10 minutes ago!"

"Hey - if you" Fred started.

"Just arrived, does that" George continued.

"mean that we" Fred.

"are most definitely" George.

"your favourites because you came to see us first!" Both. In sync. With the exact same grins. I rolled my eyes at them.

"Yeah, yeah, I came to see you guys first because I missed you that much. Now come on, group hug!" I laughed as they hugged me, and we all jumped around together like the five year olds we are inside. I was happy for the first time in a while, and all of my pain was gone. Until it wasn't. But this time, it was physical pain, not emotional.

I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and I doubled over, clutching my stomach. "BELLA! What happened?" Fred asked, picking me up. I started to respond, then felt another pain. I think I may have screamed. George opened the passageway, and they flew along it, and into Hogwarts. All through the run I was in searing pain. When we got into the school, they ran me into the hospital wing, and Fred set me down in a bed while George explained what had happened to Madam Pomfrey.

"We were all hugging, and then she doubled over clutching her stomach and started screaming! So we ran here as fast as we could."

"Thank you Mr. Weasley. Do you mind standing outside the curtains for a moment, both of you while I inspect Ms. Swan?"

She drew the curtains around the bed, and Fred and George stayed outside. "Bella, I need to look at you. Can you stay still for a moment?" She smiled at me kindly. I did my best to stay still, and she waved her wand over me, and a piece of parchment appeared beside her.

"Oh my!" she exclaimed. She then popped her head out of the curtain, and said to Fred and George "One of you go get your sister, the other Ms. Granger, and bring them here as fast as possible! I don't care what teacher they have, just get them!" At this point, I started getting worried. Why would she want my two best female friends to come to the hospital wing? The moment Fred and George were out of the otherwise empty wing, Madam Pomfrey looked at me and said "The spell I did showed me an image of your anatomy, so I could determine what the problem was. And, your problem is, you just went into labour."

"WHAT? But that's impossible! I can't be pregnant!" I was freaking out.

"Bella, another thing... It said the child is hybrid. Half human, and half vampire." Now I was confused. Not only because when she said I was pregnant, it was impossible because vampires can't have children, but also because according to her my baby was half vampire, meaning that the father had to be him. "Bella, I need you to tell me... Is it possible that you have a half vampire child?"

I gulped, and said "Yes... but vampires can't have children."

"Well, apparently that's not true, because you are having a vampire's kid. But know that I'm not going to judge you, and your friends won't either."

I thanked her, then a seemingly impossible question popped up in my head. "How come it hasn't been nine months, and my stomach's not huge?" I was completely confused by that.

"Well, I'm going to assume the baby grew fast because it is half vampire, and you are not huge because unknowingly you used your metamorphmagus powers to hide it." Madam Pomfrey sighed. "I know it's not much, but it's the best theory I have."

Just then, Hermione and Ginny burst into the room, and as Fred and George went to follow, Madam Pomfrey yelled at them "Sorry! Females only in here!" They left, obviously unhappy. "Ginny, Hermione, I'm going to need you to each hold one of Bella's hands. She will be in extreme pain, and needs all the support she can get." They looked confused, but followed Madam Pomfrey's directions. As they were grabbing my hands, another pain ripped through me. I screamed, and blacked out.

(Time skip - after the birth)

I woke up to a baby in my arms. Oh! It's so cute! I wonder whose it is? I looked around, and saw Ginny, Hermione, Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall beside my bed. "Whose baby is this? I'm sorry I fell asleep holding her..."

Hermione approached me, and in a gentle tone, said "Bella, she's yours. And you need to decide a name..." OH. Right. I have a baby now. Wait... I HAVE A BABY NOW?! And I need to pick a name... hmm..."Renesmee Carlie Swan. Nessie for short." It was a perfect blend of her grandparents names.

"Oh, Bella, she's so cute... Can everyone else come in? They've been dying to see you, ever since they found out you were in here! Of course, they don't know that you were pregnant..." Ginny trailed off. I sighed. Was I really ready for this? I guess I was. "Alright, you can bring them in." Ginny ran to the door to open it, and I looked at McGonagall because she hadn't said anything yet.

"Ms. Swan, she's a lovely baby. I'm sure you will figure out how to deal with her diet?" She said it like a question. "Of course Professor, I have figured out what to do about that." She smiled and walked away as Fred, George, Harry, and Ron came up to my bed.

"Eh, Bella, we've been worried! First we hear from you in a while is your back, and that you're in here because - WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?" Ron had caught sight of Nessie.

"Ron, Harry, Fred, George, meet Renesmee Carlie Swan, Nessie for short." Everyone looked at the adorable baby in my arms, and smiled. Fred and George adopted fake pouts quickly though. "You mean to tell us, you came to say hi, and didn't bother letting us know you were pregnant?"

I shrunk away from their look. "Um, I actually kind of only found out when I came in here, and Madam Pomfrey told me I was going into labour."

Harry looked incredulous at that. "How did you not know?"

"My metamorphmagus powers hid the stomach without me knowing, because that's what I think I look like?" It came out as a question, not a statement. Oops.

"So Bella, who's the father?" I broke down in tears while Hermione looked like she wanted to go die in a hole for asking.

When I quieted down, I looked at Hermione and said "Don't be sorry you asked. It's just...not an easy thing for me to think about at the moment. Do one of you want to hold Renesmee while I tell the story?" Everyone wanted to hold her, but I ended up giving her to Hermione to hold, because she looked so sad. I proceeded to tell them the story. "I went to Forks, on a mission for the Order of the Phoenix, to watch the vampire and shape-shifter situation and make sure there wasn't a war. At Muggle school the first day, I saw this family of students..."

(Time skip - Bella has finished the story)

"And that brings me right here, to this moment." I had told them all about meeting Edward, falling in love, the situation with James, and when he left me. Everyone was really upset when I told them about Edward leaving me. It was only then that I realized I'd been saying 'Edward' in my mind, and I wasn't a broken mess yet. My heart still belonged to him, and will for the rest of my life, but maybe I can start to heal now. And then Hermione jumped.

"Oh my God! Bella! I swear Nessie is bigger than she was when you started the story!"

Madam Pomfrey came and took measurements, and replied to Hermione "You're right. It's not a very noticeable difference, but a difference all the same. It must be due to the vampire gene."

Ron suddenly froze. "You... You mean she's half vampire? Merlin, Bella, you made a baby with a VAMPIRE?" He was positively scary. So I started to cry. I couldn't control it. I had a baby, and I had just told them the story of how the love of my life left me, and then Ron had to go and yell at me.

Ginny glared at him. "Ron, in case you were too stupid to notice, the LOVE OF HER FREAKING LIFE is a vampire. Why on Earth would she have a kid with a different guy?" Ron backed down, and apologized.

I smiled at him (not a very good smile, but a smile all the same) and told him "I'm sorry, part of the cry fest is the hormones." Everyone laughed at that.

Then Dumbledore spoke up. "I think it is time for all of you to go to bed! You do have classes tomorrow!"

I looked at him. "When did you get here?"

"Right when you started your story. I just stayed quiet." Oh. I suppose that makes sense. In some weird way. "Madam Pomfrey, must I stay in the hospital wing overnight? Or may I go to Gryffindor Tower?"

She smiled at me, and said "If you wish to go, then go, if you wish to stay, then stay." I got up, and left with my friends and daughter. Thankfully it was past curfew, so no one saw me wandering around with a baby. When we got to Gryffindor Tower, the boys and girls split up and each headed to their respective dormitories, except Fred and George who had left to go back to their shop. When I got into Hermione, Ginny, and my dormitory, I noticed there was a crib, and three beds.

"That's odd. Just last night we shared with Lavender, and there were four beds. I guess Hogwarts rearranged..." Hermione mused.

"Look, guys, if Nessie wakes you up, wake me up if I'm not already up, and I'll take care of her so you can get some sleep." I was tired, but I didn't want them to feel like they had to take care of my baby. Ginny and Hermione nodded, and we all dropped into bed, dead tired.

Luckily Ness stayed asleep the whole night. The next morning, however, I didn't know what to do with her. Do I bring her down to the Great Hall for breakfast? What about classes? As I was worrying, I noticed Kaylee outside the window. I let her in, and untied the letter from her leg.

Bella,

Bring Renesmee down for breakfast. No one will question the fact that you came back from your mission with a child, if when details are asked you tell them your mission was to protect a family. If you wish to tell everyone that she is your daughter, though, go ahead. It's your decision. I can give you the last remaining Time Turner, so you may spend the day with Nessie and then the day at classes, or you can bring her to classes. Your choice.

Dumbledore

What should I do? When I asked Ginny and Hermione about it, they said bring her to class. The reason they said that though, may have been due to the fact that I growled at the thought of being away from her for a day, even if I used a time turner so I was also with her for the day. However, I did decide to tell people she is my daughter. I'm proud of Renesmee. I owled Dumbledore back before breakfast.

Professor,

I have decided I will bring her with me to classes, and will tell everyone she is my daughter. If you could introduce us, so I don't have to do it multiple times, that would be great.

Bella

I picked Renesmee up, and walked to the common room with Ginny and Hermione. We met up with Harry and Ron, and all walked downstairs together. As we reached the doors to the Great Hall, I stopped, telling the others to go on. They did, though they were confused as to why I wasn't just going in with them. I hid behind a statue, and waited until I heard Dumbledore call for silence in the Hall. I listened to his speech through the doors.

"Although the term has started, we are pleased to welcome back to Hogwarts one of our now eighth year students. Please do not bombard her with questions, as she brings a new addition to our Hogwarts family. Please join me in welcoming Bella Swan, and her daughter Renesmee Carlie Swan back to Hogwarts." That was my cue. I opened the doors, and everyone was staring at me and the little bundle of joy I held in my arms. Then my friends started clapping. And slowly, everyone else joined in. I hurried to my seat at the Gryffindor table. Thankfully, the house elves are amazing and had baby food prepared for Nessie. There was some on the plate in front of me. She ate it, mostly happily, but she looked annoyed.

Ron laughed at that. "Even the baby thinks the baby food is disgusting! I bet no one can eat it!"

I rolled my eyes. "Ron, you can eat anything. I will give you 20 galleons if you eat two big scoops of the stuff." Not that he needed the money, we had been well paid as the 'heroes of the war', but it was still fun to bet. He looked warily at the food, but agreed to the deal. I was laughing, but then my stomach growled. Before classes I still needed to eat!

"Bella, do you want me to feed Nessie? I've already eaten." Harry asked shyly. "Oh, Harry, you're a lifesaver! Here, Nessie, go to Uncle Harry! He'll feed you tasty food." Harry positively beamed when I called him Uncle Harry. I quickly loaded up my plate, and ate. Just then, a little first year came up to me with a piece of parchment in her hand.

"Hey honey, what's your name?" I asked her kindly. She looked at me with wide eyes, and said in a cheery voice "Ellie Feiler!" I smiled at her, and said, "I'm Bella Swan, and that's my daughter, Nessie." I waved over at Harry and Nessie.

"Oh wow! She's cute! But I have a message from Professor Dumbledore for you!" I smiled and took the letter from Ellie. "Hey, Ellie, go back to your friends now, but if I see you in the Gryffindor common room later, you can hold Renesmee if you want." She squealed, and hugged me before running off to her friends. I read the letter.

Bella,

I think you should tell Charlie about Renesmee. I have given you, Hermione, Ginny, Harry, and Ron a few days off so you can go spend time with Charlie. They will be there to protect, should you need protection, and moral support. Go after breakfast, I will enable the Floo Network in the Gryffindor Common Room at 9:00.

Dumbledore

"Hey guess what guys! We have a few days off of classes!" Dean Thomas, who had been talking with Harry, looked over at me.

"Really?" he asked.

"No Dean, sorry, you don't, but Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Ron and I do! Straight from Dumbledore himself!" Ron looked like Christmas had come a few months early. Hermione looked worried. "What's the matter Hermione?" I asked her, concerned for my friend.

"I'm worried because I'm excited about getting to skip school for a few days! What is wrong with me?" We all laughed, then I checked the time.

"And we have to go now, guys!" The six of us, including Nessie, all stood up, and Harry handed me back my daughter. On the way up to the common room, Ron asked "So why do we get a few days off?" Oh! I guess I never actually told them why we would get time off...

"Dumbledore wants me to spend time with Charlie, and let him meet his granddaughter. I mean, he saw me yesterday morning, but I wasn't exactly very happy, or you know, pregnant."

"So why do we get to come along?" Ginny asked while making faces at Nessie, causing her to smile.

"Dumbledore wants you guys there to protect me if I need protection, or be moral support otherwise." The four of them started doing a happy dance, because we didn't think we'd need to stay on our guard while we were gone. By the time we found that out, it would be too late.

(Original) A/N : So? How was it? Please review, if you do I'll write faster! ;)

(Updated) A/N : I'll post the updated chapter 2 by the end of the day... probably ;). And chapter 3 is on the way, so hopefully I'll post that over the weekend. That's all for now!
