Hello everyone and welcome to my new story, Enchanted. I have not posted on here for many years (sorry). I had an old Jasper/Hermione posted here, which I have deleted. This is, kind of, a brand-new version. It's still Jasper/Hermione, but also very different to my old one. Hope you enjoy.

Enchanted

Hermione Jean Granger was an unusual person, ever since she was born. It was as if the fates had marked that her life would be special, and it was. She was the eldest daughter to Charlie Swan and Amelia Granger. It was a mistake. Hermione's parents separated, her mother taking her back to England. Her father then married another woman and they produced Hermione's younger sister Isabella Swan. Hermione didn't really know her little sister, she lived a very long way away and visits were rare. Also, Amelia did not like Renee, so she purposely kept distance between them. Hermione always wished that her mother and father married so she could have a real family because she had loved both of them and was always sad at how little she managed to see her father.

That time got even shorter as Hermione found out she was a witch and was sent to Boarding school, which at times she would regret. Hermione was a vital part in the Wizarding World, she helped fight and win the Wizarding War. Afterwards she was a shell of herself, she had lost so much in that war, and gained feelings or despair, she also knew she probably had PTSD at least, she was good at trying to push those painful memories away by distracting herself, that wasn't so easy when she was asleep. Her, at the time, boyfriend Ron didn't understand this, he hadn't gone through anything like it, he hadn't been tortured. It was one day that their relationship ended when he insinuated she wasn't trying, that she wanted to be hurt and injured. Hermione went off at him, and so did her best friend Harry. Harry had been there for her afterwards, he was one of the only ones to understand why she hadn't recovered yet.

Harry even went with her when it was time to collect her mother and step-father from Australia and he was there to console her after she discovered that they'd died. She managed to protect them from Death Eaters and Voldemort himself, but they died in a simple car crash, the fate of it agonised Hermione until there was a wet patch of her tears on Harry's shoulder. She had their bodies transported back to England and buried in the same church graveyard as Harry's parents. They visited the four graves to say goodbye, and Harry even asked his parents to look after Hermione's mum and step-father. They both gasped as bright sunlight shined down on them as if Lily and James were answering them.

They stood staring at Hermione's mother and step-father's graves for a long time until Hermione decided to speak. "Harry?"

"Yeah, Mione?"

"I need to live with my dad." She said simply, and he looked at her softly as if he didn't want to part with her.

"I understand, but I'll miss you." He said softly, his head hung.

"You could come with me." Hermione whispered, and Harry raised his head sharply to look at her.

"What do you mean?"

"I need to go see my dad. I never got to spend any time with him as a child, he's my only family left. However, I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave any of our friends, really."

"Who do you count as your friends after the Weasley incident?" Harry asked. Hermione thought about that family. She was upset at how Ron and Ginny handled their relationships, they just didn't understand like Harry and Hermione did, torture wasn't something you just got over. However, the twins and the two eldest brothers and Fleur still contacted them frequently and Hermione still felt as though they were family.

"Luna, Neville, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie and Fleur."

"So, you want to ask all of them?"

"I think, at least, Luna and Neville will come with us. They want to get away as well. Luna's dad died and Neville's grandmother. They have nothing left for the in England, just like us. I think we have to ask them."

"Okay, we'll ask them, but I can't promise anything." Harry said and hugged Hermione.

. . . .

50 (or so) years earlier

Alice knew that Jasper would eventually find her, she knew that throughout the 30 years she waited and looked for him. She knew that as she entered that bar, she would meet him by the end of the day. And there he was, she loved him as soon as she saw him in front of her.

"Hi." She said softly.

"Uh, hey." He grunted back.

"I don't want to freak you out, but I've been waiting for you for 30 years."

He looked at her weirdly before deciding she was a vampire. "You've got a gift?"

"I can see the future, I saw you coming."

"Why me?" He asked curiously.

"Because, we're mates." Alice said softly. "I'm Alice, and you're Jasper. My visions told me we'd be together forever."

"Uh, maybe we should talk in private?" Jasper asked.

Alice led him to a room in the bar she specifically booked for this moment. "Go on." She said after she settled down onto the bed.

"I'm not really after a girlfriend, or mate. I've just got out of this…."

"Scam of a relationship with Maria, one of the people trying to take over the south with Newborn Vampire Armies?"

"Uh, yeah."

"I know, but I figured we could try. Look, I know you feel guilt every time you feed because of the emotions you feel, I found this family, the Cullen's, they don't eat humans, they specifically drink the blood of animals, I think they could help you with your guilt problem."

"Eating animals?" Jasper asked, he was curious, it could work and he'd never thought of it before. However, did he have to go with the little pixie to her new family, he was much more of a nomad.

"I know you think you're a nomad, but I've seen how happy you'll be there, how happy we'll be." Alice said and Jasper felt nothing but truth.

"Okay, but lets take this slowly." Jasper said and Alice nodded.

. . . .

Jasper found himself happy the next few years as he travelled with Alice towards the Cullen's, he knew he was in love with her and he was sure Alice knew this as well. They walked into a new pub to get out of the sun one day to walk straight into a person with bright red eyes. Whilst Jasper didn't feel scared, Alice cowered behind him. The lights were suddenly turned on to find a few bodies on the floor.

"We've got some golden eyes, Victoria." James said cruelly.

"What do you want?" Jasper asked boredly.

"Aw, aren't you so tough, protecting your lady there." The man said and Victoria grabbed Alice and thrust her towards James. James paused as he saw the girl before him.

"What do you want, just let her go, we'll leave you alone." Jasper said.

"No, you see when this one was human I was hunting her, she was my singer, I was so disappointed that I never got to taste that blood of her, she smelled amazing. You see she was in an Asylum being cared for by this vampire, he turned her when I tried to eat her. I killed her sire and I decided to spare her life, but now…"

Jasper growled angrily, but his left arm was painfully ripped off from behind him by another assailant.

"Thank you, Laurent, I was waiting for Victoria to do it, but clearly she was distracted by something." James said spitting his venom towards Victoria. Then he ripped Alice's head off from her shoulders as Laurent burnt a fire. Jasper acted quickly, he propelled himself up and pushed the pain away and grabbed the redhead and cracked her head.

"Step away from her, or I'll kill her."

James laughed cruelly. "Go ahead, I was going to do it myself afterwards anyway." He then dropped Alice's head in the fire followed by the rest of her body.

Jasper gasped softly, wanting to cry and scream, he had only just found her. He ran forward and kicked Laurent in the back and he fell into the fire, he then grabbed James arms off, followed by his head. He then tore his arms, legs and torso into very little pieces and threw them into the fire, leaving his head whole.

"You shouldn't have done that, she was my mate and legally I can kill you and anyone who helped you. I'll also tell you something else, I am Major Jasper Whitlock, I trained army after army of newborns, two idiots like you are no trouble."

"Victoria, help me." He cried, Jasper realised he had left his voice box there, and he growled in frustration.

Victoria sat there in shock before getting up, Jasper sifted through her emotions, she was enraged. "You were going to kill me? Why?"

"You're annoying." James replied.

"We're mates."

"Oh, please darling we're not. How could you be so gullible, I never even loved you. I just liked your power, I thought it was interesting, but you've become more a pain than useful." He told her, Jasper watched as her face got twisted into rage as she kicked his head into the fire.

Jasper sent calm her way after sitting down, he was panting, even though he didn't need to breathe, he could feel the venom in his eyes, refusing to fall down.

"I'm sorry." Victoria said softly.

"What for? You did nothing?"

"I didn't exactly help." She told him. "It's like my mind was clouded when I was with him, I wasn't thinking straight."

"I think he had a power to control others, it wouldn't surprise me."

"Thank you." She said softly. "I'm sorry about your mate, she didn't deserve that."

"Do you want to come with me?" Jasper asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I have a gift, I'm an empath and when I eat from humans I can feel their fear and pain, so I hardly ever ate. Alice told me there was a family of vegetarian vampires, she wanted us to go there together. I may have lost Alice and I will never forget my mate, but I still want to go meet this family. Alice was a seer, she told me that we'd have a great life with that coven, funny that she didn't see this coming."

Victoria thought for a moment. "I would like to settle down and not live the nomad life, it could be a great change."

"We should also clean this place up."

"Right, sorry about that as well."

"It's fine Victoria, but you should probably grab a shower, I'll clean up, we need to be quick. I'll make it out like a gas explosion."

"How…"

"I have my ways." Jasper smirked.

It took Jasper about half an hour to stage everything with Vicky helping at the end. Then they ran at full speed away from the pub so they weren't implicated.

. . . .

It took them a further two months to reach the Cullen's house in Boston. Jasper nervously knocked on the door, he knew Alice would have done this differently. A friendly looking woman with golden eyes answered the door with a smile which dropped when she noticed their eyes. They had almost lost the red, but it mixed with the golden which gave them an odd colour.

"Can I help you?"

"Esme, who's at the door?" another voice asked as he came beside his wife and saw their eyes. "Maybe you should come in." He said softly and led them to the dining table as his wife went upstairs and came back down with three other vampires. Jasper was very nervous and Victoria wasn't far behind, but the other vampires looked kind to them. "My name is Carlisle, this is my wife Esme, and our kids, Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett."

"Okay, um, this is a long story that gets a bit odd in places, so bear with us."

"Maybe you should start with why you've come here, and how you were turned."

"Okay, easy enough." Jasper said nervously. "I was born in 1844, Houston, Texas. I was a major in the Confederate Army when I met a girl named Maria, she was a vampire and she had two accomplices with her, Maria was building an newborn vampire army in the south and I was turned for this purpose…" Jasper started.

"Wait, you were a part of the vampire wars?" Emmett asked. "Cool."

"Emmett." Carlisle warned.

"Anyway, after a year, the newborns get culled, with my gift I managed to get myself spared."

"Your gift?"

"It's nothing great, I can sense emotions and I can give emotions to others as well." Jasper explained.

"Could you demonstrate."

"Sure, the easiest is laughter." Jasper said and concentrated for a few seconds before all the Cullen's started laughing.

"That is so cool."

"It does come with its downsides." Jasper admitted. "If someone feels bloodlust, I'll feel it as well, which can be hard. And I can also feel people's fear and pain and other emotions when eating."

"So that's why you started on the vegetarian diet?"

"Kind of, but it was mostly because of Alice."

"Alice?"

"We'll get to her." Victoria told them.

"Anyway, I was the one meant to train and cull the newborns after a while, then I met Peter, he was created for the newborn army, but we struck a friendship. Then I was meant to cull a group of newborns and Peter's mate Charlotte was amongst them, Peter came for her and I let them go. They told me to go with them, but I refused. After a few more years, I felt Maria becoming disinterested and she wanted to kill me so I wouldn't steal her land, Peter and Charlotte came back to try and convince me to leave with me and I did. I love those two like my siblings, but they drank from humans and didn't understand when I refused to eat. We went our separate ways, then I walked into a pub and met Alice. Your turn Victoria."

"I was born in England in the 1550s and turned by my older sister Anne in the late 1560s when I was 18 years old. Anne was turned by Hilda and all together we formed a coven. We had Hilda, our leader, Anne, Mary, Heidi and Noela. We had a few years together, but apparently, we were attracting too much attention from the humans, the Volturi came and killed most of my coven, my sister included. I managed to escape, and Heidi was spared and tied to the Volturi. Last I heard she's the one that gets their dinner."

"Still is." Carlisle admitted.

"After that I met James, who I though was my mate, unfortunately Jasper and I think he had some sort of power to keep people loyal to him. It was like I couldn't decide anything for myself, my mind was clouded. Then we went into a bar and ate the people there, um, sorry." Victoria said guiltily.

"That's where we met, Alice and I walked into that bar, it was all dark and I walked straight into James." Jasper told them. "I should tell you a little about Alice, she was short with spiky black hair, but she was like a ninja. She also didn't remember her human life at all and the only thing that kept her sane was her power to see into the future and know that I was coming, and we would go to you. That's why we are here, because Alice said it would be great for both of us, unfortunately we lost Alice on our way here."

"You lost her, I mean I'm sure we can find her." Emmett said stupidly.

"Em, hon, they mean she died." Rosalie replied.

"Oh, sorry." He said.

"It was James, he recognised her. Apparently, her family shoved her into an Asylum because of her visions where she befriended an older vampire. Then James came across her scent, Alice was James singer and he wanted to kill her, but the older vampire turned Alice. So James took his revenge upon the older vampire and spared Alice, until he saw her again that day. I tried to help her, but my arm was ripped off by Laurent a they acted to fast. My first thought was to have my own hostage, sorry for that Victoria."

"It's fine." Victoria told him softly.

"That didn't work though."

"It was also the moment I realised that James is an asshole."

"Why?"

"He said he didn't care if I died because he was going to kill me afterwards anyway." Victoria told them to the gasps of Esme and Rosalie.

"So Alice was killed and then I killed them and Victoria and I started a very weird friendship. I told her about Alice's plan and we decided to go still, so it took us another few months to find you but we also tried to start the vegetarian lifestyle."

"Well, I need to have a little talk with my family, if you two want to go for a run or check out the town for about half an hour."

"We'll go for a hunt." Jasper said and they left the house.

Carlisle waited for about ten minutes before he decided to speak. "Well, that was interesting and very sad. I think both of them would be a nice addition to our family, but I want all of you to vote."

"Yes." Esme said.

"Yep." Emmett added.

"They seem nice, so yes." Rosalie said.

"No."

"Edward." Rosalie threatened.

"No, hear me out, the Volturi killed Victoria's coven for getting too big, if we add them what do you think we're doing?" Edward asked.

"They need a home Edward, they've been on their own for too long." Carlisle said.

Edward groaned, "Four against one." He said and Carlisle nodded.

"My vote is yes." Carlisle said to the cheers of his family, with one groan.

"I'll go make them a bedroom, I don't think they had much judging by their bags." Esme said and Carlisle smiled.

. . . .

The group that Hermione had mentioned were gathered around a table as they waited for the last member, Neville. "Hey guys." He said as he hurried through the door.

"What's wrong Neville?"

"My parents finally passed away." He said and started sobbing. Hermione and Luna both reached for him and hugged his side as he leant to cry and breathe on Luna's shoulders. It took a while for him to come back after he cried, everyone understood though, they had all faced their own challenges and deaths before, during and after the war.

"Shh, it's okay Neville." Luna cooed.

"I'm sorry." He gasped.

"Neville, we understand, it's okay." Hermione told him softly and he managed to nod softly and wipe his eyes with the sleeve of his jumper.

"I'm sorry, what was this meeting about?" He asked.

Harry glanced nervously towards Hermione and she nodded, reaching out to find Neville's hand, she gave it a quick squeeze.

"Harry and I went to Australia to find my mother and step-father. No Death Eaters got to them, but they were killed in a car crash." Hermione informed them and expressions of worry and shock crossed their faces. "I still have my biological father who lives in America and I decided to live there. I've never really known my father because my mother and he separated and she took me to England. But I didn't want to leave anyone in this room. So, I thought maybe you would like to come with me." Hermione stuttered.

"Come with you?" Fleur asked.

"Come with me to America, for a new start. We can go to school and just live without thought of fighting in a war or careers. Just getting some more time to live our lives without anyone interfering." Hermione told them and Fleur, Bill and Charlie turned into each other discussing it.

"I'm in." Luna said and nodded to Neville.

"I'll come to, it will be nice to have a new start where no one really knows us." Neville added.

"We're in." The twins said together.

"We would like to come also." Bill said and Hermione nodded happily.

"I would love to, but I can't with work and all, but I will visit whenever I can." Charlie said.

"Thank you." Hermione whispered softly.

"So, when do we go." Fleur asked.

"and where do we live?" Luna added.

"Do we live together, or…" Harry asked.

"I want to live with my dad, I feel like he deserves to get to know me, I am his daughter after all." Hermione announced, and they nodded.

"We should buy a house there, somewhere private where we can be us." Fleur told them and they nodded.

"Hermione, when you call your dad, say that your parents adopted Harry." Luna said.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"Because you need someone like Charlie. He becomes a surrogate dad to all of us, but Harry you need that most of us. You never grew up with a loving parent, this is your chance."

"What do I tell him about the rest of you?"

"Tell him that some friends of yours are coming down, then when we are down there, we'll tell him about magic and about the war." Luna said knowingly and Hermione nodded.

"Well, we need to make plans then. We need that house as quickly as possible." Hermione started. "We definitely need to go to Gringotts and see if we can transfer all our vaults or if we can access it from America. We need to convert some into American money. We need to buy muggle clothes, particularly for colder climates. I think invisible wand holsters would be good to hide our wands, we need to inform MACUSA of our move and get our wands registered so we can use magic. I think we should buy at least one car over there and decide which of us are going to muggle school."

"We're too old for school, but for you, Harry, Luna and Neville you are the right age and should, maybe even Fred and George." Bill said and Charlie nodded.

"Okay, we need to get the house first, then I'll call my dad. Seeing as Harry and I are going to be living with my dad, we will at least have to take the flight from Seattle to Port Angeles, the rest of you can get an international portkey." Hermione said and they nodded.

It took a week for the to get a great house with enough bedrooms and that was private and away from everywhere else. It was then that Hermione needed to make the phone call to her dad. She was a little scared but Harry was there with her.

She nervously dialled and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?" He asked groggily.

"Oh, shit. Did I wake you up, dad?" She asked.

"Hermione?"

"Yeah, it's me, dad."

"Sorry, I wasn't expecting a phone call at this time."

"I'm so sorry, I was waiting to call you, but I should have waited a bit longer."

"It's okay, hon. What was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Um, well, this will be a bit hard over the phone, but mum and Richard died in a car crash a couple of weeks ago." Hermione said softly, tears rolling down her cheeks, she reached out her hand and Harry grasped it tightly.

"Oh, sweetie." Charlie said, all hints of tiredness gone. "I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry, daddy, I didn't know what to do. You're the only family I have left." Hermione said and sobbed out loud.

"Hermione, why don't you come down here and live with me, you could even attend school down here. I know we don't have any fancy boarding schools, but it's a decent education."

"I don't think I need another boarding school dad. It sounds perfect. There's just one thing holding me back."

"What is it, sweetie?"

"Mum and Richard semi adopted someone from my school."

"Darling, how do you semi adopt someone?" He asked.

"His name is Harry, he's really kind and sweet. His parents were killed when he was one and he was sent to live with his aunt and uncle. I was stupid back then, and I missed something." Hermione told him.

"Hermione, you've never been stupid."

"I was, Daddy, I didn't notice that Harry seemed to detest to want to go home, or that the clothes he wore were way too big for him, that he was very skinny and too short for his age, that he hated physical contact of any kind, even from me. When I noticed, I told Richard and he and my mum insisted he stay with us, where I just got closer to him. I promise you he's not my boyfriend or anything, he's my closest friend. He was abused, dad. His relatives didn't buy him anything, everything he wore was from his cousin, who was triple the size of him. His cousin used to go and punch Harry for fun, and his uncle hit him a few times too. His bedroom before the age of 11, was a closet under the stairs, his cousin had two large bedrooms and Harry slept in a cupboard. They hardly ever fed him and he had to do all the cooking and cleaning. He never even knew his own name before the age of 5, because his relatives called him 'boy'. No one noticed, not even teachers at his school."

The line was silent for a few seconds. "I'm sorry, hon. He can definitely come live with us, I understand now."

"We were thinking we could live with you and finish our schooling, if that's alright with you, dad."

"That would be great." Charlie said, his wide smile obvious through the phone. "I have to admit I have been a bit lonely. I just don't know if you and your brother will all fit in the cottage, we might need to get something bigger."

"Oh, that's okay dad, we could stay somewhere else."

"Nonsense, it's about time I sold this old house anyway, too many memories of your sister's mother." He said softly.

"I'm sorry dad."

"Well, when you come down you two will have to share Isabella's old room for a while, but we'll do the old house up and sell it and find a larger one."

"You don't have to do that for us, dad." Hermione replied.

"Nonsense, I can't have you two sharing a room that small, it would be best if we sell it. Besides, Renee is married now, I've gotta move on sooner or later, darling."

"Okay, dad, we'll help you."

"Do you have a flight time organised?"

"We arrive in Port Angeles at 7:00pm this Friday, I hope that's okay."

"It's fine, sweetie, I'll be there to pick you up."

"I love you Daddy."

"Love you too, hon." He said and hung up the phone.

"Did you really have to tell him all that?" Harry winced.

"He wouldn't have accepted it until he knew, Harry. He won't judge you and he'll never bring it up again." Hermione told him and he nodded slowly.

Everything else the group needed to do was easy, they were all looking excited to going to somewhere new, where they could just be themselves. Gringotts was quite simple, they could access any vault that belonged to them from anywhere and the goblins kindly gave them cards similar to credit cards that could be used in the magical world and the muggle world, in whatever country you desired. Then they went to the MACUSA office in Diagon Alley to register that they were going to America and to register their wands and magic. Then they went to Olivander's and purchased wand equipment to keep their wands safe, second wands for emergencies, and holsters that would keep the wand invisible, but safe and close for use. Then they bought a trunk to hold all of their clothes but that would also turn into a small apartment for them to use to hide their magical items, like books and potions. Also they could sleep there whilst Charlie organised a new larger house for them. Then they went a little crazy in muggle stores, buying everything they could possibly need for the colder climate. At least Scotland and England had some nice sunny days, Forks had hardly any.
