Dearest readers, I'm back. After the AN I took some time off to think of my next move. I've decided to work on both stories. Right now I'll continue the Hermione(Bella)/Edward story and I'll start on the Hermione(Bella)/Jasper one soon. So cheers, here's a new chapter!

Chapter 3

Carlisle POV

I left my daughter alone in the world to fend for herself. What kind of father am I to do that? I would never do what I did to Bella to Alice or Rosalie. My baby probably hates me right now. Carlisle stop it, she has her own father to take care of her. But she was going to be my daughter.

Hopefully this opportunity with Albus will allow us all to heal some. Maybe in a year or so Edward will want to go back and claim his mate. And hopefully he'll be able to tell us why Bella doesn't exactly exist anymore.

Alice's POV

We were walking through the streets of London, heading towards The Leaky Caldron, all of us pretty much in our own minds thinking of Bella. Jazz had to feel all of our emotions on top of his own, while Edward was hearing all of our thoughts. He wanted to go back to Forks, NOW, however since we had no idea where Bella was, and our only choice in the matter was to talk to this friend of Carlisle's, he had no choice in the matter.

We stood outside the bar for a little while, no regular human even looked at the building. It was as if it didn't exist to them. We made our way into the bar, I took a look around and wow, these people need some fashion advice.

Carlisle led us to a man who was in midnight blue dress thing with a moon and stars that moved on it. I was fascinated, I could do stuff like that to my clothes? Millions of ideas were flooding my mind, not the first of which was how to get this man to wear something that wasn't a dress.

"Albus, it's been too long!" Carlisle stated grasping the old man's hand in his, giving it a gentle but firm shake. "I'd like to introduce you to my family. This is my wife and mate Esme," Esme stepped forward and shook Albus's, "And these are our children. Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, and Edward," we all stepped up and shook his hand as Carlisle said our names.

"Carlisle it's a pleasure to meet your family. I think it'd be best if we continued our business at Hogwarts. That way we can have our privacy. The easiest way is through the floo network but I feel that your family might be opposed to traveling that way so I brought along a portkey."

Emmett spoke up, "What's the floo network, and why would we be opposed to traveling that way?"

"My dear boy, floo travel is basically stepping into one fire place and stepping out of another."

All of us, except for Carlisle flinched at the idea of willingly stepping into a fireplace that we weren't cleaning.

Albus led us to a door that led to an alleyway behind the bar. Out of his pocket he pulled out a small toilet statue. We all looked at him like he was crazy, his eyes had a funny twinkle in them. "Ok everyone just lay a finger on the toilet," we all carefully placed a finger on the statue, "And in three, two, one.." I felt as if a fishing hook had hooked my belly button and we were flying through the air.

Ok a Cullen centric chapter. And a chapter period. It's very short I know but I'm currently falling asleep at my computer and I can't keep spelling Esme as Exme. I'm hoping to have another chapter up later today. I just need to sleep!

A huge thanks to my sister! Who helped me with this chapter tonight. Yeah I had ideas but I still needed help. So hope you enjoyed. Plan to write more later.

XOXO,
Tryphyna!
