HIS RIDDLE | JASPER HALE

Volterra

Several months have passed since Christmas and it was now the middle of March. Since that day, Fred has integrated back into everyday life which went well. He and George have been working hard to create new products for their shop.

The Weasleys have been happier than ever with their newly returned son. Molly made sure to treat all of her children equally, fearing losing another one of them. 

Harry, Ron, and I continued our search for death eaters. We captured a few lesser-known Death Eaters but we haven't caught sight of any more high-up ones. 

Molly has continued to plan the wedding, asking me questions about what I liked but doing most of the work. We eventually planned it for the end of April. I wanted it to be a small wedding with close friends so it's just going to be the Weasleys, Neville, Luna, Harry, and the Cullens.

Invitations were sent out back in February and they all confirmed their attendance. It was going to be held at the Slytherin Castle that I inherited from my father. It was in Scotland, a good distance away from Hogwarts.

Jasper and I decided to visit the Cullens in Alaska, having relocated in the past months. We packed all of our belongings and said goodbyes to the Weasley bunch. I also informed Kingsley of my departure, telling him that I wasn't sure when I would come back. 

We were standing in the middle of the Riddle House, waiting for the portkey to activate. Within seconds it activated, dragging us away from England and dropping us off in Alaska. We landed close to the house that the Cullens resided in, away from prying eyes. It was the house of the Denali Coven.

Hearing our arrival, the Cullens met us at the entrance of the house. Alice was the first to embrace us. As we made our way into the house, Alice complained about not being able to plan our wedding but she relented, seeing that it would be up to her standards. She introduced me to the Denali Coven members before begging me for details.

We spent the rest of the night recounting the past for months. I introduced them to blood pops and told them of the spell to shield them from sunlight. I told them about seeing my stepfather, realizing that even though he was a bad person, he was still that, a person who was just human. I told them about Fred being resurrected. 

The next afternoon, Alice rushed into my room in a panic, "Elara! It's Bella. I can't see her future. She just jumped off of a cliff."

"I'll grab my keys," I hopped up, kissing Jasper quickly and making my way out of the room. 

She packed a small bag of clothes while I did the same. We met at the entrance of the house. I handed her my keys, trusting her not to wreck it. We quickly rushed to the car and drove away, heading to Forks, Washington. 

The car ride to Forks was tense. We were expecting the worst, her death. When we arrived at her house, no one was home. Alice begged me to unlock the door using magic so I did and we waited inside the house with bated breath.

An hour later the door up and in walked Bella. She turned the light on, illuminating her face. She looked bad, her eyes had large circles under them, her hair was a mess, and she looked paler. 

Alice was standing behind her so when she turned around and saw Alice, she jumped into her arms, "Alice?!"

"Bella!" Alice exclaimed in shock

"W-what are you doing here?" Bella asked, stuttering, "I'm s-sorry. I just can't believe you're here," she looked at me and her eyes widened, "You're both here? I-is..."

"Would you like to explain to me how you're alive?" Alice cut her off

"What?" Bella asked in confusion
