Callie's POV
I put the last of my clothes into the beaten up trunk. I cannot believe that break was already over and we were going back for our last year at Hogwarts. I couldn't wait to see Cedric again and Fred. Ivy lazily put another shirt into her trunk and sighed, wrapping a Gryffindor scarf tightly around her neck.
I roll my eyes, then ask,
"What is wrong,child? I thought you were excited to go back and put your name in the goblet of fire." I walk over to her and start to help with the rest of her clothes.
"I am! Alice says she's not sure she wants to come if we are picked for the tournament."
I sit down on the bed next to her.
"Can you blame her? I mean, would you want there to be a chance that you had to watch her die?" I ask, eyeing Ivy. She sighs again and slumps down on the bed.
"We wouldn't die. I believe that if one of us gets picked, we will get Hogwarts the cup. I just want Alice to see me raise it in the air."
I cannot help but laugh.
"I think you spent too much time looking into Grandpa's mirror when we were younger."
Ivy rolls her eyes and goes back to packing.
I hear a knock on my door and look to see Bella standing there, looking a little anxious.
"Hey, Bells. What can I do for you?"
She bites her lips and says,
"Are the Cullens vampires?" Ivy stands up from the bed and walks over to the door.
"How did you figure that one out, mate?" She asks, as she pulls Bella into my room.
"Don't want Charlie to overhear ya."
I whisper as I shut the door. She nods and we both look at her expectantly.
"Okay. Well, I was in Port Angeles, looking at prom dresses with Angela and Jessica." She starts.
"Wait. Is Jessica the one with the big nose?" Ivy interrupts. I roll my eyes.
"Why is it relevant how big her nose is?" I ask, looking at her with a duh look.
"I am trying to picture it in my mind Callie. Now continue." We both look to Bells, urging her to go on with the story. She does, telling us about the book shop and the jerky, drunk, frat boys. We both cringe at that part. Finally she talks about the dinner with Edward and how it has all suddenly come together.
"You've had a busy day." Ivy mutters when Bella is done explaining.
"Are you okay?" I add, sitting down on the bed.
"Yeah, I ju- it's not everyday you find out vampires are real and you're in love with one."
"Did you just say the L word?"
I ask, eyeing her carefully and she looks like she instantly regrets saying anything.
Ivy and I begin laughing as Bella rolls her eyes and laughs too..
Alice's POV
Jasper and I sit in the living room, waiting for the clock to hit midnight. As soon as it does, it will be time to go say goodbye. I cringe at the thought of it.
All of a sudden, Edward comes storming through the front door. He pauses when he sees our melancholy faces and his scowl lightens a bit.
"How are you two doing?" He asks, looking concerned.
"We've been-" I start.
"Better." Jasper finishes for me and Edward nods.
"I'm sorry they have to leave but they will come back." He tries his best to comfort us.
"Did Bella figure it out?" I ask, thinking back to my vision from this morning.
Edward rolls his eyes and nods.
"I cannot tell if that girl is extremely smart, or utterly stupid."
He takes the seat next to me on the couch and sighs.
"I don't want her to have to be part of this world, Al." He whispers. I nod, knowing he just wants Bella to be safe.
" I know what you mean, bro." I say with a sigh.
Ivy's POV
It's odd to explain, how something so trivial can mean so much. Callie looks at me teary eyed as we both read the nights headlines.
"Death Eaters Storm Quidditch Final, Is Anywhere Safe?"
We tried desperately to phone the Weasleys, trying to get a hold of anyone, with no luck.
"Do you think they're-" I start to ask.
Suddenly two gusts of wind come into the room. We look up to see Alice and Jasper standing by the window, their faces look sadder than ours.
"What's going on?" Jasper asks, pointing the Callie's shaking left hand, the newspaper being wrinkled by her tight grip.
I look to Alice, she looks like she would be crying if she could.
"This is that start of it. Isn't it?" I whisper as I sit down on the bed, trying not to cry and freak out the vampires.
Callie just looks at me sternly and nods.
"Yes, Ivy. It's the start of the end."
