Anger flashed through her eyes. He had been swimming? While she had been worrying about where he had been over the past few days? "EMMETT CULLEN!" She yelled, wind blowing through her hair as she stepped back outside and spotted him, emerging from the lake.

Crossing her arms in front of her, she glared at him. And if looks could kill and if Emmett could actually die by a scorching stare, he wouldn't be standing there.

As Edward walked off to the lake towing Bella along Alice grabbed Jaspers hand and followed them down their. Just as they reached the lake she say Emmett running out of the lake. Wearing nothing but knickers. Now that was a sight! As he came over to them, she was giggling. "Emmett your never gonna live that sight down you know"

Jasper stopped glaring at apologized to both of them.
"Near wolves??" He aksed Alice, quite shocked. "That would be suprising." He thouth aloud.

"I know you are." Jasper said to Rosalie. "But we'll find him, he won't be far."

Jasper turned tto a loud thud on the floor. A book. How strange. He looked up as if it had jusr fallen from the sky. He looked back down agian to see a girl with bushy hair arrive to retrieve it.

Jasper was suddenly grabbed by the hand and pulled into a fast paced walk. When they arrived at the lake. Jasper couldn;t help but chuckle slightly. "Lovely, Emmett." He said.

"Shut up, guys," Emmett smiled playfully. "Oh, hey, Rose," he said, his voice laced with sweetness. "Sorry about...disappearing. I was tired of the smell." He looked at her, seeing the death glaze, and he realized that this was serious. "Rosalie," he whispered. "Sorry?" he said.

"Uh..Emmett, we've been looking for you all afternoon," Edward said, trying not to laugh at his almost-nakedness. "We have some important things to discuss."

"Oh," Emmett said, slipping on his shoes and trying to avoid the glare of Rosalie's. "Again, sorry."

Hands covering her mouth Alice tried to control her giggles. It was quite funny to see their bear like brother in near nothing. She looked away at Edward. "Where shall we go to discuss where people wont over hear?" She asked knowing that they couldnt escape to a common room as they were all in different houses.

She hissed at him and turned her head away, still seething in anger that he couldn't have told her where he had been. "Could you try to put some clothes on?" Rosalie said, glaring at a few girls that had stopped to stare. Watching them scatter at the sight of her glare, her features softened and she lost some of her angryness as she heard him apologize. She sighed, Rosalie could never stay angry at her lover for long.

Turning her head to look at him, she growled. "We have family matters to dicuss." She said, looking him over and noticing how his hair was still slightly damp from the water.

Jasper thought about this. Where could they go where no one would find discussing ... stuff. Stuff out of the ordinary to a student of Hogwarts.
"What about the Forbidden Forset? I don't think many students go there." He said.

Emmett grinned his Emmett-only grin, and slipped his pants on. He laughed at himself, patting his damp curly hair. "Guys, stop laughing," he said, quickly putting on his shirt. "Yeah, where too?" he asked, his topaz eyes looking at Rosalie as he spoke to Edward.

"That's a good idea, Jasper," Edward said, thinking himself. "The Room of Requirement is one too." he suggested.

"Let's go to the Forest." Rosalie said, looking at them, seeing if they would agree with her. "And we should probably do some hunting before tomorrow." The blonde said, noticing their dark eyes, and knew her's was too.

Walking past Emmett in a huff, she made her way back to where they had first held their Care of Magical Creatures class. This was where she had noticed a small distinct path into the forest. Looking back at them, she raised an eyebrow at a few people that were lingering around the edge of the forest. Looking at the dark forest ahead of her, she laughed as she thought of how dangerous the forest must look to the other students around her.

"What's with her?" Emmett mouthed to the others as she past them. He shrugged and followed her. He shook his curly hair and looked around at the previously staring girls. He laughed, noticing they weren't staring at just him. He rolled his dark eyes and made sure to stay a few paces behind Rosalie.

Edward smiled, thinking Emmett was oblivious to everything around him. He looked at Bella. "Would you like a ride? Or do you want to stay?"

Alice nodded in agreement as she saw Rosalie storm off to the forest. That was wierd, she had wanted to see Emmett but then walked away from him. "I thought she'd be happy to see him," She commented quietly to Jasper as she followed them.

Draco winced at Serena's own apparent discomfort. Atleast he wasn't the only uncomfortable here. 'Mhmm,' He mumbled, a miserable excuse for a reply. He looked at her sharply, 'Wait what were we talking about again?' He wasn't sure they were both on the same page still, really.

Draco laughed at her comment, feeling himself relaxing again. 'You know you love it though,' He teased lightly, 'It's what makes me...me. Heh.' He ruffled his blond hair messier, realising that it was something he did whenever he was unsure. Damn.

Draco frowned when Serena blushed, contemplating removing his arm from around hers. Instead, he tightened his hold on her, drawing her closer until his arm was completely around her waist. He smirked at her for no apparent reason, 'Honey, if it's your hair I'm copying then by all means, I'll take that as a compliment,' He paused momentarily, wait, e hadn't denied what she'd said? Hadn't teased her own style instead? Crud. When had things suddenly become like this?!

Jasper grinned. "Thankyou." He said. He was glad they had thought of a place quickly, otherwise it would be less time to 'Discuss' things.
Jasper raised his eyebrow at Rosalie as she stormed off. "Well, you have been .. missing, for a while. She was woried." He shrugged at Emmett's question. Jasper had also noticed the staring girls, obviously more now since Emmet wasn't weraing any trousers. He made sure they didn;t catch him looking, otherwise they might of got the wrong idea.
He leaned down to Alice's level so he could hear her. "I know, I think she's just in a mood." He whispered back.

Alice smiled at his words, quite agreeing as they neared a clearing in the forest. "I think here will be fine," She informed the others as she pulled Jasper gently over to a fallen tree and sat down on the horizontal trunk.

Emmett sat on the other side of Jasper, tying his shoes and looking around. "What's up? Wait, don't tell me. Should we wait for Edward and Bella?"

"What?" Serena said sidetracked. He didn't know what they were talking about? "Weren't we just talking about how you thought that I thought that you were jealous because I thought the newcomers were attractive?" Serena said slowly, trying to make sense of what she had just uttered outloud. "Did that make sense?" She asked laughing.

Feeling his arm tighten around her waist, Serena was drawn closer towards Draco. Her breath quickened and she blushed slightly. What was he doing to her? Why did even simple gestures like these make her feel so nervous and breathless? What the hell was going on?!

Hearing him actually compliment her hair, she smiled. "Thanks so much Draco." She said, staring into his grey eyes. Why was her heart beating so fast? Ugh. She really did have a thing for Draco Malfoy, didn't she? Her, Serena Roberts. Now the biggest problem was; was she going to tell him and maybe things would happen the way she wanted them to? or would she tell him and things would turn out awkward for them.

Rosalie nodded and sat herself down on an empty clearing, leaning her back against a towering tree. Looking around to see who was missing, she sighed when she noticed Bella and Edward not there. "Well, we can inform Emmett of what's going on. And than format our battle plans." She whispered quietly, looking around them, alert eyes scanning for any intruders.

Jasper nodded and sat down next to Alice. He noticed a fairly big bug crawl towards him and he flicked it away. Ew. Yucky.
"We should." Jasper said to Emmett. "They need to know too."

"Yes. Well, we need to think about those 'Battle plans' ourselves. We need to come up with a technique of how to beat this evil .. person .. What's his name?" He asked the group. "Anyway, what's holding Edward and Bella back? Where are they?"

As they sat down Alice noticed Jasper flick away a bug. "Hmm. Didnt know you were scared of bugs," She stated with a giggle. "Yeah. It wont be like last time. Its not our kind were fighting," She commented as she tried to look around Jasper to see where Edward and Bella were.

"I think they call him Vol..." Rosalie trailed off, racking her brain to try and remember what they called the enemy. "Vold-Voldemort!" She said, finally remembering the silly name. "But I've heard other people call him differently. Something about 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named' or something 'You-Know-Who'. That's kinda of stupid." She said, thinking outloud.

"Hopefully everyone comes out unscathed." She said, looking at Emmett. Rosalie didn't know what she would do if Emmett was injured during the battle. "I know that's probably impossible..." Rosalie said, thinking of the students that only knew magic. "I don't know if magic is going to be too helpful in this fight." She said, flexing her fingers. It was a weird habit of hers.

'Oh, that,' Draco muttered, laughing to shake off his embarassment. 'Well just to conclude that statement, which makes perfect sense by the way,' He added, winking cheekily at Serena, 'We're agreeing that I'm not jealous. Merely intrigued. Si?' Merely intrigued, his butt. What was he doing with his arm around her, holding her so close and acting like a bloody confused child then?!

Draco's eyes traced the blush travelling slowly over her cheeks, smirking knowingly. 'No problem, Serie,' He whispered, his cool breath fanning over her face. Beneath his complacent demeanor though, his heart pounded furiously, and it was a miracle Serena couldn't hear it. He watched quietly though, seeing the mixture of emotions flashing in her eyes. Was she about to say something? Perhaps tell him to let her go?

Draco paled, 'Uhh, Serena? I have absolutely no idea what I've just done here, so if you...uhh, want to slap me away or something...Just go ahead and do it,' He kicked himself mentally. Damn it, he should have kept his stupid mouth shut. What was his problem with laying out his emotions for her to pick at in amusement?

Jasper smirked. "I'm not scared of them, they're just ... annoying." He smiled at Alice. "I guess it would be easier." He nodded in agreement with Alice. With not fighting other vampires, they were quicker, stronger, and hopefully, magic wouldn't be an advantage to this enemy.

"Voldemort?" Jasper questioned, then snorted. "Bit daft. This guy sounds like he needs to lighten up." He smiled. "Right, well, we don't have to say that, but maybe we should in fron of the students." Jasper said, when Rosalie mentioned that the wizarding world call him 'You-know-who'.

"True. It probobly won't though. Magic isn't going to be a problem for us." Jasper smiled, sounding a bit vain again. Jasper knew what Rosalie was thinking when she looked at Emmett. She was worried, and so was Jasper. He would be the most depressed vampire ever if anything happened to his Alice.

"What are you guys talking about?" Emmett asked, looking at them with confusion plastered on his face. "Oh, the battle. Is it coming soon or something?" he asked, looking back at Rosalie. He hoped terribly that nothing happened to anyone of them, espeically Rosalie. He didn't think he could live without her.

ooc: Where is Bella?

Feeling his stare this close, her mouth dropped open. She had something witty before to say. Say it! Her inner mind screamed but by now, she had forgotten what had came to her mind a few seconds ago.

The words that Draco were uttering were taking a very long time for Serena to process. Slap me away? Ohh. Slap him away. For what? Holding her close to him. Got it. Why was she having a hard time being coherent right now? Normally she would have retorted with a quick snap or a joke by now. Why was she standing there like a fool, mouth open and blushing?

Forcing herself to close her mouth and open it again to emit sound, she realized she couldn't even talk. She was nervous, extremely nervous. What was she nervous about? Oh. That. Leaning forward the blonde gently kissed Draco on the mouth. Pulling back, her eyes widened as she realized what she had just done.

"Oh. my. god." She muttered, between gasps of hyperventilation. What had she done? What if Draco didn't like her in that way and she had just ruined their friendship. "Sorry!" She apologized quickly, wondering if there was any way she could cover this up as a joke or as a friendly kiss. Nope. Nothing came to mind.

"No, it's not." Rosalie said agreeing with Jasper. "It should be alright. He wouldn't expect us to have vampires I don't think." She said, looking around the clearing, still suspcious of eavesdroppers. Who knew what kind of magic they had to listen in to their conversations.

ooc: I'm not too sure. I've already pmed everyone and no one responded.

"It's tomorrow, according to Alice." Rosalie said answering Emmett's question, although she didn't look at him directly when she answered. She was still a bit miffed at his earlier disapperance. "We need to prepare." She said, tensing slightly as she thought she heard a noise in the trees.

Hermione stifled a gasp, covering her mouth as she stood behind a few trees, hidden underneath Harry's invisibility cloak and a Concealment charm casted around her. The information she had found out earlier had all been accurate then. They really were a coven of vampires that were here to fight Voldemort with them.

The brunette still couldn't believe this. Vampires, were here at their school! It was a weird thought and sight to see.

ooc: What shall we do, than? I obviously can't be her, because I'm Edward, and that will create confusion on my part, otherwise I would be happy to be her.

Emmett growled. He heard something in the woods. He looked around him, yet he saw nothing, even with his enhanced eyes. "Who's there?" he called out, his eyes darting around. He turned to Jasper, raising his eyebrows at him. He shrugged. "And how are we supposed to do that? Like last time?"

"We should start yes." Jasper agreed with Rosalie. "But maybe we should wait for Edward and Bella?" He suggested, looking back at where they had came from. Where were they anyway?

Jasper cocked his head slightly. "How are we supposed to do what like last time?" He asked Emmett.

Jasper noticed the others tensing up. He hadn't heard anyting because he was thinking about the battle. It was when Emmet asked who was there, that he stood up. "It might be an animal. This forest is crawling with them I'm sure." He said.

He then became a bit suspicious too. He didn't want them to get caught by anyone .. human. That would lead to problems. Especially if they were the enemy. Jasper stared at the part of the woods where Emmet was looking. "Shall I go over there?" He whispered.
