September first, it was once the most exciting day for Harry. He is given a reason to get away from his abusive relatives to go to the most magical school in the world where there are people who love him, his friends and godsister. But then each year gets darker until they were forced to face what seems to be a never ending war. This year is different.

As the new semester starts, Forks Highschool didn't expect three new students. Everyone's heads turned towards four cars. Two were owned by the Cullen, the Volvo and BMW, and the two were owned by unknown people, at least for most of the students' population.

Edward, Alice and Jasper stepped out of the Volvo while Rosalie and Emmett did the same from the blonde's convertible. But almost everyone gasped as Aquila stepped out of a black Bentley's passenger seat while a blonde teen wearing an emerald green turtleneck sweater and black jeans stepped out of the driver's car. A bespectacled boy, accompanied by a ginger boy and a brunette girl stepped out of the other car, a Maserati, and joined Aquila and the blonde boy.

Many whispered if Aquila already replaced Edward with this gorgeous looking blonde. A lot of the students were wondering who these new students are. They're undeniably good looking and obviously rich. A lot of girls are already planning on catching the ney boys' attention. A lot of boys wanted to ask the new girl and Aquila out. Their pathetic thoughts made Edward chuckle.

The Cullens joined the wizards and witches with Edward kissing Aquila on the forehead. The wizards and witches had been hanging out with the Cullens all summer. They have grown closer with each other. Jasper and Hermione shared the love for History. Ron and Emmett had been goofing around and playing games. Harry and Alice were suspiciously close and would often talk, mainly Alice catching Harry up with the gossip between Aquila and Edward. Rosalie and Draco shared the same internet when it comes to cars. Esme, Carlisle, Narcissa and Andromeda would often get together to spend time with Teddy.

Charlie was informed about the Cullen's true being. At first, he disapproved about Edward and Aquila's relationship, it was a good reason to finally hate Edward after not finding any fault about his perfect 'gentleman' actions before. But Andromeda was able to talk some sense to him after Edward told them that Aquila is his mate. With that knowledge, Charlie was reassured Edward would never do anything to hurt his niece. Plus the fact that Edward and the Cullens risked their lives to join Aquila in fighting at Hogwarts.

"Bella, do you know who those people are? They seem quite close with your cousin." Lauren asked with her eyes glued onto Draco.

"I don't know who they are." Bella said, trying to hide her irritation.

"Well, they're hot. It seems like Aquila and Edward are still together so it means the blonde that she is with and the others are free." Jessica stated. She and Mike had been on and off for a while. If she can snag one of Aquila's companions, it would be a win.

"Maybe they're as freakish as Aquila." Bella shrugged.

"Freakishly hot." Mike piped in as their group watched the Cullens and the new kids laughed with each other.

"Are these muggles seriously this shallow?" Hermione asked after Edward told them what the others were thinking.

"You can't fault them, Granger. I mean have you seen me?" Draco grinned smugly which made the others snicker while Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Has the chemicals reached your brain while you bleach your hair?" Hermione asked sassily which made Draco gasp dramatically.

"I do not bleach my hair!"

"You have been acting like a Black rather than a Malfoy lately, dear cousin.the dramatic expression is giving you away." Aquila said nudging him.

"But it's weird. First I became famous for being an orphan and surviving while my parents died. Now we're attracting a lot of attention just because we're new?" Harry asked as he shivered at the thought.

"Humans sucks." Ron stated which the others agreed.

"So Angela, do you know who the new kids are?" Lauren asked Angela and Jessica who Aquila invited to sit with her, the Cullens and the new kids.

"Yes. They're very nice. Draco Malfoy, the blonde guy is actually Aquila's cousin on her father's side. The boy with specs is Harry Potter, Aquila's godbrother. Then the ginger's name is Ron Weasley, he's then new girl's boyfriend. The new girl's name is Hermione Granger and they're great friends with Aquila because they've been studying in a boarding school together since they were eleven." Jessica gossiped as Angela shook her head.

"Why are you talking about them again? They were kind enough to befriend us and here you are, talking behind their backs." Angela scolded.

"They're very intriguing, okay." Jessica tried to defend herself which made Angela shake her head in disappointment.

Make them do your bidding through blackmailing them.

That's what Bella and Victoria's first step in achieving their goal. Bella must find a certain control and power over the Cullens. She confidently strutted towards the table where the Cullens, the new kids and her cousins are. She stood in front of them which made them stop their conversation.

"Can we help you, Bella?" Aquila asked genuinely polite.

"I don't think the new kids would like to hear about what the Cullens are hiding. I just want you to know that I know. Now if you don't want me to slip up and blur out your little secret to everyone, you will have to do the things I say." Bella said smugly which made them glare at her.

"Are you serious mental? You're actually doing this in school, in the middle of lunch, in the cafeteria? That's very disrespectful, mate." Ron said exasperatedly. He could never fathom how Charlie could father this creature.

"Ron, hush. Let me do the talking." Aquila smiled sweetly at Ron while winking at the Cullens and the others. "Bella dear, I don't fancy hearing you threaten my boyfriend and his family by some information you heard from a give dollar VooDoo carnival witch." Aquila said loudly for the people around them to hear on purpose. Students started to whisper and snickering while looking at Bella.

This infuriated Bella. Her words' credibility would be questioned because of her cousin, a miscalculation she didn't expect. But then she didn't actually have to make the people believe her. She just had to convince the Cullens and Aquila of what she could do so she composed herself and held her head high. "I wouldn't be so sure about that, Aquila. A lot of people already saw them as something different. What I would say will give them confirmation about their theories. And small town narrow-mindedness' opinion about them can easily be affected by a small rumor."

The vampires who heard what Bella said clenched their jaws. The wizards and witch were unable to hear what Bella said because it was close to a whisper but their vampire friends visibly became affected by whatever Bella said. This ticked Draco Malfoy off. No one, I mean NO ONE should dare threaten him and the people he cares about, not that those people knew he actually cared. Alice smirked as she watch one of her visions plays while Edward copied her expression after reading the pixie vampire's thoughts.

Draco stood up, his composture eerily similar to his father's intimidating stand. "I believe I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He said as he held his hand out. This made Bella flustered.

"Bella Swan." She said, still dazed at the blonde's aristocratic ethereal looks, accepting his hand.

Draco used this chance to pull her close which caught her by surprise. For other bystanders, it'd look something from a teenage romantic coming of age themed movie. They were unaware of the tight grip of the Malfoy Lord, not too tight to leave a bruise but enough to send a warning.

"Please do refrain from threatening my friends and dearest cousin or I'll be forced to retaliate. If so, we wouldn't hold ourselves accountable for our future actions." Draco whispered.

Bella gulped and nodded. She walked away from them, still shaken. She knew she have to think of another way to control them. She could see how protective Draco and the others when in comes to Aquila and the Cullens and vise versa.

Draco sent the Cullens a smirk. They gave him a thankful smile. Their conversation resumed as if Bella Swan didn't just walked into their table and told them she knew their secret.

Aquila cursed internally. Unlike wizards and witches, one cannot obliviate a muggle twice in the span of a year. Their mental health will deteriorate with the certain amount of magic working onto their brain. It could cause a permanent mental damage, insanity, dimentia or it could have the same effect as a dementor sucking someone's soul leaving the host a living shell of a person.

Hermione knew what her best friend is thinking, and partially because she knew what would happen when you obliviate a muggle twice. That is one of the reasons why she didn't dare to approaching her parents after she obliviated herself from their memories. But unlike Bella who only had a part of her memories wiped, her parents were completely obliviated about her entire existence. There's no going back from there. Aquila and Hermione held each other's hands through instinct.

Edward read from Jasper's thoughts that Aquila is feeling bad, guilty and worried. He held her other hand and kissed the back of it, turning Aquila's attention towards him. She smiled at Edward and gave him a peck on the cheek to thank him.

They survived a war, a deranged aunt and a noseless murdered. Bella Swan wouldn't be their downfall.
