Chapter Three, A new school:

On a cold wet morning of September, Andy was in the spacious kitchen cooking breakfast for everyone whilst talking to Artemis as she sat at the table, watching as Teddy fed himself a bottle.

"How are you feeling Arte dear?" Andy questioned turning away from the stove to peer at Artemis who was paler than normal and had bags under eyes. Artemis set the now empty bottle on the table before answering.

"I'm alright Andy just a bit tired as Teddy was up half the night and this little one kept kicking me." Artemis replied.

Andy frowned, "That's not like Teddy. And are you alright do you feel sick?" Artemis smiled at Andy's concern.

"I feel fine at the moment Andy, but I might take a potion to school just in case. And Teddy's teething as he's getting a top tooth and I think its cause he's in a new environment as well. Andy could you please pass me the teething syrup and a bowl with a Weetabix in it please?" Artemis asked.

"Of course Arte. You are doing a fantastic job with Teddy, Remus and Dora would be proud as well as your parents. I know I am, and so are Sirius and Arthur." Andy smiled as she flicked her wand so the eggs, sausages and bacon wouldn't burn while she made Teddy's breakfast and brought it over with the teething syrup.

"Thanks Andy." Artemis said as she spread the cool syrup onto Teddy's gums making Teddy happier as his gums stopped hurting as Artemis fed him with a loving smile on her face.

As Andy watched Artemis she knew she had nothing to worry about where her grandson was concerned and knew Artemis was going to be a fantastic mother to both her baby as well as Teddy.

"Arte dear, I'm on my way to wake up the others I'll put the potion into your bag for you and what would you like to eat?" Andy asked.

"Thanks Andy. I'll just have a bowl of Weetabix and a glass of orange juice please." Artemis replied.

Andy smiled and put the aforementioned breakfast down in front of Artemis, who smiled in thanks at her as she put Teddy into his baby walker. Andy flicked her wand at the stove for the food dish up and then for the pans to clean themselves up while she went to wake the others. Once everyone had eaten their breakfast and gotten ready to go to work (Arthur, Andy and Sirius. Dobby was looking after Teddy) and to go to school they said goodbye to Teddy and to Dobby though Artemis stayed a bit longer.

"Bye Teddy. Be good for Dobby and I'll see you later." Artemis said kissing Teddy on the head and giving him one last hug before placing him into his playpen. "Bye Mummy." Teddy said though his bottom lip started to tremble.

"Don't worry Miss Artemis Potter-Black. Dobby will take good care of him Miss." Dobby said.

Artemis smiled at her old friend and hugged him before putting on her black ballet flats and straightening her light green dress.

"I know you will Dobby and thank you." Artemis said gratefully before waving good bye and going out of the front door and shutting it behind her.

Artemis was wearing a light green short- sleeved dress that came to her knees, tan coloured tights, black ballet flats and a black shrug cardigan. She had her long waist-length hair hanging in loose curls though the sides where clipped back with her lily clip and her slanting fringe covered her lightning bolt scar, she was also wearing very fine eye shadow and mascara.

As she reached the garage she saw that they were all waiting for her and that George was holding her bag for her.

"Pup," Sirius said gently pulling Artemis into a hug. "How are you feeling? Andy has put some extra potions in your bag in case you feel sick, and I have let your Headmaster know that you're pregnant because you were raped but he has sworn not to tell anyone I promise, I had to let them know in case you were taken ill or you needed to rest and so that they didn't make you go to gym."

"It's alright dad, I understand and I feel fine at the moment the baby has finally settled down instead of kicking me, but I may take a potion when we get to school. When did you let the Headmaster know?" Artemis asked curiously. Sirius smiled at his adopted daughter and kissed her head.

"I let him know yesterday when I went and enrolled you, Fred and George into the school. And I want you to promise me that if you feel ill you'll either call me, Arthur or Andy and we'll come and pick you up. And do you have your wand on you?" Sirius said sternly.

"I will dad. And yes, my wand is in an inside pocket of my bag." Artemis said giving Sirius a hug and a kiss on the cheek before moving to Arthur and Andy to give them a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

She then turned to George to take her bag to get her car keys out and unlock the door, she waved by to Sirius, Arthur and Andy before climbing into her car belting herself in and started the ignition, out of the mirror she saw Fred jinxing George so he couldn't move and ran to the car and climbed into the front passenger seat.

"That was cruel Gred." Artemis said with a fond smile on her face as Fred just shrugged grinning as he belted himself in. Artemis rolled her eyes before rolling down the window and pointing her wand at George and performing the counter jinx before returning her wand to the inside pocket in her bag and passing it to Fred, who put her bag into the back with his own as his brother climbed into the back with a scowl on his face as he belted himself in. Once George was strapped in, Artemis turned on the car stereo where her new iPod was that Sirius had brought her and picked 'Necessity by Oliver Boyd and The Rememberalls', and started to pull out of the garage and drove to school. Along the way, all she could see was forest, and a lot of it. Artemis smiled, remembering how much she loved wandering around in a forest in the daytime and how peaceful it was.

After a fifteen minute drive Artemis pulled into the schools parking lot and parked opposite was a silver Volvo where a group of the most beautiful teenagers she had ever seen where standing around it, and it was then that Artemis remembered Sirius telling her that there was a Coven of vampire's here that drank animal blood, as well as a pack of werewolves and smiled as she turned off the ignition and took her iPod out of the doc and passed it to Fred who put it into her bag for her before continuing with his argument with George as they got out of the car. Artemis shook her head at them and pulled her keys out.

But as Artemis opened the door, she was suddenly hit with a wave of dizziness and her stomach started to churn as though she was going to be sick and clutched tightly to the steering wheel. Gasping as she bowed her head trying to stop herself from being sick, she then heard Fred and George shouting her name and rushing round to her car door and opened it, kneeling in front of her with a worried frown adorning his face. They didn't notice that the group opposite them was looking at them concerned especially the tall handsome, honey-blond, muscular boy, who was being held back by his brothers.

"Artemis? Are you okay?" Fred asked concerned as he placed an arm on her shoulder and started rubbing her arm as she shook her head swallowing the bile that rose up in her mouth.

"N-no I feel sick and a bit dizzy." Artemis said softly taking small shallow breaths. Fred and George looked at each other before looking back at Artemis.

"Arte? Where's your medicine?" George asked quickly, while rubbing circles on Artemis' back.

"In my bag." Artemis replied, as George quickly stood up and opened the back door of the car and snatched her bag off the back seat and started looking for the potion. Once he had found it he put her bag onto the floor and rushed back to her taking the stopper off as he went.

"Artemis. Once you sit up you can drink this and you'll feel better." George said as his brother helped her sit back in her seat. Once she was sitting comfortably George handed her the potion which Artemis took gladly and downed it in one then handed the vial back to George who put it into a nearby bin.

After a few minutes Artemis felt better and was able to climb out of the car.

"Are you okay now Arte?" Fred asked as his brother got the bags out of the car as Artemis locked it and turned back to face her concerned 'brothers'.

"I feel fine now. It was just morning sickness but thank you." Artemis smiled brightly at her 'brothers' and took her bag off of George and started to walk around her car when she looked at the group of people around the silver Volvo looking at her concerned, she smiled brightly at them and it was when she looked at the handsome honey-blond muscular boy and their eyes locked that she felt a pull in her chest and her veela side started jumping and screaming that she had found her true mate that it made her gasp and Fred and George rush over to her in concern.

"Arte!? What's the matter?" They asked drawing Artemis back to the present and turned away from her mate and looked at Fred and George.

"Nothing, my mate is over there." Artemis said quietly as she nodded over to the group staring at them. Fred looked over at the group and turned on 'protective brother mode'

"Which one?" Fred asked eyeing all of the males in the group making Artemis roll her eyes as she recognized that Fred had gone into 'protective brother mode' and rolled her eyes as she looked at George to see he had gone into the exact same mode as his brother.

"It's the hands... I mean the honey-blond one." Artemis faltered as Fred and George turned to look at her with raised eyebrows.

"Well, he has to prove himself, that he actually loves you and will always protect you, take care of you as well as treating Teddy and our niece or nephew like they were his own, as you'll always put them first, and that he respects you. And if he ever hurts you and I don't mean turning you I mean breaking your heart or hurting you I will rip him to pieces and set the pieces on fire." Fred ranted quietly knowing they will be able to hear him as he and George also knew they were vampires that drank animal blood.

"FRED!" Artemis said shocked, but George interrupted her.

"Fred is right Artemis and I'll help him. You're our little sister and we don't want you to get hurt like what Ron did to you and if he did hurt you Sirius, dad and Andy will be much, much worse than us even when they tell him what will happen if he ever hurt you." George said and then turned to look at Artemis' mate and completely ignored what appeared to be his family. "Do we make ourselves clear?" George whispered knowing him and his family will hear him plain as day, which was confirmed when Artemis' mate nodded.

"Good." Fred said before turning away. Artemis looked at her mate and smiled shyly at him before whispering

"Sorry about them." And she smiled happily when he smiled at her and beamed back at him before turning back to Fred and George to hear them messing around she shook her head with a fond smile on her face and she listened to what they were arguing about this time.

"I'm sitting up front on the way home as you cheated just to get the front seat." George argued.

"Did not lil' bro and any way I'm the oldest so I get the front seat." Fred said.

"You did cheat, and anyway I'm better looking than you." George argued.

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!" George argued back but as Fred went to ague back Artemis had had enough and slapped the pair of them around the back of the head (albeit she had to stand on her toes to do so).

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP?" Artemis shouted placing her hands on her hip and glaring at Fred and George as they smirked at her. "You two are worse than Teddy and he is just over a year old."

"Well dear little Artekins! The only reason we were arguing was to get you to stop staring at your mate." Fred said smirking, but stopped when Artemis punched him on the shoulder and when she heard George laughing at his brother she punched him on his shoulder, making them pout at her which just made her laugh. When Fred and George heard their 'sister' laugh they smiled at each other as if too to say mission accomplished and started laughing with her. After Artemis had finished laughing she hugged Fred and George and thanked them before walking towards the office with the twins following behind her. Once they had entered the office they walked where a woman was sitting shifting through papers.

"Yes?" She asked without looking up.

"Er...we're the new exchange students from England. I'm Artemis Potter-Black and these are Fred and George Weasley." Artemis said nervously rubbing her stomach as her baby had just started kicking again as if it knew she was nervous. The woman behind the desk looked up at them curiously making Artemis shift on her feet before the woman answered.

"Ah, yes your father Mr. Black was here yesterday enrolling you all." She said as she started shifting through the drawers before coming back over with nine pieces of paper.

"Now you all have a map of the school, a time table and a slip that you have to get all of your teachers to sign today and bring it back to me at the end of the day. And my name is Miss Benson. Now Miss Potter-Black your first period is American History, second Calculus, third Art then lunch and Biology and then Gym. I know you cannot do gym but you still need to get your slip signed by your teacher and then you can go and sit in the library. And your time table tells you what building and classroom your lessons are in." Miss Benson said handing Artemis what she needed before turning to the twins. "Now you two have Government, Calculus, English, lunch, Biology and Gym. She said handing the twins their slips. "Have a nice day." She said as Artemis, Fred and George left.

Once they were outside Fred and George sighed in relief. "I thought she was never going to shut up." George said making Artemis and Fred laugh as the bell went signalling that the first lesson was about to start. Artemis hugged Fred and George before looking at her time table to see where she had American History which turned out to be in building two.

"Bye Fred, bye George I have American History now in building two. I'll see you next lesson." Artemis said as Fred and George nodded and they walked away to their class, and Artemis walked into building two.

Jasper's P.O.V.:

I was standing with my siblings by Edward's Silver Volvo, looking around with fake disinterest while really I was looking to see if my mate would be in today. I thought it was her father that came in yesterday and asked me where the office was so he could enrol his daughter and his friend's sons.

"Jasper? What are you doing?" Rosalie hissed. I looked at her before turning back around to look at the entry to the car park.

"Waiting for my mate to make sure she is okay." I said ignoring Edward's thoughts telling me to calm down and Rosalie's feelings of boredom and contempt. As I was looking at the entrance I saw a new car start to pull in, a red Citroën DS4 to be exact and I watched as it parked opposite us and two red-headed identical twin males got out of the car arguing about one of them cheating about sitting in the front seat of the car, but when they noticed that the driver (which I hoped was my mate) didn't get out of the car they became concerned and shouted, "Artemis" before rushing around to the driver's side of the car.

I became immediately concerned as I saw that my mate, my Artemis had her head bowed and looked like she was trying not to be sick, I started walking forward but instantly felt arms on both of mine pulling me back. I turned around and saw that Edward and Emmett were pulling me back away from my mate I snarled at them and tried to pull my arms out of their grip.

"Let me go!" I hissed at them.

"I want to make sure she is okay!" But my brothers just shook their heads and continued to pull me back so I was reduced to watch in concern as one of the red-headed twins rushed to the back of the car and pulled out my mate's bag and started searching through it and pulled out a glass vial with a liquid inside of it that was a green-blue colour. He pulled the stopper off of it and handed it to my mate after his brother had helped my mate sit back, and told her to down it in one. After a few minutes, though it felt like forever to me, my mate climbed out of the car and I saw her for the first time and she took my unneeded breath away. She was beautiful, she had a heart-shaped face that was framed by waist-long black hair that looked naturally wavy and the sides were clipped up with a Lily clip, she was also wearing very light make up and had the brightest green eyes I had ever seen they looked like emeralds.

She was wearing tan tights with black flats that covered her small feet and a short-sleeved light green dress that reached her knees and showed her growing baby bump and a black shrug cardigan that was open at the front. She had a small lithe body that looked like an hour-glass figure and I could see some lithe muscles on her that she seemed to of gotten from sport even if she was pregnant she looked radiant and she was all mine. I then noticed that Mike Newton was staring at my mate as well as his other friends and there was lust rolling off of them, making me growl and Emmett and Edward tightened their grips on my arms to stop me from going over and attacking them for thinking that about my mate. "Jazz calm down." Edward hissed.

"How can I calm down Edward when they're looking at my mate like that?" I hissed back, but I turned to watch my mate and saw that she was looking at us, then her gaze turned to look directly at me and she gasped making the red-headed twins rush to her side in concern. But as she looked at me she seemed deep in thought and I felt recognition and happiness coming off of her making me smile it seemed that whatever she was, as I knew she wasn't human, had recognized me as her mate and I felt a pull in my chest it was as if, just with one glance at my mate, my heart had started beating again.

I also felt the vampire jumping around inside me screaming that my mate was across the car park and that thought made me smile.

"Ed? What's Arte thinking?" I asked shocking my family that I was already using the nickname that the two redheads used but I didn't care I had found my mate and I couldn't wait to get to know her, I was pulled out of my thoughts as my mate started talking again her voice sounding like a soft song.

"I don't know." Edward replied with a look of confusion and frustration on his face. "I can't hear her thoughts. Or the red-headed twins' either." I couldn't bring myself to care at this moment, in fact I was glad as it meant Edward couldn't read my mates thoughts and even though Edward was my 'brother' it didn't mean I wanted him to read her thoughts.

"Nothing, my mate is over there." She said quietly, nodding over to us. The twins looked over at us, eyeing me, Edward and Emmett before asking my mate, "Which one?" My mate rolled her eyes at the pair of them before answering. "The hands... I mean the honey-blond one." She faltered making me smile, Emmett to start sniggering and for the twins to turn away from us to look at my mate with raised eyebrows.

"Well, he has to prove himself, that he actually loves you and will always protect you, take care of you as well as treating Teddy and our niece or nephew like they were his own, as you'll always put them first, and that he respects you. And if he ever hurts you and I don't mean turning you I mean breaking your heart or hurting you I will rip him to pieces and set the pieces on fire." I heard the oldest twin say.

"FRED!" Artemis said shocked, but the younger twin interrupted her.

"Fred is right Artemis and I'll help him. You're our little sister and we don't want you to get hurt like what Ron did to you and if he did hurt you Sirius, dad and Andy will be much, much worse than us even when they tell him what will happen if he ever hurt you." he said and then turned to look at me and completely ignored my family. "Do we make ourselves clear?" he whispered knowing I and my family will hear him plain as day, which was confirmed when I nodded.

"Good." Fred said before turning away. Artemis looked at me and smiled shyly at me before whispering

"Sorry about them." I smiled at her and in return she beamed back at me before turning back to the twins who I now knew that one was called Fred while the other's name still remained a mystery, to hear them messing around she shook her head with a fond smile on her face and she listened to what they were arguing about this time.

"I'm sitting up front on the way home as you cheated just to get the front seat." The younger twin argued.

"Did not lil' bro and any way I'm the oldest so I get the front seat." Fred said.

"You did cheat, and anyway I'm better looking than you." The younger twin argued. And they continued to argue about who was the better looking until Artemis slapped them both around the back of their heads (albeit she had to stand on her toes to do so which Emmett found funny and said my mate was as short as Alice and only shut up when I glared at him).

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP?" Artemis shouted placing her hands on her hip and glaring at the twins as they smirked at her. "You two are worse than Teddy and he is just over a year old."

"Well dear little Artekins! The only reason we were arguing was to get you to stop staring at your mate." Fred said smirking, but stopped when Artemis punched him on the shoulder and when she heard his twin laughing at his brother she punched him on his shoulder, making them pout at her which just made her laugh. When the two twins heard their 'sister' laugh they grinned at each other as if to say mission accomplished. After Artemis had finished laughing she hugged them and thanked them before walking towards the school with the twins following behind her. I smiled as I watched her retreating figure.

"Wow... she's a feisty little one." Emmett commented, thumping me on the back, I glared back at him, before turning back to look at her but I could no longer see her.

I murmured, "Yeah she is." Emmett sniggered and I heard a loud connection and instantly knew that Rosalie had slapped him around his head.

So after what seemed like forever, they left the office and we heard her say that she had American History, the same lesson as me, I grinned and felt like jumping up and down in excitement and as the bell rang I said a hurried goodbye to my siblings and rushed off to my first lesson, even from the end of the corridor I could still hear Emmett chuckle. As I entered the class I could see my mate sitting at the desk at the back of the class, where I usually sit. I moved towards my table but heard the door to the class open, I turned round as I felt the powerful lust rolling off of Mike Newton, I struggled to control a snarl as he began to move over to Arte. I moved over to my table and blocked Newton's approach, "Leave her alone Newton." I growled threateningly, glaring at him with such a force that he paled.

"Back off Hale! You can't tell me what to do!" Mike retorted. He went to move around me, but I stepped in front of him blocking him again. He raised his arm and went to punch me but I grabbed his sleeved arm and held it there, glaring at him. I could feel not only the lust for Arte but the fear of me rolling off him now as I stared into his eyes, anger and fury clear on my face.

The rusty tang of blood filled my nostrils and my eyes fixed on Newton's neck where I was sure I could hear his blood pulsing through his veins. 'Just one bite no one will notice.' I thought my mouth watering at the thought of draining this insolent pest dry. Out of the corner of my eyes I noticed Arte standing beside me as she rested a hand on my shoulder, calming me instantly with her sweet aroma of wisteria and the soothing smell of jasmine, I instantly began to want more. My head spun with the sweet scent as it invaded my system, paralyzing all my senses. I turned to look at her beautiful angelic face, her naturally bright red lips, her emerald eyes and dark hair. I smiled back at her as she smiled and slowly shook her head at me, barely noticeable.

"Mr. Hale, Mr. Newton stop fighting and sit down immediately!" Mr. Barner yelled as he entered the classroom. I released my grip from Newton's arm and he pulled back the sleeve, I winced at the sight of bruises that I had made on his arm.

"Sorry, Newton." I mumbled he glared at me before muttering, "This isn't over Hale." I shrugged my shoulders and called after him, "I look forward to it!" I sat down next to Arte and she watched me carefully.

"You're Artemis Potter-Black. The new girl?" I asked, unsure of how to explain that I knew her name, but she didn't ask.

"Yes." She replied, smiling at me, possibly in the hope that we could be friends, but we both knew that in the end we would turn out to be more than friends.

"Hello, I'm Jasper Hale." I said.

"I saw you in the parking lot, with your..." she started but she trailed off.

"My family, yes. My two older brothers Edward and Emmett. And my two older sisters Alice and Rosalie." I said. Artemis smiled and nodded at me. We trailed off as the class started. She began to rummage through her bag nervously as though searching for something. She bit her bottom lip and I could feel the worry emanating from her. "You okay?" I asked, watching her, neither of us paying attention to the class.

"I've lost it!" she cried the worry clear in her voice now.

"What?" I asked, slightly confused.

"My slip! I had it earlier and I put it in my bag." She said, pulling items out of her bag, I looked at one of the books she pulled out of her bag, the title read: Casual Vacancy. Half way into the book, I noticed a slip of paper sticking out of the book; I carefully flicked the book open to that page and pulled the slip out.

"Is this it?" I asked, holding the slip out to her. She took it in her delicate hands.

"Yes!" she said, "Thank you so much. Where was it?"

"In your book." I said, indicating the open book. She smiled and shook her head, her dark waves cascading down her back, so that it looked like a dark sea. Beautiful was the only word that fitted but even that didn't seem enough to describe her. She hugged me, I could feel the envy from Newton as she did so, and made to get up, but sat back with a gasp, clutching her stomach.

"I'll take it." I whispered, taking the slip from her before she could argue, and took it up to Mr. Barner, explaining that it was for Arte as it was her first day here. He nodded and hurriedly signed it, giving it back to me where I rushed back to give it back to Arte.

"Thank you." She whispered her face paler than before. I glanced at her concerned as she slumped back in her seat.

"So how did you come to be in Forks then?" I asked her, in the hope that I might be able to take her mind of the nausea, at least until the end of the lesson.

She ducked her head, taking big gulps of air before sitting upright again, "My father moved us as there was too many bad memories and to protect me."

"Protect you? Why?" I asked concerned for her safety and also as to why she needed protection.

"From the Death Eaters, as I am a witch and I'm also half Veela." She said.

"Death Eaters?" I asked, still not following her entirely.

"Evil witches and wizards bent on killing me as I killed their master, Lord Voldemort." She replied, I don't know why but hearing this Voldemort's name sent shivers running through me.

"Why did he want to kill you?" I asked.

"There was a magical war going on in England, and only I could end it. It first started eighteen years ago when I was a baby; my parents were murdered in front of me by Voldemort. I alone survived, my home was destroyed and my parents d-d-died... The only thing I was left with was this." She said, pulling back her side fringe and showing me the thin scar in the shape of a lightning bolt, on the right side of her forehead. I reached a hand up and touched the scar and she smiled at me sadly, before letting her side fringe drop to cover it again. My fist clenched tightly on the desk, my fingernails digging dents into the wood, she took my face in her hands and shook her head again, calming me again.

I unclenched my fist, the thought that someone would harm her, was absurd. But it was true as I could feel the sadness emanating from her into me, mixing with my emotions. The bell rang and we jumped, neither of us had paid any attention to the lesson. I stood, shoving my stuff into my bag, and then turned to help her up. Her face paled as she swayed on her feet and I held onto her arm, holding her steady. I picked her bag up and carried it for her, she turned to face me and whispered quietly, "Where's the nearest bathroom?" I led her along the crowded corridors until we reached the girl's bathroom; I gave her, her bag and told her that I would be waiting outside for her. She came out a few minutes later, looking a little bit better than she had done before. "Ready?" I asked, and she nodded. I led her along the corridors to Calculus.

The day past by and I suddenly found myself in the art room with Arte at the easel beside me, painting a picture of a large snowy owl. It looked so lifelike. I glanced at my easel and noticed that it was completely blank, I had been so transfixed by her skill that I had forgot to paint anything myself. "That's a very good painting." I commented.

"Thanks." She whispered, avoiding eye contact with me. My brow furrowed in concern, for her.
"What's wrong?" I asked turning her to face me; tears were glimmering in her emerald eyes.

"It's a picture of my pet snowy owl Hedwig; she died in the war, shot with a killing curse by the Death Eaters." She replied, tears beginning to roll down her cheeks. I pulled her into me, hugging her. 'Another reason to hate those blasted Death Eaters, if they come near my Arte I will drain them dry then rip them apart and burn the pieces.' The bell rang again and I grabbed the two easels, my blank one and her owl painting before leading her out of the art room and into the lunch hall.

"Why don't you come and sit with me and my family? That way you can get to know them. That's... that's if you want to I mean." I muttered awkwardly, I swear that if my stone cold skin could, I would have been blushing.

"Sure." She said blushing, and I began to lead her towards the table where my family and I normally sat at mealtimes. Just then Fred and his younger twin appeared in front of us.

"Where are you going?!" Fred and his twin demanded, blocking our path. Over the top of their shoulders I noticed my family look up.

"Fred, George! It's okay. I'm just going to sit with Jasper at the table with his family." Arte said, calmly. Fred and George glared at me with such a force of suspicion that it shocked me.

"Okay. But we are coming too." Fred and George said, I nodded and walked on towards the table as Arte turned round to Fred and George and muttered, "Be nice." I reached the table where my family was sitting and Emmett brought over three more chairs, for Arte, Fred and George. I sat Arte in one and sat beside her with Fred and George on the other side, ready to whisk her away from us if need be. I handed her the painting she did in art class and Fred and George looked at it in awe. "That's fantastic Arte. It's Hedwig that's for sure." They said, as she smiled modestly.

"I'd like to introduce my family." I said, "That's Emmett, Edward, Alice and Rosalie." I indicated each person in turn.

"Hello." Artemis murmured nervously. Fred and George just looked at them and nodded curtly at them. Just then Bella and Jessica came over, "Why are you sitting here with them?" they asked Arte harshly, as though my family wasn't sitting here at all.

"Because I don't remember having to ask your permission to do anything," Arte snapped back.

"Also because I invited them," I said, my voice sounded a little strange as I was holding my breath and focusing on Artemis' aroma to stop myself from attacking the two girls. The two girls sneered back at Arte before saying, "What kind of stupid cow are you to be knocked up before you even get married?"

"Oi! That's enough! Leave our sister alone!" Fred and George yelled as Arte buried her head in her arms.

"Aww. Look the two ginger biscuits are sticking up for the slut!" Jessica and Bella said. Artemis leapt to her feet, anger burning like a flame inside her, burning until it consumed her completely. Everything in the room began to shake, windows shattered from the pressure and the lights flickered. In her anger Arte seemed to be glowing, her beauty and her Veela side shone through.

"LEAVE MY BROTHERS ALONE!" she yelled. I stood, as did Fred and George and the three of us tried to calm her down. "Arte. Arte, It's okay. Calm down." We said, until eventually the room stopped shaking. Alice stood and faced Jessica and Bella, the anger clear in her voice, normally Alice is dreamy and nice to everyone, "I suggest you leave. Quickly!"
Jessica and Bella didn't need to be told twice, they hurriedly moved away from the table. "Arte are you okay?" I asked I could feel the surprise and the eyes of all my family trained on me, surprised that I cared so much for her already. She nodded slowly, but I could feel the power of the hurt hidden by the facade.

"Are you sure?" Fred and George asked, watching her cautiously.

"Actually I feel a little sick." She said.

"I think it's time to call Andy." Fred said, while George nodded in agreement.

"We'll bring you the work from biology class to your house." Emmett said, while Edward nodded. Fred thanked them and wrote the address down and picked up their bags and started to phone Andy, as George helped Artemis out of the building.

Normal P.O.V.:

With each step she took her face became paler than ever, her head span with such a frequency that she was often unsteady on her feet. George held her steadily on her feet, as he helped her into the back of the car. Fred climbed into the front seat of the car, while George got in the back beside Arte. He threw their bags into the back and strapped her in, while Fred switched the engine on and began to drive out of the school's parking lot. Even with the small movement of the car Arte's face grew more pale and they had to stop several times for her to throw up, outside. Eventually they made it back to their house where Sirius, Arthur and Dobby were waiting outside for their arrival.

George slowly helped Arte out of the car, while Fred switched off the engine and grabbed their bags from the back of the car. Sirius came to help George get Arte inside while Dobby took their bags from Fred. Sirius led them into the potion room in the basement where Andy was waiting still in her hospital uniform, prepped with vials of multicoloured potions and her wand.

In the corner of the room stood a large cauldron and along the sides were numerous bookshelves full of books. Sirius led Arte over to a large black sofa at the back of the room and got her to lay down on it. Andy came over with a few vials and a book, ready to cast the diagnostic charm. Andy waved her wand a few times and a large bunch of white sparks, danced above Arte. She glowed purely with the power of the sparks before the spell was complete. As the spell completed, a parchment fell out of Andy's wand, she caught it as it fell and her eyes scanned quickly down the page.

"Arte, dear, I'm afraid you have the flu which is why you are being more sick than usual. You will have to stay here for a few days and rest, drinking lots of fluids and potions." Andy said.

"But I can't stay here resting for a few days my m..." Arte began but she stopped herself just in time as she was about to mention about Jasper being her mate. Sirius raised his eyebrows at his daughter but she didn't continue what she was saying, neither did he question her.

"You are to go straight to bed." Andy ordered sternly.

"But..." Arte argued.

"No buts. We will look after Teddy and phone your school. Fred and George can collect your work for you." Andy said, while Arte sighed. Fred and George looked at her and walked behind her on the stairs.

"Don't worry sis. We'll try to lose a few pieces of the work for you on the way home." They said with mischievous grins. Arte smiled before entering her bedroom.
