Fanfic / The Secret Keeper

The Secret Keeper and its sequels The Wisdom Seeker and The Justice Reaper is a The Twilight Saga/Harry Potter trilogy written by A. E. Giggle. A key element of this series is Bella becoming an Adaptational Badass, based on the idea that her social issues in canon are the result of her being a muggle-born witch who spent her teen years at Hogwarts until Voldemort’s rise to power and Dumbledore’s death prompted her to move back to the States for her own safety. The series begins when Bella is summoned back to Hogwarts for the final battle and invites the Cullens to join her, continues with the Cullens being invited to Hogwarts to learn more about the wizarding world, and concludes with a storyline exploring Bella’s wedding, pregnancy, and transformation into a vampire.

---

The Secret Keeper and its sequels contain examples of:

• Adaptational Badass: In contrast to her meek canon self, Bella is a skilled witch with a speciality in transfiguration and a ruthless reputation when playing Quidditch; her issues at Forks are attributed to her being socially removed from the other students so that she doesn’t understand what they’re talking about outside of lessons, as well as the educational gap as she hasn’t studied in a muggle school since she was eleven.
• Adaptational Heroism: Bella and the Cullens are shown actively helping others rather than just acting in self-defence against threats targeting them specifically, and Bella also reveals that her would-be rapists were later taken to the local police station by Edward and Carlisle; one of them has been extradited back to Texas and is now on death row for similar assaults.
• All Myths Are True: By the time the Cullens see the totems and the abatwa at the Quidditch World Cup, Rosalie in particular has concluded that the only thing that can truly be considered ‘mythic’ any more is the meaning of the word.
• All Your Powers Combined: The origin of the vampire appears to be an example of this, with the most popular theory of their origin stating that the first vampire was created when a mass of poisonous creatures ingested a love potion by accident and all of them attacked the object of their ‘affection’ at once.
• Almighty Mom: When Edward learns that the Volturi will attack the Cullens to kill his and Bella’s daughter, he reflects that only such a threat could drive Bella to the power and rage necessary for her to kill the Volturi.
• Americans Hate Tingle: In-universe; as in canon, Americans aren’t great fans of Quidditch, prompting some disappointment from Emmett that there isn’t an American team for him to support.
• Announcer Chatter: Emmett demonstrates this when he becomes the Quidditch commentator, the fic demonstrating his efforts for the Gryffindor/Ravenclaw and Gryffindor/Slytherin matches.
• An Arm and a Leg: During the Battle of Hogwarts, at one point Bella cuts off a Death Eater’s hand, thus gaining the allegiance of his wand.
• Animal Motif: Bella takes it personally when she finds a wasp’s nest hanging outside her tent, as she is a fan of the Appleby Arrows, whose main rivals are the Wimbourne Wasps.
• Artistic Licence – Biology: Vampires can be affected by potions so long as an appropriate amount of blood is added to the recipe, and drinking the blood of magical creatures such as dragons restores their original eye-colour as opposed to them having the familiar red, black or gold eyes. Sufficient amounts of magical blood even allow vampires to get drunk, although they experience a more drawn-out hangover afterwards.
• Ascended Extra:
  • Bella briefly takes ‘command’ of the other students at Hogwarts while Harry, Ron and Hermione are off trying to find the horcruxes, and the sphinx later tells Edward, Jasper and Emmett that Bella is destined to be the next major player in the wizarding world after Harry, as she will take down the Volturi.
  • In Justice Reaper, it is revealed that Viola Knight, the new Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team (brought in alongside Bella and Ginny), has become the new captain after Harry, Ron, Ginny and Bella graduated.
• Atlantis: Atlantis was a wizarding city that sunk itself on purpose to escape attention from the muggles after the Trojan War.
• Awesome Underwater World: Edward and Bella take part in a tour of Atlantis for their honeymoon.
• Barehanded Blade Block: An example of this dealing with blunt instruments; Bella deflects a bludger with her bare fist to win her final quidditch game despite this breaking her hand in the process, with Emmett proclaiming this bold move ‘the Hand of Swan’.
• Battle Couple: Applies far more keenly to Bella and Edward this time around, with Bella’s magic allowing her to fight alongside the vampire Edward.
• Berserk Button:
  • As in canon, Bella takes threats to Edward more personally than threats to herself, to the extent that she makes it clear that her turning Sam and Leah into pigs is intended as a warning against them trying to attack Edward in future, even though the two wolves tore her throat open in their last encounter.
  • When Romilda Vane temporarily doses Edward with a love potion, the Cullens are all only restrained from causing serious damage to Romilda because they recognise that she isn't worth it.
• Blood Knight:
  • Emmett is always eager for a new chance at a fight, to the extent that he has to be warned against trying to challenge a dragon as they’re considered endangered species.
  • Edward, Jasper and Emmett all show their enthusiasm for combat when they revel in the opportunity to fight with Voldemort’s allied werewolves.
  • Bella surprisingly demonstrates this tendency during quidditch matches, often tricking her opponents into crashing by distracting them at key moments and breaking her own hand to win her final game by punching a bludger.
• Boisterous Bruiser: Emmett is always up for a good fight, although his actions suggest a slight fear of the acromantulas (albeit in the sense that he’s more desperate to destroy them quickly than being actually afraid to attack them).
• Brought Down to Badass: Applies in a sense to the Cullens; thanks to various potions, they are able to go to the beach and appear perfectly normal without shining in the sunlight, although they retain their strength.
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday:
  • When a stolen potion turns Bella and Hermione into two-year-old girls on the first day back at Hogwarts, McGonagall's immediate reaction (as read in her thoughts by Edward) is that at least nobody was turned into a ferret this time, leaving Edward somewhat bemused that his fiancé becoming a toddler for the rest of the evening/night isn't a big deal (although he does concede that the ferret transformation would have been worse).
  • When Seth arrives in St Mungo’s, he is basically subject to this when he sees a man with literal cauliflower ears and the man shrugs it off with the explanation that he had a row with his wife.
• Christmas Episode: One chapter exclusively focuses on the Cullens enjoying Christmas with their new magical resources.
• Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: It would appear that Bella basically took Alicia Spinnet’s place on the Gryffindor Quidditch team in her second year, to the extent that Alicia is never mentioned in the series.
• Comically Missing the Point: At least one wizard assumes that references to the ‘World Wide Web’ is actually a reference to a vast network of spiders’ webs as they misunderstand the true nature of the Internet.
• "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Ron is annoyed when Bella and Hermione realise that vampire venom may be able to destroy horcruxes; he explicitly expresses frustration that he and Hermione had to go all the way down to the Chamber of Secrets to get a basilisk fang when they could have just asked one of the Cullens to bite the cup.
• Cute Bruiser: Obviously applies to Alice in particular, but a human example is also seen in Amicus Fortison, a young Gryffindor student who befriends the Cullens prior to the Battle of Hogwarts. Amicus goes on to become one of the Gryffindor quidditch team’s new Beaters despite his small size creating the impression he’d be better suited for another position.
• Damsel in Distress: Basically subverted once Bella reveals her magic to the Cullens; the only reason Victoria’s campaign against her still takes place is that Bella was dealing with the emotional trauma of the Battle of Hogwarts and didn’t want to risk revealing her magic to a vampire as dangerous as Victoria if the Cullens couldn’t guarantee killing her.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Bron, a wizard who has hunted vampires since a vampire killed his wife on their wedding night, eventually allows Edward to read his mind to learn about his past, which reveals (among other things) that the vampire that killed Bron’s wife was James.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Rosalie in particular gets this, as various potions allow her to appear more human, while her time at Hogwarts, with everyone aware of her true nature and accepting her regardless, lets her experience the closest thing to a ‘normal’ life she’s had since she became a vampire.
• Didn't Think This Through: The Cullens, particularly Bella, accuse Romilda Vane of this when she used a love potion on Edward, pointing out that Edward isn't a cuddly golden-eyed teddy bear but a vampire who could have easily killed Romilda if they went too far and would have caused her great pain when he tried to turn her.
• Drama-Preserving Handicap:
  • Victoria’s campaign against Bella still takes place without her learning about magic because Bella was both trying to keep her abilities secret and the emotional trauma of the Battle of Hogwarts left Bella’s magic in an unpredictable state until she could process everything on her own.
  • The sphinx reveals that there is a cure for vampirism, but it would require the specific antidote for every single venom that was mixed together to create the original vampire, and many of those antidotes no longer exist as the species that made them have gone extinct.
• Dreaming of Things to Come: It is confirmed that Bella’s dreams of the future were legitimate predictions, to the extent that she spent some time at Hogwarts dreaming about Edward’s eyes long before she met him, and later has a dream about Rosalie that includes clocks showing the exact time Rosalie’s heart stopped beating after she was turned when it’s impossible for Bella to know that information on her own. Bella's dreams also include dreaming of Renesmee and a little boy that Edward later speculates will be Emmett and Rosalie's son.
• Erotic Dream: Edward has several of these about Bella after the Cullens are given a potion that lets them sleep.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • Despite Bella’s traditional discomfort at receiving gifts, she shows no hesitation at expressing her joy when Edward gives her a Firebolt; his siblings observe that Edward’s prior problem was that he wasn’t looking for the right mode of transportation to impress her.
  • When a group of the remaining Death Eaters break into Hogwarts, one of their goals was to kill Draco Malfoy for his parents’ roles in Voldemort’s defeat, but they fail to convince any of Draco’s housemates to torture him to ‘avenge’ the losses of their own parents as the other students all accept that Draco isn’t responsible for that.
• Fantastic Racism: When Emmett asks why Voldemort never tried to become a vampire as a means of pursuing immortality, Bella muses that at least part of it was Voldemort’s own belief in his own superiority over non-humans, as well as him not wanting to do something so many other people had done.
• Fantastic Slurs: When the Cullens first learn the meaning of ‘mudblood’ as a slur, Edward later makes it clear to some of the Slytherins that if they persist in insulting Bella with such a term, given his own appreciation of her blood, he will have little hesitation in sampling what they consider ‘superior cuisine’.
• The Fashionista: Alice is this as always, to the point that she expresses a willingness to pay thousands of dollars just for a particular dress they find in a wizarding tent (fortunately, the dress and others came as part of the cost of the tent itself).
• Fatal Flaw: While studying to become an animagus, Bella is troubled at her lack of self-awareness, prompting her to talk with Carlisle about that issue and explore his perception of her.
• Fingore: During Herbology, a Gluttony plant bites off Terry Boot's finger.
• For the Evulz: It is revealed that James killed the muggle wife of a wizard on the couple’s wedding night just because the wizard taunted him.
• Foregone Conclusion: In-narrative example; Bella had resolved to herself that she would go back to Hogwarts if she learned of any potential revolution, with the result that, the moment she gets a message that Harry has returned to Hogwarts, Alice sees that Bella will take part in the battle before Bella’s even read the message to inform her subsequent decision.
• Friendly Neighbourhood Vampire: The Cullens are this, as always, but soon find it a bit bemusing to meet so many people in the wizarding world who know what they are and still don’t find them scary.
• Fur Against Fang: During the Battle of Hogwarts, Edward, Jasper and Emmett are particularly eager when they get the chance to fight Voldemort's werewolf followers.
• Game of Chicken: The Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch teams get caught up in one of these, but it backfires on the Slytherins as they instigated the attack but are forced to back off when the Gryffindors don’t.
• Gondor Calls for Aid: The Cullens join Bella in responding to the call for help from Hogwarts before the final battle with the Death Eaters.
• Groin Attack: After Emmett slips Alice a paranoia-inducing sweet as a joke, Edward provokes Alice into attack Emmett in return by claiming that he's planning to destroy her wardrobe, Alice punching Emmett between the legs with such force that he's feeling it for the next couple of days.
• Heist Episode: Bella and Alice use Harry’s cloak to infiltrate Slytherin and steal back an invisibility potion Pansy Parkinson had stolen earlier.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In the final confrontation with the remaining Death Eaters, Brone takes a fatal curse meant for Bella.
• Hidden Depths: Subverted when Edward listens to the thoughts of Bella’s former Forks classmates after their first term at college, as it’s clear they’re all slacking off; Jessica in particular is talking about her appreciation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles while privately musing that she hasn’t even finished the first chapter because she finds it boring.
• Hope Bringer: After learning about the existence of magic, Bella comes to be this for Rosalie, who sees magic as the only way she might be able to become a mother.
• Hot Teacher: McGonagall chooses Esme for the new Muggle Studies position in the hopes that having an attractive teacher will encourage students to take the subject and give Hogwarts a chance to undo the damage the Carrows may have done to the students’ views on muggles without actually forcing the students to take it (Esme also arranges for Carlisle to assist a few of her lessons so that the female students don’t feel cheated).
• "I Am Great!" Song: Alice sings a few of these during Quidditch matches affirming her new loyalty to Gryffindor.
• I Was Having Such a Nice Dream: Invoked when the Cullen children are given a potion to let them sleep; when they all wake up, they affirm that they were enjoying the opportunity to dream for the first time in decades (although Edward is frustrated as he kept subconsciously tapping into Jasper and Emmett’s dreams rather than just dreaming his own).
• If I Wanted You Dead...: Invoked when Ron briefly worries that Bella has been Imperiused to protect the Horcruxes; Hermione points out that if Bella was Imperiused, she would have gone to get the horcrux as soon as the Room was emptied of students rather than coming back after Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
• Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance: Despite being decades old at least, the Cullens had no idea that magic was real until Bella told them about the wizarding world.
• In Spite of a Nail: Despite the Cullens’ presence, Fred, Lupin and Tonks still die in the Battle of Hogwarts.
• Informed Ability: Bella expresses concern that the Elder Wand would be able to hurt the Cullens despite vampires’ general immunity to magic, but this is never shown directly.
• Kryptonite Factor: While vampires are immune to most spells, Fiendfyre can apparently kill them if cast properly, and they are also vulnerable to certain potions so long as a suitable amount of blood is added to the recipe; George is able to devise a set of joke sweets with blood as part of the recipe that drive Alice into a paranoid panic, render Jasper completely incapable of walking for a time, and force Edward to sing everything he says for the next few hours, and Edward later falls victim to a love potion.
• Last Stand: The final battle at Hogwarts is this.
• Loophole Abuse: Probably the reason Bella isn’t accused of a foul when she wins her final Quidditch game by punching a bludger with her bare hand, as few people would choose to deliberately break their bones to win a game.
• Love Revelation Epiphany: Not in the narrative itself, but while proving his mind-reading abilities to Ron, Edward mentions that Ron’s been wanting to kiss Hermione since she punched Draco Malfoy in third year.
• Magic A Is Magic A:
  • Alice’s abilities are clearly established as being unable to perceive anything non-human or non-vampire, with the result that just sitting beside Hagrid blocks her abilities when she’s attending a quidditch match, and Death Eaters are able to bypass her by forcing a house-elf to accompany them on raids.
  • While vampires’ special abilities are distinctly separate from wizarding magic, there are enough similarities that Edward can be blocked with occlumency, and Jasper’s abilities are similar to the effect created by a potion known as Empatheia.
• Mama Bear:
  • Esme shows that she’s not just the beloved mother figure when she acts to protect Bella and other students during the Battle of Hogwarts from the Death Eaters, to the extent that she tears an Acromantula in half down the middle after taking its head off with her bare hands.
  • In Justice Reaper, Edward muses that only the fate of her child would inspire Bella to unleash the power and rage necessary for her to kill the Volturi.
• Manchurian Agent: Wisdom Seeker reveals that Arthur Weasley has been Imperiused by the Death Eaters for several months, forcing him to give them key information about the Ministry's tactics against the remaining Death Eaters.
• The Medic: As part of the Cullens’ integration into the wizarding world, Professor McGonagall is able to arrange a position for Carlisle at St Mungo’s to gain more experience of magical illnesses or injuries.
• Mundane Made Awesome:
  • A good description of Esme’s Muggle Studies classes, as some of her early lessons for the younger students explore such superficially simple things as trampolines or television, with at least one student musing that he’d take her class just because having a vampire professor sounds cool.
  • In Justice Reaper, a newspaper article discusses the challenges faced by wizards to try and conceal evidence of magic after a dragon skull is dug up as part of an episode of Time Team and the photographs are posted on the Internet, which Kingsley Shacklebolt confirms cannot be shut down without causing serious economic problems for the muggles, prompting at least one wizard to express surprise that muggles have developed more advanced communication methods than the wizards.
• Mundane Solution:
  • While working at St Mungo’s, Carlisle decides to take Neville’s parents to a muggle hospital to get a better idea of what’s wrong with them through scanners rather than spells, which helps him devise a treatment that restores the Longbottoms to some semblance of sanity where they are at least more responsive to others around them.
  • It is revealed that the Death Eaters have been using cellphones to communicate with an Imperiused Arthur Weasley as it was the only means of communication the Ministry couldn't intercept.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Arguably applies, albeit to a minor degree; after Voldemort’s death, his remaining loyal followers commit various assaults to try and re-establish the Death Eaters, as they were so certain of Voldemort’s victory that they made their allegiance to him too public for any of them to claim that they were Imperiused like before, particularly in the face of Kingsley Shacklebolt’s planned reforms. However, while dangerous, the Death Eaters lack a clear leader after Voldemort’s death, and so their attacks are limited compared to what they did under Voldemort’s leadership.
• Nightmare Fuel: A literal in-universe example; Rosalie experiences flashbacks to her rape and near-murder when she is thrown out of her dormitory window while asleep during a Death Eater raid.
• No Man Should Have This Power: After Edward witnesses Harry’s use of the Resurrection Stone, he later destroys the Stone for good after using it to have a final conversation with his mother so that the dead will not be disturbed again.
• Noodle Incident:
  • The exact details of Bella’s six years at Hogwarts aren’t provided, but various minor details are given, ranging from her cursing Cormac McLaggen at the Yule Ball when he was an inconsiderate date, giving Lee Jordan a love potion that sent him chasing Filch around the school for hours, assisting Fred, George and Lee in enchanting the school’s armours to chant a song about wanting Umbridge to leave Hogwarts, and joining Harry in the Battle at the Department of Mysteries.
  • Cormac MacLaggen had a bad encounter with a Gluttony plant during last year's Herbology classes; all Madam Pomfrey will say is that he lost "something more important than a finger".
  • It is revealed that only one other wizard has ever been turned into a vampire, but he was relatively weak and was swiftly killed by Aro, although the sphinx’s words state that Bella will avoid that fate because she will be far more powerful than that wizard was.
• Not a Morning Person: When the Cullens are given a potion that lets them sleep, Alice surprisingly reveals that this applies to her, as she initially tries to go back to sleep.
• "Not So Different" Remark: Rosalie is initially uncomfortable after her Sorting when she admits that the Hat thought about putting her in Slytherin, but Harry assures her that he was given the same offer, as just because they have traits that would make them a good fit for that house doesn't make them bad people.
• Not So Similar: After Jacob sees Bella transform into her lioness form, he briefly considers her similar to the Quileutes, but Rosalie ends that train of thought by listing some of the magical feats Bella can do that he can’t, such as apparition or transfiguration.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Emmett declines to tell Rosalie something, she knows that it must be important that he keep it secret rather than indulge her curiosity.
• Oblivious to Love: Embry shows an attraction to Luna when he meets her, but Luna at first shows no sign that she is aware of his feelings, instead hitting him (and then the other Quileutes) over the head with a rolled-up Quibbler to try and drive away the wrackspurts. She eventually starts dating him after Edward and Bella's wedding.
• Our Souls Are Different: Basically applies; when Edward uses his venom to destroy a horcrux, he initially interprets this as ‘proof’ of his belief that venom destroys souls, but this is proven false when Bella witnesses his soul when he’s nearly drained by dementors. In a talk with Dumbledore’s portrait, Dumbledore affirms that the venom destroyed the horcrux and only destroyed the soul because it was bound to the object in question, expressing faith that the Cullens’ souls are safe from the consequences of murder due to them only killing humans for food out of necessity and their ability to mourn those they kill helping to repair their damaged souls.
• Our Werewolves Are Different: Explicitly stated when Bella reveals the existence of the Quileute werewolves to Professor McGonagall while explaining to the Cullens how they differ from wizarding werewolves; McGonagall even notes that she knows of a tribe in Alaska who can transform into polar bears in a similar manner.
• Platonic Life-Partners: ‘Life partners’ might be an exaggeration, but at one point Edward ends up offering Hermione and Ginny comfort when Bella, Harry and Ron are all in St Mungo’s over Christmas, with Edward’s telepathy affirming that the two girls have no interest in him as anything more than a friend and are fully committed to their own boyfriends.
• Posthumous Character: Dumbledore’s portrait converses with the Cullens, and Edward uses the Resurrection Stone to talk briefly with his mother.
• The Power of Blood: When the Cullens drink dragon’s blood, it not only completely removes their usual thirst to such a degree that Edward doesn’t even feel slightly tempted by Bella’s blood, but the blood also restores their original eye colour from when they were human for at least the next few hours.
• Rapid Hair Growth: A temporary example; by gathering together all of the sixth- and seventh-year female Gryffindor students to help her, Bella is able to cast a spell that makes Alice’s usual short hair grow all the way down her back, but Alice sees that her body will only hold the magic for a few days before her natural style returns.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Bella briefly goes on one after Fred’s death, leading to a particularly brutal fight between her and a Death Eater that leads to her setting her opponent’s robes on fire and cutting his hand off.
• Rule of Symbolism: Features heavily in a recurring prophetic dream Bella has, which includes her needing to swim through a river of blood to get to her future daughter, Rosalie trapped by chains with clocks on them displaying the very minute Rosalie's heart stopped beating, and a little boy just beyond Bella's daughter that Edward (after seeing the dream) becomes certain will be Emmett and Rosalie's son, further back from Renesmee because he'll be born later.
• Secret Test of Character: The Cullens essentially passed one for the entire wizarding world after the Battle of Hogwarts, with wizards observing that the Cullens’ ability to resist drinking human blood without magical assistance clearly shows their strength of moral character.
• Serious Business: The Cullen children all swiftly become fans of Quidditch, with Emmett becoming the new Hogwarts commentator and Edward observing that Alice is particularly fanatical about the game. Oliver Wood, naturally, considers it an insult that Bella didn't make it her priority to tell the Cullens about Quidditch when she only just told them anything about the wizarding world in the last hour and was obviously focused on explaining the current crisis to them first.
• Shout-Out: When Bella sees Jasper drinking blood from a teacup at the Quidditch World Cup, she compares him to Vivian Ward (Pretty Woman), prompting incredulity from Jasper at the analogy.
• Sitcom Archnemesis: Invoked when Bella- currently 'high' after being stung by a Billywig- proclaims that the floor she just fell on is her "new arch-nemesis".
• Skewed Priorities: When Bella introduces Edward as her fiancé to some of her old friends, Angelina and Katie in particular are more surprised that Bella's engaged to anyone than that her fiancé is a vampire.
• Supporting Protagonist: Secret Keeper basically looks at the events of the Battle of Hogwarts through Bella and Edward’s perspectives.
• Swapped Roles:
  • A minor but (for their relationship) significant example; prior to the Christmas ball, Bella actually ends up helping Alice with a fashion situation.
  • On a larger scale, a sphinx states that Bella will be the subject of the next major prophecy of her generation just as Harry was the subject of the last one.
• Token Evil Teammate: Fitting her position in canon, Rosalie is the only Cullen who is considered for Slytherin (Alice, Edward and Emmett are automatically sorted to Gryffindor and Jasper is considered for Ravenclaw), but Harry assures Rosalie that just having those traits doesn’t make her a bad person.
• Took a Level in Badass: As though her existing magical skills weren’t enough, Bella becomes a lion animagus, and visions of her future transformation into a vampire reveal that not only will she then be able to wordlessly cast spells that hide her from Edward when she’s right in front of him, but will retain her lion form while being able to break the current land-speed record.
• Unfulfilled Purpose Misery: Invoked when Brone learns that Edward already killed the vampire that killed Brone's wife, which leads to Brone sacrificing himself to save Bella as he feels like he has no reason to keep going.
• Villainous Crush: Slytherin Blaise Zabini has a crush on Bella that he tries to hide by insulting her, but Bella naturally doesn’t return his interest beyond using it to distract him during a Quidditch game.
• The Worf Effect: Emmett in particular is unnerved when he witnesses a group of Dementors render Edward essentially unconscious, as he has grown used to thinking of vampires as top of the food chain.
• Your Magic's No Good Here: It is affirmed that the Quileutes’ shapeshifting abilities and the Cullens’ extra gifts are not the same as wizarding magic, with the result that neither group can use wands.
