Edward... did not want to do this. He had managed to avoid Maia for a very long time, just the memory of her scent was enough to want him wish she'd never come near him again, and he'd done a good job in keeping both himself and Bella away.

And now Alice was here. She'd managed to make him agree to this by taking advantage of the fact that she was his favourite sister, and also through being extremely annoying for someone of that size. That it had been years since Edward's attack on Maia did not seem to discourage her, actually she'd said it was about time he talked to her now. If Maia was walking around frightened of him, thinking he might do it to others... Well, he knew he'd treated the girl badly. He'd felt he was justified in doing that back when they first met, but perhaps he hadn't been... He'd been so tired back then, tired of staying away from Bella, tired of trying to go on without her, that he hadn't really been focusing much on what was going on around him. He had overreacted, and not done the right thing. So he was going to apologize. Even though he really didn't want to.

Strange that Maia was in Gryffindor, though. He'd been so certain she was a Slytherin, but well, he was not living there himself anymore, but opted to stay in Hufflepuff with Bella. Maybe Maia was doing the same.

It was with some trepidation that Edward approached the door he'd been told was Maia's. It was strange though; nothing here smelled like he remembered her to smell. In fact this smelled... nice. He'd felt this scent before, although now it was mingled with something else, something sharper, but nonetheless appealing. It was... unexpected.

He knocked carefully, and frowned slightly. Something was not right.
