How in the name of Merlin's pants had we ever come to this state? I mean, come on, vampires in Hogwarts? I shuddered at the image of vampires sucking blood. No. I would not allow it. I marched up to Dumbledore's office, Hermione at my side. I glanced at her. She was nervous with anxiety, and looked like she might faint.
"What's the password again?" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Merlin's pants." What a coincidence that I had just been using that phrase a few seconds ago.
"Um...okay. 'Merlin's pants'." The door spiralled open and we entered the staircase. Seconds later, Hermione and I were both staring blankly at Dumbledore's office door. I decided to break the silence.
"How about you knock this time, Hermione?" I was being generous, wasn't I? She gave me a deadly glare that knocked the breath out of me. I quickly turned away.
"Okay then." I knocked shakily. A deep voice boomed. "Come in." We both entered the office. Dumbledore with his beard so white looked surprised to find us at such an unexpected time.
"What brings you here today, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger? Should you not be ready to greet our fellow Cullens in the Great Hall?" The room suddenly felt very chilly. A shiver ran up my spine, causing me to stutter.
"You see, Professor Dumbledore, we do not really like the idea of having...vampires at Hogwarts." Hermione nodded along silently. Dumbledore thought for a long time, his crinkled hand smoothing down his snowy white beard.
"I see. And why, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger, do you not welcome this idea with open arms?" I was impatient. "Professor, can you not see that Hogwarts is a place for wizards? Can you not see that vampires coming here will break the whole tradition?" My voice rose higher with each statement.
Dumbledore merely shook his head, pacing up and down his office. "Mr. Weasley, I can see that you are upset with the school's decision to invite the Cullens to stay with us for a while. But you are just going to have to deal with it." He turned to face us.
"In the meanwhile," he paused. "You had better go and greet them. They should be arriving any minute. Oh, and a human is accompanying them. Isabella Swan, her name is. Give her a warm welcome, will you?" I was dazed. What kind of human would want to hang around with vampires and wizards? A crazy one, that's for sure.
Hermione and I stumbled out of Professor Dumbledore's office, making sure to shut the door behind us. We walked down the staircase and into the Great Hall. There was a huge crowd of people peeking out of one of the windows, chatting animatedly. Harry raced over towards us, his chest heaving. It was a hilarious sight, to be honest.
"Guys, guess what? They're coming!" Harry babbled. "Gosh, calm down Harry." We weaved our way through the crowd. The big doors were opening. I caught my breath, bracing myself for the horrendous sight. A ghastly smell immediately filled my nostrils. That was when she entered. That breathtaking blond vampire who was wrapped up in the big, burly vampire's arms.
