Vampires at Hogwarts
Bella's POV:
I was in the living room of the main house, listening to Edward play his lullaby to me. It was so beautiful, it doesn't matter that I have heard it about a million times. Just then, Edward stopped playing.
"What's wrong, Edward?" I asked, suddenly worried. There had to be something wrong, because when Edward was playing, he barely ever stopped in the middle of a song.
"Alice just had a vision. We are getting visitors." He said.
"What kind of visitors? Are they dangerous? Should I go call Jake?" I asked. Usually when we had visitors, they weren't dangerous, just random nomads passing by. But usually if Alice has a vision about them, then Edward wasn't worried, we just watched Renesmee more closely.
"No, no. Not that kind of visitor. They aren't vampires. Come on, let's round up everyone and I will explain. Carlisle already knows about them, but no one else besides him and I." He explained.
Just then, everyone came running at vampire speed into the living room. Rosalie was carrying Renesmee, who had a brush in her hand, trying to brush her own hair now.
"What's wrong?" asked Carlisle. He looked at Edward, who started to explain:
"Albus is coming…with a favor to ask us. Alice had a vision of it." Explained Edward. Only he and Carlisle knew who that was, so everyone was looking confused. Jasper looked uncomfortable, probably because of the mixture of emotion in the room.
"Well, Albus is a family friend. He is a wizard, and he needs our help. Albus, who is probably one of the most powerful wizards of all time, runs a wizarding school, called Hogwarts. Edward, do you know anything about the favor?" said Carlisle.
"It was Alice's vision. But no, I did not see what the favor was." Said Edward, looking at Alice. "Do you know when he will arrive, Alice?"
Alice's eyes suddenly glazed over. She opened her eyes, and said "About 3 minutes."
Everyone went to their rooms, except Edward, Carlisle, Esme, and I.
"I'm going to go get Nessie." I mumbled, feeling that Carlisle and Edward needed to talk alone. Edward, probably thinking what I was feeling, just nodded.
I ran up the stairs at vampire speed and took Nessie out of her bedroom and carried her over to Alice's room. I knocked on the door.
"Alice?" I asked. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
The door opened, and Alice pulled me in.
"Yes, Bella? I know what you're going to ask, and I don't really know much about Albus. All I know is that he wants us to protect someone or something against a dark and powerful wizard, who wants to destroy the thing we are guarding." Said Alice
"Oh." I said, feeling a little better, but not all the way.
"Don't worry, Bella." Said Jasper. As Jasper said this, I felt a calming feeling all over my body.
"Thanks." I said to both Alice and Jasper. I walked out of the room and closed the door. Suddenly I heard a loud crack. I ran downstairs at vampire speed. Edward met me at the end of the stairs.
"It's okay, Bella. It's just Albus." He explained.
I walked over to the center of the living room, where Carlisle was talking with a very old-looking man with a snow white beard long enough to tuck into his belt. He wore a cloak, and had half moon spectacles over his twinkling blue eyes. His nose was crooked, it looked like it had been broken at least once. His right hand was black and hanging at his side limply.
"Come on, Bella. I want you to meet Albus." I walked over to the man and stood a little behind Edward.
"Carlisle, your family has grown! What is your name, Ms. Cullen?" said Albus, extending his good hand.
"Hello, my name is Bella, and this is me and Edward's baby, Renesmee." I greeted.
"What a beautiful family. Edward, you never told me you had a wife. Where is the rest of your wonderful family, Carlisle?" Asked Albus.
At that second, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper appeared on the stairs, obviously ran at vampire speed.
"Ah. Well, are you going to introduce me to your family, Carlisle?" chuckled Albus.
"This," Carlisle said, walking to the staircase. "Is Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett." Pointing to them in turn.
"Ah, nice to meet you all. Now, I am sure Carlisle must have told you who I am, and I'm sure you all want to know why I am here." Said the wizard.
"That would be nice." Replied Rosalie.
"Well, I would like to ask a favor of you. It is completely up to you if you choose to accept or not. There is a dark, evil wizard, named Lord Voldemort. There was a prophecy, which involved a young man, which was a baby, born in July. His name is Harry Potter. The prophecy told of that boy destroying Voldemort. He got scared, and decided to kill the boy before the latter could kill him.
"So, he went to the boy on Halloween one night, killed both of the boys parents, and attempted to kill him. Now, when I say attempted, I mean something happened that no one in the wizarding community thought possible: someone survived the killing curse. That boy was Harry Potter. The curse rebounded from Harry to Voldemort, killing him. No one knows why; but Voldemort somehow came back, and he is alive and in human form. He is now after Harry, it is believed.
"Now here is where your part comes in: Harry attends Hogwarts, the school in which I am Headmaster of. Our school, Hogwarts, is under heavy protection; however I am afraid that if he tried, Voldemort could get in. Now, to my request: I would like you to come to Hogwarts, act as though you are students, and protect Harry Potter."
