Unwanted

Chapter One

I'm Isabella and this is my life story. I was born into a family who never wanted me. So, right after my mother gave birth to me, my family left me on the doorstep of a magical orphanage. St. Mungo's Orphanage, to be exact. I've spent my entire life there.

The date is June twenty-ninth and Miss Sarah has just informed me that Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, is coming to visit me today to discuss what to do about my magical education. My entire being desired to be taught the ways of magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but I assumed that I wouldn't be able as a result of my 'problem'.

Oh, I forgot to tell you about my 'problem'. I'm quarter human, quarter metamorphmagus, quarter vampire, and quarter werewolf. I know, I know, vampires and werewolves have been mortal enemies since the beginning of time, it makes no sense, blah blah blah, but one learns to live with it.

Everyone views me as a freak and most are utterly terrified of me, but I swear that I'm harmless. I've trained myself since birth to control my thirst, making it safe for me to be around humans. It is indeed the truth that I need to feed on blood, but, unlike full vampires, I only need to hunt occasionally, typically about once a month. I also only hunt and feed off of animals, instead of humans, in an effort for people to accept me, but they're still wary of me.

I wish that I could just pretend to be normal, but my abnormal nature is fairly obvious, for I resemble each part of me in many ways.

The vampire side of me shows through my beauty. I'm not as beautiful as full vampires, but I'm certainly far better looking than just your everyday human, muggle and magical alike.

The werewolf parts of me show though my body structure. I'm extremely muscular, and my strength is extraordinary. For example, while hunting one day, I came across a large black bear, but became distracted for a few seconds. This gave the bear the chance of escape, which it gladly took. My aggravation at losing it got the better of me, so I took my anger out on the closest thing I could find. Let's just say that there's a tree in a forest somewhere that has been snapped in half by the result of an angry mutant's fist…

On the other hand, there is the metamorphmagus side of me. Although I can slightly change how I look, I'll always stay pretty and muscular.

Every other part of me is human. I eat mostly human food, requiring three meals a day like any other human, but I really do enjoy feeding on Blood Pops between hunting trips.

So, long story short, I had grown up as a freak, never truly fitting in. I had a room to myself, unlike the rest the kids in the orphanage, who share a room with another child. My guess was that I didn't hold much of a trustworthy status in the opinions of the other children, as well as staff. I assumed that's what landed me in a dark, cold room, all by myself.

All I ever really wanted was to be normal, to fit in, but I knew that would never happen.

A knock on my door sounded throughout my little room. "Come in!" I said with a smile, knowing who was waiting on the other side.

Professor Dumbledore stepped inside my room, smiling as well.

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore. How are you?" I asked him.

"Why, I'm great, Bella! Thank you for being so kind as to ask me!" He beamed at me as he came over to my bead, and sat on the end of it. I giggled at the old man's energetic nature.

"So, Bella, how have you been lately?" he continued.

"Pretty good, professor…pretty good" I replied.

"I'm glad to hear that, Bella. So, did Miss Sarah tell you why I came to see you today?" he asked me.

"Yes, sir. She said that you came to talk to me about my magical education," I returned as an answer, excited.

"She was right. I needed to tell you some very happy news. We have worked out a plan, enabling you to come and learn at Hogwarts. You will be going there with the rest of your classmates on the first on September," he told me, grinning from practically ear to ear.

I squealed and hugged him tightly, saying, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

He laughed as I started jumping in place. I couldn't believe it…I was so happy!

He then asked, "Would you like it if we went shopping in Diagon Ally today to get your school things?"

"I would love it, sir! When can we go?" I asked him, bouncing up and down, filled with sheer excitement and joy.

"Now, if you're ready," he said, standing up.

"Yes, sir! Let's go!" I said as I ran over to my closet and grabbed my purse that held the small amount of money my family had left with me when they dropped me off at the orphanage.

We walked out of the orphanage and towards the Leaky Cauldron, the pub that held the entrance to Diagon Ally.

The pub was less than five blocks away, so we arrived there no more than a few minutes after leaving.

When we walked into the leaky cauldron, a voice said from behind the counter, "Good afternoon, Headmaster."

"Same to you, Tom. Bella, meet Tom. Tom, meet Bella" Dumbledore said.

"Hello, Bella," Tom said.

"Hi, Tom," I said, blushing.

"Well, I suppose I'll see you later. I'm taking Miss Bella here to get her school items," Dumbledore nodded to Tom before walking me over to a back door, opening it, and stepping into a closed off area that I knew held the entrance to Diagon Ally.

Dumbledore tapped the bricks in a certain pattern, and soon after the bricks began to rearrange themselves to form a door way. As soon as we walked through it, the bricks went back to their original form.

Time seemed to just fly by as we walked through the streets, picking up my necessary items for school.

Before I knew it, we were finished, we were walking back to the Leaky Cauldron, conversing about what I was to expect at Hogwarts. But a surprise awaited us upon walking into the pub. I froze, terrified.

There were at least ten wands pointed straight at me, all of the wand's owner's starring at me, with a mix of fright and hatred on their faces.

I screamed as I heard their unison cry of, "Stupefy!"

I slumped to the floor, unconscious.
