Bella POV
It's been 2 days since he'd left. 2 days since he said he didn't love me anymore. 2 days of pure misery for myself. 2 days of annoyance for my "father". 2 days since I'd considered going back to Hogwarts. I still hadn't talked to Charlie about me going back to England, but I'm pretty sure he'd let me go back.
I started to pack my trunk (just in case Charlie let me go). I had put a charm (to hide it) on the trunk, just to make sure nobody suspected anything different or abnormal about me (the only people in my life who knew I was a witch were Charlie, Renee and Phil).
When Charlie got home, I asked him if we could have a talk while we ate tea. He gave me a funny look (we didn't usually talk during tea), Charlie usually wants to watch a baseball game on the TV, but I usually read Enchanted Encounters by Fifi LaFolle (but I have disguised the book as Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte).
I took the fettuccini carbonara out of the fridge and pointed my wand at it. It instantly heated up. I summoned two plates and the carbonara flew up onto the plate. I pointed my wand at the table and the plates (with the food on top) flew over to it.
"Char...Dad, tea's ready. I was wondering, if I could go back to Hogwarts, I mean, if that's ok with you." I said, getting to the point, rather than holding it.
"Actually, I was wondering when you were going to go back there! You've been, um, not so happy since he left. And besides, you've been using your wand more often than before!" Charlie said.
"Do you want to get rid of me?" I asked, startled. Apparently Charlie was, too.
"No! Of course not, Bells! I just thought that you might want to spend some quality time with your friends Harry, Hermione and Ron! And …." I cut my father off.
"That would be really great!" I said, but I don't think he heard me.
"Severus would be pleased to see you again." Charlie said. I growled, I hated my real father.
Yes, Charlie Swan wasn't my real father. Severus Snape, Potions master at Hogwarts and Head of Slytherin House, was.
