Disclaimer: The Harry Potter universe belongs to the amazing JK Rowling, and the Twilight universe belongs to Stephenie Meyer!

Summary: Alice Cullen is a new student attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the seventh and final year. However, Head Boy Jasper Hale is forced to be her guide, and neither of them are happy with that little arrangement-- are they?

Alice Cullen jumped angrily on her bed, glaring at the innocent ceiling as her head hit the pillow. She gazed at the sparkling stars that her mother had charmed onto the enchanted ceiling, desperately hoping that they would actually grant wishes so she wouldn't have to move.

To England.

She heard a knock and sighed as she saw her mum come in. Her wand was extended to keep a tray of chocolate chip cookies and Butterbeer floating in the air behind her.

"Oh, honey, don't be so sad," her mum said gently as she saw her daughter's gloomy expression and sat down on the bed.

"It's just- do I have to go to Hogwarts? I want to stay at Beauxbatons. It's the school I went to for six years," Alice said as she grabbed a cookie and a glass of Butterbeer.

Although Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was the best magical school in the world, it was in England, so Alice did not attend it. Instead, because she lived in France, she went to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. But now, that was all going to change.

"I know, sweetie, but your father has to move to England for his job. And, although he loves his work, you know he would never go anywhere without being close to you," Esme replied as she tucked her caramel-colored hair behind her ear. Alice's dad was the Minister of Magic of France, and some government issues had forced him to go to England.

Alice munched thoughtfully on her cookie as Esme smiled fondly at her daughter, patting her silky black hair, which was cut into unnatural spikes. Esme thought it was adorable.

"Aww, mum!" Alice whined. No one except for her parents could get away with touching her hair.

"What did you do now, Alice?" Alice's dad, Carlisle, asked jokingly as he walked into the room, stealing a cookie in the process.

"Hello, dear," Esme laughed and kissed her husband.

"Daddy!" Alice exclaimed with a huge grin. She was excited to see her dad as that wasn't always possible since he often worked very late.

Carlisle chuckled and moved to kiss his daughter's forehead and rumpled up her hair. He sighed and sat down on her bed, wearing a concerned expression. "Honey, I know you really don't want to leave France, but-"

"It's all right, Daddy," Alice interrupted. "I think it would be cool to go to Hogwarts. Besides, Beauxbatons was getting a bit boring anyways," she smiled.

Alice had thought this over in the short period of time her dad had come, and decided that it wouldn't be too bad to move. And who knows? She might discover some fun yet!

"Well, good," Carlisle teased. "I told you she would want to come, Esme! You owe me five galleons."

Alice widened her eyes in disbelief and amusement. "You guys bet on me?" she pouted.

"It was just for fun, sweetie," Esme reassured her. "Which is why I will not pay you five galleons, Carlisle!"

"I knew it," Carlisle said dramatically, putting his head in his hands disappointedly. "You're still a sore loser."

"Excuse me?!" Esme gaped at him. "I – well, you know what? You're not allowed to have anymore cookies!" she informed him with a tone of finality.

"What!? Noooooo!" Carlisle yelled, devastated. He pulled out his wand and screamed, "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Quite suddenly, Esme was floating in midair.

"Carlisle Cullen! Put me down at once! Alice, tell your father to let me down this instance!" She laughed, brandishing her own wand. "Oh well, Carlisle, I hope you enjoy being tickled!"

"What are you talking about? You know I hate being tic-" He burst into uncontrollable laughter as a jet of silver light was shot at him from Esme's wand. "Esme-" laughter "I-" more laughter "no-" even more laughter "tickles!" Carlisle finished proudly, although he was still giggling quite happily.

Alice leaned against her pillow, searching for a comfortable spot as she watched her parents. She swore that they seemed more childish than her sometimes. She grinned as they continued fighting over the delicious chocolate chip cookies- the chocolate chip cookies that she was currently enjoying.
