Chapter 1: Birthday Surprise
***Important Notice***
This story is currently under construction. The first 8 chapters were written two years ago and the wording/grammar is not very good… I'm working on further chapters, so rewriting is just not possible right now. It would be thankful to me if you excuse the poor language in those first few chapters and read on, as there is a story here to look forward to. Thanks!
Full Summary:
Renesmee Carlie Cullen is a half human/half vampire. A Hybrid. Shock emnates the Cullens when she receives acceptance into a school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

She gets close to a certain Hogwarts professor with a lightning scar, sharing his memories through an unidentified magic. Somewhere behind all this, evil is lurking in the shadows. It seems that Harry Potter had left out some holes when he defeated the dark lord.
Chapter 1
Birthday Surprise
The forest seems so cold today, in the September chill. It's so quiet and eerie. I start trudging over the leaves and branches, making a lot of noise. Suddenly, I got this feeling that I was being watched. My pace starts to pick up rapidly, which results in making more noise. Panic swells in me. Where am I? Why am I here? My arms are thrashing wildly in front of me, batting the branches out of my way. A huge log is now in front of me, and I just noticed it a little too late. My foot caught on the edge, and I trip. Typical. Then, out of nowhere, a pair of russet colored, lean arms wrapped around me, helping me up. I know I should feel frightened, scared, and in danger. But instead, I immediately smiled and turned around. I would know those arms anywhere.
I jolted awake. The rain was pattering against my window in rhythmic beats. I smiled. Today was a special day, I was so excited. It was my birthday today. I jumped out of my queen sized bed and ran out my bedroom door, leaving the bed unmade, which was something I rarely ever did. Halfway down the corridor, I could hear my parents discussing something. I caught the words Nessie, and Birthday in their conversation. Staying put, I eagerly strain to hear what they were saying, but all I could hear was silence.
"Hi Nessie," said my dad, Edward. Ugh, stupid vampires, can't do anything without them finding out. Especially since I have a mind reader for a father, "Well, Alice wouldn't want me to tell you what your birthday surprise was."
"Yeah, whatever," I mumbled, stumbling towards the kitchen counter, "so, what's for breakfast?"
"Eggs and toast," said my mom, "I didn't want to fill you up so much. Alice is probably going crazy with a surprise, I didn't want you to throw up. Just in case." She smiled, I groaned.
"Mom, unlike you, I like surprises. Honestly!" She walked over and put a plate of delicious looking scrambled eggs, and handed me a piece of toast. My stomach grumbled. I dug in, forgetting all about the fork placed beside my dish. I heard my dad sigh, and ignored him. When I was done, I put everything in the sink, getting ready to wash them.
"Nessie, you can leave those, we have to get going. Alice is going to be mad," mom said as she slid on her purple overcoat.
"Oh, ok," I ran to my room and got changed in all of four seconds. I loved being a vampire. Well, truth be told, a vampire hybrid. You see, when my mom was still human, she and my dad fell in love with each other. They, uh, did it. Mom suffered a lot, but then the end result was me, half immortal, half human, not to mention that she got turned into a vampire too.
My parents were waiting at the front door, all ready to go. The next thing you know, we're running. Freedom hits me in the face. Ahh. I could never get used to the wind blowing in my face, or the perfect clarity of the objects that passed me. And by the look on my mom's face, neither could she. Four seconds have passed, and we were already halfway there. After jumping across the lake, it took us another two seconds to reach the front door of the Cullen residence.
Of course, Alice was there, waiting for us. I heard my mom sigh.
"Bella! Edward! Nessie!" She cried, hugging us all in a classic Alice hug. Dad chuckled.
"Alice, we saw you last week!" he said, a bit of annoyance leaking into his voice.
Rose appeared at the door step. "Nessie!" she cried, pulling me into another hug, "happy 11th birthday!"
"Thanks Auntie Rosie!" I smiled. We all stepped into the house, and gasped.
The walls were hidden under layers and layers of streamers in all shades of blue. Colorful balloons bobbed around everywhere, hanging by strings from the streamers. The tables were covered with piles of wrapped presents and decorated cards, and in the middle of the room was a big three layer birthday cake, that was sitting on a small round coffee table. When I walked closer, I saw the words that spelled , Renesmee Carlie Cullen, our eleven year old hybrid. I ran over to Rose and Alice, pulling them in for a huge, suffocating hug.
"Oh my! Guys, this is perfect! I love it! I can't believe you did all this for me!" Actually, as I remembered my past birthdays, I could. Dad chuckled, again. Just then, Esme, Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett walked in. They were all chuckling, amused.
"Hey Ness hope you like your birthday…surprise," said Em, still chuckling. I ran up to hug each one of them.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I breathed. I couldn't help but feel super special right now.
"Of course you're special," said Dad.
Just then, the doorbell rang. I rushed there to get it, hoping to see—
"Jake!" I screamed, jumping into his outstretched arms.
"Hi to you too, Nessie," he said through his shaking fits of laughter. I pulled back, smiling, and took in his appearance. Wearing a classic black tux, he looked amazing. His short hair was spiked up into a casual disarray, and I just had a yearning to ruffle it with my hand. In his left hand, he was carrying a small bundle which I took to be my birthday present. In his right, he was holding a red rose, which he offered to me. "For you" he said, and smiled a breathtakingly beautiful wolfy grin.
I smiled back, and accepted the rose. Someone coughed, and I looked back. Emmett smiled.
"We need to get a move on, people!" screamed Alice. Boy, she could be scary. We rushed to where she was standing, which was beside the cake. Someone, I'm guessing Alice, had already moved all the presents so they were on either side of the cake. The sight in front of me was something that normally existed in a movie. My family surrounding the perfectly presented presents and cake. The pack was there too, including Sue, Billy, and my Granddad, Charlie.
After all the greetings, and happy birthdays, we opened presents. I unwrapped each and every one of them, tearing the wrappings, in a hurry to see what the beautiful paper held inside. From my Granddad, I got a girly diary with a lock. "There's got to be somewhere to pour your feelings out on" he said. The members of the pack all carved me totem poles, each one representing themselves in a different way. Sue had painted me something. It was the pack, standing on the edge of a cliff. I had to admit, it was amazing. I never knew she could paint. When I complimented her, she muttered a thanks, and blushed. Carlisle and Esme just gave me a card. I was surprised, I thought they loved buying presents. I looked up at them, trying to conceal my disappointment. Carlisle laughed.
"Honey, read the card," Esme said with a loving smile. I did as I was told, and read the card.
"Oh My God! You guys are renovating my room?" I squealed, sounding like Alice. "Thank you! I love your gift!" I gave them both hugs.
Alice and Rose got me a trunk full of what they would consider 'pretty' clothes. I could see there were tons of sparkles.
"Alice! Rose! Thank you soo much!" they knew my style so well. Both of them grinned widely in response. Just as I was about to get to my parent's red and gold decorated square box, there was a faint rap from the front door. Human ears would've never detected such thing.
"What was that?" I asked. Murmurs filled the room. No one seemed to know. I saw Carlisle stand up and walk past the hallway. I heard his footsteps walking towards the front door, and heard the ruffle of his clothes as he bent down, and picked something up. He came back clutching a yellowish envelope, addressed in emerald green. Still walking, he read aloud, "Miss Renesmee C. Cullen. The living room, Cullen Residence, The Forest, Forks."
"Who's it from?" my mom asked, getting nervous. Carlisle hastily turned the letter over.
"Hogwarts," dad replied, reading Carlisle's mind.
