Bella's POV
Great, another school. At the moment my life pretty much sucks. Edward left me 5 months ago and here i am standing out side of a railway station, all packed and ready to go. How did I get here?
Flashback
Well about one month ago I was cooking dinner for Charlie as usual, when the lights outside the house went off. I went and peered through the window to see nothing but velvety blackness. I shrugged it off remembering the amount of powercuts we had last summer and resumed with Charlie's meal. Thats when I heard a loud knock on the front door, curious but catious I answered it wearily to reveal a tall bearded man, wearing an electric blue robe. The odd appearence of this unknown man kept me staring, from his long grey beard and down his robes. He startled me when he began to speak, "Ahh, you must be Bella Swan?" I nodded my head slowly, noticing my throat had gone dry, he continued. "I am Proffesor Dumbledore, is dear Charlie around?" Finally finding my voice I replied. "He's still at work, but he should be any moment, do you want to come in?" hesitantly adding the last part to be polite. "Oh yes please, I need to explain some ... erm... matters with you too" I held the door open wide and stepped aside to allow him in. He took a seat in front of the televison, right where Charlie usually sits, I take the seat next to him as he begins to talk. "Right, Bella. I believe your 14 years of age now ?" I nodded as he continued "Well I came here to speak to you about your educational situation. We would like you to join us at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-" suddenly I cut him off finally registering the words in which he had spoke 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'. "This is some sort of joke right?" I asked in all seriousness. "No Miss Swan it is not a joke, I do however feel the need to apologise, you see we had a mix up, you were actually supposed to start the school at the age of eleven but since you moved here to Forks we were unable to track you, to tell you" Bella became more puzzled by the minute. "Wait what do you mean School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Dumbledore gave her a look of amusement. "It means that you are a witch and that our school is one for Witches and wizards to learn to control their magical ability, you will learn how to use simple jinxes and counter-curses to defend yourself against the darker side of the world, you will buy all of the items you need at Diagon Alley, such as spellbooks, potion ingredients, a wand of course and much more" he finished waiting for me to say something. "Wait... so I am a witch? and I'm going to have a wand and learn spells? Do you know how clumsy I am? I'll end up blowing up the entire school or setting peoples clothes of fire!" I exclaimed loudly, he chuckled at my sudden outburst when the door slammed open. "Bella I'm home" he yelled completely oblivious to the stranger on the couch. When his eyes finally caught the unknown man, he looked shocked then broke out into a wave of laughter. "Albus, so good to see you again, I was wondering when I was to be expecting you!" they both smiled and shook hands leaving me staring at Charlie like he had slapped me. So he knew about Dumbledore and this school and didn't bother to tell me. I hate secrets.
End Flashback
As I make my way through the station, trolley gliding along with me and Charlie by my side, I realise I have no idea what platform I'm supposed to be on. Just as I was about to enlighten Charlie to this detail he steered me off towards platform 9 and 10. He came to an abrupt halt causing me to crash into him with the trolley. "Sorry dad, I wasn't looking" He looked down at me with a grin spreading across his face. "Thats alright Bells, we here anyway just do what I do" He approached the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 and went to lean against it. I copied him suspiciously, he looked around and slid through the solid brick wall. I stood stunned for a moment before leaning cautiously against it, to my suprise i didn't hit any thing, instead i felt a cold sensation pouring through my body. I quickly stepped through completely to find myself on a whole new platform. Many children were surrounding teary eyed parents and boarding the scarlet steam engine with their luggage. Charlie was beaming at me. "Right Bells. I guess this is it. I'll see you at christmas" He gave me a bone crushing hug before adding " Try and stay out of trouble" and laughed weakly as he let go off me. I made my way over to the train and struggled to get my luggage on. " Hey want some help with that?" I turned around to find a beautiful bushy haired girl smiling at me and gesturing towards my luggage. "Thanks" i replied giving her a weak smile as she helped me board the train. Once finally on she said "Are you new?" "Yeah I am, I'm Bella by the way" I replied smiling. Wow i hadn't smiled properly in a long time. "Hermione, are you in your first year 'cos you look about my age" she replied still smiling sweetly "erm I think I'm in the third or fourth year" I just couldn't wipe the smile off my face. "Well I'm in the fourth year and in Gryffindor house. Do you want to share a compartment with me and my friends" She added. "Ermm... sure .... I mean ... If thats OK with your friends of course" I stuttered stupidly, she just smiled and continued "Well they won't mind come on" She grabbed my hand and lead me down the train to a compartment where a black haired bespecticaled boy and a tall, freckly red-headed boy were sat in conversation until Hermione opened the compartment door. "Hey guys, this is Bella, she going to be starting in our year" Both boys stood up at the same time and tripped over each other. Hermione laughed heartily. The two boys stood up both turning deep crimson before carefully making there way over to me "Hi, I'm Harry Potter" said the black haired bespecticled one. Hmm... Harry Potter ... That name sounds oddly familiar. Anyway no time to dwell on that now, the red-headed boy was making his way over to me " Hi I'm .... Ron Weasley, nice to meet you" I took a seat next to Hermione as the train began to move, I peered out of the misty window and waved at Charlie before relaxing into my current position.
2 hours later
I was rather comfortable now, talking to Harry,Ron and Hermione. They explained alot about the wizarding world after I told them of my discovery. The boys explained a sport called Quidditch that was really popular in this world, while Hermione was telling me about magic creatures, various spells, classes, inter-house relationships and house-elfs. I listened intentley to every word they all spoke, it was fascinating to learn all about a world I never knew existed. It was exactly like the time I found out about... about.... Edward.... and his being.... a vampire. No Bella snap out of it he left you, get over it. I scolded myself. Hermione suggested after a while that we all changed into our robes as we were nearly there. Once we were all changed the train started to slow. Then something hit me..... I don't know what house i'm in!!!
Once we had reached the large oak doors, Hermione took my hand in hers to comfort me, probably feeling me shaking. But as soon as her hand connected with mine, a rush of butterflies swam throughout my stomach. What is it with this girl?! "You'll be alright, Dumbledore might just place you in Gryffindor since we've become friends" Hermione whispered in my ear, causing shivers to run down my back. As soon a we entered the entrance hall, I saw Dumbledore stood facing the doorway we had just come through and smiling brightly. He walked over to us,"Ahh Miss Granger, how nice of you to help out Miss Swan here" he gestured towards me before adding " Miss Swan, due to your situation you will be sorted seperatley from the first years, If you would just follow me, you too Miss Granger" we walked through a large corridor and entered an empty room, presumably a classroom. Dumbledore hurried towards an old ragged looking hat and picked it up, he placed it gently on my head and I let out a gasp of shock when it started moving and talking "Ooh, we have a brave one here, Gryffindor!" it bellowed great does that mean i'm in Gryffindor with my 3 new friends? Hermione was beaming from the other side off me... I guess so.
