Chapter One
It is a truth universally known, that a boy in possession of a good fortune and born in a wizarding family, must be in want of an excellent magical education.
"Dear Mr Bennet," said his lady one afternoon, "have you heard the news? A new young man is transferring to Hogwarts this year and he will be in Jane's year!"
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not heard this news. He also seemed rather disinterested, which bothered Mrs. Bennet a great deal.
"Don't you want to know who the young man is?" She inquired with some exasperation.
Mr. Bennet, who had been attempting to read his newpaper in peace, sighed in resignation and looked attentively at his wife. "You want to tell me and I won't object to hearing it."
Mrs. Bennet was so pleased that she instantly forgot his initial disinterest. "I was just speaking with Mrs. Longbottom who says that the Bingley family, who have always sent their boys to Oddswash School for Boys in London, have transferred their son to none other than Hogwarts! And you know what this means?"
Mr. Bennet did not know what this meant and indicated so by remaining silent.
"It means that he will be in close proximity to our daughters! What a fine thing for our girls." Mrs. Bennet was absolutely delighted by the prospect.
"How so? What can you mean, my dear?" Asked the perplexed Mr. Bennet.
"Don't be so tiresome, Mr. Bennet. Obviously I am thinking that he might marry one of them."
"Do you think that is his design in going to Hogwarts?"
"His design?!" Mrs. Bennet was unsure if her husband was toying with her or being serious. "Of course not! Mr Bennet, you have no compassion for my poor nerves!"
"On the contrary," said Mr. Bennet matter-of-factly. "I have great respect for your nerves. They have been my constant companion ever since I met you at that Muggle ball all those years ago."
Mrs. Bennet was not convinced but she was determined to continue with her story.
"Mr. Bingley will be in Jane's year and if he sees her, how can he not fall in love with her? She is the most beautiful girl at that school and everyone knows it. And if he is so blind as to not notice her, how could he not notice Lizzy? She is just as popular, you know".
Mrs. Bennet walked over to the window and stood looking at her garden with dreamy eyes. "I think it very likely that Mr. Bingley will fall very much in love with one of our girls…"
