A/N: Hey this is my first Twilight & Harry Potter Crossover so please be kind and bear with me? This is a fanfiction idea that I came up with myself when reading other fanfiction. I had to give it a go because I haven't written anything in a while and I thought this would be a good place to start. It's basically what happens when 11 year old Bella goes to Hogwarts and meets the Cullens who are wizards. No vampires in this story sorry about that. And yes Harry Potter will be there. I'm considering pairings? Let me know if you have any ideas in reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry or Edward much to my displeasure. They belong to Stephanie Meyer & J K Rowling. Oh how jelous I am. O.o
"Mom?" Bella asked as she hopped onto the car booster seat clicking the seatbelt into place, "Why do we have to move to England? That's a bit… drastic."
Renee sighed and looked at Bella seriously. "Bella you KNOW why we have discussed this. Can you once just accept this and let me get you there. You can ask questions then."
Bella frowned and pouted. She hated being treat like a child.
"Okay fine; but you have some explaining to do when we get there."
"BELLA?! Get down here this instant! I don't care if you want to stay in bed! It's your birthday and you will have pancakes like you get every year! Don't ignore me!"
It felt weird for Renee to be shouting at her, Bella thought. There must have been something on her mind. Bella dragged herself out of bed. She didn't know what was up lately. She was usually good in getting up and stuff.
She looked at herself in the mirror. It was September 13th. She didn't look any older and yet she knew that she now was 11. She pouted in annoyance. She was expecting some noticeable change.
"Ok Mom I'm on my way" she shouted down the stairs. She had been living in England for about 4 months now and she was still oblivious about the reason her mother suddenly wanted to move to a different country.
The table was filled with delicious pancakes and there were a few presents and cards. She opened them eagerly and gushed over the new clothes and other items that her mother had clearly saved up for. She opened her card from Charlie and a £20 note fell out. She promised that she would call him later to thank him.
She stared at her mother across the table. She looked as if she was going to burst in excitement and Bella raised one eyebrow at the scene.
"What is it Mom? You look like your gonna explode!" Bella smiled but Renee grew serious, she knew from past experience that when Renee got serious then it was something big.
"Look Bella. Honey. I have something I need to tell you now that you're eleven. It's sort of important and you know I'm not very good at explaining things. The thing is Bella, I'm a witch."
Bella stared at her mother with huge chocolate brown eyes.
"What?!" The shock was clear on her face, "Are you joking or something? What do you mean you're a witch? Like in books and stuff all that flying on a broom going green and warty kind of witch? You have got to be kidding Mom!"
Renee looked sheepish and looked at Bella seriously. "Bella, I am deadly serious. I'm a witch, but not the green warty kind… and so are you."
After recovering from the shock the idea kind of sunk in. Bella had always wondered if there was something… different about her. When she made things happen when she got very emotional and the way that Renee just accepted it as if it was normal. Bella knew it wasn't normal and she had been right. She was a witch.
Renee passed her another envelope that looked different from other ones she had opened that day. It looked old and was made of parchment instead of paper. It was addressed to her and there was an old-fashioned seal on the back. "Go on, open it" her mother insisted.
Bella gently lifted her fingers under the seal and took at the piece of parchment that was inside.

Bella read and reread the letter in amazement. She could hardly believe it. She was a witch and she had been accepted into a school for other children like her. It was like she had never really gotten up this morning and this was all a dream. And yet. She knew it wasn't.
"But Mom? Term started 12 days ago." Bella frowned looking confused.
"I'm sorry Bella; I've been trying to work up to telling you for weeks and weeks now. I couldn't decide what to do but I thought I had loads of time left. And then before I knew it you had missed the train and I didn't know what do about it. I decided I would tell you on your birthday and then you could decide what to do."
Bella looked at her mother and sighed. This sounded exactly like something Renee would do. Put something off until it was so late that she couldn't do anything about it. She glanced down at the letter. She wanted to go to Hogwarts more than anything now she had received the chance. She would go even if it meant transferring there late. She didn't mind being the new kid too much. People couldn't have made that many friends in just 12 days could they?
"Mom. I'm going to Hogwarts." Renee just nodded.
A/N: Well what do you think? Any good so far? Should I carry on? Any comments whatsoever would be extremely useful. (: Next chapter Bella finds out just how many friends people can make in 12 days.
