Ok ya'll, here's my first fanfic I hope you'll like!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Twilight or Harry Potter's characters or plot. They belong to Mrs. Meyer and Mrs. Rowling respectfully. I just like to play with them a little.
Chapter 1
"Bella! Time to get up!"
"But Mom, I don't want to go to school….." I mumble.
"We have a big day today, so GET UP!" Mom screamed.
"Fine….five more minutes please….."
Mom throws the blankets off of me. "I'm up, I'm UP!" "You got some birthday cards in the mail; I left them by your breakfast. Hurry and get dressed, we have an appointment at ten." Mom rushes off to get ready while I slowly get dressed.
I'm halfway through my cereal when I remember the mail. Cards from Dad and Gran, then a big brown envelope. As soon as I touch the brown one, the doorbell rings.
I rush to the door, but Mom beats me to it. "Hi, can I help you?" Mom asks hesitantly. The stranger is an older woman. She's wearing some weird dress, glasses, and she looks kind of mean.
"I'm Minerva McGonagall. You most be Renee and Isabella Swan, nice to meet you. Did you receive a brown letter this morning Isabella?" She asks.
"Y-y-yes" I stammer. "I'm here to help you out with that, may I come in?"

Its ten am, September 1, and Mom's bouncing off the walls at King's Cross Station. You would think she was going to this weird new school.
"Ooooo, I'm so jealous baby! My little girl's a witch and she starts learning how today!" she exclaims.
"Shhhh Mom! Someone's going to hear you!"
"Pfft! No one's paying any attention to us; they're trying to find their trains too!"
Personally, I'm terrified. I don't know what to expect and I'll be away from my mom for months at a time. I'm only 11! (Twelve in a couple of weeks, but still!) "Mom! Where are you going? This is platform 9."
"Yeah, but you need 9 and ¾! Now where is it?" she asks.
Just then someone walked by and disappeared right into the stone column in front of us. "Mom, did you see that?" I ask.
"Yeah, I wonder…." She starts walking towards it. "Bella, come here. I think I know where to go." I grab the trolley and come to her. She grabs my hand and walks to the column. "Stay with me, the worse thing that could happen is we walk into a wall."
I don't know about this, but I walk with her slowly. The trolley touches the wall and disappears! "Thought so!" mom exclaims. Next thing I know the column disappears and I'm staring at a train! "Oh my goodness, you were right!" I gasp. "Ooo look at everyone! I didn't know there were so many people like you honey. Now let's find you a good seat." She starts walking toward the train.
"Mom, wait. What if there's no one like me? What if I'm a freak?" I ask. "It's okay dear. I'm sure you aren't the only one who grew up with, what did she call me? Oh yeah, muggles."
We climb on to the train and my mom finds me an empty compartment near the end. "Now promise me that you'll try to make some friends and don't be so shy so much, okay?"
"I'll try mom." I give her the biggest hug I can. "You'll write me all the time, right?" I ask. "Of course dear. Now don't be nervous, try you best in class, and be good. I love you." "Love you too." I give her another squeeze and she kisses my cheek. "I'll see you at Christmas break honey, bye." "Bye….." I hide the tears that try to start and sit down by my trunk.
Mom's gone for about ten minutes when the door to the compartment opens again. It's a girl about my age with bushy brown hair.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?" she asks. "O-o-Kay." I stammer.
"I'm Hermione Grainger. This is my first year, I'm muggleborn, and you are?" she asks kind of snobbish.
"I'm Bella Swan. This is my first time too and I'm also muggleborn."
"Wow, may I ask where you're from? Sorry, but your accent is different…." "Its okay, I'm from Phoenix Arizona, that's in America. My mom and I moved here about six months ago." "Huh, interesting. I'm so excited about this! I've already read the books and it's all so interesting!" She keeps gabbing on about what she's researched about Hogwarts. I think I've found my first friend in this crazy new life.

Here I am again, probably the same compartment as before, five years later and I can't wait to see what's going to happen this year. Hermione's still around and she's now my best friend. Along with Harry and Ron we've gone through so much over the years. Now that the Ministry's finally agreeing that Voldemort's back, everyone wants a piece of Harry since he's the "Chosen One". It makes things a little difficult, but we manage.
A bunch of giggling girls walk by trying to get a glimpse of the now famous Harry Potter, while trying failing to look nonchalant.
"Harry, your fan club's walking by again." I say giggling.
"Ugh! Someone hide me! I think I'm going to go through this year under my cloak." he says.
Hermione giggles. "I've learned the bat-boogey hex from Ginny, you want me to try it out?" she giggles again.
"Yea right! Maybe with all the girls hanging around this year, Harry and I can find dates this time." Ron says. "Are you sure you want a girl who's only trying to be seen with the 'Chosen One'?" I air-quoted. "Nah, she's right Ron. But may we can practice our skills on some." Harry says while nudging Ron. Hermione and I look at each other, "Men, ugh!" we say together.
We're interrupted by Luna walking in. "Harry a professor wanted me to give this to you." Harry opens it. "It's an invite to lunch with Professor Slughorn. I guess I'll see you guys later." And he leaves with his cloak. Probably just incase he gets mobbed on the way.
The snack cart comes by and rest of us goof off the rest of the way to school. Harry didn't come back; I hope he meets us at the feast.

The gang and I are sitting at the Gryffindor table in the great hall, minus one Harry.
"I wonder what's keeping him?" asks Ginny.
"I'm sure he's around. Don't worry so much." Ron says around a mouth full of food. We're starting on dessert when Harry finally walks in covering a bloody nose.
"Is your nose alright?" I ask him.
"Yea I bumped it, no big deal." He looks over at the Slytherin table and Draco's obviously telling a story and mimes stomping on a nose.
"Grrrrrrr…..he's such a jerk." I growl.
Just then Dumbledore starts his speech. He says the normal things: welcome, what and where's forbidden. Then, "I would like to introduce Professor Slughorn whom has graciously accepted his old post in Potions. Which means Professor Snape will now be taking over Defense against the Dark Arts."
"No way!" "He's always wanted that!" "But the position's cursed!" students exclaim. My friends just stare at each other wide-eyed.
"And also I would like to warn you. Starting tomorrow there will be a coven of vampires staying with us." All the students went crazy about this and Pf. Dumbledore has to yell to get his point across.
"Now! Now! There's no need for alarm! This coven doesn't drink human blood, they drink only from animals. Now I won't say they're completely harmless, but everything should be fine. They are here to not only to help protect the school, but to also help out during the classes studying them. They will be here in the morning and I know you all will give them the same courtesy that you would give the professors and Aurors. Now off to bed. Off to bed."
Everyone's taking about the vampires on the way to the common room. "He's going to have to deal with a lot of parents after this one. Remember when they found out Lupin was a werewolf? This is going to backfire on him." Hermione groans.
"Oh I don't know, I think it's going to be fun watching students run from them. Never a boring day is it? I ask
"Boring, what's that?" Harry asks with a smirk.

There you have it chapter 1! Please let me know how it looks so far. As a warning: there will be few cannon couples in this one. And definitely no Edward/Bella or Bella/Harry, I'll let her love interest remain a mystery for right now. I'm going to try to stay with the original Half Blood Prince plot with Bella and the Cullen's added in. Next update will be chapter 2 and will be Alice POV.
