Well to begin I want to start by thanking everyone who faved, followed, or reviewed chapter 1. I was honestly surprised by the turn out this story received. I can't wait to see people's reactions to chapter two in all honesty. I'd love a few reviews telling me what everyone thinks of the story. On a side note the point of view will be changing up from chapter to chapter obviously, though in some chapters the point of view will change throughout the chapter. As I said before I don't own twilight or Harry Potter. IF you thought I did, I wish, but the only stories I own are in my head and have yet to be published. Anyway with that said on to chapter 2 I guess where we get to see what Bella thinks of our new student who just appeared out of the blue.
Chapter 2: The new kid.
Bella's POV:
I got out of bed sighing and looked at myself in the mirror. My dark brown hair fell down past my shoulders, my brown eyes were staring back at me and my slightly pale skin was showing around my loose t shirt and shorts I wore to bed. I sighed and got into the shower not thinking about much other than the fact I hadn't heard from my boyfriend Edward in a day or two, but there wasn't much going on so I wasn't too worried. I walked out of the shower and dried off then got dressed in a cream colored blouse, and faded blue jeans.
I walked downstairs and made Charlie and I breakfast. He smiled at me and said "Thanks Bells, you want a ride to school or is your truck going to be fine?" I smiled at him knowing this was a peace offering and said "The truck will be fine Dad, no worries." He nodded and went back to his coffee while I finished my juice and grabbed my bag and keys from by the door before heading out. I glanced up at the sky to see how the weather was and noticed the sun was making an uncommon appearance which meant either the Cullens wouldn't be at school today or they'd be waiting to see if the clouds moved in before arriving. I sighed as I thought about Edward and tossed my bag into my passenger seat then climbed into the trunk and headed toward the school.
As I arrived at the school the clouds came out and covered the sky again and everyone glanced up. I shrugged and started toward the cafeteria where Jess, Ange, Ben, Mike, Taylor, and Lauren were probably gathered. As I headed into the school I caught a sight of black hair and green eyes out of the corner of my eye. I turned to see who could have such different features only to see a new guy with blonde hair and grey eyes smiling at me. I smiled back and continued into school. As soon as I got our table my friends started talking about the new guy.
Lauren and Jess went on about how hot he was Mike joked that it was odd for someone to join school so late in the year, and I thought about that seriously. Why would someone who didn't seem to have a reason to be in Forks, A. Join high school toward the end of the year, B. Move here in the first place, and C. Seem familiar to me? I shook my head and went back to listening to the others. Mike continued making jokes about the new guy until Ben said "Well I don't know if he's a serial killer or not Mike, but I invited him to sit with us at lunch. Of course since the day is cloudy the Cullens will probably be here, so I guess you'll be sitting with them, right Bella?" I slowly nodded.
I got up as Edward and the others entered the school. I noticed Alice had an interested look on her face and wondered what had perked her interest. The Cullens saw me as I walked over and Edward got up then gently kissed me before saying "I have some things to tell you, but not now." I nodded and cuddled up with him at the table as the new guy walked past munching on an apple before the bell rang. Everyone got up and headed to their classes.
I headed to my first class of the day and noticed as the classes started going on that the teacher's seemed distracted. They weren't getting onto people for talking, they would go on and on for a bit then stop suddenly, and they would all glance at the door. At least that's what happened my first two classes. However my third period the new guy was introduced and everything seemed to go back to normal. He was introduced as Harry Potter and he smiled at everyone then took the desk beside me.
He held out a hand and said "Hi I'm Harry." I smiled and said "Hi Harry I'm Bella." He smiled and said "Nice to meet you," then turned back to the front of the room where the teacher was starting to assign project partners for our research paper. He pointed at me and said "Isabella Swan and Harry Potter." I blinked a few times and sighed realizing there was no getting out of it. I glanced at Harry who seemed as surprise d as I was. I didn't think Edward was going to be very happy about this. Eventually class ended and Harry said "So I guess I'll see you at lunch, or do you want to meet after school to discuss our project?"
I thought about it and said "I guess we can meet after school. I'll just have to tell my boyfriend." He raised an eyebrow but didn't comment thankfully then we split up. I went to my fourth period while he went to his. Fourth period passed uneventfully and the bell rang to signal for lunch. I walked out of the room and saw Harry walking by which he nodded at me politely and continued on his way. I followed him until I got to my locker then tossed my books in and closed it only for Edward to appear and lean down to kiss me. I mentally sighed feeling like this was getting old even though I was used to Edward and his controlling attitude.
I kissed him back and the two of us walked to the lunch room and saw Alice and the other Cullens staring as Edward and I sat down. I poked her in the shoulder getting her attention and said "What's wrong?" She blinked and said "I can't see the new guy's future. I tried but I just couldn't get a read on him, Jasper can't read his emotions and he seems so different from anyone else." I blinked and said "That's odd, Edward can you read his mind?" Edward focused on Harry then slowly shook his head and said "No. I can't get a read on him." I nodded and muttered "He is different I guess." The Cullens looked at me questioningly and I said "We're paired up as partners in our History class third period."
Alice smiled and said "Cool, so that means you get to know him better. You think after a while you can introduce us to him?" I thought about it and said "I could introduce you guys after school because he wants to come work on the project at my place." Edward grumbled but the rest of the Cullens seemed to like the idea. Alice started off on shopping after that and I tuned her out thinking about the meeting at the end of the day. I got up as the bell rang and headed to the rest of my classes which passed rather uneventfully other than biology.
Edward was being more over protective than usual and said something about not liking the new guy. I figured it was just because he couldn't read his mind so I brushed it off. Edward walked me to my last class of the day and then headed off to his own class. We met up at the end of the period and walked out to my truck. Harry saw us and walked over as the other Cullens appeared and said "Hey Bella, you still want to work on our project?" I nodded and said "Of course Harry, but before we leave I would like to introduce you to my boyfriend Edward and his family. The blonde girl is Rosalie Hale, the guy next to her is her boyfriend Emmet, the slightly shorter guy next to him is Jasper Hale, the pixie with dark hair is Alice Cullen, and the guy holding onto me is Edward."
Harry smiled politely at them and held out his hand saying "Nice to meet you, I'm Harry Potter." Jasper shook his hand looking into his eyes, followed by Emmet. Rosalie and Alice were studying him carefully both seeming to sense something about him the rest of us couldn't see. He smiled and said "So you guys are all family, huh?" The Cullens nodded and he said "Awesome, the number of you reminds me of some friends from back home. Anyway I guess me and Bella should head out." I nodded and kissed Edward then climbed into my truck while Harry walked over to a simple black nondescript ford focus.
The Cullens went and piled into their vehicles then drove to their place while Harry followed me. I pulled up in front of the house and saw Charlie's cruiser. I parked in my usual spot and Harry parked leaving room for Charlie or I to get out past him if we needed to. He got out of his car and followed me into the house where Charlie was sitting inside at the kitchen table sipping a cup of coffee. I walked in and kissed his cheek saying "Hi dad, this is my new friend Harry, he came over so we can work on our history project together." My dad got up and held out his hand which Harry shook firmly. Harry smiled and said "Hello Chief Swan, I'm Harry Potter." Charlie blinked and said "How'd you know I was the police chief, Harry?"
Harry shrugged and said "I heard about it at school, and since the only Swan besides Bella was Chief Swan I put two and two together. Sorry if I surprised you." Charlie waved it off and Harry and I headed upstairs after he and dad talked for a bit. Charlie watched us go and by the look on his face he had no problems with Harry, unlike Edward. I didn't know what his problem with Edward was, but I knew he had a problem with my boyfriend for more reasons than just because he was my boyfriend. I led Harry to my room and sat down on my bed while he leaned on the wall. He pulled his bag off his shoulder and lowered it to the floor then pulled out his history book and said "So should we start on the project, or do you have some other intentions than just working together that you invited me over for."
I blinked surprised at his brisk manner and said "No we can start on the project, unless you just want to talk or something." He shrugged and said "It's your home Bella; I don't plan on interrogating you or anything, though if you plan on interrogating me I'd like to know why." I nodded and said "Alright, let's get our project started then I'll decide if I'm going to interrogate you or not." He chuckled and plopped down in the chair by my desk then asked "So what are we going to do the project on, I personally am partial to the Victorian era." I shrugged and said "Works for me Harry." He nodded and the two of us started scanning our books for anything they had about the Victorian era. Eventually we found a bit and started doing our report talking aloud so the other would know our thoughts.
Finally after about twenty minutes I looked at Harry and said "Alright, now I'll interrogate you, and the reason is because I'm curious about you and obviously I'm gonna end up relaying this stuff to Edward and the Cullens." He nodded and sat back watching me then said "Fire away, but know I will not be telling you everything about me just because you ask and plan on keeping some things about my life to myself." I nodded and started with the simple "Why'd you move to Forks?" He smiled at me and said "A friend told me this place would be good for me to start a new life. I believed her so here I am."
I got a feeling Harry was holding back, but I didn't know how much or what, so I continued "Where'd you live before coming to Forks?" He smiled again and said "Here and there, mostly in England though." I blinked and said "You don't sound British." He laughed softly and said "I worked hard to get rid of the accent." I nodded and asked "Anyone as school catch your attention?" He shook his head and smirked slightly then said "Sadly no, I haven't met anyone who really interested me all that much other than you and the Cullens."
I nodded and he glanced out the window then said "I think that's enough for tonight, I believe I'll leave you to enjoy the rest of your day in peace. I need to get home anyway; I have a few things I need to fix up." I nodded and he walked to the door then I followed him downstairs. I followed him downstairs then started dinner for Charlie and me. I watched out of the corner of my eye as Charlie and Harry talked then Harry left. Charlie walked over and said "I like your new friend Bells." I looked at him and he said "He seems different, but in a good way. He kind of has old eyes, as if he's seen things he really shouldn't have. I only noticed it because I've seen older members of the force who had the same eyes." I nodded thinking about that then finished cooking and the two of us sat down to eat, both of us with our own thoughts about the new boy in town whose eyes were older than his body.
Author's note: Well I guess Harry's secrets aren't quite as secret as he thinks. I wonder how long it will take Bella's intuition to learn everything she can about Harry including why he seems so distant. Wait I already know, so I really should just be asking how long you guys think that it'll take for Bella to figure things out, and if the Cullens will figure anything out before they leave, because yes they will leave, though one or two may stay behind, who knows. Anyway I hope you enjoyed chapter two and am currently working on Chapter 3. Next chapter we meet more characters and see things happen.
