Chapter One
Bloodlust
I felt better as I got on the Hogwarts Express. Bella was safe, and I wouldn't have to worry about dealing with that scent anymore. I sate down in an empty carriage, and leaned my head against the window. A younger girl, about Alice's 'age' knocked at the door. "Can I sit down?" she said, in a singsong voice. She had a magazine in her hands. She had waist-length dirty blonde hair, she was wearing Butterbeer corks for a necklace, and she had her wand stuck behind her ear for safekeeping. She smiled at me, and sat down opposite me. She turned the magazine upside down and started reading. She didn't seem to blink much. Then again, neither did I. "About? There's only Loony Lovegood and that other boy in here-" I heard a voice say. "Don't be silly." The voice laughed. "She's all right." One second later, the body that the voice belonged to was sliding the compartment doors open. She had fiery red hair, hand-me-down clothes, and a battered old trunk. She came in. Two other boys followed. One was skinny and had jet-black hair. The other was a bit fat, and his ears stuck out. "Hi, Luna." The girl said. I assumed that this was the girl that was sitting opposite me. "Mind if we sit here?" I saw her eyes scan the two boys, and came to rest on the one with glasses. She nodded. "Thanks." The girl said. She looked over at me curiously. "Are you new?" she asked. "I think I would have remembered you if I'd seen you around." I turned around to face her.
"Edward Cullen."
"Aren't you that vampire boy?" Luna asked, still in her singsong voice. My head snapped up.
"I don't know what you're talking about." The other girl rolled her eyes.
"Luna's a bit well…Loony. That's why everyone calls her Loony Lovegood. Don't take it personally." She whispered in my ear. "I'm Ginny Weasly, by the way. That's Neville Longbottom," She pointed to the fat one. "And Harry. Harry Potter." They all stared at me for a fraction of a second, as if wanting to see if I would have a reaction. I had no idea why. There was silence in the compartment for a minute. Then, "Had a good summer, Luna?" Ginny asked.
"Yes," Luna said. "It was quite enjoyable, you know."
"Everyone, Luna's in my year. She's in Ravenclaw."
"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." Luna sang.
There was silence for another few minutes. The train moved, through the countryside. Then, Neville broke the silence.
"Guess what I got for my birthday?"
"Another Rememberall?" Harry asked.
"No. I could do with one, though, I lost the old one ages ago…no, look at this." He pulled out a disgusting looking plant. "Mimbulus Mimbletonia."
I didn't catch the rest of the conversation, only that 1 minute later we were all covered in pus. Stinksap. I thought. Then, the compartment door slid open. "Oh…Hello Harry," the girl said in a nervous voice. "Um…bad time?"
"Oh…hi."
"Um…well…just thought I'd say hello…bye then."
An hour past slowly. I was joining in conversation now, and laughing with them. It actually felt quite nice to have some friends. Or at least, acquaintances. We were busy swapping chocolate frog cards when the compartment door slid open, and a boy who had red hair and a girl who had bushy brown hair walked inside, followed by an orange cat and an owl. "I'm starving." The red haired boy said. Then the girl walked in. My senses were suddenly overwhelmed. Oh. My. God. And I'd thought Bella's scent was tempting. But it was nothing, absolutely nothing compared to this. Worst of all, she was pretty too. Beautiful. I realised I wasn't breathing. Good. I'd learned. I stood up. "I need to go." I said.
"Are you sure?" Harry asked. I nodded.
"Bye." I said. I picked up my trunk and went to find Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper. I exhaled after I got out of the compartment. Nice, fresh, non-tempting air. "Where we you?" Emmett demanded when I found them. I shrugged. "He was off meeting friends." Alice smirked. I rolled my eyes. Alice never missed a chance to show off her abilities. "Oh, yeah?" Emmett said. "I can tell the future too. Look, he's gonna put his trunk down and sit down."
"Obviously."
"Obviously, you're an idiot."
"Pretty mature for someone who's lived 1000 years."
"That's an exaggeration."
"Will you too cut it out?" Rosalie interrupted.
"I'm TRYING to sleep."
"But you can't sleep." Jasper interjected.
She rolled her eyes. "Shut it."
"First-years line up over here, please! All first-years to me!" a brisk, female voice called out. I walked across the station and saw carriages, all lined up. Pulling the carriages were Thestrals. I got in a carriage. Then, the girl walked inside, the boy, Harry and Luna following. "In here." She said.
"Hi Edward." Luna said brightly.
"Hey, Luna. Neville."
"Edward, this is Hermione Granger," Neville gestured to the girl. "And Ron Weasly." Obviously Ginny's brother. Hermione held out her hand. I didn't touch her. I inhaled as she sat down. It was going to be a long, long ride. If I didn't get out. I looked toward the door, but it was closed. We were moving. Too late. I didn't like the idea of sitting beside Hermione for any length of time at all.
After the sorting, Dumbledore stepped forward to announce the Cullens. "Everyone, these are our new students from America. Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Edward and Alice Cullen. Alice will be sorted first. She will be in the fourth year. I hope you will welcome her and her family warmly."
"I know what house we're all gonna be in." Alice whispered, just loud enough that only vampires could hear. I rolled my eyes. Alice sat down on the stool, and the hat on her head shouted, "RAVENCLAW!" She winked at me, and sat down next to her new classmates. "Emmett Cullen next. He will be in the sixth year." Dumbledore added. Emmett sat down.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Jasper Cullen will also be in the sixth year."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Rosalie Cullen will be in the sixth year as well."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"And, Edward Cullen. He will be in fifth year."
I sat down. "Now, now." A voice whispered. I had no doubts that it came from the hat. "Very strong, and wise. Maybe Ravenclaw. Very kind. Maybe Hufflepuff. But maybe," the hat shouted the next word, "GRYFFINDOR!"
I sat down at the table. Oh, no. Hermione. She was in this house? I shook my head. It didn't matter. Once I told Carlisle about her, we wouldn't be staying long. Much to Rosalie's delight.
