We walked into the Great Hall and I was struck by how amazing it was. Although I had just been here last night I was too overwhelmed to take it all in. Now I looked up at the ceiling which showed a sunny sky and wished the Cullens could see this.
"He actually thinks we would take the stupid class!" I tuned in and listened to their conversation. From what I could tell they were talking about Hagrid and his class, Care of Magical Creatures. Although I hadn't heard good things about it, but I had thought it sounded fun. I thought it sounded kind of interesting, although at the same time it also sounded kind of dangerous. Maybe if I got hurt bad enough they would send me home. No, that's not fair. I said I would try the school for two weeks.
In a few minutes Hagrid stood up and left the staff table. They all waved to him without meeting his eyes.
"What classes are you taking?" It took me a few seconds to register the fact that Harry's question was to me.
"I don't know," I replied. "Whatever I have to take to graduate. I have been keeping up with the curriculum, but I didn't take the O.W.L.S. I'll probably just go wherever the Professors tell me to go."
"Do you plan on living in the wizard world when you finish school?" Ron asked as Hermione elbowed him hard in the side.
"Um," I stammered. "It depends. I wasn't really planning on it."
"How will you live in the muggle world though? I mean after you know what's out there." Hermione elbowed him again, even harder this time.
I just shrugged my shoulders in response. I could tell that Hermione was dying to ask something but thought it would be too rude. Although I could ask her what it was, I wanted the conversation to turn away from me for a few minutes.
"Is it always sunny in here?" I asked.
"No, not always," Hermione replied. She began telling me examples of times when it was cloudy or raining or whatever. I nodded as I listened and tried to keep my mind from wandering. The ache was bigger than ever.
We finished eating and waited for Professor McGonagall to leave the staff table. When she did a line began forming around her and we rushed to get near the front.

Hermione went first and was quickly cleared for all of her classes. Next went a boy that I had been told was Neville. Soon Ron and Harry were up. They both seemed pleased about their classes. Then it was my turn.
"Isabella Swan. What have you considered taking?" the professor asked.
"I really don't know," I replied. "I didn't take the O.W.L.S., so I don't know what I'm allowed to take."
"Well, looking at the tests you took from home, it looks like you are eligible to take almost anything. Do you have any interests? The one thing I recommend that you take is Defense Against Dark arts. That's not something you were able to really study at home and I think it would be a good idea for you to learn more about that."
"Ok," I answered, still thinking. "I looked over the brochures Dumbldore sent me, and I was also thinking of taking care of magical creatures. I understand from talking to other students though that it is not a very popular course."
"No, I don't think any sixth years have signed up to take it again. If you would like to take it though, then I encourage you to try."
I talked to the Professor for a few more minutes before she told me to come see her for a longer session later, I was holding up the line. My face began to get red and I nodded in agreement. By the end of our conversation I had decided to take, Defense against dark arts, care of magical creatures, and potions. Potions had always been something that had interested me. I would see her tonight before dinner to decide what else I should take.
I began walking up to the common room with Harry and Ron. Ron talked excitedly about all of their free periods as Harry listened. I pretended to examine the walls and ceilings as I thought about Edward. There was no way I was going to make two weeks.
"Isabella!" I turned around and saw a first year stumbling towards me as he tried to slow down. I still needed to find someway to get the word around that I liked to be called Bella, although that really didn't matter if I Wasn't going to be here long anyways. The first year came to a halt next to the three of us and Harry and Ron turned in curiosity. "Dumbldore wants to see you."
I nodded my head and noticed the little kid staring at HArry. "Ok thanks," I mumbled. The little kid still stared.
"Scat!" Ron said, shooting the kid an evil look.
"I'll meet you guys up there in a few minutes." I mumbled before turning away.
"See you," Ron and Harry both replied before they began walking back up the stairs.
I made my way through the throng of kids moving towards the commons and down to Dumbldores office. Snape was just about the say the password when I arrived.
"Miss Swan, I hear you'll be taking my class this year. Make sure you keep up, I will not slow down for those who do not understand."
I nodded my head mutely. He said the password and then quickly turned and began walking away. He glanced back and saw my confused expression.
"I was going to talk with Dumbldore, but if you have an appointment with him I will come back at another time." He continued to walk away as I stepped onto the moving staircase.
It reached the top and I stepped off into Dumbldores office. I look up and froze. Sitting on a chair in front of the destkwas the very person I had been dreaming about since the second I left Forks. His perfect face was more perfect than I remembered. I ran towards him, not noticing the sad, torched expression on his face. He held out his arms and stood up. I grabbed him tightly. Someone cleared there throat.
"Edward here as volunteered to come to tell you some very sad news, news that he did not want for you to have to hear second hand." I looked up at Edwards face and noticed his expression.
"What... what... happened?" I muttered.
"Bella, I'm sorry to say that someone you love very much has passed away."
