Here we go! They finally meet! About time I finally got to it right? Haha!
Meeting the Family
The Hogwarts students looked around at the Cullen family as they entered the living room. Sitting on the couch were two females and two males. One of the females was the crazy pixie, Alice. Next to her was a man that had blond hair that reached his shoulders and a strong frame. He sat tensely in his seat as he held Alice's hand. Next to him was the other female who was outstandingly beautiful with her perfect features and long blonde hair. She had a stony expression that lightly softened as she looked at the younger, nervous faces. Holding her hand was a very big, burly man who had short brown hair and a large, playful smile. Standing to the far left, looking through the sliding glass doors to the backyard was a man that looked like an older Cedric. They had the same figure, though the man's was a little stronger, the same facial features, and the same bronze colored hair. Cedric couldn't take his eyes off the man who paid him no mind.
"Children, meet my family. My wife Esme," the brown haired woman smiled and waved, "and my children Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, and the one by the window is Edward." Carlisle introduced them. Alice waved excitedly and Emmett boomed "Hey, munchkins!" while Rosalie and Jasper just nodded. Edward looked up and did a double take when he saw Cedric, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
"Yo, Eddie, it's your decedent!" Emmett said, laughing.
Edward shot him a glare. "Shut up, Emmett, and don't call me Eddie." He said before turning to the window again.
"Why don't you all introduce yourselves and tell the Cullens something about you." Kingsley suggested. The kids shared a look wondering who was going to go first.
Luna danced forward and smiled at the family. "I'm Luna Lovegood! Pleasure to meet you. I live with my daddy who owns a paper called the Quibbler. Did you know that there's a Wrackspurt flying around the room?" Everyone looked around, Emmett looking like he was getting ready to fight, but they saw nothing. They gave Luna a weird look.
"What's a Wrackspunk?" Emmett asked.
"Wrackspurt." She corrected. "And they're little invisible creatures that fly through your ears and make your brain go all fuzzy." She said dreamily, receiving more weird and unnerved looks.
There was silence, no one knowing how to respond. Finally Harry stepped forward. "Um, I guess I'll go." He said hesitantly. "I'm Harry Potter. I'm twelve. I'll be turning thirteen at the end of the month. Uh, and I, uh…I like to cook." Harry finished, quickly walking to stand next to Hermione again.
Hermione gave him a bright smile before cautiously stepping forward. Don't be intimidated, Hermione, they're just people. You're a Gryffindor, you got this. She thought to herself and with that she stepped forward with confidence.
When Edward heard these thoughts he turned to listen to the girl who just perked his interest.
"Hello, I'm Hermione Granger. I'm thirteen years old. I like to read and I love to learn new things." She said, not stuttering once as she met all of their eyes. Edward read everyone's minds, wondering what they thought of the girl.
So confident
Typical Granger
There you go, Hermione
Oh, there's a Wrackspurt above Blaise's head
Adorable
I can feel her nervousness. Should I calm her down?
Oh, I really need to bring her shopping. Her clothes just won't do
Little Mudblood
She seems very intelligent
She sounds like you, Eddie boy! Edward stopped at that one, glaring at Emmett as he grinned.
Hermione didn't notice as she stepped back to place between Harry and Dean who smiled at her as she sighed in relief. She didn't know why she had been so nervous, but she never had been that great with meeting new people. Whenever she tried to make friends she was often rejected.
As Edward read her thoughts he gained more and more interest in the girl.
Dean went forward, trying to muster up his Gryffindor courage. "Hi, I'm Dean Thomas. I'm also thirteen. I love to draw and play soccer." He smiled excitedly when talking about his two passions. Rose's eyes lit up at the boy's excitement and couldn't help but immediately like this boy, causing Alice to smirk.
Cedric decided that he would go next. "Hello, I'm Cedric Diggory." The Cullens stared at the Edward look-a-like in amazement. Well this isn't weird or anything. Cedric thought and Edward had to stop himself from snorting. "I'm sixteen. I am a very athletic person, so I like any kind of sport you can think of. I'm a people person and make it my goal to make people laugh. Hmm, anything else? Uhh, nope, that's it I guess." He smiled cheerily before going back to his place.
Emmett laughed, "I think I like him better than you, Eddie." He said.
Edward smirked. "Good, maybe you'll leave me alone and bother him instead." He said and the Cullens laughed as Emmett pouted.
Draco walked forward. "I'm Draco Malfoy. I just turned thirteen two days ago. Uh, I like Quidditch, a wizard sport, and I'm pretty smart." Hermione and Harry narrowed their eyes in confusion. Since when was Draco modest? "I'm good at chess, but mostly I just like to be by myself. Well, Blaise is an exception." He said, motioning for the Italian African American boy to come forward, which he did cautiously. "This is Blaise Zabini. He doesn't talk…ever. So, if you can get him to talk, hats off to you."
"Challenge accepted." Emmett said, smiling confidently.
"Emmett." Carlisle said in a warning tone only to be given an innocent look in return.
No one noticed Edward's head snap up in alarm, staring at Hermione in surprise.
Draco smirked. "Good luck with that. Anyways, you could definitely consider him a bookworm. He's pretty athletic too. The two of us are kind of a package deal, so you'll find us not too far apart. And that's it, I guess." Ending their introduction, the two went back to their place behind the group.
Harry and Hermione were quite surprise. For once Draco didn't boast about how great he was or how pure his blood was. He didn't insult anyone or act like he was superior. He was actually nice, something the two Gryffindors didn't think he could ever be.
Marcus gave a bored huff before he stepped forward. "I'm Marcus Flint. Sixteen. I don't want to be here. So, don't bother me and I won't bother you." With that said, he stepped back into his place.
"Flint." Kingsley sighed.
Marcus gave him a look. "What? It's better to tell it straight up then spend the time here making everyone miserable because I'm miserable." He said.
Kingsley shook his head. "Good luck with that one." He told the Cullens before turning to the kids. "Okay, there's one more thing we must discus before I leave."
"They knows." Edward interrupted. Everyone turned to look at him.
"What?" Alice asked.
"Hermione and Blaise figured it out." Edward said, staring at the astonished girl and the unnerved boy in slight awe.
Hermione stared at him in astonishment. "So you are vampires?" Hermione asked, but it came out more like a statement.
"Vampires?!" Draco yelled.
"You're kidding right?" Cedric added.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Marcus said. "So, Dumbledork puts us in hiding to avoid danger only to put us in even more danger?" he asked incredulously. "I always knew he was a stupid old buffoon." He muttered.
"Shut up, Flint." Cedric snapped.
"Boys." Hermione said, only to be ignored.
Marcus smirked. "No, I don't think I will, Diggory."
Cedric growled. "Let me reword that. Shut up or I'll make you." He said.
"Boys." Hermione said a little louder.
"Oh, yeah Diggory? I'd like to see you try." Marcus said cockily.
Cedric glared. "Oh yeah? Watch me." He said as he advanced towards the boy.
Hermione rushed forward and grabbed the back of Cedric's shirt, yanking him back as she yelled, "BOYS!" and stepped between the two. "You're both acting stupid!" Marcus looked affronted while Cedric, though he was still mad, looked a little ashamed of himself. Hermione gave Marcus a fierce glare that actually made him take a step back. "And Dumbledore is not a buffoon. These vampires are completely safe." She said.
"How would you know?" Marcus sneered down at her and Cedric almost advanced on him again.
"Because I actually read more than I'm told to in school." She snapped back. "Or at all." She added, looking him up and down and Cedric snorted at Marcus' offended look. Hermione turned to the rest of the group. "Haven't you noticed? Their eyes are golden not red. If vampires have gold eyes then that means they're vegetarians." she said. She was met with blank stares which caused her to huff. Edward smiled at her agitation and Blaise smirked slightly, being the only one who knew what she was talking about. "Vegetarian vampires drink animal blood, not human blood." She said.
"Oh." They said, now understanding.
"Oh." Hermione mocked, causing Edward to outright laugh.
"So, you're not going to kill us?" Dean asked hesitantly.
Emmett smirked. "We'll think about it." He said. Dean's eyes grew wide and Rosalie hit the back of Emmett's head hard. "Ow!" he whined, rubbing his head.
Rosalie rolled her eyes before turning to Dean. "Of course not, sweetheart." She reassured him and he sighed in relief, though he was still a little unnerved.
Kingsley smiled at them. "I afraid I must leave. I will be checking up on you every three weeks. You cannot send any messages because they can easily be tracked. So, every time I visit I will take any letters you may have and deliver them for you." He said and they nodded. "Be good." He looked at Marcus as he said this. Marcus rolled his eyes. Kingsley turned to Hermione. "Keep them in line."
Hermione smiled while the boys gave sounds of protest. "Of course." She said, smirking up at Marcus who felt a little queasy while looking at her Malfoy worthy smirk.
Kingsley chuckled and turned to the Cullens. "Please take good care of them. This is a special group of kids."
Carlisle chuckled. "We can tell. We will protect them with our lives." He promised.
"Thank you. Good luck." Kingsley said. "Goodbye children." He said before disappearing on the spot.
Esme smiled down at them. "I hope you'll like your stay here. We have four spare rooms, so that puts two to a room. How about the girls to one room," Hermione looked at Luna warily while said girl just smiled dreamily, "Draco and Blaise in another," the two boys shared a smile, "Harry and Dean in another," the boys fist bumped, causing Hermione to laugh, "and Cedric and Marcus in the last one." She said, looking at the two with caution. The two glared at each other fiercely.
"This summer is going to be…interesting." Dean said and Hermione and Harry nodded as the two fifth years glared each other down.
As you can probably tell, they won't be on the best terms, but that makes it all the more fun right?! Also, GO HERMIONE! Haha, I love that girl. Review!
