Disclaimer: I would love to own Harry Potter and Twilight. I would also love to own an Ipod. But neither of those is ever gonna happen. So, I shall just have to wheel and deal with it!
A/N: Sup peoples? NM going on here. I actually put this story up on time! ZOMG!!! What a shocker that is! SO, this is the History of Magic chapter where HOPEFULLY Edward makes amends with Bella. You can never tell. They have minds of their own you know. I just write it down. So, I hope you like it. And thank you everyone for the reviews!!! They are very sweet. Keep on reviewing! PEACE!
Bella was silenting wishing for Alice to walk her to class like the had been doing for most of the didn't end up happening though. Alice had skipped on ahead faster than Bella thought possible. Edward was her silent companion all the way to History of Magic. Every now and then Bella would look at to see Edwards face. It was the same everytime. Confusing, angry, yet still very beautiful. Bella would look away blushing each time she had that thought come into her head. She didn't realize that Edwards scowl got even deeper when Bella did this.
The History of Magic classroom door was open and Alice had found a seat next to Mike Newton, he was in Hufflepuff. Bella and Edward took the only remaining desk at the back of the classroom. Edward still hadn't spoken directly to Bella. Nor her to him. Bella had quit her side glances too.
Proffesor Binns had floated through the chalk board just as Bella was about to end the terrible, deafening silence between her and Edward. Most of the class gasped as Binns, the only ghost teacher at Hogwarts, made his dramatic entrance. Binns called role in a drawling voice, as though he were wishing to be other places. Most of the class was wishing for it to end too. Hermione and Alice seemed to be the ones truly awake for the class. Edward was somewhat attentive, most everyone else was falling asleep or doodling on parchment. Bella was busy trying to think of ways to start up conversation. Edward beat her to that.
"Had a nice summer?" Lame question.
"Uh? Yeah, it was really nice. Quiet too." Bella said keeping her voice down. "How was your summer?"
"Fun. If you consider making trouble fun." Edward finally looked at Bella. She could see him out of the corner of her eyes. "I played a few harmless pranks on my brothers, and sisters. Nothing new there." Bella only nodded. "Do you have any siblings?"
"No. I'm an only child. My dad raised me all on his own after my mum died." Bella had no idea why she was being so open with Edward. He didn't even like her.
"Must have been hard for you." Edward said sounding sincere.
"No, not really. I was really young when she died. I hardly knew her. It must be great to have brothers." Bella was opening up to some complete stranger!
"Yeah, a little. They can be annoying sometimes. We're so close in age, so we have most things in common. We like to rough house a lot. Rosalie is a pain though. She's very bossy. Or hadn't you noticed."
"I noticed. She was a little rude, but no problem. She'll grow on me I guess."
"She'd better, or Alice will end up having a feild day. She may not look it, but Alice can be very assertive." Edward laughed.
"Alice showed me that last night when I nearly fell down the stairs." Edward gave Bella a quizzical look. "She kind of snuck up behind me, screamed hi, and I tripped. She caught me though. Alice is pretty strong for someone so small."
"Sounds just like her. No worries though. Rosalie likes you, she just won't say it out loud. It's a test to see if she can get rid of you. That's how she picks her friends. If she could, she would do it to her family too. Mum wouldn't like that at all." Edward laughed a bit at that. Bella couldn't take it anymore, so she turned to look at Edward. Bella was able to catch the remains of Edwards laugh.
Bella inhaled as quietly as she could. Edwards eyes. From a distance Bella had thought them to be a light shade of hazel, up close they were green. Almost a sunny green. Not nearly as promanat as Harry's, but much brighter.
"Something wrong?" Edward asked after he saw that Bella had not moved for about a minute.
"Wha...?" Bella shook herself out of her daze. "Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking of some stuff. Sorry."
"That wasn't what I asked." Edward said sounding annoyed with Bella.
"I would have answered the same way, whatever the question was." Bella replied.
"Really? What if I asked you what your favorite color was?"
"Then I would have looked like an idiot, making no sense what-so-ever."
"What is it then?"
"Purple." That was a lie, but Bella wasn't about to tell Edward that. "Yours?"
"Brown." Edward shrugged.
"Why brown?" Bella couldn't think of a more sad color.
"Brown is warm." Bella had to put her foot in her mouth on that one. "What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?" Random questions begin!
"I normally read, or watch TV wth my dad." Bella was a very simple person.
"TV?" Edward gave her a look that ment he was confused. "Nevermind. I don't really understand muggle stuff. I guess I'll have to take Muggle Studies in third year."
"Moving pictures that talk. That's the best way to describe what television is." Bella answered.
"I thought you said it was TV." Edward pointed out.
"TV is just short for television. An abrieviation."
"Oh. Must be nice. You know, growing up knowing and living the muggle way, but also learning to be magical." Edward starred off into space at this thought.
"Not really. It's tough not knowing what everyone else does. I don't know what's allowed and what isn't. This morning I heard someone ran into Peeves, and all I did was say 'So?' I felt so bad hearing later on hearing that it was an evil little poltergeist running a muck on someone."
"Priceless!" Edward laughed louder than he dared.
"Mr. Coleson! If you will, please pay attention to the lesson." Proffesor Binns called from the front of the class.
"It's Cullen, sir. And yes, I'll pay more attention, sir." Edward gave a small head gesture, and Proffesor Binns continued with the lesson on Emeric the Evil and Uric the Oddball. Bella had to hold in a laugh.
"He called you Coleson. That's funny." Bella chocked out after Edward gave her a warning glance.
"Just watch what he calls you." With that Edward poked Bella in the rib cage. Bella jumped up from her chair with a loud squeak! Her eyes went round when the entire class errupted in laughter.
"Mrs. Swamps, if you and Mr. Caltrain can't keep quiet for the rest of the lesson, I'm afraid I'll have to dock Ravenclaw some house points. Am I clear?"
"It's Swan, Proffesor. And yes, you're clear, sir." Bella said turning red as she sank back into her chair.
Edward had a wide grin spread across his face as Bella placed her head on the desk. Bella didn't move for the rest of the class. Nor did she speak to Edward when he tried to get back into their random questioning. When the bell rang for class to end, Bella loaded her notes, and flew from the class, but mainly from Edward. He caught up to her easily.
"Are you that mad at my joke?" Edward prodded. Bella was quiet. "Can I make amends?" Still no answer. "I'll tell Alice you're ignoring me." Edward threatened. Bella continued to walk ahead, having no idea to where she was going. Edward decided to make Bella talk by any means necessary, so he poked her in the ribs again.
Bella squeaked even louder than the first time. A group of sixth year Slytherins happened to be passing at the time. If it were possible Bella tunred even redder. The Slytherins left the corridor with loud laughter still ringing after them. It would be a short amount of time before the whole school knew about Squeaky Bell.
"You giant git!" Bella screamed at Edward before leaving him standing dumb struck in the corridor alone. Or so he thought.
"Way to go, Eddie." Alice said patting her brother on the back and flying after Bella.
