Sorry I haven't updated in a while and thanks for the reviews!
~Chapter 4~
'Ooh, you better go over to Professor McGonagall as soon as you enter the castle she'll help, follow the first years,' Hermione squeaks at me.
'Oh thank you! Hopefully I'll see you round the castle, bye,' I wave at them flashing them a grin I don't mean at all
When I enter the castle I look straight ahead to see a women shouting at some first years to get in line. I can just imagine Draco turning his nose up and sneering at her.
I walk forward and take a small breath. I hope I look innocent maybe even a little shy. 'Hello, Professor, My name is Bella Salaura; I'm new at Hogwarts,'
'Oh your the new student, you'll be in the fifth year,' She flashes me a small smile before continuing 'My name is Professor McGonagall, wait until we call you in to be seated, the hat will decide which house you shall be in at your time at Hogwarts,'
'Thank you.' I say
Wow, it is hard to pretend to be innocent when you get people like her, she just feels like someone who is really patronising. Maybe it's just the fact that I know I'm going to have to be in Gryffindor that's putting me in a bad mood. Well worse mood, I'm still not delighted about being at Hogwarts in the first place. I swear I'm going to have to meet up with Draco at least once I week if I'm going to avoid throwing curses at people.
A small cough behind me brings me out of my thoughts, I must have really zoned out.
'Miss Salaura, it is time for you to be seated,' Professor McGonagall says, sounding slightly excited
I walk into the hall to face the stares of many students; might as well make an impression. My cheeks start to lightly blush. I can feel Dumbledore trying to get into my mind. How dare he? Well he can swallow this. I let a few thoughts slip out 'Wow this is very scary' and 'Just remember one foot in front of the other and look straight forward'. That should put him on the wrong track, I sound completely innocent.
'Salaura Isabella, please take your seat on the stool and put on the hat,' Professor McGonagall says breaking the still silence
As I walk forward I make the point of looking straight into Dumbledore's clear blue eyes and anger bursts through me. Just as my hands start to reach for my wand I can hear Draco's mind screaming at me 'NO BELLA STOP! DON'T DO IT!' This is just what I need for me to remember my mission and why I can't kill Dumbledore right now. So I walk up the steps and sit on the stool.
'Hmm what house should I put you in,' The hat whispers to me
'Gryffindor,' The word slips out of my mind perfectly
'Gryffindor? Yes I can see it now you're brave at heart; you're strong in courage and love!' The hat whispers slightly excitedly
Yes! The hat fell for it, I'm going to be in Gryffindor; step one is complete and now the rest of the mission.
'Gryffindor!' The hat shouts out
I walk towards the table I see cheering. Hermione waves at me; she clearly wants me to sit next to her.
Professor McGonagall whispers something into Dumbledore's ear; he sighs before he claps once to get everyone's attention. 'The feast may now begin,' His loud voice booms around the hall.
A whole range of food appears along the table and I suddenly realise I am actually quite hungry. I help myself to some drumsticks. I am half way through dessert when Dumbledore claps again and the food disappears. I hear shouts of protest.
'Silence,' He shouts 'A few announcements, our five new students and two new professors have arrived,'
Before he even continues I can already tell who these people are.
'I welcome Professor Esme Cullen who will be taking Defence against the Dark arts classes and Dr Cullen, who will be helping out in the hospital wing,' His mouth twists into a welcoming smile
The Cullens. The Cullens are here. This must be some twisted joke. I start to breathe heavily, taking longer breaths. Isn't this stupid technique meant to calm you?
In the end Edward and Alice get put in Gryffindor, Jasper in Ravenclaw and Emmett and Rosalie in Slytherin.
The two little brats sit down opposite me. Our food reappears but I've lost my appetite. I can feel their stares. I look up to see Alice looking confused and Edward just staring. I meet their eyes and shoot daggers so strong that they have to look away.
I turn to Hermione 'I'm kind of tiered; I'm going up to the common room,'
'I'll show you where it is,' She grins at me
As I get up, I hear their voices 'Bella, wait,' Alice says as if we're friends.
'Bella?' Edward whispers, question in his voice.
I act like I haven't even heard them, if I turn around to look at their faces right now; I swear I will use the Cruciatus Curse on them so much that what happened to Neville Longbottom's parents will seem fortunate.
I take quick steps up to the common room. I can tell Hermione wants to break the silence but something about my face stops her. So instead we walk in silence only broken when she stops to say the password to let us in to the common room.
As I lie in bed, so many thoughts spin round my head. How could that old fool bring vampires to Hogwarts? Out of all the vampires that he could have brought why did it have to be the Cullens? My time at Hogwarts is defiantly going to be worse than I thought.
