After the sorting was done, there was a major head turner for most. What happened to the food?
Yes, that was our main question… After the long summer, coming back to our home (Hogwarts), after the long bus ride, into the carriage and up to the castle, we were starving. Naturally, we wanted to know were our food was.
You see, normally after the sorting ends we usually eat right after. It's been like that for every single year. There was only one problem though, Dumbledore was standing up and looked like he was about to speak.
"Darn it, I should've saved some of the candy for now. My stomach is eating itself." I whispered to Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Attention everyone, attention. I am proud to announce that we will have a new healer this year, working with our own, Mrs. Pomfrey. His wife will also be taking the spot of Muggle Studies teacher. Our new healer and his wife have seven kids that will be staying here with us…" Dumbledore started.
Wait, seven kids… one healer and his wife? What is going on? Wait could it be? I wondered as the speech continued.
"I hope you all will be welcoming to our new guests. They are a very interesting breed of vampire, and have been sorted before you all got here. Please welcome, The Cullens."
Gosh darn it Dumbledore! I had the upmost respect for the Headmaster, but at the moment my inner thoughts were all cursing his insanity, or lack of, and moaning about the injustice.
I immediately turned my head to the floor, grateful that my hair was black, and my eyes were a light blue, drastically different from my Bella appearance.
"Are they?" Hermione asked me.
I nodded quickly and turned away.
"Wait a second, who's they and how do you know them?" Harry demanded to know.
"Later," I replied " I'll tell you later.
We watched the Cullens walk up on to where Dumbledore was.
"I hope you will all be kind to them. Ah yes, their houses."
"Senile old man" I muttered under my breath.
"They will all be residing in Gryffindor house."
"Great!" I said, sarcasm clearly in my voice.
I mean, how could they come back after he ditched me in the forest for Pete's sake! I mean, I guess it was apart of my mission, and I knew it would happen, but if Bella was a real person she would be outraged! They didn't even bother to say good-bye. Well, that was their choice and I certainly wasn't going to stop them! After all, I was back at Hogwarts with my real family and I wasn't going to let THEM ruin my fifth year. He said it would be like we never meet. So be it, I would ignore him and the other Cullens. Oh fine, I'll admit I was abit peeved about the way he left. No consideration!
My verdict being reached I returned to the real world when Hermione nudged me in the stomach. I noticed a short, pink-wearing, toad-like person come up to the stadium and begin to speak.
I paid no attention, going on with my inner musings until Dumbledore released us.
As we headed up to the dorms I wondered what could possibly go wrong this year. It wasn't like anyone was going to die… right?
"So," Harry asked, "who are the Cullens and how do you know them?"
We were all seated in the common room talking about what had happened last summer. As I told Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and the twins my story, they all reacted as I expected. (Well, except for Ginny and Hermione, they already knew)
The boys were threatening to kill Edward for what he did, until I reminded them that all of it was for the Order, and that I really didn't care (ok, maybe I did a little).
"Speak of the devil" George muttered, and I turned around. The Cullens were all entering through The Fat Lady.
Grateful that they couldn't possibly know that I was here (because of my changed looks) I relaxed.
Suddenly they tensed and I remembered.
What was the one thing that caught Edward's attention in Forks? Anybody? Come one people, does anyone remember? Well, let me tell you… my scent.
I realized that despite my appearance was different my scent was the same.
All at once I was thrown back on the couch and being hugged by a hyper pixie like vampire. Yes, Alice had recognized me first. Ouch, I would be bruised in the morning, I realized as I felt her stone skin smash against mine.
As she got off of me Edward rushed up to me, checked me over to see if I was okay, and crushed his freezing cold lips against mine. I was slowly growing dizzy from lack of air, and struggled to escape his iron-like arms, hitting him repeatedly, but he either didn't notice, or didn't care. Damn, I should've done an upper body course or something over the summer.
"Oi, let go of her!" everyone shouted.
"Protego" came a voice. I still couldn't speak because Edward was still kissing me, and my arms were flailing everywhere.
A shield came between me and Edward and I almost fell over in relief. As it was I stumbled into Fred, who pulled me behind him, and the rest of the gang, protectively? I thanked Harry in a whisper.
"Why aren't you letting me kiss my girlfriend?" asked Edward, in what he probably thought was an intimidating voice.
At this I stepped out from behind everyone. "Your girlfriend?" I whispered, "OH, that's right, you mean poor little Bella who you left in THE FOREST WITH NO PROTECTION AFTER BREAKING HER HEART!" At this point, I was screaming, enraged by his callousness, and his complete disregard for Bella's feelings.
"I," Edward started.
"I don't want to hear it. It's a damn good thing I'm nothing like her. Goodnight everyone. Me and Hermione are going to bed now." And with that, I pulled Hermione's arm and dragged her up the stairs with me. So that, for the next half hour while we got ready for bed, she could listen to me ranting and going on about the stinking Cullens.
Finally, I drifted off to sleep with thoughts streaking across my head, like shooting stars in the night sky. "What happens if Edward tried to win me back?" I asked myself. "Then he's going to go through his own worst nightmare." A little voice in my head responded.
Hermione's voice was the first thing I heard as I woke up.
"Aghhhh" I groggily responded.
"I said… GET UP!" The last two words were screamed directly in my ear.
"AHHHHHHH" I screamed and rolled off the bed.
"Hello floor, how are you today" I said, being face down on it. Hermione groaned and picked me up off the floor.
"I now have a bruise… Thanks Hermione" I said poking at said bruise that now covered my stomach and side. "Ow!"
"That's what you get for poking a bruise!" Hermione replied.
"Well thanks for the sympathy"
"Anytime"
"Yeah right… OW!"
"DON'T POKE AT THE BRUISE"
"Well, how was I going to know it was going to hurt?"
With that Hermione walked down the stairs and into the common room, muttering about how I was a pain in her arse.
