6. The Night Class
A/N: Here's another chapter. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've restarted my laptop because it was going too slow and then I didn't have Microsoft office, so then I couldn't type the story. Then, I had to type the story which I've already thought of, because I know what's coming next, but I had to add more dialogue and details to make it interesting. I didn't know that it was this hard to write a story. Now, May I present to you, the Night class. Thoughts in Italics author's note in Bold.
Changed!
New Summary: She had everything, titles, charm, wit, status, and best of all good looks. All except love. Only natural for a pure-blood from the Ancient and Noble house of Baudelaire, but when she meets Edward Cullen, she is simply offended.
Disclaimer:
Matsuri Hino/Stephanie Meyer/J.K Rowling: Say it!
Me: I own nothing, and by that, I'm referring to the fact that I don't own Vampire Knight, Harry Potter, or Twilight. This is very sad but true. On the bright side, I own Melinda! Ha! Take that J.K Rowling, Stephanie Meyer, and Matsuri Hino! *sticks tongue out*
Stephanie Meyer: Well, since you said Melinda is based on Bella Swan, you only partially own her.
Well, there you have it, I don't own Twilight or Vampire Knight, but, I do partially own Melinda and fully the disclaimer above!

As I strolled down the concrete pavement to the Edward Cullen fan section, I began to get bored. I was the only Day Class student not in their uniform. It was surprising that they didn't wear their best clothes to impress their so called crush, or even wear suggestive clothing.
How uneventful!
"Melinda!" a voice called out to me.
I turned around to see who it was. It was none other than the president of the Edward Cullen fan section, Miyuki Hanazono.
"Miyuki-san? What's going on here?" I said in a questioning voice.
"OMC (oh my Carlisle) Melinda! I am so excited that I'm going to give one chocolate to Edward Cullen of course, and you could have the other for who ever you think is the best out of the Night Class" Miyuki said very excited she had two chocolate offerings for Edward Cullen and me in her arms.
"Thank you. It was so thoughtful of you."
"Your welcome" squeal, "so, everybody is so excited to see them and I thought that you should get a chance to give them a chocolate even if it is your first encounter. Everybody here brought chocolates for them."
"I knew that this was going to be a big deal, but I didn't think that practically 90% of the Day Class would be here. Are they that good-looking?"
Miyuki scoffed at my comment, "They aren't just good looking. The Night Class consists of the most beautiful people that I've ever seen in my entire life. Melinda, you're really beautiful, your looks are goddess-like, similar to their beauty. You are probably the only one in the Day Class who rivals with the Night Class' looks, more over; the most beautiful in the Night Class are the ones you rival in beauty. The most beautiful people in the class are probably Rosalie Hale, Kaname Kuran, Akatsuki Kain, Takuma Ichijo, Hanabusa Aido, or my personal favorite, Edward Cullen."
I noticed that when she started to say their names, her voice got all dreamy and she had hearts in her eyes. She continued to praise the people whose names she mentioned. Then, I realized that she mentioned the name, Kaname Kuran.
Flashback:
"Melinda, come on and hurry up, we're going to be late to our own party otherwise" my mother said as she walked passed my room.
"Alright mother, Scones (the house elf) is just going to finish up my hair in a minute." I was four and already smarter than most children my age, my parents already hired eight private tutors so that when I went to Hogwarts, I would already know the subject, and everything would be easier.
"Miz Melinda, Scones is finished with young Miz Melinda's hair. Scones will now put away all the materials. Miz Melinda can now go to Miztrezz Baudelaire." Scones said and bowed.
"Alright Scones, You can finish up your household duties after you clean, I'll got downstairs now."
"Yes Miz Melinda."
I turned around and went down stairs. Surprisingly, I didn't trip. When I was half way down the staircase, Mother noticed me and smiled.
"Well, that took you long enough. Quite the wait, but worth it, I guess. Melinda, you look stunning in that white dress." I savored the moment, mother rarely complemented me.
"Thank you mother. Adric! I didn't know that you were going to be home!" I exclaimed and ran to him surprisingly gracefully.
Adric Baudelaire was seventeen years old, but already training to be an Auror at the Ministry of Magic. He lived in one of our town houses near the ministry. Adric was very handsome and attractive. He was kind and always had time to spare for the family. Adric and I looked so alike that we could be twins, but he was a boy, older than me therefore taller at a towering six foot four, and had a more masculine face. I at the time had a brother-complex and father-complex.
"Melinda, I'm happy to see your brother as well, but we must go now. You needn't worry, he's coming with us. Before we go, I want to warn you Melinda, be extra careful because some of the guests at the party will be vampires and there will be some vampire hunters to watch over the party because of all the vampires attending." Mother said in a bored tone.
"Alright!" I smiled and my brother carried me. Our house had anti-apparition wards up, so we had to go out to the gate of our house to be able to apparate. "Adric, why are you carrying me? I'm not tired yet. In fact, I'm practically full of energy."
Adric smiled and said, "Well, we all know how much you're a klutz. You look so pretty in that dress that it would be a shame if only we were able to see you so radiant."
I blushed and hugged my brother, "Thank you." I whispered. I was wearing a white dress with a green bow in the middle and a two inch silver hem at the bottom, and white sandals. (See picture on profile) The house elf helped style my hair to loose curls, my hair went all the way down to my waist. At the top of my head I was wearing a plain white wide alice hair band.
After a minute, we were at the gates of our manor in Osaka, Japan. It was night time, but warm. You could hear the waves crashing the shore at our private beach.
"Come on, the party is inside at the Ball room. Melinda, you can walk around on your own after a few minutes of introduction with some of my acquaintance you haven't met yet."
"Okay," I said. Adric put me down once we were at the door.
The party already started before we got here. There were a ton of people that I didn't recognize, but a few that I did. I recognized the Malfoys, old Mr. and Mrs. Black, the Lestranges, Mr. Yaxley, and Mr. Macnair. A few people were standing at the corners of the room watching the situation form. Father was already here and currently entertaining a few guests that I haven't met. We went to where father was.
"Yes, at the Baudelaire Company, we have invented a new potion that according to the patents that tastes like blood and gives vampires the nutrients that they usually obtain from muggle blood."
Mother chose this moment to jump in the conversation. "Charles! The children and I have just arrived. Sorry for being late and intruding." Mother said with a charming smile, then turning to the others who father was talking to, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Kuran, it's been a while, is that your son? Quite the handsome devil. What's his name?"
The woman with reddish-brown curly hair answered my mother's greeting, "Hello Mrs. Baudelaire, you have a beautiful manor. To answer your question, yes, this is my son, Kaname Kuran. He's five-years old, and it seems that you have children as well. What are their names?"
"Well, the eldest is obviously my son next to me, Adric Baudelaire, he's just graduated Hogwarts last summer, he's 17 years old, and my youngest is near your son's age, one year apart. Her name is Melinda Baudelaire she's four years old."
The boy was handsome for his age, large burgundy eyes, and chocolate hair.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kaname Kuran."
"It's a pleasure, Adric Baudelaire."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you; I'm Melinda, Melinda Baudelaire. Let's be friends." I said with a smile, I didn't know why but I felt comfortable around him.
"Juri-san why don't we let them freely wander and explore the mansion? I'm sure they would be bored otherwise." Mother said, it seemed that she knew her from long ago. Maybe Mother met her when she went to muggle school. I knew that it was a tradition for Medici children, after they finish their schooling at Hogwarts to attend muggle school. It was to rid of prejudice and ensure pity. To see how weak and defenseless they are.
"Perhaps if the children want. Kaname, do you want to go and play with Melinda-chan?" Juri said with a gentle smile.
"Yes." Kaname said really quietly.
"Melinda, why don't you show Kaname around and introduce him to some of your friends afterwards."
"Yes Mother."
"Then you two just run along now and don't cause too much of a ruckus."
I took Kaname's hand, still smiling, and said, "Come with me, I'll show you around."
End Flashback.
Of course, those were simpler times. My beloved elder brother was still alive as well as my mother. They both died the same way, just different times. I frowned, whenever I think of Adric I get sad, yet, why do I still do so?
Miyuki noticed my change in facial expression. "What's wrong?" she said clearly concerned with my change in facial expression.
I closed my eyes and smiled she looks like an anime/manga character like this. "Nothing!" I told her even though it was a lie.
She seemed to buy it.
*creek*
The doors of the moon dormitory opened.
So you show yourself at last vampires.
ECPOV (Edward Cullen's point of view)
"Candiru-Açù is a small yet dangerous species of parasite-like-fish in the Amazon Rivers. In ways, they can be considered vampire like because they feed on the blood of other species to survive. They find blood by sensing urine in waters (Candiru-Açù can sense urine because the parasite-like-fish is attracted to pure urine) then they go find the source of the urine. It is then that the parasite-like-fish draw's blood from the victim. There was once a reported case of a Candiru-Açù swimming up a man's penis getting stuck inside the man's urethra …" I don't remember if this is all that accurate, I just remember watching this a few times on animal planet. I read before I was interrupted by a familiar loud voice.
"Yo! What-up bro!" said my adopted brother Emmett McCarthy Cullen. "…'up the penis'?" Emmett just couldn't hold it in; he let out his signature thunderous laugh. He was barely able to stop laughing long enough to yell out, "Hey Jasper! Rosalie! *laughs* Edward is reading porn, and not just any porn, its yaoi!"
Emmett laughed so much that if he was a human, he would be dead by now. Jasper was cracking up and Rosalie as obviously amused but decided not to laugh. Rosalie merely smirked and played along.
"Wow, Edward, I can understand how you can't be into me now. Edward, we accept you for who you are, so what if you're a 108 year old adultery-reading, boring, apparently homosexual vampire."
I was about to retort her comment when the President of the Moon Dormitory cut in, "I personally don't care if Edward is gay or not, lets go. It's time for class."
I sighed. Rosalie, upon seeing this, knew that she won, therefore, giggled for a short bit, and then flipped her hair, got up, then walked to the door. Although I respected Kaname Kuran, the pure-blooded vampire, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of him and others in the Night class. Everyone in the Cullen family always felt a little jealous of them. They were able to have children; they could die of a natural death, and didn't have to go through the pain of the transformation of becoming a vampire. They can't hear the all of the incessant thoughts of the ignorant Day Class outside. Whispered a malicious voice in my head, but I chose to ignore it, although it be true.
Every vampire in the Night class assembled for our dorm leader.
*creek*
The doors were opening. Might as well face them now or never.
Loud squeals erupted from the door. Ouch.
MPOV
The Day class all cheered when they saw the Night class behind the doors. It's an understatement to say they were in love with the Night Class. The Day Class practically worshiped the pavement the Night Class walked on, they were clearly obsessed. In fact, the school even had to install two prefects to keep the Day class away from the Night Class. It was clear; the Day Class would break any rule to see the Night Class, but today, it was somewhat better.
Almost everyone got in line in order and looked at them and squealed louder as they passed.
I turned around to see the beautiful people that measured up to the high standards of pure-blood witches and wizards. Looks like Alice will fit right in tomorrow. Pale skin. I then smirked; at least I can get a tan and not only have the option between red or yellow eyes. The squeals must me killing them.
"Surprise," said an all too familiar cherry voice.
I turned my head slightly to see my best so called friend Mary Alice Brandon in a Night Class uniform as well as another recognizable faces.
Flash back:
We met in one of my parent's parties when I was four and have been inseparable ever since. Alice helped me get over my elder brother's, and mother's death when I was five, but a month after I turned 16, Alice switched schools after winter break and we lost all contact with each other. I was hurt that she didn't tell me anything about this, we were best friends, and we tell each other almost everything despite being in different houses (Hogwarts houses), but Alice only left behind a letter.
Dearest M,
I'm transferring schools to New York in the states, I'll be back in a year. Wait for me in London.
A
When I first read the letter and found out, I only thought, what the bloody hell was that? She's a puff and therefore loyal. Aren't puffs supposed to have the common courtesy to tell their best friend that they are leaving for some practically only muggle country across the seas?
It was obvious that she changed and when she would come back, she will be entirely different. Then a thought struck me. If Alice is going to change, I might as well also. Then I decided that I would no longer be friends with anyone less than my equal. It would also make father happy, I'd be more like the person father described mother as. Well chosen friends, lady like behavior yet very bubbly and enthusiastic, basically the perfect socialite. But I wasn't going to be exactly like mother, I secretly somewhat have a penchant for gambling.
I trained myself to not think of any of my flaws, but that was easy considering that I don't have any flaws because arrogance and gambling is not a flaw to her. I rarely saw my father and was thus granted freedom. I made sure that my father didn't re-marry or fall in love so I would have complete control over him and therefore, the only heir to the Baudelaire fortunes and titles, this was of course easy. The only person that father really loved was mother, and mother died 11 years ago, along with my brother who died six months prior.
A year latter, I was still the same person, just with better, more pure friends. I was opening the door to my room, it was opened, and I saw my former best friend sitting on one of my couches. Alice was back in my life again. It was weird though, Alice always looked the same since I saw her, just more vampire-like, and she was different than when I last saw her. Her once blue eyes were now a bright topaz, her once tan skin was now a sickly chalky white. I know what she is now, a filthy half-blooded seer and vampire. That's why she had been gone, that was why she left in the middle of the year. How disgusting is my formerly best friend now?
At first I was cold to her and asked with venom laced in my voice, "What are you doing here? Half-blood"
Alice merely smiled, unaffected by my coldness, and the venom that laced my voice, then she said, "I'm keeping a promise. Mels, I reinvented my self. I can't stay in London, my parents would disown me if they found out, but, I'm going to Cross Academy. You should go too. We could be together again, you can use it for the Rosier muggles studies trip."
I was wary at first but I eventually agreed, but I decided to go with a new look and applied a glamour charm on my hair a dark golden brown. I knew that my hair would eventually go back to the pale blonde hair that it naturally was because the spell was alternated purposely, I wanted a change but I only wanted a temporary change, this allowed me to change, even if it is for a short time.
End Flash back
I grinned slightly said, "Hey Alice! I thought that you were coming tomorrow."
Alice chuckled, "I wanted to surprise you."
I forgot about my composure. I stopped grinning and held a indifferent face, but kind eyes.
Alice looked beautiful as usual. Her hair was set in spikes facing all directions and her figure was perfect as now usual. I noticed that a vampire was walking this way. I suddenly felt like I could stare in his memorizing topaz eyes forever. Then I remembered, No! I told myself. I will not act like a fan girl, I, will not obsess over people just based on their attitude and looks just like the people I'm surrounded by. I will be different, I am superior. Generations of wealth and breeding had to come together to make me, and he is only a half-blood.
"I'll be going now, Alice, I have an old family friend to converse with" I said sounding cold while turning around and flicking my hair.
ECPOV
I found this whole chocolate offering highly amusing, but still more annoying than amusing. We can't eat food, yet here they are desperately trying to give us the chocolate and not to mention that the squeals are killing my ears. I wonder what they'd do if they found out what we really are. Will they still obsess and squeal over us? No, it would be preposterous if they did, but then again, it's also preposterous that they are squealing so loudly, even for humans.
I gave a low whimper while heading over to my fan section. They're just going to get louder. What's the new girl doing with a Day Class student? Alice? I think her name was.
The Day Class girl that Alice was talking to seemed unfazed and annoyed at something. Interesting, she's an artificial brunette (let's pretend the coloring is becoming more blonde slowly every second), most people die their hair to something that stands out, yet she dyes her hair to something that blends in. She also doesn't seem to ogle at vampires like all the other humans.
I tried to hear her thoughts, but nothing came up from her. Interesting, the only other people's thoughts I can't hear are Kaname's and Yuuki's. Also, I doubt this Day Class girl is a pureblood vampire. Kaname told Edward and the other Twilight characters about Yuuki's true self, I've made it to be that Carlisle and Kaname were old friends.
Since I couldn't hear her (Melinda's) thoughts, I decided to listen to Alice's.
OMG! I have so much planed for me and Melinda to do! I've talked to Kaname, and he allowed me to hang out with M. Were going to go shopping so much, but I have to be careful because M has blood flowing through her.
I tuned Alice's thoughts out, she was too energetic. So, her name is Melinda, at least I got something out of hearing Alice's thoughts.
I used my super hearing to listen to their conversation while receiving chocolates from Day Class students.
"I'll be going now, Alice, I have an old family friend to converse with" Melinda said while turning around and flicking her hair. She sounded cold and annoyed.
Her scent was blown my way when she flicked her hair. I became stiff, her sent was delicious, freesias and strawberries. My eyes darkened. Maybe I can lure her aw—no! bad vampire! No breaking peace at Cross Academy
I tried not to sound cold, but said, "I'll be going now ladies."
Everyone in my fan section became sad and said, "Aww!" and I heard a "but I love you." While walking back to their dorms.
I could barely control myself; I ran in human pace to Kaname Kuran and said, "I'm going to hunt."
I ran back into the dorms and dropped all my chocolates from Day Class students, and changed into hunting clothes. I needed to get away soon or else I would attack her.
I can't attack her, or else I would disrupt the delicate peace of Cross Academy. I couldn't be selfish. I can't believe that a little human girl could do this to me.
I ran out of the Night Class Dormitories in vampire speed so no one would notice me going into the forest that belonged to the school. Day Class students weren't allowed to go in there because we hunted there. I'll be safe there.
MPOV
As I left Alice, I walked to Kaname. I noticed that cute-vampire-boy ran in human pace, said something to Kaname, and then ran back to the dormitories.
"Kaname Kuran is that you?" I asked warmly, frankly I was happy to see an old family friend.
He turned and looked at me, then smiled, "Melinda Baudelaire it has been a while since we last seen each other."
"Indeed, tis far too long since we have." I smiled back warmly, this was a real smile.
"Will you accompany me for a short walk, Melinda?"
"I'd be delighted; shall we catch up for old time's sake?"
"We shall."
We walked to the fountain nearby silently when I finally decided to ask, "What have you been doing for the last eight years?"
"I was adopted by Asato Ichijo as you know."
"Indeed you have, he's far too manipulative for my liking."
"Anyone who is more manipulative than you is to manipulative for you liking, I helped found the Night Class three years prior. I am dorm leader, that's pretty all I can talk about."
I smiled wider and said, "Then shall I tell you my story?"
"If you desire."
"I went to Hogwarts, was sorted into Slytherin, I'm currently in the Rosier traditional muggle-studies trip. Shall we connect our minds now?"
"Yes, I wondered when you were going to ask."
I lowered my mind shield, as he lowered his. We both saw all of each other's memories and thoughts since the last time we met when I was 10 years old. A silent tear slid down my cheek as we bid farewell. Yuuki, how could you be so cruel to this kind man?
Walking back to the dorm. I couldn't believe what happened today. The image of Edward Cullen's face flashed into my head as I entered my room. The vampire was somewhat cute, I thought. Tomorrow, I'm going to town to buy some more dresses.
The thought depressed me a little bit. Of course, I love shopping and trying out new clothes, but shopping with Alice was very tiring. She drags you into stores and forces you into clothes weather you like them or not. If you put your foot down, she doesn't care weather or not you want to look like a modern day harlot she will buy it for you and make you keep it.
Tomorrow is going to be a tiring day. I sighed thinking this while I was falling asleep on my bed.
I need to vampire proof my room.
Well there you have it, Melinda's first encounter with the Night Class. The Night Class goes into the building at Night now because of the whole shines like diamonds in the sun thing. There will be no shape-shifters in this story because the story is taking place in Japan and I don't know how to fit shape-shifters in the small town or how to make the shape-shifters meet Melinda in this story. So, I decided to have Melinda fall in love with one of the Vampire Knight characters, because I like the love triangle thing. If you want Melinda to fall in love with a specific character, Rate & Review, and include which character you want Melinda to fall in love with. Edward will eventually fall in love with Melinda, but, someone needs to be there to catch Melinda's eye while he is gone. I'm not sure if I want Melinda to end up with Edward anymore because that's kind of boring, there is so much Edward get's the girl stories out there, and I want something different. But, if everybody says they want Edward with Melinda, I'll do Edward with Melinda.
Either way, please Rate & Review.
