Chapter 9
(EPOV)
After the embarrassing incident with my 'wand' last night, the rest of the evening went by smoothly. That was until Emmett, asked, well, more like begged to ride the Hogwarts Express to Hogsmead after hearing about it from Teddy. So now, here we sit, us, the wolves, along with the Eleven High Guard, the Hallowed Guard, and from what I'm told they are, the Gargoyle Commanders. I managed to find a compartment near the end of the train, and I was hoping to pass the journey alone. But that clearly wasn't going to happen. I looked up when I heard a knock at the door. Looking up, I saw Seth and Teddy. "Come in." I said.
"So, what do you think of the customary trek to Hogwarts?" Teddy asked, now with hair a brilliant shade of green.
I just stared at him. "Oh," he said, "I'm a Metamorphmagus, I inherited it from my mother."
"What is that?" Seth ask, clearly he didn't want to ask earlier and seem rude.
"Well, it's a witch or wizard that can change their appearance at will." He replied, "Their supposed to be really rare, but the fact that there have been three in my family with in the last 40 years is really something. Like I said, my mother was one, and so is my mama. Though, she hates it when I call her that."
"Oh, you mean Ms. Black." I said.
"Yeah, she says it's not right, cuz my mother was such a noble person, and dying for what she believed in. Oh, and her favourite excuse is cuz we're cousins, and that just sounds wrong." He said laughing.
"Well, I call Esme my mom, but she's not even old enough to be that." I said.
"What do you mean?"
And with that, I went in to explaining how old all of us really were. Teddy gasped when I told him that Carlisle was born in the 1640s and was only twenty three when he became a vampire.
"And the reason that I still look like I'm sixteen, is because of the wolf gene?" Seth added. And after Teddy gave him a questioning look, he added, "Well, the Quileute's have had the ability to transform in to giant wolves for a very long time. When ever Vampires are around, the gene gets triggered, and it's sort of a defence thing."
So, we ended up telling him everything about the wolves and my family, and the treaty. He seemed quite interested in the fact that us Cullen's were Vegetarians, and was thouroghly impressed at the fact that Carlisle was such a skilled doctor.
"My dad was a Werewolf." Teddy said once we were though with our tales.
"What?" I said.
"Yeah, he was bitten when he was a child, by on named Fenrir Greyback. That was the same one that Attack Bill Weasley, my girlfriend's dad. Neither of us can turn into them, but we have some distinct werewolf characteristics."
"Really." Seth eagerly said.
"So that's the reason that I clearly smelled Wolf when the two of you appeared in the square yesturday." I said.
But before Teddy could reply, the compartment door slid open and there stood Ms. Black and I was hit with the sudden scent of Lilies and Freesia. She didn't seem to notice me sitting there right away, and said, "There you are Teddy, Bill is looking for you, he said something about warning you that he didn't want to see you snogging his daughter every ten seconds when we get there." And then she saw me, "Oh…" she said before turning around and leaving the room.
"Well," Teddy said sarcasticly, "I guess I should go see what my future father in law wants." And with that, he left the compartment.
Not wanting to waste a second, I turned to Seth and asked. "Did you smell that?"
"Yeah, I did."
"Excuse me." I said, and I left to go and find Alice.
'999 bottles of beer on the wall, 999 bottles of beer on the wall, you take one down and pass it around, you get 998 bottles of beer on the wall,' her thoughts yelled at me, and she continued to sing that song. I guess she's trying to keep something from me.
"Alice." I said, "Alice, I need to ask you something."
"Hmm?" was all that she said, and she was still sing the song,
"well, I was wondering," I began to ask, "wondering if you've smelled anything familiar on the train."
"I don't know what your talking about." She said so fast, that even for a vampire it was hard to understand and continued prancing down the corridor in the other direction.
"Nevermind." I said and made my way back to a now empty compartment. Sitting down I began to stare out the window. Time seemed to speed up, and before I knew it, the train was slowing down and pulling into a station…
(EmPOV)
When we got off the train, we were led to these carriages that had some of the ugliest horses that I've ever seen, I swear. But I held my tounge, I didn't want to give rosie another reason to smack me.
So, after the we all got into the carriages, everybody kept staring at me cuz I couldn't keep still. And I could have bet that that Izzy lady was laughing at me. Then that's when I saw it, it was huge. "Oh my God, hey Rosie, do you see it, I can see it, can you see the castle?" I said really fast, and she just shook her head at me.
When we got to the front entrance, that Minerva lady pointed her wand at her throat and said, "Attention Students and Professors, Please make your way to the Great Hall." Then she lead us to a small room off to the side of the entrance hall. And once the entire school was in the great hall, Minerva began to speak again.
"It is with great pleasure, and relief that I have found replacements for all your teachers that wish to retire. But first, we need to introduce and sort their children." And that was our cue, me, and my siblings along with the wolves, made our way up to the platform at the front of the room. "When I call your name, you'll come up and place the sorting hat on your head." She said before pulling out a roll of paper.
"Jacob Black."she called, and as soon as he placed the hat on his head, it did the strangest thing. It began to talk. And called out "Gryffindor!"
"Leah Clearwater"
"Slytherin!"
"Seth Clearwater"
"Hufflepuff!"
Alice Cullen." She called.
And the hat just sat there. And after about three minutes, it called out "Ravenclaw!"
"Emmett Cullen." 'Sweet.' I thought and as soon as the hat touched my head, it started talking to me. 'hmm… you are loyal, and you are brave, but your loyalty to your wife and family is the strongest, you'll do well in… "Hufflepuff"'
I tool the hat off and walked over to the table that Seth had walked over to and took a seat beside my new furry best friend.
"Edward Cullen." She called and placed the hat on his head when he reached her. And I swear we sat there for almost seven minutes before the hat yelled out "Gryffindor."
After that, Jasper got put into Ravenclaw with Alice, and poor Rosie was put into Slytherin. Once we were all at our respective tables, Minerva began to speak again. "Now, if you'll join me in welcoming, Dr. and Mrs. Cullen. The doctor has agreed to take the position in the Hospital wing, where as Mrs. Cullen will be your Muggle Studies Professor, and head of Hufflepuff." She said as my parents made their way to the staff table.
"Now, Mr. Malfoy will teach Transfiguration and be head of Slytherin, then, Mrs, Weasley will be taking over the position of Charms, and Mr. Weasley as Caretaker. Mr. Potter will be you Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, and Mrs. Potter will replace Madam Hooch. Leaving lastly and not in the least bit. Ms. Black will be taking over the Position of Potions Master from our most recently departed Professor Slughorn.
On a Darker note, Hogwarts will be home this year not only to you, but also a team of Auror's and some strong Allies." She said as teddy and the other Auror's filed in the room, followed by the Elves and the Gargoyles. "I ask you not to harass the Elven High Guard, of the Gargoyle Commanders, they are here to help protect this castle from none other than the infamous Morgana. Now, that is all, off you go."
Most of the students had left the hall, except for a bunch of red heads and a few others.
(EPOV)
As the students left the hall, a few stayed behind. I stayed to see if I could get a change to talk to Ms. Black. But she was instantly surrounded by four of the students. "Mom, what are you doing here?" asked a very pretty blond girl.
"Artina, you know better than to talk to your mother like that." Izzy said to her daughter.
"Mom, don't call me Artina," the girl said, "It's Swan."
"What ever, just come here." She said wrapping her arms around her daughter and two of the boys. "I've missed you."
"Jeez mom, it's only been two days." The brown haired boy said.
"Now Billy, that doesn't mean I don't miss you. And don't you make that face at me Charlie." She added turning to the other brown haired boy.
"But I wasn't, it was…" he paused, "It was Sirius I swear. He made me do it."
"Don't forget, as of tomorrow morning, I'm only Mom on weekends, it's going to be Professor Black. Now, off to bed you three, I want a word with your brother," she said, and the three ran off.
"Yes Mother?" the last boy asked.
"I want you to keep an eye on those three. I don't want to have to give my own children detention."
"Excuse me." I said walking closer, "Ms. Black, I was wondering if I could have a word with you?"
