Chapter three – the changing world

"I trust you'll all be fine finding your way there, says the crazy man in the bathrobe" Emmett growled loudly as they walked past the same shop for what had to be the seventh time that day "well we've found our way just fine haven't we?" They had all drunk the ageing potion, and had some stored away in their pockets for later. It seemed that looking eleven was undoubtedly taking its toll on Emmett, who was getting tetchier by the second.

"Emmett, will you just be quiet and stop moaning for five minutes" Edward said sighing and gritting his teeth, whilst he looked down at the map again. They had reached London without any problems; the difficulty was locating a pub called the Leaky Cauldron. Only this seemingly simplistic task had turned into an almighty quest because the pub happened to be ridiculously elusive. Edward's eyes darted upwards from the map, and he came to a sudden standstill, because he had just heard someone say the word "Hogwarts" in their mind. The boy was directly in front of them, and all Edward could see of him was a shock of untidy, black hair, and a thin stature. However, it was the man smiling down at this boy that caused Edward concern, owing to the simple fact that he was almost triple Emmet's size. To put it plainly; he was ginormous. Edward quickly read his mind, and learnt that this was the very same Hagrid, and Harry Potter whom Dumbledore had been talking about. Edward's lips barely moved, and he hardly made a sound as he told Nessie what to do, she and the others all heard Edward loud and clear.

She slowly approached Hagrid and said "Excuse me please" the huge man turned around slowly, the lines on his face contorted defensively. But as his eyes came to rest on Nessie's face, his features automatically softened and all hostility evaporated with a glance. "I was just wondering if you could direct us to the Leaky Cauldron? We're all first years, well apart from our parents who are going to be teaching Muggle Studies" Nessie said gesturing at her grandparents.

Harry Potter stood next to Hagrid bewildered as to how someone could be as beautiful as the girl that stood before him, and came to the quick-witted and unerving conclusion that she must be something more than a girl. Hagrid smiled down at Nessie "well, I'd be more 'n happy ter show yeh're the way. Are yeh the Cullen's by any chance?" Nessie looked startled, but then decided honesty was the best policy and nodded. Hagrid raised his eyebrows "yes, Dumbledore's tol' me all abou' you, well welcome to the wizardin' world, I'm sure yer all gonna love it. It's wha' I've been tellin' young Harry here." Nessie turned and smiled at the boy with the messy hair, and round glasses, he grinned back awkwardly. Meanwhile, Hagrid raised a gigantic hand and gestured for the Cullen's and Jake who were all listening intently co come over.

They all bustled forwards, and when all the introductions and formalities came to an end, they all followed Hagrid to the Leaky Cauldron. It was a dark and warm place, Nessie smiled up at Jake as they walked in; her eyes were brimming with excitement. He beamed back at her, he was happy to see her in such high spirits, but he was also excited himself. They were entering a new world. After a slightly weird episode, where everyone crowded around Harry like he was some rare specimen in a museum, they finally got to a brick wall. That was when Hagrid pulled out the umbrella.

"No offense" said Jake, but his tone suggested that offense was inevitable "but why are we all facing a brick wall? And why are you pointing some tattered umbrella at it?" You see tact was never Jake's forte, but thankfully it wasn't Hagrid's either so he wasn't affronted by Jake's bluntness. Rather than reply he chose to show Jake.

He began to tap certain bricks whilst Jake rolled his eyes, but then as the bricks began to miraculously fall, Jake's mouth formed an O of utter astonishment. That was only the beginning, as the magical world had much bigger surprises in store for them all. As they went through Diagon Alley ticking off items they needed, none of them could believe how amazing this world was. After withdrawing Harry's money, and converting the Cullen's' and Jake's cash for gold, they made their way to Olivander's.

He was an old man, who surveyed them all like some sort of X-Ray machine. "Well, well" he said so quietly it was almost a whisper "if it isn't Harry Potter, the Cullen's and Jake – the trio is finally complete." Neither of them dared asked this man how he knew who they were, or even what he meant by the trio. Instead they all just smiled politely; even Emmett seemed humbled in this man's very presence. "Right well lets get you all sorted then" Olivander said, suddenly switching to a normal volume. After much testing, and damaging of the wizened man's shop, each person held a wand in their hands. Nessie's was Vine, nine and a quarter inches, unicorn mane, she would never forget the rush of content that consumed her when she first held it. Hagrid stood watching over them all, like a proud parent, and wiped a tear from his eye with his dirty sleeve. "Farewell, young warriors" were Olivander's parting worlds, and for some reason they created a knot of fear in Bella's stomach, she glanced nervously at Edward.

"Well" this is where I leave yer I'm afraid" Hagrid said "I'll see yer all at school." They all wished him a safe journey, and then they parted ways, only to be faced by another brick wall. This time however, there was no umbrella wielding Hagrid.

"So" said Emmett looking around "all we've got to do to get to the other side is slam face first into a brick wall? Should be a piece of cake… well for us anyway, he looked at Harry who shrugged as if it was no big deal, but his face had turned a slightly greenish hue. His mind had also gone into overdrive about what Emmett had meant by it being easy for them, as if slamming into a real brick wall wouldn't actually affect these beings.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" said Nessie, placing a hand on his shoulder, Harry blushed at this.

"Yeah, sure, don't worry about me, I'll be fine" he said nodding reassuringly.

"Okay" said Jake "I'll go first" he ran with his trolley, and rammed into the wall, only to be swallowed up by it. One by one they all went through, even Harry who was shaking like a leaf didn't have any trouble getting to the other side. That was when all of their jaws dropped, the Hogwarts Express was magnificent. It was the most beautiful train any of them had ever seen, and that was saying something because even Carlisle, after his two hundred and thirty four years of living was blown away. They all jostled on to it, and Nessie felt that the journey was truly beginning here. They were going to meet their destiny, in a completely new world, and despite the looming threat she couldn't help but feel thrilled.
