A/N: I know, its been two weeks. I'm sorry! I've had mountains of homework. And, last weekend I postponed everything to go see Shannon Hale. She was the funniest, nicest author I've ever met. If you guys have the chance to meet her you should do it! So…here it is Chapter Three. Enjoy!
Chapter Three: I'm Invisible
Part I
The Hogwarts Express was nearly to Hogsmead station, though none of the occupants of the crowed compartment would have known that. Many would have thought the occupants would have known, but they were wrong. Oh, so wrong. These people were only pretending to be wizards. Only pretending to know about magic and Hogwarts and what the heck was going on. They were all under the influence of polyjuice potion, and had taken the form of wizards they were scrambling to find facts about.
"How am I supposed to run a school?!" shouted Jasper.
"Run a school?" Esme scoffed. "How am I supposed to teach kids to make potions?"
"How am I supposed to play Quidditch?!" Edward demanded.
"How am I supposed to be…mean?" asked Carlisle.
Rosalie laughed at them. "You think you've got it bad? Look at my hair!"
"Your hair?" Alice screamed. "Look at mine!"
"Oh, its not like your hair was much better before." Rosalie pointed out.
"I…well…you! Ugh!" Alice retorted.
"Okay. Shut up!" Emmett yelled. "Everyone be quiet!!" Everyone stopped arguing for a moment and turned to look at Emmett. "None of your problems matter! The real question is… How am I supposed to wear anything fashionable with this hideous, red hair?"
Everyone began talking at once. Saying things like, "What do you know about fashion?" and "How is fashion more important than this?!" But, unexpectedly, or at least unexpectedly to them, the train stopped.
People began filing out of compartments and onto the platform. The Cullen's followed, unsure of what would happen next. They managed, somehow, to exit the train undetected. But, as Jasper led the way to where he thought the school was located everyone turned to stare.
"Is that…?" asked someone.
"No. It couldn't be…could it?" said another.
"Professor…?"
"Dumbledore? Yeah, I think it is!"
"Of coarse it is, you morons!" shouted a rather large seventh year boy.
"But…" one girl stammered. "What is he doing here? On the Hogwarts Express?"
"Oh, I don't know…" the seventh year student replied. "Maybe, you know, going to Hogwarts? But, don't count on it. I'm probably wrong." He said sarcastically.
As people whispered about him, or rather, who they thought he was, Jasper walked purposefully and dutifully toward the school. The rest of the Cullens trailed behind him.
As Jasper entered the large oak front doors he bumped into a frantic witch dressed in emerald green robes.
"Oh Albus," she breathed. "Thank goodness your finally here!"
"Albus?" Jasper asked.
"Yes," replied Minerva McGonagall "Albus." She turned to Esme, "And Severus, I'm so glad you finally decided to show up."
Esme look to both sides and, realizing the Professor was talking to her, nodded. "Oh…um…yes."
"Well, come with me Albus, Severus," she said then turned on her heel and left.
Jasper shrugged, beckoned to Esme and then followed Minerva McGonagall down the hall and out of sight.
The other Cullen followed the mass of students into the Great Hall. As the students settled into their seats they all looked up at Jasper.
After a long pause Jasper realized they were waiting for him to say something. He stood up. "Uh…Welcome? There are…uh…a lot of things I'd…um…like to say. But, uh, I'm kinda hungry so…um…lets eat!" he said quickly sitting down.
Food appeared on the plates. Students and teacher began talking and eating. But all Jasper could do was sit there and hope he would turn invisible. When dinner was over he'd probably have to talk again and he defiantly was not ready for that. This was going to be a very long school year.
