Chapter 2: War?
Edward and I held each other on the floor, as the sun started to peered dimly through the small window. His body was beyond beautiful, the golden light engulfed his body making him look like a god. I would never get over the fact that he was mine, forever. I traced the blue veins on his arms, as well has the shape of his chest. Our body's finally matched in color, white on white. We were laying on the floor. Last night we didn't feel a need to bread any bed's, especially when we were guests here. We hadn't talked a lot, but suddenly I had a need to. I lifted my head, our topaz eyes met. We both smiled happily, memorizing each other for the millionth time.
"Edward?"
"Yes?"
"What kind of world is this? With mythical creature's walking around every where. I mean, what are the chances that wizards would exist?"
"Slim."
"Very slim." Edward glanced down at my watch, it said 7:00 A.M.
"We should get ready." he whispered. I glanced over to the corner by the door where our clothes were huddled in a pile. It took a great deal of restraint to not rip the clothes off or body's last night.
"We left our suite cases at that Three Broomsticks place." I realized.
"I'll go get them, stay here." He pushed me off gently and dressed with incredible speed. I let him slip out the door as I whipped my old clothes on for now. I looked around the room, a large four poster bead dominated the center draped in maroon. On the left wall I spotted a door. I twisted a handle and found what I was looking for, a bathroom. I turned to the mirror, my hair brown was a mess but it didn't prevent me from looking like some sort of angel that dropped out of the sky. Edward was suddenly standing behind me, his arms wrapped around my waist.
"Lets make the best of this okay?" He whispered, his voice soothing my stressful thoughts of oh-my-god-magic-is-real.
"All right." The expression on his face reminded me of Alice before we went on a big shopping trip.
I went to the bed and found my suit case. I unzipped it and grabbed a dark green designer short sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans. I dressed and yanked a brush through my hair quickly.
"Lets go." I said cheerfully.
We held hands as we walked through the hallway leading to the Great Hall. We walked in a fast human pace so no one was startled. What I assumed was students in lon black robes pointed and whispered to each other as we passed gracefully. Of course we could hear the whispers of, "he's so hot!" "why are they wearing muggle clothes?" "She's beautiful." Finally we reached the doors where all the teenagers were filing in. We stepped in swiftly.
The four table were packed full of students. At the end of the room was another long table. Albus sat in the middle. I also recognized the other Professor's we saw last night. Hagrid waved as we came into view, beckoning us toward him. As we passed the student watched wide eyed, mouths dropped as we passed. We were by Hagrid in no time. Albus stood up and gestured to the two empty seats to his left. We walked over quickly.
"Please sit. And talk." We at down and turned our heads toward him.
"How are you two this morning?" he asked politely.
"Very well thank you." Edward said, the perfect gentlemen.
"So I was wondering, how exactly does one become a vampire, I am very interested in the whole process, I don't know when I'll meet, I guess another real vampire again." Edward launched into the mechanics of being a vampire, he was trying to keep it as light as possible. I wanted to blurt out how you writhe you writhe in pain four three days after your bitten. But it didn't seem appropriate to tell all the bloody details. I looked around the room. Most peopled were staring up at our table. There food was left untouched. I looked down in front of me at my own plate of food. It looked absolutely disgusting. I pushed it away slightly and looked at the ceiling. To my surprise it wasn't a ceiling at all. It was an exact replica of the sky outside, slightly cloudy, snowing. I willed us to be lucky. I wanted this to work out, and I knew it would.
"Excuse me." Albus said as he stood up.
"Good morning everyone! You might have noticed that we have some guests. This is Edward and Bella Cullen. They will be staying here for as long as the feel the need. Please treat them with respect. I have gave Edward my permission to watch some classes to learn of our kind. Now everyone, enjoy the meal!" Some students mumbled, "what are they? Are they magical?"
Edward was asking Albus how to get to certain classes. He looked so excited. The past few years his personality had definately let loose. I held his hand under the table concentrating on stroking his smooth skin.
"So the Volturi are like royalty?" Albus asked curiously.
"Yes, that's how I would describe them. If I were you I would be careful to not make your selves known to them. Apparently we're immune to magic. They could do... horrible things. And they will probably consider you as any human who knows too much."
"That's certainly a big problem, I'll notify the ministry And you say they created all those myths? Garlic, coffins, stakes?"
"Yes, we can't sleep. Our existence is one long day."
"What arethe characteristics of a vampire?"
I suddenly entered the conversation,"Vampires that feed on humans have red eyes. Those few that stick to animals have our color of eyes. We are very strong, strong enough to crush a boulder into dust, we have white skin, and very good senses." After that I dropped out and listened to them talk about how we're venomous, cauldrons, and to my surprise I learned that dragons existed. The teachers left, and the students slowly followed them. When we were some of the last people left Albus said we could look around.
"Wait." I said an idea coing to me. "What did you say that evil wizard's name was?"
"Voldemort." Albus said seriously.
"We could take care of him." I said eagerly.
"What?" They both said surprised.
"Think about it Edward, he's killing people. Magic doesn't work on us he's no threat. He can't out run us, he can't kill us. We could walk right up to him, snap his wand, and..." I didn't want to finish.
"I don't know Bella. It could still be dangerous, I don't want to loose you." He was protective! I wasn't human anymore.
"Edward, don't worry about me. We have a chance to help these people, we have to at least try." Albus seemed to be in deep concentration. "Please." I begged touching his cheek.
"It just might work." Albus said hopefully.
"How would we do it?" I asked, "where is he?"
"We don't know. But I could talk to the order, that's the movement against Voldemort. I think this is our best chance. But there is other concerns."
"What?"
"Horcruxes." He said sadly.
"What are Horcruxes?" Edward asked. He looked like he had accepted the plan.
"They are items. Items of dark magic that contain four pieces of Voldemorts soul. I've been tracking them for years. To split on soul even once is horrible, but seven times is beyond the limit. He is hardly human now." I was shocked, you could split your soul? It sounded painful. And evil...
"They are blocked by curses, terrible spells. And are extremely hard to locate. He held up one of his hands. I wrinkled my nose. It was totally black, dead looking. And on his finger was a large ring with a crack through the middle. "This is one of them."
"Is that how your hand got like that?" I asked.
"Yes. I should have been more careful. But I think that, if we were to find another one, you could destroy it without a problem."
"Yes."I agreed. "Wait... we can't just kill the guy, can we?"
"No, all Horcruxes must be destroyed before his human form can. Other wise he will keep coming back." This man was sounding more and more dangerous. I wandered what he would taste like, pure evil, with his soul demolished, and a wizard. Probably not that appetizing.
"Lets find him then." I said confidently.
"We should take some precautions first Bella. Have people try spells on us. That was only a few minor spell we didn't react to. I want this planned out right." Edward said gravely.
"Fine." I said impatiently. We had been alone for quite a while now.
"I'm going to discuss this with some people, you two can go."
"Shouldn't we be with you to plan?" I was a little irritated, I hated when I was not included in something.
"No, we'll having a meeting for that. Tomorrrow. With the whole order. We'll do test too to make sure. Excuse me." He hurried out of the hall, looking extremely preoccupied.
Edward's face was pulled into a frown. He was concentrating hard. He met my eyes, then his expression lifted and he gave me my favorite crooked smile."Well should we go to class?" Edward asked jokingly, gesturing to the exit.
"Sure." I said. This is a unique learning experience. I reminded myself Trying to not get too caught up on the possible future fight.
Thanks!! Please review! Sorry there's not a lot of action but I swear Harry, Ron, and Hermione will make there appearance in the next chapter!
