Unwanted

Chapter Two

I woke up a few days later to find my self laying in my room at the orphanage. I rubbed my eyes at sat up. Ow. Bad move. I was very stiff. So, I just flopped back down on my bed, annoyed.

Then I saw Miss Sarah step into my room.

"I thought I heard you. How do you feel?" she asked me as she walked over to my bed.

"I'm a little stiff but other then that I feel fine" I told her.

Then a thought popped into my mind. "where is professor Dumbledore?" I asked.

"he is back at Hogwarts, but he told me to tell him when you woke up. He is still mad at the men who stunned you. And I don't blame him! Twelve sunning spells! Are they crazy? If you had been a full human, there is no dout in my mind that the spells would have kiiled you!" she said, sounding mad.

"so what exactly happened? Why did they attack me?" I asked her.

"well, after you and Dumbledore went into diagon ally, tom the barman figured out that you were a vampire, and he thought that Dumbledore didn't know, and that you intended to hurt Dumbledore. So, he called his friends to help him stop you. Once you came back into the leaky cauldron, some of the men pulled Dumbledore out of the way, as the rest of men stunned you. Idiots. Well, lets just say Dumbledore was not happy at all. He brought you here and told us what happed. Nurse Becky took care of you and assured Dumbledore that you be just fine, before he went back to Hogwarts. He must be fond of you because he was quite worried that you might be hurt" she said.

"really? That's so nice" I said.

"yes. Now, I must go send an owl to Dumbledore to tell him you're awake" she said before she walked out my door.

So, Dumbledore was worried about me? Aww.

Then I saw my purchases at the bottom my bed. I decided to start studying. even though I had grown up in the magical world, I guessed I still had a lot to learn.

September first

I stood outside the Hogwarts express, starring at it, amazed, and trying to ignore the many eyes I felt on me, and the people running away from me.

I stepped onto the Hogwarts express and tried to find an empty compartment.

I found one at the end of the train, and stepped into it. I placed my trunk on the top rack and sat down, sighing. I had a feeling that the stares and the fright would continue throughout the year, and I should just ignore it.

About an hour later a lady with a cart stopped outside my compartment door, slid the door open, smiled, and asked me "anything off the cart, dear?"

I smiled back and said "no, thank you"

She nodded, closed the door, and left.

The rest of the train ride passed silently. After a voice echoed through the train saying that we would arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes, I slipped into my Hogwarts robes.

Then the train slowed to a stop. I opened my compartment door and hurried over to the exit, trying to get off the train quickly, to avoid the starring.

I heard a booming voice saying "firs' years! Firs' years over 'ere!" so I followed the sound of the voice and stood by the large man calling the first years.

Once all the first year were huddled by the big man, he said "alright, follow me!"

Then walked over to the big lake shore that had boats all along it.

"six ter a boat! Get in, get in!" the man said.

I walked around to several boats that already had people in them but they all shrunk away from me and one of them that held a blonde boy and two burly boys had the nerve to say "ugh, stay away from us, you freak!"

Then the big man came over to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said "come sit in my boat" he walked me over to a bigger boat and we sat down on it.

The boats took off, gently gliding across the dark lake.

"so, yeh mus' be Miss Bella. Dumbledore told me about yeh. Its an hounner to meet you. I'm hagrid" the man said.

"you're not afraid of me?" was the first thing popped out of my mouth. Whoops. I clapped a hand over my mouth.

Hagrid laughed and said "course not! I'm the care of magical creatchers teacher"

"ahh. That would explain it. Well I'm glad at least one person in this school other then professor Dumbledore likes me" I mumbled.

"ignore the idiots that are mean to yeh. The ones that care don't matter, and the ones that matter don't care. A little for yeh" he smiled at me.

I laughed. Then I saw that we had reached the other side of the lake, so, I stepped out of the boat and onto dry land. Then all of the first years walked up to the castle and through the big front doors. A woman was sanding there, waiting.

The woman said "thank you, hagrid. I've got them from here"

Hagrid nodded and walked back out the doors. then the woman said "I'm Professor McGonnagal. Follow me"

She lead us through several other doors, into a room where she told us to wait for her to come back and get us.

Several minutes passed, with mutters and stares at me. I ignored them and started humming. Then McGonnagal walked back through the doors, put us in to a neat line, and walked us to the Great Hall.

When we stepped inside the Great Hall there were ooo's and ahh's as people looked around.

McGonnagal walked to the front of the line, pulled a list out of her pocket, and started calling out names for people to be sorted. When called my name, all she said was "Bella!" because I never had a last name. I walked forward, sat down on the stool, and placed the Sorting Hat on my head.

Hmm, where should I put you? You're very smart, and have gone through a lot of things in your life, it seems. Well I think it would be best to place you in…

"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat called out. There were no cheers, like the students had done when the other first years had been sorted. I just walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down, away from the rest of the students.

Sigh, I will never fit in. I thought to myself as the big, golden plates filled with food. I ate, and when the other students had finished eating, the prefects lead us to the Gryffindor common room. I went up to my room- I had a room to myself, like I had In the orphanage- flopped down on my bed, and fell asleep.
