Chapter 2: Plans
Renesmee's POV
"How are we supposed to blend in?" I asked. "I have never been to school before. "You'll be fine honey," Bella answered. "You aren't growing anymore and you have good self-control."
"Okay, I guess."
"I suggest that Jacob gets some sleep while the rest of us hunt. I have a feeling we have busy times ahead," Carlisle said.
Everyone nodded in agreement and ran off into the forest. I followed as soon as I had kissed Jacob goodbye.
The next morning I walked into the family room and saw everyone else sitting by the table with charts, maps, brochures, books and guides scattered everywhere. These were clearly to do with Hogwarts. It sounded interesting to me, even though the name choice was a bit off.
"Ah, Nessie we have finally decided what to do," Edward said. "Hogwarts opens tomorrow, and we have some serious shopping to do. We have also decided to put you and Jacob in the sixth year and everyone else but Esme and Carlisle in the seventh year." He spoke again, this time to everyone.
"Let's start with the Hale family. Jasper and Rosalie will be twins. Jacob and Bella will be their adoptive brother and sister. Their adoptive mother will be Esme. This time we will rather keep it as two separate families, otherwise we might be doubted more than usual. The Cullen family is next. Carlisle Cullen adopted us. Renesmee and I are brother and sister, because we look so alike. Emmet and Alice will have been adopted separately. Does everyone understand?"
"Wow, I'm glad we all have photographic memories or I would not have heard a word you were saying!" Emmet chuckled.
I smiled. That was one of the many perks of being a vampire. Well, in my case, half-vampire.
Edward kept explaining. "Carlisle has sent an application to get a job at the school. They wanted to have a Professor for medicine, so he should easily get the position."
I smiled again. Typical dad, having absolutely everything planned. "Just one more thing," he said. "Bella, I know this is a lot to ask, but you will need to shield the entire school in case the Volturi decide to try something.
"It fine," Bella answered. "My shield is much easier to control now.
"Well," Alice chimed in, "now that that's settled, I believe we have some shopping to do!"
She glided into the kitchen and fetched an old pot. "Hold onto this everybody," she said. "It's called a Portkey. It transports wizards from one place to another." I held onto the edge of the pot, and so did everyone else. After a few seconds the pot started shaking, then spinning, and before I knew it we were hurtling through the air.
We landed in a place called Diagon Alley. No one there seemed to notice that we had just appeared out of nowhere.
I looked at all the little shops, with interesting names on them. It all looked so fascinating! Alice started walking and we followed her, and I was still in awe. A couple of boys wolf-whistled at me as I walked past, but I was used to it by now.
"Where are we going?" I asked Alice. "Well, we obviously need some money, so the bank is my answer."
We neared a gigantic building that was very appealing. In front of the door stood two green humanoids with big heads. Edward saw the confused look on my face. "Goblins," he whispered, so low that only I could hear.
One of the goblins spoke. "Welcome to Gringotts," he said.
