I walked down to dinner that night, feeling like an absolute zombie. I have decided to tell Cedric what happened. I hate lying, the guilt just builds up and I crack. I have also decided that Fred is no longer my favorite person in the entire world. Half way down to the Great Hall someone pulled me into a corridor. I looked to see who it was and Cedric was in front of me.
"Hello Princess. How was Hogsmeade?" He asked.
"Crap. We need to talk." I said.
I took his hand and led him to an unused classroom. He looked at me weirdly. I closed the door behind us and pulled him to me, kissing him tenderly. This is probably going to be the last time I get to do this. After a minute or so we pulled away.
"What was that for?" He asked, smiling.
"I just wanted to." I said.
"I love you Bella. I want you to know that before you tell me what your about to tell me."
I didn't know how to react. I don't love Cedric, I really like him, but I'm just still in love with Edward, and that is going to take a long time to get over.
"But today, something happened."
"What is it?"
Someone then barged in and I looked to see Professor Snape. Great! This is just what I need.
"What are you two doing in here? You need to be downstairs in the Great Hall, the new people are being introduced soon." He said.
"Sorry Professor. We'll be going now." I said.
I held Cedric's hand and we walked out of the classroom and started walking down to the Great Hall.
"What did you need to tell me?" Ced asked.
"It's nothing, it can wait until later."
He nodded and then we walked into the Great Hall. Cedric came to sit at our table but as soon as we sat there Fred stood up.
"Can we talk Bella please?" He asked.
"I have nothing to say to you." I said.
Everyone looked at us weirdly but Fred just pleaded me with his eyes so I huffed and stood up, following him out of the Great Hall.
"Please do not tell everyone what happened, I don't want to ruin your relationship with Cedric okay. Just don't him we kissed, I accept that you don't feel the same. Let's just forget it and be friends okay." Fred said.
"How can we just forget it? You said you really liked me." I said.
"I know and you said you liked me, but if you want to be with Cedric I won't get in the way."
"Okay. Thank you. I love Cedric."
He nodded, but I could see the pain in his eyes.
"Can we just go back to normal? Try and pretend this didn't happen today." I added.
"Of course."
I smiled at him and then we both walked back into the Great Hall. Maybe I don't have to tell Cedric after all. As soon as we sat down and everyone else had taken their seats Professor Dumbledore stood up. I looked at Professor Umbridge, expecting her to interrupt like she normally does but she just sat there, not looking overly impressed.
"As you all know a certain dark wizard is now back, and families are worried about their children. This is why we have brought some extra protection into the castle. These are not normal people, I have known the leader of the coven for over one hundred years and he is a dear friend of mine. You do not need to be scared of them but I do need to tell you that these are immortals, but in other words, Vampires."
My breathe caught in my mouth as the sweats poured down my face. No! Surely not! They have no idea about the magical world, I was sworn to secrecy so no one knew. Well, I lied, Edward knows, I had to tell him.
"They do not feed of off human blood so you do not need to be scared. I want you all to treat them as you treat everyone else in the castle. So please welcome, the Cullen's."
I started panicking, my breathing got heavier but everyone else was looking around, a bit confused as to why they would bring Vampires into the school to protect everyone. The sweats then kicked in. I was trying to hard not to cry but then the Great Hall doors opened and they walked in.
First Carlisle, followed by Esme, then Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice. Then he walked in after them. He knows exactly where he is. Edward was looking around, obviously searching for me, he knows all about Hogwarts and magic. Luckily enough that was just a disguise. The tears came to my eyes instantly and I tried to hold them back but to no avail as I felt a couple spill down my cheeks. I wiped them away before people could notice them and I tried to compose myself, but again to no avail. Everyone was looking ahead so no one was paying attention to me luckily.
"Edward, Alice and Emmett are all going to be in Gryffindor. Rosalie and Jasper are then going to be in Hufflepuff. Everyone has already been sorted earlier in the day. Carlisle is going to be helping Madame Pomfrey in the hospital wing and Esme is going to be helping Professor McGonagall with Transfiguration." Professor Dumbledore said.
Professor Dumbledore just went on about some stuff about their diet etc... But in this time Fred looked at me.
"Are you okay Bella?"
The tears were streaming down my face then and I stood up from the table and ran out of the Great Hall, not caring about who might be staring at me, even though everyone was probably staring. Why did they come here? Edward wanted to get away from me, hence why I left Forks and I am currently heartbroken to the point where I don't love Cedric anymore. We couldn't have just left it at nice to meet you, he had to save me and we had to get into a relationship. I just don't want to feel like this anymore.
I ran upstairs to the Gryffindor Common Room and jumped onto my four poster bed, pulling my curtains around me and sobbing. I don't even understand why he would come here, and how they got into houses. Alice was 19 when she was turned, she isn't even in the age limit, Edward was 17 so he was just in the limit but Jasper was 19, Emmett was 20 and Rosalie was 18. It was good seeing everyone but it just made it 100 times harder to get over him with him now being around.
I don't know when but eventually I just cried myself to sleep, preparing myself to wake up screaming and sobbing again.
