Albus Dumbledore
Carlisle POV
"Good Evening, I am Albus Dumbledore. You must be Doctor Carlisle Cullen," A tall man with long hair and auburn beard, stood at the entrance. He had piercing blue eyes and wore half moon spectacles.
"Yes," I replied politely, remaining calm.
"I am here, to look for Adele Hailey Cullen." I debated whether to let him in. He seemed sincere and anyway, he definitely couldn't win a house full of vampires. I stepped back to let him in.
"Can you get Mr Dumbledore a glass of wine?" I whispered to Rosalie, who was standing behind me. Dumbledore did not seem shocked by our 'appearances'. Maybe he was just good at hiding his feelings.
"Adele, you have a visitor." I led Dumbledore to the living room.
"Lovely house you have, Mr Cullen," Dumbledore commented. I smiled to myself, trying to imagine how Esme looked now. She definitely heard the compliment. I looked up when I heard Adele's noisy footsteps. She was followed by most of the family, it was as if they were the body guards. Everyone was wary except for Edward. Adele sat right in front of us with Esme and Edward by her side.
"Good evening, I am Professor Albus Dumbledore from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." We all stiffened at that. "I am here, to inform you all that Adele here, has been reserved a place in Hogwarts." We did not see that coming; I have lived for this many years but have never even heard a thing about it. Adele looked dumbfounded. I did not know whether to trust him or not. In the years I have lived, I did not know witches and wizards existed, thinking that it was just a myth, until the day I adopted Adele. Now there was a school for them as well! I looked towards Edward and he smiled reassuringly.
"I-I'm a witch?"Adele found her voice and stammered.
"I assume that your family has not told you that yet." I was shocked. It was as if he knew every single secret of ours.
"I believe you have a very interesting background, Adele Hailey Naquem. You have special powers that you have to learn to control. Have you ever experienced anything weird these years? Now that you are eleven, you must learn to control them. The professors at Hogwarts will teach you all you need to know. You will attend Hogwarts and live there until you are seventeen," he said.
"Of course you can come home, but only during the summer holidays and Christmas." He added when he saw Adele's desperate look.
"Until seventeen, you are not to use magic outside the boundaries of Hogwarts. You will be briefed more about the rules in Hogwarts. This is a letter that contains all the books you need to buy and your robes." He handed a letter to me with a wax seal with the Hogwarts crest on it. There was a lion, eagle, badger and snake.
"What about Tom, is he attending as well?" Adele suddenly asked.
"Ah, Tom is attending as well." Dumbledore answered, but in a peculiar way. I wondered what happened, I would ask Edward later.
"You have to take the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station before eleven, at platform 9 ¾." 9 ¾, there wasn't such a platform, or was there?
"Look for a barrier between platforms 9 and 10. If not, I assume Edward here has already seen it in my head." He looked towards Edward, who was grinning, as if he knew Dumbledore for many years.
"Edward, I think you will also be able to show your family how to get to Diagon Alley?" He confirmed.
"Yes."
"It is so convenient, having a mind reader. Saves a lot of time," Dumbledore commented.
I could not help but asked, "How do you know so much about us?"
He smiled and said, "I have my sources."
"Oh, this reminds me, Alice," my eyes widened at the fact that he knew our names, I still could not get use to him knowing everything about us.
"You won't be able to see anti-muggle places." We all looked confused but decided to bombard Edward with questions later.
"Now, I have to leave, nice to meet all of you. See you at Hogwarts Adele." And with that, he vanished with a pop.
