Chapter Four-
******
wordpainter007-Don't worry, I forgot HP1-4 so it's all good! Yes, Aragog died in the sixth, he had a rare illness, but J.K. Rowling never said what it was. Thanks for reading, reviewing and enjoying my story!
Bav123 ()-No, it wasn't hard, it just came to me....Thanks for reading!
Inkinhart-No they don't have magic, but that's why they are going to only try to get into Astronomy, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, ect. You know, things that require little to no magic. All I will say is that yes, there is a big twist coming up soon.
ivy ()-Thanks for reviewing again, and yup, Jane's in Slytherin. (She's seems evil enough LOL).
twilighter2014-Thanks for saying that! Yes, Aragog died in Half-Blood Prince. It was so sad.
emmett the pimp-Thank you so much for the password! I am forever grateful!
lilyflower42- What do you mean, 'what about Draco'? Sorry, you know me and how oblivious I am! I'm glad you like Bella's accent and the story. Thanks for reviewing!
.HeaRT-Thanks for saying that! No one has 'hearted' my story yet, but there's a first time for every thing I s'pose.

Bella
We stood on the side of the stage, hidden from the view of others. We agreed to go Hogsmeade in the morning and get some supplies before our exams, but for now we were to be 'sorted'. We all had to get into Gryffindor according to Em, but I still wasn't sure how we did that, since I wasn't paying attention when Emmett was explaining the sorting.
There were ghosts swarming the dining hall, and students busy talking animatedly, until Dumbledore cleared his throat on stage. "Hogwarts, this year, will be doing something we haven't done it two years" he began
Harry
"Who d'you think would be a good replacement for Katie while she's at St. Mungo's, harry?" Ron asked me.
"Dean was pretty brilliant in practice, I was thinking him" I told Ron.
"I don't like that bloke. He's just not well" Ron disagreed.
"That's only because he snogged Ginny" I snapped.
"Would you quit reminding me of that!" Ron begged.
Eh-hem, I heard from the stage. I looked up and Dumbledore was about to make an announcement. "Hogwarts, this year, will be doing something it hasn't done it two years. Students from the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons schools will be coming to study abroad" A lump swelled in my throat. I was silently begging that Dumbledore wouldn't say the Triwizard Tournament, that's what happened two years ago when Hogwarts boarded students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. I knew that chances were slim, but after what happened in fourth year, any mention of the Triwizard Tournament freaked me out. "Three girls, two boys. The boys and two of the girls in their sixth year, and the last girl in her fifth. The four in their sixth year will be taking their O.W.L.S. tomorrow and be enrolled into their passing N.E.W.T. classes. I trust that you will all treat them with the utmost dignity and respect that Hogwarts expects. Now, without further adue we shall sort our guests!" he announced.
The lump in my throat lessened and I was able to breathe. "Did you hear that Harry? Five new students!" Hermione told me excitedly. I nodded once, still trying to comprhend everything happening.
Bella
"Alice Cullen!" Dumbledore shouted.
Alice walked onto the stage and sat down on a stool. Dumbledore set the misshapen hat on her head. After a few seconds the hat did something I hadn't expected it to do. A small hole above the brim of the hat was made and the hat came alive. I began to remember what Emmet had told us, 'The hat is enchanted, it'll look into your mind and see what characteristics you have. These characteristics will decide what house you're in'.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat shouted.
"No" I groaned.
Alice walked towards us on her way towards the Hufflepuff table. "I didn't know it looks into your mind. Sorry" she said and bounded towards the table. By the look of her strained face she obviously still couldn't see into the future.
"Edward Cullen" Dumbledore said. Edward walked onto the stage and sat down on the stool. I heard a few gasps and contented sighs. He had been there ten seconds and all the girls were already swooning over him. I smiled a bit, glad that he was mine and mine alone.
The hat's pieces of felt strips on the side pulled up to the brim, in a thinking position and it 'hmmed'. "Tough one, courageous, smart, diligent. Almost as hard as the Potter boy." he said in deep thought, "It has been decided. RAVENCLAW!" the hat said.
Edward hopped off the stage and walked towards the Ravenclaws. "Lemme show you how its done" Emmett whispered to me and Dumbledore said his name.
He walked on stage and the hat was placed on his head. "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat said immediately. Emmett smiled proudly, he was the first one to succeed.
"Bella Swan" Dumbledore said next. I was worried, I wanted to be in Gryffindor, like we were supposed to, but I also wanted to be with Edward. I felt Confunded. (They got schooled in MOST of what sixth years would already know by now). As I walked across the stage I was glad I was a vampire, or else my heart would had pounded out of my chest, my cheeks would be blood red and my palms would be sweaty.
I sat down on the stool and the hat was placed on my head. "Hmm, Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, huh? Not Slytherin, then? Tough one as well. But wait, I know where you belong. RAVENCLAW!" he said and I was relieved. I wanted to be with Edward and I was. I walked over to the seat next to him and looked up, Jane was last.
"Jane Volturi" Dumbledore said.
That reminded me of something. "How did Aro let Jane leave?" I whispered to Edward.
"Oh, that" he whispered back, while chuckling slightly, he had obviously seen it in Em's head, "Emmett told Aro that Alice saw a vision of a mighty creature rising and taking over the Volturi. That being Voldemort and all. Aro was so freaked out that he didn't even check them, he just told them to take Jane, who was apparently needed to stop this guy, and leave." he let out one more chuckle, that I joined him in.
I looked over at the sorting hat and the weirdest thing happened. Only seconds before the hat touched her head the hat yelled "SLYTHERIN!".
"It didn't even touch her" I whispered to Edward.
"Like Malfoy" he whispered back.
Jane stepped off the stage and walked towards the Slytherins, who were shaking, probabaly with fear.
"That concludes our mid-year sorting, please go back to your dorms." Dumbledore said.
"Hello" someone said to me as I stood up. I looked over my shoulder and a girl with bright eyes and silky looking blonde hair was smiling at me. She had radish earrings dangling from her ears and a lace of bottle caps around her neck.
"'Ello, I am Bella Swan. This eeze Edward Cullen" I said to the young Ravenclaw.
"Luna Lovegood, pleasure to meet you" she said and I remembered this girl, her father was editor if the Quibbler, a magazine that supported Harry and printed stories about him, after meeting Harry.
She was also friends with Harry and Ginny, which was a good thing. "My dorm has a spare bed if you'd like to bunk with me" she offered.
"I thought I 'ad to bunk with those of my year" I said, but I could feel Edward's hand gripping tighter around me, telling me not to miss an opportunity to bunk with a girl close to Harry, "But, I'd love to. Thanks" I said.
"Of course, I think Ginny and Harry would love to meet you" she said, "I'll go get them and we can meet up in the library" she said.
"Okay. Thanks, see you there" I said. Luna nodded and bounded off towards the Gryffindors. "Come on, we can go unpack and go to the library. I'll tell Alice and Em to meet us there" I said.
"Okay, meet you in the Common Room afterwards and we can meet up with everyone else in the library" he said. We walked through the entrance, a large wooden wall. The eagle like knocker opened it's beak and spoke. "When a person has everything, what has he lost?"
"The person has lost himself. He is no longer a man, proud of what he has, but a man with nothing." Edward answered. (IDK. My dad told me it forever ago and I couldn't remember what it was exactly).
"Shaky, but well spoken" the eagle replied.
"Thanks" I said to him for answering the question and walked up to where Luna's dorm was pointed out to me. I was a bit excited, in five minutes I would be meeting the Chosen One, I was such a fan girl.

On another note, if you flame me saying 'This sucks', remember that I won't benefit from that and you look like a git because all you are doing is insulting me. If you don't like my story, TELL ME WHY! TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO TO MAKE IT BETTER! Thanks!
Last thing, I swear, the Cullens don't have magic, but I have a super secret plan to avoid that detail, so fret not, they are going to take their O.W.L.S. in two chapters. Thanks for reading!
Sorry this end note was so long!
-Your extra super appreciative writer!
