"Dizzy Izzy! Dizzy Izzy! Wakey wakey!" My nice comfy bed was moving around and someone was yelling in my ear. Luckily I don't have it in me to get upset; I'm excited to start the day. I snapped my eyes open and plastered my permanent smile on my face.
"I'm up I'm up! Stop bouncing! I gotta pee! I'll be right back!" I jumped out of bed and ran to the door trying to ignore the laughter coming from Trixie behind me. I stopped at the door and turned to look at her with a sheepish smile.
"Um, Trix, where's the bathroom?" she giggled and pointed to a door next to my closet. I didn't even notice it before. I mumbled a thanks and ran to it.
After I took care of business I hopped in the shower. They had stocked the bathroom with all the necessities and let me tell you, it was nice having a real shower. Over the years the closest I got was a hose with a bucket of soapy water dumped on me, while fully clothed.
After the shower I brushed my teeth and hair than wrapping myself in a towel I walked out to the room. Trixie wasn't there but she laid out some clothes for me and a note telling me to meet her in the dining room for breakfast. Too bad I didn't know where the dining room was. I sighed.
I quickly dressed and left my hair to dry naturally. It was way to long and I was way too lazy to try and dry it.
I was excited about my outfit. It was something the old Bella would never wear but thankfully it wasn't a dress like Trixie and Cissy always wore. It was a black fishnet long sleeve top that had finger holes for my thumbs and middle fingers. A black leather corset with green swirls going around it. Also black cargo type pants shredded slightly to give it that bad girl look. I skipped the socks and shoes; I was used to being barefoot and came to prefer it. I was even left some robes and can you guess what color? Ha-ha yup black.
I opened the door prepared to get lost trying to find the dining room. Abby had other ideas apparently. She slithered next to me and told me to follow her. Chan seemed to appear out of no where and followed behind Abby and I, both of them in their snake forms.
Chan told me he preferred that form because it was more intimidating and there were still death eaters in the house. I just giggled at that. I'm pretty sure I already intimidate everyone here with my cheery borderline psychotic attitude. Hmmm, you're right, I'm over the border, yup just cheery psycho here.
Just so we know for future references this place is fucking huge. It must have taken us hours to get to the dining room. Ok, I exaggerated, only like ten minutes, but still!
We could hear the chatter from behind the doors so there must've been a bunch of people here for breakfast.
"C'mon guys, lets make our grand entrance." I hissed to my guardians while waving my hands in the air dramatically. Abby pushed the door open with here head and slithered in closely followed by me than Chan. All chatter stopped and all eyes were on us. You could see the fear in the eyes of everyone looking at Abby and Chan. I giggled at the expressions.
I spotted Trixie bouncing in her seat waving at me so I skipped on over. I took my seat next to her and waited patiently for someone to start talking again. Ok, so maybe I'm not that patient. I rolled my eyes and hissed towards Chan.
"Chan, do you think you and Abby can try not to be so scary? I think we broke them," I laughed, "why don't you guys just wonder around for a bit while I eat? Than you can come hang out with me while I'm learning this whole witch thing."
"Sure thing Isabella, would you prefer us in our human bodies to try and put everyone at ease?"
I giggled again, "it may be easier but it's up to you. You shouldn't be forced to do that just because we have a bunch of wimps in our presence." Abby hissed a laugh before both her and Chan nodded to me and slithered away.
Trixie realized I was done speaking with my guardians and started talking a mile a minute to me about our plans today. While we were served breakfast from the house elves, (Trixie told me that's what the ugly little things were called), I was informed that today would mostly be reading so I could study up on the history and maybe gain some information about the spells we will be practicing tomorrow.
Once we were done with breakfast Trixie led me to the library which coincidentally was right next to my room. Cissy was in there along with my guardians, this time Abby was in human form though Chan stayed in his python skin.
Three walls were filled bottom to top with books and let me tell ya, the ceiling went pretty high in this room, at least thirty feet. There were some couches and tables in the room as well. Next to one of the couches was a stack of books that cissy informed me I would need to read through. I sighed; it didn't look like I would be visiting PC today.
I sat down and started reading thanking whatever god was up there that I am a quick reader. Cissy and Trixie left to do their own thing, Chan went to explore the manor and Abby sat down next to me deciding to read on her own.
I was expecting to be bored out of my mind reading all those books but surprisingly I wasn't. I learned all different things in the history of magic. There were a lot more magical creatures than I could have imagined.
There was a book about the Volturi, the kings of the cold ones, which I found particularly fascinating. Apparently there are different types of vampires too which sparked my interest. Those vampires were more like the myths and I found myself looking forward to meeting one of them. They are called the Originals. They are stronger and faster than the cold ones but easier to kill, not that I will be trying to kill them; unless they upset me.
I also learned that the legends Jacob told me when I first got to forks were true for more than just the cold ones. His bloodline contains a shape shifter gene so he more than likely turns into a big fluffy dog and chases the big bad vamps around, maybe squirrels too if he sees one, insert internal giggle here; hehe.
After I get all this down pat I'll have to pay him a visit. I'm sure he'd like to take a piece out of the Cullen's when I go after them. I know for a fact he always had a crush on me and if he is now a wolf I'm sure he'd love to take out the vamp responsible for my disappearance.
Well, the Cullen's aren't exactly responsible but if they never left me unprotected or if they just let James take me out instead of killing him we wouldn't have had any further issues. I'd be dead the Cullen's could've moved on and… nah, I like this outcome better.
Several hours later Chan slithered into the room.
"Isabella, you missed lunch and everyone has already arrived for dinner, won't you join them? You need to eat," Chan hissed.
"I totally forgot! I'm not used to eating so much in a day. Just let me finish this page and I will be right there." Chan nodded his head and slithered out. Abby stood from her spot and transformed back into a python before wrapping herself around my body once again. I'm starting to really enjoy having someone so close.
After I put the book down we, Abby and I, walked down to the dining room. Chan wasn't here so I assumed he was just wandering again. Once again everyone got quiet when we walked in so I just rolled my eyes. At the head of the table I noticed the dark lord, or DL as I will be calling him now, was sitting. It looked like he would be joining us tonight. I took my place next to Trixie like I had for breakfast.
"Good evening everyone," I smiled as I spoke to everyone. No one seemed to want to respond, they just stared at me like I had and extra head or nose or something.
"Do these incompetent fools not know how to speak? It is rude not to return the gesture. Maybe we should cut out there tongues so they have a reason for their silence," Abby hissed in my ear. I started to giggle which caused even more stares since no one but I could hear Abby.
"I don't think DL would appreciate it if we cut out the tongues of his followers, though I personally like the idea," I hissed back to Abby. This caused a few gasps and caught the attention of DL.
His hood was up covering most his face which disappointed me. Even so I could tell he was slightly curious to know who I was speaking with just by the way he cocked his head towards me. My thoughts were confirmed when he spoke to me in parseltongue.
"Dear Isabella, to whom are you speaking?" he hissed.
I giggled as I responded, "my guardian Abby is with me. I am not sure you have met my guardians yet. They were in my families vault waiting for me. Their names are Chan and Abby. Abby is imprinted on my body right now so she can stay with me without intimidating everyone and Chan is wandering around in his human form right now. As my guardians they have a few tricks up their sleeves. Although they can only speak parseltongue no matter what form they are in."
"Why were you speaking of cutting out tongues and who is this DL you speak of?" you couldn't see it with his hood up but I could definitely hear the smile in his voice. I was happy to know he was amused by this.
"Abby thinks it was rude of everyone to stay silent when I said good evening and she thinks we should give them a reason to stay silent. DL would be you. It's easier than say dark lord all the time. Don't worry though; to those who understand me I'll make sure to only call you my lord or something cheesy like that." I winked and DL nodded at toward me. I think he was trying to keep himself from laughing. He seems to be trying to keep his badass persona up but even evil fuckers need to laugh once in a while. I'll be sure to make getting him to laugh my goal.
After our little conversation the house elves served our dinner and to my relief small talk was created once again amongst those in attendance.
"Hey Trixie, I haven't seen good ol' Snape around since I met him. Where's he hiding?"
"Oh Izzy, Snape is a professor at Hogwarts. He was only here that day to help unbind your magic. He also acts as a double double agent?" the end of her statement came as a question so she elaborated for me. "He serves the dark lord but pretends to work for old man Dumble but really comes back here." Our whole conversation was hushed so no one could over hear us.
"Oh, I get it. Nifty job he's got going on," I commented.
"He'll be here with little Draco for winter holiday. He will be teaching you about potions." Trixie informed me.
After dinner I made my way to the library to finish up a few more books before bed. After a few more hours I went to my room and quickly changed for bed. Abby left me for the night but said she would probably be back before I woke up so I wouldn't even notice. I laid down on my bed and shut my eyes letting my thoughts and dreams drift to all the new things I have learned.
