Renesmee POV

Today was the day. I grinned. I got out of bed and changed into jeans and a blue t-shirt.

I walked outside and spotted Jake sitting underneath an oak tree in the back yard, his back leaning against the trunk. I smiled and walked over to him. When I got nearer he lifted his head, smiling.

"Hey, Nessie," he greeted me.

"Morning, Jake," I replied, sitting in front of him so that my back was resting against his shirtless chest. He wrapped his arms around me, murmuring, "I love you," into my ear.

"I love you, too, Jake," I replied, smiling. "So what do you think Hogwarts will be like?" I asked him.

"I 'dunno. But I hope they have good food there." I laughed at this. "You and your stomach," I said, shaking my head. "Speaking of food, how am I gonna feed, Jake?" That was a big problem for a coven of vampires in a school full of humans. Jacob paused. "I guess he'll tell us when we get there. He wouldn't just let a bunch of vampires in a school filled with children if he didn't have a way for you to feed." I contemplated this. "Yeah, you're right," I agreed. "Hey Jake, what's the pack gonna do while you're gone?" "I 'dunno. They'll figure something out. Besides, if it's really important, they'll find a way to contact me."

The duo heard a crack! and turned their attention to the front door of my house. Sure enough, a redheaded wizard was standing on the porch. "I think that's our way to King's Cross station."

Jake and I got up and walked hand-in-hand toward the wizard. "Hello there!" I greeted, startling the man.

"Oh, hello. You surprised me! I'm Arthur Weasly. I'm supposed to take the Cullens and a Jacob Black to Platform Nine and Three Quarters?" he said.

I smiled. "That's us! The rest of the family is inside. Come on in!" I siad, opening the door and allowing him to step through.

"This...wow...nice place you have," he said, his eyes wide with wonder. He gazed around the house, with it's all white interior and glass walls.

"It's just a house," I said. "Just a house? This place is a manision!" he exclaimed.

He finally seemed to notice the people in the room. His eyes widend as he took in their pale complection and honey colored eyes. Carlisle smiled warmly at him. "You're the wizard that is to take us to the train station, I presume?" he asked, his voice filled with kindness.

"Yes, just grab onto my arm, and we'll Apparate straight there." Carlisle nodded, and Jacob grumbled about being sick afterwards. When Mr. Weasly wasn't looking, I brought my hand to Jake's forehead, putting feelings of reassurance through the link. I removed my hand and Jake smiled at me, a silent thank you evident in his eyes.

Everyone grabbed hold of Mr. Weasly, and then we were at the station.

Jasper POV

The first thing that registered in my mind after Apparating was the smell.

It was intoxicating, the smell of the blood. I could see the veins pulsing through the humans' skin, I could hear the steady rythem of each individual heartbeat. It was worse than at school.

Alice squeezed my hand, noticing my discomfort. Carlisle smiled reasuringly.

We bid farewell to Arthur Weasly and boarded the train. We had a compartment all to ourselves.

As we were alone, Carlisle decided it was time to set some standered rules. "Okay, I just want to make a few things clear. Most likely, the boys and girls will be in seperate dormitories. That being said, we will have to fake being asleep during the night. Another rule, should the genders be seperated, is that there will be no sneaking into the other dorms. Especially you two, Emmett, Rosalie."

"Not fair..." Emmett muttered. Rosalie didn't say anything.

"Carlisle, when we hunt, I think we should go in pairs, or three people at most. It would raise too much suspicion if we all disappeared at the same time. We should also only hunt at night, while the other students are asleep."

Esme nodded he head in agreement. "Good idea, Alice. Speaking of food, what should we do at meal time? It would look strange if none of us ate at all."

"That won't be a problem for Nessie," said Bella, "But the rest of us will just have to choke it down, I guess."

Emmett made a face, which caused all of the people in the compartment to laugh. Even Rosalie.

I sighed. Judging by how many people were at the station, there was a lot more people attending Hogwarts than Forks High School. This was going to be a long year.
