When Bella and Professor Riddle returned back to Hogwarts, it was dinner time. As they entered the Great Hall, heads turned their way. Bella couldn't help all the curious and jealous shot at her by the girls. It didn't surprise her that Professor Riddle was popular among the female students. Professor Riddle strode to the Professor's Table and gracefully took a seat.
"Good evening," said Professor Dumbledore,"I hope you all are enjoying your meal. In the first time in 44 years, a transfer student will be joining us. Her name is Isabella Swan. Let's all welcome her". This was all said with a merry twinkle in his eye. Personally, between his hideous purple and orange robes and observing Professor Riddle's passive face, Bella did not notice the scowl of some of the Slytherins. As she walked towards the Sorting Hat, she tripped over... nothing and blushed as she remained sprawled on the floor. The entire hall erupted into laughter.
"Hope she's not in my house," someone in the crowd called out. This just brought on another wave of laughter. Bella, instead of getting up was too busy worrying about her reputation. It was debut in this new magical world and she already screwed it up.
"Get up you foolish girl!" whispered a dark haired man with a greasy nose. At the harsh reminder, she scrambled onto her feet and reached the stool. A dirty old hat was placed upon her head.
Ahhh, a transfer student. Haven't seen one in decades. A voice said inside her head.
"EDWARD?! IS THAT YOU?" Bella sprung to her her feet. This caused another wave of laughter through out the hall.
"Miss. Swan, it's the voice of the sorting hat. Please do calm down," whispered a strict-looking professor. Bella realized what had happened and blushed. She sat down and prayed that the floor would swallow her.
Miss. Swan... Eh? What is this? Why would Albus...? It doesn't concern me. Now where should I put you?
"Can you put me in Slytherin please?" Bella asked.
Slytherin? Oh I see. Seems like Tom's still the heart throb he was decades ago. But , I'm afraid that's not possible. You'd be eaten alive in the snake den! Not to mention you've got absolutely no ambition or cunning. Your life ambition is to be with your vampire boyfriend forever.
"WHAT?! How do you know this?" Bella was very alarmed. The hat knows her secrets now.
Calm down. I won't be blabbering to anyone. Now let's see... You have a decent mind, although your common sense is a bit... Ravenclaw's not for you. You are hard working and loyal, but only to those vampires. Let's see, let's see. Ah, you have a habit of charging into dangerous situations. Not exactly courage, but good enough.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"NOOOO!" A pair of redheads cried theatrically. However, the rest of the house clapped politely.
