The Land of Oz
"Bella are you alright?" I heard Edward whisper. I nodded my head shakily.
"Alice, where are we at?" Jasper asked his wife.
"We are in her book." Said Alice tightly.
"What do you mean, 'In her book'?" Jasper questioned.
"She means exactly that." Came Edward's voice.
"But how is that even possible?" Jasper said to his brother. I laughed at his words and all eyed turned to me.
"What is so funny Bella?" Alice asked
"Well 'How is that even possible?' coming from a vampire is pretty funny don't you think?" I said smiling. They all looked at me like I was crazy so I stopped smiling.
"Trouble seems to follow you around is what the problem is." Edward said to me.
"Where do you think we are?" Alice asked. I looked around and realized that we were at Hogwarts. We were on the front lawn right in front of the entryway.
"We are at Hogwarts." I informed them.
"Ok. What should we do then?" Jasper asked
"I say we go and speak to Dumbledore, he is the Headmaster here and he should be able to help us." I suggested.
"You are speaking as if her were a real person Bella." Edward told me
"Of course I am. Alice said that we were in the book and if that is the case then he is a real person, right?" I replied
"Yes I suppose he would be." He answered me.
"Lead the way Bella" Jasper said.
I stepped out of Edward arms and grabbed his hand and started walking towards the school. We were almost to the door when we noticed that Hagrid was speaking to someone in his cabin. The door opened and out stepped a tall old man with a long white beard and half moon glasses perched on his nose. I froze and just watched the old man and the half giant conversing.
"Bells? Are you ok?" Edward asked
"Oi! Jus' 'oo do yeh think yeh are, walkin' on ter th' school like tha'?" I heard Hagrid scream our way.
Immediately, I was pushed behind Edward, and Alice was on my left and Jasper on my right. They were all in attacking position. I heard Dumbledore say something to Hagrid so I looked over Edward's shoulder. I saw them both walking towards us. The old mad was walking calmly and Hagrid had his cross bow and was glaring at us.
"Can I help you?" Dumbledore asked
"Yes you can. We were just on our way to go and see you." I said from behind Edward.
"What can I help you with my dear?" He asked me
"Well I picked up my book and we were all transported here, into my book." I explained to him lamely.
"You mean you touched a port key?" I was asked
"No I mean that this," I looked around, "is a book where I come from and I picked it up and the four of us were engulfed in a tornado of types and we landed here." I explained farther.
"I see. Why don't you accompany me to my office where we can speak more comfortably?" He offered to us.
"Alright." I agreed. He started to walk away and I followed him. Edward and the other two followed me but they hand surrounded me. It felt as though they were a guard and I was a queen or some sort of highly valuable and breakable object. Hagrid was walking beside the professor.
"Are yeh sure they're not some o' his, Headmaster?" Hagrid whispered to the Headmaster. We all heard him anyways.
"Oh yes, Hagrid, I am quite sure." Was the reply he received.
"Right then Headmaster" Hagrid answered.
We all walked into the school and up the stairs and to the gargoyle that guarded the Head's office. We stopped in front of it and waited for Dumbledore to say the password. He did and it was Lemon Drop. The Gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside to allow us entry. The look's on my loved ones faces was priceless. I giggled at them and they all looked at me with shocked faces.
"It's magic" I answered their unspoken question.
We walked into the office and I could not help but smile at it. The picture that I had made in my mind of all the gadgets and knickknacks that cluttered Dumbledore's office did not even come close to the reality of it. Tables with fragile looking legs appeared as if they would collapse any second because of the weight of the do dads piled on top of them. Some tables had leaning towers of shiny magical objects on them. The room itself was like walking into a store too tiny for all its goods.
"Please, do sit down." Dumbledore said motioning to four very comfortable looking chairs that were in front of his massive wooden desk.
I was the first to react and I moved to sit on the left middle chair. Edward was jolted back to reality and sat on the outside left chair. Alice and Jasper sat down in the two right chairs but continued to gawk at all of the shiny objects.
"Lemon Drop?" the old man offered. I grinned and took one.
"Thank you, sir." I replied. He offered some to the other who politely refused.
I glanced at the others and smiled at them. Edward was watching me while making quick glances at Hagrid and Dumbledore. Alice had stopped gawking at the shiny objects and was now starting at Fawkes. Jasper however looked to be in deep concentration about something.
Out of nowhere Edward started to chuckle. Everyone in the room turned to him with a questioning look on their faces. Everyone but Jasper, that is.
"It's not funny" Jasper said in an annoyed voice.
"Of course it was." Edward laughed, his eyes dancing.
"Wha' was funny?" Hagrid gruff voice asked from the corner.
Edward looked at me and I nodded at his unanswered question.
"My brother is under the impression that we will be buried alive under all of the items in this room should there be an earth quake." Edward grinned.
I gave a small gasp and tried to hold in my laughter. Alice smacked Jasper and reached over me and smacked Edward. Dumbledore just started to chuckle.
"No, my dear boy you will not be buried alive because there will be no earth quake." The old man chuckled. "Now then, why are you here?"
The mood in the room changed dramatically. What had been a happy yet nervous mood changed to a somber and more nervous mood. Not to mention we were all very confused and feeling extremely out of place.
