Hey guys! This is Colleen, but my name will be 'Alice' for this story. This is a Harry Potter and Twilight crossover and i wrote this chapter! Kali, also known as 'Esme', will be writing the next chapter! I hope you like it!

"Take care of yourself," he breathed, cool against my skin.

There was a light, unnatural breeze. My eyes flashed open. The leaves on a small vine maple shuddered with the gentle wind of his passage.

He was gone.

Instead of following him like I normally would have done, I walked back to the house to find Charlie pulling into the drive way.

"Hey Bells." Charlie said, getting out of his car.

"Hey Charlie." I say, walking slowly up the steps to the front door.

I slowly opened the door, stepping into the house I had called "home" for the past year. I walk up the stairs to my room to start packing, knowing I probably wouldn't be coming back in a while. Knowing I might not come back at all.

About an hour later, there was a knock on my door and I turned around to see Jacob standing in my doorway.

"Hey Jacob." I said.

"Hey Bella. Whatcha doing?" he asked, coming over to watch me.

"What does it look like? I'm packing." I say.

"Where are you going?" he asks, concern written all over his face.

"Home."

"Back to Phoenix?"

"No," I say, turning to look at him. "I'm going home to London."

"But I thought this was your home. Or Phoenix."

"I thought this was my home," I say. "But it doesn't feel like home anymore. And I did live in Phoenix for a while, but it just wasn't right. My real home is in London, where all my friends are waiting for me." I finish, getting my owl cage down from the shelf in my closet.

"London? But you don't have an accent! You don't even sound British! I mean, did you really live there your whole life? And what's with the cage? I wasn't aware you had a pet." Jacob says, fuming.

"Jacob, you just wouldn't understand." I say, shaking my head, slowly.

"I wouldn't understand? What wouldn't I understand? I'm a freakin werewolf for God's sake!"

I turn to look at him. His fists are clenched and his knuckles are turning white, his face contorted in rage.

After a minute, he slowly shakes his head and unclenches his fists. The expression on his face turns into an angry sadness.

"See ya Bells." He whispers as he turns around and walks out the door.

I slowly turn around and open the window.

I sit down on my bed, and that's when I break down, crying myself to sleep.

Pop!

I jump, alertness coming to me in a rush. I look around the room to see my owl at the head of my bed and two red-haired boys standing in front of my bedroom door.

"Fred? George? What are you guys doing here?" I exclaim. I jump out of bed to go hug them.

"We came to get you. We're taking you home." Fred says, smiling.

"Yeah, we had to weasel the answer out of Dumbledore about where you were living right now." George says, sitting on my bed.

"Oh, wow. I wonder how you did that. Maybe a little of veritaserum?" I say. Then I look at their faces. "Oh you naughty weasels! You're gonna get in so much trouble!"

And then my best friends and I burst out laughing. That's how we are. We steal things, lie, get in trouble, and manage our way out of things. No matter what we do, we manage to gout out of the serious trouble we should be in.

"So how are you getting out of it this time?" I ask.

"Hmmm…maybe a little running away." Fred says.

"To where?" I ask, my eyebrows raised.

"Ummm…here." George says.

Then we burst out laughing, again.

After talking and hanging out for a while, I realize something.

"Hey guys…how did you get here by magic if you're underage? I ask, looking at them suspiciously.

"They moved the age down a year, so technically, we're allowed to use magic out of school right now." Fred says.

"Yes!" I exclaim.

"But we still have to take seven years of school at Hogwarts. George finishes.

"Oh. Well that's okay. It means another year of pranks!" I say.

Finally! I'm back on the Hogwarts grounds, ready to catch up on what I've missed and ready to learn more.

It's only the first day back for me and I've already seen most of my old friends. Oh, and I've beat up a few of my enemies already too. I got two weeks of detention for that, but oh well!

Walking into the Gryffindor common room, I see my second favorite trio. (The first being me, Fred, and George.)

"Hey Harry! Hey Ron! Hey Hermione!" I say.

"Bella!" They all shout in unison.

What in the bloody hell are you doing here?" Ron asks. "I thought you weren't going to be back for another half a year!"

"I came back early." I say, smiling. "Forks wasn't working out for me like I thought it would. Wait, I told you about Forks, right?"

"Yes." They reply in unison.

"Okay, good! 'Cause I didn't want to explain it all." I say.

"Bella!" says a voice to my left.

I look over and see an awkward boy sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace looking at me.

"Neville Longbottom! I haven't seen you in forever!" I say, running to give him a hug.

"Hey wait a second!" Harry says. "Where's our hugs?"

"Oh! Sorry guys!" I say, walking back over to them. "Okay, if you want a hug, it's two galleons each."

"Hey!" They exclaim in unison.

"Joking! I yell, giving them each a free hug. "But I will charge you if you want an extra hug. I give everyone one free hug a day, unless they're having a really crappy day, then they get as many free hugs as they'd like."

The trio looks at each other.

"Please tell me you're joking." Hermione says, an incredulous expression on her face.

"Oh course I am! Why wouldn't I be joking?" I say, laughing. "But seriously. I need some money."

I look at Harry.

"Whoa, hey! I'm not giving you any money!" He says, backing away.

"Oh, well. It was worth a try." I say, smiling.

Potions. Oh, Professor Snape. What would I do without you.

During the middle of our lesson, while we're supposed to be perfecting a calming draught, Snape is going around and criticizing our potions as we're finishing up. In the middle of the room, there is a huge explosion and everything fades to black.

Opening my eyes, I see Madam Pomfrey above me and someone I hadn't seen in a while.

Ooo! Cliffhanger! For whatever reason, i'm really good at writing cliffhangers. Which reminds me of the stories on my own fanfiction account that i need to finish! :O Whoops! Hopefully i'll try to add chapters to them! If you want to know my own fanfiction acount, just tell me/us! Please review! Flamese are welcome!
