hh_mirror | Alice Cullen (Twilight Series)

[[Approved by Edward-mun!]]

Alice Cullen was not ordinary in any sense of the word. She had short, black hair that would make any normal girl snicker. She was very small and pixie-like, and graceful in her movements, which would make any dancer green with envy. She had a family of very attractive ladies and gentlemen that made every normal person turn their heads to stare. Oh, and she was a vampire who had visions of the future from time to time. That, too.

Carlisle had sent her to look for Edward. After the family left Forks, he had disappeared to God-knows-where. Carlisle was the first one to hear the news about Edward living at Hogwarts, and immediately sent a very worried Alice to join him there. And the next morning, Alice Cullen arrived at Hogwarts to enroll herself.

She entered the Sorting Room at a brisk pace. She nearly sprinted across the room until she came upon the familiar three-legged stool that had a sheet of parchment and a quill on top. She picked up the sheet and scanned it quickly.

What kind of school asks you questions like these to get in?

She shrugged and scooped up the quill, eager to get these questions over with so she could find her brother

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Cheese? It's been a long time since I've had cheese... I don't even remember what my favorite was. But the natural holes in Swiss cheese are simply fascinating!

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
I don't kill people, so it looks like Barney will have to do. He looks very unappetizing, though. That ghastly purple color...

3. What time is it where you are?
I'm not sure. I don't own a watch. I guess it might be around noon.

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
How peculiar... I'm married. I have no desire to harass anyone like that.

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
Hm. Bars are fascinating places. Humans go in and completely lose all sense of what's going on, and then say it was fun. Like this one bar in Port Angeles, The Red Sun. I've watched it before, and it's hilarious to watch humans come in and out as totally different people.

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
Whomever his little heart chooses. Marriage isn't about mythology... often.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.
Oh, I know what you mean. Well, my suggestion is that you throw away everything and start from scratch. Now you have no papers on your desk, and all is well in the world!

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
I am most certainly not useless! I have visions of the future on some occasions, always helpful. And I'm not too bad at sketching and simple art like that. Not to mention speed, strength, and extremely heightened senses. Now take back the part about me being useless.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.
I have money, if that's what you want. And little trinkets, artifacts that I've picked up on my travels. They're yours if you want them.

I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. ____AC________
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them._____AC______.
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. _____AC______.

"Leave it, Alice," said Edward in a tired voice. "I won't return. I owe it to Bella, to not return."

Let her have a normal life, like she deserved. It had of course entered Edward's mind that Bella might not be taking their seperation very well either, but not for a moment he thought that she could possibly be feeling as unhappy about it as he was himself. Because no one could agonise over this quite as much as he did, as he was the one who had to keep away.

"I'm voting you into Hufflepuff," he said, to change the subject. "I think you would like it there."

Alice nodded, "Thanks, Edward. We'll have to catch up on everything later," she said, nodding in the direction of the other people in the room, "Don't want to give everything away, do we?"

He nodded. "Certainly we do. You can send messages by House-elf here. They are quite friendly."

Much better than owls. Owls tended to stay far away from Edward. House-elves were uneasy around the vampire as well, but at least they didn't try and run away.

"You can always send me one after you've been Sorted." Perhaps they could go hunting together.

Alice was thinking along the same lines, "What animals have you seen here?" she asked in a quiet tone.

"Owls," said Edward. Granted, they were too small to be hunted by vampires, but since they were predators he mentioned them anyway. "There are large spiders in the forest, as well as..." He paused, looking amused for the first time in ages. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Of course I would," replied Alice, "You're no liar."

"Centaurs," he smiled. "And unicorns."

He had not been able to get very close to the latter, since they appeared to smell him and took off as soon as they did so, but what he had seen was simply breathtaking. Bella would love to see them... No. Stop it. He had to stop thinking about the things about this place that Bella would love, or he'd go mad.

Alice's eyes grew large, "Really? Well, we should go into the forest after this sorting business is through. I'd love to see them," she grinned.

Edward nodded. "We will. The unicorns are worth a look."

It'd be good for him, interracting with people. Especially Alice, who understood more than his other siblings, he felt. He was glad that she was here.

Alice was still lost in excitement, "Are they like the myths say? What color are they? How close did you get?"

"Quite close. They're fast, but not as fast as I am." Edward was quite pleased about that. "They're very beautiful. I saw a couple of foals that were a pale golden colour, but they appear to become more and more white as they get older." He smiled. "They appear to be... pretty much as the myths say, yes. I have been intending to find a book or two about them, but somehow I do not ever get around to it."

Mostly because he got distracted by the aching hole of longing in his chest.

Alice let out a long whistle of surprise, "I thought they were just a myth. Well, we'll have to see them once I get out of here."

Alice felt much better here with her brother. He was safe, she was with him, and she could now start hounding him to find a way back to Bella. She wanted to slap him for leaving her, but it wouldn't really be of any use. She thought maybe he would change his mind eventually.

Edward was in some ways quite thick-headed. He was very much convinced that he was doing the right thing and that Bella was better off this way. And some day, she might even be thankful that he left, so that she could focus on living a normal life. He could not imagine that Bella would do anything... stupid.

"We will. I suppose I shall see you around then, Alice." He gave his sister a nod. "It is nice to have you here."

Alice nodded and embraced her brother once more before saying, "I'm so glad I found you," very quietly.
