I wish to remain here with you and my friends. Please father. Please father do not send me away. As time went on Edward's father Carlisle Cullen became very worried that Edward would end up the way of so many other children or men who were found to have Magi powers and then killed because of it. In order to help his son control his Magi abilities he went about finding solutions that would save his son. In a lucky meeting Timone Swift met Carlisle Cullen and together they decided to send their children to Hogwarts where they could learn for a time how to control their powers before they returned home again. Carlisle sent a letter to Hogwarts asking them if they would accept his son along with Hilary Swift from House Swift, and then he kept silent as he waited weeks for the letter to return. When the letter did return he silently sent word to his friend Timone, and then went to find Edward, and when he wasn't at home he immediatly knew he would be wherever his best friends were, and he was proven right when he found Edward hanging out with William, Jasper, Emmett, and Alice. When Edward, and the group saw him coming they knew that something was wrong by how emotional the usually reserved Carlisle appeared. Carlisle tried to get Edward to come with him so he could explain to him in private but he refused to leave his friends and thus in front of his best friends he was told that he would be leaving for Hogwarts. To say the group took it badly was an understatement with William nearly attacking Carlisle for betraying his best friend, the situation only calmed down when Carlisle left the group with the grenade that he had just thrown in their mists, and the knowledge that he would be leaving in a week.

Leaving


Edward now having said goodbye to his bestfriends, the love of his life and the entire House Cullen he boarded the wagon and headed towards Brill where he was told he would be picking up Hilary Swift who would be coming with him. When Hilary saw the wagon arrive that was going to take her to Hogwarts she cried and begged her family to not send her away, but her parents again tried to explain to her that if she didn't leave then there enemies were going to have her executed. Hilary was still distraught but as she cried on the front yard of their estate she felt a hand on her shoulder, and when she turned around she saw a young boy similar age to her. The boy kneeled down to her level and whispered to her the words that would carry her while she was away.

"You and I don't have the easiest of lives. But niether do our families. We have to do this for them. I don't know you, and you don't know me but take my hand and let's do everything we can to make sure we do our families proud."

-Edward Cullen

Taking his hand she followed Edward onto the wagon, and while her family went inside crying but still believing that she may have just found her future husband the two of them spent the weeks of riding the wagon and stopping in towns talking, and getting to know eachother. The two of them became closer then any relationship that Hilary had ever had, and she rivaled his love for his best friends, and his Tanya back in Lucerne. When they arrived in Hogwarts they were greeted by the awaiting members of the upper leadership of Hogwarts, who saw in these young children both the chance to teach but also to create a relationship with two powerful houses inside the Kingdom of Lucerne.

You and I don't have the easiest of lives. But neither do our families. We have to do this for them. I don't know you, and you don't know me but take my hand and let's do everything we can to make sure we do our families proud.



Arrival
As the two got started in their first year they were both sorted into the Ravenclaw house, and because of this they continued to remain the best of friends, and went so far in making sure that all of the classes they had were the same. Edward and Hilary were very close, and for Edward this allowed him to be around someone that he truly enjoyed as opposed to the endless girls that threw themselves at him in the hopes of getting to have sex with the foreign prince that was so handsome. This led to gossip throughout their house that the two were lovers and this caused many of the girls of Ravenclaw to turn against Hilary as many had their eyes on Edward. Edward was completely blind to these attacks, and instead of going to him Hilary decided to protect him from the attacks by simply pretending that they were in a relationship for months so that he could escape the constant badgering that she knew he hated.



Dangers
"I was at a crossroads in my time there. On one hand I was learning great knowledge that I knew would allow me to help my friends in Lucerne better. I was getting to spend quality time with Hilary in a way that I would never be able to again. But on the other hand there was a growing death count following this school like a plague."

-Edward Cullen

As the year came to a close the two begin to discover that Hogwarts may not be as safe as they had believed when a Basilisk ran rampant throughout Hogwarts and led to the deaths of several students before it was finally killed by Harry Potter. This event was utterly shocking to the members of Hogwarts but it was followed by violent attacks on several villages in the Hogwarts region which just went to highlight how dangerous the region had become. They decided not to scare their parents so they left this out of the letters that they sent to their families, and friends.
