17# Fifth year... at Durmstrang

*two years later*

Today, it's been two years since I started Durmstrang Institute here in Scandinavia. And it's also been two years since I left my best friends. The love of my life. My family. I really miss them, but what I did was for the best, I wanted to keep them safe.

I also changed a lot. Not just mentally but also physically. I cut my hair like a little under the shoulder, I also started wearing more edgy clothing, like dark academia style. I didn't have any body issues now. I didn't have the perfect body; I had a curvy shaped body, thick tights and kinda of small breasts. But now I was happy with what I had, I learned to like myslef.

My mindset changed for complete. I was a lot more confident and anyone that crossed me could get that. I also got more ambitiuous, being the top student made me more strategic and of course, a lot smarter. I was a lot more skilled in Dark Magic, Lupin would be so proud of me.

"Hey dummy, Igor wants to talk to you." "Going, Vik!" I also made a lot of new friends, but they could never replace the OG ones. Viktor was my best friend at Durmstrang, he was a very sweet person, as strange as it may seem.

"Miss Potter, we need to talk." "Yes Headmaster?" I sat on the chair in front of his desk. "During this two years you revealed to be a really strong person, after all you passed." "Thanks Headmaster." "And as much as it costs me to say this, I think you're finally ready to go back to Hogwarts."

"You think?" "I'm sure you are." I nodded. "I'm also sure you miss your friends and family a lot, but don't worry. We've been updating your Godfathers of your progress everyday." I smiled. "We'll leave next week, for the Triwizard Tournament." "Wasn't that supossed to be last year?" 

Igor nodded. "Yes Miss Potter, but it was postponed for this year, due to school problems." "Oh I see. So, that means that after the Tournament, I'll stay in Hogwarts?" "Yes. You may go now." I left and went straight to Vik.

"Vik! You won't believe what Igor told me!" Now he was curious. "What?" "He said I was ready, you know, to go to Hogwarts again." He seemed sad. "When?" "Next week." "Then we have a lot to do until you left!"

I laughed. "Like?" "First, practice your grand entrance into the great hall. You have to slay, queen!" "What if they don't want to see me?" He laughed. "Honestly Bella, you're my best friend, so I can clearly see that when you say THEY you mean HE. And by he I mean Ron." 

"Damn, I forgot I told you the whole story." "Yes you did, and that's why I will help you. I'm sure he still likes you, so you have got to make THE entrance. Got it?" "Got it! But how?" He activated his fashion designer mode.

"We have got to go Koldovstoretz to buy clothes. Then I can do your makeup and hair. I'm really good at it beacuse I have a 12 year old sister. " "Cool! Do you think a red and black dress would be good?" "It's perfect! Not just because it represents our school main colors but also, you were a Gryffindor right?"

 "Yeah, I miss hanging out with Fred and George in the common room, or studying with Hermione on the library. At night, past curfew, me and Ron used to go to the kitchen eat snacks.  It was awsome!"

"I can see you really miss them Bella. But now the main thing is the entrance." "You're right. So what's next?" "Next is the confidence. You already have a lot, but you need to convey that confidence to other people, Hogwarts people. I know you will be very nervous, so we need to work on that."

"So, how do I look?" I was mesmerized. I  was in love with her since she got here, but I would never tell her that. I knew she was in love with Ron, and as her best friend I would never try to ruin that. "You look... amazing girl!" She blushes. "Thanks Vik! Do you think Ron will like it?" It was such a pain to hear that.

"Of couse he will! I'm sure he still feels the same way as you." She fakes a smile. "I hope so Vik, he knows I only moved here to protect him."As soon as I see she is getting sad,I try to change the subject. "Talking about protecting, did you know We-know-Who tried to attack Hogwarts last year?" "Voldemort? I've never heard of him since me and the rest of the Golden Quartet closed the Chamber of Secrets!" I hit her arm. "Ouch! What? I'm not afraid of him, saying his name or not, he will try to kill me anyways."

"You're right Bella." "I already told you to treat me by my middle name while we're at Durmstrang." "Sure Miss Jane." "Thanks Vik, my first name carries a lot of history, and no one needs to know who I really am, for them i'm just Jane Black." I completely understood her. "Jane Black is actually a very cool name!"

[BELLA'S POV]

It was finally the day of going back to Hogwarts, to my home. "I'm so excited Vik! Seeing my family and friends again, it's so good after all these years!" I was really happy for seeing my friends. "I know, can I finally call you by your first name now? " "Yeah, it's my name after all, isn't it?" He smiled. "Ready Bella?" We looked at eachother. "Ready Vik. Hogwarts, ready or not, here I come! "
