I sat in the kitchen of the Cullen mansion. It was about noon and summer was almost over. I had decided since Esme has a beautiful garden that nobody except a human could eat. I had gone out with Esme and picked some of the lettuce, bell peppers, an onion, radish, and some cucumbers. I washed all of the veggies and walked into to the kitchen and grabbed a knife and cutting board. I washed all of the vegetables and showed Esme how I liked my salads, since she insisted that since I "fixed" Edward. Whatever that meant. I grabbed the bowl that Esme and I prepared and started walking up to the living room. Halfway across the kitchen my bracelet that was really a fake Galleon, that all of the D.A, or Dumbledore's Army used to communicate. I dropped my bowl unconsciously and grabbed my bracelet. I must have voiced my thoughts aloud because I said,
" Dammit! Why can't I get some peace from the stupid wizarding world and the fact that Voldemort is trying to take over and doesn't give a damn about all of the people he's killed? I took out my wand ready to Apparate hoping that nobody saw me or heard anything I said but of course, I was wrong. While everyone gathered into the room, I took the opportunity to read my Galleon. It said,
" Tonks is coming in 10-15 minutes. Get all of your stuff together. If you found anyone that can help in this war bring them. You'll be Apparating. Meet us at the Headquarters. Harry. xoxo"
If Harry called an emergency meeting something is either wrong or he found a way to block Unforgivables. He had been staying at Privet Drive with Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt constantly watching over him so he didn't get himself killed or use unpermitted magic. An owl flew to the window and tapped it's foot on the glass. I opened the window with my wand figuring they've already seen some stuff why not more. The owl flew over to me and stuck its foot out. It looked vaguely familiar. Then I realised where I had seen it. It was Hedwig, Harry's owl. There was a small piece of parchment. Just to be on the safe side, I looked at the vampires and said,
" Stay back. This could be a trap and blow up. No reason to worry. If it does I can repair the damage faster than you could." They looked amazed at my confidence being I had to act as I used to be. It also could have been the fact my accent was slipping back into what I say. I took my wand and said,
" Wingardium Leviosa!" Using the simple levitation spell I took the letter off of the owl's leg. I set it down on the kitchen table and it exploded. I set a shield around all of us and the rest of the kitchen so where it exploded at was the only place with damage. With a flick of my wand I said,
" Reparo." The table and floor automatically repaired itself and even Rosalie looked amazed. I looked around and realised a portion of the floor hadn't repaired itself.
I used a digging spell and saw a slip of parchment. Using another spell to tell if anyone was around except the vampires, and it showed there was nobody. Knowing there was nobody and figuring how much deeper should I dig my own grave I dropped my Occlumency shield. Edward looked amazed and came over to hug me. I held up a finger and he looked puzzled. I took a deep breath and said,
" I'll understand if you all don't want me anymore for lying. If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to go to the loo, and then leave." I walked out of the room and up towards the loo when I thought, well since they know now I can Apparate. Edward wouldn't know what I'm talking about since until a few minutes ago he didn't even know I was a wizard. Well, witch. I absolutely hate technicalities so whatever. I turned on the spot and imagined the bathroom on the third floor in Edwards room. I felt the familiar sensation of my whole body being compressed just like an American car in those what-are-they-called? Oh, yes junk yards. I arrived in the bathroom quicker than Edward could make it up two flights of stairs running at his full speed. I used the loo then changed my appearance to what I really look like. My hair doesn't change much except for the fact that there are more red highlights in it. The only difference in my eyes is that they are a shocking green just like Carlisle had described Edwards. I looked at myself in the mirror and looked at the scar on my stomach.
As a metamorphmagus, I can change my appearance at will. My scar I only got rid of when we went swimming and I used a bikini. I made my eyes change from green to red to gold to brown and back to green. I changed my hair lengths and colors using rainbow colors and any and everything to make myself look weird. I figured since this would probably be the last time I am in Forks or even alive as the war must be escalating really fast. I thought about how Ginny and Harry fancied each other but neither were courageous enough to really even talk to each other until I told Ginny that Harry liked her and that if she were to not so subtly kiss him once they win at the Quidditch Finals they would probably be dating by the end of the month.
Flashback
Ginny and I were walking around just talking about random nothings until she suddenly asked,
" Bells, do you honestly think that Harry likes me? I mean I'm me, boring, plain, and not at all pretty. He's-he's Harry bloody Potter! The-Boy-Who-Lived-"
" Ginny, Shut up! I already asked him if he likes you to be the amazing friend I am and he said and I quote:
' Ginny? Yes I like her. Honestly, Bellsy, I think I love her, but everytime I go to tell her she's either with someone or I can't say it so I change the subject.'
So then I said, ' Harry, Ginny likes you too. She's been trying to make you see that you like her. Just tell her.'
" So then he said ok and now, when we win the Quidditch Finals you should kiss- no- not kiss full on snog him. Have fun and enjoy yourself." She nodded her head and walked down the corridor towards the Common Room. I had promised Hermione I would study with her tonight since Quidditch was tomorrow, so once we won a party would go on all night so nobody would get any sleep.
I walked off to the library ready to study even if it didn't help and I failed my N.E.W.T.S. Even though in the end I passed all of my classes with Outstandings.
End Flashback
I walked out of the bathroom after changing my appearance back to my chocolate brown hair and eyes that I had always dreamed of. I thought about all of the different types of eyes and hair combinations that I'd always dreamed of having. Like, purple eyes and blonde hair with pink and green tips. Or brown hair and stormy grey eyes. Maybe black hair and gold eyes to freak out the vampires. Or red hair and red eyes to scare the the vampires.
I Apparated down the stairs to the front door and said,
"Oh I almost forgot I need to read that parchment." I apparated back to where I had stopped the repair so I could look around. Using some of the cursebreaker spells Bill, the eldest Weasley of the seven, taught me. I couldn't see any special spells and couldn't trace a magical trail so I walked to where the hole was. I opened a piece of parchment that was in the hole and it said,
Dear Isabella Marie-Lynn Potter,
My name is Regulus Black. I am Sirius' brother. We are loosely related to Billy Black on the reservation. Enclosed in the envelope below is the last Horcrux your friend Harry Potter needs to beat the Dark Lord. A Horcrux is an object used after you kill someone to keep a part of your soul. Its complicated and very disgusting. That's how Lord Voldemort is immortal. You need to use the vampire venom to destroy it. Since you're probably wondering how I know all of this since I'm dead now...
Just like your vampire Alice, I see the future. A few on your part of the war will fight and die. Most will live and although from the stress of the war, not completely become themselves again, your side will prevail.
The Dark Lords side will be demolished. Not many will survive thanks to your boyfriend Edward. You will get a cut on the side of your leg up to your hip and he will fly into a rage. Many of their side will cower as they see Edward snarling because they hurt you. They may or may not surrender. That part is unclear to me.
Good Luck,
Regulus
P.S Tell Alice to clear her mind of all thoughts then focus on the future and she will be able to see everything. That's how I do this everyday. Good Luck!"
I smiled at Regulus' sentiment coming down here just to help me. I used my wand to pick up the Horcrux and walked over to where the vampires were standing carefully watching me as if they were scared of me. I looked at them and said,
" You know I'm not going to hurt you right? Tonks should be here to pick me up. I need to get all of my stuff and Obliviate Charlie. I was happy to get to know you guys. If you're ever in trouble or need me in anyway, I'll set up three Portkeys so you can come see me. I'll miss this place."
I chose three random items and put them on the fireplace. I pointed my wand at them and said,
" Portus."
They all glowed bright blue and then the color died down. With that, I walked out the door and out into the yard. As I spun, getting ready to Apparate I heard fifteen simultaneous pops. Meaning, either the Order was here or fifteen Death Eaters were here to kill me.
