Chapter 1: Remembering the Past
Disclamier: I do not own any of the characters in this story except for Isabella Marie Swaton. All of the other characters belong to J.K. Rowling.
Intro: I think I should let you know who I am before I let you into my life. My name is Isabella Marie Swaton. Also known as Bella to my best friends: Oliver Wood, Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, Fred and George Weasley and my family. I am about 5' 6" tall, and I have dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes. You could call me fit, considering that I help Oliver Wood stay in shape over the summer. As you get into my life even more, you'll learn a lot more about me as well. Oh, one important thing, even though I live in Scotland I do not have a Scottish accent.
Start of Story:
It was one of those rare August nights where it's breezy and after it rains instead of being all muggy and sticky. I'm sitting on my window sill in my room looking out my window at my neighbor's house. While I was scanning their garden I came across the spot where everything started. The sandbox where I first met my best friend.
It was a week before my third birthday and I and my mom were going though our neighborhood inviting people to my birthday party. Now we were at the final house, by then my mom already started carrying me because I became tired of walking. She rang the door bell and a couple of seconds later it opened and a lady with brown hair opened the door for us.
"Hi, how may I help you?" She asked my mom
"Hi," my mom said, "Were the Swatons from across the street."
"Oh, I remember, we met at Molly's house didn't we?" She asked
"Yes, yes we did, at Molly Weasley's house right?" my mom asked
"Yes, my name is Sandra Wood, I'm sorry but I think I've forgotten your name." She said
"Oh sorry, I'm Catherine, and this is my daughter Isabella." My mom said
"Isn't she beautiful, oh come in, come in." Mrs. Wood said welcoming us into their house.
"I'm so glad that there's another wizarding family in this neighborhood, thought it was just us." my mom said, "by the way you have a lovely home."
"Thank you." Just then a little boy came screaming into the family room
"Mama, daddy's scary." He said hugging his mom from behind.
"Oh Oliver, sorry he gets scared when my husband appartes home." Mrs. Wood said hugging her son.
"Don't worry, Isabella does that as well." Then the two ladies started laughing at us.
"Oliver, this is Isabella." Oliver's mom introduced him to me.
"Bella," Oliver said
"Aw, he can't say her full name, its really cute, Bella. Think i might call her that my self." My mom said.
"Bella." Oliver said coming up to me and he took my hand and led me outside.
"Isn't that adorable." Oliver's mom said.
"Sure is." My mom replied.
From then on we've been really close friends, we've been through everything together, same house at Hogwarts, same schedule all 6 years so far, and we used to hang out every summer until this year, when he had to go of to quidditch camp, which means he won't be here for my birthday and he'll get a mouth full from me when he gets back for sure.
By now it was almost midnight so I decided to go to bed so I could maybe just maybe enjoy tomorrow which is my birthday. When I fell asleep it was one of those dreamless nights that I actually felt relaxed. In the morning when the light started coming through my window I turned onto my side and saw that it was about 9:00, shocking, mom didn't wake me up yet, I thought to my self. Just then I heard the door creek open, guessing that it was my mom I didn't bother to look so I closed my eyes again but then the person spoke.
"Bella." The mystery person said.
