Isabella Lillian Potter
Chapter 4
BPOV
I tried to keep the tears at bay during our flight home, but it was extremely hard. We were flying over Italy when Harry flew his firebolt next to mine and noticed the look on my face.
"Ok Bells. I think now is the time to tell me how you are friends with a vampire." He said with a pointed look.
"He saved my life and I saved his. I'm good friends with his whole coven, although they are more like a family. They only drink animal blood and they are some of the kindest people I know. Even kinder than Mrs Weasly." I said. Harry gave me a stunned look.
"Kinder than Mrs Weasly! How is that possible? She practacly kills you with kindness!" He exclaimed with a laugh. I laughed with him.
"I was shocked too. But they are kind in a not smothering way." I said with a smirk.
"I did notice something about him though." He said with a thoughful look on his face. "He looks like Cedric don't you think."
"He looks nothing like Cedric! Cedric had green eyes and bronze hair! And he has... Gold eyes and... Umm... Ok, I see your point." We laughed for a minute and to be honest, I never noticed the similarities between Cedric and Edward before. I guess that was one of the reasons why I was drawn to him.
We were nearing England now so we became very serious. We flew to the park in front of Grimmuld place, and since it was midnight in Britain, no one was around to see us. We entered our Godfather's house with Hermoine and Ron following. We were alone. I walked around the house for a while and then settled down with the others in the living room. Hermione and I took the sofa's and Harry and Ron made beds out of the blankets and pillows we found on the floor.
About half an hour after we settled down, Ron's loud snores and Hermione's mumbling were the only sounds. I looked at Harry to see he was asleep, so I got up and went out to the garden. I stared up at the stars, wrapping my jacket around me further to block out the cold. Even though it was summer, the nights were still cold.
"Hey." A voice said behind me. I turned around and smiled at my brother as he walked out of the door. I turned back around and looked at the stars once more. "You ok?" He asked.
I nodded, not taking my eyes off of the sky. "Do you think their up there?" I asked I looked at Harry to see his confused face. "Mum, dad and Sirius. Do you think their up there?"
He put his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. "I know they are up there, looking down on us right now. Although you have probably given Dad and Sirius multiple heart attacks, considering you are friends with vampires." He said with a laugh. I joined in before looking back at the stars. It was nice and calming to stand here with my brother and watch the stars. I saw a shooting star and made a wish. I wished for everything to be fine. For this war to end and for Voldemort to die, once and for all.

The next morning, we were in the kitchen discussing how to destroy the cup and find the locket, when there was a noise from the cupboard. Harry opened it and I dragged Kreacher out.
"What are you doing Kreacher?" I asked. He looked hatefully toward the cup.
"How dare you bring that dark magic into this house. Master Regulus would be horrified Kreacher allowed it in here." The house elf mumbled.
"Regulus?" I asked. "As in Sirius' brother?" Kreacher nodded, his huge ears flapping.
"What's he got to do with anything?" Ron asked.
"Regulus Arcturus Black. RAB." I saw their eyes widen at my words. I grabbed the locket that was sticking out of Harry's pocket and showed it to Kreacher. "Have you ever seen this locket?" Kreacher backed away from the locket, only to walk into Ron's legs. "Kreacher." I said in warning.
"Master Regulus told Kreacher to destroy the locket. Kreacher could feel the dark magic the locket possessed. No matter how hard he tried, Kreacher couldn't destroy the locket. Then he came in the night. He took a lot, including the locket." Kreacher said in his low voice.
"Who? Who took the locket?" Harry asked, standing next to me.
"Mundungus Fletcher." Harry and I shared a look.
"Find him." Harry said. Kreacher apperated with a crack. "How did you know?"
"I talked to Sirius about him before I left. He said that Regulus had contacted him not long before his death and talked about getting out. He wanted me to look into it and see what he was up to." I said.
"What did you find out?" Hermione asked.
"Not much. Just that he was killed because they found out he was trying to get out." I replied. Before anyone could say anything else, there was a huge crack and Kreacher appeared on the steps holding onto Mundungus' neck. Around his leg, was a familiar elf. "Dobby? What are you doing here?"
"Isabella Potter! Harry Potter! What an honor to see you again!" Dobby exclaimed. I saw Mundungus move to the door out of the corner of my eye.
"Not so fast!" I said, standing behind him.
"Miss Potter. Good to see you again. Big fan, big fan." He said. "Although I must run. Got a lot to do." He turned to run but found Harry stood in his way.
"Don't move." Harry said with his arms crossed. "You stole some of Sirius' stuff. Didn't you?"
"Well, you know, you've got to make a living." He replied with a sheepish look.
"Then get a job!" I said. "Anyway. Did you take a necklace that looks like this?" I asked, holding up the locket to show him.
"Well, it may have been in my possesion. But I sold it. To a ministry woman." He said, looking between Harry and I.
"Who did you sell it to?" I asked with my hands on my hips.
"I don't know. Didn't exactly ask for a name." He said with a shrug. I was starting to get impatiant.
"Hey Ron, do you remember that spell that made you puke slugs?" I asked.
"Oh yeah." He said pulling his wand out. Mundungus started backing away. "It was something like..."
"Her! It was her!" He yelled, grabbing todays Prophit and showing us the front cover. "She's the one that brought it!"
"You have got to be kidding me." Harry said. On the front of the paper, was the pink toad known only as Umbridge.
"I have always wanted to give her a good punch." I said with a smirk. Hermione just shook her head at me.
"Get out of here." Harry said to Mundungus. He left quicker than you could say Quidditch.
"What do we do? You guys are on wanted posters all over! You can't exactly just walk in and ask her for the locket." Ron said as we sat down.
"No. But we can go in a take it from her." I said with a look at Harry. Our twin talepathy let me know that we were both thinking the same thing.
"How? You'll be arrested." Hermione said.
"We go in disguise." Harry said.
"Oh no." Hermione gasped. "You two have those matching grins again. Please tell me this plan isn't going to get us killed."
"No promises." I said, my grin getting bigger.
Heres the next chapter. I know I am going kinda fast, but I need to. Let me know if you want Edward to stay in Forks or go to Hogwarts for the final battle. I don't know which to do :/
