Chapter 3:
(Isabella's POV)
Flash "You'd better go quick..." said the boy, the man nodded, got on on top of what looked like a huge bird, and flew away. Flash "Noooo!" there was the same boy sitting on the the floor crying, there were people all around him, they all had sad faces and were all looking at a hole in the wall, that had a veil covering part of it...Flash
"Isabella, are you alright?"
I quickly sat up and I realized that I must have been crying in my sleep again because my face was wet. I looked up and saw Sirius sitting on the edge of my bed. "Lily sent me up here to wake you, she said you need to go see Dumbledore now...Are you alright? I thought I heard you yelling when I enetered the room"
"I'm alright, thanks for waking me up.."
As he was walking out, he mumbled, "Oh yea, I'm sorry if I upset you earlier..."
"It's alright, I'm all over it now.." He smiled brightly at me and continued down the stairs.
James, Lily, and I were sitting in Dumbledore's office a little while later waiting for Dumbledore to arrive, when Lily whispered in my ear, "Izzy, Sirius told me that you looked upset when he came to wake you earlier..did you have another dream? Do you want to talk about it?" Oh Lily, if only I could tell you...I must talk to Dumbledore first...
"I'm fine.." I said.
A few moments later, Dumbledore arrived with a boy that looked about our age. He was rather tall as well.. I wonder who that is...from the look on James' face, he must not like him very much...I'll have to ask him about it later...
"Lily, James...I have some news about your headboy and girl positions..." I looked over at James' and Lily's faces...they were as confused as I was it seemed... "I've decided that this year we will have two new..'Understudy headgirl and boy' you see, I was thinking that Isabella needs to stay with you Lily, if that is alright..."
I saw Lily nod out of the corner of my eye, she smiled brightly at me.
"James' i'm sure you know Amos Diggory from Hufflepuff..he will be your 'helper' if you will.." James' looked as if he were about to burst, his face was all red, I could tell from just looking at his expression that he was not happy about this situation
"Dumbledore..I refuse to work with..HIM!" James said, Lily suddenly gave James' a very dissapointed look, and whispered something into his ear, and he shut up.
"Do you all agree to this?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes.." we all chorused.
As we were all leavng his office, I remembered I had wanted to talk to him.
"Uncle, may I speak to you for a moment please?" He ushered me back into his office and the tears began to stream down my face.
"Uncle, I've been having these dreams lately...I see dead people, and I don't get a lot of sleep...I don't want to burden anyone with my dreams...and I was hoping maybe you could help me.."
"Why didn't you come to me sooner..Isabella, sit down, stop crying, I'll explain what is happening to you as well as I can.."
For the next hour he explained to me that my "special" powers were now surfacing. I was a 'special' seer. I could see visions of the past, present, and future. However, one could not tell if they were true or not. Another power he said would be surfacing soon would be wandless magic. I could do wandless magic to some extent, like perform small spells..at least until I mastered it.
"Well..is there anything I can do to prevent the dreams from occuring?" I asked.
He said, "Well, they will never go away..but you can take some dreamless sleep potion..you will still have the visions, but at the same time, you will be able to sleep."
"Alright, I guess..may I talk to Lily about some of my dreams?"
"I suppose, but you need to be weary whom you tell them too, because you must realize that if Voldemort ever found out of your powers..he'd be after you..so please, be careful!"
"Thanks Uncle!" I said and started to get up, and he reminded me, "The sorting is going to begin in 5 minutes, so you'd better go get ready!"
As Lily and I were walking down into the great hall, Dumbledore motioned me over to him. He was standing by a group of children that looked no older than 12.
He said, "Stay with them until you hear your name called.."
"Alright..." I whispered back to him.
As were we walking into the 'great hall' I saw Lily, and the 'group' waving at me, I smiled back at them. I felt everyone staring at me. Especially two boys, one who had blonde hair, and was standing next to the other one that looked like he had greasy hair. I felt a sudden chill run down my spine. Something about the blonde one made me shiver with fear.
"Dumbledore, Isabella"..I heard everyone gasp, I looked up to see who had called my name when I saw a lady standing by a hat, motioning me to come to her. Everyone was staring at me as sat down on the stool, the lady placed he hat on my head, and I heard a voice in my head saying, 'Ahhhh Dumbledore's niece, I thought I was never going to meet you...l'm very sorry about your parents, they were very nice people...Hmmm, Let's see now your very brave, you have your fathers' stubborness and your mothers' smarts..I think you would do well in Ravenclaw..No? you say..well, how about GRYFFINDOR! I glanced up at my uncle, and he smiled at me, I ran over toward the Gryffindor table and sat down and watched while all the other students got sorted. I was very happy that I was in Gryffindor with my friends.
Dumbledore stood up, and said "Hello everyone, welcome back to another year at Hogwarts! I have an annoucement to make. Will Isabella Dumbledore and Amos Diggory please come up here.." I smiled at Lily and walked up and stood next to Amos.
"Isabella and Amos will help our head boy and head girl his year...I have decided to throw a christmas dance, and I think they could use a bit extra help." Everyone stood up and applauded us. Amos looked at me and winked, and then walked back toward his table. As I was walking back toward the table, I saw Lily and the others whispering to eachother, the moment I approached, they had stopped whispering. For some reason, I got greatly upset at this..I felt like I had lost control over my emotions. The tables began to shake, the students started panicing. I fell on the ground and held my head, I kept hearing everyone's voices in my head..like,
"That girl is very strange.." and
"Why is she here..". I felt like I was about to faint, when I someone picked me up. I glanced up and saw Sirius. Then, my world went black...
I heard the words 'Eneverate' and I opened my eyes and felt someone holding my arm. I glanced over and saw Sirius, and Dumbledore standing over me. "Isabella, are you alright?"
"What happened? Did i faint again?" I asked.
"Isabella, I think you just need to rest..this is nothing your mom didn't go through..don't worry about it.." Then he whispered in my ear, "We will start your training tomorrow to my office around 6:00" he said. "Sirius, can you please take Ms. Dumbledore to the tower for me..Isabella, you will be moved into the HeadGirl tower as soon as I can prepare another room."
"That's fine uncle" I said as Sirius and I were leaving.
"Isabella, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, I guess.."
"What happened to you in the great hall today?" Oh crap..what do I say..Ummm..think fast.. "I just had a headache I guess..Why?"
"Well..it looked like you were in pain, and you were covering your ears..and.."
"Can you keep a sercret?"
"Yes."
"Alright, well..I have some magical powers..I can see visions..and I will eventually be bale to do wandless magic..I'm only telling you this because I have to tell someone, and I don't want to burden Lily with my problems.." The rest of the time, we walked in silence. When we arrived in the common room, I said goodnight to Sirius and headed up stairs.
I didn't feel tired anymore so I decided to head downstairs to the common room to read a book by the fire. As I was reading, I heard some noises coming from outside. I ran to the window and saw something moving outside. I heard a creek, I spun around and saw nothing though. I whispered 'Revealo' , as spell that my father taught me..it reveals anything secret in the room. All of the sudden I saw Peter, James, and Sirius standing on the other side of the room. I wonder why Remus isn't with them...where are they going at this time of night?
"James, is that you? Where are you guys going?"
"We are not doing anything, go back to bed..please!" James said...I heard them whispering, and then Sirius came up to me while the other two walked out of the portrait 'door'. "Isabella, you just have to trust us alright? We have to do something right now, and I would tell you what, but it's not my place to tell you..Please just go back to bed and pretend you saw nothing..Please!" he begged
"Alright" , I said, "just be careful please!"
As I was heading back upstairs to sleep.. Flash I saw Sirius and James transform into what looked like a deer and a dog. They then went running towards a werewolf, the werewolf knocked James into a tree and you could see him transform back into his human form..he was bleeding. Sirius was next to him suddenly, he was crying, 'James..why you?" he was whispering.. Flash
"OMG James is in trouble..I can't let anything happen to him!" Lily would never forgive me if she knew I could prevent it... I made up my mind, and ran out of the common room till I reached the doors, that led to the outside. I opened them and slowly walked outside, sure enough off in the distance I saw a dog, deer, and a werewolf fighting. I didn't know what to do. I had to think fast.. Magic won't stop it..what to do..I have to make a diversion to draw his attention away from them..hmmmm I glanced up and I heard howling, there was the beast, running towards me, and I didn't even do anything yet to create a diversion. I felt frozen to the spot, I couldn't move.
"Isabella RUN!" I heard someone yell..I didn't have to think about it..I took off as fast as I could run. Then I saw a dog running beside me. This was no ordinary dog though because it was at least twice the size of a normal dog. I hopped on its back and it took me to the doors leading to the front hall. As I looked into its eyes, I suddenly knew that it indeed was Sirius. I didn't have time to think about it though because I then saw Dumbledore beside me that said, "Isabella, is that you? Why are you out here tonight? Go back upstairs, you need to be more careful."
As I was trying to sleep that night, I realized that I needed to talk to everyone, including Lily tomorrow, because I wanted answers..and I was going to get some..I also remembered that I needed to ask Lily why James seemed to hate Amos so much..he seemed nice to me..I then fell asleep..
Please review..thanks!
