Chapter 10:
(Isabella's POV)
Early in the morning I awoke and saw that Sirius was not there. I went downstairs and saw a note that said
"Izzy, I just wanted to talk to Dumbledore..I'll be backlater.."
So, I went about my day. I was able to send a few owls to my old friends from Hogwarts and clean up the house. Tomorrow night, Sirius and I were finally going to be wed. Lily and James said that they would attend, and it was going to be at Hogwarts. I was very very excited.
That night, I began to worry about Sirius, he still had not returned home. As I was heading downstairs to check if he was there, I felt a small pain in my head, and then Flash "Lily, take Harry and run" "James, I can't leave you.." "Goo" Flash I saw James and Lily dead on the floor. flash
"Oh no" I thought and immeadiatly went to Hogwarts. The minute I got to Hogwarts, Dumbledore grabbed my arm and we both apparated to what I guessed was Lily and James' house. I saw the dark mark above the house. I then looked over and saw a bunch of dementors surrouding a man. I looked at the man again, Oh my god..that's Sirius..what are they doing?
"Uncle, why are they surrounding Sirius"
"Isabella..Sirius is charged with the deaths of Lily and James.."
"No" I said and began to run towards Sirius.
"Sirius" I yelled, I saw him look up and then he was hit with a curse that must have knocked him out. The dementors took his body away, there was nothing I could do. I felt so hopeless, I started to run towards him again, but Dumbledore held me back.
"Uncle..why? He's innocent..he would never kill them..he's James' best friend..and my fiance.."
"Isabella..he's not guilty..Sirius came to me this afternoon saying that he wanted Peter to be the Potters' new secret keeper. I'm pretty sure Peter is responsible for this..but i'm afraid there is nothing we can do unless we can capture Peter and get him to confess.."
For the next few weeks, Isabella threw herself into her work. Between the deaths' of Lily and James, and Sirius being taken to Azkaban, she was a wreck. She would stay at work until around 2:00 am where she would then go home and get herself drunk. Tomorrow morning was Sirius' trial. She had been helping Dumbledore try to track down Peter, but to their sadness, they couldn't find any evidence that he framed Sirius.
The next morning, Isabella went to the Ministry with Dumbledore. They saw Sirius walk out. He looked terrible. He looked like he hadn't been getting any sleep, he had cuts on his arms, and he looked quite a bit skinny. The moment I saw him, all I wanted to do was run over to him and kiss his entire face, inch by inch. I wanted him to tell me that everything was going to be alright. But, it wasn't, and I wasn't sure if it ever would be. I glanced at Dumbledore while they were reading Sirius' charges. He looked very angry.
"I'm sorry Isabella.." I heard him say in my mind
"I will do whatever I can to help him though." then he was gone. I didn't want to look at Sirius anymore, I felt like it was my fault. I had these 'visions' yet I could never help anyone with them..I couldn't help but think that somehow this was my fault. I suddenly looked up and I heard the Minister of Magic say "Guilty" at that moment I felt like my heart had been split into many peices. I felt tears start streaming down my face
"Sirius..I love you.." I whispered, it seemed as though he heard me because he suddenly looked over at me. Dumbledore ushered me out of the room, and told me to go home and rest.
Later that night as I layed awake in bed, I thought of all the people that I had lost in my life, my younger sister, my parents, Lily, James, and now Sirius..I didn't know if I could take anymore. I had wanted to just end my life that night, but I just had to think about capturing Peter, and gettting him to confess, and then I had hope. I would be able to at least save Sirius.
The next morning, I decided that I would go and visit Sirius. I had to see him, I would find a way to make our relationship still work, I knew he was innocent and I was not going to give up on him anytime soon. As I was talking to one of the guards, a dementor passed me, I felt suddenly cold, and I saw Jamie drowning in my my head. I had wanted to just leave at that moment, but I had to see Sirius. Once we were at his 'cell' the dementor opened it, took away my wand, and then 'glided' away. I walked over to Sirius' body on a little mat on the floor. I knelt beside him
"Sirius..hunny, i'm here..it's me Isabella.." He opened his eyes, I wanted so badly to just throw him over my shoulder and walk out with him. I couldn't stand to see him like this, it made my stomache hurt.
"Izzy..is that you" he whispered.
"Yea..i'm here..i'm not going to be going anywhere for awhile.." I tried to convice him..but more myself. I took his face in my hands and kissed his entire face. I wanted to conjure him another blanket and some extra food. I quickly conjured him some more blankets and some extra food using my wandless magic. I just held him and fed him the food for the rest of the hour. A dementor than came to the cell and pointed out. I said alright and he backed away a little.
"Sirius..i'll come back tomorrow alright..I love you, never forget that.." I said to him.
"Izzy.." I turned around to look at him
"I don't want you to ever come here again..you hear me! This is no place for you..i'm sorry" he said.
"What? I will not just let you rott in here..Sirius, I love you, now i'll just pretend that you didn't say that and i'll see you tomorrow.." I said slowly and started walking out.
"Isabella..I didn't want to do this..but..our relationship is over..I don't want you to come here again.." He said to me, I could hear that he was sobbing. I was about to go comfort him and try to change his mind when the dementor reached his hand out towards me and pointed 'out', he then handed me my wand, and I left.
