Chapter 12:
(Isabella's POV)
As I awoke the next morning, I looked out the window. It was a bright sunny day, and later that evening I was going to see Harry, my godson. I was so nervous, what if he hates me? I couldn't help but think to myself. I glanced at my clock, I was going to be late for work. I jumped into the shower, got dressed and apparated to my work. As I was heading to my desk I glanced around and saw that a lot of people looked upset and some teriffied. What's going on I thought. As I was seated at my desk, I saw a newspaper sitting there. I glanced at the headline, 'Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban' I fainted.
I awoke in Dumbledore's office, "Isabella, I trust that you've heard the news.." I nodded at him, I didn't know whether to start crying or to jump for joy. I had finally gotten over him, I had Matt now. I then remembered that Matt had no idea that I was still engaged to Sirius, I doubt he even knew that Sirius and I used to go out. I would deal with Matt later though.
"I'd rather not talk about it right now uncle.." I told him.
"That's understandable.." He said.
"Uncle, may I see Harry while i'm here..." he looked at me and smiled,
"Of course you may..." he then summoned Harry to his office, and left. I started to shake, how would he react to me? Did he know about Sirius?
"Hello, Dumbledore said that you wanted to see me..am I in some sort of trouble mam?" I heard someone say behind me. I jumped up and turned around. I gasped, he looked like the spitting image of James. Except for his eyes, they were Lily's amazing green color. I wanted to cry, he reminded me so much of them.
"You must be Harry..." I said quietly for I wanted to cry.
"Harry, my name is Isabella Dumbledore...I am Dumbledore's neice." He came over and shook my hand,
"Your uncle is a wonderful man Mrs..Ms.."
I saw him glance at my hand, "Ms. Dumbledore" he finished.
"Harry, there is no easy way to say this..I am your godmother.." for a moment he just looked at me.
"Please..say something, you see I went to school with your parents..is there anything you'd like to know?"
He just stared at me for a few moments, and as he was about to answer, Remus came in.
"Hello..Dumbledore said that you might need me here..hello Harry...Harry have you met Isabella, she's a really great person.." he then came over and hugged me.
I could tell that Harry needed to know me a bit more, so for the next hour or two, Remus and I told him all about our adventures with Lily and James.
"Then, Isabella got engaged to Sirius, and Lily to James.. and.." but before Remus could continue, Harry stood up.
"Sirius..the man that is out to kill me? You.." he then pointed at me. I went silent, I forgot that Sirius was Harry's godfather.
"Harry...what do you know about Sirius?" I heard Remus ask him. I wanted to leave, I didn't want to think about Sirius and I anymore, I had just wanted to forget him.
"I know he murdered my parents, and he's escaped from Azkaban and is now out to kill me.." Harry said. As I was about to jump out of my seat and tell him how truley nice of a person Sirius really was, Remus whispered in my ear, "Izzy..he can't know..let him figure it out.." I then said my goodbyes and left.
I walked inside my flat and saw an owl sitting on my windowsill. The message said,
"Isabella, I wanted to have dinner tonight together, so please owl me back with a response a.s.a.p. Matt"
I decided that I needed to get out of the house tonight anyways, so I responded with a "yes" and started to get ready. I got dressed in a black spagetti-strapped dress. I had heels on and a little bit of makeup. I then met Matt at a little cafe down the street from my apartment. We had dinner and then ordered dessert. I noticed that he looked very very nervous.
He said, "Isabella you look very beautiful tongiht.." and he leaned over and kissed me. All of the sudden I got a chill, and looked over towards the window. I saw what looked like a black dog walking away from the window. Sirius... I told Matt that I felt ill and that I would owl him tomorrow. I then quickly apparated to my flat.
When I got to my flat, I ran to the bathroom and and splashed some water on my face. I was so overreacting I told myself. I wasn't even sure that it had been Sirius. I heard a noise in my livingroom and went to investigate what is was. As I walked into my livingroom, I felt a cold hand cover my mouth...
