There was a knock on the door. I jumped, startled, suppressing a growl. 'Who could be coming in here at this time? And knock?' I thought, running to hide under the bed. The door opened and there stood the two men and the woman. They hadn't seen me, so I hid in the shadows, but then the woman dropped her wand. She bent to pick it up, and she saw me. I could see her brown eyes staring at me: hazel brown eyes. Bella's eyes. It was Bella's mother. She stood, slowly, pointing her wand at me.

I tried to speak but all that came out was a growl, which alerted the others to my presence. I got out of my hiding place and all three hurled a barrage of spells at me. I guessed they weren't very smart if they didn't know their spells wouldn't work against a werewolf. I tried to speak again, but it came out as another howl. I curled up into a ball. What could I do?

"Tonks? Are you in there? Who is in there with you?"

It was Hagrid. I howled as the door handle moved. The two men and Bella's mum turned towards the door as it opened. I ran to the door and held it shut.

"Tonks! What's happening in there? I'm going for the Headmaster."

I heard him going back off to the castle. That's when one of the men threw me against the wall and I blacked out.

When I woke, it was morning and I was back to normal in the hospital wing. My head really hurt but otherwise I was ok. I looked around and saw my mum and dad on the right, and Bella and Jane on the left.

"Who died?" I said sarcastically, but my mother looked shocked.

"Oh sweetheart! are you ok, Professor Midnight told us all about it!"

"Mum, I am fine, leave it." I told her.

She couldn't help but flatten out the bed sheets and plump up the pillow.

"Dad, what happened? I know Hagrid went to find Midnight, but then I got thrown against the wall and blacked out."

I didn't want to say anything about Bella's mum yet.

"Well the men ran off when they heard the Headmaster was coming, but we don't know where." My dad looked ruff, his hair was a shaggy brown which covered his face and his eyes were pale.

"I am sorry. We should have told them about the people in the forest." James said.

I hadn't noticed him at first; he was behind my mum and I couldn't see him.

"James, how is it your fault? It's fine."

Then my dad turned to me. "Do you know who any of them are?"

"Honey, she needs her rest, leave her for now." Mum butted in.

I was quite pleased; I didn't want to say anything in front of Bella. Mum then told me to get some sleep, so I did.

When I woke up, only my dad was there.

"Dad, it was Bella's mum," I said quietly so only he heard.

"What?"

"Bella's mum was in the tower with two men. They threatened James and me a couple of weeks ago but he didn't want to tell anyone, so I didn't."

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because Bella was here."

As I began to drift off I could hear the voice going round and round in my head, but I still couldn't put a face to it. Then it faded and I was on the Hogwarts express in my first year, I was with Jane, James, Fred and we had just met Bella.

...wait.

I haven't really told you about what my friends and I look like! Ok well I have shoulder length blond hair. I know the way you are picturing it, but its nothing like: that its horrible., I always have a blue ribbon in my hair ,too; I have my Dad's wide hazel eyes. Then there is Jane she has wavy brown hair and big sky blue eyes. Oh, and her parents are Thomas Longbottom and Rose (Weasley) Longbottom. (just to you those characters are from this other story I was doing and I liked to add them in but if you don't think its appropriate then we can cut it out) Then we have the twins James and Fred., When you see Fred you know the reason he was called Fred: he has messy ginger hair and ignoramus bright green eyes and is the most mischievous person I know. Then we have James he has a darker more black red than red. His eyes are green, but not as big as Fred's, and he is the quiet one who reads. He isn't fond of non fiction; he prefers fiction. Bella looks a lot like her father Goyle. She has brown hair and her mum's brown eyes and a hollow but chucky face even though she looks so much like him, her personality was so very different.

So we were on the Hogwarts Express and we were chatting just chatting nothing in particular, and James was reading Terry Pratchett: Witches Abroad., Yes it's strange that I still remember the small details, but that's how my memory works. Bella and I were chatting because the others weren't so sure on talking to her. I didn't care: she wasn't her father and she wasn't her mother: she was Bella. , Fred and Jane were playing exploding snap.

"So what houses do we want to be in" James chirped up from his corner.

"I want to be the same as my dad: Hufflepuff, where dwell the brave and loyal" I said while standing up and looking to the sky and they all laughed.

"Well I want to break the damn - " Bella began.

"Language!" I said.

"Fine, I want to break the stupid" she paused, "family tradition, so anything other than Slytherin"

"I don't care as long as there are hot boys"

"That's a shock! It's exactly like if James found out there was a house where you couldn't read books out of lessons" Fred said.

"Now don't be like that. It's offensive to people who don't read books... oh, so that's everyone else but you," James moaned.

"Fred what house do you want to be in?" I said

"Hufflepuff's meant to be fun"

"Now, you are not going to say anything to anyone about us, but if you do, we will kill you and your family and your friends, got it?" said the voice,

"Do you know who any of them are?" said my dad.
