I walked slowly back up to my room. When i arrived a small hand written letter sat upon my pillow. "my very best friend" it read on the front of it. I sat down on my bed and opened the letter. It was very short, "my love, today i am leaving you. But i want you to be happy. Please finish school and settle down with a nice young man who can provide for you. I wish things could be different. But they cant, im sorry. Forever yours, Fred weasley."

I started to cry. I lay down and closed my curtains and cried for hours. Once i had used up all of my tears i laid in silence. I heard the other girls come in, laughing and talking about the weasley's grand escape. I wanted to cry more, but i couldn't. I dont know how long it took but eventually i fall asleep. I woke very early the next day and dressed in silence. I crept down the stairs and out of the castle. I needed to think. I walked the distance around the lake thinking about fred and what the next year would bring me without him. I wanted to be happy for him. Fred would always be apart of me but my journey at the moment would not have him in it.

After school let out i made the long journey back to london with my parents. I told them about fred, not him leaving, but the good things. I pretended as he was still in school and i would see him the following year. They were happy to see i had made such a good friend, and a handsome one at that. Summer was going quite fine. I worked in my father's camera shop just for something to do.

The next school year nothing exciting happened in the school but outside it things got much worse. Attacks on muggles became a frequent event and most people now were being to believe that in face voldemort was making his comeback. The school year was coming to a close, but there have been more rumors that dumbledore has been gone from the school. This worried me and everyone around me. One night, most of gryffindor was still awake in the common room begin to study for exams when there was yelling coming from within the castle. The members of the da were the first to stand. We ran through the halls and down to the great hall were a group of deatheaters were fighting with members of the order of the phoenix. I saw harry potter run out of the castle on to the grounds but i stayed and fought. We soon pushed the deatheaters out of the castle where the order took over completely. Us, da members, ran outside when we heard more yelling. Around to the side under the astrometry tower we saw a figure laying on the ground. We all walked toward it until we saw who it was. Dumbledore laid broken on the ground. The rest of the school soon joined us out on the lawn. No one knew what happened or what would happen next. The next few days were rough. All exams were cancelled, which meant i was done. I was a graduate. But it wasn't a happy time, for anyone. I wrote fred, told him what had happen and that i missed him very much. But i never got a response. It angered me, i stopped writing and tried to forget him. I needed to move on. I hated him, and i left hogwarts never wanting to return because of all the memories. Everywhere i went there i saw fred. I needed to escape him.

I left hogwarts and basically all of the wizarding world. I still was a witch but i lived in the middle of london in the muggle world, with my parents. I still worked with my father. Everything was calm.

One day i was working in the shop below our flat. It was strange. I saw far too many people in cloaks passing by. I was nervous but i didnt say anything. I went along with my work. I headed to the back of the store and my father was up front when i heard the door bell ring as it opened. Men's voices filled the air. "hello how may i help you?" my father said.

"we need to see your daughter." one of the men said.

"i dont think that will happen" "oh i will be the judge of that...Aveda kedavra!"

i heard my father drop to the floor. I clasped my hand over my mouth. I couldnt think, who were these people. I ran up the stairs to get my mom. I heard the men coming up the stairs. My mom was in her bedroom reading. "we need to go. Right now" i yelled bursting into the room.

She stood up only to get hit in the chest with a green flash. She dropped to the ground. I turned around to face the attackers.

"we are here to collect you miss" one of them smiled.

"how about not" and i disapparitied. I thought of going to the joke shop, I saw it, and kept going. I ended up at a field where I once went with my parents. I fell to the ground. This couldn't be true. What just happened? I am alone.

I laid in the field for hours, until the sun was setting and bugs began to bother me. I got up and went back to disapparitied. I found myself back outside my father's shop. I pulled out my wand and stepped slowly inside. I wasn't sure if there would still be people here. My parent's bodies were missing. They must have moved them so no one would know. I felt a cringe in my heart knowing I would never be able to bury them. "I'm sorry" I whispered at the picture of them hanging on the wall. "I couldn't save you"

I opened the shop the next day, I had learned to move on quickly. Life went on. I smiled and greeted customers all day.

Right as I went to turn off the open sign Kingsley and Madeye Moody walked into the shop. I was caught by surprise.

"hello?" I said, very confused.

"Hello, Isabella" Kingsley nodded his head toward me.

"Hey there" I waved awkwardly. I didn't know why they were standing in my shop.

"We know what happened today" Moody said quietly, "We are very sorry."

"Thank you, sir" I said, starting to clean up.

"We came here today to see if you wanted to join the Order." Kingsley just boldly said. I was taken aback. I slowly put down the broom I had against the counter.

"Well, that's quite a question." I laughed not knowing what other response to have.

"I'm sorry to bring this upon you so suddenly after yesterdays events, but we need you. We need as many people as we can get." Kingsley said kindly.

"No, no. It's perfectly fine." I looked around the room. I saw the pictures of my parents and myself. I saw how happy we were. I knew I needed to join, to save people since I was too weak to save my own parents.

Moody started "If you need time-" "Yes, I'll do it" "You sure?"

"Yes, lets go. I just need to grab some things."

"Oh of course."

I ran around my room grabbing clothes and anything I might need. I ran back downstairs and passed all the pictures. I stopped quickly and grabbed my favorite and threw it in my bag.

"Ready?" Kingsley asked.

"Let's go." I smiled.
