Chapter 4
Isobel's POV
I stumbled as we landed on the lawn that surrounded the Burrow. A small smile broke out on my face as I dashed towards the Weasley's house. My brother smiled from beside and jogged towards the twisted and oddly shaped house that we would have to live in now.
When we reached the door I was about to knock but unexpectedly the door thrust open and a man with a scare covering part of his face stepped out. He gave me a small nod and then he appariated away into thin air. "Bell!" Ginny exclaimed rushing towards me for a hug. A smile broke out on my face and I was engulfed in a bear hug by Ginny as she almost suffocated me.
"Ginny who is this?" I heard a woman's voice say. I reached back and grabbed my brother's hand and pulled him closer to me.
"Mum this is Isobel and her brother Ian," Ginny said smiling up at her mother.
"Hello dearies why don't you come in it might be a little cold out." The woman said and then she ushered us into her house letting the twins close the door behind her. "My name is Molly, this is my husband Arthur, and this is Nemphadora Tonks, call her Tonks or Dora, and Remus Lupin. Of course you already know the boys and Ginny… am I missing anybody? Oh right, Harry and Ronald we have guest get down here!" She called up the stairs.
I heard the stairs shake as 3/4th of the Golden Trio came running down the stairs. Harry and Ron greeted my brother and they each gave me a hug individually.
"Have you children eaten yet?" Tonks asked. Both of us shook our head at the same time, Tonks smiled at us and motioned for us to follow her into the kitchen. She gave us food and then sat down at the table with us. "So, how come you are here unannounced?"Tonks asked looking at us with a raised eyebrow as her hair changed into the color of curiosity.
"I think it would be best if we told everyone in the same room," Ian said looking at Tonks in the eye. She nodded her head and let us finish eating our meals.
I look up at my brother worried, "what if they do not let us stay here anymore when we tell them the reason that we are here." I said softly while looking up at him.
He just gave me a soft smile and wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me towards him so that I was sitting in his lap with my head was buried into his shoulder. "Everything will be okay," he cooed softly into my ear. I slowly nodded my head, got up and pulled him into the other room with me so that we could tell them what happened.
We sat down on the couch and I caught the twins' eyes, they smiled at me and nodded their head. "I know all of y'all are probable wondering why we came here at such short notice. Well since I was a champion last year along with the other three schools, I became good friends with the Gryffindor's. I was with Harry in the graveyard but I don't remember anything that happened. Afterwards I spent most of my time in the hospital wing because of my concussion. Then we left and everything was fine for a year, until yesterday.
"It all started this morning after breakfast…" I told them everything that happened with my brother butting in every once in a while if I missed anything.
When we were done I cast my eyes down and spoke softly, "if y'all don't want us here anymore then we will leave, we do not wish to put your family in harm." All I heard was silence; nobody said anything and my brother tensed up next to me. He set a hand on my shoulder, I glanced up at him. He gave me a slight nod and both of us stood up and were about the leave when I heard Arthurs voice from behind us.
"You two can stay here as long as you wish," he sent me a smile as I turned towards him. The rest of the night we chatted until it was time to go to bed.
However, we did not make it to bed.
