Isabella Lillian Potter

Chapter 6

HPOV

It's been months. And we're still not any closer to findng the other Horecroxs. And we don't even know how to destroy them! I noticed that Bella sat outside on guard duty every night without fail. I haven't seen her sleep in a week. The three of us were worried about her and Ron pointed out that she has been wearing the Horecrox more than the rest of us. She seemed really sad and angry all the time and I was scared for her. It only seemed to get worse after Ron left. I don't know what is going on with her, but I am not going to let her go through it on her own.

"Bells. Come inside and sleep. I'll take over." I said as I sat next to she on the edge of the cliffe we were currently camping on. She was reading her battered copy of Wuthering Heights again with a strange look on her face.

"I'm fine." She said, not taking her eyes off the book.

"Come on Bells. You haven't slept in a week! And you have been wearing the necklace more than Hermione and I combined. It isn't healthy." I said. She sighed and put the book down, looking out at the sea. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Are we going to do it?" I looked at her confused. "Kill him. I mean, we have no idea where the Sword of Gryffindor is and we don't even know what the other Horecrox's are! Let alone where to find them!" She sighed again and wrapped her jacket tighter around her body. "Is this what we're going to do with the rest of our lives? Scour the country looking for item's that may or may not be a Horecrox? And what if we do find them all and destroy them? How are we going to kill him? The second he sees us he will take our wands away and kill you before making me his wife." I never thought about it that way before. I put my arm around her and pulled her to me.

"I promise you, we will defeat him before we're 20. We have already killed the Horecrox in his diary in 2nd year and Dumbledore destroyed the ring. We have the cup and the locket. That's 4! And I swear, we WILL find the sword. I will not rest until we do." I said. She smiled at me and we hugged.

"Harry! Bella!" Hermione yelled from the tent. We shared a look and went back into the tent to see her. "I think we have to visit Godric's Hollow." We were about to protest when she stopped us. "I think we have to. It's where you two and Dumbledore grew up. It's where he lost his powers. I think there might be something there. Maybe even the sword." I looked at Bella and I knew we had no choice.

"Ok. We'll go tomorrow evening." I said. Bella was about to walk outside when Hermoine stopped her.

"No. You two sleep. I'll take this watch." I saw Bella open her mouth. "Don't even think about it Missy! You haven't slept in a week! You are going to sleep now whether you like it or not!" She then walked out of the tent, not leaving any room for argument.

"She's stubborn isn't she?" Bella said as she lay on the bed.

"You know her as well as I do." I sighed as I climbed into the bed on the other side of the room to her. I lay on my side and looked at her. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry that I'm such a downer. I just wish that this is over soon. I don't know how much I can take." She replied. I got up and crossed the room. laying next to her and pulling her to me.

"I know. I want it to be over soon aswell. We all do." She burried her head in my chest and fell asleep quickly. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't let my sister down. We would end this thing one way or another.

I sat outside the tent on watch the whole night. I was worried about Bella and I knew that Harry was even more worried. I saw her with that vampire when we apparated away from the wedding. There was something going on with them, and I think it has something to do with that ring she wears.

When the sun rose, I went inside the tent to wake the twins up and pack up so we can get to Godrics Hollow, but I saw them asleep on the far bed. Bella had her head on Harry's chest and he had his arms wrapped around her. They looked so cute together that I started packing some stuff without waking them.

"'Mione?" I turned around to see Bella getting up. "What time is it?"

"12." I replied, chucking her an apple as she stood up, trying not to wake Harry.

"Why didn't you wake us?" She asked as she took a bite of the apple.

"Because you looked so cute together!" I exclaimed. She laughed as she sat beside me at the table. "I haven't seen you two like that since fourth year." I looked down as I remembered why they were like that. It was just after the graveyard and they were still in the medical wing. Ron and I walked in to see them alseep together on Harry's bed, much to madam Pomfery's annoyance. It was the only way they could sleep without nightmares. It was also the last time the two were together until this summer.

"Shall we wake him?" Bella asked after a minute, brightening the mood. We got up and tip-toed to the bed. "Harrrrrrrrry." She said in a sing-song voice.

"Time to get up." I said in the same sing-song vioce. All he did was groan and roll onto his front. We looked at eachother and leaned over the sleeping boy.

"OH MY GOD! DEATH EATERS!" We yelled together. He jumped off the bed and started waving the pillow around like he was waving a sword. When he realised what was going on, Bella and I were rolling on the floor, laughing our heads off.

"What the hell guys!" He said, making us laugh harder. "It's not funny!" His whining was hilarious! We laughed so hard that we were crying. He gave up and walked away.

A few minutes later, when we had calmed down, we walked into the tent's makeshift kitchen and found him sat eating a sandwich. "You guys calm now?" He asked. We giggled but nodded anyway. "Ok. We need to pack the tent away." He walked away then and Bella and I had to try not to laugh at him.

"Ok Mr. Bossy." Bella said walking up to him and hugging him.

"Oh, so that makes you Miss. Bossy." He said back with a smirk. She slapped him upside the head and walked out of the tent, grabbing her bag on the way.

"That hurt!" Harry whined as he left the tent.

"Deal with it." She replied as I used my wand to put the tent back in my bag. I grabbed their hands and we apparated to Godric's Hollow. I had a bad feeling about this.
