Isabella Lillian Potter
Chapter 8
BPOV
When we got back to the tent, Hermione and I went to bed while Harry stayed outside on watch. I collapsed on the bed and was pulled into a deep sleep with the nightmares I've been having since we left. I was watching Cedric's death over again. But tonight, I was simultaniously watching Edward leaving and being sent away from my family.
When I woke, I heard Mione pacing outside. I got changed and went out to see her.
"Hey Bells. What did you mean about the snake being one of them?" Mione asked as I sat next to the tree.
"I meant that the snake is a horecrox. The spells I used had the same effect they had on the necklace." I replied. She sat next to me and I saw the worried look on her face. "What's wrong? Where's Harry?"
"I don't know. I came out and found him missing." She said. "I'm worried. You know better than anyone what he gets like." I knew what she was talking about. I tried to talk to him through our connection, but he wasn't answering. I could feel his surprise and relief which confused me even more. "You Ok Bells? You look a little pale."
"Nightmare." I replied.
"Again? What is it that you keep dreaming about?" She asked, looking at me worried.
"It's nothing."
We started to pack the stuff away and take down the wards. I saw Harry appear over the hill and walked over to him, leaving Mione inside the tent. "What the hell Harry! You dissapear and then don't answer me! Where the hell have you been..." I trailed off as I noticed a certin red-head behind him, holding the sword of Gryffindor. "Hermoine! You might want to get out here!" I yelled. I watched Mione hit Ron and shout at him before going and getting the cup from my bag. "Give me that." I said, grabbing the sword off Ron and stabbed the cup. I was thrown back due to the shear force of the horecrox being destroyed. I was thrown into a tree and fell down. I looked up to see Greyback stood over me. Oh shit.
RUN! I yelled at Harry through our link and drove the handle of the sword into Greyback's balls. He doubled over and I ran from the catchers that were with him. The 4 of us ran through the woods, swerving to avoid the spells shot at us. I heard a thump and saw Ron fall to the floor out of the corner of my eye. I ran faster and got to a clearing at the same time as Harry. I saw Mione stood in the centre and catchers on all sides, but fell to the floor when I was hit with a vision. I came out of it in shock. Voldemort knows where the elder wand is. We're doomed.
I saw Mione shoot a spell at Harry and saw his face puff up. I ran over to them and put all 3 of our wands in my boot, making sure the catchers didn't see. I changed my looks as Harry told Mione about Voldemort and realised too late that I looked like a certain motherly vampire, complete with golden eyes.
"Well well well. What do we have here?" Greyback said as he came over to us. We were grabbed by catchers and forced to stand up. "What happened to you ugly?" He said to Harry, but the ugly dude holding him looked up aswell. "No not you." He said to the other guy.
"Really? Cuz I think he is way uglier." I said, not able to hold my tounge. He stood infront of me and looked closely at me.
"And who are you?"
"Esme Platt." I said, thinking on the spot.
"Well, Esme. Next time you want to hit a guy, make sure it isn't me." He sneered.
"And next time you are this close to a girl, brush your teeth. Or at least have a mint." I said, earning me a slap. He looked at Harry and saw something. I looked over and saw that despite Hermione's spell, his scar was still slightly visable.
They took us to what I recognised as Malfoy Mannor. We went in and met Bellatrix, Voldemort's lap dog. She freaked when she saw the sword and sent Harry, Ron and I to the celler while she kept Hermione for god knows what.
"Who the bloody hell is Esme Platt?" Ron asked as Pettegrew walked up the stairs with Griphook. Filthy rat. Pun intended.
"Someone I met in Forks." I said, turning my looks back to normal.
"Well, she's pretty." Harry said, making Ron and I look at him like he had 3 heads. Haha. That made me think of Fluffy!
"Harry? Bella? Ron?" A dreamy voice floated through the celler and a small figure appeared at the end of the room. Ron turned the lights on with the put-outer and the form of Luna Lovegood became visable.
"Luna? What are you doing here?" Harry asked.
"They took me because of what my dad was writing about you two. Mr Olivander is here too." She said as he walked out from behind a collum. We heard a scream, and I knew it was Mione. Harry looked into the mirror he hid in his sock and suddenly, Dobby apparated into the room.
"Dobby!" I whisper-yelled.
"Harry and Isabella Potter! Dobby is here to save you!" The elf replied, looking happy.
"Can you apparate in and out of this room?" Harry asked.
"Yes! I'm an elf!" He replied. I quickly formulated a plan.
What do you think? I thought to Harry.
Lets do it. He replied. "Dobby, get Luna and Mr Olivander and take them to-"
"Shell cottage. On the outskirts of Timworth." Ron replied. "Bill and Fleur live there."
"Ok. Take them there and meet us at the top of the stairs in 30 seconds." I told him. I watched Dobby take them away and changed my apperace to look like Rosalie. "Yo! Pettegrew!" I yelled while Harry and Ron hid on either side of the door.
"What?" He snapped, walking in front of the door.
"You know, You are really cute. Why don't you come in here and I'll show you how American's do it." I said in a sexy, American voice. I stepped back as he opened the door, only to have Harry knock him out.
"What the hell was that?" Harry asked as we ran up the stairs.
"That, my dear brother, was flirting." I replied, taking our wands out and handing him his. I noticed that Ron grabbed Pettegrew's, so I put Hermione's back and held mine tightly. We ran to the top of the stairs to see Dobby waiting for us. "Dobby, do what you can to distract them." I said. He apparated somewhere and the 3 of us crept up the stairs, keeping low. I peared over the top stair, keeping out of view, and looked at the scene infront of me. I saw Hermione on the floor, her arm bleeding, and Bellatrix standing with Griphook, who had a cut on his face.
"Hermione!" Ron breathed before jumping up and running towards her, throwing spellls at people in the room.
Harry and I shared a look before following him. I was locked in a duel with Narcissa Malfoy, Ron was dueling with Lucius Malfoy and Harry was fighting Draco. I disarmed Narcissa, but froze when I saw Bellatrix holding a knife to Mione's neck.
"ENOUGH!" She yelled. I saw Harry and Ron freeze when they saw Moine. "Draco, take their wands." He took Harry's and Ron's before coming towards me. I looked at him with hatred and he flinched before taking my wand and handing his mother's back. "Well well well. If it isn't the ittie bittie Potter twins. The Dark Lord will be delighted to hear that we have captured you."
"Oh really? I didn't think old Moldy Shorts was capable of emotions." I said. I knew I shouldn't, But I couldn't help it.
"You dare defy the Dark Lord's name!" Bellatrix shreaked. Man, I feel sorry for Mione. That must have killed her hearing.
"Yes I dare. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't." I said, crossing my arms. I could hear Harry telling me to shut up through our connection, but I ignored him. "And I though Death Eaters were supposd to have a brain.
"Lucius! Call the Dark Lord so he can deal with this imbicile." Bellatrix sneered. I saw Lucius lift up his sleave to reveal the Dark mark, but was distracted by a squeaking noise. Everyone looked up at the chandeleer and I looked to see Dobby losening a bolt or something. Suddenly, it came crasing down to Bellatrix and Mione, who were stood underneath it. I reacted quickly enough to leap forward and grab Mione, pulling her back to saftey as Bellatrix dove out of the way. I saw Harry grab our wands from Draco in the commotion.
"You ok?" I asked Mione as Harry and Ron put an arm around us and moved slightly infront of us. She nodded and I saw Lucius, Narcissa and Draco run to help the madwoman as Dobby apparated over to us. Griphook was with us aswell, although I have no idea when he joined us.
"You tried to kill me!" Bellatrix shreaked at Dobby.
"Not Kill. Dobby never meant to kil. Only maim, or seriously harm." Dobby said. Man I love that elf.
"You dare defy your masters!" She shreaked again. Dobby straightened up and I quickly held onto his hand as I knew he was about to aparate us.
"Dobby has no master. Dobby is a free elf!" He declared proudly. Harry, Ron, Mione and Griphook grabbed onto the elf and he apparated us away. I saw Bellatrix throw her knife, but I have no idea where it went.
We landed on a long beach. I fell into the wet sand and breathed in the fresh air. It was cold, so I knew we were still in England. Must be where Dobby took Luna and Mr Olivander. I looked at Harry and he looked fine.
"Hermione, are you ok?" He asked as we got up. She nodded, her eyes locked on something behind us.
"Harry Potter. Isabella Potter." A weak voice said. I turned around to see Dobby stood behind us... With Bellatrix's knife lodged in his stomach.
Harry and I ran over to him and Harry grabbed the small elf as he collapsed. I slowly pulled the knife out and laie it on the ground, watching with horror as his makeshift shirt soaked up blood.
"It's ok. Hermione, do you have anything in your bag?" Harry asked, his eyes filling with tears. "Hermione?" I put my hand on his arm, tears flowing down my face.
"Such a beatuiful place." Dobby murmered. I cupped his cheek with my hand. "Such a beautiful place to be with friends." His breathing slowed to a stop.
"Dobby?" I whispered, not wanting to believe it. I closed his eyes slowly and looked at Harry to see him crying too. Luna came over and put her arm around Harry.
"I want to burry him. Properly. With no magic." He said, looking straight at me. I nodded to my brother.
"I'm sure he would like that." Luna said in her dreamy voice. I let out a sob and felt familiar, cold arms wrap around me. I cried into thier shoulder and let out all of my frustrations. After a few minutes, I stopped crying and looked up to see blonde hair that belonged to the last person I expected to see.
Ooh! Who is it? Still sad that Dobby died. Sorry for the cliffie.
Thanks for all the reviews. They mean alot. Let me know what you think of this chapter.
