"Come back here you little snot nosed brat!" The scar on my forehead burned as I continued running.

 

"Hello dear?" It was a woman's voice "Can you hear me?"

"Good, you're awake, Professor, she's awake!" The images started righting themselves and I sat up, I saw an old woman, her hair was under a pointed witch's hat.

"I am Professor McGonagall, the head of the Gryffindor House and Transfigurations teacher. You need to come with me" I carefully climbed off of the hospital bed, two boys instantly grabbed one of my wrists each.

"We have it" Professor McGonagall answered

"You can have it back after, we decide whether or not your with Lord Voldemort" I muttered under my breath as the boys dragged me out of the infirmary and through corridors, as I looked around I saw that  the people in the paintings were moving, one of them had a man in a top hat, he tipped his hat to me.

"Boys" He nodded to the boys and they let me go and walked away. "Now, Minerva what is the meaning of this?"

"And why is that, Minerva?" She grabbed my arm and held it up, then she pulled back my sleeve, the table of adults behind this 'Professor Dumbledore' man gasped.

"N-n-no" I stuttered the old man's eyes fell upon me

"We shall continue this conversation in my study" His eyes met mine "Just you and I young lady" He turned and muttered something to one of the adults behind him then turned back to face everyone.

 

"So, young lady, what is your name?" I crossed my legs and cleared my throat.

"Where are your parents?" I felt tears well in my eyes, I held them back though.

"Oh, I am truly sorry." I nodded my head once. "May I see your wrist?" I held out my left wrist "No the other one Isabella" I held up my right wrist and he carefully took it in his left hand, he held a wand in the right one and directed it towards the gashes. "Nothing happened, he said them a second time, nothing happened, he said them a third time and still nothing happened. "I'm afraid I can't heal this" He said releasing my wrist "It's obvious evil magic was used. Looks like Bellatrix's work" I looked at him

"Bellatrix?" I nodded "What exactly happened?"

a spell  on me and I started running, she started chasing me and eventually she surrounded me in a ring of fire, I put my hands up to protect myself and then she grabbed my wrist and did this" There was a knock on the door

"You sent for me Professor" The boy was my age, I was certain about that, he was gorgeous. He had messy brown hair and emerald green eyes.

"Why is he here?" I asked, he looked at me.

"Escort me to what?" I was now scared and confused.

"Sorted into what?"

"Well, I shall go and ready everyone. It takes a lot to make them behave" He chuckled a bit and I smiled, Professor Dumbledore walked out of the study leaving Cedric and I alone.

"Isabella, but please call me Bella" He smiled

"Yeah but, he died a long time ago, along with my parents" My heart ached at the thought of Mum, Dad, and Harry.

"It's fine, what about you, do you have any siblings"

"Being a goodie goodie again brother" I turned and saw someone walk out of the shadows, I went to grab my wand from inside my jacket sleeve and then remembered I didn't have it.

"And who is this, lovely creature?" I squirmed under his stare.

"But I-"

"I promise" He kissed my forehead

"Hmmm, difficult, very difficult, plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind either. There's talent oh yes, and a first to prove yourself. But where to put you?"

"Not Slytherin aye, are you sure? You could be great it's all here, inside your head and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?" The Hat told me

"Are you sure? Well, better be" There was a moment of silence "Mmm, Gryffindor!" The hall busted out in a roaring applause as the hat was taken off my head. Cedric smiled and clapped for me, I smiled back at him.

"Congratulations, Isabella" I smiled again

"Here comes the welcoming committee for Gryffindor" I turned and saw the ginger haired girl and a redheaded girl walking towards me.

The ginger girl held out her hand "I'm Hermione Granger" I shook her hand

"Boys!" Ginny called over her shoulder "Come meet Isabella" The redheaded boy and Harry came over.

"Weasley, I've heard that name. As in Arthur Weasley, as in Ministry Of Magic."

"Harry Potter, the boy who lived" He smiled

"Yeah, so any ideas about where I'll be staying?" Hermione smiled

"I'd like that, I'd like that a lot"
