Sorry, just a short chapter!
Chapter Seven - Lost Lover Found
Izabella stretched and blinked open her eyes as the soft sunshine leaked into the dusty bedroom from the gaps around the musty curtains. She rolled over in the large squishy bed and screamed at the sight that greeted her, sitting up suddenly and almost toppling off the edge of the bed as she did.
Standing by the edge of her bed was a hunched house elf with an abnormably large nose and squinty watery eyes.
“Sorry Miss... Kreacher was told to tell you breakfast was ready Miss.” said the creature in a wheezy voice.
Izabella nodded and smiled slighty.
“Yes.. Thank you... Kreacher.” she said, her heartbeat slowing.
The house elf toddled out of her room mumbling to himself and she leant against the headboard sighing slightly as she thought about the events of the day before.
There was a soft knock on the door making Izabella look towards the door and run a hand through her messy hair.
“Come in,” she called. The door opened warily and Sirius appeared. He was dressed in casual clothes and his face looked cleaner and his hair less messy.
“Morning.” she smiled, sitting up in bed and tucking her legs underneath her, leaving him space to sit at the end of her bed.
“Morning. I heard you scream then saw Kreacher leaving your room and thought he might have been bothering you.” he said grinning at her. She laughed and shook her head.
“No, he was just telling me breakfast was ready. What time is it? I haven't overslept have I?” she asked, glancing around for a clock but realizing the room was bare.
Sirius smiled then reached out and put a lock of her black hair behind her ear gently, leaving his hand by her face to stroke her cheek affectionately. She leaned into his hand and smiled.
“You can sleep for as long as you like.” he said softly.
Izabella paused then slowly moved her face towards his. His hand moved to her chin and he lifted her face up, before slowly moving towards her and pressing his lips against hers. She closed her eyes as her breathing became slightly ragged and she touched her lips against his again. Sirius' arm moved to wrap around her waist and pull her closer, his hand placed lightly on the small of her back, kissing her more intensely. Izabella wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his body closer to hers, and melting into his strong arms.
“Izabella are you coming down-” Harry stopped mid sentence, his hand still on the handle of the door he had just pushed open. He paused awkwardly as Sirius and Izabella let go of each other, Sirius standing up and Izabella blushing ferociously.
“Morning Harry!” Sirius said cheerily grinning at his godson. Harry laughed and Sirius walked over to him, wrapping an arm around him and ruffling his hair fondly. “Let's leave your godmother to get dressed and sort that red face out.” he said winking cheekily at Izabella.
“Oh shut up and get out.” she said rolling her eyes and glaring at them until they left the room, Harry apologising repeatedly and Sirius chuckling loudly.
She laughed then fell back onto her pillows with a small sigh. She lay still for a moment smiling to herself and tracing her lips lightly with her fingertips, then she sat up and swung her legs out of bed standing up and walking over to the suitcase which she never bothered to unpack the night before.
She caught sight of herself in the ornate mirror that hung on the wall by the door and groaned slightly at her reflection. Her black hair was sticking out in all directions and she had mascara smudged under her eyes. She sighed then started to pull out her clothes and toiletries.
