Oooh, I loved all of the chapters! They were fantastic and I love Sirius's jealousy and everything really. You write the characters perfectly. Though I am upset that Izabella told Sirius no to marrying him. But I understand her reasoning behind it. Anyhoo, great posts! Please PAMS!

Thank you Maria! Same, I never shut up about it
Awww! Well just for you I'm going to try and get a little more Izabella/Lucius in But you might have to put up with Sirius for a few new chapters

Also, I was considering doing a FanFic about Izabella's teenage years and the engagement to Lucius and everything... Like a prequel I thought it could be quiet interesting to explore that time in their lives. And of course Lily and James would be in it too Let me know what you think

Decided to post the next chapter now Hope you like it, it's another long one!

Chapter Twenty-Nine - Christmas

Izabella woke the next morning, still in her clothes and aching from lying on the cold hard floor all night. She sat up, stretching, and spotted the photograph lying beside her where it had fallen out of her hand as she slept. She picked it up and placed it in the drawer beside her bed gently then stood up.

Wandering over to her trunk, she pulled out a pair of jeans and a jumper and placed them on the bed as she brushed through her hair, tying it up into a ponytail. She changed into her clean clothes then made her way downstairs, hesitating for a moment before pushing open the door to the kitchen.
As she stepped into the room, she was greeted by the sound of laughter and she smiled as she watched Harry grinning happily.

“Morning beautiful.” said Sirius from behind her. She jumped slightly then smiled and turned to face him. He looked at her for a moment and Izabella bit her lip, tensing. Sure he was going to mention last night's events she opened her mouth to speak but he held out his hands and pulled her towards him, wrapping his arms around her waist. Izabella melted against him and sighed contentedly.

“Breakfast?” he said, kissing her cheek.
“Yes please, I'm starving.” Izabella said as they moved to the table and sat down. The atmosphere was buzzing happily and Izabella relaxed, enjoying the company of everyone in the house.

The next few days passed quickly, spirits were high and they managed to clean the whole house. So much so that it was barely recognisable; surfaces shined and weren't covered in dust, the walls had been cleaned so that the original colours were finally visible and the chandeliers gleamed in the candle light.

Christmas Eve came and everyone went off to bed in excitable moods. Izabella gathered the un-wrapped presents from her room and sat on the kitchen floor, writing out labels whilst Sirius waved his wand at the wrapping paper.

“Sirius, you are awful at wrapping.” Izabella said, shaking her head as she inspected the messy pile of presents.
“It's hard.” Sirius complained, frowning as he attempted to charm the paper to wrap a dress for Ginny.
Izabella rolled her eyes as she stuck a label onto Harry's present.
“Try being a Muggle, it's even harder.”

“You never told me about being a Muggle.” Sirius said as he carelessly threw a wrapped gift onto the mountain like pile.
“There's not much to tell.” Izabella said with a shrug.
“You worked in an office didn't you?” he asked curiously. Izabella nodded.
“Did you have many boyfriends?”
“Sirius.” she said shaking her head and sighing. He chuckled.
“I'm just asking.”

He waited patiently and she sighed.
“Yes I had a few. But they didn't last very long.”
“How come?” Sirius asked grinning.
“Because I was always comparing them to you.” she said, pinching his cheek affectionately. He beamed and she rolled her eyes. “They all had more good points than you ever will so you can wipe that smile off your face.”
Sirius glared at her and she laughed, shoving him playfully. He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder as he stroked her arm gently.

“Izzy?” he said gently.
“Mmhmm?” Izabella said, snuggling against his chest.
“Shall we have a baby?” he suggested quietly.
“Don't be stupid Sirius.” she said sighing.
“Well why not?” he asked defensively.
“I'm not going to bring a child into the world in the middle of a war.”
“But-”
“And what would I tell Voldemort?” said Izabella, sitting up and looking at Sirius with her eyebrow arched. “That somehow you managed to get me pregnant when I'm supposed to have no idea of your whereabouts?”
“Who cares? You can just stop being a spy.” he said simply.

“Sirius...” Izabella said with a sigh. She stood up and picked up the wrapped presents. She carefully placed them under the tree which Mundungus had 'found' for them. Mrs Weasley wasn't too happy about it at first, but it was a nice touch to the highly decorated room and everyone had enjoyed themselves whilst they were decorating it with the baubles and other furnishings Sirius had found buried in the attic. Izabella fiddled with a piece of tinsel for a moment then turned back to Sirius.

“We have to do everything with can to help Harry. If that means cosying up to the Death Eaters then I will do whatever it takes.” she said firmly. He leant against the chair and sighed, running a hand across his forehead.
“I'm sorry it was just a suggestion.”

Izabella tilted her head to one side as she watched him then joined him on the floor by the dancing fire.
“What's this about Sirius?” she asked quietly. He looked into the fire, the flames highlighting the lines which aged his face.
“I just... I'm 37 years old and I have nothing to show for it apart from a criminal record.” he spat, the flames from the fire reflecting in his sad eyes. “The other day made me realize... I want all of the things you do. I want to get married and have children. I want a happy life.”

“Oh Sirius.” said Izabella in a hushed voice. “Why didn't you realize all of this 15 years ago?”
Sirius laughed slightly and put an arm around Izabella's waist, pulling her towards him.
“I know. I'm sorry.” he said, pressing his lips to the top of her head.
She smiled sadly and leant against him, her fingertips stroking the back of his hand softly.

A clock rang out quietly and Izabella lifted her face to Sirius' and smiled.
“Merry Christmas.” she whispered. He leant his head down and kissed her lips gently.
“Merry Christmas Izzy,” he said, looking into her eyes and holding her close against him. They cleared away the spare wrapping paper and extinguished the fire then walked, hand in hand, up the stairs and along the corridor to Izabella's room. She hesitated outside then turned to him.

“Stay in my room tonight?” she asked quietly, still holding his hand. He raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Are you sure?”
She nodded and smiled, opening the door and leading him inside.
“Only because it's Christmas.” she said with a grin.
“Well I had better make the most of it then!” he said, knocking her feet from beneath her, causing her to squeal, then catching her before she hit the ground. He swung her up into his arms and she hit his chest with her fist, pretending to be offended. He barked a laugh, kicking the door shut gently with his foot and kissing her forehead as she leant her head against his shoulder, smiling broadly.

*

Izabella groaned as her bedroom door banged open and Harry and Ginny stood in the doorway, still in their pajamas and demanding that they get out of bed. Sirius mumbled and rolled over, burying his face in the pillow. Izabella blinked open her eyes and squinted at the intruders, sitting up slightly.

“Oh come on,” Ginny moaned.
“We've been waiting ages for you to get up, it's Christmas!” said Harry, looking at Izabella pleadingly.
“What time is it?” asked Izabella in a croaky voice.
“Early. Now go away and let me sleep.” Sirius growled.
“It's six o'clock. Please, we want to open presents but we're 'not allowed until everyone's down stairs'.” Ginny said, rolling her eyes as she mimicked her mother.

“Give us a few more hours...” Izabella said, sinking back against the pillows and closing her eyes against the light from the hallway, which was spilling in through the open door.
“No!” Harry and Ginny yelled in unison. Izabella curled up against Sirius, burying her face against his bare shoulder.

“That's it. Fred, George. Get the fireworks!” Ginny shouted down the hall.
“Alright, alright! We're up.” Sirius said, lifting his head and rolling over. He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled a t-shirt and jumper over his head, shivering against the cold morning. Izabella moaned and sat up, swinging her legs over the side of the bed and glaring at Harry and Ginny. They beamed and retreated from the bedroom.

“We'll be back with fireworks if you're not down in 10 minutes.” Ginny threatened as they walked down the corridor. Izabella rolled her eyes and grabbed a jumper to throw on over her night dress. Sirius chuckled slightly as he stood up and stretched.

“Definitley takes after Lily.”
“No way. That was James through and through.” Izabella said shaking her head.
Sirius laughed then placed his hands on her waist as she stood up.
“Merry Christmas.” he said, before kissing her. Izabella smiled, putting her arms around his neck and sighing happily.

“I have something for you.” he said, releasing his grip on her and taking a small box from his jean's pocket, which were lying on the floor by the bed. He opened the box and Izabella gasped as she was blinded by a large sapphire ring, surrounded by tiny sparkling diamonds.

“Don't freak out, it isn't an engagement ring. It's a promise ring.” he said, taking it from the box and bending down on one knee. “Izabella Prince. I promise to love you and I promise to wait for you. I promise that I will always be there for you. And one day I promise that I will marry you.” he said quietly as he slid the ring onto her right hand.

“Sirius, it's beautiful.” said Izabella in a hushed voice, staring at the ring in awe. Sirius stood up and smiled at her.
“Don't you recognise it?” he asked, grinning. She looked at it for a long moment then gasped.
“This is the one me and Lily always looked at! In the window of the jewellers in Godric's Hollow!” she said excited. Sirius beamed and Izabella threw her arms around his neck.
“You remembered.” she whispered, hugging him tightly.
“Of course I did.”

Izabella looked up at him and smiled.
“Thank you Sirius.” she said gently, kissing his cheek and smiling. He grinned back then took her hand.
“We better get downstairs before Ginny kills us.” he said, leading her out of the room and down the hallway.

As they entered the kitchen, everyone was seated around the fireplace and the Christmas tree; Ron, the twins, Ginny, Harry and Hermione eyeing their presents eagerly. Lupin sat at the table with Tonks and Mad-Eye sat in an armchair, smiling more than Izabella had ever seen. Bill and Charlie occupied the sofa whilst Mrs Weasley was busy by the kettle.

“Finally!” Ginny said, sticking her tongue out at Izabella as she sat on the carpet infront of the fire, leaning against Sirius.
Izabella chuckled and gratefully accepted a mug of tea from Mrs Weasley.
“Now you can start.” Mrs Weasley said, turning to take a seat and watch her children.

The room became full of wrapping paper as everyone began tearing at their presents. Lupin took pictures as they held up their presents and thanked everyone.
“Thanks Izabella, it's gorgeous!” Ginny gushed, holding up her new dress.
“I chose that actually.” Sirius said, his face serious. Izabella rolled her eyes, laughing and Sirius winked at Ginny.

As Harry unwrapped an old, faded book Sirius, Lupin and Izabella exchanged a smile.
“We thought it would help with your teaching.” Sirius said, grinning as Harry looked at the Defensive Spells book.
“Thanks!” Harry said appreciatively.
“Open the front page.” Izabella said quietly. Harry was silent for a moment as he read the inside cover of the book.

“This was my dad's?” he asked, his voice hushed. Izabella nodded and smiled as Harry stroked the writing on the inside of the cover. In the top left hand corner, James had scribbled his name, and underneath it Harry recognised Sirius and Lupin's handwriting. It appeared to be notes which they had scribbled to each other in class, jokes that they had shared. But Harry's eyes were drawn towards the large love heart, inside which said, J.P. loves L.E. And below it, Sirius had written 'be a man' teasingly.

“L.E.” Harry said in a soft voice.
“Lily Evans.” Izabella said, resting her head against Sirius and beaming as she watched Harry.
“Thank you.” said Harry, lifting his head to look at Izabella and Sirius then Lupin.

There was a sound by the doorway and Izabella turned, smiling when she saw Snape stood there, although he was looking awkward.
“Sev! Come in,” she said, standing to greet her brother.
“I can't stay long. I just came to give you this,” he said, handing her a small parcel. “Merry Christmas.”
Izabella beamed up at him, and turned to pick up a present and hand it to Snape.
“This is from me and Sirius,” she said, glaring at Sirius as he opened his mouth to protest.
“Thank you.” Snape said, raising an eyebrow at Sirius.

Izabella pulled the paper off her present and opened up the box. She froze and a hand went to her mouth.
“How did you get this?” she asked in a whisper.
“I found it... Afterwards.” Snape said in a low voice. “It's no good to me and I thought you would like to have it.” Izabella smiled and picked up the diamond and pearl necklace carefully. It had a silver chain and a drop which was antique looking. It was shaped like a flower. Like a lily.

“Thank you.” she said, tears in her eyes as she reached up to kiss his cheek. He nodded his head slightly, clutching his present, his face flushing.
“Well, have a good day.” he said, acknowledging the other people in the room, flasing Izabella a brief smile then leaving Grimauld Place swiftly.

“What did you get him?” Sirius asked as she returned to the carpet.
We got him some Firewhiskey.” she said pointedly. “It's his favourite.” she said vaguely as she examined the necklace which she had carefully put back in the box. Sirius caught sight of the present and smiled.
“I recognise that. She never took it off.” he said fondly, looking at it over Izabella's shoulder as he hugged her waist. Izabella smiled and stroked the necklace tenderly.

“It's beautiful.” she said quietly.
“How did your brother get it?” Sirius asked, frowning slightly.
“Said he found it...” she said shrugging. She closed the lid of the box and turned to kiss Sirius' cheek lightly. With a smile she looked to the Christmas tree to see all presents had been opened.

“We can go to St. Mungo's as soon as you're all dressed.” Mrs Weasley said as she waved her wand and cleared the wrapping paper from the floor.
Everyone trudged upstairs to get changed and Izabella wandered over to Lupin and Tonks.

“Is that a ring?” Lupin asked, a smile creeping onto his face.
“It's not an engagement ring.” Izabella said laughing at the expression on Tonks' face.
“It's a promise ring.” Sirius interjected as he cleared away the mugs into the sink.
“So... basically an engagement ring then?” Tonks said her face excited, her eyes glinting. Izabella laughed and shook her head.
“Maybe one day.” she said, turning as everyone returned back into the kitchen, dressed and wrapped up against the winter cold.

She walked with them to the front door, wrapping her arms around herself as the wind blew the snow across the threshold. “I'm going to stay with Sirius, but send my best to Arthur.” Izabella said, kissing Mrs Weasley's cheek then waving to everyone else.
“Of course dear.” Mrs Weasley said with a smile, herding everyone off before Fred and George could start a snowball fight.

Izabella chuckled, waved one last time then shut the door, shivering as she returned to the kitchen.
Sirius sat at the table, James' book and Lily's necklace in front of him.
“We don't have much of them left now.” he said as she came back into the warm room.
“We have Harry.” she said, smiling as she sat on his knee, wrapping her arms around his neck. He nodded and touched the book gently.

“I forget sometimes.” Izabella said quietly after a pause. “I think, 'I wonder what Lily's doing', or 'I wonder if Lily wants to come shopping'... Then I remember.”
Sirius sighed, hugging her tightly.

“And Harry gets more like James every day.” said Sirius.
Izabella nodded then chuckled slightly.
“Do you remember Harry's first Christmas?” she asked. Sirius laughed.
“Of course. He was tiny. And James wanted to have a barbecue in the middle of December.”
Izabella laughed fondly.
“That was the best Christmas,” Izabella said, grinning.
“Don't forget the year before, when Lily... set fire to the tree... with the burning turkey.” Sirius said, in between a fit of laughter. Izabella giggled, smiling as she remembered.

They fell into a comfortable silence, remembering the past and thinking about the future.

Hey Jazz. I can't believe I've missed so much. More computer problems on my part, and then I've been caught up in the current events going on around the world. I do however love your writing. The story is great and I don't want to see Lucius ruin things. Sorry for those who like him, I just love the way you write Sirius and Izabella. And I'm also very anxious to read about when they return back to Hogwarts, and she has to meet with Voldemort. I'm sure she'll be able to fool him. I just can't wait to see how she does it. Great writing Jazz. I'll be watching for more.

Okay I couldn't wait so I decided to post the next chapter now, even though I am running late for school Hope you like it It's dramatic...

Chapter Thirty - All Is Fair In Love And War
Christmas passed quickly and the snow soon melted and was turned to mush in the early January rain.

The weather appeared to reflect everyone's mood at the imminent return to Hogwarts, especially Sirius who had become foul in the past few days, wallowing around the house and snapping at people for random reasons. He was decent at night, as he and Izabella lay in bed, wrapped in each other's arms, talking and laughing together but as soon as morning rose, he was bad tempered and Izabella had started to avoid him.

One night, a week before they were due to go back to Hogwarts, there was a knock on the door. Izabella was sat with Sirius at the kitchen table, pleasantly surprised at his joyful mood. However as soon as Snape walked through the door, the smile dripped off his face and he became sullen, folding his arms and leaning back in his chair. Izabella sighed then smiled welcomingly at her brother.

“Everything okay?” she asked as he took a seat at the opposite end of the table, ignoring Sirius' glares.
“I need to speak to Potter.” Snape said dryly. Izabella raised an eyebrow questioningly but he didn't elaborate. A tense silence filled the room, until it was broken by a cough from Harry as he stood in the doorway.

“Sit down Potter.” said Snape, sighing impatiently.
“Watch how you speak to my godson.” Sirius warned. Izabella placed a hand on his leg underneath the table, attempting to calm him.
Harry took a seat beside Sirius and looked between the adults curiously.

“I'm here to tell you that Professor Dumbledore wishes for you to learn Occlumency.” Snape annouced. Harry's face was blank.
“What's... Occlu- thing?” he asked confused.
“The art of learning how to block your mind from outside penetration.” said Snape in a bored voice. Harry nodded slightly. “You will have private lessons but will not inform anyone of this. Especially Dolores Umbridge.” he continued, looking down his hooked nose at Harry.

“Okay,” said Harry. “Who's going to be teaching me?”
Snape sneered unpleasantly.
“Me.”
Harry's mouth dropped open and he turned to Sirius for support.
“Why can't Dumbledore teach Harry?” asked Sirius argumentatively.
“Because the Headmaster has more important things to do.” Snape said rolling his eyes and standing up.
“I expect you in my office at six o'clock on Monday evening. If anyone asks,” Snape paused and smiled smugly. “You shall tell them that you are taking remedial Potions.”

Snape walked over to the door, his cloak billowing out behind him as Izabella patted Harry's hand comfortingly.
“Oh, and Izabella? The Dark Lord wishes to see you tomorrow, at one o'clock.” Snape said, turning as he remembered. Izabella nodded. “Do not be late.” he warned raising an eyebrow.

Suddenly Sirius stood up, his jaw tense.
“Hang on a minute Snape.” he said in a low voice.
“What is it Black? I have things to be doing.” said Snape, exasperatedly.
“If I find out that you are using these lessons to intimidate Harry, you will have to answer to me.” Sirius said in a dangerous voice, but Snape merely rolled his eyes.

“I'm terrified.” he said sarcastically, looking at Sirius with tedious eyes.
“I mean it Snivellus.” Sirius said nastily.
Izabella watched the two cautiously; she rose from her chair slowly, her eyes darting to their clenched fists.

“Don't worry. Potter is just as arrogant as his father... Insults just bounce off him.” said Snape, arching an eyebrow.
Sirius pushed back his chair and lunged at Snape, brandishing his wand and pointing it at Snape's chest.

“Sirius no!” Izabella yelled, running between the two men. Harry was beside her, pushing at Sirius' chest as he struggled to get at Snape, whilst Izabella grabbed her brother's arm, attempting to pull him away.
Abruptly the kitchen door opened and the Weasleys and Hermione stood in the doorway.
“Completley cured!” Arthur Weasley announced from his wheelchair.

He stopped as they noticed the frozen scene before them. There was a pause before Snape pulled his arm from his sister's grip and stalked out of the room, slamming the front door behind him.

Sirius straightened up and Izabella and Harry exchanged a dark look. The Weasleys looked curious but Izabella beamed suddenly.

“So you're fine now Arthur?” she asked as everyone poured into the room, taking a place at the table.
Mr Weasley nodded as his wife wheeled him in, smiling broadly.
“Oh yes, Healer Smethwyck found an antidote eventually.” he said, gratefully taking a butterbeer from Sirius.

They all raised their glasses in celebration at Mr Weasley's recovery and enjoyed a large meal, courtesy of Mrs Weasley.

Sirius laughed loudly and shared jokes, but Izabella watched him closely, noticing how miserable he became when he thought no one was looking at him. She sighed and finished picking at her meal.

“Glad to have you back Arthur.” Izabella said, smiling warmly as his wife and Charlie stood either side of him, helping him up the stairs. He beamed in response.
“Goodnight,” he called as he made his way along the corridor slowly.

Izabella smiled and sighed contentedly then turned to face the kitchen, hovering at the bottom of the stairs. She chewed her lip gently, considering sneaking off to bed so she didn't have to face Sirius and his awful mood. She lifted her foot to the next step, but the floorboard creaked noisily and she winced.

“Izzy?” Sirius called out gently.
“Coming.” Izabella responded, sighing internally. She walked back into the kitchen warily, sighing as she saw Sirius sat at the table, his head hung low over his drink. He lifted his face slightly as she entered the room.
“Come here?” he requested quietly, holding out his arms and pulling her onto his lap.
He cradled her softly and Izabella wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her cheek on his head.

“I'm sorry for fighting with your brother.” said Sirius finally. Izabella rolled her eyes.
“It's not me you need to apologise to.”
Sirius bit his lip, holding back his retort. Izabella sighed and stood up, collecting the glasses from the table and walking over to the sink. She placed them on the sideboard and rested her hands on the edge. She jumped slightly as hands wrapped around her waist, Sirius pushing back her hair and kissing her neck.

“Don't go tomorrow.” he begged her, his voice strained. Izabella turned to face him, pressed between his body and the sink.
“What?”
“Please. Don't go.”
Izabella sighed and attempted to move away from him, but he put his hands on her waist and moved his body closer to hers.

“Sirius. You're being stupid.” she said coldly.
“I don't want you to see him!”
“Why? Dumbledore has asked me to do this and I'm not going to let him down. He'll be asking about you and Harry and- What?” she demanded as Sirius shook his head, his jaw tense.
“I don't mean Voldemort.” he said quietly.

Izabella looked into his eyes, her mouth slightly open as a noise of disbelief escaped her lips. She shook her head and looked away from him, staring at the floor.

“Get off me.” she said in a low voice.
“No.”
Izabella looked up, her eyes blazing with anger. She shoved his chest hard, trying to peel his hands off her waist but he just grabbed her arms and held her tighter.

“I don't want you around Malfoy. I don't want him talking to you and I don't want his grubby hands on you either!” he yelled, his face flushing red.
“He's not like that!” Izabella shouted back, struggling to be free from his grip.
“He is sleazy Izabella. He wants you back and no one is going to stop him trying.”
“I will!”

Sirius laughed harshly.
“I doubt that.”
“How dare you!” Izabella screamed. “You've always been like this. The only time you take notice of me is when another man looks at me. I'm sick of it Sirius!”
“Yeah, well I'm sick of you.”

He finally let go of her and she stumbled back slightly. She was still for a moment, then pulled back her arm and slapped him. Hard.

Sirius staggered and held his face with his hand as there was a noise from the doorway. Harry stood in his pyjamas, Ron and Hermione hovering behind him looking worried.

“What's going on?” Harry asked, frowning deeply.
“Nothing.” Sirius said bitterly.
“For once, your godfather is right.” Izabella said nastily. She was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She lifted up her hand and yanked off the sapphire ring from her finger. “I'm going to bed.” she said as she threw the ring to floor by Sirius' feet.

“Izzy...” he whispered, his face pale.
“Don't even bother to follow me.” she said coldly, glaring at him for a moment before she stormed out of the kitchen.

Ignoring Harry as he tried to call her back, she ran down the corridor and slammed her bedroom door, sprinting to her bed and throwing herself onto it. Lying face down in her pillow, she sobbed gently until she fell asleep into a strange dream. A large black dog was trying to bite her, before a blonde figure saved her, enveloping her in his strong arms. The dog whined until there was a jet of green light and a yelp. Izabella sighed at the peaceful silence and melted into her blonde hero's arms.

Hey Jazz. I'm with Emily. Loved the chapter, but even though you warned us this was coming, I can't help what's up with the dream, and why did Sirius have to spoil things with his jealousy and worry. Maybe Voldemort found a way to get into Izabella's mind while she was dreaming to soften her heart towards Lucius. Yes, this will be my theory until you write something else to amend things Sirius tore up. Great writing Jazz, I'll be watching for the next chapter.

I know, but I needed to show them arguing, I want their relationship to be real and real relationships have arguments Ahhh that's a very good theory and scarily close to what is going to happen... But you just have to wait!

I may even spoil you today and post the next chapter before I go to bed... Hmmm.

Have to say, I do love a bit of drama as well. And it keeps you all guessing... Who will she end up with?
Anyway, I'm bored and can't sleep so I am going to spoil you rotten! Here's the next chapter, enjoy!


Chapter Thirty-One - Rewards and Reminders
As the morning sun rose, Izabella blinked open her eyes and stretched. As she lifted her hands to rub the sleep out of her eyes she froze, staring at her right hand and the finger where the sapphire ring should have been. The night before came speeding back and her insides became cold. She bit her lip and tears sprung to her eyes. With a sigh she ran her hands through her hair and decided to get up and go and find Sirius.

There was a gentle knock at the door and Izabella turned her head slightly. They knocked louder but Izabella suddenly felt distant and miserable. She sighed, rolling over in her bed and turning her back on the door. Curling up into a tight ball she squeezed her eyes shut and drifted off to sleep again.

When she woke again, the light which filled her room was brighter and she sat up quickly, looking at the clock. Half past twelve.

“Oh crap.” she cursed as she rolled out of bed, grabbing her wand and lifting it to her head so that her face was framed by poker-straight hair. She rushed to the wardrobe and flicked through the robes, pulling out her plain black ones and quickly running through a short apology for Sirius in her head.

She stopped suddenly and turned back to stare at the clothes hanging in the closet. Smiling smugly, she replaced the plain robes and pulled out the dress she had not worn in years. With a victorious grin, she tore off her pyjamas and slipped into the dress.

Looking in the mirror, Izabella saw a women in a long black dress with red detail on the left hip, above the slit which revealed some of her thigh when she walked. The dress was long sleeved and tight-fitting but exposed some of her back, showing her curves and slim frame and the round neck came low across her chest. Izabella tilted her head to one side and nodded slightly, then reached to the desk and leant closer to the mirror as she applied red lipstick carefully. A few squirts of perfume and she was ready. Picking up her wand and throwing a travelling cloak over her arm, Izabella left her room and headed downstairs.

As she entered the kitchen she smiled slightly as Ron's mouth dropped open, causing him to spill his lunch down the front of his jumper and Hermione to smack his arm, the twins raised their eyebrows, and Charlie blushed slightly and turned his gaze away from her.

“Afternoon,” she said as she casually walked over to Lupin who was stood by the sink, a mug of tea in his hand.
“Good afternoon.” he said inclining his head slightly and watching her curiously. She picked up an apple and took a bite daintily.

“Harry told me.” Lupin said quietly, leaning towards her.
“Told you what?” she said, turning her back to him to fill her glass with water and taking a sip.
“That you and Sirius had a fight.”
Izabella took another sip, swallowing hard and begging the tears not to fall. Then she turned back to Lupin and nodded slightly.

“So?”
“So, it was a bit harsh to give him the ring back.” he said gently.
“Well you would be on his side.” she snapped.
“I'm not on anyone's side.” He looked down into her eyes and she sighed, mumbling an apology.

“Don't be too harsh on him Izabella. He loves you.”
“He has a funny way of showing it.”
“So do you. You tried this jealousy thing before and it didn't work. What makes you think it will work now?” he said, gesturing to her dress. She frowned in annoyance.
“I'm not trying to make him jealous.” she said stubbornly.
“So it's a coincidence that he told you he doesn't want you around Malfoy-”
“How much did Harry hear?” she asked, concerned.
“Sirius told me that part.”

Izabella looked at him for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and laughed coldly.
“Well at least he talks to someone about how he feels.” she said spitefully.
“Izabella...” Lupin sighed.
“I know,” she said in a quiet voice, looking down and biting her lip gently. “I don't mean to fight with him but...”

At that moment, Sirius walked into the kitchen and she stopped suddenly. A flash of pain crossed his face as he spotted Izabella but it was gone as quickly as it came. He strolled over to the sink and glanced at Izabella, but she had turned her gaze away from him, her face tense and her body stiffened.

“I'm going to be late. See you later Remus.” she said her voice different and cold, pulling the travelling cloak around her shoulders and hurrying from the kitchen, touching Harry's shoulder gently before she left.

Once she was outside Grimauld Place Izabella took a deep breath and turned to look longingly at the door for a moment. She groaned inwardly and went to push the door back open, to run into Sirius' arms and... Her face became cold. No. He could apologise to her. Then she closed her eyes, her face becoming blank, and turned on the spot.

She landed outside the gates of Malfoy Manor and hesitated for a moment, not sure if she could pass without Snape or a Dark Mark but as she tentatively took a step forward she found she could walk through the iron gates as if they were air.

She marched up the pathway and knocked on the door, which was pulled back immediatley. Snape stood in the door way, glaring down at her.
“You're late.” he said as she entered the Manor which was filled with people.
“I'm not that late.” she said rolling her eyes. She slid the cloak off her shoulders and whipped it off. There was a hush in the expansive hall and the figures turned to look at her.

“You'll catch a cold in that.” Snape said, pursing his lips as he surveyed her.
“Don't be so cruel Severus.” Lucius said from the crowd behind Izabella. She turned.
“Lucius.” she said, smiling as he approached her.
“Izabella.” he said, taking her hand and kissing it gently. She gasped quietly as a shock shooted up her arm, originating at his touch. He looked into her eyes and she disregarded it. “You look beautiful.” he whispered. She grinned and turned to face the others in the room, nodding in acknowledgement.

“The Dark Lord wants to see you. Alone.” Snape said, looking deep into her eyes. Izabella nodded slightly and handed him her cloak. As she walked towards the drawing room, the crowd parted slightly and people watched her. A man who reeked of fire whiskey winked at her suggestively and she had to grimace to cover her repulsed expression. She knocked once on the large wooden door then entered the gloomy room, shuting the door quietly behind her.

“Ah Izabella.” said Voldemort, moving towards her swiftly. “I was beginning to think you weren't coming.”
“I'm sorry my Lord. I overslept.” she said apologetically, lowering her head.
He stepped towards her and placed a long finger underneath her chin, lifting her eyes to his.

“Where is Sirius Black?”
“I don't know my Lord.” she said calmly. He continued to look deep into her dark eyes.
“I don't want to hurt you Izabella.” he said, his voice dangerous.
“I don't know where he is my Lord.” she repeated. He nodded slightly and moved away from her, gliding about the room.

“Lucius told me...” he stopped and watched her curiously as she laughed under her breath.
“I'm sorry my Lord, but I thought this may be about my... conversation with Lucius.” she said, smiling slightly. He gestured for her to continue.
“Well, he has become a little infatuated with me my Lord-”
“I don't blame him.” Voldemort said, inclining his head slightly as he examined her from head to toe, an appraising look on his face.

“Thank you my Lord.” she said curtseying low. “But I couldn't do that to Narcissa... or poor Draco. So I needed to say something to him, something that would hurt his feelings a little. Or at least his ego.” she explained. Voldemort nodded, his expression thoughtful and took a place in the seat at the top of the table.

“So you do not love Sirius Black?”
“No.”
The word fell easily out of her mouth, but for a second she had hesitated.
“Do you love Lucius?” Voldemort asked, examining his hands as if he wasn't interested in her answer. Or like he already knew what it would be.
Izabella paused and looked down at her hands.

“I'm not sure.” she said honestly. Voldemort sighed.
“You two could have been so good for each other.” he said sadly. Izabella smiled slightly.
“I have something for you.” he said after a short silence, picking up a velvet box from the table in front of him. He walked over to her and handed her the box. Opening it, Izabella gasped as she looked down at the necklace that lay on the silk inside. Voldemort watched her closely, a small smile playing around his lips.

“It's beautiful my Lord!” she said gratefully.
“A little something for all of your hard work.” he said. His hands reached up to her neck and held the lily pendant in his fingers. “What's this?”
Izabella cursed herself silently for forgetting to remove it.
“My Christmas present from Severus.” she said.
“Indeed.” he said quietly as he stared at the pendant around her neck. Izabella swallowed and tensed slightly.

He knows what it is, she thought as he looked at it interestedly. Suddenly he yanked at the necklace and the chain snapped, falling into his hands. He handed it to her and she slipped it into her pocket quickly.

He moved around behind her and placed his necklace around her throat majestically. Izabella caught sight of herself in the mirror that lined the wall and her hand stroked the piece of jewellery in amazement. It was hefty and thick, covering a large area of her bare chest, the cold metal lying heavy on her heart. The gold threads were weaved together intricately and the thousands of emeralds sparkled gloriously, glinting in the candle light.

“Thank you my Lord.” she said quietly. His lips curled into a smile then he motioned for her to sit. He joined her at the table and pressed his wand to his throat.
“Come and join us.” Voldemort's voice was amplified, echoing around the Manor.

Warily, the door opened and the Death Eaters made their way into the room, taking their places at the table. She noticed Narcissa and Bellatrix's absence and frowned slightly as Lucius took his place beside her.

“They have taken Draco out for the day.” he explained, seeing the questioning look on her face. She nodded slightly, feeling Voldemort's eyes on her. Snape rushed into the room, looking to Izabella for any sign of injury but instead he frowned at the gold hanging around her neck. Flashing him a I-will-tell-you-later look, she turned to Voldemort expectantly.

“Wormtail.” he called harshly and the small man came scurrying into the room quickly. Izabella smiled in satisfaction at the scrapes and bruises that covered his flesh. He flashed Izabella a frightened look then turned to Voldemort.
“Fetch Avery.”
“Yes my Lord!” Wormtail said eagerly, rushing from the room and returning soon after, dragging a dirty, weak man.
“Leave.” Voldemort said coldly and Wormtail bowed his way out of the room. Voldemort stood up and moved about the room as Avery collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily.

“This pathetic scum gave Lord Voldmort the wrong information.” came the high-pitched, cruel voice as he circled his victim. Avery whimpered on the floor and Izabella shifted umcomfortably. Lucius glanced at her and seeing her discomfort, placed a hand on her thigh beneath the table. Izabella didn't protest, in fact, as Voldemort sent a curse at Avery causing him to scream in pain, her hand dived to his and she interlaced their fingers together, squeezing his hand tightly. She stared at the table and kept tight hold of Lucius' hand until Voldemort had finished the punishment.

“Take him away.” he ordered two Death Eaters who stood up immediately and carried an unconcious Avery from the room. Izabella relaxed slightly and loosened her grip on Lucius' hand but he didn't let go. Turning his head towards her, he smiled slightly and she rolled her eyes, concealing a grin.

Voldemort returned to his seat and looked about the Death Eaters.
“Lets hope I have not received wrong information from anyone else.” he said in a dangerous voice. The Death Eaters tensed for a moment then he waved his hand slightly, dismissing them. The room emptied and Lucius freed Izabella's hand.

“Thank you again for the wonderful gift my Lord.” she said appreciatively, bowing her head low. He curled his lip in a smile.
“You're welcome. I shall see you soon Izabella.”
“My Lord.” she said, curtseying once more then following Snape and Lucius out of the room.

By the front door, Lucius retrieved Izabella's cloak from the stand and wrapped it around her shoulders gently, brushing his fingers against the bare skin of her back softly.
“I'll see you soon.” he whispered in her ear, grazing his lips against her cheek and making her shiver slightly.

“Goodbye Lucius.” she said, a small smile teasing at the edge of her red lips as she looked at him from under her long eyelashes. He beamed then looked to Snape.
“Severus.”
Snape inclined his head then placed a hand on Izabella's and pushed her out of the Manor. She lifted her hood up over her head as light rain began to fall on them and hurried down the path and through the gates. Snape stopped her suddenly, his hand on her arm.

“I hope you know what you're doing.” he said, his eyes concerned.
Izabella laughed slightly.
“Of course I do.”
“Be careful Iz.” he said with a sigh.
She looked up at him for a moment then reached up and kissed his cheek.
“Thanks Sev.” she said quietly.

He held her chin in between his fingers for a moment and a flicker of a smile crossed his face. His hands travelled to the necklace and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he traced the emeralds beneath his fingers. He looked up at her and nodded slightly.
“I'll see you soon.” he said, pulling his cloak tighter around him before he turned on the spot and disapparated.

Izabella watched him leave, then pulled out the broken silver necklace from her pocket. She held it up in front of her and tapped it with her wand, smiling as the chain resealed itself.

Returning it back to her pocket and placing a hand on the rather more expensive necklace that dangled from her neck, she looked back up at the Manor. A blonde figure watched her intently from the large windows and she smiled slightly before glancing around the deserted street and disapparating.

Hey Jazz. You just keep giving us great chapters! I am thinking that Lucius put some kind of a curse on her when he touched her hand that first time. When she felt a shock? And then I was so afraid for her to keep wearing the necklace Voldemort gave her, but Snape looked at it, and didn't say anything. Maybe it's ok. Or maybe he knew it would be useless to say anything about it till he was sure and could help her get rid of the curse on it. I figure it's some kind of device that starts choking her if she does anything untrustworthy. I hope I'm wrong. But we'll see right? I couldn't believe the dress she chose to wear also. I was thinking the same as Remus was. Why did she have to try and hurt Sirius with his jealousy. Plus, like Remus said, she tried it once before and it didn't work.
Great chapter Jazz. I'll be watching for your next.

Thank you Connie! Possibly, but you'll have to wait and find out Although I have to say you are very good at guessing! Because she's silly and can't help it. That's love for you!

I would die of fear just from being near Voldemort Don't worry, even if he does it won't be intentionally Oh and I've started the prequel, it may take me a while to post it though, I don't want to get confused with the two

Chapter Thirty-Two - Curses And Carresses
Izabella landed steadily on the patch of grass outside the front of Grimauld Place. She looked up at the tall building and smiled. The night had begun to fall and there was a breeze which made the hairs on her arms raise slightly.

She hurried across the road, her arms wrapped around herself for warmth, and knocked on the door softly, glancing around the street. Harry opened the door and smiled when he saw her.

“You're back early.” he said joyfully. Izabella's mood had suddenly evaporated. She felt angry. Harry saw her expression and frowned. “Are you okay? What's happened?” he said urgently.
Izabella sighed and squeezed past him into the hallway.

“I'm fine.” she said coldly as she walked straight into the kitchen, her eyes searching for Sirius. She spotted him and she smiled. He was lounging in a chair, pretending to laugh but Izabella could tell he was miserable. His shoulders were tense and raised high and his hands were clenched in fists. She sighed quietly and then he turned and looked at her. Izabella glared at him and stalked off, grabbing a glass and filling it with water.

Harry exchanged a worried look with Sirius.
“Is everything okay Izabella?” Lupin said gently, watching her through narrowed eyes.
“Yes. Why wouldn't it be?” she snapped defensively.
Sirius rolled his eyes.
“Here we go, protecting darling Malfoy...” he said arching an eyebrow. Izabella curled her lip and the glass slid out of her hand, thousands of shards skidding across the kitchen floor.

“Watch your mouth Sirius.” she said darkly. Izabella had black shadows beneath her eyes and her face seemed paler. He laughed harshly.
“So are you a full time Death Eater now?”
Izabella withdrew her wand in a flash and hurled a jinx at Sirius who jumped backwards. Lupin managed to deflect the spell in time, as Sirius' wand lay on the table, and the two men stood watching her in disbelief. The others in the room turned to stare as Izabella breathed heavily, her breath raspy. She pulled off her cloak as her face had become flushed and red.

“What's that?” Lupin said suspiciously, gazing at the glowing necklace.
“Looks like a necklace to me.” Izabella said sarcastically, but her forehead creased for a moment as she noticed the jewels were gleaming more brightly than before.
“From Malfoy?” said Sirius bitterly.
“The Dark Lord actually.” she replied with a false smile.

Lupin and Sirius were still stood in a braced position, watching her closely. Sirius moved to the table, keeping his eyes on her and retrieved his wand.
“Of course. Malfoy wouldn't buy you something like that... You are just some girl to him. He doesn't love you.” Sirius said brutally.

A shriek escaped Izabella's lips and she rushed towards Sirius, her hands clawed, until she was stopped by an invisible wall and she stumbled backwards. She stupidly attempted to walk through the barrier again, but once more she was thrown back.

Everyone in the room turned to see Dumbledore framed in the doorway, looking powerful and monumental. Snape stood slightly behind him, his face screwed up in concern.

A small snarl passed Izabella's lips as she narrowed her eyes at Dumbledore. He took a few steps towards her and held up his hands looking at Izabella but keeping his gaze away from her eyes.

“Izabella,” he said in a calm voice. “Take off the necklace please.”
“No.” Izabella said frowning, backing off from the approaching Dumbledore.
“You will feel better.” he promised, his voice gentle as if talking to a young child. Izabella shook her head and her hand clung to the gold around her throat.

“Izabella please.” Snape said, his voice breaking slightly as he stepped towards her. She looked up at her brother and her expression softened, her grip loosening on the jewellery. She trusted him. “Take it off and hand it to me.”
Izabella nodded slightly and lifted her hands to the clasp at the back but suddenly it was tightening. She coughed and spluttered, pulling at the metal but it continued to restrict around her throat.

“Izzy!”
“Izabella!”

Voices were shouting her name but they were becoming dim. Her vision was blurry and her face was growing steadily redder.
A curse hit her chest hard and she was lifted from the ground slightly, then another curse hit her in the abdomen and she flew backwards, hitting the cupboards and the sink hard, her back bending unnaturally and her ribs making a painful crack.
The clasp around her throat had broken and was lying beside her limp body, the emeralds dull and lifeless. Dumbledore picked it up and examined it closely, but he seemed satisfied for some reason, as if it wasn't as dangerous as it could have been.

Izabella could feel hands on her aching body but was too weak to respond to the worried voices. A caressing hand placed a wet cloth on her over-heated forehead whilst another pair of hands traced her neck and collar bone, muttering incantations under his breath. Her body was sore but her chest felt lighter. She felt as though she could breathe properly again, although doing so made her broken ribs throb in agony.

She opened her eyes slowly and winced as Sirius pulled her into a hug.
“Sorry!” he said, biting his lip apologetically and lowering her slightly but still keeping her in his arms, her head resting on his leg. Snape's worried face appeared above hers as his wand stroked her neck, leaving a warm feeling on her skin where it touched, and she smiled up at him weakly.

“Thank you.” she whispered in a hoarse voice. He looked down at her with gentle eyes and sighed.
“It's usually you who has to help me.” he said, his voice slightly amused. Izabella attempted a grin but it appeared as more of a grimace.

“What is that thing?” Lupin asked Dumbledore, looking at the gold metal with deep disgust. There was a pause and Izabella tried to sit up so as to listen.

“It was charmed to turn Izabella against us all. She was supposed to detest us all the moment she saw us. It made her feel loyal to the Malfoy family and to Voldemort and eventually would of made her try and kill us... And it very nearly worked. Once you made eye contact with her the charm was cast and her feelings towards you changed.” he explained, still looking closely at the necklace.

“How come it didn't work properly?” Sirius asked as he brushed his fingers through Izabella's hair softly.
Dumbledore smiled.
“Love.” he said simply. “Her love for you all could outshine any charm, no matter how powerful.”

Dumbledore looked down at Izabella over the top of his glasses and smiled.
“You are remarkable.” he said to her, bowing his head in respect.
She blushed slightly and smiled in response.

Sirius and Snape glanced at each other from either side of Izabella. They made eye contact for a moment then both nodded curtly and looked back down at her. Izabella giggled, then immediately regretted it as a pain shot through her side.

“As that is a curse injury I am afraid there is nothing to do but rest.” Dumbledore said, sighing sympathetically. “Also, you will need to wear the necklace in front of Voldemort. Severus knows how it works and will make sure you are safe at all times.”

Izabella nodded then looked to Snape.
“Do you want me to stay?” he asked quietly but she shook her head.
“Go. I'll see you soon.” she said with a smile. He leant down and kissed her cheek briefly then followed Dumbledore to the kitchen doorway.

“We shall see you at Hogwarts.” Dumbledore said with a final nod before they left Grimauld Place. Lupin rushed forward as Izabella tried to stand up.

Amongst many flinches of pain she finally achieved it, but her legs were so weak she had to wrap an arm around Sirius' neck and let him practically carry up to her room.
Harry cast her a worried look but she placed a hand on his cheek as she passed him.
“I'll be fine. Don't worry.” she said in a quiet voice and he nodded slightly and smiled.

Sirius laid her gently on the bed, placing a blanket over her, then perched next to her.
“Anything I can get you?” he asked, stroking her arm gently. Izabella shook her head. There was a silence.

“I'm sorry about-”
“Don't.” he interrupted her, closing his eyes. She bit her lip slightly and looked away from him as tears threatened to fall. He lifted her hand and carefully placed the sapphire ring into position. She glanced down at it and smiled then gestured for him to come closer. Izabella put her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. He placed a hand on her waist and she cringed.

“Ouch.” she said quietly as he pulled his hand back and apologised repeatedly. She chuckled gently.
“I'll let you get some rest.” he smiled, leaning down to kiss her forehead, careful to keep his hands away from her injuries, then stood up and walked over to the door.

“Sirius?” she said, her voice straining as she raised it about a whisper. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” He turned at the doorway and they looked at each other for a moment before Sirius left, shutting the door gently.

Izabella clutched her stomach in pain, noticing a twinge in her shoulder. Her dress was itchy against her skin so she tried to get up, grimacing at the pain. She slid the dress over her arms carefully then slithered it off her body. Stepping out of it she picked up her warm pyjamas and pulled them on then gently lowered herself back into bed and gladly fell into a deep sleep.

Hey Jazz. I was actually here when you was posting, so here I am now to comment. Wonderfully written, and very entertaining. I'm sooooooooooooooo glad Snape got Dumbledore right away. I'm glad she was focused on Sirius when Harry answered the door. I know from your explanation Dumbledore gave them that she wouldn't have killed him, but she could have hurt Harry awful badly. Great chapter Jazz, and I'll be watching for your next.
