-End of Author's Note-

The school year quickly began to pass. Isabella was progressing quickly in her studies and was ahead of everybody else. Her friendship with Hermione had developed and they were close friends. Padma was always great friends with both although Isabella was different from her other classmates. Harry and her had grown close over the course of the year and often would sit outside and talk in the evening.

That evening, Harry and Isabella were sitting in the library whispering quietly.

“I got onto the Gryffindor Quidditch team.” Harry said.

“How? First years aren’t allowed to play Quidditch.” Isabella replied. Harry soon explained the story. Isabella looked astonished.

“We have been at this school two weeks and you pulled off a stunt like that.” She rolled her eyes.

“You can’t complain. Playing pranks with Fred and George.”

“I only plan it plus they pay me by teaching me extra things. Really I’m not doing anything wrong plus if I get in trouble. The twins get beaten up.”

“Why?” Harry responded.

“Because of the deal Joe made with them. I can help them as long as I don’t get in trouble because of them and if I do Joe will beat them up like he did in first year when they played a prank on him and now they are good friends.”

The bell rang signalling dinner had started. The pair got up and Isabella continued to lecture Harry about his stunt.

“You are as bad as Hermione.”

“Good at least we have some common sense.”

They entered the Great Hall and went their separate ways. Isabella sat there talking and eating with Padma and many other Ravenclaws. Shortly after they entered. Draco approached Harry. Isabella happened to see the conversation unfold. After she had eaten, she waited until Draco left along. She quickly left and followed him.

Draco spun around and said “Why are you following me Potter?”

“Stay away from my brother otherwise you will have bigger problems than you can manage.”

“Is that a threat Isabella? Didn’t take you as that type.”

“Yes Draco.” She raised her eyebrows and smirked.

“Intimidation doesn’t work on me.”

“I’m not trying to intimidate you Draco if I was I would have done something much worse. Take this as a warning. I don’t want to have to punish you but I will.”

“If glares could kill then I would be dead a thousand times over.”

“I don’t want you dead Draco, you alive is much better than you being dead. In the future you will be useful to me if we keep on speaking times. I suspect you want to save your skin.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I am aware of future places, there are clues everywhere especially if you look in the right places. I am about to propose a truce because you deserve a chance since I’ve seen the nice side of you.”

“Fine Potter. What does your truce compile of?”

“All you have to do is ignore me, pretend I don’t exist. If you ever need anything you know where to find me. My earlier statement still stands I find out you hurt my brother, I will hurt you in the most painful way possible and you will not even know you could feel that much pain.”

Isabella strode away leaving a speechless Draco standing there. Unaware of what Isabella was talking about he had agreed. She was intimidating and he was scared. She had this aura of power and sophistication. He stood there unable to move. She was right he would want to save his own skin and he had overheard talks between his parents of the past.

Draco walked to the Slytherin common room and he uttered the password “Pureblood.” The common room was unveiled. He sat down constantly thinking about the power she had over him. His mind went back to the sorting ceremony. He saw the look on her face when she had the hat on her head. She looked excited. Her eyes did glance over all the tables. Remaining longer on the Ravenclaw, but occasionally glancing over to the Slytherin. She would have done well in this house. She was mischievous, sly and smart. Not forgetting her confident.

Isabella had wandered to the library once again. She always ended up her. She saw Hermione sitting in the corner. She sat next to her. Hermione glanced up from her work.

“Isabella. I am so glad that you are here. I need to tell you something.”

“Ok. Go on.”

“I overheard Draco challenging Harry to a duel in the trophy room.”

Isabella rolled her eyes and replied “Try and stop them from going.”

Hermione nodded and went back to her work while Isabella left and went to the Ravenclaw common room. After talking out a muggle book from the bookcase, Perks of Being a Wallflower. Isabella curled up in a window seat and read.

Later that evening Harry and Ron snuck out of their dormitory and into the common room. Hermione appeared. “You are not leaving the common room.” She demanded.

Ron retorted “We cannot be cowards.” Pushing Hermione aside, they left. Hermione followed and attempted to stop them. Afterwards she tried to return but the Fat Lady had wandered off. They were about to walk away when they heard a voice. Looking down they saw Neville curled up waiting for somebody to come.

Walking away after telling Neville the password. The trio set for the trophy room. Once they entered the trophy room, they waited for Malfoy to show up. They waited and waited. When suddenly they heard Filch talking to Mrs Norris. All three looked at each other panic struck before running out of the trophy room followed by Filch and Mrs Norris. As they ran down the corridor, they saw a classroom door, desperately trying to unlock it. When Hermione whispered the spell and they fell through the door into the room. Looking at the room all three saw a giant three-headed dog staring at them, before they could do anything they all left the room screaming. Running and panting they arrived back at the Gryffindor common room. Uttering the password they entered.

“Didn’t you see what the dog was standing on?” Hermione questioned.

“No. I was too busy looking at one of its three heads.” Harry replied.

“It was guarding a trapdoor. I wonder what the school are hiding.” Hermione retorted as if she was stating the obvious.” She stalked out of the common room into her dormitory and getting a rest before they decided to do anything stupid again.
