-Just over a month later-

Isabella walked to the Great Hall, admiring the Halloween decorations as she did walked towards the Ravenclaw table. She sat down and tucked into the delicious dinner in front of her. Just as she started, Professor Quirrell ran into the Great Hall, and screamed “Troll in the dungeon.” Her eyes widened. Dumbledore stood up and silenced everybody and ordered the Prefects to take everybody back to their common room. Isabella followed everybody before sneaking off to find Hermione. She ran to the toilets. She skidded into the bathroom and called “Hermione troll!” Before she finished the sentence she saw a troll destroying the stalls. She pulled out her wand and began to cast stunning charm.

The troll spun around and started to bash towards her. She ran around, the troll dropped his large stick. Quickly casting the levitation spell and throwing it towards the troll. Afterwards she helped Hermione up and pulled her into a hug.

They both turned around and saw a collection of teachers standing there watching them. McGonagall was first to answer “What were you thinking Isabella?”

She replied “Hermione, she didn’t know, I couldn’t leave her. I didn’t know the troll was going to be here. I’m really sorry but I didn’t know what else to do.”

“I am ashamed of your behaviour and Hermione I think there should be an explanation.”

She looked down and lied “I thought I could hold it off. But Isabella saved me from my stupidness.”

“Five points from Gryffindor. Miss Granger return to your common room. Miss Potter follow me.”

Isabella followed Professor McGonagall out of the toilets while Hermione went back to her common room. Hermione smiled weakly at Isabella as she left in the opposite direction.

“Where are we going Professor?” Isabella asked politely.

“To Professor Dumbledore. He needs to talk to you and I am going to inform of the current events.”

We entered his office. He was sitting at his desk. His blue eyes twinkling, carrying a small glint. He gestured for Isabella to sit down. McGonagall quickly explained the events before leaving his office.

“Miss Potter, I am impressed by your actions. Not many people could tackle a 12-foot troll along.”

She smiled.

“I have heard a lot about you from the other Professors. You seem to be a smart young girl with some amazing talents such as a photographic memory which lasts a long time.”

“Thank you.” She replied.

“I am here to talk you about your family. I understand that this situation could be hard to adjust. How are you finding it?”

“Brilliant actually. I actually have a family and I couldn’t wait to come. Joe had told me his adventures and stories. I was really excited. I understand some sacrifices have to be made and that sometimes they have effects.”

He nodded and replied “I called you here today because I would like to tell you about the past and some details I am unable to share with your brother as well as giving you some lessons. I would have preferred to give this later on in your life but judging by the effort you apply I know you will be able to manage everything I am going to teach you.”

Isabella nodded and listened to Dumbledore while he explained all the events of the evening. Just as she was about to leave, he said “I almost forgot, 25 house points for your actions.”

She smiled and walked back to the common room. When she entered there were only a few people awake so she went straight to bed. When she entered the dormitory all the girls were sitting there waiting for her.

Padma screeched “I heard you fought the troll and went to see Dumbledore.”

“Yes I did. I’m going to sleep now. I will explain tomorrow.” Before she drifted off into a deep sleep.

-The Next Morning-

Isabella got and walked down into the Great Hall. Overnight the events of the previous night had spread rather quickly. Upon entering everyone began to stare in her direction. She sat next to Padma and she said “So are you going to explain the story involving the troll?”

Isabella smiled “Basically I went to find Hermione since I know she was upset because of the agreement between her, Ron and Harry. So I went looking for her since we should wouldn’t know there was a giant troll in the school. When I arrived at the toilets the troll was already there so I stunned it using the troll’s bat with a simple levitation spell to knock the troll over the head. Now Hermione, Harry and Ron have become friends again and I am a hero somehow.”

She ate her breakfast and acted like nothing happened despite the fact she had somehow defeated a twelve foot troll alone. The rumours continued to go around the school until there were ridiculous ones. Isabella paid no attention to the stares and the whispers as she carried on with her daily life.

In the library that evening while she studying streams of people kept coming up to her repeating asking her if the events were true. She nodded at all of them waiting to be left alone in peace. She could no longer take the questions so stormed off to the Ravenclaw common room.

While sitting in front of the fire everybody just left Isabella to her work, respecting her privacy as nobody liked to interrupt when somebody was trying to work. Joe sat next to her.

“Are you alright?” He questioned, his face displaying a concerned look.

“Ok I guess.” She replied while writing her essay.

“Truthfully?”

“I hate all the unwanted attention. I was just trying to study in the library when everyone kept asking me about the troll.”

He nodded and wrapped his arm around her pulling her into a bone crushing hug. “Remember it is almost Christmas and this year, I heard Molly is making you and Harry jumpers to welcome you to the family.”

Isabella chuckled and replied “We have over a month until Christmas Joe. Calm down.”

Joe smiled, gladly knowing she was back to her old self. He pulled out his parchment and completed the letter to his mum explaining what happened since Isabella would never mention as she hated being in the spotlight even if it was for a good reason.
