Evangeline Lestrange||Slytherin Princess

Bella was shook. Adam was never like that, she melted into unknown strong arms, James. He didn't smile, or laugh. He just stood there holding her tightly, not wanting to let go.

Roxy came back flustered. "Mcgonagal is sending Neville up, it's okay Belle." She smiled.

Fred looked so angry he was going to pop. "I swear I'm going to kill that scum, that git hurt you!"

"No, Fred, he's not worth it." Isabella sniffed, closing her eyes and laying on her back. "He's not worth your pain too..."

minutes past, while Fred and James spoke angrily, Roxy read and Bella looked out of the window.

"Bella?" Neville popped his head through the door, "Finally!" He smiled and held his little girl tightly.

"Daddy. I'm so sorry." She sobbed.

Roxy took Fred out and looked to find Frank and Alice, leaving a tired and bloody James with Neville and his daughter.

"Baby, it's not your fault, it's okay." He soothed, "Are you hurt?" Bella brushed her hair off her face to reveal a massive slap and a scar. "Bella!" Neville cried, stroking the curse.

She winced. "James helped me." She smiled.

Neville looked at a sad James and gave him a hug "Thank you."

"No problem." James smiled sitting down. Neville looked at his watch. 

"Sorry Princess, I must hurry, got to help Hagrid, stay with James." He kissed her forehead and with a final sigh he left the compartment, wiping his eyes.

Fred and Roxy returned, "Bella?" she looked up from the window. "What are you gonna do?"

"What do you mean?" Bella said.

"Adams twin, he's your friend isn't he? And Zara." She spat the name like venom.

Bella nodded. "You will take a break from them all won't you?" Fred smiled uncertainly.

"They've done nothing wrong!" Bella snapped.

"So?" Fred said impatiently "They're friends with Adam."

"They're my friends too." Bella sniffed.

"I know Bells, but Marcus is Adam's twin, and Zara is in the same house. They will naturally gravitate towards them." Roxy sighed, smiling slightly.

James moved next to Bella and  put his arm around her protectively "Just think about it, Bells we want whats best for you, we don't want you hurt."

The students were walking into the great hall for the annual feast, Bella saw Adam and immediately she began to shake, James tightened his grip in her hand and she followed him to the Gryffindor table.

"I'm so bloody glad you can sit on which ever table now." Fred smiled at Bella, who smiled back, making sure not to make eye contact with Adam or Zara, who were waving at her.

"Yeah, dad told me what it was like back when he was at Hogwarts, and your mum Bella had to sit by herself on the Slytherin table because she was friends with Uncle Fred and George." Said James, he noticed Isabella still looked sad and scared and moved closer to her. "Why don't you speak to Scorpius?" he whispered in her ear. She nodded and stood up, walking across to the Slytherin table, where Scorpius and Albus were talking.

"Hey, Bella." Scorpius smiled. "You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm good. I didn't see you on the train though." Isabella smiled back, sitting on the table with James' younger brother and her cousin.
