Summer 09

Chapter 6

                                                   Bella's POV

Two weeks I have been 'bed ridden' and I am sick and tired of it! Summer is half way over and I still have to go to Diagon Alley. So do the boys. The Order has been frantic. Father insisted they moved in for the summer. Tonks is in the order and Uncle Remus fancies her so its some what entertaining to watch. I'm finally aloud off of bed rest today!! And....I plan to go see Harry. The Order has been talking about going to retrieve Harry in a couple of weeks and bring him here. BUt I have to talk to him. The Weasely's and Hermione and coming today. So is Dumbledore im told.

"Bella!! They're here!!" Father shouts.

"Coming!!" I shout back and attempt to stand up. My legs aren't in the best condition. I take a single step but fall down to my knees.

"Bella come on the Weaslys are down stairs" Lou says walking into my room. I look up at him from the floor and he gives me a sympethedic look.

"Need help?" He asks.

"I'm fine, I can do it" I snap and use the bed post to help me up. I take another step but only fall down again.

"Come on let me help" Lou says talking a step towards me.

"I said i'm fine Lou! I can do it....I have to...." I said a few tears falling down my cheeks.

"Look, I know you want to walk. Your acting strong....but you can give in....let some one help...." Louis says kneeling down next to me.

"I'm sorry Lou....Its just....I want to be....normal I don't want to be the prey....I want to be...strong." I cry. Louis gives me a hug and helps me up. He wraps an arm around me supporting me by my waist and he helps me walk to the hall and down the stairs.

"Bella?! What happened to you?" Hermione asks as her and everyone else eyes me in my weak state.

"Its just a cut...."

"Oh come on Bells...you have to be more descriptive then that!" Fred says and George nods.

"Fine...I was almost eaten by a dragon! But I was too sour for his liking" I joke as me and Lou make it all the way down.

"There you go" George says.

"Oh my! Deary are you alright?! You look as thin as a twig!" Molly says walking over to me.

"I'm alright Mrs.Weasely...really" I say giving her a half smile.

"Nearly escaped a couple of Death Eaters! See this is why we are here! You Know Who is on the move and by god don't we all know what he's after!" Mad Eye Moody shouts.

"Mad Eye please....not in front of the kids..." Molly scolds.

"Remus?" Tonks asks walking through the door.

"Ah, hello Tonks" Uncle Remus says smiling.

"Now that were all here......"

"Not all of us...." Mad eye says.

"Who else is there?" I ask. The door opens and closes...and in walks Snape.

"Shall we...begin?" He asks in that odd low voice of his.

"Right....um children why dont you all head up stairs and get your rooms set up" Arthur says walking towards Molly. Everyone nods and heads upstairs. Louis picks me up and helps me up to the rooms.

"Mione, Ron You'll be staying my room Fred, George and Ginny with be staying in Louis' " I tell them.

"Niall, mind helping me with this one?" Louis jokes passing me over to Niall.
