Isabella's POV -

It was now the end of January. I had a meeting with Dumbledore this afternoon but it was also Hannahs birthday so we were throwing her a surprise party in the common room.

I decided to walk to Dumbledore's office. I already felt a lump forming in my throat at the decision I had made we still had a few more months of normality to enjoy though.

I felt a hand grab my wrist and pull me in to an alcove. "And where are you off to" Draco questioned.

Shit I didn't tell Draco that I was meeting Dumbledore.

"I'm meeting with Dumbledore, I thought I told you that the other day" I lied.

"Why are meeting with Dumbledore what's wrong?" he fretted.

"I don't know he wanted to discuss my powers. I suppose he wants to know how I'm managing them" it's half true I suppose.

"I'll wait for you then" he stated kissing me on the head.

"No don't be silly I don't know how long I'll be. Walk me there though?" I asked holding his hand.

He walked me to the office and I kissed him goodbye. I knew he was going to bloody be outside still when I was done. I smiled I loved that he treated me like a princess except for in the bedroom he was a total freak and I loved it.

"Miss Reign, how lovely to see you. Please take a seat. I assume you had a good Christmas break?" he smiled.

"Yes Thank you sir, I've made my decision" I stated looking at my hands twiddling in my lap.

"Very well Miss Reign, take your time in explaining I understand it's a difficult situation".

I took a deep breath "I'm not sure if you're aware but me and Draco are together now. I love him.. a lot. It kills me knowing what's going to happen to him in a few months I would never leave him alone to deal with that" I paused closing my eyes to stem the tears.

"I'm going to join The Dark Lord, and help Draco get through his mission" I stuttered. Knowing part of Draco's mission was to kill the man sat in front of me.

"I'm hoping I'll have a say in the matter he thinks he needs me to win the war after all" I looked at him. A few stray tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Please don't get upset Miss Reign, what's going to happen needs to happen I cant stress that enough. I have no ill feeling whatsoever to Mister Malfoy. I can see you care for him very deeply I really do hope love prevails and you both get the chance to have a life together once this is over. I feel you have made a good decision and I believe you may be right he does need you and he may be a bit more lenient when it comes to you" he answered.

"Thank you sir, I really hope so. I just wanted you to know also that over Christmas break I spoke with Mrs Malfoy, she's mastered occlumency and she.. um she offered to help me anyway I need it. When draco has his mark we're going away for a couple of weeks to work on his occlumency so I can tell him everything". I told him trying to gage his reaction.

He nodded his head slowly. "Very well, I must say The Order thanks you in advance for your service. You are extremely brave and I truly commend you, your parents will be very proud of you" he praised.

More tears I'm going to have to abandon my parents once I receive my mark and until this war is over. They were going to be heartbroken but I hope Dumbledore is right and that they'll be proud once they know why I'm going do what I'm going to.
