When Isabella was on the ninth sky in September 1939, she would beam adoringly, give her father many hugs, hold hands with Amy, steal glances with her mother, who was happy for her but didn't want to hurt Wayne by showing her attention, ignore Zack's taunts and rants that she shouldn't keep going to him for anything, which she never did in reality, and finally tease Wayne by pointing towards herself with a smirk that only made him fum The tiny angel relished every moment of the chaos as she demonstrated how she is coming out of her shell.
Isabella had to get up early today to make it to King's Cross station in London, popularly known as 9 and 3/4 for her "Hogwarts Express" .
Due to her excitement and nostalgia for attending Hogwarts, which Amy was undoubtedly aware of, Isabella hasn't been able to get enough sleep lately. She went to Diagon Alley and purchased all of her belongings. Her chosen wand was made by Ollivander's.
She can still feel the excitement and rustling of the store's supplies when her wand chose her.
Acacia wood, 11 and 1/4 length, brittle flexibility, unicorn hair core.
When her father discovered that Isabella's wand's main component is unicorn hair, he wasn't surprised because he remembered the times when she would be harmed but didn't want anybody to see her in a vulnerable position, so he quickly cast non-verbal spells to heal her.
stating "Isabella was a good healer and great at non-verbal spells"
She was also in a state of great joy when she named her barn owl Atres and purchased him to write letters to her parents. She had no idea that she would be writing letters to her parents on a weekly basis but to Amy on a daily basis since she would be sorely missing her roommate and best friend amid all of this chaos.
She cherished the encouragement her father had given her by teaching her to consistently fly and perform broom feats, even though she had never volunteered to do so in the past.
The moment has come,
Along with her family, Isabella arrived at London's King's Cross station. Wayne and her mother were with Zack, who gave them hugs and comforting words. As Isabella's father approached her and her trolley, he took her by the hand and led the way to Platform 9 and 3/4, where Amy was definitely waiting on the other side. She arrives at the other side of the tunnel and is in front of
Express to Hogwarts
As Isabella said goodbye to her family, tears started to well up in Amy's eyes as well. However, the two of them hushed each other to keep this a secret. While Isabella was looking at her mother for something, Zack took his bags and hers into the train.
Possibly a support
A hug or some words, perhaps...
Her mother acknowledged this and knelt down next to Isabella, holding her hands and kissing her forehead.
"Isabella, You are moving away from home, so take care of yourself, pay attention to Zack, let me know about your grades and lessons, never miss a class without a legitimate excuse, do well in school, and ultimately, never let anything taint the purity of your soul, my love."
Her mother hugged her tightly, ignoring Wayne's looks, and patted her on the head to let her know it was time for her to go. She enters the train with heavy heart after taking her mother's advise and experiencing a wave of emotions, only to discover that Zack is nowhere to be found.
She ran into someone while looking for Zack while walking through the express building's hallways.
"Minerva McGonagall"
"First year? Where are you going? Go sit in a compartment or cabin; the train is about to depart."
Minerva spoke calmly, and Isabella, who was shocked to see the "Prefect" in front of her dressed in Gryffindor, replied effectively.
"Zack Theodore Black, who is my brother, has to be found. Have you seen or heard of him?"
On this, Minerva knowingly said to her,
"Oh, Black... Isabella, who are you?"
When Isabella made a lovely head nod, Minerva grinned and respond,
"He placed your belongings in cabin number 11 after being called by another Gryffindor Prefect, telling me to advise you to stay there until we arrive at Hogwarts. He will meet you there."
Isabella nodded, giving Minerva credit for her direction as she moved toward Cabin 11. only to be greeted by a set of eyes that appear strangely familiar as you open it...
None other than Tom Riddle himself was the individual.
The door sprang open, and the brunette politely inquired of the person in front of her
"My brother left my possessions here, thus I'm supposed to sit here, may I enter?"
He was filled with the same warmth that Riddle had experienced years earlier, but he managed to remain calm and composed for his own benefit. He kept his image of the brunette girl with the doe-eyed face from six years ago to himself as he turned to face the girl in front of him. He was bewildered and frustrated by the way his body responded to making eye contact; yet, he didn't want the girl in front of him to become aware of his internal conflict, so he ignored the fact that she did indeed resemble the girl.
His first cause for a smile...
His first good-bye...
His first...
He noticed the delay in his response and blatantly answered,
"Yes, you can."
In response, Isabella gave him a polite smile and a head nod before walking into the cabin.
Isabella pulled out her book of "Wonders of Hogwarts" while seated on the seat next to Tom Riddle and began to read, but she was abruptly interrupted by a ravenette's penetrating gaze. She gave him a sympathetic look and remarked,
"Oh, excuse me, I forgot to say my name is Isabella Theodore Black."
"No issue... I'm Tom Riddle," Riddle interrupted Isabella monotonously, and she beemed at him joyfully in her trademark gesture, making Riddle nostalgic for their first encounter. However, he was quick to occulmency his mind, little realising that this was not going to help him.
Isabella appeared to be at ease with Riddle in the cabin of complete silence as she read her book for a while, but once the bus had travelled nearly halfway to Hogwarts, she shut the book and turned to the window to admire the lovely scenery ahead of her. Unaware of the fact that...
She was someone else scenery too...
Isabella rested her head on the window seal and closed her eyes in her dream since she was currently feeling lightheaded and had been exhausted for the entire month. When Riddle eventually turned to face her, it appeared that she was sleeping.
The girl was well-known.
Her beautiful brown lashes were being caught by the brilliant sunlight as her brown hair hung about her shoulder. Tom thought it was more ethereal.
Tom noticed that she had a smile on her face, which he took to be a sign of a successful dream. The cabin door swung open with a tremendous shrill noise, prompting Tom to curse under his breath and Isabella to move in her sleep, shattering the serenity and affection.
A tall blonde man, a short ravenette woman, and a fat ravenette boy all walked in with a loud thump. The blonde entered the cabin while shouting, loud enough for the entire Hogwarts Express to hear,
"Ah.. Riddle, there you are someplace I haven't seen you before." He added, "With a GIRL!?!?" while turning to face a sleeping Isabella and finally realising that she was also in the cabin. After receiving a glance from Riddle, the lad seemed to realise the trouble he has made and sits formally next to him. Riddle then continued in a monotone, "I was just unwinding before the start of a new year at Hogwarts when you arrived to sabotage my "Perfect moment." Congrats Malfoy". "Oh.. come on Riddle, don't you miss me?.. or us?", the blonde goon known only as "Malfoy" dramatically exclaimed while gesturing the other two thugs.
Riddle looked at Isabella, who was rubbing her eyes in her sleepy state after being awakened by "Malfoy's commotion," when she heard the term "miss."
Riddle must acknowledge this about himself.
"Cute"
When she woke up, she first glanced at Riddle, then at the raven-haired girl, then at the other goone, and finally at the blonde devil. Before she could react, Malfoy pushed the books next to her and the ravenette to make room for him. He seemed to be having a paralysis attack after seeing her, sat next to her and consciously said, "Oh, hello, Miss. You weren't there, what's your lovely name? I'm Abraxas Malfoy."
Eye widened When Isabella saw that she was starting to feel uncomfortable, she briefly glanced at Tom, who was already glancing her way.
"Hello, my name is Isabella Theodore Black," said the receiver.
The short ravenette looked at Malfoy after hearing her last name and said, "Are you Black? Is she Theodore Black's child? Do not claim to be the elder..." She is the one, Parkinson, I knew it the instant I saw her, muttered Mafloy, elbowing the short girl while sneering malignly. Isabella, perplexed by the situation, stated,
"Yes, I am. What's wrong?"
"Nothing you are really so gorgeous as my mother and other wizarding families describe, Parkinson knows that too as her mom once saw you at the Christmas Ball organised by The Blacks three years ago," Parkinson said.
Blushing Isabella stumbled and looked at Parkinson, who appeared to nod in agreement. She whispered a bashful "Thanks" as the redness on her cheeks intensified in response. All three of them cried out in unison, but Riddle was only watching her out of the corner of his eye, thinking...
Is she truly herself?
Is she the same still?
Did she recall me?
'Did she' No, she has no memory of me.
If she did, I won't think of her again.
She'll sabotage my scheme.
I'm unable to...
unable to afford to love.
His train of thinking was interrupted by the laughter of none other than...
Theodore Black Isabella
Someone was watching
Him???
