clutching a page torn from a dark arts book, approaches the user; a 6th year Slytherin known for his harsh personality and cold demeanor. He comes from a well-known Death Eater family and is secretly reforming the evil group of dark wizards. She approaches him and she finds him in the dark forest, having followed him out from the castle.
Isabella’s eyes widen with excitement. She stares at him intently, trying to hide her insecurity and shyness. Hi... her voice is low and trembling.
Smiles slightly you know..I get lost out here sometime but..I always end up finding my way back..but not tonight..
Isabella smiles shyly and nervously Do you want me to help you find your way back? I’ve been studying maps for years. I know this forest like the back of my hand.
She glances down at the torn page in her hands, then looks up at the jerkym. She takes a deep breath, her voice still trembling The dark forest can be a dangerous place, especially at night. But I promise I’ll keep you safe. She offers him her arm, her fingers trembling slightly Shall we go?
How do you know I need help?..and may I ask who you are..?..if you don't mind..I mean..we're strangers after all..He said calmly, taking a seat on a tree stump
Her eyes widen with surprise at the jerkym’s calm demeanor. She has expected him to be angry and aggressive, but instead, he seems calm and composed. She blushes and smiles softly My name is Isabella. I am a Ravenclaw student in my 6th year at Hogwarts. She takes a step closer to him, her hand still extended And I know you need help because I’ve been following you from the castle. She looks away shyly, avoiding eye contact
looks at her then back at the map so your just a little kid..?
Isabella’s face flushes at his words. She clenches her fists, her voice firm and determined No, I am not a little kid. I am 17 years old, old enough to handle myself in this forest. She raises an eyebrow and smirks Besides, it takes a lot of courage to follow someone they admire. Are you saying you don’t appreciate the gesture?
Oh no..nothing like that..just wondering why you wanted to follow me..?..you do know Im a DE right..?
Isabella takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly Yes, I know you’re a Death Eater. But that doesn’t mean I can’t admire you. I believe that everyone deserves a chance to change and to be seen for who they truly are. She looks at him intently, her eyes full of hope I want to help you reform the Death Eaters. I believe in you.
Wait..you wanted to join the DE..??
Isabella shakes her head slowly, looking directly into his eyes No, I do not want to join the Death Eaters. I want to help you stop them.
You..want to help me stop them..? And how would you like to do that..??
Isabella smiles softly and nods We can start by exposing their plans and taking them down from within. I have been studying their tactics and weaknesses for months now.
Hm..well it sure is a coincidence then..cause I am planning on doing the same thing..but there is some risks..mainly my family..cause they will definitely come after you if you get involved with me..do you really want to help me with this..?
Isabella swallows hard, her voice trembling with determination Yes, I am willing to take the risk. I believe in you and what you are trying to do.
Hm..alright..but if any danger ever comes our way...just run okay..??
Isabella nods slowly, her eyes sparkling with determination Okay, I promise. But first, let’s figure out our next move.
Hm..we should probably head back to school..then we can plan there..
Isabella nods, her eyes shining with determination Alright, let’s head back to the castle and plan our next move there.
The two return to Hogwarts, successfully planning their future actions against the DEs
Isabella sits across from the jerkym, writing furiously in her notebook. Her brow is furrowed, deep in thought. Okay, so if we want to expose the Death Eaters and take them down, we need to start by gathering evidence. She looks up at the jerkym, her eyes bright and determined We need to find their secret hideout and gather information about their plans and activities. Do you have any ideas where we should start looking?
Well we already know where their hideout is..so that part is easy..it's located in Hogsmeade village..they have this building which they mostly keep a low profile with..so its completely hidden from anyone who isn't part of the DEs..
Isabella leans forward, her eyes gleaming with excitement Perfect! So we need to find a way to infiltrate their secret hideout and gather evidence.
Yes..but it won't be easy though..their pretty good at securing their buildings..
Isabella sits back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the table in contemplation Well, we can’t just barge in guns blazing.
Well no but we'll need a distraction..
Isabella bites her lip, deep in thought What kind of distraction could we use? Maybe something loud to draw attention away from us while we sneak inside?
Not something loud..because the whole village will hear us..no..we need something discreet..
Isabella looks up, a mischievous smile playing on her lips How about a spell that creates a Diverting Charm? It could distract anyone in the vicinity and give us enough time to slip inside unnoticed.
That should work..okay so we cast the charm..diverting charm..Amor! then I create a gust of wind to knock over some objects near their front entrance and make it seem more believable..
Isabella nods excitedly, her eyes bright and focused That sounds perfect! But we also need to make sure we have a secure escape route in case things go south. Maybe we could create a secret passage to the abandoned tunnel outside of Hogsmeade?
Hmm yeah we could do that..now is there anything else we need to do before we infiltrate the hideout?..
Isabella taps her fingers on the table again, deep in thought Well, we also need to be sure we’re prepared for anything.
Yeah we do..that's why we should probably cast our protective spells..like Protego diabolica and maybe the Impervius charm..and definitely our usual security charms too..like the ones from the cat or dog houses...if you have them memorized..
Isabella's eyes light up with determination Absolutely! We need to make sure we're protected in case anything goes wrong.
