Evangeline Lestrange||Slytherin Princess

"Bella wait, please!" Marcus called after Isabella when he saw her in the library, she was avoiding Adam's twin for a week now. "Please!" He sighed, looking sad.

The tiny girl stopped and turned to Marcus. "Hi." she squeaked.

"Hey." Marcus smiled, he stepped closer and embraced Bella in  warm hug, she loosened up and hugged back. "I'm so sorry for what he did to you. You didn't deserve it, Bella it's not your fault and I'm here for you. I've cut all my ties with Adam." Isabella looked back, frowning. "What's wrong?"

"He's your twin, Marc, you're his best friend." She said sternly.

Marcus shook his head. "No Bella. Ever since I saw you in Malfoy Manor when were just four, you stood up to Adam when he pushed Scorpius, I knew then you were an amazing person, even though you and Adam were more like twins than me and him were, you did what was right, and when Adam tried to blame me for breaking the tapestry in first year you said it was you and you took detention for 5 weeks. When I wasn't invited to that party in third year but you, Adam and Zara was, who stayed behind with me to make sure I wasn't just the other twin. You, Belle. You were a better friend to me than Adam has been a twin, I refused to forgive Adam, he hurt my best friend."

Isabella couldn't help smiling, she jumped on Marcus hiding her tears. "You're actually the best friend." She muffled in his dark hair. Bella's hair was lightning and slowly turned pink.

"I love bubblegum." Marcus smiled. "Come on your dad must be waiting for us to do herbology, we're late."

"Crap. I left my books in the common room." Isabella cursed. "Right, you tell my dad that I'll be two minutes and save me a set of pliers, I'm in a pair with you!" She cried running off to the dungeon.

"Stop running Isabella!" Hissed Snape's portrait. She dismissed him and spoke the password and got into the dungeons and grabbed her books, her owl was sitting on the largest chair and hooted whilst dropping a letter onto Isabella's books as he swooped across and flew from the dungeons. "You're gonna be late, Longbottom." Snape sighed as she passed his portrait once more.

"I already am." She muttered, sliding into a secret staircase, leading her out of the castle and to the greenhouses, where she met her dad, hands on his hips.

Before Mr Longbottom could open his mouth, Isabella darted passed him. "Hey, that was quick, whats this?" Marcus asked, picking up a letter with blue ink pressed on it. 

"Oh, that." Isabella pondered. "I don't know, snitch dropped in on me, lets open it after the dissection."

Marcus nodded, and they got to work, finishing first, as Isabella was so talented. "Well done, you two!" Neville beamed at his daughter, who has yellow puss on her robes, he brushed it off. "10 points to Syltherin."

"Thank you, sir." Marcus smiled.

"Right class, once you have finished, do dash onto your next lesson, we're running late!" Neville called, dismissing the class.

Isabella pocketed the letter and walked off with Marcus towards divination with the Gryffindors. "What do you think it is?" She asked, Marcus shrugged. "I'll open it tonight." She sighed shoving it deeper into her pocket.

"Bells!" Roxy Weasley smiled hugging her friend. "Feels like forever since we've talked!" Isabella smiled.

"Are you okay?" Isabella smiled. James and Fred walked over to the pair, making Marcus feel unwelcome. "Hi boys." She greeted them.

James immediately drew his wand upon Marcus, making Roxy to squeal. "What are you doing here Flint?" He snarled. "You're meant to be expelled!"

"James! This is Marcus, jeez!" Isabella shouted, James lowered his wand, blushing intently.

"Sorry." He muttered.

"Only now have I realised that I never introduced you all to Marcus." Isabella grinned. "Roxy, Fred and James, this is one of the best Slytherins you will ever meet!" Marcus blushed and the twins said hi, James ignoring him. "Marcus, you know Fred and James I'm guessing, This is Roxy, her dad is like best friend with my mum." Marcus smiled warmly at Roxy, she looked down her cheeks the famous Weasley red.

Fred stepped forwards. "So Marcus, you play Quidditch?"

Marcus shook his head. "Unlike my twin, I'm awful on a broom." All four, looking mad, shivered at the mention of Adam. "Sorry." Marcus said quickly. "Me and Adam don't talk since what happened with Bella, I'm not on his side. " This comment made the Weasley twins warm up to Marcus greatly. However, James still didn't like Marcus.

The group settled down and got sorted into pairs, James got sorted with Isabella, and much to Roxy's secret joy she got paired with Marcus.

"Children, one person from each pair, collect and orb." Came a very old Trewenlany. Isabella seized the moment to question Roxy as she dismissed herself from Marcus. 

"You like him!" Isabella grinned. 

Roxy look both mad and impressed as she crossed her arms. "Isabella, we both know that's not true."

"Nope." The Slytherin jeered, they were hushed by the professor. "I'll talk to you later about it, Rox." Winked Isabella as she picked up a round, cloudy ball and walked over to James who was sleeping. She didn't wake him. rather she looked at his face. For the first time she saw beauty in James, could it be?

Do I like James?

Isabella shook the thought off, jabbing James with  pen. "Uh, oh Bella, sorry." He smiled, laying his arms over the couch him and Isabella were sharing, she leant back lettimg herself feel the warmth and strength of James. "You alright?" He asked, she nodded. "What on earth are we doing?"

The lesson was over quickly, and so was the week. Isabella watched Roxy and Marcus speed off together and couldn't help but feel like she was being replaced.

"Well that's my sister gone." Fred sighed, joining Isabella and James. "We all know what she's like when it comes to boys. She got my uncles charm."

"She denied it to me." Isabella smiled punching Fred's arm playfully. 

He shook his head. "She's probably just testing the water before diving in, oh well I need a shower, see you at the feast?" He hugged Isabella with one arm, and started to walk. "You coming James?" James lingered.

"One minute, I'll catch you up!" He called.

"What do you want James?" Isabella smiled, James held her hand, making her shiver at his touch.

"I just wanted you to know how happy you're making me, spending time with us and being with me. I just love being around you, you make me a better person." He smiled awkwardly, making Isabella blush. She did something so crazy for her. She kissed James slowly and sweetly on his lips, then she stalked off into the night, smiling so much.
