Isabelle twirled for herself in front of the mirror. She was wearing a light green knee length dress, because she couldn't be bothered with her Hogwarts robes until she absolutely needed to put them on. She stuck her tongue out at herself and smiled at her reflection. Her long brown hair hung around her head and her deep brown eyes shone happily back at her.

"Isabelle," her mom called from downstairs. "Come on, it's time to leave for school!" Isabelle grabbed her trunk and thunked it down the stairs, until it came to a thud at the bottom.

"What are you wearing?" Her mother studied her with her pale green eyes. She took in her light green dress, her black and green flipflops and her single green glove. Finally she just rolled her eyes and motioned Isabelle out the door.

Isabelle put her trunk in the trunk and slammed it shut. Then she slid in to the passenger side seat and closed the door behind her. As her mom got in a backed out of the driveway Isabelle checked her watch; 10:15.

"Mom we have plenty of time." They had forty five minutes to get there and get on to the train. "Relax, you don't have to be in a rush all the time."

"I just don't want you to be late," came her mother's reply. But Isabelle disagreed with her; her mom always hurried things and always arrived early to everything. Isabelle, on the other hand, was usually late. She took her time and made sure fun came first. But sometimes, she needed to be serious.

"I won't be late," Isabelle said with an eye roll. "Can we stop someplace and get some hot chocolate?" She eyes a Caribou Coffee and her mom sighed before pulling in to the drive-through.

"One hot chocolate and one cappuccino please?" She ordered and drove to the next window at the man's command. She paid for them and handed Isabelle her drink before taking her own. Then she rolled her window back up and continued driving to Kings Cross.

They arrived at quarter to eleven and Isabelle thought her mother looked anxious. "Mom calm down," Isabelle said. "We're not late." Her mom looked at her for a second before smiling. "You're right Isabelle."

Isabelle got her trunk out of the trunk as she was thinking, of course I'm right. She closed the trunk and the two of them walked into the station. Isabelle looked at the signs. Eleven, Ten, ah there it was, platform 9 and 3/4. Isabelle ran at it and went through the wall onto the platform, second later her mom joined her.

"Izzy, come here!" Isabelle looked over and saw one of her friends, Alyssa Munroe, running toward her. "Izzy come on, let's go." She tugged on her arm and Isabelle smiled at her mom.

"Bye mom, love you." Then she ran off with Alyssa, to go wherever she wanted her to go. She didn't look back, but if she had she would've seen her mom looking at her with a worried expression on her face, holding her hand over her heart.

Naw, thanks, luff
So, Isabelle? Does she have any relation to Ella??? Or completely new character?
I'm assuming Slytherin? Loving the descriptions by the way! t
This part made me chuckle.
Tehe, I think that constantly.
Uh oh, why is she thinking that?
Oh, is her mom Ella? I just thought of that...

Fantastic start! Please PAMS!

Interesting story, and start! Sticking around for more!

She's thinking that because she knows what going to happen...and yes, Ella is her mom. There'll be a few chapters from her PoV...I think. I haven't really planned very far ahead

me too, I think it sounds

Thanks luff

Hmm, should I read the one before this with Ella to understand? *is slightly worried*

Ooh, the trunk, trunk.. Hehehe! And the single green glove, that sounds so, inventive

Pams please?

I don't think you'd have to. But the Ella parts might make a little more sense. If you want to read it it's here.

Awwwwww! That was an awesome story! So I'm positive this will be just as awesome, if not more so!

When Alyssa finally let go of her arm Isabelle saw what she had been talking about. Lily and Nikolai were locked in some kind of stare-down. Isabelle marched over to them and waved her arm in front of Lily's face, causing her to blink. Lily put her hands on her hips and glared at her.

"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed. "You broke my concentration!"

"What exactly were you trying to do?" Nikolai walked over to them with a haughty look on his face. Isabelle looked between her best friend and her boyfriend.

"Trying to beat him," Lily said with a shrug. Nikolai looked amused and Isabelle rolled her eyes. Lily and Nikolai were always competing, each of them wanted to win.

"Come on." Isabelle grabbed onto Lily's arm and half-dragged her onto the train. She finally found an empty compartment and she led Lily in, followed by Nikolai. She plopped down onto the seat and Nikolai sat next to her, while Lily sat across from her.

"It's so good to be back," Lily said with a smile. She leaned backward and put her feet on the seat next to Isabelle. "I really missed Hogwarts. This year I'm the only one of my silbings in Hogwarts. It feels weird." Lily had two older siblings who had gone to Hogwarts previously. The middle child in her family of three had just graduated last year. His name is Albus, yes Albus Potter. Yes, that would make her Lily Potter.

"I feel good to be back too," Isabelle said. Nikolai nodded in agreement and slung his arm around her shoulders.

"It's weird being away from Hogwarts," he agreed. "But I like being at home, no matter how hectic it is." Nikolai was the oldest in his family, with ten younger siblings.

"I would rather have a lot of siblings than have none," Isabelle said. She was an only child and often wished for a sibling. Especially a younger one, she loved little kids. She thought they were so cute!

"I like my family just the way it is," Lily mused. "Not too many siblings, but it would be lonely to be an only child." Isabelle nodded, "It is."

After a few hours they were getting restless. The food trolley had been by about an hour ago, and they had candy, but even that didn't hold them over for long. Suddenly the train rolled to a stop and the three exchanged a glance.

"Why are we stopping?" Lily sat up and looked around. "It's not time for us to be there yet." They had a good two hours at the least until they arrived at Hogwarts.

"I don't know," Nikolai said. "Let's go check it out." He stood up and slid open the door when a scream echoed through the train. The three of them exchanged a worried look, and a second later Nikolai's sister, Josey, came running toward them.

"Nik, the train was stopped by people wearing dark cloaks. Annie said they were Death Eater, but they can't be. The Death Eaters are gone, aren't they?"

"Josey, go get Charlotte and Nathan and bring them back here. Go quickly, and be safe. Understand?" Fourteen-year-old Josey nodded nervously and ran off. Nikolai, Isabelle, and Lily stayed where they were until Josey came back with the younger ones. Charlotte was twelve and Nathan was eleven.

"Niko, what's going on?" Niko was what his siblings called him, they had since they were little. Isabelle found it amusing, but now was not the time to laugh at him.

"We don't know Char," Nikolai said. "But don't be scared. Now come on, we'd better go out there." He took Nathan's hand while Josey took Charlotte's and the four of them walked down the hall. Isabelle and Lily followed not far behind them.

"Fred!" Lily cried out suddenly. She ran forward and engulfed her youngest cousin in a hug. He was a first year, like Nathan, so this was his first day of Hogwarts ever.

"Lily! Fred! Isabelle!" Right behind Fred were Molly and Lucy, Lily's cousins who were twins. They were both sixth years, like Isabelle, Lily and Nikolai.

"Hi guys," Lily said. "Do you have any idea what's going on?" They shook their heads simultaneously. Isabelle continued down the hallways and, after a moment, everyone else followed her.

She got to the door, but didn't want to go all the way oustide. If those people really were Death Eaters, then she didn't want them to see her. Isabelle peeked out cautiously, and could just barely hear what they were saying.

"We did it," a woman said. "We successfully stopped and conquered the Hogwarts Express. We have gained control of them all."

"We then, what are we standing around here for Jade?" A man's voice asked. "Let's go conquer them." They started heading toward the door and Isabelle ran back into the train.

"We need to hurry," she said. "Gather all the first, second, and third years in one place, preferably in the back of the train. Then get all the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh years together. We need to protect them and defend Hogwarts."

"We're on it," Nikolai said. He herded his siblings back and Isabelle ran off to find the younger kids.

WHOA! WHOA! IS THAT JADE?! Aieeee! Panic attack

And Lily, and Fred awww. cute.. But, curious as to what is going on!

I figured as much when I saw the name Lily
Not good, not good, not good.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!! JADE?? I thought she turned out to be good??

Please PAMS!! Fantastic post, and I'm anxious to find out what happens next!

I love your reaction's

Loved the chapter!

"Everyone line up!" The Death Eaters burst onto the train in a fury. Lily was standing at the front of the train with Isabelle, Nikolai, and Alyssa. She was momentarily glad her brothers weren't at Hogwarts anymore, but then she went back to being terrified.

"It'll be okay," Isabelle said softly. "Whatever happens, we'll all stick together." Lily sent her a brief smile before turning back to the Death Eaters. They were streaming all over the train.

"Stupefy," Isabelle said. She sent her shot at a Death Eater who was trying to drag a fourth year off the train. Seconds later a dozen Death Eaters were on her and Lily lost sight of her.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Lily was having a hard time fighting off her own Death Eaters, but she was managing. She couldn't let them get back to harm the younger kids. Everyone who was a fourth year or older was fighting on the front lines.

"Charlotte! What are you doing?" Lily spared a glace at Nikolai and saw him running toward his sister. She had snuck over from where she was supposed to be. She was only a second yearm this was too dangerous for her.

That second she had been distracted had been a second too long. A Death Eater grabbed her arm and Lily yelped in surprise. She instinctively punched him in the face and he was confused just long enough for her to wiggle out of his grip. She cursed him before being grabbed by two more Death Eaters.

They each grabbed one of her arms and one of the took her wand. "No!" Lily screamed. She tried to wiggle out of their grasp, but they were hanging on too tight. They dragged her off of the train, with Lily trying desperately to get free. Suddenly they stopped and Lily saw that they were standing in front of two guys who were guarding a trailer.

"What is your name?" One of the guards asked her.

"L..Lily Potter," she managed to say. She realized that she should have said a fake name, but she realized it too late.

"Potter?" The guard studied her before looking at the two guys holding her. "Bring her to Jade, she'll deal with this one."

It's not good to spare a glance at the momento...
SEE! That's what happens!
Good ol' Muggle brawl
Oh, c'mon, Lily! You must know not to drop the name Potter in front of Death Eaters!
This is not going to be good.

Fantastic post! Please PAMS!

Loved the chapter! Really awesome! Also, noticed your avatar, love it too! Last Sacrifice is the bomb! Nice job with the chapter!

JAADDEEE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Oooohhh, Lily c'mon! Should-a said you were a Malfoy! j/k, that would have been amusing though.. And I love the punch, hehe.. That made me smile! AWESOME awesome update! Still in shock 'bout Jade though,

Isabelle had no hope of escaping all those Death Eaters; there were too many. But Isabelle was not one to give up, she fought all the way. But eventually they overpowered her.

Two of them grabbed her arms while another one took her wand. Isabelle saw no point in screaming, so she stayed silent and went quietly. The eventually got her off the train and brought her over to two guards.

"State your name, age, and House," one of them told her his hand poised over a clipboard.

"Jessica Munroe," she said. She had to think for a split second so sh didn't say her real name. But none of them seemed to notice. Age sixteen, Ravenclaw." She didn't think they's be very appreciative of her if she was in Gryffindor.

"No one important," the guard with the clipboard said. "We're still looking for Isabelle Malfoy; we have strict orders not to harm her."

Isabelle was brought into some type of trailer with other kids in it. When the doors closed she was fuming. She had been smart and changed her identity, but it probably would have been better to be herself.

"Isabelle! Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Isabelle looked around for the source of the voice and saw Nikolai standing in one of the corners.

"Nikolai!" She ran over to him and tackled him in a hug. "I'm alright, are you okay? Where's Charlotte?" She realized that she hadn't seen the girl in the trailer thingy.

"I'm fine," Nikolai assured her. "They got me, and they almost got her. But she's so small she slipped out of their grip and ran off down the train. I don't know where she is now."

"I hope she's okay," Isabelle murmured. Then the trailer jerked forward and started rolling forward.

Lily was dragged into a forest, and after a lot of walking they came into a small clearing. A woman was standing in the middle of it. She had tan skin, and long, flowing black hair. When she caught sight of them she looked at the sharply with her green eyes.

"Who is this?" She demanded. "Why are you bothering me with her?" I know she's not Isabelle." Isabelle? Was this woman talking about her best friend.

"Jade, this is Lily Potter." The woman, Jade, looked at her with renewed curiosity. She walked over to where they were standing and studied her with her hands on her hips.

"So, you're the daughter of the famous Harry Potter?" Her voice had a hint of bitterness that Lily did not like.

"Umm...no?" No luck, they already knew who she was.

"Take her to the village, but put her in the special room." She gave the two men a knowing look and they dragged her away.

***

Lily found herself in a small room with blue walls and no window. She walked over to the door and pulled on the handle, but she had no luck. Lily sighed in frustration and turned around to really look at the room.

There were two twin beds with a small table with a lamp on it between them. In the corner by the door there was a wooden rocking chair. Next to one of the beds there was a closet; Lily walked over to it and opened it.

What surprised her the most was the fact that there were clothes in the closet. There were many dresses in varying colors, all of them seemed to be about her size. There were also button-up long sleeved shirts and khaki pants.

On the floor of the closet was a pile of blankets. Lily saw that behind the blankets were a couple of pillows. The beds already had pillows though, so they would be useless.

"Unhand me!" Lily backed up abruptly and spun around to face the door. Her hand instinctively went for her wand, until she remembered it had been taken.

Two Death Eaters pushed someone into the room before slamming the door behind them. The boy pulled on the handle, desperately trying to get it open.

"It's locked," Lily told her cousin, and one of her best friends. Hugo turned to face her, his face streaked with dirt and his nose streaming with blood.

"Oh my gosh! Are you alright?" Lily grabbed one of the shirts and pushed it against his nose. Hugo took it from her and held it there. His eyes slowly swept through the room and he took in every detail. Finally he walked over to one of the beds and sat down on it; after a moments hesitation Lily sat down next to him.

"I'm fine," he assured her. "I got in a fight with a Death Eater because he was trying to take Fred. Almost instantly I was surrounded by them and they pushed my into the dirt. I don't know what happened to Fred though." They exchanged a worried look. But a moment later the door opened again.

Molly and Lucy were pushed into the room and they fell to the floor as the door slammed behind them. They picked themselves off of the ground and walked over to their cousins.

"Where are we?" Molly asked. Lily and Hugo just shrugged, they had no idea where their little room was located. Actually, it wasn't really a room, more of a building. The room wasn't inside a bigger building, the door led outside.

"Well wherever we are it's filthy," Lucy declared. "Hugo, you're filthy too. You need to get cleaned up."

"Yeah, that's gonna happen," he said dryly. "Or maybe you haven't noticed, but there's no water here. There's no food here either, I wonder if their planning on feeding us."

"Of course they are," Lily said with a frown. "They can't leave us here to starve us."

"In case you haven't noticed, they're Death Eaters," Hugo pointed out. "And they have every reason to, especially for you Lily. With you here, they can now blackmail Harry. With you as a captive, he'll do anything they ask him to."

Lily sighed; he was right. She prayed that her brothers and the rest of her cousins were safe and out of harms way. She prayed that they would be given food, and she prayed to be out of there. She opened her mouth to say something, but she was interrupted by the door opening.

One Death Eater herded a very frightened looking eleven-year old into the room before slamming to the door. Lily rushed over to Fred and gave him a big hug.

"Oh Freddy, I hoped they hadn't gotten you. Are you alright?" He was the youngest of them all, and he looked so scared. Of course, Lily had no right to judge, she was terrified too. We all were.

"Lily, I'm tired," Fred said. I could tell that he was trying not to fall asleep on his feet. It was about the time we would've retired to out common rooms, and it seemed like the day had been a lot longer than it actually was.

"Okay Freddy, I think we should all get to sleep." I assessed the room again. It seemed like we would need the extra pillows and blankets after all.

"Fred and one of the twins can take the beds," Hugo said, he stood up.

"No, you can take the other bed," Lucy said. "You're hurt." She pushed him back onto the bed and left no room for questions. The twins went to the closets and threw all the extra pillows and blankets onto the floor.

Lily took Fred's hand and led him over to the remaining bed. She had an urge to tuck him in, but he was eleven. She always seemed to forget that he was older than he used to be, like her brothers with her. Fred climbed into his bed and gave her a small smile.

"I'll be fine Lily," he assured her. Lily nodded and managed a small smile back before she helped Molly and Lucy set up three beds on the floor. When they were done Hugo turned off the lamp and the room was flooded with total darkness. Lily closed her eyes, not expecting to get much sleep that night, but she fell asleep almost instantly.

Loved the chapter!

Thanks

Attention: I'm going to California all next week, so I won't be able to post. I'm going from LOTS of snow to sunny California...

Aww! I love the updates! It's kinda sad though!

Have fun in Cali!!!

Charlotte looked out at the scene just a few feet in front of her. A Death Eater was duelling with an older student. She was about a fifth year, Charlotte recalled that her name was Natasha. Charlotte couldn't tell who was winning, but she thought the older girl needed some help.

"Stupefy," she said, pointing her want at the Death Eater. He couldn't see her, so he was taken completely by surprise. The Death Eater dropped to the ground and Natasha looked around warily.

"Who's there?" She called. She looked around with her wand held high. "Show yourself!" Charlotte crept out from her hiding spot and into Natasha's sight. The older girl lowered her wand and looked at her.

"What is your name?" She asked. "And how old are you?"

"My name is Charlotte Johanassen, and I'm twelve years old. I'm in Gryffindor," she added as an afterthought.

"Johanassen?" Natasha asked. "So your Nikolai's little sister? And Josey's?" Charlotte nodded and Natasha looked around. "Do you know where we are? Where is everyone else is?"

"They were taken by the Death Eaters," Charlotte said, with a wave of her hand toward the unconscious one in front of them. "We're someplace behind the train. If we stick around we'll get found eventually. Either they'll come looking for us, or he'll wake up."

"Come on then Charlotte," Natasha said with a smile. "Let's go find someplace to hide. Someplace where we can stay for a while." The two of them started walking into the trees.

"By the way Charlotte, my name is Natasha White. But you can call me Tasha. I'm a fifth year, and I'm in Ravenclaw."

"Nice to meet you Tasha," Charlotte said with a shy smile. They got to a large tree and turned into an area with lots of bushes to hide in.

Oh my, sorry I missed so much! I went on vacation and didn't have internet access!

Fantastic posts by the way! I wonder what's going to happen to Hugo and Lily and all of them, and then the others in the trailer thingy AND what Charlotte and Tasha are going to do after hiding wears off...? It's quite intriguing! Please PAMS!

Lily woke up when the light was turned on. She instinctively put her arm over her eyes to shield them from the bright light. Who the heck had turned it on? She rolled over and opened one eye, revealing a woman with shoulder length dark black hair. Lily knew that if it had been longer it would be curly and quite beautiful. It was very pretty as it was, but the image was ruined by the cold look in the woman's green eyes that were meant to be warm.

"Wake up," she snapped. "All of you! Up at once!" Lily decided that it would be best to obey this lady. She scrambled up from her spot on the floor and, moments later, her cousins joined her. Hugo had dried blood on his face and clothes.

"Are you okay?" Lily whispered, almost inaudibly to him, and her gave her a small nod. The woman saw them and stomped over to them with sharp anger in her eyes. "No talking! Be silent and listen to me." She paced back and forth in front of the line they had made.

"My name is Jade. I am in charge here and you will obey me, understood?" They nodded nervously and Jade looked satisfied. "Now all of you, come with me." She opened the door and motioned for them to follow her. Lily took Fred's hand and they filed out of the room.

The sight in front of them looked like it used to be the smoking remains of a village. Now it just looked kind of crispy and depressing. Lily squeezed Fred's hand, but she didn't know if it was for his benefit or hers. Jade led them to a large area in the middle of the village with a platform in the middle.

"This is where all the kids will be meeting. So stay right here. Be warned, there is a huge electric fence going around this entire village, and guards stationed every few metes around the fence. Even if you run, you can not escape, and we will drag you back." She gave them one last glare before turning on her heel and walking away.

"Do you think everyone from the train is here?" Hugo asked. Lily considered it, but Molly answered before she could. "I don't think so," Molly mused. "At leat, not everyone."

"Yeah," Lucy agreed. "I think some people escaped. Someone will come to rescue us."

"I don't think so," Hugo said bitterly. "Even if they could find us, they'd never get in here. You heard Jade."

"Hugo, don't be so negative," Lily scolded. "Remember; when life gives you a hundred reasons to smile, show life one reason to smile. Look on the bright side."

"What bright side?" Hugo did not seem to get the message that he was upposed to be positive.

"Well, she told us the security of this village," Molly started. "Yeah, now we know how to get out," Lucy continued. "We just have to get passed an electric fence and security guards," Molly finished.

"Well-" Hugo started, but he was cut off when two trucks pulled in. Lily, Hugo, Molly, Lucy, and Hugo huddled close together and watched them warily. The back of the trucks opened and people spilled out. They were all students, ranging from first years to seventh years.

Suddenly Lily gasped and her cousins looked at her in confusion. "Isabelle!" Lily ran forward before Hugo could grab her arm and hugged her best friend tightly.

"Lily!" Isabelle exclaimed. "Lil are you okay? Oh my gosh, Hugo!" Izzy ran toward Lily's cousins and inspected Hugo's face. "Hugo, are you alright?!"

"I'm fine Izzy," he assured her. "Well, a good as anyone would be in this situation."

"And what is that exactly?" Nikolai came up behind her and put his arm around her protectively. "Where are we?"

"Some sort of village," Lily answered slowly. "That's what I've gotten from what I've seen. I think it was abandoned a while ago. The Death Eaters must have found it."

"Isabelle," Lily said. "I think they're looking for you." Lily saw her friend nodding thoughtfully.

"I think so too," Izzy said. "They said they needed to find me, and they weren't allowed to harm me. I wonder why." She thought, but could not figure it out. She was brought out of her thought by Jade's voice.

"Attention to you all," Jade said. "You will be living in this village until you come of age, which will vary for you all. After that you will go to jobs we approve. You'll all get room assignments, most likely with any siblings or other family. Now, here are the other people who will be in charge here. Of course, I'm the head of this place."

Three people walked up onto the platform by Jade. One was a boy with sandy brown hair and dark blue eyes. Two were girls; once had long sunny blonde hair, and the other had brown hair that was cropped short.

"Oh my God." Izzy's hands flew to her mouth. "Mom."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what does she mean by "Mom"?? Is she seriously going to put others through this?! Haven't they learned their lesson of right and wrong when they were there?? I mean, hello! They were sent to kill Ella's mom!! This is seriously...not right. And I highly doubt Harry and everybody else are going to step aside and let it happen, especially when their kids are involved...

Fantastic post! Please PAMS so we know how everything is going down. And by going down, I do mean this new Death Eater regime thingy! It needs to end, like now!
