Chapter Fifty-Four, End of the Year and Snape's Pettiness Continues

Previously on The Soulbond of a Peverell:

As they breached the trees at the top of the hilly bank they could see an injured and passed out Sirius at the Lake's edge, a passed-out Luna and then there was Izzy. They could see she was struggling against the might of the Dementors and the memory they were obviously bringing forwards as she was shaking like a leaf and couldn't seem to hear them when they each called out to her.
"Stay back until I tell you." Andromeda ordered them once more as she made her procession down the hill when suddenly the area was lit up in bright blue-white light, so bright they had to shield their eyes. Spinning on her heel, Andromeda saw that Izzy had done it. She had cast a corporeal Patronus that was so powerful it was driving off over a hundred Dementors and was lighting up the area so brightly in its warm embrace.

As the light started to dim the three of them noticed that the creature that took the form of her Patronus was a stag.
"James." Andromeda whispered so quietly that Neville and Fred could have sworn they had misheard as the stag stared straight at them before it vanished. However, the second it did Izzy collapsed as if she was a marionette who had its strings cut causing the three to rush over to them. Andromeda wasn't even mad that they hadn't listened as there was no danger left to them as the Charm had been so powerful it had driven all the Dementors from the grounds. The second she reached them; Andromeda was waving her wand over the three of them in complicated motions assessing their health and whether the Dementors had kissed them.

They hadn't, they were okay.
"They're okay." Andromeda reassured the two worried boys. "They're just suffering from severe Dementor Exposure and need to get to the Hospital Wing immediately. Sirius is okay, the injuries just look worse than they actually are. Thankfully, he was in his Animagus form." She muttered the last part to herself as she created three stretchers floating in mid-air beside her, the two boys helping levitate the girls on to their own stretchers. "Listen to me boys," Andromeda said seriously. This past year she had taken her role as Head of Gryffindor seriously and had chats with all of her students regularly to determine whether they were okay not only physically but also mentally and emotionally, so she knew when one of her students was upset.

"Listen to me, they are going to be okay. They are not injured physically, but after a run-in with Pettigrew, using Ron as bait to lure Izzy out for what I dread to think, but that doesn't matter right now. What matters is being there for them as the Dementors would have pulled up memories that both Luna and Izzy wouldn't want to relive and that would leave a mark. You will also need to be there for Ron in the coming months as he is likely to blame himself."
"We promise." Neville and Fred agreed, nodding decisively as they followed their Head of Gryffindor back up to the castle where they were met with Headmistress McGonagall and Hagrid who hugged the two boys tightly, sniffing slightly.

When he pulled back the two boys were handed a Chocolate Frog each by a very worried Headmistress. The procession back up to the castle was silent as each of them were stuck in their own minds with both worry for the trio on the stretchers, anger towards the Ministry and worry for what Remus would do once he had regained his senses once the sun rises tomorrow. There were some things they needed clarifying on what had happened tonight but that could wait for tomorrow as all of the kids have had an ordeal and needed sleep. They knew, however, that this would not be the last time they saw Peter Pettigrew.

Chapter Fifty-Four, End of the Year and Snape's Pettiness Continues

The minute the sun had crested over the mountains, Remus threw on the clothes that Dobby had given him before he was storming the castle on a mission to head to the Hospital Wing while his mind berated him and offered him no reprieve from his self-deprecating thoughts. All he had in his mind was that he had changed so close to his daughter and to her friends. If Sirius hadn't aggravated Moony and caused them to fight then he couldn't even begin to imagine what the outcome would be; especially as he had raised his claws at his cub!. But then a memory floated through his mind causing him to stumble on the staircases: his cub threw a rock at him to stop his attack on Padfoot.

He remembered that Moony finally remembered and recognised her as their cub, but it had been a close call.
"Poppy! Melissa!" Remus shouted as he ran into the Hospital Wing, but the minute he saw the multiple beds full of Izzy, Sirius, Luna, Draco, Neville, and Ron with his leg elevated on a pillow. All of them seemed to be okay but were in a deep sleep; however that didn't lower his anxiety. He doubted it would for a while.
"Remus, they're okay." Melissa reassured him softly as if he was a spooked animal. "Neville and Draco are completely fine. Ron, thankfully, just has a broken leg from Pettigrew kidnapping him. Sirius' injuries look worse than they actually are, but other than that he, Izzy and Luna are just suffering from severe Dementor Exposure."

"Severe Dementor Exposure?" Remus breathed, feeling both confused but relieved that he hadn't hurt the kids, and that Sirius would be okay. He wrote off that Sirius more than likely would claim that he had worse when they were in school and first started roaming on Full Moons when he and James were in their Animagi forms.
"After Moony recognised Izzy and you ran into the forest, Izzy and Luna followed Sirius to the Black Lake where he passed out and they were swarmed by a Dementor Horde. At least over a hundred of them."

Remus' eyes widened with fear surging through him as his eyes darted between the three beds.
"They're okay, I promise Remus." Poppy reassured the worried man. "Sirius and Luna passed out, but Izzy, she fought valiantly against them. Remus, she cast a Corporeal Patronus and drove the over hundred Dementors away."
"Wha-?" Remus asked stunned, eyes trained on his peacefully sleeping daughter.
"Andromeda got to the bank with Mr Fred Weasley and Mr Longbottom just as she produced a stag Patronus that she said was identical to James' Animagi form." Tears appeared in Remus' eyes at Melissa's explanation.

"She said it was so bright they all had to shield their eyes as Izzy drove away the horde despite obviously suffering their affects as the Dementors attacked her and brought forward the memory of James and Lily. Afterwards, however, she collapsed and hasn't woken up yet. Sirius and Luna woke up late last night had the potion to fight the exposure and a hot chocolate each. We aren't worried about Izzy yet as Magical Exhaustion is expected from both their effects and the drain her Core suffered from the spell, let alone from it being that powerful."
"We don't expect there to be any lasting effects from the Magical Exposure as she is a very powerful little girl.

However, I would recommend that all three of them speak to a Mind Healer regarding what the Dementors have dragged up." Poppy recommended as she checked over Remus and healed his injuries he got from Sirius and himself.
"Thank you Poppy, Melissa." Remus nodded, chest heaving from relief as he sat in a chair in between the beds holding his husband and daughter. Poppy nodded with a soft smile, patting his shoulder as she went to ask a House-elf to bring Remus some light breakfast, the usual he had after every Full Moon. "What is it?" Remus asked noticing the uneasy expression on his friend's face. "Mel?"

"I'm so sorry Remus but Snape, he...." Melissa took a deep breath to not only gather her nerves but to also hold back her tidal wave of anger. She has never known someone to be as petty as Severus Snape. All because he didn't get the girl, he has been making the lives of her friends and Izzy's life a living Hell. She knew that he, Sirius, Frank, James, Remus and Pettigrew had been rivals while they were in school but that was twenty years ago! Two decades he has been stewing in his own hate for them, never moving on, never growing up. He had let his hatred of them to allow him to torment Izzy and Neville to such an extent that he was Neville's greatest fear.

Snape had allowed his hatred to not see how terrified Izzy was; which consequently let Pettigrew escape, capture Ron and allowed this whole mess to happen. While four of the five Marauders, as Frank Longbottom was also a Marauder, actually grew up, became parents. James even sacrificed himself for Izzy and Lily for Merlin's sake! He fought and held Voldemort off to give them a chance and then died thinking they had escaped. Sirius, despite being wrongfully thrown into Azkaban for a decade has shown some tremendous growth. He has matured and become the father that Izzy desperately needed. His whole meaning since he got out and had treatment in St Mungo's was to heal for Izzy.

Frank became a doting father and compassionate and dedicated Auror. And Remus, despite being the most mature out of the four was still an immature teenage boy at the end of the day and has matured into a wonderful man, friend, husband and Papa. Like with Sirius, Remus has become a father that Izzy needed and would obviously do anything for her. He was an incredible, kind and patient man and a dedicated Professor to all students who didn't play favourites – not even with his daughter in class – and Melissa was proud to be his friend.

"What did he do, Mel?" Remus asked with trepidation. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like this.
"As you know the Governors have agreed with Minerva's decision to terminate Snape's contract here once the school year ends so exams weren't disrupted but Snape decided he wasn't going to go quietly and told certain students who either had parents who had potion contracts with him, and students who were guaranteed to tell their parents about your condition. I'm so sorry Remus. Minerva and Augusta have tried to get on top of it, even working through the night to do so. But I'm afraid the damage has been done. Andy and Cissa recommends that you and Sirius sue Snape for slander as it is so petty."

"He knew he wouldn't be able to get Sirius fired so he chose to take me down with him too." Remus sighed, placing his head in his hands.
"Minerva, wanted to let you know herself but gave me permission to do so if I saw you first. She figured this would be your first stop before anywhere else. I need to go and check on them. Are you going to be okay? You must know that they don't want to..."
"I know." Remus reassured with a smile that was more of a grimace. "Can you please inform them that I resign so they don't have to. I was planning to do so anyway after last night. I was about to take the potion when Hagrid informed us that Pettigrew had attacked Ron and Dobby and kidnapped Ron as bait to lure Izzy to him. After that I... all I could think of was saving my daughter and her friends from him. I couldn't stand the thought that..."

"That is perfectly understandable given the circumstances, Remus." Melissa reassured her friend, crouching in front of him and squeezing his hands gently. "If it had been my Blaise in the position that Izzy was in and I was in your shoes, I wouldn't have thought twice about any potion I had to take. Blaise is my world and all I have left of my Alessandro, so I can easily place myself in yours and Sirius' shoes, in the position you, yourself was placed in last night. No one, and I mean that, absolutely no one blames you for forgetting your potion.

Not Augusta, not Cissa, not Xeno and certainly not Minerva or Sirius. And not Madam Bones. They would be the ones who would have any real reason to blame you, wouldn't they? Snape doesn't count before you say him, as he was the one who set this in motion in the first place. He tormented Izzy instead of asking her why she was so afraid and out of bed at that time, which allowed Pettigrew to escape and kidnap Ron before escaping again. He is now on a caution with Madam Bones as well."
"Probably why he was so bitter then and revealed my condition." Remus scoffed sardonically.

"Most likely." Melissa agreed. "Remus. Izzy. She tried to go after Pettigrew last night while you were transitioning." She added as she stood, casting a glance at the sleeping brunette.
"I'll speak to Sirius when he's awake and organise a meeting with Healer Fawley for her. Thank you Mel." Remus said gratefully, feeling more settled in himself now that he knew no one blamed him for what happened last night.
"Your welcome." Melissa smiled. "Eat your breakfast and rest, Remus. They're all okay. I'll be back shortly after I've checked on Minerva and Augusta and let them know of your resignation. If you need anything, or they need anything Poppy is asleep in her quarters, we've been taking it in shifts." With one last smile, Melissa Zabini left the Hospital Wing heading for the Headmistress's office while Remus ate his breakfast and rested, waiting for Izzy to finally awake.

***

"Papa?" Izzy asked groggily, spotting Remus sitting in the chair at her bedside reading with numerous new cuts all over his face.
"Izzy!" Remus exclaimed, jumping from his chair as if he had been electrocuted dropping his book and bookmark to the floor. But he didn't care about that. "Are you okay?" He asked at the same time that Izzy asked.
"Are you okay, Papa?" Izzy asked, her emerald eyes assessing him worriedly.

"I've looked worse, believe me." Remus reassured her lightly, perching beside her on her bed. But Izzy couldn't believe that as his face looked pale and waned, there were large black bags under his eyes and numerous cuts littering his face in various lengths and depths. "I need to tell you, sweetheart, that I've resigned."
"What? Why? Papa, none of us got hurt! Moony recognised me! I'm sorry I chucked a rock at you, Papa I just wanted you and Dad to stop fighting." Izzy whispered softly, looking down at her hands in her lap which were covered by Remus while his other hand gently lifted her head up to look in his eyes via her chin.

"We will be talking about that as you could have been seriously hurt if Moony hadn't recognised you." Remus said sternly before gentling his tone. "That is one reason as I forgot to take my potion when Hagrid told Sirius and I about Pettigrew using Ron as bait to lure you to him, but the main is that someone let slip the nature of my condition. Minerva and Augusta have been up all night receiving and writing letters...parents will not want a...well, someone like me teaching their children."
"But..."
"Sweetheart, they have already risked enough on my behalf. Besides, people like me are...well, let's just say that I'm used to it by now." Remus reassured her, squeezing her hands gently but it did nothing but anger Izzy on her Papa's behalf.

"THAT IS SO WRONG!!!" Izzy burst out angrily, she knew who had revealed her Papa's furry little problem, and she hated him more than she thought she was capable of. "They shouldn't treat you like that, and neither should you be used to it!" Remus couldn't help but smile as he let out a small laugh. "What's so funny?" Izzy grouched, crossing her arms across her chest.
"You remind me so much of Lily and James, is all." Remus told her, brushing a strand behind her ear which caused her anger to simmer away to nothing.

"They got so angry when I told them that as well. Speaking of James, I am so proud of you sweetheart. You created a Corporeal Patronus that was so bright and powerful that it managed to protect you, your Dad and Luna while driving off over a hundred Dementors all on your own. You have definitely given all of us a run for our money as we would never have managed to create one that powerful. I've already given you fifty points to Gryffindor – which Minerva agreed – as you did what we set out to do in our lessons, which was to create a Patronus. Andy told me it was a stag." A soft smile came to Remus' lips as tears appeared in both of their eyes.

The minute he spotted the tears appear in her eyes Remus moved to the head of the bed and wrapped his arms around her.
"I felt Daddy James with me, Papa." Izzy whispered sadly, clutching tightly to Remus' jumper. Completely ignoring the praise she just received.
"He will always be with you, baby." Remus reassured her, kissing her forehead. "If there is one thing I know for sure is that James will always find a way to protect you, and your Patronus taking on Prongs' form is that way."

"How's Daddy? What bout Dobby? Ron, Luna, Neville and Draco?" Izzy asked looking around at the vacant beds. "Why do I feel so tired, Papa when I just woke up?"
"They're all okay." Remus assured her, watching as the tension bled our of her shoulders. "Luna is talking to a Mind Healer due to the memories dredged up by the Dementors and will have to take the potion for Dementor Exposure for a few months like you and your Dad will."
"Her Mum." Izzy whispered sadly, her heart squeezing tightly for Luna. Remus nodded his head, handing her the said potion and a Chocolate Frog.

He watched shrewdly to make sure she drank it all before he continued. "Dobby was healed fully by Melissa. Neville and Draco are okay. They managed to get Ron up to the castle where they were met by Andy, Cissa and Fred. Cissa took Draco and Ron to the Hospital Wing while Fred and Neville joined Andy to get the three of you. Ron is fine apart from his leg which both Poppy and Melissa assure him, Arthur and Molly that it will heal properly as long as he uses the crutches for the remainder of term and rest it regularly. Your Dad's injuries looked worse than they were, thankfully, he has spoken to a Mind Healer as well, but at the minute he is with Madam Bones, Cissa, Andy and Draco.

As your Dad is Lord Black he is nulling the marriage between Cissa and Lucius as he's a danger to her and Draco with his ties to Voldemort. I've provided them the memory of Draco's Boggart being Voldemort. Sirius gave Cissa the option of living in the second Black manor, the one in Birmingham, and making it her own. She had the choice of living there, Potter manor or both. She decided to live with us at Potter Manor until the Black property is finished." Izzy beamed widely at that which made Remus chuckle.
"I can give the memory of when Lucy attacked me last year, Papa if it will help them get away from him. When he went to use the Killing Curse on me and only Dobby throwing him away from me saved me." Izzy suggested.

"Thank you sweetheart, I'm sure that will be a big help." Remus replied through gritted teeth at the reminder of how close he had come to losing her last year. "As for why you are so tired, cub." Remus started, pocketing the vial that contained the memory, so it was safe. "You suffered Magical Exhaustion from how powerful you cast the spell. Especially as it is usually wixen with mature Cores who can normally cast it. It drained you on top of the effects the Dementors had on you. You will be tired more than normal and will most likely eat and sleep for the next few days as your Core recharges, but it will heal as long as you limit your use of magic." Remus warned her.

"I think it would be a good idea to talk to Healer Fawley, what do you think?" Remus asked, knowing how much she has suffered because of Fudge's incompetence. Izzy nodded, agreeing with her Papa as she knew she needed to. "Okay." Remus kissed her forehead as he stood from the bed just as Dobby brought her some breakfast. "Eat your Frog and your breakfast and then get some more rest before you talk to Healer Fawley later. Everyone has been told to let you rest. I'll be back later with your Dad; I'm just going to give them memory. I love you, cub."

"I love you too, Papa. Are you okay, Dobby?"
"I'm perfectly fine Mistress Izzy." Dobby reassured her, patting her hand gently. "Dobby shall stay with her." He told them both, noticing the fear in her eyes. Remus nodded his thanks to the dedicated elf before heading towards the staff room.

***

"Izzy has given some evidence to help with the separation from Lucius so he can't buy everyone." Remus announced as he entered the staff room causing everyone to pause and turn towards them. "We all know Fudge is in his pocket. It's of when he went to use the Killing Curse on her at the end of last year when she tricked him into freeing Dobby. Dobby saved her, stopping the spell before he completed it by throwing him backwards down the length of the corridor."
"He used an Unforgivable Curse in Hogwarts on a twelve-year-old?" Madam Bones asked alarmed.
"Yes." Sirius agreed, remembering what Remus was talking about as he gritted his teeth in anger. The Grim howling within him, it demanded the blood of all those who threatened their pup. It demanded Lucius' blood.

"Right outside Minerva's office too." Sirius added, his silver eyes darkening to a gunmetal grey with his anger.
"Then yes, that will help." Madam Bones nodded; her lips pursed as she signed off on the nulling of Narcissa Black's marriage to Lucius Malfoy. She would make sure Narcissa and Draco got more than half of the Malfoy fortune. "I've already brought in a representative of the ICW to help with my investigation into the Ministry. It's time to flush out all of the incompetence, bribery and any Dumbledore and Voldemort supporters that are left. I'll make sure you and your son get more than half of the Malfoy fortune and that the Lordship still goes to your son, Miss Black." She informed Narcissa.

"Thank you Madam Bones." Narcissa said gratefully, relief surging through her so powerfully she was grateful she had her big sister with her.
"Your welcome, I'm sorry for all you and your son have suffered through at his hands." Madam Bones apologised. Once Draco had left to see Izzy she mentioned another matter. "The Goblins and Curse Breakers have informed me that they are looking into the remainder of Voldemort's Horcruxes. They did find a locket in the middle of a cave behind Dark, cruel and sadistic enchantments with Inferi surrounding the hiding place. They have all been dealt with, and the enchantments nullified so they can't hurt anyone in case a Muggle stumbles across the cave. However, the locket was a fake."

"A fake?" Andromeda asked confused, dread filling all of them as they feared it would take longer to get rid of those things. Get rid of all of Voldemort's ties to life, ties to this plane.
"Yes. Inside the locket was a note from Regulus Arcturus Black." Madam Bones revealed carefully.
"Reggie?" Sirius chocked, tears filling his eyes as he squeezed Remus' hand tightly. Madam Bones nodded as the three of Black blood shared a look. "Kreacher!" Sirius called; his voice tight with emotion.
"Master called for Kreacher?" Kreacher asked as he popped into the staff room.
"Do you know anything regarding a locket Regulus placed in a cave?" Sirius asked.

"Please tell us the truth as we need to destroy the real one in order to defeat Voldemort properly." He hastened to add when he saw the emotions warring on Kreacher's wizened face. Tears fell rapidly down the elderly elf's face as he answered.
"Master Regulus ordered Kreacher to destroy it before the dead things took him under the water. No matter how hard Kreacher tried, Kreacher could not destroy the locket. Like he could not stop the dead things from taking Master Regulus beneath the water. I failed Master Regulus, I'm sorry Master Sirius! Master Regulus ordered Kreacher not tell anyone." Kreacher sobbed.

He wasn't the only one who was sobbing as it struck a cord with all of them that Regulus had become one of the Inferi that the Curse Breakers had destroyed.
"He's at peace now." Andromeda whispered softly, her heart hurting as she thought of her little cousin. She knew this would affect Sirius more than either her or Narcissa as this was his little brother, they were talking about. She was just glad both brothers had made up before either had left Hogwarts unlike her and her own sisters. She knew Bella was too far gone, she was just thankful she and Cissa had made up and had each other now.

"T-thank you Kreacher." Sirius said in between sobs. Pausing to gather himself before he continued, he knew Andy was right though. "Do you still have the locket?"
"Yes Master Sirius." Kreacher croaked, nodded his head rapidly.
"Can you bring it here and give it to Madam Bones please, so we can destroy it. You haven't failed Reggie, Kreacher. You stopped anyone else from getting it and you just didn't know how to destroy it as they are hard to destroy. But the Goblins and Curse Breakers have the means to destroy it." The second Sirius finished speaking Kreacher disappeared before instantly reappearing with the locket encased in a thick led box.

"Be careful with it. It is a most evil object. If it touches your skin it will whisper to you and try to warp your mind. Keep it in this." Kreacher warned as he passed over the box to Madam Bones.
"Thank you Kreacher." Madam Bones nodded. "I will make sure they keep it in this box until it is destroyed. I'll head to Gringotts now, the sooner this is destroyed the better." She said in farewell before using the Floo Network attached to the staff room.
"I'm going to find my daughter and give her, her present." Sirius said after he had gathered himself, brushing off his tears after he had thanked and dismissed Kreacher back to the manor.

Picking up the package that contained her new broom - that also had a Hippogriff feather tied to the handle that Hagrid had given him earlier as a gift from Buckbeak - he headed for the Great Hall as he had a feeling that was there his daughter would head after her appointment with Healer Fawley.

***

Sirius' guess had been correct as the minute he had entered the Great Hall with Remus, Andy and Cissa they all spotted Izzy sat at the Gryffindor table with all of her friends (including all of the Weasleys, Neville, Kellah, Celeste, all of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Lee Jordan, Draco, Luna, Blaise Zabini, Daphne Greengrass and Susan Bones) surrounding her making her laugh and offering a buffer to the questioning glances and probing questions.
"Izzy!" Sirius called attracting her attention, hiding the broom behind his back.
"DAD!" Izzy exclaimed jumping to her feet she tripped over her own feet and would have fallen hard to the flagstones if Fred hadn't caught her.

A fond smile stole across Andy's face as she was reminded of her daughter so much in that moment. She had loved how the two girls had bonded over the summer sharing their love for their Metamorphmagus gift.
"Careful sweetheart." Andromeda chided gently as Izzy crashed into her father's arms, Sirius holding her tightly with one arm while the other held the broom behind his back.
"I have something for you." Sirius announced, pulling back to look at Izzy, a wide smile stealing across his face.
"You didn't have to get me anything Dad." Izzy mumbled bashfully.

"I know but go on and open it anyway." Sirius said excitedly, pulling the package from behind his back with a flourish making Izzy giggle while Remus, Cissa and Andy rolled their eyes fondly at the man. "You'll find that you need this." He watched eagerly as she placed it on the Gryffindor table as she ripped off the wrapping with Neville and Ron helping her much like they did in First year when Minerva had gotten her the Nimbus.
"It's a Firebolt!" George exclaimed excitedly.
"It's the fastest broom in the world!" Fred added eagerly.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!" Izzy exclaimed, bouncing excitedly on the spot as she hugged her Dad.

Spinning around, with her hair changing to a bright sunshine yellow with her joy and excitement, Izzy tied the blue-grey Hippogriff feather around the handle. She knew it had come from Buckbeak and therefore Hagrid.
"THANKS HAGRID!!" Izzy shouted, smiling widely at the Half-Giant sat at the staff table who beamed back at her, glad she was happy after the last few days, or rather this year in fact. Picking up the broom she ran out of the Great Hall towards the Entrance Courtyard with all of her friends, most of Gryffindor, and some Quidditch fanatics from other Houses following behind her. All of them eager to see the Firebolt in action.

"We're bound to win the Quidditch Cup, now!" Oliver said exuberated, almost as excited as Izzy was. Making those close to him laugh as that was just who Oliver was a big Quidditch fanatic, but he would never put that before his team, and especially not Izzy. She was like his little sister, and besides, he knew Fred would kill him if he did. If Angelina, Alicia and Katie didn't get to him first.
"I did good." Sirius grinned making his cousins and husband laugh and shake their heads at him.

But they couldn't deny the truth to that statement as this was the happiest they've seen Izzy all year. As they followed behind the students to watch Izzy they couldn't help but feel a weight lift off of their shoulders as they watched Izzy take off at a fast speed, the air filled with her screams of excitement and happiness. They knew she loved flying and felt free while she flew – exactly like James used to – so to see her so happy, so free after the traumatic year she's experienced; well there's no other word for it. It was such a freeing feeling that they couldn't help but to cheer with everyone else as they gently push to the front, standing alongside the Weasleys, Luna, Draco, Neville, Kellah, Celeste, Lee, and the Gryffindor Quidditch team. As they watched her rise into the air, barely able to see her now if it weren't for her bright yellow hair, but they could hear her. Hear her enjoyment, and that was everything to those who considered themselves Isadora Talia Potter-Black's family or loved ones.
