Chapter Fifty-Two, Full Moon Madness

Previously on The Soulbond of a Peverell:

At the lake while Izzy and Neville were being traumatised by Sybill Trelawney, Ron was setting up under the willow tree at the edge of the lake humming to himself to distract himself from his nerves regarding both the date and Pettigrew being spotted twice within the castle. Despite his words to his best friends, Ron was terrified, he just hadn't wanted to add to Izzy's fear that he could see clouding her emerald-green eyes. Even though, now that he was here at the lake by himself he realised that being alone was the stupidest thing he could have done and was also the reason why he had seen both Izzy's and Neville's fear increase. But if he knew his best friends, then he knew that Dobby was also here with him, so he didn't feel as exposed and alone.

"Why hello Ron." A sweet sickening but dangerous and squeaky voice said from behind him causing his back to suddenly go ridged and his hair to all stand on edge.
'Scratch that.' Ron thought as he spun on his heel pointing his wand at the disgusting man who had pretended to be a rat that Percy had found and who had cost his sister her parents and was the reason why she was dumped on the Dursley's doorstep, and why she was abused for a decade. That thought caused anger to boil within Ron like a volcano that he couldn't stop from erupting.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Ron snarled, his ears and face red as he faced down the Death Eater. "You're disgusting!!! HOW CAN YOU BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS!!" He shouted at the man who dodged his curse.
"You'll find that out for yourself." Pettigrew snarled at Ron, pulling out a wand. Where he got it from Ron didn't know and dreaded to think.
"NEVER!!!" Ron roared, sounding like a lion which was symbolic as at the beginning of the year he had taken a sweet that made him roar like one and won him the game he was playing with Izzy, Nev, Seamus and Dean. That symbolism wasn't lost on him, but he was preoccupied with apprehending this traitor at the moment.

He faintly heard a pop as Dobby materialised behind the trunk of the willow tree to his right with a hard glare directed at Pettigrew.
"I WILL NEVER BETRAY MY FRIENDS!! I AM NOTHING LIKE YOU!! YOU ARE A COWARD!!!" Was it smart to mouth off to a man who had escaped Azkaban, betrayed his so-called best friends to Voldemort, was tormenting Izzy and most likely wanted her for nefarious means and was a Death Eater? No. No it wasn't smart, not at all. Did Ron care? No. Not at this particular moment in time.
"You may not betray Izzy Potter, but you will help me get her." Pettigrew said in a dark tone, glaring at Ron.

"I will never help you!! Did you not listen the first time?!" Ron snarled.
"Oh, you will help me. You're the bait." Pettigrew smirked at Ron as the redhead's eyes widened in alarm.
"You will not hurt or take Mistress Izzy's Weazy!!!" Dobby shouted, running at Pettigrew with a battle cry. Pettigrew looked startled for a moment to find out that Ron wasn't as alone as he thought but then he laughed when he saw the House-elf running at him with a battle cry.
"No Dobby! Go back to Izzy!!" Ron protested.
"Dobby will not. Dobby promised Mistress Izzy to protect her Weazy!!" Dobby shouted, throwing Pettigrew away from Ron much like he had thrown his previous Master Lucius Malfoy away from Izzy the year before when he went to throw the Killing Curse at her.

"That's it!" Pettigrew growled as he stumbled to his feet, wiping the blood from his forehead, a dangerous gleam in his eyes. "I can work with this." He muttered to himself. "I can use you to pass on the message that her Weazy is bait and if she wants to see Ronald Weasley alive then she will come to the Shrieking Shack by sundown tonight or he dies. She can use the passage under the Whomping Willow to get in." The last thing Dobby remembered was being thrown backwards and crumpling painfully to the floor; he tried to get up, but his body would not cooperate. The last thing he heard before he blacked out was Ron's fearful shout of his name, and Dobby knew no more.

Chapter Fifty-Two, Full Moon Madness

"You'll never get away with this, you know! And nor will they fall for your stupid trap!" Ron told Pettigrew simply, trying to fight against the binds that tied his wrists and feet together. He was sitting in a once plump armchair that had been destroyed, much like the destroyed room they were in. He knew they were in the Shrieking Shack, apparently Remus used this for his transformation which had started the rumour of the Shack being haunted. Pettigrew had told him that Remus was a werewolf in the hopes to scare him, but he had failed spectacularly. He knew Remus, and he had never met a kinder nor more patient man than him. Plus he was Izzy's Papa, and he knew Izzy knew but didn't care and quite thankfully he didn't care either.

He wasn't about to judge Remus on something that wasn't his fault. For an infliction that was forced on him as a small child because his father just happened to anger the wrong werewolf who took vengeance on him via Remus. Nor was Ron going to judge the majority of wixens who just so happened to be werewolves on the minority, his parents had raised him and his siblings to treat everyone with kindness and fairness. A major lesson they had been taught was this: 'Judge people how you would want to be treated. If you want to be treated with kindness then you must do the same to others.' This reasoning had seemed to anger Pettigrew however, as if he hoped to turn Ron against them, but if that was the case then he had picked the wrong wizard.

"Oh, I think they will." Pettigrew smirked, his back was to Ron as he pointed both Ron's wand and (most likely) his stollen wand at the door but threw a malicious smirk at Ron over his shoulder as he continued, "if you haven't noticed Izzy seems to have a severe case of abandonment issues. Which means she will do absolutely anything to get you back. Even if it means her death, but, I don't want her to die...yet." At that announcement Ron's eyes widened as fear clouded his blue eyes, the colour he got from his mother's side of the family like Percy and Charlie while Bill, Fred, George and Ginny got their father's dark brown eyes. It was not so much fear for himself but more fear for Izzy.

"Do you not remember last year, Ron?" Pettigrew asked a dangerous edge to his voice. "You see, I heard all about how little Isadora Potter went into the Chamber of Secrets to save little Ginny Weasley and nearly died in the process. So I have no doubts she will do the same for YOU. In fact you best hope she does come." Pettigrew sneered towards the tall boy who just glared at him with fire in his eyes as his neck and ears reddened in anger.

Scoffing, he turned his back on the boy writing him off as no danger to himself, whether that was a dangerous and idiotic idea, remains to be seen. As it apparently didn't even cross Pettigrew's mind, all he cared about was capturing Isadora Potter so he could not only get his revenge on his ex-friends, and the girl, but to also take her to where he thought his Master was hiding so he could return him to power. And once he did he would be revered above all Death Eaters.

***

Draco had kept his promise to Izzy and had accompanied Izzy, Luna, Neville and Hermione to Hagrid's while Ron was on his date. He was a little anxious at first due to the tense atmosphere he could feel from Hermione who sat glaring at him, but the second he had arrived he had apologised to Hagrid for his behaviour the previous two years. It had surprised the kindly half-giant, but he had accepted Draco into his house with a warm smile and a cup of tea which had eased some of Draco's nerves.

"What's happened to make yer both so nervous?" Hagrid asked Neville and Izzy concerned.
"They were like this when we met them in the Entrance Hall." Luna told Hagrid. "I think it's because Ron refused to let someone go with him when he went to set up by the lake."
"He did what?!" Hagrid asked, looking out of his window as if he hoped he could spot the familiar redhead. "What was he thinkin'? He knows that traitor was in the castle!"
"That's not all." Izzy muttered; her knee bounced anxiously.
"What is it Izzy?" Draco asked worriedly.
"We bumped into Professor Trelawney," Neville started ignoring Hermione's scoff and annoyed eye roll. "Well, more like she grabbed Izzy's shoulder out of nowhere."

"She was nowhere near us. Then she suddenly grabbed me, and she didn't seem like herself, it was like she was possessed." Izzy added anxiety riddled and her hair a grey colour, but Hermione interrupted before she could continue.
"She was faking Izzy." Hermione sighed, shaking her head.
"YOU WEREN'T THERE!!" Izzy burst out, her hair rapidly changing until it was a mix of blood red with her anger and grey with her worry.

She took a slow, deep breath to calm down, once she was sure she was calm she continued. "She...she told us that, 'tonight the one who betrayed his friends, whose heart rots with murder will break free, innocent blood will be spilt and servant and master will be reunited once more.'"
"It was creepy." Neville added, just as anxious as Izzy and now everyone else after hearing that. "You...you don't think it's true, do you Hagrid?" He asked fearfully.

"Now, I'm-" Hagrid was suddenly cut off by a loud banging on his door. "Quick. Into the other room, go on. Go on." He whispered hurriedly to the five children in his house as he grabbed his crossbow. Without complaint they listened to him, but Izzy, Luna and Neville stood in the doorway with their wands drawn ready to help Hagrid should he need it.

"Fang protect them." He ordered his dozy dog who listened, jumping up from his bed to stand in front of Izzy and Luna growling at whoever was banging frantically on the door as Hagrid kicked open his door only to reveal...
"KELLAH!!! DOBBY!!" Izzy shouted darting towards a tearful Kellah who was holding Dobby in her arms. He was conscious but he had a cut on his forehead, and tears tracking down his cheeks as he twisted his ears letting out pain-filled yelps.

"What's happened? Dobby please stop hurting yourself." Izzy begged, flitting around her best friends, yes Dobby was considered one of her best friends, as she saw Kellah to her previously vacated chair and Dobby into the one beside it as she kneeled next to it so she could clean the cut.
"Dobby is sorry Mistress Izzy." Dobby wailed. "I failed yous. I tried to stop the bad man, but he knocked Dobby out and took your Weazy. Dobby is a bad elf. Yes he is."
"Izzy stop him! Don't let him hurt himself!" Hermione screeched unimpressed.
"What does it look like she's trying to do, Hermione!" Kellah and Luna snapped at the frizzy brunette.

While Neville made some more tea and Draco got a bowl of water and a clean cloth for Izzy, Luna and Hagrid tried to comfort Kellah and make sure she wasn't hurt while three of the four girls glared at each other causing Hagrid to sigh and order Hermione into the other room to calm down so he can find out what exactly happened. While all this was going on Izzy was cleaning and badging the cut on Dobby's head – which was luckily superficial – and trying to calm him down.
"Dobby I promise you, it's not your fault and I'm sorry I put you in such a position where you got hurt." Izzy apologised sadly.

"No. Do not apologise Mistress Izzy. Dobby was happy to try and help, otherwise we would not knows who took your Weazy or where he is, Dobby is just sorry I's could not stop it. I tried. He took Weazy into the Shrieking Shack and said you are to come to the Shack by sundown. It is a trap Mistress, before he took Weazy he wasn't hurt." Dobby squeezed Izzy's hands, offering her a small smile.
"I arrived couldn't have been ten minutes after it all happened." Kellah added. "The food was everywhere spilling from the broken basket and spotted Dobby unconscious at the base of the Willow tree. I knew you would be here Izzy, so I picked Dobby up and ran here. He came round on the way here."

Izzy's eyes were wide as she stood and paced in front of the fireplace deep in thought.
"Right." Hagrid said, shouldering his crossbow. "I want you all to stay in my house. I'll lock the doors so he can't get in while I hurry up to the school and let Headmistress McGonagall know what has happened. We will get Ron back I promise."
"But what about Ron?" Hermione protested.
"That is why Hagrid is going to see McGonagall." Kellah deadpanned.
"Aren't you worried; he's supposed to be your boyfriend!" Hermione shouted.
"STOP!!" Hagrid ordered loudly causing them all to stop what they were doing.

"Stop fighting. Hermione, stop picking fights fer a start. Do ya know wha'? Hermione, Kellah you both come with me. You four stay here with Dobby and Fang. Let's go." He nodded his head to the door for Hermione and Kellah to go ahead of him with an unimpressed look upon his face, but a small smile upturned his lips when Izzy and Luna pulled Kellah in for a comforting hug. The four remaining teens watched as Hagrid left after Hermione and Kellah, his eyes assessing all around him with his crossbow raised before they heard the door lock behind him.

They sat in silence as they made sure Dobby was alright but soon the silence became oppressive, and they couldn't take it anymore. When Izzy's magic reacted with her emotions and flung open the door of Hagrid's house.
"Okay. Okay, so how do we get to the Shrieking Shack before sundown, which is soon by the way." Draco asked, looking at Izzy, Luna and Neville.
"The bad rat-man said there is a tunnel beneath the Whomping Willow." Dobby explained.
"Of course there is." Neville sighed, shaking his head groaning, before he opened his eyes sharing a look with Izzy.
"Before you say anything, Izzy, we're coming." Luna stated, a firm look in her silver-blue eyes. Neville and Draco nodded their heads agreeing.

"After last year when you were nearly dying, and we just arrived in time...I can't go through that again...seeing you like that...I'm coming." Neville shuddered; he would never be able to get that sight out of his brain.
"So am I." Draco added. Izzy smiled tightly at them both thankful she had such friends that would stick by her no matter what, but she was also scared for them.

"Dobby, maybe you should stay here." Izzy suggested softly, biting her lip anxiously. "You have a head injury. It's a superficial cut but you have a pretty large bump. At least rest for a little bit." It was obvious Dobby didn't agree with that assessment, but he had to admit he did feel a little dizzy so he, rather reluctantly, conceded. He agreed to stay in Hagrid's House with Fang until someone came back and then he would be coming after them whether a professor went after them or not.

"Let's go." Neville nodded, leading the way to the Whomping Willow with Izzy and Luna in between him and Draco. As if the tree could sense their approach it came to life waving its limbs threateningly, almost uprooting itself in its attempt to hit them.
"How in Merlin's name are we supposed to get in there?" Draco asked incredulously, gesturing to the small hollow in the base of the trunk.
"I don't know, but we need to get in there to get to Ron!" Izzy cried. "Okay. I guess we have to dodge the limbs. Go!" as the smallest two Izzy and Luna were able to dodge the limbs a little easier as they got closer to the trunk.
"Move!" Neville ordered, throwing himself to the left with Draco close behind him while the two girls went to the right.
"Duck!!" Luna shouted, spotting a limb swinging towards them aiming for their heads.

Unfortunately, Draco and Neville weren't quick enough and struck in the chest sweeping them off of their feet where they landed hard on the ground winded. Before they could check on the boys Luna and Izzy had to quickly jump over a large branch that was trying to sweep them off of their feet.
"Are you both okay?" Luna and Izzy asked, concerned.
"Look out!" Draco and Neville cried alarmed, panting as they tried to catch their breath. Spinning around a second to slow Izzy and Luna were caught in the stomach by two separate branches but instead of being knocked to the floor they grasped hold of it and climbed on to the branch they held on to. The Willow, sufficiently annoyed, waved those branches through the others, whipping the girls in the face and shoulder as they were flung about as if they were nothing but a nuisance.

Screams wrenched the hair from the two girls as the sun started to set over the hills and mountains that surrounded Hogwarts' grounds. Watching helplessly from the ground Neville and Draco didn't know how to help the girls and could only dodge the branches trying to flatten them. They weren't making any progress getting to the base of the tree until Luna grasped a hold of Neville's shirt as she flew past on the branch and with a well-timed swing, swung Neville into the tunnel they had been trying to get into, before shortly flinging herself into the tunnel.

Eyes wide, Izzy copied what her friends had just done as she grasped hold of Draco and flung him – with aid of the Willow – into the tunnel. With a huge effort, as her grip was slipping from the blood coating her hand, cheek and forehead, Izzy flung herself into the tunnel with a scream as the branch she was on swung with increasing aggression.
"Oh! I'm sorry Draco." Izzy apologised, climbing off of Draco and helped him to his feet.
"No worries." Draco waved off. "Are you alright? Fred is going to love this!" He muttered dryly.
"Yeah I'm okay. Are you all okay?" She asked, getting nods from Neville and Luna.

"Yeah. Don't remind me." Neville sighed. "Be thankful that you haven't seen how overprotective Fred gets. Come on. Let's go get Ron." He added, pulling out his wand and casting Lumos so they can actually see where they were going and not tripping over themselves in the dark. The closer they got to the Shack the angrier Izzy seemed to get as her dark brunette hair turned to a dark blood red with steam coming off of it as they climbed out of the trap door in the lower halfway of the Shack. Everywhere was thick with dust apart from the drag marks and footprints leading from the trapdoor, upstairs to the master bedroom to the right of the stairs.

"Ron!!" The four teens cried relieved. In an armchair was Ron. He was mostly okay, apart from his left leg onto which he was clutching, letting out soft moans of pain. Izzy assessed it quickly and could easily tell it was broken.
"What happened?" She asked worriedly.
"No. No, Izzy! It's a trap!" Ron cried alarmed. "He broke it when I tried to attack him and escape when I loosened the rope."
"Where is he?" Draco asked, alarmed.

"Over there!" Ron cried, pointing towards the doors which slammed shut. Hiding between the bed and one of the double doors was Peter Pettigrew.
"If you want to kill Izzy you have to kill us too!" Neville cried, pulling Izzy back behind him, Luna and Draco. Even Ron held onto her from where he sat. Despite being small and kind normally, Izzy was filled with a rage that she has never felt before as she fought against the hands holding her back. She wanted to end the man that had betrayed her parents, who had framed her Dad Sirius for the betrayal and the murder he committed, for tormenting her for the whole year. She had reached her limit, but what had pushed her over was hurting Dobby and hurting and kidnapping Ron.
"She won't die...yet." Pettigrew simpered, a dark look in his eyes.

"All of you, however, well that is a different matter." He grinned when five fearful eyes faced him. "Who should it be first I wonder, hmm?" He raised both of the wands he had pointing from one to the other, when they heard two sets of feet pounding up the stairs. Knowing who it could be, Izzy did the only thing she could in these circumstances. She wasn't about to let any of her friends die, so she pushed to the front of her friends so she could at least try to protect her friends while also pointing her wand at Pettigrew.
"DAD!!! PAPA!!! UP HERE!!!" Izzy screamed, keeping an eye on Pettigrew and her wand trained on him, as the pounding became louder from their two rescuers picking up the pace.
"SHUT UP BRAT!!" Pettigrew shouted, slapping Izzy so hard he knocked her to the floor just as Sirius and Remus burst into the room.

"HEYYY!!!" Luna, Neville, Ron and Draco shouted, throwing curses at the man but he quickly ducked behind the grand piano causing the spells to hit the bed posts collapsing the canopy.
"Peter!!" Sirius snarled, sounding like his Grim Animagus moving himself in front of the kids with his wand pointing at the traitor while Remus helped their daughter up. "Is she alright, Remus?" He asked, not taking his eyes or wand off of the traitor.
"Yeah she's okay." Remus reassured his husband. "His nails just caught a cut that was already there, how did you get it?" He asked his cub.

"The Willow." Izzy replied, hugging her Papa tightly for a moment. Once she released him he moved to the other side of the piano blocking Pettigrew against the wall while Izzy between her friends and the door but didn't take her eyes off of the traitor monitoring his every move.
"Izz!" Pettigrew cried, a glint in his eyes that showed he wanted to rub salt into the wound and he knew exactly how to do it. "Look at you. You look exactly like your mother, but with your father's hair colour. James and I were best friends in school." Izzy stepped back pain in her eyes, unknowingly blocking the door at Pettigrew's escape which he noticed causing a glare to form on his face for but a moment before it vanished.

"How dare you talk to my daughter, you little worm!" Sirius shouted, throwing Pettigrew against the wall. "You're going back to Azkaban, Peter, in the deepest parts of it. Where you got me thrown for ten years." Sirius snarled. "Which is exactly what you deserve for betraying James and Lily to Voldemort."
"I didn't mean to!" Pettigrew whimpered. "The Dark Lord. You have no idea the weapons he possesses!"
"That's a lie!" Ron shouted. "You used me as a bait so Izzy would turn up so you could kidnap her and take her away to use her to bring V-Voldemort back!"
"YOU WHAT!!?" Remus roared; a glimpse of Moony creeping closer to the surface in his eyes.

As Pettigrew went to open his mouth again, Sirius silenced him with a wave of his wand.
"Let's get you all out of here and back up to the Castle." Remus said tiredly, but he still had rage simmering in his eyes.
"Pettigrew broke Ron's leg, Papa." Izzy told him.
"All right, Draco, you help me with Ron. Remus will handle Pettigrew, and you three go in front of us." Sirius said to his daughter, Luna and Neville. The group of teenagers nodded and organised themselves to help Ron get down the stairs and make the slow journey back up the tunnel to the Hogwarts' grounds.

"It's okay Ron." Neville reassured his friend. "We're nearly there. Just rest here for now." He gestured to a large tree root that Ron could perch on to let the pain go off for a moment before they made their way up to the Castle.
"The Willow?" Ron protested, gingerly perching on the root while looking up at the tree as if it would start beating them all for getting too close.
"It's been paralysed with the Immobulus Curse." Sirius explained, passing Ron his wand back. The wand Pettigrew had was in Remus' pocket, but that didn't stop Pettigrew from trying to fight against Remus' grip on his coat. "Are you okay, baby?" Sirius asked as Izzy had been rather quiet. As she went to answer, the Full Moon suddenly peaked out from behind the clouds.
"DAD!!" Izzy said, alarmed, pointing to the Moon which also attracted Remus's attention to it.

"Remus! Remus, have you taken your potion tonight?" Sirius asked, alarmed as guttural screams tore from his husband, his pupils were blown wide, and he was shaking. "You know the man you truly are, Remus! This heart is where you truly live! Here! Our cub is here! Think Remus! Remember our cub!" Neville and Draco got Ron up between them, shaking while Izzy noticed Pettigrew dive for her Papa's dropped wand.
"Expelliarmus!" Izzy shouted, but she was too late. Pettigrew had transformed and was making his escape.
"No, Izzy." Luna protested, pulling her back when she went to run after the traitor.

"RUN! RUN!!!" Sirius shouted fearfully as Remus fully transformed, throwing him away from him.
"Go. Go." Izzy whispered to her friends while Moony was distracted whining from the pain of the transformation, who shook their heads refusing to leave without her.
"Papa? Moony? It's me. Izzy...your cub." Izzy said softly, slowly approaching him but when he threw his head back taking a deep sniff of the air as he howled at the moon she jumped back afraid. "Go." She whispered pleadingly to her friends while she slowly backed away as Moony approached them growling.
"No!" her friends all protested.
"Nice doggy. Nice doggy." Ron pleaded as Moony raised his large paw with his claws extended preparing to swipe at Izzy when Sirius in his Animagus form barrelled into him causing Izzy to fall backwards in shock.

Acting quickly, Luna helped her to her feet, pulling her back towards the boys where they all stood there huddled together terrified. As a means to distract Moony Sirius as Padfoot bit his paw trying to pull the werewolf back away from the scared teenagers, away from their daughter. But Moony didn't take kindly to that as he attacked Padfoot, swiping and biting (sometimes with locked jaw) at Padfoot, and even throwing him into a rock. Not able to stand there doing nothing while her Dad is whimpering in pain, Izzy ran forwards ignoring her friends calling after her and picked up a rock and threw it with all her might at her wolfed-out Papa.

As he came barrelling towards her, Izzy remembered what she had learned in class and howled like a wolf which made Moony slow down his run and lower his claws. He stood there assessing Izzy for a moment, so she used it to her advantage.
"Hi Moony. I really hope you remember me as I'm your cub. Isadora Potter-Black or Izzy. I love you so much Papa and I want you to know that no matter what happens tonight that will never ever change, I promise." Izzy promised before she ended her ramble with another howl. She really hoped this worked, as Moony just stood there assessing her.

Just when she was about to give up hope on it working Moony lowered to all four paws...took in a deep breath as he crept closer, taking in Izzy's scent...then he started whining as he looked pitifully at Izzy.
"It's okay Papa. It's okay." Izzy reassured him with a soft smile, letting out a deep breath of relief. Moony whined once more before he ran off into the forest in the opposite direction of the lake that was directly down the hill from them.
"Well done, Izzy." Luna praised from behind her before arms wrapped around her in a big hug. "The boys have gone up to the Castle as Ron needs his leg checked out and gone for help."
"Thanks Moon." Izzy smiled, hugging her friend once more until they heard whining.

Looking over to the direction it was coming from they saw Padfoot fall into the bushes and when he rose once again an injured Sirius took his place before he fell down the hill.
"DAD!!" Izzy shouted fearfully, running after him with Luna following her. When they caught up to him he had collapsed beside the lake bleeding from multiple wounds. "Dad! No. Dad!" Izzy shouted; only to pause when she saw vapour come from her mouth and for the Black Lake to start freezing over. "Luna go!" Izzy ordered, trying to blink back the darkness as that NIGHT started to play in her mind. Luna shook her head as she tried to stem Sirius's bleeding, as her Dad came round for but a moment to gasp in horror; over a hundred Dementors were starting to swarm around them.

Author's note: DO NOT ask me to update in any way shape or form. There are other ways of telling me what you thought of this. Anyone who does will get one warning before they are blocked.

Before anyone says anything there will be no execution for Buckbeak as Draco listened to Hagrid as he didn't want to lose his friendship with Izzy that was just building.

Also, things are starting to speed up which means there are two more chapters left of Izzy's third year before we are on to Goblet of Fire. Will everyone hate her? What about Fleur, Cedric and Krum? Do you think they will hate her for 'entering the tournament' or will they believe her, guess we'll find out soon.
