Isa!

[Gideon Prewett]

What's this?
Gideon Prewett - nervous.
Oh, the shame.
Where's Isa?
I needed to see Isa.
Why wasn't she here?
She should be here.
Even if she thinks I'm dead and probably has no business with being in the entrance hall right now, she should be here.
"Isa..." I mutter.

[Isabella Knox]

I walk down the stairs into the Entrance Hall.
I had been in the Library but i'd suddenly felt a big urge to go and stand in the entrance hall.
I don't know why, it was as if someone was calling me there.

[Gideon Prewett]

"Now, that can't be..." I say, smile tugging at the corners of my mouth. "Isa Knox, is that you?"

[Isabella Knox]

I look round at the sound of a familiar voice, 'it couldn't be Gideon's, it must be Fabian' I think as i turn around.
I see Gideon standing in the entrance hall, beaming up at me.
'Right that's it, i've officialy lost it' I think as i feel my legs buckle underneath me at the sight of him.

[Gideon Prewett]

"Whoa there, little lady," I say, stepping forward to catch her before she hits the ground. "Not pleased to see me?"

[Isabella Knox]

"Yes i'm officaly mental." I think outloud, as this...my illusion seems to catch me. It couldn't be Gideon, he was dead right...?

[Gideon Prewett]

"Well, no need to say it out loud. Everyone already knows." I grin cheerfully, setting her on her feet again.

[Isabella Knox]

I back away slightly, why was my mind being so cruel, showing me things that were impossible. "You're dead." I say, confused. I wanted to believe that it was Gideon, but it was just...impossible.

[Gideon Prewett]

My smile falters a little. "Geez, Isa, I know it's been a while, but I'm not dead. Look," I take her hand, and make her prod me on the side of the face. "Do I feel all rotten-like to you?"

[Isabella Knox]

"But Fabie said...........oh right, this is some kind of cruel joke isn't it." I say, backing away. Expecting one of the marauders to appear and tell me that i 'should have seen my face'.

[Gideon Prewett]

"Who would be cruel enough to do that?" I say, face hardening. "Life and death are not laughing matters."

[Isabella Knox]

I nod slowly, could it really be Gideon. Back from the 'dead'. "Gid, is that really you?" I ask uncertainly.

[Gideon Prewett]

"Nah," I say sarcastically. "I'm a sausage. Yes, it's really me." I smile.

[Isabella Knox]

Before i realise what i'm doing, i jump up and hug him tightly, afraid to let go incase he was just a figure of my imagination.

[Gideon Prewett]

"Oh, I missed you." I murmur, hugging her back.

[Isabella Knox]

"I-i missed you too." I whisper, not wanting to let him go.

[Gideon Prewett]

I hold her very very tightly. "Believe it's me yet?"

[Isabella Knox]

"I want to." I mumble.

[Gideon Prewett]

"So, believe it. Look, I'll-...I'll prove it-...uh-...Got it!" I let go of her, rolling up my sleeve to show her the scar on the very top of my shoulder. "See, remember, Fay gave me this by accident that time? Remember? It's me, Isa. It's me."

[Isabella Knox]

I look at the scar, then back up at him, then back at the scar. "It is you." I say, slowly and quietly, not really knowing what to do with myself.

[Gideon Prewett]

"And it sinks in!" I grin widely. "Aren't you pleased to see me Isa? I'm so pleased to see you."

[Isabella Knox]

My smile falters slightly, i was so pleased to see Gideon. But all my old feelings came rushing back, but they seemed to get mixed up with my feelings for Ricky. I look up at Gid with a blank expression on my face. "Of course i am." I say honestly, but still confused.

[Gideon Prewett]

I tilt my head to one side. "What's wrong?" I ask concernedly.

[Isabella Knox]

"Nothing." I say shaking my head, trying to stop thinking about Ricky, for now. I look up at him grinning "I'm so glad you're alive."

[Gideon Prewett]

"You and me both." I say, face cracking into a smile again. "God, you have no idea how old I feel, being back here though."

[Isabella Knox]

"Oh don't say that." I grin "It reminds me that i'm leaving this place this year."

[Gideon Prewett]

"Aw, aren't you all grown up now?" I tease, pinching her cheek lightly. "So, how have you been keeping lately?"

[Isabella Knox]

"Yeah i have grown up a lot since you and Fabie left me." I laugh "I've been.....alright." I say, thinking of the right word, since some things had been good and some things bad, i'd settled with alright.

[Gideon Prewett]

"Only alright? Nobody's been giving you trouble have they?"

[Isabella Knox]

"Maybe a few people." I say honestly, but not wanting to go into more detail. This was a happy moment, i didn't want to spoil it.
