After crying in the Room of Requirement for more than an hour, Isabella finally managed to pick herself up off the floor and compose herself enough to leave. She walked out of the school slowly, passing some students along the way, who began to whisper amongst themselves at her shocking appearance. By the time she reached the Three Broomsticks, she was about ready to collapse from exhaustion, but she still walked up to the bar. "Firewhiskey," she said. "Leave the bottle."
Madam Rosmerta eyed her appearance for a moment. Her hair was tousled and tangled, her face pale as death, and her eyes were red and swollen. She was even still wearing the same clothes from the night before. The woman hesitated to give her anything at all, and Isabella gave her a withering glare. "NOW!" she said loudly.
Madam Rosmerta jumped and went to get the firewhiskey and a glass. When she placed them in front of Isabella, she grabbed the bottle, dropped 20 galleons on the counter top, and retreated to the darkest, most isolated table in the place. She opened the bottle and began to drink, hoping that soon she wouldn't feel anything at all.

Emily walked into the three broomsticks, the past two days had been hell and she needed a drink. Stopping just inside the door way she saw in the corner Isabella looking terrible and drinking out of a bottle. 'I guess her days have been worse' she thought looking at her. She walked towards her and said "Do you care to share or should i get a bottle too?" she said looking sympatically at her.

Isabella looked up at her through bleary eyes. "Whatever," she said in a shaky voice. "With any luck, I'll pass out before I can finish this one anyway."

"What happened? what made you this way?" she asked sitting across from Isabella. "Are you this way because of what happened to the children?" she asked reaching out towards Isa.

Isabella took a long sip from the bottle, then finally looked at Emily, firewhiskey still dribbling from her lips. "I guess that's aprt of it, yeah," she said. "But the real reason..." She let out a sob. "He left me! The only man I've ever loved--the only person I've ever loved... he left me. We had such a terrible fight, and he said such hurtful things..." She dropped her head down and buried her face in her hands.

Alastor walked into the 3 Broomsticks. He needed a drink. He sat down at the bar.
"Butterbeer please." Alastor said to Madam Rosmerta.

Isabella looked up again, hearing a familiar voice but not really caring. Instead, she took another long drink from the bottle and gave a weak smile at Emily. "I knew I should have cut down on the firewhiskey... I'm too used to it and it's taking me too long to get drunk. I don't want to feel anything anymore."

Emily looked at Isabella sympathetically. "I'm really sorry," she said, knowing it didn't help at all. She knew that Isabella and Voltaire had probably been involved and she wondered why he had decided to break up with her. Did it have anything to do with the attack on the kids? She knew Isabella had been as much against that as Voltaire had, so she wasn't sure what the problem was. "What happened? Why did he leave you?"

"It's... complicated," Isabella said. She realized in that moment how alone she really was. She couldn't confide in anyone. She had no where to go. If she told Emily why Voltaire had left her, then Emily would know that Voltaire had switched sides. She didn't know the girl well enough to know how she would handle this information. She was angry with Voltaire, but she couldn't bring herself to betray him. If the Dark Lord found out, Voltaire was as good as dead. And if not him, then Rori or Anna.
Yet if she confided in someone else, then that person would know she was a Death Eater, which could lead to her being sent to Azkaban. Once again, she thought miserably, she was between a rock and a hard place. There was no one she could talk to--no one but Voltaire. She let out a fresh sob and took another long drink from the bottle.

Alastor's ears, which had been getting sharper ever since he became an Animagus picked up two voices, one that he recognized as Isabella's. He turned and looked over his shoulder to see her speaking to another woman.

Emily switched sides of the table to sit next to Isabella. "There has to be a reason Isabella! Was he just toying with you?" she asked getting mad at Voltaire! How dare he! she placed a hand on Isabella's back and patted her. "Come On, drinking like that won't help any." she said trying to take the bottle away.

Alastor took another sip of his butterbeer and decided to walk over to Isabella to see what was wrong.
He walked over to her and asked, "Is this seat taken?"

Emily glared holes into the guy. Right now wasn't the time for random men to be walking up to a distressed woman!

Isabella pulled the bottle away from Emily. "It may not help, but I don't care. He had a reason, a good one, and I can't explain it to you..." She dimly recognized Alastor and let out a groan. "Oh, and I suppose you're here to gloat now, are you? How just days ago I was acting like a lovesick puppy and now I'm falling apart? How much would you have given to see me this way back at Durmstrang?"

"I'm not here to gloat. In fact, I came over to be a friend and see what was wrong." Alastor said. "Actually I wouldn't have wanted to see you like this at Durmstrang, if you've forgotten I liked you back then."

She took another long drink from the bottle; it was now half empty. "Yeah, I didn't deserve it," she said. "And I didn't deserve him. He left me. My father was right, I'm worthless." She let out a pitiful sob.

"Now don't say that!" emily was at a loss of what to do next "You're going to make yourself sick Isabella, what do you mean you didn't deserve it? to be dumped? I say you weren't!" she said still trying to clam Isabella's sobs.

"Isabella, I think it's time you stopped drinking." Alastor said taking the bottle away. "It won't help."
