Sabrina's eyes widened. "You know where she is? Craven took her?" She suddenly couldn't breathe. "Well, what are we standing here for? We should go after them! I can't just sit here while my sister is being held by that monster!"

"Sabrina, just calm down for a second," said Rori. "Voldemort? What does he want with Natalie," questioned Rori. "Well I say we go because we can't let him take anyone else or let alone kill them."

"I don't know." Landon said, shaking his head in response. "Shouldn't you be here for when Isabella has her baby?" He asked Rori, undecided about whether they should go or not. "Not that I don't want to save your sister, Sabrina, but maybe we should just leave it to Dumbledore and Voltaire and them to rescue her?" He suggested.

Rori sighed. "Well, Anna and Emily are in there," said Rori. "Sabrina will go and we can't stop her, so we might as well go ahead with her. Let's go ahead and go before I start trying to talk myself out of this."

"If you say so..." Landon said, figuring that Rori was right anyways. Sabrina was going to go no matter what and there was no point in letting her go alone. "Wait, there's one problem. How are we going to go? We're too young to apparate, let alone the fact that we can't apparate from Hogwarts property anyways."

"Good question," said Rori. She thought about it for a few seconds. "Hey! Why don't we just go on our brooms? I mean, that's basically the only way we can go, other than walk."

"And considering that I don't think this place is anywhere near here....I think I'd rather not walk. But flying sounds like a good idea. As long as Sabrina's comfortable with that." Landon replied, looking to Sabrina.

Madame Pomfrey conjured up two fans that she charmed to fan Isabella. "Right now given that you're early, I don't want to put anymore un-due stress from a cooling charm." she explained " You should also try shifting your hips, maybe that will help to move along your progress, You're nearly done, then it's the easy part." she said with a small smile to put Isabella at ease. Meanwhile she went to her potions cabinet and took out the necessary potions and salves. She was glad now that she had the fore thought to get these specific potions made, as her mother had always said "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!" she said aloud good notedly.

"OK," Isabella murmured tiredly. She tried to adjust her hips a little and found that moving was very difficult. She breathed heavily through every movement and tried to let the air from the fans cool her off.

Poppy set up a small table near Isabella's bed and then conjured a small bassinet. she also lined it with a white blanket, it would change colours as soon as the infant was laid in it. usually Mother's kept it as a memento. She checked Isabella again and found that shifting was a very good idea, she was fully dilated and she said "Ah! well the next contraction you get bear down and push, only till my count alright dear?" she said shifting Isabella's bed to more of an inclined seat. "We might as well let gravity help!" she said noticing Isabella's expression of shock.

Isabella nodded. "I can't believe it's time... it's so soon..." It felt like just yesterday that she had come in to see Poppy about the morning sickness. And just a short time later, she had laid in the hospital wing, telling Voltaire that she was having his baby... She had become accustomed to having Bubble inside of her, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like to actually hold him. "I wish Voltaire was here," she murmured softly. She felt almost selfish for wishing him there, when he was off rescuing Natalie. But she was also afraid of him going back to headquarters. The last time he'd been there, Voldemort had tortured him brutally. She couldn't bear to think of him hurt again... and what if he didn't come back?
Just then, another contraction rocketed through her and she let out a loud cry and began to bear down and push. "Here it comes..."

Pomfrey counted down ten seconds slowly. The first push always seemed the longest. She checked Isabella's progress and said "Ok, you've done well! Now at the next one, again!" Isabella was progressing quickly! it seemed that in no time Her baby would be crowning and after that it should be very soon after.

"OK!" Isabella cried, panting heavily. "How long should it be before the next one comes?"

"You'll know before I do sweetheart!" said Madame Pomfrey holding Isabella's hand for the moment. "The second you feel it coming you tell me and I'll start counting, you have to hold it until i finish, or you'll just exhaust yourself." she said seriously.

Isabella nodded. "OK, Poppy, I.... Oh.... here comes another...." she gasped as another contraction began to grip her. She felt like she was being folded in half.

Once again Pomfrey counted again, she checked Isabella and found that the child's head was crowning. She was surprised to say the least, It seemed Isabella only just floated in but she had been in labor for nearly an hour and a half. "Ok dear the next push will be a little push." she said as she conjured a contraption that looked like a syringe.

"OK," Isabella said tiredly. She pushed, not as hard as last time. "What... what is that for?" she gasped, seeing the contraption in Poppy's hand and feeling a bit alarmed.

"It's to suction out the fluid that might be in your child's mouth and lungs." said Poppy and when Isabella asked her baby's head emerged. "Look Isabella look down!" said Poppy excitedly, she opened the baby's mouth and used the device to remove some fluid and she said "Ok next push come on Isabella!"

"OK... OK..." Isabella panted. The next contraction hit her and she let out a loud cry and pushed one more time. Tears stung her eyes as she realized she was about to meet her child for the very first time....

The shoulder came first and then the rest of the baby came, Poppy took the baby to the bassinet and rubbed a salve over the baby's thin skin, The baby let out a mewling sound, It's first cry. She checked over the baby with several spells and then took up another bottle of potion, she carefully measured two drops and placed them on the baby's tongue and then cast a warming charm on the blanket she had prepared for the baby. She measured the healthy baby at Twenty one inches and the baby weighed 3.719 kg. Poppy then wrapped the baby up and placed the baby on Isabella's chest, the blanket hadn't changed colours yet. "You should breast feed now, that way the baby will get the colostrum." she said gently as she waited for the after birth.
