An old but rustic cottage with wooden shutters. It is surrounded by vast area of forest and you almost don't recognize it when you're going past because there's a large maple tree in the front. Its front door is a brick red with the brass numbers engraved on the left side and there's a stone path that leads up to it. Overall, it's a little shabby but not a bad sight. |

Ringo coughed and waved the thick smoke out of his face while he rustled up his dinner that night. The meat was only burnt a little but his cooking had improved vastly over the past couple of weeks. He waved his long fingers and the charred bits vanished. Carrying it over to the wooden table, he pulled off a small piece and fed it to his new bulldog puppy that Seraphina had given him. Eddie, who had been dubbed by Sera since Ringo wasn't good at names, ate it quickly and then wagged his stubby tail at his smiling owner. |

Ringo carried a large bucket out of his shed while Eddie followed him, his tail wagging like it had a mind of its own. The half elf reached the tree in his front yard and without the use of magic, he started to collect maple from out of a small opening in the trunk. A drop landed on the puppy's nose and he licked it off in less than a second. Ringo finished and then placed the bucket on a low but sturdy branch before scooping up Eddie and giving him a gentle hug. "I bet Gem likes dogs too..." he said, smiling at his own which licked one of the old scars on hsi wrist. A sunflower had bloomed next to the front porch and he spotted it, his eyes widening in surprise. I'll give it to her... he thought, carrying Eddie over in one hand and pulling it out of the ground slowly with the other. |

A tall young honey blonde of 23 appeared through a gathering of bushes pushing her way through after hacking through them with a silver dagger that she stowed away on a hilt upon her belt. Her emerald eyes searched through the thicket her delicate and petite features thrown into relief by the silver moonlight her face slightly round and over all a pleasant sight to see. Isabella Cole pressed on through the dark forest inhaling the damp soil beneath her feet and the smell of moss that was coming from the trees surrounding her at 3 in the morning. She walked along an invisible trail she seemed to be following heading a certain way her mind on tan gentleman who's deep rumbling voice filled her with an odd sense of hope, who's warm doe like eyes filled her soul with the warmth beyond that felt by any one other then those who knew what true love was, who's smile brightened even her darkest days and chased away the dark demons of memories that haunted her mind when left alone for too long. The man in whose arms she wished she was now held by him instead of hugging the wool knit sweater close to her thin body over her t shirt and jeans as she walked through the dark forest trying to keep the late night chill out. The man whose token of love and evidence of betrothal to her shone on the ring finger of her left hand gleaming in an array of white and cerulean in the full moons light. Isabella Cole sighed at the thought of her beloved and dear Seith and his raven locks of hair as she continued to stroll through the first coming to halt when she found what she was hunting for, mushrooms! She was unaware of the house nearby that held someone she was sure she would not be too pleased to see. |

Eddie woke up with a small whimper at the sound of the howling wind outside. He struggled to get his pudgy body onto Ringo's bed and he started yanking at his sleeve. The half elf yawned and gave the bulldog puppy a quick pat on the head before turning over. Eddie barked, a little taken aback. "All right..." moaned Ringo before getting up and putting on his brown cloak. "Of all the times you have to go..." He fastened the leash onto Eddie and opened the back door. Going to the usual spot behind the maple tree in the front yard, he skid to a halt when he saw the dark figure of a woman a feet away. "Oh, marvelous..." he mumbled, assuming it was one of the deatheaters. Not now, not at this hellish hour. |

Isabella picked a few mushrooms tossing some aside as she looked at the gills beneath. She smiled as a silvery light shone o her and she slipped about ten of them into a tan sack she used to keep their magical properties intact. She was about to pocket them and move to another spot when she sensed someone nearby. She had been too busy thinking of a certain time with Seith in the Library and was completely unaware of what was happening around her. Once she ahd come to her senses and felt the presence of another she slowly tied the sack to her belt not looking up as she paced her breathing and heart, she reached slowly to her hilt of the dagger and grasped it tightly in her hand and unsheathed it silently hiding the blade so the moon light didn't gleam of it and give her possible attacker an advantage over her. She looked up and squinted at the figure clearly shorter then her, "Who's there?" She called said in a low voice and kept the blade hidden ready to go from defensive to offensive in a flash of need be. |

A tired scowl crossed Ringo's face. Who did this woman think she was, trespassing on his area and taking his shrooms without asking. Unfortunately, Eddie had bitten the leash in half and went waddling towards the stranger, sniffing the hem of her robes. The bulldog puppy sensed she wasn't dangerous and he wagged his stubby tail happily, giving the young woman a swift lick on the hand. "Eddie!" the half elf snapped and rushed over to snatch the puppy up so the unfamiliar witch couldn't hurt him. "What are you doing here?" he asked in an indignant squeak. "It's 3 in the bloody morning." |

Isabella couldn't make out who it was but could tell it was wither a small child or a very short grown up, judging by the voice it was a grown up and he wasn't alone a small dog had bound up to her and licked her free hand. She smiled down at it and wanted to pet it but only after she was sure she was clear of any danger. "Picking mushrooms at the full moon past midnight to preserve their magical properties." She answered truthfully hoping to stall him if he was foe and stay on good terms if he was friend. "and what about you?? why are you up at this hour?" She asked curious sure she heard the voice before. Curiosity gripping ehr she moved closer the moonlight shinning on her face as she looked at his, "Richard!" She said in surprise then anger flooded her when she remembered what Elijah had told her. |

"Are you now? Well, those happen to be mine and I'm only up because my dog had to...er, well you know what I mean." Ringo hissed, defensively and tried to keep a firm hold on the squirming puppy in his arms. He glanced back at the tiny but refined-looking house in the distance to make sure she didn't have any backups trying to break in. He might've been acting paranoid but he didn't trust this lady, especially since he couldn't see her very well. Despite having the eyes of an insect. He was a little startled when she called him by his name and squinted. The moon reflected against the pretty girl and his already large eyes widened when he recognized her. "Isabella?" he squeaked, feeling his stomach give a slight lurch of panic. |

"Oh are they!" She said undoing the string to her sack that held it to the belt of her pants and handed him the bag. "well then here you are I didn't mean to take them from you." She said apologetically as she handed them over to him. Upon realizing who it was she felt a surge of anger rush through her as sh stepped towards him and sheathing her dagger in the front of her belt once more as it glinted in the moonlight. "Yes Isabella!" She said glaring at him. "Why are you here? Why aren't you in Azkaban?" She hissed unable to contain herself, the mere thought of the crimes he committed made her want to attack him but she refrained as she waited for his explanation. |

Ringo snatched the mushrooms away without saying anything and glared back at her. "Because--because I'm just not." he replied, still not quite used to how much he had changed since the last time Isabella had seen him. He was through with his life of murder and stealing on the streets but he wasn't sure whether he wanted to admit it to her. It might've made him appear spineless and he didn't feel like trying to convince her he was good. Not at 3 in the morning. "Ferget it. Just leave me alone." the half elf muttered, heading back to the house. "Ferget you ever saw me." His bed, his own bed was waiting somewhere inside there and he wasn't in the mood to get in trouble. I wish Gem was here... he thought as his secret love's sweet face entered his mind. She'd show her I'm not a dirtbag anymore. |

Isabella glared back and decided she had been a bit harsh, but this was a criminal! She frowned as she watched him while he spoke and turned to leave she didn't fully understand why but she felt a sudden change in is aura the last time she ahd seen him he was solid and helped her take a sick woman back to her friends home and she had never really seen him do any of these evil things other then cut Roux 's hair when he was a ghost. she sighed and shook her head. "Hey wait!" She called out to him picking up something he dog had dropped in the shape of a tennis ball. "You dropped this." She said to him and looked at him and the way he was treating the tiny creature in his arms when it hit her. "You're making a new start aren't you?" she asked baffled slightly but had to admit it was very valiant of him if he was trying to change his life around. |

"You could say that..." he answered, his tone a little less rude than it had been before. "I think you're probably one of the few people who would believe it, though." He changed his voice to a mocking squawk of disbelief. "Ringo Mercury changed? Sure...and Harry Potter was a deatheater..." He ran one of his hands through his messy dark hair before taking the tennis ball back from her. "You shouldn't be out so late, though. I may have a new place but I don't know if it's the safest area around here." He knew he must've sounded like an overprotective father but despite that Isabella could be a bit frightening, she wasn't all that bad. |

Isabella listened to the tone of his voice and watched his body language there was nothing to suggest he was lying, and he seemed cleaner then the last time she had met him. She nodded knowing there was no sense to doubt it the signs were clear the way he spoke and acted where those of his true nature and there was no acting being done here. "Maybe its time you started using your first name Richard it could change alot of minds you know." She said as he took the ball from her. "may I?" She asked smiling at the puppy and holding out her hands asking to hold him. She giggled at him adn nodded, "Yes but the mushrooms have to be picked after midnight and before dawn, before going to Italy I used to come here to get them for my potions." She told him smiling, "Don't worry about me I have faced worse then death eaters trust me." She reassured him fingering the hilt of her silver dagger. "So tell me Richard what brought about the change of heart and soul? if I may ask that is." She said her features softer then they had been earlier as she waited for his answer. |

"Sure..." he said, kindly and handed the bulldog puppy over to Isabella. He wasn't so reluctant now that he recognized her and came to the conclusion she was pretty trustworthy. Eddie snuggled against her chest and licked her arm before sighing quietly. "I didn't know they were used in potions, though. I only have them for..." He didn't continue his sentence because he thought she wouldn't approve that he smoked them. He didn't want her to get mad at him once again. The change of heart and soul? he thought in disbelief. Do I really seem that mushy? Do I have that goofy lovestruck look on my face since I've been thinking about Gem? He scratched one of his pointy ears and shrugged a bit uncomfortably. "I dunno..." he lied. "I just got sort of tired of being...like that." He didn't specify exactly what he was referring to as "that" but he assumed she understood what he meant. |

Isabella smiled as she was handed the puppy and hugged it close before stroking it as it licked her arm causing her to giggle as she held the puppy against her before looking back at Richard. "well not all of them, there a re a few if you pay close attention to the sort of glow in the dark from there gills. The ones that have the silvery light can be used but only there gills not the entire mushroom." She said only nodding at what he had been about to say. It wouldn't surprise her she had known many men in the military who had done so, sometimes even the doctors used them as drugs to deaden the pain the soldiers might feel when the doctor is carrying out his job. She watched him and studied his body language as he spoke, he was lying she could tell but she didn't press him for any more information and simply nodded. "Well its a good thing you are taking a different path now." She said still petting the puppy n her arms as she spoke to him. |

"Right, well...I owe it all to Gem Jewels." he replied, half paying attention to what he was saying. The words were out before he could stop them. He turned away, although it was dark, before she could see his bony face redden. The half elf felt like such a dork, having no control over his feelings or what he said anymore. He wasn't sure whether Isabella had heard of her or not, but he dreaded having to hear her taunt him for spilling the beans about his hidden love for the girl. "Don't say anything." he warned, the back of his neck getting a strange, icy sensation. "To anybody. But there. Now you really know." |

Isabella smiled warmly at Richard when he said a woman's name and thanked her, love truly did conquer all even the little soul of this little man. She hoped this Gem who had changed him or he changed for, loved him as much as he clearly loved her. She shook her head. "Don't worry no one will know." She said with a smiled and nodded at his second comment. "Yes I know and you should be proud and happy that you found someone to love and love you back. Love is a truly wonderful thing." She said sighing when an idea hit her, some would have considered it unwise but Isabella didn't care she followed her conscience and there was no reason to not trust the person before her. "Richard would you like to come to my wedding?" She asked him hoping he would accept as she smiled at the puppy in her arms and rubbed its tummy before looking up at Richard again. |

"Well, I dunno if she..." His buglike eyes shifted and he lowered his voice a little. "I dunno if she actually loves me back yet. She might still see me as only a friend but I guess that's okay too." He had never really, properly loved anybody before, save for his sister, daughter, and few blood relatives--not including his garndparents. He had desired, yes, and lusted after beautiful women such as the vampire Katrina or Natalie Lestrange or Cora. He had been greedy and sleazy back when he was like that, moving from woman to another. But he never really felt like he was actually in love with them. Their personalities were so different--Natalie and Katrina were spiteful and Cora was a bit too jealous and dramatic for him to handle. But Gem...she was so sweet and understanding, attractive inside and out. He felt like she was the only girl on the planet who he could connect with and that was what differed her from the rest of the ladies he had chased after. "Yes, I'd love to come to your wedding." he replied, smiling. His missing teeth had grown back and despite his smile was a little funny, it had a warm vibe to it. "Can I bring Gem to it, if it's okay with you?" |

Isabella nodded understanding how he felt remembering she had felt that exact way exactly a year ago when she had met Seith and knew she loved him but didn't know whether he loved ehr back, the sudden realization of the matter made him run away but they had stumbled into each other again and knew there was no point in denying each other, it was clear they held deep feelings for one another but it had taken a great deal of time and patience to restore their broken hearts to their almost originale state. "Don't worry I'm sure you'll find out sooner or later." She reassured him hoping the young woman did love him for she had clearly caused a miraculous change in him! At his question she beamed and nodded, "Oh yes please do! I would love to meet her!" She said honestly. She truly did want to meet this mysterious woman who had helped him live again. "If I get a chance to meet her before the wedding though it would be great!" She said thinking about having this complete stranger as a part of her wedding as one of the bridesmaids instead of another cruel and twisted cousin of hers whom she knew would do nothing to hep her on her wedding day and she would be left to fend for herself and June to help her if she wanted to that is. |

"Maybe you will...oh, you'd really like her." he gushed, brightly. "She's sweet and funny...and she gave me a job at her work too." He paused, the dreamy smile still set on his face. Gem made him feel so optimistic and content, there wasn't a care in the world when she was with him. "D'you want to come inside, it's getting kind of cold..." he offered, holding open the door of the tiny house for her. "You know, I was thinking...once I gain full custody of my daughter Ariella, I'm going to have her live here with me and Eddie. And maybe..." He thought for a moment. "Maybe my biological father would like to stay with me too. He won't have to work at Hogwarts anymore..." He faced Isabella with a hopeful gaze. "What do you think?" |

Isabella beamed, 'Wonderful! I look forward to meeting her." She said and smiled as he spoke of her, it was clear he held her in high regard and loved her very much. She could see it in his eyes and actions that he cared for her and was happy to be near her and around her it reminded her of how she would avidly talk of Seith whenever the topic came up or something reminded her of him. "I would love to." She said accepting his invitation and stepping inside his home. "That sounds wonderful Richard! Your daughter must be very happy to get to see you again!" She said looking around the cozy place. "I'm sure your father would love to be able to relax and not have to worry about doing work in Hogwarts with you as his son." Isabella was amazed by the way this person had changed and the way he seemed more confident and possibly even was being his true self in a very long time! |

"Terrific!" he said, happily. "Glad you think so but I'm not sure where to find him there. I haven't been anywhere near Hogwarts since I was seventeen, even though I got expelled in fifth year, but I won't get into that..." His smile faded a little and he reached up on one of the shelves to get a drink. He pulled down two butterbeers and handed one of them to Isabella. "Here, I'll hold Ed and give your arms a rest..." he said, setting his drink down on the counter and taking the sleeping puppy away from her gently. |
