Isis Potter and a breath of Fresh Air
Hi!
Pairing list:
Isis Potter X Tom Riddle
Link X Princess Mipha
Ginny X ?
Who do you want Ginny's man to be? Give suggestions and I'll create a poll.
Please be kind: I had to work up a lot of guts to post this and I do not want my confidnace tome trashed. Thank you for reading and leaving your view, though. I m very curious about what everyone thinks, after all. And do check out the Golden Snitch!
"Hey, wake up!" Isis Potter cried as she tried to shake the red-haired figure of Ginny Weasley awake. Isis knew there was a basilisk down here, so she wanted to get out of the Chamber of Secrets before it came; which meant waking Ginny.
No response from Ginny.
"Weasley! Wake the hell up!" Isis cried again. This time she shook her more vigorously; Isis was starting to get frustrated.
"She won't wake," a posh English voice said smoothly. Isis' slender body jumped about a foot in the air before turning around to see a tall black-haired boy, around seventeen approaching her. He wore the Slytherin robes, opposed to Isis' Ravenclaw ones and Ginny's Gryffindor ones.
"You! Tom Riddle!" Isis exclaimed pointing at him. She didn't know why she was pointing at him, she just was.
"Yes, that's me," Tom said smugly.
"Why won't she wake up, smart arse?" demanded Isis. She was looking straight into Tom's green eyes with a cold glare.
"Demanding, aren't we? Tell me, Isis Potter: how can a one-year-old baby defeat the most powerful wizard in the world?" Tom calmly asked Isis.
"I have no idea, and I care even less! And so should you; there were more important things at stake here! Like, for example, Ginny's life!" Isis snapped at him annoyedly. She tartly flicked her loose bright blonde hair back.
"My, you are nothing like what miss Weasley said you were. But why do you care? You didn't even know her," Tom said. He looked a little surprised.
"Be surprised all you want: why won't Ginny wake?! What have you done to her?! And because I don't like people dying, and I want to stop the school from closing: that's why I care," Isis snapped, picking up Ginny's hand to try and feel her pulse.
"She is alive, but not for much too much longer. Soon, her soul will be mine and she'll be dead. You see, this girl has been writing her little soul into this." He picked up his old dairy. "I had to put up with a lot, but it was worth it when you picked it up. You have no idea how angry I was when Ginny started writing again. She was worried I had split all her little secrets. But that happening had its uses, as she grew weaker and I grew stronger." Tom Riddle said taking a breath.
"You know, I don't think it would be possible for someone to be more self-centered," Isis threw in, standing as tall as possible. Even with that, she still wasn't that tall, especially compared to Tom. Isis had tuned out half of what he'd just said, but she still knew it was all to do with him.
"Humph," Tom grumbled before continuing. "After every attack, Ginny would write and say how worried she was because there were these attacks, and she couldn't remember where she was for them. Then she started to worry more because she started not been able to remember great chunks of her life."
"You are horrible! You used this more innocent girl for your own selfish needs! I won't let her die for you, you know: I'll do whatever it takes for her to survive this," Isis said, gritting her teeth.
Just then, Tom got more solid and was as solid as Isis. "You too late, Isis Potter: she's dead!" Tom said smirking.
"Wha?" Isis said, feeling Ginny's pulse again.
There wasn't one.
"No! This can't be the case! NNNOOOOO!" Isis screamed. A gold light erupted from the pale hand of Isis was holding Ginny's hand with, then it went through Ginny until her whole body was engulfed in the light; it also went a fair way into the room after doing that.
Suddenly, Ginny started breathing again, and she began to move. Unfortunately, that was the only thing that had happened: Tom was still standing there when he would have hopefully have had to return to the dairy. Isis didn't get it: she supposed whatever was the magic she used had done to Ginny to revive her, and it had done the same to Tom stupid Riddle: in other words, he was a person now.
"What happened?" asked Tom, looking bamboozled.
"Don't look at me! I have no idea!" Isis cried defensively.
"Augh," Ginny groaned as she came around. She looked around and felt confused.
"What happened?" Ginny asked, looking up at Isis' deep blue eyes.
"You guess is as good as mine," Isis said shrugging as she looked back at Ginny's chocolate brown eyes.
"What's he doing here?" Ginny asked, pointing accusingly at Tom.
"Gawking and talking about himself: that's all his done," Isis said. That earnt her a glare from Tom.
Then there was a rumble. "Ah, what's happening?" Ginny asked with a hint of a fear in her voice.
"No idea!" Isis said with more fear in her voice.
Suddenly, the three of them glowed blue and started disappearing. Isis screamed along with the other two. Then the world went dark.

As Isis woke up, she saw Ginny Weasley lying next to her, still out of it; and Tom Riddle not that far away, also starting to wake up.
'Great,' Isis thought as she looked around and realised this was no place she had been before. The only thing worse than being somewhere you don't know is being somewhere you don't know with people you hate or don't really know! Isis might have defended Ginny before, but before that Isis had barely even spoken a word to her, being in different houses and not having any other contact.
"Where are we?" Tom asked.
"Typical, you ask the stupid question," Isis said. There was a slight growl as she spoke that suggested war was about to start.
"It was not a stupid question!" Tom cried, defending himself.
"Alright, that was a bit harsh," Isis begrudgingly agreed.
"Glad you saw some sense," Tom said, earning a growl and glare from Isis.
"Ouch, my arm!" Ginny cried as she woke up.
Isis looked around to see why Ginny might be complaining about her arm: it was bent back at a strange angle.
"That doesn't look good," Tom observed.
"No, it looks like it might be broken," Isis nodded.
"That would explain why it hurts so much!" Ginny yowled making a dreadful din.
"If you would lend me your wand, Isis: I could probably heal her arm," Tom said to Isis.
"And how do I know you're not going to kill the pair of us or run off! I know who you are! You are a child form a Voldemort!" Isis cried viciously. She caused Ginny to both flinch and gasp. Flinch at the name Voldemort, and gasp at who Isis reckoned Tom was.
"For a twelve-year-old, your quite smart," Tom said, obviously stunned that Isis had worked it out.
"Should I take that as an insult or compliment?" Isis muttered.
"Whichever one floats your boat. But I'd rather you gave it to him and he killed us then have to put up with this pain!" Ginny howled, being totally selfish. Which, all thing considered, was not completely unwarranted.
"Alright: here. Give it back though," Isis said begrudgingly handing her wand to Tom.
"Thanks," he said taking it.
Then he bent down next to Ginny's arm and he asked Ginny to stretch it out as much as she could in front of her body. It wasn't very far as her arm was very sore, but she could do it a little bit. Then Tom tapped the arm with Isis' wand, and muttered a few spells under his breath then conjured an arm sling.
After showing Ginny how to put it on, Tom said, "Without any potions and only spells, you will have to keep your arm in one of those for a while."
"How long?" Ginny whined.
"About two weeks? Or until it stops hurting, then add five days onto it," Tom said after thinking for a second.
"Alright," Ginny sighed. Then she put the sling on.
"It could be much worse, Ginny. You, can I have my wand back?" Isis said speaking to Tom.
"What? Oh yes, sure," Tom said handing it back to Isis.
"Thanks," Isis said, tucking her wand away.
"What do we do now?" Ginny asked as she stood up. She was a bit unbalanced standing up, with no use of one of her arms. As she tried to stand up, she flailed quite a bit, which messed up her unusual flame red hair.
"No idea," Isis said looking around where they were. One way there was a stone arch with greenery and trees and a snowy mountain in the background, and the other way looked like a walk of some sort. It went through a gully of sorts.
Down the walk from what they could see, there were paths made of stone, and it went over water. There was stone-work along the wall had a lot of elegant designs which made this look very important. It was obvious this walk was very important.
"Well considering that way looks like it goes to a mountain covered in snow: I think we should go this way," Tom said, pointing towards the walk.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"To find out where we are so we can get back?" Isis suggested.
"Exactly, Isis," Tom nodded.
"I suppose considering we will be working to stay alive, we will have to be civil to each other," Isis sighed.
"Yep: a temporary truce would solve that, though," Tom said.
"What do you say, Ginny? A temporary truce?" Isis asked the other female.
"What choice do we have? Considering he is older than us, we will have a better chance of getting back to Hogwarts if we work with him," Ginny said after considering it for a while.
"Alright, fine: a truce it is," Isis said.
"Same," Ginny nodded.
"I'll agree to that. Shall we shake hands?" Tom asked.
"Do I have a choice about it?"
"Yes, but it would be polite to shake hands, Isis," Tom said, smiling slyly.
"Fine," Isis replied shortly. Tom held his hand out and Isis shook it. Then Ginny and Tom shook hands.
"With that, should we go down here?" Ginny asked, pointing down the walk.
"Let's," Tom nodded. With him in the lead, they walked down the stone walk into the unknown.
So there ends the first chapter. If your curious about Isis' name: i thought it suited her personality. A vague plan will be to have Isis having a twin, Greta: who has had to play the role of Zelda, and is relieved to be free of it, but also a bit bitter too. I reckon you can guess why. She does have magic and will go to Hogwarts to try and unlock it. Isis is friends with 'Lisa Turpin' who will play a part.
There will be a bit of Dumbledore bashing, as that would make the most sense for what will happen, and he will not be headmaster for much longer. Basically, he will be shown in a bad light, and loose his job and spend a few months in Azakban for what he did to Isis by leaving her with the Dursleys. There probably be light to moderate Ron and Molly bashing considering neither are in my 'liked' character list. Hermione will be bashed or ignored; she is WAY TOO popular in my opinion.
My plan for this story is at the start it is quite humours with the constant angst and threatening war between Isis and Tom; with Ginny trying to make peacemaker.
Thanks and bye! Anyone who leaves a nice review will two reviews from me! Fair deal, isn't it?
