Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters, their all owned by J.K Rowling, but I do like to play with them.


To attyfan: Thanks for your review and no one is going to get into trouble with Snape telling Isis Anubis message instead of the other way around. Also Harry and Isis will reconcile their differences.

To notwritten: Thanks for your review.


Chapter 7

"Has my father decided to talk with me?" Isis asked Remus.

"I don't know, I've talked with him but it might take time for him to talk to you."

Isis groaned. She knew that he knew it had been a mistake so why wasn't he seeing sense and talking with her.

"Well when he comes around you'll know," Teddy told her.

"Thanks," Isis said, rolling her eyes.

Isis decided to spend time at the museum so that her father would have time to think about what had happened and get over being mad. Isis knew that her mother had probably been told and when she finally got around to yelling at her then there would be no end to her personal torment. However Teddy was on her side and that's all that mattered.

Once Isis was done with the final artifact, and had returned a couple that she had spelled safely, her and Teddy headed down to the café to have lunch. Isis had been here before and so knew what to order. Once the waiter had left someone sat down right next to them. The look on Teddy's face told Isis that he thought this was unusual at rude. Isis knew who this person was.

"What are you doing here?" Isis asked her.

"I need to talk with you," the figure told her.

Isis stood up and so did Teddy. "I will be back, Teddy," she told him.

"Where are you going?"

"Not far," Isis said and then left with the woman.

When they were several shops away the woman talked to her. "I didn't imagine seeing you again, sister."

"I'm surprised to see you; I thought you would have remained in your tomb."

Her sister laughed. "I don't like staying in a place that I'm free to leave from."

"I figure that much," Isis told her, "So what are your plans?"

"Oh getting out of Egypt and ruining people's lives," her sister answered, grinning at her.

Isis crossed her arms. "You know that I can't let you do that."

"Of course not, I wouldn't expect anything less from you," she said, "But advise your family to stay way from me."

She made a ball of fire appear with some well chosen words. Her sister backed away.

"I still have power," Isis said firmly.

"That I know and that's why I'm warning you."

The fire got brighter. "Don't you dare warn me!"

Her sister gave her a grin and then vanished. The fire disappeared and she returned to her seat.

"Where's she at?" Teddy asked.

"Away but remind me to tell my dad about her," Isis said.

"If he'll listen to you," Teddy said.

"Oh I have a feeling that he will," Isis said and then the food arrived.
