Chapter 11

Hermione opened her eyes and looked around. She knew that she had been in the tomb and then there had been terrible pain. Now the pain was over and she was now awake. She turned over and saw Harry setting there.

"Are you alright?" Harry asked.

"I'm fine," Hermione answered, "Was anyone else hurt?"

"No," Harry said.

Hermione forced herself into a setting position and looked at Harry. "Harry, Isis is worried about you."

Harry looked at the ground.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing," Harry said and Hermione knew that he wasn't being truthful.

"Harry, this is your friend talking," Hermione told him, "You can tell me what's wrong."

Harry looked at her. "She attacked Ginny; she turned her into a monster."

"Harry, do you really believe that Isis has that kind of power?" Hermione asked him. "I mean I named her Isis, because I loved that name, but she's a normal witch and nothing more."

"But I know that she-."

"Harry, she's just a regular person," Hermione said, "But what I want to know is is this the only reason why you're not talking to her."

"Yes and I believe that she did it."

Hermione rolled her eyes, "You think that she has that kind of power?"

"Yes, I do," Harry said.

"Harry, we're not talking about Voldemort here," Hermione said, "We're talking about a eleven-year-old girl that's been a Hogwarts students for a few months and if something happened to your wife then she got someone mad, someone that has a lot more experience with magic then a little girl does. Harry, leave this alone and tell your daughter that you'll speak with her."

Harry stood up. "I'll think about it."

"Good," Hermione said and then she forced herself back down and went to sleep.

Isis and Teddy was doing the one thing that both of them liked to do…snooping. They were both back at the tomb and Isis was looking around for clues that might lead them to whoever had committed the crimes.

"Are you going to use your magic?" Teddy asked.

"I can't use normal magic because the Ministry will be able to trace," Isis told him, "But I'll use my other magic. Turn away."

Teddy turned away and Isis transformed into her true form. She extended her hands, her magic washing through the tomb. Suddenly something caught her eye and she walked over to it. It was a small tooth, which looked like it was made of gold. Isis reversed back to normal and told Teddy that he could turn around.

"What is it?" Teddy asked.

"A gold tooth and the only person that had a gold tooth would be our killer," Isis told him.

"Okay, so how do we find out who has a missing gold tooth?" Teddy asked.

"By doing a little searching and getting my step-grandfather involved."

"Step-grandfather," Teddy said, "Never heard of it."

Isis rolled her eyes. "It means that my grandmother married again. It's a name that applies to all."

"Oh great wise one," Teddy mocked and Isis decided to ignore him. "Hay, what did I say?"

"Figure it out," Isis said to him and they both left.

When both Isis and Teddy returned to the hotel Isis saw her step-grandfather was busy drinking tea and reading a paper. He looked up from what he was doing when they sat down.

"What can I do for you?" Snape asked them.

"I found this," Isis said and placed the tooth on the table.

Snape picked it up and looked at it.

"And where did you find this?" Snape asked them.

"At the tomb," Isis answered and Snape groaned. "What."

"Isis, you know that your mum doesn't want you even near that place. Not that she thinks that it's cursed."

"I know but I just couldn't let it go," Isis told him and Snape turned to Teddy.

"Did she sucker you into doing this?" Snape asked him.

"Pretty much," Teddy answered and Isis snorted.

"I didn't sucker you into doing this," she protested, "You volunteered."

Snape put the tooth down. "You two, I know that you want to find out what's going on but you have to let the police handle it."

"But, sir," Isis protested.

"No but sir me," Snape said, his voice suddenly stern. "Last time I got involved I ended up almost buried inside a tomb. I'm not having that happen again and anyway you can't let your mum think that you're handling another mystery. She got really upset about that. And I see where she's coming from. She loves you and doesn't want to lose you."

"I know," Isis said.

"Good now I need to get back to my reading," Snape said, handing the tooth back. "No snooping."

Both of them got up and left but what he didn't realize was that he didn't ask Isis to vow that she wouldn't snoop around and Isis knew it.

"So I guess that's the end of it," Teddy said as they headed up to their rooms.

It was the day before Christmas and everyone was excited.

"No, it doesn't," Isis said.

Teddy groaned. "Snape told us not to snoop."

"He didn't make me vow not snoop," Isis told him, "And I intend to continue to snoop. Everyone thinks that the tomb is cursed and that will cause problems."

Teddy groaned again. "Snape will kill you!"

"Not if he doesn't see me," Isis said

"Oh I think this is going to be a major problem," Teddy said.

Isis grinned and returned to her room.

A/N: Well we all know that Isis is hard-headed. Next up: A Christmas party with a warning and Nymph suspects that Isis is detecting again. Of course we all know that she likes that.
