Chapter 8: Frantic Mother
"I can't believe this happened," Hermione told Harry the next morning.
She had woken up to find that all the needles had finally been removed and Isis was on a Sleeping Draft.
"Hermione, why would anyone want to run our daughter down?" Harry asked her.
"I don't know," Hermione said, "This all started with that damn mummies case."
"Does anyone know who belonged in the case?" Harry asked.
"Their still running tests," Hermione answered, "Gods, I wish that case hadn't been found."
"But it was important to you," Harry said.
"I know but I'm starting to think that it's cursed," Hermione said.
Harry patted her on the shoulder and then left her alone with her thoughts.
Isis finally woke up after a week being asleep and she felt like she had slept for forty years. She was surprised to see Teddy there and wondered if he was going to start on her about what had happened.
"I'm sorry for not being there," he told her.
Isis looked at him. "And what brought this on?" she asked him, wondering if he really meant it.
"Well I heard what had happened and I know that you didn't cause it," Teddy said, "It's just that I was worried when you went into that room and started snooping around. I've been with you on couple of mysteries and they always end up with someone getting hurt."
Isis put a hand on his. "I know that your worried but what I'm wondering is how did that person know that I was even there. I mean, it isn't like I advertised where I was babysitting at."
"Do you think that someone found out by magical means?" Teddy asked.
"I don't know but I'm determined to find out," Isis told him.
"Then I'm coming with you," Teddy said and Isis smiled.
"Thanks," Isis said.
Isis was very glad to finally leave the hospital but the first thing that happened was the her mother made her go upstairs and rest some more. Isis wanted to protest but she knew that her mother would just yell at her and force her upstairs. However instead of resting she waited until her mother was gone and owled Teddy to come over. He was over in a hour.
"You're lucky that your mother is busy at the dig," he said, "So what do you want me to do?"
"I need for you to find out who might of wanted me dead," Isis said, "I know that this isn't your area but I really need your help and I don't want my mother to think that I'm snooping around."
"Okay, how am I supposed to do this?" he asked her.
"Use your talents," Isis said, "You're really good at that and I want you to use this information to find the person."
She handed him a piece of parchment that he put in his pocket.
"Be careful," Isis told him.
"I'll try," Teddy said and then left.
"Dad are we visiting Isis early," James asked his father.
Harry looked at him. "And why do you want to visit her?"
"To see how she's doing," James answered.
"I want to go as well," Lily, who went by the name of Hathor, said.
Harry sighed. "Fine, but she's going to be in bed."
"I highly doubt that," Albus said.
"And why do you say that?" Harry asked him.
"Well because she always has her nose in other people's business," Albus told him.
"Hay, stop saying that about our sister," James said.
"I'm just making a point," Albus said.
"Well make a point some other time," James told him and then turned to his father. "So can we visit her?"
"I don't see why not," Harry said and all, except Albus, cheered.
When they got to Hermione's house a maid let them in and took them up to Isis room. She was in bed reading a book and Lily, who went by the name of Hathor, jumped on her bed.
"How are you feeling?" Harry asked her.
"Fine for someone that got injected with thorns," Isis told him, "What are you all doing here?"
"I didn't want to come, dad made me," Albus told her.
Harry saw Isis frowning.
"Did it hurt, big sis," Lily asked.
"It sure did," Isis answered, ruffling her hair.
"Why aren't you out having fun?" James asked.
"Or snooping," Albus added.
"Al," Harry hissed.
"That's alright," Isis told her father, "Well mum wants me to stay in bed and if I don't want to get her mad I have to do what she tells me."
"Well we never do anything that Jessica tells us," Lily said.
Isis looked at her father and he went pink.
"And who's Jessica?" Isis asked him.
"No one important," Harry lied and Isis snorted with laughter.
"She's the pretty Auror that works with dad," Lily told her and Harry had a feeling that all girls felt the need to gossip.
"Is she sexy, dad," Isis asked him.
Harry went redder.
"I heard him say that she has big tata's," Lily said.
"LILY!" Harry screamed and Isis burst out laughing.
"What does-."
"You're too young to know what that means," Harry cut in.
Isis burst out laughing again, clearly enjoying the look of embarrassment on her father's face.
