Chapter 9: Another Clue for Isis

Teddy had no idea where to start so he just picked a point and started there. His mum was driving him around so that meant that he could get where he needed to without too much trouble. Also he had told her the truth and that's why she was here.

"Sometimes I wonder about that girl," Tonks told him.

"I know, mum, but she wants to find out what's going on," Teddy said, "And the person did try and run her down."

"I agree," Tonks said, "And thank goodness you told me or you wouldn't be enjoying this nice ride."

"Thanks for reminding me," Teddy said.

"No problem," his mother said and Teddy went back looking for any truck that matched what Isis had seen.

"How's your daughter doing, Hermione?" Cathy Worm asked.

"She's doing fine," Hermione said, "How are you holding up?"

Cathy sighed, "It's hard to live without the person that you love and I wish that he had taken me when he went looking for that blasted mummies case."

"Did you have any idea that he had found it," Hermione asked.

"No, he said that he was still looking for it," Cathy answered. "So how long will it be before they know who's inside the case?"

"Hopefully not long," Hermione answered.

"Good, I'm glad," Cathy said.

"Do you need for me to get you anything," Hermione asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"No, I'll be fine," Cathy told her and she left, leaving Hermione to worry about her.

"So how are you feeling?" Harry asked Isis.

It had been a full day since Isis had asked Teddy to go look for the truck and now she was allowed to get out of bed and walk around.

"A lot better then I have," Isis answered, "Dad, I'm sorry about Lily making you go all red."

Harry grinned and patted her on the back. "That's alright. Lily isn't old enough to know what she's talking about. So I don't get mad at her."

"I'm glad to hear that," Isis said and she had the made make her some tea. "I can't wait until the summer is over and I get back to school."

"I thought you were having fun," Harry said.

"I was until all the pain came my way," Isis answered, "Now I just want the summer to be over."

"I've got a feeling that it will soon be over," Harry predicted.

Isis knew that her father couldn't predict anything but she allowed him to talk.

An hour later Harry left and Isis was allowed some time to think about what had happened. Charlie Worm was killed for a reason and that reason she could feel coming towards her. The only thing that she wasn't sure about was who would have benefited from Charlie's death. She was still thinking about this when the doorbell rang. She opened the door, after sensing no ill intent, and found a man standing there.

"I've got a package for one Miss Granger," the man said.

"She's not here but I'm her daughter," Isis told him.

"Sign here, please," the man said and Isis signed her name.

He thanked her and then left.

Isis had a funny feeling that this package was important and so she opened it. Inside was a letter and when she opened it she read:

Dear Hermione,

If you're reading this then I'm dead and I'm hoping that I didn't give anything out to anyone. The mummy's case is that of a child princess and her case was more then just housing for her body. I discovered a catch at the bottom and I believe that it contains the jewels that she was buried with. I'm hoping that you'll find out this before someone else finds out.

Now if you're wondering why I'm acting like this then I'll tell you. I've been hunted down ever since I told people that I intended to find this girl's mummy case. I've gotten threats against my life and I've almost been killed for it. I'm hoping that you can make my last wish, my dream, a reality.

With great respect,

Charlie Worm

Enclosed was a picture of the case and she saw where the arrows were pointed to. Now all she had to do was get to the case and see if he was right. She hoped that he was right because if he wasn't then the man died for nothing.
