Chapter 4: Teddy's Parents Meet Isis
Isis was very glad when Saturday came. So far she had discovered that she still had a father, that the Slytherins, Professor Willow, some of the Weasley clan hated her, and she had met her siblings. She didn't add the return of Teddy's parents to what she had either done or encountered because she didn't believe that she had done it. Teddy was once again not around but Isis didn't get mad. He hadn't seen his parents in eleven years so she knew they were having some alone time.
She sat down to start on her Transfiguration work when the portrait opened and Lily came in, her feet incased in slippers. She ran over and looked at Isis who smiled at her young sister.
"Hello there, Lily Pie," Isis said.
"Helwo," Lily said. "Daddy wants you to come down for breakfast."
"Alright, I can do this later," Isis said and putting her books away she followed Lily out of Gryffindor tower.
When Isis arrived a medium breakfast was waiting on them and she saw Albus and James setting, trying to act like they had manners. Harry invited her to sit down and she joined them.
"So how is your studying going?" Harry asked Isis as he served her first.
"Their going great," Isis answered. "But I miss the museum and the digs."
"Well next month is Halloween and you'll have a great time," Harry told her.
"Will James, Albus, and Lily be there?" Isis asked.
"No," Harry answered.
"Why not, dad," James asked.
"Because you're going to have school the next day and you need to be in bed by eight," Harry sternly told him.
"Mummy would let us stay up late," James protested.
Isis saw Harry get mad and she started on her breakfast.
Isis was really glad to leave as Harry had grounded James for what he had said and Isis really wanted to return to her homework. She had never used that line around her mum as she would have to face her Godfather and he didn't like children that sassed back. She knew that James had a lot to learn before he actually grew up. The next morning Lily didn't come back and at once she missed her little sister. That afternoon she headed outside to enjoy what remained of the warm days when something hit her.
She screamed in fright as she fell back and landed on her side. She then tried to get up but suddenly rope surrounded her and she couldn't get up. That's when she heard laughter and knew that she had gotten pranked.
"Well isn't it, Potter," the Slytherin said. "Want to see what we do to Potters?"
Isis didn't want to see what they did to Potters and she fought against her binds. The Slytherin, a large boy that was several years older then her; dragged her near a tree that looked very violent and then threw her at it. Isis at once forced her body to move away from the branches and rest at the trunk.
"Damn," the Slytherin cursed. "Well no one will be able to get to you."
And he ran back inside the castle.
The hours passed and no one came past the tree, or her, and she was starting to get worried. She closed her eyes and prayed that someone would find her. However no one came and night fell. She fell asleep under the tree, knowing the next day students would be out and one of them would come across her. A sound of breathing woke Isis up and when she opened her eyes she saw someone working on her binding.
She didn't know who it was because it was dark but soon her bindings were gone and she was able to get free. The branches seem to know that someone was there as they were fighting harder then ever. She leaned back and suddenly they stopped.
"Thanks, whoever you are," Isis told the figure.
"Fwanks," said the familiar voice of Lily.
"Lily Pie," Isis said. "What are you doing here?"
"Heard you calling out and wanted to help but daddy says that I'm not allowed out. So I had to wait until he thought that I was aweep and snuck out."
"Thanks," Isis said. "Now let's get out of here before this tree unfreezes."
As both girls headed back to the castle Isis was wondering about how Lily had known that she was in-trouble. She had prayed that someone would help her but she hadn't expected it to be Lily, not that she wasn't grateful, and she wondered if it had anything to do with the bond that siblings had.
"Lily," yelled Harry when they got inside the entrance hall. "What are you doing out of bed?"
"She saved my life," Isis told him. "Someone pranked me and left me under the base of this horrible tree. She seemed to know that I was in trouble and snuck out to find me. If she hadn't I would have been under there until the next morning."
She smiled at her sister with pride.
"Oh Lily I'm so proud of you," Harry said, gushing over his daughter. "You saved someone's life. Just like me."
Lily giggled and then was hugged by Harry. He broke off and hugged Isis.
"I don't know what I would of done if you had been hurt," Harry said. "All of you are precious to me."
Isis's eyes filled with tears of joy and she smiled.
The next day Teddy quickly sat down, a worried look on his face. Before Isis could ask him what he was so worried about he told her that he had found out about the Slytherin pranking her and leaving her outside almost all night.
"How did you find out?" Isis asked.
"Dad told me," Teddy answered. "I can't believe that Lily saved you."
"Well I'm glad that she did," Isis told him. "Imagine what would of happened if I had been stuck there all night?"
"I can imagine," Teddy said. "Hay, do you want to meet my parents."
Isis stared at him. "Um, Teddy, we haven't dated yet," she joked.
Teddy went red and so did his hair. Isis laughed.
"Why do they want to meet me?" Isis asked him, assuming that they were the ones that had asked to meet her.
"Well they want to meet the only friend that I have," Teddy told her.
"Um, sure," Isis said. "But aren't they a little worried that I'm a girl that's your friend?"
"No," Teddy answered.
Isis wondered if that was the full truth.
Teddy told her to meet him at five for dinner with Dora and Remus and Isis decided to at least try and impress them with how she looked. She took out a dress that she wore to dinner parties and put on her favorite Egyptian necklace, which was her only necklace that she had. At five she joined Teddy in the Gryffindor Common Room and they both left.
"You look really nice," Teddy told her.
"Thanks," Isis said.
The Lupin's lived in a chamber off from the Great Hall and when Teddy knocked on the door a woman opened it and smiled at them.
"Remus, Teddy and his girlfriend are here," she called out.
Isis and Teddy both went red. "Mum, she isn't my girlfriend," he moaned.
Isis giggled and was led in.
Remus Lupin was a very thin man that looked as though he had gone through hell. However his gray eyes were alert and gave Isis a strange look. Isis smiled at him and Dora motioned her to take a seat and she did. When the food appeared Dora at once asked what her mum did for a living.
"She's an Egyptolist," Isis told her.
Dora looked a little confused so Isis explained. "It's someone that specializes in only Egypt."
"Does that make good money?" Dora asked.
"Decent," Isis answered. "But my mum doesn't do this for the money she does it for the love of Egypt. I was named after the Egyptian Goddess Isis."
"Are you our Teddy's girlfriend?" Remus asked.
Dora hit him. "Honey, I was only joking," Dora told him. "She's a girl that's a friend, not that kind of girl that's a friend."
"Dad, are you being overly protective again," Teddy asked him.
"I just like to know who my son is seeing," Remus said.
"Ignore him," Dora told Isis. "He doesn't want to believe that his baby is eleven and will, in a few years, start dating."
Remus crossed his arms and Isis sensed overly protective dad mode starting.
"I just want to see who my son is talking to, that's all," Remus said. "Is that too much to want him to be talking to decent people?"
"Want to come on a dig?" Isis suddenly asked.
Everyone stared at her and Isis explained that her mum was doing a dig outside an area that hadn't been dug yet.
"Would you three like to come?" Isis asked.
"Sure," Teddy said at once and Isis saw him looking at his two parents.
"I think Egypt would be exciting," Dora told Remus, "As you do own me a honeymoon."
"Fine," Remus said, though he smiled at Dora when he said it.
"Great, I'll let my mum know," Isis said and the dinner continued without anymore talk about how Isis was the only friend that Teddy had.
When dinner was over Isis thanked the Lupin's for inviting her and then both her and Teddy headed back to Gryffindor tower. On the way Teddy at once apologized for how his father treated her.
"He didn't treat me bad," Isis told him. "Look he has never gotten to know you and therefore he's bound to be overly protective. I'm not upset at him."
"Are you sure?" Teddy asked.
"I'm positive," Isis said, smiling at him. "Come on, let's get back before someone decides to give us detention."
As they headed back Isis told Teddy about what her father had told her about the Halloween Feast and how she would like it. Teddy told her that she would and then, just as they were turning the corner, they ran right into Peeves.
"Oh Ickle Firsties," Peeves cackled. "What fun."
And he charged at them.
Isis screamed as he charged at them and both ran as fast as they could. They hurried down corridor after corridor, things flying at them, and both of them scared to death. Suddenly a huge wall appeared and before Isis could stop she ran right into it and then through it. Teddy joined her and both of them looked to see Peeves stopping and looking around.
Isis held him to be quiet and they watched as Peeves fumed and then glided away. Once they knew that he was gone they checked out the dark hall that they found themselves in.
"What is this place?" Teddy asked.
"I have no idea," Isis answered. "Is there anything we can use to light this place up?"
Teddy took out his wand "Lumos!"
The wand lit up and Isis muttered something but they continued on their way.
