Chapter 8: Halloween
"Back away," Isis said, as it continued to stare at them.
As they backed away Isis was afraid that the monster would attack them. Suddenly it charged at them and encountered a shield.
"How did that happen?" Harry asked, sounding surprised.
"That would be my doing," Isis told him. "We only have a few moments before it fails and then it will come after us again."
Harry took her words to heart and they both left, the crock starting to hit the shield with its head.
The found another patch back to the family quarters and when they arrived Harry sat down. Isis saw that he looked upset and she didn't blame him. At once George and his wife appeared.
"Tell McGonagall that there's a crock in the fourth floor," Isis told them.
Both of them stared at her.
"Is this true, Harry?" George asked.
"Yes, we just saw it," Harry told him. "If it hadn't been for Isis shield we would have been dead."
"I'll let Minerva know right away," George told him and went off to give the Headmistress the message.
"Harry, can I ask you a question?" Angelina asked.
"Sure," Harry said.
"Is the tomb of Rowena Ravenclaw just as fabulous as I've been told," she asked.
Harry grinned at her. "Asked Isis, she's the one that found it."
"Teddy found it as well," Isis protested.
"Fair enough," Harry said and Angelina turned to her.
"Yes, it's as fabulous as you've been told," Isis told her.
"Did she still have her wand with her?" Angelina asked. "Because the students in Ravenclaw believe that she still has her wand."
"I don't know if she still had her wand," Isis told her. "My mum hasn't opened her sarcophagus yet. But I'm sure that, once she does, she'll let me know."
"Personally I think it's great that you're good at something," Harry told her. "When I was your age I had no idea what I was good at."
Isis stared at him. "Really."
"Really," Harry said. "When I had my first Flying Lesson I found that I was good at flying. The short time that I saw you on the broom I could see that you inherited my talent."
"Then why won't my blasted brother-in-law let her fly?" Angelina asked just as George appeared.
"Because Ron's acting like a git, that's why?" George answered. "He thinks only of himself.'
"To true on that," Harry said. "I've been trying to get him to let her return but he won't budge. If this continues I'm going to have to go to the Headmistress."
"And speaking of going to someone I was thinking of going to Severus about the fact that he still hasn't gone on a date with anyone," Angelina said. "The staff party is coming up and he's the only one going by himself."
"Angelina, you know that Snape doesn't go out with anyone because he still loves Lily," George told her.
"That would be your grandmother," Harry quickly explained, seeing Isis confused look.
"What happened to her?" Isis asked.
"She was killed by Voldemort," Harry told her. "She's buried in Godric Hollow with my father."
"How much did he love her?" Isis asked.
"A lot," Harry answered. "So much that he protected me while I was at school. Thank God we didn't lose him with that snake bite."
Both Weasley's nodded in agreement and that gave Isis an idea.

"Are you nuts," Teddy asked. "You're going to leave the grounds, without permission, and visit Lily Potter's grave."
"Yes," Isis said. "I need to find out if I'm right about something."
"And what's that?" Teddy asked.
"If I told you then you would really think that I was insane," Isis told him. "I'll be back soon enough."
And she left.
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
The Knight Bus took Isis from the Hogwarts grounds to Godric Hollow. When it left she could tell that the man that ran it was worried about why she would rather spend time in a cemetery then at school. No one was about and so she headed straight for the grave of the Potter family. Using her magic she found Lily's grave and pulled out the scroll. She needed to stand exactly where Lily was to resurrect only Lily. She couldn't have James returning.
"I, Isis, the Goddess of ten-thousand names and the resurrector of Osiris, command these souls, to which I laid upon, to return to the land of the living, to breath, to feed, to drink, to dance, and to enjoy the pleasures of the world. Come forth…now."
The same glow appeared as her magic connected and she moved away. She watched as the same hole was blasted through the ground and Harry's mother pulled herself out of the ground. Her clothes looked worse then the worst beggar and she looked around.
"Where am I?" she asked. "Where's James?"
"You're in Godric Hollow and James is dead," Isis told her.
Lily Potter looked shocked and then sad.
"Who are you?" Lily asked her.
"My name is Isis," Isis told her in an authoritive tone. "And you've been dead for over thirty years."
Lily gasped and then said, "You brought me back to life, why not James?"
"I don't have that much power," Isis said. "I can only bring back one person."
She knew that part might not be true but she had no proof.
"Well bring him back," Lily demanded.
"I'm sorry," Isis said. "But I can't."
"Why not?" Lily asked.
"Because he doesn't want to come back," Isis answered, though she wasn't sure where they had come from. "Come along, unless you want people to wonder why you're wearing rags."
She held out her hand and Lily took it. Soon both people were gone.
The return to Hogwarts was a miracle in itself but once they were back Isis had Lily take a bath and then she had a house elf bring her some fresh clothes. Once the elf returned the little guy disappeared and Lily appeared.
"It feels good to take a bath," Lily told her, her green eyes dancing in amazement. "I've missed doing that."
She put the clothes on and food magically appeared. Lily ate like she hadn't eaten in centuries.
"So are you the actual goddess Isis or just someone named after her," Lily asked.
"I don't know," Isis told her. "I do have a skill of bring back the dead, doing shields, and other things but I'm not sure."
"So how's my son doing?" Lily asked. "I watched him from the Field of Reeds and he seemed to be doing okay."
"He's doing great unless you count that big blow up that happened over me," Isis told her.
Lily sighed. "I saw that as well. It wasn't my son's fault and I know that your mum didn't use a love potion."
"Thanks, I'm glad that you believe her," Isis said.
Lily finished with her meal and then got up. "Well I want to go and see Madam Pomfrey. I need to be checked out."
Isis nodded and then led her down to the hospital wing.
To say that Madam Pomfrey was shocked when Harry's mother walked in was an understatement. She almost passed out. After giving the Matron time to get over her shock Lily was led to a bed and checked over. Finally she was declared fit and that's when the worst thing that ever happened, happened. Severus Snape walked in and when he saw Lily he fainted.
"I see I still have that affect on people," Lily told Isis, with a grin.
Madam Pomfrey went over and levitated him onto a bed. Lily walked over and smiled sadly at him.
"I forgive you for what happened?" Lily told him. "God's he looks so much older."
"That's what You-Know-Who can do a person," Madam Pomfrey told her.
"I watched him watching over Harry and how he hated the M word," Lily told them. "That's when I knew that he had been truly sorry."
"I'll let Harry know what happened," Madam Pomfrey said and then said to Isis. "You might not see your father for awhile."
"I know and I understand," Isis said.
Lily smiled at her. "I'll make sure that he doesn't forget," Lily told her.
"Thanks," Isis said and then left.
When she returned to the Gryffindor Common Room Teddy was there and asked her how her trip to Godric Hollow was. She told him that he had been productive and that she was glad to be back.
"So you're not going to be leaving the castle anytime soon," Teddy asked her.
"Nope," Isis answered.
"Good because the Headmistress was wondering where you were," Teddy told her.
Isis had a bad feeling that she would get summoned the next morning.
However she hadn't been summoned the next day or any of the days after that. On Halloween she had just come back, with Teddy, from Charms when she saw Lily waiting outside the Gryffindor Tower. She looked upset about something and it was Isis job to find out why she was so upset.
"Hello, Lily Pie," Isis said.
"Don't call me that," Lily snapped, her eyes filled with tears.
Isis looked concerned about this. "What's wrong?"
"There's another person named Lily and daddy spends time with her," Lily told her. "He doesn't care about me anymore."
Isis sighed and motioned Teddy over. "I'll talk with you later."
He nodded and went inside.
"Why do you think he doesn't care about you anymore?" Isis asked.
"Well he use to read me a story and now he doesn't," Lily told her. "So I want a new name."
Isis wrapped her arms around her.
"From this day forth you shall be called Maat," Isis told her. "The one that presides over balance and you shall be revered by all and shall punish those that do wrong."
She felt her magic connect with Lily and that part of her power was taken away and given to her little sister. Unknown to anyone Lily Luna Potter was now Maat, the person that embodied truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice.
"Thanks," Lily, now Maat said.
"No problem," Isis said to her. "Now I think that you need to head back home."
"Daddies new friend is there," Maat told her.
"Well I'm sure that your daddy's new friend would like to get to know you."
Maat stuck her tongue out and Isis sighed. She knew she would pay for it but her sister wanted to go to the Halloween Feast and since Maat didn't want to be around her father and grandmother that was the only place that she could take her.
Halloween was huge with flying bats and all sorts of other things. What amazed Isis was the fact that the huge pumpkins were even possible. When the feast appeared she put some on Maat's plate and they both ate.
"I can't believe you brought your sister," Teddy said.
"Well she wasn't happy with what had happened so I've invited her to come to the Halloween feast."
"And I like it," Maat told him.
"Well I'm glad that you do," Teddy said and then returned to his meal.
When the feast had ended Isis took her sister back home and when she knocked on the door Angelina opened it. Isis explained that her sister wanted to be called Maat now since she didn't like her old name of Lily. She then told her why she didn't like the old name and Angelina sighed.
"Well she's lucky that Harry decided to leave and take his mum to dinner," Angelina said. "And I won't tell him that she went to the Halloween Feast."
"Thanks," Isis said and then left to return to Gryffindor tower.
