Chapter 9: A Mother Son Talk
Harry Potter was really enjoying himself. He had his mother back and he was telling her all about training as an Auror and the break that he was taking. She seemed to really enjoy being around him and had even come to the Halloween party that the staff had.
"Son can I have a word with you," Lily said.
"Sure," Harry said and sat down.
"Dear I loved spending time with you but you have a family to look after," Lily told him. "Your little girl is very upset that you haven't spent time with her and I, as anyone else knows, know that spending time with your family is important."
"I know but I haven't seen you and I want to spend loads of time with you," Harry said.
"And I'll always be with you," Lily said. "But you should spend time with your family."
Harry nodded and then asked, "Are you coming to the match this weekend?"
"Yes, Severus has invited me to watch the match," Lily told him. "I'll also be setting with Minerva."
Harry nodded and offered to sit with her as well.
"Sit with your family," Lily told him, "Before you don't have one."
"Yes, mum," Harry said.
The match took place soon after that and Isis sit with Harry, James, Albus, and Maat. Isis had explained that until Lily was ready to be called Lily that you had to call her Maat.
"And why did she choose that name?" Harry asked.
"Only heaven knows that answer," Isis had said.
Hermione stayed away from the match, telling Isis that she had tons of work to do. Everyone saw her doing nothing but work but Neville suspected that Hermione was starting to feel something for Harry and didn't want to further ruin his life. During the match Isis told Harry about the Halloween feast but didn't tell him that Maat had gone. In the end Slytherin won the match and Professor Snape excused himself.
"That's strange," Harry said. "He normally is happy when Slytherin wins."
"Maybe he has a lot on his mind," Isis told him. "I mean, he might still be the head of Slytherin House but he does have other things to worry about."
"True but it just seems strange," Harry said.
When Isis returned to Gryffindor tower she fetched the journal of Professor Lime and started reading it. She had left off two months before his death and he had written another entry, this time about a note that he had gotten.
Another blasted note. I don't why he sends them and I'm afraid of going to anyone. I know that the Headmistress suspects that something is wrong and I hope that she never finds out about this. Last night Severus once again got drunk and talked about how much he misses Lily Evens. Gods, I wish he would shut up. The woman's dead, get over it.
"Stupid man," Isis muttered.
"True but he didn't-."
"Teddy, I never said that he deserved to get killed," Isis said, cutting him off. "I'm just saying that he was stupid."
"I wonder if he's going to write out who he believes wants him dead?" Teddy said.
"I hope so," Isis said and then went back reading.
The next day Isis was eating in the Great Hall when a school owl landed and Isis noticed that it had a note in its beak. She took it and opened it. At once her blood turned cold.
"Stop acting like your blasted father, Potter, and leave Lime's death alone. If not I'll personally make you pay by making your favorite Defense Master the crocs next meal."
"Oh no," Isis moaned. "He's going to hurt Professor Snape."
She got up and ran right into Teddy and his father. Both of them looked at her with worry.
"Isis, what's wrong?" Remus asked.
She showed him the note and Remus went white. "We'll get the Headmistress here at once," he told her. "Then we'll see if Severus is here. If he is then we'll protect him."
"Oh Gods, I hope he's alright," Isis said.
Professor McGonagall arrived and Remus showed her the note. At once she summoned Snape and to Isis relief he arrived.
"Someone wants you dead," McGonagall told him, showing Snape the note.
He read it and then handed it back.
"I don't need guarding," he told the Headmistress.
"I'm afraid that you do," McGonagall told him. "I'll have Filch get someone to guard you."
"Fine but I'm telling you that no one wants to get me," Snape said.
Isis wished that was true.
And so Professor Snape was guarded. However the man that Filch chose to guard him left a lot to be desired. He looked horrible with dirty hair and blue eyes. He even smelled, which she was sure that Snape didn't like. However he was safe and that's all that matter to Isis.

"So why would anyone want to harm Severus?" Hermione asked Dora.
"Don't look at me," Dora said. "I'm still in shock that he's innocent."
Hermione knew that she had been shocked because she was there when McGonagall told her that Snape had been forced to kill Dumbledore to keep Draco from staining his soul with murder.
"Well I hope that this person doesn't harm him," Hermione said. "Severus is a good Defense Master and we can't afford to lose him."
"Makes me wonder who would want to harm him?" Dora said. "Oh I've got some news."
Hermione was all ears. "What?"
"I'm pregnant," Dora told her and Hermione jumped up for joy.
"I'm so happy for you," Hermione said.
"Thanks," Dora said. "It's going to be a little girl. I was thinking of naming her Hathor, though I have no idea where that name came from."
"Does Remus approve of the name?" Hermione asked.
Dora nodded and then said, "He was surprised that I was able to get pregnant after where we had both been. I haven't told Teddy, as I don't want him to think that I'm replacing him."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Dora, your not replacing anyone. You're just adding someone to your family."
"I know but you know how sensitive men can be," Dora said.
"Well I'm sure that Teddy will love her," Hermione said.
"I hope so," Dora said.

Professor Snape was heading to Lily's chambers in hopes of asking her out. He knew that she wasn't over the fact that she had returned but James hadn't and he was hoping to court her and start fresh. He still wanted to marry her and he still loved her. Suddenly something hit him and Lily was the last thought that he had before blackness took over.
