Okay, I've decided to test my writing skills and write a Fanfic of my own. I love crossovers so I've decided to write one as my first. All you need to know about me, for now, is…
I don't own House of Anubis or Harry Potter
P.S: This is the Harry Potter version of House of Who? /House of Frauds from Season 2 and is after Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. No Eddie.
Chapter 1: House of Arrivals
Fabian Rutter was studying.
But it wasn't for any test coming up soon. No, those were a long way away. He was looking through every Egypt related book in the Frobisher Library; looking for anything related to the Mark of Anubis. As he turned a page in Mysteries Within the Tombs, he came across a grainy photo of a skeleton clad in rags. Sealed inside a false passage. A trap of the pharaohs.
With a shudder, he remembered the words of his best friend, Nina. "We've got to find the cup first. Or else, we forfeit our lives." He hoped that, sometime in the future, someone won't find a picture of HIM as a skeleton. He recently felt the touch of the Mark given through a very vivid dream. Since Sibuna was currently dormant, he had taken matters into his own hands. He knew he would only make Nina angrier at him for leaving her out but he felt it would be terribly awkward; he had broken up with her and Amber's glares across the table at breakfast were bad enough.
He suppressed a small smile as the two girls on his mind walked in. They were laughing about something but stopped when they saw him. A small wave got him a sad smile.
"Hey…" he said softly. Images of him and Nina together instantly flooded his mind but he forced himself to push them away.
"So," Amber said, breaking the awkward silence, "Find anything Frobisher related?"
"No," Fabian said, "I was looking for…" he trailed off as Nina glared at him. "Looking for...a better hiding place for the Cup."
Amber grabbed the heavy volume and read the title. "Mysteries Within the Tombs? Fabian, I know for a fact that Nina has the Cup in a VERY good hiding place. Do I look stupid to you? Okay, don't answer that."
Fabian chuckled and, to his relief, his motives weren't questioned. They walked up to the mezzanine and found the library log book. "Here!" Nina suddenly cried excitedly, "Look! Fables of Egypt-Volume 7. It's the same title as the other books that spell Frobisher. It was taken out by…DABed? What kind of a name is that?"
"Well, I know I've seen a book like that with Mrs. Andrews," Amber stated. Fabian didn't know what to say to that but wanted to check it out nonetheless.
"Great," Nina said, putting the log back and walking down the narrow, twisted staircase back down to the main floor, "We can check the French classroom before school starts. That's an hour from now."
Nina's POV
"So now we know that Mrs. Andrews does have the book. How do we get it back without being suspicious?" Fabian asked me.
I didn't want to be left alone with him; it would be too awkward. He didn't know that I still loved him. "AMBER and I will sneak to the library and get the book as soon as she returns it." I avoided his gaze, afraid that he knew what I was trying to do.
"Just be careful." And with that, he left.
I decided to go back to the House and call Amber as she had gone off somewhere with Alfie. She needed to know the plan, ASAP. Grinning at the memories of her reactions to the more dangerous ideas we've had, I packed up my bag and ran outside.
"Amber!" I called, opening the main door. No matter how many times I walk through those large wooden doors, the mysterious aura around the house, even in broad daylight, amazed me. I suddenly heard voices in the common room. The doors were closed but I could make out a boy's voice-loud and clear.
"This place isn't half bad. I can see myself living here."
"Yeah," another voice sounded, "Anywhere would seem nicer than you hovel, wouldn't it Weasley?" It drawled.
"Shut up, Malfoy." A girl's voice rang. I was curious to know what they were doing in Anubis House but I had more pressing things to think about.
Quietly crawling up the stairs, past Victor's office-where he was petting Corbierre, and down the hall, I opened my bedroom door to find a giggling Amber with Alfie, making a scrapbook. I rolled my eyes; I remembered when she had made one for me and Fabian when we weren't even dating. Fabian! With a pang, I knocked. "Amber, we need to talk." I looked at the expectant Alfie, sitting on the edge of the bed, "ALONE."
He hung his head and slowly walked out of the room. "Ninaaa." Amber whined indignantly, pointing to the array of photos on the pink bedspread, "We were..."
"I know what you were doing," I cut in. We had no time. Mrs. Andrews could already be at Frobisher Library. I quickly relayed the plan to her.
"Do I have time to change? I've been in these things all day." She asked. Seeing the look on my face, she pushed back her long, blonde hair and sighed. "Fine! Now come on, she could already be there."
I hid a laugh behind my mouth and followed her out of the room.
We ran all the way from the library with the book. I couldn't believe that Victor wanted the book too and that, as he was leaving with it, we had to stop him until Jasper came. I was breathing heavily and pushed the door open, only to be knocked down by Fabian.
"Wh-what are y-you doing here?" I asked, trying to catch my fleeing breath.
"Looking for you guys, that's what!" Fabian said, a surprised tone in his voice, "Where were you?"
"Frobisher Library." Amber said matter-of-factly, "We got the you-know-what."
I pulled open the flap of my bag so he could see the spine of the book shining up at him. He beamed at me and I smiled back. I wondered what he was thinking about.
"Okay guys," Amber said, breaking my train of thought, "Let's get inside and finish this book puzzle."
We ran inside and almost went upstairs to collect the other letters for 'Frobisher' when we heard voices again in the common room.
"How is it that we get to miss school to come to a muggle school? It doesn't make sense."
"Dumbledore said that Harry needed the temporary protection from You-Know-Who and wait for the Order to organize a proper protection system."
"Yeah, but why does Malfoy have to come with us? It's bad enough being at Hogwarts with him!"
Turned to Fabian's and Amber's confused faces. Protection? From You-Know-Who? This was like Joy all over again. Or at least the teachers' version of why she disappeared. Who was Malfoy? I took a deep breath and opened the doors. Three heads turned in my direction. There were two boys sitting in the armchairs and had to crane their necks to see us. One dark haired, the other a redhead. The brown-haired girl who was examining the alligator on the table looked up and smiled at us.
"Who are you?" Amber asked.
"Amber!" I nudged her shoulder and she turned to me.
The dark haired boy, who was like a thinner version of Fabian now that I saw him better, stood up. "Hi, do you live here? I'm Harry. Harry Potter."
So, did you like Chapter 1? Please review. I don't mid bad reviews: all they say is "Do better". As a big fan of House of Anubis, I try to keep the characters as they behave in the show. Did I do a good job? Please review and I'll update soon.
