Harry surfaced only after the time was up and swore on his magic everything was just how he'd found it. He looked extremely happy with himself for being able to get into that room. He was humming as they returned to the camp .
"Looks like you had a good study then." Jose laughed when Harry appeared to check on him. "Get what you needed?"
"More ." Harry replied, "Sorry you got cursed because I forgot to inform everyone."
"Eh." Jose shook his head. " It's alright. Some guys showed up here looking for you by the way. "
Harry's good mood evaporated as he entered his tent. Sure enough Remus and Sirius were sitting and eating. Both beamed when they saw him.
"I should kill you, Severus." Harry spat. "I told you not to tell them where I was!" Harry marched over to his trunk and unshrunk his parents. "Hey, Mum . Hey, dad. Sorry it took so long but I had an amazing time at the Israel Library. "
"We know ." Lily laughed, "We heard you mumbling to yourself as you read." Harry blushed then tensed as he was hugged from behind. "Sirius! Remus!"
Harry had to spend another few hours explaining everything to everyone in the room from his first memory of Dudley pushing him down the stairs at age 2 to running at age 13 when his uncle got a little "too rough" with him. He told them what he'd been doing over the years and how much he'd enjoyed it. After that he lay on his bed with his cap over his face and fell asleep. Severus set a Silencing Charms around Harry.
"I'll kill Albus." James growled, "Wait, I'm dead. Moony , go kill Albus!"
"Calm down, Prongs. "Remus chuckled. "He's managed to stay away this long. He's bound to find away to stay away longer. "
"What we need to do is force a few peoples hands and get the war over with." Sirius said staring at his Godson. He felt like a failure. " I know! Lets have Harry do an interview about how he feels about the war still going on and everyone still looking for him! That way everyone in Britain..."
"Will look for him even more!" Lily scolded, "Though it may be our best option at this point."
Severus agreed with Lily and was shocked that Sirius had come up with such an idea. He glanced over at the man on the bed then explained what they were doing for the dig.
Harry woke feeling refreshed. He rolled over only to see a dog. He sat up instantly. Looking around. A third cot had been added. He rubbed his head. Shook it grabbed his work clothes and went into his bathroom. He lived in a Wizard's tent. He took a shower then dressed and shaved. He noted his hair was longer . He shrugged his hair had never grown out before. He left the room to see Severus had woken. They nodded to each other and Severus went into the shower. Harry cut his finger and let blood fall on to his trunk. It unlocked and opened. He began putting his new things away in different compartments.
"that's a cool trunk." Harry looked to see Remus was awake. The man was sitting on his cot staring at him. He looked uncomfortable. "I'm sorry we weren't here for you, pup."
"I could have brought you two with me." Harry shrugged, not seeing the dog wake up or Severus come out of the bathroom. " I could've sent you letters saying I was running and invited you to come with but I'm used to doing things on my own. " Harry shrugged again. He wore only a vest opened over his chest and a pair of jean shorts. He also had his boots on. "Where is it?" he was digging in his trunk again. "How long are you two planing on staying any how?"
"As long as you'll have us, pup." Sirius was back in human form. " Albus wont miss us because we told him we were coming to search for you. But don't worry we told him we'd be searching in South America."
Harry scoffed and sighed as he pulled out a wand sheath . He put in on his forearm and stood up closing his trunk.
"The man is not stupid," Harry pointed his wand and began checking Sirius for charms. "Nothing on you." he did the same for Remus. "and here we go. You have a tracking charm on you. I removed it but that remains he knows where you are and will send someone to see if you are meeting me. you really should be more careful. I will not have you giving away my position. I like my new life too much to be drawn into my old one. "
After Remus and Sirius took showers they went outside the tent . Sure enough Albus was there with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger talking to the Boss'.
"Hey, boss." Harry walked up. Cap firmly in place. "I still have some research to do this morning but I'm going back out to the North Wall to see if I can't find out how the curse was triggered. "
"Right." The boss nodded. "You be-careful out there, Raven."
"I will, sir." Harry said, he motioned behind him. "I have a lot of help between us I'm sure I'll be able to get past the traps."
With that Harry walked away and the men followed.
"You peeked their interest." Sirius hissed, "You should have just gotten to work."
"I'm the youngest on this dig." Harry replied, " They would be suspicious of me anyhow. Remember to call me Allen or Raven. "
They nodded and followed him to the wall. Jose and the others were working farther down on an old spot that had ancient writing on it. They were trying to take pictures of it and translate it. Harry went right to where the trap had been sprung. He began feeling around with his magic. It took awhile but between the four of them they found the exact spot.
"Clever." Harry smirked. "It's nothing more than an anti theft ward. "
"That didn't look like any anti theft ward I've come across." Severus said, "I've never felt one like it either."
"It's an old one." Harry replied, " If you were to go to a Pureblood House you'd find it among the wards. Pureblood's were known for their paranoia and would often use this exact wards built into the wards of the house. I've run into it before. Its not easily broken. Our last curse breaker had to go on leave for Magical exhaustion after the last one."
"And I refuse to do it again. " A man snapped walking up. "My wife 'bout had kittens when she saw me."
"Ease up, Isaiah." Harry chuckled, "I can easily break this one with my blood."
"Eh?" Isaiah shook his head."Only a blood relative can do that."
"Yeah." Harry nodded, "I am one." Harry used his wand to cut his hand and let his blood spread over the ward which he could see as an aura of magic. It burst and they all felt it. Harry healed himself. "There we go. Now I can examine this part. I think we found our entrance ."
Cheers went up over the camp. They'd been at this for almost a year and had been dying to find the actual entrance to the tomb. Harry was soon working in the dirt again.
"ARe you from a pureblood family?" Hermione asked, " Which family? What's your family name? How old are you? Where were you born?"
"He can't 'ear you." Isaiah laughed, "He's working and tune's everything out when he does. It's safer for us that way. " he was smoking. "He wouldn't tell you any of that if he was mind you. You are outsiders."
Hermione huffed. She wasn't going to let this go. She'd get her answers one way or another. This boy had to be Harry. She'd get him back to Britain and then she would be famous.
Harry worked hard and gave out orders as he did. Severus literally drug him away from work several times so he didn't dehydrate . Remus and Sirius were asking tons of questions about what they were doing and getting a crash course in helping out. Severus rolled his eyes at that.
