Thank you all for being supportive! Even though I sometimes am awful about updating… Anyways all I own is the insanity! Italics during conversation signal they're being spoken in Egyptian! English is in normal font.

Blinking his eyes open slowly Hari smirked as he looked over his comfy bed. Really…now that they were all at peace with each other it was a much nicer sleeping arrangement. With Ardeth and Matthias as a bed and Imhotep as a blanket it's not so bad. He nestled his nose against Ardeth's chest and gave it a tender kiss as he looked at Imhotep over his shoulder. He smiled and gave the smooth head next to his a kiss as well. He smiled when arms tightened around him, he wasn't exactly sure whose they were…but that didn't really matter. He was just drifting back off to sleep when he became aware of the change.

Opening his eyes he found himself somewhere very different. He looked around in a large star field space that seemed to go on forever. He turned slowly and found himself facing a familiar form. Anubis.

No matter where he put him his childe never failed to impress him. He was able to overcome evil and obstacles in order to obtain his happy ending. However there was still work left to be done. One could not tamper with time carelessly. Though he had not meant for this to happen there was no way to prevent it. Harry had a destiny to fulfill, though he would fulfill it as Hari…at least this time he would have worthy guardians.

Meeting with Anubis probably did not bode for good things. He carefully bowed his head when the God turned his head towards him. It seemed that even Gods could get lost in thought, but it was never wise to disrespect them. "Raise your head my childe, there is no need for you to bow to me."

Hesitantly Hari looked up and marveled at the form before him. Though he knew mortal eyes could not stand to look at a God's body directly what he was able to see was awe inspiring. He blushed when he saw…amusement? Curling the God's lip. He stood there indecisively before finally his courage came back to him and he dared to ask "To what do I owe this meeting my Lord?"

Anubis gave a slow smile, his childe was brave…but no longer reckless, his lovers had helped temper him. "I need you to return to the time before. The time that I originally took you from." He saw the look of panic that was blossoming on his childe's face and chuckled "Do not fear, your lovers will be going with you. Though I doubt even I have the power to stop them from doing so."

Hari took a quiet breath. At least he would have his lovers. He remembered what little Ardeth had told him of the time he had been taken from. Apparently that life had not gone well for him. But he didn't have his lovers, this time it would be different…it had to be.

Seeing that there would be no arguments from his childe yet Anubis continued "I will be returning you to the time that I took you. However I cannot give you the memories of that life. You are a different person and the memories will only confuse you. Perhaps no memories will help you see what you missed before. Your lovers will keep you safe."

One could not very well argue with a God so Hari bowed his head gracefully, his long black hair tumbling loose around him. "As you wish…When do I leave?"

Anubis chuckled and there was a small mischievous smile "Soon…When the time is right."

Hari was mumbling something about tricky Gods when he realized he was once again on Ardeth's chest with his beloveds looking at him with concern. Great…how was he going to explain this one?

Sensing a change in Hari Ardeth reached forward and cupped his cheek. "Is everything alright beloved?"

Despite who his lovers were Hari was never very good at lying. He averted his eyes and bit his lip as he tried to figure out how he was going to tell them what Anubis said. After all he doubted they were going to be very thrilled. What about Ardeth? He was the leader of the Medjai…he couldn't just leave them.

Strong fingers tangled themselves in his hair and forced him to look up as Imhotep stared down with his dark eyes at Hari. "What are you not telling us?"

Hari didn't like the guilt that was building up and he said softly "I had a dream about Anubis…"

The tension became thick as his lovers waited for the rest. Gods did not casually visit people in their dreams; or rather take people to their realms while they slept unless it was important. Unable to restrain himself any longer Hari mumbled out all of it "He says he's going to send me back to my time…with all of you…to finish what was started there….but he can't tell me when."

The silence was almost as deafening as any cursing could be.

Matthias took in what Hari had just said…Anubis had told him this would happen, in his own way. He took Hari into his arms and tenderly kissed that lovely messy black hair "I love you… We love you, this will change nothing."

The reassurance of having all his lovers nestled against him and their strength supporting him. He closed his eyes and just enjoyed the feeling as he realized that what Matthias said was true. This changed nothing.

There was a low chuckle in the background "I'm so glad you agree."

And with that they were falling.

God or no God Imhotep was not amused. He had been planning to start the day with some pleasant lovemaking and see how the day went. There had yet to be any lovemaking and now they were somewhere dark…and cold…and wet.

Hari groaned as he sat up and looked around. The cold and damp was making him shiver so he pressed closer to Ardeth who was quickly wrapping him up in his robe. Ardeth was frowning as he looked around. As a Medjai he had to travel through the years and he knew enough about the world to know approximately where they were.

Their time to collect themselves was cut short as they heard someone approaching them. Ardeth was quick to shield Hari behind him as Matthias and Imhotep stood and drew their weapons. A light came parting through the darkness and form broke away from the trees and stepped into the clearing they were in. "Potter! I should have known… Once again the Savior is too great to obey even the most basic…" Severus trailed off as he took in the scene before him.

There were three men standing in front of Potter, though two of them were far larger than he felt a human needed to be. The third was covering Potter in his cloak but even with that he could tell something was amiss. The Potter he had been dealing with all year had been a snotty eleven year old paltry child. There was no mistaking the fact that the Potter he was looking at currently was completely different. He was obviously older...though Severus smirked when he noted not that much taller. His hair was long; he was dressed in some sort of useless diaphanous robe. His skin was darker though still pale compared to those around him. He could tell whatever this was would only cause more trouble for him. Typical Potter.

Imhotep did not care for the distain this man was showing Hari. He let his blade flash in the light and the man answered by showing him a stick. If the man was trying to threaten him with magic then he was certainly going to be in for a surprise. He smiled dangerously as he prepared to show this stranger exactly what he was capable of.

Realizing what was going to happen Hari quickly stood, despite Ardeth trying to hold him back, and spoke quickly to Imhotep. "You can not hurt him! Anubis said that I am supposed to stop some evil here. The same evil I was supposed to defeat last time before it went all wrong. I do not think this man is evil…just rude."

Severus's dark eyes narrowed as he watched Potter call off his attack dog. Since when did he know Egyptian? What sort of nonsense had the boy gotten into? "Potter I cannot imagine what sort of shenanigans you have managed to entrench yourself in this time. However I am certain that the Headmaster would be quite interested to know why you are out in the Forbidden Forest…again… in such a state."

Hari blinked at the man in confusion. His English was still not as strong as he would like and there were many words the man used that he was not familiar with. He cast a curious glance to Ardeth who was the best speaker among them. The Medjai smiled and bent to press a tender kiss to Hari's temple before narrowing his dark gaze on the man who spoke so callously to them.

"I am afraid there has been a mistake here my friend. We have been sent to this time by Lord Anubis to defeat the evil which threatens it. Hari was taken from this but he is not this Har-ry you are looking for. He was reborn in our time and has been raised there. I am Ardeth Bay, this is Imhotep and Matthias…now if I may ask…who are you?"

A slowly raised eyebrow was his only answer for a moment. Ardeth could feel that the man was using some sort of telepathic trick on him but he let him to see there were no lies. Finally it seemed that the man believed them as he snorted "Well Potter's grip on the English language was always tenuous at best. I still insist that you must accompany me to the Headmaster so that he may decide whether to believe your tale or not. I am Professor Severus Snape."

Imhotep was not yet ready to go with the stranger this…Snape person. He took Hari's hand and pulled him close as he narrowed his eyes at him "I do not think we can trust him. I do not like his eyes."

Gently but firmly Hari pulled himself out of Imhotep's grip "Lord Anubis would no doubt have known that we would be found by this person. He must have intended for this meeting to happen." He gave a sweet smile that had an obvious effect of calming the men down as he added softly "Besides…I know I am safe with you."

Matthias gave a small noise of agreement. "Very well…We will accompany this man until we know more about this time and place."

Severus led them to the castle as he thought about what he had discovered. Their minds were well shielded though he was unable to read Potter's at all for some reason. They had only let him in enough to sense they had no dark intentions. It was fortunate that he knew several languages, one needed to in order to understand the more obscure potion texts. He had his reservations. But he would spend more time observing before coming to a conclusion. At least this Potter was somewhat quiet.

Thank you for your support! I hope you enjoyed it! More to come (of course)!
