Chapter 3 Curse of the Mummy's Treasure
Draco's POV
"I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
I lowered my lips onto Hermione's and took them in a sweet, passionate kiss. That was it. We were finally married!! The whole world now knew that I loved Hermione more than anything else in the world.
"May I present, Mr. And Mrs. Draco Malfoy."
Bet you never thought you'd ever read that, huh? Well, reread it because it was just typed. The hall clapped and applauded as I grabbed Hermione's hand and we walked back down the aisle. She was smiling broadly at all of the people who had come. There was Mad-Eye Moody and my cousin (I think so anyway) Tonks, our old professors, her family, bits and parts of my family who didn't hate me, and all of the Weasleys. And of course, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Ali were right behind us following back down the aisle. They were best men and maids of honor.
I couldn't believe this. It had to have been one of the happiest moments of my life. (Except for the time I beat Harry in a game of Quidditch) I never really thought about being married. I expected to be a bachelor for the rest of my life, but I wasn't. After all of those breaks to Hill Valley Manor, I thought we'd be living there by now. It made a very nice place to vacation though. Anyway, we won't be there for a while. It's time for the honeymoon, and you know what that means… heeheehee…
So the rest of the evening was fun. The reception was very weird and crazy, but still enjoyable. Harry and Ron made their best men speeches and Hermione and I shared our first dance as husband and wife. You can probably guess what that was right? Right?! Okay, hang on. Quick flashback. Roll it!
~Flash-Back~
"Attention please! I think it only fair that our honored guests have the first dance so let's get them out here now!" This was brilliant! Potter was dating Mini Weasley and Weasly is dating Milano. That meant that I had to dance with Granger! My luck was finally changing! I turned to her and said, "May I have this dance?" I think she was too surprised to turn it down. She nodded and got up. We walked out to the dance floor. The music began to play. She placed her hands around my neck, and mine went around her waist. The sing came on at last.
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
~End of Flask-Back~
You get the idea. It was our first dance. Ahhh… the days… But anyway, we had some more fun dancing with the others. She threw her flowers and Professor McGonagall caught them. I know. I was surprised too! I threw the garter and Snape caught it. McGonagall stayed away from him for the rest of the night. At long last, it was time for Hermione and I to make our grand exit and go to the hotel room. It was big with a giant bed and luxurious bathroom. I had some thing to drink and started something, but that didn't last too long.
Ron's POV
The wedding was so much fun! And to think, there's still Harry and mine and Ginny's to go! So we left the party not too long after Hermione and Draco did. Since we were out of London, we had rented a few rooms together. Right now, we were sitting in the room that Ali and I were sharing.
"That was so much fun! We should do it again!" said Harry excitedly. Too much wine. And we're not even allowed, but we got special permission! Made my day!
"Harry, we have two more weddings to go. Take it easy." Said Ginny placing her hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him down. It worked.
"I'm just glad that we have one wedding down and only two more to go. Then all of this wedding crazy will be over!" said Ali leaning back into my arms.
"So what now?" asked Ginny. "I'm not tired at all. What should we do?"
"I brought some cards." Suggested Harry. I wasn't too thrilled. Then I remembered something. I brought the Clue game with me. Never leave home without it!
"How about Clue." I said. They turned to look at me.
"Can we do that? There's only four of us and I don't think that Mione and Draco will be very happy with us if they suddenly find themselves at Hill Valley Manor." Said Ali skeptically.
"Oh, c'mon! We just won't set up their pieces. I'm sure we'll be fine." I assured them. It worked and in a few minutes, the game was set up and ready. I rolled the dice and we were off.
Hermione"s POV
Pure paradise! I never thought life could get this perfect. Well, it was perfect until about twenty minutes after Draco and I had arrived in our honeymoon sweet. We were whisked away. This wasn't looking good. I hit my head and sat up. After looking around, I soon felt very mad.
"Did we make it?" asked Green, who was still on his stomach.
"Oh yeah. We made it all right! All SIX of us!" said Draco, anger rising in his voice. I felt the same way. Their faces shot up and stared horrified at us.
"How'd you guys get here? We didn't set you guys up at all! You weren't supposed to be here." Said Ginny in a panicking voice.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU GUYS!!! THIS IS MY WEDDING NIGHT!!! WHAT DO YOU HONESTLY THINK YOU WERE INTERRUPTING!!! GOOD THING WE MADE THAT PACK, OTHERWISE, YOU'D BE DEAD BY NOW!!!" I screamed at them. They hung their heads and looked at their feet. Draco and I glared at them.
"Look, we're really sorry, you two. It wasn't supposed to be like this. You were supposed to stay there because we didn't add your pieces to the board. We didn't mean to deprive you of certain… things." Said Harry trying to look us in the eye, but he couldn't. I sighed. It felt better to scream my lungs out.
"We'll kill you guys later. For now, let's just get through this weekend." Said Draco turning around to knock on the door. Mr. Body answered with a happy face. Draco and I tried to put on our happiest faces though it was really hard.
"Welcome for another weekend, friends! Come, come, I've got something very important to show you." Said the grinning Mr. Body as he led us to his study. Lying across his coffee table was a coffin. It held a mummy!! Yes, a real live mummy! I couldn't believe it. I thought the pyramids weren't explored until about 1930. I guess this was something different.
"Wow. Mr. Body, where did you get that?" asked Ali breathlessly. She seemed amused. I was, but I'm really concentrating on Draco. I could care less about a mummy at the moment.
"I'm holding it for the museum. This mummy isn't the only thing though. Look at this." He said as he held up a chest. He opened it and showed us. Inside, was a bunch of rubies, diamonds, sapphires, and other jewels that were worth a fortune. I didn't care.
"This is the mummy's treasure." Explained Mr. Body. "He was buried with it, but now it's been removed along with him. Legend has it that there's a curse on the treasure. Anyone who tries to separate the treasure from its master will be punished. I don't know if it's true, but I wouldn't ant to find out." He said putting the chest back down. "Who's up for dinner?" he asked in a cheery voice. Not me. I looked at Draco. He was already looking at me. He smirked. I understood his message and instead of following the others to the dinning room, we went up to his bedroom.
Harry's POV
We weren't really hungry after just having so much at the wedding, but we were polite and did have a little to eat. When Mr. Body asked where Scarlet and Plum were, we told him that they weren't hungry. We weren't lying. They wanted some alone time. After dinner, the rest of us walked upstairs. I saw that Plum's door was closed so we went the opposite way.
"You guys want to sleep in my room? It's farthest away." Said Ali pointing to her room at the other end of the hall. We nodded gratefully and followed her down. After a quick change, we went back to her room. The girls were wearing nightgowns and we were just wearing a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I noticed that Ali kept trying to put her hands in a pocket only to remember that they didn't have pockets in their nightgowns. Ha! We do! That's really annoying at times.
I'm ready for bed. How about you guys?" asked Ron taking a spot on a small couch. We nodded and said goodnight before falling asleep.
Mystery POV
Two people got up at the same time.
"What are you doing up?" asked the first.
"I was going to ask you the same thing." Said the other. "You want that treasure, don't you? The first one nodded in the darkness. "I say we work together. You in?" They nodded again. "Good, then let's go." Said the second person getting up and opening the door. They still heard soft moans coming from down the hallway.
"Don't those two ever quit?" asked the first person quickly walking down the stairs with their partner in crime. "I think I'm going to be sick." That person had gotten a very weak stomach from all of the killings that they had seen.
"Ugg… you're going to make me sick." Said the other. These two had the weakest stomachs out of all of them. When they were half way down the stairs, the second person was sick of having another person with them. It was time to eliminate them.
"Sorry dear." They said grabbing them and tying them up with a rope. The first person struggled, but couldn't get free and was left on the steps. The second person continued down, unaware if another person who had beaten them both to get up. As the second person entered the hall, the stranger fired a gun that was filled with knockout gas. In an instant, they were on the ground, unconscious.
"It had to be done." They said as they disappeared into the study. The coffin was still on the table, but it was empty. "That's odd," said the person, but they picked up the chest anyway. Just as they were about to leave, something stepped out in front of the doorway. The person took a match from their pocket, lit it, and fainted.
!Solution!
I decided to use the character's initials because someone told me that the other way was confusing, so here it is this way.
R: So how'd you do?
HM: That one was a little bit harder.
HP: The end was at least.
G: You had to have remembered a lot of stuff from the first to solve this one.
D: It had a lot to do with the first one.
A: It was kind of fun to go back to the first story though. At least, I thought it was.
HP: Alright, so where to begin…
R: Well, to start, there were two people that we can rule out completely. They are Plum and Scarlet. Scarlet mentioned that she had no interest at all in the mummy. She was concentrating on Draco.
HM: Yeah, so this you can't blame this all on me!
G: We can blame all of that moaning and groaning on you though.
D: Do you really want me to tell you the fine details?
G: No! Spare me, please!
A: Hey guys, their still reading this! Can we please get back to the mystery?
R: Yeah, she's right. The first two mentioned people to come out where together. They were Mustard and Peacock. Both of them have weak stomachs and found the moans and groans quiet nasty.
D: Must we go back to this again?!
R: Fine, fine. Back to the mystery… Peacock tied up Mustard on the stairs and left him there. Then we learned that there was another person out. They fired the gun, which contained knockout gas. Peacock was out. The person took the treasure, and was about to leave when something blocked the door. The culprit took a match from his POCKET. Big clue here.
HM: Lucky guys get pockets in their clothes, but we don't. Am I the only one who doesn't see the justice in this?
HP: Ha, ha!
HM: Oh shut up, Harry!
R: Quit interrupting!
D: You interrupted us. This is pay back.
A: This is just keeping you from getting back to what you were doing before, you know.
D: True. Get on with this already!!
R: All right, the person was I.
G: Ron!! I'm ashamed to call you my brother!
R: This coming from the person who stole a magic mirror, then found out it didn't really work?
G: Touch
R: Right, now the reason that I fainted was because the "mummy" was standing in the doorway.
A: But it really wasn't! Thanks to my own brilliance, I going to the bathroom, and I was coming back when I saw that Ron was about to get up. So I ran downstairs and did a little planning. One thing led to another, and well, I scared the shit out of Ron.
HP: And modest too.
A: That's me!
D: So there you have it! Now go away so I can get back to what I was doing before!
A/N: I liked this chapter! I think it was kind of funny in it's own weird way. Thanks so much for reading. The short piece of the song isn't mine. Oh, and my other story, Harry Potter and the Last Crusade, will be updated soon. It's 1:11 in the morning and I'm tired so I'm off to bed. Please read and review!
Me,
RonFan
