Sirius Potter and the Pyramids of Mystery

Chapter 1: Corruption in the Castle

"London, England- Minister of Magic Draco Malfoy, the youngest Minister in the Ministries long

history, passed Educational Decree Number Forty-seven yesterday. This Decree will replace the four

houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and

Ravenclaw, with two new houses, Slandermort and Morganboard. Headmaster Lucius Malfoy

supports the change, saying, This is a welcome and long overdue change...' The students in

Slytherin and Ravenclaw will be but into Slandermort and Gryffindor and Hufflepuff will be put

into Morganboard.

"The Hogwarts Sorting Hat has refused to sort students in protest, so the Headmaster has introduced

the Sorting Cloak, a cloak enchanted by he and two other teachers at the school, Professor

Rodolphus Lestrange, newly appointed as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and Professor

Goyle, entering his second year as Potions teacher."

Harry threw down the Daily Prophet in disgust. "The Ministries all Death Eaters, Hogwarts is all

Death Eaters! I'm surprised they're not in the D.A. or the Order of the Phoenix! The only teacher

there still in the Order is McGonagall and you know what they did to her! She teaches first years to

fly!"

Cho went over and hugged Harry. They had been married for thirteen years and had a son. They

named him Sirius, after Harry's godfather and he would be eleven in a week. Cho knew this was

why Harry was so upset. They needed to find a place to send Sirius to be schooled.

"I know your worried but," Cho went over to the table and picked up a piece of paper, "this arrived

this morning." She handed Harry the letter.

"Dear Harry and Cho, I know Sirius's eleventh birthday is almost hear and he will be needing

schooling. I assume you don't want to send him to Hogwarts, though he probably won't be accepted.

I would like you to send him to Egypt with us. Ron and I are setting up a little school for some

members of the Order's and D.A's. kids. Neville is sending us Sam and Fred is sending us Author.

Who would have thought Fred would get married? Anyway, you two are welcome to come and help.

Please respond. See You Soon, Hermione Weasley"

"Well?" ask Cho. "Do you want to go?"

"There is no way in hell I will ever send Sirius to study under that ass Malfoy so I guess we are

doing."

Sirius, who lay awake in bed listening to his parents conversation, had no idea what waited for him

in Egyp.
