Chapter 10-The Test.

Harry woke up feeling strange. His memory was fuzzy, and was surprised to see Sirius leaning on the door, facing Harry.

"Sirius, what are you doing here?" he said groggily.

"Our guest seems to be interested in you." He replied

"Why?"

"What you said last night, when Gandalf put on the-as you put it-'floor show', and the way you just sat there when it was on, you're eyes flashed grey." Suddenly Harry felt strange, as though someone else was talking through him.

"Sirius was petrified when you put on your floorshow, he wouldn't have noticed. Show yourself Gandalf-no one is fooled here." Again, Harry's eyes had flashed grey.

"You are perceptive, grey-eyes, leave Harry where he is, you are the one I wish to talk to."

"My eyes are green Sirius, what are you talking about." Whoever this was, it was not Sirius, and his eyes were blue, not black, as they were supposed to be.

"Who are you?" and the man before him morphed from Sirius to the man he had met yesterday.

"You too, are perceptive, young Potter. You and Grey-Eyes have passed the first Test. You Harry, may be an Itsari, but of Grey Eyes I have no idea, he is the one I wish to talk to."

"Who is Grey Eyes?"

"As I said before, to Grey Eyes, during my 'floor show' your eyes flashed grey, and you sat there oblivious to a Wizard's anger. That is something rarely done, even by my own kind, none have ignored my wrath. I find you extremely interesting, Mr. Potter. Not to mention you understood the meaning of Mithrandir, although that name is quite outdated, it should be Faimamrod-meaning White Wanderer. However, you have only passed the test because you are perceptive. But that is an important quality in a Wizard as well. Come, take my hand."

It was Grey eyes who obeyed, not Harry.

"Where are we going"

"Grey Eyes, we are going to the next test, the Test of Anubis"

Grey Eyes still looked incredibly bored. Even though they were travelling through time and space. They ended up in a white room.

"What is the Test of Anubis-decorating test? If it is, you must have failed."

"You know full well what the test is, Grey Eyes, show me Anubis"

Grey Eyes paused, then smiled. He held his hand up and looked at Gandalf's staff. It flew from Gandalf's hand, and into the waiting hand of Grey Eyes. He dropped it instantly, snatching his own hand to get it away from the staff.

"Not even you, no matter how powerful you are Grey Eyes, you will not be able to touch my staff without permission." With a beckoning finger the staff floated to Gandalf. Snatching out of the air, Gandalf flipped it horizontal, smacking Grey Eyes/Harry over the head with it.

"OW!" screamed Harry. Looking up, Harry studied his surroundings. Subconsciously, Harry realized what had happened, the one Gandalf called 'Grey Eyes' had taken over his mind somehow. But Harry must learn to watch what his body was doing even when he wasn't controlling it. Feeling the pain in his hand and head, someone had hit him, either to bring him to his senses, or to knock him out.

"What have I done?" he asked, hoping that he had not tried to hurt Gandalf.

"Trying to pass my test. Grey Eyes is a demon, not a Wizard, now it is your turn though. Show me Anubis."

Harry considered, Anubis was supposed to be an Egyptian god of Death or something to do with it, how was he Harry supposed to show him something he had never seen?

Wait, hadn't Hermione shown him something about revealing knowledge, humanely?

He looked for his wand, but could not find it. Nor could he find his back pocket. He flushed bright red as he realized he was still in his underwear. After he stopped blushing he realized that at the though of his clothes, they had appeared.

"Why is my hand hurt, Gandalf?"

"Grey Eyes tried to remove my staff, and as you have seen the extent of the power here, I advise you not to try it to gain my staff."

"OK," picturing his wand, it appeared in his hand. He conjured a small pin. Raising his wand he pictured a brain, and Gandalf's head.

"portus!" in seconds, there came a familiar tug behind the navel, and he was in Gandalf's mind. Looking to the left, he saw swirls of colour and a rickety sign labelled with a language Harry had never seen, but understood, checking it was him that understood, not Grey Eyes. The sign said "Magic". Harry looked left, and saw a sign, written in the same language stating "Knowledge of Middle Earth and The Plane" Intrigued by what the 'plane' was he made to move left. But some sort of mental trigger kicked in, and he stopped himself. Just as he did so, the sign shattered along with the platform it labelled, and fell into a deep chasm, and in it's place; there rose a small, square platform, carrying a tall man in a white robe. He bellowed from the distance:

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" With that, the platform came to where Harry was standing.

"You really think you can get through my mind that easily, Mr Potter?"

"Be silent, fool! We seek Anubis, not the Plane."

"You be silent Grey Eyes, you have failed this question, and it is Harry's turn."

Harry snapped back, he had observed what Grey Eyes was doing, and decided to use him to his advantage. From what Gandalf had told him before this place, Grey Eyes had tried grabbing the staff without thinking, and from what he could see, had been snappy with the Mini-Gandalf, so Harry found him impatient and demanding. So if his attempts didn't work, then I should try the opposite Harry thought. Winging it, he simply said:

"Show me Anubis, please"

"This is your test. Ask the right questions, and you will get what you need." After pausing for a moment, Harry asked:

"Could you show me the way to Anubis"?

Gandalf simply said, "There are many ways to Anubis"

"Show me the safe way"

Suddenly a booming, bodiless voice said

"Congratulations, you have passed part of this test. You have figured out how to summon him, but now you must."

A/N: really sorry about the delay, it's been havoc. Keep reviewing 
