CHAPTER 4 FINDINGS

The sunlight flooded through the drapes of the window as Bes' eyelids fluttered open. She cringed as the lights blinded her. Slowly, Bes sat up to find herself in her bed.

She grasped her head in pain as a wave of pain hit her. She reached up to touch her forehead to find it wrapped in bandages. She lowered her arms and saw that they too were wrapped in bandages from her elbows to her wrists.

Slowly Bes slid from her bed and wobbled to her wardrobe with the full-length mirror.

The Bes in the mirror had a face that was bruised, cut, with several small bandages covering her face. Her shirt and jeans were torn and bloodied. Slowly Bes changed into a clean shirt and jeans. Then with great care, Bes attempted to untangle the twigs and rocks from her hair with complaint from her sore arms. Then she looked again at the mirror.

"You look splendid milady." Yawned the Bes' reflection.

Bes stumbled backwards and leaned against her door. "Okay lets think here. My mirror just didn't talk to me." Bes mumbled as her head began ringing again. With a shake of her head she headed for the dining room.

"I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy." Bes muttered to herself as she limped down the stairs. With deep breaths she calmed herself then pushed open the great doors of the dining room.

Khan looked up from his tea to see Bes standing in the doorway with dropped jaws.

"Why Bes. It's so nice to have you join us." Khan said looking over his teacup.

"Yessss. We were beginning to worry about you, Milady. Hissss Lordship had hit you rather hard." Seti hissed, removing his reading glasses with his tail.

Bes shook her head and rubbed her eyes. "I must of hit my head harder than I thought."Bes said dazed. Then collapsed into the nearest chair.

"You mean you don't remember last night?" Khan questioned as he sat down his cup.

Bes shook her head but soon regretted that. "All I remember is entering the caves…" Bes said looking at Khan and Seti, sheepishly.

Khan strode over to Bes and felt her head. "Hmmm. Your fever broke. But I seemed to have put a bit to much POW into that De-Shifting Charm." Khan said over Bes' shoulder at Seti.

"Well you did hit her with five of them, Milord. You simply didn't think that would work the first time." Seti hissed as he slithered to the floor and coiled up at Bes' feet. "You should have figured that out when she first shifted that shape years ago."

"Well maybe if a certain bag of scales was awake she wouldn't have been hurt like this." Khan hissed back.

Bes arched an eyebrow, as she was lost in the conversation. "Um excuse me. But can one of you please tell me what in the name of Ra is going on?" Bes shouted over their fighting causing her head to ring again.

Khan and Seti stopped and stared at Bes who looked rather flustered.

"Ah yes… I figured it was time to tell you. Now here me out and let me finish." Khan faced Bes, his gray eyes focused on her miss-matched ones.

Khan reached into his pocket and pulled out the wooden stick that Bes had seen him with earlier. Bes ran her elegant fingers over the dark wood. With confusion written on her face she looked up at her uncle. "What is this thing?" Bes asked as she spun it with her fingers.

As she spun it sliver sparks shot out of the tip causing Bes to drop the wand with a clatter. "Should have warned you about that." Khan said as he reached down for the wand. "You should never spin a wand like that. Could curse yourself."

"Wand! You mean like witches and wizards use in my stories in my stories. The kind that turn people to newts and frogs and all that kind of stuff." Bes said with faint glow in her eye and then turned to her uncle with widdened eyes. "Does that mean…"

"Yes Bes. I'm a wizard Bes." Khan said as Bes' eyes widened with excitement. "And was your mother was a great and powerful witch, Bes."

"But you told me that you and Mum were born in Egypt." Bes said.

"Yes we were. But there were quite a few large families of them in our land but our numbers slowly started to dwindle after the war with a witch thousands of years ago. Magic Folk are everywhere. But enough of the past, this is about you." Khan said shrugging it off.

"Why it about me?"

"Because you're a witch Bes." Khan said locking eyes with Bes.

"I'm a witch." Bes said her voice shaking.

"Yessss Milady." Seti hissed as he reared his head. "Born from one of the finest Egyptian familiessss… The D.." Seti stopped as he caught the glint in Khan's eye.

Khan then looked at Bes. "Yes Bes you are a witch…"

But how can you be sure?" Bes asked with doubt in her eyes.

Khan rolled his eyes at Bes. "Bes look at me. Haven't things happened, things you couldn't explain, particularly when you were angry or upset? Now think back when you were mad at me. I grounded you. I remember my hair being turned a particular shade of hot bubble gum pink for a good week."

Bes thought back. The event that stuck out the most in her memory was when she had gotten lost in the market. One minute she was in an ally the next see was in her uncle's comforting embrace. Slowly a grin appeared on her face. "I guess I am a witch." Bes said with glee in her voice.

"Oh that reminds me. This came for you yesterday didn't have a chance to read it." Khan said as he pulled out a familiar envelope with green ink. Bes opened the letter and read:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDY

"Hogwarts?" Bes questioned.

"Yes Hogwarts. One of the best schools in the World. Now go on."

So Bes read on:

Dear Miss Trilogy,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Khan stood up "Ah yeah, that reminds me. You do want to go the Hogwarts, right?" Khan ask Bes, Who answered with a furious nodding and a wide grin on her face.

"Alright then." And with a low whistle a fine white bird flew in through a now opened window and landed on his shoulder. "This is Anut. She is a gyrfalcon. Most wizards use owls. We are known for using hawks and falcons. Less conspicuous than owls. Quite faster too." With a flick of his wand Khan summoned a quill and paper and with his flowing hand he wrote a note. Bes looked over his head to see what he was writing:

Dear Albus,

Bes will be more than happy to go to Hogwarts. Please keep an eye on her….

Bes didn't see the rest of the letter because as soon as she read that far, Khan roll up the parchment and gave the letter to Anut who took it in her beak. And with a Khan nod of Khan's head, she took off and out of the open window. "Don't worry Bes she's made this journey several times."

But what about my wand?" Bes asked.

"That'ssss why Milady that they have Diagon Ally." Seti hissed.

Bes looked to Seti and rolled her eyes. "How many times to I have to tell you. Stop calling me that." Bes said as she took a swing at the cobra.

Bes looked back at her uncle. "Does that mean my father was a wizard?"

Khan sighed and looked at Bes. "No it doesn't. I told you many times already I had no idea who your father was… Or is." Khan said placing his had on Bes' shoulder. "But remember Bes. You were born in a time of Darkness…."

SYeah, with a crazed dark lord bent on destruction. And it didn't help with things having that crazed murderer Black." Seti hissed angrily.

"Dark Lord?" Bes asked as Khan rubbed his forehead and muttered under his breath about 'fried worm'.

"Yes Bes. There was a wizard about a good two decades ago. He started gathering folks under his wing, and meddling in the Dark Arts, killing whoever stood in his way. Which included your grandparents, and of course you mother Bes." Khan said watching Bes' eyes widened.

"You mean my mother was killed by a mad man." Bes growled. Khan nodded his head grimly.

"Now don't get upset. From the looks of the house where you were hiding, she put up a last stand. While we found your mother, there was no sign of your father. We found you under your tipped your over-turned crib covered in grime and a piece of robe that is around here somewhere." Khan said with a sigh.

"You were just a baby yet Voldemort spared your life…"

"Voldemort. Was that name 'pose to invoke fear." Bes said with sarcasm. " Cause it doesn't sound very scary."

"Bes! This is serious. There are still people scared of him. Not many people will say his name. They insist on calling him' You-Know-Who. Believe me Bes, I'm getting a bit fed up with that." Khan said while Bes was snickering.

"But some eventually killed him right? Some great wizard perhaps?" Bes questioned as she began sipping tea from her cup.

"Yes, his name was Harry Potter. He "vanquished" Voldemort when he was just one year old…" Bes widened in shock as she began choking on her tea.

"He had already killed several pure-blooded families much like ours, including your mother just ten days before he went after the Potters. Both Lily and James died at the hands of his wand. But little Harry Potter stood up against a powerful wizard that could easily could of just killed little Harry. But the curse Voldemort used on him backfired leaving Harry with a lighting bolt scar on his head. After that Voldemort vanished. His followers acted like they were "forced" to do his bidding. That's a load of dragon dung."

"Is he dead? Volemort?" Bes said sitting on the edge of her chair.

"I don't know Bes for all we know he could be still out there being the snake of the man he was just waiting for his time…" Khan said with a far away glance in his eyes.

"Enough about Harry now. Come with me." Khan beckoned her was he headed for the hall. Bes stood up and limped after her uncle.

"We on the other hand Bes, were born with the Sands of Egypt in of veins. We were born to be warriors, generals, leaders, and assassins. We are descended from the gods themselves. We are…

Bes slowly followed her beloved uncle with a dazed look on her face.

Now that the morning's events behind her. Bes followed Khan to the library where he pulled down several books about the wizardry world.

"Now I don't want you to go to Diagon Ally with out a clue…."

"But Uncle, why can't we go today?" Bes begged.

"Bes have you looked in the mirror lately. Because of your late night adventure you look like you were ran over by a rampaging hippogriff." Khan said changing the bandages around her head. "I don't want people to think I abuse you know do you."

"But Uncle didn't you curse me last night like you said?"

"Yes, but you weren't all there. You didn't know what you did. You didn't have control. That's what we will be practicing after you are caught up on the wizarding world. Then when you are all healed up I swear we will go there."

"Good." Bes growled as Bes leafed through a book on the History of Magic.

"Ah yes. Here it is. Bes, I believe you will find this book quite useful." Khan said a he handed a Bes a green scaly book called The Dragon Book of Dragons…
