Fleur and Gabriella waited in the main lobby of Gringotts apartments. Due to limited quarters, they had been assigned to share a room with a curse breaker that she will be working with.

Gabriella fidgeted under the stares of the men. Just entering into her teens, she began to feel the effect of her Veela bloodline. Her sister had the most effect since she was older but it was still uncomfortable being under the gaze of every passing man. Gabby held on to her sister's arm as she saw some men look at her. She didn't want anything to do with those kinds of men and Fleur understood.

She sighed as she waited. She couldn't care less about those men but she ignored them to the best of her abilities. She wrapped a protective arm around her sister. She wasn't used to men ogling at her. Fleur merely gave them the cold shoulder wishing her companion would arrive.

A few moments later, she saw a man in a white shirt, Khaki pants and wearing a hat walk towards them. Fleur could see the long, waist length auburn hair under his hat. The brim covered his eyes so she didn't see what color they were.

Fleur glared at the man but he didn't seem to have any evil intentions. Evil, that is, including asking her to dinner. As the man came closer she could see that he had a dragon fang earring on one of his ears.

She blinked as she tried to remember where she saw that earring before. As she tried to remember, the man stopped and took his hat off in a gesture of respect.

"Good morning," he smiled. There was nothing malicious in his smile. It was purely friendly and the girls felt that they could relax. "Are you the relic hunter?" he asked politely. "I'm sorry but the office didn't mention who you were?"

His eyes narrowed in recollection. Then after racking his brain, he smiled.

"Fleur Delacour," he said. Fleur was surprised that he knew her name.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"You were in the Tri-wizard cup three years ago at Hogwarts," he smiled. "Everyone seemed to fancy you there." She laughed, remembering her own adventures in Hogwarts.

"I was," she smiled. He looked familiar to her then she remembered. She had fancied him then because he looked cool. Remembering his manners, he took her hand.

"Bill Weasley, at your service," he said as he kissed her hand. Fleur blushed and smiled. He then turned to Gabby and kissed her hand as well. The little one blushed as well. She never had anyone done what he did. "A pleasure to meet you both."

"Are you our roommate?" she asked suddenly surprised. Smirking, Bill nodded.

"Now I understand," he said.

"Understand what?" she asked.

"It's a little complicated to explain but if you would follow me, I'll lead you to your room." He picked up their luggage with less effort and walked. Fleur and Gabby followed him.

"Were you briefed on the issue?" Bill asked, not turning his head to face them.

"I was told you would tell me," Fleur said confusingly. They had stopped before a room and Bill opened the door. They followed him in and were amused by the quarters. It seemed like any normal quarters to them albeit a little Spartan. But every shelf was filled with books and pictures that Fleur guessed were of his family. A picture caught her attention and called out to Bill.

"Your brother is Ron?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said as he placed the luggage in their room. "Had the biggest crush on you then. Anyway, shall we talk about the issue or do you want to rest.

"Gabby?" Fleur looked around only to find her sister lying on the bed. She smiled and looked back at Bill. "What is it that they wanted?" she asked him.

"I don't know," Bill said as he offered her to sit. Fleur smiled and sat on the couch. Bill sat opposite her and sighed. "I was excavating this tomb but when I said the name of the one entombed, they were scared."

"What was the name?" she asked.

"It's not really a name," Bill scratched his head. "But he was called the angel of darkness that leads the army of Anubis." Fleur gasped at this. "What is it?"

"In record there were only two persons who were granted the command of Anubis's, the god of death, army," her heart raced. Bill stood and offered her some water. "One was already found. Have you heard about the Scorpion King?"

"Yes," Bill said. "He was defeated in the late 1930's by a muggle using the Spear of Osiris. Who was the other?"

"Let me tell you a story," Fleur leaned on the couch and began. "Long ago there was a guardian of light and a guardian of darkness. It was said that the guardian of darkness became greedy and powerful that the people took matters into their own hands and killed the guardian of the dark. It was said that he even surpass the powers of Voldemort for he was not quite human."

"So they sealed him?" Bill guessed. Fleur nodded and took a drink.

"With him were the talons of Horis," she said. "It was rumored that the talons could destroy all darkness within a soul."

"Will he be unleashed when we open the tomb?" he asked.

"I do not know," she shook her head. "If there was a charm to revive him, maybe. But I doubt it. But we must be very careful in opening the tomb."

"If there are traps and curses, I'll disable them," he said in confidence. "Right now, rest. We'll start tomorrow. If it's okay with you?"

"Sure," she smiled. "Thank you." she went to her room and closed the door. Bill sat there pondering on what to do.

"He's cute," Gabby said as Fleur lay beside her. The older Veela blushed and playfully swatted the sister.

"He's able to resist our charms," Fleur said as she smiled. For once she had a perfect conversation with someone who was not attracted to her. If he was, he was good at not showing it to her.

"He's special," Gabby said. "I just know it."

"I know," she agreed with her little sister. There was something special about the read haired man that she couldn't place.

"Let's get some rest," Fleur kissed her sister's forehead. "Tomorrow will be an adventure."

"It sure is tight in here," Fleur commented as she and her sister followed Bill into the chamber leading into the tomb.

"This camber was not designed for comfort," he laughed. "Are you alright, Mademoiselle Gabriella?" he called out to the rear.

"It is a little dark," she said shaking. Fleur giggled and smiled at her.

"You should have seen the spiders lurking around here," Bill teased her. "Ron would never get past them."

"He is afraid of spiders?" Fleur asked. Bill laughed and nodded.

"He runs like a bat out of hell when a spider touches him," he smiled. They came to the end of the tunnel and the part-Veelas were astounded on what they saw. It was a chamber filled with hieroglyphs and statues of Egyptian gods.

But Fleur was amazed by the state of the walls. It was like new. No cracks, no chips and only partially dusted. It was like it was magically made. She went on and read the glyphs and true enough, it had said what Bill told her.

"Do we dare open it?" he asked.

"Do you think its safe?" Gabby asked her sister.

"How do you propose we open it?" Fleur asked. She playfully took out her wand and pointed it at the wall. "It's not like it will open when I say 'Alohamora'."

A click behind the walls gave way to rumbling as the trio moved closer together and expected trouble. A part of the wall parted revealing an entrance that was large enough to fit a bus. Bill looked at the two ladies with a confused and baffled expression.

"That was so simple it's scaring me," Bill said. Fleur felt her sister's arms around her as she looked at the entrance.

" I had worse," Fleur said trying to ease the tension but failing.

"I'm not so sure about this," Bill said. "I don't know what we would find in there."

"But it's open," Fleur said. "We need to find out before others could destroy the site." Sighing, he agreed.

"Just stay close okay?" Bill braced himself and entered the tomb holding up his wand and Fleur's hand on the other. She blushed at the contact but braced herself. They were going into unknown.

"Lumos," he said and light shone from all corners of the tomb," Bill blinked at the brightness and covered his eyes, allowing it to adjust. "Now this is scary."

But fear turned to awe as they saw the tomb. It was like new. There were different glyphs inside the tomb and Bill began to read them. Fleur and Gabby looked at the artifacts in intrigue.

After a few moments, Bill sighed.

"This is a direct contrast to what you have said," he smirked.

"What is it?" Fleur asked.

"It says here that the angel of darkness helped the people repel an evil sorcerer. The Pharaoh at that time feared him for he had gained the peoples trust. He had a hard time finding a person to assassinate him but he couldn't find a person in his kingdom. Then he blackmailed one of the angel's friends to kill him. If she did not, her child will die."

"That's horrible," Gabby said.

"It sure was," Bill said as he browsed the other glyphs. "The angel trusted her and he died. He was quickly mummified without removing any of the organs and stuffed in this cave. If he rises again the girl wishes for his forgiveness and was truly sorry for her mistake.

"Now this is gruesome," Bill said as he looked at some glyphs. "The Pharaoh was found the next day, ripped into shreds by wild dogs. He was... still alive?"

"What?" Fleur asked.

"The Pharaoh was found alive even after being mutilated like that," he squirmed. "He was enchanted to feel the pain that was inflicted on him by the dogs. He was buried alive and his tomb was kept secret for the people were ashamed on what he did to their savior."

"Is he evil?" Fleur asked.

"The angel? I don't know. He's not if you get on his good side."

"Let's just hope we get on his good side," Fleur smiled as walked towards the sarcophagus. Gabby was already admiring the golden coffin when her sister came.

"Is that his face?" she asked. Fleur giggled and nodded. "He doesn't look like the other sarcophaguses."

"Do we dare?" Bill asked.

"Oui," Fleur said as they pointed their wands at the cover and lifted it. Gabby gasped at what she saw.

There, lying in a coffin, was a six-foot body. He had a death mask made of gold and his body was shrouded by a red blanket.

"He's not local," Fleur said as she looked at Bill.

"I don't think so," he agreed. "Who was he anyway?" Gabby leant and held both hands on either side of the coffin. But she slipped and cried out.

"Gabby!" Fleur took her out from the coffin and cooed her sister. She was crying in pain and Bill saw that her right palm was bleeding.

"You cut yourself," he said as he took a handkerchief and covered the wound gently. As he tied the makeshift bandage, he smiled at Gabby and patted her head. The little girl blinked and smiled at him shyly.

"You're no stranger in this sort of thing," Fleur smiled. "A simple healing charm would do."

"It's not safe using healing charms in places like this," Bill said. "She might get infections."

"You're used in taking care of people," Fleur said amused.

"Being the eldest of seven it tend to have a lot of practice," he smiled at her. "Let's see what else we could find before..." Suddenly, bad memories started to appear in his mind. Immediately, he took out his wand and grabbed both girls and led them to a corner. He then turned around but he never had a chance to see who had cursed him.

Their wands flew from their hands as three men in cloaks appariated in the tomb. Two dementors came from the entrance blocking their escape. Bill winced in his carelessness. He was far too occupied to notice them.

"Damn, bloody Death Eaters," Bill cursed.

Fleur placed a hand on his shoulder. She sensed what he was thinking and looked sullen.

"What are we going to do?" she asked. One of the Death Eaters walked closer and eyed Gabby.

"Can I have this one?" he asked. Bill covered the little one with his body. Gabby cowered from the Death Eater.

"Sure," the other said. "We only need Arthur's son."

"Malfoy," Bill had venom in his voice. Lucius Malfoy took off his hood and faced him. He walked towards the coffin and leaned on it.

"It's a pleasure to finally catch you," Malfoy said. "My master's looking for you." the first Death Eater inched towards them. Gabby fidgeted under his gaze. Looking around, Bill found an opening but it was to the end of the wall. He must get the girls out of here somehow.

"Gabby," Bill said in a whisper. "When the lights go out, head for that opening. Fleur, you too."

"I'm not leaving you to face them alone," she said adamantly. Bill frowned but decided to let the young one go.

"Gabby, ready?" he asked. She said she was and Bill smirked. "NOX!" the whole chamber went black.

"LUMOS!" Malfoy shouted and found that his prisoner was missing one of their members.

"I'll get her," the first Death Eater went after Gabby who had successfully run away.

"It's a small matter," Malfoy said. He looked at the insides of the sarcophagus and took a scepter. "This man was famous," he sneered. He looked at the sides and touched the blood smeared by Gabby's hand. "Your little girl made a mess," he smiled and leaned towards the body.

"She even dropped blood on the lips of this mummy," Malfoy's sneer fell as his face paled.

Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour suddenly had a feeling that their life was over.

A pair of arms suddenly reached out from the coffin and grabbed Malfoy into it. The Death Eater's scream echoed throughout the chamber as blood gushed from the coffin. And unearthly sound mingled with the scream as the sound of devouring reached the other's ears.

The scream stopped.

Malfoy was suddenly tossed away from the coffin and landed near Bill and Fleur. Fleur shrieked as she saw Malfoy's lifeless body stare at her.

Bill was shocked to see it dehydrated. Nearly all bodily fluids were drained from his body. Wrinkles covered the body as the skin sagged from loss of fluids.

The remaining Death Eater shook as he saw the death of his leader. He was about to run for the exit when a body in red shroud blocked his escape. The Death Eater screamed and the mummy tore his flesh and drank his blood.

Bill would term the feeding Ravenous. It was like the monster couldn't get enough of blood. The creature dropped the Death Eater and looked at the dementors. They suddenly attacked it but the creature tore the dementors apart with its bear hands. Black blood and guts flew to the corners of the entire chamber as Bill and Fleur watched in horror.

Never had they seen such carnage made in a short time. They both froze when the creature then turned to them. Bill tried to protect Fleur with his body even though if he knew it was futile. A last act of bravery before his demise.

The creature looked at them, his hair was long up to his waist and his amethyst eyes glared at the two.

His mouth dripped blood as he slowly came their way.

Fleur held Bill's hand and kissed him on the cheek.

The creature smirked and lunged at them.
