Chapter Six: The Tomb of Knowledge
In had been twenty hours since Harry had died and been revived back to life by Hermione. Hermione had not slept yet she had been waiting for Harry to wake up to see if he was ok. While waiting she thought about different ways she could get revenge on Professor Dumbledore and Snape they needed to pay. Then suddenly after a terribly long wait Harry's eyes opened and he slowly looked up at Hermione and said in a whisper "It worked Hermione but I feel so tired." and he fell back a sleep. Hermione was thankful that he woke up and seemed to be perfectly fine. Hermione got in bed and laid down next to Harry and fell a sleep with a smile on her face.
It had taken Harry three days to get enough strength to get out of bed. His magic was still very low. Hermione fussed about trying to make sure that he got lots of water and food to eat. Over the next six days Harry and Hermione did very little. They would sit out side of the tent and talk to each other about nothing really important and just wanted to be with each other. By this time Harry's magic had replenished to normal and was now slowly growing to its full potential. In about a month's time Harry's magic would be at full strength. Harrys block was now finally gone.
It had been nine days since Harry underwent the procedure and Harry was now fully healed. Hogwarts was now out for the summer. Harry and Hermione where planning on how they would be getting to Egypt. They did not want to go back under Professor Dumbledore control so they decided to find the Vipers Lair which was also called the Tomb of Knowledge where the memory's of all the former Head Priest's and Priestess's where stored. After a lot of debating the two teens decided to travel to Egypt via Muggle methods.
Harry and Hermione got up early the next morning and did there active meditation. Harry had not done any active meditation for over nine days now. Hermione made Harry go easy that morning saying that he should not over exert him self too much because they where going to have a long day.
Once Harry and Hermione where done with there active meditation they went back inside of the tent to take a shower and get dressed in Muggle clothes. Once dressed Harry made breakfast, the tent had magical cooler that supplied food. Once the two teens finished breakfast they grabbed the new trunk and the sack of money that Draco Malfoy gave them. They then started to take the tent down. Harry asked Hermione "What about Draco Malfoy he is still inside the tent." Hermione said "He will be fine he won't be waking up for some time now."
Once the tent was taken down they put it in the trunk. Harry shrunk and pocked the trunk then Harry looked in to Hermiones mind to get a picture of where they would be apparating to. Once he got the picture in his mind. He checked that he and Hermione where wearing there rings so the ministry would not detect there magic use. Then the two teens left the clearing with a pop.
The two teens appeared in a corner of a parking garage. Hermione had picked a good spot as no Muggles saw them appear out of thin air. Harry and Hermione walked from the parking garage and into the airport terminal. The two teens check the list of out going flights and found a flight to Cairo Egypt in forty minutes. Harry and Hermione went and found an area where no one could see them and they turned invisible.
Harry and Hermione snuck threw security and went to search for there gate. About five minutes before the plane was to leave they snuck on to the plane and went to the very back. Hermione cast a notice me not charm so they could be come visible again. Soon the plane took off and was heading to Egypt.
The flight lasted over six hours. During the flight Harry and Hermione talked about where they would be staying. In the end they decided to stay in the Wizarding section of Cairo but under disguising charms. Once the plane landed Harry and Hermione turned invisible again and took down the notice me not charm. They carefully got off the plane and it took Harry and Hermione over ten minutes to sneak past the security check point and out of the air port.
Once the two teens where out of the airport Hermione said "When Ginny told me about her trip here she said the Wizarding section is at the southern part of the city." So the two teens found a secluded spot and turned them self visible Then they change there looks with a few charms. Then Harry and Hermione started to walk south. After three hours of walking the sun was just beginning to set. A few minutes later they found a very long wall and gate that everyone seemed to look away from.
The two teens knew they found what they where looking for. Harry and Hermione walked up to the gate which opened on its own. When they walked threw the gate they knew they found the right spot for sure. The two teens looked for a place to stay the night. They found a small pup that had some rooms available. Harry went and paid for two nights. The two teens put there stuff up in there room and came back down for dinner. After dinner the two teens went up to there room to have a romantic night.
The next morning Harry and Hermione got up at there usual time and did part of there active meditation until around six when they took a shower and got dressed for the day. Then Harry and Hermione had breakfast. After breakfast Harry and Hermione went exploring the magical section of town. They mainly looked for different maps of Egypt's vast deserts. By the end of the day Harry and Hermione found thirteen different maps and Hermione had bought a bunch of books.
To read them she would have to use a translation charm. They also bought a flying carpet they would be using it as there mode of travel when they were search the dessert. They had dinner that night and then spent the rest of the night going over the maps while referencing the Parseltongue book about the Viper Order. They found three likely spots, early the next morning they would leave to hopefully find the tomb.
The next morning the two teens packed up there stuff and had breakfast. They then went out on the pubs third floor balcony and laid out the flying carpet. Hermione put some notice me not charms on the carpet and then the two teens got on to the carpet. Harry took out his wand tapped it on the carpet and it took off in to the air. Hermione then did a point me spell and told Harry what direction to go.
As the sun came up and the day got hotter Hermione had Harry land the carpet so they could put on there order uniforms where the magic of the uniform would keep them cool. Harry comment on how much he hated the uniform. Once they changed they took off again. By four in the after noon they where at one of the possible places that the tomb could be at, Harry and Hermione searched the area until sun down but did not find anything.
Harry decided that they should set up camp for the night and try again in the morning. They spent the following day searching the area but in the end they concluded that the tomb was not there. The next morning the two teens broke down the tent and got out the carpet to try the next spot. The flight lasted until a little after one o'clock. They landed the carpet and started to search the area. Twenty minutes later Harry called Hermione over.
On the bottom of a rocky cliff Harry found an engraving of a large Viper. Harry was pretty sure that he had found the entrance to the Tomb of Knowledge. Hermione a few seconds later appeared next to Harry with a pop. Harry turned back to the Viper and hissed "open" The engraving started to move and the viper opened its eyes and asked "Why are you seeking the Tomb of Knowledge young snake speaker?" Harry hissed "We are here to restart the Viper order."
The Viper engraving said "Very well you shall be judged." Then suddenly there was passage way. Right in front of Harry and Hermione was a very large ethereal Viper. The viper hissed "Follow me and do not stray from me or else you will find death." Harry and Hermione followed the ethereal Viper inside.
The two teens did not find a cave but an underground palace that looked to be brand new there was no dirt or dust anywhere. The floor was made of polished marble the walls where made of smooth light brown stone. On the wall was tapestries of a large Viper in the back ground were a sword and a whip that looked just like Harry and Hermiones wands in weapon mode. There were six sky lights letting in sun light. The place screamed of elegance.
The two teens followed the ethereal viper up a set of real nice stairs and threw a set of double doors which opened on there own. The two teens found them self's in a great hall. There where two really long tables made of rich wood and trimmed with gold on both sides of the great hall. There where chairs along one side of the tables nearest the wall. At the front of great hall was raised platform which had a smaller table and behind it was two very large and comfortable chairs which where more like golden thrones.
The ethereal snake led the two teens to the front of the hall and past the head table and behind the two throne like chairs. There on the wall was an engraved seal of the Viper Order. The wall suddenly slid open. The two teen saw a small room with a large glass orb sitting on a golden pedestal. Harry and Hermione followed the ethereal snake in to the small room. The Viper said "Kneel before wisdom!"
Harry and Hermione kneeled before the large glass orb. Then Harry and Hermione felt something enter there minds. They tried to fight it but it was to no avail. They saw there whole life flash before there eyes and then suddenly it stopped and they heard a chorus of voices in there mind "Why do you seek to restart the Viper Order." Harry answered "To defeat Voldemort and the pure blood ideals that has started so many wars and to reunite all the magical beings in a collective government."
The voice said "Very well we have seen both of your lives and seen how both of you have already worked hard to restart the Viper Order. I declare you Harry Potter son of James and Lily Potter the Head Priest of the Viper Order and we declare your mate Hermione Granger daughter of Dan and Emma Granger to be the Head Priestess of the Viper Order."
Two silver lights left the glass orb one hitting Harry and the other Hermione. The voices spoke again "You now have total control of Vipers Lair/the Tomb of Knowledge. Tomorrow you two will return to your homeland. High Priest you have the power needed to make what you call a Portkey to your homeland of England. You two will return with recruits to join the Viper Order. We will then train all of you in advance magic that has long been thought dead. You will have the knowledge needed to succeed in your goals. We are now going to place the layout of the Viper Lair in your mind so you can find your bed chambers for the night."
A few seconds later Harry and Hermione knew how to navigate there way around the Viper Lair. Harry decided they should get Malfoy out of the tent and put him in one of the prison cells. So Harry and Hermione went out side of the underground palace to get the flying carpet and the trunk and move them inside. Hermione opened the trunk and took out the tent. Harry and Hermione quickly set the tent up in the entrance hall and went and got Malfoy out of the cupboard.
They then took Malfoy down to the prison level. They found down in the prison level three double sided rows of prison cells. There must have been close to a hundred cells. They stuck Draco Malfoy in the first cell leaving him in his potion induced coma. The cell was four by nine feed long. At the back of the cell was tiny steam with running water that ran the length of cells. There was nothing else except for a few eyehole hooks to chain up a prisoner.
Harry and Hermione then went back to the entrance hall and cooked them self's dinner in the tents kitchen. Harry also cook there breakfast for the morning. Harry placed a preserving charm on the breakfast. After dinner Harry and Hermione tore down the tent and put it back in there trunk. Harry and Hermione then went up to there chambers. There chambers where very large. When they first walked in they saw a large sitting room which was very lavishly furnished with very comfortable chairs beside each chair was a small table.
In the sitting room there where three doors one door led to a study. The study had a very large half circle desk. Behind the desk were two very large and ornate chairs. Harry and Hermione each would have half of the desk to them self. On the wall behind the desk was a very tall set of selves with lots leather bond books and scrolls sticking out of the self. There was a sky light that shown light on to the desk.
The second door off of the sitting room was a small dinning or meeting room. There was a rectangular table with two large chairs at the head and smaller chairs around the rest of the table. The sky lights in the dinning room shown light onto the very highly polished dinning table. Harry and Hermione where amazed at how clean everything was. The Viper Lair had been empty for centuries and ever thing looked new still. Hermione comment how historians would love to see this place.
The third and last door of the sitting room led to there bed chambers. There bed chambers where very large. There bed was in the middle of the room on a raised platform. The bed was gigantic. The bed could have easily fit eight large adults on it. The bed was a four poster that had silk hangings tied back and again the two teens where amazed at how clean it was. They figured that there was some very powerful magic preserving the vast palace.
There were two doors in the large bedroom one led to the bathroom. The bathroom had a large pool and a water fall that kept the pool full of fresh and steamy water. At the other end of the pool water drained out in to a short stream. There was a bench with two wholes where you would sit and do your business. The little stream would carry the waste down to the large drain. For the rest of the night Harry and Hermione decided to look threw the books and scrolls in there study. Around twelve the two teens went to take a bath in there large pool, while taking a there bath the two teens gave each other pleasure. After a long bath the two teens went to bed.
The next morning Harry and Hermione eat the Breakfast that Harry made the night before, after breakfast they did there active meditation. Around seven o'clock Hermione got the trunk and shrunk it while Harry made a Portkey to the clearing in the forest that was near Hermiones home. A few seconds later the two teen where no longer in Egypt.
Harry and Hermione appeared in the clearing and they opened there trunk and they got out the tent and started to set it up. Then the two teens went inside the tent to talk about how they where going to recruit some of there class mates with out the Wizarding world fining out that they where free.
Harry said "I wish that Dobby could come and help us." Suddenly there was a loud pop and Dobby appeared next to Harry. Harry gasped before a smile crossed his face. Dobby asked "Oh Harry Potter sir is alright Dobby is so happy. Dobby knew you where fine but it great to sees you. Now what can Dobby do for the great and noble Harry Potter?" Harry asked "would you and Winky be willing to work for me and Hermione. Dobby said "Oh yes sirs I will be right back. A minute later Dobby and Winky appeared with a small bag. Dobby said "We has left a message with other elves to Dumbledore that we quit. We now works for you now." Harry and Hermione told the elves that they would be going to Egypt in a couple days. When Harry and Hermione where done talking to Dobby and Winky they went in to the tent to probably clean.
Once they figured out a plan they cast a few disguising charms to change there appearance. Then the two teens apparated to Diagon Alley and walked over to the twins shop. On the way to the twins shop they saw a page of the Daily Prophet in the ground with there faces. It said "Boy Who Lived kidnapped by Draco Malfoy and taken to Malfoy manor. No trace has been found." Once inside the shop the two teens snuck back into the twins work shop and waited for them.
About ten minutes later Fred walked in to the work shop and asked "Who the hell are you?" Harry quickly scanned Fred's mind and he said "If you promise not to freak out we will show you." Harry and Hermione dropped there disguise. Fred gasped "Harry Hermione your alive and well I will go and call my mom she been worried sick about you two." Hermione ran up to Fred and grabbed his arm and said "No we will have to remain missing to the general public that includes most of your family. We need your help in recruiting some people."
Over the next half hour Harry and Hermione explained everything to Fred and George. They then asked the twins to send a letter to each member of the D.A for meeting at there shop. The only ones that did not get an invite were Marietta Edgecombe, Ron and Ginny. The twins would bring Ginny there selves. The twins wrote the letters in way to imply they would be discussing how to find Harry and Hermione. At four o'clock Fred and George used there delivery owls to send the letters out. The meeting would be at ten o'clock the following day.
Harry and Hermione put there disguising charms back on and made there way to Knockturn alley to get enough ingredients so all the D.A members that joined them could do the sleep reduction and mind enhancing ritual. Once Harry and Hermione had bought all of the needed ingredients they went back to the camp site and spent the rest of the day making the needed potions.
The next day at ten o'clock Harry and Hermione where in the twins workshop invisible while the members of the old DA slowly walked in to the workshop. Once it was clear that everyone that was coming was there. Harry quietly cast a silencing ward and a locking charm. Hermione did a scan of the room. All the invited members showed except for Cho Chang and Michael Corner. Fred said "We have asked you all here because" George went on "We have two people that wish to speak to you." Harry and Hermione became visible and everybody in the room gasped when they saw the two teens.
Hermione started to explain to the group what was going on while Harry started to check each persons mind to see if anyone one was like to betray them. After twenty minutes of Hermione explaining what Dumbledore did to Harry and how they got away from him and a little about the Viper Order. Harry spoke "You are here because I like to ask everyone here if they would like to join us in fighting Lord Voldemort."
The room gasped at hearing Voldermort's name Harry went on to explain about how they would be learning and training to fight. Harry said "I should tell you now the methods we will be using to fight Voldemort are very harsh and dark. If you join you will learn how to kill, how to rip information form a Death Eaters mind and how to torture them as punishment for there crimes. Some of you may not want to join because of this, if you don't want to join just raise your hand."
Parvati stood up and said "Those evil Death Eaters killed our mom and dad so me and my sister are in. I want to get those sons of bitches." Padma was nodding her head as her twin sister was addressing the group. Everyone then started to talk to each other until Susan Bones stood up and said "We are all willing to join you." Everyone in the room seemed to be in agreement. Fred said "We would love to join you but" George continued "We have our shop to run we will provided you with what ever help you may need and if gets really bad we will join you."
After ten more minutes of talking Hermione stood up and said "The ones who are coming with us, you will need to sneak home and get the things you wanted to take with you and let's meet here at say two o'clock." Everyone nodded and slowly left the room. Colin and Dennis Creevey walked up to Harry and said "We are glad to be joining you we will work really hard." The two then quickly ran off to catch there bus home. Neville and Luna walked up to Harry and Hermione he said "thanks for the chance to be able to stick it to the Death Eaters." Luna told Harry and Hermione she might be able to find a type of creature in Egypt and that she could not wait to go.
Ginny walked up to Harry and Hermione and said "The twins told me what was going on already so I have my things already packed." Harry and Hermione where happy they now had twenty people joining there group. Harry and Hermione spent the next three hours talking to Ginny. Hermione had put on some disguising charms and went to exchange some of Malfoys money to pounds then Hermione went and bought over forty rats for the new members to do the two rituals.
At two o'clock the new would be members of the Viper Order where gathering in the work shop. Hermione made transfigured a very large ring and made it in to a Portkey to there camp site. Hermione had all the members grabbed a hold of the Portkey and the twenty teens disappeared. Harry was left alone with the twins. Harry modified there memories and left to the camp site with a pop.
Harry appeared at the clearing where the twenty some teens where putting there things down. Once Hermione saw Harry she spoke up and said "Harry and I are going to alternate taking five of you at a time to get all of you some Muggle summer clothes. It is very hot it Egypt. While we are gone you can use the tent to get some food. Do not leave this clearing."
Two and a half hours or five trips later all the new viper members had gotten some new clothes paid for by Draco Malfoy. The boys got some running shorts and workout-tank tops they also got a few jean shorts, tees shirts and or casual tank tops. The girls got some running shorts or sports skirts and or tube tops or workout bras. They also got some casual short skirts and spaghetti strap tank tops and or halter tops.
Once everybody had there stuff gathered up Harry took the large ring and made it in to a Portkey that would take them to entrances of the Vipers Lair. Harry told everyone to grab a hold and a minute later the new members plus Dobby and Winky disappeared from the clearing. A few seconds later the large group landed in the very large and hot Egyptian desert. Harry and Hermione walked up to the snake engraving and hissed "open"
The snake opened its eyes and then a passage appeared. Harry and Hermione led the group inside of the underground palace. The group gasped when they saw the inside. They where amazed at how nice the entrance hall was. Harry said "Put your stuff down here. We have to see the orb before you are shown to your rooms." The group followed Harry and Hermione into the great hall and past the two thrones. The back wall slid open and the group walked into the room with the glass orb. Harry said in a commanding voice "Kneel before wisdom" and he and Hermione knelled before the orb the rest followed suit.
Then the new members felt a presence go threw there minds. Then the voices spoke out loud "High Priest and Priestess you have chosen well. With hard work you will all become some of the best warriors of magic. For the next three weeks you will start taking lessons from the High Priest and Priestess they will help you improve your mind and body. They will also teach all of you to improve your dueling skills. High Priest and Priestess I wish to see you at three in afternoon everyday. Now we will place the lay out of the Vipers Lair in all of your minds and you will know where your rooms are."
A few seconds later all of the new members of the Viper Order and the two elves gasped as they gain the knowledge of how to navigate the large underground palace. The voices said "Dobby and Winky your kind has been wronged by the Wizarding world. At one time your services where revered. That time will start again you will be respected for the great work that you loved to do. We give you the knowledge of your people's history." Dobby and Winky started to cry when they saw what there ancestors where like and how they where treated.
Dobby said "We is going to work hard to help the Order. We is wanting High Priest Harry Potter and High Priestess Hermione Gangey and the rest of the order to show the Wizarding world that all we wants is to be apart of family and be loved." Hermione started to cry at this point. The orbs voices said "All of you should go and get settled in. There is much to do and not a lot time to do it."
All the members left to go to the entrance hall to get there things and go up to there chambers. Dobby said "We is needing some money to buy lots of food. We will make a big feast tonight. Harry gave Dobby a hand full of Galleons out of Malfoys money bag. Dobby and Winky left with a pop. Harry and Hermione decided to put there things away in there chambers.
