As soon as Abott finished talking something from inside the vault moved. We turned to see a gold band with a symbol on it. It flew straight at me, it stopped right in front of my face.
Grab it, and put it on your head. - deep voice said
I did as I was told. The moment my hands touched it, I felt the power that was radiating from it. I put it on and felt what could only be described as a protective hug. Once it was on I felt it change, it went from being on my forehead to a headband.
"So the crown of Anubis has accepted you. It will remain forever on you. But you should be able to move it around your body by thinking of where you want it to move to." Abott said
I did as he said, I thought about the crown moving. I moved and wrapped itself around my wrist, above where the scorpion bracelet was.
"Is there anything else I can help you with today?" Abott asked
"No, I thank we are done for the day," I said
"Okay, follow me and I'll lead back up to the top of the bank," Abott said
We followed Abott. As we followed behind him he talked a little more.
"While you are in Egypt I do suggest stopping by our magical districts. We are less regulated than the ones you might be used to. Plus you might find something there that might help." Abott said
"Do you know anything?" I asked
"I might, but all I can say is go take a walk down district 12 and 13," Abott said
"You aren't going to give me a straight answer are you?" I asked
"No," Abott said
"Fine," I said
Imhotep and I finished up our business with Abott, then left the branch and followed Abott's directions to the districts 12 and 13.
"Don't draw attention to yourself. Let's look around then head home." I said
"I could say the same to you," Imhotep said
I rolled my eyes at him. He grabbed my arm, turned me around, and pushed me against the wall. He grabbed my chin and made me look up at him.
"Didn't we just have a conversation about you not rolling your eyes at me," Imhotep said
Who does he think he is to touch you. -Tom
He thinks he is still in Ancient Egypt. -I said
I can hear you two. -Imhotep
"I will try to not roll my eyes at you, but it is a force of habit," I said
He doesn't say anything, but he does let go of me and step back. We continue down towards districts 12 and 13. We could tell the as soon as district 11 turned into 12. The color scheme changed, and so did the mood.
I can feel the darkness here. I bet Mr. Mummy can too -Tom
"Can you feel it. I know the person in your head should be able to feel it." Imhotep asked
Yes, he can feel it and he knows you can feel it as well. - I said
We continued to walk, we passed many different stores and shops. We hadn't found anything that warranted us to stop and go inside till we reached the district. There was a store at the end of the district, had the symbol of Anubis on the outside of it. Imhotep and I shared a look before we headed inside of it. Once we were inside we didn't see anyone else in the shop.
"Do you think this is the shop Abott wanted us to see?" I asked
" I don't think so. We haven't even entered the 13 district." Imhotep said
"Maybe but I didn't even see the entrance to the 13 district. With the others, there were signs or one district just turned merged with the next. All there is a wall." I said
We continued to look around the shop, we still had yet to see anyone in the shop. As we moved we got closer to the back of the shop. As we get closer, is see Imhotep looking around.
"What is it?" I ask
"I don't know I just feel something calling out to me," Imhotep said
I nod. I follow behind him. He walks up to the back corner of the shop. He stops and looks at something on the wall. I step around him and see half a necklace.
"What would one do with half a necklace?" I asked
"I don't know but this is what I've been feeling," Imhotep said
"Let me see if Mathayus knows anything about it," I said
Mathayus.- I said.
Yes, how can I help you? -Mathayus
Do you know anything about a half necklace? That would call out Imhotep. - I said
Let me see it.- Mathayus
I moved so I was standing directly in front of the necklace.
That work? - I asked
It takes a moment for him to answer but he does.
Take it is yours. It's another one of the lost gifts of Anubis. It lets the wearer appear younger. Sadly the way for it to work is if it is together. So you are going to have to find the other half. But you should be able to find it with the help of the bracelet. - Mathayus said
I then told Imhotep what Mathayus told me. I picked it up and headed towards the front of the shop. There was still no one there.
"So should we wait or just go?" I asked
"Well, Mathayus said it was yours. Plus there's no one here so why wait." Imhotep said
So we turned and left the store. Once we were outside the store. I held the necklace in one hand and moved my bracelet to a ring. I felt the pull of the necklace. I looked up to follow the pull but saw it was leading to the other side of the brick wall.
It must be like Platform 9 3/4. Put your hand on it and see if it pass through. - Tom
I put my hand forward and it passed through the wall. So I reached back grabbed Imhotep and pulled him through. If we thought that district 12 was dark then 13 would be black. I could see Tom smirking in my head, and Imhotep smirking on the outside. I continued to follow the pull of the necklace, the pull leads us to another shop. I put the necklace half that I already had in my pocket. Imhotep and I walked inside. I continued to flow the pull, it pulled us to the back of the store. I found the other half hanging up. It was behind a thing of glass.
"Stay here, I'll go find someone," I said
I walked around the store for a few minutes before I found someone. I walked up to the man.
"Excuse me, sir," I said
He turned around to look at me he didn't quite look like he wanted to help me.
"What can I do for you little girl?" The man asked
"I would like to buy to buy something, but it is behind some glass," I said
"Where is it?" He asked
I lead him over to where the Imhotep was waiting.
"Which item is it?" The man asked
"The half necklace," I said
The man looked at Imhotep and me for a while, we could both tell he was thinking over if he was going to let us buy it or not. But in the end, he unlocked the case and handed me the necklace, I felt the one in my pock heat up.
"Are you two sure you want that it's not worth much." the man said
"Yes, we're sure," Imhotep said
"Okay follow me to the counter, I'll go ahead and check you out unless you want to look around more?" the man asked
I looked over at Imhotep.
"No, I think this will be all," Imhotep said
"Okay." the man said
We walked over the counter.
"Okay, it will be 50 gallons. How will you be paying today?" the man said
"Seal," I said
I thought about the Le-Frey ring and then stamped on the sheet of paper. I pulled my hand away to look at the seal. Once the shop owner saw the seal his eyes grew huge I paid him no mind, I simply grabbed the second half of the necklace and left the store with Imhotep following behind me.
... Time Skip Arriving Home...
Imhotep and I got home to find most of the family in the library. mother was reading one of the books we had gotten the day before once she saw me she closed the book.
"Welcome home you two. Did you do what you needed to do?" mom asked
"Yes, I think we did. We even found something I didn't know I was missing." I said
"I'm happy for you honey. But while you were gone your farther and I were talking and we have a question." Mom said
"Okay ask away," I said
"How are you going to handle meeting your old family?" Mom asked
"I don't plan on handling anything. Those people aren't my family you guys are." I said
I see that Mom, Dad, Alex, and Uncle Jon smiling at me.
"Do you know how you are going to act about magic?" Dad asked
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I think what your father is trying to ask is that in the eyes of other witches and wizards we are muggles and you are a muggle-born. And after seeing how they treated us the other day..." Mom trailed off
"I'm going to play dumb. I'm going to act like I don't know a thing." I said
"So you are going to let them think that you are a...what's the word?" Dad asked
"I believe the word you are looking for is Muggleborn." Mom said
"Yes, I am. They will underestimate me. I will also get to see how the wizarding world treats muggle-borns because if the people from Diagon Alley were anything to go by it won't be good." I said
"Wait, so you want to treated badly?" Alex asked
"People will hear O-Connell and think I'm muggle-born. I'm okay with that." I said
No one said anything. I looked up at Dad, He had this look on his face.
"Yes, Dad?" I asked
"You are going to play one of your games," Dad said
"Maybe," I said
"Who all is going to be at the receiving end of this game?" Dad asked
" It depends on how everything goes. As of right now my birth parents and anyone else who made the discussion to leave me with those people. Plus I love playing games and the world is my playground." I said
"Just don't cause to much damage. Or draw too much attention to yourself." Mom said
The rest of the day went by as it usually would have. We ate dinner as a family. Once I was done eating I left the table and headed upstairs to my room. I walked into my room and flopped down on my bed. I picked the potions book that was on my nightstand and began reading it. I stopped my reading when there was a knock on the door. I put my book down.
"Come in," I said
The door opened and Imhotep walked in and closed and the door behind him.
"What can I do for you?" I asked
"Let me wear the necklace we found today," Imhotep said
"Why?" I asked
"Because, if I appear younger more your age then I can go to your school with you," Imhotep said
I looked at him for a moment.
"How do you suggest we get you into the school? You have to be invited to attend. You have to have core magic." I said
"I had forgotten about the core magic part. I thought that the goblins could get my name on the list." Imhotep said
"They could, but that's isn't the problem," I said
Imhotep didn't say anything. I went to say something but stop when everything started to turn black. Once everything was dark I looked around but saw nothing.
"Hello" I yell
Nothing.
"Hello," I yell again
"Hello, Amara I see you have been busy." A voice said
I turn around to see Anubis. I quickly bow to him.
"Don't bow to me child. You never need to bow to me. So tell me what did you do today." Anubis said
So I told him everything Imhotep and I did today. I also told him about what Imhotep and I had been talking about before he appeared. He was quiet for a moment before he spoke again.
"He already has magic it wouldn't be hard to turn it into core or wand magic. I had you save him that you would always have someone by your side who lived in ancient times. That knows about the old gods. I also knew that if you saved him he would never leave unless you tell him to." Anubis said
I thought about what Anubis said. I thought about how life at school would be different. How much better my game would be if he was there.
"How would you make him a wand user?" I asked
"Simple really, I'll give him a wand," Anubis said
Anubis just gave me this look, so I gave one right back at him. I went to say something but this weird feeling washed over me. I suddenly felt this pressure on my shoulder. I turned and saw Imhotep. With his hand on my shoulder. He kind of just looked around.
"How did you?" I asked
"He's touching you. So he was pulled in." Anubis said
Imhotep stayed quite. He just stood there and looked at Anubis. Imhotep's hand slides down my arm to my hand. Once his hand was in mine he bows.
"It's an honor to be in your presence, Great God Anubis," Imhotep said
"I'm sure it is. Amara here was just telling me about your day and your idea about going to school with her. Tell me more about why you want to go with her." Anubis said
It took Imhotep a few seconds to answer but he did. He told Anubis why he wanted to come with me and what he hoped to achieve by coming with. Anubis asked questions and Imhotep answered. I think what finally sold Anubis on the idea of Imhotep coming was his last answer. Which was to stay by my side and protect me. They were both quiet for a few moments before Anubis broke the silence.
"You aren't just saying this to ger your magic back?" Anubis asked
"No. As much as I miss them that doesn't matter. I don't want her to be there alone. We... I don't know these people I help or protect her if I'm stuck here." Imhotep said
Anubis turned his attention to me.
"Tell me, child, what are your thoughts on the matter," Anubis said
I looked from Anubis to Imhotep who stood next to me. I tried to talk to Tom to get his thoughts on the matter but I could reach him.
"It would be nice to not be alone," I said
"Then it's settled. Imhotep will go with you to this school. All I can do is make him a wand wizard. Can you handle everything else, Amara?" Anubis asked
"Yes, I can," I said
Anubis nods and throws his hand up at Imhotep. Who lets out a pained gasp he squeezes my hand to keep from falling to his knees. Anubis slowly brings his hand back to his side. Imhotep lets out a shaky breath.
"Do not worry. All I did was give you back what I took." Anubis said
Anubis then raises his hand and as he brings it back down a wand was in his hand. He then holds it out to Imhotep. It was a very beautiful wand.
"What is it made of?" I asked
"The wood is from a tree in my realm. While the core is a crystallization of the sands of the underworld." Anubis said
"How come he gets a wand made by you while I have to use one from the normal world," I said
Anubis just looked at me for a moment. He didn't say anything for a few moments. He shook his head but just like before he lifted his hand and pulled a wand out of thin air. This wand was just as beautiful as the one Anubis gave Imhotep.
"Now then before you ask I will not tell you what the wand is made of or what the score is. I will, however, tell say that with that wand you will do you title justice." Anubis said
I nodded my head and looked down at the wand that was in my hand.
"I know your plan for the wizarding world. I also know about your plan for the people who gave you up. From now my only advice is to listen to those around you, and remember who you are and what you can do." Anubis said
"I won't don't worry. I know who I am." I said
"So tell me child who are you?" Anubis asked
"I am Amara O'Connell. Queen of Russia and Egypt. Lady Slytherin, Le-Frey, Peverell, Ambrosius. Leader of Scotland and Ireland. Scorpion Queen and your next." I said
