Ancient Egyptian

When Imhotep and I came out of the meeting with Anubis I kind of just flopped back on the bed. I didn't say anything for a few moments. Imhotep laid gracefully next to me.
"So that just happened," I said
"I can't believe I got to meet Anubis," Imhotep said
I rolled over so I was facing Imhotep.
"You are so fangirling right now," I said
"What is fangirling?" Imhotep asked
"Fangirling is being overly excited or obsessing over the fact that you meet someone important or famous," I said
"Oh in that case then yes I am fangirling," Imhotep said
I laughed for a few moments. Once I was done I let out a breath.
"Are you ready for this?" Imhotep asked
"What do you mean?" I asked
"You are going to have to face the people that gave you away. Face a world that turned their back on you." Imhotep said
"I'm ready. I know that they can't do anything to me. Thanks to the goblins. Evy and Ric are my parents not only in this world but also in the magical one." I said
Imhotep nods his head but doesn't seem all that reinsured.
"I should be asking you that question. I mean you are going to have to be a child again. You won't be able to be your normal self." I said
"Who knows. I should be okay. I'll have to get used to wielding my magic differently and not talking in ancient Egyptian. But other than that I'll have you to keep me in check." Imhotep said
"I wonder what you will look like as an eleven-year-old," I said
"I don't remember what I looked like. I hope I'll have hair." Imhotep said
"So do I," I said
I burst out laughing, Imhotep just looks at me. Once I calm down I look over at him.
"We can go tomorrow to get the stuff you will need and get the goblins to get you on the list for Hogwarts," I said
"Okay see you tomorrow then," Imhotep said
He gets up and heads towards the door. He stops, turns, and says goodnight then leaves.
The next morning I got up and got dressed. Once I was dressed I headed downstairs to breakfast. When I walked into the dining room I saw everyone sitting down at the table. I sat down and started eating, I thought about how I was going to tell them about Imhotep coming with me to school.
"Imhotep and I have found a way for him to attend school with me," I said
"What is the plan?" Mom asked
"Get the goblins to forge some papers, so that he can come to school as another student," I said
"How are you going to make him look like a student your age?" Dad asked
"Magic," Imhotep spoke up
I looked over at Imhotep, as did Mom and Dad. No one said anything for a moment.
"Do you really think the um...goblins will be able to do what you need them to do?" Dad asked
"Yes, I do," I said
Mom and Dad were quiet once again.
"When do you plan on going to speak with the goblins and get the stuff Imhotep will need?" Mom asked
"I was hoping after breakfast. The sooner the better. There are about two weeks left until school starts." I said
"Okay, do you mind if I come along? I quite like learning about this new world and I already read all the books I got earlier." Mom said
"Of course you can come, Mom," I said
We all finished eating. Mom went upstairs to get dressed. Once she was down she came back downstairs and we left the house. We headed to the leaky Cauldron so we could enter Diagon Alley.
"There has got to be a better way to get here." Mom said
There are quite a few ways to get to the alley as well as other wizarding places. As you know there is the floo network. There is also Appreciation or the Night Bus. -Tom
I wondered where you went.
It would seem that after your visit from Anubis you locked me out of your mind. -Tom
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lock you out.
I know, it's okay. Just don't let it happen again. -Tom
It won't happen again.
"There are three or four ways. I'll ask the goblins about one of them." I said
We made our way to Gringotts. Once we were inside I made my way up to a teller. I waited for the goblin to finish before I started talking. Once he was done he looked up at me.
"Hello. I would like to talk to Demonhook." I said
"I will go see if he has time. Who may I ask wants to speak with him?" The goblin asked
"Amara O'Connell," I said
The goblin nods and walks past a set of doors. He is gone for a good five minutes before he comes back and motions for us to follow him. We arrive outside Demonhooks office, the doors are open and he motions for us to go inside. Then motions for us to sit down in the chairs.
"What can I do for you today, friend?" Demonhook asked
"I need to know if you can get Imhotep on the list of Hogwarts students?" I asked
"I can," Demonhook said
Demonhook got up and moved over to one of his many cabinets on the wall. He opens a draw and pulled out two files. He shuts the draw and moves back over to us.
"I take it you figured out a way to make his magic work with a wand and to make it so it feels like he has a core," Demonhook said
I nod my head.
"You are also found a way for him to appear younger other than an aging potion," Demonhook said
I once again nodded my head.
"Okay, so I'm going to need some of his blood. Also please have a new name in mind." Demonhook said
Demonhook pushes a bowl towards Imhotep. He cuts his hand and lets some of his blood fall into the bowl. Demonhook told him that was enough. Imhotep pulls his hand away and it heals. Demonhook pulled out a quill with a red feather and pulled out a piece of paper from one of the files. Demonhook would ask a question and Imhotep would answer.
"Name?" Demonhook asked
"Adom Fadil," Imhotep said
Mom and I looked at each. Adom means receives help from the gods and Fadil means virtuous, excellence, superior.
"Birthdate?" Demonhook asked
"February 6th, 1981," Imhotep said
Demonhook asked a few more questions.
"Okay so now that all that is out of the way. I'll file these." Demonhook said
He moved over to the walk and pulled on something. He put the papers in it and close the door back up. it glowed, then the glow faded.
"You should receive your Hogwarts letter very soon. Let's go over all the information. While we wait" Demonhook said
We talked about a few things before there is a flash of light and a Hogwarts letter is laying on Demonhook's desk.
"Well here is the letter. So it looks like everything on that is a go anything else?" Demonhook asked
"Also, I forgot to ask earlier how am I, Lady Black, while Sirius Black is still alive," I asked
"I did wonder when you were going to ask that question. Okay, so this is how it goes. Your godfather's grandfather died. And seeing as his dad was already dead the title passed to Sirius. So after his death, Sirius had a certain set of times to claim the title. He didn't. So when you came in and took the test and it showed that you could claim the title, I simply let you claim it the title. Magic accepted you, as did the Black's of the past. Now before you ask you got the option to claim it because Sirius is your godfather, he also blood adopted you, and you do have a small relation to the Blacks." Demonhook said
I nod my head in understanding.
"Just one more thing, were you able to find any information about the people we will be going to school with?" I asked
"Actually yes. As a goblin friend, you can get all the information you will ever need for free. Also as the Head of the Black family, you get access to Cassiopeia Black's Little Black Book. Which has blackmail information on most of the Scared Twenty Eight families." Demonhook said
He then hands over a file and a little black book.
"Once you open the file it will get extremely bigger. As does the book." Demonhook said
I nod my head at Demonhook.
"Thank you for everything you've done. Go ahead and take 10 gallons from one of my accounts." I said
"Thank you but it isn't necessary," Demonhook said
"I know it's not. But I still want you to take it." I said
"Of course," Demonhook said
We got up and left his office, he walked with us out to the main lobby. We talked as we walked. Once we made it back to the main lobby, I turned to Demonhook.
"Thank you again Demonhook," I said
"Anytime friend," Demonhook said
We left Gringotts and moved to stand in an empty alley.
"Okay so let's see how this goes," I said
Imhotep puts the necklace on. There is a small flash of light. In the place of Imhotep is a boy that looks my age. Even what he was wearing shrunk down so it fits. His hand goes straight to his head.
"Thank the Gods, I have hair," Imhotep said
"Yes that you do," I said
"Do I look…good?" Imhotep asked
"I guess. I mean you looked good before." I said
He smiled.
"Okay so let's get going," I said
We left the alley. Today went how it went when we went shopping for my stuff. We didn't have to go to Ollivander's seeing as Imhotep's wand was hand made by Anubis. We did spend a long time at Flourish & Blotts as Mom wanted a lot more books. Also, Imhotep and I wanted to make sure we had extra books because we knew we would read and learn the information in the year one book fast. Once Imhotep and I had all the books we wanted, we walked around trying to find Evy.
"Where do you think she is?" Imhotep asked
"She used to be a Liberian. We might never find her." I said
"That isn't funny," Imhotep said
"I wasn't trying to be funny. I was being serious." I said
Imhotep's face goes white. We walk around the shop. I still don't see her.
"Well have to ask someone?" Imhotep asked
"That isn't going to go good," I said
I walked up a boy my age that had blond almost white hair. He was standing with a few people his age.
"Um, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but have you seen a woman walking around with arms full of books?" I asked
The group of people looked at us for a second.
"I think I might have seen someone like that upstairs." the boy says
"Thank you. Come on Adom." I said
We left the group and headed upstairs. The boy was right I saw Mom standing with arms full of books. She even had a few stacked by her feet.
"Are all of those yours?" I asked
She turns to look at me.
"Finally, I've been waiting for you. Mind helping me carry these down?" Mom asked
I turned to look at Imhotep.
"Told you. Of course mother." I said
I moved over to the stack of books that were on the floor and started to pick them up. Once mom was done we headed down the stairs and to the checkout desk. The same person as last time was there. I dropped all the books I had on the counter, Imhotep dropped all of his, and then finally my mother dropped all her books.
"I don't even want to know how much. Just do what you do then I'll pay with seal." I said
"Of course." the man said
I hand him a bag to put them all in. It took the man a good ten minutes to magically scan all the books, then to put them in the bag. He then slides me the piece of paper. I thought of which ring, then I stamped the paper. I hand the bag full of books to mom.
"Since more than half of these books our yours you get to carry them," I said
"That and you paid for them," Imhotep said
I looked at Imhotep then hit him on the back of the head. We left the book store and head back to the Leakey Cauldron so we could then head back home.
Time Skip to Arriving Back Home…
As soon as we got back home Dad could tell by how happy Mom was that she had gotten something.
"Amara, hunny what did you buy your mother?" Dad asked
I took the bag from Mom, opened it, and dumped the contents of the bag on the table. About 40 books fell out.
"Only 15 of those belong to Imhotep and me." I said
"And who paid for all these books might I ask?" Jonathan asked
"I did," I said
"I call dibs on going shopping with you next. I could use a new…everything." Jonathan said
"That is why you don't have access to any of her vaults," Dad said
Imhotep and I grabbed our books and left the room. We made it up to my room.
"I can't believe they didn't say anything about me?" Imhotep asked
"What do you mean?" I asked
"I still have the necklace on. I look eleven-years-old. Plus I have hair." Imhotep said
I laughed a little bit.
"Okay in the past five years. Evelyn raised you from the dead. Then we killed you. Then you came back again. Then we fought a HUGE bug as Dad would put it. I have magical powers. They meet goblins the other day. So you looking like an eleven-year-old isn't the weirdest thing they've seen." I said
"You do have a point," Imhotep said
"I always have a point. And I'm always right." I said
The days leading up to September 1st went by pretty fast. Imhotep and I read up on what was going to happen this year. I had to get used to calling him Adom and not Imhotep. He had to get used to not talking in Ancient Egyptian. Tom continued to tell me things I should know, little tricks to learn things faster. But I didn't need the help but it was much appreciated. I also had to get used to not only hearing Tom in my head but also Mathayus. Sometimes they got into arguments that would put me in a bad mood all day because of the headache that would come from the arguments. I also spent days reading the file and book the goblins had given me. It pleased me greatly to have all this information on as Tom put "the top people".
