After staring at Harry for a few moments Dumbledore began his explanation.
"I know of the Goa'uld from early Egyptian mythology among the magical side, they were once Kings and Gods of men and it is said that they were the first beings with magic. All references to them end with a simple inscription in an Egyptian tomb."
"What was the inscription?" asked Harry curiously
Smiling with twinkling eyes, Dumbledore Replied.
"Here is marked the sight of the defeat and banishment of the false god Ra."
"Who was Ra?" Inquired Harry.
"In Egyptian mythology, he was the Sun God and one of the main creator God's. And quite possibly, the most powerful and eldest Goa'uld." Dumbledore informed Harry.
Harry considered what was said by his mentor. This must mean that the figure he saw was definitely one of the goa'uld. Although it was said by the woman what Dumbledore just said had all but confirmed it for him. It seems Madness was no longer an acceptable excuse for what he has seen. The main issue now was simply debating if telling anyone about his visions is a good idea. On one hand, it could possibly unlock Dumbledore's support and knowledge but it could also foster a large amount of distrust. Deciding to shelve the issue for later Harry continued the conversation.
"Do you know anything else about them?" Asked Harry.
"I must confess to being confused my boy, how did you gain knowledge on the Goa'uld in the first place? Even in all my years of studying, I have only come across it a few times, it is a rather obscure piece of knowledge. Asked Dumbledore, eyes continuing to twinkle as if imitating a newborn star.
Deciding to go with his gut, after all, Dumbledore has never steered him wrong before, he informed Dumbledore about what he had seen so far as well as his opinions.
Halfway through Harry's explanation the ancient headmaster had stood up and started waving his wand at Harry with hundreds of different motions that a man at the age of Dumbledore had no right to complete so quickly.
"Well my boy, I have both good and bad news. The good news is that indeed you are not crazy and you do have a magical bond that is likely the cause of your visions, however, the bad news is that I cannot remove the bond from you nor can I determine its nature or source. It's most spectacular really, it is clearly magical and yet reacts like it's mundane. Most curious indeed my Boy."
Both happy and concerned Harry wondered what could possibly be the cause of the bond he had.
"Well my boy, there is very little I can do right now. I will endeavour to research on the subject as much as possible so you can be assured indeed I will find a solution to this. I believe it would be wise holding off telling your friends for the moment, we would not want to cause any problems." Dumbledore comforted Harry.
"Thank you, professor, I will hold off on telling them until I know more." Replied Harry.
"Well, my boy that's all I can ask of you. Now pop to bed and get a goodnight's sleep and come talk to me in the morning if you get a vision."
Nodding to Dumbledore, Harry got up and went back to his room.

Seconds after falling asleep again Harry was pulled into a vision once again.
Harry stood in the same small house as before, however, this time he was not simply watching through the eyes of another. It took him a few seconds to realise he could control his own movements this time. He saw the family once again sitting around the table he saw previously. However this time there was no conversation, but an air of anger and depression coated in blissful silence.
It became evident after a few minutes of walking around that he could not actually be seen or heard by the family as he walked around. Trying to touch objects did nothing as his hand simply passed through it, although somehow he did not fall through the floor. Harry put that one down as magic.
While he was pondering what this vision meant, he heard a weird sort of charging noise before suddenly a flash of orange light struck the mother of the family, and then another few shots hit random objects around the house and the house itself before also trying to strike the fleeing boy in the back. Stupefied by the horror he just witnessed, he turned around to witness one of the warriors in the silver armour walk in the house with the weird staff pointing at the cowering girl. Knowing that one blast would kill the poor stunned girl momentarily forgot about his intangible status and tried to push her out of the way.
As Harry made physical contact with her the world became still, the orange light being stuck in midair, the crumbling ruble and waves of dust simply freezing midair. The only movement was that quivering of the young girl before she fell over, unharmed but unconscious.
After putting her into a comfortable position after determining she was perfectly fine but needed rest, Harry spent an hour exploring the village. He found the place to be primitive by their standards but also to have a more fantasy feel then he would normally believe. Strangely enough, there was a massive yellow pyramid in the distance which made sense by what Dumbledore had told him.
Returning the girl a few hours later, Harry pondered what to do about the girl. He knew whatever magic stopped time would not last forever and she would simply be killed or worse, captured when time resumed. He considered the best option would be moving her to safety so, nodding to himself, he reached down to pick her up and as he put her into his arms he bolted up in his bed awake and alert at Hogwarts.
Sighing to himself that the vision had ended at such a time and the terrible events of the vision, Harry became both sad and angry.
After crying for a few minutes and slowly getting himself into the right place of mind, he looked around at the rest of his roommates to see if anyone had heard anything or had awoken. As fortune would have it no one was awake. Counting his lucky stars, Harry got up and made his way to the bathroom to freshen up.
As he reached the bathroom he heard an eerily familiar young girl's voice from behind him.
"Is this the afterlife?!"
Mini Omake:
"Will the Ministry be able to remove the bond and succeed where you failed Professor?" Asked Harry curiously.
"HAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Dumbledore fell off his chair and blasted the sealing with some uncontrolled wandless magic as he fell began laughing uncontrollably.
