A Past Love Returns

Disclaimer - None of it's mine! Or is it….checks papers of ownership to see they say something about how it IS NOT the property of Ven Valerius and it IS the property of JK and whoever really publishes all of this stuff. Okay, so maybe it isn't VV's.

Standard AN : This is where the actual slash comes in. I apologize if I have disappointed anyone for how the last one ended. But this isn't ten years later….more like 14 I liked the character of Alex O'Connell but didn't like the third Mummy Movie - Hands up…. who liked it? Anyway, Harry is officially Immortal. So when Imhotep was reincarnated, the Gods gave his reincarnation the immortality.

Mine - So many good thoughts! YAY! (Basking in the light for a moment). I'm ecstatic! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter as well. I have two more weeks of freedom before school starts up again so I thought I'd post now and try for more during labor day weekend. I've only got school one day that week and it's an hour worth of a train ride away and that's going to be used for my CCJ homework.

Chapter Two

One week later…

Harry sighed as he awoke, naked, next to his lover. He loved this time of the morning, especially since Alex taught Lily why it wasn't a good idea to jump on Uncle Harry and Uncle Isaac's bed when she couldn't see their pajamas. The scenario led to the two of them having to magic on boxers and Alex ended up with two curses that turned him into a eunuch for two weeks. Not a good thing, even for a thirteen year old.

He began kissing up Isaac's chest and then to his mouth.

"Good morning." he said when Isaac's eyes opened.

Isaac grinned, "Good morning to you too. Maybe we should pretend to be our past incarnations more often." he said remembering their love filled night where they had made love three times. The two had been going at it like rabbits ever since Isaac unlocked the secrets of his past life… not that they'd needed an excuse before.

Harry grinned and lightly pushed him on his chest, "Come on, we've got the pictures and Evy wants to check out that temple in Thebes she's been having those dreams about."

"You think she's beginning to remember her life as Nefertiri?" Isaac asked. In their post-coital bliss the night/few hours before, they had discussed what either of them could remember about their past lives - granted with Harry and Haru's memories having been merged already Harry remembered a lot more than his lover.

Harry shrugged as he summoned a pair of boxers to his hand and put them on as he stepped out of the bed that he'd had bought because despite it's extremely comfortable down feather mattress that was over a traditional ancient Egyptian bed, it was easy to shrink and carry in his travel bag that had the expanding charm on it. The bed was one of the few luxuries he allowed himself while he was out on a dig, even though he was just as comfortable sleeping on the warm dessert sand. (1)

"Come on."

"Don't wanna."

"You will if you want to sleep in my tent tonight."

Isaac shot up, "Blasphemy!"

Harry grinned, "Come on, unless you want Evy to catch you with your pants down - again."

Isaac shrugged, "She got a glimpse of what a real man looks like." he said as he flexed his biceps - they weren't hard to develop when he was usually the one doing the actual digging and heavy lifting but not everyone was a genius like Harry. Besides, he was kinda proud of his muscles.

"A real man who's buggering her cousin? Yeah, she really didn't need to know what I know." Harry said as he put on a pair of trousers and tucked them into his boots as Isaac came behind him and put a hand on his arse and squeezed while he got his own set of clean clothing from his bag.

They got dressed and then magically packed up the tent before they boarded a boat bound for Thebes. The home of Egypt. They knew that the other archeologists could finish up the dig, documenting everything and ensuring that it was properly written down and such.

Besides, Harry had a new journal to translate everything into it and pictures of the glyphs. He wasn't going to waste his time at Thebes. Neither was Isaac.

A little AU-ed canon. B/c I kinda like this scene and got Ven to put it in. (Rae, VV's cuz)

He got there just as Evy was about to enter the hidden passageway. The woman had really grown in the last dozen and more years. Now Harry could see how they were related. If you got Evy going she was really an adrenaline junkie – just in the sense that she got excited from archeological digs and not from jumping off cliffs like her cousin liked to do in his spare time. He'd found one particular cliff near the mouth of the Nile that was just so tempting… it hadn't mattered that they'd found evidence of someone named Memnon . . . He'd just jumped.

He and Isaac immediately recognized the hieroglyphs on the walls depicting just who was the guardian and what they were the guardians of, it was just outside of the temple and the hieroglyphs were weathered but still readable.

Nefertiri was the guardian of the Bracelet of Anubis.

Now, Evy was the one who was going to take it.

A little weird, perhaps.

He found Rick, Alex and Lily in the main room. Alex and Lily were experimenting with mouse traps and Rick was cleaning and loading his revolver. Alex even had a book with him and was quizzing his little sister/witch about her Enchantment homework.

"Where's Evy, Rick?" he asked as they walked in holding hands. Rick had been hesitant at first to discover that Harry liked both men and women but it wasn't until Harry mentioned that Rick wasn't his type that Rick finally accepted him. Then he'd asked him just what WAS his type.

Not something he wanted to talk with anyone about. Except Isaac.

"She's out there desecrating another tomb, why?"

"I'll go help her. Isaac, could you stay here and?"

Isaac nodded as he pulled out his sword as he sat down.

"Expecting trouble?" Rick asked a little weary.

"My boyfriend and your wife." He said simply as he looked at the door.

Rick nodded, "Good point."

Harry walked through the cobwebs and found Evy cleaning off the door that revealed how the guardian of the Bracelet had been chosen. "Evy."

She turned and saw him, "Harry, I thought you were still at Philae?"

"We were, but then we decided that we ought to find out just what you were doing here at Thebes."

"I've dreamt about this place."

Harry nodded, he could understand that. "Yeah."

"It's like I've been here before, in a past life or something."

Harry nodded and motioned for her to keep going, "I can understand that. Trust me Evy, but…"

"You're still skeptical?"

"Well, sort of."

"Well not every one of us can make a tower collapse on an ancient island and have it break through a foot of limestone to find a hidden room." She said indignantly.

"Yeah, but I have brought you pictures this time." He said and pulled them out of his messenger bag and passed them to her. "And I thought that your husband didn't want you doing anything that could harm your child?"

"He doesn't but he doesn't have a choice in this."

Harry shook his head, "You do know why people leave this place alone right?"

"They are scared of an old curse."

"Exactly." he said as he put down his rucksack. "And where have we heard that before?"

"Oh come on! Help me out, please?" she asked pathetically. "It's not as though I can just wave my hand and the wall will come down like you can!"

"Hey! You know what happened!" he said as he turned to the wall where the hieroglyphs were. "So, what is it you want me to do?"

"Open it, with as little damage as possible." she said, remembering the dig in Qift where Rick had used a crowbar to open a chest and ended up breaking the lid off. She and the other archeologists were a little disappointed to find that Rick had cracked the lid.

She hadn't gone on another dig for a year after that.

To annoy his cousin, Harry waved his hand dramatically and they watched as the "door" fell back into the passageway.

Harry walked in first and waved his hand and sent the scorpions and tarantulas to a pit near Hamunaptra - he figured the remains of Imhotep could use a little "extra" protection. Not knowing that doing so he ended up making sure a few dozen people were stung and bitten.

Then Rick and Isaac showed up.

"I thought you were going to stay up in the temple?" Harry asked as he turned towards them.

"We were." Rick said, not wanting to admit that Lily and Alex had practically banished the two older ones in their quest when they found the symbol of the Medjai in the far corner, hidden behind some columns. There had even been an alcove that Lily had discovered to be completely covered with hieroglyphs and the two younger O'Connells were translating them as Rick and Isaac left the room to find their partners.

"He was." Isaac said as he looked into the room the two had found. "What cha doing?"

AN:

1 - The Egyptian bed was a rectangular wooden frame with a mat of woven cords. Instead of using pillows, the Egyptians used a crescent-shaped headrest at one end of the bed. Beds were made of a woven mat placed on wooden framework standing on animal-shaped legs. At one end was a footboard and at the other was a headrest made a curved neckpiece set on top of a short pillar on an oblong base
