I neither own nor profit from this.
AN: to all who haven't figured it out. Lily Potter nee Ptolemy and Rhia Carnahan nee Ptolemy are sisters. Their father was something of a sleep and leave 'im! before he married their mother and had Petunia - who he supported but Petunia hated anything Egyptian from that point on especially her younger half sisters. Rhia was 7 years older than her sister.
OH! SIRIUS IS NOT DEAD! My fave book is PoA for a reason and my most hated one is OotP for a reason too!
Ardeth Bey saw the boy on the bed. He was dressed similarly to the Medjai and he was tossing and turning. Yelling out in five different languages with various comments. He shook him awake and immediately the boy rose and another Medjai had a knife to his throat.
"Make a sound and you will not like the consequences." the older Medjai warned the boy as he put pressure on the knife and it cut into his throat and droplets of blood fell down his throat.
"Where is the map?" Ardeth ordered and much to his chagrin the boy looked in exasperation at him before he looked down at the knife rather pointedly. It was obvious he was concerned that by talking he was afraid his throat would be cut in the process.
The older one noticed this as well and loosened his hold on his throat. He still held it trained to Harry's neck but it allowed Harry to breathe without any more blood going down his throat and soaking into his shirt.
"It's there." he said as he looked towards where the map lay on the table.
"Where is the key?"
Harry looked at him more than slightly confused. "What? What key?"
Ardeth sighed, "What did the map come in?"
Harry just became even more confused, or so it seemed - he loved Occlumency. "M-my c-cousin. Stole …stole it from …" he began before the other Medjai tensed the knife around his throat, sinking it deeper into his throat.
He was then hit enough to daze him while Ardeth grabbed the map and the two left in a run.
Rick saw the men rush out of Harry's room and found Harry pressing cloth to his neck while he wrapped his scarf around his neck to hold the cloth in place.
"We're getting off this boat." Harry said as he grabbed his bag, thankful that it had an impervious charm on it.
"Why?"
"They took the map. They know we're after Hamunaptra." Harry said before they heard Evy scream. "Evy!"
They ran over to her room to see her being man handled by another of the darkly clothed men. Rick got out his guns and Harry threw his skean into the hook-man's forearm. He screamed and let her go before he reached for the box.
"Accio!" he thought as he summoned the box to him just as the ship lurched . He grabbed it and ran out of the room and once he noticed that the boat was a fire he grabbed a bag that he knew Evy had a spare set of clothing in, shrunk it and put it into his bag before running out. "Accio Skean!" he whispered and heard the man scream as the skean tore itself from his arm and go back to its sheath.
He saw Jonathan and tackled him over the edge of the railing, into the river. Just as Rick threw Evy overboard and then jumped over himself.
Harry coughed as he made sure that they were on the right side of the river.
"Hey O'Connell! Looks like we have all of the horses!" a man yelled from the other side of the river. He internally shuddered - the man looked like a skinny version of Pettigrew.
Harry looked at O'Connell who yelled back, "Hey Beni! Looks like you're on the wrong side of the river!"
Harry coughed again and felt as blood began to seep through the bandage. He sighed as he dug into his bag and found a minor healer that would make the would less severe and more shallow.
"You're hurt!" Evy said as she noticed the wound.
Harry nodded, "It's nothing-" he tried as she took the bandage from his throat and saw the shallow wound.
Rick looked at it, "You'll have a scar."
Harry nodded, "I figured. What bloody key were they talking about?!" he wondered as he went down to the river's edge and unshrunk Evy's overnight bag. "Evy! I think I found your bag!" he called as he pulled it out of the water.
She ran over to him, "It is!" she exclaimed.
"Great, now the only one who's missing anything is me!" Jon whined.
"Jon, you're a bloke. You don't need another set of clothes. Evy does." Harry reprimanded as he winked and told Jon that he had used magic to make sure that his sister had her clothes. "Now, O'Connell!"
"Yeah?"
"You'd better know your way to Hamunaptra! I lost a thousand pounds on that bloody ship!" he yelled as he remembered the money wallet he'd lost in the scuffle. It wasn't his only one, but it did have the most money in it.
Rick nodded, "Let's get us some transport."
***
They went to a local village after Evy discovered that only one set of clothing had been saved. She opted to get a new outfit while they were in the trading village and Harry made sure to act as her guardian as several men were leering at her - Rick included.
R&R people!
LIttle extra - Can anyone recommend any good Harry goes back in time stories?
