Disclaimer : I make no money nor do I own this. As much as I'd like to … maybe within my own insanity? [closes eyes and sees lawyers waving papers and frightening looking subpoenas] … not even there.

AN: Thanks to everyone who reviewed, some scared me (esp. the threats) and some made me smirk - so thanks.

Harry, Sirius, Remus, Ardeth and the two Americans walked into the sacred halls of Hamunaptra one more time. They all could sense the evil held within the building - Remus could literally smell it.

"How is it that you know yourself around here?" Daniels asked as they walked down a corridor that had been covered in scarabs only a few days earlier when Evy resurrected Imhotep.

"I can remember this place from my past life." Harry said as they turned a corner.

"And you remember that, how?"

"Imhotep used some sort of magic on me, alright?" he snapped quietly as he lead them to the treasure room.

Daniels and Henderson looked at him in awe. "We believe you."

"Good." Harry said as he gave them a few bags. "These bags can hold anything you put in them. Sirius and Remus will warn you if anything is cursed and then put it into their own bags."

"And what about him and you?" Daniels asked as he motioned to Ardeth.

"We're going to go get ourselves a book." Harry said. "Don't touch anything that isn't gold. Seti put a lot of booby traps in this place."

The Americans nodded their understanding and Remus and Sirius made some subtle waves with their wands to allow for them to see past booby traps and curses.

Harry waved goodbye to his godfathers and then led Ardeth to the statue of Anubis. He fell to his knees and started heaving when he sensed the residue magic in the air - and the migraine that came in with something that Anubis apparently wanted him to know.

FLASH

Memories of his training, so one day he would become pharaoh.

FLASHBACK

Haru sighed as he approached Imhotep. The priest had offered to stay behind and talk to him after the training was complete, instead he would probably end up carrying him back to his rooms. He was exhausted.

"Are you alright, Prince?"

Haru nodded as he walked back towards his rooms but stumbled when his legs refused his support his weight.

Imhotep immediately reached out to assist the Prince. "Prince Haru?"

"Please, just take me back to my rooms." Haru said and Imhotep carefully helped him, not wishing to incur the wrath of Pharaoh.

Imhotep gently brought him to his doors, the guards immediately opening the doors and shutting them when they were inside.

Once inside, Haru let go of Imhotep and walked the few steps to his bed when he tripped over the fur rug and frantically reached out and grabbed onto the nearest thing - Imhotep.

Knowing that they were falling anyway, Imhotep allowed himself to fall onto the ground first with Haru landing on top of him.

Haru's chest slammed into Imhotep's and as they hit the floor their mouths and lips collided with each other. His eyes widened as his mouth opened in a gasp and his tongue invaded Imhotep's mouth. The priest tasted like honey and wine.

Imhotep froze as the Prince moaned quietly into his mouth before he lifted himself off of Imhotep and onto his bed.

"Forgive me," Imhotep said as Haru looked at him sleepily with a look that almost screamed "come hither".

Haru looked at the high priest, "Forgive? It was I who was wrong."

"Niy, prince, it was mine." Imhotep insisted after going to the door before turning back to look at Haru, who was fast asleep on his bed and looked thoroughly exhausted. Perhaps it was a good thing that he was asleep. He was going to have to visit the harem in order to get some relief from the "problem" that was arising as he thought about how good Haru's moan had sounded.

FLASH

Harry forced the vision away, he knew that he had to stop Imhotep's rampage before he could even begin to focus on the vision. No matter what Imhotep had done in his past life (Harry's) it was what he was doing now that made him a force to be stopped.

"Are you alright?"

"Haru was Bi."

"What?"

"Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it either." he said as he stood up, hit his mouth with a mouth cleaner to get rid of the taste of bile and then stubbornly walked and led the way to the statue of Horus.

They got out the Book of Amun Ra from the chest.

"And here it is." he said in awe as he looked at the book. "I haven't seen this one since I was eight in my past life."

"You actually saw the Book of Amun Ra?"

Harry nodded, "My grandmother died and the book has funeral spells within it. My guess is that it was used until Ramses died. After that, it was probably placed in here."

They walked back to the treasure room where Sirius, Remus and the two Americans were waiting.

"Find everything?" he asked lightly as he held the Book of Amun Ra.

The Americans looked at the book with envious eyes.

"This book is not yours to take. It belongs to Egypt." he said firmly and saw the slight look of disappointment cross their faces for a moment before they remembered just how much treasure they were taking back with them. They knew they would never be allowed to return to Hamunaptra as the Medjai would protect it for the rest of time to the best of their ability. Plus, Harry was going to cast a Fidelus Charm over the treasure room so even if they were able to come back the only way that they would be able to find the treasure room would be if the Medjai allowed them access to the tablet that would become the secret keeper for the treasure room. And even then they would have to find their way through the maze of Hamunaptra itself.

Review... and please, no more threats. I've been seeing Ninja Chickens for WAY too long.
