"Stupid old man." Arabic or other foreign language being spoken in Hogwarts.
S "Say hello my friend" S Parseltongue being spoken anytime.
AN: Ok this chapter is a little background of Harry as a child and his past three years at Rookwood Academy. As well as the tomb incident that Chione mentioned. At lest it will at the beginning.
*7 years ago*
A young boy with raven hair and sun-kissed skin was sitting with his parents and older sister Halima. Both children were wearing close that accommodated the desert heat nicely. Unlike Harry though Halima had strawberry blonde hair and bright blue eyes compared to her brother's green eyes. Their parents had wanted to tell them something very important.
"Now then children there is something that we must tell you." Their father a very dark skinned man that showed how much time he spent in the sun said in his deep voice. "Even though you two are as close as any blood sibling this is not the case. Harry your parents were very good friends of ours and asked that if anything happened to them that we take care of you as our own." The man Abasi said.
Halima gasped at hearing her little brother wasn't actually related to her by blood but the two were very close and she didn't think this would change it. "Since you are raising me does that mean something happened to my parents?" Harry asked Abasi and his wife Dalila both nodded. "C-could you tell me what happened to them?" He asked hesitantly.
Dalila was the one to talk this time though she took a deep breath for a second. "Yes we think you are both old enough now to understand the truth. First we should tell you your parents' names. Your parents' names were James and Lily." She said pausing for a second. "Like your parents you were born in England. During the time you were born a war was being fought against Light wizards and witches like your parents and a Dark wizard and his followers. This Dark wizards name is Voldemort. Before you were born there was a prophecy about a baby that would be born as the seventh month died and that this child would have the power to destroy the dark lord." She said watching the shocked looks on both children's faces. Halima wrapped her arms around her little brother in a comforting gesture, which Harry returned.
"This prophecy was about me wasn't it?" He asked starting to feel like it was his fault.
Abasi took up the story from here. "That is what the leader of the Light in England thought. Dumbledore suggested your parents go into hiding and use a powerful charm that would hide the location of where they were with in a living soul. However the person they chose as secret keeper betrayed them then framed your godfather. Even though Dumbledore knew this he let the man go to jail with no trial. Before that Dumbledore tried to take you but your mother had set it up so we would be alerted if anything happened and Dalila and I arrived quickly to retrieve from the wreckage of your old home. Voldemort was defeated that night but I doubt he is truly dead." Abasi finished.
Harry took all of this in and nodded slowly tears shining in his eyes. He wiped his eyes and composed himself before asking the next question. "Do you think my parents would be offended if I went to the magic academy here instead of England's school?" He asked seeing shocked looks on his adoptive parents faces before they answered.
"No Harry dear I don't think they would be offended in the least." Dalila said happily. She knew that Harry didn't want to go to a different school then Halima and his friend Chione.
*3 years ago*
Harry and his family were in the Egyptian Wizarding world's market. Harry had just turned 11 and would be starting Rookwood in a couple of months. Halima was in her second year. As they were walking Halima saw one of her friends and ran over and started talking animatedly with her.
"Harry!" A girl shouted before a brunette blur tackled him to the ground. Harry laughed looking at his friends amber eyes.
"I'm not sure if that's any way for a member of the royal family to act Chione." He said teasingly as the girl huffed and smacked him playfully.
"Pfft like I care. Besides it's not like anyone is going to say anything my grandpa is Pharaoh after all I can do as I please." She teased sticking her tongue out at him.
Harry laughed as they both stood up and he hugged the shorter caramel skin colored girl. Even though they were both only eleven Harry thought that she was beautiful. "So what are you missing from are school supplies? If you want we can get the last things together I just need a wand." He said.
Chione nodded to him. "That's all I have left to get to. Come on lets go." She started dragging him towards the wand maker's store.
"Awe I've been looking forward to a visit from you two. Well come on follow me to the back and I'll have you choose the materials for your wand." The dark skinned wand maker said leading them into the back room to choose the materials for their wands.
*Two months later*
Harry and Chione stepped out of the carriage and gasped as they got their first glimpse at the academy. To most people it would like any pyramid that held the tombs of Pharaohs but there was so much more to it then that. This pyramid was ten times as grand as most pyramids and you could practically feel the magic radiating off of it.
S "It's beautiful I've never seen something so magnificent." S Harry hissed in Parseltongue well looking at the school. Chione nodded to him.
S "I agree Hatchling it is very magnificent indeed. Fit for teaching the next generation of Egyptian Sorcerers and Priests." S Bast hissed as she rose up from the sleeve of Harry's robes, which were worn under the light armor.
S "Guys we're holding everyone up we should head in. Not to mention there are people staring at us enviously for using our gift." S Chione hissed out pointing behind her where other first years were given them looks of envy as well as impatience for not heading for the entrance to the school.
Harry nodded sheepishly and led the way into the school. All of the new students marveled at the grandness of the entrance of the school. They looked around and noticed several Hieroglyphs. A lot of the first years were having trouble reading them though that would be remedied while they were there. Harry and Chione though could read the ancient writing easily having been taught as part of Chione's teaching and with Harry being her intended husband he was taught as well. Most of the Hieroglyphs were part of the wards for the school although some gave a little bit of history of the school. One of the Sorcerers whom acted as a teacher came out to the entrance and silently led the children to the Dining chamber.
This chamber was just if not more grand then the entrance. Again Hieroglyphs decorated the walls of the chamber. However here there were also statues of many great Sorcerers and Priests who had learned at the school and at one point acted as teachers. There were also depictions of the Goddess of Magic Isis present. The students walked in awe towards the table reserved for the first years.
All of the students listened with rapt attention as the High Priest and Priestess made start of the year announcements and then the feast was served. Harry and the others were in awe yet again as the older students led through the many magnificent chambers to the living area. Almost every hall in the school as well as the living quarter had some form of the creation myth depicted. In the room Harry would be spending this year and the next six in there was a depiction of Isis gifting magic to man kind and teaching them the responsibility of how to use it as well as another of her teaching them humility by making magic users fewer in number to those who couldn't use it. Unlike other parts of the Wizarding world Egypt had almost no prejudice against common folk and lived with them harmoniously.
*Two Years ago*
Harry and Chione were standing outside one of the many tombs in the Valley of Kings. Harry's parents had brought them here for the summer holiday. Harry got a devilish smirk that Chione instantly decided was bad news.
S "Harry James we are not going into this tomb under any circumstances. We have no idea what kind of curses are in place." S she hissed at him angrily.
Harry smirked at her not fazed in the least. S "What's the matter princess are you scared?" S he taunted knowing that she didn't usually back down from a challenge.
S "I swear if we die in there because of your stupidity I am going to make your after life eternal suffering do I make myself clear?" S she hissed while glaring at him.
They both heard hissing laughter from Bast as the Cobra slithered toward the entrance of the tomb. S "Well come along hatchlings if you want to enter well there are no eyes on you." S the snake hissed at the two.
As they entered the tomb the hair on the back of their necks stood up as they heard the entrance slam shut. They turned around and saw their only way out blocked. "HARRY I'M GOING TO KILL YOU IF WE MAKE IT OUT OF THIS." Chione shouted angrily while glaring at the boy.
Harry shushed as he looked at the Hieroglyphs and started reading them. He looked around after reading a few of them. "It's a test to keep thieves out. We'll be able to leave if we pass the magical tests." He said looking down one of the passages that seemed to be filled with magical light. "According to the writing we need to go this way." He said walking forward. He then slipped back to Parseltongue. S "Bast go and check out the passage let me know if you sense any curses." S he hissed watching as his familiar slithered forward. He and Chione waited for her reply.
S "It's all clear Hatchlings this passage is safe to follow." S the snake hissed at them.
It took them a couple of hours to navigate all of the passages. They found their way out and Abasi and Dalila scolded both of them for being reckless.
*Present*
Harry was brought out of his musings as thin arms wrapped around his shoulders and he felt something soft press against his back. The scent of jasmine wafted into his nostrils and he smiled looking back at the caramel skinned beauty that over the years he had grown to love. "Good morning princess sleep well?" He asked smiling as she kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Yes I did how about you love?" She asked in reply looking into his brilliant green eyes. He nodded back to her and pulled her into his lap as he turned around so he was facing her direction. "We should head up to the school soon so we can enter our names with everyone else." She said as he nodded and let her get up first.
Harry then turned his attention to Bast who was curled on his pillow. S "Do you want to accompany us Bast?" S he asked. The cobra looked up before shaking her head in the negative.
Harry and Chione then walked out to meet the other students before walking with the rest of their school up to the Castle. They saw quite a crowd watching everyone enter their names. Harry and Chione walked together with their hands in the other to the cup then both tossed the paper with their names in one after the other. Afterwards they walked into the great hall to have breakfast with the Hogwarts students and other foreign students.
As they sat down Harry's eye started to twitch as another red head started asking him questions about if he was 'The Harry Potter'. It was obvious he was related to the twins from the day before but this boy had no tact what so ever.
Chione seeing that Harry was getting agitated placed her hand on his and squeezed to calm him down. "You know it's polite in most cultures to introduce yourself first. Also you shouldn't ask personal questions of someone who is a stranger to you." She said in a calm voice.
The red head looked very angry but before he could say anything the bushy haired girl sitting next to him interrupted. "You'll have to excuse Ronald there are times that he's less graceful then a bull in a china shop." She said making the Egyptian students snicker a little bit. "My name is Hermione Granger and this Ron Weasley pleasure to meet you." She said offering her hand to them.
Chione took her hand first smiling as she shook it. "Chione Rahotep nice to meet you." She said politely.
"Harry Potter." He said shaking Hermione's hand after Chione but pointedly ignoring Ron deciding he didn't like the boy that much. He was glad that he would only have to deal with him for a year. He couldn't imagine having to see the boy every year. However the last name made him pause and think. "Wait Weasley? Are you related to Bill Weasley by any chance?" He asked looking at Ron.
"Yea he's my older brother but how do you know him?" Ron asked looking at him.
"I was raised in Egypt and have lived there for 13 years. I met him last year well I was taking an interview to see about becoming a tomb keeper. The tomb keepers I was meeting with were in charge of one of the tombs your brother was hired to break the curses on was under their care so he had to get their permission to enter it." Harry explained simply. "Although I don't remember him mentioning that one of his siblings was dumber then a troll." Harry said watching as the red head became furious. Ron stood up raising his wand preparing to curse Harry before he found 11 different wands pointing at him.
"Cursing one of our wizards would end very badly for you Weasley. Unless you want to find out what some of the curses we place on the tombs of our Pharaohs can do to you first hand I suggest you put that away." A seventh year female student in priestess robes said to him while one of the other students went to get the High Priestess.
"I think you've made your point Priestess Ebony. All of you put your wands away and please calmly make your way out to our accommodations." High Priestess Auset said calmly.
"As you wish High Priestess." Ebony said leading the other students from Rookwood out of the school and to their accommodations during their stay at Hogwarts.
Harry walked up to Ebony and bowed politely to her since she had already started her training as a priestess and was almost finished with it. "Thank you Priestess for your assistance back in the great hall." Harry said remembering his manners.
She smiled at him in a friendly manner. "Harry we've known each other for years before you even started at the academy you don't have to be so formal. Besides there is no reason not to stand up for your friends right?" She asked getting a nod from the raven before they all separated and went into their own quarters.
*That night*
That night everyone ate quickly and quietly at the Halloween feast all eager to see who the champions would be. All of the quiet conversations ended as Dumbledore stood up and started talking. "I think the Goblet is almost ready for its decision. Just one more minute till it makes its decision I think." He said.
After a couple more seconds the goblet spat out a piece of paper. "The champion for Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour." Dumbledore said the hall cheered as several of the Beauxbatons students cried at not being chosen. Fleur went off to the side chamber where the Champions were to wait.
Another piece of paper was spat out which Dumbledore caught in much the same way he had caught Fleur's. "The champion for Durmstrang is Viktor Krum." He shouted again there was a lot of cheering.
The next paper came out after Krum was in the side chamber. "Hogwarts champion is Cedric Diggory." He said. There was lots of cheering from the Hogwarts students.
After Cedric went into the chamber the fourth piece of paper was belched out. "The champion for Rookwood is Harry Potter." The cheering was at a whole new level at this as Harry made his way towards the chamber to wait for the instructions with the other champions.
The other three champions simply nodded to him politely as he entered and the four waited for Ludo Bagman and Mr. Crouch to come in along with the Heads of the schools who were acting as judges.
"Now that you are all here we will explain the first task. Now since it is to test your daring we won't be telling you what it is as bravery in the face of unknown danger is a good gift for any wizard to have. Also you can not ask for help from the teachers during any of the challenges. The task shall be held on the 24th of November." Bagman said before allowing them all to leave.
High Priestess Auset led Harry back to where they were staying. She congratulated before allowing him to join the other eleven students who were having a little bit of a celebration over who their champion was. Harry was a little nervous about what the task could be but he did a good job of not letting it show as he celebrated with the others from his school.
AN: So tell me what you think. Before anyone asks yes all of the tasks will remain the same although a fourth task may be added if my readers ask for it. Although it would have to be at a reasonable date if there is a fourth task and it should be before the maze. Also does anyone have any suggestions on how Harry and Chione get to know Daphne? I'm open to hear your ideas. As always please no flames as they will be ignored and reported.
