Ron Weasley (P.O.V)

To think we were in Egypt! Egypt! I couldn't believe it! I had always wanted to go. You know my oldest brother, Bill was a Curse Breaker in the Country. Working for Gringotts. I didn't think I would ever be able to make it one day. But then, Dad made that announcement that he had won the Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw. And we would all be using it to go to Egypt. And not just that, but I can also get a new wand, given the fact that my old wand got broken last year.

Such fun to be around. The Mummies. The Tombs, the Pyramids. I almost couldn't believe it. And I would have plenty of adventures to tell my best friends, Harry, Hermione, and Kassandra when I got back. Maybe we could also see Ryan Tyler too. He was my best friend, despite him being well... a Tyler. I tried to call Harry at the Dursleys with the phone number he gave me. Dad helped. But when I did, all I heard was the nasty voice of Vernon Dursley. Or as Kassie called him, the Walrus. We'd been there for almost a month now. And already Bill took us around so many of the Egyptian Tombs. Those Ancient Egyptians put some pretty nasty curses on the Tombs. Bill and the Curse Breakers have been working so hard to get at them. But there was one tomb in particular that I feel I should talk about.

We were inspecting one of the tombs out in what looked like the middle of nowhere. Bill had shown us around the Curse Breaking sight. 

"This tomb looks so cool." Ginny commented excited to walk around the area. 

"We've only just inspected some of the tomb though, Ginny." Bill informed. "But I'm curious to find out what we see inside."  

Mum looked at Bill. "It better not be another Djinn." She said. 

"Don't worry Mum. The Djinn are in the Middle East alone." Bill assured. 

What Mum and Bill were referring to was the Djinn incident. The Magi of the Middle East sent a distress call to Gringotts. Except it wasn't a Distress Call, and was actually a trick to kill all the Circle of Khanna. There was something about a Djinn too. Bill doesn't really like to talk about it.

"We could always lock Percy in one of the tombs." Fred suggested. 

"That we could, Fred." George agreed. 

"You will do no such thing!" Mum yelled at the Twins. They were always doing something like this. So it wasn't out of the ordinary to see Mum yelling at them. She could be scary sometimes though. 

Percy was glaring at Fred and George the whole time. "You see this badge? It clearly states Head Boy!" He wore it like a prize. 

Yeah... everyone saw this coming. Percy had been a Prefect at Hogwarts and had wanted so desperately to be a Head Boy. He got his wish. Fred and George were 5th years and they would not keep the tradition of every Weasley in their 5th year becoming a Prefect. That wasn't a big shock either. Too much trouble. Then again, Ethan got into trouble too, and he became a Co-Prefect. He tied with Charlie. But on the other hand. Ethan made the good type of trouble, Fred and George made the bad type of trouble.

"Mummy? Can we at least see a part of the tomb?" Ginny begged. "Please?"

Mum relented. Ginny had those puppy dog eyes that Mum just couldn't stay away from. "Oh, all right." She answered. "Bill?"

"Of course. I can show you what we've got so far." Bill said with a smile. 

We were about to go in, when I saw 3 more figures arrive near the tomb. And I could hear some noises. "You keep grunting, Emily." I recognized that voice as Ryan Tyler. He was with an older girl, and a younger girl. 

They were getting closer. "Is it that obvious?" The Older Girl asked. That must've been Emily Tyler. Ryan's older sister. I only knew her by reputation, and how nasty she was. "This is bloody ridiculous. You goof up with more of your Muggle heritage and I have to babysit you now?" Emily get saying in disbelief. "This is so unfair. I should be home and getting on with my life and away from you."
