Chapter 20-Escape of the Geb Pyramid

{UNDER EDITING}

"WHAT!?"yelled everyone, except for Harry, all at once.

"Ron! You don't have another sister!" yelled Hermione.

"Oh yes I do!" said Ron, eyeing the woman up and down. "Only she's been in this pyramid for the past eighteen years!"

"What are you talking about?" demanded the woman. "I don't have any other brothers except for Bill, Charlie and Percy, and they're all grown up now, not short like you."

"No Jamie," said Ron, startling her by addressing her with her real name. "After you went missing, mom and dad had four more kids, Fred, George, me and Ginny."

"How do you know my name?" asked Jamie, gasping and walking backwards slowly, away from Ron.

"Because you're my long-lost sister!" exclaimed Ron.

"I don't think so," said Jamie, shaking her head and putting her hands up. "There's no way that's possible."

"Oh yeah, ask me a question about our family," grinned Ron. "Anything at all, something only a true Weasley would know."

"Fine then," said Jamie, looking better. "What are mom and dad's names?"

"Molly and Arthur," said Ron lazily. "Next!"

"Okay," said Jamie, a single drop of sweat going down her face. She thought for a second, trying to think of a good question. "Where did they get married?"

"The North Pole," said Ron again. "Now do you believe me?"

"Not yet," said Jamie, her confidence fading. "This last question is something that only a true Weasley would know. What is the true Weasley Spell?"

"Agricola Bonas Est," said Ron confidently, folding his arms. To this, Jamie suddenly burst into tears, ran towards the cage that held Ron, opened it up, and embraced him... like a brother.

"You are a Weasley!" she sobbed, hugging him tighter.

"What was that last question all about?" asked Malfoy.

"Don't ask," said Ron, his sister finally letting go. "It's an old Weasley thing."

"You didn't even have to go through all those questions," added Hermione. "You could have just figured it out by looking at the hair."

"Um..." added Ak. "Do you think you could open the rest of the cages?"

"What...?" asked Jamie, her eyes red from the tears. "Oh!Oh yes, of course."

"One last question though," said Malfoy as Jamie looked through her keys for the one to his cage. "Whatever happened to the other Guardian of Immortality after you took over for him?"

"He still hangs around this pyramid," she said, unlocking his cage. "I see him every now and then on my rounds. Being a Guardian is apparently the only life he's known, so he can't return to the real world."

"You mean, he's still in this pyramid?" gasped Hermione as Jamie moved along to her cage.

"Yep."

"But, what if he tries to get us?"

"Oh, don't worry about that," said Jamie, unlocking her cage. "He's a weird guy. Whenever he moves, he makes this really funny clicking noise, so I can tell when he's coming, and get out of the-"

Suddenly, the room filled with the most unusual noise. It was like the sound of a retractable pen being clicked up and down furiously, only a little softer. Like the clatter of a mouse gnawing on a cracker.
