Trouble In Egypt

Chapter 2

"Hello Harry, I'm Bill Weasley." Bill said, after he greeted his family.
"Hello." Harry replied, Bill smiled at him then introduced himself to Sirius and Remus.
"Alright, follow me." Bill said, he led them to a tent, they all stepped inside, the tent was like the tent from the qudditch world cup.
"Each bedroom has its own bathroom, mum I guess you already made sleeping arrangements?" Bill asked, amused.
"Ron, Harry, Fred, George, your room is at the end of the hall on the right. Remus, Sirius, your room is at the beginning of the hall on the right. Ginny end of the hall on the left, Arthur follow me." Molly ordered, everyone hurried off and put their stuff away then went back to the tents 'living room' where Bill was.
"Here's the plan I'm going to show you around camp, then get you all clothes that fit this weather." Bill said, then he left the tent, everyone followed after him. While Bill talked about the camp which could be considered a small town, Harry looked everywhere, beyond the camp was nothing but desert except for a few temples and small pyramids, after they had gotten more appropriate clothes Bill took them out to lunch.
"I know in your letters, you've said you were fine but since we're face to face, I would like to hear it from you." Bill said, as they ate.
"Arthur and I are fine dear, your father is even getting a raise." Molly answered.
"That's great dad." Bill said, then he looked at Fred and George.
"And you two?" Bill asked.
"Great." Fred and George said.
"We're working on a new prank." George said.
"It was Harry's idea." Fred finished.
"Is that so, well what about you Ginny?" Bill asked.
"I'm ok." Ginny said, Bill frowned.
"Just ok?" Bill asked.
"She's a bit jealous." Ron answered.
"Why?" Bill asked, surprised.
"Well Ron, Gred and I have taken up all of Harry's time." George answered.
"Why have you three taken up all of Harry's time?" Bill asked.
"Harry knows how to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and he's been helping Fred, George and I learn how to read them so we could impress you." Ron answered.
"Don't forget Ron, we want to spend time with Harry." Fred said.
"And you and Harry want to get into ancient runes once school starts." George added.
"You two will have a lot to catch up on." Bill said, looking at Ron and Harry.
"Well hopefully with your help and in my case Harry's help, we'll be able to get into ancient runes." Ron replied.
"So I'm guessing you've been well?" Bill asked, Ron nodded his head, Bill then looked at Harry.
"I've read so many letters about you from all of them, I've felt like I've known you my whole life, but anyway how are you?" Bill asked.
"I'm fine but I could be better." Harry answered.
"I heard about the tournament from Charlie, saying saying something about having to face a dragon, how was that?" Bill asked.
"Horrifying." Harry answered.
"Harry, you nearly gave us heart attacks." Fred and George said.
"It was terrifying to see you almost set on fire by an angry mother Hungarian Horntail." Ron said, while Ginny nodded her head.
"Well if I had to choose which to face again the dragon or the Yule ball, I'd choose the dragon." Harry replied, Fred and George laughed while Ron groaned.
"That ball was a disaster." Ron commented.
"At least you had the choice to dance or not, I had to dance and I don't know how to dance." Harry replied.
"You got me there." Ron said.
"What I'm curious about Harry, is how you had the time to learn how to read hieroglyphs." Bill said.
"I didn't have much but when I did I was in the library reading the books that was about hieroglyphs and how to read them." Harry replied.
"You must be a fast learner then, but why aren't you helping Ginny learn how to read them as well, while you're helping Fred, George and Ron?" Bill asked.
"We thought you would like to spend more time with Ginny." Harry answered, Bill hummed then looked  over at Sirius and Remus.
"And you two?" Bill asked.
"As good as an escaped from Azkaban innocent convict can be." Sirius answered.
"As good as a tired werewolf can be." Remus answered.
"Are you ok Remy, Siri?" Harry asked, worriedly.
"We're ok pup." Sirius answered.
"Ok." Harry said.
"So I'm guessing good but could be better?" Bill asked, Sirius and Remus nodded their heads, after everyone finished eating they left the restaurant.
"Now, would you like to see a temple?" Bill asked, Sirius, Harry, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny nodded their heads.
"Is it safe Bill?" Remus asked.
"Competely, finished breaking all the curses last week." Bill answered.
"Alright, Molly, Arthur are you ok with it?" Remus asked, Molly nodded her head.
"As long as it's safe." Arthur said.
"Great." Bill replied, then he led them to the temple.
"Awesome." Fred and George said, when the group walked into the temple.
"Can you really read these pup?" Sirius asked, looking at the hieroglyphs that was on the walls.
"Then I got a test for you Harry, can you read this?" Bill asked, showing Harry and the rest of their group to a door that led further into the temple, then Bill pointed to the middle of it.
"If you seek the end, find which is hidden." Harry said.
"Good job, don't worry mum it's just a warning." Bill said.
"Are you sure Bill?" Molly asked, worriedly, Bill nodded his head.
"Did you find anything here?" Ginny asked.
"We found something, it's back at camp." Bill answered.
"Show us." Fred and George said.
"It will have to wait until after Bill has shown us the rest of the temple." Arthur said, Fred and George sighed but they nodded their heads, after the tour Bill led them to where he and his team kept the treasures they find before the goblins get the treasures.
"This is the only thing we found in there." Bill said, holding up a small circular box.
"That doesn't look like much." Ron commented, Harry shook his head.
"Hang on Ron, I think there's something else to it, Bill can I look at it?" Harry asked.
"Sure, there's no danger to it." Bill said, handing the box to Harry. Harry looked the box over and on accident his finger hit a small trigger making the box open. Inside it, was a piece of parchment, Harry took the parchment out of the box.
"What is that thing?" Arthur asked.
"I don't know." Harry said, he handed the box back to Bill but he kept the parchment and opened it.
"What do you have Harry?" George asked.
"It looks like a map." Fred said.
"It is a map." Harry replied.
"To where?" Ginny asked.
"I'm trying to figure that out." Harry said, as he looked over the map, after a couple of minutes he gasped.
"What's the matter Harry?" Sirius asked.
"I figured out where the map leads to." Harry replied.
"Where does it lead to?" Molly asked.
"Hamunaptra." Harry answered.
"Ha-moon....what?" Ron asked.
"Hamunaptra, the city of the dead." Remus answered.
"Harry, Hamunaptra is a myth if it was real the goblins would have found it by now." Bill said, in disbelief.
"Is there anything magic that could have hidden the city from everyone including the goblins?" Harry asked, frowning.
"The fidelius charm, but they would have thought of that." Bill answered. (Authors note: If goblins can see through the fidelius charm let's pretend they can't for the sake of this story and if they can let me know I will use it for future reference)
"Indeed, we already thought of the charm, and we did search for the clue that would lead us to the city but we never found the clue, since we never found it we thought it was destroyed."
Everyone turned their heads to the side and saw a goblin walking over to them.
"Everyone this is my boss." Bill said, the goblin nodded his head at the group and everyone nodded their heads back.
"Now since it was you ten that found the map to Hamunaptra, you'll be finding the city. If you find the city you will be rewarded handsomely by Gringotts, I'll give you a day to think about it." The goblin said, before walking away.
"Let's go back to the tent, we can discuss it in length there." Arthur said, once they got back to the tent, everyone sat around the living room.
"I don't think we should go, it could be extremely dangerous." Molly said.
"Mum is right, we can't get ourselves into danger." Ginny said.
"I think it would be cool to see Hamunaptra, supposedly nobody's stepped foot in it for over maybe 3,000 years." Harry replied.
"It would be another adventure." Ron said.
"And this time we would get to join you." Fred and George said.
"Harry, you already had an adventure." Sirius said.
"And it nearly killed you." Remus added, Harry, Fred, George and Ron frowned in disappointment.
"Bill, how dangerous could Hamunaptra be?" Arthur asked.
"If Hamunaptra has any curses on it, it shouldn't be anything I can't handle, so it shouldn't be too dangerous." Bill answered.
"Even so, is there anything in there that the goblins can't find anywhere else?" Molly asked.
"There are two things there they wouldn't find anywhere else. The book of the dead and the book of amun-ra otherwise known as the book of life, it's supposedly made of pure gold." Harry answered.
"How do you know all this pup?" Sirius asked, impressed and he wasn't the only one impressed.
"Um, I didn't stop at just learning how to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs." Harry answered.
"Hermione will be so proud." Ron said, grinning from ear to ear.
"Speaking of, while I cook dinner and they finish this discussion on what to do about Hamunaptra. You five write to your friends, and I'll call for you when dinner is done." Molly said, shooing the five teenagers out of the living room, Ron, Harry, Fred and George walked to their room and closed the door.
"Should we do what she said?" Ron asked.
"We better, Hermione will kill us if we don't tell her what's going on." Harry said.
"And we need to write to Lee." George said.
"Otherwise we won't hear the end of it." Fred added, the boy's got to work on their letters, when they finished they played exploding snap.
"Harry, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, dinner is ready!" Molly yelled, the four boys hurried to the kitchen and situated themselves around the table so Ginny couldn't sit next to Harry, after dinner everyone sat in the living room.
"We have come to a decision regarding Hamunaptra." Remus said.
"And?" Ginny asked.
"We will be going to Hamunaptra, but we'll be spending a month and a half here because we'll only be -if we find Hamunaptra- in Hamunaptra a week maybe even less than a week." Molly answered.
"Harry, we get to go on an adventure that won't kill us." Ron said, excited.
"Yeah, it's a relief." Harry replied, just as excited.
"It's a relief to us too." Fred said.
"We worry about you all the time." George added, Harry smiled and blushed, the three didn't notice the rest of the groups reaction to the their affectionate interaction. Ginny looked ready to kill her brothers, Ron hoped his best friend and brothers got together because it would be awesome if Harry eventually became his brother-in-law, though he already considered Harry family. Bill was slightly jealous of his brothers but was happy they found someone, Molly and Arthur decided to talk to Fred and George, then later Ginny. Sirius and Remus decided to talk to Harry about his feelings and maybe give him The Talk even though they were a little too late for that.
"I'm going to take those reactions as positive ones?" Sirius asked, Harry, Ron, Fred and George nodded their heads and Ginny shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey Harry, you want to take a walk with us?" Remus asked, pointing between him and Sirius.
"Sure." Harry answered.
"Let's go." Sirius said, the three stood up and left the tent, once they were far enough away from the tent and a little outside of the camp, Remus transfigured a small stone into a bench.
"Harry, we need to talk to you." Remus said.
"About?" Harry asked, nervously.
"Fred and George." Sirius answered.
"What about them?" Harry asked.
"You're in love with them, aren't you?" Remus asked, Harry looked between them and was about to say no, but realized that they wouldn't believe him.
"I love them." Harry admitted.
"You need to tell them." Sirius said.
"You're not upset that I'm in love with two guys?" Harry asked, Sirius and Remus shook their heads no, with a tiny smile on their faces.
"Now are you going to tell them?" Sirius asked.
"I want to, but?" Harry said, Remus and Sirius smiled at Harry's nervous and scared expression.
"Harry, do you want to know what Lily made us promise her if you ever had trouble admitting your feelings to someone or in this case someone's?" Remus asked, Harry slowly nodded his head.
"We dare you to tell Fred and George your feelings for them before the end of the summer holidays, otherwise we'll lock the  three of you in a closet until you tell them your feelings." Sirius said, with a mischievous smile.
"But-"
"No Harry, you've got to tell them." Remus interrupted him, Harry sighed and nodded his head in defeat.
"Now, we get to do James's job." Sirius said.
"What job?" Harry asked, nervously.
"The Talk." Remus and Sirius said, Harry started to run but Remus caught him before he could really get anywhere.
"Harry, it might seem like the end of the world but it's not." Remus said, as he made Harry sit back down.
"Let's begin." Sirius said, then they began to give Harry The Talk. Even though Harry was extremely embarrassed by the fact Remus and Sirius were explaining everything about puberty including what to expect during sex with a female or another male. Harry knew The Talk Remus and Sirius were giving him was tons better than Vernon's version of it which was you're going to grow hair in other places and don't you dare get a girl pregnant otherwise I'm kicking you out. At the same time back at the tent Arthur was talking to Fred and George in his and Molly's room, while Bill and Molly kept Fred and Ginny busy.
"Fred, George are you in love with Harry?" Arthur asked, Fred and George almost decided to lie, but it wouldn't work against their father, he always knew when they weren't telling the truth.
"We're in love with Harry." George answered.
"Are you upset with us for falling in love with a guy?" Fred asked.
"I'm not upset, now do you plan on telling Harry?" Arthur asked.
"We want to, but." George said, both George and Fred looked nervous and scared.
"Are you going to continue dating him after you two graduate from Hogwarts?" Arthur asked.
"Yes, we plan on dating him after we graduate from Hogwarts." Fred answered.
"I want you two, to tell Harry your feelings before the summer holidays are over, if you don't someone might get him before you get to tell him your feelings." Arthur said, Fred and George nodded their heads and left the room, since they weren't paying attention to where they were walking they nearly ran into Harry, who was walking to his, Fred, George and Ron's room.
"Sorry Harry." Fred and George said.
"It's alright, I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking either." Harry replied.
"Do you want to help us come up with a new prank?" George asked.
"Sure." Harry said, the three walked to their room and once there they worked on prank ideas, until Ron came into the room with a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. The four boys divided up the beans among them and ate all the ones in their stack, by the end of it they all agreed they would never eat Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans again. Not long after that they all went to bed, Harry's was closest to the door, Ron's was closest to the window, George's was next to Harry's and Fred's was next to Ron's.
