***Imhotep will now be called Adom when other people are around***

September 1st…

The day started with Alex jumping on my bed.

"Time to wake up Rose you have the catch the train to your school today," Alex said

"Why don't you go wake Imhotep up," I said

Alex looked at me like he was thinking it over. Then he hopped off my bed and ran out of the room. I got out of bed and headed into my closet to grab what I was going to wear, then I headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower and finish getting ready. I was doing my hair when I heard a scream come from down the hall. I laughed, I grabbed and shrunk my trunk and headed downstairs to the breakfast table. I sat down at the table.

"Do I want to know what all the screaming was about?" Dad asked

"No, I don't think you do," I said

A few minutes passed before Alex joined us at the table he had a smile on his face. A few minutes after that Imhotep sat down at the table. Alex looked around.

"Where is Uncle Jon?" Alex asked

"He is probably still in bed. But it doesn't matter he isn't coming with us today." Mom said

"Why?" Alex asked

"I'll tell you later," Dad said

We finished eating then left the house. We got in the car and drove to the train station.

"Okay, go ahead and put the necklace on," I said

Imhotep put the necklace on, a flash of light later Adom now sat in the seat. We got out, we both had our trunks shrunk down so that we didn't look weird walking through the train station.

"Do you know how to get the platform?" Mom asked

Tom, how do I get to the platform?

Go to where platform ten meets platform nine. You should see people running towards the brick wall. Then just do the same. But make sure your Mom, Dad, and Alex have a hold of either you or Imhotep. -Tom said

Okay, thanks.

I repeated to them what Tom had said to me. We headed to said pillar, and I watched the group of redheads from that time at the bank run at the brick wall and disappear. Imhotep and I looked at each other Mom and Dad grabbed my hand, and Alex grabbed onto Imhotep. We walked through the barrier. When we came out on the other side a magnificent station with a red train and bundles of people. A whistle blows.

"Wow," I said

I looked around, then at Mom and Dad. Mom had tears in her eyes.

"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked

"Your leaving you won't be back till June." Mom said

"We can still talk though, you know how to send a message with Seti. You can buy and read more books. Just not too many books." I said

"I know but you haven't left my side for longer than a day since we found you." Mom said

"I know, but you won't even realize I'm gone. You have Alex and Jonathan and Dad. They will take up most of your time." I said

"You have a point." Mom said

"I've course I do," I said

Mom pulled me into a hug.

"Don't get into too much trouble," Dad said

Mom, Alex, and I turned to look at him, we all had an eyebrow raised.

"Okay, don't get kicked out," Dad said

"Much better," I said

I hugged Dad, then I hugged Alex, and ruffled his hair.

"See you later little bro. And try not to get into too much trouble while I'm gone." I said

"I'll try. See you later big sis." Alex said

I turned and headed to the train with Imhotep following behind me. We got onto the train and looked for an empty compartment. Once we found one, we unshrank our trunks and put them up on a rack.

"Who do you think is going to sit with us?" Adom asked

"No clue. A part of me doesn't want anyone to sit with us while the other is looking forward to starting the game." I said

"You know I can't help you if you don't tell me what you plan on doing," Adom said

"It's simple really. I going to set the wizarding world on fire and rule over the ashes." I said

He kind of just looked at me.

"You'll have to wait and see," I said

He rolled his eyes at me.

"Hey, how come you can roll your eyes at me but I can't roll mine at you?" I asked

"You'll just have to wait and see," Imhotep said

I didn't say anything to him, I wanted to roll my eyes but I stopped myself. The compartment was quiet for a moment. We had yet to leave the train station. About ten minutes later the train whistle blew and I felt the train start to move. Another moment or so later the compartment door opened. We both looked towards the door to see the blonde from the bookstore. He had three people behind him.

"You're the girl from the book store. Did you find the woman you were looking for?" the boy asked

"Yes, thank you. She was at the top of the stairs just like you said." I said

"Would you like to come and sit?" Adom/Imhotep asked

"Yes thank you. All the other compartments are either full or…" the second boy said

Adom and I looked at each other. He got up and moved so he was sitting next to me and the three boys sat across from us.

"So what are your names?" I asked

"I'm Vincent Crabbe, but most people call me Crabbe," Crabbe said

"I'm Gregory Goyle, but just like Crabbe I go by my last name." Goyle said

"I'm Theodore Nott, but most people call me Theo or Nott," Theo said

"I'm Draco Malfoy," Draco said

"I'm Adom Fadil," Adom said

"It's nice to meet you guys. I'm Amara O'Connell." I said

"Did you say, O'Connell. Are you related to Evelyn O'Connell nee Carnahan?" Theo asked

"Yes, she is my mother. How do you know her?" I asked

"My mother has read her work. Both the Muggle and Magical." Theo said

"She'll be glad to know someone is reading her work from the magical community. She was afraid no one would seeing as she is a Muggle." I said

I noticed that Crabbe, Goyle, and Draco all made brief eye contact.

"So you are a Muggle-born?" Draco carefully asked

Adom and I looked at each other.

Tom, what should I tell them?

Lie. Act like you don't know who your parents are only that they are a muggle-born and a pureblood. -Tom

"Evelyn and her husband adopted me when I was five," I said

"So you don't know if you are or aren't?" Theo asked

"I'm a half-blood. My birth mother was a Muggle-Born and my birth father was a Pure-Blood." I said

"Do you know their names?" Crabbe asked

"The goblins gave me a paper with their names on it but I don't care what it says. They gave me to my muggle Aunt and Uncle who in turn left me to die in the Egyptian desert at the age of 5." I said

Looks of horror passed over their faces.

"In Merlin's name why would they do that?" Theo asked

"Because they didn't like me because of my as they put it freakiness," I said

Once again looks of horror passed over their faces.

"The goblins had the same look on their face. So they were more than happy to help me. Evelyn and Rick are my parents in the eyes of not only the muggle but also a magical world. I was lucky enough to have the Head of Gringotts do the paperwork. So as he put it I got to keep all the perks." I said

"What did he mean by that?" Goyle asked

"That I got to keep the trust that was started the day I was born. I'll get to keep any family magic that I might have. I also get to keep the titles that I would have gotten if they were still my parents." I said

They nodded their heads. But still looked at me weird. The compartment was quiet for a few moments but Theo was the one who broke the silence. He looked like a light bulb had gone off.

"Wait if they left you in the Egyptian desert at the age of five and you are eleven now…you were there when the plagues hit," Theo said

Adom and I smiled while the others in the compartment looked at him like he was crazy.

"When the plagues hit?" Draco asked

"Yeah, do you remember a few years ago when your dad freaked out because something was going in Egypt," Theo said

Draco nods his head.

"Well her Mom wrote about it in a paper a few years later. It was the plagues of Egypt. It all happened because a mummy came back from the dead. So were you there?" Theo asked

Adom smiled, while I nodded my head.

"Yes, I was there. I was actually with them in the City of the Dead when he woke up." I said

"That so cool. So you've known about the magic and stuff from a young age even though you are muggle raised?" Theo asked

"Yes. If you think that paper was cool just wait. She will most likely write something about what happened this summer." I said

Theo's eyes got big.

"Are you talking about what happened at the British Museum?" Theo asked

"Yes, she is," Adom said

"Will you tell us about what is making Theo so happy?" Draco asked

"Maybe later. But right now I have a question for you guys." I said

"Okay, what's the question?" Draco asked

"I might know some stuff about magic, but I don't know what the houses are?" I asked

"Easy question. There are four Hogwarts Houses. The first is Hufflepuff you don't want to be in that house." Draco said

"There is nothing wrong with Hufflepuff. It's just that most of the people that don't fit in any of the other houses get put there. It's kind of the house for people that would fit in more than one house." Theo said

"Anyways. Hufflepuff is the house of badgers. They have the most traits for that house and they are dedication, hardworking, fairness, patience. kindness, tolerance, modesty, and above all they are very loyally. Then there is Ravenclaw which contrary to its name is the house of eagles. Their main traits are wit, wisdom, creativity, originality, individuality, acceptance, and intelligence. Third and by far the worst is Gryffindor. Which once again contrary to its name is the house of Lions. They are known for their nerve, courage, daring, chivalry, and bravery. And last and the best is Slytherin the house of snakes. We are known for our resourcefulness, determination, leadership, self-preservation, fraternity, cleverness, ambition, and cunningness. All four of us will be sorted into Slytherin." Draco said

"I got that," I said

"So which house do you think you will be sorted in?" Theo asked

"I don't know, by the way, Draco explained the houses I'll either be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin," I said

"Slytherin," Adom said

I laughed. Adom raised an eyebrow at me.

"You found that funny?" he asked

"Yes, seeing as you were killed twice. Wheres the self-preservation in that. Though I guess you got the determination and ambition down." I said

He let out a huff.

"Whatever," he said

I looked back across to the boys to see them looking at us with open mouths.

"What language was that?" Draco asked

"That was Ancient Egyptian," I said

"Sweet," Theo said

The compartment door opened and an older woman with a trolley was standing on the other side.

"Anything off the trolley, dears?" the woman asked

"Six of everything please," I said

I took out a few gold coins and handed them to her. She smiled and gave me six of everything. Once I had all of it I sat down and put the stuff on the seat.

"Go ahead and help yourselves. Let me know what's good and what's not." I said

They nodded. I watched Crabb and Goyle grab most of it though they did leave some behind.

"I think you would like the sugar quills and chocolate frogs," Theo asked

"Chocolate Frogs?" Adom asked

"Yes they are chocolate in the shape of a frog that has been spelled to jump and move like a frog but they do have one good jump in them," Theo said

"I like the peppermint toads or the ice mice," Draco said

"All of it." Crabbe and Goyle said

I ate some of the sugar quills and peppermint toads. I didn't the courage to eat an every flavor bean-like Adom who suddenly had a look of horror and disgust on his face. We were talking when the compartment door opened once again. It was the boys from the bank along with the redhead boy. The main boy looked at Draco and them with a look of disgust and something else, and then he looked at Adom and me with a different look.

"I didn't think I would ever see the day that Malfoy would be in the same room, let alone be talking to two muggleborns," he said

I didn't like the way he said muggleborn or Malfoy he said it the way the man at the books store had the first time. He looked at Adom and me.

"I don't think you know who you are talking to. That blonde hair slime ball's father was a Death Eater. Two muggleborns like yourselves shouldn't sit with him. Why don't you come sit with me?" the boy said

Adom and I looked at each other.

"Who are you?" I asked

The boy looked taken back, but it was the redhead that spoke,

"He is James Potter Jr. The boy-who-lived. He defeated you-know-who." the redhead said

Then it was my turn to look at them with disgust.

"I don't believe she asked you carrot top," Adom said

"Look I don't care who you are or what you did. All I know is that the first time I meet you, you were rude and entitled. And I don't make a habit of making friends with brats. So why don't you take your carrot top friend and your rude self and get out of this compartment." I said

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that you little Mudblood," James said

I looked over at Adom who quickly got up and forceable removed James and Carrot Top out of the compartment before once again shutting the door.

I can't believe that the great Light warrior just called you a Mudblood. If only his mightily father and mother could've heard him. Or the mighty Dumbledore. -Tom said

I went to say something back to Tom but the others in the compartment didn't let me get a chance.

"That was crazy. I can't believe Mr. Holier Than Thou called you a Mudblood." Draco said

"You do know what that means?" Theo asked

"But it was still cool that Adom just threw them out. That and you called Weasley Carrot Top." Draco said.

The rest of the train ride went by without interruption. When we arrived Adom and I followed the others out of the compart, then out of the train car. I saw this huge man.

That is Hagrid. A half-giant. -Tom said.

"Right, then! First-years, please! Come on, now, don't be shy! Come on now, hurry up!" the huge person said

We follow him down some steps where a huge amount of boats are waiting.

"Four to a boat." the huge man said

We all looked at each other. Adom, Draco, Theo, and I climb into a boat. We go along the lake and around a bend and come face to face with a huge castle. Once we make it to shore we all climb out and follow the huge man. We walk up some steps and are met by an older lady.

That is McGonagall. I believe she is the Transfiguration Professor. -Tom said.

"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates. But before you can take your seats you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Now, while you are here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn your house points. Any rule-breaking will lose your house points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup." McGonagall said

I see a scared-looking boy, spot something near McGonagall, he jumps forward.

"Trevor!" the boy said

McGonagall stares down at the boy.

"Sorry." He said

He slowly backs away. We follow her to a set of huge wooden doors.

"The sorting ceremony will begin momentarily," McGonagall said

She then turns and leaves. We all kind of stand in silence.

I want you to be prepared for whatever is on the other side of that door. No matter what house you go into that won't be who you are. What house do you want? -Tom asked

You'll have to wait and see.

McGonagall returns.

"We're ready for you now," McGonagall said

She leads use through two large doors and into the Great Hall, where there are four long tables with many kids, as well as floating candies. The roof appears to be the sky. A brushy haired girl starts talking.

"It's not real, the ceiling. It's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A History." the girl said

"All right, you will wait along here, please? Now, before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." McGonagall said

An old man stands up from a throne-like chair.

"I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce. Will the first years please note that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students. Also, our caretaker, Mr. Filch has asked me to remind you that the 3rd-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death. Thank you." Dumbledore said

"When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place the sorting hat on your head, and you will be sorted into your houses," McGonagall said

She started to call people's names. I looked around at all the teachers, Tom told me all the names of the people he knew. I start looking at the staff table on the left-hand side I see a man with a long nose and greasy black hair.

Severus Snape. Potions. Death Eater. Head of Slytherin House. -Tom

I continued down the line. I stopped at a man that had his head wrapped in purple cloth. Tom didn't know who he was but we both got the feeling that there was something off about him. There were a few more people, an empty seat, Dumbledore, then next to him was the man from the bank.

That is your farther James Potter. I'm not sure what he is doing here. The man next to him is Sirius Black. You are now his head as you took his title that he was too stupid to not claim. Then the woman next Sirius is your mother. -Tom said

They are most likely here because they can't let their precious James come alone to school.

I looked at Lily for a moment and our eyes meet. Something flashed across her face but I looked away.

"Hermione Granger," McGonagall said

I saw the brushy haired girl step forward.

"Oh, no. Okay, relax." Hermione said

"Mental that on, I'm telling you." Carrot Top said

James nodded his heads. She sat down McGonagall put the hat on her head.

"Gryffindor." the hat yelled

Hermione smiled and hopped off the stool and made her way to the Ravenclaw table.

"Draco Malfoy."

Draco saunters up proudly. The tattered hat nearly freaks before touching down on Draco's head.

"Slytherin!" the hat yells

"Vincent Crabbe"

"Slytherin."

Theodore Nott."

"Slytherin."

"Gregory Goyle."

"Slytherin."

"James Potter Jr," McGonagall said

The hall went silent, I saw a look of pride flash across senior's face. James walks up towards the stool, he walks with arrogance. He sat down on the stool, McGonagall put the hat on his head. A minute or so passed before the hat yelled out.

"Gryffindor."

The Gryffindor table went crazy, as did his father and Sirius Black. I rolled my eyes and noticed that the Slytherin table looked ashamed.

They are ashamed that wizards would act like a bunch of animals. -Tom said

"Adom Fadil," McGonagall said

Adom and I looked at each other. He walked up and sat on the stool, I saw a look disgust pass over his face when the hat was put on his head. It took a while for the hat to sort Adom most likely because the hat was getting over the shock of it being on the head of a 2000-year-old mummy. But the hat did sort him.

"Slytherin."

Adom smirked and got up and walked over the Slytherin table and sat down in the open spot across by Draco. I knew my name was going to be the next called I looked up at the Potters.

"Amara O'Connell."

I walk up to the stool and I sit down. McGonagall puts the hat on my head,

O'Connell are you sure it's not Potter.

Oh, I'm sure.

Well, you would fit perfectly into any house. I do believe thou that you wouldn't want to be in Gryffindor. Due to your birth parents and brother. You probably don't want me to put you Hufflepuff.

No, I don't want Hufflepuff or Gryffindor.

Put her in Slytherin, Alastair. -Tom interjected

Tom Riddle is that you in her head?

Yes. Now put the new Lady Slytherin in Slytherin. -Tom interjected again

Fine. I would've put her there anyways.

"Slytherin," Alastair said

I stood up and made my way over to the Slytherin table and sat down next Adom across from Draco.

"I'm glad you got Slytherin," Draco said

"You say that now, but it is going to be an uphill battle. I'm going to have to prove that even though my blood status is a half-blood I'm still on the same level as the rest of you." I said

"Don't worry, you've fought enough. We will stand by your side. Well only if you tell us about Egypt and what happened to the British Museum." Theo said

"Of course I will tell you. Either tonight or tomorrow." I said

"Who are your new friends Draco?" Someone asked

I looked up to see a pug face girl who was seated on the other side of Crabbe.

"I'm Amara O'Connell. What is your name?" I asked

"I'm Pansy Parkinson." The girl said

She will most likely be a future Death Eater. -Tom

Okay.

Pansy looked at Adom and waited for him to introduce himself. But he didn't.

"Adom introduce yourself," I said

He looked at Pansy.

"Adom Fadil," Adom said

"Sorry about him. He's not very social." I said

"Sorry to interrupt. I'm Blaise Zabini. What language was that?" Blaise asked

"Ancient Egyptian. He's from Egypt and my mother is a little obsessed with that country and it's history." I said

"A little. She the reincarnation of Nefertiti." Adom said

"Are you serious?" Theo asked

"Yes," I said

We all talked a little as we ate. Once we were done we were told to follow the perfects to the dorm. We followed the perfects to what looked like the dungeon. We stopped at a wall. The perfects turned to look at us.

"This is the entrance. The password changes every month. The new one will be posted on the board in the common room. Don't forget the password. Also, you will know you are in front of the right spot because there is a snake on the top corner of the top brick." the male perfect said

The female perfect then points up to a brick, and there it is a carving of a snake. We all nodded our heads. The male perfects then turned and faced the wall.

"Salazar." The male perfect said

The brick doors then fell away. We all then entered the common room. What I found cool were the windows that looked out into the Black Lake.

God how I've missed this place. I started off my school sharing a room with others then I got to use the heir room. -Tom said

I don't think I want to use the heir room, at least not right now. I want to know how they are going to act or treat me.

Good plan but don't let them walk all over you. You are above them in power and name. -Tom

Don't worry Tom.

"You all will remain here. Our head of house Professor Snape will be here soon to talk about the rules of this house." The female perfect said

They then walked away. The only noise you could hear in the common room was the crackling of the fire. We all heard the bricks move, the entire group turned our heads to look at the person who entered. We all moved so that he was standing at the front of the group.

"I am your head of house Professor Snape. Being a Slytherin is an honor but it is also very difficult, because of our founder beliefs and the actions of some of the Slytherins before you. The other house will treat you like you are beneath them. The teachers will judge you more harshly because of the house you are in. So this house has rules that everyone must follow. The first rule if you break a school rule don't get caught. Second, if you bully a member of another house don't get caught by another teacher. Third, what happens in Slytherin stays in Slytherin. Fourth and most likely the most important one. Do not treat other Slytherins horribly out in the open. You all will have a hard enough time being picked on and hearing what the other houses will say about you. So deal with it in this room. Also if you have an issue with another student let me know and I will deal with it. If you have a problem with a teacher let me know and I will handle it. But I would prefer it if you brought the problems to the attention of your other year mates and sometimes even the kids and the years above. The last rule is never to go anywhere only. There is power in numbers. The Slytherins are like family once a Slytherin always a Slytherin." Snape said

It's nice to know that the rules haven't changed. It's most likely the old head of the house tells them to the new head of the house. Thought the last part isn't always true. -Tom

They most likely do. The rules were probably set forth years ago.

With that Snape turned and left the common room. The two perfects came back into the room.

"To the right are the girl rooms, and to the left are the boy rooms." the female perfect said

"What room is that?" someone asked

The person points to a set of double doors that had a big snake carved on it.

"That room belongs to the Heir of Slytherin. Those doors haven't opened in over 40 years ago. I also suggest not trying to open them." the male perfect said

"Your rooms will have your names on it. You will also find your trunks at the foot of your bed. We except all of you in your bed by nine, it is currently eight. Welcome to Slytherin." the female perfect said

She and the male perfect turned and left. I moved over at sat down in a big chair that was near the doors that lead to the heir rooms. Adom moved so that he was standing just behind my chair. Draco, Theo, Crabbe, and Goyle sat down in the sofas around us.

"Okay, it's later. Tell me what happened." Theo said

"Don't you think she should start at the beginning seeing as we have no clue what's going on," Draco said

"What's going on?" Pansy asked

"I think Amara is going to tell us a story," Crabbe said

"I like stories," Pansy said

She said it loud enough that a few others heard and came over.

"What kind of story?" Blaise asked

"It's not a story," I said

"I don't care let's hear it." a blonde-haired girl said

So I told them my story. I started at the begging, I told them what my Uncle did, I told them about meeting Evelyn and the Americans. I then told them how Evelyn woke Imhotep up from the dead. Then I had to tell them about how he came to be the living dead. I told them about the plagues of Egypt and how I made my muggle relatives think it was me. They all laughed at that. I told them how we then put him back in the ground. They all just looked at me.

"Umm. So what happened to the British Museum?" Theo asked

So I told them about how my mother was having these dreams, so we went to find out what they meant. How there was a group of people that wanted to raise Imhotep again. How they were being led by a woman who was the reincarnation of Imhotep's lover. I told them my brother put the bracelet on, and I put the necklace on. How were taken to Imhotep. How we once again traveled across Egypt to where the Scorpion King was. I told them how the Scorpion King no longer lives. I however didn't tell them that I now hold the title. I told them Imhotep jumped back into the pit. I didn't tell them that I saved Imhotep.

"Wait so that last half just happened?" Theo asked

"Yup, we got back three weeks before the school year started," I said

"So I take it you aren't a big fan of muggles?" the blonde girl asked

"Unfortunately that is a hard question to answer. I like some muggles, while there are others that I wouldn't mind to see drop dead." I said

"I like you, you are very to the point." the blonde girl said

"Thank you…" I trailed off

"Sorry, Daphne Greengrass," Daphne said

"Nice to meet you, Daphne," I said

"So, what happened to the Book of the Living, and the Book of the Dead?" Theo asked

"Which time?" I asked

"The last time?" Blaise asked

"I think they went down when Ahm-Shere went down," I said

"That's too bad. The knowledge they might hold." Blaise said

"Yeah, my mom thought the same thing. And you guys just heard how that turned out." I said

We all talked for a few more moments. Adom leaned down and whispered in my ear.

"It's time for you to get some sleep," Adom said

I nod my head. I stand up from my chair.

"I think I'm going to head to bed. Pansy and Daphne where are you guys sleeping?" I asked

"I don't know. I've not looked." Pansy said

"I haven't looked either. Maybe our rooms are next to each other." Daphne said

"Let's go look," I said

We walked out of the room and headed towards where the girl dorms were. As we walked we saw that the first floor was the first-year dorms. We walked down the hall we looked at the doors. We hadn't found our names yet. We came to the last few doors, and there it was our names. We opened the doors that had our name on it.

Looks just like the male dorms. I liked the heir rooms better. -Tom

"Goodnight ladies," I said

"Goodnight Amara." Pansy and Daphne said.
