Harry Potter and the Curse of the Gods

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter/Stargate SG1 and any characters or places from within the two deep and mysterious tales.
A/N: For those of you who don't know, this is a Stargate/Harry Potter crossover. That means it deals with concepts from both shows/movies/books.
I guess you know what Harry Potter is, so let me explain a little on Stargate. If you know what it is, or simply don't care, skip to the end of the italics.
Stargate is a show on the Sci-Fi channel (75 if you have Comcast) and runs at about six o'clock on normal weekdays, and 7-11 on Mondays. Friday has two episodes from the current season (8) and it's spin-off show (Stargate: Atlantis). Anyways, it all started with a movie (Stargate) a couple of years ago (at least more then eight). Anyways, a guy finds a large stone ring (I think it is a story tall) in the sand in ancient Egypt I believe and it is carted off for the government to study. Some years later, Daniel Jackson (an linguist/anthropologist/archeologist) is in front of a group of archeologists and says he believes the pyramids are older and such and such (I don't remember exactly) and is kicked out of the fancy little club.
Where he soon after (meaning as he walked outside) met a woman named Katherine gives him a job (sort off). Basically he works finding out what a set of strange symbols means, and corrects hieroglyph translation mistakes in about thirty seconds. It all revolves around something called the Gate of the Stars aka the Stargate. He spends a week solving the puzzle, not even knowing what the Stargate is (which can transport beings from one place to another through a wormhole). Stuff happens, and Daniel, Jack O'Neill (the commanding officer on the team) and a team head through another planet.
Basically they save it from a Gua'Uld claiming to be Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun, they send him a nuke (or at least a really big bomb) and blow his ship sky high (well... to smithereens at least). Daniel stays behind and gets married; Jack and the team go back, saying Daniel died. A year later, as the Stargate program was about to be shut down, a group of mystery men come through the gate, kidnap a female officer and kill the rest, then leave. Jack sends a message to Abados (where Daniel is) he responds, yada yada yada, then Jack comes through because they think the Gua'Uld (which are parasitic snake like things) came from there.
Turns out they didn't, and that there are many different types of combinations to use the Stargate and Daniel shows Jack a temple with hundreds of Addresses. (Think of a Phone book and the Stargate the phone.) This continues... Daniel's wife and her brother are kidnapped and then they go after them where they meet Teal'c, a Jaffa (meaning he carries a baby Gua'Uld in his gut later referred to as 'Junior'.) and they work together to save everyone. Some where in there they met Sam Carter (a female).
I suck at summaries, and if you really want to know, I suggest renting Stargate at a Blockbuster near you, and watching the TV show sometimes. ;)
I also will be using rough Latin translations in this, so don't sue me if you don't like it.
On to the first part...
The catacomb was quite, except for the constant yet irregular dripping of water from overhead and the occasional scurrying of a mouse as it ran back to its home in the deep underground labyrinth. Shadows danced on the walls, the gentle swaying light bulbs the only source of light. The bones of those long deceased lined the walls, skulls placed around in an artistic sort of way. And the stale scent of dried bones and Earth was all that there was for miles around.
But all of this seemed to have no effect on the two-cloaked figures, as they slowly walked through the maze of bones, as if looking for something particular. The leaders hood was pulled low over his face, and nothing of his appearance could be seen. The shorter man following though, held a stick giving of faint light that showed the nervousness that flooded his mousy face.
The two kept walking, their gentle footfalls echoing loudly in the abandoned underground graveyard, but soft enough that no one would know they were there more then a quarter a mile away. They seemed to have no destination, and had simply decided they wanted to walk in the death filled park of skeletons and rats.
After a few miles of walking in the twisting and turning maze, and seemingly have gotten no where, the leader stopped in front of a large portrait of a large half giant glaring down at them evilly. The thin lips of the leader twisted into a cruel smile, as he put a hand on the painting, feeling the coolness of the long dried pain washing over him.
"Coarguo veritas" The leader whispered softly, as the frame of the large painting glowed a soft green, before hinges appeared on one side, and the flute the half giant had been holding became a door handle, which easily slid open upon the man's touch, "Finally..."
He entered a large room, lined with gold, silk and tapestries hanging on the walls surrounding the treasures. A large throne sat in the middle of the room, red velvet cushions and gold armrests and backboard, each engraved with the largest, and most beautiful gemstones the servant had ever seen.
The leader continued his walk up a red carpet, eyeing the dust free objects in the room. There had to be more moneys worth in here then the Queen of England had ever seen in her entire life! He finally stopped his long walk when he had reached the base of the throne.
A pale and bone thin hand reached out, only to come in contact with a barrier, which spread around the throne in a large circle. He looked around, but there seemed to be no way to penetrate the large protection charm. Even if he were to try his magic, the odds of it working...
He continued to examine the throne, when two sets of writing at the bottom caught his attention. The first he did not recognize, and consisted of many strange symbols that were elegantly carved into the gold itself. The second on the other hand, looked more familiar.
Modo caeles acou solium.
A twisted smile formed on his lips, as he chuckled softly. So that's how the gods wanted to play, eh? Well two could play at that game. He quickly turned around, and began shifting around the treasures in search of something.
Goblets... Coins... A Chariot... A statue...
The leader growled in frustration, not finding what he was looking for. He grabbed a gold coin and threw it as far as he could to the other side of the room, where it bounced off of a familiar shield protecting an urn.
The smile reappeared on his face, as he walked to the other side of the room, kneeling by the gold urn. More of the strange urn decorated its surface, along with more of the familiar Latin scrawl.
"Evinco detestor iracundia, conluvies converso supervivo, denique adergo homo abicio," the leader read aloud, before reaching over and stroking the side of the urn.
It was here. The key to his immortality...
And half thinking, he pulled the top of the urn off, and uttered a scream as what was within entered his body.
His scream echoed loudly through the catacombs, and quickly died the next moment. A boney hand pulled down his hood to reveal to red, snake like eyes, which flashed white for a moment, before he turned around a strode to his throne, passed through the barrier and sat down.
"I am awake at last," a strange voice said, different from the one before, "it is time to reclaim this land as my very own once more."
The mouse faced servant stared in fear, shaking badly and ready to collapse. He immediately fell to his knees in front of his master, saying meaningless babble of how he would be by his side the whole time, ready for his master to use him however he wished.
The master raised an eyebrow, a cold smirk on his face and uttered a single curse as the servant quickly twisted and wreathed in pain before him, ending it a half moment later. Touching his chin gently, he looked around his treasure room and laughed coldly.
"I am your god," his voice echoed loudly, "And none shall stand in my way!"
Coargou veritas- Show me the Truth
Modo caeles acou solium- only a god may touch this throne
Evinco detestor iracundia, conluvies converso supervivo, denique adergo homo abicio- Through the Gods Wrath, we have survived, finally bringing him down
