Hogwarts reads Harry Potter, Prince of Egypt
A/N: There's really no point to give. I was watching Harry Potter and Prince of Egypt yesterday and I thought of a hogwarts reads based on it and so many ideas came to my head and my brain yelled at me to write it, so here it is. I do not own HP or Prince of Egypt or any characters.
During 4th year, after the champions had been announced, Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked to the great hall where Dumbledore had called a school meeting. Everyone was anxious to hear it, because Dumbledore hardly ever called a school meeting. The Beaubaxtons and Durmstrang were having classes, so they wouldn't be joining.
When everyone was seated inside, teachers and students, Dumbledore approached his stand. "Good morning, everyone. I know you're all wondering why I all summoned you here, so let's get to the point. Last night, in my office, I came across a rather fascinating book.
He showed it to everyone, and on the cover, it said: Harry Potter, Prince of Egypt. He was extraordinarly confused. He was not a prince of Egypt. Egypt didn't even use the term Prince anymore.
"Blimey Harry, you never told us you were a prince" Ron said.
"Well Ron, maybe that's because I'm not, the book is probably complete fiction" Harry explained.
"As a school treat, I will cancel all classes today. So that we can read this" Dumbledore said.
Harry facepalmed. Wonderful, another way to make the whole school think he's an arrogant brat.
Snape glared at him. Now Potter's ego will be higher than ever.
The whole school, however didn't care what it was about, they were just glad to be getting a break from classes.
"I shall begin. The first chapter is titled, Deliver us"
He flipped the page and read,
"FASTER!" A guard whipped on a Hebrew slave.
Everyone gasped. Slavery?
Slaves suffered the whip from Egyptians for many years. They were forced to build the Egyptian temples day after day until they die.
Everyone felt really uncomfortable, especially Ron. Had the temples and pyramids he had visited on his trip to Egypt really been built by slaves?
"The Pharaoh, Lucius Malfoy,
Malfoy from the Slytherin table, raised his eyebrows. His father, a Pharaoh? "It seems the people in this book has a good leader" He thought with arrogance.
Was pleased that the temples and statues were going exactly as the gods had envisioned him. But felt that the population of the hebrews was getting too large, almost to start a rebellion.
"He isn't" Hermione said.
"Snape! Finch!" He yelled. The two men entered his throne room and bowed. "My Pharaoh" they said in unison. "Tell all my guards I order to kill all of the male babies of the Hebrews"
Everyone glared and yelled at Malfoy. "Your father is a monster"
"That's monstrous"
"He should be fired"
"SILENCE" Dumbledore screamed and everyone did as much. "While I agree that is a dreadful thing to do, we all know that it's fiction. I believe Mr. Malfoy's father would never do such a thing. Now settle down and let's continue"
"Yes my lord" The two said. No less than 10 minutes later, he saw all of his soldiers going into the Hebrew village.
Guards went into their homes, grabbing babies by neck, head, and legs, tossing them into the Nile, where crocodiles awaited food.
"This is completely heart breaking" Cho Chang said. To hear that hundreds of people's babies were being used as food is just unbelievably sad.
But one mother wasn't going to let her son die.
Everyone looked up to hear what he had meant.
A woman with long red hair and emerald green eyes looked down onto her child
"Lily" Snape thought. He shed a single tear but quickly dried it so no one could see.
God had never answered her prayers once before in her life, so she had to do this alone. "Hermione, grab a basket"
Hermione did as her mother told. "Good now follow me, you as well, Neville" She said.
Both Hermione and Neville knew the book was fiction so they didn't argue.
The both of them followed their mother, with their baby brother in her hands. The woman looked onto her son and sang to him, "Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach. Al ti-ra veh al tif-chad"
"What?" almost everyone questioned.
"I studied this language before" Hermione said. "She said, my good and tender son. Don't be frightened and don't be scared"
They avoided from being seen from many guards until they came to the Nile. "Hermione hand me the basket" The daughter did as told and the woman put her son into the basket.
"Hush now, my baby. Be still, love, don't cry. Sleep as you're rocked by the stream. Sleep and remember my last lullaby. So I'll be with you, when you dream"
All the girls awed and cooed.
With one last glance, she closed the basket and let it into the river. She looked up into the sky.
"God, you have never answered any of the prayers I have given. But do this one thing for me. Let the river flow gently and take him to somewhere he can live free and safe from the whip"
She walked away from the river, along with Neville. But Hermione however was curious.
"When is she ever not curious?" Ron asked.
Hermione swung at his arm.
"Ow" he said.
"You know you deserved it" She said.
The basket flowed along the river and into many dangers. The crocodiles almost ate the basket, it was almost caught by guards on a boat catching fish and was almost crushed by two boats.
Hermione was frightened by the sight. But was relieved when the basket flowed into the palace of the Pharaoh, where Narcissa Malfoy and her baby boy, Draco, were gathering water.
"Ah, wonderful, a baby version of the blonde git" Fred and George snickered.
"Mr. Weasleys" McGonagall scolded.
She sneaked through the curtains and saw Narcissa open the basket to reveal a healthy, baby boy. She picked him up.
"Thank God" Hermione whispered. "Please answer this prayer, God, when he grows, have him deliver us from slavery and into freedom" With that said, she left for her home.
"Momma" Draco whimpered, holding his hands out to his mother.
"It would be cuter if it wasn't him" Ginny remarked.
"Come, Draco, we will show Pharaoh your new baby brother, Harry"
Harry and Malfoy looked at each other. Them? Brothers?
"That is the end of the first chapter" Dumbledore said.
A/N: I know, it sucks, I'm sorry, It's just I couldn't find a way to put a whole song as a chapter. But it will get better, I promise.
