Chapter 8- History
Chapter 8- History
(Previously)
“And who might you be?” He asked softly in a language that had been lost for several millennia, ancient Egyptian, Harry blinked, he didn’t think that this particular type of language had been used in at least five thousand years, maybe four. And mentally he was cursing his luck.
The man raised an eyebrow and Harry flushed, realizing he hadn’t answered his question. “My name is Harry” Harry whispered quietly in the same language. The man smiled and Harry saw cruelty in the mans eyes. “Hello Harry my name is Memnon.”
❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?❦?
“A pleasure,” Harry said sliding off the soft bed. He looked around and smiled in relief when he saw his backpack laying next to him. Harry made his way to the large ornate doors that most likely lead to the hallway.
A small chuckle came from behind him and he instinctively
looked back but didn’t see Memnon. Harry frowned in confusion and turned back around only to cry out when he saw Memnon was standing in front of him.
Memnon smiled in amusement and took several steps forward before Harry felt the back of his knees hit the edge of the bed. Memnon reached out and shoved him backwards. Harry landed of his back with a small oof. “I don’t believe I gave you permission to leave,” Memnon said quietly. “In fact I don’t believe I ever will, you are much to lovely to be free, you shall join my harem,” Memnon mused. Harry’s eye twitched. ‘What in the world did you get yourself into?!’ He asked himself in horror.
Harry knew what to do when Memnon reached out for him, just before his hand latched onto him, Harry’s leg shot out and nailed him right between the legs. Memnon’s face turned white as he toppled over in agony.
Harry grinned as he jumped up, Turning his backpack into a small necklace as he went, and darted towards the door. It did matter what time period it was that trick would work for the rest of eternity.
❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦
Harry glanced around before running down the hallway when the coast was clear. The guards had been informed that he was there about 15 minutes ago and he had sneaking around for about 20 minutes since he had left Memnon in a heap. Harry snorted as he thought back to that.
He peered into another room and was relieved to see that it was empty and entered it. The room itself was rather bare except for the large pool that was filled with water that had a whole bunch of flower petals floating at the top. Harry walked over to it and stuck his hand in and marveled that it was very warm.
Harry whipped around when he heard footsteps and voices. He looked around frantically before looking down at the water. Thinking quickly he cast a bubble head charm, removed his shoes, and stepped in, making sure to stay near the back and bottom, out of sight.
Harry crouched back even more when he saw a slender female leg step into the bath and blushed a little, even though he already had his priorities straight (Well, not really) When it came to what exactly he was attracted to, and turned away.
After a while he heard a commotion but couldn’t see anything seeing as more petals had been thrown in. Then two much more masculine legs appear in the water and he raised an eyebrow in bewilderment. That’s when he heard the shouts of the guards, he knew that they were guards because of their of “Get Him!” and “There He Is!”.
All of a sudden the little doorway that laid at the bottom of the pool opened and Harry cried out as he was sucked down into it. The bubble snapped and Harry tried to close his mouth to no success. He could faintly see two people sliding down in front of him and guessed that it was the male and female from before.
He felt like he was falling for an eternity before he resurfaced. Both the man and woman stared at him and he smiled sheepishly. The rather frightening mans eyes narrowed and Harry let out a small yelp and as he was yanked out of t he well they had winded up in.
The man scowled at everyone who was staring at them and grabbed two cloaks that he wrapped around Harry and the woman. Harry opened his mouth to complain but stiffened when he felt a knife poking into his back and shut it. In normal circumstances he probably would’ve screamed for help or something but being held by knife point, and having the leader of the entire place he was currently in after him, pretty much popped that idea.
Harry sighed as they got through the gates just before they closed. Staring out at the desert before him he asked him self once more, ‘What have you gotten yourself into?!’

(With Seth, Place Unknown)
Seth stared moodily out the window. Valintino was sitting calmly on his bed watching Seth with an almost amused look on his face. “Seth,” “Seth” “SETH!” Valintino finally shouted after getting no response. Seth jerked around and stared at him in surprise before turning back around to stare out the window. “What,” He muttered. “You should stop sulking, it’s your own fault that your in this predicament any way”. Seth shot him a dirty look. “What? It’s true,” Valintino said with a ‘Stop denying it you know I’m right’ look on his face. Valintino had a point. But he was damned if he was going to admit it!.
After telling Valintino to dispose of the Zombies he had stomped around in a senseless rage, scaring several visiting civilians and servants during so, before collapsing from the bites he had received from the Zombies. He had awoken about an hour later and was told that he had as much power as a Pomppy(1), which meant that he couldn’t go and get Harry, needless to say he was pissed. Of course Valintino had no problem with rubbing the fact if he had gone straight to the infirmary, instead of letting what ever the Zombies had passed onto him spread, he would’ve probably been able to get to Harry by nightfall in his face.
He just couldn’t relax, even when Valintino told him that he was in good hands and was very safe at the moment. Seth looked down, to be honest he was afraid. He didn’t know exactly what time Harry had fallen into, only that he was still in Egypt and that is was really far in the past. Seth tried to calm himself down but couldn’t, all his thoughts revolving around Harry.
Valintino sighed and got up, it was clear that Seth wasn’t in the mood to talk, so he quietly left the room. Seth didn’t even notice.
The more he thought about Harry the more he thought about how they met, how Harry had become so important to him, he started to reminisce.
-Flashback-
Seth walked slowly, enjoying the warm weather. It had been a long time since he had visited the human world and he was impressed with how much it had advanced. He went to sit on a bench nearby when he heard sniffling from behind a couple of bushes and moved towards them.
He blinked when he saw a little boy of perhaps 5 or 6 sitting on the ground, head slightly bowed and he crouched down in front of him. “What’s the matter little one?” He asked in concern. The little head shot up and he found himself staring into bright green eyes.
The little boy hastily wiped his eyes and nose and eyed him with distrust. Seth just smiled kindly at him and gave him a patient look. “The teachers at my school said not to talk to strangers,” The boy said quietly. Seth chuckled softly. “People are only strangers unless you know important things about them, so let me tell you a few things about my self. My name is Seth, I’m really old, my best friends name is Valintino, my eyes can change color,” This he demonstrated and was amused when the boy gasped in awe, “ and I would also like to know why a little boy such as yourself is sitting here alone instead of playing with the other children.” He said gently.
The boy glanced down again before speaking. “My Cousin Dudley told everyone not to play with me or he and his friends would beat them up,” he said sadly. Seth sighed mentally, children were so cruel sometimes. “Well since you don’t have anyone to play with how about we play a game.” The boy glanced up in curiosity. “It is a color game. I will show you several colors and if you manage to get at least 8 right I will buy you a ice cream cone. What do you think?” Seth asked. A thoughtful look came to the boys face before he nodded.
Seth held his hand out and a small glowing ball appeared over his hand. The boy gasped in fascinated surprise and Seth couldn’t help but smile. Over the next ten minutes the ball changed color 20 times the boy managed to guess 15 much to his obvious delight.
The light disappeared and the boy was smiling brilliantly. “It seems you have won your ice cream,” Seth said with a grin. He got up, pulling the little boy with him and lead him over to the nearest ice cream selling man.
“Well I’m off,” Seth said. The little boy looked up from his ice cream, that he was staring at like it was the Holy Grail, and smiled. “Thank you for the ice cream Mr. Seth,” He said shyly. “It was no problem, oh yeah would you mind telling me your name?” Seth asked curiously. “My name is Harry,” he said before darting back behind his bushes.
Seth blinked in surprise, gave a little laugh and walked towards a couple of trees before disappearing all together.
-End of Flashback-
Seth leaned back, a small smile curling the edge of his lips as he remembered his first meeting with Harry. He had been such an adorable child. During the course of that year he had met up with Harry on a weekly bases and had even entertained thoughts of adopting the boy more than once after he discovered that Harry parents were dead and lived with neglectful relatives, but had decided against that. The smile disappeared. Then he had discovered that the Dursley’s had done more then neglect Harry.
