Chapter I: The trip (Z)
I felt my body being shook outside of my dream. "Huh?" I say sitting up on my forearms, looking over at my husband who still had his hand on my shoulder. "You did it again, dear." Sirius says, kissing my forehead lightly. Of course I knew what he meant me talking in my sleep. "Sorry." I reply. "You're fine Zoë, besides we needed to get up any ways for the trip." He smiles before getting up, taking the blanket. I smile back in amusement, my best friend (who was more like the sister I never had), Lily told me years ago when we (me and Sirius) were dating that Sirius loved his teasing, but I tend not to listen to people

"I can't believe they are taking us to Egypt!" Lily Potter squeals near my ear. "Yeah, if you need some historical facts you can just ask me." I reply, I know everything about the ancient Egyptians, especially The Twin Pharaohs. Sirius slips his hand into my free one as he asks James when we're leaving. "In a few minutes or so. The plane will be landing at the airport at about 8:00." James replied, looking at his watch. Normally they (everyone but me) wouldn't have taken an airplane but with me being classified as a "Muggle" they couldn't without breaking a few rules.

We stepped off the plane and then out of the airport in Cairo, Egypt. "Wow! Where should we go first?" Sirius asks, "The hotel to drop off our stuff." I suggest. I don't know about them, but I didn't feel like lugging things around if I didn't have to. "That would be a good idea." Lily agrees, and she mad more bags than me. But I knew more or less what to expect in Egypt, that is if the power goes out in the middle of summer, that's a living Hell if you are not used to it. The boys nods in agreement and we head to the hotel.
"Zoë! I found the museum you might enjoy." Lily calls, I look at one of the signs for the exhibit that lead her to say it: The Royal Twins, part of me didn't want to go, but Lily was there so I respond with "Sure." I smile before walking in with her, our husbands in tow.
As the women from the museum showed us around, I had to refrain from correcting her "facts". But I never expected perfection. "Here is the part of muse dedicated to Pharaoh Yugio and his princess Zoroya. Now who have heard of them?" the lady asks us, Lily and I raise our hands. "My, this is a new record." Not much of a surprise, in full honesty, Lily wouldn't have if it wasn't for me.
"Well, if you can answer at least five of my ten questions about these two, you may get a free tour of their tombs." The lady said. I gave her a smirk "Alright, I accept this challenge. Be prepared for some corrections."
"Question one: What makes Pharaoh Yugio and princess Zoroya different from the other members of the House of Pharaoh?" she asks right off the bat, This is too easy. I thought, answering the question correctly.
The QNA went on for about five minutes with limited corrections. "My, not a single wrong answer! You and your friends get the tour. I'll get the guide to the tomb." the lady says with shock, leaving us. "That was amazing, Zoë." James says as we walked out of the museum. "It was nothing really just facts that I knew." I shrug. If I didn't know this much, I wouldn't have lived up to who I was.
"You the group who won?" a man asks use as we walked back into the heat. "Yeah, and you are?" Sirius asks him; "Most calls me Ian. Well, let's get started, we have a bit to go folks." Ian says laying the way.

"Now inside of the real type guide. He knows just about everything about the Twins" Ian says at the entrance. I of course led the way until I almost knocked a guy over. "Sorry." I say, he was wearing full ancient Egyptian attire but when looked up at his face, felt like I've met him before.
