Notes: For those of you who have never seen Yu-Gi-Oh you may find the Hikari/Yami concept a bid taxing. Basically Atem (or Yami) was a Pharaoh who sealed his soul into a special item (Senen Puzzle - an upside down golden pyramid that was a jigsaw that Yuugi solved). Now, 3000 years later Yuugi solves the puzzle and releases the spirit of the pharaoh. Yuugi is the reincarnation of Atem. They duel with the duel monsters cards (which you must have seen) and are the world champion. Atem and Yuugi share a body that changes slightly when a different soul is in possession.

Dumbledore got to his feet and talking ceased in the Great Hall as all eyes were focused on him.
"Well, now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of-term notices." He paused for a moment and then continued, "First-years ought to know that the Forest in the grounds is out-of-bounds to students – and a few of our older students ought to know by now too." (A certain trio smirked at each other.)
"Mr Filch, the caretaker, has asked me, for hat he tells me is the four-hundred-an-sixty-second time, to remind you all that magic is not permitted in the corridors between classes, nor are a number of other things, all of which can be checked on the extensive list fastened to Mr Filch's office door."
"We have three changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons." The aforementioned re-instated professor stood up and there were, albeit unenthusiastic, applause. Horrified glances were exchanged between Harry, Ron and Hermione since there seemed to be now sign of Hagrid, nor had Dumbledore mentioned him.
"We are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.' The applause for this woman were next to none and trickled to nothing in record time.
"And finally, after many…extended…years of successful teaching, Professor Binns, our History of Magic teacher, has decided to retire and is now lounging in a cemetery in Hawaii. But from the ashes rises anew and our new History of Magic professor is Professor Mouto from Japan, unfortunately he is-"
There was a great resounding bang and everyone turned to face the entrance to the Great Hall was swung open to reveal a relatively small figure (5" 7' at best) swathed in a thick black coat, lined with brown and cream fur.
"- late," Dumbledore after a contemplative pause but hardly anyone was listening. All eyes were focused on the figure that was now striding up to the staff table, his large, black combat boots thunking against the cold, stone, floor.
The figure reached the table and stood before Dumbledore, Professor Umbridge was peering at him. "I'm sorry I'm late sir, I was…delayed."
"Well I'm sure the school has enjoyed the temporary reprieve from my voice," Dumbledore chuckled, "so I shall forgive you."
"Hem hem," the hood of figure turned in the direction of the cough, "Isn't it considered rude in Japan to wear hoods indoors?" simpered Professor Umbridge.
"Yes," the figure replied moving his hands up to lower it, "but it is also considered rude, both here and in Japan, to interrupt a conversation between two separate entities."
Some students sniggered, and others gasped, as the black, pointed hair with red tips was revealed to them. Professor Umbridge narrowed her eyes and Professor McGonagall quirked her lip upwards, Dumbledore looked impassive.
"Well students," Dumbledore said, bringing attention back to him and away from the cloud of tension and obvious dislike that had settled between both Professor Mouto and Professor Umbridge. "This is Professor Mouto," the figure turned and a pair of scarlet eyes swept across the hall and the blonde surrounding the small professor's face was revealed and the blonde that streaked through his hair. "He will be your History of Magic teacher."
With a nod the man sat down in the only remaining empty seat, Umbridge glaring at him, students looking on in awe as Dumbledore continued with the notices. Professor Yuugi Mouto did not look at anyone, merely pulled a book from the depths of his cloak and began to read. Those sat next to him couldn't help but notice that the eyes, which had once been red, now seemed violent and the blonde in the main part of his hair had disappeared.
I don't trust that woman, she seems to give off an aura full of deceit.
Yuugi did not flinch at the voice that drifted in his mind, merely replied, I don't think she's taken with us either, we're not supposed to be making enemies and she's part of the English Ministry, we're not in a position to make her our enemy.
Whatever happened to diplomatic immunity?
We're not a diplomat Atem, we're just a professor from another country.
Oh…right. The voice of his darker half, his Yami, his previous form, the pharaoh left to lock himself away in his Soul Room to do Ra knows what. Suddenly, there was a lot of noise as people began to stand up and Yuugi suddenly realised that supper was over. Standing up he walked over to Dumbledore who showed him to his chambers where he was to stay.
Yuugi sighed heavily as he lay stretched out on the four poster bed, he was happy that the job he was employed for didn't require a lot of magic to be cast. His magic clashed horribly with that of Hogwarts and it seemed as if the castle herself was trying to push him out, as though he was a virus of some sort. The crushing feeling at his core was immense and painful but Yami helped by bearing most of the weight.
Oh well, maybe he'd be able to subdue the pain better after a good night's sleep.
