I know I haven't updated in ages, and feel rather guilty, but I do have a reason! I've been searching for a beta! I finally got one(two actually, one for the first part of the betaing process, the other as a second opinion) and am very grateful to both.

It took awhile, but I've managed to look over the content of the betaed chapter, and am happy with the result. New chapters, however, have been put on hiatus, 'cause I have a lot of schoolwork to do, after my month off school and my transfer to courses by correspondence online. I also found time to watch Bleach and keep getting the two anime mixed up, which means that my writing is suffering. Believe me, I tried to write an extra part for this chapter, and I kept messing up. It ended up being really weird. I believe that eventually I'll have time and inspiration, so that I can finally update.

On a happier note, once I manage to fix up what I did write as and addition, I'll be able to put it on this site as a side story!

So here's the first betaed chapter, although could someone please suggest a different title, 'cause this one seriously sucks. I really hope you'll like the story though.

Malik sighs: "Only you would write a story with no-name….."

Here is my Harry Potter/Yu-Gi-Oh cross-over. Enjoy!

It was a cold, dark and gloomy night in England, the frosty air nipped at whomever was unlucky enough to be outside. The moon was a silver crescent, on the verge of disappearing. In one gloomy, ominously dark cemetery, a large group of people clad in cloaks with masks covering their faces stood silently waiting for something…………

In another place, somewhere bright, beautiful and colourful, another group of people stood. They also had an air of expectancy about them, as if waiting for something they knew was about to happen………

On the other side of the world far away from these two odd gatherings, two boys, nearing manhood, lay wrapped in each other's love, entwined in mind and body. These boys were wearing sleeping clothes (boxers, if you must know) and were nearly identical in physical looks, exept for their eyes, the last color in their hair, and their height.

One boy was slight of build, rather feminine, and his features rather cherubic. He simply radiated kindness and happiness, his hair was cut into the shape of a star and his golden bangs framed his cherubic features. The rest of his hair was black with purplish-red edges. His eyes were a beautiful shade of amethyst and his name, if such a being could have one, was Yuugi.

The other boy was Yuugi's complete opposite, muscular (although it didn't show as bulk, it was simply a faint outline), masculine, and tough. He felt dark and secretive. His hair was similar to the other's, but the last color on the edges was a deep red which matched his eyes perfectly. He was called Yami by most people, which meant 'Dark' in his partner's language and his eyes were a deep and penetrating crimson. He was much older than the other boy, by about three thousand years, and his birth name was Atemu. In his time, Atemu had been the pharaoh of Egypt, and still had the air of royalty.

The younger boy looked to be around thirteen, though in reality he was nearly nineteen. He was born in Japan and had gained the title of game king in his twelfth year of school. During that time he had solved the millennium puzzle and found his 'mou hitori no boku', the other half of his soul. Together Yuugi and Yami had saved the world numerous times. Later on, at the age of fifteen, one of his enemy's/friend's sisters, Ishizu Ishtar, had discovered a spell to give Yami, his other self a body of his own, although when the red eyed man ran out of energy, he would be forced to return to the puzzle to recharge. Their friends(Ryou and Malik) also had 'Yami's', or 'Dark Souls' who could take a physical form, though they did so less often than Yami.

With a lot of help from their friends, Yuugi and Yami discovered that they liked each other (as did Ryou and Bakura, and Marik and Malik), confessed their love and got together. They discovered that the hikaris didn't age, making it necessary for Yuugi to become their personal doctor, as he had the most experience with being a hikari (a proper one, not a puppet).

So that night they were lying side by side when they felt two tugs at their magical cores. The tugs were gentle enough, but they could tell that they would become stronger as time moved on. The magic tugging at their bonds wasn't half as strong as the Shadow Realm's, but more complex.

(Yuugi's POV)

I was lying in my Yami's arms, when suddenly I felt a tug, light as a feather, but rather insistent. I opened our link and felt one from my lover's side as well.

/Yami? /

\Yes, aibou?\, Yami answered as he pulled me closer into his overly protective embrace.

/Where does this magic originate from? , I snuggled closer, enjoying the unique smell of his skin, that of the hot sun, copper, and some type of spice(A/N: as I write this, I think, "not old spice, not old spice, not old spice" I don't know how that or TAG attracts women. It smells TERRIBLE! once, when I was doing a play with my old class, we'd needed TAG for something, and some guy brought in 4 cans of the stuff. The other boys got a hold of it and sprayed it all over the changerooms. It smeeled terrible).

I felt my crimson eyed lover pause and trace the small line connecting us to whatever was pulling us towards it. He traced it so lightly that the magic wouldn't be able to feel my yami's touch, though I could.

\It originates from somewhere in England, although it's different for each of us. Your line goes east while mine is in the west.\

/So if we follow our cords we'll go to different places?/

\I think so\ Yami's mindvoice was full of concern and warning, but I pushed on in spite of it.

/I want to see where it leads myself and find out about this strange magic that is summoning us./

\I don't want to risk it aibou.\ He looked at me tenderly.

/But we can always get to each other through the Shadow realm, and besides, you're just as curious as me about this strange magic/ I hoped that I wouldn't have to fall back on my special weapon that made even the fiercest person bow to my will.

\But…\

/Please?/ I used my weapon,the puppy eyes of doom, and saw his will crumble like a cookie.

\Fine…….. but you must promise me to be careful and come to me as soon as you're done whatever it is they want you to

do!\

/Alright. And thank you!/

We both took a deep breath, preparing ourselves to be transported with the strange magic. Before we followed our individual threads, he leaned over and kissed me softly, promising that I would not be harmed if he could help it. I looked up at him and gave my yami a hug before letting go of my current location and hurtling on to find out who was silly enough to call me to be controlled, since no one could control me. I landed and took a moment to gather my bearings and then...

That ends the first betaed chapter!
