Dark Magician Yugi: Rewrite

After Yami leaves for the afterlife Yugi wakes up as a duel spirit with no memory of how he came to be that way. His rescuer is none other than Harry Potter, broken and alone from his Godfather's death. Au from 5th year on.

The darkness was never ending, and there was no semblance of any sort of life in any direction he looked in. He tried reaching for the millennium puzzle only to remember that it wasn't there and hadn't been for some time. Then how had he ended up in the shadow realm? For now that he looked again he recognized the shifting mass from the couple of times he had been in the shadow realm. Looking down though he noticed that he wasn't in his school uniform, but rather thick red armor had formed over his arms. A familiar looking staff was in his hand. With a thought, a mirror materialized in his hand. Now he knew who he was, the Red Magician, a card he had won during the battle city tournament but had never really used. Another thought brought him to a castle he could now see in the distance.

"hey Red, haven't seen you around in a while, where you been?"

The dark magician girl was standing in front of Yugi. For a second, he didn't know what to say. He could tell her that he was her master, but he didn't feel as though that were true, not with Yami gone.

"The master has never used me in battle Mana, I find myself bored. So I explore."

"Well just be careful, there are many entrances and exits in my masters shop, and you may end up anywhere."

Yugi watched her go, again considering telling his favorite card what had happened to him, and then deciding that no, whatever had happened to cause him to turn into the Red Dark Magician, he was going to enjoy it. It wasn't just that he missed Yami, although that was some of it. There was also the idea that this could be a new start for him, someplace where no one had heard of Yugi Mouto, the millenium items, or anything that had happened in the past five years.

Meanwhile...

Harry labored under the hot sun, picking the weeds from his Aunts garden and wishing that he could take a drink from the hose. Without the threat of Sirius to keep them in line the Dursleys had gone back to their ways of forcing Harry to do all of the chores as well as allowing Dudley to beat on him from the time that he was done his chores to the time he fell asleep. It was as he was pulling the last weed that he noticed a strange card in a wooden box that he was sure had not been there any of the previous times he had been in the garden. The card had the name Red Magician in English with some odd numbers and other writing in some language he could not understand. The card started to feel warm in his hand, then hot. A white light surrounded Harry and the card, and the next thing he knew there was the man on the card standing before him.

"I thank you master for releasing me from the shadow realm. What is your wish?"

Harry wondered what kind of strange dream he was having on one hand, and on the other he wondered when he would get in trouble for using magic out of school.
