Harry Potter the Deck Master GX Chapter 1
Harry Potter had finally done it, he had defeated Voldermort at the grand old age of fifteen. At the end of his second year when he had shown Dumbledore the Diary, Harry's training had started at once since the headmaster didn't want to wait around. The offer had been extended to his friends as well, however Hermione had been the only one too accept since it meant they would all have to give up whatever free time they had as well as most of the holidays. Ron hadn't wanted too do that and as such got left behind.
Both Harry and Hermione would be starting on their work and training straight away. Harry had made a request too not go back to the Dursley's because of the past abuse, which he was granted but would be able from time to time leave the castle for what he needed. Hermione had also after getting permission had invited Harry too come and stay with her for a few weeks. Dumbledore had agreed that he could but apart from those few weeks Harry spent most of his time at Hogwarts learning along with Hermione.
By the end of their fourth year they were able too take their O.W.L.s and by the end of fifth year their N.E.W.T.s. At the end of that year Voldermort had chosen too attack the school as it was he's only choice. However he never knew that he was to later too retrieve the Horcrux left at Hogwarts. The battle was brutal and long and both sides fought like men possessed many dying around them, until finally Harry was stuck down ending the war and thus the last Horcrux was destroyed.
It was in this moment when all hope had faded from the hearts of those that fought for freedom. That Harry Potter the Boy Who Lived had risen again to the surprise of all and levelled his wand at Voldermort. The whole hall watched as both fired their spells at each other, Voldermort was then shocked that his spell then backfired towards him. It was over before any one could blink with Voldermort's spell shooting back at him where it struck true. Voldermort the worst of the Dark Lords in centuries was finally defeated and Harry hailed as a hero along with Hermione.
They both had another two years at Hogwarts and the Professors all thought they would stay and work on their masters. However Harry had decided not too come back and left Hermione too make her choice. When she had asked why he was leaving early he replied with.
"Hermione my task is done and I feel that I need a change of pace. There's something that I had planned to do after Hogwarts. I'm heading off to enrol in Duel Academy as I love Duelling. I can easily study and take my masters later with no hurry; I just wanted to finally slow down for once. You however Hermione, I want you to do what you really want, whether you stay on and do your masters or if it's something else. However I could use a long vacation and you could to."
"Your right Harry, I could use a very long holiday. However I also want to do my masters tests as well. I don't know what too do to be perfectly honest and I didn't you could Duel? How long have you been doing that? Oh it's an absolute shame that we can't Duel here with the disks, however we could play the old way if you like. Since I play to, I just didn't think any one else did."
"Well Hermione I won't play the old way as you put it. Since back in third year when we started learning Runes I used them to make a Magical version of the Duel Disks, if you're interested of course?"
"What? Hang on are you telling me that you thought of something before I did?"
"Yeah I pretty much did, would you like me too go get them and bring them down for an inspection, and then head outside."
"Yes since I already have my deck on me it would be helpful."
With that Harry got up and ran out of the great hall and up to Gryffindor tower too get the magical disks. When he got them he headed straight back into the hall and pulled them out at the table before sitting down and catching every one's attention as the hall went quiet.
"So Harry these actually work as they are meant to?"
"Yep however we will need room for the monsters we play. Nothing to big about four fifths of this hall and nothing else. So a standard Magical Duelling arena is about the size that we would need."
"Well what are we waiting for then. I plan on whipping you're behind into next week."
With that they stood and attached the disks to their arms and started too head towards the great hall doors. They still didn't notice that the hall had gone quiet and had been listening to every word said and those that had heard of the game were explaining it to others that didn't and were planning on following too watch it. However they didn't get far when a voice broke out over the hall stopping every one in their tracks who were planning on going outside.
"Mr Potter and Miss Granger perhaps you could explain what you're wearing on your arms for those that don't know. At least then every one would know instead of certain young people just telling their friends."
After turning to Dumbledore when he spoke both then looked around too find interest and excitement among the students. They looked at each other before Harry started to speak.
"Well Professor they are called Duel Disks and they are used for a Muggle Card game of strategy known as Duel Monsters. However since the normal Disks are Muggle made they won't work around Hogwarts so back in third year I made these two just for the fun of it and too test out how Runes can be used for a game and both work exactly like the Muggle versions. The game itself is rather hard to explain but a player needs a deck of at least forty cards up to what a maximum number the disk can hold. Both players use these cards in order too defeat there opponent as each player has a set number of life points, once the life points reach zero it's game over and whoever has any left is the winner. Also with the game it creates life like monsters so we need a certain amount of space, just like a standard Magical Duel Arena. So we were planning on heading outside for a game since I'm not planning on returning next year for my masters, I'm planning on enrolling in Duel Academy come next year. Well if you'll excuse us we don't want the weather to change on us otherwise we won't be able to Duel."
"Well Mr Potter this game sounds very interesting. Would either of you mind playing inside as it would give all of us a chance too witness it?"
Harry looked at Hermione who just shrugged then she turned back to the head table and replied.
"We can but we would need the space for it."
"Very well Miss Granger. Would every one please stand up and move to the sides please."
When every one stood Dumbledore wave his wand and the tables vanished and the students moved to the side of the hall. Harry moved towards the head table while Hermione towards the doors as she was closer to them. When the centre of the hall was clear Dumbledore waved his wand again and a standard Duelling Platform appeared.
With that both Harry and Hermione walked up onto it with students and teachers alike moving down the sides. Naturally the Weasley twins started a betting pool that even the teachers entered. Harry and Hermione walked towards each other and handed their decks over for shuffling before handing them back and walking back to where they were before. When they were ready they put the decks into the disks and activated them.

"DUEL" both said at the same time. So the Duel started, but a long ways from finished, at least that's what Hermione thought.
