I Do Not Own Yu-Gi-Oh and Harry Potter!
Chapter One
12 Grimmauld Place
Grimmauld Place Street was empty on that warm summer's night, while its resident slept tucked safely away in their homes. The midnight hour left the street bare of any life expect the crickets singing their songs and the flicker of a street light here and there. It was across the street from the neatly built rowhouses that two figures emerged out of seemingly nowhere wrapped in cloaks of midnight black to conceal their identities. There was a pause as they took in their surroundings before the smaller of the two waved his hand and the street lights dimmed just enough to give them some cover. It was only then that they moved swiftly across the street and stopped outside number eleven and thirteen Grimmauld Place.
"Do you think we're in the right place?" The taller of the two spoke softly to his partner as he looked between the two houses. There were no lights on in either building meaning either no one lived there or the owners were out or in bed.
"It's gotten be, remember the letter, just think about the address we were given," This was the only reply that was spoken before they both drifted quiet.
At first it seemed like nothing was going to happen and they looked silly for just standing there in the middle of the night looking for a place that did not appear to exist. That was until before their very eyes a battered door began to emerge between numbers eleven and thirteen. Following that were stairs leading up to the door and windows revealing the missing house they had been looking for.
The two watched as the new house fit right in with all the others as if it had been there all along. They looked at each other before looking back at the new place in front of them. The shorter of the two was the first to walk forward and make his way up the stairs with his partner following behind. He muttered something under his breath causing the clicking sound of something unlocking to reach their ears. With the door now unlocked he reached forward and opened the door without a problem.
Neither knew what awaited them inside, but they had been sent there for a reason and if they wanted answers they would have trust the ones that sent them there. So it was with that in mind that the two hurried in closing the door behind them. Once inside they were however hit with damp, dust, and rotting smells coming from the old place. It looked as if the place hadn't been lived in for years as it had not been taking care of at all. The hallway they stood in looked aged beyond its years with wallpaper peeling off the walls, the floor caked with dust so thick that they would leave footprints when they walked, and portraits hanging on one side of the long hallway which were barely still hanging on the walls. There was no way to tell what those portraits had once been as the pictures were too decayed.
"Where the hell are we?" The smaller of the two asked to really no one since he knew his partner wouldn't know. He reached up and dropped the hood from around his head revealing a baby faced teen with slightly tan skin from days in the sun, beautiful bright amethyst eyes, and a wild head of hair that was two tones in color. It consisted of long blond cooked, pointy locks for the fringe while the rest was set into five large spikes colored raven black.
His partner also removed his hood revealing a handsome chiseled face with tan skin although his was much darker. He also had piercing crimson eyes, and a wild head of hair that was three tones in color. Unlike his partner his hair consisted of long blond cooked, pointy locks for the fringe with a few traveling back into his raven locks like lightning bolts and the rest was set into five large spikes with a crimson sheen along the edges.
Before the other could reply they heard voices just down the hall behind a closed door. It was easy to tell what they were saying as the two voices seemed to be arguing with each other or at least in some sort of disagreement.
"I told you already that I have this covered!"
"So you trying to say I can't cook?!"
"Of course not…"
"Yes you are Padfoot and I'll have you know that the whole time you were locked up in that godforsaken place I was able to cook and feed myself."
"And how many times did you eat out?"
There was silence to that last statement which nearly caused the smaller male at the door to chuckle. It appears they were at it again, but it was at least nice to know they were in the right place. Without waiting for an invitation, he started down the long hallway to the door straight ahead of him. When he opened the door he was not surprised to find both his parents in some sort of glaring contest.
The room he had entered was a rather small kitchen and dining area. The long table in the middle of the room took up most of the room and looked as if it could fit at least a dozen people. Cabinets and rather old appliances lined the walls and the only source of light came from the single light bulb that hung just above the table. Some candles had been set in various places on the counter tops to give more light.
However the funny sight before the two males was of the other two males standing in front of the stove. The infamous Sirius Black stood with an old fashion apron tied around his waist and a wooden ladle in his hand looking like he was ready to pop someone with it. His slightly curly black hair had been pulled back into a low ponytail to keep it out of his way given how long it had gotten. He was still supporting a goatee, but it had been trimmed up nicely since anyone had seen him. His sterling gray eyes were alight with fire as he dealt with the challenge set before him.
That challenge was none other than his spouse, Remus Lupin, who looked more than determined to help with the cooking. He was looking good still to their relief since the full moon was not too long ago. His dark and light brown hair had been trimmed up, but still stuck up in a few places. His mustache was gone and they could admit it made him look a lot younger without it. It gave his face back that youthful look and mostly likely Sirius was the one to talk him into getting rid of it. Dark green eyes were set in a glare as he tried to defeat his opponent in the glaring contest.
It wasn't until someone cleared their throat that the two broke eye contact and looked toward who had walked in on them during their little spat. Their eyes widen and they quickly straight themselves to look presentable to their guests.
Sirius was the first one to use a simple spell to have the ladle that was once in his hand go flying back toward the pot on the ancient looking stove. The ladle went right to work stirring whatever was in the pot without any problems. With that taken care of he approached the two with his arms opened, "Yuugi, we didn't except you until the morning."
Yuugi had no problem approaching him and welcoming the hug that was given to him, "You sounded like you really wanted us here so we came as soon as we could." He pulled back from his father as his papa approached next and gave him a hug. "I was hoping we had gotten the address right. This place isn't easy to find."
Sirius smirked at that, "Well its makes the perfect hideout…" He dragged his son's partner away from the door way to join them in their little family reunion, "So what's it been like being married? Moony and I haven't heard from you two in a while."
"I can't tell a difference since we had already been living together." The youngest of the group smiled up at his husband, "Pretty much after the honeymoon, Yami and I just wanted to do a little more traveling not really wanting to settle down anywhere. We were just spending a few weeks with Yami's parents when we got your letter."
"It's so hard to stay in touch with the ministry breathing down your necks," Yami commented off handed as they all slowly moved toward the table. Yuugi and Yami took a seat on one side while Remus and Sirius moved to seat across from them.
"They haven't been giving you trouble have they?" Remus asked in concern before Sirius could go into some rant about the pigs that worked at the ministry. They did have some friends who worked there. "We haven't heard or seen much of them, but of course it's hard to even go outside with a husband who is a wanted criminal."
Yuugi shook his head, "Nah, we've been careful and if we think someone is watching us we have moved to new locations. A few charms here and there to help mask our identities can do wonders. If only they didn't know I could turn into a wolf, I would just live in that form."
"You could always change your fur color," Sirius told him in all honesty. Remus however gave him this look that meant that he should keep his mouth shut.
"I'd rather not," Yuugi said with a chuckle, "I might end up pink if the spell goes wrong."
Yami tried to hold in his own chuckle, but was failing, "Oh that would be a sight alright."
In the end they all ended up getting a good laugh out of picturing Yuugi as a pink wolf. It was only when they calmed back down that the seriousness came back as Yuugi recalled why they had been summoned there. He reached into his robes to pull out the letter that he had gotten from his parents.
As he placed it on the table all eyes turned to Yuugi as he asked, "Could you tell us truthfully why we were asked to come here?"
Sirius and Remus looked at each other and there seemed to be some silent agreement between the two as Sirius got up to fetch the food so they could talk over a warm meal. It was a bit late to be eating, but a midnight snack never hurt anyone. He was quick to conjure four bowls and fill them with soup before sending them to the table where they carefully were placed in front of each person. Only when Sirius returned to his seat did the silent end.
"Yuugi, we didn't say much in the letter because there was no telling who might have gotten their hands on it. Remus and I just both knew that we needed to get the two of you here and as quick as possible." The way he spoke confused Yuugi greatly, it made him feel like he would have been in danger if he hadn't arrived there.
"What could be so bad that you wanted me here?" Yuugi asked hoping for an honest answer. He was eighteen years old now and considered an adult in the wizarding world so he wanted people to stop babying him.
There was a sigh from Remus as he crossed his arms and rested them on the table. He looked down at his soup as he said, "First off we want to know if you remembered the Tri-wizard Tournament that was being held at Hogwarts…"
Yuugi nodded, "I recall you telling me something about it and that Harry had gotten involved. I haven't been able to keep in touch with what has been going on at the school."
"Well Harry was involved and it became pretty obvious that someone put his name in the cup knowing he would be picked." Sirius went on to explain to him, "Everything seemed alright at first and before you start to worry Harry is okay, but something happened at the end of the tournament that affects us all."
"What is it?" Yuugi could tell they wanted so badly not to say it, but something about the look in their eyes was telling him that it wasn't good news. "You know how I don't like secrets. If this involves all of us I want to know."
There was another silent exchange between Yuugi's parents as they looked at each other again, but Sirius finally said the words they all didn't want to hear. "Voldermort is back…"
At first there was silence from everyone at the table after that statement as both Yuugi and Yami processed what they had just been told. Had it been anyone else they might have not been inclined to not believe it, because Voldermort had died, hadn't he?
"Wait what?" Yami was the first one to break the silence, "I haven't heard anything about this in the paper. How can you be so sure that he is back?"
Sirius's barks of laughter threw both Yuugi and Yami for a loop and caused Remus to glare at his husband. Once the older male calmed down, he looked Yami square in the eye and said, "Do you really believe the ministry would announce that Voldermort is back? Hell they didn't even believe Harry and Dumbledore when they told them the truth. It was plain as day right in their faces and as always it goes on death's ears."
"Dad," Yuugi spoke up catching his father's attention, "How do you know for sure he is back? What happened at Hogwarts to change all this?"
"The tournament had been a trap," Remus replied before Sirius could pulling attention toward him, "Someone put Harry's name in the cup knowing he would make it through to the end. That someone had been one of Voldermort's followers by the name of Bartemius Crouch Jr but he had disguised himself as a friend of Dumbledore's. The friend was Alastor Moody and he had been hired by Dumbledore to start as the new Dark Arts professor. No one knows as of yet how it happened, but Barty was able to capture and hold Moody hostage while Barty himself used polyjuice potion to change himself into Moody."
Yuugi was starting to catch on now, "So with this Barty pretending to be Moody, he put Harry's name in the cup and what helped him through the tournament?"
Sirius nodded, "He didn't out right help him, but he worked it in ways so that Harry stayed alive to the very end. The tournament is only meant for older wizards with plenty of knowledge under their belt to be able to survive. Harry was only fourteen and shouldn't have been able to enter."
"Sirius and I were furious when we found out, but Dumbledore's hands were tied and he couldn't do anything to get Harry out of it." Remus said with a defeated sigh, "If only we had tried harder none of this would be happening."
Sirius reached out to pat his lover on the back, "What's done is done and nothing can change that…." He turned his attention back to the other two who were still waiting to hear what else had happened, "From what Dumbledore was able to tell us was that during the end of the tournament when both Harry and a Hufflepuff by the name of Cedric reached the tournament cup attempting to win the championship for Hogwarts against the other schools, it transported the both of them to some sort of graveyard. It was there that Voldermort's followers were waiting for them in order to perform a ritual. Cedric was killed trying to fight them while Harry was tied up and forced to give some of his blood for the ritual."
"Thus bringing Voldermort back alive…" Yuugi pretty much summed it up wishing now that he had been at Hogwarts to prevent this. "If only I had been there I could have protected Harry."
Remus shook his head, "It wouldn't have been safe for you since just like Voldermort wants Harry, he also wants you. Harry was lucky to have made it back alive once Voldermort was back. This happened a few days ago and once we heard the news we knew we needed to get the two of you here. It won't take long before Voldermort sends his followers out to start doing his dirty work."
"How do you truly know he is back? I do trust Dumbledore and Harry, but what are the signs that have you believing but not the ministry?" Yami asked, he never did like the ministry, but the people did have the right to know the truth. So he just wanted to know what was keeping the ministry from putting it out there in the open for the people to know.
"I understand where you are coming from," Sirius explained, "Everyone does want to see the proof and there is some but the ministry is too blind to see it. They have never liked Dumbledore to begin with so unless they were to physical see Voldermort alive and well right in front of their faces, they won't listen to the truth or care about any other evidence."
"Besides the activity of the few followers Voldermort has right now, the only physical proof we have that he is back is the Dark Mark the followers all have." Remus took over explaining, "The Mark is a tattoo on the left forearm of the followers and was only but a scar until the day he came back when it turned jet black once again. We know this because of Barty who has one himself. Other than that we only have the word from Harry who was there and the dead body of Cedric. More than likely the ministry will just write off Cedric's death as an accident during the tournament."
"Bunch of old bastards is what they are…." Yuugi commented about the people at the ministry causing his father to laugh again while his papa turned a glare to him. He shrugged since he was an adult now and could say and do what he wanted. He never liked the ministry minus Yami's parents who were just plain awesome. More than anything he wished he could help them out and get them better jobs, but according to Yami they were happy.
Sirius wiped his eye of the stray tear from laughing too much and grinned at his son, "You certainly have the black family blood running through your veins."
"Are we sure that's a good thing?" Remus asked off handed since it seemed his husband was certainly rubbing off on their son. He loved Yuugi more than anything, but sometimes he wished Yuugi might have taken after him just a little bit more.
"Sure it is," Sirius replied, before adding, "At least he got your smarts."
Remus allowed a small smile to come to his face, "I have to agree with you there."
Seeing the two of the together like that always filled Yuugi's heart with joy. The last time they had all been together under good turns was months ago during his and Yami's small wedding. Even though it was under different reasons now, Yuugi was glad to be back with his parents. "So what is this place?" He felt brave enough to ask.
Now that the conversation had shifted the tension in the air started to fade as they started to relax and eat. However what Sirius had to say to Yuugi's question came as a shock to the young couple as he replied with, "This so happens to be your grandparent's house, Yuugi."
Sakura: This short introduction chapter took two weeks for me to type! It was driving me nuts, but I was determined to get it done and here it finally is. The rest of this story shouldn't be that hard to write and I'm hoping to be able to post a chapter once a week. More than likely I will update on Fridays but it may vary depending on what is happening that week.
Oh and as this story continues on if something I use in this story from Harry Potter doesn't sound right, just please remember this is fanfiction and I'll be changing some things in order to fit into my story.
Next Time: Yuugi learns a little more about his past with Grimmauld place and an unexpected visitor shows up.
