It was a bright and sunny day in Domino, Japan. Everyone was out working. But one window's drapes were pulled so that no light could enter the room. Yugi Motou was still asleep. So was his spirit, Yami. Suddenly the drapes were pulled open. Yugi's Grandpa was standing there with a bright smile on his face.
"Wake up! It's a another beautiful day."
"Grandpa, it's still summer vacation. Why do I have to get up?" Yugi mumbled.
"Because you promised to meet Marik, Bakura, and their Yamis at the Arcade at 10:00." Grandpa answered.
"Yikes! What time is it?" Yugi squeaked.
"9:30."
Yugi immediately jumped up. Grandpa chuckled and went downstairs to get some coffee. Yugi took a shower and started to get his blue coat on when he heard snoring. Coming from inside his head. Oh, no! He'd forgotten to get Yami up!
'YAMI! Wake up, or we'll be late!' He said through his mind link.
'Huh? Wazzat?' Came the groggy voice of Yami.
'WAKE UP NOW!' Yugi screamed. Yami appeared beside Yugi.
"Alright, I'm up." He said out loud.
"Good." Yugi replied. Then they heard a frightened yell from downstairs.
"Grandpa!" They both exclaimed in unison and ran down to the kitchen. They arrived just in time to see an owl fly out the window! Grandpa had fallen out of his seat. They helped him up and asked him what happened.
"I was sitting down here, reading the newspaper and that owl swooped in and dropped a letter on the table!" Yugi looked at the letter. It was made out of a yellowish paper and written in green ink.

Yugi gasped. How could they know where he sleeps?
"What is it aibou?" Yami asked. Yugi showed him the letter. Yami's eyes widened.
"Let's open it." Yugi suggested. Yami nodded and opened it.
Dear Mr. Motou,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of necessary books and equipment. There will be a new elective this year: Ancient Egyptian Magic.
Term begins September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
PS: We are aware that you are older than the standard age of first years. You will start in sixth year. You will have to come to London to ride the Hogwarts Express.
"Do you suppose that this is one of the tomb robber's tricks?" asked Yami
"If it is, he's certainly outdone himself." said Yugi
"I suppose you'll find out when you get to the Arcade." Grandpa said thoughtfully.
"Oh, no!" gasped Yugi. He had glanced at the clock. It read 9:58. Yugi bolted out with the letter in his hands, Yami close behind him. When they got to the Arcade they saw Marik, Yami Marik, Bakura, Yami Bakura, Kaiba, and Mokuba.Yugi and Yami ran up to them. They were obviously arguing.
"Well I didn't do it!"
"Neither did I!"
"Listen you dweebs, Someone did this and it certainly wasn't ME."
"Are you calling my hikari a dweeb Kaiba?!"
"Why yes I am."
"Hey guys, what's up?" Yugi called. They all turned.
"Oh goodie. Now the Pharaoh's here." Sneered Y. Bakura.
"Let me guess, you just got a letter that was delivered by an owl inviting you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Asked Yami, eyeing the yellowish letters in their hands.
"Yes." They all said in surprise.
"So did we." Said Yugi.
"Do you suppose that these crackpots are serious?" asked Kaiba.
"Maybe," Marik said slowly, "This is a trap."
"Naw, they wouldn't be this forward. Believe me I know." Said Y. Marik.
"Yes, we are aware of that fact." Said Bakura.
"Can we go Seto? Please, please, please?" whined Mokuba.
"Fine." Replied Kaiba. "I suppose we'll have to take the geek squad too."
