I don't even...I just...I wanted to do something fun. This was fun. It involves two of my favourite OCs (just...WAT?) hanging out with Yami Bakura and Seto Kaiba. No way in hell is there any romance, so if you're here for that...prepare to laugh your ass off anyways. Please enjoy this! (By the way, only this first chappy mentions Hogwarts and whatnot. This ain't no cross-over, after all).
There they were: on the Hogwarts Express.
There they were: two odd little girls.
...Well, they were both short.
One of them, a very skinny girl with a tendency to where dark clothing and lots of make-up, dark-brown hair, very pale skin and light brown eyes, tapped her foot as they stood in the isle of the train. "Where the hell are we supposed sit?" She demanded at the elder (yet shorter) girl.
The other, a girl also with a tendency to dress in dark clothes, dark brown hair in a ponytail and dark brown eyes hidden behind oval glasses shrugged. "I dunno, Sadee," she replied. "I can't find anyplace on this damned train to sit but who cares?" The girl's eyes sparkled in delight. "WE'RE ON A STEAM-TRAIN!" The girl dashed away, laughing manically all the way.
'Sadee' shook her head in disbelief. "God-dammit, Laura..." She began following the small (and slightly chubby) girl in a much more sedate pace.
'Laura' flew through the train cars, causing many heads to turn in her direction (mostly because she was babbling in tongues). Sadee followed and tried to avoid the stares.
*Oh god why does she always have to do this?* she thought.
Somewhere near the rear of the train, Laura had stopped in front of one of the compartments. She turned to Sadee and waved her over. "Come on!" She called, cupping her hands around her mouth. "I don't hear anyone in there; I think it's free!"
Sadee sighed and walked up to Laura. "Well, did you check first?" she asked.
Laura shook her head. "That is what I shall do now!" She opened the door...
...to see Seto Kaiba and Bakura sitting across from each-other.
Laura and Sadee just stared.
And stared.
The boys stared back.
Sadee lifted up a hand. "Hi."
Laura poked her head into the compartment. "Um, could we join you?" She asked. "Everywhere else is full."
Bakura sighed. "Let me guess," he grumbled in distaste. "Fan-girls?"
The girls seemed taken aback. Kaiba seemed very interested in the passing scenery.
"We are not fan-girls," replied Sadee. She pointed at Laura. "She's close, but she'll deny it."
Laura narrowed her eyes at Sadee. "Shut. Up. Or I will make you immortal!"
Sadee stuck her tongue out at her.
"So what exactly are you?" Bakura asked suspiciously. "You're not Mary-Sues, are you?"
Laura glared at him. "Oh hell no," she said. "That was cruel."
"We're more like self-inserts," added Sadee.
Bakura sighed. "Well, I suppose that as long as you're not fan-girls you may as well sit."
Laura smiled and stepped inside, sitting as far away from the boys as possible. The little girl can be awkward sometimes.
Sadee slapped the back of her head. "Stop being such a shy little fan-girl," she snapped as she sat next to Bakura. Laura glared back. "I'm not a fan-girl," she growled. "I'm a fan-boy."
Kaiba's head snapped around. "Wait, fan...boy?" He asked in confusion.
"Aren't you...female?" Asked Bakura cautiously.
Laura bobbed her head. "Yeah. At least, I was the last time I checked."
Bakura sighed. "What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?"
Sadee shook her head. "Well...she's not obsessed with a particular guy from fiction (so she says), but she's a vidya-game freak."
The boys gave her blank stares. Kaiba cleared his throat. "And...that makes her a fan-boy?"
Laura shrugged. "Hey, I'm not the one who came up with the term. I've always been called a fan-boy."
The boys left that where it was.
Bakura sighed. "So, why are you here, anyways?"
Sadee shrugged. "Why do you think? I was given an excuse to get away from my family and I took it."
Laura grinned. "We got the letters and what-not. I don't get it; we're both 16, it makes no sense, but ya know what? We're going to Hogwarts! I'm happy."
Sadee groaned. "You're always happy," she said. "It gives me head-aches."
Seto turned to look out the window again.
"What is the point of this whole thing, anyways?" He asked in a bored tone. "We've all gotten letters to this school for 'magic' and what-have-you, and apparently after many others would have gotten letters. Plus, why a school in Britain? Wouldn't there be 'magic' schools in our own countries?"
Laura shrugged. "The authoress wanted an ice-breaker. And she needed a reason to describe Sadee and I, seeing as she normally skimps on details like that."
Bakura sighed. "What, she needed an excuse to put us together so that we would be familiar with each-other?" He asked. "Are we even going to be at that school for any extended period?"
Sadee shrugged. "I doubt it."
Laura nodded. "Yeah, I don't think we are."
Bakura sighed, then glared to the left. "And how many time is she going to say 'Bakura sighed'?" He growled. "It's getting quite annoying."
"That's probably the point," muttered Kaiba, scowling out the window.
Laura shrugged. "I dunno. Mayhaps."
Then a plump old 'witch' began calling out to the compartments that she had sweets for sale. Laura and Bakura's bellies made loud grumbling sounds at the thought of food and Sadee's made a tiny little hiccup-like sound.
Laura frowned. "I'm broke...I spent all of my money at Weasley Wizard Weases and Flourish and Blotts.."
Sadee shrugged. "I got nothin'. I spent it all at Apothecary."
Bakura sighed (and glared to the left again). "And I spent all of my money in Knockturn Alley..."
They turned to look at Kaiba, whose stomach also seemed to be making the noises of hunger. He caught their stares and sighed. "Let me guess," he began. "Just because I'm the only one that didn't spend their money on joke-shop items, books, potion ingredients, and whatever questionable items there are in Knockturn Alley, I should pay for you all to eat?"
"No," replied Bakura. "You should pay for us because you are rich."
Kaiba tutted in disgust and called the trolley-lady over. He bought a large number of Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, some licorice wands, chocolate frogs, sugar quills, and a number of other odd things. He glared at the other three. "I didn't buy any of this for you," he said. "But I suppose you could have whatever is left over."
Bakura rolled his eyes at Sadee. "He seems to enjoy flaunting his money at any opportunity," he stage-whispered. Sadee chuckled. Kaiba ate a few of the confections he had purchased, forcing the other three watch as he ate before he gave up any of the other food. Laura immediately began to tear open a package of Bertie-Botts Every Flavoured Beans. She held out a handful. "Anyone dare to try?" She said with a smirk.
The others looked at her hand suspiciously. "Do they really mean every flavour?" Asked Kaiba.
Laura nodded. "Yep."
Sadee grinned. "Here, lemme try one of those." She picked up a small grey-white bean and popped it into her mouth.
And began to gag.
"What was it?" Laura asked, holding back a chuckle. Or two.
Sadee gagged some more and shuddered in disgust. "I don't know but I think it was rotting fish..." she groaned.
Nobody would touch the beans after that, and they sat in relative silence until the train arrived at Hogsmeade station.

"...and now, after this initial sorting, I'd like to welcome four new students that have been brought here under rather unusual circumstances," Dumbledore was saying. "I hope that, whichever house that they may land in, they are treated with the same kindness and respect as you would treat your other house-mates."
Laura looked about the Great-Hall in awe. "Sadee," she hissed, tugging on the sleeve of the other girl's robe. "This place is amazing! So...so much..." The small girl drifted off into a dreamy state.
Sadee shook the girl. "Stay awake; we're about to be sorted."
Professor McGonagall unfolded a small piece of parchment and cleared her throat. "Bakura, Ryou!" She called.
Bakura grumbled. "Of course I'm the first one to face the humiliation..."
He sat upon the three-legged stool and McGonagall lowered the hat to his head.
The tear in the hat that was it's mouth opened, and the hat called out:
"THE FIFTH HOUSE OF OSIRIS!"
Laura removed her glasses so that she could face-palm properly. The then glared at...uh, me.
"Come on!" She yelled at...me... "Could you be any more cliche? Fifth house? Drache!"
Um...I shrugged back at her. "What can you do about it? You are my characters and this is my story; I can do with it whatever I damn-well please."
Laura shut her mouth and glared.
McGonagall tsked. "If you're all quite done," she said.
"Sorry," I called out.
She shook her head and muttered something about 'breaking the fourth wall'. "We're going to need another table," she stated. "Mr. Filch, if you would please go and fetch the small round table for our fifth house?"
Filch muttered darkly under his breath and walked away.
McGonagall cleared her throat again and looked at the paper. "Kaiba, Seto!" She called.
Kaiba walked slowly towards the stool and glared at it. He seemed to be debating whether or not he should complain about the damned thing. You could almost see the gears grinding in his mind as he went back and forth on this decision, and-
He shot me a glare. "Get one with it," he hissed.
Sheesh. Fine...
Kaiba finally decided that it would be best if he sat down (seeing as poor Professor McGonagall would never have been able to reach his head otherwise) and the professor carefully placed the hat upon his head.
Once again, the hat called out "OSIRIS!"
Laura looked ready to complain again, but I shot her a glare and she shut her mouth.
I think I'll take this time to just skip the sorting, as you probably all know that all four of them had been sorted into the Fifth House of Osiris. They all sat at a round table placed dead-center in the dining hall. They sat in this order: Bakura, Kaiba, Laura, and Mercedes (um, Sadee). They sat and 'patiently' waited for supper to begin.
When suddenly, the food appeared on the table.
Kaiba seemed ruffled by the sudden appearance of the food. "Where did it come from?" He asked as he suspiciously poked at the steak-and-kidney pie. "Was it sent up through a new kind of technology?"
Laura and Sadee shared a look and laughed. "Uh-uh, Seto," Laura said, ignoring the annoyed look he gave her when she used his given name. "House-elves cooked the food in the dungeons below and placed all of it on tables that are exactly the same as the ones up here. When it's time for us to eat, the food is sent up by magic."
Kaiba gave her a look that told her exactly how stupid that sounded to him. "I suppose I'm supposed to believe that, right?"
Mercedes sighed. "It may sound silly, but she's telling the truth, Seto."
Bakura seemed to be entirely unconcerned as to how the food got to the table and proceeded to scoop large spoonfuls of blood-pudding onto his plate.
After the final traces of food had magically dissipated into thin air, Dumbledore stood to address the students. "Well, now that we have all been fed and watered," he began. "I have a few things I'd like to announce before I send you all off to be-"
He was interrupted by the doors of the Great-Hall swinging open. A tall man with long, silver-white hair wearing a red suit walked in.
"I'm terribly sorry I'm late," said Pegasus. "You wouldn't believe the trouble I had to go through to get here."
"Ah," Said Dumbledore. "It appears that one of the important things that I had wished to inform you of has appeared- albeit late. May I all introduce you to Professor Pegasus J. Crawford, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
The students at the Osiris table stood up simultaneously.
"I'm out," called Sadee, who quickly walked out of the hall.
Laura followed her. "Same here."
Kaiba scowled and followed suit.
Bakura sighed (and glared again). But he followed the other three.
Once out of the castle, the four exchanged looks.
Kaiba took a breath. "I don't care how much the damned authoress wants this to continue on, but there's now way in hell I'm staying in the same castle as that man."
Sadee shuddered in disgust. "I know," she said. "That man...he's just...ugh."
Laura looked out at the lake. "I agree whole-heartedly," she said. She looked up sadly at the castle. "But...I wish we could've stayed. No matter how cliched the story would've ended up being."
I glared down at Laura and she glared back. "What, it's true!" She yelled.
Bakura tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Laura...you said something on the train about spending most of your money at the joke-shop, right?" He asked.
She nodded slowly, then a grin began to form on her face as she realized what he was implying. "Oh, so I suppose you'd like to have a little fun before we go?" She asked.
Bakura smirked. "Why, of course," he said.
Sadee smirked. "Laura, just what did you get at the Weasley shop...?" She asked.
Laura shuffled around in her pack for a moment, showing all of her teeth in a manic grin.
"Just the right combination of items to make the Weasley twins proud."
Kaiba tilted his head to the side. "And what kind of combination would that be?" He asked, curious in spite of his indifferent nature.
The grin on Laura's face was so broad it was surprising that her head didn't just split in half. "Well, Seto," she began. "I think you'll actually enjoy this; you see, it involves a multitude of fireworks that fly about in the shape of dragons..."
