Zypher: Blech! This is what I get for not reading the Harry Potter books and watching only the movies so if there's any changes I need to make, tell me so in your reviews even though most of the chapter may not be too accurate anyway. But anyways, I'm glad that those that reviewed enjoyed it. So here's the next chapter to Ode of Magic for you all.

Ode of Magic

Chapter 2

They soon reached their location and Yugi was already asleep during the ride there. Not wanting to wake him, Diamond picked him up and with Hermione's help, took his bags along with hers and left off the train. They met up with the others and soon left for the carriages.

Not far away did Malfoy and the others got off the train. "So, what do we have planned for this year?" Draco asked, looking to them. "I have my own target to aim for. You can go ahead and mess with the Gryffindorks all you want." Bakura said, watching Ryou from his spot but made it discreet so they wouldn't notice. Draco only shrugged his shoulders before they continued on their way to the carriages.

When they came up to the carriages, they were in awe to see nothing pulling them and yet saw the harnesses hovering in the air as if something was there. "Hey Hermione, is there anything there that pull the carriages?" Diamond asked, shifting Yugi weight slightly so she wouldn't wake him.

"Yes, they are called thestrals but they can only been seen if you have seen someone die. If not then they will always appear invisible." Hermione explained as they got into the carriages. Diamond sat Yugi on her lap and looked to the door when she heard someone else come in as well.

The two cloaked figures sat down on the other side and Hermione watched them curiously before turning her gaze back to Diamond, talking with her during the ride to the boats.

Once they reached the school, Diamond woke up Yugi and let him walk the rest of the way to the dining hall. They were led over to the Gryffindor table until they were given their house and looked up when Dumbledore called for their attention. "Welcome all to another year of school. I hope you all have enjoyed your break and will be ready and able to learn new spells and techniques for the year.

"Today is a special occasion. Not only do we have new students but we also have a new DADA teacher. Please give a warm welcome to Keara." Dumbledore said as Keara stood up and many clapped their greeting for the new DADA teacher.

"And now, let's bring our attention to our new students. Yugi Motou, Diamond Rose, Malik Ishtar, Jounouchi Katsuya, Topaz Rouker, Kaiser Kasiya and Ryou Tindum." he said and they stood, bowing before the other student before sitting. "Now, we shall sort you in your houses with help of the sorting hat." he said, presenting the hat to them. "Malik, you shall go first." Dumbledore called and he got up, walking up to dais and sat down on the stool as Dumbledore place the hat on his head.

/Hmm, a troublemaker I see. Very cunning and secretive. You would be great in Slytherin but you also have a underlying protection for your friends and wish for them to not get hurt and that overpowers all Slytherin traits so you shall be in.../ The sorting hat spoke to him before speaking out loud.

"GRYFFINDOR!" he said and the people at the Gryffindor cheered to have him there and he smiled as Dumbledore took the hat and called for Ryou next. Malik was unaware of one of the Slytherin students watching him, snorting lightly when he heard he was in Gryffindor. He walked up shyly, looking to the many students and thought he spotted one watching him but as he took a glance over again, he didn't see anyone watching him so intensively. He placed the hat on his head and the hat pondered.

/Yes, you are very just and loyal. A perfect candidate for Hufflepuff but like your friend, you have a inner courage and want to protect your friends. You shall be perfect for.../

"GRYFFINDOR!" he spoke once more and he left once the hat was off his head and Diamond was called up next. /Ah yes, you have a lot of courage and very daring as well. You are perfect for Gryffindor and that is where you shall be./ he said before speaking out once more. "GRYFFINDOR!" She smiled and thanked the sorting hat before leaving back over to the table.

Crimson snorted. "Hmm, that's too bad. I was hoping she would be in another house so it would be easier but I think I'll take the challenge." Crimson murmured, looking over to Bakura. "What about you? Up to the challenge of swooning the boy's heart even if we are in rival houses?"

Bakura smirked and nodded. "But of course. Ryou is a very pretty boy and could catch many glances from girls and boys alike and I'm not letting him be taken by any other." Bakura said. Kaiser went up next, catching Ruby's attention and he stayed silent as he watched him. /Ah, wit and the will to learn. Perfect for Ravenclaw and yet you have a lot of courage. So many choices to take./ he spoke.

"Please, let me be in Gryffindor. I want to stick by my friends."

/And so you shall./

"GRYFFINDOR!" Kaiser smiled as he got up and removed the hat, handing it to Dumbledore before leaving back over to the table and Topaz walked up when he was called. /Ah, you are just like the first. Cunning and a troublemaker. I should place you in Slytherin.../ he said and Topaz's eyes widened.

"Please, I wish to be with my friends!"

/And an exception shall be made since you care for your friends' safety strongly than to cause trouble./

"GRYFFINDOR!" Topaz sighed as he got back up and headed over to the table, much to the displeasure of Toben who was smitten when he saw Topaz. 'But I won't give up so easily. He will be mine.' he thought. Jou went up next and was sent to Gryffindor as well and Yugi finally went up.

/Ah, young Yugi. You are a fine candidate for Gryffindor and that is where you shall be but heed my warning that you and your friends will soon be part of a mystery that has long been dormant for many years./ The hat spoke.

"What do you mean?"

/You will soon learn of it yourself but for now, you shall go your new house./

"GRYFFINDOR!" he said and Yugi got up, giving the hat Dumbledore before heading back to the table and Jou embraced him in a big hug. "Glad you're here as well, Yugi!" Jou said before seeing his look. "What's wrong?" he asked. "The sorting hat told me that we will become part of a mystery that has been dormant. I'm a little worried now. What if one of us gets hurt?" Yugi said, looking to them.

"I'm sure nothing will happen that will get us hurt, Yugi. We're here for one another and since we're all in the same house, we have a better chance of watching over each other." Kaiser said. "And we'll be here to help. We already been through weirder things while here so this may be exception." Hermione said. "Yeah and hopefully this won't deal with us get mauled, ripped to shreds or have the life squeezed out of us." Ron grumbled and Hermione elbowed him again. "Now, let the feast begin!" Dumbledore said before he went to sit back at the table.

While there were eating, the two cloaked figures came to sit at the table and Seto looked up. "So, you two finally came. Wondering if you we're planning to even come this year." Seto said and one removed his hood, revealing a teen that almost looked like Yugi except with more blond streak in his hair, sharper features and alluring crimson eyes. "Of course we were coming. The one we have waited for has finally arrived and we weren't going to lose this chance." Yami said. Seto only nodded, taking another bite of his food.

Draco was talking with Marik and Crimson, mostly about the new students. "So, what do you think of them? I for one say that at least that Malik and Topaz kid should've been in Slytherin." Draco said. "We agree on that but you know that sorting hat. Its always finding some other trait in someone that could possibly make them join another house. If it wasn't for that, I'm sure they all probably would be placed in different houses except for the Motou kid and the girl." Crimson said.

He only huffed and then thought of something devious. "I have an idea, why don't we socialize with Malik and Topaz. Since they were potential Slytherin students, maybe we could talk about this to Prof. Snape and see if he can switch them to our house." Draco said. "Yeah, you have a plan there but it may be hard since the Gryffindor Golden Boy and his friends may try to keep us from even talking with them." Marik said. "Don't worry, I'm sure we can sneak around them. We're cunning and I know we'll be able to slip by them." They nodded, turning back to look over to Malik and Topaz.

'Soon, Malik, we'll meet and hopefully we'll get you into the Slytherin house so it will make my chances a little easier.' Marik thought before turning back to his plate and eating his food.

They soon were all led to their dormitories, Jou making a complaint about the shifting staircases. Once they were in the Gryffindor common room, they started to place their things away before sitting in there and talking about their classes.

"Lets see. I have Tranfigurations, then Potions, Herbology, DADA, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures and Flying Lessons." Yugi said. "Wow, you have some good classes though you might hate Potions." Harry said.

"Why's that?" he questioned.

"Because of the teacher. Prof. Snape teaches Potions and he favors the Slytherin house more than anything and takes a bunch of points from Gryffindor for even the simplest of things." Ron explained. "Ouch. I wonder why he hates Gryffindor so much." Kaiser said as he looked over his classes.

"Probably because of the slight rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor. There is no way, no how that Gryffindor could get along with Slytherin. The best example is Malfoy and his rivalry with Harry." Hermione said.

"Well, then I suggest you be wary of what you do in there, Yugi. I have a class in Potions at the same time with you and so does Jou so we'll be there to help you out." Diamond said with a smile.

"So, what classes do you have Malik?" Topaz asked.

"I have Charms, Tranfigurations, Herbology, DADA, History of Magic, Potions and Care of Magical Creatures." he said. "Hope you don't blow up the Potions lab." Kaiser said and they started to laugh. "I'm sure I will, whether accidently or not." Malik said, smirking before turning to Diamond.

"What about you?" he questioned and she took out her paper that listed her classes. "Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, Divination, DADA, Transfigurations, Charms and Herbology." she recited. They looked over the rest of their classes, finding out the all have DADA as their fourth class. "I hope the new DADA teacher is nice." Ryou said and they all agreed ebfore they went to bed for the night.

The next day, they all got ready for their first day of school. After getting ready, Yugi went to get his robes and gasped when he saw they were replaced with fine, ruby red silk ones. 'Where did these come from?' he wondered, pulling out one and fingered the material lightly. The robe was done beautifully and measured just right for the perfect fit on him.

The Gryffindor symbol was embroidered on it while the edges were done in gold trim, ruby rhinestones sown into the fabric. 'This must've cost a lot but who could've gotten them for me? Only a Gryffindor that knows that password could get in here.' he thought but then didn't ponder on it much and placed the robe on, hurrying out when his friends called for him.

"Yugi, nice robe." Ron said in awe. "Thanks though I don't know how they got into my chest. I brought the same robes like you and somehow, these were in my chest instead." Yugi said as they walked out and met with the girls in the common room. "Maybe that mystery you told us about is starting." Hermione said.

"I hope not. The last thing we need is some rumors about a ghost or something deadly fancying me and could possibly hurt you or the others." Yugi said softly, looking up to her as they stopped in front of the Transfigurations classroom.

"I'm sure that we can deal with this, Yugi. Don't worry." Hermione reassured before leaving him to head into his class, heading to her own. He watched her go before heading inside.

"Ah, Mr. Motou. Was starting to wonder where you were." Ms. McGonagall said before looking at the seating arrangements. "There, You can sit next to Mr. Rauko. Yami, raise your hand." He did so and Yugi looked over to him, gasping lightly at the resemblance to the Slytherin student and himself. Some started to mutter quietly about their resemblance as Yugi went over to his seats and placed his books down on the desk, not looking over to his partner. Yami looked to him from the corner of his eye before speaking.

"So, you're Yugi Motou. It's nice to meet you." Yami spoke and Yugi looked to him. "It's nice to meet you as well." Yugi said before he went back to writing his notes. 'I don't know about him but it's best I avoid him from now on. Ron did say he could be trouble even if he and his friends didn't know if he socialized with Malfoy.' Yugi thought.

Yami continued to wait him silently from the corner of his eye as he started to write down his notes as well. 'Hmm, this may take a while to gain his trust but soon enough Aqua and I will have it and then we can finally have him as our beloved mate. Slowly but surely as long as nothing ruins this chance. Aqua and I have waited long for his arrival and we're not going to lose this chance.' he thought as the class continued on.

Zypher: And that's all for the second chapter. Yeah, probably have more stuff wrong compared to the book but like I said, most of what I write is from what movies I've seen. Need to watch Goblet of Fire one day -mumbles to herself-. But anyways, hoped you like the chapter and will be waiting for the enxt which will be coming soon. See you soon.
