Sekhmet's broken child

Estrella: Okay, so I just now realized, I have no idea if I should put Harry in Gryffindor, like the usual fic, or in Slytherin, like other fics that have. And what about his brother and new sister? Well, I have no patience to ask you, the wonderful readers, to tell me which house each will go to, and so I'm winging it right now. This might just mess up the entire story. I'm ranting; sorry I'll shut up now. Oh I don't own HP or YGO!

Chapter 2: One year later

It's been a year since Akefia Potter was adopted by the Potters. She and her step brother, Harry, get along so well, you'd they were related by blood. She isn't treated well by the rest of her family. They forced her to cover the right side of her face with bandages, and hardly let her out of the house. Well, that would change very soon…

BLAM!

Harry winced as an owl crashed into a window. He opened it and took three letters from it. Wait… three? He looked at the names. Mr. H. Potter, Mr. J. Potter and Miss A. Potter. He ran into the kitchen were Lily Potter was cooking breakfast.

"WE'VE GOT OUR LETTERS!" He waved said letters in his hands. Julius quickly snatched his letter and Lily took the only female one.

"Seems Akefia's going to Hogwarts. Little brat will ruin our name…" Akefia chose this moment to walk in and snatched the letter from her "mother" when she wasn't looking. Sitting down next to Harry, she read the letter.

"Dear Miss Potter,

We are happy to tell you, you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Term begins September 1. Your list of supplies and ticket to the Hogwarts express are enclosed in the letter.

Headmaster,

Albus Dumbledore."

Akefia smiled at the list and then at harry. Maybe they'll be in the same house.

TIME JUMP TO DIAGON ALLEYA

Lily shook her head as she watched her youngest children run off to Olivander's. It's not that she didn't trust the man; she didn't trust Akefia or Harry. Julius stood by her side. His robes displaying the Gryffindor patch. He was happy Harry wasn't in the same house as him. He got into Slytherin and to everyone's, and I mean EVERYONE'S, surprise, he befriended a Gryffindor by the name of Yami Mouto. A tri colored haired freak. He was surprised the sorting hat fit on his head. Sighing, Julius sat next to Lily as they waited for Harry and Akefia to return. Seeing them they walked up to the duo.

"Where were you?" Lily asked. Harry and Akefia looked at each other, and then at the basket they were carrying.

"Nowhere important…" they said. Julius snatched the basket, and dropped it when and golden head with amber eyes popped out.

"What is that thing?!" Lily shrieked.

"Sekhmet, my lioness cub?" Akefia said as if I was the most normal thing in the world for her, which it was seeing how she was Egyptian. She'd never forget that.

"And the red eyes coming from your robes?" Julius asked.

"Seth. My King Cobra!" Seth peeked out and hissed at Lily and Julius. Akefia laughed and walked into Olivander's. The others followed her inside and watched as the tape measurer did its thing. Soon, Olivander came out with several boxes.

"Here. Oak with the tail of a unicorn. Ten inches. Whippy, good for charms." She waved it and the window shattered.

"SORRY!" Akefia said.

"No. Let's see… try this. Cherry wood, phoenix feather, nine and a half inches. Stubborn. Good for transfiguration." Again, nothing good happened. This went on for a while. Soon Olivander was beaming at the girl before him.

"I can see you're just like Harry. You need a special wand. I have just the thing," he went to the very back of his shop and brought out a staff made of pure white gold. It had a ruby engraved at the top with diamonds. Hieroglyphs around them said: "Sekhmet's lost child, daughter of the Goddess of Destruction. Call upon me whenever you need me." It shrunk to about six inches and sparks filled the air when Akefia waved it. Satisfied, they paid and left quickly.

TIME JUMP HOGWARTS EXPRESS

Harry dragged Akefia along and sat in a compartment which was pretty big. Well, bigger than the others that is. The door opened to reveal a boy and a girl with sandy blond hair and rich tans.

"Sorry. We'll go find somewhere else to sit," the boy said.

"Wait! Marik?" Harry said.

"Harry? Sorry, didn't notice you at first." Marik said, "This is Malik, my twin sister. The one who was in foster care last year and couldn't come." Malik waved and sat next to Akefia.

"I'm Harry, and she's Akefia. My little sister."

"Wow, we're all introducing siblings." A new voice said, "Yami. Yami Mouto and this is my little sister, Yugi." Yugi looked almost like Yami, only her hair fell to her shoulders in soft spikes and were outlined in purple, not red. And her eyes were amethyst, not red. They sat down in silence for a while, when the door opened to reveal a girl with emerald eyes and white hair.

"Sorry. I was looking for my sister…" she said and was about to leave when another girl, who looked just like her, only with blue eyes, and sharper features, walked inside dragging her along.

"I'm Bakura Bakhura*, she's my sister Ryou." Malik sniggered, "what?"

"Your first and last names are the same!" She said. Bakura rolled her eyes as the food cart came by. Everyone bought something.

"So, what is this? Berttie Bott's Every Flavor Beans? Why didn't they just say jelly beans? That's what they look like…" Yugi said. Yami shrugged, and took it firm her.

"They mean every flavor! Dumbledore got earwax once. I think it was last year," Harry said. Yugi dropped the box she had taken back from her brother, "but it doesn't hurt to try them."

"I'll do if you'll all do it…" Ryou said. They nodded and each took one. Harry ate his first. He spat it out quickly.

"Mud. Dirty, fresh mud…" he said. Yami popped his next, and swallowed hardly.

"Salt. Sea salt… I need water!" Yugi handed him her water bottle and watched amusedly as he drank like a dog. Marik ate his.

"Hmm… lettuce. Not bad, but not my favorite…"

"BLEUGH! Sand flavored! And we just left Egypt!" Malik whined. Bakura ate hers and grinned like a loon.

"Do we want to know?" Ryou asked as she ate hers and smiled, "vanilla." Bakura shook her head. Akefia ate hers and sighed.

"Ice cream. Strawberry." She said and Yugi ate hers.

"I never thought I'd be happy to taste melon punch!" She said, "But I prefer fruit punch."

TIME JUMP SORTING

Everyone clapped as the hat finished its song. It was just as powerful as before. Minerva McGonagall read out the names from a scroll.

"Bakura Bakhura!" Everyone laughed as the girl walked up to the hat. As it was placed on her head, she gave them the one finger salute… with both hands.

"SLYTHERIN!" The hat called.

"Ryou Bakhura!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Malik Ishtar!"

"SLYTHERIN!" Marik clapped loudly as his sister walked up to his houses' table.

"Yugi Mouto!"

"GRYFFINDOR!" Harry watched as Yami jumped up and clapped loudly. Yugi sat next to him, well on his lap, and they watched the sorting together. Had Professor McGonagall not said her last name was Mouto, everyone would have thought they were dating.

"Akefia Potter!" Akefia walked up to the hat, and stopped halfway there when someone said:

"LOOK! IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THE FREAKS!" It was Julius. She looked up at the table where the professors were and looked at her father who was smiling at what his son said. She reached behind her head, and slowly let the bandaged drop to the floor. Everyone gasped at the scar on her cheek. She smirked and walked up to the hat.

"SLYTHERIN!" It bellowed and she sat close to Harry. She wouldn't be pushed around in this school. She vowed to make her life what she wants it to be, not what her family tells her it is.
