AHP: I seem to be on a roll. I just couldn't stop typing! Due to popular demand I don't think there will be any romance in this fic. It just isn't gonna mesh well with the plot...so...maybe next time

Warnings: Kinda AU. Spoilers for Yami's real name and the end of Yugioh. Spoilers also for Harry Potter until just after Goblet of Fire. This story will be widely different from the books after GoF in Harry Potter. For Yugioh it's set after the ceremonial duel between Yugi and Yami.

Pairings: (As things stand now there will be no romance unless it's implied)

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh or Harry Potter. They belong to their respective creators. T.T They just had to make me say it...again!

AHP: Enjoy intallment 3!

CHAPTER THREE: Yugi's Perspective:

Yugi was trying his best to keep a poker face, but at least it seemed to be working. The moving statues had been a bit of a surprise, but nothing he couldn't brush off. He followed the old man up the winding staircase until they reached what he assumed was an office. Once inside he made himself comfortable and steeled his nerves for the upcoming conversation. He had to give them enough information that they would realise he wasn't a threat, but he also wouldn't mention things carelessly. He had a feeling they didn't have much knowledge about the shadow realm. The feel of their magic was simply too different.

He watched carefully as the old man introduced himself as the headmaster. He couldn't stop the disbelief from creeping into his voice at that. He was well aware that he had seemed rude, but there was no way to retract his statement now that it had been made. He had to be strong, like Atemu. The thought caused him yet another pang, but he shoved it away sharply. Now wasn't the time.

A frown creased his brow. He was well aware that he had made the old man somewhat irritated, but he maintained his smiling countenance.

"Don't do that." He disliked dishonest people. He didn't want to deal with someone who wouldn't even display irritation during a conversation. It reeked of manipulation. He watched as a genuinely curious look swept across the others face. Ah, that was much better.

"Do what?" Yugi reflected silently that he wasn't acting quite like himself, but wrote it off due to the current situation.

"Smile when you don't mean it." He watched carefully as the wrinkled face turned down in a frown. It seemed he didn't appreciate his manipulations going down the drain so quickly. It almost made him smirk, which startled him. He had never smirked at someone else's discomfort before. He wasn't acting like himself at all at the moment, and the thought scared him. He felt fairly certain that he wasn't being controlled, but he also couldn't shake off his uneasiness. He only vaguely heard the headmaster speaking to him, but he gave a short nod to show he was still listening. He already knew the old man's reasons for wishing to speak to him.

Despite his lapse from his usual personality, the conversation was going fairly well, until the old fool decided that he would go poking around for answers himself. He had felt that foreign irritation as well as his own sadness when the old man persisted in asked how he knew about magic. He had no desire to speak of his time with Atemu and said as much. When he felt that first push against his mental barriers he was startled. Instantly realising what was going on he felt that irritation drown under his sudden rage. He leapt out of his seat and felt his magic respond to him. It pressed down against the fool who had been rejected from his mind by his barriers. He told the old man exactly how he felt, and he didn't even consider the fact that he had never been so angry in his life. The rage was blacking out everything except his anger and the one responsible for it.

Once he saw his point had been made he withdrew to sit back down and he felt his magic follow suit. He was startled to realise that some of the buildings magic had merged with his own. Apparently the building's magic had been as upset as him about the invasion. He forced himself to calm down before he did anything else since he was sorely tempted to simply walk out and be done with this, but he was here for a reason. That much he had no doubt of.

When the old man stated that he didn't believe offence would be taken he scoffed inwardly. His opinion of the man was bumped up slightly when he acknowledged the fact that he had not expected to get caught. This concerned Yugi slightly. He didn't think much of this magical culture if this was how they got things done. They have magic and they use it to pry into another's mind. It reminded him acutely of the incident with Marik. He didn't wish to go through anything like that again, especially since his stronger half was no longer with him.

He accepted what the Dark Magician had told him earlier, but he still saw himself as the weaker of the two. He was surprised at the invitation to stay, but shrewdly realised that the old man was probably attempting to make peace, and if not able to, then simply to keep an eye on him. Yugi was proud of himself that he had managed to keep it together. He was aware that he hadn't acted much like himself, and he simply refused to let his mind make the connection to who he had acted like. It would imply that person was no longer needed, and that was more than he wanted to deal with. Realising that this would be the perfect way to find his purpose for being brought here, he accepted, silently wondering how he was going to contact his grandfather to inform him what had happened.

When the old man asked his age, he smiled a true smile of genuine amusement, feeling more like himself than he had in a long time. He saw the other was surprised, but paid it no heed. The other question also amused him, but he patiently explained why he was seen as the king of games. When they were done he followed the old man back out of the office. He watched as a stern older woman came forward to meet them. He watched the two older person's converse and waited.

"This is Professor Minerva McGonagall. She will show you to your room." He inclined his head.

"Thank you. I am certain I will be seeing much of you Mr Dumbledore." A twinkling smile was his answer and he followed the lady as she swept through the corridors. He followed silently, looking around to keep his bearings. It wouldn't do to get lost, so the faster he learned his way around the better. As they walked they came across a large group of children, all in various states of excitement and sleepiness. A small smile crossed his lips as he watched them. One however, did catch his gaze. It was a black-haired boy with startling green eyes. He had seemed to stand out for some reason. He was currently staring straight at Yugi. Yugi gazed straight back at him and realised why the boy stood out. His magic was...different from those around him. He had a mixture of two magic's wrapped around him as if warring for dominance. Unlike the Yami and Hikari magic which sought balance, these two magic's seemed to battle against each other. Perhaps there would be something he could do to help the boy. He was going to be here a while after all.

Tearing his gaze away from the other they waited for the children to pass before continuing onwards. At least he had found something to do. The lady started speaking to him explaining about the four houses of Hogwarts. He still found that a somewhat odd name, but shrugged it off. Who was he to criticize? He let his thoughts drift to the green-eyed boy, silently wondering how he had managed to get a second magic added to his own...


(Harry's POV)

Harry had been startled to say the least when he had noted the stranger standing next to Professor McGonagall. They were on their way to their dorms when they came across the two. He had felt his gaze drawn to the other, and again wondered where he was from. He saw that amethyst gaze catch his own and saw the other rake his eyes over his form, wondering if he had dust on his robes. It was almost as if he was looking at something around Harry.

He shuddered inwardly, wondering if it was once again his boy who lived status that was causing that look. At this thought he flattened his hair even more over his scar. It was a habit he had formed by now as he hated people staring. He watched as the other turned his gaze away, but couldn't bring himself to do the same. He traced his eyes over the gold jewellery he was wearing, startled that the shorter male wasn't dragging around with all that added weight. He now noted that the other was even wearing strange cross shaped earrings. Once all the students had walked passed he looked back to catch a last glimpse, and saw as the short figure swept gracefully around a corner. Shaking off his thoughts he wondered what the new DADA teacher Umbridge was going to have to say about the new arrival...


AHP: Well, as promised both Yugi and Harry made an appearance, and we see that Yugi is very confused. Next chapter Yugi and the Dark Magician have another heart to heart. Remember to R&R!
