Chapter 3
After Yugi had dragged Bakura and Marik out for hours of shopping on the streets of London, the two weeks before they went to Hogwarts couldn't come soon enough for the boys.
As expected a week before term started a knock came on the door and there stood the strangest man they had ever seen, and that was saying something! He had silvery white hair and beard that went below his belt, sparkling eyes that seemed to be constantly assessing you and a crooked nose.
"Oh! Professor Dumbledore, I didn't think you would be coming..." Grampa exclaimed
"What can I say, I was interested in the students and bored at school. What else could I do?" he laughed
"Right, these are your new students." Grampa pointed
Dumbledore scanned the lightly tanned, triple haired, Yugi. The albino, dark eyed Bakura and the blond, tanned, kohl eyed Marik.
"Nice to meet you" he said, shaking their hands
"Yeah, likewise...Professor." Yugi said
"Shall we go then?" The excited Marik grinned
"Yes we have a lot to do. Goodbye." Dumbledore waved and stepped out of the room, giving privacy to the teens and adults.
"Bye Mum, Grampa" Yugi sniffled
"Hasta la vista" Marik said cheerfully before walking out
"Au revoir." Was all Bakura said before too walking out
"Why did we bring them again?" Yugis mum muttered
"Remember to write, Yugi and keep those two out of trouble" Grampa laughed before pushing her out of the door.
The group headed towards a grotty looking pub called the Leaky Cauldron
"Stick by me, Yugi." Bakura said protectively when he saw what kind of shifty people were inside. Dumbledore just chuckled
"Don't worry, no harm will come to you" he assured them.
Yugi however couldn't wait for them to go shopping
"Let's go shopping!"She cried excitedly
"Yeah let's!" Yugis excitement was infectious and Marik wanted in.
"Alright then" Dumbledore agreed, his eyes twinkling. He led them to a back yard and tapped a brick. Much too everybody's surprise, the brick shrunk back into the wall along with the surrounding bricks, forming an archway. Then teens had to have extreme willpower to not let their jaws drop to the floor.
"I hope you have your lists?" Dumbledore asked, all they did was nod while wandering which shop to hit first
"Then welcome to Diagon Alley"

~Japan~
Meanwhile...
Atem was trying to force open Yugis soul room door. But there was an amethyst and silver force field covering its surface, stopping him from getting in
"YUGI!" he yelled to no avail. "Yugi" he whimpered, he felt like his heart was breaking.

~England~
"Welcome to Diagon Alley"
Suddenly the millennium puzzle glowed and Yugi screamed and fell to her knees, sobbing. A second later Bakura had her in her arms and Marik was rubbing her back soothingly before also hugging her.
"What's wrong, Yugi?" Bakura asked
"It hurts, he hurts..."
"Who?" Marik asked even though he had a good idea who.
"...A-Atem" she blubbed
"Shh, it's OK" Bakura rocked her
"It's like he's dying 'Kura. Like he's dying inside..."
"Maybe Tea dumped his sorry ass" Marik muttered. Bakura kicked him when Yugi started crying harder.
By now a group of people had gathered around the trio, perplexed. Dumbledore was one of them. He coughed
"Um, what's going on?" he asked
"One minute professor" Marik said he then turned to Bakura "Bakura you know what to do." The tomb robber put his forehead to hers and whispered tenderly what sounded like 'sleep little one'. The eye on his ring glowed for a second then Yugi crumpled, asleep.
Bakura turned to a stunned Dumbledore, swinging Yugi over his shoulder as he did.
"Let's go!" he said like nothing unusual had happened
Dumbledore, deciding that it would be futile to try and find out what happened, only said,
"Do you want to put her in her room, she must be heavy?"
"Nah," he replied "I'll wake her up in a minute, she wouldn't want to miss this."
"Okay... Let's go to the bank."
"Wizards have banks?" Marik asked questionably
"Only the one, Gringotts." He said as the came up to the steps of the huge white building
[I've forgotten the poem by the door and I honestly cannot be bothered to look it up, so you'll have to remember the jist of it.]
"Bakura don't get any ideas I've got my eyes on you" Marik threatened
"Fine, but we have to come here again at some point!"
"Nobody can rob this bank, nobody. There are hundreds of spells and enchantments in there." Dumbledore said
"Piffle, try robbing the tomb of a Pharaoh in less than one hour, that is hard!"
"Especially when his son is alive and is the current Pharaoh, and has the power of the gods behind him, it is anyway" he added under his breath so only Marik could hear. What he didn't know was that Dumbledore had placed a charm to make his hearing better (he was a little bit deaf) and could hear every word.
They exchanged their money for Galleons, Sickles and Knuts and Marik had to stop Bakura sneaking off more than once. When they got outside, Bakura woke Yugi up so they could get something to eat.
"How did you do that before? You don't have a wand." All they did was shuffle their feet until Yugi changed the convocation by asking how long she had been out for.
"About an hour" Marik told her
"Gods, I'm starving!" Bakura groaned
"Let's get some food then" Dumbledore smiled
~After lunch~
"Where should we go first?" Yugi asked
"How about Madame Malkins, we can get your school robes" Dumbledore suggested
~After getting fitted, and dealing with a disappointed Yugi who wanted leather to be part of the uniform. And also some general shopping for potion ingredients ECT...~
"Let's get your books your pets then wands. After that I think we will be finished" Dumbledore said. He led them to a bookshop.
When Yugi walked into the claustrophobic room she felt her skin prickle, there was something that was calling to her. So, leaving the boys to get her book, she followed her gut instinct. She found herself in an apparently untouched part of the shop. Judging from the thick dust layering the floor and walls that hadn't been disturbed in years. As she walked over to a small gold book at the back dust puffed up under her feet and the noise from the shop had strangely disappeared. She grabbed the gold book and ran back the way she came.
"Where did you go? You've been missing for ages!" Bakura said worriedly
"It was only five minutes" Marik snapped, but he too looked relieved
"I don't know why but as soon as I stepped in here I was sort of drawn to this book. Have you got my school books by the way?"
"Yeah, here you go." Marik passed them to her
"I'm going to pay for this lot then" she said before walking away. None of them noticed they were being watched and they walked after Yugi as she went to the till to buy her books.
YPOV
It was weird, as I walked off to but my books I had a feeling I was being watched. I looked behind me and only saw Dumbledore so I shrugged the feeling off.
I paid for my books noticing how the owner's eyes widened when he got to the golden book, but quickly tried to hide it.
I wondered why but I forgot all about it when we got to Magical Menagerie. I was finding nothing fast. I wondered whether I should get an owl or cat when a crash was heard from the back of the shop and a ball of lavender fur and silver wings collided with my legs.
"I don't live here, I live in Egypt!" It growled in ancient Egyptian. Then a portly man who I presumed was the owner of the shop appeared, puffing away.
"You're not my master, my only master is Queen Heba!" It squealed as the man tried to catch it. Dumbledore and Marik were chuckling but Yugi and Bakura were staring at the amethyst blur in wonder and disbelief. When he saw this Marik stopped chuckling, as did Dumbledore. Much to everybody's, except Bakuras, surprise Yugi went over to the Sphinx, picked it up and gave it a cuddle even though it spat and scratched.
"Who dares abuse the queen's companion?" It hissed not degrading its self by saying pet. It was still unable to see Yugis face
"Me the former queen" She laughed, lifting it so it could see her face "Femi, I missed you." She said
"MISTRESS! IT'S YOU!" Suddenly the sphinx wasn't in her hands but on her shoulders, rubbing her face on Yugis cheek
"I'll take her" Yugi said to the extremely surprised shop owner. "How much?"
"To get that ball of mayhem off my hands you can have her for free" he replied slightly dazed
"Yay!" Femi purred and to everybody's surprise flew over to the owner and licked his face.
"Now for wands" Dumbledore told them as they stepped out of the pet store after Bakura had gotten a moody black cat with eyes that resembled his that only liked Bakura, Yugi and Marik and killed everybody else. He named her Bastet.
Marik had gotten a Hawk and called it Horus.
"Wands!" They all screamed excitedly, they had been waiting for this all day.
They walked into Olivanders and the hair on the back of their neck seemed to stand on end.
"Hello..." a soft voice said behind them, making them jump a foot in the air. And fortunately Marik and Bakura saw who it was before they banished him to the shadow realm. That would take some explaining.
"Ah Yugi Motou, Marik Ishtar and Bakura Akifia, I've heard all about you."
"You have?" they asked
"Yes apparently in muggle Japan there's a massive manhunt for three teens and two adults. Even though they're not missing."
"Oh" Yugi sighed
"Plus three kids who nobody has ever heard of with gravity defying hair, collapsing in streets spreads fast around here." He laughed lowly "Now let's find you a wand". He stepped further into his shop searching through the small rectangular boxes.
~Hours later and many wands discarded= a very happy Olivander and a very bored Bakura~
"We'll find it soon! I hope." Olivanders smile was getting bigger and bigger with every wand the three tried.
"Hm, how about this? A very old wand. Was meant to have been found in Egypt, in a tomb of a 'Thief King' or something... Nobody could understand the rest" The last bit he muttered as if to himself as he handed it to Bakura, setting the silver, hieroglyphic decorated box to the side. "Egyptian Sycamore 12 ½ inches and on the box it says something like 'dead demon scale'" He pointed to a hieroglyphic that looked a lot like Zorc. Bakura paled but took it anyway. He felt warmth go down his arm and into the ring which glowed. He swished it down (feeling foolish) but out of the end black sparks flew around Yugis hair, making it sway.
Then it was onto Marik.
Olivander also got a second silver box.
"11 inches, Egyptian Mulberry tree, and the core is from a Nile crocodile's tail scale." Marik took it and instantly the rod started to glow.
Finally it was Yugis turn.
Olivander, after trying out a few more wands in vain, pulled out a gold box. Yugi thought it looked similar to the box the millennium puzzle came in. Olivander took special care of this one.
"I've heard from some rumours that this was found in the pyramid of the Nameless Pharaoh, but in an ante-chamber that was for his wife." He paused while his eyes flickered to Yugi, "8 inches, pure gold and white gold swirled together and charmed to make it light, and the core is meant to be the, let's see, 'nail of the blue giant, red feather of the sky and a scale of the sun'. Don't know what it means but, it was apparently made for the pharaoh but it rejected him and chose his wife instead who, actually was the most powerful sorcerer in Egypt!" he took it out of the box and gave it to Yugi. She felt a tingle of familiarity and recognition from the puzzle. But when she brought it down from her head 3 mini monsters came from the end.
[(Sarcastically) can you guess which ones?]
Obelisk, Slifer and Ra were circling her head protectively.
Dumbledore and Ollivander were shocked. They had both looked at the wand and wanted the power but, when they tried to take it from the box it blocked them with a field of white and amethyst magic. Just then the bracelet with the eye on broke when, the wand sent a spell at it of its own accord.
The three youngsters looked at each other. There was only one bracelet like this and they were pretty sure Atem was going to notice soon.

3rd chapter done, YAY. I know sphinxes are not purple and I know they didn't have wings (well I at least don't think they did) but I was using um, writers licence. I dunno, just don't kill me. Review and sorry for anything I did wrong.
Next: Atem finally gets in Yugis soul, not in the way he would like though. Plus we find out what Yugis old friends have been up to.
