Yami quickly opened the door that led to his office and looked for the source of the crash. He didn't see anything immediately, which puzzled him. "Peeves, if this is your idea of a joke you will be very sorry." Yami said thru gritted teeth, he really hated that poltergeist with a vengeance.
"Well, I guess I'm lucky I'm not Peeves then." Said a voice off to the Pharaoh's right. Yami whipped around to see Bakura lying on the ground, he had apparently crashed into the desk when he appeared, though how he managed to make that much noise was beyond him.
"Bakura, what's going on what are you doing here?" the Pharaoh asked raising his eyebrow.
"I'll tell you once our little audience goes somewhere else Pharaoh." Bakura replied in Japanese. Yami nodded and whipped around to see pretty much his entire classroom there straining to see and hear what was going on in his office.
"Alright, apparently I didn't make this clear enough, so let me try this again. Class Dismissed, and by class dismissed I mean good-bye see you on Friday." Yami said rather hotly, eavesdropping was extremely rude and he absolutely hated it when people eavesdropped.
His class seemed to finally take the hint as they took this opportunity to rush out of the classroom as quickly as possible. Of course some of them let their curiosity get the better of them, Hermione being one, took the opportunity to see who it was that was in Dr. Moto's office. She saw a man with long white hair leaning up against Dr. Moto's desk. However, she didn't have long to look as Yami got fed up with waiting patiently for the students to leave, so he opted instead to practically shove them out the door. Once Hermione was out in the hallway she made a mental note to tell Harry and Ron about this when she saw them in the Great Hall.
Once Yami had gotten rid of his class, he turned his attention to Bakura. "Well, for a king of thieves who prides himself on stealth you sure made quite a lot of noise." The Pharaoh said with a smirk.
Bakura merely glared at him for a second before saying, "Well, Pharaoh I come to you baring information. I managed to locate some members of the death eaters and learn a little bit about what it is they are planning." He then waited for a couple of seconds before continuing.
"Well, one of the things these Death Eaters were talking about was 'the Dark Lord is set upon locating the one with the spiky hair who overcame the killing curse.' Apparently, this Dark Lord, who from what I gathered is what the Death Eaters call their boss, is quite ticked that you managed to not only survive the attack on the dig site, but that you did it in a way that in this world isn't supposed to be possible. Leave it to you to make such an impression, and here I thought you weren't trying to show off. So, he is putting a lot of resources into finding out where you are. Also, they spoke about hunting for any traces of the shadow magic from Egypt; they are rather confused as to why it all managed to just disappear. And finally, they were talking about some plan to get rid of 'the boy who lived.' Though, who that is I haven't the slightest idea, I for some reason thought that it might be you, seeing as how that spell that you countered was called the killing curse, and you survived, so that could make you the boy who lived, so therefore they are actively plotting your demise Pharaoh." Bakura finished with a smirk. If Yami didn't know better he would have thought that Bakura was jealous that someone else other than him was trying to kill him.
"As interesting as that all is Bakura it still doesn't explain your entrance. Something went wrong, didn't it?" Yami said with his brow furrowed.
"What do you mean something went wrong, everything went just peachy, everything was going according to plan, right down to the part where one of the bozos in black got a bit drunk and started to randomly start attacking people, I had planned on almost getting nailed a couple of times. It was my plan from the onset to be forced to use Diabound to get out of there with my head still attached. Diabound brought me straight to your office just a little bit more forcefully than I was expecting, so as you can tell I had the entire situation under my control." Bakura responded quite hotly, along with a bit of grumbling about 'know it all Ra be damned Pharaoh's sticking their noses where they don't belong.'
Yami couldn't help but laugh as he pictured Bakura trying to escape a group of drunk death eaters trying to cause as much chaos and destruction as is humanly possible. (/Yami, that's not funny, not funny at all Bakura could have been really hurt./)
"Well, Pharaoh I did my part by supplying you with the information, now this is the part where you come up with a brilliant complicated plan to put a stop to the evil attempt at world domination, which we can pull off before dinner." Bakura said with a smirk on his face, as the Pharaoh shot him a glare.
"You know as well as I do that isn't nearly enough information to come up with a way to put a stop to their scheme, I don't even know how they plan to accomplish their goals, all you managed to tell me was the general goal, that would be like me having someone spy on you and they come back and say, 'my pharaoh, the thief king wants to kill you. Now what is your plan to stop him?' unless I have more information I can't come up with a plan." The Pharaoh said.(/ Come on Pharaoh, you've gone on less information than that before and you still came up with a brilliant plan./ /Oh, and when was that Yugi?/ /The time when you overheard Joey talking about how him and Tristan were going to prank you and Kaiba on April Fools day my senior year, you managed to avoid their gag and make them look like the idiots. You know that you had a plan that time./ /Yugi, that was Joey and Tristan, not some evil nutcase bent on the destruction of humanity, anyone can come up with a plan to stop those two as soon as you know that they're planning to prank someone and when they plan to do it./)
"Well, excuse me Pharaoh, I didn't manage to get Voldemort's date book, but don't worry that's on my to-do list. Right between rob Gringotts and world domination." Bakura said with a smirk.
"You did a great job Tomb Robber, just at the moment I don't have enough to go on, but as soon as I hear anything of interest I'll let you guys all know." The Pharaoh said.
"Does this mean we're back to the bi-monthly item holders meetings?" Bakura said with a look of pleading on his face, clearly he dreaded bi-monthly meetings.
"If I manage to survive my first week of teaching with my sanity still intact we'll have a meeting at the end of the week." The Pharaoh said with a smirk, as Bakura's face paled.
Yami looked up at the clock, "As much as I would like to continue this conversation Bakura, I have another class in ten minutes. You're welcome to stay in here and relax, and I'll be back after the lesson." Yami said as he got up and began to head back to his classroom, he paused before saying to Bakura, "After this class is over it will be lunchtime, you can come down with me to the Great Hall to get something to eat, on the grounds that you promise to at least act like you're a civilized human." Bakura laughed as Yami continued out, Bakura was well known as liking to eat raw meat and not being very nice about it when he did, which usually resulted in almost everyone within sight losing their appetite. (/not to mention their stomachs./)
Bakura looked around the Pharaoh's office after he left, he couldn't help feeling a tiny bit sorry for the children who were being forced to endure lessons with him. The Pharaoh is used to being in complete control of everything that is under his control, by putting him in a leadership position so closely connected to Egypt its like re-crowning him Pharaoh. Those poor kids don't know what their messing with. They better pray to whatever higher power they believe in that they don't get him mad, and that if they do Yugi is aware enough of the situation (and not sleeping in his soul room) to sort it out before he gets to ticked… the Pharaoh can have quite the temper. The Pharaoh doesn't take crap from anyone, so may Osiris have mercy on the souls of the kids who try to defy him.
: You would know seeing as how you're usually on the receiving end of said temper. :
: Shut up Ryou, I don't remember asking for your commentary. :
: Doesn't make it any less true. : Ryou replied smartly, over the years Ryou had not only learned how to get along with Bakura but also how to get away with smarting off to him.
Bakura chose not to comment, and instead contented himself by looking around the room. He could hear the Pharaoh beginning his lesson. This is going to take a while.
Hermione rushed into the Gryffindor common room to find Harry and Ron sitting in the corner entertaining themselves with a game of wizards chess, which at a glance it appeared that Ron was winning.
Harry looked up from the game when he heard Hermione plop down on the floor next to him.
"Hermione what are you doing back here so early? I thought you had Ancient Runes with that new professor." He asked casually, not doubting for a second that Hermione was about to explain what was going on. God sometimes he hated being right.
"I did have Ancient Runes this morning Harry, but we were dismissed before we could even start the lesson." She said quite matter a factly, like a lesson being stopped before it could properly begin was the most normal thing in the world.
"What happened?" Ron said finally looking up from the game, something had to be up and Hermione was going to spill the beans.
"Well, Dr. Moto had just finished telling us the rules and what his expectations were as well as what we will be covering this term when there was a loud bang that came from his office. He quickly went over the door and dismissed us." Hermione supplied.
"Well, do you know what it was?" Harry asked.
"When he was shooing us out of the room I was able to get a glimpse of a man with long white hair in his office, I'm assuming it was him that made the noise, but no clue as to how he got into the castle." Hermione said, and that was the part that was bothering her, how could that stranger have gotten in so easily, was there a weakness in Hogwarts defenses and if so they had to find out what it was and alert Dumbledore to it as soon as possible.
Harry and Ron seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"Well, I say we find out how he got into the castle." Ron suggested as he got up from the chair and began to head towards the portrait.
"Do you mean now?" Hermione asked as she also got up.
"Yes now, before he has a chance to leave again." Ron said as if breaking into a professor's office in the middle of the day in order to interrogate someone who had apparently managed to breach Hogwarts defenses was the most logical thing in the world.
"I agree with Ron, if we wait til later he'll probably be gone and then we'll never know how he got in." Harry said.
"Are you coming Hermione?" Ron asked, seeing as how she hadn't followed them yet.
"Yes I'm coming Ronald, but if we get caught I'm blaming the two of you." She said as she got up from her seat and followed the two boys out the portrait.
About ten minutes later Harry, Ron and Hermione were in the Ancient Runes corridor, Hermione could hear Dr. Moto beginning his lecture, so she knew that he wasn't in his office, which was a good thing.
"Alright, this is his office." Hermione said indicating to a door on her right, "just make sure you keep it down because his classroom is right next door, and he'll probably go ballistic if he catches us."
"We know that Hermione." Ron and Harry said in unison as they turned to the door.
"Alright, let's get this over with ALOHOMORA" Hermione said pointing her wand at the door.
Slowly the door creaked open and the shadows surrounding it dispersed to alert their master that someone had opened the door. Bakura looked up upon seeing the door open and smiled. This is going to be fun.
Harry, Ron and Hermione walked slowly into the office and barely had a chance to look around when they found themselves pinned up against the wall and unable to move.
"Well well well now what do we have here?" Bakura said quite casually clearly enjoying this, as well as picturing various things the Pharaoh no doubt would do when he found out that someone broke into his office.
Harry was the first to speak, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Harry asked in what he thought was an intimidating voice.
Bakura laughed, "I should be asking you the same question, or better yet I should go and get Dr. Moto and have him ask you, after all it is his office." Bakura said clearly enjoying the whole situation.
Hermione visibly paled, but Ron and Harry didn't seem to be put off in the slightest that they had been caught and were now pinned against the wall. The way they were acting it seemed like everything was going according to plan.
"Go ahead and while he's here why don't you explain how you broke into his office as well, I'm sure he'd love to hear that." Ron said quite cockily.
"For your information, Dr. Moto is fully aware that I am in his office, and he is perfectly fine with it. He also is quite aware of how it is that I got here, he asked me to stay here while he finished with his classes so we could finish discussing things during lunch, you however, are uninvited trespassers who are going to be in serious trouble." Bakura said with a smirk as he headed to the door that led to the Ancient Runes classroom.
"Now, why don't you begin by reading chapter one in your textbook and after you have finished that we'll begin discussing how you go about interpreting the glyphs." Yami said to his class as he heard the door to his office open.
"Pharaoh, you need to come in here, there's something that you need to see." Bakura said in Japanese, as the Pharaoh turned around and headed towards his office.
"This better be important Bakura." Yami said as he closed the door, it was then that he saw Harry, Ron and Hermione pinned to the wall. The Pharaoh closed his eyes and took a deep breath and began to count backwards from ten. (That's what Yugi tells him to do before he starts to go off on someone in a fit of rage.)
Bakura upon seeing the Pharaoh close his eyes decided that he should probably be anywhere but here at this moment in time, however, before he could leave the Pharaoh had opened his eyes.
"What in Ra's name are you three doing in MY office?" Yami said as calmly as he could, though the anger in his voice was quite evident.
/Yami, try to calm down. I'm sure there's a harmless reason why they're hear, probably got lost looking for their class or something like that. Your jumping to conclusions by thinking they broke in./ Yugi said trying to calm the Pharaoh down.
/Yugi, now that would be a plausible explanation as to why a FIRST year student ended up in my office, however these students are SIXTH years, so they know their way around the castle better than we do, so they didn't end up here by mistake./ Yami explained.
/How do you know they're sixth years Yami?/ Yugi asked.
/The girl is the one who was in our first lesson who said that they learned how to read Hieroglyphs last year for their OWLs so, there wasn't a reason for us to teach them./ Yami replied.
/oh./ Yugi had officially run out of ideas as to why they were in their office if they weren't there to cause trouble, and realized that Yami had every right to be angry.
"Dr. Moto we came to find out how the man with the white hair got into your office." Hermione answered.
"I assure you Miss Granger that how Bakura got into my office is none of your concern, now you and your two friends are going to serve detention with me for the next week starting tonight as punishment for trespassing. Don't let me catch any of you breaking into my office again or you will be sorry." Yami said before turning and going back into his classroom and closing the door.
"Well, now that that's settled have a nice day." Bakura said with a huge smirk on his face as he let the three of them fall to the ground.
Harry Ron and Hermione gave Bakura one last look before heading out the door.
A/N: I'm reposting this chapter on account of the fact that I posted the document that didn't have any of the editing done on it early, and I was informed about this (thank you Saitaina R. Moricia), So I'm reposting it.
