Warning: Puzzleshipping, Tea's bashing
Well without much more to add, let's jump right in!
"Tea, Tea wait!" Called Yugi's darker half, he went by the name Yami at this point, since now everyone knew that he wasn't Yugi, but they still called him that regardless. He didn't mind, in fact every time he heard his partner's name his heart skipped a beat. He didn't know how, but ever since the their first kiss, Yugi was all wrapped up in his thoughts, which drove him to become more protective of the young boy, yet with that said he was always fair and became friend with nearly everyone in the group. However, he felt really distant with Tea and became friendlier with Joey - despite him being Yugi's first ever best friend.
Hearing Yugi's counterpart, Tea stopped and turned towards Yami, she placed on a gentle smile and batted her eyes, however Yami would never do that to Yugi. Every day he was doing his best to try and make Yugi not only learn to love himself, but show him the warm feeling and taste of a relationship even if they only held hands or gave each other butterfly kisses.
"What's up Yugi?" Yami flinched back slightly as he felt his heart stop, thought Tea, with her good eyes didn't see it. Yami, Tea, Joey and Tristan had a meeting not even a couple minutes ago about their next move, yet Yami wasn't going to talk about that at all,
"Was that really necessary? … Putting Yugi down and all, even though he's not really 'here'." Tea frowned slightly before putting on a pout,
"Well, I wasn't 'really' putting him down, I was just being honest."
"Well that wasn't very nice, considering you two have been friends for quite a long time, not to mention that he would do anything for you." Tea snorted, before sighing to the first disagree in disgust before accepting part of Yami's words.
"We have been friends for a long time, and yes I know Yugi would come to my aid for anything but honestly, I wish he wouldn't." Yami was frowning now, as he crossed his arms, feeling that protective nature fill his body, Tea went on however, not even noticing a fuming dark spirit. "I know Yugi like-likes me but I just don't feel the same, besides, he has no time to be finding love, he needs to be helping you get your memories back and stop this upcoming evil." Then under her breathe he muttered, "Not that he could ever get anybody, I couldn't imagine why any girl would fall in love with him…" Before Yami could lash out at the girl for talking about his boyfriend that way, there was a honking sound as a car pulled up,
"Sorry, that's my ride. See you later Yugi."
"Bye…" Yami muttered back to her cheerful tone as Tea jogged over to the car and got in, it was her parent's car. He watched as the car pulled away and drove out of sight, however when he felt an arm wrap around his shoulders he jumped, snapping his head towards the person to see that it was Joey,
"Sorry did I scare ya~? Hehe…" Yami smiled,
"Y-yes, hi Joey. I thought you went home with Tristan,"
"I did, but I forgot my wallet, but instead I overheard that conversation… I didn't hear all of it but I caught some at the end there."
"Don't worry about it Joey… you know how Tea is."
"Yeah, she's a bitch." Yami's facial features changed from tiredness to sheer shock, surprise. "Look, I know we've all been friends for a long time, but Tea can be a bitch some times. I didn't like how she talked about Yugi either, considering that he's been seeing someone," This caused Yami to shift his eyes in another direction before a blush covered his pale cheeks, did he really make it that obvious back there? "I've never seen a boyfriend so ready to tear up someone before in my life." This caused Yami to pout a bit before he said,
"Well it's a natural reaction when someone talks about someone you love, you just want to… hurt the person." Joey let out a chuckle,
"…Right… anyway, let me come inside and get my wallet and then I'll leave you and Yugi so you both can have 'alone time'." That's when Joey got pushed away from Yami who started walking back to Yugi's house which doubled has his grandpa's shop. Joey's chuckles turned from that into laughter.
"That's not funny Joey…!"
"HAHAHA!"
After Joey left and Yami made his way back into Yugi's room, Yugi appeared, sitting on his bed, "So how was the meeting?"
"It was alright, I'll tell you the details later." Yugi tilted his cute little head, his eyes full of innocence's and worry for Yami but, there was nothing to worry about from his end. Yami wondered if it was really okay, dating Yugi like this, he felt like he was stealing away all of that innocence's just to drown in them by the end of the day. Yami smiled at his partner, boyfriend, before walking over, giving him a deep kiss on the lip that was slow and soft but it was that type that knocked Yugi off his feet.
Kissing each other like this, they could feel themselves connect in the way they had never dreamed of before, it made them closer, it made the puzzle bathe in this elegant afterglow, it made Yugi turn into a mess, which made Yami lick his lips – delicious.
"W-what was that for…?" Yugi asked as Yami helped himself on the bed, leaning and crawling over Yugi as his hands intertwined with the smaller ones. Yugi's breathing was all over and his eyes were in that state that caused fires to start right then and there. His eyes never held that type of passion before, and Yami loved every second he could catch it… or make it appear.
"Just because I love you." Yugi snorted before he a smile appeared on his face,
"Well thank you."
"You're welcome…how about a few more before we get onto work…?"
"Sounds good to me." Yugi purred as Yami pressed his lips against his lighter half, as the afternoon poured into the room from the small window…
When Harry woke up, his head, his scar was pounding, everything in this room made feel like he felt into death's ring. As Harry stood up, it took a moment for his vision to return but one he did, he found himself standing upside down,
"What that-!?" He cried out in sound as he made himself drop back down onto the cold stone steps, in fact looking around the whole room, it was clear that he was in some type of maze. After another moment of figuring out that he wouldn't fall, he got up and started to look around,
"W…what is this place…?" When Harry finally got onto flat ground, he looked at all the Egyptian engravings, symbols, artifacts, all of that was here.
"This…, my boy, is the empty soul room of the Pharaoh." Harry jumped as he turned around to see Shadi.
"S-SHADI!" Harry explained, his head was starting to hurt again. What was going on here? What did this empty 'soul room' have to do with anything?
"Harry," He greeted, nodding his head as he came more out of the shadows and into the light where Harry to could see.
"What are you doing here?"
"I look over after all of the Millennium items."
"M-Millennium item? Is this what this is called?"
"We, are in the Millennium Puzzle what was worn by the Pharaoh five-thousand years ago."
"You said that we were in his 'soul room'? What does that mean?"
"This is where the spirit of the Pharaoh remained until someone put the puzzle back together."
"So the puzzle has been solved once?"
"Yes, the Pharaoh and the host shared one body although they had two different souls… now why are you here?"
"I've been trying to solve the puzzle, I finally managed to force a piece in place and somehow I ended up here from my room." Shadi only shook his head, Harry wasn't sure why though,
"You… can't solve the puzzle… the evil within the puzzle had been long gone… and forcing the pieces in will only lead to your death."
"D-d-d-death?" Harry stuttered, as he felt himself shaking now, Shadi's eyes soften from their usually expressionless look, which caused Harry to ask then, "Do you know how to get out of here?"
"… I'm afraid you're the only one who can get yourself out now, since you forced your way in."
"W-what~! Wait! Shadi!" Shadi turned at that point and made his way into the darkness, but stopped before Harry couldn't see him anymore. Turning his head towards Harry, Shadi said,
"If we meet up again… let's talk again… Goodbye Harry."
"Shadi! WAIT!" However, yelling did no good as Shadi disappeared once in the shadows. Harry was officially screwed. How could he find himself a way out…? It wasn't like there was another puzzle inside of the puzzle to help him get him out… or was their…?
Harry shook the idea completely out of his mind, there was no way that could happen. So once again, Harry made his way all around the maze, getting nowhere, stopping by each door he found, opening them to only get a disappointing dead end. There was nothing… absolutely nothing.
Harry didn't even know how long he wondered and ducked threw the empty, dusty maze, and finally he had to stop, taking a rest by the last door, which he figured was the 'last door'. However the rest was short lived when he heard laughter, familiar wicked laughter.
"Mystical Sand-!" Harry gasped, as the black tornado whipped his way as he leaped to the side, skidding on the ground to miss the attack,
"WELL HELLO BOY! DID YOU MISS ME!?"
"HOW DID YOU FIND ME?!" The monster just laughed,
"… YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN OUR SITE BOY! NOW DIE!" Harry scrambled to get himself on his feet to run, but as soon as he got on his feet he felt the hard rush of sand hit his back that sent him fly over the edge, before falling, hitting stairs he didn't even know existed, before rolling down them and onto the – what it seemed to be – the ground floor. Harry groaned before rubbing his head, he reached into his pocket to grab his wand, but it wasn't there.
"You got to be kidding me!" He growled as he heard Mystical Sand catch up to him, Harry got to his feet as he found himself into a throne room, or at least it kind of looked like it. There was a golden throne in the middle of the room. It was clear that it was elegant made but it the weird thing to Harry was that the throne was right in front of a door. Harry groaned again, but made his way to the door, Harry never thought he would hate doors so much at this point.
"COME BACK HERE!" He heard the monster shriek as Harry grabbed the door knob and opened the weird steel door with an Egyptian eye on it. Light blinded Harry for a moment as he found himself in a hallway. Looking around to try and find exit, he found another door a couple feet down from the steal one. It was a wooden door next to a baby blue wall, while the steel door was connected to a black one. What was going on here?!
He ran to the door, however before he got a chance to grab the knob, sand grabbed him and threw him up against the wooden door. Harry was surprise that the door didn't break under the pressure and his weight. Harry however found himself sticking to the door.
"ANY LAST WORDS BOY!?" Harry felt his visit go hazy due to the sand that started to cover everything, never the less, Harry reached for the door knob on the wooden door, until he grabbed it and opened it. As the door swung open, Harry dropped inside the room as bright light flashed out of the room. This cause Mystical Sand to scream in pain and retreat for the moment, yet in the moment of danger, fear and all other negative emotion that was in Harry, disappear.
If somehow, the light was healing him, easing his soul that wondered threw this madness. Harry swore he almost fell right to sleep, it was so calming, relaxing. The light was so powerful Harry didn't care that it blinded him. He made him think of when he was a child, right before his parents were killed… the warmth of his father… the love and care from his mother… both of their feelings, care and love mixed into one.
Harry was disappointed when the lightly finally went away, when he opened his eyes, he stared at right white shoes.
"H-huh?" Looking up he saw a female who wore a white and blue outfit, her hair was white/silver hair that look like it could have been an icy blue color in the light. Her eyes, cherry red eyes glanced down at Harry with an emotionless expression, which was slightly covered by her hair and white hat. Her eyes drifted from Harry to the Mystical Sand who was slowly returning back to kill Harry. Yet the silent female didn't seem scared at all, in fact – with the same emotionless expression that was on her face - all she did was raise her hand to Mystical Sand as a powerful blast, which seemly came out of nowhere, hit it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Once the sand was gone, showed the true monster; a pale skinned witch that was dressed in a deep green mixed with black dress and hat with long black hair, which sat on a broom. It was clear that the witch, Mystical Sand, was startled by what just happened, yet it didn't end there. The silent female raised up a wand, possibly her wand, as the orb in the middle gave off an aqua/turquoise glow before letting out another attack, this time it destroyed Mystical Sand for good.
"T-Thank you…" Harry said, slowly getting up as the female lowered her wand to her side. The women must have been in her very late teens to her early twenties, maybe even mid-twenties. She didn't reply, which made Harry feel awkward but when she started to raise his hand towards him, a brown fuzz-ball with white wings on its back came from the room and in between the two.
"Kurr~Kurr~Kurr!" The small brown thing told the female, as she tilted her head, that looked almost innocent looking, despite her emotionless features, then surprisingly she nodded. Could that female understand that thing? When the fuzz-ball turned to look at him, it's big black eyes were heartwarming as it's big green hands… paws cupped Harry's face to pull his cheeks, it's wings fluttering a gently breeze through Harry's hair.
"Ow…" Harry stated as the fuzz-ball started to pull on his face to make him move his feet, "Okay, okay! I'm following you." When it let go off his face, Harry turned to the female, smiling,
"Thank you… so much for saving me back there." There wasn't a reply but her expression soften, before nodding in understanding. Her eyes giving off a glow of happiness, which Harry accepted as: 'You're welcome,'
Nevertheless Harry followed the small ball of brown fuzz with wings until they reach the end of the hall way, it was a lone door, that was simple. "Thank you!" Harry explained happily, as the fuzz moved out the way for him to open the door. Running out through the door, Harry was once again thrown into the light, however this time, Harry was transported back into his body, where he let out a gasp.
Harry was back where he belong. Looking down at the Millennium Puzzle, the puzzle piece Harry forced into place, popped right out. Harry sighed, rubbing the back of his head, turning it slightly to look at the clock. The time read that it was almost two. He started around midnight, he had been gone for about two good hours. Harry looked around until he found his wand. His wand was still give out light, even though it flickered, he have been running the light spell for a bit too long.
What were those things that saved him? Was Mystical Sand gone for good? Where were the rest of the Millennium items? What was this evil that hooked itself onto the puzzle all those years ago…? Yet, to Harry's surprise, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't want to know the answers and wanted to give the puzzle back. Harry groaned, he had his moment to give back the puzzle, why didn't he?
Because he didn't have it… 'on' him at that moment.
To be honest, he didn't feel this way until after he entered that second room, he could still remember the light that cased from there, it cleansed his soul….
Can a light be so pure, that it could go and purify another one soul….?
Harry wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer to that one either, but one thing for sure, he had to tell his friends what he found…
But, a part of himself didn't, if he didn't want to share a secret that could possible hurt his friends and everyone around him…
Harry knew that he was at a stalemate, and since he only had about four to five hours to sleep, he wasn't looking forward to the day to come. Not at all, so ceasing the light spell, Harry sluggishly made his way to bed. He felt sore, did the damage he took from Mystical Sand return into real life? He hoped it wasn't the case but as the memory of the past came flooding back into his mind, the more he just couldn't deny it.
Yugi woke up in slight pain, however it didn't come from his hands.
"Wh-what the…? Is it a heart attack?" He groaned, before rubbing his chest before a wave of coolness filled his lungs. "What was that…?" He asked himself, getting up slowly, looking at the clock, it was almost two. Over on this desk, his deck was glowing, "Huh?" Picking up his deck, he opened up the pouch he kept them in, pulling out two cards, Winged Kuriboh and Silent Magician. With a smug smile on his face he asked them,
"What are you two up too?" With that, they stopped blinking-glowing as Yugi shook his head, slightly confused. Nevertheless he had his way back to bed, after he put them away, "I'm not sure what you guys are doing, but if you guys are waking me up this late…, er…. Early…, please don't." Soon after Yugi fell back to sleep.
The Pharaoh was unimaginably silent when Kalim had returned, slightly wounded from Mystical Sand being destroyed and that boy - who was right in their domain - escaped. Kalim wondered if it was a good idea to be honest with the Pharaoh, however it was the Pharaoh, he would have found out sooner or later. Finally to Kalim and everyone else dismay, the Pharaoh spoke up,
"Give me one reason… one," The Pharaoh's voice was in a low raspy whisper, it made Kalim shake, "As to why I shouldn't HAVE YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW!" The Pharaoh started to rise out of his tome, shadows started to roar to life, ready to be summoned at any moment, yet what stopped him was a brown fuzz-ball that threw itself in the Pharaoh's face, latching onto for dear life. When the Pharaoh was able to get the fuzz ball off, he sighed, "Kuriboh…"
"Kurr~Kurr~!" It spoke he held out its tiny arms for a hug, which it got. The Pharaoh also nuzzled the small creature with his boney fingers, which lead to purring. In the next moment, Pharaoh felt a wave of tiredness wash over him.
"… I'm sorry Kalim, forgive me…. I don't know what has come over me lately…"
"Pharaoh…" Kalim said, giving him a gentle look of sadness as the Pharaoh shook his head,
"Please rest up… you've have done enough for today…" With that the Pharaoh, laid back down in his tome with Kuriboh who was wrapped in his arms, leaving Kalim alone before he made his way into the darkness.
"… Kalim, are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine Isis, I do have wounds from Mystical Sand being destroyed, but with a little rest I shall be alright… did you see how he destroyed Mystical Sand."
"Yes… and no… it was a powerful monster, but there was a light that blinded me and moments later the light forced me out… however, I never felt so at peace with myself… I wish the Pharaoh could have felt the same thing…"
"… Maybe if you did your job, Kalim maybe you wouldn't have got hurt!"
"Seto!" Isis snapped as he came into view.
"The Pharaoh gave him an order and so far he wasn't even able to harm the boy to the point he couldn't move."
"Well when it's your turn Seto, then you shall have your time with the boy. The Pharaoh had asked Kalim to do it."
"Stay out of this Mahado!"
"All of you! Stop! The Pharaoh is rest right now! And if you wake him…" Isis didn't continue, hell she didn't want to think about it.
"… Right…, however, I don't know why the Pharaoh is acting this way."
"What do you mean, Mahado? I think the Pharaoh has grown up to the person I can respect even more."
"Seto…" Isis warned as Mahado glared at him,
"He's been having his double personality going on, on moment he wants bloodshed, the next moment he returns to the Pharaoh we all know. Has anyone seen Shadi? I need him to make sure if the Pharaoh is okay."
"I'm sorry I haven't seen him, however when I do – I shall tell him to come to you." Kalim said to Mahado as Isis nodded to agree,
"I shall keep an eye out for him," There was a groan from Seto as they saw him roll his eyes,
"Please… whatever fears you have Mahado, put them to rest… this is our Pharaoh, it's always have been." Mahado frown before crossing his arms, giving Seto a totally serious look,
"Let me tell you something Seto…, I don't care if you are his cousin… something is wrong with the Pharaoh and I won't stop until I figure it out. Don't let the momentarily memory of you being Pharaoh enter your mind… because you led Egypt into ruins after all those years of the Pharaoh's death… that's a memory I'll never forget… and I hope you don't either." This made Seto scowl and growl at Mahado before walking away.
"… Was that necessary?" Isis asked as she helped Kalim into his own tome, using Dark Witch to heal him of his wounds,
"I'm just letting him know of my feelings… a little smack in the face of the truth doesn't hurt anyone, especially with a personality like his." Isis and Kalim snickered but said nothing more, but Mahado knew that they agreed with him.
Yugi let out a sigh during the first ten minutes of the classroom, everyone was practically doing nothing but drink tea, having light chattered from time to time, which was fine, he was able to score and pick out things from the test he gave out to the class… a bit more than half was interested in learning about Egypt, so it made him happy despite what happened to his hands.
Looking out to the class, his eyes shift onto Ron, Hermione and Harry… however Harry looked extremely tired, which caused Yugi to raise a brow… he didn't have no homework in this class, and even if he did have homework from other classes, he shouldn't be tired. Yugi frowned before looking down at the list he made for himself for tomorrow, he didn't need to pry into a student's life. It was rude and it reminded him of Professor Umbridge, speaking of which she had made her way over to Yugi's desk,
"Yes Professor Umbridge?" She didn't answer right away, in fact her sour look poured over and onto Yugi, as it made him uncomfortable,
"Mr. Muto… if you please, stand up and get out your wand, I want to teach the students something today." That startled Yugi, his eyes going wide,
"I'm sorry Professor Umbridge, but you want me to duel you again…?"
"Not really duel, but I shall teach the student one of my favorite spells."
"… Very well, are we going outside?" At this point the classroom was filled with chatter,
"Professor Snape has gotten everything ready," That's when she turned to the class, "Set down your cups and leave your stuff. Hurry up, we don't have all day." With Professor Umbridge leading the way, they entered the duel room, which from Yugi's knowledge wasn't use very much… not even by Professor Snape, even though he used it more than others. The room was dark and bland, as the long yellow and blue walkway had a bit of dust but other than that, everything else seemed okay.
"… I wanted it more clean then this." Yugi held himself back from rolling his eyes from that statement made by Umbridge. When Umbridge walked over to the other side, she motioned Yugi to come up from the side they walked in from.
Alright, I'll play along… Yugi thought to himself as he made his way on the walkway, the students as crowded around on both sides. And, for the first and last time in Yugi's time at Hogwarts, he saw Professor Umbridge teach.
"Everyone listen up, and watch very closely, I shall teach you Cruciatus Curse-" Hermione was the first to interrupt Umbridge,
"Wait! Professor!"
"Hush now child, don't interrupt me."
"But that spell-!" Hermione gasped, trying to get the words but she wasn't fast enough,
"Silent now, or you shall take Mr. Muto's place." That's when Yugi stepped up,
"That will not be necessary, please go on, Professor Umbridge." This caused a sly smile to appear on her face, which worried Yugi much more,
"Very well…" She pulled out her wand and within seconds she moved her arm like a whip, waving it towards him, "CRUCIATUS CURE!" A redish-white light flashed out of her wand as Yugi flew back and landed right on his back.
"Mr. Muto!" Ron shouted as Harry couldn't help but to gasp, pain filled his chest, it wasn't as bad as Yugi's pain but it was getting there.
"Oh my god!" Hermione shouted as the classroom burst into an uproar. All of them in horror, even Draco who started out laughing but it died off as Yugi started to scream in sheer pain.
Just moving caused Yugi to cry out even more, and not even a moment had past and Yugi automatically thought he was going to lose his voice, if not his mind. The pain was so intense, he almost forgot where he was, white-hot knives were piercing every inch of his skin, Yugi felt like his head was going to burst with pain; he was screaming louder than he'd ever screamed in his life and, Yugi had his fair share of screaming.
However as seconds past, anger filled his veins as he slowly, got up to his feet, Harry felt that aura, but it was much powerful than before. In fact if Harry focused hard enough he could see a thick outline yet he couldn't stare or focus that long. There were only two hard raw emotions Harry could feel coming from Yugi which were pain and anger. Surprisingly, anger was taking over and winning. Harry was even shaking from all the anger that whipped up from Yugi.
"How…. Dare…. You…?!" This caused Professor Umbridge to stagger back in surprise, gasping, "I will not let you make a fool of me any longer!" Yugi pressed his hand to his forehead, slightly shaking but he grabbed the light outline of the spell as he ripped it away from his body as it disappeared once it hit the air. A strong magical wisps covered and formed around Yugi, although it couldn't be seen, everyone could feel it. Sweat rolled down Yugi's face, which he wiped away, before pulling out his own wand, "If you want a fight Professor, then let's go."
"G-gladly!" She shouted, although she seemed unsure of herself. Nevertheless she whipped around another Cruciatus cure but Yugi ran and dived down towards the ground, missing the spell completely, near Umbridge's feet. Landing on his hands, performing a windmill. He kicked her wand out of her hand as she staggered backwards, landing right on her back as Yugi quickly grabbed her wand before getting back on his feet. Pointing his wand at Umbridge,
"… Don't you ever… do this again."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"I'll tell Dumbledore…." A smirk appeared on his face, "Everything." That made Umbridge scowl but she didn't say anything, Yugi thought that to be a good thing, it was a pain to hear her speak. Finally the bell rung as Yugi threw her back her wand before leaving himself. Another trip to the nurse's office was in order.
"Hold on Pharaoh… the pain will go away in just a moment, Dark Witch, Happy Lover I summon you! Heal the pain that has casted over the Pharaoh." Within moments a wave of relief filled the Pharaoh. Kuriboh had gone and gotten Isis as soon as the attack started. It took a while to find her but when he did, Isis quickly came running back.
"Thank you Isis…, I feel so much better…" But the pain and tiredness didn't ease from what was left from the Pharaoh's face, yet his eyes told Isis that the healing did work.
"A-are you sure…?"
"Yes… please leave me, I have Kuriboh… if I need anything, I shall have him go and get you."
"Very well," Isis slowly left the room, turning her head back from time to time, watching as the Pharaoh nuzzled back down in his tome, holding Kuriboh close.
"You know…," The Pharaoh muttered, his voice thick with sleep, Kuriboh looked up at him, since he knew that the Pharaoh was talking to him, he was the only one in the room, "You remind me of him…, you're so soft, and warm…., caring, sweet…" The Pharaoh couldn't even finish as he finally drifted off to sleep. Kuriboh was glad to ease some of the Pharaoh's pain…, making him remember bitter-sweet memories of the past… even if the bitter part was hidden underneath all of the sweet, almost like an aftertaste that doesn't come up until you finally finish that sweet treat.
Now or never Harry, now or never… Harry thought to himself has Hermione, Ron and he had gotten to their class early.
"Hey, guys… I got something to tell you." Hermione and Ron who were talking about yesterday's events stopped and turned towards a slightly nervous Harry.
"What's up?"
"… well… this is kind of hard to explain…"
"Well take your time, we only have about an hour or so before Yugi get here…" Hermione replied in a half joking, half serious tone. Harry took a deep breath and told his friends what happened after he forced in that one piece in the puzzle and the adventure that came with it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa…," Ron stated, holding up his hands, shaking them from side to side when Harry got done with all this information, Ron went on, "So let me get this straight, you were able to force a piece of that upside down pyramid puzzle, which is called the Millennium Puzzle – as claimed by Shadi – who you met 'after', and as you claim your soul got transferred in the Millennium Puzzle, as you were in the Pharaoh's 'soul room', which his spirit lived in while sharing a body with a host many years ago. Not to only mention that the Pharaoh's 'soul room' is this maze, and there's another room where you met this silent witch who defeated Mystical Sand, and this brown fuzz-ball with wings showed you the way out?! IF I'm missing something PLEASE tell me!" Hermione spoke up then,
"You forgot the part where when he entered the other room, a light cased down and 'healed' his soul, oh and that he was almost killed by Mystical Sand, and the 'soul rooms' seemed empty but they could be occupied by those monsters. It seems to me that you had an evil spirit or a dark spirit living with a life spirit to try and break the curse on the puzzle many years ago."
"This is bloody crazy!"
"Is it really?" Harry interjected, "I mean, 'just' look at the stuff we're going through right now." Ron nodded, before sighing,
"Yeah you're right, but all of that still seems pretty hard to believe-" That's when another voice spoke up,
"What's pretty hard to believe?" Turning, the three saw Yugi. How long has he been standing there? They tried to play it off, but a moment of surprise washed over there facial features. Ron coughed as Hermione spoke up,
"We were just talking about you overcoming the cure yesterday with Professor Umbridge… that was a dangerous spell." Ron and Harry could have right up and kissed… well hugged Hermione, she was so brilliant at times like these,
"… As I've learned, after a trip to the nurse's office. It's an illegal spell that was banned may years ago… correct?"
"Yes sir."
"… No need for the sir…" Yugi pressed gently with a smile as a sweat dropped appeared on his face, yet he quickly got serious once more, "…I'm going to have a chat with Dumbledore as soon as he's free… hopefully that will be enough to get her out of this school." That made the three smile,
"Good, we don't like her either." It was clear that Yugi only heard the ending piece of what Ron said a few moments earlier which was fine. The last thing they needed was him to ask all these type of question. They didn't trust him, however it was hard to even dislike the guy, due to his personality, his innocent charm and how Umbridge treated him in the class room, if that wasn't abuse, Harry, Ron and Hermione didn't know what was.
"So are you all ready to learn something today?"
"Yes, I'm so happy to learn something, I've brushed up on all my Egyptian history and knowledge." Ron scoffed, 'showoff,' under his breath as Yugi turned to him and chuckled, it was clear that Yugi heard Ron,
"You would be surprised what you might learn, Mr. Weasley. I hope you keep an open mind and not only learn from me but your classmates as well." Ron blushed slight before casting his gaze away from Yugi, which only caused another round of deep purr like chuckle to leave his lips, however that all came to end when Professor Umbridge and the rest of the class started to walk up,
"Good morning Professor Umbridge," He bowed like always, as she gave him a weak smile,
"Good morning to you as well. After class I would like to talk to you…"
"Alright, Professor Umbridge."
"Good…" Entering the classroom, Umbridge and the rest followed, getting into place. After Yugi got Umbridge her tea, he took the chalkboard, flipping it on the other side that hasn't been used and moved it over to the class could see. With his hands fully recovered at this point, writing down facts on the chalkboard were a breeze, also what he wrote down is what they needed to go over.
"Good morning everyone, I have looked over the test and picked out the things that we need to cover. Most of you were fairly informative about the most Egypt, its history and the story of the gods." Hermione raised her hand as Yugi picked on her,
"So, that wasn't an actual test?"
"No, it was to see where you all were at and where I need to teach or go over on what everyone was pretty weak on. However, if you would like me to tell you your score and get your test back, I shall do so after the class."
"Okay," Hermione smiled, "Thank you." Yugi then turned back to the board writing something down at a piece of balled up paper hit the back of his head. Turning towards a smirking Draco, Yugi sighed,
This was going to be a long class period…
Within the depth of darkness that rested within one's heart… a tall creature in a black cloak, with a snake wrapped around his neck, as the cloak hid most of the snake, beside her head. Lowering the hood of the silk like cloak, a pale skin, a chalk-white, skull-like face, snake-like slits for nostrils, red eyes and cat-like slits for pupils. His body was a skeletally thin body and long, thin hands with unnaturally long fingers which curled around the hood, as the pale man smiled,
"Voldemort… welcome…."
"I must thank you for welcoming me here… How is it going?"
"He's still fighting, but by the time they figure out what's wrong… it shall be too late."
"As only a Dark One could ever do…" There was a dry snorted,
"Be careful… I am death and everything that rains over it, do not try and use me for your own personal gain… I didn't help you return to your body just for you to 'not' do my biding. I gave you another chance at life and I can take it away,"
"I can assure you, I shall do what you ask, make anything you wish come true… what you wish of me…, when the time comes." Voldemort assured, a moment later he felt a curious glare thrown his way, never the less the feeling left a couple moments later.
"Very well… leave me." Voldemort bowed slightly as he moved back towards the other side of the shadows of which he entered, saying with a smile,
"Of course."
