Before the aurors and Ryou went inside the leaky cauldron, Ryou pulled out his wand and quickly cleaned the blood from his hair and clothes with a simple charm "you should be a bit cleaner with killing, don't you think?"
He heard the spirit scoff but didn't really pay attention to it as he was directed inside and they were bombarded with dozens of questions from the other wizards.
Ryou sighed and somehow managed to sneak past the people un noticed, something the spirit had probably leaked trough to him. He walked to the counter and smiled at Tom "My book please?"
The bar keeper smiled at Ryou as he saw him and fished the book from underneath the counter. "I'm glad you're okay, not everyone is as brave as you are. Tea?"
Ryou nodded "yes please, mind bringing it to my table?" "Not at all". Ryou nodded and walked past the crowd of wizards and felt his hand do a few un intentional dives in people's pockets. "Did you do this or am I starting to pick up your habits?"
The spirit just grumbled something from his soul room and then closed his soul room's door. Yes, Ryou was learning bad habits. He was about to sit down when he noticed the big family of red heads sitting at his table, looking at him warily.
"I'm sorry, usually this table is empty. I'll go find another one". Something in his behavior seemed to wake the woman's motherly instings because she invited him to stay with them.
"Oh no dear. We don't mind if you stay here with us, this must be a horrible experience for you". Ryou just smiled friendlily at the plump woman and replied. "I think I will manage Mrs. This isn't the first time something like this has happened".
Suddenly Ryou remembered something, the kids on the alley and how the red haired one looked so much like these red heads. How to tell them that he's okay?
"I'm sorry for my rudeness so far, you have accepted me in your company without really knowing me at all. My name is Ryou Bakura and I will be teaching at Hogwarts this coming term".
The Family's eyes widened and two girl children, other clearly not a member of the family if the brown hair was any indication, quickly asked "what subject?"
Ryou blinked a few times to appear couth off guard and said "The defense against the dark arts, why?" All the people around the table gasped "but you're so young."
Ryou just shook his head "Please Mrs. I can take care of myself. And I know of the "curse" over the position so nothing to worry about, I'm actually quite exited to be a cursed teacher".
"Why would that be?" The father of the three children present asked. "I have somehow managed to turn all curses directed at me around so far, and so I have very little first hand experience of curses like these. So I have very little material for a book I'm intending to write about curses and such".
While Ryou was speaking with the father of these children the supposed mother asked the two older boys if they had seen Ronald or Harry yet. "Excuse me for interrupting your conversation Mrs. But do you have more children than these three?"
The woman nodded a bit wary of Ryou's sudden interest in her children "yes, why?" Ryou just shook his head and tried to ease the woman's suspicions of him. "No reason really, I just thought that I had seen a red haired boy on the alley during the attack".
The woman shrieked and the others began to yell at him, it all sounded like nonsense because they were all yelling different things. This cacophony of voices just didn't sit well with the spirit so he let quite a lot of his anger flood trough their mental link to Ryou.
Ryou was a bit afraid of the anger that flooded him but he couldn't bring himself to care all that much at that moment. The shadows around him went wild and caused some gusts of wind that played with Ryou's hair and clothes a bit. It didn't help at all that his eyes flashed momentarily red because of the spirit's influence.
Ryou stood up from the chair he had sat on and slammed his palm on to the table effectively quieting the whole pub, and gathering scared and worried glances to his direction from everyone inside.
"Just because I saw him doesn't mean I killed him, for crying out loud! Even if I was in the middle of my own duel at that moment didn't stop me from lending them some help!" Ryou gathered his book from the table.
"Now I'm sorry to leave in such a hurry, but I'll go to my room before I take my anger out on you. Forgive me". Ryou turned around where he stood and disappeared in to the staircase, walking straight to his room where he fought the urge to slam the door behind him.
/"Quite the show yadounshi. I really thought that you would send someone to the shadow realm"/. "Not now, I'm not in the mood for you now". /"That's too bad"/ the spirit chuckled evilly /"Because I'm in the mood for you"/.
Ryou's eyes widened as the shadows in his room quickly crossed the floor to him and started to climb up his legs. "No don't!" Ryou yelled in slight panic.
It really was thanks to the spirit and these moments in particular that had helped him with his control over the shadow magic and reaction speed. But he really didn't want to deal with this now.
Ryou whimpered pitifully as he tried to fight the shadows off himself. They were so cold, but at the same time they held an air of nostalgia and a warmth that was un natural, they were begging for him to let go and go with them.
"I don't want to…" Ryou tried to argue but the shadows quickly spun themselves around him and up his neck, causing him to shiver from the contact. /"I never asked for your opinion, watashino futago no tamashii. Saa, koko ni oide!"/
With the spirit's firm but somehow gentle words, Ryou sighed and closed his eyes, letting himself fall with the shadows to where the spirit was waiting for him all ready.
This is a rough translation, please inform me if I have it wrong
Watashino futago no tamashii = my twin soul
Saa, koko ni oide = now, come here
