AN:/ I'm really sorry about the wait guys. Life has decided to kick my arse to everywhere and back. And apologies about how short this chapter is. Its 2:17AM now and I really need sleep. This is actually the only time I might be able to post before Life comes back and KILLS me. Please read and review. So seriously, review. It doesn't matter if its Anonymous or not. Anything to boost my godforsaken mood.


A Memory and A New Brother

The morning came all to quickly for Harry. He carefully stretched and looked around his hospital room. Yugi had slept on the floor which made Harry flinch, knowing all to well what happened when he was on the floor last.

Harry was pushed into #4, Privet Drive by a giant purple... thing... Oh wait.. thats just his Uncle, Vernon Dursley. Suddenly, pain filled his back as his cousin violently sat on him, easily crushing four ribs from the 300 pound weight on him. Breathing heavily, the Boy-who-lived despreately tried to escape his tormentors, which proved impossible, until Dudley rolled off. Unfortunately for Harry, as soon as he stood up, Vernon pushed him back on the ground and pulled off his belt, bringing it down on his nephew's back, leaving a long mark across it. Harry gasped in pain as Vernon kept slamming the belt down, slashing blood across his back and around him. Eventually, Vernon threw the boy into his room leaving him on the floor to bleed to death.

The Boy-who-lived shivered at the memory. Slowly, and a little painfully, he got up and walked over to the door. As soon as he gripped the handle, someone grabbed his shoulder, making him freeze completely. He slowly turned around and saw that it was Yugi.

"Harry? Are you ok enough to be up and about?" Yugi asked with concern filling his voice. Harry simply nodded.
"Harry... I saw what happened... to your wrists..." Harry gasped here, hiding his head, despreately wanting to dissipear from the world. "And I wanted to tell you that, no matter what, your family now. You can tell me anything and I won't judge you... Little brother."

"Little... brother?" A tear threatened to fall out of his eye. He.. considers me family? Harry nods happily and pulls Yugi in an embrace. Even though he is somewhat surprised at this action, Yugi hugs back.

You made the right choice saying that Yugi.

I can't believe it Yami... How could anyone... injure a child this badly?

The world is full of monsters Yugi, and not all of them are inside of cards.

Yugi nodded, and gestured toward the door, after letting go of his new brother.

Soon, the brothers would compete in the Battle City finals. After the Boy-Who-Lived got another locator card, that is.


AN:/ So? Did someone feel somewhat sorry for Harry? Or glad about his having a new family? And Guess who's going to show up in the finals? I'll give you some options.

A: Luna
B: Snape
C: Some member of the Order
D:VOLDEMORT
E: Hermione
F: Cedric

P.S. If you pick Cedric, I will slap you. ;) Also, If you choose to pick, at least give them a type of deck they will be using. Like Spellcaster, Zombie, Pyro,Etc.

Please review, but no flames, because they make cute things die. See? No flaming has happened yet. That's because everyone likes cute things. EVERYONE. MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
