Chapter 8
"It is alright Seamus, we understand," Harry said quickly as he placed a comforting brotherly hand on top of Neville's, "How about you just tell Neville and I about this strange object that everyone is all excited about?"
"Alright...to put it in basic terms the object on his arm is called a Duel Disk, created by a company in Japan in the muggle world called KaibaCorp...the machine allows a person to duel against someone else who also has a Duel Disk with giant monsters from the cards thanks to Holograms and..." Seamus paused as he spotted the look of confusion and basic understanding on Harry's face and the expression of utter confusion on Neville's face, "Thanks to some really good muggle technology you can bring the creatures on the cards to life but they will be a hundred of more times bigger...the creatures are...well I could say that they are a lot like the magical creatures in the magical world."
"It seems that the muggle world has some very interesting things in it...I wonder if Gran would let me go to this 'Japan' place to explore?" Neville wondered softly before an expression of bitter realisation crossed his face, "Ah...I think if I ever do get the chance it will happen without my Gran's knowing anything about it."
"I remember my...penpal explaining some of the basics to me through he only went over it all without going into too much depth," Harry said with a thoughtful expression on his face, " I wonder why Dudley never got into the game for...I remember my friend mentioning something about this duel disk but I think we got distracted...I always thought it would be a LOT bigger through..."
"Maybe it has something to do with the introduction manual?" Seamus suggested with a shrug of his shoulders, "I know with how thick the manual is and what with all the tiny long words and detailed instruction diagrams that it has put a lot of people off learning how to duel...most of the time people ask someone to teach them about Duel Monsters as it is easier and quicker..."
"Ah, that is why...Dudley will not read anything and he will not do any work," Harry replied with a look of understanding on his face, "Back when we went to the same Primary School I ended up doing all of his homework and sometimes even his work in class...I even have to do it still sometimes in the summer which is how I meet Seto."
"No offence Harry but your cousin is starting to remind me more and more of Goyle and Crabbe," Neville said with a quiet snort, "Lazy, not willing to work for anything, a bully, and will beat people up and threaten them to get his own way."
A small smile appeared on Harry's lips as he listened to Neville' words, "Ah, but there is one difference between my cousin and Malfoy's goons that makes my cousin all the more dangerous."
"Okay...how?" Seamus asked with a raised eyebrow, "I am not like some of those idiot purebloods who think that muggle's cannot hurt us just because we have magic, muggles have guns, technology and similar things on their side...but still...how can your cousin be more dangerous than Crabbe and Goyle?"
"It is simple...so simple that it is terrifying really," Harry replied softly as he quickly glanced over in Professor McGonagall's direction to make sure she did not hear them, "Unlike Crabbe and Goyle who needs orders from Malfoy or their parents or Snape to do anything Dudley can do things on his own...even if his brain is the size of a pea there has been reports that he holds some form of intelligent life inside his brain."
At Harry's words the trio broke out into snickers and laughter as they shot each other looks of happiness while trying to keep down their laughter so they would not get into trouble. Hearing angry muttering on the quiet table Seamus carefully allowed himself a glance at what was making the noise only to smirk slightly as he spotted Hermione glaring angrily at them while Ron was staring at Neville with an unreadable expression planted firmly on his face.
"It looks like you are in someone's bad books Harry," Seamus whispered softly as only a handful of first years was left to be sorted, "And it looks like someone might be finding their way into Ron's good books Neville."
With twin frowns on their faces Neville and Harry turned their heads and in the direction that Seamus was motioning to with his hand only to find Hermione glaring at them angrily while muttering bossily into Ron's ear. Ron it seemed was not listening to a word Hermione was saying, instead he had the same dreamy expression that he had in his eyes not long ago with his gazed pinned on Neville. The second year students and the nervous first year students that sat around them gave the two sixth year student's looks of pure terror.
"If I did not know any better I would say that the first years looks like they expect Hermione to eat them all," Seamus whispered softly with a smirk on his face, "I almost feel sorry for them...I wonder how long it will take until Hermione starts lecturing them all about proper study habits and what to do in their classes."
"If it was anything like how she was talking to Percy Weasley during the welcoming feast when we were all first years then I would be extremely afraid," Harry said slowly as he sent a pitying look to the first and second year students, "Some of the questions she asked...even Percy looked pale and was stuttering by the end of the feast."
"I remember that!" Neville cried out only to blush at the sharp look of disapprovement he gained from Professor McGonagall, "I remember Percy that night running away into his dorm room looking as if he had just seen a Dementor."
"Hey guys, it looks like that Headmaster Dumbledore is about to make an announcement before sorting the kid not wearing a school uniform," Dean hissed out as he cut into Neville's, Seamus' and Harry's conversation, "And it looks like there are three new teachers up on the teachers table this year too!"
'I wonder how come I never noticed the new teachers before?' Harry thought with a confused frown on his face as he turned away from the talk with his friends to face the teachers table 'I always seem to look at the teachers table first each year...I guess I do not have to worry about being attacked or stabbed in the back with these guys unlike with...Ron and Hermione so I...'
Shaking his head clear of any thought Harry turned his attention back to the teachers table to where Professor McGonagall was standing next to the stool and rolling up the parchment that held the list of first year student names while at Headmaster Dumbledore with a pointed expression on her face. Turning his attention to the Headmaster Harry could not help but to let out a low groan as he spotted the bright purple robes with neon red, yellow, green and blue stars that littered the Headmaster's robe...he even had a hat to match.
'Is it just me or is even the Headmaster's glasses seem to have a purplish tint to them?' Harry thought with a thrown as he watched the Headmaster stand up to make his announcement.
"Here we are at the start of another wonderful year once again, I am happy to see that even in these dark times we are standing together," Headmaster Dumbledore said as he looked over his half moon glasses at the students sitting below him, "Now I am sure you have all noticed the three new people sitting at the table with me and also the young man standing in the middle of the Great Hall."
The strange boy folded his arms and glared angrily at the aged Headmaster in turn which only caused the aged man to give a small chuckle at his reaction. At this exchange excited whispers broke out amongst the students in the Great Hall.
"May I introduce you to Mokuba Kaiba...he is the younger brother of Professor Seto Kaiba who will be teaching you all about Shadow magic...young Mr. Kaiba will not be sorted into a house...he will be taking part in the classes of different that interest him, which means he can appear in anyone's classes from first to seventh year, and he may chose to take part in the whole year of classes or just stay for one class...that is interlay up to Mr. Kaiba here," Headmaster Dumbledore said as the Great Hall broke out into excited whispers, "He is here to...sample our school and will be reporting back to the Japan Ministry of Magic on what his time was like here...and with a bit of luck we shall be starting something along the lines of a transfer student program soon but for now...if you may find a seat for the feast Mr. Kaiba?"
Harry watched and listened with wide eyes full of shock, surprise and a strange amount of happiness as the boy nodded his head and turned to face the Gryffindor table.
'I cannot believe that I did not look for Seto as soon as I entered the Great Hall' Harry thought as he scolded himself 'I guess I got distracted but still...'
Shaking his head to rid himself of his thoughts Harry felt his heart jump into his throat as the blue eyes of his best friend and penpal's, Seto Kaiba's, little brother landed on him. Without a second thought Mokuba Kaiba walked a determined and direct path towards the Gryffindor table, or more exactly towards Harry.
"It looks like he recognises you too Harry," Dean said with a playful smirk, "Guys, move aside for Kaiba to sit next to Harry."
Harry let out an embarrassed groan as he felt his whole face heat up as everyone shuffled about around him. Nervously looking up at Mokuba Harry let out a startled gasp when he found bright playful blue eyes staring at him.
"K-Kaiba...I did not realise you where that close, I am sorry," Harry stuttered out while trying to ignore the smirks and snickers from his fellow House Mates came to his ears, "It is nice to meet you, I am Har-"
"Harry James Potter, my big brother's current crush and penpal from England," Mokuba said with a smirk full of mischief as he slipped into the new space besides Harry, "Did you know that my brother always gets this silly look on his face after reading one of your letters that reminds me of a love sick puppy dog?"
