*Eyes Of Astaria*
Chapter 9 - I'm sooooo Evil
Last Time in Eyes of Astaria
Everyone paid for their wands and made their exit in a hurry, thus the reason they did not notice the cloaked figure entering the store.
"I need a new wand." The figure hissed handing their wand to Ollivander.
"Ah but the wand chooses the wizard. I cannot give you another unless your own is…" Ollivander stopped talking taking a step back as the figure pulled their hood off.
And now the thrilling conclusion… or not :D
___
"I've been put under a curse of some sort. The wand I had when I was... It doesn't work now." Fiona gasped out trying to say her real name.
"Well then... let's try... Winter King Hawthorn, dragon heartstring and unicorn hair dual core 11 inches." Ollivander smiled knowingly as he handed the wand over.
A wave and an image of who Fiona used to be flickered over her. Ollivander frowned at the success and as the wand was paid for and Fiona left the store a feeling of foreboding swept the old man.
"Never have I had to give two wands to a person before. But perhaps this new one will better serve him... err... her... My that's confusing." Ollivander muttered returning to the back of his store.
However foolish Ollivander was at times he knew something was happening and began to dictate to one of his quills a letter to a certain Professor.
Meanwhile
"Look Yami a falcon, ohhh and a Hawk. Can we get one?" I asked almost squealing with excitement as I stared into the pet shop window.
"We already have Bastet(1) Aibou. Wouldn't you rather get an ice cream?" Yami answered chuckling slightly.
"Yay! Ice cream!" Mokuba squealed in delight hanging off his brothers arm almost.
"Come on then we'll go to Florene Fortesques." Harry called to us motioning for the group to follow.
A few shops looked abandoned and there were wanted posters on the walls, disturbingly Yami noted that the pictures moved. Shivering as we passed them one caught my eye. A fat toad of a woman in pink. Wanted for torturing students and being inhumane. Harry glared at the picture rubbing his hand slightly before pulling something out of his pocket to look at it. It was a duel monsters card.
"Hey Harry. I didn't know you played Duel Monsters. What card do you have?" I asked ignoring the foreboding feelings around me.
"I don't play… Astaria gave me this card and well I have Fornels card." Harry told me handing me the card with a frown.
The card was Reborn the Monster. At this I looked from Harry to the card thoughtfully. 'Astaria wouldn't have given him the card unless it has some use to him. Considering the powers item bearers have maybe…
"Harry. Is there someone close to you who you would want to bring back?" I asked slowly.
"There are many people who I would want to bring back." Harry sighed looking forlorn as he pocketed the card.
"Well… Astaria may have given you that card for a reason. We'll talk to you about this back at the castle." Yami interrupted as we arrived at the ice cream parlor.
Two hours later
"Thank Ra they're down." Bakura muttered as I clung sleepily to Yami.
We'd come back to the castle eating our ice creams which shortly after being consumed caused a massive sugar rush, causing myself, Mokuba, Ryou, Malik, Marik and Laura to miraculously climb walls. Ryou and I had ended up on one of the chandeliers singing some random song. Yami carried me up to our room and I curled against him. Slowly I drifted off only to wake on my bed in my soul room.
"Aibou." Yami murmured holding me here as well.
"Hai. Thanks Yami." I replied shifting from his arms hesitantly.
"Today was fun Yugi. Although I have to admit you scared me being up there with Ryou on the chandelier." Yami told me ruffling my hair slightly.
"Sorry Yami… You know how I get when I'm hyper, that's why you used to take over after desert." I laughed smiling.
"Heh yes I do. What do you think of these new people we're around Yugi? Do you think they're trustworthy?" Yami asked slightly serious but his eyes were dancing.
"I think we can trust them for the most part… But not the old man… He may be Grandpa's old friend but he just gives me that creepy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Harry on the other hand…." I replied trailing off with a slight smile.
"Ah yes another Item wielder, although he only has half of one, I assume he can still use shadow powers to a certain extent but will be VERY inexperienced in it. I'm thinking Astaria gave him monster reborn to bring back one of the people he has lost because of this 'war'. I asked your Grandfather about it and apparently there are those in the wizarding community, a group, who use 'dark' magic to commit crimes against non-magical people because they believe wizards are superior… Which I must say is preposterous. They're being led by the 'Dark Lord' Astaria told you about." Yami explained thoughtfully.
"But Yami… Isn't the shadow realm dark magic?" I asked pulling my knees up to my chest.
"Not at all. Shadow magic is a mixture of Light and Dark. Because only with Light can there be a shadow. It's more… Grey magic. Besides magic, whether it be light or dark can have various uses. Much like weapons. For instance a doctor uses a scalpel to operate on a person to make them better. But give that same scalpel to a murderor and they could kill someone with it. It's not the weapon people should concentrate on, but the ones wielding them." Yami laughed petting me on the head softly.
"They won't see it that way though. I don't think we can let them know about us. From what I've heard people have been controlled by evil wizards in this war. I don't think they'd react lightly to possession even if you're not doing it anymore." I whispered frowning.
"Ahh I see… you're worried about me hikari?" Yami murmured wrapping his arms around me comfortingly.
"Hai. I don't want you to be taken away Yami. Not after all we've been through." I muttered smiling at the warmth of my Yami.
"I won't be taken away. I promise. Now my little hikari… We have a visitor in the form of a certain wizard." Yami smiled bringing us back to the real world where we were in the same position as in my soul room.
Harry was standing at the door looking confused and slightly lost. He was gazing at us with a faraway look in his eyes, the monster reborn card in his hand.
"Hey Harry." I greeted him cheerfully.
"Oh hey Yugi, Yami. Sorry I didn't want to bother you while you were resting." Harry replied looking sheepish as he snapped out of his daydreaming.
"Nah that's ok. I guess you want to know about the card?" I asked as he sat on the corner of the bed.
"Well yea… Astaria gave me this card as an early birthday present and a note saying 'Sorry about Sirius. Maybe this will help when you meet the others.' Did she mean you as the others?" Harry explained handing the card and note to us.
"It's because of the eye she gave you Harry. You have what's called Shadow Magic which can sometimes be used to do extraordinary things. I think perhaps Astaria wants you to be happy and wants to help by bringing someone back that you lost. Not by herself but through your own new powers." Yami told Harry in his calm, deep, soothing voice that made me melt slightly.
"So… you're saying this card can bring people back to life? How?" Harry asked slowly.
"I'll show you… Not by bringing anyone back from the dead… I'm not entirely sure if that's possible but you may have been given a special card by Astaria." Yami explained frowning slightly as he took the Dark Magician from our deck.
Holding it in the air he summoned his shadow magic and as both our puzzles took on an unnatural glow the Dark Magician appeared bowing to Yami and I before vanishing.
"Wow. Who was that?" Harry asked staring at Yami and myself in awe.
"It was the Dark Magician. Our favorite duel monster card. Now only shadow magic can truly make the cards 'alive' but back in Japan we have advanced hologram technology for muggles who want to play the game realistically. Shadow magic is rare and can only be wielded by those who have a Millennium Item or a strong connection to the past where duel monsters really came from." I explained as Yami put the card back in our deck shuffling it quickly before putting the deck back where it was suppose to be.
"But isn't duel monsters just a muggle game?" Harry asked staring at the card in his hand.
"No. It was once played by ancient Egyptian sorcerers around 5000 years ago. They used real magic, real monsters and it caused so much destruction that the games were sealed away." Came a sad voice from the door.
Me: Oh snap another cliffy!
Astaria: Why must you torture them so?
Me: Cause I can
Fei: Come on… Just let them have another little bit…
Astaria: At least get it to the point where something else happens…
Me: Fine but I'm still going to end it on a cliffhanger… an even worse one than this…
Bakura: What have they done? o.O
"Maya?" I whispered frowning as her hair flicked slightly revealing the Millennium Eye which disturbingly enough had once graced the face of Pegasus.
"Hello Yugi Motou, you too Yami Atemu… And of course Harry Potter." Maya nodded courteously at Yami and myself before glaring at Harry.
"Hey Maya. Where's Laura?" Harry asked nervously.
"Far away from you and all other creepy perverted males." Maya growled sounding almost… dare I say manly. [AN: well she is technically a he stuck in a girls body… why can't she sound manly?]
"Umm are you ok Maya?" I asked tentatively.
"I'm fine Yugi-boy." Maya replied imitating Pegasus.
"That's getting kinda creepy." Yami commented dryly.
"Not as creepy as you think it is… Now back to Harry. I suggest you try using the monster reborn card… summon your magic and call the cards name before calling out who you want to bring back. I'm off to visit a certain tomb robber so I can have a conversation with someone who actually remembers things. Smell ya later." Maya told us before making a quick exit. [AN: Maya kinda seems to have a mood swing here… Weird… though not if you think about it...]
Harry stared after her in silence before standing and looking at the card with determination. I could feel the shadows gathering to him and as he held up the card I felt the magic swirling towards it.
"Monster Reborn Sirius Black" Harry gasped out clutching his eye with one hand and the card with the other.
Me: Perhaps I'll end it here…
Fei: Oh god please noooo!
Me: Well if you're gonna start calling me god then I suppose I'll have to continue…
Astaria: Just get on with it…
Meanwhile
[AN: Bwahahahaha! And you thought I was going to let you see if it worked or not… Next chapter. As for now we see Maya's POV.]
I stalked down the hallway and knocked on the tomb robbers door.
"Yo kitten boy. Open the door baka." I growled resisting the urge to slice through the door with my concealed katana.
The door opened and a pissed looking tomb robber glared at me. He pointed at the bed where his hikari was sleeping, put a finger to his lips then exited the room shutting the door silently behind him. We began walking down the hall and as soon as we got to a certain point we began talking.
"I know I recognize you from somewhere but I can't remember any females who looked like you from back in Egypt…" Bakura told me as we sat across from each other in one of the alcoves.
"That's not surprising. The Pharaoh has forgotten everything the foolish boy… You seem to have retained some of your memories. Both of you retained your looks too. Hmm… tell me… do you feel at ease around me?" I asked smirking slightly as I took my katana from it's hiding place.
"Yes but… Oh my Ra…" Bakura looked into my face closely before leaning back and running a hand through his hair pulling a dagger from his belt but not before I made my move.
"5000 years has made you rusty old friend. Figured out who I am yet Kuri?" I asked grinning broadly as I put the tip of the blade under his skin.
"You… you're…" Bakura whispered his eyes wide as he stared at the Millennium Eye.
Me: *laughs maniacally*
Fei: Oh my god!
Yami: I didn't think it was possible...
Bakura: She... ended it on a double cliffhanger!
Ryou: And you got beaten by a girl.
Me: Yea... well technically.
Bakura: Please I beg of you!!! Review so I can get out of this situation!
(1) - Yugi's kitten. They named it Bastet.
[AN: Sorry if any characters seem OOC but it's been a while since I've watched YuGiOh and read Harry Potter. BTW people I'm on vacation for another week so get your reviews in before then and I can post another chapter before going back to school.]
