"I can't believe he's still got the attitude after all this time...," Yugi groaned, plopping down onto his bed in the dormitory.
"Well Yug, it's not da attitude I'm worried about, it's dat look in his eyes when he mentioned winning the Cup this year," Joey added before landing facefirst on the floor next to him.
Harry let out a slight hiss as he eased himself onto his own bed. Oliver Wood, the Quidditch Captain for the Gryffindor House, had welcomed his players back to school and as soon as the greetings were done, he began a rough training regimen for the whole group.
A few minutes after the trio began to relax, Ron came into the room, a large grin on his face. Harry looked up at him, "What's up, Ron?". The red-haired wizard grinned wider, "First Hogsmeade weekend coming up! This is gonna be good!".
"Damn straight!"
Ron turned to see Fred and George enter the common room, wearing identical smirks. Fred jumped onto Joey, who yelped into his matress, and put his hands behind his head, "First thing I'm gonna do is go to Zonko's. I need more Stink Pellets,".
With a growl, Joey shifted his body out from under Fred and kicked him off the bed, "What's Zonko's?" he asked irritably. George decided to answer as his twin rubbed his head, "It's a store in Hogsmeade made entirely for the purpose of the practical joker and pranker in us all,".
Joey's and Yugi's eyes met, both of them thinking the exact same thing.
Mokuba plus prank shop plus Weasley Twins equals a hell of a lotta trouble...
"Something wrong?" Ron asked, looking at the two Japanese duelists.
Joey nodded as he looked at his Quidditch teammate, "We. Cannot. Tell. Mokuba," he said slowly.
"WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! ZONKER'S HERE I COME!" a scream echoed from the common room.
"Too late, mate," Fred and George said in unison.

While everyone else left for Hogsmeade on Halloween morning, Kaiba found himself wandering the halls of the school, his fingers running along the Millenium Rod in his pocket. Ever since that incident on the train, the images of the Dementor and his past with his evil sonofabitch stepfather, Gozaburo Kaiba.
That bastard made my childhood a living hell. No, not just my childhood...but Mokuba's. Whenever I didn't do exactly as he wanted, he would threaten to hurt Mokuba. Hurt him or send him away forever...
/Trouble with the past, hikari?/ Set's voice popped into his head.
Kaiba growled, "Set...what did I tell you?" he asked aloud, earning questioning looks from nearby paintings of witches.
/Hey, don't get defensive on me, YOU'RE the one who failed to keep your thoughts off the mindlink/
"What do you want, Set?"
/Well, to be honest, I'd like to know more about what's going on with you. I'm out here in the chilly courtyard, watching decorations and pumpkins being dragged in by Hagrid, and the next thing I know, I'm hearing you go off about your stepfather. Was he really that horrible to you and Mokuba?/
"You have no idea, Set. The beatings, the threats, the fear of losing my little brother...,"
/What happened as you got older?/
"Kicked his ass in a business move and took over his company," Kaiba replied with a smirk, "Paybacks a bitch...,".
/And then he almost took your body over in another world I see.../
Kaiba's eye twitched, "Ok, now you're just spying on my thoughts,"
/Hey, I need SOME material to work with/
"Kaiba!"
The teenage CEO turned to see Harry walk up to him. He frowned slightly at the additional company, "What are you doing here, Harry? Thought you'd be out with the others," he greeted quietly, shutting off the mind-link.
"I can't go...my slip didn't get signed and McGonagall won't sign it, so I'm stuck here,"
"Hm...I see,"
"Why aren't you with Mokuba?"
"He's got the Twins with him...besides, I got a lot of things on my mind right now,"
Harry smirked a little, "Set still prodding every now and then?"
Kaiba stopped and looked at him, "How did you know...how does anybody know when I'm doing that?" he asked exasperatedly. Harry chuckled as the two of them walked down the halls, "Kaiba, I'm friends with Yugi, Ryou, and Malik remember? You're not the only one who has another half...I've seen that glazed look in your eye whenever Set's talkin' to you," he explained.
Damn...another thing I've got to talk to that doppleganger of mine about Kaiba sighed mentally.

The Halloween Feast that night was superb, even by the more Halloween enthusiastic students' standards. The school's ghosts were gliding in an out of the building perfoming different 'acrobatic' stunts, while even some of the student body dressed up in costume, despite that most everyone just wore their robes.
Mokuba decided to dress up like the Crow, so he had black eyeliner and a pale face, along with a pair of leather pants that he borrowed from Malik and a leather shirt that he borrowed from Yami. He was going around looking somewhat gothic, but very cool to some of the girls.
Bakura and Serenity decided to go with a couple's costume idea. Bakura dressed up like the Phantom of the Opera, while Serenity dressed up as Christina Daae, so now when they had the chance, they were both singing different songs from the movie that came out not too long ago.
(Author's Note: That Phantom reference is for a good friend of mine...Dragon's-maidens. MWAHAHAHAHAHA)
Joey decided to go as Sanji from One Piece, so he combed his hair over one side of his face, wore a black suit with boots and a light blue undershirt. Even though he would get scolded at, he would try to perform some of the signature moves that the kicking cook would pull off in the anime.
While they had spent their first few Halloweens at Hogwarts in their normal attire, Kirsty and Kyra decided to dress up special. Kirsty had dressed up like the Dark Magician Girl, complete with the outfit, hat, and even the staff. Ryou smiled at his friend, he knew the kind of deck she loved using and knew that the Dark Magician Girl was one of her favorite monsters.
Kyra...however...decided to don a more seducing ensemble. Since she and her sister were both fans of anime, she decided to dress up like one of the girls from the anime He Is My Master. Every boy that saw her drooled waterfalls as she walked around in a revealing maid's costume. Joey made an innocent comment at her, and the next thing he knew, he was on the floor after Kyra punched him in the face, calling him a pervert.
Brian decided to just wear a black trenchcoat, with matching pants and shirt. Mokuba asked him who or what he was supposed to be, because there was no real clue as to what it was. Brian looked at him as he took a drink of his pumpkin juice, "Nick Fury," he said simply before looking around.
Malik and Marik to try something interesting, especially for them. Since Battle City and their lives become...normal if you will, they too, got into all sorts of anime. So for Halloween, Malik decided to dress up like Inuyasha while Marik decided to dress up like Sesshomaru. Brian shook his head, smiling slightly at the two of them.
Set's costume, didn't really surprise people, seeing as he was a duelist, just like his Light. He was dressed in bone-covered armor and a cape flowing behind him. "Dragons...bow down before your Lord!" he cried out, holding up a Flute of Summoning Dragon. He pressed the flute against his lips and a light melody flew around the room. Almost immediately, three Blue Eyes White Dragons appeared above everyone else, roaring and scaring the daylights out of them. At the staff table, Dumbledore rose from his chair and clapped happily at the sight that was before the student body.
Yami decided to be a little more original and dressed up like Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy. With a giant foam sword, black vest with an armored shoulder, and baggy black pants, finished off with his spikey hair, made him look just like Cloud...save that he didn't have blonde-blonde hair.
Mokuba wandered over to the Slytherin table and plopped down next to Noa, who neglected to dress up. He glanced at the Slytherin's glaring at him, but ignored them, "Noa, you see Seto?". The green-haired Kaiba shook his head, "Sorry, Mokie, I haven't. In fact, I haven't seen him all day,".
"Hm...wonder if he's up in his dorm room,"
"If he is, you can't get in since you're not a Ravenclaw," Noa pointed out as he popped a piece of chocolate in his mouth, "So, the password and location of the dorm is out of your reach. Nice costume by the way...the Crow?".
Mokuba grinned as he moved his bangs out of his eyes, "Yeah, you know the movies? Saw them back in Domino thanks to Brian's movie collection,". Noa shook his head, smirking, "It's definitely you, Mokie,".
As the two younger Kaibas talked, Brian sat at the edge of the Gryffindor Table furthest away from the center of the Great Hall. As much as he loved Halloween, even though he had dressed up for the occasion, he wasn't in the mood to celebrate with the rest of the others.
"You can at least join in, mate,"
"Yeah, Brian, come on!"
He turned around and almost broke out into a fit of laughter. Yugi was dressed as Yami in the ancient past as Pharaoh, and Ryou was dressed as Bakura the Thief King from the same time period.
"What is this...when times collide?" he cracked, taking his goblet of pumpkin juice from the table. Ryou shrugged and looked down at his red robes, "I thought it'd be a nice change of pace. To be honest, I was sick and tired of the ol' Change of Heart routine...,".
"Well it suits you...you even got the scar under your eye. Latex and movie makeup?"
"Nah, just a little Trace Charm,".
"Uh...guys, could you leave...I'd like to talk to Brian alone?".
The three of them turned and their jaws hit the floor. Tea wore a tight, light blue tube top with a pretty short black skirt and knee-high brown boots. Yugi grabbed Ryou by the sleeve and led him away while Tea sat down next to Brian.
"Nice costume...Marvel character?"
"Yep, Nick Fury. Jill Valentine?"
"You know you're game characters,".
"Hey, I got Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and I've seen Apocalypse. What do you need, Tea?".
She leaned in close to him and kissed him on the neck. His face turned red a little and pulled back, "Uh...Tea, what are you-," he was cut off as she moved from his neck to his mouth. After a few moments of kissing, she pulled back and winked at him, "I miss this just as much as you do, Brian. Please come back...," she whispered in his ear.
Brian sat in silence as Tea waited for an answer. After a few minutes, she sighed, "Well it was worth a shot...," she muttered, walking away. Brian mouthed a string of curse words and grabbed his goblet once more. He was about to take a drink when he poured the remaining cold juice onto his lap.
"Baka...,"
"HEY LEGGO!"
He turned to see McGonagall leading Kyra out of the Great Hall, a large cloak wrapped around the teenagers shoulders, covering her costume. She was being escorted out of the Great Hall for the skimpy costume, but before she was pulled from sight, she held up her fingers in a V sign.
"...oooook,"

After the Halloween Party, the Gryffindors were headed back to the common room when something ahead made them stop. There was a large crowd of Gryffindor students ahead of Yugi and the others, and they were talking excitedly about something.
Joey hopped up and down, "I can't see anything! What's going on?". Mokuba folded his arms,"I bet they changed the password and no one bothered to tell us,". Brian frowned, "I don't think so...I'll be right back," he said quietly before stepping forward and merging with the crowd.
A few moments later, they heard Percy's voice ring out, "Someone get Professor Dumbledore!". Tea and Yugi looked each other worriedly. If this thing needed Dumbledore and made Percy sound like that, it must be serious.
Almost immediately, Dumbledore appeared and swept through the crowd. The students moved to the side, giving everyone else a clear view of the cause of the excitement. Tea put a hand to her mouth while the boys' eyes went huge. The painting that held the Fat Lady, the password keeper of Gryffindor, had long gashes in it.
"Someone go and find the Fat Lady immediately!" Dumbledore ordered sharply.
"You'll be lucky!" a cackling voice reached their ears. Everyone looked up to see Peeves the Poltergeist floating above them, a large grin on his face. Dumbledore frowned, "What do you mean, Peeves?".
The spirit's grin disappeared almost instantly. He may be a smart-ass to everyone else, but he would never mouth off or taunt Dumbledore. He rubbed his spectral hands together, "Ashamed, she is, your Headship. Saw her running through the landscape on the fourth floor, ducking behind the trees, yelling her head off about him,".
"About who, Peeves? What happened?"
"The Fat Lady wouldn't let him in, without the password, Professorhead. He got angry and slashed the painting with a large knife he did," his grin returned, "I feel sorry for the Fat Lady...having to deal with a short-tempered outlaw, that Sirius Black,"
