A/N: The hiatus is over!

Future warning: I know that Near and Ryuzaki shoud probably be in Ravenclaw, but I personally hate having to come up with OCs, so I will be putting everyne in a familiar setting for me to write.

The Hogwarts Express sped across the English countryside for its destination in Scotland. The golden trio, Ryuzaki, and Light were sitting within one of its carriages.

"So Ryuzaki," said Hermione, catching the Japanese man's attention, "you've never told us about how your life was in Japan. Do you have family there?"

"I lived in an orphanage for most of my life. I was never required to go to school since most of the children were smart enough without it," Ryuzaki explained in a monotone voice.

"Really? How did you all get so smart ?" asked Ron.

"Inbred natural talent."

Light scoffed quietly at that. While Ryuzaki's answers were truthful, Light could tell they were only making the trio more suspicious since he never answered their questions directly.

"How about you Light? I remember you saying something about being in University," asked Harry, not trusting either man fully.

"That's correct. I attended To-Oh University. That's where I met Ryuzaki. He, unfortunately, has yet to leave me alone since," explained Light, with a glare towards Ryuzaki.

"Now why would I want to do that? It would ruin the small amount of fun I receive," Ryuzaki rebuked without looking up from his lap.

"Yeah? Well, your type of fun is pissing me off!"

Ryuzaki stared at him. "This brings yourchances up by 5%."

The trio looked at him in confusion, but Light just glared while saying, "If getting mad at you constitutes for an upage in percentage, I'm suprised more people aren't suspected!"

"Watch your temper, Light. It's not anyone elses business how I judge someone's guilt, especially with our present company."

'Geez, I forgot about the brats. Well, why not ruin L's perfect little family?' thought Light with an internal grin.

"What's the problem with your brother and his close friends knowing what you do in Japan? It's not like you have anyone in this magic school who would even know you."

"Yeah, why can't we know?" argued Harry.

"Harry, maybe it's something private. Don't be rude!" whipsered Hermione.

"Come on, Hermione. No one ever tells us anything! This is the one time we can get answers on something suspicious diretly from the source!" whpsered Ron in return.

"I'm a private detective, currently working with Yagami-san and his team, to solve a serial killing," explained Ryuzaki, looking at Light the whole time.

Light looked suprised for a split second, then looked away indifferently.

"Gryffindor!"

The Gryffindor table cheered as Ryuzaki joined their ranks.

At first, the students were cautious about three new transfers showing up, but when Dumbledore explained their situations, the students welcomed them. Only some held some caution about the sudden appearence of Harry's brother, but were quickly convinced otheriwse by their fellow classmates.

Near had just been sorted before him, and was placed next to his 'brother' in Slytherin. He was busy playing with his fork and knife, because of his lack of toys avaliable.

Ryuzaki sat next Harry and intrduced himself to the curious Gryffindors.

"Yagami, Light!"

Ryuzaki automatically looked at Light sitting in the stool he had just vacated.

'How are you going to play this game, Light? As the caring friend, the studious student, or the true murderer we both know is lying just under your skin?'

Near sat next to his 'brother' as he watched L get sorted.

'The chances of this all being a coinsidence is extremely low. Someone must have planned this.'

"Come on, Near. Stop actig like a child! Your a Malfoy now with standards to uphold!" Draco whipsred to him, snapping him out of his daze.

Near looked down and realized he had been playing with his utensils out of bored. He sighed, wishing he had his toy soldiers with him to aleviate his boredom.

He put his head in his hands. 'Hopefully the food will come soon."

Light looked out towards the crowd of young minds, waiting to be moulded and protected by his vision for the world.

'Well, don't we think highly of ourself?'

Light looked around for the source of the voice, until he realized it was inside his head.

'Hello. Can you please just get this over with, Hat-san?'

'Smart one, eh? Well, you definetly aren't any Hufflepuff, and, although your highly intelligent, I don't think Ravenclaw is where you belong either. Slytherin could help with you with your goals for a peaceful utopia, but Gryffindor could help you get closer to Mr. Potter (he means L) and make true friends while also helping you with your goals. This is definitely one of my more difficult sortings. Now, where to put you...?'

A/N: I have two paths this story can take. You chose Light's house!
