---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After being woken up by Peeves the Poltergeist, in a very rude way mind you, Harry sat quietly on his bed, looking at Crookshanks who had managed to creep into the boys dormitories. Crookshanks was Hermiones dear pet, but recently, Ron had begun to hate him.
For some strange reason, everytime Scabbers came into the cats line-of-sight, the feline would go nuts and try to kill him. Harry had tried going back to sleep, but besides the raging storm outside, his mind was too preoccupied with today's Quidditch match.
Hufflepuff was going to be a fierce opponent today and Oliver had put the entire team through rigorous and exhausting sessions. Hopefully it would pay off...
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Harry decided to get out of bed and get dressed into his robes. While he did, he kept glancing at Crookshakes who seemed to be looking at him in a very strange way...as if he were trying to stare him down in a contest.
"You are a very creepy cat...," he muttered before walking down the stairs to the common room. The common room's fireplace was lit and a figure was sitting on the couch. After his eyes adjusted to the light, Harry could see it was Brian sitting nearby.
He was about to call out in a low voice when he stopped to see that Brian was going through his Duel Monster deck, flipping over cards and seperating them while his hands were covered in a dark aura.
Brian sighed and leaned back, hand over his eye, "Aw man...will it be enough?". Harry approached the lone duelist, "Enough for what, Brian? You got a big duel planned?" he asked. Brian looked up at the newcomer, "Somewhat...jeez, Harry, you've got quiet feet. Maybe you should take Bakura up on his thief lessons...,"
"Maybe...so who are you dueling against?" Harry asked, sitting down across from him. Brian folded his arms, "Someone I need to duel...that's all you need to know Harry," he muttered. Harry frowned, "Uh...ok. Well...today's the match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff...shouldn't you get Joey and Yugi ready?"
Brian checked the clock, "It's not even dawn yet, Harry...I think we've got time," he replied, "What are you doing up so damn early, anyway?"
"Peeves woke me up...bugger...," he shook her head in an annoyed way.
Brian chuckled, "Yeah well...he's nothing compared to some of the other spirits my friends and I have dealt with,"
"Hmm...maybe you and the others could tell us all about it, eh?"
"Maybe...,"
Harry yawned and tapped his knees a few times, "Well I guess I'm gonna get going. Be sure that you and the others are on the field later. Last thing we need is Wood complaining about lack of team strength...,"
Brian watched as Harry made his way to the portrait hole, "I'll do that, Harry. Watch your back ok?" he called out. Harry nodded and pushed open the door, making Sir Codagen, the replacement portrait rather irritable.
"Stand and fight you mangy cur!"
"SHUT UP!" both Harry and Brian yelled at the extremely annoying portrait.
-----
Later that day, it was a disaster outside. Rain and harsh winds covered the field. The rain was pelting everything so hard, making the ground extremely slippery with mud while the wind was so damn strong, it made everyone tilt to the side.
Needless to say, Wood didn't like these weather conditions one bit. Then again, no one outside did like the weather. Yugi, Joey, Harry and Brian were wrapped tightly in their Quidditch robes, trying to keep the cold out of their systems.
"It's alright, Oliver, we don't mind a little rain!" Angelina said calmly, patting Wood on the back.
Despite the weather, everyone in the castle had come out to watch the match. Even Mokuba had managed to drag Kaiba away from the library and his studies to watch. Kaiba blew on his hands to keep them warm and he lightly glared at his little brother, whose black mane was blowing wildly in the wind, "You...are...in...trouble," he shivered.
Mokuba grinned and tied his hair into a long ponytail to keep his bangs from blowing into his eyes, "It's worth it though, Seto,"
Madam Hooch made it onto the field, dressed in appropriate weather attire, her broom over her shoulder, "Hufflepuff Team and Gryffindor Team, mount your brooms!".
"Guess we're sitting this one out so far," Yugi sighed as he, Joey and Brian plopped down in the sheltered team area. Joey yawned, "Well I just hope we get some action...otherwise, I'm gonna snap,"
Yugi watched as Harry and his other teammates dodged the Hufflepuffs while they tried to stay afloat in th air, "Actually, I think we should just be glad that we're sitting this out," he told his friend as the scores began to rack up.
After sometime, Harry landed, soaked from head to toe, followed by his other teammates. "You ok, Harry?" Joey asked, walking up to his friend. Harry frowned as he wiped his glasses, "I can't see well, the rain keeps fogging up my glasses,"
"Here, lemme help," Hermione snatched his glasses away and tapped them, "Impervius!"
She handed the pair of glasses back to their owner, "Here, now you won't have trouble seeing. That spell will keep the rain repelled," she informed him. Wood stared at her like she was the Messiah of Quidditch.
Tea giggled and patted Hermione on the shoulder, "Nice touch, Hermy," she whispered. "Thanks," Hermione whispered back. Oliver nodded and clapped his hands, "Ok team, let's get back out there!".
-----
In the stands, Mokuba was clapping his hands hard as he watched the match continue. He looked over at his brother, who wasn't looking so well. "You ok, Seto?" he asked, concerned for his brother. Kaiba nodded and placed his head on his brother's head, "Yes, I'm fine, Mokie. Just feeling a little odd. Probably the weather. See, this is why I stay inside when it's like this!"
"You saying it's my fault? Excuse me...,"
"Mokie, I'm not saying it's your fault, I just--,"
"It's just what, Seto?" Mokuba asked, eyes never leaving the field.
The reply he recieved was silence from his older brother. That wasn't like him. Mokuba turned back to Kaiba and noticed that he had fallen to the floor, very pale and hardly moving.
"SETO!"
Immediately, he knelt down and began to shake his brother, "C'mon, Seto this isn't funny! What's wrong?' he pleaded, fear and worry beginning to sink in.
Gasps from all around him made Mokuba look up to see Harry falling through the air as a pack of Dementors came at him. "Aw man...," Mokuba started to shake Kaiba again, "C'mon...wake up Seto!".
-----
"So he fell just like Harry?"
"Yeah, it was weird. He didn't look too good and he just fell over. I think he's got pneumonia or something,"
"No, it's not that...,"
"Well what is it then?"
"Calm down, Mokuba...,"
"Don't tell me to calm down, Brian! He's my brother so just bite my ass!"
"Mr Kaiba, watch your language!"
Kaiba groaned as he opened his eyes. His vision was blurred and he could see a few forms standing around him. He blinked a few times and found himself lying in an infirmary bed, surrounded by Mokuba, Brian, Tea and Professor McGonagall.
"What happened...why am I here?" he groaned, sitting up slowly. Mokuba was about to launch himself at Kaiba, but was held back by Brian. Tea looked at him, "You collapsed on the Quidditch Field, Kaiba...what happened?"
Kaiba grunted and looked away to see Harry in a nearby bed surrounded by his friends and teammates, "What happened to him?" he asked, changing the subject. Brian frowned, but cleared his throat, "He fell off his broom when a group of dementors invaded the field and attacked him,"
"He ok?"
"Oh he's fine. Luckily the ground was really soft and Dumbledore did something that made the dementors fly away. I don't know what he did...but something white came out of his wand and they just got their asses out off the field really fast," Mokuba explained with a shrug.
Kaiba looked at Mokuba, "Don't curse," he said quietly, looking back at Harry. "Oi, Harry. Since I couldn't see it...you win the match?".
Silence filled the room and he knew what that meant. Gryffindor had lost the match...most likely due to the fact that Harry fell off his broom. For some strange reason, Kaiba had to feel like he had to do something he very rarely did.
"Well...least you're ok right?"
Brian, Yugi, Joey, Mokuba and Tea stared at Kaiba with great astonishment. This was definitely not like Kaiba to be like this.
Harry chuckled as he sat up, "I guess so...by the way, you guys seen my broom?"
Brian winced and looked away while Yugi whistled lowly and Joey rubbed the back of his head. Ron and Hermione reached behind them and pulled out a large bag.
"Um...after you fell off, Harry, it went off into the forest and...well...,"
"Well what?"
"It hit that big-ass Whompin' Willow!" Mokuba piped up, earning another glare from his brother. Ron emptied out the bag and dozens, if not hundreds of wooden splinters came falling out, creating a small pile on Harry's bed.
Mokuba shook his head, "Well...could be worse...,"
"Mokuba's right...you could be really hurt, or dead, Harry," Tea offered, smiling slightly before turning to Brian, "Isn't that...right...?".
She looked around the infirmary, "Where'd Brian go?"
Everyone looked around to see that Brian was no longer with them. Ron shook his head, "Damn, why is he always doing that?"
-----
It was very dark. So dark that not much could be seen. Brian cracked his neck and looked around, "Dammit...place creeps me out everytime I come here,".
"So, I see that my target area was not misplaced...,"
He turned around to see Shadi standing a few feet away from him, "Ya know, it would be nice if you gave a little heads up before you decide to yank me from the real world...especially with all the disappearing acts I did last year,".
The Egyptian spirit chuckled and bowed his head slightly, "I'll keep that in mind, my young friend. I believe you have some questions for me?".
