Harry Potter: The Prince of Games

Disclaimer: SEE FIRST CHAPTER

Plot: Harry never went to the Dursleys; instead, he went to James' brother and was raised in a life of fun, mystery and excitement. But, as it always does, destiny soon catches up with Harry as he discovers strange powers, dark destinies and unusual truths about himself.

Lowering the Puzzle again, Atem then explained, "If you are to truly succeed in this task, you must do it alone and using the power you so foolishly choose to squander away in fear of who you have always been, Harry Potter."

Lifting the remaining deck from its holster, Harry gasped when he saw which Deck remained, its power radiating the darkness within him and within the Shadow Realm itself.

"To fully master your power," Atem explained, earning a look from Harry as he said, "You must beat me with the power of the Evil Heroes!"

Chapter 36: Meet Your Maker Part 2

As Harry looked down at the sole deck that remained, an iron weight of fear and disbelief rose in him.

Already, he could feel the power of the Evil Heroes calling out to him, begging him to use them, to tap into their destructive powers to vanquish his enemies and become the king that he was inside. He could see the spores of their dark Duel Energy rippling around the formation of his dark deck and, even though Harry knew that he had willingly allowed himself to bond with the powers of the Evil Heroes against Pegasus, back then, even when he used them against Harrington, there was one key difference to what was happening now.

Back then, he had Haou bonded with him so that, even in darkness, he never truly lost himself to the destructive powers of the dark monsters.

Now though, he would have to wield them alone…and that terrified him!

"Well Harry?" asked Atem, earning a look from the young duellist that showed his fear as he asked him, "Are you prepared to see if you are truly the master of the powers of the Gentle Darkness? Or will you crawl away and doom the world to destruction?"

"I can't do that," Harry told him, his voice shaking with the fear that he felt as he explained, "If…if I do, everyone I love, everything I…I hold dear; it all goes with the world. Alexis…Jaden…Syrus…Zane…Seto…Dad; they'd all be destroyed…because I was too weak and I can't…no…"

Across from him, Atem smiled as he saw the energy rise up around Harry, the miasma of duel energy showing itself to the Pharaoh while Harry looked up and insisted, "I won't let that happen: and if…if I have to use the power of the Supreme King to win this by myself, then so be it."

Here, he smiled as he asked, "It's not as if it's the first time our family's gone through this, right, Atem? Remember the battle with Bandit Keith? The bout you had to fight after Dad's soul was lost to the Orichalcos? And then, of course, the battle with you yourself…"

"I too faced Yugi's spirit when I was lost to darkness against the Orichalcos," said Atem, smiling proudly as he added, "He would be proud if he could see you now, Harry: but the time for talk is over. Let's duel!"

Activating his Black Disk, Harry slid the Evil Heroes Deck into its holder before he retorted, "Let the games begin!"

Atem: 4000/Harry: 4000

As both sides drew their first hands, Harry looked from the cards in his hand to the Pharaoh opposite him, his eyes narrowed in thought as he considered what was happening, 'From what I remember from Dad's stories and the videos I always watched, Yami, back when he was Yami, had the same cards in his deck that Dad does, but that was because he was Dad: in the Ceremonial Duel, he used a lot of cards similar to Dad's, as he did when he was wielding the deck alone after Dad lost his soul to the Orichalcos, so…does that mean I can anticipate his moves?'

"I know what you're thinking, Harry," said Atem, earning a curious look from Harry as he explained, "And you'd be right that I am Yugi's old partner and that, like then, you'll see a lot of cards and a lot of moves you think you know, but there'll be some you don't. Now, as this is your test, I want you to take the first move."

"A…All right," said Harry, swallowing hard as he drew his first card; as soon as he did so, however, a wince of pain flashed across Harry's features as he felt the dark power of the Evil Heroes already starting to consume him.

In the Shadow Realm, as any good duellist of their sort knew, everything was real and everything was true: so, when Harry feared becoming the King's slave and falling to darkness, it was fear that was made real by the dark powers contained within the souls of the Evil Heroes.

Swallowing hard as he already felt his hand trembling, Harry sniffed before he said, "For…for my first move, I place one card face down and summon out Evil Hero Magma Marauder (1800/1800) in…in defence mode. That…that ends it for me, then."

As the newly-reformed dark hero, formerly known as Harry's Union Hero of the same name, rose onto the field, his obsidian body and purplish energy streams pulsing with dark energy, Harry gave another hiss of pain and restraint as he felt the dark spirit of his hero link itself to his own spirit.

Trembling as he felt the darkness enter him, Harry closed his eyes tight while he whispered, "No…you…I won't let you control me…you are my allies, not…not my masters…"

"One hero on the field and already you struggle to tame it," sighed Atem, a note of pity in his voice as he said, "Maybe they were wrong, Harry; maybe you're not as strong as they like to think you are. Well, no matter, for my turn, I activate the spell card Magical Academy."

Barely able to see through the pain of the darkness consuming him, Harry winced as he saw the field shine with magical light while Atem went on, "With this, I discard two cards from my hand and then, I summon out a Spellcaster from my hand: I'm sure you can guess which one, can't you?"

"Yes," hissed Harry, his green eyes flecked with gold as the darkness began to consume him.

"Then let's say hello," Atem replied, holding up the card in question as he commanded, "As I summon out my ancient protector, my friend, Dark Magician (2500/2100) in attack mode and thanks to the effect of Magical Academy, his level now increases by two while his attack and defence powers gain a boost: five hundred points!"

Dark Magician: 3000/2600

As the power of Magical Academy increased the magician's strength, Harry felt a ripple of anger and dark thought pass through him: as he tried to crush it down, letting himself stay focused on the duel, he felt his hand trembling while his heart began to turn cold and dark.

"And now," Atem went on, his eyes shining as he made his next move, "My old friend is about to give you a taste of the real power of Darkness: so go, Dark Magician, attack Evil Hero Magma Marauder with Dark Magic Attack!"

As the electrified orb of magical energy flew from Dark Magician's staff, Harry snapped his head up, his eyes still flecked with gold as he gave a laugh, "Sorry Pharaoh, but I knew you couldn't resist attacking my Marauder and ensuring he couldn't use his special ability, so…so that's why I set the Trap Card known as Hatred Barrier!"

At Harry's command, a Trap rose onto the field: it seemed to resemble Hero Barrier, but its swirling vortex seemed to be made of the darkest flames while each of the waves of energy around the inside wound inwards like a black hole.

"Thanks to this," said Harry, indicating Dark Magician as he laughed, "Dark Magician's attack is negated and, furthermore, during the End Phase of this turn, you take damage equal to my monster's attack points, which is eighteen hundred!"

(Hatred Barrier: TRAP/COUNTER: Activate when an Evil Hero is targeted as a result of battle; end the Battle Step immediately. During the End Phase of the turn that this card is activated, inflict Direct Damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the targeted monster.)

"Impressive," sniggered Atem, watching as his attack was indeed swallowed up by the vortex before he went on, "However, Harry, you're going to have to go on a real offensive if you hope to have a chance at becoming master of your powers. So, with that said, I place one card of my own face down and end my turn."

With his declaration, the Pharaoh then cried out as Magma Marauder's body shone brightly, its aura charged by the energy of the Dark Magician, which flew over to Atem's side, striking him hard and fast, dealing first blood in the battle.

Atem: 2200/Harry: 4000

At the same time that the Pharaoh's energy went down, however, Harry gasped as he felt a little of his darkness fading away, leaving him able to breathe while he also felt like a weight was being lifted. At the same time, he saw Magma Marauder turn his head to his commander and nod in a way that was almost obedient, as though the dark spirit knew who it was he served.

"What…what's that all about?" asked Harry.

"I told you," said Atem, indicating Harry as he explained, "If you win this duel, the full power of your destiny will be yours, Harry; and so, for every life point I lose, you feel that control being given to you until it is all yours. However, for every life point you lose, you will feel the same suffocating presence of the Darkness that you felt when you held and summoned your Marauder."

Clenching his free hand, Harry then listened as Atem asked, "So the question now, Harry, is what's different? Because when you activated Hatred Barrier, you did so with a fire in you that was able to pierce the veil of Darkness that threatens to consume you and destroy this world."

Harry blinked in surprise, but he shook it off as he drew his card, "It's my move and, for my move, I think it's time I increase my…my arsenal and so I summon out another good friend of mine: Evil Hero Rush Raider (1500/500) and next, I activate the spell card Dark Armoury!"

Now Atem was curious: both Marauder and Raider were in defence mode, which meant that Harry's life points would be safe, but from the looks of it, the dark hero was far from done.

"Thanks to my having an Evil Hero in play," explained Harry, lifting his deck from its slot as he added, "I get to add a card with the word Evil in its name from my deck to my hand."

"Impressive, Harry," agreed Atem, a smirk playing on his lips as he asked, "And let me guess, the card you pick is some sort of companion to your two already-impressive heroes on the field?"

"No," answered Harry, although his voice trembled as, with him shuffling his deck looking for the right sort of card, he felt more of the darkness infecting him, but this time, he seemed to wave it right off as he added, "Actually, the card I choose has nothing to do with Marauder or Raider, but it does have everything to do with him!"

He pointed at Dark Magician as he added the selected card to his hand before he explained, "Be…because, Pharaoh, the card that I choose is the Equip Spell Card known as Influence of Evil!"

At Harry's command, a whole new spell card rose up: it showed a black throne with a figure kneeling before it, the figure broken and battered by unknown traumas while the figure in the throne looked more like the Supreme King than Harry did right now.

"And," continued Harry, smiling as he explained, "Thanks to my Influence of Evil, I can select one card on my opponent's side of the field and, at the cost of an Evil Hero on my field, I can control it: so say goodbye to Rush Raider and Dark Magician, you're mine!"

(Influence of Evil: SPELL/EQUIP: Discard one Evil Hero from your side of the field to the Graveyard: select one monster on your opponent's side of the field and equip this card to it. As long as this card is activated, the controller of this card can attack with the selected monster during the Battle Phase.)

Black clouds flew from the Influence card, poisoning the mind of the Dark Magician as his eyes flashed the same gold before he leapt over to Harry's side of the field, a look of victory now filling the eyes of the Obelisk King as he explained, "And now that your field's empty, Atem, it's time for me to pass your little test and I'll do it with him! Dark Magician, use all three thousand of your attack points for me and attack your former master: go, Dark Magic Attack!"

As Dark Magician lifted his staff, Atem sighed before he asked, "Harry, aren't you forgetting something?"

When Harry looked confused, the Pharaoh pointed downwards, indicating the Trap that he'd set, earning a gasp from Harry as he cried, "Wait!"

"Too late!" retorted Atem, indicating said card as he explained, "I knew that if I started off big, you'd find some way of getting around it, so I prepared this for that occasion: Mirror Force!"

As he said it, the magician's attack was launched towards Atem, but his life points were protected by a veil of semi-visible light that absorbed and redirected the attack right back at Harry, vanquishing Dark Magician in the process, but Magma Marauder was still in play.

"Good thing Mirror Force only affects attack position monsters," said Harry, indicating his Marauder as he added, "And my Marauder's in defence mode, which means that even with Dark Magician destroyed, Marauder's special ability allows him to do what Dark Magician couldn't. By cutting his attack points in half, he can attack you directly: go, Pyro Sphere!"

The black flame orb flew from Marauder's mouth, striking Atem head-on while Harry, wiping sweat from his brow, felt more and more energy being released as his strength was restored and the purity of his spirit tamed the darkness inside him.

Atem: 1300/Harry: 4000

'Just one more attack,' thought Harry, clenching a fist as he mused, 'On my next turn, I'll switch Marauder into attack mode and win this: even if the Pharaoh plans something, there's nearly no card in his deck that he can summon normally without it going up against my Marauder.'

"I end my turn."

"And I begin mine," said Atem, drawing his next card and, eyeing his hand, he took a breath before he explained, "And I'd say I'm sorry, Harry, but it would be a lie."

"Why?" asked Harry.

"You'll see," replied Atem, holding up a card as he explained, "I remove Dark Magician and the Jack's Knight I discarded to the Graveyard with Magical Academy from the Graveyard: this allows me to summon out a very special monster, one so rare and so dangerous that official duelling tournaments have forbidden it, but here in the Shadow Realm, nothing is forbidden!"

Suddenly, Harry's eyes widened as he remembered his Father showing him a replica of his deck that was said to go on tour as a memorial tour of their time in Battle City and since then: in that deck, there was a monster with such power that was, as the Pharaoh said, forbidden in official circles.

But here, nothing was forbidden.

"It can't be…" gasped Harry.

"Oh, but it can," replied Atem, holding up the card in question as he exclaimed, "And it is: now, with this sacrifice, I summon out the rare and powerful Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500) in attack mode!"

As the spirits of the two sacrificed monsters vanished into the ether, Harry watched as lightning crashed all around the arena before a dark rift opened, revealing a monster that seemed to resemble the Ritual Monster of the same name, but with a sharper blade, a shield and a much more intense stare in his dark eyes.

"Can that…that really be my Dad's legendary forbidden warrior?" asked Harry, his eyes as wide as saucers as he gasped, "He…he always said he never wanted me to experience this power, so…so he kept it hidden…"

"And now you'll see why," remarked Atem as he commanded, "Black Luster Soldier, attack Magma Marauder with Thousand Sword Slash!"

At the Pharaoh's command, the soldier's sword seemed to become a flurry of motion, its one blade transforming into more than a thousand with the flurry of motion and the speed with which it struck: as it struck out at Harry's monster, Magma Marauder let out a cry before he vanished, swallowed up by darkness, leaving Harry exposed and his field empty.

"Phew," sighed Harry, holding his heart as he said, "Good thing Marauder was in defence mode…"

However, before he could finish his statement, Harry went cold as Atem sniggered before he said, "Oh Harry, you of all people should know that nothing is what it seems: and in the case of my soldier, he is so rare and so dangerous for a reason. You see, when Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of the Beginning destroys an opponent's monster…he can attack again!"

"What?" asked Harry.

"Show him soldier," commanded Atem, aiming a finger at Harry as he exclaimed, "Attack Harry directly: Thousand Sword Slash!"

This time, Harry's screams of duelling backlash were real screams of pain as the reality of the Shadow Realm caused him to feel each one of the sword's strikes as they plunged into him, depleting his life points while, as Atem had said, as Harry lost life points – three thousand life points to be exact – he fell to his knees, his hand clutching at his heart as the overwhelming power of the Shadow Realm forced him to feel the suffocating grip of the Darkness he was trying to avoid being consumed by.

Atem: 1300/Harry: 1000

"And now, Harry," Atem added, laying down his hand as he explained, "I activate the magic of Card of Sanctity, which allows us both to draw until we have six cards in our hand, but with that, I end my turn."

Even as he went to rebuild his hand, Harry still trembled as he drew them from his deck, the darkness from his heroes consuming him while the numb, all-devouring essence of the Dark Supremacy he'd tried so hard to avoid embracing closed in on him, the darkness filling his heart and soul, his eyes now gold in their sockets while his body was numb, his hands on the ground.

Prince of Games

Harry's POV

'I…I can't…I can't give up,' thought Harry, choking on his own thoughts as he asked, 'But how can anything in my deck stand up to the power of the Black Luster Soldier, let alone the Forbidden Warrior himself?'

'Then don't give up!'

As Harry's eyes widened, he looked up: as he did so, however, he let out a gasp of awe as Atem seemed to have vanished; in his place, there were a large group of very familiar heroes, each of which Harry recognised from his battles with them, both for good and for ill reasons.

Evil Hero Inferno Wing, Evil Hero Lightning Golem, Evil Hero Cyclonus, Evil Hero Magma Marauder, Evil Hero Rush Raider, Evil Hero Diamond Defender, Evil Hero Cosmic Commander and, finally, Evil Hero Malicious Edge, all of them gathered around him in a circle that seemed to be both reassuring, but, given the dark nature of the spirits, intimidating as well.

'Harry Potter,' said Malicious Edge, his voice as cold and devious as his appearance as he explained, 'For so long, you thought our master's spirit chose you, but the truth of it is that we chose you: not because you were a vessel he could control, but because you had it in you to help him keep a promise…one he made centuries ago to his Guardian, the boy known as Yubel.'

'Yubel's a boy?' wondered Harry, earning sniggers from the others before he asked, "But wait…if you chose me, why…why was Haou so willing to give me his powers in the first place?"

'Because you have something no other vessel has, my friend,' replied a familiar voice, earning a wide-eyed look from Harry as the heroes parted, each of them bowing to the demonic visage that was now Evil Hero Yami, although now, the helmet was removed, exposing eyes and a face that was like Harry's, but, at the same time, there was a hint of someone else.

Someone Harry knew very well indeed, "Jaden?"

'He was meant to be the one,' explained Haou, his voice filled with the same strength he'd always tried to give to Harry as he said, 'Yubel found her way to him and believed likewise, but fate, it seems, had other plans: plans involving you, the King of Games, and the greatest power in history.'

Putting a hand to his chest, Haou smiled as he added, 'The power of the heart: of loyalty to one's own, which was what Yubel had for me when I ruled the Ancient Kingdom and now, in this modern time, you, Harry James Potter, you are the one with that power.'

"Power?"

Evil Hero Yami/Haou nodded before he went on, 'So don't you give up: reach deep down inside yourself and find that power…for remember always, my friend, my partner, my dearest young companion…remember always: you are the power!'

'He is the Power…' chorused the other Heroes, each of them seemingly vanishing while Harry watched, helpless to stop them.

'He is the Power, he is the Power, he is the Power…'

Prince of Games

General POV

Snapping his eyes open, Harry let out a gasp of awe as, slowly but surely, he pulled himself up, his legs trembling and his body quivering as he looked from his disk to the Pharaoh and back again.

As he did so, a smile touched Harry's face as he whispered, "I understand…and I'll make you proud…all of you…"

Then, returning his attention to Atem, Harry's eyes burned with green fire as he exclaimed, "You think I'm just going to roll over and die, Pharaoh? Never! This duel isn't over yet, not as long as I have points and cards left to play!"

Unseen by Harry, Atem's eyes shone with pride while he smiled as he thought, 'He's finally learned to accept it: and just in time. I highly doubt Yugi would forgive me if I condemned his son to eternal Darkness!'

"It's my turn!" announced Harry, drawing his next card; as soon as he did so, however, a gasp escaped him as a wave of darkness, far stronger than any other, coursed through his veins.

This time, however, Harry shook his head and, looking at the card, a smile touched his face as he said, "So this is that power, is it? Then let's do it!"

Atem raised an eyebrow, but said nothing as Harry went on with his turn.

"I activate the spell card Premature Burial," declared Harry, the darkness practically swarming around him as he paid the price of the card while he went on, "And with it, I resurrect Evil Hero Magma Marauder from the graveyard!"

Atem: 1300/Harry: 200

As the dark hero rose again, Harry steeled himself before he went on, "And next, I activate a very unique spell card: Super Polymerisation!"

'Yes!' cried the spirits of the dark heroes, earning a smile from Harry as his energy seemed to grow stronger; no longer was it just the gold of duel energy or the blackness of the Shadow Realm's punishment games.

Now, it was both and, as Harry felt the energy swarming, he drew himself to his full height with a cry as he exclaimed, "And now, with the power of the Supreme King's own creation and the heroes you wish me to command, Pharaoh, this battle is over. By discarding Dark Fusion to the Graveyard, I take my Evil Hero Magma Marauder and fuse him with your Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of the Beginning!"

Atem's smile showed itself even behind his shock as Harry then announced, "And you're right on one thing about him: he is the envoy of the beginning, namely mine and the new beginning of the Supreme King: me!"

"Then show me what you've got, Harry!" Atem retorted, earning a nod from Harry as they both watched Marauder and Luster vanish into the void.

"With the magic of Super Polymerisation," explained Harry, indicating high into the air as he declared, "The powers of Light and Darkness combine from the darkness of my hero and the light of yours and, with these two energies brought together, I summon out the new and improved ruler of the Gentle Darkness, herald of the Sacred Beasts and my partner, protector and friend!"

As Harry gave his description, Atem watched as the void opened, revealing the dark-winged, armoured warrior visage of Harry's newest card, his gold eyes shining from beneath the eyepieces of his helmet while, like Harry, his body radiated both Light and Dark energy brought together.

"Say hello to Evil Hero Yami (0/0) and if you think he's good, then just wait until you get a taste of his power!" declared Harry, clenching his fist as it trembled, but now, it trembled with excitement and strength.

"Um, Harry?" asked Atem, indicating the dark armoured hero while he said, "He hasn't got a single attack or defence point, so how is he going to do anything against me?"

"Because Evil Hero Yami absorbs attack and defence power from the monsters used to create him," said Harry, earning an awed gasp from Atem before he went on, "And, with Black Luster's three thousand plus Marauder's eighteen hundred…well, I'm sure you can do the math!"

Evil Hero Yami: 4800/4300

(Evil Hero Yami: ATK: 0/DEF: 0/Level: 12/DARK/WARRIOR/FUSION: One or more Evil Heroes + One or more LIGHT Attribute Monsters: This card can only be summoned with Polymerisation: when this card is summoned, increase its ATK and DEF by the total sum ATK and DEF of all Fusion Material Monsters used to summon it. When this card is destroyed, Special Summon up to three Fusion Material Monsters from your Graveyard to your side of the field.)

"Four thousand eight hundred?" asked Atem, earning a nod from Harry as Yami's attack and defence power was increased by his dark armour absorbing the souls of both the monsters used to create him.

"And each one of them is about to win me this duel!" exclaimed Harry, indicating Atem as he added, "The age of the King of Games is over: the time of the Supreme King of the Gentle Darkness has come: Evil Hero Yami, attack the Pharaoh directly with Supreme Shadow Slash!"

Spreading his wings, Yami's body seemed to unleash a torrent of black blades, which grew out around the edges of his wings in a giant circular motion; it was only later that Harry realised that there were twelve swords being used – one for each of the dimensions of reality that the power of the Supreme King touched.

And, as he watched, Harry's smile never faded once as the swords were thrown forwards, each one of them rippling with the same hybridised energy as Harry and Yami, each sword cutting through Atem, depleting the last of the Pharaoh's life points.

"Game OVER!" Declared Harry, clenching his fist while he smiled as he added, "But thank you, Pharaoh, for helping me understand!"

"You…you're welcome…son," said Atem, earning a shocked look from Harry before Atem smiled as he snapped his fingers; at his command, Harry gasped as he saw the Shadow Realm vanish, replaced by the Abandoned Dormitory as well as Jaden, Alexis and Professor Banner, the latter of whom inclined his head before he turned and left.

Harry, however, looked back to Atem, but as soon as he did so, he gasped as he saw the person for who they really were, "Dad? How?"

"Your Aunt Mai," said Yugi, removing the contact lenses from his eyes while he laughed, "Add in a little holographic presence from Kaiba and Pegasus and the attitude I know belonged to my old partner and I knew I could pull it off: a pretend duel with a Duel Spirit, just like…"

"Duel Monsters' Spirit Day!" gasped Harry, a laugh then escaping him as he added, "That's next month, but then why…"

"To help you see," said Yugi, walking towards Harry before he put a hand on Harry's shoulder as he explained, "The power is, was and always will be yours, Harry: I know you don't fear Haou, but you do fear your nightmares. You fear something making them come true, but you didn't understand that the only thing that controls such fate is you!"

"But now I do," said Harry, looking down at the Super Polymerisation card in his hand before he asked, "Hang on, what about that Millennium Puzzle? It banished my cards and severed my link with Haou…unless…"

Here, Harry saw Alexis hold up his decks while Jaden blushed as he revealed what looked like a vacuum cleaner; on top of that, Harry heard Haou's voice tell him, 'Sorry…he asked me not to say anything except to give you the support you'd need at the right time…which you did.'

Retrieving his cards from his girlfriend, Harry turned to Yugi before he smiled as he asked, "It was all a prank, then?"

"A lesson too, but yes," smiled Yugi, his expression one of amusement as he asked, "You didn't think I didn't learn a few things from my brother before we parted ways for the last time, did you?"

"I know I learned something," argued Harry, taking Alexis' hand as he said, "I know I can't let those powers fall into the wrong hands, but I can't do it alone."

"And who says you'll be alone?" asked another familiar voice, making Harry turn to see Zane and Seto walk into the chamber, the latter looking around with interest while Zane told Harry, "We're all here, Harry: you, me, Jaden, Alexis, your Father and Seto Kaiba; no matter what may be coming for those cards or the beasts, we won't let them be lost quite so easily."

"We still need a seventh," argued Yugi, but Harry smiled as he looked back to his Dad.

"I think I might know someone willing to help…"

Wow, Chapter 36 and, while it was a cruel trick, you have to admit that Yugi's definitely got a point: now that it looks like all is set for the Shadow Wars, will our heroes succeed against the threat that looms ahead?

Also, who is the seventh that Harry meant and how will they help our heroes defend the Sacred Beast Cards?
