SRRH: Most crossover fics like this one have Shadi as a teacher, but few include Pegasus, and I can't remember reading one where he's a teacher. Reactions are a plenty, especially as it seems Pegasus should have replaced Trelawney and not Hagrid. I can't believe no one remembers this from a previous chapter, Bakura and Ryo mention that he gave Pegasus back the eye because Ryo refused to lose an eye just to be able to use it, and Bakura didn't really want to ruin an eye either (which is why he never used it during the series even though it would have increased his power) Marik and Ishtar may have dug up something on Pegasus after all he did recreate duel monsters.
ShadiStar13: Care of Magical creatures lesson of course, I have got a few ideas on up to three other lessons each sharing a similar theme that can be found in this one the first lesson.
Knight25: Shadi may make a guest appearance later, but not as a teacher, I don't think he's teacher material; he should remain in the shadows observing and assisting when necessary. I couldn't give Pegasus anything other than his Toon Monsters.
Setoglomper: It's good to know I can still surprise people.
Yizuki: I've already explained about the eye, and he needed it for his back story plus mind reading Pegasus is cool.
SilverDragon-Purity: Yeah well Yugi-boy and Kaiba-boy might not like him but he did help save the day during the movie against Anubis, so they'll be on semi good terms.
Shadowkyra: I have Pegasus's back story covered, just read and see for yourself.
Chapter 31) Return of the Creator
Pegasus! Pegasus was a teacher here! How? Why? When? What was he up to?!
'Did you see that?' asks Yami 'he has the Millennium Eye back'
"Impossible" mutters Marik 'Yeah' agrees Ishtar 'Bakura swiped it'
'What!' Yelled Yami outraged. "Yes" whispers Ryo "but he gave it back, I wouldn't lose an eye so he could use it"
'What!' exclaims Ishtar 'he gave an item back!'
Pegasus's good eye moved along them, a quirky smile present on the visible half of his face "pipe down" Marik mutters "It looks like he can see you and probably here you as well"
Yami contacts Yugi via the mind link :Better warn Kaiba to act dumb no need for Pegasus to know everything:
:Always assuming he hasn't already taken the information from our minds: sighs Yugi.
X:Don't bother, I can hear you:X Kaiba replies telepathically X:I've been hearing fragments of your telepathic conversations for a while now:X
/Side effect of the Crystal Skull/ suggests Ryo testing a theory that is proved correct as Marik replies /bound to be, anything He wants to add:
Ryo shakes his head and Yugi speaks up again :Well there's not much we can do about it:
"To start us of, can anyone tell me what connects Centaurs, Mermaids, Dragon's" Pegasus smiles creepily at Kaiba who rolls his eyes but looks interested "and of course Unicorn's?" it seems Pegasus is willing to play ball and act dumb, which was fine by the gang.
Hermione raised her hand hesitantly "Yes Miss Granger?" Hermione's mouth fell open in shock, how did he know her name? Pegasus sighs "I'm afraid you're mistaken, inspired but not quite the answer I was looking for" he shakes his head.
Hermione recovers, another so called seer like Trelawney, she knew it was just a trick. "They are all Magical Beasts that have been considered for classification of Beings at one time or another"
"Just as I thought" Pegasus shakes his head sadly "completely and utterly wrong, well right as far as they have all been considered for being category but wrong as that wasn't the answer I was looking for" he looks across at the class deadly serious "Only Merpeople, Centaurs and some Dragons can be classed as Beings, as pure and magical as Unicorn's are undoubtedly are, they are still mere Beasts" he shakes his head again this time despairingly and tutters "This won't do, it won't do at all, I gave you a blatant clue!" as the class remains clueless, Pegasus sighs "Mermaids instead of Merpeople, are Yugi boy I believe your on the right track, well don't be shy, share your thoughts with the class" he smiles creepily again.
Nervously Yugi answers "uh…well, they're all magical creatures that are easily recognizable to non-magic people, there are others like sea serpents and Griffin's that aren't as famous but are still linked to magic" he answers.
"Excellent Yugi-boy excellent, ten points to Gryffindor" Pegasus claps his hands together "yes Muggles have been aware of these four magical beasts since before the Dark Ages but you'll cover that in more detail in History of Magic or Muggle Studies" Malfoy and co weren't paying any attention, it was obvious they felt this whole class was a joke and a waste of time, Pegasus eyes them with disdain.
"You there" calls out Pegasus "the Slytherin group, I don't care what you think about the subject, the previous teacher or myself, when you are in my lessons you shall pay attention and not chatter amongst yourselves and slack of" Pegasus glares at them, Yugi and Marik were certain he'd have loved to have played one of his twisted shadow games on them, but seemed to be restraining himself. "Hogwarts is a school, you come here to learn, not a hotel for you to muck around and have a good time in" he looked down his nose at them "that goes double for Draco boy and Pansy girl, don't arrange dates during my lectures" the aforementioned Slytherins blush as the Gryffindors laugh at them.
"Today's lesson is a focus on Unicorns; can anyone tell me anything about Unicorns?"
"Unicorn horns have immensely powerful magical properties and are a common ingredient in most potions, Unicorn tail hair is one of several substances that can be made into wand cores, it generally avoids human contact and is fleet of foot, making it difficult to capture" answers Hermione immediately.
"Very good" mummers Pegasus "a textbook answer memorized word for word from a book" Pegasus shakes his head "basically correct though five points to Gryffindor" he turns to the class "can anyone add anything else?" this time Harry answered feeling slightly morose "Unicorn's blood can sustain you, even if you're an inch from death, but it's a cursed life because you slew something pure"
"More than a textbook answer there" comments Pegasus "well done Potter boy, there are many other facts about the Unicorn, for example their young are born with a golden coat that gradually changes to silver/white as they mature and are usually more likely to allow Witches than Wizards to approach" he turns round and starts walking "follow me" the class follow his retreating form passed Hagrids Hut and down to the edge of the forbidden forest. Harry ran up to Pegasus and asks "Sir? Do you know where Hagrid is?" Pegasus shakes his head "do you know when he'll be back?" asks Harry desperately, what could he be doing? "No" replies Pegasus, stopping as they reach a newly made pen of which inside there were two Unicorns.
"I expect everyone here to have written a twelve inch essay on Unicorn's by the next lesson" he holds his hand up as he is bombarded by protests "Save it!" he raises his voice "that's better, maybe I didn't make this quite clear before, I don't care how much homework the other teachers have given you, if you turn up without an essay or I judge that not enough effort has been put into it then you will receive a detention with me" he smiles coldly "Yes I am" he states staring directly at Malfoy "and the sooner you realize it the better" he smiles more friendlier "of course since I am a benevolent tyrant you have the rest of the lesson to start working on it, yes" he asks Hermione just as she was about to raise her hand "you haven't told us what the essay is about" she protests.
"I believe I have mentioned the word Unicorn several times" replies Pegasus "you can decide specifically as long as it is about Unicorn's and has relevance"
The Students exchange glances this new teacher was mental.
Kaiba frowns darkly, still not satisfied that Pegasus was there just to teach but had to admit X:this changes things, finally these wizards are thrown for a change:X
/I agree with Kaiba boy: cackles Ishtar gleefully.
X:Stay out of my mind!:X snaps Kaiba.
:Sorry, but you broadcast that though to us over the, well our mind link now: replies Yugi, :Kaiba concentrate on a wall, it should help you until you get the hang of how the mind link works: suggests Yami.
"You can of course enter and pet them, as long as I m here to observe of course" Pegasus smirks at the class "perhaps the Slytherins would like to go first" he suggests with a twinkle in his eye, that gave Marik the feeling that these lessons were going to be entertaining indeed.
Neither Unicorns would let any of the Slytherins near them, one even tried to gorge Malfoy with its horn, Malfoy pulls away and leaves the pen immediately livid he storms up to Pegasus "You knew it would do that didn't you?" Malfoy accuses him.
"Unicorns are strange Beasts" comments Pegasus "they can sense evil an unsavory characters and react to them, what about you is it that would disturb a Unicorn so strongly?" Pegasus smirked knowing full well what Malfoy's sins were.
"They seemed to have missed one evil character" mutters Marik before receiving a kick from Kaiba to tell him to shut up.
Malfoy seethes "My father..." he's cut of by Pegasus "isn't as half as rich and powerful as me" he declares "he also doesn't happen to be here, you however are, ten points from Slytherin" Malfoy grits his teeth and growls, turning back he stalks over to his bodyguards.
"Perhaps the Gryffindors would fare better" Pegasus comments and waits expectantly, he sighs "let me rephrase that, Gryffindors enter the pen and try to pet them" The Gryffindors stop scribbling on parchment and hesitantly enter the Unicorn pen, all except Kaiba, Ryo and Marik who Pegasus stops from entering.
"Why can't…" protests Marik before stopping abruptly as Ryo elbows him in the side /Idiot!/ he tells him, X:if they react that strongly to that Malfoy brat how do you think they'll react to you and Bakura?:X continues Kaiba.
/I guess your right: admits Marik /How come Kaiba's not allowed to meet the horses?: Ishtar demands to know /does this mean he's as evil as us?:
X:Firstly Ryo isn't evil and Marik's merely a nuisance:X states Kaiba X:and secondly I am not evil!:X
/Says you: retorts Ishtar.
The Unicorn didn't act adversely to any of the Gryffindors although they did snort at Ron; they only bowed respectively to Yugi, much to the short boy's surprise and everyone else's resentment.
"Hum" mutters Pegasus "just as I expected, so my theory was correct"
"And what theory would that be?" asked a horse voice whispering in Pegasus's ear. Turning round Pegasus comes face to face with Ishtar "huh" he gasps before collecting himself "oh it's you" he says, irritation flashes across the visible half of his face.
Ishtar grins one of his trademark deranged grins "not quite" he quips, Pegasus pales as he taps into the power of his Millennium Eye, which sparkles through his hair for a second "I sense a darkness about you, your like the other Yugi and Bakura!" Ishtar chuckles "not exactly" he claims, he stares straight at Pegasus "I'm not as nice as the spirits you have come to know and fear" he reveals the Millennium Rod making sure to keep himself between it and the Slytherins and Pegasus between it and the Gryffindors, as he tosses it up in the air and catches it Pegasus claims "I'm not afraid of them!" angrily, Ishtar cackles "yes you are, and now you should know to fear me also" he pockets the Rod "better watch your back" he instructs Pegasus "no one else will" he struts back over to Ryo and Kaiba allowing Marik to take over. "He's up to something" he tells them.
"My father said the Ministry's cracking down on sub-standard teaching" Malfoy lowers his voice "bet he's the first to go with that old bat Trelawney"
Kaiba smirks "looks like were not the only ones he's pissing of" Marik shakes his head and Ryo sighs "yeah but it doesn't matter if he does lower his voice, Pegasus will simply read his mind"
Yugi joins them "why do you think Pegasus wouldn't let you guys near the Unicorns?" he asks them.
"Evil spirit" mutters Ryo. "let's collar him, after the lesson and make him fess up, what he's doing here" suggests Marik "after all we haven't been properly introduced yet" he smiles a psychopath's smile.
Harry looked across at his chief Voldermort agent suspects, they were up to something, and he was determined to find out what.
