I don't own Yugioh or Harry Potter

Chapter 37

As the shadows disappeared around the two wizards, Yugi felt himself becoming light headed. Atem noticing that Yugi was about to faint ran up to him catching the shorter sorcerer in his arms.

Ron noticing that Yugi was wiped out started to taunt him. "You should know that good always prevails over evil."

Yugi looked at Ron. "As per our wage put Krista down."

Ron looked up to notice that Krista wasn't there. "Git, she isn't here! How the bloody hell did she get down? I never cast the counter spell."

"I cast it. Sensei knew it and told me the counter spell." Noticing the shocked look on Rons face Kaiba continued. "You idiot you cast a spell you didn't even know where it came from and who else might know it didn't you."

"It came from my book. The Prince is a genius." Ron stated. He figured that somehow Snape must have stolen his book when he was a sleep in order to know the counter spell.

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "I'm pretty sure you don't mean Prince Henry, but I don't have time to figure out who you mean. Let's just get Yugi back to our dorm. I need to check on my wife to make sure she is okay."

As the group started to head down the hall, Ron yelled. "Hey Kaiba, your wife's dragon mark is great it really makes her breasts look even better."

The CEO's temper snapped. Totally forgetting about being able to use magic, Kaiba ran up to Ron and hit him across the jaw. "You asshole, if it weren't for the fact that I need to help get Yugi to our dorm to rest, I'd send your ass to your own personal hell."

Ron grabbed his jaw. "You about broke my jaw you git." Ron decided he needed to retaliate. He pointed his wand at the CEO and thought Levicorpus. Kaiba instantly found himself dangling upside down. Before Kaiba could grab his wand to cast a counter charm he found himself unable to move his arms. Apparently Ron had just cast a non-verbal Freezing Charm as well. "Now if I can't torment your wife, I'll just torment you. I'm positive you are a Death Eater just like she is. She took Bellatrix's place didn't she."

Draco pulled out his wand and pointed it directly at Ron's heart. "You fucking git!" Draco yelled.

Ron started laughing; it seemed his instincts were correct. "I should have known that Death Eaters stick together."

Draco was about to retaliate, when Yugi intervened. "Draco let me handle this. Go to my dorm and give this to your cousin." Yugi pulled out Krista's wand and held it out to Draco.

Draco looked at Yugi for a fraction of a second until he realized that Yugi was trying to keep him from blowing his cover as a double agent. Draco nodded his head and summoned Krista wand. He then started to run down the corridors towards the duelists' dorm.

Yugi who was still leaning on Atem for support turned to face Ron. "Didn't I tell you that if you hoisted another duelist in mid air you would be punished?"

Atem figuring he knew what Yugi was about to do sent him a telepathic message. "Innocent One, you don't have enough strength for a Penalty Game. Allow me to punish this asshole for you."

"No it has to be me. In your angered state you would kill him." Yugi replied.

"He would deserve it." Atem relayed.

Sensing the Pharaoh's anger increasing, Yugi sent the Pharaoh a reminder. "Pharaoh, you have said it many times, we don't kill people just because we don't like them."

"I wouldn't be killing him because I don't like him, I'd be killing him because he deserves to pay the ultimate price for hurting you!" Atem stipulated.

"And let's not forget vanishing the Royal Sorceress top exposing her breasts to him." Kaiba added.

"Pharaoh and High Priest, please calm down. You two aren't thinking straight. Even though what Ronald did was out of line, it isn't a justifiable reason to kill him. Pharaoh, just get the High Priest down, and I'll handle Ron." Yugi pleaded.

Atem looked up to see Seto glaring at everyone. "Why haven't you taken yourself down High Priest?" Atem asked.

"The fucker cast a Freezing Charm. I can't move my arms to get to my wand. I would appreciate getting down now, Pharaoh." Kaiba replied.

Atem waved his wand casting the counter spells to release Kaiba. Yugi looked directly into Ron's eyes. "Since you broke our wager, I am going to punish you."

Ron felt a shiver of fear run down his spine. He decided to shake it off by taunting the short wizard some more. "You seem too weak to even stand. I bet you can't even hold your wand steady. And what do you plan to do cast the Cruciatus Curse on me? That would just prove how evil you really are."

Yugi stated to speak in Ancient Egyptian. "You are hereby given the Illusion of Literature. At sunset today you will find yourself reenacting a character written by Hans Christian Anderson. You will continue to be locked in the illusion you are a character written by Hans Christian Anderson until high noon the day of the Winter Solstice."

Ron belted out a loud laugh. "I think your weakened state has messed with your head. You aren't speaking English." He taunted.

Black and purple shadows emerged from Yugi's body and circled Ron's symbolizing the sealing of Ron's Penalty Game. When the shadows vanished Yugi's body fell unconscious against Atem's outstretched arm.

Before Ron could retaliate with another curse Kaiba pointed his wand at Ron sending a stunning spell at him. Ron fell over backwards knocked out. "That should keep him quiet long enough to get Yugi to our dorm."

Kaiba conjured a stretcher and Atem levitated Yugi onto it. The High Priest and the Pharaoh were walking in silence. They were both worried for their friend. As they were cruising the corridors they ran into Snape.

Snape took one look at the unconscious Yugi. "What happened?" He asked. Snape's voice was filled with concern for Yugi's wellbeing.

"Sensei, a lot happened. Let's see in a nutshell the red headed asshole pissed Yugi off. And Yugi dished out both a Shadow game and a Penalty Game for him. However his penalty game kicks in at sunset so we have no idea what to expect. Kaiba stunned the punk so we could get Yugi to our dorm." Atem explained.

Snape kept looking at Yugi. As far as he could tell Yugi was breathing erratically and his breaths seemed to be getting further apart. "Yugi looks like he needs the hospital wing not your dorm." Snape stipulated.

"Trust us we are the best to help Yugi right now. That quack of a nurse wouldn't know how to deal with this because she knows absolutely nothing about the physical effects of using Shadow Magic!" Kaiba hollered.

"I've never seen anyone of you look this bad from you guys using your magic." Snape confessed.

"Sensei, Yugi never has instigated a shadow game and being who he is it has taken a major toll on him. Now get the fuck out of our way before I'm forced to blast you." Atem threatened.

Snape stepped aside allowing Kaiba and Atem to pass by. "I swear if Yugi dies because of this I will personally kill that son of a bitch and I will make it as painful as possible." Atem relayed telapathically.

"I say let the tomb robber feed Ron to his Man Eater Bug." Kaiba suggested.

"I should tell you this won't go over well, Dumbledore just got back." Snape said.

"Well if he was more concerned about his students than the vacations he keeps taking something like this could have been avoided." Kaiba growled.

"What do you guys want me to tell Dumbledore?" Snape asked.

"Just tell him the truth. Ron cursed Krista, and then he threatened to vanish her robe. Yugi then protected Krista from the Penalty Game sealed in the contract, before Ron could vanish Krista's robe, by giving Ronald Weasley a Shadow Game with a wager attached to it. When Ron broke the wager Yugi gave him his punishment. Also tell the old fool that all of us think that the red headed sit bag deserved everything he got." Atem said.

"You said the Penalty Game starts at sunset when does it end?" Snape asked.

Kaiba smirked. "High noon the day of the winter solstice."

"That is a month away!" Snape exclaimed.

"The fucker deserved it. I'm sure the old man knows by now that none of us will ever apologize for punishing those who deserve it." Atem stated.

"I'm sure he does, but I better head to his office and inform him of the incident. Also there is something puzzling me, I just hope I'm wrong. Since the only thing I can think of isn't plausible." Snape said before leaving the three men.

Atem was puzzled by what Snape said. "What do you think he meant by that?" Atem asked.

"Don't know and right now don't really care enough to try to find out. We have more important things to deal with." Kaiba stated.

They arrived at the door to their dorm. Kaiba reached into his deck holder and pulled out a card. Holding it up to the door he said. "Seto Kaiba the Blue Eyes White Dragon." The pyramid portrait swung open allowing the group entrance into their dorm.

When they entered the common room they saw Hermione placing a tray of food on the table. Apparently she figured that everyone might be hungry and brought them some lunch. Noticing her friends were finally back, Hermione went over to Atem and took his hand in hers.

The group also noticed that Krista was waving her wand over Yugi's bedroom door. Why she was doing they had no idea. The whole group watched in confusion as she finished casting her spell.

When Krista was done she approached them. "Lower Yugi on the couch, we have a job to do. And when we are done, I need Atem to summon Mahad so that I can yell at him. He was foolish."

Atem did as Krista requested. As he was lowering Yugi he said. "How is Mahad responsible for this? We all know that instigating a Shadow Game is draining to Shadow Wielders, and only draining to the someone who isn't a Shadow Wielder if it is added in the rules like when you did it to Draco."

Krista's entire body language showed the panic she was feeling for her little friend. "Mahad is lucky the shadows didn't consider Yugi cheating because of what he did during Yugi's Shadow Game." Krista stated.

Hermione looked at Krista as she realized something. "You know what went on during that game don't you."

Krista nodded. "I used my Millennium Necklace and had a vision of the entire thing. Draco returned with my wand. He then said he wanted to meet with Ginny for lunch. He told me to make sure Seto and I meet him after dinner at the Room of Requirement. He says he will need a hand catching up at testing the newly created spells or feeding the dragons..." Krista continued to babble out sentences that didn't seem to follow her normal line of logic.

Atem figured Krista's babbling was just a product of trying to contain her fears for Yugi. Fears he knew each member of his court were feeling and dealing with in their own ways. "Now what?" He asked.

Krista bent over Yugi's body and checked his pulse. It was there but seemed to be beating just as unevenly as his breathing. "We need to revive him. He is very weak and I believe he needs a magical jump start."

"How the hell are we supposed to do that?" Atem yelled.

Krista shot a glare at Atem. "Pharaoh, I know you are worried, we all are. But please just zip it, while I explain what needs to be done."

Atem nodded. "Sorry."

"First I need the Queen to go to her room and stay there until the spell is done." Krista commanded.

Hermione kissed Atem before for saying. "Yugi, will be okay."

Atem let out a sigh. "I hope so my Queen, for all our sakes. Yugi is the Court's light and we need him."

Once Hermione was safely in her room Krista continued her explanation. "Now I need the High Priest to pull out the dagger from the bottom of the Rod and poke each finder on Yugi's left hand."

"Wouldn't a sugar tester be less painful?" Atem asked.

"It would, but this spell requires using the dagger from the Millennium Rod." Krista explained.

Kaiba flipped his robe to the side. He pulled out his Millennium Rod. He was about to remove the dagger when a small groan was heard.

"I guess I passed out." Yugi said.

Atem felt a huge wave of relief spread over his entire body. He bent down and gave Yugi a hug. "You gave all of us quite a scare; even though Kaiba's body language didn't show it." Atem stated as he helped lift Yugi into a sitting position.

Krista reached into the pocket of her robe and pulled out a potion vial. Krista held out the vial and said. "Innocent One, drink this. It is a Strengthening Potion and will help you recover faster. And I don't want any arguments about the nasty taste."

"Like you would know, you refuse to take them or any potion." Yugi teased as he took the potion from Krista. He uncorked the vial and drank the entire potion in one gulp. After swallowing the contents he stuck out his tongue. "That was nasty, but I think it is working. I'm starting to feel more energetic."

"That is a relief." Atem said.

Krista gave her friend a hug. "Yugi, I've gotten you excused from the rest of your classes today. And I even have a surprise for you in your room. My way of saying thank you for stopping the punk from vanishing my robe."

Atem's mind started to race with every possible thing Krista could have done. "Royal Sorceress, what did you do?" He asked.

Krista crossed her arms over her chest. "Nothing bad, just something I thought was necessary."

Atem groaned as he could see the mischievous grin creep across Krista's face. "You always say that when you have done something magical, that I wouldn't have approved of."

"I'm sure you'll think what I did was a good thing." Krista said.

Atem shook his head he really didn't have any idea what Krista could have done. Deciding that he just wanted to continue with his day he said. "I think I'm going to go get Hermione and see if she wants to skip our next class."

Kaiba raised an eyebrow at Atem. "Good luck with that Pharaoh, I don't think she has it in her to skip a class." The CEO said.

"I'll just persuade her." Atem said.

Krista smirked. "By Ra Pharaoh, you have been corrupted by me after all."

Atem hit his palm to his forehead. He knew he shouldn't have worded his last statement like that. "Krista I wasn't referring to sex, not everyone thinks like you do."

Krista laughed. "I've said it before and I'll say it again." Snapping her fingers she said. "Yes they do they just don't admit it." Atem entered his room and moments later exited with Hermione dangling on his arm.

Krista decided to tease her friends some more. "You two look cute. Before you leave to go rendezvous in a secluded corner of the castle, I need Atem to summon Mahad."

Atem wasn't sure why Krista needed to speak with the Dark Magician, but decided to humor her. He reached into his deck holder and pulled out his card. Holding it in the air he said. "I summon the Dark Magician."

The Dark Magician came through a portal and asked. "How may I serve you, Pharaoh?"

"The Royal Sorceress has some questions for you and I command you to answer them." Atem replied.

Mahad nodded. "I figured as much. What do you need Royal Sorceress?"

Krista glared at the Dark Magician. She had never had to scold a Duel Monster before and wasn't sure what to expect. "Why did you do it? I saw the whole game and noticed you kept changing the questions so that Yugi would get ones that he knew the answer to."

"He instigated a game that was too well balanced. It didn't put the game in his favor." Mahad replied.

Krista shook her head. "That is because of who he is. He is the keeper of the Scales for that reason. He is all about fair play and you tilted the scale in his favor. He wanted a fair game and you didn't give it to him. And furthermore you are lucky that the shadows didn't see that as cheating. Just because I personally believe you were correct when you suggested that a Shadow Game be in favor of the instigator, doesn't mean every Shadow Wielder will follow that guideline. Yugi was trusting his instincts, and you pretty much made it so that he won in one turn." Krista stated.

"I swore to protect the Pharaoh when I sealed myself becoming the Dark Magician. Yugi as the Pharaoh's reincarnate gets the same protection from me. The shadows know that, and therefore wouldn't see me using a little magic to change the questions as cheating because I wasn't the one playing the game. I was the host and as the host, have different conditions. The only command I had to follow was to read the questions. I wasn't commanded not to change them. Also I think the jerk deserved it. He hurt you and as my descendent I do care what goes on in your life. Just because I won't let you command me, it doesn't mean I don't care what happens to you. I knew that jerk wouldn't keep up his end of the wager, so I made sure the Pharaoh's reincarnate won so that he would punish the one who so foolishly hurt my descendent."

Atem sighed. "Mahad that was a foolish risk to take, but I understand why you did it. Next time let the game play the way it is intended to be played."

Mahad gave Atem a bow. "Of course, Pharaoh." Atem gave Mahad a nod to indicate that he was dismissed. The Dark Magician vanished through his portal.

"I can't believe he did that." Yugi stated.

"He was only looking out for you." Atem said.

"I know, I think I'll just head to my room to rest. See you all later." Yugi got off the couch and headed to the door to his room. When he tried to open the door he found it locked. "Why is my door locked?"

Krista smirked. "I told you I had a surprise for you." She stated as she waved her wand unlocking Yugi's door. When Yugi opened the door everyone stared at his room with wide eyes.

His room was completely covered in rose petals. A dozen lit candles were levitated around the room. And lying on his bed was a brunette everyone knew. "Tea, how are you here!" Yugi exclaimed.

Tea smiled as she got off Yugi's bed and walked over to him. "Krista is a good friend and as a good friend she knew that you would need someone who loves you to help you recover faster. So she barged in on my dance class saying that a friend was in the hospital. She then made me drink so kind of potion that tasted like cinnamon bears. According to Krista the potion is designed to let those who are not non-magical access to areas with repelling charms for those who aren't magical. She then took me straight to your dorm by a Shadow Portal where I waited until you opened the door to see me here."

Yugi gave tea a big kiss before looking over at Krista. "Thank you. I think having Tea here today will make me feel better." Krista only nodded her head in response. Yugi then closed the door to his room.

"I can't believe you brought Tea here!" Hermione exclaimed.

"I'll take her back to Julliard before dinner time. I just figured Yugi would need the person he loves the most to be with him this afternoon. He just went through a major change in his power level and only someone he truly loves can help him come to terms with that." Krista explained.

"I take it you speak from experience." Atem stipulated.

"I do." Krista replied.

"That also sounded so romantic. I never knew you had it in you not to turn something into a sexual thing." Atem teased.

"You should know me by now, to know that I made sure Tea brought a whole box of condoms with her just in case Yugi is up for some love making as well." Krista replied.

Atem rolled his eyes. "Of course you did since everything with you revolves around sex."

Krista smirked. "Not everything."

Hermione looked at her wristwatch. When she noticed the time she commanded. "Come on you three we better head to Ancient Runes before we are late."

Atem stared at Hermione. "My Queen we just got done dealing with Yugi almost dying and you want to go to class."

"I told you in our room I wouldn't miss my classes no matter how charming you are." Hermione said. "We need to learn otherwise we won't be able to manage next year."

"I don't see how Ancient Runes will help when about a quarter of the translations are wrong." Atem grumbled.

"You never know. Voldemort just might have used Runes in hiding one of his Horcruxes and we will need to know what the wizarding community thinks the Runes say even when they aren't correct." Hermione stood on her toes and softly blew in Atem's ear. This caused the Pharaoh to flush. "We need to be prepared for any and all possibilities." She whispered.

Atem sighed he knew he was beat. "Fine my Queen you win. I can never say no to you. Particularly when you do that."

Hermione smirked. "Why do you think I did that?"

"Where did you learn to use my weakness against me?" Atem asked.

Hermione looked up innocently at her lover and batted her eyes. "Krista once told me that to get what you want you must always know your lover's biggest turn-on."

"Royal Sorceress, you have corrupted my Queen!" Atem hollered.

Hermione gave Atem a kiss before saying. "Hardly my love, she just gave me a few sure fire pointers."

Atem took Hermione by the hand. And Kaiba wrapped his arm around Krista's waist. The four friends left their dorm and started heading to their next class. All four had the same question on their mind. What would become of Ron at sunset? The four couldn't help but snicker the whole way to class as they each had a mental picture of what might happen during dinnertime.
