Shadowkyra: explanation about everything involving Pegasus coming right up, you're right in virtually all respects.
ShadiStar13: it would be an interesting clash to be sure, Umbridge Vs Pegasus.
SRRH: Pegasus's theory involving Yugi and a bowing Unicorn will be mentioned again during the next Care of Magical Creatures lesson, only it will involve either Ryo, Marik or Kaiba, and either Mermaids, Centaurs or Dragons (Kaiba to Dragons is kind of obvious really but there you go) thanks for clearing that up, thinking 'git, another exclusive lost' I'll try and find it, I have actually been through all the Yugioh fan fic pages, but may have missed several hundred by accident (it took me the better part of a year, best part of my year though.)
Knight25: Spoiler alert! Shadi and Ishizu are planned to make an appearance in the fic at a later date, I'll get back to you on the specifics.
SilverDragon-Purity: yes way, he saves Mokuba and Tea and Grampa's lives (Mokuba been a Kaiba is typically unappreciative and is referred to by Pegasus as "brat" he also makes fun of Kaiba and is obviously only there to stop the world been destroyed and only then because he presently happens to live on it, he also manages to make fun of Kaiba several times as well, did you notice for the most part he picked on the Slytherins? I have a reason for that too.
Archon Dragon: some toon's Gemini elf and goblin attack force toons for example can be summoned normally but just can't attack for one turn, plus he always has his relinquished as back up.
Chapter 32) interrogation
"Class dismissed" declares Pegasus, as the class started to disperse he called out a second time "Oh and can Yugi boy, Kaiba boy, Mr. Ishtar and Bakura boy stay behind" his hair seemed to cover more of his face right now, making it hard to read his already partially obscured features "I want a word with you about further studies to catch you up" this suited the gang fine, they'd been planning to hang back and have a word with him anyway, it could hardly be a coincidence that he gave them the perfect excuse.
"Pegasus" Kaiba growls out the word in distastes but before he can continue Pegasus holds up his hands and says "hold that thought" his millennium Eye glows through his hair for a few seconds after which he calls out loudly "Mr. Potter, Ronnie boy and Granger girl, your going to be late for herbology" nothing "I'm not going to tell you again and while your curiosity does you credit, you should remember it has killed many cats in its time"
Harry hiding behind a set of bushes with Ron and Hermione eavesdropping on the new students conversation with the new teacher, get up surprised, how had he known he was spying on them? "He should have replaced Trelawney, I'm telling you" moaned Ron kicking a stone along as they have no choice but to leave for their next lesson.
"The same to you Draco boy" Pegasus pulls out his wand and fires of a spell into another set of bushes causing Malfoy to jump out and run away scowling "I'll have to put him in detention some time" murmurs Pegasus thoughtfully.
"Yes sir" Pegasus continues turning back to the gang "having seen roughly his feelings and intentions towards you I can tell you know that your going to have trouble with that one" he claims darkly "like we needed you to tell us that" mutters Kaiba, Marik nods in agreement "we can take care of ourselves" he declares confidently as they start walking along with Pegasus past the forbidden forest.
"What are you doing here Pegasus?" asks Yami taking over from Yugi he folds his arms and glares at his former foe.
"That's Professor Pegasus to you" corrects Pegasus who smiles "and I also believe that answers your other question as well, I am teaching here" he tells them spreading his arms out wide. Kaiba grits his teeth "answer our questions" he growls "you're a wizard right?"
Pegasus sighs "yes I am a wizard, well a squib actually, but that changed a long time ago" he runs his hand through his hair, twisting the long strands slightly.
"But you never used any magic during duellist kingdom" protests Ryo "well except for the Millennium items" he states.
Pegasus shakes his head "I like all Wizards aren't supposed to use magic against and around muggles, well more or less anyway, of course now it seems I needn't have bothered as you're obviously not muggles or you wouldn't be here"
"What about the Millennium items?" Yami demands to know "what do these Wizards know about them?"
"Well they didn't count, for the most part the magical world is ignorant of there existence and power beyond mere legends, well until recently that is"
"Recently?" Marik asks sharply "what have you done?"
Pegasus snorts "I was just about to ask you that" he snaps back "all I know is that a few months ago I was relaxing on my island paradise, and then…I received an unwelcome visitor"
"Kaiba didn't drop in looking for some new cards again did he?" asks Marik smirking, Kaiba growls at him.
"There I was minding my own business, just asked Croquet to top me up with another glass of red wine when a Death Eater showed up, he killed Kemo and demanded that …" seeing their blank faces Pegasus sighs once again "a Death Eater is a servant of the Dark Lord I trust you have heard of him?" he asks snappily.
"Oh you mean Lord Voldicourt?" asks Marik mischievously but if he had hoped to provoke a reaction out of Pegasus he was disappointed "The Death Eater demanded to know all I knew about the seven items of power from Egypt, ring any bells?"
"The millennium items" Yami realises and swears in ancient Egyptian much to Yugi's displeasure even though only Marik could understand what he said.
"Fortunately" he pulls away his hair revealing the Millennium Eye "I was once again in possession of my Eye and was able to vanquish him quite easily, he expected to find a weakling who couldn't perform the simplest of spells and not an item bearer"
"Shadow Realm?" asks Ryo timidly, Pegasus shakes his head "dead" he replies, covering up his Eye again "and while were on the subject when my eye returned three of my cards disappeared, you wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" he asks, Ryo shakes his head, Pegasus sniffs in annoyance, clearly not believing him.
"How did these servants of Voldermort find out about the items" Yami asks critically still suspicious of his former foe, although why since he hangs around with Marik, Ishtar and Bakura who've each tried to kill him at one point or another and Kaiba his arch rival who destroyed his Grand fathers Blue Eyes White Dragon card, so why he should treat Pegasus any differently is beyond me at the moment but he does.
"Of this I do not know" replies a vexed Pegasus "as I said before the story of the Millennium items is incomplete and vastly inaccurate and in case all references are millennia's old and it is not common knowledge, it is considered a mere myth" he explains.
"This Voldermort is after the items" Ishtar states coldly apparently furious that someone other than him and his partner/rival Bakura was after the items and the power of the pharaoh.
"It seems likely" replies Pegasus stiffly "I wasn't able to glean much information, from the Death eater before his death, he didn't know much"
"So why follow us here?" Yami asks him, Pegasus looks offended "why Yugi boy, the world doesn't revolve around you, ever since I had my eye taken by him" gestures at Ryo "It hasn't been as strong, as it once was, and as you should be aware by now, the Millennium items are not infallible, I do not believe that even with the power of my eye that I'd be able to survive an encounter and duel with the Dark lord, I came here to hide, Hogwarts is the one place he can't reach, Professor Dumbledore is the only man that he fears, I was as surprised as you when I saw you just now"
"We uh" Yugi having taken over from Yami had to admit, their story was pretty weird "we stumbled on a strange alley place in London, and we were contacted afterwards by Professor Dumbledore who offered us a place here" Kaiba grunts not adding that that didn't include him.
"Diagon alley" murmurs Pegasus half smirking, half in wonder "that was you"
"Yes well as interesting as this is" snaps Kaiba intruding on the sombre attitude the interrogation had taken on "what can we do about him reading our minds?"
"Well I can tell you that his mind is blocked to me by the Dark presence in the ring" offers Pegasus helpfully, pointing at an uncomftable Ryo.
"Have you tried reading our minds?" asks Ishtar mockingly. Pegasus uses the Eye on him, but the Rod glows preventing the eyes power been used on Marik Ishtar he turns to Yugi "you and your other selves mental shields are more developed than the last time" he winces "I could probably get through them, but it would take a lot of time and effort"
"And I suppose you can read me like a book?" asks Kaiba bitterly, Pegasus focuses on him but frowns as does Marik as his Millennium Rod glows on its own accord "not this again" he growls "the Rod belongs to me now" Pegasus gasps "I can't Ishtar's Millennium Rod has presented my Eye from reading his mind"
"How?" mumbles Kaiba "it never worked in Duellist Kingdom" Marik shrugs "proximity, I was half way across the world during that"
"Hum, well if that's settled you should get going your late enough as it is" Pegasus raises his arm to point at the nearby greenhouse "tell Professor Sprout that I needed to devise a plan of extra studies to help you catch up to fifth year level"
Marik, Ryo, Yugi and even Kaiba blanche, Yami takes over from Yugi "you can't be serious" he protests, Pegasus grins "I'll see you about the specifics after you've finished your run of detentions, don't look so surprised, your minds may be blocked to me, but others aren't" he leaves the four dumbstruck Duellists standing in a cabbage patch and strolls away.
