Author's Notes: I owe you people an apology. I called you sadistic, but I didn't mean to get anybody upset. And not all of the reviewers were happy about Tea dying. So I'm contrite. Anyway, I'm not killing off characters because people hate them, there will be more beloved characters who pass away (Bakura for sure). I'd also like to thank my reviewers, you're all so wonderful! I've also decided to try and get a new chapter out every weekend, so try to refrain yourself from sending me viruses, kay? This chapter is more relaxed, but they have to catch at least one break, right? Continue reading!

Chapter 3: Lessons at the Holiday Inn

"Harry, are you sure? I mean, how do you know?" Ron said in an increasingly panicking voice. Harry told them all about the phone call from Tristan and how he had heard Lucious Malfoy on the phone.

"Oh, Harry!" Hermione said, "How are we going to tell Yugi that they followed us here, and just killed another one of his friends! I mean, we were supposed to be safe here, but now we're putting everyone else in danger!"

Harry could see her point. Dumbledore had obviously made a big mistake by taking them here. "We have to tell him. I think he definitely has a right to know, instead of just watching the television and hearing about it on there."

"What are we going to do about the Death Eaters?" Hermione said.

"I know!" Ron exclaimed, his face brightening up. "Dumbledore said that he sent an old teacher here! Maybe they can do something about it!"

"Right," Harry agreed, his spirits lifting as well. "As long as it's not Lockhart, then we have some hope."

O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O

The day after, they were all up and dressed by 7:45, and walking up to Yugi's room to tell him about Tristan (last night his Grandpa told them he was sleeping, and they didn't want to disturb him). Hermione hesitated a bit before gently knocking on the door.

"Yugi? Are you awake?" she asked. They all jumped when Yami opened the door, and Yugi was asleep on the bed.

"Yugi asked me to take you all to your teacher, if that's what you were wondering about," he said.

"Er – we also had some – more bad news to tell Yugi," Harry said carefully. Yami raised his eyebrow.

"More bad news?"

"Yeah," Ron said. "His other friend, Tristan, I think, died. Like Tea did." Yami's face fell.

"How do you know about this?" They all launched into an explanation about the phone call and their suspicions. "So your enemies have followed you here? And they're killing us off one by one to find you?"

"That's certainly what it seems like," Hermione said. "Harry thinks that Fleur, the girl who summoned Yami Bakura, told them which world Dumbledore had sent us to."

"I tell all the people who went with me to your world to watch out, and to not let anyone in weird clothing into their home," Yami offered.

"I just hope they can hold them off," Harry said, "our kind have spells to unlock doors and even cloaks to make us invisible."

"It's a start," Yami said. "We'll talk to your teacher later. Perhaps they can help. The Kaiba will be fine, he's in Europe on business, last I heard. But Mokuba was staying at home, though."

Ron thought for a moment then said, "Maybe you should phelytone him, then, to tell him to get Mokuba in Europe as well."

"It's telephone, Ron."

"Well excuse me if I'm not a Muggle."

O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O

Yami walked with them to the Holiday Inn, then went back home. Yugi's Grandpa had phoned the school to tell them that Yugi couldn't attend that day, so he had no use staying in town. Harry, Ron and Hermione entered the lobby when they realized something.

"Er – did the letter say which room the professor was in, Harry?" Hermione asked timidly. Harry looked at the letter again and realized that it didn't say how they would find the professor.

"How many rooms are in here? You reckon we can look through them all?" Ron said, eyeing the elevator suspiciously.

"Ron, there are this building is 10 storeys high, I don't think that we can actually look through all the rooms." Harry looked around the crowd of people in the lobby to see if he could see any familiar faces. "Maybe Dumbledore left something in our school bags." They all rooted through their schoolbooks and parchment but found nothing.

"Well, maybe we can ask the desk clerk if she has a message for us or something," Hermione suggested. They waited in line until their turn, then approached the sticklike woman sitting at the desk, chewing a wad of gum conspicuously.

"Yes?" she said, leering down on them.

"Er, Ms. Rei Hino?" Ron said, looking at her golden nametag. "We were wondering if anyone had left a message for, Ron Weasley, or Harry Potter, or-"

"Does 'Potter, Granger, and Weasley' register?" the clerk said, looking at a little note.

"Yeah, that's us," Harry said. The clerk handed him the note and went back to typing rapidly. They moved out of the line and opened up the note. Harry read it aloud.

Harry, Ron and Hermione,

I am on the 4th floor in room 46. Come as soon as you can.

"We still don't know which one it is!" Ron said.

"Look, there's only two possibilities as to who it is. Quirrel's dead, Crouch is gone, Fleur's in Azkaban, and Dumbledore taught the class for the rest of last year," Hermione pointed out. "So it can only be Lockhart or Lupin." Harry and Ron looked at each for a moment, then in a flash, they all raced towards the elevator.

When they had finally found room 46 (Ron wasn't too sure of the elevator) they stopped for a moment.

"You think we should knock?" Ron asked. He needn't of, because just then the door opened.

"Lupin!" They all cried out in both relief and happiness.

"Who'd you expect?" Lupin said, grinning. "That git Lockhart? They haven't been able to put his memory back yet. Still at St. Mungos, I saw him there just before I left."

"What were you doing there?" Harry asked as he, Ron and Hermione wandered into the room.

"Getting the potion for my transformation. As I said before, I never was good at mixing potions," Lupin answered. "I highly doubt the hotel would be pleased if they found out one of their customers was a werewolf."

"Professor, before we start, there's something that we think you should know about," Hermione said anxiously.

"What? About that girl dying?" Lupin asked.

"You read the paper?"

"I saw it on the news, with that Japanese translation spell that Dumbledore used, Harry."

"We think that the Death Eaters have followed Harry here," Ron said. They explained their suspicions and the phone call from Tristan. Lupin's face went grave and he looked out the window for a moment.

"You three had better be on your best guard, and never go anywhere alone. I'll keep my eyes peeled, but there's not much that I can do. I'll try and contact Dumbledore, and see if he can help." Lupin took out his wand and a thick textbook. "But we still have to continue our lessons. Do you have everything you need?"

The next few hours were spent as school time, and to Harry's surprise, Lupin even took the classes according to their old timetables. Potions wasn't nearly as bad as he had thought it to be at Hogwarts, without Snape and the Slytherins to ruin everything. Before they knew it, it was time for lunch.

"We'll just go to the hotel restaurant. You really must try their sushi, it's quite good," Lupin stated as he put his books on the television set.

But Harry wasn't listening to him. Something outside the window had caught his attention. Something floating over a large skyscraper, that was green, skull shaped, and had a snake protruding from its mouth…

"Lupin, quick! Look out the window!" Harry half shouted. Ron and Hermione rushed over to the window with the professor and spotted it as well.

Lupin's eyes widened, then shrank to a determined glare. "C'mon, you three, we might be able to find them. The Dark Mark hasn't been up for very long."

With that said, they all rushed out of the room, plans for lunch forgotten.

Review Response (5 reviews? I hope this chapter gets more…):

YugiKitty and MalikKitsune: Erm…Okay. I guess that's your opinion, then. Thanks for the review!

Angel Reaper: Yes to both characters and I love Tamora Pierce. She's my second favourite author, next to Joanne Rowling. Thanks for telling me why it was weird. I was rather puzzled when I read your first review. Thank you for the review!

Nips: Quite understandable about dub lines. No, pretty much all of Yugi's friends are going to die (the ones who came to Harry's world with him, anyway). Yugi himself won't die, so don't worry. I don't think I'm the sadistic one, because sadistic means "delight in cruelty". I don't actually like torturing characters or killing them off (I have to do it for this story, though). And as any of my family members will vouch, I'm not cackling at my computer screen as I kill off another character. So, I'm pretty sure I'm not sadistic – except for when it comes to Lord of the Rings. I hate Frodo and his pack of midgets. Thanks for reviewing!

Goggle-Girl: Yay! I'm so glad people like you have been waiting for this sequel! I can understand you feeling sorry for Tristan, but Yugi isn't going to be depressed for months, because he's going to try and help them find the Death Eaters and save his friends. He'll grieve afterwards, I guess. Sorry if I caused you grief, but that's the way the story has to go. Thanks for reviewing!

lily22: I must admit that she has gone through much torture, but I didn't kill her off for that reason (see my Author's Notes). I'm glad you don't think it's bad though. If I got a flame from anyone I'd go into a deep blue funk again and name all my faults. Don't take it personally, I have a very low self esteem and tend to do that. Anyway, I'm very happy that you reviewed and am not mad at me. Thanks!
