There are lots of nice people out there in the fanfic world. Yeah, the last
chap was really short, so I'm updating a little earlier than I expected.
I don't own YuGiOh, I don't own Harry Potter.
~*~*~*~
Yugi eased open the talking painting that served as a door to Gryffindor tower, all of his friends trailing behind him. The painting lady was really nice, but warned them that they might get in trouble for missing the entire morning.
They turned the corner and went down the hallway, getting lost and pointing at all the shiny things, until Yugi, who was staring at a clanking suit of armor, walked smack into a tall, dark figure.
The man peered at them from behind stray locks of greasy, black hair. "Well, well, if it isn't our new Gryffindor guests."
Anzu smiled as best she could. The guy was giving her the creeps, though. "Um, yeah. Uh, sorry if we're late for anything. We all had a case of jet- lag."
The man acted as if he didn't hear her, maybe because he wasn't sure what jet-lag was. "As you are the school's guests, I am not permitted to punish you on your first day for being late."
He looked a little peeved about that, but continued. "No matter. You may have missed Dumbledore's classes: history and mathematics, but my class with you is in just a few minutes. Yes, I believe the rest of the students will be coming out from their classes right about.now."
Somewhere, a loud bell rang, and the halls suddenly flooded with students, all pushing past them, trying to get to their next classes.
The grease-man turned to them again. "My name is Professor Snape. I will be teaching you science, or more specifically, Muggle Chemistry. Unfortunately, as I am the only one with any form of experience in this area, I am also Potions Master, and I have many students, many classes. You will be learning your lessons in the back of my classroom, whilst I teach some of my fifth years Potions."
He turned and strode down the hallway, and they followed. They could hear him mumbling indistinctly about someone's long bottoms and melted cauldrons.
~*~*~*~
Yugi looked up from his book in 'Chemistry' class. They'd all been given the standard textbooks that they would've gotten at home. Only it had been all in English. Snape had to shake his stick-thingy (A/N: no sick minds allowed!) at their books so that they could read them with ease.
Snape had left them to read 'Chapter 1: The Exciting Impact of Chemistry on Our World Today' and answer the questions at the end. Normally, it would've been a cinch for them all and they'd've been done by now, but instead of pens or pencils and loose-leaf, they'd been given feathers and wallpaper.
It took them a while to figure out how to hold something as thin as a 'quill' (as they called it; it still looked like a feather to Jou) and it annoyed them all greatly because they kept on forgetting to dip it into their inkwells before it ran out. So far, Yugi's was so blotchy that he couldn't even remember which language he'd written it in.
Yugi looked over at Seto. Since he was a grade or two older, he'd been given a separate book and different work. He was currently leaning back in his chair reading some Japanese novel. He'd been done for a long time because he was lucky enough to have left a pencil in his jacket pocket. Yugi looked at Seto's finished work. All in English, no smudges, smears, or blotches.
Snape had been terrorizing Harry, Ron, and Hermione because they'd turned around and tried to help Anzu and Honda with their feathers. The grease fire waiting to happen looked over Yugi's shoulder.
"What is this mess? Is it in English or Japanese?" he sneered. He seemed to be good at doing that.
For a moment, Yugi could feel Yami flaring up in him. Feigning certainty, he said indignantly, "English of course; can't you read?"
Snape looked murderous. Yugi could see a couple of Gryffindors high-fiving behind Snape's back; and some Slytherins looking shocked.
Snape cracked his knuckles, as if we wanted to reach for his stick-thingy again, but settled for whirling around and stomping over to the Gryffindors who'd cheered Yugi on.
"Five points for mocking a teacher behind his back!"
Yugi wondered if the man was hiding eyes under the back of his oily hair.
~*~A Few Weeks Later~*~
Ryou was enjoying himself at Hogwarts, he had to admit. The teachers were nice, except for Snape, the kids were nice, except the Slytherins, and the castle was nice, except for the dungeons. But all in all, Ryou was having a pretty good time so far.
It was Saturday, a week away from Halloween, and Ron was going on and on about some match that was happening today.
"Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw, a pretty good game expected today." He said. "The weathers nice, and Harry's been practicing with the team like mad."
Ryou looked up. "Harry's playing in this, er, Quidditch match today?
Ron nodded, proudly. "He's team captain for the Gryffindors, and he's Seeker."
Yami turned to Ron. "So this is a sport of some kind?"
"Yeah! The best one ever!" Ron looked at Yami like he was crazy. "You'll see, today at the match. You can sit with us and I can tell you all about it."
~*~Back in Gryffindor Tower~*~
Jou and Honda stepped in through the hole/door. They were thoroughly excited and anxious to see Harry. The game had been amazing, everyone got into it. Anzu had been screaming at the top of her lungs, and Ryou had done a happy dance with Yugi when Gryffindor won. Even Bakura and Yami had woken up and applauded for Harry when he swerved right around the opposing Asian girl and stole the golden 'Snitch' out from under her.
Finally, Harry stepped back in through the portrait hole and was practically trampled in a mass of hugs and dogpiles. A party raged in the tower and Yugi-tachi ended up teaching their new friends a happy J-Pop song. They couldn't help but laugh as Fred and George, Ron's brothers, completely missed the tune, but actually got the difficult, super-fast words right.
Yugi was having a great time, but Yami had gone to see Dumbledore about something hours ago. Getting worried, he tried his link. Yami answered back.
//Hey, Aibou. Anything wrong?//
/No, just wondering where you are. You're missing a hell of a party./
Yugi heard his yami chuckle. //I'll be there in a minute to join in the festivities.//
Yugi closed the link, still wondering what Yami was doing.
~*~In Dumbledore's Office~*~
Dumbledore asked, "Yami, do you have any ideas yet on how to defeat Voldemort?"
Yami raked his fingers through his spikes of hair. "I have a game in mind, but the stakes are going to be difficult to determine. I have no idea what he wants."
Dumbledore sighed. "I know, but it will take a great amount of trust- gaining on your and Yugi's part."
Yami nodded, listening.
~*~Two Hours Later~*~
"Yugi, I play the Flame Swordsman in attack mode. And this one, face down." Jou placed the cards down in front of him as Yugi 'hm'-ed in thought.
The party had died down a little, but only because Jou was itching to duel someone and challenged Yugi. Now everyone's eyes were on them, almost completely silent.
Yugi and Jou were down to 100 LP each. Jou had the Flame Swordsman out and Yugi only had the Mystical Elf in defense.
Yugi pulled out his card and lay it down. "I play the Dark Magician in attack mode. Dark Magic attack."
He said this lazily, because they were playing conventionally on a table in front of the fireplace. Seto had offered to lend them his duel discs, but Hermione said that the magic in the castle might make them short-circuit. Plus, there wasn't much space.
"Hah!" Jou cried out. "I had my trap card out, Mirror Force! I win!"
Yugi smiled. "Not quite yet, Jou. I had my Mystical Elf out, chanting, and she reflects the attack again, only this time, Mirror Force won't work."
"Damn." Jou said quietly, thinking hard. He removed his now defeated Flame Swordsman and decided to draw. He shut his eyes tightly and concentrated hard.
"Heart of the Cards, Jou?" Yugi asked bemusedly.
"Yep." He grunted before pulling one out. "HAH HAH! My Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
He was greeted by silence. Anzu whispered to the crowd. "That's a really, really rare and strong card."
"Oooohhhh." Collective gasp.
"I'm having my Red-Eyes attack your Mystical Elf." He said somewhat smugly.
"Um.okay, Jou, if you're sure." With a strange little smile he put his Mystical Elf into his Discard Pile. "I win." Yugi said simply.
"Huh? Oh, crud, I forgot."Jou smacked his forehead.
"Wait, what happened?" Harry asked Anzu.
"Well, the Red-Eyes may be powerful, but since the ONLY cards that they had out were Dark Magician and Red-Eyes, the Dark Magician wins, because, well, it has 2500 ATK points and Red-Eyes has 2400." Anzu explained. "If Jou had just about any other magic card out, he could've won."
"Yeah," Jou sighed. "Look what I had in my hand." He pulled out one card and laid it down for all to see. It was 'Follow Wind'.
Jou sighed. "It increases the attack and defense points of a winged-type monster by 300. I was so preoccupied with disarming Yugi of his Elf; I forgot that I had it."
Yugi smiled. "It's okay Jou, easy mistake. I've done it dozens of times with Yami." Jou shrugged and started to gather his cards. Yugi did the same, but all the while thinking, 'Where is he?'
Yami stepped suddenly through the portrait hole, yawning. He saw Yugi and Jou collecting up their cards. He smiled and walked over to them.
"Who won?"
Yugi looked up. "Me, but Jou should've."
Yami looked over at Jou. Jou was mumbling to himself about something.
Yami yawned. "Well, I'm tired Yugi, so I'm just going to go to bed."
He disappeared into his Puzzle.
Some people still gasped when they did this, but fewer and fewer every time.
Yugi just yawned himself, and started up the stairs. 'Sleepy time.'
~*~*~*~
Ah, is that any better? Oh, I made up NONE of the cards. I did my research before I wrote this.
I don't own YuGiOh, I don't own Harry Potter.
