Okay, I'm in an extremely good mood today, for certain reasons...so here it
is. I wanted to get this chapter out before Monday, because that's when I
start band camp...evil...band camp...august sun...14 hours a day...no
ff.net...the withdrawal symptoms...
Wish me lots of sunscreen, peoples!

Yami blinked. After a short pause of dead silence, the stands around him had erupted into screams of joy, even from Voldemort's supporters. The stands dissolved and everyone came crashing down towards them.
Yami, who had just defeated a powerful and dangerous wizard, suddenly melted into a puddle of fear, and let Yugi take his body back...just as Jou, Honda, and Anzu tackled him to the ground.
Groaning under their weight, Yugi whimpered to Yami, /Coward./
Yami just smiled. They sat like that for a moment, with Anzu hugging Yugi's head like she was some fangirl with a glomping disorder, but his three friends soon stood up and got off of him. Ryou helped Yugi to his feet and he found himself face-to-face with Dumbledore.
Yami rose out of the Puzzle as the Shadow Realm dissolved and they all found themselves standing in Hogsmeade again.
Dumbledore smiled. "Well done Yami Yugi, well done. Voldemort will be imprisoned in the Shadow Realm for at least long enough for us to come up with a fool-proof plan."
Yami nodded and shook hands with the old man. "Good luck. I was happy to help."
"As we are most grateful for it, maybe we'll see you again someday, eh?" Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "You and your friends are welcome to stay for the rest of the year, and are always welcome to come back."
Yami smiled. "Thank you, but I think Seto's had enough. He needs his company and his computers. We would appreciate if you would just let us stay for another week or two."
Dumbledore nodded and smiled. Then, he turned around to face all the Death Eaters. "No where to run..." he said dangerously.
The dark figures jumped at this and tried to Apparate, but the ones that did were presently stunned, falling over into the road. Yugi could see couple dozen wizards behind Voldemort's supporters. All of them had matching uniform robes and with their magic 'sticks' out.
The Death Eaters that were still standing dropped their wands and held their arms up as the uniformed men circled around them.
Yugi smiled. /It's over./
Yami nodded, but thought, //Maybe...Maybe...'//
Yami was about to turn back to the castle, but someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around. It was Harry.
"Yami?" Harry asked nervously.
"Harry," Yami gasped, "I'm sorry about...'
"No need." Harry smiled. "You did a great thing back there. You saved us all."
"But I risked your life."
"It didn't matter, just as long as you won..." Harry shrugged and scampered off to his friends.
~*~*~*~
Their last week and a half at Hogwarts was pleasant. It was wintertime, and thick snow fell from the sky, setting off several Snowball Fights between certain Hogwarts students and the Domino kids.
In fact, it was on their last night at Hogwarts, Christmas Eve that Yugi, Jou, Honda, Ryou, Seto, both yamis, and Anzu had finally beaten the magic school students. It wasn't easy considering Harry, Ron, the Weasley twins, a couple of others, and even Hermione were on flying broomsticks.
But with an incredible triple sneak attack on Harry by Yami, Yugi, and Seto, the game was finally won, and they all packed back into the warm school.
"We let you win." Ron wheezed out.
"Is that why you're all winded?" Anzu teased.
~*~*~*~
That night, at the feast, most of the school had stayed at school that year because Dumbledore had promised a huge farewell feast for their new friends.
But, most of the school was startled to see that most of the food in front of them wasn't their traditional Christmas turkey and gravy, but more Japanese. There was sushi, again, but there was also fried rice, tempura, udon, sashimi, and others that they had a hard time pronouncing. It was extremely funny watching all-wizard family students like Ron give up on using chopsticks and instead making good use of Wingardium Leviosar.
At the end, Dumbledore stood up, and everyone immediately quieted down. He looked around the Hall. Most of the Slytherin table was missing, in for questioning and visiting their parents.
But Dumbledore put on a smile and began to speak. "For the first half of this year, we were proud to have played host for several, amazing muggle students. One, or two if you'd like to look at it that way, whose presence has helped us in our ongoing mission to stop the evil that has plagued some of us...
"But now is their time to leave, for they are greatly missed by their own world. However, I am sure that they have made a lasting impression upon all of you. Voldemort and his ideas suggest that muggles are less competent than wizards. But he was wrong..."
Everyone cheered and clapped and drank to their new heroes, who didn't know what to do except blush and wave at the crowd.
~*~*~*~
Harry sat up in his four-poster and yawned. He'd woken up late. It was springtime, and everyone was studying for exams. Last night, in particular, he, Ron, and Hermione had stayed up until 2:30 in the morning for their O.W.L.s.
He got dressed and headed for the door to their dorm, too lazy to fully wake Ron, and settled for giving him a good, hard kick in the side.
Ron just mumbled something about "Sugarland, where faeries give you cotton candy hats..."
Harry stood for a moment with one eyebrow raised at his best friend but just shook his head and turned out the door on heel.
He walked down to the Great Hall and sat down at the table across from Hermione, who was already there reading a book and mumbling about some goblin rebellion.
As he pulled a plate of muffins towards him, the post owls came streaming in. He instinctively looked up and to his surprise, saw Hedwig, carrying a package. She dropped it into his open hands and soared off again.
Hermione looked over her book. "What is it, Harry?"
Harry shrugged and began to tear it open. A couple of packs of something fell into his lap, wrapped in metallic foil. He read the name on them.
"Official Duel Monsters..." he whispered. He rummaged through the brown paper wrapping and found a note.
Dear Harry,
I'd thought you and your friends would want to build some kind of deck, since you all liked Duel Monsters so much and I just heard the game won't be going to England any time too soon (A/N: don't know if this is true...). I have extra because my grandpa owns a game shop, so enjoy! And if you have any questions, just write back. Hope you pass your tests and stuff, and have a great summer!"
--Yugi and Yami
Harry smiled and stuffed them into his bag for later. 'Wait 'til Ron gets a load of this...'
~*~*~*~
The End
~*~*~*~
Okay, still too quick? I have a tendency to that...anyway, what do you think? Good enough for a sequel?
Wish me lots of sunscreen, peoples!
