Chapter 2
Harry glanced out the open window of his room from his spot on the bed just in time to see a vacuum cleaner crash through one of the upstairs windows of the house next door. It landed with a sickening crack on the front lawn, trashing a brightly colored patch of blue and yellow flowers. This was followed by someone yelling and a small explosion which sent a puff of smoke through the broken glass and out into the morning air.
Harry shook his head, looking back down at the report he was supposed to be writing for school. He could never really understand their new neighbors. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia had dragged him over to welcome them when they had first moved in, and Harry had gotten a chance to meet the three. Yugi, Ryou and Malik had been really strange even to Harry who, being a wizard-in-training, had seen more than enough weird happenings. But there was just something-different-about the three and making enough noise for six was just part of it.
Harry smiled as Headwig his snowy owl glided into the room with a dead mouse hanging from her claws. Still, he supposed he had little right to say someone else was strange. Normal people didn't keep an owl that brought them messages or go to a school out in the middle of nowhere to learn magic with all number of other wizards and witches. Their neighbors were lucky to have a more or less normal life. It was definitely safer than all the things he had done with his friends Ron and Hermione.
Or so he thought . . .
*~*~*~*~**~*~*~Nextdoor
"Stupid Tomb Robber! Look what you've done now!"
"Me?! I wasn't the one who shattered the blasted window because I mistook a dumb piece of machinery for a monster, featherbrain!"
"That didn't cause half as much damage as you blowing up the computer!"
Ryou sighed with exasperation, plopping down on the sofa to watch the two yamis bicker (Malik and Yami were upstairs doing their best to clean up the mess). The two most mischievous darker halves had apparently been 'plotting' something when one or the other had accidentally turned on the vacuum. Ishtar, mistaking the cleaning device for some strange and possibly harmful creature, had gladly 'gotten rid of it'. What Bakura had done to the computer was a complete mystery, but then he always had had a knack for breaking whatever he laid hands on. A welcome distraction came when Yugi walked through the kitchen door with the letter they had received earlier, his violet eyes mixed with excitement and worry.
"What's the matter, Yugi?" Ryou asked.
Yugi handed the letter wordlessly to the other. Ishtar and Bakura paused for a moment in their argument to see what was going on.
The white-haired boy read the letter silently and frowned. "A school for witchcraft and wizardry? I didn't know there were other magic users around these days."
"Of course there are," Bakura snorted, eyeing the paper scornfully. "They jus aren't as powerful."
"Who isn't as powerful?" Yami inquired.
"Modern day wizards," Yugi answered, passing the letter to his yami. "Can we go?"
"Well," Yami said uncertainly. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt . . ."
"Don't you think it all seems a bit suspicious?" Bakura interrupted. "What if it's a trap so they can get their filthy hands on our Millenium Items?"
"Scared?" Ishtar sneered.
"Of course not!"
"If they try anything stupid, I'll destroy them." Ishtar smirked.
The hikaris exchanged concerned looks. "Maybe this isn't such a good idea . . ."
*****Some Time Later
"It's settled then," Yugi announced. "We're going."
"So, do you think we should tell them about our yamis?" Ryou asked, eyeing Bakura warily.
The others knew exactly what he meant. The three yamis seemed to attract trouble like a magnet. And, more often than not, they were the cause of it-especially Yami Bakura. Ryou supposed it had something to do with him having been a Tomb Robber back in Ancient Egypt.
"No," Malik replied thoughtfully. "I think it'll be best if we keep them a secret unless absolutely necessary." He turned a stern glare on their darkers. "You three promise to behave?"
The yamis grinned mischievously but only nodded in reply.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay, so tell me again. What did the old man say we're supposed to do to get onto the stupid platform?" Bakura asked grouchily.
Ryou glanced down at the letter. "It says to walk through the dividing barrier between platforms nine and ten."
Bakura snorted. "Crazy mortals."
"For once, I might have to agree with the Tomb Robber," Yami stated.
Yugi looked nervously at the barrier. "Are you sure about this?"
All six of them stared very hard at the barrier. It looked very solid.
"Well, it's now or never," Malik said. "The train's supposed to leave in less than ten minutes."
There was a flash of light and all three yamis disappeared into their respective items. None of their hikaris wanted them to take the chance that they might be seen.
"All right," Ryou gulped. "Yugi, do you want to go first?"
"Uh, no thanks. What about you, Malik?"
Malik rolled his eyes and started for the barrier, pushing his trunk ahead of him. As he reached it, he vanished. Yugi and Ryou looked at each other.
"Guess it's our turn."
Still filled with doubt, the two started for the barrier. As they reached it they closed their eyes-and when they opened them, they were standing on a crowded platform before a scarlet steam engine with Hogwart's Express painted on its side.
Malik waved to them from an open door. "Over here! It's almost time to go!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AN: I decided to skip Diagon Alley. I'm probably just going to pretend they've already gone to get their things/materials. I really want to get going till they actually get to Hogwarts.
Any suggestions on what house to put them in first? I want to place them in different houses for the beginning than switch them into the same house later on.
Please R&R!
