Disclaimer: Do you really think I own any of this? If I did, would I be writing a fic?
Note: Sorry for taking so long in updating. I was too busy working on my other fics. I came up with a great ending for "The New Game King", so I was busy typing that. Alright, so, without further ado, read the fic. REVIEW TOO!!!!!
Second Note: I might put some things in the fic that seem like yaoi only it's not since I can't write romance for my life and writing anything romantic would kill the story. If you like yaoi, feel free to interpret this as you wish ^_^!!

"So, Yami, where should we go first?" Yuugi asked, tilting his head ever so slightly. Sugoroku had left only seconds ago, claiming to have to meet his friend somewhere. Currently, Yuugi was holding a map with numerous places circled with a bright red marker. They were going to be here for only three days and Yuugi wanted to make the most of it.
"Why don't we start with a park? A little walk after breakfast would be a good idea."
"Sure," Yuugi chirped happily. "But which park should we go to?"
"How about the one you circled, Aibou?"
"Err….Yami? I circled all of them…."
Yami sweatdropped at that statement and went over to look at the map. After a few minutes, both were ready to visit Regent's park. Yuugi especially wanted to go sailing, he hadn't been on a boat before and the ship to Duelist Kingdom certainly didn't count. That was the only trip that hadn't been enjoyable.
'Wow!' Yuugi gasped. He was currently standing in front of the majestic Buckingham Palace. It was almost dusk but it had been a long day, considering Yuugi had woken up at five thirty, a record breaker for him. After a quick stroll through the park and a boat ride, Yuugi had chosen to go to a museum. They had found the huge Egyptian exhibit the most interesting, especially Yami. He had materialized here and there, invisible to all but Yuugi. He some times came out to take a closer look at things, occasionally explaining some things to Yuugi. Visiting the museum had never been that fun before. Yuugi felt very privileged indeed. After all, how many people got tours from a once pharaoh? He was certain that even the ancient Egyptians had never gotten the privilege he was getting.
The suggestion to go to Buckingham Palace had been Yami's. He was curious about what modern kings looked like. At first he wasn't sure if they would be allowed in the palace but Yuugi soon convinced him although he was still prepared to protect his aibou in case the king wanted to behead him. You never can be too sure about foreign kings.
The setting sun cast warm shades of rose and gold on the marble white palace, enhancing its grandeur. The tall pines and weeping willows cast darker shadows, giving the palace a mysterious look. Yuugi slowly walked toward the castle drinking in every detail. Little did he know that he would soon see a far grander castle.
'Yami, isn't this beautiful?'
'Hmmmnn…it has some beauty to it but my great palace was far more elegant with the great Nile flowing by its side. This is nothing compared to it.' Yami stated haughtily.
'Well, I think it's beautiful.' Yuugi thought back. This was indeed the grandest place Yuugi had ever seen in his short lifetime.
'Even the simplest things amaze you, Aibou,' Yami chuckled.
'Hmph!!' Yuugi huffed in mock anger. This, of course, caused Yami to chuckle all the harder. Yuugi shook his head in exasperation, although he had to hide the smile that was tugging at his lips. 'Yami…!' Yuugi pouted. 'That's not funny!'
'Sorry, Aibou.' With that, they finally continued up the stairs.
"Yes!!" Harry exclaimed to no one in particular. Hedwig, his pet owl, just looked at him quizzically. Obviously, she was thinking somewhere along the lines of 'Master has finally cracked'.
"Hedwig, look at this!" Harry cried out, holding a piece of parchment. Hedwig moved toward it, interested. "This is from Ron. He said that we can come over to the Burrow for the rest of the summer," Harry explained. "Now to get Uncle Vernon to let me go…."
Harry tried to finish his homework as quickly as possible. He had three days left until school after all and Harry was certain he wouldn't be able to do his homework with Ron and Hermione there. Harry grinned as he imagined what Hermione reaction if she learned that he wasn't finished with his homework yet. She had probably finished her homework a week after school ended.
"Boy, come down here if ya want any food!" Aunt Petunia yelled from downstairs. Harry groaned. He didn't didn't really want to eat healthy food. The so called healthy food seldom looked edible. He preferred to eat from his secret food stash which was, in any sane person's opinion, tons better than anything Aunt Petunia could have made. Dudley would've literally drooled with jealousy if he had seen all the cakes and pies Harry had. He allowed himself a slight smirk. For once, he had it better than his cousin.
Yuugi and Yami walked up the corridor to their suite. Yuugi was very tired and kept falling nodding off every now and then. They finally made it up the long corridor to the fourth from the last door. Yuugi put in the key and turned the knob. The knob turned, but unfortunately, the door didn't open. Puzzled, Yuugi tried again, putting all his strength into it. However, try as he might, the door didn't budge.
"Here, let me try, Aibou. I think you're too tired to open the door." Yuugi stepped aside and let Yami try to push the door open. After a long while, he managed to open it. He opened the door, only to have a rain of envelopes cover both him and his aibou.
"Yami? What is all this?" Yuugi asked as soon as they had climbed out of the small mountain.
"I don't know, Aibou." Yami looked into their suite only to see piles and piles of envelopes scattered about the room, covering everything except the ceiling. The mountains of envelopes were well above their heads. Yami narrowed his eyes when he realized that the letters all looked like the one they had gotten this morning. Yami snatched up an envelope and read the contents, then picked up another, and another. His eyes grew wide when he realized that this wasn't a prank but reality.
Yuugi stood quietly watching his Yami. He had been sleeping a while ago but now he was wide awake. Uncertainly, he picked up an envelope and read. His eyes grew wide with amazement as he read. "Yami, does this mean what I think it means?"
"I…I don't know, Aibou…."
"I am a wizard?! Wow! I get to learn magic just like you!!"
"Aibou, magic can be a dangerous thing if not used properly."
"Don't worry, Yami! That's what I'm going to a school for!"
"Aibou, the decision is yours to make, I won't stop you if you decide to go," Yami sighed. "However, I don't think it is a wise idea…."
"You worry too much, Yami. Now to find a bird that'll take an answer to them…" said Yuugi, scribbling an answer on a piece of paper. As soon as he finished, an owl arrived, holding out its leg. Yuugi tied the letter to the bird's leg after some instruction from Yami who had seen many a feathered mail carrier during his lifetime. Finally Yuugi settled down to sleep, after many hours of wondering about his new school.
"Goodnight, Yami."
"Goodnight, Aibou." Yami pulled the covers over his other self and turned to turn off the lights when Yuugi jolted up from his bed.
"Yami! I just remembered that I forgot to ask 'Jiichan if I could go! What if he says no?"
"Don't worry, Aibou. I'll tell Ojiisan that I'll protect you. I'm sure he'll let you go."
"Thanks Yami, you're the best!"
"You're welcome, Aibou. Now get to sleep, you need your rest!" No sooner had Yami said the words had Yuugi closed his eyes in deep slumber. Yami fondly shook his head before bending down to kiss Yuugi on the forehead. "Goodnight, Aibou. Sweet dreams." With that, Yami disappeared in a soft flash of gold back to his soul room. If Yuugi was this hyper during a walk through a park, who knew how hyper he would be in a magical shop? Yami correctly guessed that he would need his energy tomorrow.
Note: What do you think? I know I'm going a bit slow. I'm still thinking about the stuff I wanna put into this. I really wanna put Bakura in this fic 'cause he'd be able to go to Slytherin and Ryou Hufflepuff. Unfortunately, the only place for Yuugi/Yami is Gryffindor. It really is a shame he has to be in the same house as Harry. I hate the fact that this is going to be predictable at least up to the sorting. I assure you that this won't be so predictable after the sorting. I'm trying to not turn this dark, angsty, or kill anyone so I'll try to keep it light-hearted, to keep it light-hearted, unless of course you prefer it to be dark. Unless of course you prefer it to be dark. Alright, so what did you think? I need to know or else I think people aren't reading it and discontinue it. Please review!!
