INPORTANT NOTICE: I've decided to use the Japanese names for Bakura and Marik. Bakura will be Ryou and Marik will be Malik. Sorry for the confusion but I am too lazy to put "Yami" after their names. Also one of my reviewers asked me if Seto is important in this story. Don't worry, my story isn't going to be focused on Seto Kaiba, but he will play an important role for the YGO characters to be able to duel in Hogwarts, though, there might be something else coming too... Sorry to slow you down. Now, on with this chappy.

Bakura: You only got about 9 reviews...

Dark-Magician-Gal: Yep 7 kind people took some of their precious time to review!

Ryou: She's got a point there...

Bakura: Shut up...

Chapter 3: Trouble on the Train

When they returned to the Leaky Cauldron two hours later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were pleasantly surprised to see Hagrid. They seemed to know him very well and were friends of his.

They dropped all of their shopping bags into vacant chairs and collapsed down into the chairs at Hagrid's table. For some odd reason Ryou had been delighted with the joke shop. This was puzzling because they had talked for quite some time while shopping for the rest of their supplies, and he seemed like the type of person who liked books, like Hermione. But when they had entered Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, Ryou and Malik had been fascinated with all of the things that had strange or nasty effects.

"Where're Seto and Mokuba?" Yugi asked. His yami had brought it up, and now that he thought about it, they hadn't seen either one of them since they split up quite a while ago.

"Came half an hour ago," Hagrid replied. "Said that he wanted to spend the rest of the month back in Japan, something to do with his company. You should have seen all the books that they bought. Nearly the whole bookshop!" He chuckled, and then looked at his pocket watch. "Blimey, look at the time! I'd better get going now. Dumbledore wants me to report on how everything's going. I guess I'll see you all at Hogwarts, so take care until then!"

He took his cans of flesh eating slug repellent and strode out of the building. The light was momentarily blocked by his huge form in the doorway, and then he was gone.

Five days had passed since Yugi, Ryou, Malik, Seto and Mokuba got their wands. Ryou bought an owl before they left diagon alley, and called her Vyra. Yugi decided to start practicing some spells and to his amazement, he was great! Seto started building a new device that would let Kaiba corp. technology work in Hogwarts and Mokuba tried his luck with a broom, though he fell off a few times. Harry, Ron, and Hermione told them all about their previous years at Hogwarts and their encounters with Lord Voldemort. They also filled them in on the magical world. Luckily, they didn't notice too much whenever a yami took over, which, surprisingly, wasn't that much at all. Finally, it came to the day when they had to go to Hogwarts. Though, Yugi and the others were having a little trouble getting onto the train...

"You're telling me to just run into the wall?" Yugi exclaimed incredulously staring at the perfectly looking solid wall between platforms 9 and 10.

"To keep the muggles out," said Mrs. Weasly kindly. "Remember just run straight into the wall."

//Are you sure Yugi?//

/Uh huh/

//Then let's go//

Yugi pushed his trolley and ran into the wall dividing platforms 9 and 10.

~

"I have a headache," Yugi moaned as he boarded the train. He made the mistake of running way too fast and closing his eyes. That resulted in passing through the barrier and bumping head-first into the wall.

"Here, use these," Seto handed him a box of headache pills. It said "MADE BY KAIBA CORPERATION" in bold letters on the side.

"But it's 10,000 mg!" Yugi exclaimed. Seto merely shrugged.

"I take a heavy dosage."

"Alright then." Yugi also shrugged and took a few pills.

"I can't wait till we get to duel again!" said Ryou as he sat on his seat.

"Yeah my big brother's dueling system is the greatest!" Mokuba said proudly.

"I'll bet you 10 galleons that your laptop will break down as soon as we enter Hogwarts," Harry told Seto marveling at the high-tech laptop computer Seto was typing furiously at.

'Fine," Seto replied. He didn't look worried at all. Maybe even amused. 'Sucker' Harry and Seto both thought.

A moment later, the compartment door slid open and there, stood Draco Malfoy, and his associates, Crabbe and Goyal.

"So, you people are the new mudblood exchange students from Japan," Draco smirked. "Father has told me all about you. Apparently, you," He pointed to Yugi, Ryou and Malik. "...possess great powers. I'd like to see them," He continued sarcastically. "By the way, I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

"I don't like your attitude Malfoy," Malik spoke coolly. "So how about you just back off and mind your own business."

"We'll get you later. Crabbe, Goyal, let's get out of here." Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyal then exited.

"Jerks!" Malik muttered to himself.

"Who were they?" Yugi asked Harry. Harry, who was about to pull out his wand and curse Malfoy, told them about the 4 houses and how bad the Slytherins were.

"You see, Gryffindors are the brave ones, Ravenclaws are usually smart, Hufflepuffs are fair and are easy to get along with, though they can be pushovers sometimes-"

"Ron!" Hermione shouted.

"-ok ok... and there's Slytherin which is the worst of all three," Ron finished.

The lady with the food cart came later. "Anything off the trolley, dears?" she asked. Harry and Mokuba went to get the food. They came back with armloads of Pumpkin Pasties, Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Cauldron Cakes, Licorice Wands, and a number of strange things that Yugi had never seen in his life.

Suddenly. Out of nowhere, 5 duel monsters appeared. The Dark Elf, The Dark Necrofear, The Earl of Demise, Neo the Magic Swordsman and The Man-Eater Bug. Ryou and Yugi gasped and instantly, their Yamis took over. Malik started chanted a protection spell holding his Millennium Rod behind his back.

"Kill the boy!" The Dark Necrofear commanded, pointing at Harry. The monsters prepared to strike. Hermione fainted, and Harry and Ron's mouths were hanging wide open. Yami was shocked, but Bakura was the one who took was most affected-his favorite monsters were attacking him.

"Dark Magician Girl!" Yami yelled. The Millennium Puzzle glowed and the Dark Magician Girl appeared. She blasted the Man-Eater Bug with her wand and it returned to the shadow realm.

"Come on, Tomb Robber. Help me!" Yami yelled frustrated. He didn't want to summon the Dark Magician for backup. That would mean putting Mahaado in danger; Mahaado had done enough for him already. He owed him a life.

/Bakura snap out of it! I know you hate these monsters turning their back on you, but you have to help or else we will all be dead!/ Ryou pleaded his yami.

//Fine then// Bakura sighed.

The Millennium Ring glowed a bright gold. Bakura muttered a few words and a huge Black Hole appeared sucking all the monsters in, then the hole disappeared.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"The Duel Monsters may have failed me, but the these won't!" A cold high voice said.

"I'll send in the Dementors right away, sir," said Wormtail , who was shaking uncontrollably.

"Yes, yes, the resistance on the train shall fall to these... Most of them seem to have a troubling past... Especially the one who cast the spell to destroy those monsters." Voldemort said to Wormtail. Then, he laughed evilly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry's scar sent excruciating pain all over his body.

"Those monsters were sent... by Voldemort..." Harry gasped in pain.

"Harry you okay?" Ron asked worried.

/Bakura, I will now open the mind-link, so Yugi, Marik, Malik and Yami will be able to communicate in our thoughts./

//Fine by me.//

~So, Ryou opened the mind link?~

~~You didn't have to destroy my Dark Magician Girl Tomb Robber~~

*At least we're safe-for now*

//Who invited you?//

"Uh... Yugi what's that?" Malik asked. Yugi spun around. There, standing in the doorway, was a black hooded creature, with a cold rattling breath. The compartment fell cold and the lights went out, and Ryou could here yelling and screaming. He was in a pool of swirling darkness, and there, he saw his mother and his beloved sister being swallowed by the darkness. He couldn't reach them. The screams were louder, and louder...

Bakura was back. Back in the village called Kura Eruna. There, he watched the villagers being killed one after another. His friends, his family. He wanted it to stop, but his legs were glued to the spot by his own fear. "NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ryou," Ryou heard voices around him and then felt somebody shaking him. "RYOU WAKE UP DAMMIT!" Reality Check: That voice was Malik. Ryou slowly opened his eyes. Sure enough, Malik was looking at him as if he was an alien or something. "You okay?" Malik looked concerned. Ryou was laying on the floor on the compartment. The lights were back on and it was warm again. Despite that, Ryou was still shivering.

"What happened?" Ryou stood up. He felt very weak.

"Well, those hooded freaks entered the room, and you fainted and started twitching, Mokuba started crying, and then Harry stood up and this horse- thingy appeared out of his wand, and it blasted those guys away," Malik explained. Before Ryou could reply, Hermione, who was now awake, stuffed a big chunk of chocolate into his mouth. Mokuba was in a corner with Seto looking teary-eyed.

"I'm so glad you're okay Ryou!" Yugi smiled happily, his mouth full of chocolate.

"It's ok Mokie, I promise you we will never see that orphanage again..." Said Seto trying to comfort his little brother.

"MOKIE???" Malik said in fits of laughter.

"I think it's cute!" said Hermione.

"But..." Ryou started. Harry smiled. He had a lot of explaining to do.

An hour had passed. Seto was again, typing furiously on his laptop. Mokuba was sugar high due to all that chocolate Harry gave him, Ryou felt a little better when Harry told him that he also fainted on his first encounter over dementors, though Bakura was still depressed. Yugi taught Ron and Hermione the rules of duel monsters, and gave them a demonstration by dueling Malik. Of course, he won. Night fell, and the students changed into their robes.

"THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS WILL BE IN HOGSMEAD STATION SHORTLY. PLEASE CHANGE INTO ROBES AND GET READY TO EXIT THE TRAIN." The announcer yelled into the mike.

The train made a stop in Hogsmead station and the students got off. Yugi, Ryou, Seto, Malik and Mokuba stared at the Hogwarts castle.

"Come on, let's go," The 5 went into a boat and sailed over to the Hogwarts castle and to the dangers that await them.
