Chapter 5: Bakura's sucky spell which somehow worked

"What are you doing, Potter?" Came Snape's cold voice as he appeared behind him.

"I'm just walking," Harry said automatically.

"Then why is your ear against the Headmaster's door Potter?" Snape replied with a sneer. Harry knew he couldn't win, so he decided to get back to the feast,-until Snape was gone...

"Millennium ring, in this hour, Give me now the shadow power."

Bakura chanted as the ring glowed. Bakura turned to Dumbledore and continued.

"Water, Air, Earth and Fire,

Grant me now my heart's desire." Bakura chanted. "Read this spell," said Bakura as he scribbled a sentence on to a piece of parchment and handed it to Dumbledore. Dumbledore started reciting as McGonagall gave him a what- the-hell-do-you-think-you-are-doing look.

"Ancient magic I beseech,

Place this knowledge within my reach. 'It must be their secret!' Thought Dumbledore. If I am ever going to tell, My life shall be a living hell." Dumbledore read.

"I seal the truth with this spell, Here is our secret, keep it well." Bakura finished the incantation.

~~You call that a spell???~~

The Spellbinding Circle appeared around Dumbledore and then vanished into his shadow.

//Well, at least it works, Pharaoh//

"What just happened?" Asked Professor McGonagall.

"Just making sure you won't tell anybody," Bakura replied menacingly.

"Now, I'll begin," Yugi held out his Millennium Puzzle out so everybody could see. "5000 years ago, there existed a dark power so powerful, that it almost destroyed the world. The seven Millennium items were created in hope to stop it. Me, Ryou and Malik possess one of the seven items." Yugi continued. "Actually, me and Ryou possess two. Now, my Puzzle and Ryou's ring both have ancient spirits which reside in them, therefore, we kind of share bodies-"

"Which really sucks!" Bakura interrupted. Dumbledore turned to him. Ryou took control again, and Dumbledore and McGonagall immediately realized what Yugi meant by 'sharing bodies'.

"Allow me to introduce my Yami, Bakura,"

"And the spirit of the Puzzle, the Pharaoh, Atem," said Yugi as Yami took over and looked over at Malik.

"So, erm... Pharaoh and uh..." McGonagall started.

"Tomb robber" said Yami.

"Uh... yes can you demonstrate the powers you possess?"

"Gladly" They all said.

"I'll go first," said Malik holding out the rod. Yugi and Ryou groaned in their soul rooms. But the rod glowed and Malik took control of McGonagall's mind.

"As you can see," Malik spoke from McGonagall's mouth. "I have successfully mind-controlled the one you call Minerva McGonagall. She is completely under my control. I can make her do, say and even think what ever I want. Watch this. Now, my mind slave-" Suddenly, Professor McGonagall was cart wheeling around the room. The rod glowed again, and McGonagall was back to normal. Dumbledore just nodded looking shocked.

"My rod can also be transformed into a dagger!" Malik said proudly as he turned the spike at the bottom of the rod to reveal a sharp dagger. Bakura looked at it enviously, then turned back to Dumbledore. It was time to demonstrate his power.

"With the shadow powers of my ring, I can summon monsters and perform spells whenever I like," Bakura's ring glowed a bright gold. Bakura took out his deck and looked through it. 'What is he doing?' Thought Dumbledore.

"Ah! The Man Eater Bug!" Bakura shouted. A 6 foot tall Man Eater Bug appeared in the office. McGonagall shirked, but Dumbledore somehow, remained calm. The Man Eater Bug let out a roar, and McGonagall made Bakura call it back. Bakura found her fear of his bug amusing, and waited a few seconds before calling it back. "My ring can also rip people's souls out and trap them in inanimate objects, as in that weird blue ocean thingy on your desk."

"My turn!" Yami stepped up, and the eye of horus appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, the room was no more, and they were floating in a swirling ocean of darkness.

"Welcome to the shadow realm" said Malik.

"This place..." Murmured Dumbledore.

"It feeds on your soul, and soon devours it," said Bakura, who was actually enjoying it. Dumbledore nodded.

"A bit like dementors, this place, eh?"

/Dementors are worse, Malik/

//No, the shadow realm is//

*I, for one have to agree*

//Ha!//

~~Well we all know Bakura sucks at making spells...~~ Teased Yami.

//Well, at least it rhymes, Pharaoh!//

"And back!" The darkness of the shadow realm faded, and Dumbledore's office appeared. McGonagall was on the verge of fainting, but Dumbledore was concerned about something else.

"What do these items do if they are all put together?" asked Dumbledore wearily.

"It gives you the power to rule the world," Bakura replied simply as if it wasn't a big deal at all. McGonagall gasped and whispered something to Dumbledore. He nodded and spoke.

"I sensed a great evil like none other before when you were all attacked on the train. The dark lord Voldemort is after the items, and will do anything to get them,"

Malik laughed remembering all of the efforts he and Bakura made to try to take over the world.

"He thinks he can get the Millennium Items??? HA HA HA!!!" Malik laughed insanely as Yugi and Ryou sweat-dropped in their soul rooms.

//CRAP! I hate rivals!!!// was Bakura's immediate reaction. Ryou just sighed.

"I do not wish to know more until the time is right, but I must warn you that you must keep those items safe, no matter what. You are excused."

//Great... just great. What does "until the time is right" mean? Why can we just tell Dumby-dore and get it over with?// Ryou ignored him, and walked out with Yugi and Malik. Yugi stopped.

"Wait, there is something I want to ask you..."

Harry walked just in time to see Dumbledore dismissing the three.

"Yes, Harry?"

"What were you talking about?" asked Harry.

"Oh! Mr. Moto just asked me if he and his friends could use the Great Hall to play Duel Monsters. You have heard of it?" Dumbledore replied cheerily.

"That's it?" Harry asked suspiciously. Dumbledore nodded and walked past him not saying a word. Harry gasped. He'd sworn that he saw a dark outline of something in Dumbledore's shadow. Then he looked at McGonagall. She was slumped in a chair breathing hard. Harry ran as fast as he could up to his dormitory. There was something wrong, he could smell it.

"So you are saying, that the new students are working for Voldemort? Rubbish!" said Ron as Harry told him about what he saw.

"There's something different about Dumbledore!" Harry insisted.

"Yes Harry... It may be..." Fred said in a Trelawney-like voice.

"A PLAN TO CORRUPT OUR DEAR HEADMASTER!!!!!!!" George butted in over- dramatically. "SOON DUMBY-DORE WILL HAVE WHITE SPIKY HAIR, WEAR EARRINGS, HAVE A SILVER TREANCHCOAT AND *GASP* HAVE A LEATHER BELTS EVERYWHERE!!! OH THE HORROR!!!"

The whole common room burst out laughing not knowing who entered.

"Tag team duel tomorrow! Me and Seto verses Ryou and Malik!" Yugi yelled happily as he jumped onto his bed. The fan girls gasped at Seto's name, and decided at once, that they would watch. Some thought it was a magic duel, but decided to come anyway and some didn't know a thing about what Yugi was talking about.

"Hey Yugi," Mokuba walked up to him.

"Yes, Mokuba,"

"Seto made this now technology so electronics can work in Hogwarts. We are going to it out on the duel discs tomorrow, so be at the Great Hall ready to duel!" Mokuba smiled. "Oh, and please be there on time. Seto is in a bad mood today..." He added.

Yugi walked up to Seto, who was typing furiously on his laptop. He could see why he was so annoyed. Countless images of Funny-Bunny was dancing around on his e-mail going 'HEY KAIBA, HEY KAIBA, HEY KAIBA' over and over again in Pegasus's voice. Looking at the e-mail, Yugi noticed it was from Joey.

"Hey Kaiba, can I borrow your laptop for a sec?" Asked Yugi.

"Sure- if you tell that mutt to stop sending me these ridiculous e-mails," said Seto pushing the laptop to Yugi.

"Alright then," said Yugi as he started typing:

To: BlackDragon@duelistsnetwork.net, HarpieLady'sSister@duelmonsters.com, FairyGoddess@yahwee.com, PessimisticCyberMan@aol.org, dice_dude@dungeondicemonsters.com .

From: KingOfGames@duelmonsters.com

Hey guys how r u doing? Just 2 let u no I'm fine. See ya.

Oh yea... Kaiba wants me 2 tell Joey 2 stop sending those "HEY KAIBA" Things.

Yugi

P.S. Ryou's e-mail is Change_Of_Heart@duelmonsters.co.uk, Mokuba's is Suga_high_Mokie@Kaibacorp.com.jp and Seto's e-mail is Blue_Eyed_Tormentor@Kaibacorp.com.jp

"Alright, I'm done," Yugi clicked the send button, and waited for it to load.

"HOW DOES IT WORK HERE???" Harry asked amazed as he approached Seto.

"Newest Kaiba Cooperation technology," Seto said coolly. "I believe you owe me 10 galleons..." He added with a smirk.

Yugi took another one of Seto's headache pills since the dementor attack earlier that day made his head feel worse. After 10 minutes, Yugi couldn't feel his head. Yugi sighed and went into bed. He had a feeling that the next day would be a long one.

Ryou tucked himself in, and sighed to himself. It had been a long and exciting day, though his heart was still heavy due to the dementor attack. He knew that Bakura was still a bit down too. He could sense his feelings.

/Are you ok?/

//I'm Fine!!!// Bakura replied harshly.

/You sure?/

//Yes!!!!!//

/I know you have a problem, Yami. I just want to help!/

//It does not concern you hikari// Ryou sighed and replied:

/You weren't the only one who lost a sister./ And with those words, he closed the mind link and fell into a deep sleep.

Malik glared at Malfoy. Malfoy glared back. This went on for awhile, and then they started arguing.

"I can't believe I was put with you Slytherin idiots!" Malik yelled across the room where Malfoy was standing.

"Well, I can't believe that a Mudblood like you was put into our house!" Malfoy yelled back.

"My family has been practicing ancient magic for millenniums-"

"-and you can't even use a wand! You are so pathetic,"

*~Malik's POV~*

PATHETIC??? He is calling ME Pathetic??? He doesn't know who he is messing with. THIS MEANS WAR!
