Chapter Three: Not A First Year

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny filed into the Great Hall with the rest of the students with the exception of the first years. They found seats together and looked over the hall and then at the table where the Professors were all seated. Harry, Ron, and Ginny let out a collective gasp as they spotted the boy, whom they had thought was a first year, that they had been sitting with on the train, sitting next to Dumbledore. At this moment Professor McGonagall started the sorting ceremony.
"What is that kid from the train doing next to Dumblebore? He can't possibly be a professor!!" Harry blurted out in confusion.
Hermione, by now over the shock of what had happened on the train, stated in her usual condescending tone, "Actually, he can, he's 25 years old though he is short." (YGO: I'M NOT THAT SHORT!! ALL: SHADDUP!)
"You're kidding!" Shouted Ron looking dumbfounded. Ginny was starring open mouthed at the new professor.
"No I'm not, he's a world class duel monster champion. They call him the King of Games." Hermione spouted matter-of-factly.
Ginny began to giggle, "He is awfully cute. And his clothes are strange for a professor but totally cool."
"Well, I do agree that his clothes are the coolest. I wonder what he's teaching?" Ron said. Hermione looked like she was about to say something she felt should be obvious but was cut short as Dumbledore stood to address the students.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts. And a special welcome to all first years. We are looking forward to an amazing and wonderful year. This year we have a new History of Magic and Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher. It is my privilege to introduce Professor Yu Gi Mouto, from Japan." Dumbledore paused and Yu Gi stood and bowed Asian style to the assembly and then to the Headmaster. "He will be teaching both classes this year and we are honored to have him. A few reminders to students the Forbidden Forest is off limits, and there is to be no magic in the halls between classes. And now let the feast begin." As Dumbledore finished piles of food appeared on the tables and they all began to eat till they couldn't eat any more, which for Ron was saying a lot.
Through out the meal Harry shot curious glances at the new professor wondering what his appearance and strange talents could mean.
"Harry! Its rude to stare at people like that." Hermione chided.
"Oh! And the way you stare at him isn't?" Shot Ron slightly annoyed. Hermione had been staring dazedly at him through the whole meal, and now blushed a shade red that matched Ron's hair color.
"Leave her alone Ron." Ginny commanded her older brother.
"Like you have a lot of room to talk, you've been doing the same thing." Ron said hotly. They continued the meal in silence.
After they had eaten they headed back to the Gryffindor Tower. Ron and Hermione had to help the first years so Harry and Ginny walked back together. When they got back they all went to their respective rooms to unpack and prepare for their first day of classes.

Yami followed his hikari up to the Headmaster's office. When they entered Dumbledore was waiting for them. "You know why I brought you here, don't you?" He asked Yu Gi.
"We have an idea." He responded
"We?" Dumbledore asked with a raised eyebrow.
/Yami/ Yu Gi thought, /I don't think he can see you. Do you want to fix that./
//Not yet. I want to know if I can trust him first.//
/Of course we can trust him./
//Like you trust Bakura and Marik?//
/Why must you always be so difficult?/
"Professor Mouto, are you all right?" Dumbledore asked looking concerned.
"Yes, I was just thinking to myself. You were saying?"
"I was saying that Lord Voldemort has joined forces with two of your rivals."
//How does this concern us?// Yami asked.// I don't know why we should get involved. After all I've never even heard of this Lord Voldemort.//
Yu Gi looked over at him and asked Yami what he meant. Dumbledore's eyebrow went a little further up his forehead towards his hairline. "To whom are you talking Professor Mouto?"
"My Yami." What ever the Headmaster thought of this reply he kept it to himself. "You said that two of my rivals had joined forces with Lord Voldemort. Could you give me the details?"
"Lord Voldemort is the most evil, and the most feared wizard of all times. The only person who has any hope of killing him is currently a student here at Hogwarts."
//I reiterate, what does this have to do with us?//
"Yami! If you'll be quiet I'm sure he'll tell us!!!!!" Yu Gi screamed, interrupting the Headmaster, whose eyebrows had now reached his hairline. "Professor, are you quite sure you're all right." He said. "Yami, show him!" //I don't want him to know.// "Too late! Show him."

Dumbledor stood wondering if this young man were not slightly touched in the head. Suddenly he felt a hand on his arm but nothing was there, or was there. He could just barely make out a transparent hand and then an arm, and a body, then legs, another arm, and finally a head. If this was not strange enough the transparent man touching his arm looked almost exactly to the other young man in front of him. Of course the eyes were different and the stranger was taller. And the new comer had the appearance of a powerful and mysterious person while the other had the appearance of pure innocence. "What's this?" Dumbledore asked surprised. "Are you a ghost?" he asked perplexed, for he had never met a ghost who had retained color. "No, I'm not a ghost. I am Yu Gi's yami." "What's a yami?" "Yami means darkness." Yu Gi answered helpfully. "It's a very strange relationship, right aibou? Like, I'm Yami's hikari." Dumbledore just looked at them. "Yu Gi is a very special person. You see, he is the light to my darkness. I'm not evil, or any thing else, I have just seen far more than most. Yu Gi is pure innocence." "Yes, but who are you." "Yami was once a great Egyptian pharaoh. He saved the world once." "How?" Dumbledore asked intrigued. "Actually we're not sure. See he doesn't remember anything." "That's really something to forget. You said you're not a ghost, so what are you?" "I'm the spirit of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. I was trapped in the millennium puzzle until Yu Gi was able to solve it." "Millennium Puzzle?" "One of the seven Millennium Items. Whoever holds all seven Items has unspeakable power. Power to rule the world." "That must have been what they were talking about!" Dumbledore exclaimed. "What who was talking about?" Yami demanded "I was about to tell you. Lord Voldemort has joined forces with two young men, Marik and Bakura. If they help him kill Harry, he will help them get something called the Millennium Items, and the other one gets something called the Spirit of the King." "Professor," Yu Gi added thoughtfully. "I think you mean Spirit of the Pharaoh." Then he realized what he had said. Yu Gi and yami shared a guarded look. "Professor," Yami asked, "If you would excuse us." Then Yami suddenly disappeared. Without further explanation Yu Gi ran from the room, leaving Dumbledore to ponder over the strange encounter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ME: Sorry if this one seemed a little long, but it is cool, no. We all need to thank my supercool friend Jollie_Rancher for helping to write all the wizard characters.

JR: Oh really, you flatter me. What about you, that was awesome.

MV: You disgust me with all these sappy compliments

ME: Oh Hush. You're just jealous. Well folks, that was Chappie Three. Remember to Review. Now, I'm going to go get something to eat.
