Chapter Six: Defense Against The Dark Arts
Harry got to breakfast to find the others waiting for him. As he walked toward them he stole a glance at his new professor who was seated at the teachers table.
"Harry, it's about time you were up what took ya?" Ron said between bites of scrambled eggs and sausage.
"Sorry, I had some trouble finding my left shoe." Harry muttered, sleepily, as he sat down and helped himself to some porridge.
Just then Hundreds of Owls swooped down into the dining hall carrying the day's mail. One landed in front of Hermione, who put a gallion in the small purse it held, with a copy of The Daily Prophet. But before she had time to look over the headlines another owl landed on the table in front of the group. Hedwig offered the letter to Ron and then looked to Harry for a treat for such a good job and flew off.
Ron, opened the letter in a clumsy manner and immediately began to read out loud so the others could hear.
Dear Ron, It's good to hear from you and I hope you are all having a good year so far. I was surprised by your request but have enclosed the pictures you asked for. I also included some other photos I thought might interest you as they are related to the Millennium Items. If you don't mind my asking, why the interest? Is it for a class project or something? Well whatever you need them for I hope these help. Let me know will you?
Love,
Bill
They pulled out the pictures and sure enough there was a picture with both the puzzle and the scales along with the five others Estel had mentioned. The other pictures were of stone carvings. One of them had a person who looked exactly like their new professor facing off in some sort of battle with another frightening man. The next had a picture of a girl who looked like Estel dancing for a large audience. The rest of the pictures were covered in strange hieroglyphics that looked vaguely familiar, but they did not have time to place where they had seen those markings.
"Oh no, we have to go or were going to be late for Defense Against The Dark Arts and I want to get good seats." Hermione hollered. They all set off for class at a less than casual pace.
"So, what do you think?" Ginny asked as they turned a corner.
"Well, it certainly would fit with what that Estel woman told us about the Yami's and everything." Harry said trying not to drop his books or his dueling deck.
"It's creepy I've seen those markings somewhere before." Ron added sounding a bit frustrated.
"I know, it's driving me crazy, but I just can't place them!" Hermione agreed as they turned to enter the classroom unsure of what this class may hold in store. As they found seats together they continued to inspect the pictures Bill had sent.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yami stood in the shadows as his students filed in a few at a time. He watched silently as the four friends came in looking at what he thought might be photographs of something. //Dumbledore said that these four were very dedicated students. Not very dedicated are they?// he asked his hikari.
/Looks can be deceiving. Haven't we often found that those we least expect to control power have the most power?/ Yu Gi responded. Yami sighed in recognition of that comment. Then he strode form the shadows, startling many of the students. He didn't stop when he had reached the center of the room, but continued on to the far side where Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sat huddled, oblivious to what was happening in the rest of the classroom. They were rudely brought back to reality by a small hand slamming down on their workspace.
"I'm not sure," Professor Mouto whispered, "but I believe that class has started." Then he picked up the pictures and glanced at them. Then raising an eyebrow, he looked over towards one of the classrooms shadowy corners. The woman they had met the day before stepped from the shadow into the light and slowly guided to stand submissively behind the proud figure. The students all gasped, because for the first time they saw the two standing beside each other and neither seemed threatening. Every one was amazed at the small stature of the two commanding figures. "Next time, perhaps you had best leave these in your dormitories." The small professor said. Malfoy began to snicker at the reprimand Harry and his friends had received. Professor Mouto looked at him and lifted the pictures, holding them as he might a duel monsters card, and handed them to E.T. Malfoy became instantly quiet. "Please take care of these." He said to his female counterpart.
"Yes, my lord." She whispered Hermione gasped and grabbed for a book in her bag and started flipping pages. Before she reached the page she was looking for Professor Mouto plucked the book from her hands and handed that to Estel as well. Estel bowed to him and left the room in a swirl of purple mists.
"Did every one bring a deck of duel monsters cards?" he asked. The students raised their boxed decks in answer. "Good." He said. Then he proceeded to place three booster packs in front of each student. "The decks you bought are partial replicas of four very famous decks, mine, Seto Kaiba's, Joey Wheeler's, and Maxamillion Pegasus'. Those decks were specially designed with beginners in mind. However, I don't think it fair when opponents have the same deck, and neither deck is personal. If you open those three booster packs you will find nine cards in each. For the first class you will be trading and building new decks off of your basic decks. My advice to you would be to find cards that compliment your deck. I also caution you to remember the heart of the cards. If you don't choose cards that have meaning to you, your deck won't have meaning to you, and you will never reach your full potential with that deck. Trust me."
Just then E.T. returned in a swirl of purple mists. "My lord." She called.
"Pardon?" Yami asked in confusion.
"I called you. I wanted to know if you needed me for the rest of the class."
"What did you call me?"
"What?"
"What what?"
"Why would I call you What What?"
Yami shook his head in defeat. "Nevermind. Yes please stay, the students are trading cards. Would you like to stay and help them?"
"I would love to." E.T.'s Yami whispered with a secretive smile. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The four friends opened their booster packs and began to look over the cards they had gotten. Harry and Ron were eager to begin trading and building their decks.
"Hold on!" Hermione scolded them. "Before you start trading don't you think you should at least know the basic rules."
"Well.." Said Harry, slightly embarrassed at his own foolishness. "I suppose it would help."
"To start with, there are three basic kinds of cards Monster, Magic, and Trap. All of your cards should compliment and strengthen each other. The idea is that each card will strengthen the others weaknesses. And don't trade off all of your weaker monsters because in order to summon your stronger monsters, those with more than four stars, you must sacrifice your weaker monsters, or those with four or fewer stars. In fact you should have at least two weaker monsters for every stronger monster in your deck. Remember that you must have at least forty cards. But, having too many cards can be dangerous because it makes it harder to draw the cards you need. And don't over balance your deck with any one kind of card or you may doom yourself from the start. So build you deck carefully and wisely. Oh, and you need to be very familiar with all the cards in your deck if you wish to be successful. And Professor Mouto's advice about putting part of yourself into your deck is very important." Hermione explained with great care and enthusiasm.
"Thanks, Hermione." Ginny said sounding relieved. "I had no idea what I was supposed to do."
"Yeah, thanks a lot. I would have really messed up if it weren't for you." Harry said gratefully.
"Thanks a heap, Hermione. And now to build the best deck in Duel Monsters history." Ron said getting up to go find someone to trade with.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The two yamis looked on from the shadows with pride at the brunette's description of the game. Then Yami E.T. noticed one blonde boy trading all of his monsters with few attack points for monsters with greater attack points. Going over to him she stood behind him for several minutes. When he traded Koitsu to the brunette she felt she had to intervene. "Pardon," she said, "but I couldn't help but notice you are trading all of your weaker monsters."
"What's it to you?" he answered rudely.
"Well, you've given Harry every piece of Exodia, and you just gave Hermione a very powerful card. I thought you might want some advice before you make any more foolish mistakes."
"I don't think I need help from an ignorant mudblood like you." He sneered giving away a Princess Of Tsurugi to a plump boy named Neville. Then over her shoulder he met the eyes of Professor Mouto, who was idly twirling a card between three of his fingers. Quickly the rude boy became quiet, but he still refused to accept the advice of the more experienced duelists.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After trading and building up their decks the four returned to their seats and compared how they had faired. They valued greatly Hermione's opinion and were pleased that she approved. They all wished however to gain Professor Mouto's approval more than hers, but were slightly intimidated after the scene at the beginning of class. Just then class ended. As the students started to rush off to their next class Yami Yu Gi stopped the four friends.
"I would like to see you four in my office, now." Then he looked over to one of the shadowy walls. "Tahamenea, would you join us?" E.T. glided from the shadows in which she had been hidden. Slowly she followed them from the room and into the office. When she saw the interior she smiled to herself. The four friends were frightened by the resemblance to an ancient tomb, but she found the likeness to be very comforting.
"May I see your decks?" The small professor asked in a quietly commanding way. The four young wizards complied. Yami Yu Gi, and Yami E.T. examined the four decks with appreciative noises. Halfway through Harry's deck the professor stopped and motioned the small young woman at his side to look. When she saw what he was looking at she glanced at him and then at Harry and finally she smiled. "This is a powerful combination." he said looking at Harry with a gaze that seemed to pierce the soul. "It has been misused in my presence before. Make sure it doesn't happen again. If it does, I will destroy every card in this deck." With that he got up and started from the room. /Yami/ Yu Gi whispered from his soul room. /Wasn't that a little harsh. I mean, isn't there something you ought to say to them?/ Yami Yu Gi turned. "Oh yes, and you have detention. Tahamenea, would you take care of it?" Then he seemed to melt into the shadows on the other side of the door. E.T. smiled at the four startled students.
"Well?" she asked them.
"Would he really destroy Harry's cards?" Ginny asked.
"Yes," Yami E.T. said with a strange, but sad accent. "So many times he has been betrayed. Once someone has betrayed him, he never gives that person a chance to do so a second time." Suddenly E.T. seemed to take on a drastic change. "But, now it's time for you to go to class." She said in a cheerful voice.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They headed silently for Transfiguration and Ginny waved glumly as she headed for Potions. Upon arriving in potions she was promptly given another detention despite her attempts to explain that Professor Mouto had held her after. This only caused him to snicker. "Well, if you were detained you obviously did something wrong, so consider this another part of the punishment as it made you late to my class which makes it a double crime. I will also be taking 10 points from Gryffindor for your back talk."
Meanwhile, the others made their apologies to Professor McGonagall who warned them not to let it happen again. "It is not a good start to a new year."
