"Maybe its just the sun" Hermione said to Harry as them and Ron watched Bakura and Sagira exit the Leaky Cauldron.
"The sun plays tricks but can it make a sixteen year old girl grow two feet in five minutes?" Harry asked.
"Well, maybe we just didnt notice her being this tall before, maybe its the heat" Hermione said.
"The same thing happened with the Yugi kid, he grew a foot taller when he came out of the attic, does that normally happen with muggleborns?" Ron asked.
"And Tiny's eyes, they turn a silvery color, and her hair droops a bit." Harry said.
"Maybe she ran out of hair gel," Hermione said.
"It's like her hair grows longer too, as if she were getting older in minutes."
"Well, if we have all of these questions then lets go ask her,"
"And who was that guy she was with?" Ron asked. "Never seen him around"
"Just checked in this morning, Ryou Bakura, 'long with Malik Ishtar and Amoush Simmons" Tom said passing by their table.
"Ryou Bakura, Ryou Bakura, I've heard that name before" Hermione said.
"Of course, Ryou is the first name of an egyptian tomb raider during the rule of the nameless pharaoh," Harry said. Hermione looked at him in surprise. "What? I get bored locked in my room with Dudleys old textbooks, I now know calculus, trig, algebra and how to conjugate verbs in french."
"Very good, I knew my constant studying would rub off on you two sometimes!" Hermione said happily.
"Rub off on Harry at least, I havent studied a thing during the summer I am happy to say!" Ron said proudly. Hermione glared at him.
"Dont you have homework?" Hermione asked.
"Oi Merlin I do!" Ron ran upstairs and ran back down with his History of Magic book in his hand and began reading and scribbling things down.
"And another thing strange about all this, word on the streets is that some people, mainly Malfoy and his goonies, got a bit, pranked," Harry said.
"I heard, it wasnt just a bit pranked" Ron said. "It was super pranked! They got permanent marker all over their faces, mustaches, beards, the whole nine yards! Its great isnt it?!" he asked excitedly.
"Great, fantastic" Hermione said dully.
"S'rong with you today? Didnt get your daily serving of homework?" Ron asked.
"No, finished that the first week of vacation, its just that..." Harry and Ron looked at each other, then at Hermione.
"Well?" they both asked.
"Well, it seems it is going to be another strange year at Hogwarts doesnt it? I mean, with these new students and deatheaters in Egypt, Japan and America-"
"Wait!" Harry said suddenly. "Egypt, Japan AND America? Why would they want to be in America, its all beach blondes and buff guys there" he said.
"You didnt let me finish, Egypt, Japan, America, Germany, and Nigeria. Havent you read the paper? Everybody knows about it, supposedly there have been sightings of deatheaters on different parts of the world, America and Japan particularly, three security guards were found dead at a museum in Egypt, five girls had the Crusafix curse cast on them in America and almost twenty aurors are in Egypt, supposedly the dark mark was found in each of the places." Hermione finished.
"Do you know exactly where the dark mark appeared?" Harry asked.
"Well, somewhere on the west side of Baton Rouge it was spotted last March, the two of the girls were found on crusafixes in an alley, scars" she pointed to her hands. "Where on their hands, they were reported to be street children, no magic was used to clear their memory because no one would believe them anyways, it was right around Mardi Gras when they were found. I dont remember exactly where in Japan the dark mark was found, it was faintly seen during a tournament of some kind, last year, then just in June someone demolished the tomb of Ramses the Great, seems their going through every tomb they can find, a few hebrew graves were dug up, the first names were something like Yesma, Reche, and an empty one with no name, the no named one died just six years after they were born." Hermione said.
"A child, the death eaters are probably looking for the un named one," Ron said in a whisper.
"Then in Germany three deatheaters were seen killing a woman, Wara, or something, I dont know." Hermione said. "And in Nigeria they overtook two circuses, apparently in puursuit of a young woman."
"Loha guys" Sagira said sitting down next to Harry. She looked towards Hermione. "Who are you?" she asked.
"Hermione, I'm Harry and Ron's friend" she said.
Bakura cleared his throat behind her. "Oh yeah." she said. "Do you guys have any money, we're all out."
"Have you gotten any books yet even?" Hermione asked. Sagira threw a questioning look at Bakura who shrugged.
"We dont know." she said.
"You speak for him?" Ron asked. She looked at Bakura again, he nodded.
"Yeah." she said. "So do you have any money?"
"What have you been spending all this money on?" Harry asked.
"I wasnt talking about wizard money, I was talking about, normal money you know?" she said.
"Muggle money?" Ron asked.
"Muggle? What the hell's a muggle?" she asked.
"Person with no magic." Harry said.
"Hey Tiny, you're from Louisiana right?" Ron asked. Sagira nodded. "Do you know anything about the girls who were found on crusafixes?" he asked.
"Yeah! Tiny- I mean, I know them, what about them?" she asked.
"Well Hermione saw about them in the papers, what happened?" Harry asked. Sagira turned towards Bakura, who shook his head.
"The details are confidential." she said. "But I know who they are."
"And in Germany?" Harry asked.
"Well, I have a contact in Germany but I havent heard from her in a few days." Sagira answered.
"Wara or something?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, Nara."
"She was killed," Hermione said. Sagira's jaw dropped open.
"Mutankagara's on the loose?" she yelled. "I have to go." she said quietly. She dragged Bakura over to the other side of the room and sat down at a table.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Mutankagara, do you remember her?" she asked.
"Um, kind of, not really. Refresh my memory." he said.
"Mutankagara, she's from the delta, kinda slutty, spent the night in your room when I was out mugging people?" she said.
"Oh..." Bakura said with a smirk on his face. "I remember her, she was an experimenter that one." he said. Sagira shuddered.
"No more info, well her light side was just killed, Nara. Mutankagara's power is of the astro projection, real projection. Basically she can form her own body from Nara's blood, but she wouldnt do that. She admires Nara too much, I think its somebody else who killed her. They keep talking about deatheaters here, maybe it was them."
"What are deatheaters?" he asked.
"Hell if I know, but they must be kinda bad."
"Not worse than you, you killed your own sister." Bakura said chuckling.
"She bugged me," she said. "Anyways, when are you finally going to attempt to teach me how to reach my full form?" she asked.
"Right now if you want." he said.
"Can't, Tiny's waking up. She'll probably want to know why she's being chased by thugs in black." Sagira said stretching. "I wont tell her." the dagger glowed as Sagira returned but she didnt grow shorter when Tiny came.
[I can't change my form in the middle of a crowded bar!] Sagira yelled in the back of Tiny's head when questioned.
[Well I dont know how the hell to change back!] Tiny said.
[Tough] Sagira locked herself away.
"That flaca son of a-"
"Whoa, whoa" Bakura covered her mouth as she continued to swear about Sagira. (A/n: I'll let your imagination fill the gaps...) He finally let go of her mouth when she seemed to fall asleep. Sagira came back up.
"I heard that." she said.
"Why does Tiny keep on falling asleep like that?" he asked.
"She didnt fall asleep, she blacked out, I fell down two or three years back, down three stair cases and into a statue. Very painful experience. It didnt hurt me but she's been blacking out like once or twice a month since then," she said. "This is the first time this month, I think it may start to become a problem."
"Why?" Bakura asked.
"Well, Tiny's a street child, she's hasnt been to school since the fourth grade when she had to take care of Hamai, less she go to the nuns. And it was when she was like thirteen that she hit her head and it had never been a problem for the black outs, if I was asleep or something then Hamai knew what to do with her, she would watch out for authoroties, or big creepy guys with long black beards, or koukous. But now that Tiny's going to be in school its going to be different, if she blacks out in the middle of a fight, in the middle of class, they're gonna think somethings wrong with her." she said.
"Koukous?" Bakura asked.
"Owls, in french." Sagira said. "I'm hungry." she said. "Bet we can get some fortune off of these little coins," she held the bag of galleons in her palm as if to weigh it. "What'd'you reckon?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"$20.00 a piece," he said.
"And we have to spend responsibly..." she said mockingly. "Just kidding, where's the nearest mall, I want to get the newest Samurai Deeper Kyo."
"You think like a sixteen year old tomboy." Bakura said.
"Technically I am, give or take a few thousand, years." she said. "Hey where's Yugi, havent seen him in a while." she said.
"Lurking somewhere around here,"
"Yugi lurks? I dont think he knows how to lurk, perhaps slink or, no not slink, not lurk."
"Then what is he doing?" Bakura asked.
"Hell, I dont know, I can't sense him in this crowd, its worse then Mardi Gras here," she said.
"Lot of help your powers are," Bakura said.
"What about you? You should be able to sense Millenium Items" Sagira said.
"I dont want to right now," Bakura said. "Hey didn't they say something about five kids in Louisiana?" Sagira looked away. "Who were they?"
"Sarmadee Lee Thomas, Michelle Marie Perez, Chin Bo Revire, LaMelie DuMontar, and Jamaika Jones." she said.
"Jamaika? In spanish isn't that H-"
"Hamaika Jones, Hamai was only 6 last summer." Sagira said.
"She was one of the Crusafix girls?"
"That day, Tiny was over getting free beads and Hamai decided that she needed to go to the bathroom so she left to get to the nearest store and they found her because she was practically the same DNA as Tiny. Their both short, they spike their hair, and are dark with brown eyes. Sarma was tall with ear length hair, pale skin and chocolate brown eyes, Michelle was short, long brown hair and brown eyes, Chin Bo was tall, brown eyes and red hair, Melli was a dirty blond, brown eyes, and short. " Sagira said as if she were trying hard to remember.
"So what do we do now?" Bakura asked.
"Hey, you have Duel Monster cards?" Sagira asked.
"And a Duel Disk, you?"
"No 'lectricity." Sagira said looking at her shoes.
"What about just the hand version?" he asked. "Plus, I want to see the cards you have." Bakura said.
"Fine." Sagira sneered. "Sorry about any future crass comments, its the lack of harmful radiowaves, you know, internet, tv, radio, microwave." she burst into tears. "Microwave burritos!" each tear burned a spot of acid into the table they were sitting at. "Why did Tiny have to come to this ra-damned school? I told her I was done with that kind of magic, I told the damned owl I was done with that kind of magic!"
"Sagira, don't cry." Bakura said. "I'm sure that microwave uh..burritos are on the school menus." he said. She wiped her eyes and nose.
"Really?" she asked.
"Come on, lets play Duel Monsters." Bakura said grabbing her hand and leading her upstairs.
* * *
"I told the damned owl I was done with that kind of magic!" Harry heard Tiny shouting.
"What's that all about?" Ron asked.
"I dont know, but I can't get this feeling off that I know Tiny from somewhere."
"Perhaps a past life?" Hermione asked.
"A whatie-whatie?" Ron asked looking at his History of Magic book and scribbling notes down.
"A past life, you know, sometimes we met people in the past lives that we meet in this life. Like I did a bit of research in the summer and it turns out that I was a famous muggle scientist in Germany that nobody believed my out there research and ideas."
Ron gave Harry a look that was all "Told ya she was looney, told ya a long long time ago Harry, but nooo."
"I know, I get a feeling from all of the new students, even Yugi." Harry said.
"Have you noticed how Tiny treats Yugi though, I mean she treats him like dirt, but the highest priced dirt." Ron said. "And I'm pretty sure I caught her bowing to him and calling him the Pharaoh once." he nodded.
"Well we don't know what their relationship is yet. I mean they come from two different places." Hermione said.
"But Tiny treats him like highly priced dirt, and Yugi treats her like a sister, and the way she treats Ryou? Kind of like a student treats a teacher."
"But all of these kids know each other, even though they came from different places, Tiny came from Baton Rouge I think." Harry said. "And Yugi came from Japan, I suspect the others are the same." he said. Yugi popped into the door and slipped into the seat that had recently been occupied by Tiny.
"Have you guys seen um..Tiny?" he asked. His eyes were not the same wide, innocent eyes that they had been before.
"Yeah with the white haired guy, you know him?" Ron asked. "They just went upstairs."
"Ratri." Yugi muttered, so low that you would have to strain even the best ear to hear it. "Well, I'm going to leave."
"Wait!" Harry grabbed Yugi's arm.
"Pharaoh!" a girl ran from a large courtyard into the hot desert, she balled her fists and concentrated veins popped out of her neck and her amber hair was swept out of the pins it was in. She said something in a foreign tongue that Harry did not understand. The earth shook and a mob of scorpians rose from the ground. She said something else and the small animals started towards the court yard. She looked to the city about a mile away from her, screams were rising, not from the scorpians running rapid, but from someone stealing something. "Bakura." she said.
"What's wrong?" Yugi asked. Harry shook his head.
"Um, what do you need Tiny for?" he asked.
"Um, I, well." Yugi's eyes darted around nervously. "Um," something in his eyes showed he was probably going to die a very early death if he said the thing he was about to say. "She's my girlfriend." he blurted.
"Oh." Hermione said. Harry let go and Yugi sprang up the stairs. "Well that makes things even more complicated then." Hermione said. Harry replayed the images in his head. The girl with the curly amber hair, and the sparkling amber eyes, that suddenly went dark and perplexed, the earth quake, the scorpians attacking, the sparkling courtyard. His mind zeroed in on something in the backround, a woman, dark hair and a long neck, she was skinny and pinched with pale skin. Aunt Petunia.
