And if you can read that, you are seriously whacked.

"Kakra?" Mutankagara asked.
"Kai and Ardaz Molanii." Zesibo said. "Kakra heard that there was a party goin' on up here." she said.
"Wait," Sagira said. "I left Hamai with you, and if you are here, then where is Hamai?" the question was quickly answered by a giggling by the doorway. A small girl, two feet tall, was standing behind Zesibo, two front teeth missing and her hair was grown just past her ears.
"Toupiti!!!" she yelled running to Sagira. Sagira hugged her and picked her up swiftly.
"Wait, how did you get here?" she asked.
"We were going to keep it a surprise, I mean if you found out that we were taking an all expense paid trip, Oahu to England, you'd go all freaked." Zesibo said. Ardaz and Kai were both twins, they were both in their late twenties and had long brown hair that reached down their backs, and almond shaped eyes, they came from Hawaii, where they were supposed to be watching Hamai.
"Is this allowed?" Bakura asked. "I mean, are you allowed to have a child that isn't a wizard here?" sure enough, an alarml rang through the whole building. "I thought so." he said.
"We have to get Hamai out!" Sagira said as the building shook. "Some where, non magical." she said.
"Okay," Kakra said. "Zesibo and me will wait outside the Leaky Cauldron, you take her as far as the muggle world and we'll get her to a hotel, Kai and Ardaz already took their teachers initiation already anyways." she said.
"What are you going to be?" Mutankagara asked.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts assistants." they said. "Isis sent us."
"Isniso." Mutankagara muttered. "She hasn't changed."
"I'll start down, we'll go to Flortescue's for a quick snack, then I'll get her to the normal world." Sagira said. She turned to Hamai. "Kay?" she asked. Hamai cocked her head. Sagira sighed and said the whole thing again in her language.
"Oh." Hamai said, she nodded. Sagira nodded to them and went into Tiny's trunks, trying to find robes that would fit Hamai until they could get outside. When they found ones that were sufficient, they went downstairs. Mutankagara had used her wand to fit the robes to Hamai's small figure and Sagira helped her climb down the steep stairs. Hamai now, having lived in Hawaii for a while, had longer hair that wasn't gelled up and she looked like a small boy with dark skin. Sagira rushed her into the wizarding world and to the Ice Cream Parlor, they sat down and Hamai was treated to her first magical smoothie. Then they played the hand version of Duel Monsters. Hamai had her own deck, if not as complete as Tiny's deck but still, it had a few good monsters. Suddenly, in the middle of the game, red sparks rose from the streets. Sagira got Hamai up and rushed her to The Leaky Cauldron. She put the hood over Hamai's head and bowed her head down when they got stares from some people. Including Harry and his friends.
"I don't want to walk anymore." Hamai said. Sagira scowled and picked her up, she carried her outside and set her down. But Kakra and Zesibo weren't anywhere she could see. The red sparks were coming from a wizard in the middle of the street, people rushed out from the pub and looked around, they all stared at the sky and gasped.
"The Dark Mark." some said. Others whispered, small children whimpered. Harry and co. were also outside, staring at the sky, at the small formation created by clouds. Hamai whispered to Sagira.
"Its the Black Thing." she said. "When the Black Thin' appurs, the..." she gulped. "The Deatheaters come." she said, so low that one would have to strain their ears to hear her.
* * *
"Okay, so obviously, Hamai here knows more about magic then we do." Sagira said, it was the second meeting of the day.
"How can she?" Zaliki asked. Sagira held up the seven year olds hands.
"Oh, the attack." Mutankagara said.
"Hamai can sense things, intuition but better. I think she was born with it, like Tiny's gramma. She knows about Deatheaters, magic, everything, she belongs here more than Tiny does." Sagira said. She bent down to Hamai. "What do you know about the Black Thing?" she asked in French. Hamai answered.
"It appurs befo' the Deat'eters du," she struggled to say in English. "Befo' o' aft' dey 'tack." Just at that time, Harry was knocking on the door to Yami's room. Yami, Bakura, Mutankagara and Zaliki changed into their Hikari's forms as Malik opened the door (Sagira still hasn't learned how).
"Have you heard the news?" he asked. He held up a special edition of the Daily Prophet, titled "JENAKA JEMINGSONS KILLED IN SIGHT OF MUGGLES," and the subtitle. "Jemingsons was murdered in plain view of hundreds of muggles and her wizard friend, who remains anonymous, just outside the door to Diagon Alley." Yami, Mutankagara, Bakura, Malik and Zaliki fled over to Harry who was holding the paper. On it was a photograph of the girl (around sixteen with short blond hair) and of the formation in the sky.
"The Black Thin'." Hamai said. Harry looked at her.
"Who's that?" he asked.
"This is...." Sagira searched for a thought. "The newest new student!" she said. "Hamako Takamura!" she said. "Takamura, he's from Batno, Japanese name though." she said. Lisa likes Nelson, Milhouse likes Lisa, Daisy likes Milhouse. "He's eleven, fresh from the Rouge." she said.
"Well, hi." Harry said holding out his hand. Hamai stared.
"He doesn't understand English." Zaliki said, catching onto Hamai's sudden "change", Hamai was boyish, so why not masquerade as a boy?!
"The Black Thin'!!" Hamai said impatiently, yet fearfully. "It's the black thing!!" she said in Spanish. Sagira grabbed the paper from Harry's hands, Hamai flinched as the "Black thin'" got nearer to her.
"She was killed by Deatheaters." Sagira said darkly. "Hamako was attacked last year, by these guys." she told Harry. "He saw the Dark Mark."
"You can leave now." Zaliki said. "You've done your job for the day, get a cookie." she said shooing him off and closing the door.
"But-" slam.
"Okay, tell me what you know about Deatheaters, Hamai." Sagira said.
* * *
Harry almost fell back against the wall when Amoush pushed him out. They had seemed so interested in the Daily Prophet, and the little boy, Hamaiko was it? He was strange too, Harry didn't exactly know if he spoke English or not. Hamaiko had something strange about him, perhaps the voice, it was high like a childs, or the face, dark and with shining honey eyes, or the fact that his robes were a few sizes too big for him, his hair hidden away under a hooded cloak. But something wasn't completely right, not about any of them, and who was that lady in the room? She looked old.
"Harry!" Ginny caught him in the hall. "I just met our knew DADA teachers." she said.
"Teachers?" Harry asked.
"There's three, one teacher and two assistants." Ginny said. "Its Mu- Nara Weslin, Professor Weslin and Professors Molanii." she said. There was yelliing in the room and Yugi walked out.
"Harry!" he said. "Um, do you want to play poker?" he asked holding up a deck of playing cards. "Or maybe, Speed? Cash? Ron and Hermione could play too!" he said. "Or any other game, how about wizards chess? Exploding snap poker? Exploding snap speed?" he asked inpatiently.
"Maybe later." Harry said. Yugi nodded and headed downstairs, no doubt to challenge Ron to a game of poker, cash or speed, none of which Ron knew how to play. No doubt Yugi would teach him; Harry saw Yugi play about forty consecutive games of solitary against himself, then challenge someone to a few games of poker, after that he would ask anybody if they wanted to play Cash. Not to mention his sudden mood changes, from innocent to cocky, then back to innocent. Tiny and Ryou were the same way, one way, then the next way. And what was with Tiny's changing hair? Harry heard electrical crackling from inside, as Ginny chatted about something.
"What's that inside?" she asked. She knocked on the door. Tiny answered, but not the same Tiny it seemed.
"What?" she asked. She saw Ginny and pulled her inside.
* * *
"Ginny, this is Hamai." Sagira said. "Hamai, ella esta una amiga," she said something in a different tongue that Ginny couldn't quite pick up. German, maybe? Bakura was in the corner, altering a arm band of some kind, which explained the noise. He was wearing a mask covering his face and sparks were flying everywhere.
"What's he doing?" Ginny asked.
"Altering his duel disk to use magic, he wants to find some way to use electricity in this place. Perhaps a spell you might know?" she asked. Of course, this is why they wanted Ginny here, she knew more spells then they did.
"Not any." Ginny said. "I mean, I know alot, but an electrical/magical merge has never been attempted before." she said.
"Almost done!" Bakura yelled, blue sparks flew from the Duel Disk.
"We've already translated the cards, and figured out a way to make the cards real like in Egypt, and connected to the person who owns them. Very simple Chinese spell, I don't know what I should call it though." Sagira said. "Perhaps The Life to the Lifeless spell, no." she said. "Okay, anyways. Um..do you know a way to transfer a bit of magic to a person?" Sagira asked.
"No, I'm sure there is a way but I dont know one." Ginny said.
"Well, maybe for Sennen Item holders there is, considering we have more power. I'm trying to get one of the twins to transfer some power to Hamai, otherwise it'll be pretty obvious that she's not a wizard." Sagira looked at Hamai who was squealing at the sparks flying from the duel disk.
"Wizard? You mean witch don't you?" Ginny asked.
Zaliki stepped in. "Hamai isn't exactly...the most feminine of girls, plus, if people knew that the girl who was attacked by the Deatheaters was going to Hogwarts. And plus, she has no magic, we're trying to get her some; a temporary fix you know?"
"Pot?" Sagira asked laughing. When she got weird stares she said "Nevermind."
"Maybe Dumbledore will know." Ginny said. Zaliki and Sagira looked at the floor. "Dumbledore doesn't know does he?" she asked.
"We don't have time to send a letter, email would be pretty useful in this situation." Zaliki said. Bakura stopped working on the Duel Disk and lifted the mask.
"Pretty sure it's done!" he said. He slipped the technology on his arm and stuck his cards inside. "I summon Dark Necrophia!" he yelled. The Duel Disk did nothing. "Damn." he swore and put it down to continue working on it. "Magic sucks."
"Be patient, Bakura." Mutankagara said. "Patience pays off."
"So, Ginny we need you to take Hamai with you, until the sorting, tell Dumbledore our dilema and maybe he'll understand." Sagira said. "Be sure to tell Dumbledore that Hamai is to go by Hamako Takamura, but her real name is Jamaika Jones. Ask him to cast the English charm on her, I only know the charm for inanimate objects."
"Sure," Ginny said.
"Hamai" Sagira said something in a different language, Russian? Hamai walked over to Ginny, uncertain, and Sagira nodded. "Take her to get her books, first year, and get her some new robes." Sagira said to Ginny, she dropped a bag of money into Ginny's hands. "And enough candy to last the month too." she added. Ginny nodded and left with Hamai.
Downstairs, everything was chaos. People were rushing around, Ministry wizards were there too, the Daily Prophet and many other newspapers were taking pictures of the Dark Mark. Hamai shivered at being close to so many people as Ginny led her to get a wand.
"Another short one?!" Ollivander exclaimed when they walked in. "I guess it couldn't hurt, having so much diversity at Hogwarts." he said going to the back. He picked out a wand and gave it to Hamai, who stood there, staring at the piece of wood in her hand. "Wave it around!" he said. Hamai started waving the wand around so violently that it almost flew out the window. Nothing happened. "Well that's not the one, how about this?" he asked grabbing one from the shelf. Hamai waved it around a bit less, nothing happened. "Okay, this one." he grabbed another one and handed it to her.
*
About an hour later, Hamai had finally found a wand that emitted weak sparks. It was, according to Ollivander, a 8 inch, Cherry Blossom Wood, with a Phoenix feather center. Which was strange to Ollivander, because Cherry Blossom Wood was not only rare, but it almost never held any magic. But Hamai was happy, she waved the wand around all day, emitting small green sparks. They bought first year books, a cauldron, dragon skin gloves, ink bottles, quills and parchment, and many other things that Hamai would need. They stopped at the pet store and bought a shiny black rat, since she almost had a seizure around owls and cats.
"Okay, the next thing we have to buy..." Ginny thought about what she had as a first year, when Malik caught up with her. "Hi" she said. "We're buying stuff for Hamai's first year."
"I know, need a list?" Malik asked holding up a first year list. Somewhere out there, he thought, was a small, crying eleven year old. Ginny thanked him and took the list, the next thing they needed...they already had robes(a few sizes too tall), books, inks, quills, a pet, cauldron, gloves, hat, wand, parchment, it seemed like there was nothing else they needed.
"Well, we don't need anything else..." Ginny looked around. Hey, where was Hamai? Where was Malik? Hamai and Malik were both looking at a store window, along with various other students.
"F-f-fiirrrr" Hamai rolled the "R'' ''b-b-ollt." she said. "Firrebold!" she said happily.
"Firebolt," Malik droned. The Firebolt was on a stand, in all its shiny glory. Hamai wondered over to the small paper in the window that told about the broom and read.
"Firebold it is th-th-that brrroom for the Ch-ch-amp-pi-ions." she said, struggling with some of the words.
"She can't read can she?" Ginny asked. Malik shrugged, still watching the broom. "Are you a giraffe?" Ginny asked. Malik shrugged. "Is your name Malik?" he shrugged again. "Harry has a Firebolt."
"WHAT?!" Malik spun around. "Can I borrow it?!" he asked crazily.
"I don't know!" Ginny said. Hamai looked around, she tore off into the shop.
"You'd better follow her." Malik said. Ginny went into the broom shop and watched as Hamai looked at all the different brooms. Hamai picked one out and brought it to Ginny.
"Twenty five galleons." Ginny said, reading the tag. "That's not too bad." she said, they went up to the cashier and payed the twenty five galleons. Soon they were at Flortescues, drinking magical smoothies. After their shopping trip, Ginny and Hamai headed back to the Leaky Cauldron, despite the alarm that was still going off, and the ninety something men still trying to close the doorway. They returned to Yugi, Harry and Ron's room, where Bakura was still working on the duel disk.
"What?" Sagira asked.
"I'm sorry, but my wizarding mind is telling me that to normal wizards, Hamai looks pretty suspicious." Ginny said. Mutankagara looked at Hamai from her seat.
"I can fix that." she said. "Kai? Ardaz?" she looked at the twins who nodded eagerly, big smiles on their faces at their first big mission in England. "We'll be right back, can we get into your room Bakura?" she asked.
"Go 'head." he said throwing them some keys. Mutankagara looked at the rusty silver key.
"Primitive." she said. "Be right back." she took Hamai by the hands and headed to the door.
"Oh," Ginny stopped them at the door. "Hamai is supposed to be a boy, so change her appearence to that of a boys one, she already sounds like a boy though." Ginny said. "Just get her taller, maybe with a better haircut?" she said.
"Sure." Kakra said. They disappeared through the door.
"Ever noticed how most of the girl Sennen item holders are brunettes?" Sagira asked, scrunching up her nose.
"Hm..." Zaliki thought for a moment. "Sharifa and me are the only blondes, scary."
"Creepy." Sagira said.
"We were in Ancient Egypt people!" Bakura said. "If I'm not wrong, there weren't many blonde people in Egypt around that time!"
"Shut up Whit-ey!" Sagira yelled. Yami started laughing. "You too Pharaoh!" she yelled. He shut up. A few minutes later, Mutankagara, Kakra and Zesibo came in with the new and improved Hamai, who now had the same dark freckled skin, the same dark brown eyes, but was a few feet taller, with a better hair cut and her hair spiked. Hamai no longer looked much like a girl, but then again, she never did. The new robes fit perfectly now, and Hamai was leaner than before.
"We also made her speak English, and Kakra and Ardaz gave her an even amount of powers." Mutankagara said. "We sent a letter to Dumbledore, introducing his new student and his history, Hamako Takamura now is a full fledged wizard!"
"And Kai and Ardaz Molanii only have double the power of a wizard." Zesibo said. "But, we're good."
"And not to mention the fact that Hamai might not even need their powers!" Mutankagara laughed. "Apparently we WEREN'T all connected after all! Kai-bek decided to create another Sennen item under our noses!"
"Really?" They all asked.
"No, I'm just messing with your heads, but one of our kin did just die!" Mutankagara said, she pulled out a Daily Prophet and a gold object from her cloak. She turned to a page in the Daily Prophet and handed it to Zaliki first, then she introduced the gold object, which was more like Malik's Sennen Rod with a large diamond surrounded by sapphires in the middle than anything. "Introducing the Sennen Item!" she said.
"What is it?" Yami asked as Sagira's eyes scanned the paper.
"It's an Item!" Mutankagara said. "That's what it is you see, it changed shapes so often that Sharifa couldn't find a good name for it, just concentrate on what you want it to be and it'll turn! I stole it from some shady looking figures in black cloaks." she said. "Some of the most popular shapes it takes are necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets and, yeah." she said.
"Thank you!" Hamai said taking the Item from Mutankagara's hand, she closed her eyes and looked as if she were concentrating on something, the Item soon changed into an arm band with the same diamond and sapphire pattern on it, though much smaller, Hamai slipped it on her left arm and took a look at it.
"Thankfully, that Item isn't one that contains a spirit. Sharifa thought not to plague the next person who would hold it." Mutankagara said.
"What's that Item's power?" Ginny asked.
"The power of the Reflect and to banish people to the Shadow World." Mutankagara said.
"Shadow Realm." Bakura said angrily. "How can so many people get this wrong?!" he asked himself as he continued to work on the duel disk.
"Sorry!" Mutankagara said. She looked at Hamai. "Okay, now you go out and use that responsibly! Go banish as many people as possible!" she said.
"Before you go Mutankagara, and Hamai, don't do that with the light switch, can you kinda, do that learning spell?" Sagira asked. "Hamai can't read, or write," she said.
"No problem, of course that requires transfering some intelligence from another." she looked at the twins.
"Not us!" they said.
Zesibo idly fiddled with the small star on the jeweled string around her neck. "But I'm sure we can find some spirit who's cool with not being able to read and write." she said. They hurried off to Tiny's room to contact the dead while Mutankagara informed Hamai on how to send people to the Shadow Realm.
"Don't teach her that!" Zaliki said. "Then Bakura's gonna have to go back in there and get the person out!"
Bakura looked at Zaliki as if she were crazy. "No I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
Bakura looked at Mutankagara. "Don't teach her that." he said. "I only like sending people to the Shadow Realm, going there is a bit on the crazy side, those people hate my guts!" he said.
"Gee, I wonder why that is." Zaliki muttered as someone knocked on the door. Zaliki kicked Bakura on the back. "Kura kid, please go get that." she said sweetly. Bakura obediently got up and answered the door, muttering something about stupid spoiled princesses. It turned out to be Harry and Ron, asking sweetly for permission to have their room.
"No!" Bakura said slamming the door. "Got rid of those pests mighty well didn't I?" he said going back over to the duel disk. "Now lets see." he said picking it up. "I summon...Dark Necrophia!" he said.
"Big surprise..." Zaliki muttered.
"Do you want this to work or not?" Bakura asked. He turned back to the duel disk. "I summon Headless Knight!" he yelled.
"Finally! Some versatility! It's always-" she did a very bad imitation of Bakura. "DARK NECROPHIA! DARK NECROPHIA! Oh, I think I'll summon...DARK NECROPHIA!!"
"Shut up!" Bakura said. He turned back to the duel disk. "I summon HEADLESS KNIGHT!" he yelled. He placed the card horizontally in defence mode. "In defence!" the hollogram of the Knight appeared in front of Bakura. He whooped and yelled and pranced around in happiness, until an electrical crackling was heard and the Knight shorted out. "Damn." he swore and went back to sitting on the floor and started working on the duel disk again.
"Poor Bakura, that's the fourth time today." Sagira said. She looked at the white-haired boy with pity, then went back to reading the paper.
"What are you reading?" Zaliki asked peering over Sagira's shoulder.
"Magical comics." she said absentmindedly. "The closest I can get to actual TV, so far this little owl dude has dissed his owner about fifteen times now."
"Isn't this like the Wizarding equivilant of Garfield?" Zaliki asked. "And hey look down there, it's like Foxtrot! Only everyone's in robes! And look, Owladuke? Marmaduke? See the similarity? Do I see Dilbert? 5 knuts for psychiatric help? Do I smell Peanuts?"
Bakura wondered over to where Sagira was sitting, Zaliki looking over her shoulder. "Minisbury? Doonsbury?" he said. "Anyone seeing a similarity here?"
"And this?" he said pointing to a comic with a woman with very frizzy hair picking out a robe, another woman was suggesting what to buy. "Mary Helen? Kathy with that plagerism anyone?" he asked.
"All of these comics are taken from muggle ones!" Zaliki yelled. Ginny went over to look at the small crowd that was gathering around the newspaper.
"Ooh! Look! Snowyfield!" she said pointing to the snowy white owl that was dissing his owner for the five hundreth time. "It's my favorite comic!" she said.
Hamai wondered over to the four teens. She looked at the "Snowyfield" and ptah-ed. "Cheap imitation!" she sneered. She looked at the newspaper and it suddenly fell limp.
They all backed away from Hamai as the pictures in the paper slowly stopped moving. Bakura looked at Hamai.
"I feel Hamai is getting a little too used to her powers." he said.

"Kakra?" Mutankagara asked.
"Kai and Ardaz Molanii." Zesibo said. "Kakra heard that there was a party goin' on up here." she said.
"Wait," Sagira said. "I left Hamai with you, and if you are here, then where is Hamai?" the question was quickly answered by a giggling by the doorway. A small girl, two feet tall, was standing behind Zesibo, two front teeth missing and her hair was grown just past her ears.
"Toupiti!!!" she yelled running to Sagira. Sagira hugged her and picked her up swiftly.
"Wait, how did you get here?" she asked.
"We were going to keep it a surprise, I mean if you found out that we were taking an all expense paid trip, Oahu to England, you'd go all freaked." Zesibo said. Ardaz and Kai were both twins, they were both in their late twenties and had long brown hair that reached down their backs, and almond shaped eyes, they came from Hawaii, where they were supposed to be watching Hamai.
"Is this allowed?" Bakura asked. "I mean, are you allowed to have a child that isn't a wizard here?" sure enough, an alarml rang through the whole building. "I thought so." he said.

"What are you going to be?" Mutankagara asked.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts assistants." they said. "Isis sent us."
"Isniso." Mutankagara muttered. "She hasn't changed."
"I'll start down, we'll go to Flortescue's for a quick snack, then I'll get her to the normal world." Sagira said. She turned to Hamai. "Kay?" she asked. Hamai cocked her head. Sagira sighed and said the whole thing again in her language.
"Oh." Hamai said, she nodded. Sagira nodded to them and went into Tiny's trunks, trying to find robes that would fit Hamai until they could get outside. When they found ones that were sufficient, they went downstairs. Mutankagara had used her wand to fit the robes to Hamai's small figure and Sagira helped her climb down the steep stairs. Hamai now, having lived in Hawaii for a while, had longer hair that wasn't gelled up and she looked like a small boy with dark skin. Sagira rushed her into the wizarding world and to the Ice Cream Parlor, they sat down and Hamai was treated to her first magical smoothie. Then they played the hand version of Duel Monsters. Hamai had her own deck, if not as complete as Tiny's deck but still, it had a few good monsters. Suddenly, in the middle of the game, red sparks rose from the streets. Sagira got Hamai up and rushed her to The Leaky Cauldron. She put the hood over Hamai's head and bowed her head down when they got stares from some people. Including Harry and his friends.
"I don't want to walk anymore." Hamai said. Sagira scowled and picked her up, she carried her outside and set her down. But Kakra and Zesibo weren't anywhere she could see. The red sparks were coming from a wizard in the middle of the street, people rushed out from the pub and looked around, they all stared at the sky and gasped.
"The Dark Mark." some said. Others whispered, small children whimpered. Harry and co. were also outside, staring at the sky, at the small formation created by clouds. Hamai whispered to Sagira.
"Its the Black Thing." she said. "When the Black Thin' appurs, the..." she gulped. "The Deatheaters come." she said, so low that one would have to strain their ears to hear her.
* * *
"Okay, so obviously, Hamai here knows more about magic then we do." Sagira said, it was the second meeting of the day.
"How can she?" Zaliki asked. Sagira held up the seven year olds hands.
"Oh, the attack." Mutankagara said.
"Hamai can sense things, intuition but better. I think she was born with it, like Tiny's gramma. She knows about Deatheaters, magic, everything, she belongs here more than Tiny does." Sagira said. She bent down to Hamai. "What do you know about the Black Thing?" she asked in French. Hamai answered.
"It appurs befo' the Deat'eters du," she struggled to say in English. "Befo' o' aft' dey 'tack." Just at that time, Harry was knocking on the door to Yami's room. Yami, Bakura, Mutankagara and Zaliki changed into their Hikari's forms as Malik opened the door (Sagira still hasn't learned how).
"Have you heard the news?" he asked. He held up a special edition of the Daily Prophet, titled "JENAKA JEMINGSONS KILLED IN SIGHT OF MUGGLES," and the subtitle. "Jemingsons was murdered in plain view of hundreds of muggles and her wizard friend, who remains anonymous, just outside the door to Diagon Alley." Yami, Mutankagara, Bakura, Malik and Zaliki fled over to Harry who was holding the paper. On it was a photograph of the girl (around sixteen with short blond hair) and of the formation in the sky.
"The Black Thin'." Hamai said. Harry looked at her.
"Who's that?" he asked.
"This is...." Sagira searched for a thought. "The newest new student!" she said. "Hamako Takamura!" she said. "Takamura, he's from Batno, Japanese name though." she said. Lisa likes Nelson, Milhouse likes Lisa, Daisy likes Milhouse. "He's eleven, fresh from the Rouge." she said.
"Well, hi." Harry said holding out his hand. Hamai stared.
"He doesn't understand English." Zaliki said, catching onto Hamai's sudden "change", Hamai was boyish, so why not masquerade as a boy?!
"The Black Thin'!!" Hamai said impatiently, yet fearfully. "It's the black thing!!" she said in Spanish. Sagira grabbed the paper from Harry's hands, Hamai flinched as the "Black thin'" got nearer to her.
"She was killed by Deatheaters." Sagira said darkly. "Hamako was attacked last year, by these guys." she told Harry. "He saw the Dark Mark."
"You can leave now." Zaliki said. "You've done your job for the day, get a cookie." she said shooing him off and closing the door.
"But-" slam.
"Okay, tell me what you know about Deatheaters, Hamai." Sagira said.
* * *
Harry almost fell back against the wall when Amoush pushed him out. They had seemed so interested in the Daily Prophet, and the little boy, Hamaiko was it? He was strange too, Harry didn't exactly know if he spoke English or not. Hamaiko had something strange about him, perhaps the voice, it was high like a childs, or the face, dark and with shining honey eyes, or the fact that his robes were a few sizes too big for him, his hair hidden away under a hooded cloak. But something wasn't completely right, not about any of them, and who was that lady in the room? She looked old.
"Harry!" Ginny caught him in the hall. "I just met our knew DADA teachers." she said.
"Teachers?" Harry asked.
"There's three, one teacher and two assistants." Ginny said. "Its Mu- Nara Weslin, Professor Weslin and Professors Molanii." she said. There was yelliing in the room and Yugi walked out.
"Harry!" he said. "Um, do you want to play poker?" he asked holding up a deck of playing cards. "Or maybe, Speed? Cash? Ron and Hermione could play too!" he said. "Or any other game, how about wizards chess? Exploding snap poker? Exploding snap speed?" he asked inpatiently.
"Maybe later." Harry said. Yugi nodded and headed downstairs, no doubt to challenge Ron to a game of poker, cash or speed, none of which Ron knew how to play. No doubt Yugi would teach him; Harry saw Yugi play about forty consecutive games of solitary against himself, then challenge someone to a few games of poker, after that he would ask anybody if they wanted to play Cash. Not to mention his sudden mood changes, from innocent to cocky, then back to innocent. Tiny and Ryou were the same way, one way, then the next way. And what was with Tiny's changing hair? Harry heard electrical crackling from inside, as Ginny chatted about something.
"What's that inside?" she asked. She knocked on the door. Tiny answered, but not the same Tiny it seemed.
"What?" she asked. She saw Ginny and pulled her inside.
* * *
"Ginny, this is Hamai." Sagira said. "Hamai, ella esta una amiga," she said something in a different tongue that Ginny couldn't quite pick up. German, maybe? Bakura was in the corner, altering a arm band of some kind, which explained the noise. He was wearing a mask covering his face and sparks were flying everywhere.
"What's he doing?" Ginny asked.
"Altering his duel disk to use magic, he wants to find some way to use electricity in this place. Perhaps a spell you might know?" she asked. Of course, this is why they wanted Ginny here, she knew more spells then they did.
"Not any." Ginny said. "I mean, I know alot, but an electrical/magical merge has never been attempted before." she said.
"Almost done!" Bakura yelled, blue sparks flew from the Duel Disk.
"We've already translated the cards, and figured out a way to make the cards real like in Egypt, and connected to the person who owns them. Very simple Chinese spell, I don't know what I should call it though." Sagira said. "Perhaps The Life to the Lifeless spell, no." she said. "Okay, anyways. Um..do you know a way to transfer a bit of magic to a person?" Sagira asked.
"No, I'm sure there is a way but I dont know one." Ginny said.
"Well, maybe for Sennen Item holders there is, considering we have more power. I'm trying to get one of the twins to transfer some power to Hamai, otherwise it'll be pretty obvious that she's not a wizard." Sagira looked at Hamai who was squealing at the sparks flying from the duel disk.
"Wizard? You mean witch don't you?" Ginny asked.
Zaliki stepped in. "Hamai isn't exactly...the most feminine of girls, plus, if people knew that the girl who was attacked by the Deatheaters was going to Hogwarts. And plus, she has no magic, we're trying to get her some; a temporary fix you know?"
"Pot?" Sagira asked laughing. When she got weird stares she said "Nevermind."
"Maybe Dumbledore will know." Ginny said. Zaliki and Sagira looked at the floor. "Dumbledore doesn't know does he?" she asked.
"We don't have time to send a letter, email would be pretty useful in this situation." Zaliki said. Bakura stopped working on the Duel Disk and lifted the mask.
"Pretty sure it's done!" he said. He slipped the technology on his arm and stuck his cards inside. "I summon Dark Necrophia!" he yelled. The Duel Disk did nothing. "Damn." he swore and put it down to continue working on it. "Magic sucks."
"Be patient, Bakura." Mutankagara said. "Patience pays off."
"So, Ginny we need you to take Hamai with you, until the sorting, tell Dumbledore our dilema and maybe he'll understand." Sagira said. "Be sure to tell Dumbledore that Hamai is to go by Hamako Takamura, but her real name is Jamaika Jones. Ask him to cast the English charm on her, I only know the charm for inanimate objects."
"Sure," Ginny said.
"Hamai" Sagira said something in a different language, Russian? Hamai walked over to Ginny, uncertain, and Sagira nodded. "Take her to get her books, first year, and get her some new robes." Sagira said to Ginny, she dropped a bag of money into Ginny's hands. "And enough candy to last the month too." she added. Ginny nodded and left with Hamai.
Downstairs, everything was chaos. People were rushing around, Ministry wizards were there too, the Daily Prophet and many other newspapers were taking pictures of the Dark Mark. Hamai shivered at being close to so many people as Ginny led her to get a wand.
"Another short one?!" Ollivander exclaimed when they walked in. "I guess it couldn't hurt, having so much diversity at Hogwarts." he said going to the back. He picked out a wand and gave it to Hamai, who stood there, staring at the piece of wood in her hand. "Wave it around!" he said. Hamai started waving the wand around so violently that it almost flew out the window. Nothing happened. "Well that's not the one, how about this?" he asked grabbing one from the shelf. Hamai waved it around a bit less, nothing happened. "Okay, this one." he grabbed another one and handed it to her.
*
About an hour later, Hamai had finally found a wand that emitted weak sparks. It was, according to Ollivander, a 8 inch, Cherry Blossom Wood, with a Phoenix feather center. Which was strange to Ollivander, because Cherry Blossom Wood was not only rare, but it almost never held any magic. But Hamai was happy, she waved the wand around all day, emitting small green sparks. They bought first year books, a cauldron, dragon skin gloves, ink bottles, quills and parchment, and many other things that Hamai would need. They stopped at the pet store and bought a shiny black rat, since she almost had a seizure around owls and cats.
"Okay, the next thing we have to buy..." Ginny thought about what she had as a first year, when Malik caught up with her. "Hi" she said. "We're buying stuff for Hamai's first year."
"I know, need a list?" Malik asked holding up a first year list. Somewhere out there, he thought, was a small, crying eleven year old. Ginny thanked him and took the list, the next thing they needed...they already had robes(a few sizes too tall), books, inks, quills, a pet, cauldron, gloves, hat, wand, parchment, it seemed like there was nothing else they needed.
"Well, we don't need anything else..." Ginny looked around. Hey, where was Hamai? Where was Malik? Hamai and Malik were both looking at a store window, along with various other students.
"F-f-fiirrrr" Hamai rolled the "R'' ''b-b-ollt." she said. "Firrebold!" she said happily.
"Firebolt," Malik droned. The Firebolt was on a stand, in all its shiny glory. Hamai wondered over to the small paper in the window that told about the broom and read.
"Firebold it is th-th-that brrroom for the Ch-ch-amp-pi-ions." she said, struggling with some of the words.
"She can't read can she?" Ginny asked. Malik shrugged, still watching the broom. "Are you a giraffe?" Ginny asked. Malik shrugged. "Is your name Malik?" he shrugged again. "Harry has a Firebolt."
"WHAT?!" Malik spun around. "Can I borrow it?!" he asked crazily.
"I don't know!" Ginny said. Hamai looked around, she tore off into the shop.
"You'd better follow her." Malik said. Ginny went into the broom shop and watched as Hamai looked at all the different brooms. Hamai picked one out and brought it to Ginny.
"Twenty five galleons." Ginny said, reading the tag. "That's not too bad." she said, they went up to the cashier and payed the twenty five galleons. Soon they were at Flortescues, drinking magical smoothies. After their shopping trip, Ginny and Hamai headed back to the Leaky Cauldron, despite the alarm that was still going off, and the ninety something men still trying to close the doorway. They returned to Yugi, Harry and Ron's room, where Bakura was still working on the duel disk.
"What?" Sagira asked.
"I'm sorry, but my wizarding mind is telling me that to normal wizards, Hamai looks pretty suspicious." Ginny said. Mutankagara looked at Hamai from her seat.
"I can fix that." she said. "Kai? Ardaz?" she looked at the twins who nodded eagerly, big smiles on their faces at their first big mission in England. "We'll be right back, can we get into your room Bakura?" she asked.
"Go 'head." he said throwing them some keys. Mutankagara looked at the rusty silver key.
"Primitive." she said. "Be right back." she took Hamai by the hands and headed to the door.
"Oh," Ginny stopped them at the door. "Hamai is supposed to be a boy, so change her appearence to that of a boys one, she already sounds like a boy though." Ginny said. "Just get her taller, maybe with a better haircut?" she said.
"Sure." Kakra said. They disappeared through the door.
"Ever noticed how most of the girl Sennen item holders are brunettes?" Sagira asked, scrunching up her nose.
"Hm..." Zaliki thought for a moment. "Sharifa and me are the only blondes, scary."
"Creepy." Sagira said.
"We were in Ancient Egypt people!" Bakura said. "If I'm not wrong, there weren't many blonde people in Egypt around that time!"
"Shut up Whit-ey!" Sagira yelled. Yami started laughing. "You too Pharaoh!" she yelled. He shut up. A few minutes later, Mutankagara, Kakra and Zesibo came in with the new and improved Hamai, who now had the same dark freckled skin, the same dark brown eyes, but was a few feet taller, with a better hair cut and her hair spiked. Hamai no longer looked much like a girl, but then again, she never did. The new robes fit perfectly now, and Hamai was leaner than before.
"We also made her speak English, and Kakra and Ardaz gave her an even amount of powers." Mutankagara said. "We sent a letter to Dumbledore, introducing his new student and his history, Hamako Takamura now is a full fledged wizard!"
"And Kai and Ardaz Molanii only have double the power of a wizard." Zesibo said. "But, we're good."
"And not to mention the fact that Hamai might not even need their powers!" Mutankagara laughed. "Apparently we WEREN'T all connected after all! Kai-bek decided to create another Sennen item under our noses!"
"Really?" They all asked.
"No, I'm just messing with your heads, but one of our kin did just die!" Mutankagara said, she pulled out a Daily Prophet and a gold object from her cloak. She turned to a page in the Daily Prophet and handed it to Zaliki first, then she introduced the gold object, which was more like Malik's Sennen Rod with a large diamond surrounded by sapphires in the middle than anything. "Introducing the Sennen Item!" she said.
"What is it?" Yami asked as Sagira's eyes scanned the paper.
"It's an Item!" Mutankagara said. "That's what it is you see, it changed shapes so often that Sharifa couldn't find a good name for it, just concentrate on what you want it to be and it'll turn! I stole it from some shady looking figures in black cloaks." she said. "Some of the most popular shapes it takes are necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets and, yeah." she said.
"Thank you!" Hamai said taking the Item from Mutankagara's hand, she closed her eyes and looked as if she were concentrating on something, the Item soon changed into an arm band with the same diamond and sapphire pattern on it, though much smaller, Hamai slipped it on her left arm and took a look at it.
"Thankfully, that Item isn't one that contains a spirit. Sharifa thought not to plague the next person who would hold it." Mutankagara said.
"What's that Item's power?" Ginny asked.
"The power of the Reflect and to banish people to the Shadow World." Mutankagara said.
"Shadow Realm." Bakura said angrily. "How can so many people get this wrong?!" he asked himself as he continued to work on the duel disk.
"Sorry!" Mutankagara said. She looked at Hamai. "Okay, now you go out and use that responsibly! Go banish as many people as possible!" she said.
"Before you go Mutankagara, and Hamai, don't do that with the light switch, can you kinda, do that learning spell?" Sagira asked. "Hamai can't read, or write," she said.
"No problem, of course that requires transfering some intelligence from another." she looked at the twins.
"Not us!" they said.
Zesibo idly fiddled with the small star on the jeweled string around her neck. "But I'm sure we can find some spirit who's cool with not being able to read and write." she said. They hurried off to Tiny's room to contact the dead while Mutankagara informed Hamai on how to send people to the Shadow Realm.
"Don't teach her that!" Zaliki said. "Then Bakura's gonna have to go back in there and get the person out!"
Bakura looked at Zaliki as if she were crazy. "No I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
Bakura looked at Mutankagara. "Don't teach her that." he said. "I only like sending people to the Shadow Realm, going there is a bit on the crazy side, those people hate my guts!" he said.
"Gee, I wonder why that is." Zaliki muttered as someone knocked on the door. Zaliki kicked Bakura on the back. "Kura kid, please go get that." she said sweetly. Bakura obediently got up and answered the door, muttering something about stupid spoiled princesses. It turned out to be Harry and Ron, asking sweetly for permission to have their room.
"No!" Bakura said slamming the door. "Got rid of those pests mighty well didn't I?" he said going back over to the duel disk. "Now lets see." he said picking it up. "I summon...Dark Necrophia!" he said.
"Big surprise..." Zaliki muttered.
"Do you want this to work or not?" Bakura asked. He turned back to the duel disk. "I summon Headless Knight!" he yelled.
"Finally! Some versatility! It's always-" she did a very bad imitation of Bakura. "DARK NECROPHIA! DARK NECROPHIA! Oh, I think I'll summon...DARK NECROPHIA!!"
"Shut up!" Bakura said. He turned back to the duel disk. "I summon HEADLESS KNIGHT!" he yelled. He placed the card horizontally in defence mode. "In defence!" the hollogram of the Knight appeared in front of Bakura. He whooped and yelled and pranced around in happiness, until an electrical crackling was heard and the Knight shorted out. "Damn." he swore and went back to sitting on the floor and started working on the duel disk again.
"Poor Bakura, that's the fourth time today." Sagira said. She looked at the white-haired boy with pity, then went back to reading the paper.
"What are you reading?" Zaliki asked peering over Sagira's shoulder.
"Magical comics." she said absentmindedly. "The closest I can get to actual TV, so far this little owl dude has dissed his owner about fifteen times now."
"Isn't this like the Wizarding equivilant of Garfield?" Zaliki asked. "And hey look down there, it's like Foxtrot! Only everyone's in robes! And look, Owladuke? Marmaduke? See the similarity? Do I see Dilbert? 5 knuts for psychiatric help? Do I smell Peanuts?"
Bakura wondered over to where Sagira was sitting, Zaliki looking over her shoulder. "Minisbury? Doonsbury?" he said. "Anyone seeing a similarity here?"
"And this?" he said pointing to a comic with a woman with very frizzy hair picking out a robe, another woman was suggesting what to buy. "Mary Helen? Kathy with that plagerism anyone?" he asked.
"All of these comics are taken from muggle ones!" Zaliki yelled. Ginny went over to look at the small crowd that was gathering around the newspaper.
"Ooh! Look! Snowyfield!" she said pointing to the snowy white owl that was dissing his owner for the five hundreth time. "It's my favorite comic!" she said.
Hamai wondered over to the four teens. She looked at the "Snowyfield" and ptah-ed. "Cheap imitation!" she sneered. She looked at the newspaper and it suddenly fell limp.
They all backed away from Hamai as the pictures in the paper slowly stopped moving. Bakura looked at Hamai.
"I feel Hamai is getting a little too used to her powers." he said.
