Hope it isn't that bad! Also, sorry that this chapter is late, alot has been happening and I needed some new inspiration from stories....okay, on with the story!

"MALIK!" a harsh whisper came. Malik's eyes came into focus and he saw a figure hovering over him. He was about to say something when the person clamped a hand over his mouth. "I can't sleep, those boulders in my room snore!" Tiny said.
"You snuck into the boys dormitary to wake me up at the middle of the night, because you couldn't sleep?" he asked.
"Yeah. Come on, lets go exploring." she said, pulling him out of bed and out the door. The blonde rubbed sleep out of his eyes as the smaller girl led him down the hallway and out of the dorms, into the common room and out the portrait hole.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"Kitchens, I found out where they are, and apparently the house elves will be more than happy to give us some more food. Don't ya think?" she said.
"I think Sagira's starting to rub off on you." Tiny suddenly pulled Malik out of the middle of the hallway and hid behind a suit of armor, pulling Malik along with her.
"I know they're around here somewhere..." a voice said. "Crabbe, Goyle, come on." Malik looked down at Tiny who was straining to hear what the person was saying. "They've probably gone this way." three shadows (two of them extremely large) bounded down the hallway and around the corner.
"They're gone." Tiny said. "You're right, I think she is rubbing off on me." she observed. "Oh well."
* * *
After they had successfully found the kitchens, eaten at least five pounds of food between them, and gotten out of the kitchen with tons more pastries and a tubberware bowl of leftover noodles on their person, they began to walk up the stairways again.
"So, hows Sagira been holding up?" Malik asked.
"She's still a bit traumatized at the loss of electricity. But she'll be fine." Tiny started unwrapping a chocolate truffle the size of her palm and bit into it.
"Harry says we're to have flying lessons after Potions tomorrow." Malik said nonchalantly.
"WHAT?" Tiny yelled, Malik pulled her into a room as footsteps started rapidly approaching the hallway. Professor McGonagall was pulling a very red Draco Malfoy by the ear.
"I thought you had learned your lesson last time you did this, but no." she was muttering. "I'm sure one of your other friends are out here too, I heard them." After they had passed, Malik and Tiny peered out from the classroom and closed the door again, Tiny collapsed on the floor.
"That was way too close." she said, sighing deeply. She felt the ground and looked up at Malik. "Something's wrong." she said.
"What?" he asked.
"Grass....it isn't usually in rooms, is it?" Malik felt the ground and indeed, there was grass there.
"I don't think we belong here." he said. "Do you have your wand?" he asked.
"Um, I'm pretty sure." Tiny pulled out the greenish-brown wand from her pocket. "Lumos." she said, remembering a spell from the charms book. The tip of the wand ignited and she stood up to take a look around the room; her hand on the dagger around her neck for reasurance.
Malik sat down on a nearby rock while she looked around the room, his eyes following her as she examined the trees around the room. Something rustled in the corner and they both turned around to see a tall man emerge from a bush, he had pale blonde hair and blue eyes, but instead of legs he had a horses body after his waist. Malik, being currently unarmed (he had left the Rod back under his bed) leapt off the rock and backed up.
"I mean no harm." the man/horse thing said. The words sprung to Tiny's brain.
"You're a centaur." she said. She had no idea how she knew what it was, but then the answer to that came too, Sagira was awake.
"Yes," the centaur said.
"You know about us don't you?" Tiny asked.
"Yes, but I will keep your secret. And I advise you not to go onto the grounds after curfew." the centaur said. They hurriedly rushed out of the room and Malik sighed.
"I'm glad that thing didn't eat us alive." he said.
"What are you talking about? Centaurs are safe creatures....mostly." Tiny said.
"What, did you see the way he looked at me? Like a midnight snack." Malik narrowed his eyes in a suspicious way. Tiny looked at him increduously.
"Are you kidding me?" she asked.
"No really! He was really evil looking that one, I'm glad he isn't one of our teachers...."
* * *
In Potions the next day, it seemed Malik had taken a sleeping draught. Well, at least it was that way to Harry and Ron, Hermione wasn't paying attention, she was busy copying notes from the board. Malik was doozing off into his potion, Tiny was giggling rather insanely and Ryou, whom was sitting next to her, was smiling a bit too. The potion that the class was supposed to be working on at the moment was a rather complicated one, it was supposed to make people cheerful for a few minutes, like a cheering charm but left an "aftertaste" so you would remain at least a bit cheerful for the rest of the day.
Ryou and Tiny's potion wasn't done yet, so it wouldn't explain how she was laughing so much. Suddenly she stopped laughing and went back to her work. At about the same time, a jar of gremlin tongues seemed to just up and drop off of Parvati Patil's table. Harry caught a smudge of brown near the scene, but that was it.
After class, Harry and Ron ran to catch up with Yugi and Bakura, who were walking quickly back to the dorms.
"Oh, hi Harry, Ron, not really in the mood for a conversation right now." Ryou said quickly. "Got to go get something." A spritely laugh echoed off the walls, along with a few murmurs that could have been students getting out of class. Ryou looked around suspiciously and clutched at a gold chain around his throat. "So, um...meet you back at Gryffindor tower, eh?" he asked.
"All right then." Ron said, a bit confused. "But, Yugi, what's that gold thing around your neck? Millenium-something or other, right?" he asked. Yugi looked up.
"Yeah, that's right. My grandpa found it, why?" he said.
"Its in a pyramid in Egypt, a few other things were in there too-"
"Sorry! Got to go!" Ryou said suddenly and pulled Yugi along with him down the corridor, he turned a corner and disappeared from sight.
"Wonder what that was all about." Ron said. "I just asked a question."
* * *
"Where is Sagira?" Yugi asked.
"Well, I was getting a bit of...disgust from her." Ryou said. "I don't think she likes those Gremlin-things very much."
"Hm, not a fan of the creepy crawly, I can relate." Yugi said. "But really, is that a very good reason to flee out of the dungeons, where is she?" he said.
"Bakura seems to think she's in the kitchens, he says when she's sad, happy, scared or angry, she eats."
"That makes sense." Yugi said. "Okay, so where are the kitchens?" Ryou shrugged.
"Hey guys, got any candy?" The two teens turned around to see the teeny-bopper figure of Tiny walking up to them.
"Wait, where were you this whole time?" Ryou asked.
"Hamai, she's having her first flying lesson. Broke out in a bit of a holy fit when the broom went so slow." Sagira cracked a smile.
"So, did you break that jar in class, then?" Yugi asked.
"No, I was going to break the jar of live fireflies in the cabinent though, room could use some light. No, the person who broke it, purely wand magic, just wanted attention." she said. "I'd say it's Harry, he looks the attention-getter to me, how 'bout you?" Ryou looked at her a little confused.
"Do you take a breath when you talk?" he asked, she frowned at him.
"Only afterwards." Sagira answered.
"So how did Hamai do?" Yugi asked.
"Perfect, surprised if she doesn't get on the broom-game-thingy team." Sagira said.
"Broom-game-thingy? Gee, that's specific." Ryou said with a laugh. Sagira scowled again.
"So, where are you guys going?" Sagira asked.
"Well, now I guess we can go to the common room-" Yugi was cut off.
"Good, I'll come too. Our's drips." she said.
"So what were you doing with that Malfoy kid?" Ryou asked.
"Malfoy, that little worm." Sagira drawled. "Thinks he can best me by trying to win me over with inappropiate suggestions, I used eat people like him for breakfast." Sagira said. "Draco Malfoy, the other white meat."
"Well, that's good that you're making friends." Yugi said sarcastically.
"Shut up white-boy." Sagira said as they neared the portrait of the pink lady.
The pink lady gasped. "A Slytherin!" she said.
"Yeah, yeah, let us in." Sagira said. "Um, Firewhiskey." she said.
The Pink Lady made a sort of deadpan "beep" sound. "Wrong, please try again next time."
"It's not the same password as you guys!" Ryou said. "Wringle Marcis." he said. The Pink Lady reluctantly let them it, all the time keeping her eyes on Sagira.
"I don't like that lady very much." Sagira said. She looked around the common room. "Oh no fair! We have cold, hard leather, so not from Aarons!" she said. "You get velvet." she sneered.
"Yes, we're special." Ryou said. Hermione, who was sitting in the corner reading some big heavy book of some kind, glanced up at the trio standing near the doorway, then looked back down, then looked back up and walked over to them.
"Are you crazy? Bringing a Slytherin into the common room!" she said.
"Special circumstances." Sagira said, eyeing Hermione head-to-toe, she walked over to one of the plushie chairs and sat down in it. "So, what have we learned today?" she asked.
"Draco Malfoy should be sold to KFC?" Ryou asked hopefully.
"Gremlin tongues should never be sold to the general public?" Yugi asked, he also sat in one of the chairs.
"Yes, very good students, later you can get a cookie from the jar." she said, taking her robes off and throwing them off the ground. "Don't you just hate those things? So...concealing and...too tight." she said.
"Size too small?" Ryou asked, by now there were subtle hints that he was now Bakura, but Sagira and Yugi showed no signs of worry or attention.
"No, just right, I'm just used to more non-necky clothes. And this stuff," she gestured to the uniforms. "Looks like something from a T.A.T.U. photo shoot!" she began reciting. "Polchasa poezda pod otkos, Palchasa ne tvoya polosa, Palchasa, palchasa v ne vopros." she said.
"You have an excellent memory." Bakura said. "Care to release some information on last months Shonen Jump?"
"You didn't buy it?" she asked.
"NO! His silly grandparents are too good for that "kind of trash"." he said.
"Haha, you got told-"
"Excuse me!" Hermione said. "We still haven't gotten past the fact that there is a Slytherin in the Gryffindor common room!" she said loudly. All of the kids in the common room turned around and looked their way. Sagira looked around.
"Well it isn't ME!" she said. "I'm as Gryffindor as they come; bravery, rugged leather-pants beauty, I've got the whole package!" she said. Bakura coughed a cough that sounded something like "pickpocket" and Sagira hit him hard on the head.
"I don't think Dumbledore would he very happy about this at all!" Hermione said.
"And I suppose you're going to tell him?" Sagira asked.
"About what? What's with the party?" Sagira, Bakura and Yugi turned around to see Malik coming through the portrait hole, a giggling Hamai at his side.
"Hermione here's having a little fit because I'm in the common room." Sagira said.
"Nani?" Malik asked.
"She's going to tell Dumbledore.." Sagira said. "I don't know how much more I can spell it out for you!" she said in Egyptian. Malik sighed and reached into his pocket, grabbing ahold of the Sennen Rod, he erased the memories of everyone in the common room.
"Now come on, lets go before any real damage happens." he said. Sagira stood up and grabbed her robes.
"Hamai, vamos." Sagira turned to Malik. "And you're going to tell me why she's giggling so much." she said.
"Hey, it wasn't me!" Malik said. They exited the common room with a red Hamai in tow.
* * *
The next day, Ron was to be found running up to the breakfast table and hurrying to find Harry.
"Look, I got a response from Bill!" he said.
"About what?" Harry asked, still quite tired.
"The Millenium Puzzle around Yugi's neck." Ron said. "It's an ancient Egyptian artifact forged from gold consecrated with dark magic. It's said, that who ever solves the puzzle will be cursed with the soul of a dark strategist!" he said, rereading the letter. "It used to belong to a pharaoh who's own magic and lust brought his downfall, well, that's what he says. The carvings depict that the Puzzle was a part of a very rare collection of dark objects made around the same time, seven at a time each time." Ron said.
"Wow." Harry said, taking the letter and reading it. "There are pictures..and graphs..and triangle schemes." he said.
"Yeah, the Puzzle belonged to a crazy pharaoh, the Rod belonged to a power-hungry priest, the Ring to a grave robber, the Eye and the Tauk to a mistress of magics, and the others of the first set are lost in the sands. The second set is more known, the Dagger belonged to a prostitute-slash-pickpocket, the Stars to a set of twin dancers, the Band to a Princess in Nubia, the Hathor figure to the adopted daughter of the Pharaoh, and a few others, they weren't exactly known all over like the others, though." Ron said. "I'm acting like Hermione, aren't I?" he said, breathing heavily.
"Yes, yes you are." Harry said. "All of the people, they're in some way connected to the first set."
"And all of the items have curses, just like the puzzle. That means if Yugi's friends have the other items, they might be reincarnations of our little friends here." Ron said. "Which would explain why he keeps beating me at everything!" he said through gritted teeth.
"He couldn't just be really good a chess?" Harry asked.
"Not better than me." Ron said.
"I'll go look into this, maybe we can do research or something, tell Hermione about this too." he said. "But don't tell Yugi and them, they'll be awful and enigmatic about it." Harry said.
"Maybe even with those horrible cryptic answers. Eek." Ron said.
