Professor Lupin sat in on his bed, reading an old letter from Sirius. After reading through it two more times, he sighed, folded the letter up and stuck it in his desk. Pulling his patched robes tightly about him, he set his feet down on the cold, stone floor of his room and got up to close the window.
Moonlight streamed through the window, forming patches of silvery light on the floor. Remus leaned on the windowsill, feeling the cool breeze gently blowing his hair about, his weary eyes peering up at the cloudless, starry night sky. After looking for a moment, he located Sirius, the dog star.
"Sirius…" Lupin muttered as he ran his fingers through his hair, "…I haven't seen or heard from you for a very long time…Harry misses you a lot, that much is obvious…Much has changed since I resigned two years ago…"
He was about to shut the window when a soft, waving note broke the silence of the night. He quickly opened the window again and stuck his head out, straining to hear the sound.
"An ocarina, eh? Must be the white haired kid, Link. Dumbledore mentioned the boy's musical talent several times in his letters to me. Picks up new pieces as easily as though he'd been playing them all his life."
Lupin leaned against the windowsill, idly twirling a loose thread from his tattered robes. "He's a rather mysterious fellow…even Dumbledore couldn't tell me too much about him…"

"Mmph…impth hem--"
"Get your face out of the pillow Harry." Ron whispered harshly, "I can't understand a word of what you're trying to say."
"Don't you think it's kind of strange that we'd disappear all day, only to reappear unharmed at the end of the day?" Harry repeated, lifting his head a little.
"Of course." Ron scoffed.
Harry sighed. "I was planning to spend the day coming up with plans for making the Dursleys stay at Hogwarts utterly miserable."
"Ah. That sucks. I would have been glad to help with that. Do you think Dudley will fall for the ton tongue toffees again?" Ron muttered.
There was a long pause.
"Are you listening to me?"
"Have you seen Yugi or Bakura?" Harry asked suddenly.
Ron cocked an eyebrow. "No, why?"
"Hey, Link. Have you seen either Yugi or Bakura lately?" Harry whispered loudly, ignoring Ron's question.
"Those two seem to disappear a lot in the short time we've known them." Ron commented.
"Hey, Link…Have you seen--" Harry's voice trailed off.
Link had been rubbing his temples and acting really strangely ever since he'd gone up to bed, muttering about a headache. That was understandable as nearly everyone who'd encountered a dementor acted like that for some time afterwards.
Link shot him an icy glare, his long bangs falling in his face. His eyes glowed menacingly in the darkness.
Ron instantly buried his face in his pillow, mumbling a quick 'good night,' before pulling the covers over his head. 'Scary, scary, scary…weird glowy eyes…'
'What are you?' Harry thought numbly.
'Do you really want to know?'
Harry head snapped up.
'Who…? How is it that I can hear your voice in my mind?'
He glanced around the room several times before his eyes landed on Link. The teen sat calmly on his bed, his intent gaze never once leaving Harry.
'You're not Link…'The other boy gave him an approving look. At least…it looked like he was giving him an approving look; his eyes were less cold than before.
'Link's eyes don't glow like that…they're just…er…blank''Actually, if you look very closely, you can see the faintest outline of the teal colored iris within them. They're not completely white.'
'…Who are you?'
Link was about to reply when Ron asked, "…Are you people having a staring contest or something? Why are you two just looking at each other?" He was sitting up in the bed, looking from Link to Harry, then back to Link. He was very confused when Harry glared at him. "D-did I say something wrong?"
Harry just rolled his eyes and was going to press Link for an answer when he realized the other boy had apparently decided to go to sleep. He pouted, having failed to get any useful information out of him.
'Then again, he probably wouldn't have told me anything important anyways…It seems like Link always has something to hide from everyone…' Harry thought.
'You are so right…' was the sleepy reply.

Yami Bakura sat at a small table near the fireplace of the Ravenclaw common room. He flexed his stiff hand and muttered, "Note to self…Never write letters for Yugi again…ever…especially those regarding to the 'Dark Lord', Gannondork, and random monster that have managed to escape the Shadow Realm."
He rolled up the four-foot long scroll and summoned Harpie's Brother, a card his hikari had acquired sometime over the summer.
The tall, slim figure of appeared from the shadows that had momentarily engulfed the room. He landed lightly on his feet, his white eyes alert behind the mask and wary of his strange environment. With one clawed hand, he brushed his black, windswept hair back as he took in his surroundings. His long, narrow wings were folded up against his back.
His stared blankly at the scroll Yami Bakura had handed him, then cocked his head questioningly.
"Can you do me a favor and deliver this to Malik?" Yami Bakura asked, realizing the monster was confused as what to do with the letter.
"Oh!" Harpie's Brother nodded.
"Okay then!" Yami Bakura said, opening one of Hogwarts' larger windows for the monster.
Harpie's Brother crouched, spreading his crimson wings out to their fullest extent. He sprang into the air and with one sweep of his powerful wings, had soared out into the night.
Yami Bakura watched him disappear, and then turned around and headed for the boys dormitory. He noticed someone lurking by the girls' dormitory, but decided to ignore them, as he was more than eager to take and break to recover his strength.

Knock!
"ngh…who's there…?"
Knock!
"Wha…?"
The knocking persisted.
"Alright! I'm coming! Sheesh…4:15 am…no consideration…" Joey grumbled, stumbling out of his bed and getting tangled up in his covers. "I'll be right there! Gimme a sec…" The blond finally succeeded in untangling himself and opened the door.
"…? No one? …hmph…musta been something in my dream…" He muttered, slumping back down on his bed. He was about to fall asleep when the knocking started up again.
"Whaddaya want???"
He raised his head from the pillow and glared at the door, and then become conscious of the fact that the knocking was actually coming from the window. Joey stumbled out of bed again and opened his window.
"…" His groggy eyes widened in surprise.
Flump!
Harpie's Brother glanced disapprovingly at the unconscious form of the ground.
"I was going to ask you where Malik lives, but I guess that'll have to wait until tomorrow…"

A/N: I just realized…a lot of the fan fic seems to take place at night, when everyone is in bed. ^_^;;;; Weird…
BTW I don't know too much about Harpie's Brother so if anything I say about it makes no sense…well…now you know why. (Are his ears pointed? They look kinda pointed in the card…)
Sry about the short chapter! I needed to update so this super short chappie will have to do~
