(lilo: hi! how's everybody doing? Hope you guys are having a 'fun' summer vocation or whatever it is you are doing. Mine's boring! Anyways, can you plzzzzz tell me the three unforgivable curses along with the spells? I reeeally need that, but I don't have the fourth book. I know it is weird, but I have 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th. I borrowed 4th one in the library that time. Anyyyyywayyys, thanx for the reviews! ^_^ (I moved to a new house so that's why it took me sometime to update (getting my internet working again and all)
Marikue: oh, and Harry doesn't split with the gang in the actual series, but book 6 isn't here yet, so I kinda made it up that Harry and his friends split in their 6th year. Now they are in their 7th year. ^_^
Lilo: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and Harry Potter. (and I almost spelled Marikue like Miroku 0_0)
~The Black Hole~
"Morning Tom" professor McGonagall said as they entered Leaky Cauldron. The bar tented waved to their direction and they came over.
"Long time no see!" the bar tented shook McGonagall's hand. "Business only?" he asked in his usual tone.
"Yes" McGonagall replied, not liking the idea of standing in a bar. She wanted to move on and be done with it. The she notice that Bakura slowly moved up and set down on a stool.
"Do you have beer?" he asked the bar tender who slowly inched his stare to Bakura's direction.
"Yes, and if you do, make that four or five …. If professor drinks of course" Yami pushed Harry slightly towards another stool, as he and Marik simply jumped onto the table without being hesitant. McGonagall's eyes went wide (a/n O_______O) and she began to protest.
"There will be NO underage drinking, young man!" she exclaimed in panic. Who would want to be with four drunken teenagers? How could they possibly be so rude? And what scared her most was that Harry seemed to like them. She remembered talking to Dumbledore once after Harry went home in his 5th grade, and he told her that they must keep his as far away from dangerous and/or unstable people as possible. Now McGonagall was looking at three teenagers who didn't care, as if they ruled the world, and having those 'mood swings' of theirs didn't help either.
"Says who?" Bakura shot back at McGonagall.
"Says me!" McGonagall exclaimed, the blood in her veins began to boil even harder.
"Don't listen to her, Tom, and bring us beer, or something that is like that at least…." Marik said. Harry thought that Marik just tired to look cool with his hands folded behind his back and requesting beer in a world that he did not know and was powerless against.
"Yes master. Beer it is" Tom said in a monotone and there was something else to his voice, something much deeper. Bartender's eyes were like glass and emotionless as he bent down and lifted up five bottles. "Free of charge" he said and walked right out. Harry stared at his retreating back with wonder and then to the drinks he gave them. By the bottle, Harry realized that it was Butter Beer, a completely alcohol-free drink.
"What in the seven hells?" McGonagall stared at Marik, who shrugged while the other two, Yami and Bakura, shook their heads in disgust and gave Marik dirty looks.
"Why 'master' huh? Didn't get enough of it with GHOULS?" Bakura asked with a smirk.
"Nope, I didn't." Marik answered and took his Butter Beer. He then began to examine it carefully. After a couple of seconds, he shook it in front of Harry's face to see and said, "What the fuck is this?" his face showed total disgust. "This isn't beer!"
Harry shook his head. "No, it isn't, it is called Butter Beer. It is alcohol-free" He watched in amazement as Yami and Bakura burst laughing. But it wasn't the laugh that was carefree and cheerful, it was cold. Harry's blood froze in his veins as the two continued laughing and then Marik as well. Harry noticed that the inn became dead quiet. Nobody moved except the three and Harry, who started laughing as well. Harry could hear it with his own ears that his laugh was no better. It was cold, harsh and a bit screechy. With that he stopped, memories of the graveyard passed in front of his eyes, Cedric dead on the ground, The Cup next to him, The snake, Wormtail, everything. He realized that he hadn't laughed for a year and now, his laugh was something like Bakura's. Cold.
"Now, now Marik" Yami straightened is face even though Bakura fell off the stool and was now holding his stomach. "You shouldn't be mad at the poor man! He brought you Butter Beer!" with that Yami fell into another fit of laughter. Harry simply smiled.
"How did….?" McGonagall trailed off. May be Tom decided to joke around a bit? May be he thought it would be funny to give them Butter beers since they requested beer and just walk off? Maybe it was true, but why did he call master? It didn't make any sense. Tom would never call anybody his master, even if Voldemort would be requesting to do so or death, Tom would choose death. And why did Bakura asked if Marik wasn't getting enough something? ghouls, she knew she heard it somewhere, but she wasn't sure. However, she made a mental note to talk to Dumbledore about everything that had happened today.
" well, to answer your question, professor," Marik still had that look on his face that told that he was disgusted even after laughing for so long. "I have no idea how this happened! You see, one minute I was asking for Beer, and the next I get some sweeten drink or something"
"Well, it does have a beer part to it." Yami said again and then took a sip from his. After a moment his smile grew wide and he looked at the others. "OH! Mannnnnnn! This is better than beer!"
"hmmmmm" Bakura looked unconvinced but tried it anyways. In a split second, he drank the whole entire thing and then smiled like a little kid.
"Kura?" Marik and Yami said in union, being afraid of the fact that Bakura 'smiled', which was soooooo not like him. He only smiled when he killed, but now, he was smiling because of some drink.
"If you don't want yours, give it to me!" Bakura said, hands inching towards Mairk's butter beer, arms outstretched.
" no way!" Marik screamed, and drunk the whole entire thing with one gulp before Bakura could snatch it away from him. Suddenly, Marik's eyes glowed slightly, and he jumped off the table. "so THIS is where Isis was buying that!!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhh, I can't wait to tell her that this isn't her secret anymore!" he started jumping around professor McGonagall, singing " I found out, I found out". McGonagall's expression turned from being concerned to being shocked and then to being seriously scared. Again, everybody in their group found this very funny and began laughing again. Harry was laughing along with them. He didn't care that McGonagall had fear in her eyes when she was looking at him, he didn't care that they were the only people talking or laughing in the inn at all. All the cared about was the fact that he was happy.
"Let's go" McGonagall said quietly. Her mouth turned into a thin line and there was fear in her eyes. Harry obeyed her order, though the other three reluctantly stood up and Marik quit jumping and singing in his case. They slowly walked up to the wall, still holding their sides. It was very difficult to keep a strait face, and Harry realized that he never laughed so hard, never in his whole entire life. They now came to the barrier and McGonagall just stood there, starring at the wall in her own thoughts.
"so, if we stare at the wall and say what we want, it can give it to us?" Bakura asked sarcastically, being impatient as he usually was and looking at McGonagall who finally snapped out of her little trance.
"Of course not!" she exclaimed irritably and tapped the right bricks. The wall sprang to the side, revealing a very busy street. There were also a lot of ministry officials, who would pass now and then. It was the new rule, so that some might stand a chance of fighting a bit before they could die if Death Eaters would appear. Everything changed since the day that Sirius died and the day prophesy was smashed. Every wizard was tense and afraid now. It wasn't safe to walk around the streets at all. Harry wasn't afraid of anything anymore, and in his eyes, life lost its point. They were now slowly walking to Gringotts to change or with draw money in Harry's case.
At the entrance to Gringotts, they were greeted with two goblins blocking their pass.
"the evil surrounds the three. You possess the presence from the past" he said in a high pitched voice.
"wait here until we return." Said the other, and with that they walked through the door. Harry, from the corner of his eyes, noticed that the three exchanged worried looks and then Marik passes something to Yami, who, shockingly, looked gentle and carefree, his usually serious expression gone. For Harry, it was like looking at the whole new person. 'Maybe it had something to do with the goblins?' Harry thought, and to check if he wasn't dreaming up the whole entire thing, he looked at Bakura, who, to his shock had a gentle expression on his face. His eyes held none of the malice they had held before and their voices became squeaky. Marik was the only one who was unaffected by that change. Before Harry could confirm anything, a Ministry wizard appeared along with the goblins. It was Percy. He looked like i-am-too-serius-and-too-good-to-be-here self. Harry knew perfectly that he still hadn't made up with his family and never talked to them at all.
"Harry Potter?" he asked.
"Percy, we don't have time for this!" McGonagall exclaimed.
"the presence is gone" one of the Goblins said and the door opened.
"what?" McGonagall asked. Harry himself wanted to know the same. Maybe they thought that Voldemort was close? Pushing that thought aside he and the others went in after they got a very sharp and rude 'nothing' from the goblins. Then, Out of the corner of his eyes, Harry noticed that Yami(a/nYugi) passed something back to Marik. Now Harry and McGonagall went together to get Harry's money while the other three were to stay in line and wait for their turn to change the muggle money to wizard's money. They did that split because it was 12 o'clock and according to McGonagall they were running late.
When Harry and McGonagall turned around the corner, Yugi turned to Marik and asked, "why is he calling me Yami? I mean ….. "
"that's your nickname from now on!" Marik said, annoyed by the fact that he had to wait in line.
"aw." was Yugi's reply.
"Well, I guess that I will go as Bakura then?" Ryou asked gently.
"that's right" Marik said, his brow twitching.
"double 'aw'" Ryou joked, but it seem to draw the last straw out of Marik.
"CAN"T YOU MOVE ANY FASTER?" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Everyone in the bank turned to look at the group of three.
"I want to change my money right NOW! I don't want to WAIT for it! And I am EXTREMLY busy and ANNOYED!" Marik roared.
"you will wait in line or you wont get to change your money at all." said a goblin that was standing nearby.
"Marik, doooooon't" Yugi whined. He didn't want to get into trouble, and all they would have to do to escape it was to wait a few misely minutes.
"Don't 'don't' me Yugi!" Marik barked back and reached for his millennium rod. A flash of light occurred and all the people who were standing in front of them moved aside.
"go" was all that they said. Marik moved to the front of the counter with Ryou and Yugi trailing behind him. The Goblin at the counter backed away a bit, but then stopped. Yugi reached for the bad that Isis gave Yami before, and dumped it on top of the counter. In a flash, the bag disappeared and the other one appeared. Yugi took the bag, thanked the Goblin and he and Bakura had to practically drag Marik away. After that Marik withdrew his mind control form the people around him and they went back to what they were doing though Goblins were very shaky and kept on glancing towards the three.
"Fast and easy" was all that Marik could say. Yugi and Ryou sweat dropped. Marik, being annoyed with the two, began talking again. "why the fuck did you come out?" he addressed it to the other two, without realizing that Harry and McGonagall were standing behind him. "let yami and kura out! You are booring! Why did you have to create that stupid policy?" he demanded.
"what policy?" McGonagall asked curiously as Marik almost jumped out of his skin.
"the one where Yami and Bakura have to be nice from 12 to 6pm. The punishment for breaking it will be a day of staying with Isis." Marik said in a hurry. It was partly true. The yamis had to stay in their soul rooms from 12 to 6, unless the abou called them out to take control, then they would have an extended day. As for Isis, it was the only thing that Marik could come up with for a punishment though in reality there was no punishment. McGonagall bought that story and moved on, but Harry still looked suspiciously at the three of them. The change was too big to not to notice it.
Suddenly, there was darkness everywhere, and then there was a whooshing sound and a green skull appeared.
"Oh NO!" McGonagall panicked, shoving Harry and the rest into the entrance of Knock Turn Alley. "Stay HERE!" she screamed and started running into the direction the skull appeared in. Actually, everyone or almost everyone was running in the direction, wands ready, but Harry knew that the skull was a distraction and that the real threat was going to arrive soon enough. There was silence after she was gone, and Harry tried to figure out who was killed this time. It was quite fun to read the newspaper and look at the lists of those who died. He secretly hoped it was Malfoy, but that couldn't happen because Malfoy's father managed to escape Azkaban a couple of weeks ago with the other criminals because Dementors were out of control of the Ministry now and under control of Voldemort. Just like Dumbledore said.
"what's with her?" Marik broke the silence. The three were puzzled.
"Feh, she is scared of the Dark Mark" Harry said with a smile.
"Dark Mark?" Yugi asked with fear. At first he thought that it was Bakura, but the tomb robber was locked in his soul room for now and the look that Ryou was giving him confirmed that Bakura was sleeping.
"Ya, that's what Voldemort's followers do when they kill somebody" Harry answered. Suddenly, he felt despair, as if the soul itself was sucked out of him. "they are here" he said in a hoarse whisper before falling on his knees. There were a lot of them.
"who?" Marik asked, not understanding why the boy in front of him fell to his knees but then noticed that yugi and ryou collapsed as well.
"dementors " Harry said, and sure enough, somewhere around three hundred of them were now gliding towards them. The wizards who tried to stop them got kissed. Cornelius Fudge appeared next to Harry along with McGonagall, shocked.
"another attack!" he screamed but was rooted to the spot.
"run, they came for me" Harry told the three.
/yami, help me/ yugi pleaded and fainted. Ryou did the same. In a blink of an eye, Bakura and Yami were towering tall over Harry along with Marik.
"No, we will help you, just like we did a couple of days ago" Yami said while Bakura kneeled on the ground next to Harry, lifting him up to a standing position while other wizards were laying with their faces on the floor.
"wha…. " was all that Harry could say, but he felt as if the dementors were no longer there, when Bakura touched him. The three weren't affected at all. And what did Yami mean by helping Harry? He didn't even have a wand to begin with. Another thing that confused Harry was what he said. Just like we did a couple of days ago. What did he mean by that? and now, trying to think back, Harry met a black space in his memory. 'What?' Harry mentally thought, while Yami walked forward.
"go" Yami commanded to the Dementors. However, the things didn't listen to him. One started to gain speed, preparing to kiss Yami and suddenly darkness covered everything and after a second the sky cleared. Harry opened his eyes and saw Yami standing where he was, hands in his pockets.
"Go Pharaoh! Lets send everybody to hell!" Marik cheered.
"I warned them! I told them to go away!" Yami whined suddenly, looking back at Harry.
"how?" Harry mumbled, looking at his friend.
"Black Hole" Bakura murmured into Harry's ear and elbowed him. Only now did Harry notice the minister of Magic pointing his wand at him.
"Harry Potter, you violated the law of underage wizardry once AGAIN! You will be expelled from Hogwarts for good!" the minister cheered.
"he did not do anything." Yami's cold voice broke through.
"check my wand!" Harry screamed in panic. He didn't want to be expelled. Who would?
"with pleasure!" Cornelius said snatching the wand from Harry. Muttering a spell, he watched as the wand replayed the spell it did before, like a reverse. To his astonishment, it was a repairing spell, which Harry used in the end of the year to repair his glasses once again.
"innocent" Harry snatched his wand away from the minister, hater in his eyes.
"That's right Cornelius" McGonagall now appeared next to Harry. "find somebody else to blame your mistakes on" with that he mentioned the four boys to follow her, which they did. Of course before Bakura gave the minister a death glare, under which, Fudge shivered.
"what did they do?" Marik asked in a fake wonderment.
"I don't know! It was so amazing! Those dreadful things just vanished!" Yami exclaimed with innocence.
"who…what were those?" Bakura asked in a shaky voice that was like Ryou's when he was afraid. Bakura was perfect at acting.
"those were dementors, and I don't want to talk about them right now. You can ask Haryr later." McGonagall said, still walking at an astonishing pace to Ollivanders
Yami noticed that McGonagall and Harry were shaky, though he didn't understand what was so dreadful about those monsters. He thought that they looked something like the monster that Bakura had in his deck, he just couldn't remember the name. while he was thinking of all the things that happened so far, they stoped in front of a dusty window and an ancient door. Suddenly, McGonagall turned and looked his straight in the eye.
"I don't know about the power you possess, but it's defiantly not what you want me to know and/or believe" with that she entered, Harry closely behind her, still in a shock from the dementors' attack.
"we have to be careful" bakura said.
"triple careful" yami said and entered the shop without a back glance.
When the other two entered and shut the door, they looked around that place. There were high shelves full of tiny boxes and a chair in the corner on which McGonagall sat. Harry was standing near the dirty window, arms folded and looking at the three. Suddenly a man appeared at the counter.
" hello! " he said in a misty voice. The there didn't move. They were slightly staring at the boxes. "come closer, don't be afraid!" Mr. Ollivander said mistily, mentioning for them to move closer. Yami took a step forward and the shelves started shaking badly. McGonagall looked shocked for a second and then there was an explosion. When the dust was cleared Harry saw Yami standing where he was standing before, one hand outstretched, holding a wand carefully. The rest of the wands were laying everywhere, including on top of Mr. Ollivander. Then, Yami waved the wand he was holding, saying an ancient spell at the same time and a gold box appeared. The wand that yami was holding turned into a golden key.
"don't tell me that it is what I think it is from your father's tomb!" Bakura practically yelled.
"Unbelievable" mr. Ollivander exclaimed from under the pile of wands. Marik and Bakura moved to stand behind Yami. The wands in their way sprang away, as if the two would attack them any moment. Harry stared in awe as Yami opened the box, revealing seven long, golden staffs.
"IT IS! hmpf! I tried so badly to open that stupid chest in your father's tomb!" Bakura said trying to sound offended. Marik, on the other hand, examined the long staffs carefully.
"these were carried by priests and the pharaoh himself, only those who possessed the power of items." Yami said, taking the one in the middle. At Yami's touch, it shrunk to a normal wand size and he waved it. Harry had to shield his eyes with his hand because of the light but when he removed his hand, he tried not to gasp. The roof of Olivanders as gone and there, in the skies was a gigantic dragon. It's golden skin shined brightly but there was no sun. It was as if the Dragon itself was the sun. Its great wings were spread and there was this eerie blue something shining from its forehead. With another swing of wings it disappeared, along with the bright light. McGonagall stayed there, jaws dropped to the floor. The same with mr. Ollivander. McGonagall, however, was searching in her brain for anything that resembled the creature she saw just now. Harry himself felt weird, but at peace. He had never seen anything as magnificent as that dragon and knew that Hagrid would flip if he got hold of one of those.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra." Marik broke the silence.
"ohhhh, so that's how they did it!" Bakura exclaimed and Yami nodded. Marik looked dumb folded for a second, but that was before Bakura took another staff from the box. Harry saw the same shrinking process but then, instead of light, everything turned dark. Looking up at the sky, Harry saw nothing but darkness until there was a shape forming there in the dark. This time Harry did gasp. There was another dragon-like creature. Its wings were made of dark black leather, and it had a human's chest and arms. Instead of legs there was a snake's head which hissed before the creature vanished with the darkness. Some may not know it, but what that snake said was "death" and Harry understood perfectly. He looked at Bakura whose face turned into a scary sight.
"Diabound of Darkness and Death" Yami murmured. "don't want to see him again"
Bakura chuckled." Remember your last encounter with my precious pet?"
"like it was yesterday" yami replied with a smile.
"the greeting is 'death' but I think that you should at least teach him to say 'hello' Bakura!" marik sneered at that.
"wonder which is mine!" Marik exclaimed, taking another staff. When he lifted it from the box and the chest suddenly disappeared, and the staff that Marik was holding shrunk as well, before a three headed dragon appeared in the air. Harry stared at the creature which brought cold. Its blue skin shined in the light and its mouth opened giving a piercing roar it vanished just like the others.
"That's not mine, that's Seto's" Marik whined.
"you hold the rod, which belonged to Seth" Yami answered with a simple shrug.
"Diabound is sooooo my type" Bakura almost sang.
"riiiiiiiiiiiiiight" yami said sarcastically. "it was you who used it against Slyfer and defeated the other god"
"I know" Bakura said happily.
"but Ra kicked his ass" Yami cut in.
"damn you!" Bakura yelled and hit yami on the head with his wand.
"now, now, stop being childish!" Marik said.
"you were the one who lost with Ra and Slyfer!" Bakura yelled.
"no one can kick Yami's ass." Marik bit back.
Yami sweat dropped.
"who ….. what … were those creatures?" McGonagall stuttered
"Demons of ancient past. Please do not ask us more" Marik finished. His mood changed drastically. They let out too much.
Mr. Ollivander quietly took the money and kicked them out of his shop. The sight of Diabound seems to affect him somehow. Now they were walking quietly to the bookshop where they got all of the books that they needed and turned to Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions. Harry got a new robe along with the other three. The silence was still there. After half an hour they walked out of there carrying a bunch of bags and other things like cauldrons and books. The three also got "Best way to Curse Your Enemy' spell book without McGonagall knowing it. That book was actually Harry's dream, but he never got around to get one. The day seem to pass by in silence, and now they were standing in front of their houses, saying goognights to each other and entering. McGonagall went by her own business the instance she dropped them off which left Harry all alone.
When Harry entered his house he dropped everything that he got in the doorway and went to the kitchen where his aunt and uncle were having a dinner along with his cousin. When Harry banged the door open with his leg all of the attention was turned to him and the knife that Dudley was holding fell out of his fat hands and onto the floor. His aunt and uncle's jaws were dropped to the ground and they were looking at him in awe.
"what the DEVIL did you do to your clothes?" Uncle Vernon roared. " I will NOT allow you to eat at our table if you will be wearing it!"
" go to hell" Was Harry's reply and he did something he never did before. He walked to the fridge, took a can of pepsi and walked straight out of the kitchen. He could hear his Uncle roaring about behaviors but he didn't really care. His uncle was afraid of him, and Harry guessed that his sudden appearance in his baggy and now cut clothes drained out the fear but Harry didn't care. He didn't care at all. He was now laying on his bed and sipping his treat while thinking about everything that had happened today. The way the three boys behaved, their changes of attitude and the fact that they, without knowing or having a wand managed to summon something that was called 'black hole'. What was it anyways? He had no idea but he made a mental note not to ask them directly because they seem to be touchy about that topic by the way they behaved after that. and the creatures that came out of their wands .. the way that their wands appeared ….. he didn't know what to think anymore but all he knew is that he, Harry, felt like he finally had somebody who understood him, who didn't care about his powers or his popularity. With that thought Harry went to sleep, of course before saying a silent prayer for Sirius to return.
(Lilo: DONE! I moved to a new house and I finally got my internet back today! Yayay! I decided that for this story there will be longer chapters….. oh, and also, once again, I am begging you to give me the three unforgivable curses along with the spells! Pllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssseeee!
Mirokue: Diabound is cool! Lilo looooves that thing. Anyways, R&R! thanks ^_^)
