(Lilo: hello! I am updating every Saturday from now on! It's cool, isn't it? Ya, and the school started again (-___-) but I actually am pretty happy because now I will be able to have a timetable of all of my actions. Summer time is good by everything goes down the drain with it. Heehee, oh and did I mention that math is the best? I am not! ^____^. Anyways, I won't hold you up with the story anymore, like someone read these author notes anyways.

Marikue: Lilo doesn't own YU-Gi-Oh or Harry Potter)

~Mind Control~

Before 12 am, Yami and Bakura left, saying that they had promised Isis to go shopping with her. Actually, it was Yami who promised Isis to go with her and Bakura just came along, obviously not wanting Ryou to panic when he learns about the Dursleys and then bring Isis a full report after which they would be busted for a very, very long time. In other words, yamis were creating themselves an alibi while Marik and Harry were watching TV with terrified and now fully conscious Dursleys who were huddling together in the corner.

"I am bored" Harry whined, having his upper body on the floor and his legs on the couch. It was a very awkward position, to tell the truth, but he didn't care at all of what other people thought of him.

"You are not the only one" Marik said, yawning after his statement as if to confirm his point.

"Don't you have that hypnotizing power or something?" Harry asked, suddenly getting a very, very evil idea once he took a look at his beefy cousin.

"So?" Marik asked, wondering if it would be wise to tell Harry that he had a millennium rod that controlled other's minds.

"well," Harry said, taking another glance in Dudleys direction." Have you ever seen a person strip?" Harry asked with a playful tone. Now they could have some fun if only Marik would agree…

"what are you getting at?" Marik asked with a raised eyebrow. He had never made people strip before but a mental note to tell his followers that the punishment will be striping in the middle of a very busy street in broad daylight was made.

 "well, how about a free show?" Harry asked.

"what do you mean?" Marik asked, totally bewildered.

"If you could hypnotize my cousin while I will get some music on, we could have a lot of fun…" Harry trailed off at that, looking at now completely petrified Dursleys who heard every word he had said for Harry didn't try to lower his voice, it was all but fun to watch their terrified faces looking up from the floor at his direction.

' So this is how Voldemort feels before he kills someone' Harry thought to himself 'to think, me and him are so alike at some points….. the only reason that is keeping me from joining him now are my parents and … the way Sirius died. It was Voldemort's fault and for that I hate him. Maybe then I was afraid of him but if I knew that Sirius would die and I would've had a choice, I woul-' Harry was jerked out of his train of thoughts by Marik who was waving his hand in front of Harry's face.

"anybody home?" he asked.

"huh?" Harry asked, not sure of how long he had been spacing out. It always freaked his friends out but he didn't give a damn now. He thought that Marik would freak out as well but to his astonishment all Marik did was shrug and look at Dudley.

"so, which song do you want it to be?" Marik said casually as if it was a matter of a very important something.

"uh, which one do you want it to be?" Harry asked, not truly believing his ears. We are going to make Dudley strip!  Were the only thoughts that kept running through his head.

"hm, how about "I Hate Everything About You"?" Marik asked.

" damn right!" Haary replied. It was the perfect song in some way. Harry did hate Dudlay for everything but if he could decide the matter of life or death for his cousin, he would give him life, not knowing why. May be he just got used to the blunt teenager/whale? Or maybe he was going soft, maybe Dudley did deserved to die.

"do you have it recorded?" Marik asked looking around the living room until his gaze feel onto a gigantic boom box which Dudley got as a birthday present from his parents a couple of days ago.

"Ya, I'll get it from my room" Harry rose to his feet and walked out of the living room and up the stairs to his temporary bedroom. There was no need of telling the Dursleys how he got the CD which was a simple task of levitating it under the invisibility spell from the nearby music store. If Dursleys knew, they would be livid but they couldn't do a thing about it, the same applied to the ministry of magic. Everyone wanted to stay alive and Harry used it to his advantage to gain what he needed, even if it meant breaking the rule of 'no magic outside of Hogwarts" it was a dumb rule, really, and Harry did not like rules therefore he simply didn't follow them.

"So, did you get it?" Marik asked as he saw Harry enter the living room, carrying something that looked like a CD in his right hand. Haary's eyes widened because he was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't realize it when he entered his room and used the summoning spell to finds the CD from his room for it was a mess and without magic he deeply doubted that he would be able to find the CD in the pile after 10 hours of non-stop searching but being a wizard made your life way simpler and the CD was in his hand in a mere second. Harry didn't even realize that he already came down the stairs from his room until Marik asked him something that brought him back to reality.

"ya" Harry said after processing what Marik had asked him. Spacing out wasn't good! He was forced to think more to be able to answer a question if someone asked him one while he was visiting the la la land.

"all right" Marik said, putting his hands in front of him and faking a consecration. In truth, Marik learned to control other people without holding his beloved rod in his hands. All he had to do was to have the rod touch his body in some way to manipulate a simple-minded brat. Some minds were stronger than the others and if Marik couldn't control someone without gripping the rod for extra power he did the only other obvious thing, grip the rod! (a/n: I am being sarcastic here)

"you don't have to fake you know." Harry said with a smirk. He knew that Marik would never, never concentrate no matter what was standing on the line.

"fine" Marik dropped his act and smirked. This Harry kid was good.

"wow" was all that Harry could say as Dudley rose from the ground, not shaking or showing any signs of fear other than his eyes. They were big with realization that he had no control what-so-ever over his very own body. Harry also had a suspicion that his aunt and uncle were under control as well for their bodies stopped shaking but they didn't move an inch from where they were seated. Their eyes were wide and there was great amount of fear radiating from those eyes which held so much hater just a second ago. From that he could only draw one conclusion: Marik was powerful and he knew what he was doing

"so, shall we take this outside?" Marik sneered. It freaked Harry out a bit because for a minute there he thought that Marik might have met Draco Malfoy and was being best buddy buddies with him but he erased that thought after a realization hit him. Malfoy couldn't muster a sneer like Marik's, it was priceless. Malfoy would pay millions for such.

"sure….. do we have to go outside as well?" Harry asked. He didn't like the idea of exiting the house with the oh-so famous murderer. People might start to panic which was probably most likely to happen.  

"nah, we could watch from the window" Marik said as Dudley began to make his way towards the door with his parents following closely behind.

"good luck Dudley!" Harry yelled jokingly after his cousin's retreating form. Suddenly, aunt Petunia fell onto the floor with a thump and didn't get up. Uncle Vernon followed her after two more steps. It looked very weird but all that Marik did was give a rasp laughter which slowly involved into a slight chuckle.

"what happened?" Harry asked, amused. It's not everyday that you see your aunt and uncle fall cold onto the living room floor a couple of times in one day.

"they fainted and I removed my control from them … what's the point if they won't remember anything?" Marik asked.

Harry simply shrugged and inserted the CD into the boom box, finding the right song and turning the volume up until the knob wouldn't budge anymore. It was quiet as Harry took the remote from the table that belonged to the boom box and came to the window, closely followed by Marik. He watched as Dudley stopped walking in the middle of the street and was getting a few weird looks from the neighbors who were out of their houses enjoying the peacefulness of this warm summer day.

"blast it off" Marik commanded and Harry press 'play'.

He thought that he was going to be deaf for the rest of his LIFE! Harry clapped his hands over his head as Marik did exactly the SAME thing! That seemed to help a bit and Harry watched as all of the neighbors jumped ten feet off the ground, their faces in complete shock. Harry knew now, when they say that it was a very loud thing, they meant it!  He was sure that even if he, Harry was standing five blocks from the place where he was standing now, he would still be able to clearly hear the words of the song, let alone think that it was a tad bit loud! However, Marik suddenly summoned something void-like around them but it was simply in some parts of the room and ….. well, lets just say that Harry was now able to remove his hands from his ears.

"wha?" Harry asked Marik who was sending him a death glare.

"you never said it was THAT loud!" Marik exclaimed.

"sorry" Harry said sheepishly. At that Marik opened his mouth once again to say something very incoherent but Harry elbowed him in the ribs and pointed to the direction where his cousin was standing in, motionless.

"oh" Marik said, then smirk when the realization of what Harry had said drowned in. Harry watched with amazement as Dudley started to dance. The moves that he was making were out of question if he was in control of his body and Harry was 100% sure that Dudley won't be able to move for a while after those tricks that he was performing now, if not paralyzed completely after doing those splits and back flips. Harry laughed at the shocked faces of the neighbors when Dudley started to slowly take of his shirt while doing a rocking motion with his hips.

"You know" Marik began in a very sarcastic tone, "You cousin is a pro! I should get his autograph after this!" with that, both boys who were standing in front of the window doubled up with laughter at their own weirdness. During their fits of laughter, the song was slowly coming to an end and Dudley had already taken off his shirt and his jeans. The neighbors were frozen on the spot, not able to hear anything but they seemed to be in some form of shock, whispering under their breath things like 'Isn't that Dudley?' , ' I always knew that he was a spoiled kid' , 'Dursley's son! To scoop that low….' , 'Smeltings is a school for kids who need help, the rumors were true'. All in all, the thoughts of the neighbors weren't very nice. Inside of Dudley's mind, Marik was laughing like a maniac while keeping Dudley sub-conscious, showing Dudley how badly he was embarrassing himself. After this, Dudley would definitely need a doctor's appointment.

The song was coming to an end when there was a bang and a couple of ministry wizards appeared.

" oh no…" Harry whispered under his breath. If they were caught, which was most likely, they would be probably killed since there was no Azkaban anymore and/or expelled, which Harry didn't want. Sure he didn't want to go to school but now that he sort of had friends who he 'liked', he was maybe even looking forward to the beginning of this school year for a couple of hours, but now, he and Marik were probably going to get executed on the spot for torturing the Muggles and such.

"what's wrong?" Marik asked after seeing a shocked and scared expression on Harry's face when those people appeared, who were probably the ministry wizards as Marik assumed.

"everything" Harry replied.

(this chaqpter is shorter than the previous couple but still! If I would've continued, then it would have been twice as long. Sorry, but since there won't be any gaps in my updating I sometimes might not be able to make gigantic chapter but then you wouldn't have to wait another two weeks or something like that! I might even update earlier but that depends… anyways, have a great school year! I am hoping that I will have one as well ^_~

Marikue: R&R please!)
