Shinsei Unmei: Path of Light and Darkness

Chapter Ten: The Three Headed Dog

---------------------

On Sunday, everyone leaving for Christmas break was gone, having boarded the Hogwarts Express Saturday night. Looking around, Yugi would say that, besides a few fourth and fifth years, he, Marik and Harry were the only Gryffindors left.

Yugi got out of bed and changed into a fresh set of clothes, tossing on a new pair of robes. Lastly, he gingerly picked up the Sennen puzzle and put it over his neck, the Wedjat eye shining briefly. Looking over, Yugi almost burst into laughter, picking up his wand and putting it into his robes pocket.

"Marik?" he asked as he watched the Egyptian roll over in his sleep, clutching his Defense Against the Dark Arts book against his chest in his sleep.

"Hunh?" Marik grunted as he slowly opened his eyes, not having gotten to sleep until eleven o clock.

Yugi looked from the DADA book to Marik and the Egyptian understood. Marik growled and tossed the book onto the floor, muttering about "too much damned homework."

Yugi and Marik met Harry on his way out of the common room, and decided to head down to the great hall in a group.

"So, Harry... Did you get that DADA assignment down? The essay on the Curse of the Bogies lost me until I read chapter thirty, and that was only after Hermione suggested it." Yugi yawned as they headed down the stairs to the sixth floor.

Their conversation continued like this the entire way down to the great hall, occasionally switching to family talk.

When they entered the great hall, they saw a sight they, to say the least, hadn't expected.

Draco Malfoy was cowering in a corner, a ring of Slytherins trapping him between them and the wall.

Just then, Ryou came barreling into the hall, skidding to a stop only feet from the Slytherins.

"This is about to suck." Marik sighed, slipping his hand inside his robes.

A second later, Draco disappeared, leaving the Slytherins circled in a corner. Draco reappeared a second later, a scowl on his face.

"What the bloody hell are you buffoons staring at? Go screw your mother!" he cried, pushing his way through the throng of fourth and fifth years.

"He's back..." Yugi chimed under his breath, putting the pieces together. Obviously, Marik had just released Draco from the penalty of a Shadow game.

"Where the hell are professors when you need them?" Marik sighed, grabbing a piece of toast from the nearby Gryffindor table and stuffing it in his mouth. "Library." He muttered as he left in a rush, leaving a confused Yugi and undecided Harry in his wake.

Shrugging, Yugi also grabbed a piece of toast, jamming it in his mouth and chewing it quickly. "I gotta go see Dumbledore!" he called as he too left, off to find professor McGonagall or the headmaster, it didn't matter which he found.

Yugi had been wandering the castle for a few minutes when he ran into a locked door on the third floor.

"Alohomora" he muttered, pointing his wand at the lock.

'Yugi, I don't know... It was locked for a reason.' Yami no Yugi muttered cautiously, appearing translucently behind his light.

'Wuss.' Yugi muttered back, slipping through the open door and into the deserted corridor beyond.

A second later, Yugi wished he had followed the pharaoh's advice; the door was definitely locked for a reason. That reason was a three-headed dog standing right in front of the small boy...

Marik was just entering the library when he felt a tremor from inside his backpack, causing him to stop halfway through the door. Ducking off into a nearby lavatory, Marik locked himself inside one of the stalls, pulling off his black backpack and leaning on the stall door.

Yugi backed against the door to the corridor; the three headed dog advancing on the cowering first year, whose only method of escape was blocked.

'Yugi! Can you not defend yourself?' Yami no Yugi exclaimed from his soul room, their wand still in Yugi's hand.

'I'm only in first year! I can barely make things float! What am I supposed to do, levitate him away?!' Yugi cried in response, the realization hitting his dark half.

The Sennen puzzle flashed once and the Wedjat eye appeared on Yami no Yugi's forehead, the two Yugi's switching places.

Marik ran up the third floor corridor, the Sennen scale trembling harder in his right hand as he ran up each stone step. Marik had just turned down the main third floor corridor when a blinding white light engulfed the floor, blinding the Egyptian.

Yami no Yugi blinked as the light died away, revealing a disturbing scene.

Seto Kaiba was standing to Yami no Yugi's left, his features darkened and a smirk on his face. To Yami no Yugi's left, Harry Potter was smirking too, his eyes a deeper shade of green. Both boys were holding Sennen items in their hands, Seto the Sennen rod, and Harry the Sennen ankh.

What surprised Yami no Yugi the most though, was the door barreling open and knocking him to the floor, Marik and Yami no Bakura standing in the light.

"What the hell is this pharaoh?" Yami no Bakura bellowed, the Sennen items in the room ceasing their tremors.

"What have you boys done?" professor McGonagall gasped from the main third floor corridor, her wand ready in hand.

Before the boys had time to think, professors Dumbledore, Quirrell, Snape, and Flitwick arrived, all of whom stared behind them into the empty corridor.

"To my office boys... You have a lot of explaining to do." The headmaster frowned, turning and walking down the corridor.

The professors led them to a statue of a griffin, it's wings circled in to fit within the small alcove it was situated inside.

"Candy cane" professor McGonagall said dryly, and the statue sprang to life, rising up into the enclosing along with an ever-spiraling staircase.

'Yami, how are we going to get out of this one?' Yugi asked his dark half fearfully, following Yami no Seto into professor Dumbledore's office.

The professors stood behind Dumbledore's desk, the headmaster himself sitting in a large cushioned chair.

Yami no Seto and "Harry" stood behind Yami no Yugi near the door, Yami no Bakura and Marik standing farthest from the headmaster.

'Yugi, we may be in trouble.' Yami no Yugi joked as he noted the very serious expressions on all of the professors' faces, and regained his solemn demeanor.

"You either explain, or the ministry will be involved, and I guarantee you they are much less understanding." Professor Snape sneered, leering at the group behind the headmaster's back.

"Professor Snape, I refuse to fulfill your demands with so much darkness in your heart." Yami no Yugi replied sternly, staring the potions teacher in the eyes.

Apparently, this was not what Snape wanted to hear, and he replied with a few words civilized people rarely use.

"Is that any way to talk to a student Severus?" professor Dumbledore replied with a faint smile, clasping his hands on his desk.

'I will take him my pharaoh.' Yami no Seto said in Yugi's mind, appearing briefly between the two Yugis' soul rooms.

The next second, Yami no Seto and professor Snape disappeared in a pulse of shadow magic, a slight sneer on Yami no Bakura's face.

"Now would you care to explain Mr. Mutou?" professor Dumbledore asked, his bright eyes looking into Yugi's violet ones.

'It's like he can see into my soul.' Yugi commented, shivering in his soul room.

"Yes professor. I believe I can tell you all you need to know about the Sennen items."

A few minutes later, Yami no Yugi was finished retelling the events of the past few years, up to his acceptance of his light's invitation to Hogwarts. When he was done, he noticed an odd smile on professor Quirrell's face, almost as if the professor was piecing together a puzzle he had been working on for years.

Before Yami no Yugi could dwell on it, the smile faded, and professor Quirrell was his usual self.

"Well. I believe that is cleared up now. If you would be so kind as to return our potions master Mr. Mutou?" professor Dumbledore beamed, professor McGonagall just rolling her eyes.
