Shinsei Unmei: Path of Light and Darkness

Chapter Eleven: Christmas

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

Author Note: I guess this is a Q/A... Maybe it's just the product of my idiotic imagination... You never know.

Supremehyren- You're an idiot.

Nachzes-Black Rider- I think Kaiba's one of the cooler guys around. Seto is the descendant of High Priest Set(o) so he has magical lineage. Also, he's needed for my story to work. He's also one of the main guys in the series and I just couldn't see Jounouchi at Hogwarts.

InsaneFuzieBunny- I think I fixed that now. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yokokaru-Chan- Okay.

Artemis- Thanks, I like reviews.

MistressofBakura- Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

Ryuuhikari- THANK YOU! I couldn't find that anywhere! I spent forever trying to find the translation or the original... Yami no Yugi: coughObsessioncough

Curtis Zidane Ziraa- I know Yami no Seto isn't all bad, but what would you be like if you were stuck in the Sennen rod for a thousand years and the last thing you could remember was-woops, almost gave something away.

Kjcl rules- Thank you. Well, Draco was the focus of the first part of the story, but Snape gets a little nosy and Christmas and let's just say he gets what he deserves... Thanks for helping me notice though, I wasn't really paying attention.

Caitlin Corbett-xx Thank you for reviewing every chapter. It really helps my review count go whoosh. Lol, Dumbledore's memory charm is explained later, it wasn't a big deal at the time. (Seto had his erased later)

One Hundred Percent Milkman- xx; I cannot believe your sn. Oh well, yeah, I called Kaiba Seto. I only use "Kaiba" when someone's pissed so hm... Seto was being "influenced" by Yami no Seto, even though Yami no Seto was like half way around the world. (Does that even make sense?) I hope this is unexpected...bumbumbum...

Anyway... This is going to be wrapped up soon; chapter fifteen (not post fifteen) is my cutoff. Guess that means Christmas is here!

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

The next day, Yami no Yugi revisited professor Dumbledore's office, chuckling slightly at the password that brought the stone griffin to life.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Yami no Yugi called as he entered the headmaster's office, taking the time to look around at the marvelous and intriguing objects scattered throughout the space.

As he was looking at a silver chest that was the size of his head (minus hair), the same beautiful bird that had flown in upon his last arrival did so again, landing on Yami no Yugi's shoulder with ease.

"Hello Fawkes... Do you know where the headmaster is?" Yami no Yugi asked, hearing the door click open behind him.

"Ah! Mr. Mutou, I presume you have come to see me?" professor Dumbledore said no louder than a whisper as he entered the room, his phoenix flying over to rest on his cluttered desk as he sat down.

"Er... No professor, but my other half has." Yami no Yugi returned as the Sennen puzzle flashed once, signaling the switch from dark to light.

"Professor... I was wondering... Since er... Most of the Gryffindors have left for vacation, if Seto and Ryou could stay with us over break." Yugi stammered, fingering the Sennen puzzle nervously.

After a moment of thought, professor Dumbledore looked into the foreign boy's eyes and smiled.

"I don't see why not."

That night, Ryou, Marik, Harry, Ron, and Yugi were sitting in armchairs around the fire. Yugi and Marik were just finishing a friendly duel when a loud commotion was heard outside, and the fat lady's portrait was pounded upon.

"Let me in you pig!" a familiar voice boomed, causing Yugi and Ryou to chuckle. "Seto's here..." they chimed, the former getting up to open the portrait.

Yugi pushed it open effortlessly, finding the Japanese boy with his wand in hand. "Bout time." He muttered as he walked into the common room, getting awkward looks from what Gryffindors were left, but an icy glare took care of those.

Wednesday was Christmas, and Hogwarts was treated to a sudden blizzard, covering the grounds with inches of white fluff.

"Get up Harry! You've got to open your presents!" Yugi exclaimed, picking up his wand as he slung on his robes.

"Huh?" Harry replied groggily, "I have presents?" he added in a brighter tone, instantly awake.

"Of course idiot, wad you expect, a lump of coal?" Marik joked, tossing a pillow at the English boy.

It didn't take very long for the group of first years to take their presents down to the common room, dumping them all in one large free for all pile.

Yugi took over the job of handing out the gifts, giving out his first. Harry was ecstatic over his, a starter deck and five booster packs, and he could barely wait to start playing.

That ended up being everyone's gift from Yugi, but five more boosters replaced the starter deck in the three who already knew how to play.

"Here's mine." Ryou exclaimed, tossing the parcels to the others one by one. His contained spell books in the subject of their strength, Yugi's being transfiguration.

Seto gave out his gifts next: 25 booster packs apiece, a duel disk 3 (Ron and Harry), and invitations to his next tournament during the following summer. By this time, Harry was nearly drooling in ecstasy (not the drug you dolt). He had never gotten any presents in his life!

"Here's mine. They're not much compared to the others." Marik frowned, handing out hastily wrapped packages.

"Marik! These are awesome!" Yugi exclaimed, gesturing to the carefully chosen cards that would fit in each of their individual decks (Harry and Ron's were just strong ones).

After they were done unwrapping presents, the group (minus Ron [sick]) went outside, making teams for a snowball fight.

They came in an hour later, dripping wet and freezing, huddling by the fire in the common room for warmth.

"S-S-s-so cold." Marik sniffed, rubbing his hands together for warmth. Marik plopped down in an armchair, Ryou's backpack next to him.

"Oy, Marik! Can you throw me my wand from my backpack?" Ryou called from across the room, staring intently at the chessboard between himself and Ron.

Marik stuffed his hand into the bag and his hand grazed across a spherical object, and Marik's world disappeared before his eyes...

Marik appeared in a dimly lit, Egyptian style room, similar to his own back in Egypt.

"Hello?" he called, opening a door that lead into a nondescript corridor.

Across from him was a tightly sealed door covered with ivy, which served as more than decoration. Marik immediately recognized the corridor and backed up, walking back into his soul room.

A second later, Marik opened his eyes and pulled the Sennen eye out of Ryou's bag, pocketing it before tossing his English friend what he had asked for.

A/N: Now that you've read, review.

A/N: School starts August 11. I hope to have this story finished by then in case I get behind and don't update. Remember, I'm ending the story no matter what at post sixteen: chapter five, which means only four more chapters to go. I'll try to make the next one extra long. (Review responses were done as of: 10:00 a.m. 7/26/04.) Now, review! –ArchSaugim.
