Chapter 5
"Um…hello," Yugi said, "Come in, there's plenty of room in here."
Draco looked up and saw Harry and company in the doorway. He looked away as Harry caught his gaze.
"Okay what is going on here and why is he with you guys," Ron demanded.
"Ron-san calm down," Yugi started, "He is here by his choice. I don't care what his past was about, but I do know that we need to put aside our petty differences in times of peril."
"I don't care. He's a bloody git that doesn't need any type of compassion from any one, just a swift kick to the ass," Ron ranted.
"Ron…" Hermione began setting her hand on his shoulder.
Ron brushed her aside before wheeling on the young teen, "If he is staying then I'm not. I do not feel the need to stay in the presence of trash as his kind stands for."
"My kind?!" Draco said becoming enraged, "What do you mean, my kind."
"I mean deatheaters, scum, murderers…you're kind," Ron said snidely, "Isn't your daddy one of them? Which make you one as well, a traitor."
Draco walked up to Ron, surprisingly calm, but then he hit him with his fist to Ron's jaw, "What would you know about my life. As far as it seems you have the best life out there. A loving family, good friends, and great respect earned from everyone. Me I have nothing."
Ron stared at the Slytherin teen as if he grew another head, but then snorted, "Oh I get it, play the part of the poor worthless boy. I'm outta here."
"Ron wait," Hermione said.
"Stay here if you want, but I have better things to do then listen to the Slytherin brat's sob stories," Ron said storming out of the compartment.
"Draco," Harry began.
"Just go. I don't need or want your sympathy, just your understanding and forgiveness for how I acted," Draco said, "What I said is true. My father disowned me so now I have a small amount of money and that's it."
"I'll go talk to him and try to calm him down. I'll see you at the school," Hermione said, "Good-luck guys at the sorting."
"Bye Hermione," Ryou said from his seat by Sai.
Hermione gave Draco a quick hug before running out of the compartment to find Ron. Draco sat back down trying to reign in his wayward emotions. Sai let off a 'whoop' of triumph as Ryou groaned in defeat. Yugi saw the girl's laughing eyes as she continued to celebrate her win.
"So how close of a duel was it anyways?" Malik asked the girl.
"Oh within two hundred life points and one destiny board piece," Sai said, "Thank you Ryou for that invigorating duel."
"Your welcome," Ryou said.
"Okay you two spill, what is this sorting ceremony about," Malik said.
Before he could answer the compartment door opened once again. Two burly looking males stood behind a petit one as they glared at the group, but Draco most of all. The pale teen suddenly looked afraid of these three boys. He coward down into his seat trying to escape the stony glare. The petite teen had dark, dirty blond hair and cold, harsh hazel eyes, and was carrying an arrogant air about him.
"Ah Draco, I see that you found friends to match you're new stature in life, poor and worthless," the boy said, "Father warned us what would happen to traitors. So here's a warning, watch your back."
With that he left the compartment to go torture other students. Draco looked like he was going to be sick at the thought of the warning.
"Who was that?" Ryou asked politely.
"My baby brother Propheus," Draco said, "He's a first year this year and it seems my ex-father has sent him to take care of his mistake. He was originally supposed to attend Durmstrungs."
"Don't worry about it. We'll get through this," Yugi said suddenly cheery.
"Oh no everyone back slowly away from Yugi-boy," Malik said, "He's about to go into super-hyper sugar high mode."
Yugi just rolled his eyes before turning to the current Hogwarts students, "So explain what the sorting ceremony is about."
"Yes, please do," came Sai's reply.
"Okay," Harry said.
Soon Harry and Draco launched into an explanation about the hat and the different houses and everything else that happened at Hogwarts. When the talking had finally wound down, Yugi and Ryou were talking about what classes they would take. Malik was found snoring from the overhead luggage rack, Sai was reading a book on past pharaoh's, and Harry and Draco were dueling. Soon the train slowed to a stop and the now changed students, except for Sai and Malik, got off the train. Yugi continued to wear his Egyptian cloak to hide his tri-colored hair. The group saw Ron and Hermione by the carriages. Hagrid waved to Harry before turning his attention to the first years gathered by him. Mokuba could be seen bouncing next to a bored looking Seto.
"Hey guys I think exchange student's should go over there," Harry motioned to where Hagrid stood.
"Okay. See you at the feast," Sai said following the others to Hagrid.
"Alright, three to four per boat," Hagrid said.
Ryou, Malik, and Sai got into one boat while Yugi, Mokuba, and Kaiba got into another. Soon they were gliding across the smooth lake surface. The castle came into view and the six new student's were in awe at the enormity of it. When the boats docked, Hagrid led the students to the front doors where a stern witch waited for them. She nodded to Hagrid before leading the group to wait outside the Great Hall doors.
"Now those of you who are exchange students, you shall be sorted after the first years. So please wait until I come for you," Professor McGonagall said, "Now follow me."
The Great Hall doors opened to show four long tables in the center where the student's sat with their respective housemates. Mokuba wanted to stay with Kaiba, but he pushed him to follow the other first years. McGonagall led the scared students to where a tattered hat lay waiting on a sole stool at the front of the Great Hall. When Mokuba saw Harry he waved briefly before waiting with the rest of the first years. Soon the hat began to sing and when it finished the hall erupted in applause. McGonagall took out a list and read off the names.
"Alvin, Ian," McGonagall said and the red headed boy sat on the stool.
The hat took a moment before shouting out, "HUFFLEPUFF!"
McGonagal read the list and came to two final names, "Malfoy, Propheus."
The dark blond sat on the stool with a knowing smirk as the hat shouted out, "SLYTHERIN!"
As the boy sat down McGonagall called off the last name, "Kaiba, Mokuba."
Mokuba shyly went to the stool and waited for the hat's decision, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Mokuba quickly ran to where Harry sat. Ron and Hermione sat at the other end of the table. Hermione gave the boy a thumbs up before turning her attention to where Dumbledore now stood.
"Now before we begin to eat I would like to announce that we have five exchange student's to begin with the fifth years this year," he told the school body, "Now please wait until they have been sorted."
McGonagall led the older teens to where the hat waited. She pulled out a second list and prepared to read it out.
"Bakura, Ryou," she said.
Ryou sat down on the stool and the Hat was placed on his head, 'So I see you have a good mind and soul, extra cautious at times, but you feel incomplete sometimes as well.'
'I do not know what you mean,' Ryou responded.
'Look here you annoying piece of clothe, keep you Ra-damned nose out of my other's mind,' Bakura snarled.
'Ah another mind. How interesting. A little rude, but… hmm… you seem to have a tendency to get into trouble,' the hat said, 'I know where you shall be placed.' "SLYTHERIN!"
Ryou got off the stool and went to sit by Draco so he wasn't alone. McGonagall read off the next name from the list.
"Ishtar, Malik," McGonagall said as he sat on the chair and the hat was placed on.
'Hmm…another interesting mind. You strive to repent for past crimes and you have a need to prove yourself to your sister, but most of all yourself,' the hat told Malik.
'Would you shut the hell up and sort us already,' Marik yelled from his soul room.
'My, my another rude soul,' the hat said.
Malik stayed silent thinking about his said past crimes when the hat shouted, "SLYTHERIN!"
Malik walked to where Draco and Ryou sat, still deep in thought over what happened during Battle City.
McGonagall read off the next name, "Kaiba, Seto."
The CEO strode up to the chair and sat down and the hat shouted out, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Seto stood and went to sit next to his brother and the only two left to sort were Yugi and Sai.
"Khalil, Saikuma," McGonagall said as Sai walked up to the stool.
The hat's voice rang through her mind, 'So you have a hidden secret. Especially from your younger brother. I see a strong and courageous heart. Even a knack for getting into trouble.'
'Please do not delve any further into my soul, just sort me. I do not want my brother to find out just yet who I am,' Sai pleaded with the hat.
'Very well, I think…' "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted.
Sai slowly walked over to the table and sat next to the young Kaiba sibling who began talking about what the school year will be like.
"Motou, Yugi," McGonagall said as Yugi walked up to the stool.
'Another with two minds, but I sense nobility and mystery from one mind. The soul of a Pharaoh,' The hat began, 'One is a soul of innocence, another of darkness. But you both would do anything to protect your friends, even your enemy. If need be even give your life.'
'Yes I feel every soul deserves a second chance at life, just as I gave Yami,' Yugi told the hat.
'Even giving our lives to accomplish it,' Yami finished.
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted.
Yugi went to where the others sat and finally took the hood down on his cloak. A few of the Gryffindors near Yugi began asking where he had his hair done. The teen tried his best to ignore them, especially two girls who introduced themselves as Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. Soon Dumbledore stood and got the attention of the students."
"Welcome back students. Now a few start of term announcements. First Mr. Filch has stated that the list of forbidden items is now at 544 items including screamer bells and invisible inkpots. For a complete list you can view it in his office. And as usual the Forbidden Forest is just that forbidden to all those don't wish to die a slow and painful death," Dumbledore took a breath, "Now this year we have three new teachers to announce. First Professor Michaels will be teaching Defense Against Dark Arts."
A petite witch in brightly colored robes stood and waved to the students. She looked to be in her twenties and possibly American. She had her bronze colored hair hung loosely about her shoulders and her ruby eyes sparkled in warmth. As she sat down the doors to the Great Hall banged open and a woman in a white Egyptian gown, headdress, veil, circlet, and jewelry walked in. She quickly walked to the teachers table and uttered an apology to the headmaster. Malik just hid his face in his arms that were crossed on the table. Ryou chuckled at this as Draco watched confused.
"Ah now one of our other teachers has arrived. I would like to introduce our Ancient Egyptian History teacher, Professor Ishtar," Dumbledore said, "Now our last professor has asked to not be introduced, but rather surprise his classes tomorrow. Now tuck in."
As Dumbledore waved his hands, food began appearing at the tables. Yugi looked amazed at all the wonderful treats and dishes available. Draco pondered how to ask the worried Malik what his relationship to Professor Ishtar is. A fifth year Slytherin girl sat down next to Draco.
"Hiya," she said.
"Hello," Ryou responded, "I'm Ryou Bakura. He's Draco Malfoy and the almost catatonic Egyptian is Malik Ishtar."
"I'm Nikita Mioshii, but you can call me Nikki," Nikki said.
"Hold it, why are you speaking to us. I mean we are outcasts apparently," Draco said.
"So what. So am I because I am an American," Nikki said, "Anyways… Malik how do you know Professor Ishtar?"
Malik looked at the girl, "She's my sister."
"Your sister, but she's in her twenties and you are…" Nikki began, "How old are you anyways?"
"Seventeen," Malik responded, "And I know, but I was born late. Shouldn't even be here tell you the truth."
"Oh sorry, I lost my mom as well at an early age," Nikki said sympathizing with him as well, "But cheer up. Here try this."
She handed him a burger with the works minus bacon. Malik took it without realizing what he was accepting. Ryou saw this and spoke up.
"Um… Nikki he's a veg…" at that point Malik saw what he was eating.
"Ahh… meat. Take it away," he screamed.
"Cool your jets man. It's a veggie burger. No meat products allowed. You see I'm a vegetarian as well. No meat products to grace these lips in ages," she told him.
Malik looked awed and continued to eat the veggie burger plus a large Greek salad Draco found for him. The students continued gorging themselves until Dumbledore bid them good-night and the prefects led them to their respective common rooms. Yugi found himself in a room with four beds. Soon Harry and Kaiba came into the room. Ron was the last to enter in. He gave Yugi and Harry a nasty glare before stalking off to his bed. The room soon became quiet as all the boys went to bed.
