As for your other question Seto does know about his family but chooses in the orphanage to not tell Joey about it. Noah and Mokuba were raised together as Kaibas. Seto is the only one out of the boys that keeps his original last name. Other than that the only other last name that is changed is Mai's.

Okay, on friday I'm leaving for vacation with no computer, I'll try to get up a new part before then, If not I'll be gone for a week or two and have an update soon after I get back.

Gag! I'm really starting to hate divination. Téa sank down in her seat. Of course it didn't help that everytime the professor asked a question Mokuba, who was sitting next to her, would accidentally hit her in a hurry to raise his hand before the rest of his family.

Today they were trying to communicate with the spirits through some sort of chant. She looked over to another pair, Seto and Noah.

Seto was smirking and doing a decent job. Téa just shook her head. That could only mean Seth had taken over. It seemed every one had a spirit but her.

"Hey, you going to try it?" Mokuba looked over at Téa in earnest and she could tell he hated it as much as she did.

"Why do I need a crystal ball? If I wanted to talk to a spirit I could just ask Yugi, Sasuke, Joey, Seto..." she counted off all her friends that had yamis.

Finally the professor excused them. Téa sighed in relief as she gathered her books. She hoped the others were out of potions. All these brains made her really feel stupid.

Téa ran out of the classroom and was overjoyed to see all the rest of the gang waiting for her. She welcomed the hug from Tristan.

Seto gave Joey a friendly punch in the shoulder. "So how did class go?" Téa asked her sister.

Sasuke yawned a bit. "Same old, same old. Got a detention."

"Joey got a detention too and a girlfriend!" Yugi piped up as he shoved his way into the front. He stretched out the word 'girlfriend'.

"Did not!" Joey hit him on top of the head. "She hates my guts."

Seto perked up waiting for the story. No one noticed that Noah had already left, probably to study. Not that he really needed it.

"Hey! What's my best girl doing out here moping?" Joney looked up to see the shock of red hair then ran towards Charlie Weasley.

"Charlie! It's so good to see you."

He grinned widely touching Joney's wound gingerly. "I saw what happened." Charlie was a bit short and stocky which had given the couple a funny look. Joney remembered going to a dance together and Charlie had bewitched his shoes to float several inches off the ground to stand above his tall and willowy date. But he had grown so he stood a good inch and a half above her now.

Charlie's eyes showed a sudden enragement as he pulled Joney back down to the ground. "He better watch his hands. Why did you stand up for him? You couldn't like him, he's an Elemental!"

Joney looked over at him, the wind catching her hair. "I would have done the same for any of them Charlie. My father pushed it too far today."

Charlie just shook his head. "I don't trust these new kids. Dumbledore shouldn't have brought them here. And that Seto Granger is a loose cannon, you were there the day..."

Joney turned her gaze away. Yes, it had been early in her third year. She remembered the long sheet covered stretcher levitating past her and the rest of the students. There were several Aurors following closely behind a pair of dementors on either side of a young boy. He looked quite a bit different than the rest of his family, a mudblood. His hair was neatly brushed and the sapphire eyes were brimming over with tears. He walked, his shoulders slouched, on past all of them, knowing what fate awaited him.

"I remember."

"Don't get too close," Charlie brushed a lock of hair away, his finger traveling down her straight jaw line. "Nothing good can come from an Elemental."

"Come on Joey, you can at least try out." Joey sighed as he saw Harry's earnest looking face. Everyone was looking at him.

"Lemme get this straight Harry you want me to try out for some game where you fly on brooms and put balls through hoops?"

"Uh, yeah."

Joey pulled his nose up at the idea. The last thing he wanted to do was be up in the air. "No," he crossed his arms over his chest in defiance.

"Come on Joey, it'll be cool," Yugi said as he grinned widely. His eyes were wide and pleading.

"Fine! I would but I don't got a broom."

"Uh yeah, Noah told me to give this to you." Harry grinned as he held out a new broom. It was called the LightShot. Joey raised an eyebrow at the rest of them, felling like he had been duped.

"But you hate heights," Seto pointed out as soon as he heard about Joey's problem.

Joey just rolled his eyes and Seto let his jaw drop.

"You didn't tell them?" He asked his shorter friend, a bit bewildered.

"No, I didn't!" He snarled. Seto's sapphire eyes scanned the face of Joey.

"Why not?"

"I thought I could get out of it." He turned away, wrapping his fingers tighter around the handle of the broom. "I didn't have a broom so I said I would knowing I couldn't. Then Harry told me that he had talked to Noah about it. Noah had already purchased me one."

"You'll snap it in half if you squeeze it so hard," Seto said as he offered a small, shy smile.

"It would keep me from this stupid try out, wouldn't it!" He snapped. Seto tried to calm his friend but the glare he received silenced him. "I don't want to hear about it Seto." He turned around leaving his friend standing there.

Seto knelt down on the ground, putting his hand over the growing flame and drenching the grass beneath him.

"Be careful Joey."

"Good job!" Harry said as Joey blocked another Quaffle headed towards his direction. Joey was quite skilled for a first timer. The last Quaffle rolled across the grass and Harry called a break. He had been an easy choice for the new team captain.

Joey landed and as soon as he hit the ground he fell to his knees and clutched at his stomach.

"Hey Harry, he looks pretty sick," Fred pointed out. Harry noticed that Fred was right. Joey's entire body was shaking as he sounded like he was trying to cough up a furball. A few moments later Harry pulled his nose up at the smell of the substance on the ground and Joey was still going at it.

"Go get Doctor Berlines!" Harry yelled at Kathy, one of the three new chasers. Joey held up a hand to stop them once finally getting a chance to take a breath.

"It's okay, it'll pass. Just git airsick."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Harry yelled as he rested a hand on Joey's back.

"Didn't give me much of a chance. Yuge shoulda known." Kathy returned, brushing her long auburn hair out of her face.

"Okay, Tom! You're next!" Harry yelled at the next chaser. "Who's the next for try outs?"

George was staring at a short list. "Um, you aren't going to believe this one Harry."

Harry ran a hand through his hair as he sighed. He hated this, reassembling the entire team. "Just tell me," he sighed.

"Neville."

Harry looked at George like he was about ready to murder him. "If this is a joke George it's not a good one." George just smirked and Harry knew that this day wasn't near over.

Harry sighed as he put the final team list on the wall. All the wannabe keepers gathered around it, each elicited a groan in sadness.

"Hey Joey!" Elise, one of the Gryffindors that had tried out, sat down next to him. "Why don't you check out the list?"

"I'm sure I didn't make it," he gave a struggled smile.

Joey looked up as a pile of fabric and pads were dropped in front of him. "Suit up Joey, practice starts in an hour."

Joey glanced up at Harry and groaned.

"We train long and hard," Harry said, his face straight. "Two practices a day, one at five until class starts at nine and the next at six until ten."

Joey blinked his eyes as Tom offered him his hand. "Come one Joey! I'll show you the dressing room."

Joey sighed as he took the short blond's hand. His blue eyes danced in excitement.

Joey entered the dressing room, taking the new clothes in his hand. He peeled off his black robe and matching sweater and tie. The buttoned white collared shirt was next.

"I saw the posting," Seto's excited voice said. His eyes traced the well-known scars and blotches on Joey's back. He remembered how his friend had gotten most of them.

"Yeah, wonderful." Joey took the sweater and pulled it over his head. He put his shirts in a locker and removed his tennis shoes. His quick hands worked at the belt as he moved to grab his new uniform pants. He felt Seto's hand on his shoulder.

"At least try to enjoy this," he smiled.

Joey nodded as he tightened the pants and then moved to the boots. He sat down, strapping them on his feet. The pads followed and then the gloves. He tightened the last strap on his gloves and turned back towards Seto who handed him his Gryffindor Quidditch robes. Joey nodded, slipping them on then took the broom that Seto handed him.

He wrapped his taller friend in a hug. "I'll see you after practice."

"Yeah, if Harry hasn't killed me yet!" Joey quipped back as Seto slapped him over the head. The two friends laughed together.

"Ouch!" Joey felt the Bludger hit his shoulder. He felt the ripping of his shoulder. He lazily spun down onto the ground.

"What happened?"

"Got hit," he stepped off.

Kathy grinned as she said a spell. Joey moved his shoulder, grinning at the ease of it now.

"Cool," he grinned as he felt no pain. He looked like he thought it was the greatest thing ever. Harry glanced at his watch to see that it was past ten.

"Okay, practice over!"

Harry heard a chorus of 'thank yous'. Joey grabbed his broom and headed back up towards Hogwarts. Seto was waiting for him there, paging through a textbook.

"About time," he muttered.

"Yeah," Joey covered a yawn with his hand. "I think Harry would have kept us longer had George not fallen asleep on his broom."

Seto smirked and then Joey tackled him, bringing him down to the ground. "For a minute I was thinking you might actually have brains."

"Nah, yer imaginin things again." Joey reached down and began tickling the brunet that he had pinned down.

"Uncle!" Seto managed to yell between his fits of giggling as Joey got back to his feet, brushing himself off. Seto had yet to get off the floor as he looked back up at Joey. "You realize you're really just like family, right Joey?"

"Yeah, I do."

"I mean that," Seto got to his feet and placed a hand on Joey's shoulder. He noticed that the younger one's face looked worn and pale. "Go to bed."

Joey nodded as he headed down a hallway towards the Gryffindor common room.
