Okay! Last update before I leave! Enjoy!


Joey collapsed on one of the couches in the Gryffindor common room, still wearing his Quidditch uniform. The rest of the team wasn't far behind him in this.

"Joey, you better get changed. You have detention tonight." Joey groaned as he was reminded. He had forgotten all about detention.

Joey sighed as he stumbled off the couch. He didn't really feel like moving. Joey hurried to the boy dormitories and changed into some more comfortable clothes. Once he had done so he hurried out of the common room, meeting with Sir Habagold, the groundskeeper of the school. He glanced around to see Sasuke, Mai, and Joney already waiting there.

"Well kiddo, glad you found time to join us for detention. I know how painful it must be to take time in your busy schedule. However the rest of your schoolmates managed to make it on time." He smirked defiantly at Joey. He had decided it would be best not to argue with the staff.

"Wonderful evening isn't it, Muggle," Joney muttered, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Joey was laughing and then he caught the glare. "Love the accent, but Ryou does a better one." She blinked, looking slightly confused.

"I do not have an accent, you do."

"No, I ain't got no accent!" Joey yelled and he saw a small smile.

Sasuke rolled her eyes as Joney covered her mouth to hide a smile. Sir Habagold cleared his throat and walked off towards a narrow pit.

"This leads to the plumbing sewers of our new building."

"For being so new it sure looks ancient to me," Joey snorted.

"The original Hogwarts was created over a thousand years ago. This castle was built to replicate it."

Sasuke was giggling as Joey continued making comments.

"Well, the sewers have been clogged and we need to clear it. No one is quite sure what's doing it."

"What?" Mai gapped as Joney raised a single dark eyebrow over her green eyes. Every single move of the black-haired girl reminded Joey of that jerk potions master that gave him the detention in the first place.

Mai was still complaining as Joney slid into the dark pit. The scummy water splashed up around her. Joey and Sasuke were right behind her.

"Do you actually expect a lady like me to walk through that?"

"Lady? Whatever," Joney muttered as she stepped forward through the knee-deep muck. "Illuminus," she whispered and the tip of her wand began glowing.

Sir Habagold was muttering something under his breath as Joey and Sasuke stood there talking. Sasuke soon began laughing uncontrollably.

"Detention isn't supposed to be enjoyable!"

Joney heard a yelp as Sir Habagold fell and was dragged under. "Sir Habagold!" Joney glanced around frantic. Her hand fell under the water, searching. She didn't see her old rival reach down and hit her hard.

"Bloody hell," Joney hissed. "You made me drop my wand!"

Joney felt across the ground, rubbing her hand against it as she searched for something.

"There's a hole here!"

Joney went under the water, disappearing from sight. Sasuke wasn't far behind her, dragging Joey along with.


"Where did they go?" Sasuke broke through the surface as she looked around. Joey and Joney were missing.

"Oh, man, guys can be such jerks sometimes!" Sasuke glanced around and pulled her nose up at the smell.

Sasuke squealed as she saw a little slug on the wall.

You are such a chicken. Sasuke growled as she heard the taunting voice of her Yami. Her Yami had once been the Pharaoh's daughter.

"Shut up!"

Take a look at your necklace. Sasuke looked confused then she whacked herself in the head. She remembered the Millennium Necklace that was always around her neck. It was glowing brightly as she concentrated, opening the vision before her.

"Our new school must be closed." Dumbledore was saying.

"Why?" A young girl asked.

"The child of 'you know who' remains here. This is a danger we cannot afford."


Sasuke blinked her eyes as the vision cleared. She hoped it was from the past because things weren't looking good.


"Keep up," Joney snarled as she stepped into a small pipe. It was dark and she couldn't see a thing. She had gladly found her wand but there was oil in the pipe. If she didn't watch it things were going to turn out badly. The last thing she wanted was for that to happen.

"Whatever."

Joney flattened down to her stomach, pulling herself through the pipe. It took a while for them to make it out. Before them was a huge slug, its body wrapped around Sir Habagold.

"Help," his voice struggled to say.

"I guess that's why the drains were clogged." Joey commented. Sir Habagold was going to die if they didn't do anything.

Joney swallowed hard as she pointed her wand at the giant slug and swallowed hard, pronouncing the words carefully. "Avada Kedavra!"

There was a green flash of light and the giant slug rolled over and fell dead. Sir Habagold crawled out, shaking. Joney said another word and the slug burned in a moment in a blue fire.

Sir Habagold's eyes widened. "That, that, that was the killing curse."

Joey covered his mouth to try not to gape. It wasn't quite working.


Joey dropped onto the couch in the Gryffindor common room. He stank from the sewer but he didn't have the energy to actually get up and take a bath.

"You wreak Joey!" Ron said from his seat.

"What makes you think that?" Joey rolled his eyes as Mutt padded over to him. The puppy was getting larger every day.

Ron sighed and tossed a towel at him. "Get changed. I can't sleep and I don't want to have to smell you all night. Joey caught it and stumbled off the couch and into the bathroom. He returned several minutes later wearing a pair of loose sleep pants and an old t-shirt. Ron yawned as he curled up in his thick robe.

"It must be strange being around all these people suddenly," Ron said as he eyed Joey.

"Not really, I grew up in da orphanage till I was ten. After that I was always wit Seto."

"Always?" Ron echoed incredulously.

"Yah, nights got cold in the alley so we slept curled up together." He shrugged his shoulders then saw Ron's look. "It was just to keep warm and that would be gross! Seto's like a brother to me." He glared at Ron who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, must still be strange."

"What's your family like?" Joey asked suddenly curious.

"Well, I'm the second youngest in a family of seven kids. We used to have eight but the one a tiny bit older than me died or something."

Joey just raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, he was like just nine months older than me and younger than Fred and George. Mum said he had some bloody, whacked out abilities. Said he got himself killed because of them. He was an odd ball; he was, well according to Bill. Didn't know him myself. Disappeared when I was nothing but a baby."

Joey eyed him closely. It would fit right in with the time that he had been sent to the orphanage.

"Yeah, his name was Jo-something." Ron looked thoughtful for a moment as he tried to remember. "Oh yeah, that was it, Joseph."

Joey's face paled significantly.

"Hey Joey? You okay?"

"Yeah," he smiled slightly. "I'm fine."


Yugi sighed as he sat in History of Egyptian Magic. Joey was sitting next to him, glancing over the conspicuously empty seat on the other side of the room. He wasn't paying attention to the strange lack of Anubis until Seto spoke out of turn and five points were taken from Ravenclaw.

"Ah!" Joey swiveled around to see Seto clutching at his chest in pain.

The professor was shaking as Joey stumbled to his feet to wrap his arms around his friend. "It hurts," he hissed, still struggling with the pain.

"Seto, you need to fight it. Don't let the shadows win," He hissed, shaking the brunet.

The sapphire eyes locked on brown as Seto felt the pain eyes away. "What was that?" He whispered.

Yugi was the one that answered as his eyes fell on the darkening sky. "It's a shadow game."

"A what?" Ron gawked at Yugi, joined by the stares of Harry and Hermione. Fred and George were smirking. Tristan glanced at Duke and Serenity, all three of them looking scared.

"Feels just like the old days, huh Joey, Yugi?" Sasuke said as she smirked.

"Sure," Joey muttered. He reached into the bag beside him and took out his Millennium Item.

Anubis?

I tried to stop them!

I doubt that.
Joey straightened up, glancing towards the sky. It was growing darker with each passing second.

Mokuba looked down at his textbook, the wind whipping the pages, letting it drop to a page. The title of the topic stared boldly at him. Mokuba covered his mouth and gasped at it.

"The Shadow Games," Mokuba whispered, reading the title.


What was I thinking? Using that curse. I can't believe I did that. Joney let her head drop onto the grass of the hill. I used it, used the killing curse. I'm not any better than him. I never killed before. Sure I curse a lot of people but I've never killed. I was never evil, never! Even if I was the oldest daughter of Severus Snape those that mattered trusted me. I was loyal to my father and Dumbledore. My loyalty to Dumbledore has landed me in Azkaban on more than one occasion.

Joney sighed, shaking her head to try to clear it. For the first time ever she had skipped class. She needed time away. It's a good thing it wasn't back at Hogwarts but she knew she was going to hear about it.

Joney narrowed her eyes, as the sky grew dark. "What is going on?"
