Squall paced bervously at the front of his new classroom. It was a huge classroom, given as he was teaching a more advanced form of DADA, he figured he would need the most room as no doubt things would go flying from wall to wall. Strung to the ceiling through means of wires was a skeleton of a chinese dragon, which stretched from one side of the room to the other in a wave like pattern - it was certainly very beautiful.

Squall still had two minutes until his class...he paced faster until his pace became a short power walk...no, he couldn't be nervous...what was to be nervous about? It was only his first ever class, the one in which he would have to make a seriously good impression upon these students, the type of impression that said 'mess-around-in-my-class-and-you'll-be-out-of-Hogwarts-before-you-can-say-Expelliarmus'. One minute...he paced faster-

"Professor Leonhart?"

"Ahhwhosthehellisthat?!" Squall half-shouted - two Ravenclaw girls were peered around the door post, one giggling and the other surpressing a laugh.

"What is it?!"

The girls were slightly taken aback, "Well, uh, sir, it's our lesson with you now."

Squall swore to himself under his breath, "Shit. Uh, yes. Sit down, please."

As he walked to the front of the class, he overheard a Ravenclaw girl say in an almost inaudible whisper, "He's funny.....and kinda cute..." and the other reply with a "Umm-hmm".

Yugi twirled his spoon around the edge of his tea mug one more time. Another one for the road. Another. His class had left (and surprisingly, only one minor injury was sustained - a small bruise on the forehead to one Neville Longbottom), and he had free time until his next lesson, which was in an hour. He didn't feel like going back to the staffroom...only one other teacher had free time aswell - Severus. He felt it wasn't wise to be stuck in a room with him and try to make conversation.

"Yugi?"

Yugi lifted his head to the doorway. Albus was standing in it, wearing an amazing set of blue and silver robes, with a cloth wrapped cage under his arm.

"Oh, hello, Albus," Yugi said, inclining his head into a curt bow.

"Yugi, you've been looking rather...under the weather since you started teaching this morning. I can tell you're upset. Perhap's you'd like to get whatever it is off your chest, or...if it's personal matters, then I think I have something else that can cheer you up."

Yugi felt a huge gush of gratitude towards Albus - he felt he would have to keep all his pain locked away to himself, as he felt he couldn't share it with anyone.

"Well, it'll take a long time to say, but...if you wanna know..."

"Class, you may pack away. that was a very good first lesson, if a little boring. Let's see...I think twenty points to each house should do it."

The Ravenclaws and Gryffindors looked at eachother happily. They put their quills and books into their satchels, before exiting the classroom, save for one. A small with bushy hair and a learned look about her approached Squall afterwards, aloing with a red haired boy.

"Sir, can I just say...you're one of the best teachers we've ever had. I never knew all that stuff about Werewolves and Hinkypunks...they're more complex than I thought..."

Squall didn't quite know how to take this. He simply smirked and said, "Thanks, but you still have to do your homework tonight."

The girl laughed, as did the boy next to her.

"Shame you'll only be here for one year."

Squall gave her a confused look, "Sorry?"

"Well, really, I should be saying that to Professor Motou, but...all DADA teachers who teach here only last for a year before something happens to them...I mean, our first teacher was...well, he was evil, our second was a liar and a fraud, our third was a werewolf, and our fourth wasn't really the teacher."

"Well, just because they've screwed up doesn't mean I'm going to. Now go, I can't be responsible if your house loses points because you were late to your next lesson."

The girl giggled, and the boy just looked at her with a 'whats-so-funny' sort of gaze.

"...Fascinating...absolutely...fascinating....so, you're saying that you posessed a huge pyramid pendant that held a spirit within, so you housed another soul within yourself and you could switch minds at any given time?...Fascinating! It is a shame he had to leave, but a dead soul shouldn't remain in the world. I'm sure he would be happy where he is now. And, your friends back in Japan - how are they doing?"

Yugi felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his chest. He continued to recite his life upto the current time.

"Well, Joey's now an archaeologist, studying ancienct egyptians. He hopes to find something relating to Atemu. He reknowed worldwide, I'm so proud of him...Tristan's an artist, working with Industrial Illusions, thats the company who makes the Duel Monster cards, and get this, he actually runs it too! Tea works with children, but shes also a VERY well known duellist in Japan. Kaiba is still the owner of KaibaCorp, and he is still trying to make the worlds ultimate virtual reality game. He's come really far, now he's made this room, its about the size of this classroom, but press a button and it turns into a virtual world! It's amazing."

"And what of this Mokuba child you spoke of?"

"Oh, he's the vice-president of KaibaCorp. He also designs new software."

"And your grandfather?"

"Well, he still owns the game shop, but right now he's making renovations to it. He's letting Kaiba sell his software in there, but its huge stuff, so he needs to make the shop look more modern. He still gets most of his cash from selling Duel Monsters cards, though."

Albus still held an expression of deep amazement, "So, these Duel Monster cards...a muggle game?"

"More or less."

Yugi jumped as the cage rattled slightly and make a noise like a small lizard would...

"It sounds like an amazing game. Do you think, perhaps....you could teach me how to play?"

Yugi was awed. Albus Dumbledore, the greatest sorcerer in the world, was asking him how to play Duel Monsters?

"Well, uhm, okay. Okay, heres my deck. I'll split it in half...now, see these ones? These are monster cards, you means of attacking...these are traps cards, you can use these to attack you opponent too, in a way. These are magics cards, which can power up your monsters, the basic rule is the person who loses all their life points first is the loser. Uhm, if you want, I could duel you...it would make alot more sense while battling."

"Oh, yes! Please!"

Yugi had to stifle his laughter. This was going to be very interesting.
