Authors note :: Heya. I Sorry I haven't updated in so long, I just kind of...didn't have any inspiration. I would have to force myself to write the next chapter, which wasn;t very fun, but now I want ot write it. So heres hoping this'll be a good chapter.
"Alright, Yugi...I'll place this card, Feral Imp, in defence mode."
"You're getting kind of desperate now, aren't you?"
"Not at all, it's all part of my strategy!"
Albus joked as himself and Yugi played Duel Monsters. Albus had quickly gotten the hang of the game but was losing miserably - Yugi had one thousand, five hundred life points life, while Albus had only two hundred. Yugi let a wide smirk crawl upon his face as he lay down a trap card.
"I'll play this - it removes all monsters you have on the field, which leaves me wide open to attack your life points...with this!"
Yugi lay a holographic card on the field - the Dark Magician, his personal favourite. With two thousand, five hundred attack points, it easily wiped out the rest of Albus' life points. Yugi leaned back in his chair, looking rather happy with himself.
"Albus, that was extremely good for your first duel. You just have to be prepared to lose some life points to play traps or magic cards. By the way, what was your strategy?"
Albus looked at the ceiling, defiently, "A good duelist doesn't reveal his strategies," he said, albeit cheekily, "Much like a wizard doesn't reveal his secrets."
Yugi smiled, looking at the unused Blue Eyes White Dragon Kaiba had given him long ago. He hadn't played Duel Monsters at all for a good few months now, a hobby he sincerely enjoyed to no ends. He glanced oer at the clock - twelve thirty. His class had started ten minutes ago.
"Oh my God! Uh, Albus, Gomen, gotta go, my lesson - I - cards -"
Albus just smiled his dreamy, mysterious smile.
"Yugi, I sincerely hope you don't mind, but I'm free for the next hour. Could I possibly study these cards? I promise I will not damage them, I just wish to study them, in hopes of...well, coming up with a strategy to beat you."
Yugi started at him for a second, but smiled hurridely, "Well, sure. Okay. I gotta go, uh, will you be in your office when my lessons over?"
"Of course. You can collect your cards then, if you wish."
"Thanks, Headmaster."
Without another word, Yugi rushed out into the hallway and towards his classroom which was on the third floor.
Albus looked at the cards. Blue Eyes White Dragon...what a beautiful card. He must've got it from Kaiba. And...
...By God, it can't be...shouldn't this...this was meant to be...
...The Winged Dragon of Ra...
...This will help greatly...
'Albus' pulled a wry smirk, one that would send shivers down anyones spine. He glanced up at his reflection in the mirror - his hair was turning brown again.
"Shit."
Yugi's lesson went well. None of the students seemed to mind that he was late, as he made it up to them greatly, by studying Hypolies, small pixie like creatures that could take on the form of Horses. He walked calmly upto the huge eagle statue that concealed Albus' office from view, and said the password.
"Chocolate Raisins."
The eagle began to spring from the floor, revealing a staircase. A short walk up said stairs led into Albus' office. Indeed, Albus was there, at his desk, the portraits gazing over his shoulder lazily as light poured in from one window.
Albus looked up, smiling contently.
"Good day, Yugi. How may I help you?"
Yugi cocked an eyebrow - he had forgotten already? Still, he was rather old.
"Proffesor, I came back for my cards. Did you figure out a good strategy?"
It was Albus' turn to cock his eyebrow.
"...Cards?"
Squall glanced around. He couldn't remember anything...what was he doing here? He only remembered coming out of his classroom before feeling his mind going numb...he must've passed out or something. But why would he do that?
And...
WHAT was he doing in these robes?!
Squall looked horrified at the clothes he was wearing. they were long and hug loose off his body - much like the clothes Albus wore. Squall suddenly jumped at the sound of footsteps approaching down the corridor. He initially apparated into his bedroom, where he found his normal clothes, much to his relief.
"My God, what...what just..."
This had to be a joke. It had to be.
"Professor, you said...I mean, my class, and then...wha...?"
"Yugi, I assure you I don't know what you are talking about. What cards do you speak of?"
Yugi dropped his books, "The Duel Monsters cards! We played a game, then you said I could come and collect them after my class, you said you wanted to figure out a good strategy!!"
Albus cocked his eyebrow again, this time somewhat annoyed, as if he tohught Yugi were lying.
...But I'm not...
"Well, I'll need some help."
Albus reached for his wand, held the tip to his mouth, and spoke into it:
"Would Severus please come to the headmasters office, please."
A few minutes later said professor entered through the door and into Albus' office. His hair was just as greasy, his smile just as twisted, and his face just as livid as it had ever been or ever would be. Albus didn't smile, only gestured towards an empty seat.
"Please sit, Severus. We have a little problem."
Squall finished changing into his clothes, hough he was still sweating uncontrollably. He ran a sweaty hand through his damp hair, and fell back onto his four poster bed.
"Perhaps I should take the rest of the day off...even if it is my fir-"
Squall never finished his thought - his mind went numb. He couldn't think...the only thing he could feel was pain, like someone else had just ripped his mind apart and was scouring through the pieces. He only knew one thing, and that was that he was screaming. He got onto his knees, gripping his hair and near to pulling it out in frustration and pain.
"GET...OUT OF...MY HEAD!"
His breathing became stunted. He fought to keep his mind to himself, but to no avail, as he felt a farmiliar presence enter his mind, pushing out his thoughts and memories. The last thing he knew was that, not of his own free will, he was throwing on the mysterious robes again.
"Now, Yugi. Severus is going to enter your mind briefly, to see if we can prove what you just said is true. It's not that I don't believe you...it is just that it is rather...worrying."
Yugi nodded in agreement. Severus looked rather fed up. He whipped out his wand and put it to Yugi's temple.
"Ready?" he asked, with a slight smirk.
"Just do it." Yugi answered, anxiously.
"Fine...Legilimens!"
When the last word exited Severus' mouth, he could see memories hidden deep within the corners of his mind suddenly come before him...The day he beat Pegasus...The day he met Yami...when he was travelling to Egypt...when he was duelling Dumbledore-
"Thats it!"
Yugi pulled away, falling on his rear, panting slightly. To his surprise, Severus offered him a hand - then again, they were in front of Dumbledore. He took it, and shakily got up. Severus turned to Albus, with a vacant face.
"Professor, it seems Mr Motou was telling the truth. He did indeed...'duel'...a Dumbledore."
Albus linked his fingers together, and his the lower half of his face behind them, in deep thought.
"...This is rather disturbing..."
Alright, sorry it took me so long to update. Uhh...hope this was an okay chapter
