Destiny of Ancient Magic

By Violet Blossoms

Thank you so much for the reviews! You guys are the best. So, like I promised, here's the second chapter of this intriguing story. Oh, from now on, I'm gonna refer the yamis as Yami Yugi, Yami Bakura, and Yami Marik, and Ryou as Bakura and Malik as Marik, k? One more thing, the setting of the story is during year 5. But I'm gonna write to a style of my own, though some of the stuff that was used in the book I'll keep.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Harry Potter. *Cries*

Warning: This has light yaoi, or shounen-ai , so if you don't like this kind of stuff, then please click back 'cause I don't want anyone to send me emails yelling at me for writing this.

Chapter Two: To Diagon Alley

Yugi sat on the couch of the living room floor of the game shop, nervously wringing his hand with anxiety. Part of him wanted to leave for this magic school but the other part was screaming at him that he was crazy for saying yes, and that wasn't Yami saying that.

Sugoroku sat opposite of his grandson, watching the way Yugi twisted his hands painfully. Yugi did not seem to notice it, rather lost in thought, seeming to debate on whether or not to go.

"Yugi, are you alright?" he asked, leaning forward slightly with a hint of concern in his aged lavender eyes.

Yugi looked up from the floor. "Hai, Jii-chan," was all he said.

Sugoroku frowned slightly. "Listen Yugi, if you don't want to go, then you don't have to."

"No no, Jii-chan, it's not that. I do want to go," Yugi said quickly, shaking his head.

Sugoroku opened his mouth once more to ask why when suddenly, a loud booming sound on the door shook the entire game shop, rattling the windows and causing some of the glass utensils to shatter on the floor. Yugi stood up and tried to get to the door the best he can while Sugoroku stayed in the lazy chair, clutching the armrest of the chair for support. Yami Yugi called out to Yugi from the back of his mind.

//Aibou, what in Ra's name is going on?//

/I don't know!/ Yugi cried back, as he struggled to get to the door before he fell flat on his face. But before he could do that, the main door of their domain was knocked down to the floor to reveal a rather large man filling up the doorway. He had to be about 7'11. He had loads of shaggy brown hair on his head and face and he wore a shaggy brown trench coat with multiple pockets with a pink umbrella in is left hand.

"Um hello? Who are you?" Yugi asked shakily in Japanese, his knees threatening to collapse on him.

Hagrid looked down at Yugi from his great height. Odd-looking lad he was. Multi-colored hair done in a spiky fashion as black as a moonless night tipped in cherry red with sun-gold bangs framing his soft cherubic face. Wide violet eyes adorn that face of his with skin as light as the glow from the moon. The boy was on the short end of the scale, probably reaching only to 4'9. He dressed funny also, wearing mainly black. Black leather pants, a black shirt without sleeves and multiple belts on the front, black boots and with a black belt around his neck and many accessory like dark blue and gold bracelets and armbands.

"Err, what did yeh say, lad?" Hagrid asked in English.

"Gomen, err I mean, sorry. Um, I asked who are you and why..." he drifted off as he stared at the door on the floor. Hagrid scratched his beard in embarrassment.

"Sorry fer teh door thin'." He bent down and picked up the door, placing it back into the doorframe. "Me name's Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Ground at Hogwarts and also the Care of Magical Creatures Professor. Well, now that's out of the way, are yeh Yugi Motou?"

Yugi nodded gulping slightly.

Hagrid smiled warmly down at him. "So let's get goin' then, eh?" He bent down to pick up Yugi's stuff and headed out the door. Yugi turned to his grandfather. Sugoroku smiled at him from the living room.

"Well, Yugi, have fun and remember to write to me when you get there, ne?"

"Hai, Jii-chan, I will. Bye!" He said as he bounded out the door of his home, which he won't see again until next summer. Sighing he followed the large man out of the house. "So Hagrid, where are we going? To England?"

"Yup, but firs' must be offta pick up another new student," Hagrid explained as he led the way.

'Hm, I wonder who else is going to Hogwarts?'

//I have a feeling that the Tomb Robber and Grave Keeper with also be there// Yami Yugi observed.

/What makes you say that, Yami?/

//Well, you where chosen to go to this Hogwart place thing because you, or we, give off magical energies, right?//

/Well, yeah but.../

//Think about it. They said that you were a late starter. They might of just noticed it now and decided to let you in. Our magical powers come from our items, so then if they originated from there, then I'm sure the other Millennium items will give off the same aura, right?//

/But.../

//Oh come on, Koibito, you know I'm right// Yami Yugi said in triumph, mentally nudging Yugi's mind for emphasis.

Yugi sighed. /Fine, I'll give you credit for that//

He could feel his yami chuckling from the back of his mind. He visibly rolled his eyes and continued to follow Hagrid down a familiar path. 'Guess Yami was right. Looks like Bakura and the Tomb Robber will be joining us.'

"Well, here we are," Hagrid announced. Yup, it was Bakura's house alright. Hagrid set down Yugi's stuff. He then stepped up to the porch of Bakura's house and began to pound of the door like he did with Yugi's door.

Yugi could barely hear over Hagrid's knocking a flow of curses in Egyptian coming from the house. There was a brief shuffle and then the door opened to reveal Bakura standing there, looking harassed. He looked up. "Uh, can I help I?" he squeaked.

Hagrid frowned. "Excuse me?"

Bakura shook his head. "Can I-I help y-you?" he repeated in English.

Hagrid looked down on him. "Sorry 'bout that. I don't speak Japanese. Me name's Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Ground at Hogwarts and Care of Magical Creatures Professor. Are yeh Ryou Bakura?"

"You mean Hogwarts is real?" Ryou gaped. "Then the letter is real?"

Hagrid chuckled. "Well 'o course it's real. Why wouldn't it be?"

"Uh-um, no reason," Bakura stuttered.

Hagrid smiled a large smile. "Well, come along then lad, we have much left teh do. We still need to get you two yer supplies."

Bakura looked up. "Two of us?"

Hagrid stepped aside to reveal Yugi standing there with is stuff. Bakura could here his yami cursing in Egyptian in the back of his mind. //What?! The pharaoh is going too?!//

/Well, at least we won't be alone/

//Hmph//

Bakura sighed inwardly as he made his way to his bedroom to pack his belongings and told his dad what was going on. So about 15 minutes later, the three were off, Bakura and Yugi following Hagrid to wherever he was leading them. Bakura turned to Yugi. "So Yugi, when did you get your letter?"

"Yesterday morning, during breakfast. Grandpa handed it to me," Yugi explained as they stopped at a streetlight. Then he chuckled. "At first, Yami Yugi thought it was Yami Bakura that sent the letter, though."

The ring around Bakura's neck began to glow brightly. After a quick flash that went unbeknown to all except Yugi for a split second, there stood Yami Bakura, all huffy and pissed. "How dare that stupid pharaoh accuse me of doing such thing!" he hissed at Yugi.

There was another quick flash and Yami Yugi stood in his hikari's place. He glared back at the tomb Robber. "I have every right to blame you, you know," He shot back, crossing his arms over his chest.

"And what in bloody hell makes you think you have any right to jump to me on first conclusion that I did something WRONG?" Yami Bakura hissed.

"Well, let's see, you're a Tomb Robber, your sneaky and untrustworthy, plus you have a tendency to lie about almost everything," Yami Yugi stated, ticking off Yami Bakura's faults with his fingers.

Yami Bakura growled and made as if he was about to jump Yami Yugi. But before he could do that, he suddenly found himself in his soul room. He blinked. "What the..." Then he growled.

//Aibou! What was that for? I was about to teach that stupid-ass pharaoh a lesson!//

Bakura sighed. /Two reasons, yami. 1) Yami Yugi is obviously more powerful than we are, considering how he crushed us, or you, in many duels that you were attempting for that Millennium Puzzle. And 2) It is not a good idea to 'attack' the pharaoh in broad daylight and in front of Hagrid.//

Yami Bakura mumbled something that Bakura couldn't make out. Rolling his eyes, he returned his attention to the physical world.

He turned back to Yami Yugi. "Um, sorry Yami Yugi. He didn't mean it, really."

Yami Yugi smirked. "That's alright, Bakura, though I wonder why you don't get a new yami."

//Hey! I heard that, you baka!//

Bakura blushed. Yami Yugi smirked once more and relinquished control back to Yugi. Yugi flushed. "Gomen, Bakura, for Yami Yugi's action," he said sheepishly.

Bakura grinned. "It's alright, Yugi. I think I should be apologizing for Yami Bakura's temper, though I'm more worried that they'll try and kill each other once we're at Hogwarts.

"Too true."

Just then Hargrid turned to them. "Well, are yeh both ready ter go and get yer supplies?"

Yugi and Bakura both nodded in unison. Hagrid led them to the Domino Public Park, and to a secluded area where hardly anyone ever visits. Once there, Hagrid fumbled with something in his many pockets and pulled out an old boot. Bakura looked skeptical at the boot while yugi question his thoughts aloud. "Um, Hagrid? How are we going to get there with a um, boot?"

"No problem there, Yugi. All yeh hav' ter do is touch teh boot with your hand, one finger is good, there yeh go, and it's gonna take yer to teh Leaky Cauldron, where the hotel keeper will be waiting fer yeh, alright?" They both nodded. Hagrid smiled. "'Kay, it gonna take yeh there in 3...2...1..."

There was a sudden jerk and suddenly, all Yugi could see was Bakura beside him. The rest was all but a colorful blur. But as soon that it had started, it stopped. Yugi landed onto a dusty floor with Bakura on top of him. Bakura sat there, look dazed. "Uh, what happened?"

He felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked down to see Yugi's blue face.

"Um, can you get off of me?" Yugi breathe, sucking in air like it was strings of spaghetti. Bakura flushed a little and scrambled off of his smaller companion.

"Gomen-nasai, Yugi," he said and held out a hand to him. Yugi accepted it gratefully.

"No problem," Yugi said as he dusted himself off. Bakura looked around thee surrounding. A rather small and shabby bar all dusty and old and cramped and full of odd things greeted their vision.

"Welcome there, lads," a voice called out of nowhere, startling the boys. They whipped around to see a man standing there with a rag, cleaning a mug. "I assume you're the new students, eh?"

"Um, yeah, we are," Yugi said for the both of them. The bartender smiled.

"Well, hello there, lads. My name's Tom, and I'll be your host for the rest of the summer. Well, now that you're here, let's go get you two rooms." And with that, Tom led Yugi and Bakura to the spare rooms down a semi dark hall. "There you, go. Enjoy your stay, and let me know when you're ready to go to Diagon Alley, alright?" With that, he turned around and left them to their rooms. Yugi walked into his room and noticed that his luggage was already here.

/Wow, good service they got here/

//Can you feel that, aibou?//

/Feel what?/

//The magical aura that is within this place. Never have I felt something like this.//

/Hm, you're right, there are magical energies here, but it's so, so...weird. I can feel all this energy rushing at me./

//I'm sure after a while, you'll get used to it.//

/I guess.../

Then quite suddenly, a sharp voice called out to him. "Look at your hair! It's outrageous, abomination, such a disgrace to the wizarding world!"

Yugi slowly turned around to the direction of where the voice had come from. He didn't see anyone there. Frowning, he walked over to the spot slowly. "Um hello? Is anyone there?"

Silence.

Yugi frowned and took another step forward. Then the voiced called out again. "Well, just don't stand there, fix that hair of yours!" Yugi turned to the mirror.

"Are you talking to me?" He asked, feeling a bit silly, talking to a mirror and not excepting an answer. So it surprised him when it spoke again, now coming directly from the mirror.

"Who else am I talking to? Go get a proper haircut like everyone else!"

Yugi, annoyed, grabbed his money in a pouch, his supplies lists, turned to the door and walked out, shutting it firmly. He saw Bakura coming out as he did. Bakura looked up, an irritated expression etched on his face. "My bed wouldn't let me go; said that it wanted me to stay. My Yami threatened that if it didn't let go, it was going to be in the shadow realm," he explained.

"Really? I had a mirror insulting me about my hair."

"Weird how things here in the Wizarding world seem to have a mind of their own," Bakura observed as he and Yugi went downstairs to go get their school supplies.

"Well, let's just hope that with every encounter with a talking object, it won't be as rude as the ones we've just seen," Yugi said as he pushed open the door to the tavern. Bakura nodded in agreement.

As the boys entered the musky bar, they were greeted by Tom. He smiled at the pair, revealing a jaw with a few missing teeth. "Well, are you ready to go get your supplies?" They nodded. "Come on, let's get moving then," he said and led them to the back of the bar, through the door, and the back to a brick wall. Bakura looked skeptical and leaned over to Yugi.

"How do they expect us to get there though a brick wall?" he asked in Japanese. Yugi merely shrugged. They both watched in wonder as Tom pulled some sort of stick out and tapped the bricks in a certain order. Then the bricks on the walls began to wriggle one by and Yugi and Bakura stood there gawking as the bricks rearranged themselves into an arc. Tom smiled.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley. Now you boys go have fun and be back here before dusk. Be on your guard though," he warned. Yugi was about to question why, but was shoved forward, and instantly, the walls rearranged themselves to a standard wall.

"What was that for?" Yugi asked. Bakura just shrugged and pulled out his list.

"Let's see, first, we need to go exchange our money at Gringotts, the wizard bank," he read out.

"Um, where is that?"

Bakura looked around and spotted a tall white building that was leaning over to one side, like it was about to topple over, with the words, 'Gringotts' in copper imbedded into the white marble stones.

"There it is," he pointed out and headed toward it with Yugi behind him. He bounded up to the large doors and it opened to him, revealing a wall with these words:

Stranger, you may enter, but beware,

Tread cautiously, and step with care,

For what lies beyond these doors,

Is a treasure that was never yours

Those who seeks that do not belong to them,

We shall not look kindly and they will be condemned

So enter at your own will cost,

For shall you seek that was never yours,

All shall disappear and be lost.

Bakura blinked. /Well, yami, I guess you can't steal from here/

//I can rob this place with my arms behind my back and my eyes covered up//

/Really? Wanna try?/

//...I don't feel like it right now//

Bakura chuckled to himself and entered the building with Yugi trailing behind.

/Wow, this building is large/

//Hm, kinda reminds me of my palace back in Egypt.//

/Really? What was it li-/

Yugi was cut off when he bumped into a strange creature, grumpy looking and shorter than him.

"May I help you, sir?" he said.

Yugi blinked. "Uh-um, yeah, I'm here to exchange my money..." He didn't have time to finish as the small creature pushed him forward to a line where Bakura was getting his money.

"Hey there, Bakura," Yugi said as he stepped up to exchange his yen for wizard money. The creature at the counter looked down at him sternly as he handed him the money. Yugi gulped.

Bakura waited until Yugi was finished, then both headed out the door. "So, the gold ones are Galleons, the silver ones Sickles, and the bronze one are Knuts," he explained as they walked through the crowded streets. "Seventeen sickles to one Galleon and Twenty-Nine Knuts to a Sickle. Sounds easy enough."

Yugi nodded. "So, what shall we go get first?"

Bakura shrugged. "Let's go get wands, first, okay?" Yugi agreed and they were off to the wand shop. One problem. Where is it?

"Damn these inferno streets," Bakura cursed as they passed by a tea shop for the fifth time.

"Why don't we go ask someone?" Yugi suggested.

"Agreed."

They turned down a street and found themselves in a dank, dark, murky place, hardly any light reached here and the oddest and a bit frightening things were on displayed. The two stuck close together, as they passed by, with the people here watching them with beady eyes.

/I have a bad feeling about this place/

//So do I, aibou. Be on your guard.//

Suddenly a voice called out to the two. "What are you doing down there?" They both turned around to come face to face with a pale blond-haired, lavender eyed boy.
