The chapter where nothing very interesting happens.
"Were exactly are we?" Yami asked apprehensively as they entered a crowded Diagon alley.
"Diagon alley." Harry replied factually, a hand firm on his companions sleeve leading him on determinedly. "I need to buy my school things. Plus it'll be a good way to show you more of the wizarding world." He added, that having been Dumbledore's reason.
"Is it acceptable to stare in Wizard culture?" Yami asked curiously as they walked along, pulling out of the worst of the crowds.
"No..." Harry trailed off, people were staring weren't they? "I just expect you look slightly strange to them is all." He added, looking some what apologetically up at Yami, Yami simply shrugged.
"First stop Flourish and Blott's." Harry commented factually a few minutes later. Yami looked up with some interest at some of the dusty tombs in the front display. "A compendium of dark arts defense year six." Harry commented to a book keeper who had just offered his services. "And transfiguration year six." He finished looking down at his list to make sure that was the extent of the books he needed to buy.
"Harry!" the greeting was quickly followed by someone tackling Yami from behind. A slightly startled looking Ron soon followed. "Uh, well.... I didn't know Yugi would do that, sorry." he looked apologetically down at Yami.
Yami on the other hand after realizing the identity of his attacker hugged him fiercely back. Though he did scramble up to his feet a few seconds later, slightly abashed.
"Harry who is this?" Ron asked looking down at the two identically haired teenagers before him.
"This is Yami, the friend I told you about Ron." The strange boy who had tackled Yami replied, much to Harry's confusion.
"And this is Yugi Harry." Yami added his arm slung over Yugi's shoulder happily. "Why are you here Yugi? Harry and I came for Harry's school things." Yami added turning to Yugi.
"Same here." Yugi replied. "Well actually Ron and I came to get our school things. I'm going to Hogwarts Yami! Isn't that cool?" Yugi asked Yami excitedly.
"Yes, very interesting." Yami replied smiling.
"Are you getting a pet Yugi?" Ron asked, mostly out of pure interest but also to try to bring back the boy onto a plane he understood.
"Maybe..." Yugi shrugged. "If you are done Harry I could go have a look." He added.
"Sure." Harry shrugged, grinning. "I'm finished here."
A few minutes later Yugi found himself the owner of a grey kitten.
"What'll w-" Yami immediately cut himself off, he had been about to say we. "What'll you call her?" he corrected himself quickly, no one seemed to notice.
"I don't really know, Misty, what do you think?" Yugi replied stroking the head of his new found purring bundle of joy.
"That's a nice name." Ron commented, he preferred names that started with H but hey, it was Yugi's kitten right. "Harry do you know who'll be our defense against the darks arts teacher this year?" he added as an afterthought as Yugi and Yami continued to ooh and aah over the little kitten.
"Sirius and Remus," Harry replied factually but a hint of laughter pulling at the edge of his voice.
"Seriously? Sirius is going to be our teacher! Like Professor Binns or something?" Ron replied shocked.
"No! He turned up alive with some strange bloke called Bakura!" Harry replied. Overcome by the joy at the idea of Sirius being alive once more Harry hugged Ron happily not noticing the stop of happy babble in front of them.
"Who did you say turned up with this Sirius?" came a shocked voice from them. Harry and Ron who hadn't been paying attention nearly tripped over the motionless Yugi standing square in front of them.
"Bakura, a little strange, but Sirius trusts him." Harry replied confidently.
"If Sirius trusts Bakura, Sirius is either stupid or evil." Yugi replied factually.
