________________________________________________________________________
Yugi Mouto stood outside a very strange teahouse in downtown Domino City; this was where the strange letter had told him to come. Yesterday morning a letter had arrived addressed to Yugi, inside it spoke of a Professor Dumbledore and some school in Britain called Hogwarts, it appeared to be an invitation to learn magic. It politely asked Yugi to come to this teahouse for further information. At first Yugi thought it was a joke, but there was just something not right, he had to come and see for himself.
//Would you like me to take over?// asked Yami from the back of Yugi's mind.
/I think I'll be ok for now, but if you feel it becomes dangerous you can come out,/ Yugi reassured his yami, even though this was what they always did.
Yugi pushed open the door and walked into the little shop. It was a nice little place, painted light green, the walls were decorated with large golden sunflowers, along with large windows that allowed the sunlight to poor in. The funny thing was that everyone that walked by didn't seem to see the quaint little teahouse, their eyes slipped right over it. Yugi looked around the shop searching for Professor Dumbledore, but didn't see anyone who looked like the man he was looking for, not that Yugi knew what Dumbledore looked like. But he did see one familiar face, or at least a familiar back of a head.
"Bakura?" Yugi walked over to the table where his friend sat and joined him.
"Yugi!" Bakura looked relieved to see a friendly face. "What are you doing here?"
Yugi smiled, "Well you wont believe this, but I got this strange letter from some man named Professor."
"Dumbledore," a voice finished for Yugi.
Bakura and Yugi spun around, "Malik!" they said in unison.
"You too?" questioned Yugi.
"Yes, and I take it you got a letter as well Bakura." it wasn't a question.
Bakura nodded in agreement. He was so glad that Yugi and Malik were also recipients of the strange letter, he was going to go to Hogwarts, Bakura saw this as a fresh start, where no one thought him strange because of Yami Bakura, but he didn't really want to go alone. He hoped Malik and Yugi would go too, they understood his little problem and didn't hold it against him. He voiced his hope as a question.
Yugi looked thoughtful for a moment, "I showed the letter to Grandpa, he said I should go. Yami thinks that I should see what Dumbledore has to say and then decide to go or not. But I think I'll go, I want to learn more about the millennium puzzle, and the millennium tauk."
Bakura's face split into a wide smile, "Great! I'm pretty sure I'm going. Since it's a boarding school I'll be in one place for a whole year, instead of hopping around with my father. And why are you still in Japan Malik? The Battle City Finals ended almost a month ago."
"Isis and I have not left yet for Cairo, we stayed to finish up the exhibit at the museum." Malik looked at Bakura and noticed the millennium ring under his shirt, "What does Yami Bakura think of this?" Malik inquired, his intense violet eyes focusing on Bakura.
The millennium ring glowed faintly under Bakura's shirt, and suddenly Bakura's eyes seemed to narrow and his white hair stood up a little more.
"I thought this would be stupid, a waste of time and suggested that he ignore the letter. As you can see my advice wasn't heeded," Bakura's voice was colder and all of a sudden a lot meaner. "But since the Pharaoh seems to be going, maybe I should tag along, wouldn't want to pass up a chance to annoy him," Yami Bakura, the darker other personality of the real Bakura, narrowed his eyes and gave Malik an evil grin. "Care to join us Malik?"
"I do enjoy watching you pester the Pharaoh and where you go chaos seems to follow," he paused for a minute, he did like Yami Bakura, "I suppose I will go, besides it will get Isis off my back."
//Great, so now I have to baby sit these two and make sure they stay out of trouble,// Yami fumed from his soul room.
Yugi smiled inwardly at his yami, /Come on, admit it, you'd like the company./ Yami only narrowed his red eyes giving Yugi a glare .
Bakura regained control of his body and the millennium ring glowed faintly. "Great," he said unenthusiastically, "my yami seems to get into more trouble with you around Malik." Malik merely smiled.
....
Dumbledore stood outside of a small little teashop in Japan. Three of the four new students had been in the same city when Dumbledore had sent out the letters of acceptance to them, which was very convenient. It saved him making four trips, now he just had to make two.
Dumbledore opened the door to the teahouse. It, of course, was part of the wizarding world, and so most muggles didn't even notice it when they passed by, bless them, the ignorant creatures. Dumbledore looked around as he walked in, he was meeting three teens, he didn't think they would be hard to find. And he was right, they were sitting in a corner with a pot of tea between them. Dumbledore seemed confused, although he didn't let it show, apparently they knew each other.
They were very strange teens, all three of them. The first one Dumbledore noticed was the shortest, the boy looked like he was barley five feet tall, his hair was three different colours and he wore it spiked up. He was dressed in jeans and a tight t-shirt and finished the outfit off with several belts, buckles and a large gold pendent on a chain. The next one Dumbledore noticed was just as strange, this boy's hair was nearly as white as Dumbledore's and it too was spiky, and he was so pale, however, he was dressed normally for a muggle, sporting a pair of jeans and a striped shirt. The last boy sitting at the table was no less strange. His skin was darker than the first two boys', his hair, again, was spiky, but this time with light blonde. He was sitting facing the entranceway, so Dumbledore could see his intense violet eyes and could make out all the gold jewellery he wore, which included a necklace, earrings and gold bracelets.
Dumbledore pushed his half moon spectacles up his nose and walked over to the boys.
"Good afternoon," he greeted them, "may I join you?"
The short boy and the boy with white hair stood up as Dumbledore spoke. "Would you be Professor Dumbledore?" the short boy asked.
"Yes, I am," Dumbledore motioned for the two to sit as he did, he noted that the third boy didn't get up at all.
"Would you like some tea Professor?" asked the second boy, he removed the fourth cup from the tray and filled it with tea, handing it to the professor.
"Why thank you." Dumbledore took a sip before starting. "Now, I gather that you know each other," all three boys nodded, "that's good, its nice to have a familiar face when you go somewhere new. I am Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I know each of your names, but not which one is which." Dumbledore mused as he inspected each teen again now that he was closer.
"Well, I'm Yugi Mouto, from Domino City Japan," Yugi offered, Dumbledore made a mental note of the rather small teen.
"Ryou Bakura, please just call me Bakura, I'm originally from England, but I live in Japan now."
"Malik Ishtar, Cairo, Egypt."
"Splendid to met you. I requested this meeting for several reasons. Firstly to extend an invitation to you in hopes that you would be interested in attending Hogwarts. It has come to my attention that you all have a great deal of power for those who are untrained, the staff at Hogwarts will be able to help you learn to use that power properly so that you are not a danger to yourselves or to others. The second reason for my visit is to tell you that the wizarding world is facing dangerous times. An epic battle between good and evil has begun and I am afraid that the Dark Lord, Voldemort, may take notice of your powers, and use them against your will."
Dumbledore paused here, looking at each of his potential new students and studied their reactions. Bakura look deeply interested and concerned. Dumbledore knew Malik was listening even though the youth looked like he wasn't, he was lounged in the chair, leaning back on the legs with his eyes closed. The old wizard turned his gaze quickly to Yugi. 'Strange,' he thought to himself, 'I didn't notice before that Yugi had red eyes, I could have sworn that they were violet.' He would have to watch for that in the future.
Dumbledore continued, "I would like to point out here that Hogwarts is one of the safest places in England. If you chose not to attend Hogwarts I'm sure you'll be running into Voldemort shortly, he is powerful and evil, I doubt you would fair well if he found you alone. The third reason for my asking you here is to ask if you believe you will be attending Hogwarts at all. I understand if you are not sure, just tell me what you believe your answer will be at this time."
Yugi smiled at Dumbledore, he liked this man, and it was hard not to trust him. I mean, really, listen to what he was saying, usually Yugi would have called this man a loon and would have left by now, but he was still here and was going to accept his place at Hogwarts. Yami was reading Yugi's thoughts.
//If you wish to go then you have my full support,// he stated. Yugi was glad that Yami was so supportive.
"Professor Dumbledore," Yami started on Yugi's behalf, since he was in control of their body, "I'm positive that I will be attending Hogwarts this year."
Dumbledore smiled, "Excellent, I believe you will enjoy your time there," he turned to Ryou.
/Well yami, what do you think?/ Bakura asked his other self.
//I don't have a great deal of choice in this now do I? I go where you go.//
It took Ryou along time to answer, but finally he opened his eyes, for he had closed them while thinking, and answered, "I will be joining Yugi there."
Malik turned his deep violet eyes at the other two. He didn't have a yami to consult the same way the other two did. He didn't like his yami, who was created from pure rage and hate, his yami was permanent, with or without the millennium rod, which Malik still possessed. But if the Pharaoh is going, and the tomb robber.
"I suppose I also will join them."
"Excellent. Now just one more thing, all of our other students start schooling around the age of 12, now you clearly are well over that age, so we need to choose what year to place you in. Exactly how old are you?"
"Fifteen, I'll be sixteen soon," was the answer from Yugi.
"Sixteen," Malik replied fixing one of his wristbands.
Ryou's eyes went from excited to not so excited, "I'll be 17 in a couple months, my father is an archaeologist, so I was moved around a lot and fell behind in school," Bakura explained. He really didn't want to be in a different year then his friends.
Dumbledore thought for a moment to himself, that would put them in fifth or sixth year, the better choice was obviously fifth year, less to catch up on.
"Well, that's settled, you will be starting in fifth year. Now you will be fairly behind, but we have an outstanding staff and they should be able to catch you up with very little trouble. Also I had to place you in whatever classes had room, so I'm afraid the pickings were slim. The term starts the first of September, here are you lists of supplies," Dumbledore handed them each another envelope. "I will arrange for you all to get to Diagon Alley, where you can purchase these items a week before the term starts, a place to stay for that week and then for transportation to Kings Cross Station, for the Hogwarts Express." Dumbledore stood up, "I will owl you instructions about getting to England, and don't worry about the language problem, that will all be taken care of. I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer." And with that Dumbledore left the teahouse, ready to meet with Nami Edana, the fourth student to be offered acceptance to Hogwarts under special circumstances.
