violet not blue, apparently i am colour confused - actually my friend is
colour confused, he can't tell the difference between blue and purple
Smarties....he and my friend were in biology and doing work with Smarites
and she was like 'uh Chris why are your blue and purple Smarites in the
same pile?' and he was like 'oh, are they? i can't tell the difference'
-anyways ^_^ i believe that i fixed that.thank you very much ^_^
secondly - i don't own HP or YGO *sigh* too bad, because i don't think i'd mind

Nami liked her summer job at the museum in Cairo. Nathaniel had helped her get the job, a friend of his had been looking for someone to give tours, and since Nami spoke several languages, was in town with Nathaniel for the summer, had been present at the dig sites of some of the artefacts and knew a great deal about the rest she was a good candidate.
Yesterday morning Nami received a letter from a man in England claiming that he ran a school of magic, and he insisted that he meet her. He informed Nami to meet him at the museum at noon, in the room dedicated to artefacts and information from the Second Intermediate period of Egyptian history. Nami would have ignored the letter normally, but she was already at the museum and it would only cut into her lunch break so what was the harm in going. She just had to get through this one last tour and then she'd be on lunch.
"Please follow me and I will take you through the last room of the tour," Nami directed her group through the door on her left, using the Arabic language native to Egypt.
In the room the group oohed and awed over the artefacts, and seemed impressed when Nami told them how they had been found and that she was present as some of them were unearthed. After about a ten-minute speech about the room and a five-minute question and answer period it was lunch.
Nami made her way back to the specified room and sat down on a bench, the room, surprisingly was empty, until a strange looking man walked in. He was wearing purple robes and a pointed hat; he had funny half moon glasses that he pushed up his nose as he entered the room. Nami had a mental image of Kaya raising an eyebrow.
//I think this must be him, looks like a loon, probably is a loon,// Kaya said from her soul room.
/Appearances can be deceiving,/ Nami told Kaya, /who would suspect that there are two people in my body, no one. It can't hurt to hear what he has to say./
//I still say he is a loon.//
The strange man approached the bench where Nami sat, and offered his hand. "Professor Dumbledore, I believe you are Miss Edana."
Nami took his hand and shook it while saying, "Yes I am, but please call me Nami."
"Nami, I suppose you have several questions to ask me about the position at Hogwarts that I offered you," Professor Dumbledore looked around at the room filled with ancient treasures.
//Yeah, like what kind of crack he does and where I can get some,// Kaya snorted from her soul room, Nami gave her a glare.
"With all due respect Professor Dumbledore, I'm not sure I believe you, that there is a school for magic, or that you are a wizard," Nami looked at her hands folded in her lap.
"Completely understandable," Dumbledore pulled at his beard, "but I'm not sure of what I could do to convince you." Dumbledore tapped his nose with one of his long crooked fingers, "I know," he stated. And then he disappeared.
Nami stared at the spot that had previously been occupied by Dumbledore, which was now empty.
/What the./ Nami trailed off.
//Collective hallucination?// Kaya suggested as an explanation.
Dumbledore was only gone for a couple minutes before he reappeared beside Nami. This was sufficient evidence for Nami and Kaya that this loon was not a loon and was telling the truth.
"Ok, I believe you," Nami gave her head a shake. "Before you try to talk me into coming to Hogwarts," Nami started, but was cut off.
"I am not here to convince you to attend my fine school, but to inform you of the possibility and the situation that has arisen." Nami raised an eyebrow curiously. Dumbledore explained, "You have a tremendous amount of power for an untrained wizard, a dangerous amount of power. These are dark times and they are going to get worse, an evil wizard, Voldemort, may have taken notice of your powers. He will want to use them against the wizards opposing him, with or without your consent. Hogwarts is a very safe place, which will protect you from the Dark Lord and teach you how to use your magic."
Nami absorbed this information, a serious look on her face. "I have decided that I will come to this school, I wouldn't want to place innocent people in danger because they are around me."
"That is very noble of you, but I am sure that you will have a wonderful time at Hogwarts. You will starting in the fifth year, with a few other students, there will be lots of catch up on, but our fine staff will be more than willing to help," Dumbledore smiled and pulled out a bunch of candy from his pocket, "Lemon drop?"
Nami smiled, "Thank you," she said as she helped herself to a candy.
"I'm afraid that I had to place you in whatever classes had extra room, so I apologize if they are not to your likings," Dumbledore looked at his watch. "I'll be sending you information about how to get to England, you will be leaving a week before the term starts, and I have arranged for you to stay in Diagon Alley, where you can purchase your things. Now I must be off, the term draws ever closer and the work wont do itself."
And with that Dumbledore stood up, bowed to Nami and left.
//Didn't say anything about me,// Kaya mused.
/I didn't expect him to, I doubt that even in this wizarding world that our situation would be normal./
Kaya shrugged, //Well you never know. But you do realize that you are going to have to interact with other people at this school, right?// Kaya knew that Nami had never gone to school before and had never really interacted with people her own age.
A look of worry crept over Nami's face, /I know, it can't be too hard can it?/
Kaya laughed and soon Nami was chuckling to herself as she stood up to get her lunch.
....
Yugi sat on the end of his bed deep in thought. Dumbledore didn't mention anything about his millennium puzzle or any other millennium item. Yugi let out a sigh.
//What is bothering you?// Yami asked, materializing next to Yugi on the bed.
/It's nothing,/ Yugi flopped onto his back.
//Obviously it is more than nothing,// Yami remained seated, but looked down at his friend with concern.
/Well, Dumbledore didn't say anything about the millennium puzzle, or anything like that. I have this strange feeling that he doesn't know that our magic comes from the items, I don't think he knows about the items at all./
//It is more than likely that you are correct, we will have to guard our secret well at Hogwarts, but we will not be alone, the grave robber will be there as well.//
Yugi laughed, /If that makes us feel any better at all!/
Yami smiled. //Have you told your grandfather that you are going?//
/I think I'll do that now,/ Yugi stood up and headed for the kitchen, Yami not far behind him.
Yugi's grandfather was in the kitchen starting dinner, humming to himself when Yugi and the unseen Yami entered the room.
"Yugi, dinner wont be ready for another hour still," he informed his grandson.
"Grandpa," Yugi started, he looked beyond his grandfather where Yami was inspecting the refrigerator door. "I met with that Dumbledore man, and guess who else was there!"
"Who?" Grandpa asked, checking behind him to see what Yugi was looking at.
"Bakura, he said that he was going to go to Hogwarts, and I decided that I want to go as well," Yugi stopped watching Yami and looked at his grandfather, who was still trying to see what his grandson was so interested in.
He smiled, "Good, good. Do you know when you'll be leaving?"
"No idea, Dumbledore said he would mail us the information soon." Yugi smiled as well, "Do you need help with anything Grandpa?"
"Nope, you go and have fun."
...
Bakura sat in his room by himself, his father had just left for a few weeks for some dig in Mexico, and in his hand was a letter written on yellow parchment with emerald green ink. Slowly he broke the seal and read what was inside.
Dear Mr Bakura,
I have made arrangements for you, Mr Mouto and Mr Ishtar to travel to England together. You will meet with an associate of mine in the teashop where we first met, on Monday August 25, please bring your trunk with you, for you will be going directly to Diagon Alley, where you will spend the remaining week of your summer holiday. I have also arranged for a family to meet you there on the first of September to take you to King's Cross Station. I look forward to seeing you on the first of September,
Professor Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Bakura smiled, he was so excited to start the new school year in England, especially since Yugi and Malik would be there.
//Ha, I hope they forget about the language problem, I don't believe the Pharaoh or Malik speak a word of English and that would be most amusing,// Yami Bakura chuckled from his soul room, smiling evilly to himself.
Bakura merely shook his head and rolled his eyes, his yami was such a pain sometimes. He didn't know how he put up with the constant chatter inside his head, because it never stopped, Yami Bakura had a remark for everything and insisted that he give his two sense worth. Ever since the end of the Battle City tournament, Yami Bakura had lightened up a lot, he could still be mean, and he was as sardonic as ever, but Ryou liked this yami much better than the old one, although the old one was much quieter.

~~ (*) Harry looked around him, he was standing between two massive hedges, it looked so familiar, and suddenly Harry knew where he was. It was the third task of the Triwizard Tournament, an event that he would not forget for a very very long time.
"Go on," Cedric said, gesturing to the Triwizad Cup.
"Both of us," Harry said, his eyes starting to mist over. He had this dream numerous times, but it didn't get easier, each time it made Harry feel terrible for surviving, for living when Cedric didn't, Voldemort had been after him, Cedric's death was unnecessary, like so many other people's when it came to the Dark Lord.
Harry scarcely listened to the rest of his conversation with Cedric, frankly he had heard it more times then he ever wanted to. He went through the motions, said what he had said to Cedric on that night and he walked over to the cup with Cedric and they both grabbed it at the same time. Harry felt something pull at his bellybutton and dreaded the part that was coming next.
When Harry stood up he was in the graveyard that haunted his dreams nearly every night and beside him was Cedric, looking slightly nervous at their surroundings.
"Wands you, d'you reckon?"
Harry looked at Cedric and simply said "Yeah." Harry remembered that he had been glad Cedric suggested it, not him. If only he had known then what he knew now.
Harry stood there and looked around him, waiting for the sensation of being watched to start, and right on cue it did. And then, as if part of a well rehearsed play, a figure began to come closer to Harry and Cedric, carrying the bundle of robes that Harry knew hid Lord Voldemort. Harry waited for his scar to explode in pain, and it did. He dropped his wand with the pain, it hurt so much.
"Kill the spare," Harry heard Voldemort hiss, followed by the fateful word, "Avada Kedavra," and the thump of Cedric hitting the ground dead.
Harry found himself looking into Cedric's empty eyes; they were blank, cold and completely lifeless. Harry stood there staring in numb disbelief, again, for about the one-hundredth time he had watched Cedric die, and he was sure that it would not be the last. (*)
"Cedric," Harry cried, "Cedric, no!" ~~
"Harry? Harry are you alright?"
Harry sat bolt upright he was so confused. "Cedric?" he questioned into the dark.
"No, its Ron," Ron scratched his head, obviously a little worried about Harry. "I woke up and you were tossing and turning and kept making funny sounds."
Harry looked into his lap, embarrassed, why did he have to make so much noise in his sleep? "I'm fine, just a bad dream," he told Ron; glad he couldn't see his friend in the pitch black. "Sorry I woke you," he added quietly.
Ron smiled, "You didn't, I was getting up to go to the bathroom. Are you sure you're alright Harry?"
Harry forced himself to smile, "I'm fine, but tired, I'm going back to sleep," he didn't wait for Ron to reply, "night."
