Hello minna! How is everyone doing? Chapter 19 hot from the press...but not really cos I'll have someone read it before I post. I would like to apologize for all the typos in the last chapter...I didn't notice them until I was reading through it with a friend from Ottawa which is why I'm having someone read this before I post it....now I just need to wait for someone to come online so I can pass it off. :waits: ok, well it's been an hour and I've had lunch and am now having a nice cup of tea, it's a good cup of tea too, not Earl Grey mind you, my dad is too cheap to by me good tea, but still good nonetheless. I give up! It's been posted without anyone looking at it, if there are mistakes, deal with it lol
Have any questions? comments? Leave a review or drop me a line at , bored? Have an idea? Add me to msn , I'd love to hear from you!

Ok, one last thing. Sorry for those who were told there was a chapter 19 and then it was gone. I decided to take it down so that I could change some stuff. I didn't change what I had planned but I added something else. I hope it was worth the wait. Thank again.

See ya at the bottom!
Malik and Bakura jumped and squealed. "Nami!" they chorused together.
"What are you doing up?" demanded Bakura.
"I was in the kitchen getting a snack. But what are you doing up?" she demanded back.
"Nothing," Malik muttered. He glared towards Bakura, "I thought you were watching the map!"
Bakura looked at the map, "I was, well I am," he glared before grinning like a psycho, "you squealed!" he pointed at Malik and began to laugh, "You squealed like a little girl!"
Malik scowled and grabbed the map from Bakura, after determining that there was no one in the adjacent halls he looked at the figures standing around his own floating name. Ryou Bakura, Bakura Ryou, Nami Edana and Nami Edana.
Malik blinked, /Nope, there are actually two Namis on this page./
He looked up and saw only one. The two Ryous didn't bother him, one for Ryou and one for Bakura, that made sense, he could even see the little Yugi Motou and Motou Yugi sleeping in bed, /Just the place for the pharaoh, better there then out and about, snooping and sticking his royal nose in my business./
"Malik! Hello! I've been talking to you!!" Bakura glared, "I said we have to get going, Malfoy is going to be there first if we don't hurry up!"
"Malfoy? Are you going to meet Malfoy?"
"Yes, so we can show him that he is nothing more than a snivelling pile of wizard dung," Bakura nodded at Malik's statement.
"Sounds exciting. But why are you going Ryou?"
"To watch. I'm not going to miss this! Not for all the gold in all the tombs in Egypt."
"Oh," Nami said quietly, "you just never struck me as someone who would get a kick out of this Ryou."
Bakura exchanged a frantic look with Malik before doing his best Ryou voice, "Everyone has a dark side," and added in a Ryou-ish smile for good measure.
"How do we get to the trophy room?" asked Malik as he plucked the map from Bakura. "If we don't hurry little Malfie will get there before us."
"See ya tomorrow morning Nami," Bakura smiled sweetly, "Good night."
"I'm coming too!"
"But what if we get caught?" Bakura pointed you politely (it was painful.) "You wouldn't want to get in trouble."
"Then we wont get caught," Nami said simply.
"We don't have time to argue, just keep quiet," Malik whispered.
By the time the trio made it to the trophy room Malfoy's little dot appeared on the segment of parchment they were looking at.
Nami looked over Bakura's shoulder, "What kind of map is this? Wow, look there is Malfoy coming now." Nami looked at her own dot and saw that it was labelled twice and baulked. "Oh, it must not work properly," she mused as she looked at the dot named Malik Ishtar. Her eyebrows rose when she saw two Ryous standing next to her dot.
"I don't know, Potter gave it to me, to see if teachers were coming. Must not work, two Bakuras is way too much for one world to handle." Malik threw in nonchalantly.
"I resent that," Bakura muttered.
As the dot dew closer to the trophy room Malik shushed his friends, "Good, he is alone," Malik murmured to himself.
Bakura smirked and took up his post leaning against the wall, watching for teachers. He crossed his arms and his eyes took on an evil look.
Nami tried to adopt a similar intimidating pose but felt ridiculous, so resigned to watching with owl-like eyes.
Malfoy stepped into the trophy room with a sinister sneer on his face. Bakura and Malik of course, were unaffected by it.
"I am surprised you showed, you're more stupid than I thought," Malfoy laughed. "You do realize that you are a beginner wizard and that I am a fifth year? This will be like taking candy from a baby."
.........
Back in the Gryffindor common room Harry was pacing back and forth in front of the fire, impatiently awaiting the arrival of his godfather. A head appeared in the fire, but Harry failed to notice in all his pacing.
"Sit down, you're making me dizzy!" laughed Sirius.
"Sirius! Finally! How have you been?" Harry sat down on the hearth next to his legal guardian.
"I've been fine, just finishing up around here. How have you been? Staying out of trouble I hope."
Harry chuckled, "Like you are one to talk, I'm out of trouble, mind you for how long I can never say. Where have you been? , I saved you some dinner," Harry smiled when his godfather's face broke into a wide grin. "I got some pork, a few potatoes and a piece of cake," Harry placed them in front of the face.
Sirius ate a bit before answering, "You can't tell, I really shouldn't be telling you, but you have your ways of finding things out on your own anyways. Egypt, there has been a huge amount of Death Eater activity over here. It was really starting to worry Dumbledore. But we've got some people here now, and all is being taken care of."
"Why Egypt?"
"I do have a question for you Harry. Why was Hedwig in Egypt?" Sirius asked, avoiding Harry's question.
"A girl needed to send a letter there, I said she could borrow Hedwig, which reminds me I need to give her the letter Hedwig brought back for her. Why do you ask?"
"Tell me about this girl, what is her name? What house is she in?"
Harry gave Sirius a funny look, but answered, "Nami Edana, she is a Gryffindor, fifth year. She is one of the new students."
"Harry, I want you to do me a favour. I want you to keep an eye on this new girl, watch for unusual behaviour, but don't be obvious."
"Alright, but the other new kids are five times as strange as she is," Harry mused.
"Keep an eye on all of them, these are dangerous times." Sirius smiled, lightening the mood. "Well Harry, I have to get going, but don't worry we'll see each other soon. It's a surprise, and no I won't tell. Thanks for the food, don't get much good food around here." Sirius gave one last smile before he disappeared, leaving Harry alone.
Harry stood stifling a yawn, "Good thing Malik and Ryou didn't come back; that would have been difficult to explain."
......
Malik's eyes narrowed but the smiled calmly. "I don't need your magic to fight you." Malik pulled out his wand and placed it on an end table beside a large glass cabinet holding trophies. "I assume you will hide behind your magic?"
"I will hide nowhere!" Retorted Malfoy as he too put aside his wand.
Bakura snorted at Malfoy's stupidity, he'd done exactly what Malik wanted.
"Shut up you stupid git," snapped an irritated Malfoy.
"Make me," Bakura taunted, and tsk-ed what Malfoy reached for his just discarded wand. "Can't you make me without your wizard magic hmmm?" Malfoy continued to glare. "Come on Malfie."
"My name is Malfoy and you should learn to respect it. My father is an important wizard –"
Malik rolled his eyes, "Like I care about whom your father is, do you always hide behind his name, or is that just for us? Your father could be the Pharaoh for all I care!"
"Actually," Bakura inserted, "I think you would care if his father is the Pharaoh," after a nasty look from Malik he hastily added, "but that is the only situation you'd care about, and you'd care in an evil I'll-destroy-you-and-gain-all-the-power-of-the-Pharaoh way."
Malfoy turned to Nami, who just shrugged. "You two really need to lay off the crack, you know," he sneered.
Malik, reaching the end of his short patience, stuck his hand in his pocket and drew out the Millennium rod.
"Well, little Malfie, do you enjoy games? Because we're going to play a little shadow game, just you and me." Malik ignored Bakura's grumbling about how he wanted to play too. "It's simple really, you just have to win the game."
Malfoy merely stared, "A game?! Are you serious? I'm not going to play some stupid board game with you! I came to fight!"
"You haven't heard the rules yet."
"I don't care what the rules are," Malfoy laughed as he picked up his wand and pointed it at Malik.
"You just broke the most important rule of all, no wizard magic. You lose. The punishment is banishment."
Malfoy laughed, "You really are a nut case. The cheese has slid way off your cracker! You need help man." But Malfoy stopped laughing when purple fog started curling playfully around his ankles. "What the devil is this?!"
"The place of your banishment," Malik smiled serenely, "I hope you like it, it will be home for a long time."
"Ummm, Malik," Bakura whispered from his position by the door.
"Can't you see I'm busy."
"We have company."
Nami hopped over to Bakura's side and peered over his shoulder, "Snape is heading straight this way, and it looks like he's on a mission."
Malik turned back to Malfoy, "Until next time." And then Bakura, Malik and Nami slipped out the door and back to the Gryffindor tower, leaving Malfoy to escape on his own.
"This way!" Bakura pointed to his left as he whispered.
Malik stopped and looked at him, "No, the tower is this way," Malik jerked his thumb to the right.
"No," Bakura put his hands on his hips, "the tower is this way."
"Children out of bed, tsk tsk," came a voice from behind Nami. A cold, hard, dead voice, it sent shivers down Nami's spine.
When Nami turned around she was face to face with a floating man, wearing robes that were stained in silver, but looked suspiciously like blood.
Bakura seemed unaffected by their strange new companion. "Children!? I am not a child!" Bakura ranted.
The Bloody Baron stopped short, what was this? No one ever spoke back to him, he was the Bloody Baron, most feared ghost in the whole school. "Do you not know who I am? I am the Bloody Baron"
"What is with you people? Why do you think we care who you are?" Malik sighed. "First it's Malfoy and his father and now some old dead guy, no offence Bakura. Really, we don't care!"
Bakura shot a look at Nami, to see if she caught Malik's last comment, but Nami was too busy inspecting the Baron's clothes up close.
"Is that blood? I know of a really good stain cleaner, I met if you washed it those stains would come right out. Do you do laundry? I mean you're dead right? You'd look much less unapproachable if you got rid of these," she gestured at his silver covered front.
"But then what would we call him? The downyliciously clean baron?" Bakura snorted. Nami stuck out her tongue.
"Do you even know what Downy is?" Malik asked.
"No. Do you?" Bakura fired back.
"You two can't be serious!" Nami cradled her head in her hands. She turned to the Baron, "Anyways, it's been lovely talking to you, we need to get going. I suppose we'll see you at breakfast tomorrow morning." Nami grabbed hold of Malik and Bakura by the wrist and began to drag them away towards the Gryffindor tower, which was neither to the right or the left, but straight ahead.
Once back in the tower the three teens stopped before heading up to their beds. Nami had a few unanswered questions.
"What was that purple fog?" Nami asked tugging at the sleeves of her pyjamas.
Malik looked at Nami carefully, shoved his hands in his pockets and continued to look, waiting for the glassy eyed look that indicated he was in control of that person's mind. However, that look never appeared and Nami stood there looking back at Malik waiting for her answer.
"It'd be best if you forgot about it," Malik advised before heading for the boy's tower, Bakura hurried after.
"What was that about? Why didn't you just get inside her head, and then erase that memory? What were you thinking? Leaving her like that!"
"I tried! I couldn't, it didn't work. Her dot, on Potter's map, it was labelled twice, and my rod didn't work on her, something isn't right. We need to have a chat with the Pharaoh," Malik muttered darkly before slipping inside the curtains of his bed.
Nami was left downstairs by herself.
/Something is not right with those two,/ Nami thought as she made her way to bed.
......
Nami shifted, the sun felt nice on her face, keeping her nice and warm. And the stones beneath her feet weren't too hot, but also nice to the touch.
/Wait a tick!/
Nami opened her eyes and found herself in a beautiful courtyard, filled with blossoming plants and a few date trees. Nami was sitting on a bench, not the most comfortable piece of furniture she ever encountered, but not terrible.
Another lady entered the courtyard and cleared her throat, "Nailah, please fetch me some water."
Nami found herself standing up and bowing humbly, "Yes ma'am." Nami's body moved of its own accord, knowing its way to the well, then poured some water into a bowl and Nami's body moved back to the courtyard. But when she returned there was another person there, talking to the first lady.
/The High Priestess,/ Nami told herself, confused, /How do I know this?/
"We are ready to start," the man who had joined the High Priestess stated. "This will be the beginning on the Pharaoh's undoing."
"Do not say such things," hissed the Priestess, "ears and eyes may be watching and listening."
After a few minutes Nami found herself clearing her throat and entering the courtyard.
"Thank you, Nailah, you may go."
Nami made her way back to the gate before hiding behind a tree to listen further.
"That damned tomb raider has been spotted again, Pharaoh shall be busy with that for awhile, it gives us plenty of time to start," he man said in his commanding voice.
/Start what?/ wondered Nami.
"Then proceed with the production," the High Priestess commanded.
The man smiled and exited the same way Nami had and as he passed Nami drew back further from the path. The man stopped and Nami got her first good look at him, but he saw her as well. Sending her an evil smile he continued on his way. Nami sunk down onto the ground, but as soon as she hit it she jerked awake in her own bed at Hogwarts.
