Summary: - Yugi and the other millennium item holders are in danger from Lord Voldemort! So Albus Dumbledore invites them to Hogwarts. But Yugi discovers that Joey and his other friends can't go. So he politely refuses. But with Voldemort and the Death Eaters after him, how long will he survive without Dumbledore's help?

A/n:- This is my first fic under any topic so I hope you guys will enjoy it. Send me any comments, ideas or criticism. I'm new so I know my fics won't be world class, but don't send me flames, ok? I picked this topic for a story cos there are a lot of HP/YGO crossovers but most of them seem to follow the same plot:- 'Voldemort wants the millennium items so Dumbledore brings Yugi, Bakura and Marik to Hogwarts where they become best buddies with Harry and co.' I thought I'd use some ideas from the 'Voldie after the millennium items' plot and improvise them. So enjoy and don't forget to review!

Disclaimer: - I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or Harry Potter. And I HATE declaimers!!!

:::Chapter 1:::
Discovery

It was a dark and cold night. The man known as Wormtail shivered as he waited for someone to arrive. He was reaching into his robes for something, when he heard a faint swish of a cloak. It was followed by a series of footsteps that came towards him.

"W-who is it?" said Wormtail nervously. "Is it you, Avery?"

"No it's Merlin!" said Avery in a sarcastic voice. "Of course it's me. Who else would be outside in this god-forsaken cold to meet a rat like you!"

"That was uncalled for Avery," said Wormtail with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Have you got the information or not? The Master doesn't take blunders lightly."

"Yeah, I've got the information." Said Avery. And he took out a small package. "Tell Him that this package contains all the manuscripts I could find about the seven Millennium Items. There will also be a hand-written note which contains the current location of most of the items and the names of the owners."

"What do you mean 'most of the items'?" said Wormtail suspiciously.

"The Millennium Ankh and the Millennium Scales are nowhere to be found." Said Avery. "the man who owns them is a bloke with a turban called 'Shadi.' His whereabouts are unknown. He seems to have better control over the magical powers of the items, than most of the current item holders so for him, disappearing off the face of the earth isn't too hard."

"This is a surprising turn of events, but the lord can still get all of the other items." Said Wormtail as he read the manuscripts that Avery had gathered. "All of the other items seen to be in the possession of children."

"Well, I'll be going now. " said Avery. "I'll let you know if I find anything else." And with the swish of a cloak, he was gone.

Wormtail walked away from the meeting point and walked up to an old and desolate house. He shivered again as he went inside. He kept going until he came across a door with a faint green skull on it. He gently knocked on the door.

"Come in." said a cold voice. It's harshness made Wormtail tremble with fear. But he opened the door and went inside trying to ignore his fear.

The room was fairly large with a huge chair situated near the fireplace. Wormtail was slowly walking towards the chair when he heard a faint hissing. He looked at the floor and gave a frightened squeak. There were over 20 types of highly poisonous snakes slithering on the floor! The hissing he heard was from a vicious-looking King Cobra. Wormtail had accidentally stepped on its tail.

The King Cobra wasn't too happy and it didn't even hesitate to lunge at Wormtail, who dashed towards the chair crying for his dear life! The snake's poisonous fangs tore off a bit from the hem of Wormtail's robes.

"Ahh, Wormtail," said the man in the huge chair. "It seems that you got on the bad side of Jafar."

"J-jafar, my lord?" stuttered Wormtail.

"Yes," said Voldemort. "I chose that name for the cobra after watching one of those muggle motion-pictures for children. It was about a poor boy, a magical lamp, a genie, a princess and a sorcerer. I hated it, but I named this cobra after the sorcerer, 'Jafar.', who changes into a snake like an animagus."

"I have the information my lord." Said Wormtail. He held out the package that Avery had given him.

Voldemort grabbed it and tore it open. He then read the contents and smiled. "So the all-powerful Millennium Items are in the hands of children?"

"Yes my lord." Said Wormtail. "Shall I send some Death Eaters to steal the items from them?"

"No Wormtail." Said Voldemort. "I'll give the order. Hold out your arm."

Wormtail held out his hand that had Lord Voldemort's symbol, the Dark Mark, on it. He closed his eyes and braced himself for what was coming next. Voldemort seized Wormtail's hand and poked the Dark Mark on his arm. As soon as Voldemort touched it, the red tattoo-like mark turned into a jet- black colour. Wormtail let out a painful wail as it hurt his arm when Voldemort used this technique to summon other Death Eaters.

When the dark lord touched the dark mark of any Death Eater, the mark would turn black, start burning and would cause the subject a lot of pain. All the other Death Eaters would also feel the pain and know that their lord summons them. So they would leave whatever they were doing and Apparate to the current location of their lord.

As soon as Wormtail's mark started burning, a series of faint swishes announced the arrival of the other Death Eaters.

One by one, they walked into the room and formed a circle around Voldemort and Wormtail. The other Death Eaters didn't seem to mind the varieties of deadly snakes.

"You summoned my lord?" questioned one of the Death Eaters. The fact that he was wearing the traditional Death Eater's mask did not hide his voice. It was Lucius Malfoy.

"Yes Malfoy," said Voldemort. "I have need of your services!" he went on to explain everything about the millennium items to his followers. He did not stop to answer any questions nor did the Death Eaters have any. They knew what they had to do.

"Who should I kill my lord?" asked a sly voice. It was Macnair, the man who was Voldemort's spy in the Ministry of Magic. "The white haired child? Maybe the Egyptian boy?"

"Macnair you fool!" snarled Voldemort, making Macnair start twitching involuntarily. "You are not to carry out this delicate operation like that. We mustn't kill all of the item holders. Some of them have magical powers even without the items so the Imperius curse will be in order."

"Brilliant plan as usual my lord!" said Malfoy with an evil smile.

"You will go after each target in pairs." Said Voldemort. "Lucius and Macnair will go after the boy known as Yugi Mouto in Domino City, Japan. Nott and Crabbe you go after Marik Ishtar in Egypt. And finally, Wormtail and I will go after the one they call Ryou Bakura also in Domino City."

"Why do you want to go to this particular boy master?" asked Nott. "What is so special about him?"

"This boy has the millennium ring. It has the ability to track down other millennium items by their mystical energy. It would prove very useful to us." Said Voldemort.

"What should I do master?" asked another Death Eater; Goyle to whom Voldemort had not given any order.

"You will go to Avery and stay with him until Wormtail and I come for you. With the help of the Millenium Ring, I can track down the one known as 'Shadi' and seize his items." Said Voldemort. "Now my Death Eaters, GO! Find your targets and stop at nothing to acquire the items!"

As soon as Voldemort said this, the Death Eaters all Diapparated.

"Lets go Wormtail." Said Voldemort. "Soon, all the millennium items will be mine!!"

Yugi Mouto was standing outside Domino Museum. He was waiting for Tea to arrive. Yugi had heard about a new exhibit in the museum so he invited Tea to come and see it with him. She had accepted and was due to arrive any minute.

//Yugi,// said a voice in his head. It was Yami, the ancient spirit of the Millennium Puzzle who lived within Yugi's mind. //You really shouldn't be so nervous. This isn't the first time Tea accepted to go on a date with you.//

/It's not a date!!/ cried Yugi. /And besides the last time she went with you to help you to find your past./

//Your mind is an open book to me Yugi.// smiled Yami. //You don't have to hide your feelings about Tea from me.//

Yugi was about to respond when he heard a female voice calling him.

"Yugi!" it was Tea. "There you are. I thought I'd never find you in this thick crowd." She was wearing her usual clothes but had put on some make-up and very nice smelling perfume.

"Uh hi Tea," said Yugi nervously. He had never really noticed how beautiful Tea was. But now he was having trouble concentrating on anything else. "Y- you wanna go in?"

"Sure. Let's go." Said Tea. She didn't seem the slightest bit nervous. But she was smiling in a dreamy way.

'Oh Yugi finally got the courage to ask me out on a date.' She thought. 'I'm so happy. I've been dreaming about this moment ever since Duelist Kingdom and now, it's happening it last!'

"So Tea," said Yugi trying to make conversation. "Are you getting better at Duel Monsters?" but as soon as Yugi said it, he felt like kicking himself. He was the one trying to teach the game to Tea, so he should know how good she is.

"Uh, yeah," said Tea who was looking slightly puzzled. "So Yugi, from where did you hear about this exhibit? It's supposed to be really cool right?"

"Yeah. I think it'll be awesome!" said Yugi. "Joey told me about this place. According to him, this place is a great place to 'take a girl you like out on a date.'" Yugi's cheeks turned a bright pink and he hung his head down.

//Yugi,// said Yami from their mind-link. //You are doing very well for a boy who had never gone on a date//

/Yami!!/ cried Yugi. /How many times do I have to tell you? This IS NOT a date!!/

Yami just snickered and stayed silent.

Tea saw Yugi start to blush a little and she started blushing too. 'So Yugi does like me! That's even better.' She thought.

"So, uh, let's go in shall we?" said Tea and grabbed Yugi by the hand and started pulling him towards the museum entrance. Pulling Yugi was easier now than before as he had gone through a major growth-spur and now was almost the same height as Yami.

They half-walked-half-ran towards the entrance queue and managed to get a decent spot. It wasn't long before it was their turn to buy tickets for the exhibit.

"Two please." Said Yugi and took his wallet out to pay the price. According to a sign, the price for an adult was 10 yen. So Yugi held out twenty yen.

But the woman at the counter refused. "no, no my dear." She said. "there is a special discount today. 10 yen for any couple coming in on a date. So that's 10 yen for both of you."

"Ok." Said Yugi and paid the price. Then he said a hasty 'thank you' and ran into the museum with Tea right behind him.

As soon as he went into the museum, two men wearing black hooded robes came towards him. They reminded Yugi of Marik's Rare Hunters.

"Are you Yugi Mouto?" one hooded man asked in perfect Japanese. His voice was a bit muffled.

Before Yugi could answer him, Yami took over.

"Who wants to know?" he demanded.

"Oh forgive me for my rudeness." Said the man and pulled his hood down. Beneath the hood, his skin was a little pale and his long hair was in a pale-blondish colour. The man's hair colour reminded Yugi of Marik. "I am from England." He continued. "My name is Lucius Malfoy and this is Macnair. We are here to make a deal with you."

And that's the end of the first chapter of my first Harry Potter/Yu-Gi-Oh fic. I daresay I'm extremely satisfied! I've left the end at a cliffhanger. You'll find that all my chapters, from now on will be pretty long so keep an eye out for them! ^_^ My next chapter will probably take a week or less for me to write. And let me know if I made any mistake with a name, a spell's incantation or anything like that. I've read and re-read this document a lot of times so any error that you find (that is if you find any.) would be pretty small. Anyways, please review, ok? Please?

P/s:- After this chapter, at the start of all the other chapters I'll write a song that goes pretty well with that chapter so that you can listen while reading. (I'm something of a music-fanatic!^_^)
