CHAPTER 14. Drafts of Experience
"What's wrong with them?" Yugi asked Hermione quietly. Our little Gryffindor troupe were currently on their way down one of the many corridors that made up Hogwarts. The 'them' in question were Harry and Ron, who were muttering to themselves about the unfairness of life and such.
"We've got double potions now." the brown haired girl responded drearily.
"Is that...a bad thing?" Ryou asked, his confusion apparent.
"The teacher is a biased bast-"
"Ron!!" Hermione exclaimed, "He's a teacher! You could get in serious trouble if somebody heard you!"
"Everyone knows it though. It isn't like it's a big secret or anything..." Ron grumbled, then turned around. "Hey Yugi, you coming?"
"What's down there?" Yugi asked. He had stopped short of a corridor leading the away from the dungeons where the potions lessons were held. 'Hey Yami, do you feel something...odd coming from down there?' he asked through his mind link.
'Yes...It's a very strange feeling. Almost familiar.'
"Not a clue." Harry now appeared next to Yugi, making him jump slightly.
"Isn't that the out-of-bounds area?" Hermione asked. Everyone gave her a questioning look. "Don't you remember? At the beginning of the year Dumbledore said that the third hallway down the stairs from the dungeons was to be strictly avoided."
"I'd forgotten all about that." Ron scratched his head in confusion, "I wonder what's down there that's so dangerous."
"Well we certainly aren't going to find out, no trouble this year remember! Now hurry up or we'll be late for class." Hermione turned tail and started walking in the opposite direction with Ron and Harry shrugging and turning to follow. Ryou and Yugi lingered for a moment.
"You can feel it too, can't you..." Yugi whispered.
"Yes...somehow it's familiar..." Ryou muttered in response.
"That's exactly what Yami said. We'll have to talk to the others about this."
"Come on! Snape will have our heads if we're late on the first day! Or any day for that matter!"
"Right, coming!" Ryou turned and pulled Yugi with him. "Now isn't the time for this." he murmured over his shoulder and Yugi nodded. They entered the Potions classrom as quietly as possible.
The class must have just started because students were still taking their places, but the teacher, Snape, was no where in sight.
"Well if it isn't the goody Potter crew." a sneering voice was heard from across the room.
"Well if it isn't the weaselly little rat who went running scared." Yami Bakura grinned wickedly. This grin was one that had made many tomb guards realise that they would much rather have a job as something safer, like a fire-swallowing trapeeze artist. Draco contented himself with looking relatively put-out.
"I do not have time for this!!" Snape whirled into the room, looking quite discontented. Alot more than usual. The reason for his annoyance was soon made obvious.
"You know that I am right Severus." a certain turban-wearing teacher stood in the doorway behind him. Shadi had on his usual look of indifference mixed with smugness.
"I have a class to teach! You shall leave immediately!!" Snape was practically apoplectic in his rage. Yugi and Ryou exchanged worried glances. The rest of the class simply looked stunned.
"As you wish, but I shall not leave it at this. Your petty stubborness shall not lead you anywhere."
"OUT!!" Snape spat. Many of the students present would have bolted at the venom in their teachers voice, but Shadi simply gave an enigmatic smile and walked out. Snape gave one last growl of rage before sweeping to the front of the class. "Sit down!! Hurry up!!!" he growled at the few students who remained standing. Yugi and Harry got seats near the front, while Ryou, Ron and Hermione sat a few tables back.
"Oh dear..." Yugi muttered. Shadi wasn't exactly the most easy person to get along with and he definately seemed to have rubbed this teacher very much the wrong way. Snape was currently reading out the class roll. When he got too Yugi and Ryou's names he looked up and gave them a cold, appraising glare. He didn't seem to like what he saw. As he finished he gave everyone in the room an unhappy look.
"Now it seems we have two new faces in our class. Ones with no previous magical experience." Yugi and Ryou would have liked to say differently, but thought better of it. "Now tell me, why do you two think you are worthy to start in this grade, which will be far above your own understanding." Yami Bakura took over and was about to say something very unpleasent, but Yami cut him off.
"Please do not judge us before we have even started the lesson Professor." he said calmly, if slightly grudgingly.
"I shall judge you whenever I see fit Mr Mouto. Ten points from Gryffindor for your cheek." Yami raised his eyebrows unbelievingly. He was an Ex-Pharaoh and, despite being forced to adjust, still didn't like people having power over him. Especially when they were arrogant bastards like this one. He was about to say something that might have been reminisent of Yami Bakura , but Yugi took over before anything happened that he would regret.
Snape went on for a while, explaining what they were going to be doing this lesson, which on the whole wasn't very interesting. When he started writing ingredients and methods on the board, everyone grudgingly began copying it down. It was a potion that was called 'The Sage Inherit'. A very unusual, uncommon and difficult potion to brew. As everyone finished copying down the instructions, Snape rounded on Ryou.
"Now Bakura, here is your chance to prove that you are indeed worth to be in this grade. What do you think the influence of this potion is?" he sneered, a slight smirk on his lips. Ryou's eyes went wide and he look from the board, to Snape, and back to the board. A drop of sweat rolled down his cheek. From Yugi's eyes, he could only just see the Millenium Ring glow slightly.
"I-I-It allows the drinker...to see into the m-mind of a deceased person." he stuttered after a short while. Snape frowned, his eyebrows crinkling into a show of annoyance. Obviously Ryou wasn't supposed to know that. Then it occured to Yugi, how did Ryou know that? As if sensing Yugi's confusion, Yami answered.
'Either he's been studying as much as Kaiba, or he just got a bit of help.' Yami smirked
'Help? But how...'
'You saw the Millenium Ring glow. I think Yami Bakura went, in Spirit Form, to the front of the class and looked at the teachers notes. Just a hunch, but I think I am right.'
'Haha, quick thinking on their part.' Yugi smiled to himself, looking at Ryou's utterly relieved face. The rest of the class passed without too much incident, besides Neville getting some points taken off for spilling his ink on a Slytherin girl in front of him. By the time the lesson was over, everyone was well and truely tired as the day was over.
They were dismissed and the Gryffindor five filed out together. As soon as they were out of the door, Ron yawned loudly.
"Thank God that's over!" he exclaimed, stretching his arms upwards.
"You guys were right. I didn't like that class at all." Ryou said, pouting slightly.
"Don't worry about him Ryou, it wasn't like he was picking on you. Well actually, he was, but he does that to everyone." Ron said.
"Actually, I was wondering, how did you know what that Sage potion did?" Harry asked curiously.
"Yeah, I know I didn't have a clue." Ron agreed.
"I was just really lucky. I must have seen it in our textbook or something." the white haired boy mumbled. Yugi smiled, Yami's guess seemed to be accurate. At once they all looked forward as the sound of singing began to be heard.
"Puff the Magic Dragon, lived by the sea..."
"Malik?" Yugi and Ryou recognised their friends voice immediately.
"And frolicked in the autumn mist..." Malik and Kaiba rounded the corner, "in a land called Honalee!" It seemed that Malik was circling Kaiba, singing very loudly and trying his best to drive the CEO mad.
"Ishtar, shut up. And stop following me!!" it was obvious to everyone that Seto Kaiba was at the end of his rope. No doubt he had been followed all day by the persistant Egyptian who insisted on becoming his friend.
"Malik! Kaiba! Hi!!" Yugi waved happily. The singing stopped and Kaiba exhaled in a manner that seemed to convey eons of annoyance.
"Hi guys!!" Malik grinned and ran forward to greet them. As this happened, Kaiba turned and walked away. "Wait! Come back! Oh phooey." Malik pouted, "I probably won't see him until tomorrow now."
"You know, I don't think irritating him to the point of homicide is really going to achieve anything. Other than your funeral." Yugi observed.
"Oh I beg to differ!" Malik waved his finger. It was at this moment that a large group of Ravenclaw girls walked past.
"Hi Malik!" one of them exclaimed. That began a chorus of various greetings and giggles, directed at the blond boy who turned to them.
"Afternoon girls!" Malik winked. This brought about another torrent of giggling as they rounded the next corner.
"Who were they?" Ron and Harry were looking rather confused and slightly envious.
"Just some people." he said nonchalently. Yugi and Ryou thought this was because he was used to people following him around. Harry and Ron thought that he must have the girls under some sort of spell. Hermione thought it was all very stupid. "Anyway, I've gotta go to the library and do some research. I'll see you guys around!"
"Bye Malik!" he gave a small wave as he dashed around the corner.
"So what are we doing now?" Yugi asked.
"Going back to the Common Room for a while I suppose." Harry said.
"Sounds like a plan."
They arrived at the Fat Lady portrait and said the password (Geletine) and settled themselves into the chairs that weren't occupied near the front of the common room.
"Harry go and have a look at the notice board. See if there's anything interesting there." Ron said.
"Why me?" Harry glared at his friend.
"Because I said so."
"Because he's too lazy to do it himself." Hermione added.
"Oh fine." Harry picked himself up and made his way over to the board. A few moments later he came back. "Ryou, it seems it is your moment to shine."
"Pardon?" the white haired boy blinked.
"The Quidditch Tryouts are coming up." Harry flashed a flyer stating very clearly;
'QUIDDITCH TRYOUTS, THIS FRIDAY
The position of Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team
shall take place at 5pm this coming Saturday. Anyone interested
in trying out should meet at the Quidditch Pitch at the arranged
time. Students are welcome to come just to watch. All the members
of the current team are obligated to come. That means you have
to, no excuse. Brooms shall be provided.
Angelina Johnson, Gryffindor Quidditch Captain'
"That's right, Wood has left." Hermione said.
"Good on Angelina for making captain though." Harry said.
"Someone speaking about me?" a tall girl with long braided hair appeared down one of the stairs from the girls dorms.
"Yeah Angelina, nice one with the captain thing." Ron said.
"Thanks guys. Actually, I wanted to talk to you Harry. Do you know anyone good who could try out for Keeper? So far I only have a few second years and a third year. They seem good but I was hoping for more..."
"Actually, I needed to talk to you about that too. First, this is Yugi Mouto and Ryou Bakura. They are transfer students. New here in our grade, from Japan. Ryou was thinking that he might like to try for the team." Harry finished and Angelina gave Ryou an appraising look.
"Have you ridden a broom before?" Ryou gave a nervous shake of his head. "Ever seen a game of Quidditch?" Another shake. "Well then, what do you think you could bring to the team?" It was at this point that Yami Bakura took over.
"I shall learn the sport. I shall thrash the opposition. Do you need anything more than that?" he gave a look reminiscent of a predator and made everyone present feel somewhat like prey, with the exception of Yami who simply rolled his eyes.
"I...suppose not. See you on Friday then! Nice seeing you again guys." Angelina made her way, a little too quickly, out of the room. Yami gave Bakura a sarcastic look and lay back in his chair.
"Show off."
