Chapter 6

First Classes

When Kaiba and Shizuka walked into Professor Flitwick's classroom they saw that they had Charms with the Slytherins. "Hi, Malik!" Shizuka said.

"Yo, Shiz, how you doing?" Malik said back.

"Great, thanks," she went and sat down next to Malik and Malfoy. Kaiba followed.

"You know her?" Malfoy whispered to Malik.

"Yeah, she's from back home. Dude, give her a chance," Malik whispered back.

"Whatever," Malfoy rolled his eyes and stared at Shizuka. She was very pretty, and she must be smart too, because she's in Ravenclaw. But, he couldn't let anyone know he liked someone who is a Mudblood, not that he would call her that. "Who's her friend?"

"Seto Kaiba, he-"

Professor Flitwick cut him off, "Mr. Ishtar, I do not permit talking in my classroom. 5 points from Slytherin." he continued louder, "Welcome class, to your first Charms lesson of the year! I am happy to see all of you back for another year. Take out your books and quills and start answering the questions on page 2 for a review. Ms. Kawaii, Mr. Kaiba and Mr. and Ms. Ishtar, I would like to see you all for a moment," The color drained from Shizuka's face, "Don't worry, you're not in trouble," Shizuka smiled as she Kaiba, Isis and Malik walked up to the tiny teacher's desk. "Okay, Headmaster tells me he did not give you wands, correct," Nod. "Do you know why?" heads shake, "your with your ancient magic you don't need them. You four only need your fingers understand. Malik, point to that book and say, 'Wingardium Leviosa'"

Malik stared.

"Try it!" the elfin man coaxed.

"Okay," Malik felt stupid. "Wingardium Leviosa!?" To every one's surprise the book began to float. "Wow, did I do that?"

"I think so," Shizuka murmured.

"Good job, little bro," Isis cheered, something she didn't usually do for Malik.

Flitwick smiled, "I'll see you at break time today, to help catch you up. Go back to your seats then." he waved them away.

The rest of the class seemed to just fly by. The bell rung and nine thirty and the Ravenclaw were of to flying.

"Malik," Malfoy started to ask, "Are you also friends with the new Gryffindors, because I might not be able to tolerate that. I hate the Gryffindors."

"Well..." Malik started, "Only Bakura. No need to worry, Ryou shouldn't be in Gryffindor," Malfoy stared, "You'll know what I mean when you meet him."

"What ever," Malfoy wasn't sure about Malik anymore. He hadn't even taken his wand out once during Charms, but he was able to do every spell.

***********************************************************************************************

On the Quidditch field . . . . . . .

"Let's go! Everybody got a broom? Good," Madam Hootch yelled, "Let's begin. I hope you remember to place your hand over your broom and say up. Let's go people!"

"UP!" Shizuka yelled trying not to sound mean. To her surprise it jumped up and almost broke her fragile hand. "Ouch!" he squealed in pain.

Kaiba smirked. "Maybe you sounded to mean?" he joked.

Shizuka glared, "That's not funny!" she scolded. Kaiba smiled.

"Good, new kids, good. Now mount your broom and push off. We're going to have free fly today." Madam Hootch yelled.

Shizuka pushed off and realized, she was good at this. She started to fly around and yell for Seto to join her. "Come on Seto!" she called, "It's fun!"

Kaiba smirked. "Okay, hold on, Shiz! I'm comin'!" He pushed off. He wasn't bad either. "You wanna have a catch?" he asked flying low.

"Sure!" she answered angelically. She watched as Seto flew low enough to grab the Quaffle out of the supply trunk. He flew up to her level and tossed it to her. She caught it, flew a tab lower and threw it up at him. He caught it and tossed it back. She caught it and smiled at Kaiba. She flew directly toward the three goals and shot the ball. It went in! Kaiba caught it before it hit the ground and then landed, motioning for her to follow.

When Shizuka landed she walked over to Seto. He was talking with Madam Hootch. "Shizuka, was that your first time on a broom?"

"Yes," Shizuka looked bewildered.

"What about you Mr. Kaiba?"

"My first time."

"What houses are you in?"

"Ravenclaw."

"Okay. You two run along and have your break. You may be receiving a letter tomorrow," Madam Hootch smiled.

Shizuka looked at Seto and said, "Come on, we have to see professor Flitwick, remember?"

Kaiba nodded and followed her to Flitwick's office. When they opened the door Isis was ready to close it again. Yugi, Ryou and Malik were already there. "Hello, everyone," Flitwick smiled. 'Looks likes Yugi's actually taller than somebody, for once,' Kaiba smirked.

"Okay, people, please copy what's on the board and study the spells," he said, "Once you're done that you may go."

Yugi smiled and started to write quickly. He still needed to get his Care of Magical Creatures supplies and find his way to the classroom. Isis was the first one done and by far the most organized. Kaiba finished next and waited for Shizuka before leaving. She and Ryou finished next at the same time and left Malik by himself, scribbling down the spells on his piece of parchment.

When he finished he met up with Malfoy on his way to Herbology, who was staring at him. "What are you lookin' at?" he asked frustrated.

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask, is your magic . . . er . . . the same as ours?" Malfoy seemed to be hoping for a certain answer.

"I don't know? Why don't you ask Dumbledore, if you really want to know?" Malik had always been belligerent.

" 'Cause, I'm not sure if he knows either."

***********************************************************************************************

In Professor Snape's dungeon . . . . . . ..

"Listen up people!" said the greasy haired professor, "I do not expect anybody to have improved from last year, but I do hope to avoid mass explosions." Snape glared at certain people like Shizuka, he glared at people he thought he could scare and intimidate. He was especially surprised when Shizuka gave him a very intense emerald stare. She seemed to have scared him. What do you expect from someone who's spent so much time with Seto Kaiba and his sapphire glares? Snape turned from Shizuka to Kaiba and got a similar result. He obviously didn't know this was Seto Kaiba. He sounded weak when he spoke, "P-please take out your b-books and begin making a s-simple sleeping p-potion."

"What's the deal with that guy?" Isis whispered to Padma Patil, a pretty Ravenclaw girl.

She was hesitant to speak, "That's Professor Snape, he's like this all the time, get used to it."

Isis then began reading over the steps of this potion. She learned as a girl in Cairo to always look before you leap. This potion didn't look too hard. All she had to do was mixed sweat of a mountain troll with blood of a goat, mix and leave it for a day. She quickly gathered her ingredients and began working.

Kaiba's potion was light gray, which meant he did it right. Shizuka on the other hand's potion was hot pink and bubbling. Snape soon found out and began criticizing her on her poor potion making skills. She tried to glare, but she couldn't. She had never been so insulted in her life. She fought a long battle against tears and narrowly won. Kaiba began to try to console her, but it was no use.

Just as Snape was about to give out homework, the bell rang. Shizuka muttered, "Saved by the bell! Thank God!" Unfortunately firth years had study hall next. She met up with Yugi and Bakura, who pulled her into a corner.

"Shizuka!" Yugi sounded worried. "Bakura and I think we should tell Dumbledore about our yamis."

"We're going now. Are you coming?" Bakura asked.

She nodded. "Yes. Dumbledore should know."

"Good. I'll get McGonagall." Yugi motioned for them to follow. They saw McGonagall turn the corner. "Professor McGonagall!" Yugi yelled hoping to get her attention.

McGonagall turned around, "Yes?"

Bakura said, "We need to see Professor Dumbledore, right now."

"Okay. Follow me," she started to walk down the hallway and towards a golden griffin. "Blood Pop," she said. The griffin jumped aside revealing a staircase. "Professor Dumbledore awaits you," she said.

When they reached the top of the stairs, they came across a large circular room with many strange devices and moving portraits. "Dumbledore," Yugi called. He noticed a scarlet bird sitting on a stick. It looked like a newborn.

Dumbledore came down another set of stairs. "Yes, Yugi, Ryou, Shizuka," he said noticing everyone.

"Professor Dumbledore," Yugi started, "there's something you should know,"

Dumbledore stared, "Go on."

Ryou spoke, "In our Millennium Items," he pointed to the Ring and pulled the Eye out of his pocket, "well some of them contain ancient spirits."

Dumbledore continued to stare.

Shizuka spoke next, "Maybe we should show you rather than tell you." She rolled up her sleeve allowing the bracelet to slow. It glowed with blinding light. Shizuka's hair became fully red, no more brown, and her eyes narrowed like Yugi's did when he let Yami out.

\\Yugi, let me out, it's Serenity, my daughter. \\ Yami was restless.

//Okay// Yugi agreed. His Millennium Puzzle started to glow. His hair got spikier, he grew a foot taller and his eyes narrowed.

"Well, come on," Yami said to Ryou. Ryou's Ring started to glow. His hair spiked up noticeably and his eyes narrowed a lot.

"Pharaoh, you have no right to boss me around like that," said the hoarse voice of Yami Bakura.

Serenity looked angry, "You have no right to talk to my father like that, tomb thief."

Yami Bakura smirked, "Gee, princess, haven't seen you in a while."

She glared, "That's beside the point."

Dumbledore finally spoke, "Silence!" everyone stared, "Who are you people?" he asked.

Yami answered, "We are the Ka of Shizuka, Yugi and Ryou. In ancient Egypt I was the pharaoh who saved the world from the shadow magic. He," he pointed to Yami Bakura, "Is a grave robber and is still a thief and Serenity is my daughter, the princess of Egypt."

Serenity saw Dumbledore's look of fear, "Don't worry old man, the thief is no longer dangerous."

Yami Bakura looked offended, "Hey! But she is right. There is only one reason we would resort to other ways."

Dumbledore asked, "And what is that?"

Yami answered, "If someone threatened our hosts."

"Understandable." Dumbledore said. "Would you care to enlighten me, what is this Shadow Magic?"

Yami Bakura had been waiting for this question. "Allow me, pharaoh," he said with a smile. Their surroundings started to become a dark purplish blend of colors.

"Hey!" Yami objected.

"What? I thought a demonstration was in order!" He retorted.

"Whatever," Yami murmured.

Yami Bakura smiled, "Observe, in the Shadow Realm, we are able to summon monsters," he held up a card, "Ah, my favorite, Dark Necrophilia, come forth!" Dark Necrophilia appeared beside him.

Dumbledore was stunned. It looked so. . So . . Real.

Dark Necrophilia was attacked by Dark Magician! "Hey!" Yami Bakura shouted at Yami.

Yami tried to look innocent, "What? I thought a battle was in order!" Yami retorted.

Serenity was very annoyed, "Grave robber, return us to Dumbledore's office."

"Yes, I would like to be in my office again," Dumbledore said.

Yami Bakura glared. "Fine," he said as the office reappeared.

Yami asked, "Anymore questions?"

Dumbledore thought for a minute, "No, you may go."

He watched, as they once again became, Shizuka, Yugi and Ryou. They then walked out of his office and down to lunch because Study Hall was already over.

Shizuka met up with Kaiba. "Where were you?" he asked bewildered.

"Talkin' to Dumbledore," she replied coolly. "How was Study Hall?"

Kaiba answered, "Borin' "

"Well, let's have lunch then?" She said.

"Okay," he said as she started to walk over to the Ravenclaw table. "Wait up!"

She sat down and started to eat. "Seto, what subject do we have next?"

Seto smiled, "Care of Magical Creatures." He took a bite of his turkey sandwich. "It's on the edge of the forest, so we should leave lunch early."

Shizuka took a drink, "Okay."

When they finished eating they headed out to Professor Hagrid's hut; they saw Yugi and Bakura. "Hi, Yugi, Bakura!" Shizuka said in her sweet innocent voice.

"Hi!" Bakura and Yugi said back. She went to sit with them. Again Kaiba followed.

Ron blushed when she smiled at him and Harry. Isis was sitting next to a girl with very bushy hair and large front teeth, who she guessed was Hermione.

When it was time for class to start, a very large man with long unruly brown hair came to stand in front of them. "Hello everybody," he said in his booming voice. "I'm glad to see everybody back for a new school year. I'm also glad to see our late starters look excited. Well today we will be workin' on raisin' Knarls. One thing I should be tellin' you is that you never leave food out for 'em. They enjoy catchin' they're own food."

"Hagrid," Harry started, "Is there anything else we should know?" Hagrid stared. "You know, any stingers, sharp teeth?"

"Oh, no, Harry, no. Anyway, I only have enough for you work in pairs. So if you could please pair up an then come get a Knarl."

Kaiba instantly grabbed Shizuka and made her his partner. Harry and Ron went together. Yugi and Bakura went together and so did Hermione and Isis.

"Professor," Isis said, "What do we do once we have our Knarls?"

Hagrid answered, "Good question er- what's your name again?"

"Isis."

"Everybody listen up!" Hagrid boomed, "Isis here has a good question. When you've gotten your Knarl, you come a leash and put it on 'em." Kaiba went and grabbed a blue leash, his favorite color, before Shizuka could take pink. He wrestled it onto his Knarl and handed it to Shizuka. She walked the little thing till class was over and then went to get ready for their next class that was Transfiguration, taught by Professor McGonnagal.

When they walked into the classroom, Kaiba groaned, the Slytherins, like Malik, were there. This of course, meant that Shizuka would go sit next to Malik and Malfoy and he would follow. She did just as he had predicted. Malik smiled at her and Malfoy ignored her. Then the teacher walked into the room. "Listen up people!" she yelled sternly. "Let's get right to business. This year you people will be working in pairs everyday. You will have the same partner each time. Of course, I pick partners. Let's begin then, shall we? Mr. Ishtar, I'm sad to say you are not with your sister. Instead you will be working with Ms. Patil." Malik groaned. He didn't want to work with some stupid little girl. "Mr. Kaiba owning your own company doesn't give you any authority here I'm sorry. You're working with Ms. Ishtar."

"Damn!" he muttered, he hated Isis's riddles and talk of destiny. Malfoy smirked.

McGonnagal continued, "Mr. Arrogant Draco Malfoy, let's see how you do with Ms.-" Shizuka shivered, there was only one person, so far she hated besides Snape and that was Malfoy. "-Kawaii!" Shizuka covered her eyes, Malfoy, smirked. He could certainly boss her around. When everybody else was paired up, nobody hated his or her partner more than Shizuka hated Malfoy. "Now. Your first project is to do a presentation on what you've learned in the last few years." Isis choked. Both her and Kaiba were new this year! How were they supposed to do their project!

When class was over, everyone ran to their next class. For Kaiba, Shizuka and Isis that class was Defense Against the Dark Arts. When they got to the classroom Professor Umbridge was already there sitting at her desk tapping her foot. They sat down next to each other as the Hufflepuffs came in. "It's no use sitting down children, I'm assigning seats." Everybody groaned. "Okay now, Ms. Kawaii I want you to sit with Mr. Diggory. Again Kaiba sighed; Shizuka was with someone else he was going to be with Isis again. As Cedric Diggory went to sit down next to Shizuka he smiled and she smiled back. He blushed. Mr. Kaiba, sit with Ms.-"

"Don't say it! I already know who it is! It's Ms. Destiny Necklace Wearing Ishtar! Right!?!?" Kaiba yelled. Isis did not look offended. After all she did talk about destiny and . . . well, she did have to Millennium Necklace. Umbridge gave Kaiba two weeks detention and said he could join Mr. Potter at five tonight. When class was over they returned to the Ravenclaw common room because classes were over for the day. Shizuka went to put her books away when she found a letter for her yami. The princess Serenity was released and she read the letter aloud:

Dear Princess,

It has been many long years since we have seen each other and now looking at your hikari I have realized I've found you again. Please meet by the lake at five Saturday. Please do not be late.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Anonymous

//Go! // Shizuka pleaded //take my body if you want//

\\What if it's a trap \\

//Serenity, nobody wants to kill you now. Kaiba's got detention Saturday at five. Go! //

\\Fine! But it's late, Hikari, go to sleep \\

//Fine// Shizuka went to sleep.
