Yami K: Sure.
K: I've had so much school work it isn't even funny also I got a really bad case of bronchitis, my mom fell down the stairs.and then regents are coming up!!! So I got this out just as soon as I possibly could!
Yami K: She is supposed to be doing an English assignment right now...bad aibou!
K: Yah, and I also need to do a review response chapter. Hopefully I can make the chapters come out sooner, but PLEASE be patient. **Puppy eyes** I'm preparing for three regents, an oral, and all my finals.
Yami K: Excuses, excuses. **Sigh**
K: I hope everyone like's this chapter; I may have rushed a little bit. Please keep in mind that: one this is the first story I've used Malik in, two I've only seen a handful of episodes with him in it, and three most of those episodes are the dubbed. I tried to do my best.
Yami K: K doesn't own Harry Potter or Yugioh!
Chapter 9
"People with real magic don't need any help from these twigs!" Malik cried, acutely aware that he was not making the shopkeepers ten favorite people list. "I don't need a wand to use magic, I can already use magic."
Ollivander sniffed delicately, "Be that as it may young man, it is still required that you possess a wand in order to get into Hogwarts."
"Among all the other pointless junk," Malik muttered and earned himself a glare from the shopkeeper. Malik returned the glare with a smirk. Malik was in a foul mood. Someone had been spying on him last night he just knew it. Yet that wasn't the foul mood-causing event, it was the fact that he hadn't woken up and had about as much idea about who had spied on him as he did where Isis was. He had tried calling his sister, that way he could have someone he knew to complain to, no answer. Marik had no idea either who the spy was, but he had long since given up on immersing himself in a pointless and trivial pursuit such as this.
"Here. Birch, ten inches, unicorn hair." Ollivander thrust a wand into Malik's hand. Malik stared at it for a moment. "Go on wave it!" Malik waved the wand. A bright flash of lightning caught their attention followed by an extremely loud crash of thunder.
[Well..that was interesting.] Malik told his over half. Marik replied with a slight smirk. "Works for me." Malik told Ollivander.
"Well it surely doesn't for me. The wand needs to choose the wizard!" Ollivander went around muttering underneath his breath. "Here." The man handed Malik another wand. Malik obliged by waving the wand. With a great crash Ollivander realized his front window now was not only cracked, but also shattered. {Good job.} Marik mentally told Malik.
Malik stared at the fragments of glass littering the ground shining in the dim light. His purple eyes rose to Ollivander's steadily filled with a bit of mild shock. "Sorry." Malik simply stated, because he WAS sorry. Did anyone actually try to break something like that? Well, Malik amended, before when he was different and Marik was different they may have done something like that on purpose. There was no more fun in it for them now.
Ollivander sighed; wordlessly he took the wand from Malik's tanned strong hand and placed another wand in it. Malik waved this wand mentally bracing for a crash, bang, or scream. None of these three choices happened however. Instead there was a loud trill of music, which sounded faintly Egyptian and some gold fireworks lighting up the blue sky.
"Congratulations." Ollivander muttered thoughtfully as he accepted the money from the foreign boy. Seems as if there happens to be quite a few..strong beginners out here, Ollivander thought to himself as he began to repair the window with a quick spell. "I need to find a stronger charm," Ollivander decided.
Malik departed from the wand shop into the crowded streets of Diagon Alley. His eyes wandered over the many unusual fashions to the many unusual people walking carelessly through out the streets, milling around shops quibbling over everything from prices to which shop had better deals. Interesting, Malik thought, how such an odd yet marvelous society can thrive with out getting much attention from the outside word. Of course it's just like many outsiders cannot comprehend the powers of the Millennium Items.
Yugi and Ryou threaded their way through the crowds. So far they hadn't come across Malik, Yugi was not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Why not check out the pet shop, they probably have some interesting creatures there." Ryou suggested, causing the duo to stop in the middle of the crowd. Yugi opened his mouth to agree when someone apparently heading the opposite direction wasn't looking where they were going. The three ran into each other.
"Well, if it isn't Yugi and Ryou." Malik cried smilingly slightly. "Imagine seeing you two hear eh? Small world." Yugi and Ryou exchanged glances and watched Malik nervously. "What's wrong with you guys? You're looking at me like I'm a predator prepared pounce, and you the prey desperately searching for an escape."
"Hey Malik, you must be here to go to Hogwarts as well.." Yugi said and shot the Egyptian a smile. He didn't seem cold or ruthless, just a bit surprised. Maybe he has changed, Yugi thought.
A man rudely shoved by Malik pushing Malik out of the way. "Watch it!" Malik snapped at the man before turning his attention back on Ryou and Yugi. "Yes, which is no doubt what you two are here for. Cat got your tongue Ryou?" Malik cackled with a smirk.
Well, maybe he's changed a little, Yugi amended to himself. Ryou smiled at Malik. "We were just heading over to the pet store. Well technically it's Eeylops Owl Emporium and a Menagerie. Still a pet shop though." Ryou told Malik, Ryou was relaxing despite Bakura's absentminded warning not to let his guard down.
"I'll go with you, I have nothing else to do." Malik told them and followed after them. The group headed for the owls first.
Yugi admired a small barn owl with a golden color mixed with white on its feathers. Malik was amused by a similar sized screech owl with two tufts of fluffy feathers on its head. Ryou looked a tawny owl, but wasn't too interested in it.
"Hmmm.. you look like a nice owl," Yugi murmured to the barn owl which promptly turned her attention from the other owls to her admirer. She preened fluffing up her feathers. "Would you like to come to Hogwarts? An owl would be helpful." The owl hooted softly. Yugi smiled. I'm getting this owl. He felt Yami stir in his soul room. /You haven't looked at any other owls/ Yami reminded his aibou. Yugi paid for his new pet and immediately began searching for a suitable name.
"Not going to get an owl Ryou?" Malik asked the white haired boy. Ryou shook his head. "I think I'll get this one," Malik gestured to the scruffy looking owl. "Kind of funny looking, but hell it could be useful."
"I'll name you Sada." Yugi told the owl. "That means pure one." The owl hooted in agreement settling down in her light silver cage. Yugi and Ryou waited for Malik to pay for his owl.
Malik christened his owl "Kuri" because, he reasoned, the owl was indeed the color of chestnuts so why not call him a chestnut.
Ryou was dragged to the next shop with animals by Yugi was determined that Ryou should have a pet. Ryou blanched at the offer of a rat and snakes were frankly a ridiculous option. So that was how an hour later Ryou found himself with a white colored kitten snoozing dreamily in a wicker basket.
As the three teens sat down for dinner a cheerful Tom told them that the day after tomorrow the train was leaving from Platform 9 ¾ with the destination of Hogwarts. So their time in Diagon Alley was limited, they should be sure to have all their supplies.
