Chapter 11
"Quidditch!" Harry and Ron cried in unison. They grinned and paid no attention to the fact that Ryou, Malik, and Yugi were all staring at them with blank looks on their faces.
"What is Quidditch?" Ryou asked sensibly, tilting his head ever so slightly. Harry and Ron gawked at Ryou for a moment before remembering that these newcomers were new to the magical world, not just new to Hogwarts. With that in mind, answering the groups questions became much more bearable.
"It's a sport wizards play, you use broomsticks, it a lot of fun." Harry explained his eyes shining happily. He looked out the window of the train at the scenery whizzing by. He turned back to Ryou and began to explain the rules and the game in more detail, when the door to the compartment slid open.
"Hey Potty, Weasel, Mudblood!" Malfoy cried with a malicious look in his cold eyes. He narrowed his eyes in anger when he noticed the blonde Egyptian. "YOU!" Malfoy cried, "You're the one who dropped the trunk on my foot! On purpose I might add! I should jinx you right here and now!" Malfoy growled reaching for his wand threateningly.
Malik scowled, flicking his hair, "it's not my fault if your foot got in my way. As for jinxing me, go right ahead, I'd like to see you try." Malik stated, reaching in his pocket to stroke the Millennium Rod in an unconscious response. This movement did not go unnoticed by Ryou and Yugi who exchanged a worried glance but wisely kept quiet.
"Ooooh, I'm sooo scared," Malfoy mocked. "You better watch yourself, I could very well be a prefect the next time you see me!"
"What do you mean Malfoy?" Hermione asked politely, trying not to seem angry or annoyed.
"Well, mudblood," A smirk flitted on Malfoy's face when he heard Ron's strangled yell of anger, "Dumbledore has decided to announce prefects after the Sorting, rather than notify the students by owl." Malik rolled his eyes disdainfully and yawned, an act, which did not get by Draco Malfoy. "Boring you am I? Who are you anyway?" He demanded, and then he noticed Yugi and Ryou. "Nice hair." He smirked at Yugi whose face turned red.
[Want me to take care of him aibou?] Yami generously offered. {No Yami. Not in front the others, they might notice the change and ask questions} Yugi decided to ignore Malfoy. Ryou didn't even act as if he had heard anything, he was probably talking to his Yami, Yugi mused. Malik seethed silently for a moment before answering.
"I am Malik Isthar, that is Yugi Motou, and Ryou Bakura. Now you know who we are, now leave!" Malik ordered nastily. When Malfoy failed to have the quick response Malik suspected, Malik touched his Millennium rod once again. A glowing golden eye appeared on his forehead and his cold eyes became faded and glazed over, silently Malfoy walked out of the compartment.
"Malik!" Yugi chided, biting his lip looking nervously at their new friends, who had appeared not to notice anything other than the fact that Malfoy hadn't taunted them on the way out. They were discussing why that could be and if he had a new plan to torment Harry.
"He doesn't, but he plans on coming up with one soon." Malik told them before he could stop himself. He had snuck a peak into Malfoy's head.
"MALIK!" Ryou yelped, his brown eyes looking around nervously as if looking for eavesdroppers. /That was smart/ Bakura told Ryou with a smirk. //And you would have done so much better// Ryou replied mentally rolling his brown eyes at his cold and bad tempered Yami.
"How did you know that?" Hermione asked, Harry, Ron and Hermione all shared a long look. Malik shrugged and then noted that he heard something being rolled down the aisle. "Must be the food." Hermione told him staring at him for a moment longer than any of the others. Strange, how he could surmise something like that, Hermione thought, when obviously he only recently met Malfoy. So he wouldn't know how he'd act, would he? She asked herself mentally as she handed over some money to the woman rolling the cart of food.

The time on the train flew by so quickly that before he know it, Yugi had been told he should change into the robes he had purchased. Yugi tugged on the back garment and looked down at himself. The robes were slightly long, hardly noticeable, which was a good thing. Yugi didn't want to have to explain to people that every once in awhile a spirit of a Pharaoh took over his body causing him to grow several inches momentarily. Yami told Yugi darkly with a slight smirk on his face. Yugi just rolled his eyes ignoring the darkness' comment. After considering the millennium puzzle, Yugi put in underneath his robes, that way there would be fewer questions about the piece of jewelry. Ryou did the same with the millennium ring, and Malik just slid his rod into the large roomy pocket of his billowing robes.
The train screeched to a halt at the empty and silent train station. It soon became full of shouts and laughter of students heading back for another year at Hogwarts. The older students pushed and shoved in a hurry to get into the horseless carriages, which would take them to the school. The first years headed for the slightly intimidating and scary Hagrid who was bellowing for all first years and NEW students to head his way.
Separating themselves from the throng of returning students, Yugi and the others hesitantly walked over to the tall burly man. "'Ey there. You three must be the new students, I'm Hagrid, groundskeeper and the Care Of Magical Creatures professor." Hagrid told them kindly. Yugi relaxed, this man's appearance was obviously more forbidding the man inside. "Alright first years, into the boats you go. No more than three or 4 to a boat. Right." Hagrid told everyone. Malik hopped in a boat followed by a silent Ryou and an excited Yugi.
Slowly the troop of boats containing the first years and Hagrid made its way through the dark cool water of the lake, the young kids were whispering nervously and apprehensively amongst themselves. A collective gasp sounded when the large and majestic castle that was Hogwarts came into view. Incredibly tall and monstrous with its many towers and turrets large and small, the castle was something that no one could look at and not be amazed.
After the students were dropped off the first years stood staring up at the castle anxiously. Malik rolled his eyes, "what a bunch of babies," he muttered as he strode up to the castle doors with the others following closely at his heels. As soon as they reached the door it swung open eerily. A severe and strict looking woman walked out, she had her hair pulled back into a tight bun. She gave the group a piercing look. Pausing a bit longer on Malik, Ryou, and Yugi than all the others. She gave them a nod.
"Welcome to Hogwarts, I am Professor Minerva McGonagall," The stern looking woman began; she started describing the school, the points systems, and the houses (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin). The she stated that they were to be brought into the Great Hall and they would be sorted into their respective houses in alphabetical order.
