Chapter 4: New School Year

In the seeming quiet halls of Hogwarts no one was about really but the teachers who were busy getting the school year ready tonight the students will be brought to Hogwarts for another year. However little know the dangers that will be brought here this year.

The girl walked the halls with the company of Shadi. The two knew very well that the dangers if something goes wrong, the prophecy told that the three Sennen Holders are to come. Shadi looked up at the girl and asked, "What do you think the challenges will be for the Shadow Holders, including us?" The girl frowned some and then in a quiet tone, "The challenge is to harness the power of the Sennen Items, however with the Ministry, I'm sure with the help of technology with Seto hopefully it wouldn't a be a problem. I shall see him very shortly. Now I shall go see him." The girl walked down the hallway and vanished, Shadi nodded and vanished also he had to prepare for the upcoming year.

Back at KaibaCorp. Seto was typing on his laptop as he felt a presence of a Sennen Holder mixed with the Orichalcos magic, looking up he was greeting with the sight of the Staff Sennen Holder, with a slight smile, a smile that he would give no one but her he asked, "Everything is going according to plan I take it. Seth tonight is the night that the holders are to be at Hogwarts." The one called Seth nodded her white head and said as her sleeve on her left arm shifted showing her Orichalcos bracelet, "Indeed, however the challenges that will be on the 3 that are to be schooled are going to be hard. The little distraction Dartz had given us this might prove to be a little easier however that can change…" Seto merely nodded his head as he looked back down at the monitor and then looking up at Seth who walked around the desk and then looked at the monitor and then read what was there, with a slight raised eyebrow she nodded and said, "I hope to see you at Hogwarts for now I must return, I have things to prepare before the Great Feast starts." Seto frowned lightly but nodded, but before Seth could go, he raised his hand to her cheek and then stood up and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips, raising a hand to Seto's cheek she returned the kiss and said, "I shall see you tonight."

Upon returning to Hogwarts, Seth was greeted with the sight of the Headmaster and then she said in her cold distant devoted voice as the distant sound of thunder was heard:

"Been a long road to follow

Been there and gone tomorrow

Without saying goodbye to yesterday

Are the memories I hold still valid?

Or have the tears deluded them?

Maybe this time tomorrow

The rain will cease to follow

And the mist will fade into one more today

Something somewhere out there keeps calling

Am I going home?

Will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon?

Zero gravity what's it like?

Am I alone?

Is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet?

Still the road keeps on telling me to go on

Something is pulling me

I feel the gravity of it all…"

Dumbledore just merely smile as a small sparkle shown in his eyes and he said, "Come we shall head off to the Great Hall…" As both Seth and Dumbdore walked to the Great Hall, the only sounds where the sounds of shoes and staff clicking on the stone floor of the Castle as they walked to the Great Hall.

Upon reaching the Great Hall they walked in as Dumbledore walked to the Teacher Table and Seth walked towards where the students would be sorted, she gave a slight nod to Professor McGonagall and crossed her arms while holding her staff tightly. All the teachers knew about Seth and what she was capable of doing.

She was a high enough ranking to sit with the Teachers. However she is also a student who had been sent there to watch over the Modern Day Magic users; however that doesn't stop any threat from entering. However if one should provoke her then she would be force to fight back, such a thing had happen a few years ago the poor soul was lost to the shadows.

Meanwhile…

Yugi, Ryou, Malik and Joey sat in the train as they make their journey to Hogwarts. It had been an interesting time at Diagon Alley but none the less they got what they needed for this year.

Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way down the train looking for a place to sit, then they walked to the last section and looked inside the window to see only 4 people in there Hermione knocked without looking in. She heard a polite "yes?" from inside and opened the door. "Hi! Excuse us, but would you mind sharing this compartment? Everywhere else...is...full..." Hermione was, for once, speechless, as the images of the forms before her registered.

"Sure!" Yugi replied, smiling cheerfully. "There's plenty room."

"Yes. Please join us," Ryou agreed while the others just nodded.

Hermione shook her head and returned to her senses. "Thank you," she said, grabbing Harry and Ron by the hand and pulling them in, trailing their luggage behind… The three sat down opposite of Yugi, Ryou, Malik and Joey. There was an awkward silence. "I guess we should introduce ourselves. I'm Hermione Granger."

"Ron Weasly"

"Harry Potter." Harry waited for it. Every time he introduced himself, there was that stunned silence, followed by the glances towards the scar on his forehead. But neither of the boys sitting before him reacted to his name.

I'm Yugi Mouto."

"My name is Ryou Bakura. But most everyone calls me just Bakura. Nice to meet you."

"Malik Ishtar!"

"And I am Joey Wheeler, pleased to meetcha!"

The train ride was little then eventful as they reach their destination…Hogwarts Castle…

Upon reaching the Castle everyone filed into the Great Hall Doors they where greeted by two students, the first one however was different, this person had white hair, whiter then Ryou's hair and very pale skin, what was also a shock was the color of her eyes, they where the color of fresh drawn blood, in her hand was a long staff bearing the Sennen Symbol, with a quiet voice without looking at the new comers she addressed, "I see the chosen ones have arrived…" and the second one was Kaiba himself wearing a frown on his face. Without anymore being said Professor McGonagall said, "It is time for the Sorting…" With that she opened the doors, she and the girl both walked up to where the stool with the Sorting Hat was, however the white haired girl stood off to the side of the Teacher table.

Yugi and his friends watched the girl with interest, who was she, she looked to be nothing more then a student…What secrets lie with this girl…and what was Kaiba doing here as well. So many questions ran through their minds.

Yami raised an eyebrow a little and then asked, She holds a Sennen Item, but who is she? 'I'm not sure but I think we need to be cautious.'

Professor McGonagall continued to call the names of the students; one by one they where sorted until Professor McGonagall looked up and then called, "Bakura, Ryou. Domino City, Japan."

Ryou (slightly amazed that she had pronounced his name right) took a deep breath and walked to the sorting hat. He lifted it off the stool and almost lost his balance as he sat down. Ryou regained himself and placed the hat on his head. It slipped just pass his eyes. He wasn't quite sure what to expect. Then he heard the voice of the hat. Not in the echoing way it had been when it had called out the house names, but quietly, in his head.

"Hmmm. Several house qualities in here," the hat said. "Not a bad mind. Very determined to prove your worth. Seems to be quite a bit of stress and strain here, too. Seems you've made it through some rough times. You take a stand when it really matters. But something's missing here. It is noticeable when there is place for two souls but only one is present." Ryou's mouth dropped open but he remained silent while the hat continued. It didn't seem like it was going to reveal his secret. "I'm thinking... HUFFLEPUFF!" The final decision rang through the hall. The Gryffindor table cheered. Ryou sighed in relief and slid off the stool. He put the hat down and walked to the Hufflepuff table.

He turned to watch as his fellows were sorted.

"Mouto, Yugi. Domino City, Japan."

It seemed that they were being called by place rather than name. Stepping up to the sorting hat. He picked it up and with much difficulty sat down atop the stool. He had to manipulate his hair a bit to get the hat on properly. He then heard the voice of the hat in his mind.

"Ah. Another crowded mind, eh?" 'Apparently, Bakura had been unable to keep his Yami a secret,' thought Yugi.

"You're smart, there's no doubt about that," the hat said. "And there is a regal air emanating from the soul who shares this body with you. Very confident. Downright cocky, if you ask me."

Watch it, hat... Yami murmured.

"Moody, too. But I see the source of his frustration. No matter. It's clear to me where the both of you belong... GRYFFINDOR!"

Yugi climbed down off the stool, happy that he was at least going to be in a house with people he knew. Yami was grumbling a bit about smart-elect hats. He really needed some mental stimulation.

Seto walked confidently to the stool and sat down. He started to lower the hat onto his head. It had barely brushed the top of his hair before it shivered and called out "SLYTHERIN!"

"WHAT?!" Seto burst out.

"WHAT?!" came the distinct voice of Malfoy. The Slytherin table didn't seem to care if either of them liked the fact that Seto was in their house, as they clapped and cheered anyway. All except the few who cared about the death glances Malfoy was giving them. The reason Malfoy hated Seto was because of what Seto had said. He had said something along the lines of 'I'm richer then you and I'll sue you till the end of the earth.' Malfoy was mad because of the skill Seto had with research and that made him mad at the thought.

"But I..." Seto began to argue.

"Go sit at your table, please," Professor McGonagall instructed. The sternness in her voice told Seto that there was no arguing himself out of this. He grimaced and put the hat down rather roughly and walked to the Slytherin table muttering something along the lines of "stupid hat" along the way. He took a seat at the end and as far away from Malfoy as possible. He didn't sulk, though. It would be a sign of defeat. He just put on a mask of confidence and told himself he had nothing to be concerned with.

Finally the last two to be called by Professor McGonagall where Malik Ishtar and Joey Wheeler. Joey was put in Gryffindor, while Malik was put in Slytherin.

Joey being the goof he was tripped on the bottom of his robes and went flying down the steps. Sitting up he let out a small laugh of embarrassment.

"The Sorting is complete. Remember... while at Hogwarts, your housemates are your family. Those with more experience should set a positive example for the new arrivals. Help them in their times of need. Be understanding and compassionate. And now, I'm sure we are all quiet ready to eat."

Dumbledore clapped once and the plates, dishes, and glasses filled with food and drink. Yugi's eyes grew wide, first in surprise, then delight as he stared at the bowls of steamed vegetables and the plates of pork and potatoes.
