Live Again

Chapter Two

Silver instruments filled the room, buzzing and whirring. Paintings lined the walls, talking amongst themselves. Shelves covered the back wall, holding many interesting objects. But, perhaps the most interesting thing of all was the lovely phoenix sitting on a golden perch, looking regal and elegant. This magnificent bird rustled as a new creature entered the room. A beautiful owl flew through the window and sat at the edge of a large cluttered desk in the middle of the room. The door then proceeded to open and a tall, silver-haired man stepped into the threshold.

"Hello Tori, do you have something for me?" the silver-haired man muttered, picking up the owl sitting on his desk. He then opened the letter. It was written on paper with a small pyramid within a ring and small bangles hanging off the ring. Each side had Japanese characteristics reading Bakura Ryou down each side. The letter read:

Dear Professor Dumbledore,

I accept your gracious invitation and would be happy to come Saturday, June 15th. If you could tell me all of the necessary information, I would be most grateful.

Yours truly,

Bakura Ryou

High School Graduate

P.S. I hope that I am able to tell someone about this, because I've told my best friend and his boyfriend. You can count on their trustworthiness. I also would like to know if electronics will work in Hogwarts, and how it is I will be getting wherever it is that I am going. -Bakura

The headmaster chuckled with merriment, 'This will be interesting…' Dumbledore thought before writing a letter in response.

"When do you think that you'll be able to visit again?" And amethyst eyed youth asked anxiously while helping another youth pack what seemed to be all the clothes that he owned.

"Dunno. Christmas, probably," the other youth answered nonchalantly as he attempted to close his rather large trunk.

"I think that the owl's come back!" Yelled Yugi with excitement and astonishment.

Sure enough, there was a tawny owl at the window. Ryou let it in as Yugi went to get it some food and water. "What's that it's got?" Yugi questioned as he came back. The owl was not only holding a letter, but a small package as well.

"No idea. Lets open the letter first," with that, Ryou opened the letter and brought out another piece of parchment. It read:

Dear Bakura-san,

Thank you for accepting my invitation to attend Hogwarts. It is quite all right that you have told your friends about this, as long as they do not spread the word around. Electronics, unfortunately, do not work in Hogwarts, but anything battery operated can be used (1). As for how you will be getting here, I have enclosed, in a separate package, a bit of floo powder. Instructions are enclosed. When you get to the designated place, Tom, the innkeeper, will escort you to your room. Simply tell him who you are, and that I sent you. If you are wondering about money, bring ataround 22,000 yen (2) with you.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster

"Well?" Uttered Yugi, who had been reading the letter over Ryou's shoulder, "Open it!"

"Don't get your shorts in a knot, Yugi. I will," Ryou then proceeded to open the packaging, not ripping the paper lest he damage the merchandise inside. Inside the packaging was a small box, and inside that a glittering powder and a note.

To use floo powder, throw a pinch of it into a lit fireplace and shout the place of where you want to go, in this case, Diagon Alley (Die-A-gon Al-E) (3). Then step into the fireplace and you should appear at your appropriate destination. You will be expected in Diagon Alley at noon on July 15th, which means that you should leave at 8:00 PM July 15th. (4) We look forward to your arrival

Ryou sighed, "It'll be just like old times, won't it? I won't know anybody," he looked thoroughly depressed.

"No it won't," muttered Yugi, trying to console him, "I'll still be here, and you can visit on the holidays. Hell, maybe I can even visit you!"

"Thanks, Yugi."

"No problem. Now, do you have any more questions for Dumbledore?" Yugi stumbled on the L but his effort was a much better effort than last time.

"Plenty, but none urgent enough to bother him with," the phone then rang. Ryou jumped of his trunk, which then sprung open, to get it. "Moshi moshi, this is the Bakura residence. Oh, hi Yami! Yes, Yugi's still here, would you like to speak to him? Here he is."

"Yami?" Yugi asked tentatively, "Sorry for not coming home, I lost track of time. I think I might sleep over here, is that alright? Thanks. See you tomorrow, love ya, bye!" He put the phone back on its receiver "It is alright that I sleep over, right Ryou?"

"Yeah, I was going to ask you to anyways. Now, can you help me close this trunk?"

There was a deep blackness all around, so deep that nothing like it had ever been seen outside this place. Yet, somehow things thrived here. Monstrosities, and a peculiar being that was mostly human. But unlike the other unfortunate humans that survived here, he enjoyed being here, and had gotten out of here before. He did not know his name, maybe he never had one. Currently, this creature was thinking of a new way to escape. Though he 'loved' this place he grew bored tormenting the other souls that lingered. Whenever he plotted, someone was going to get hurt. This was no exception to that rule…

(1)Colin Creevey used an "ordinary muggle camera" on Hogwarts grounds, so I'm assuming that all battery powered things will work.

(2) 22,000 yen, I think that that's around 200 dollars, 136.42 pounds, and 27 galleons, 2 sickles, 24 knuts. I found a conversion for wizard money, so this info is reliable.

(3) He needs to know how to pronounce it so he won't get lost

(4) This is the actual time zone change.

Hope you liked this chapter and thanks for reading! Please review if you have any questions or comments.
