Hello!!
Welcome to my latest chappie of Millennium Magic! ^_^ It's time to confuse you some more!!! *evil grin*
I know you were all just waiting for this chappie, and you really want me to shut up now so you can figure out what happens next, so....
Seeing as there's really no reason not to do so, I'll go ahead and shut up now so you can read the next chappie. ^_^
Oh, wait... Noteish things:
Words written in Italics for this chappie is thinking... ( 'Cause I'm getting tired of writing in //word.// things...) the italics may or may not show up... (my computer tends to make italics not work on FF.net...) So it'll be: 'word' like that. k? (I'm confusing myself)
I will give you a hint about who it is.... It's NOT a girl. It's a guy. Not saying any more than that, though. ^_^
Also, about the "long coat" that whoever did it said that they had... In my opinion, all the charas on Yu-Gi-Oh have really long coats... All of MY coats have always come down to my waist, and no lower, and so I call all the coats they wear that come down to their waists and then flare out, quite long coats... so don't read too much into that comment, k?
Alright, NOW the ficcie...
*********************************************************************
Harry stared at Kaiba.
"What?" he asked softly.
RRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harry jumped. Kaiba put his book into his bag, got up and left the room without another word. The rest of the class also began filing out of the room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione gathered up what little school supplies they had been given and stuffed it all into their new backpacks.
They all walked single file out of the room, Harry following the other two. Suddenly, somebody grabbed the back of his coller, pulling him backwards.
"Meet me after school. We need to talk." Kaiba hissed into his ear. His shirt was released and Harry whirled around, just in time to see Kaiba melt into the crowd of people that were on their way to their next classes.
'How could Kaiba have heard what we were saying? How much did he actually hear? If he heard too much, this could expose the entire wizarding world to muggles! Or at the very least, if Kaiba was the one who did it, he'd know that we're looking for him... I guess I'll find out after school...' Harry thought.
He hurried to catch up to Hermione and Ron, and he quietly told them about Kaiba wanting to talk to them.
"Well, I figured he'd want to, after what he heard us talking about." Hermione said.
"How about we don't talk about this in class anymore, all right?" Ron said.
Herry nodded. "Good idea."
They reached the door for their next class.
The rest of the day passed aggravatingly slowly, especially during their fourth period class, Math, which Kaiba was also in. He sat on the opposite side of the room, though, and he left quickly after class was over.
Just when Harry thought he couldn't take it any longer, the bell rang for school to get out.
Harry sighed in relief. "Thank goodness, it's finally over." he muttered to himself, gathering up his things.
Hermione and Ron nodded in agreement.
"Harry, did Kaiba say where to meet him?" Ron asked as they left the classroom.
Harry shook his head. "No, he just said after school."
Hermione sighed. "How in the world are we supposed to meet him if we don't know-"
Her question was answered before it was even completely out, becuase as they walked out the front door of the school, she spotted Kaiba leaning up against a tree, waiting for them, something clenched in his hand.
Harry went over to him and Hermione and Ron followed.
Kaiba looked down at Harry. "Let's not talk here. People could overhear." He turned and began walking down the street.
Harry, Ron, and Hermionie exchanged nervous glances, but they followed him.
It soon became obvious where they were going as the KaibaCorp building began to loom up. When they reached the huge main doors, Kaiba headed for an elevator.
The elevator took the four to the top floor where Kaiba's office was located.
Once they were in there, Kaiba strode over to his desk, pressed the comm button, and told his secretary that they were not to be bothered for any reason.
Then he turned back to them. "Have a seat." he said. They all did so, still very nervous.
Kaiba sat down at his desk and looked at Harry. "So I finally get to talk to the great Harry Potter face to face."
Harry didn't say anything.
"You do realize that what you did today was very foolish, very stupid, and could very well have landed you in Azkaban if it had been anybody but me who had heard you?" Kaiba asked.
"You know abut Azkaban, then?" Ron blurted out.
Kaiba turned to him. "Well, I should, seeing as I'm a..." he cut off his sentance and glared at the floor.
"So you're a wizard, then?" Hermione asked.
Kaiba shook his head. "No, I'm not." he said bitterly.
Ron stared. "Well then, how could you know ab-"
"I'm a squib, alright? Don't rub it in." Kaiba spat the name out like something foul. "My little brother got his letter this last year, he was going to go to Hogwarts and be a first year, except..."
A smile started to come out on Harry's face, but he forced it back. 'This is no laughing matter.' he thought, mentally grinning.
There was silence in the room for a few seconds.
"This explains a lot, then." Hermione said. Ron nodded.
"From what I heard today, you three have been trying to figure out who it was that made Hogwarts disappear, am I correct?" Kaiba asked, quickly changing the subject.
Hermione nodded. "But how would you know about that? Hogwarts is in England, this is Domino."
Kaiba rolled his eyes and lay out the paper that he had had in his hand onto his desk. It was a Daily Prophet.
"Oh." Hermione said.
"Pretty good of you to figure out that it was a Domino High student so quickly. That took me a few days before I figured it out. Have you collected very many suspicions?" Kaiba asked.
Harry nodded. "A few. You were one of them, actually, but now obviously, you're cleared..."
Hermione spoke up. "We were actually looking at everyone as a potential suspect..."
"Which is a nice way of saying, we suspected everyone of doing it." Ron put in.
Kaiba nodded slowly. "A good tactic, actually. If you suspect everybody, you have to be right for at least one of them..."
"So now were doing guilty until proven innocent?" Hermione asked.
"That seemed to have been working so far." Kaiba commented. "Seeing as you cleared me and my brother so fast."
Ron nodded. "True." He turned to Hermione. "And it does make sense to do that, seeing as we have virtually no leads."
Kaiba cleared his throat, got up from his desk, and pulled a small folder out of a nearby cabinet. "Well, you may have no leads, but I've been here almost all my life. I know what to look for in people, so I can see if they're acting suspicious." he plopped the folder on the desk. "And I have collected a few leads myself."
Ron stared at the folder, than up at Kaiba. "Why haven't you shared any of this with the Ministry of Magic?"
Kaiba snorted. "You think those dolts would listen to anything a squib had to say? I'm as good as a muggle, to them! And besides, even if they did listen to me, they'd probably just do something stupid like barge into Domino High insisting that whoever was doing underage magic in there, and black magic at that, should come out with their hands up."
Harry nodded, grinning slightly. "That sounds like the Ministry that we all know and love."
Ron agreed. "Yeah, they wouldn't even believe Harry when he said that You- Know-Who was back!"
Kaiba's eyes opened wide. "What?"
Hermione sighed. "Long story." she said.
"And long story short, Harry got attacked by him last year at Hogwarts, and no doubt he's the one that made Hogwarts disappear!' Ron said. "But the Ministry won't believe us, or Dumbledore!"
There was silence for a moment as Ron let this sink in.
Finally, Kaiba nodded. "Well, it makes sense that if the Ministry doesn't believe you, the rest of the wizarding world wouldn't hear about it by this." he said, gesturing to the newspaper that still lay on the desk, it's front picture showing lots of Hogwarts students running about a big ditch.
"Yeah, that's it exactly." Harry said. "Now, let's look at some of these leads you have."
Kaiba nodded firmly and opened the folder, revealing some pictures, notes, and a few letters.
Harry stood and went over to the desk, picking up the first picture, one of Yugi Moto. The picture underneath it caught hi eye, however and he set Yugi's picture down and picked that one up.
After staring at the picture for a little while, Harry looked up at Kaiba. "What are these?" he asked, showing him the picture.
"These are what are known as the Millennium Items. They are... said.. to hold a lot of power within them." Kaiba said.
"That sounds like you don't believe that any of that is true." Hermione said, taking the picture from Harry and studying it.
Kaiba shrugged. "I know that they have some sort of magic, but I seriously doubt that they really have all that much power. They're from Ancient Egypt. This," he pointed to one of the items that looked like a long stick with a strange eye symbol on the top of it. "is the Millennium Rod. This," he pointed to one that looked like a pair of scales. "is the Millennium Scales. This," he pointed to a ball type thing with that eye symbol on it again. "is the Millennium Eye. This," he pointed to one that was simply just the eye symbol, but with strings on it. "is the Millennium Necklace, or the Millennium Tauk, as some call it. This," he pointed to a strange ring chaped thing with spindles and a triange in the center. "is the Millennium Ring. This," he pointed to a golden key. "is the Millennium Key. And this," he pointed to a strange upside down pyramid thing. "Is the Millennium Puzzle."
Harry blinked at that last one, then looked at Yugi's picture again. "Hey, that's what he wears all the time!" he looked at the Rod too. "And that's what that Malik guy has with him sometimes! You're saying that they both have one of these items?"
Kaiba nodded. "Yes. And one of the main powers of these items is sending people or things... to the Shadow Realm."
**********************************************************************
"Alright, so now that we know exactly what happened to Hogwarts, it got sent to the Shadow Realm, we need to talk to Yugi and Malik to see if we can pick up any clues." Ron said.
They were now walking back to their rented house.
Harry nodded. "Mostly Yugi. According to Kaiba, he's normally very happy, very perky, but something's been troubling him lately. It's got to have something to do with this, right?"
"Right." Hermione said. "And there's one thing we've definitely learned today..."
Ron nodded firmly. "Uh, huh. Don't EVER assume that freaky people are suspects, because they're probably squibs."
"Ron!"
"What?"
"What I meant was, we learned that no matter how much the teacher isn't paying attention to us, we do NOT talk about this at all during class." Hermione finished with an annoyed look at Ron.
"Uh huh."
*************************************************************************
^_^ More evilness!!!
Sorry to all of you who guessed that our criminal was Seto Kaiba the squib! He and his brother Mokuba, the future wizard, have been officially cleared!
NOW who do you think it is?
*evil grin* See ya next time!
