When they stepped off the train, the first sight they saw was Hagrid. He was motioning and calling all First Year students to come over to him. Tea and Brian looked at all the other students. "HEY RYOU! MARIK!" Brian called his hands cupped over his mouth to amplify his voice. The white haired boy and the blonde Egyptian looked around to see who called their names. Tea and Joey waved their hands to signal them. They ran over to the group and were introduced to Harry, Hermione and Ron. "You guys seen Mokuba and Kaiba anywhere?" Tea asked them. They nodded and pointed behind her. She turned around to see Mokuba and Kaiba RIGHT behind them. She jumped but quickly gathered herself. "Hey Berg, wheres the dog?" Kaiba asked. Joey was about to hit him when "I DIDN'T MEAN YOU! I MEANT HIS PET!" he yelled at Joey. "He's on the train, we were told to leave our pets and luggage on the train so I told him to be good," Brian said laughing at the two yelling.
Hagrid came to the group, "Cmon now, we gotta get goin' or we'll miss the feast," he said ushering them to boats docked at the edge of a huge lake. "Four to a boat, FOUR TO A BOAT!" he called out to all the first years. Brian, Tea, Yugi and Joey got into one boat; Mokuba, Kaiba, Marik and Ryou got into one and Ron, Hermione, and Harry got into one by themselves. Brian leaned over the edge. "Hey I think there's something in there. HEY HAGRID! WHATS IN THE WATER?" he called out to the giant of a man in his own boat. He turned a bit, "Giant Squid that is!" he called back. Brian immediately went back to normal position on the boat. Yugi looked at him, "What's wrong? I'm sure it won't hurt us," he said casually. Brian glared at him "I have seen and read Peter Benchley's THE BEAST. A LOT OF TIMES. I'm REALLY nervous around this thing ok? Just leave it at that," he said shakingly (COWARD!shouted someone who sounded EXTREMELY like Bakura).
After the boat ride, they entered the castle and at a flight of stairs and at the top was an elderly looking witch with a stern look and a bun type of hairstyle. "Firs' years righ' here Professor," Hagrid said to her. She nodded "Thank you Hagrid, that will be all,".
He nodded and went ahead of them. She looked at the large group of students."Welcome to Hogwarts, I amProfessor McGonagall.In a few moments, you will go through these doors and into the Great Hall to join your fellow classmates, but first I will have to tell you about the Sorting. There are Four Houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff (Joey laughed quietly), Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. You will be sorted into one of these Houses and you will join your Housemates at their tables. While your here, they will be your family. Now, every year we have a House Cup competition. Your accomplishments will earn you points, and your misbehavior will cost you points. At the end of the school year, the House with the most points wins the House Cup. Now wait here while I go see if they're ready for you. Please take this opportunity to smarten yourselves up," she said before she went through the large doors. Yugi and the others made sure they were ok in the looks department andbegan talking about what Houses they might be in.
"Wow, four Houses, wait how do we know what will be in? Do we have to answer like a quiz or something?" Yugi asked Ron. He shrugged "I heard from my brothers that we'd have to wrestle a troll or something,". Yugi stared at this.
/YAMI! I DON'T WANNA WRESTLE A TROLL/ he screamed in his mind-link.
/Relax, Yugi. I don't think the teachers would intentionally put new students in that much danger/ Yami said assuringly. Professor McGonagall came back and told them to follow her. They passed through the doors and entered into a very large hall with four long tables in the center and a long table in the front. Yugi, Tea and Brian looked around to find that everyone was staring at them and the others from Japan. "Uh, why are they staring? It's not like they haven't seen new kids before," Tea asked. Yugi shook his head "Not kids from Japan and one kid from America (thats me)," he pointed out. Hermione tapped Mokuba on the shoulders and pointed up at the ceiling. He looked up with her to find that the ceiling looked exactly like the sky from the outside. "WOW!" he yelled. "It's not real the ceiling, it's just made to look like the night sky, I read about it in Hogwarts: A History," she said matter-of-factly. McGonagall stood in front of everyone next to a stool holding aworn hat and a large roll of parchment. She placed the hat down and stepped back. The gang was curious on what to do next when the hat began to sing.
Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep you bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
"When I call your name, sit down on the stool and I will place the Sorting Hat on your head, and then it will call out the name of the House you belong in,". McGonagall said unrolling the parchment and began to call out names.
"Ryou Bakura!" she called out and the white haired young man came from the crowd and faced everyone in the Great Hall. He sat down nervously and nearly jumped when he heard another voice in his head besides Bakura.
My my, this is something I've never seen and that's saying something. TWO minds? Interesting. Now, YOU young man possess the qualites of either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, while the other you has qualites more suited for Slytherin.
/I don't care where I go, you choose the House for Ryou, where he goes I go/ Bakura said boredly. "Well in that case...HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat called out. Ryou took off the hat and was directed to one of the four tables. The people there shook his hands and clapped him on the back welcoming him to Hufflepuff.
"Brian Berg!" McGonagall called out next. He walked up there and looked at it. "Wow, old and ratty but this can tell me where to go eh?" he asked her. She just slapped it on the boy's head and waited.
Hm...an American wizard. I see you have a yearning for Power, great for Slytherin, but you have great loyalties to your friends, very good for Gryffindor. Where oh where to put you my boy.
"Look hat, I don't care for Slytherin from all the stuff I've heard about them. Put me in Gryffindor. I may want to be powerful but my friends come first. You hear me?" he asked looking up at the brim.
I hear you I hear you... "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled and Brian was led to the table where the Gryffindors sat.
(A/N: I'm sorry it's late and I'm tired so I'll just list where the rest of the Yugioh gang were put.)
Yugi: Gryffindor (duh!)
Tea: Gryffindor (double duh)
Mokuba: Gryffindor
Kaiba: Ravenclaw
Serenity:Hufflepuff
Joey: Gryffindor
Marik: Slytherin
After they were sorted and seated, Professor Dumbledore stood up and addressed the school. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! I have only a few words. Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!". Yugi and his friends just stared at him and didn't even notice that food had magically appeared in front of them. Well, Joey realized it and began to scarf it down. Hermione who sat next to him looked at him in revulsion (SP?). Tea sighed "Get used to it, that's the way he eats," she said as she reached for a small piece of chicken when a transparent head popped right through the plate. She screamed and latched onto Ron who fell to the floor with the sudden addition to weight of Tea's. Brian looked at the head mildly surprised. Harry and Yugi looked at him while Joey stared at the ghost.
"How can you be so calm?" Harry asked him. He shrugged "I read alot about ghosts and that kind of thing. Personally I'm not surprised to see them here," he said munching down on turkey. Ron looked at the ghost as it floated higher to reveal that it wore a puffy thing (DONT KNOW WHAT THAT THING IS) around its neck.
"I know you! You're Nearly Headless Nick! My brothers told me all about you!" he said with a smile on his face. The ghost turned and frowned. "I prefer SIR Nicholas if you don't mind," he said before floating off. Yugi and Hermione looked at each other then at the ghost.
"NEARLY Headless? How can you be NEARLY headless?" Hermione asked. The ghost turned and faced them. "Like THIS" he said before almost completely removing his head from his neck. Revealing bone and some flesh. Tea and Hermione looked away, Yugi and Joey stared with Harry and Ron, and Brian just looked at it before gesturing to Nick with his turkey leg. "NOW THAT'S A GHOST!" he said laughing. The other just stared at him. He looked at them all "What?" was all he said.
After dinner, Dumbledore stood up once more. "I have some start of term notices to give. First of all, the Forbidden Forest is restricted to ALL students. Mr Filch, our caretaker would like me to state to you all that the third floor corridor is restricted to anyone who does not wish to die a most painful death," he said quietly.Laughter could be heard from some people but it faded out except for one from the Hufflepuff tableby thedirecti(cough Bakura cough). "Now that we are all fed and watered...on to bed! Prefects lead your house mates to the dormitories,".
Yugi, Joey, Tea and the others followed Ron's older brother Percy to a large painting of a fat lady in a pink dress. She addressed them "Password?" she asked. Percy spoke clearly "Caput Draconis,". The painting swung open to reveal a door that lead into alarge room with couches and chairs, stairs and a large fireplace. "Boys dormitories upstairs on the left, girls the same on the right. You will see that all your belongings have been already brought up for you. Good night,".
Yugi, Joey, Harry, Ron, Mokuba and Brian lied down on their beds and looked at the canopy of their four-poster beds. Brian still hadn't thought of a name for the sleeping Worg pup on his belly. "I can't believe they're letting you keep a Worg here! They weren't even on the pet list!" Ron whispered loudly. Brian shrugged.
"Well Yug, Brian, Mokuba, looks like this could be a change of pace for us...no Shadow Games. Just normal magic," Joey said. This got Ron and Harry's attention. "Shadow Games? What's that?" they asked curiously. Yugi panicked "Uh, just a code for us. Means no more normal stuff right guys?" he laughed nervously. The others just said yes and nodded. Harry and Ron seemed to buy it for now. They all just looked around the room until the sleep coma kicked in from all the food they ate. Soon, they were all fast asleep and all you can hear were quiet breathing and Joey's snoring. In the dark, two items glowed a golden light before it became dark once more.
