ON WITH THE TALE!
On Thursday, three days after classes officially started, Yugi, Joey, Mokuba, Tea, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Brian made their way down to the courtyard to begin their very first lesson at flying on a broomstick. Mokuba kept bouncing up and down at the excitement building within him. Joey and Ron had to hold him still a bit so they could talk to him. Yugi thought there was some extra suger in his food and drink earlier that day. When they got to the courtyard, they saw Marik and Malfoy standing next to each other. They each stood next to a broom on the ground right when an older looking woman with strange colored eyes walked past them.
"Good afternoon class," she said to them. "Good afternoon Madam Hooch," was the reply from all the students at the same time. She looked at them all "Now, when I say 'GO' you will place your hand over your broomsticks and say 'UP'. If done correctly, the broom should shoot straight into your hand. Now, it will take some tries to get it right, but that's what this class is for. Now, GO!" she cried out and the class put their hands over their brooms and began saying up. Harry got his on the first try, Ron got hit on the nose, Marik and Malfoy both got them on the first try, Mokuba's floated but fell down, Joey made the mistake of stepping OVER the broom then saying 'UP' when the handle came flying into his groin. He fell down groaning while even his fellow Gryffindors couldn't help but laugh. Tea and Brian's broomsticks were different from each other. Brian's got up on the first try while Tea's just laid there. Yugi did it three times and finally it came up to his palm.
"Now, on my whistle, kick off the ground HARD, float then come back down," she said as the rest of the class finally had their broomsticks in their hands and they were mounted on them. She blew her silver whistle and Neville floated high into the air unable to control it. Madam Hooch looked up at him and yelled for him to come down. He just flew higher and higher, then made off like a shot around the castle bumping here and bashing there on the castle walls. He came plowing through the crowd the class made and knocked Mokuba down on his rear end HARD. Neville finally got himself stuck on a statue high above the ground by his cloak. His cloak tore loose and fell down on the ground pretty damn hard. Madam Hooch ran to him to see if he was ok. While she tended to Neville, Malfoy picked up a round object that fell from his pocket.
"Oh dear, a broken wrist. It's alright though, Madame Pomfrey will be able to fix that right away," she said helping the poor boy up. Tea leaned over Mokuba who was holding his arm. "Madam Hooch! I think Mokuba has a broken arm! It must've happened when Neville rammed him," she said worriedly. She nodded and looked at his arm. "Broken too. Miss Gardner help me take Mr. Kaiba and Mr. Longbottom to the Hospital wing please," she said gently. She turned to the class "If I see ONE broom in the air, the one riding it will be expelled faster than you can say QUIDDITCH," she warned before walking off with Tea and the injured boys.
Malfoy turned around holding the orb Neville had. "Did you see his face? Maybe if the fat lubbock gives this a squeeze, maybe he'll remember to fall on his fat ass," he said. The other Slytherins including Marik laughed at this. Harry got to the front and faced Malfoy. "Give it here, Malfoy! It's not yours," he warned. Malfoy smirked and winked at Marik. They both got onto their brooms and floated around like sharks. "Nah, we're going to put this in a tree for him, he could use the exercise looking for it, haha!" he laughed. He tossed to Marik and he tossed it back. Harry mounted his broom and against Hermione's warnings he soared into the air to meet them. Marik made his way around the crowd and pulled the Puzzle from Yugi's neck by the chain. He flew higher to keep Yugi from reaching it. Yugi mounted his broom and jumped off to meet Marik. Joey and Brian looked at each other, nodded and flew off on their brooms. "Give it back Malfoy or I'll knock you off!" yelled Harry so that Malfoy could hear. He smirked and tossed the Remembrall as hard as he could and Harry sped off after it. While those two were busy, Yugi and the others were having a hard time getting the Puzzle back from Marik. "Cmon Pharaoh! If you can't get this back, you don't deserve to get back!" Marik taunted as the three chased after him. "CMON GUARDIAN! YOU AND THE MUTT SHOULD GIVE IT UP RIGHT NOW! THERE'S NO WHERE YOUR GETTING IT FROM ME!" he roared at them. Ron and Hermione looked at each other when they heard"Pharaoh and Guardian" then looked back up at the confrontation.Joey and Brian wove around each other trying to throw Marik off while Yugi came up from under him to snatch the puzzle back. He almost had it when Malfoy knocked him away. Joey turned to Brian "I'll take care of orb stealer! You help Yugi getda Puzzle back!" he called out. Brian nodded and followed after Marik.
"Yugi! You ok?" Brian asked the tri colored teen as he tried to remain steady on the broomstick. "Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry. As long as I don't fall I'm ok!" he called back at him. He and Brian sped off toward Marik. Brian sped neck and neck to him and pretended to lose control over his broomstick. Marik slowed down and aimed his foot at him to kick him off when Yugi came down from above him and snatched the Puzzle from the handle. Marik looked in shock at this sudden guerilla (SP?) tactic. Brian took this opportunity to kick Marik's broom so hard that he went flying into a large tree branch (NOT WHOMPING WILLOW!). He fell to the ground with a loud thud. Yugi, Joey and Brian joined Harry on the ground holding their broomsticks high in victory. All was good in that shining moment...when.
"POTTER! WHEELER! MOTOU AND BERG!" came a shrill voice. They all froze and looked behind them at an open door where McGonagall who was looking quite pissed. Oh crap! Yugi, Joey and Brian thought at the same time. She reached the four and looked at them. "Come with me you four," she said harshly. They followed her into the castle with thoughts of them being expelled running through their minds. She led them to a door and turned to them. "Wait here," she said before going inside. A few moments later, she came out with a boy about their age that looked like he worked out. "Boys, this is Oliver Wood, Captain of our Quidditch team. Wood, I've found you a Seeker, and two replacement Beaters," she said beaming. The four just looked at each other with confused looks on each of their faces.
That night at dinner, they told Tea, Mokuba, Ron and Hermione about what happened. Ron stared "YOUR JOKING! First years are NEVER allowed to play on the House teams!". Joey grinned smugly "Well dat just proves dat we're da best!" he said. Hermione and Tea exchanged looks and shook their heads while Mokuba just nodded and ate his dinner. His arm was back to normal but before in the Wing, Kaiba found out about it somehow and stayed by him until he was all fixed up. "Wha? It's true! We are da best!" Joey protested.
"Is that so? Then how about a wizard's duel?" came a familar cold voice behind them. They turned to see Marik and Malfoy. The Puzzle glowed but no one except Yugi's friends and Marik noticed. Yami came and took over Yugi's body. "Fine, a Duel it is," he said in his usual deep voice. Malfoy, Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at him. They saw his change in voice and height but they couldn't explain it. Malfoy smirked and faced Harry. "How about it Potter? You and the midget duel me and Marik tonight in the Trophy Room?" he sneered. Harry nodded and looked at them both. They left Yugi, Harry and the gang at their table. "Oh well this is great," Brian muttered under his breath. Yami retreated back into the Puzzle and again the three noticed the change but decided not to say anything about it for now. Ron spoke up when they said that they didn't know what a Wizard's Duel was.
"Well see it's when two wizards face each other and fire spells at one another. First one down or dead loses," he said simply. The two just stared at him horrorstruck. "It's ok, mates! Neitherof you know enough spells yet to do enough damage as to KILL each other...just like a bloody nose or something," he finished. They seemed a bit more relieved but not much.
/Yami? What do I do/ Yugi asked through the mind link.
/Nothing you can do Yugi, if you don't go Marik won't let you live down and call you a coward/ Yami stated quietly.
After the Japanese and American left, Harry, Ron and Hermione huddled together. "What's with Brian and Yugi? Something's going on with all of them," Harry whispered. "I know, did you hear what Marik called them? He called Yugi 'Pharaoh' and he called Brian 'Guardian', and did you see what happened to him earlier with that pyramid around his neck? One second he's about the same size as us and a second later, he's at tall as Tea and has a deeper voice!" Hermione whispered back. Ron just nodded in silent agreement. From afar, Kaiba sat reading one of his library books when something in his cloak shimmered. He reached in and felt the Rod, pulsating. Something's wrong...something bad's going to happen here, and we're involved in it he thought.
