While Bakura and Marik ran off laughing at their stunt, Harry, Yugi, Brian and Joey were at the table building their strength for the match that afternoon while Harry was telling him that Snape had been bitten by something, most likely that huge three-headed dog. "Hey Yugi, got a question for ya," Brian said after swallowing a large piece of chicken.
The tri-colored haired boy looked up across the table "What?" he asked. "You're gonna let Yami take over at the match right?" he asked looking at him while moving his food around with his fork. "Um, I don't know. I thought about it. I guess if he wants to, I wouldn't mind," he said looking at the spirit next to him (BTW: no one can see Yami except those with Millenium Items, and Joey).
/Aibou, do you wish to play instead of me/ Yami asked through the mind link.
/Well, I've never played before, except for practice. I guess I can handle it as long as I don't get hurt. But if it turns out to be too much, you can take over/ he said glancing back at him.
Harry noticed him looking over into space "Yugi, is something wrong?" he asked putting his hand on his shoulder. Tea shook her head "He's talking to the Pharaoh right now. They can talk like telepathic messages," she assured. "Ah, well, I hope we do well during the match," he told them. Joey gave him a thumbs up "Course we'll do good! We're da best rememba? Youngest players in a century man! No one can beat us!" he bragged.
"Well, since you've proven yourselves against a mountain troll, this should be very easy for you all," came a cold voice from behind them. They turned to see Snape there in his usual bat like manner. "Just do yourselves a favor...don't embarass your entire house," he said before walking off. "I really hate that guy...no I do, I truly do," Brian commented before attempting to swallow another large piece of chicken. He started to choke and waved to get his friends attention. "Oh jeez!" Tea gasped and started to give him the Heimlich (SP?). After a few moments of choking, he spat it out and it landed square on Malfoy's face, still covered in his saliva. The other Gryffindors laughed at the sight, and even Tea stifled a giggle. He wiped it off and shot glares at them all. Brian waved over at him "SORRY! MY FAULT!" he shouted.
-Quidditch Field-
The Gryffindor Quidditch team strode out to the side entrance of the Pitch. Brian, Yugi and Joey tensed up and gripped their broomsticks. "Well, you guys ready for this?" Brian asked them. Yugi just nodded slightly and Joey looked a bit pale. "Hm, I'm glad that we're all on the same page," he mumbled. The curtain opened up and they flew off on their broomsticks and onto the field. Brian, Joey and Yugi flew off to the side where the reserves were kept. The commentator was someone called Lee Jordan, another Gryffindor.Brian looked around and saw Mokuba, Ron, Hermione, and Tea standing to the edge wanting to see all that happened; he saw Serenity andBakura, not Ryou at the Hufflepuff area, probably wanting to see if Yugi screwed up; Marik and Malfoy watching with grins on their faces, confident their team would win; the last one he saw before turning to the game was Kaiba on the Ravenclaw side watching with curiousity. Probably wanting to see if this is another game he can try and beat Yugi at it.
Throughout the match, Slytherin proved themselves to be tough opponents. About halfway through the game, Yugi, Joey and Brian were called in to play. Fred and George handed them the clubs and Yugi waited till Harry went to the sidelines. He looked up at noticed that Harry's broomstick was wobbling and bucking like a wild animal. "What's going on? What's he doing up there?" he asked looking over at Joey and Brian. "Something's wrong...," Brian said quietly.
In the stands, Tea and the others noticed something was wrong with the match and began to worry for their friend's life. Hermione noticed something and looked over at the Teacher's Box with a large pair of binoculars. She saw that Snape was moving his lips quickly and wasn't blinking. "You guys! Snape's making the broom act all screwy! He's jinxing it," she told them quickly. Tea looked over and Mokuba leaned over the rail to see. "Well, what can we do about it?" Mokuba asked. Hermione took out her wand "Just let me handle this," she said before running off through the crowd.
Back on the field "HANG ON HARRY!" Joey yelled going around him to make sure no Bludgers hit him. Brian tried to get close but everytime he did, the broom put up more of a fight and he didn't want to risk making it worse. Yugi flew around looking for the Snitch while they handled the broom situation.When he came around the Teacher's Box, he noticed that Snape was stamping out a fire that had been set on his cloak. What the heck is going on in this place? he asked himself before looking around some more for the little golden ball. He saw around the Keeper's rings and dove for it when he heard screaming. He looked behind him to see that Harry had fallen off his broom and was plummeting to the ground.
Yami took over and turned the broom around and sped to Harry's falling form. About 5 feet from the ground, he grabbed Harry by the collar of his Quidditch robes and pulled him into the air. Harry looked up and saw that Yami steering, not Yugi. He was still hunting for the Snitch, while even holding on to his teammate. He finally found it once more and hoisted Harry onto the back of the broom. "Hang on," was all he said before he sped off after it. Yami reached out as far as he could and swiped at it, but missed it. He felt something tickling his arm and he landed on the field and reached inside, finding that he had indeed caught the Snitch. He grinned at went back into the Puzzle and left Yugi holding the Snitch. "YAHOO!" he yelled jumping up in the air and then hugging Harry.
Madam Hooch whistled and descended to the ground "Gryffindor wins!" she shouted. The stadium emptied out of the stands and filled the field. Ron, Hermione, Mokuba, and all their friends came and lifted Harry and Yugi onto their shoulders shouting "GO GO GRYFFINDOR" as loud as they could. Everyone except Tea, she was outside leaning against a beam breathing heavily. She touched the Necklace. This is bad, something wrapped in pure evil and darkness, it's after Harry...and Yugi. We all need to be careful...or else we're all going to die. She thought as she remembered her vision: A large figure draped in black was standing over Harry and Yugi with some kind of liquid running from its mouth.
After the match, Harry, Yugi, Brian, Ron, Hermione and Tea were walking with Hagrid in the courtyard having just explained what happened. "Codswallop, why would Snape do that to a student's broomstick?" he asked gruffly. Harry shrugged, "Don't know really, why in the world would he be trying to get past that giant dog a month ago?" he asked. Hagrid stopped and looked at him, "How'd you find out about Fluffy?" he asked. Brian stopped "Are you telling us that, that THING has a name?" he asked. "O' course he does! He's mine, I bought him off an Irish fella from down the pub last year. Then I lent him to Professor Dumbledore to guard the-," he started.
"Yes? The what?" Tea asked quickly. Hagrid sighed "Shouldna' said...don' ask any more questions! It's for the best. What that dog is guarding is business only to Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel!" he said shaking his finger at them. "Who's that? Who's Nicholas Flamel?" Hermione chirped up. "Shouldna' said that," he mumbled to himself before walking off.
"Ok, so we know that 'Fluffy' is guarding something important, and that someone called Flamel is involved...problem is..who is he?" Brian asked the group. Each of them shook their heads which meant the same thing: they didn't have any clue at all...
