Hey! I'm so bored right now that I'm updating! ()() I guess it's a good thing in a way for all of you! I really hope you are enjoying this fic. I'm trying to make it interesting. Anyway I did manage to get a review last chapter!

To Peter Kim:
That's a good idea! I'll try to incorporate dueling in the story, but I really can't write duels very well! If you have anymore things you'd like in the story go ahead and say! Thanks again!
And that goes for any of you! If you want me to put something in, just say it in a review!

'Thoughts of a person or emphasis'

LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN!

Harry Potter along with a family of red-heads and a bushy haired girl returned to the Leaky Cauldron from Diagon Alley just after the strange group had gotten to their rooms. They too were laden down with books and other necessary items, but not as much as Ryou and Joey. They had experienced the flight of the thief and the white haired boy chasing after him, they had also heard the thoughts of all who had seen them that day. They seemed to be muggle born and first years, judging from the fact that the white haired one didn't seem to realize he could have used magic to capture the thief right away instead of running him down. Either way Harry felt he needed to meet them. They were even with Professor Sprout, speaking of who, was just talking to Mr. Weasley.

"Oh that would be wonderful if you could do the, Arthur!" She exclaimed, obviously relieved of something. "I really do have to go and finish my set up before term starts, thank you again." And with those last words she disapperated((Did I just kill that word?)) back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"What's going on Dad?" asked Ginny, Ron Weasley's younger and only sister. She had just voiced everyone in their groups' thoughts. What was going on?

"You know those two we saw in the alley?" they all nodded, waiting to hear the rest. "Well, we'll be taking them with us to the train station tomorrow! Professor Sprout said that they knew and would be down shortly to come meet us? Isn't that wonderful? They're two exchange students from Japan and will be entering the sixth year at Hogwarts!" Mr. Weasley explained to them all happily. The others, expecially Ron, Hermione (the bushy haired girl), and Harry, since they would end up being in the same year as the two strangers, speaking of those two, they just started down the staircase.

The white haired boy spoke up first, surprising the group with his calm voice, "Hello, I'm Ryou Bakura, you must be the Weasley's," He said with a bow, shocking them with his British accent and well spoken english. Weren't they supposed to be foreign? "This is Joey Wheeler." The other boy bowed as well muttering his greeting of "hey."

"Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Arthur Weasley, this is my wife Molly and two of my children Ron and Ginny. Those are Ron's friends Harry Potter and Hermione Granger." said Mr. Weasley, introducing them all. Harry waited for their eyes to go up to his forehead, of any indication that they were surprised and overjoyed to meet him, but…it never came. They just stood there politely waiting for the introductions to end.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," replied Ryou who smiled kindly at them, making the girls blush slightly at his politeness. Harry sighed with relief, he was glad if they knew that they didn't make a big deal out of it like everyone else did. It was like meeting the Dursley's, just not as hostile.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ryou, and Joey stayed up later than the others last night, getting acquainted with each other. It turns out that Ryou was born in England, but moved to Japan, Joey had a language charm on otherwise they wouldn't be able to understand him, and neither of them knew any spells. This surprised Hermione so much she vowed to help them whenever they needed it since they were starting in the sixth year. Ryou and Joey also found out a little about the others. How Hermione was also born of no magic heritage, Harry lived with the worst people in the world though jokingly Joey disagreed and said Ryou had but got shut up with a sharp jab to his ribs by the white haired boy, and Ron had more brothers who were out of Hogwarts already, two of which had just left last year without finishing school!

When they woke up the next day they quickly grabbed a taxi, scratch that, a couple of taxis. Harry, Ron, Joey, and Mr. Weasley were in one the rest in the other, sadly enough for Ryou. They arrived at the train station and Ryou bolted quickly out of the taxi with a light blush.((A/N: I don't think this'll be a romance at all, but if you want one….)) They went in the station and stopped between platforms 9 and 10.

"Ummm…Mr. Weasley? How exactly will we get to the platform, I don't see it any where," asked Ryou uncertainly. Mr. Weasley smiled and had Ron show them what to do. The two boys gasped at this.

"Did your kid just willingly get stuck in a wall!" exclaimed Joey pointing at the wall in surprise. Hermione took her cue and explained to them. Before she could finish Ryou ran through the wall surprising the group who, after the shock followed him.

Through the barrier, the six students said good bye to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and got into a big compartment where two other students joined them, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. They talked and, after the trolley came, ate sweets happily, no one noticed that someone in the compartment was being stalked by a certain evil spirit who was itching to be let out of his ring.

/come now, Ryou, just let me mess with him…once? I' m really bored and you haven't let me have control ever since we left your house/ he whined, trying to get his hikari to listen.

/no! How many times must I tell you. I don't care HOW much you think that Neville boy is a weakling and nervous break down in the making, you will NOT scare him with Shadow Magic/

"So, Ryou, do you like the chocolate frogs?" asked Ron innocently. Unknown to him and the others, Ryou was having a current battle within himself.

"NO! Just shut up okay!" He screamed out loud on accident, everyone stared. He blushed, " ummm…I'll be in the bathroom!" and he bolted from the compartment red in the face from his outburst and silently scolding his laughing yami.

Ryou returned to the compartment, but the door was ajar and there stood a blonde haired boy with two big, as Bakura put it, Overly large body guards that only a stupid Pharaoh would consider using behind him. Apparently he was one to insult and didn't expect someone behind him to show some backbone. "How much hair gel do you use? I swear, you hair must be glued down!" Bakura spoke with a taunting air about him having gained control from Ryou.

"Excuse me?" asked the boy as he turned around and saw the white haired boy, "You're one to talk with your hair spiking up so much! And what's with the color? How OLD are you." He shot back, just as tauntingly.

"Oh, THAT'S original," replied the Yami sarcastically, "Why don't you take your horrible attitude and overly large body guards with you to your own compartment where someone CARES about what you say, fool." The boy saw the glare directed at him and hastily left the scene muttering something about his father and threats. Bakura just chuckled and reentered the compartment sitting down and letting Ryou take over.

"Well that was rich," replied Harry, "How do you keep your cool while insulting and being insulted?" He seemed really interesting in learning how so…

"Lots and lots of practice and someone to insult you constantly, that's how," He responded to the question. Soon after the girls left and they all changed into their school robes.

When the train stopped, they exited and heard the usual rumble of Rubeus Hagrid's voice for the first years to come to him, though this year he also said 'exchange students.' Ryou and Joey took that as their cue and were led to the man by the three who seemed to know him well and quickly had to leave to take the carriage up to the castle. Ryou and Joey managed to get into a boat with two other first years and started their sail across the lake. Their first glimpse of the castle brought gasps from everywhere and Ryou and Joey were very surprised to see that THAT was a school. It looked like something you'd read about in a fantasy story…of course they WERE going to a magic school, were they not?

The first years and two exchange students were lead into the castle and quickly met Professor McGonagall, who told them to wait there for awhile and left them be. Ryou and Joey heard the whispers about themselves, but decided it'd be better not to tell the other students off, so as to start out with a good reputation here. The professor came back and they were lead into a great hall((A/N: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA…………..sorry!)) where the ceiling looked exactly like the night sky. The students looked on it in awe.

Professor McGonagall came back out with a stool and hat, which sang a song to them explaining the houses and warning them about a return from the thought to be dead. It was found to be the 'sorting hat' and Ryou and Joey eventually found out, sorted you into your houses by looking into your head.

"Bakura, Ryou." Ryou walked up to the stool not paying attention to the stairs and allowed the hat onto his head, it fell over his eyes so he couldn't see the world around him.

'Ah…two souls I see in here.' Said a voice and Ryou jumped. 'Now, which of you should I sort, though not difficult to choose since you both seem to fit in the same house…better be GRYFFINDOR' and the last word was yelled out loud to the student body which erupted into excited clapping. Other students were sorted and then…

"Wheeler, Joey." Joey sat on the stool and let the hat over his head. It sat there for a moment searching his mind and at random mumbling to itself, before shouting Gryffindor! Joey sat next to Ryou at the table and was glad they were together.

Professor Dumbledore stood and started his usual speech. "Welcome, welcome, to another year at Hogwarts. Please note that the Forbidden Forest is prohibited and do not be out after school hours, our caretaker Mr. Filch has a list on his door of what is prohibited in the hallways, including magic. We'd like to welcome out new Defense against the Dark Arts professor, Professor Ishtar, and now, let the feast begin!" He sat back down and if Ryou and Joey weren't looking at the new professor they would have seen the food appear on the table.

"What's Isis doing, teaching at a magic school?" Asked Ryou confused.

"Especially since her brother is a serious---" Joey was cut off by Harry's question.

"Do you know the new teacher?" he asked looking at the staff table and Ryou and Joey filled their plates. "she looks nice."

"Let's just say we've met and didn't expect her to be here," replied Ryou eating politely and ignoring the inhaling of Joey as though it was normal. After the meal the houses were lead to their common rooms and dorms and quickly went up to their rooms, falling asleep quickly. Finally they had arrived at Hogwarts.

There you go! I hope you liked it! Please review and offer any ideas you want incorporated in this story. See ya later!
