'Thoughts'

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Harry Potter.

Weeks passed and the students fell back into the groove of their school schedules. Harry and his friends, new and old, become very close and were having a great year. For one thing, Harry hadn't been experiencing dreams, and for another the new students were finally starting to control their wands. Joey was doing well in his without too much help and Hermione found herself a new library partner, Ryou. It turned out that Ryou did not only excel in the crystal ball gazing but all of Divination, his favorite right now was tarot card reading. During many of his readings during class he had found only good fortunes for Harry, which made the black haired boy glad, Trelawney must be telling a lie since Ryou had done about five of these readings. Why would Trelawney go against her 'favorite student' and the one with the 'inner eye?'

It was the day before Halloween and the students, thankfully, had the day off. Joey was facing Ron in chess while Harry watched, and Ryou was with Hermione in the library looking up books on defense. It turned out that Professor Ishtar was well learned, which surprised not only the exchange students, but the whole student body, who had only been taught by one decent professor in all their time at Hogwarts. She had surprised them at first by starting off the year with an essay about what they had learned previous years, but taught them off practical lessons from then on with the occasional essay. Ryou and Joey visited her often since she would ask them to come talk to her occasionally, today was one of those days and at about 2:30, the two boys left for the professor's office.

Professor Isis Ishtar sat at her desk waiting. Any time now the two boys she remembered so well from Battle City who had changed so much would be coming to see her. She enjoyed these chats with the two and had found out many things that had happened in Domino after she had left and was very surprised. The pharaoh seemed like such a nice person, as well as Yugi and the others, but unfortunately they had made the mistake of destroying great friendships. She finally got to meet Ryou, since she had only met Bakura and not the calm boy, and started to like the personality of Joey. Just then a few polite knocks were heard from the door. "Come in," said Isis in her mysterious voice. The two boys of her thoughts walked through the door and sat down before her desk. She conjured up some tea and offered cups to the boys who took them gratefully.

"So how are you enjoying your day off?" she started a conversation, Ryou smiled and answered her.

"Well I was in the library…"Isis chuckled at this knowing very well that Ryou was obsessed with that room, "And Joey was playing chess, that's about it!" He paid no attention to Isis' amusement at his day.

"So why did you want us to come," asked Joey, wondering if it was just for a conversation or if she had something important to tell them.

"What? Did you wish not to come?" she joked, "Actually…I called you here, but you might not be too pleased with why…" This caught the boys' attention and both looked at her intently. Whenever she said that it usually meant that she had new about Domino. "It's about back home…"Bingo!

"What happened? Is everyone okay?" asked Ryou, "Is anyone hurt? Like Yugi?" he added hopefully, but tried to cover up. Isis caught on to this since she heard about his visit to his home before he had left for London.

"Unfortunately for you, no he wasn't hurt. But there have been strange happenings in the city of Domino. That only a witch or wizard could achieve," she responded. "I fear that the magical world is forming a plot and it is starting in Japan" They all exchanged worried looks, no matter how much Yugi and the others hated the two, they still feared for their safety. "It may be early, but I advise you to not return home for your Christmas break…" Both boys nodded and, given their dismissal, left.

The next day found Hogwarts full of excitement. From what Ryou and Joey could gather, Halloween was one of the bigger feasts during the school year and was lots of fun. This day also made Harry and co. very happy because about 6 years previously it was the first day that they became true friends. During the day Ryou and Hermione didn't even go to the library but stayed instead to talk with the others and enjoy their time together in front of the common room fire.

The feast was just as described to the Japanese boys, wonderful! ((-Breaks out into song-)) They ate and this year nothing bad seemed to happen, until and urgent message came for Dumbledore and he rushed to his office. All the students left for their common rooms, overlooking it, but Harry went straight to the Headmaster's office. After trying countless sweets he finally gained access with the password: "Apple pie," which just didn't seem right to the boy, but he overlooked it.

Harry took the steps two at a time and when reached the doors into Dumbledore's office, knocked politely until he was told he may enter. The Headmaster was not at all surprised by the appearance of the young boy and smiled as he entered.

"Harry it doesn't surprise me much that you are here," he mused. "I suppose you are wondering if that letter concerned you or Voldemort." Harry nodded and took a seat as Dumbledore sat across from him.

"Does it not, sir?" he asked waiting and hoping he would get a response out of the man. Dumbledore just smiled at him and shook his head.

"It does and doesn't, Harry, for these news take place in a different country and I am assuming that it deals with Voldemort, yes, but for once this is not a plot against your well being. That is unless he heard of your new friends." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, eyes twinkling. Harry looked confused.

"Does that mean Voldemort is in Japan?" he asked and received a nod from his headmaster. Harry turned this over a bit in his head, "but why?"

"For that I am not sure, which is why I am heading to Japan tonight, to see why they are attacking a different country, let alone a place where you are not located." The headmaster smiled at Harry, "Don't worry; I'm sure everything will be fine, now you better head back to your common room, good night Harry." And Harry left the office, just as confused, if not more, than when he had entered it.
