Ahahaha! I am back with another chapter! So did you enjoy the time where I was at Band Camp? Well it was alright. Kind of difficult waking up at 5:30((my roommate and I decided to shower in the morning cuz otherwise it'd take forever)) and getting to bed at like midnight! You got REALLY hyper and back to your rooms about 11-ish! So I have started driver's education………-grumble grumble- and I have tennis and more band, thus I am very busy!

Randomness of the moment:

Talking to: myself! Well……..kinda…..in my head!
-Thinking about: what to write in this chapter! Gah!

Ryou watched as Harry slowly came back to the real world as the news sunk in. Ryou had just been told himself, finding it very shocking to find he had a half brother, not to mention that his father was a wizard. Ryou's thoughts traveled to his Yami, wondering if it would have been alright to tell his father. But didn't he have a memory charm cast on him, so it still would have been shocking. Hearing voices he pushed his thoughts aside and began listening to the conversation.

"But…how come I didn't know about this," Harry was asking Dumbledore confusion still evident on his face. Dumbledore just smiled and turned to the white haired teen.

"It appears Ryou did not know either, so I would say you're in the same position are you not?" Ryou tensed, since he just became aware that he was confused as well. "I have one thing to tell you, that you must agree on, before you are told more. Do not tell this to your friends, they'll find out later when we know it's safer to tell the magical world that you two are half brothers." Ryou and Harry nodded and waited to hear more. Dumbledore looked at them both. 'They really are entirely different, aren't they' he thought to himself musing over the different appearances of the two boys in front of him.

"As I'm sure you have figured out, going 'undercover' as we'll call it, requires a change in, shall we say identity. James, if you would…" James nodded and conjured a spell on himself as gold sparks flew from his wand and around his body. In that moment, James Potter was back, leaving the image of Mr. Bakura gone and only in memories of those who knew him. The only difference was the length of his hair was longer than it used to be, but that could always be fixed.

"We had to change his appearance so if Voldemort's followers found him he wouldn't be destroyed. Otherwise it would be very difficult to explain to the magical world that he was still alive and had just been killed." Ryou and Harry were looking at Mr. Potter like he was the strangest person in the world. Harry was surprised that he saw his dad's image. Ryou was surprised that he hadn't even known how his father had looked. Dumbledore smiled at their expressions.

"I guess it is a bit too much to take in isn't it," James asked his sons smiling sheepishly. "I had been knocked out before Voldemort could use the killing curse so he thought I guess he thought I had died from the impact of flying out a window. When I woke I saw Lily dead and Harry, you were gone so I thought you were dead as well. I went immediately to Professor Dumbledore and he told me you were safe, but that I would have to stay away from the magical world for awhile.

"We thought it would be better if I lived as a muggle with no memories of this world. So for about fifteen years I lived in peace. I married a muggle woman, and there were two children. It was as if I had been that was all the time, it was even fun being an archaeologist for awhile!" James watched as Harry's face went from confusion to shock to sadness and back to confusion.

"So you….wait, if you had two children where is the…" Harry looked over at Ryou.

"My younger sister and mother died years ago," responded the other boy in a quiet voice, showing he didn't really feel like talking about it at the moment.

"Oh…well," he turned to his father, "So you lived as a muggle, but why were you attacked if nobody knew about you?" James looked over at Dumbledore unsure if he should answer that question. Dumbledore looked at the two boys.

"Perhaps you two should get back to your dormitories, breakfast is in an hour and we need time to discuss more about what you should or shouldn't know. It is not time for you to know the roots of Ryou's mother." Harry looked ready to interrupt but shut his mouth when the headmaster shook his head. Ryou stood and said his dismissal taking Harry with him to the hallway outside the stone gargoyle.

"There is something they don't want to tell us," he turned to the black haired boy. "I think if we give them time, perhaps we can pull it out of them," he smirked showing that Bakura had been listening to the conversation. Harry nodded oblivious to the semi-possession. The two boys headed back to their dormitories to get ready for the day after putting the invisibility cloak on of course.

"Children, today we will be reviewing palmistry!" exclaimed Professor Trelawney as some of her students groaned, though she ignored it. Ryou sat there eyes glazed over as he tried not to laugh outwardly at the comments his Yami made about the teacher. Bakura seemed to amuse himself constantly in this class since the professor felt she could do anything that was Divination related. They were paired off into partners, Ryou ended up with Harry who seemed to be half awake due to the fumes flying around the room. Ryou softly poked him bringing him out of his stupor and reaching for his hand. Harry gave it to him and waited for Ryou to read it.

/What do you think Yami? It looks alright and pretty normal, especially for Harry. /Ryou looked at it more closely. /Ryou, it's no where near normal. Look as closely as possible/ Ryou nodded and did so seeing that the lines on his palm weren't connected at all. In fact, they were just really close little lines. Ryou looked through the book and almost gave up until he reached the last page of the palmistry chapter. /That's strange. It says if a person's palm is not complete, then their future is already decided, but there are two options. What does that mean Bakura/ Ryou kept looking at Harry's palm critically. /It means that he probably has some prophecy thing, or something. I don't know! I'm going back to bed. / With those last words Bakura shut their telepathic link and Ryou felt him fall into sleep. He looked over at Harry. "Do you have a prophecy written about you or something?" Harry almost fell off his seat and looked at Ryou like the apocalypse had just began.

"H-how did you…" he stuttered. Ryou smiled innocently at him for reassurance for himself and the other boy.

"I seem to be gifted in this subject I suppose, but the lines on your palm, they're made up of smaller lines see?" Ryou showed him where and Harry stared, seeing that for the first time.

"I never even realized that? Is that a bad thing?" Ryou shrugged showing that he really had no idea. Harry nodded and asked if he should read Ryou's palm now since the class period was almost over.

"You know I really don't see the point to that class. Why did we even take it?" asked Ron as they walked down the tower steps towards the Defense classroom. Ryou smiled at him.

"I enjoy it, it's really interesting," Ron snorted.

"Only because you can do it, if I could understand all that I wouldn't have so much trouble on my homework all the time." Ryou shrugged and sat down towards the front of the Defense room the others following his example. Hermione and Joey found their way into the classroom not long from them having some conversation about Arithmancy that the others didn't bother to listen to. Joey seemed to be fairing well in the class and Hermione was helping him understand that little bit he didn't get.

"Sit down class," said the mystical voice of Isis who most of the class thought could make a better Divination teacher than Trelawney. If only they knew, but sadly she had given her necklace to Yugi so that didn't matter too much anymore. "Today we won't be having a practical lesson," she stated in an apologetic tone as the class groaned not wanting to work. "Please read through chapter eighteen on Harpies and you will need to write a half foot essay on the creatures." Another wave of groans, "oh come now, it's not too difficult! Ryou, Harry, could you two come here please?" The two boys looked at each other and went up to her desk. Isis made sure the rest of the class was listening before she spoke to them in a hushed whisper that only they could hear. "Dumbledore asked me to give these to you. They're noted to give to Professor McGonagall before your Transfiguration class." She smiled at them before telling them to get back to their seats and read the chapter so they wouldn't fall behind.

Lunch was quick and shortly after found Ryou and Harry in front of the stone gargoyle for the second time that day.
